Out magazine is an amazing annual publication which celebrates the year's most inspirational people from the LGBT community. It has been running for 20 years, and in order to celebrate such a milestone, they've featured four of showbiz's most pivotal gay figures in a series of captivating covers.
Among the four are Sam Smith, Ellen Page - who came out earlier this year in an emotional, inspiring and, above all, honest speech about the importance of being who you are - Orange Is The New Black's Samira Wiley, and actor Zacahry Quinto.
The issue they star in has been named 'On the Shoulders of Giants', and references pivotal moments in LGBT history, as well as featuring discussions with all four celebrities about what it is to be gay in the focus of the media. And they all came out with some pretty remarkable things.
Ellen Page, hailed by the magazine as this year's 'Entertainer of the Year', spoke about the moment she 'came out'. "You just feel different in the world," she said, explaining her new-found liberation. "Once you've done something that you used to think was impossible, what could ever really scare you again? Even now, press is more enjoyable because I don't have to have certain conversations. For instance, I'm never going to have to have a conversation about a dress, or heels, ever again."
And she described the game-changing moment where she realised she had no choice but to be honest to the world about her sexuality. Ellen spoke about having listened to American journalist and gay activist, Dan Savage, voice his belief that coming out is not much more than a moral imperative.
"The way he spoke of it left very little leeway, and it really stuck with me," Ellen revealed. "We all go through a journey and get where we need to be, but I really did start feeling guilty. I kind of felt like an asshole."
And Sam Smith, crowned the magazine's 'Breakout of the Year', also had some enriching words to say about his life as part of the LGBT community. The fact that he has burst onto the scene, being who he is from the very start, has not only been an extremely important thing for him, but a liberating message for all his fans.
"I feel no pressure to live up to anything," he said. "I say what I think, act how I want to act, post what I want to post. There's no one telling me to do this, lose weight, look like this, sing like this, write songs like that. I've just been allowed to be me, and from all the nightmares you hear about the industry from a young age, I never thought that would be the case."
And it was meaningful for Sam that people were aware that his music charts his experiences in love just like any other heterosexual artist.
"My aim is to tell people how good it's been for me so that, hopefully, gay men or parents with gay children can look at my story and think, Wow, that's how it should be. That's what we can work towards. That's been my whole motive — to not make it a talking point. My music should be a talking point. My voice should be a talking point."
Well if that doesn't make you feel proud to have stars like Ellen and Sam as role models in the world of showbiz, we don't know what will.

The Florida women’s golf team floundered Monday in the first round of the Gamecock Intercollegiate and shot 14-over-par as a team.
The Gators are in 14th place, 20 shots behind the leading Duke as they head into day two.
The Gators struggled from top to bottom during the first round. Each player failed to crack the top 45 individually. Freshman Maisie Filler and junior Jenny Kim composed the Gators’ best finished, as both shot 3-over-par to tie for 47th.
Filler’s day was a rollercoaster. After starting out with four straight pars, the freshman shot 5-over-par on the following six holes. She bounced back slightly and carded back-to-back birdies on holes 14 and 15 to finish at a 3-over-par 75.
Sophomore Marina Escobar and junior Clara Manzalini came behind Kim and Filler and both shot a 4-over-par 76. Four bogeys, a double bogey and two birdies highlighted Escobar’s day.
Manzalini knocked down two birdies but also added six bogeys, including four on the back nine. Senior Elin Esborn finished the round 11-over-par for the 96th slot.
The Columbia Country Club proved a difficult host Monday.
Golfers averaged a 74.49, nearly three strokes higher than the course par of 72. Florida will need to adjust to the course quickly to get back into contention.
The team averaged 3.40 strokes per par-3, the third-worst average of the tournament. The Gators weren’t much better on the longer holes either and averaged the third-worst stroke total on par-5s at 5.15 strokes per hole. They also knocked down the fourth least pars and birdies among competitors.
Florida will look to right the ship Tuesday morning. Esborn will lead the Gators off the tee at 9 a.m. Live updates can be found at Golfstat.com.

- 2Swim4Life 2015 Press Release
2Swim4Life 2015 Press Release
On May Bank holiday- starting 9am Saturday 2nd May, finishing 9am Sunday 3rd May 2015, approx. 350 swimmers are pushing their physical, mental and hypothermic boundaries to the limits, to raise money for children and families in emotional and mental distress.
2Swim4Life is a gruelling outdoor event, hosted at the beautiful 10 lane, 50 metre at Guildford Lido, Surrey. The Masters swimmers, many of whom are National, International and World Masters medal winners in Open water, Channel and indoor pool, are required to swim a mile on the hour, every hour for 24 hours.
All swimmers are aged over 25; the majority are in their 40s and 50s. All are fit, keen and dedicated to raising funds for Place2Be.
Place2Be is a national charity that helps children and their families,where emotional and mental health is impacting on their daily lives. HRH The Duchess of Cambridge is the Patron and its reputation for effectiveness is well known in educational circles. The 2Swim4Life event this year, hopes to fund additional work in Yorkshire, enabling many more children and families to benefit from their help.
So far, since its conception, 2Swim4Life has raised over £70,000 for various charities and this year, hopes to top that to achieve over the £100,000 mark.
None of this would be possible without the support of some marvellous sponsors; Guildford Lido management- especially Dave Greewood,, Friends of Guildford Lido, Surrey County ASA, Claremont Marquees, Winner Group Plant Hire, All Spa Wellis, Swim Shop, Pentangle IT Ltd, LiveSound Guildford, ,Brian Baker, Jim Boucher, Don McKay, Ruth Cordero Obrecht, and all the other people who have given their time so willingly.
Thank you for your support,

Chemical compositions and antimicrobial activity of twig essential oils from three Xylopia (Annonaceae) species
The chemical composition of twig essential oils of Xylopia malayana, Xylopia elliptica and Xylopia fusca were analyzed using GC and GCMS. Both X. malayana (12.9%) and X. fusca (11.8%) twig oils contained spathulenol as the major constituent while X. elliptica twig oil was found to be rich in terpinen-4-ol (11.9%). The antimicrobial activities of the essential oils were evaluated against six gram positive bacteria, two gram negative bacteria and yeast by using the broth microdilution method. The twig oil of X. elliptica at a concentration ranging from 156 to 625 μg/ml was found to be active against all bacterial and yeast strains tested. Both X. malayana and X. fusca twig oils demonstrated weak activity toward all microorganisms tested with the MIC value of 5000 μg/ml. Gram negative bacteria’s, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli seemed to be resistant to the essential oils tested. α-Pinene showed moderate to strong inhibitory effect against all the microorganism strains tested with the MIC value ranging from 325 to 2500 μg/ml, as compared to the other standard compounds which showed weak inhibitory even at the highest concentrations used. This finding demonstrated that the twig oil of X.elliptica possesses antimicrobial activity which may be useful and potential ingredient in the production of health care products.
Key words: Xylopia twigs, essential oils, GC & GCMS analysis, antimicrobial activity.

The Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia has developed a web application Material Support at the Local Level Intended for Vulnerable Persons and Families. The application was developed based on the analysis of the content of individual decisions regulating the rights to provide social protection at the local level, focusing on types of material support or material benefits (in cash or in-kind) financed by local self-government units (municipalities and cities, hereinafter LSGUs).
The application aims to:
- provide citizens with information on the types of material support (cash and in-kind benefits) to which they are entitled in accordance with decisions on rights and services in the field of social protection in the municipalities/cities in which they live;
- provide employees in institutions, civil society organisations, research and academic community, as well as other interested actors, with an overview of the material support system regulated by decisions on rights and services in the field of social protection at the local level in the Republic of Serbia.
The Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit collected and analysed 113 decisions, adopted by 31 October 2020, while the remaining 32 decisions were not available, did not exist, or were not adopted in certain LSGUs (excluding LSGUs in AP Kosovo and Metohija). Systematisation and analysis of local decisions on rights in the field of social protection were conducted in accordance with the European System of Integrated Social Protection Statistics (ESSPROS) methodology, which is a recognised methodology for these purposes at the European level. In accordance with this methodology, social benefits are classified by function and by type. Risks or needs that require social protection are presented as functions of the social protection system and include the following eight risks/needs: social exclusion; illness/health care; disability; old age; survivors; family/children; unemployment; housing. In addition to the aforementioned social protection functions defined by ESSPROS, for the needs of the analysis of material support at the local level in the Republic of Serbia, and due to the frequency and the fact that such benefits are regulated in significant numbers through local government decisions defining social protection in their territory, SIPRU decided to introduce an additional, ninth, so-called “Nationally specific” function in the field of social protection: education. These include benefits provided by the social protection system, whose primary goal is supporting the process of education for children. On the other hand, according to the type, material benefits can be provided in cash or in-kind. Cash benefits refer to cash payments, while benefits in-kind refer to reimbursement of costs and directly provided goods and services.
The list of analysed decisions can be found on the page Decisions on Social Protection Database, while the Excel spreadsheet contains identified types of material support in social protection. In line with the ESSPROS methodology, benefits are classified as cash and in-kind benefits (cash benefits are marked in green, while in-kind benefits are marked in yellow).
The analysis of the decisions regulating the rights to provide social protection at the local level has mapped 62 types of material support, i.e. material benefits. The type of material support represents a set of individual rights to material support, which may have different names, but are given with the same purpose, which is why they are classified in the same type in this analysis. Simultaneously, 1,037 individual rights to material support were mapped.
On the Get Informed page of the web application, you can search through material support designed for vulnerable persons and families within a particular LSGU, while on the page Research, you can search by functions of the social protection system and by types of material support, and you can further narrow the search to the region, area and LSGU.
In order to be able to accurately, completely and timely inform citizens, civil society organisations and other actors about the material support/assistance provided at the local level, we invite local governments to submit to us their newly adopted decisions regulating the social protection system in their territory, including the decisions amending existing decisions. LSGU representatives can send all necessary information and documents to the e-mail address of the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia: email@example.com.

It’s early morning at my local train platform. As I wait, I hear the “cuc-koooo” call of the spotted turtle doves (image here). Or so I think, until I’m corrected by Wikipedia which categorically confirms that the turtle doves go “krukkroo – kroooo”. This common Asian bird is obviously less anglicised than I initially thought. And so begins my interaction with tropical birds as I head towards the largest walk-in aviary of the world, the  Kuala Lumpur Bird Park.
- Start of Day: KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur
- Cost of Day Out: Moderate
- History Content: Low
Much of the 150 acre  Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is covered in netting, that stretches high into the sky. The handful of common pigeons scouring for food have obviously snuck in through a gap somewhere. As have the pair of monkeys stealthily making their away over the ostrich shed towards the bird feed. Zebra doves (image here), turtle doves, imperial pigeons (Image here), blue and green Indian peacocks and the more subdued brown peahens wander around, semi-oblivious to visitors. And amongst these birds, I spot a beauty. A photographic but camera-shy crested pigeon seeking anonymity amongst the shrubs.
The park is split into four zones. The entrance/exit between the various sections of the park is secured with heavy chain curtains, stiff hinged doors, wooden walls and netted ceilings. All necessary steps to ensure that visitors can’t escape until they’ve covered every part of the park. I jest! There is no need for escape for man, or for bird for that matter. The park is very charming, set against a hill-side with paths winding around the slopes. Cages are large and airy. Some avians are even allowed to wander around freely.
Whilst the peacocks are not in the mood to display their iridescent tails for me, the colourful Indian Ring-Necked Parakeets do engage in some synchronised flying from one end of their cage to the other. There are over 200 bird species here, and therefore impossible to cover them all in a short blog. But it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of memorable scenes of these winged species.
One “wow” moment for me is a pond en route from Zone One to Zone Two. Crowded with feeding yellow-billed storks, they are so closely packed that there is an incessant clatter of beaks as they snap at fish in the water. Sometimes their beaks clash with each other as they go after the same fish. Any stork that successfully grabs a fish in its great big yellow beak, has to get away immediately or risk getting involved in a beak fight over the fish. The successful hunter becomes the hunted ……. a mesmerizing show to watch.
It wasn’t possible for me to spot every bird listed on the information boards despite staring intently into the dark, shady foliage for signs of feathery movements. However, counting on some of the more elusive ones to get hungry at some point, I hover around the bird feeds found at various points around the park. I manage to identify a few more birds. However when I get to the ibis section, I am determined to not leave until I find the never-seen-before-in-my-life, scarlet Ibis.
At the Flamingo Pond, the elegant pink flamingoes make a pretty display. So do the bulbuls, the love birds and the Oriental birds. The herons, whose nests are high up on trees, guard and feed their very noisy youngsters. Occasionally one parent flies away, perhaps for a break. I’m not surprised. The din emanating from the their family nests of twigs and branches is rather boisterous !!
The ultimate highlight for me are the amazing Hornbills. In their double storey cage, one perches close enough for me to admire that incredible beak. The piece on top is called a casque. It looks a terribly heavy beak. Which is why, according to Wikipedia, the hornbills are the only birds in the world whose first and second vertebrae are fused together, so as to support that weight.
The wooden  Hornbill Restaurant terrace that overlooks the hornbills, is the perfect setting for lunch. I enjoy a sour lime drink, whilst scanning the park to remind myself of all the birds I’ve just seen. As for lunch, I opt for a dish from the land of the hornbills.
It’s the  Orchid and Hibiscus Garden next, across the road from the bird park. My verdict – it’s rather disappointing, with very little labelling or signage. There are plenty of orchid plants around, planted in neat rows in formal beds in this small garden. But not many of them are actually flowering. And I would have expected to have seen plenty of hanging ones too.
The orchid park leads to the hibiscus (bunga raya) section. I read that the bunga raya is easy to grow, requiring little maintenance. Which does not explain the lack of huge, abundant, flowering bunga raya plants here. There is one redeeming feature though. The hilltop position of this park affords views of the trees of the Lake Gardens below. In fact that was my real treat, standing under those trees when the heavens open, noting that it takes a full ten minutes before the first rain drop snakes its way down the thick foliage to form a steady drip on my umbrella.
All is not lost, when I spot some lovely allamanda specimens, a native of the Americas, as I depart the hibiscus section. However, my day is far from over. It’s now a light drizzle as I wander down the hill. Which lends itself perfectly for exploring the complex of museums around the Lake Gardens this rainy afternoon in Kuala Lumpur.

Former NHL enforcer Georges Laraque returned home Tuesday after spending the weekend at the hospital recovering from the coronavirus. Laraque announced his diagnosis of the respiratory disease on Thursday via Twitter. He played in the league for 13 seasons, spending the majority of them with the Edmonton Oilers.
Because the 43-year-old Laraque has asthma, as he points out in his post, he may be at higher risk of getting very sick from the global pandemic as COVID-19 can trigger an asthma attack, and even cause pneumonia as well as acute respiratory disease.
Bon je ne suis pas invincible, je viens tout juste d’être diagnostiqué avec le Covid, pas la meilleure nouvelle étant donné que je suis asthmatique, ca va aller! I guess I’m not invincible, just got diagnosed with Covid, since I’m asthmatic, not the best news, will fight it off! pic.twitter.com/KIgo8Ra0sT— Georges Laraque (@GeorgesLaraque) April 30, 2020
Because of his breathing condition, the experience of recovering turned out to be quite difficult. He described his hospital stay to TSN on Tuesday.
"I was really struggling but just the fact that since yesterday I didn't need extra oxygen to breathe it was really encouraging because you know, gasping for air is one of the worst feelings when you can't breathe," Laraque said.
"So I'm in a room [in the hospital] with three people, all infected, sitting there not knowing what's going to happen. And just plugged to oxygen and waiting for my lungs to get better. I knew my life was not in danger, but still."
The Montreal native left Edmonton to play for the Phoenix Coyotes after the Oilers refused to grant him his request of a long-term contract with a no-trade clause. He was in Phoenix for all of 56 games before getting shipped off to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he'd play until 2008. He also had a stop with the Montreal Canadiens before retiring from the sport in 2010. At the end of his career, he totaled 695 games, scoring 53 goals and earning 100 assists.
To end on a positive note, here is a short, two-hour compilation of the fights Laraque got into on the ice throughout his playing career.

Hungarian DJ Kühl kicks it up with a wide array of electric sounds for your listening pleasure.
|Music has been Kühls most important hobby since he was 10 years old. He played at small bars and clubs in 1986, and his sets consisted of hip hop, funky and soul music beside the current hits until 1995. Kühl began to deal with house music in 1993, and from that time on he has played at every significant clubs in Hungary. He span the wheels on the first Hungarian organized truck at the 1997 Love Parade in Berlin, Germany. At the hungarian events of British Global Underground, Cream and Renaissance club nights, Kühl has long been the favourite DJ of the domestic clubbers along with Sasha, John Digweed, Steve Lawler, Anthony Pappa, etc. He plays house music with a kind of electro, tribal and progressive twist. Beside the inland parties, Kühl receives several invitations to Romania, Poland, Slovakia, the Check Republic, Yugoslavia, The Netherlands, Switzerland, The United States of America and recently to Japan. With his first Polish and Romanian performance, he contributed to the...[read more]|

The Lament of the Four Cities Fiona McLeod (1855-1905). And Finias Falias what happened? And 'perhaps the wave to hide Murias? And Gorias know the sunrise?....full poem translated from Irish into Italian and back into English, read at link.
Danu & the Tuatha Dé Danann. CAER IBORMEITH daughter of ETHAL ANUBUAL of Sidh Uamain. CAER is a shape-shifter and transforms on alternate years on the feast of Samhain into a swan. OENGHUS Irish god of love and one of the Tuatha De Danann dreams of CAER and consequently falls in love with her father forbids the union and OENGHUS changes himself into a swan and flies off with his true love (see Green, 1997, Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend).
The Cailleach ::The ancient Goddess of the lands we refer to as Scotland, as well turning up in Irish mythology. According to myth, it is from her apron that the stones fell that created the mountains, and it is from her touch that the bare earth is covered with snow and frost. The Cailleach may appear to be a “death” Goddess as we are surrounded in Winter’s bleakness however it is during this time of repose, light and life is drawn away from the surface, deep into the earth itself::
The Daoine Sidhe another name for Irish faeries. It is hardly surprising that the liberal gods and goddess found themselves hunted underground amid claims that they enjoyed hard liquor, sex, fighting, hunting. Apparently, their prime shaker and mover was Finvarra, the High King of the Irish Faeries.
CLIODNA. The legend of CLIODNA of the fair hair is a wonderfully romantic tale in Celtic mythology. She is the Goddess of the Sea, the Afterlife, and as the Celtic Aphrodite, a Goddess of Beauty. One of the Tuatha de Danann, resides in Tir Taingaire, the Land of Promise, an Otherworld where there is no violence or death. Cliodna is the daughter of Gebann, the chief Druid.
LUG LÁMFHOTA (Lugh, Luga; Lámfada, Lámfhada, Lámhfhada) [Lug the long-armed, long-handed]: Irish god with multiple skills. Always portrayed as youthful, handsome, and athletic, Lug's dramatic character becomes most sharply focused in Cath Maige Tuired; he comes to the aid of the Tuatha Dé Danann, who fear that their maimed king Nuadu may not be able to resist the invading Fomorians

Let's start with Catelynn and Tyler's beef with Farrah. To be honest, their unleashing on Farrah was deserved after Farrah blasted the couple for getting pregnant again. As you recall, the first season (EVER! Wow, that was back in the day!), Catelynn and Tyler's story followed them as they made the difficult decision to place their daughter up for adoption.
It's a little odd that MTV is calling this season 5 since the "first half" of this season has been over for a while and even had the reunion/catch up specials, too. For me, that means the season is over and we're on to season 6. I digress.
MTV released a new teaser trailer for the season 5 (and a half) premiere and it's just as we've come to expect – loaded with drama. Jenelle is battling with mama Barbara, who looks like she's had up to her eyeballs with Jenelle's non-parenting of Jace. Kailyn's son Isaac will be the voice of reason this time around, telling his mom to stop yelling. Things are looking rough for Jeremy and Leah and Leah cries about mounting medical bills (despite Jeremy making $5,000 a week not including their Teen Mom money…) and Chelsea battles with loser-for-life Adam Lind, who is dealing with another DUI and facing two years in jail/prison.
Well, this is a little feel good post, and goodness knows we don't get many of those when it comes to the girls of MTV's Teen Mom franchise. Kaily Lowry Marroquin has certainly been having a great few weeks, as you know. Not only was her memoir released last month, it has already made it to the New York Times Best Seller List.
Pride Over Pity chronicles Kailyn's past struggles, including sexual assaults, drug use, and a stint in a homeless shelter. Now married with two children and in college, Kailyn hopes the book will be an opportunity for her fans to see why she is how she is and learn from her experiences.
I'd bet that one of the best things about being a reality star who decides to write a book is that you already have a built in audience. Seriously, has a reality star ever "written" a book that hasn't ended up on the New York Times Bestseller List? Remember when that recognition was reserved for esteemed authors and not real housewives?
The latest reality star to achieve this honor is Teen Mom 2'sKailyn Lowry with her recently released memoirPride Over Pity. Y'all know Farrah Abraham is seething (and organizing a totally impromptu outing that will somehow, someway be documented by paparazzi she didn't realize were in the area…) over this piece of news!
There is no denying that the girls of the Teen Mom franchise haven't always had it easy, and in some cases their overnight success made their lives into an even bigger train wreck. Of course, there are a few of the young mothers that are trying to get their lives back on track.
While one of her counterparts has used her fame to catapult herself into the porn industry, Kailyn Lowry is hoping to that teens can learn from her past experiences that she's sharing in her new book Pride Over Pity.
It's Dr. Drewtime… I hope you stretched your eyeballs because they're about to be doing a lot of rolling. And if you're wearing false eyelashes because you want to look just like your favorite Teen Mom 2 star, I suggest you take them off for fear of injury during this reunion.
The set this year is really something – don't you love the giant TM2 letters with glittering lights. Things begin with all four girls on stage. Jenelle Evans has been taking hair tips from Chelsea Houska (but Megan is her terrible hairsome clone!) – same color red, same teased style, other than that she looks very pretty and natural. Dr. Drew asks Jenelle how Jace is. She answers, "Ummmm… who? Oh yeah… ummm… oh he hasn't been paying rent so yeah!"
Chelsea's eyelashes are a travesty. Mind you, this is her profession… Lord help South Dakota.
Last night was the season finale of Teen Mom 2. Aaaahhh… Jenelle Evans oh my, my, my. Man every single season this girl does something to make me think less of her. I mean just when I think she can't top getting arrested for heroin after marrying someone she barely knows, she goes and makes a baby with another lunatic she barely knows not 3 months after having an abortion.
For all of that, I felt a little bad for Jenelle last night – if only because it became more than abundantly clear that she is not right. Nathan Griffithis a sociopath. Something is seriously wrong with him. We will be seeing him as the subject of a Dateline NBC mystery where he has done something truly heinous.
And also, this recap is sponsored (kidding, not really) by the maternity lingerie photo of Kailyn Lowry and topless Javi Marroquin that is framed above their bed. At least Snuffy was smiling and that may be the only smiling photo of her I've ever seen!

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – PeaceHealth, a Washington state-based non-profit health system, has partnered with the P4 Medicine institute, or P4Mi, a non-profit consortium focused on applying personalized medicine in the clinic, the partners announced today.
PeaceHealth said that its partnership with P4 Medicine, which was launched in 2010 by the Institute for Systems Biology and The Ohio State University, will ultimately provide its network of medical centers in Washington, Alaska, and Oregon with new genome-based predictive and diagnostic tools.
The non-profit said that it will work with P4Mi leaders to identify pilot projects that will be launched over the next two years in its medical practices and communities.
P4Mi is centered around the vision of advancing what Leroy Hood, ISB co-founder and president and chairman of P4Mi's board of directors, calls P4 medicine — healthcare that is predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory.
"PeaceHealth will help us integrate emerging biologic science into community-based care models, and make innovations in wellness and health accessible to whole communities," Hood said in a statement.
"Over time, we hope to take rapidly emerging P4Mi health and wellness innovations and integrate them into everyday interactions between PeaceHealth providers and their patients to better predict, prevent, and treat disease," added Peter Adler, PeaceHealth's senior VP for strategy, innovation, and development.
The partnership agreement makes PeaceHealth a founding community health partner of P4Mi, along with OSU's Center for Personalized Health at the Wexner Medical Center.

Fake meri blouses are affecting businesses selling the real Papua New Guinean designs, says a local PNG woman seller.
Lucy Walo, a mother who sews and sells her line of blouses at Boroko Craft Market in Port Moresby, said Asian fakes were bad for business.
She was selling the remaining blouses from last year’s independence batch for K20 (US$6.15) when The National caught up with her Tuesday.
Walo, from Pangia in Southern Highlands said when making the blouse using original material, they sewed the red black and gold coloured materials together into a blouse and later screen printed the bird of paradise and stars.
“The hard work we put into making these original blouses is the reason why we increase the blouse price to K50 (US$15.30) and above,” she said.
“The Asian fabric has the bird-of-paradise and stars already on it, unlike the original materials we use.”
Walo, who lives in Morata Two, said she had been sewing and selling blouses for more than 10 years.
She only recently started experiencing bad business when the Asian fakes started appearing.
The PNG flag blouse is mostly sewn and sold around September for PNG’s Independence because of the high demand at that time.

I'm going to start a series in honor of PiBoIdMo! Every day I'll give you a letter or two and match it to a way that I find inspiration. Hopefully you'll be able to find some too (whether you are NaNoWriMo or PiBoIdMo or just writing or even just searching for a little inspiration in your daily life).
So, A is for alliteration! I love to play with words to get story ideas and alliteration is a fun and easy way for anyone to play with words. All you are trying to do is come up with words that have the same starting sound. Even if the resulting alliteration doesn't end up in my story (because it rarely does), I can play my way to a story idea. For example, I was at the library yesterday when they were hanging Thanksgiving decorations. One of the librarians mentioned they didn't have many turkeys to hang up. Here is my resulting stream of consciousness: turkey...tom turkey...talk turkey...talking turkey...ten talking turkeys...ten talking turkeys from Timbuktu...ten talking turkeys from Timbuktu, call their kooky cousins in Kalamazoo.
Sounds like the start of a picture book idea, doesn't it?
Tune in tomorrow for "B" and "C"!

Ploy said on the launch on his new label: “it’s a vehicle for my personal output now. I have more club-focused music on the way, and I’ll be exploring meaningful collaborations too. The name is due to me being deaf in one ear from an early age.”
Deaf Test is also the name of his new club night, first debuted at Venue MOT Unit 18 in London in August - the new concept saw all supporting DJs kept secret until the night, "[I want to] build a party that isn’t reliant on headliners to shift tickets," he said.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Lasers have opened a new door for the treatment of various disorders. Treatment of soft tissue intraoral mucosal growth by laser has profound effect on the patient acceptability taking the functional and aesthetic factor into consideration. The patient is able to get the outdoor treatment without the phobia of local anaesthetic and is out of the clinic in few minutes in contrast to the traditional method of surgical excision. Very few cases have been reported in literature regarding treatment of mucosal growth by soft tissue lasers. We present a case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma in a patient treated with an alternative approach, that is, diode laser, without the use of anaesthesia, sutures, anti-inflammatory drugs, or analgesics. The diagnosis of this lesion is equally important for correct treatment planning.

The Not-So-Simple Simple Bass Line
Today we have a riff that looks easy, but pick it apart and hone in on different techniques and it can be a great exercise to develop your note control and feel.
This groove is played in the home position on the neck, which is around the 3rd fret to the 7th. We will be playing the groove with our hand placed loosely over the strings so we can add ghost notes.
Controlling Note Duration
The cut-off point of a note controls the amount of space in the groove, which ultimately governs the feel of the song. Try playing the groove staccato (short notes) and again legato (long notes). Listen to how the note length affects the feel – short notes give a funkier, slightly more percussive sound, while long notes sound fuller and add warmth.
Look at the notation again and, ignoring the ghost notes, play the groove whilst paying attention to the rests.
Here are the subdivisions of the groove with the start of each note bracketed and the length represented in red. Ghost notes are shown in blue.
(1) e + a 2 e +a (3) e (+) a 4 e + a
Perfecting Ghost Notes
To get the ghosts notes tight, we first need to get rid of them! Understanding and feeling the basic groove is essential and stripping it back allows us to see the ghost notes as ‘extras’ so we can give them our full attention.
Because we are in the home position, we can rest our fingers loosely across the strings to get the muted sound we need for ghost notes.
As an exercise, try playing two muted notes before a C on the first beat of every bar. The first ghost note would start on the upbeat of 4.
(1) e + a 2 e +a 3 e + a 4 e + a

PHILIPSBURG–Helping Our People Excel (HOPE), a new political party, presented its draft manifesto on Tuesday night in John Larmonie Centre, ahead of Nomination Day on Monday, August 8.
HOPE President Mercedes van der Waals-Wyatt called on the community to share insights and ideas to add to the manifesto. The same was expressed by Jacinto Mock of Social Reform Party and Loekie Morales of Beyond St. Maarten Party, both of whom have joined HOPE for the September 26 Parliamentary Elections.
HOPE presented 11 priority areas to the public starting with a “stable economy and a sound budget” via “diversifying the economy and tourism product,” and develop agriculture and financial services.
HOPE also plans to provide a national health care plan, upgrade health facilities and launch into medical tourism.
Enhancement of quality of life for everyone with affordable housing, better schools, afterschool and feeding programmes are priorities for HOPE.
“Ensuring that every household has access to basic services – electricity, water, internet, basic sanitation” are also goals in the manifesto.
In the area of crime prevention and public safety, HOPE plans to educate youth through training/apprentice programmes and stimulate sports, introduce and execute safety and security plans.
Van der Waals-Wyatt said the party plans to revise the educational system to connect with the region (for example teaching in more languages) and aligning the curriculum with the needs of the job market.
All St. Maarten people should enjoy the same rights and opportunities. “Women should have equal pay as men,” the party president said.
HOPE has as a focus the introduction of alternative energy options, complete the waste-to-energy plan and recycling.
The creation of a better quality of life for the elderly with Social services and programmes are planned by HOPE.
The party intends to put focus on environmental awareness, enforcement of legislation, the creation of at least one terrestrial protection zone, regulation for a better public transportation and parking systems and nation building programmes.
HOPE’s long term focus and philosophy is “to set the example” in good governance, continuous education and awareness on integral laws of the country.
Among those attending the manifesto launch was retired pastor Wycliffe Smith, leader of St. Maarten Christian Party (SMCP). He and Van der Waals-Wyatt recently completed a course on good governance at the University of St. Martin. Good governance has been a buzz word especially among the new political parties taking part in the snap elections.
The launch was wrapped up with a question and answer session.
Van der Waals-Wyatt also called on voters to endorse HOPE’s slate of candidates on August 9 at the Civil Registry on Pond Island. As a new party without a seat in Parliament, HOPE needs 146 signatures (one per cent) of the eligible voters from the 2014 Parliament Elections to be on the ballot.

On 8 September, marine scientists managed to put a satellite tag on a 250 kg bluefin tuna at Øygarden west of Bergen.
During the project, the scientists managed to tag two bluefin tunas with satellite pop-up tags. This has never been done before in Norwegian waters, at the fish's northernmost habitat. The first tuna died soon afterwards, but the second tag was attached to a robust and healthy bluefin tuna after reeling it in for 45 minutes.
“The tag came off a bit earlier than intended, but that’s not unusual. We can tell that the bluefin tuna was still alive and that the tag worked itself off”, explains Keno Ferter, the marine scientist responsible for the project.
“Over the course of the 33 days that the tag stayed attached to the ‘Formula 1’ of fish, it soared out of the water and dived down an incredible 487 metres below sea level. It has travelled through temperatures ranging from 3.5 to 17.2 degrees celsius”, says Ferter, who has now submitted his final report on the tagging project.
After leaving Øygarden, the bluefin tuna probably headed south before turning back towards the Norwegian coast. Then it crossed the North Sea and passed the north coast of Shetland, before rushing south to the west of Ireland, where the tag fell off, floated up to the surface and sent its data back home.
“We now have 33 days’ invaluable first-hand knowledge about the migration and behaviour of one of the most northerly giants of the sea.”
The world’s largest tuna is once again coming to Norway to feed in summer, after a long absence due to international overfishing. It is the very biggest individuals that come here to the northern limit of their range. (Also see: Bluefin tuna makes a big comeback)
The data from the Norwegian project will be added to a big international data set on the bluefin tuna. The Atlantic tuna commission ICCAT draws on the research to ensure sustainable management of the formerly threatened species.
“And we want to make an even bigger contribution. We have just secured funding for another tagging project next year”, says Keno Ferter.
“Done properly, rod-and-line fishing is clearly the safest method when tagging bluefin tuna. Next year’s project will therefore be similar to this year’s one.
“After facing the remnants of a tropical cyclone, combined with travel and logistics problems for the fishermen, we had fewer hours at sea than I had hoped. But it was the very first time that rod-and-line-caught bluefin tuna were satellite tagged in Norwegian waters. We will build on our experiences from this year to design a good project for next year”, says Keno Ferter.

EMANUEL VARDI, IN MEMORIAM (1915-2011) / MUSIC BY PARTOS, HINDEMITH, COLGRASS, SERLY, WALTON
Label: Cembal d’amour 2011
Emanuel Vardi (1915-2011), one of the greatest violists and an excellent violinist was called “Master of His Instrument” by the N Y Times. He was a member of numerous chamber ensembles and string quartets, and a conductor and a composer of movie scores. He was the only violist, besides Wm. Primrose, to give a solo recital in Carnegie Hall. Odeon Partos (1907-1977) was a Hungarian-Israeli violist and composer, important founder of Israeli musical institutions. Paul Hindemith’s Trauermusik, for viola and orchestra, was written on Jan. 21, 1936 in honor of King George V, who had died the previous night. Its 4 short mvmts mourn and honor. Michael Colgrass began as a jazz percussionist and won the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Music. Tibor Serly (1901-1978) was a pupil of Zoltán Kodály, and arranged music of Béla Bartók to make it more accessible. He orchestrated the Broadway hit, Man of La Mancha. William Walton’s Viola Concerto (1929) is considered one of the most difficult in the literature, but is modally melodic and beautifully orchestrated.

Like most Alpine regions, the history of the Saalach Valley began with the construction of rural farmsteads many centuries ago. Mining or the central location on trade routes favoured individual villages. Otherwise, there was no industry or trade which could have improved the very simple life and meagre income.
However, this was already the beginning of the tremendous development into one of the world’s most popular living and holiday regions.
The preservation of the rural cultural landscape, the conservation of our magnificent natural space and a relatively low level of industrialisation make our region one of the most relaxing and pleasant places to live in the world.
As you drive through our country, you will see how land and people, animals and humans live together peacefully.

Detection of Temporal Change of Fishery and Island Activities by DNB and SAR on the South China Sea
Abstract:Fishery lights on the surface could be detected by the Day and Night Band (DNB) of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi-NPP). The DNB covers the spectral range of 500 to 900 nm and realized a higher sensitivity. The DNB has a difficulty of identification of fishing lights from lunar lights reflected by clouds, which affects observations for the half of the month. Fishery lights and lights of the surface are identified from lunar lights reflected by clouds by a method using the DNB and the infrared band, where the detection limits are defined as a function of the brightness temperature with a difference from the maximum temperature for each level of DNB radiance and with the contrast of DNB radiance against the background radiance. Fishery boats or structures on islands could be detected by the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on the polar orbit satellites using the reflected microwave by the surface reflecting targets. The SAR has a difficulty of tradeoff between spatial resolution and coverage while detecting the small targets like fishery boats. A distribution of fishery boats and island activities were detected by the scan-SAR narrow mode of Radarsat-2, which covers 300 km by 300 km with various combinations of polarizations. The fishing boats were detected as a single pixel of highly scattering targets with the scan-SAR narrow mode of which spatial resolution is 30 m. As the look angle dependent scattering signals exhibits the significant differences, the standard deviations of scattered signals for each look angles were taken into account as a threshold to identify the signal from fishing boats and structures on the island from background noise. It was difficult to validate the detected targets by DNB with SAR data because of time lag of observations for 6 hours between midnight by DNB and morning or evening by SAR. The temporal changes of island activities were detected as a change of mean intensity of DNB for circular area for a certain scale of activities. The increase of DNB mean intensity was corresponding to the beginning of dredging and the change of intensity indicated the ending of reclamation and following constructions of facilities.

RESERVA OR RESVERATROL, SIR?
QUESTIONABLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DRINKING RED WINE
La Crisis is alive and well in Spain. Fuel, and just about everything else has gone up, whilst wages have remained the same and in some cases have actually dropped. Pharmacies have taken industrial action by closing for three days as they’ve not been paid by Regional Governments. Taxes have increased, the standard of living has fallen along with the Euro.
Spain’s low credit rating dithers. If we had any spare money there’s no point in saving as interest rates are at an all time low. Even the Royal Wedding feel-good factor has dissipated and M&S have reported poor Christmas sales figures!
And, just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, there is now a question mark about possible health benefits from drinking red wine!
It was in 2003 when Dr. William McCrae, of Swindon’s Great Western Hospital, hit the headlines after acknowledging that he had prescribed 2 glasses of red wine a day (in fact Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon!) to 400 cardiac patients. The bandwagon began to roll.
In 2005 an Oregan (USA) winery was given permission to include on their labels that their wines contained antioxidants.
In 2007 Resveratrol, a compound found in grape skins, the more so in those of black grapes, was proven again to be an antioxidant and was added to a pill used to help stop cancer.
In 2008 a US study found that Resveratrol can help fight diabetes and obesity.
In 2009 research, conducted in Spain and published in the journal ‘Heart’, under the authorship of Dr. Larraitz Arriola, found that the risk of coronary heart disease decreases as alcohol consumption increases! Although the team was quick to point out that benefits must be set against the dangers of over-consumption!
In July 2011 Resveratrol was championed as an antidote to the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, where it was also stressed that the benefits of exercise were undisputed and Resveratrol should not be seen as an alternative, but used by those who, perhaps because of injury or an office-bound lifestyle, were not able to jog, gym and swim!
A month later another study suggested that the same antioxidant, Resveratrol, could be used to treat life-threatening inflammations such as appendicitis and peritonitis.
We loved it didn’t we! Medical practitioners throughout centuries had always used wine as a medicine believing, correctly we learned, that there were health benefits from its consumption. Now we had the proof!
But hold on – in September 2011 a group of Australian scientists challenged previous findings that red wine helps prevent heart disease (I wonder if their next study will research tinnies!). Their report entitled, ‘Myth Busted – red wine no magic remedy for heart disease’, stated that any positive effects of alcohol in reducing cardiovascular disease have been hugely overestimated, concluding that the dangers of alcohol far outweigh any health benefit.
And now it has just been revealed that a doctor at the University of Connecticut (USA) has allegedly fabricated results and falsified data that suggested health benefits from red wine consumption!
Where will it all end? Well for me, in a moment, it will end in a glass of rich, red wine, because I love it (in moderation like everything, of course – our Grannies were right weren’t they?!) and not because I believe it will help fight the cause of my father’s extremely untimely death (at only 48 years of age) and that of two of his three brothers. Yes, you guessed it, heart attacks!
