Reviews & endorsements
'Looking at Shakespeare is brilliant. Kennedy's analytic skills, his visual perceptiveness and ability to recreate the dynamic of performance from the static evidence of photographs mean the book moves seamlessly between productions seen and unseen ... His 170 photographs, almost uniformly intriguing, include many unfamiliar pictures even of familiar productions ... Justifiably confident in his broad sweep of European and American production ... Kennedy is that rarest of guides, the reliable kind.' Peter Holland, The Times Literary SupplementSee more reviews
'… no previous study addresses the visual world of Shakespearean theatre in its full theoretical and cultural dimensions. Kennedy, a playwright himself and author of acclaimed books on Granville Barker, is remarkably well qualified for the task, and the result is dazzling.' Choice
'Dennis Kennedy's skill in describing specific performances will lead even the most theoretical or textually-oriented critic into visualising how multiple meanings can emerge from Shakespeare's plays … Looking at Shakespeare is a beautiful book … both archival and pioneering, this work is a major contribution to Shakespeare studies.' Theatre Research International
'… it is Kennedy's commentary, at once lucid and erudite, that makes the visual documentation leap off the page. Enlightening for the general reader, invaluable for theatre professionals and academics, Looking at Shakespeare … breaks new ground for performance-oriented theatre scholarship.' American Theatre
'Clearly and elegantly written, and handsomely produced by Cambridge University Press, Looking at Shakespeare is richly informative. It sets a high standard for all future studies of Shakespearean scenography.' Daniel J. Watermeier, Theatre History Studies

I recently received a scholarship from The BC Endocrine Research Foundation (BCERF( to work as a student intern. I just graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland and this was an excellent opportunity for me to get some research experience before I started medical school in September. I spent six weeks working with the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR) analyzing changes in fluid retention across the menstrual cycle. Fluid retention is a sub clinical sign that varies in intensity depending on what phase of the menstrual cycle an individual woman is in. This is largely reported anecdotally among women. Despite this common and well-known physiological interaction, published scientific literature is sparse on the topic. The issue of fluid retention associated with the menstrual cycle is a topic that may give a better understanding of women’s health. CeMCOR took the initiative to investigate this systematically. A review of the previous literature showed that virtually no published articles dealt with fluid retention as a natural process. Most research dealt with fluid retention as part of a disease such as studies of “premenstrual syndrome” or as a side effect of oral contraceptives. These articles do not investigate the fact that fluid retention occurs in healthy women and that there was a need for documentation of this sign in a normal population. Commonly women’s body weight fluctuates by as much as 2.5 kg during a menstrual cycle. Some of the fluctuation is hypothesized to be due to fluid retention. It is believed that the ovarian hormone, estrogen, promotes fluid retention through interactions with the renin-aldosterone-angiotension pathway. This pathway leads to fluid accumulation throughout the body. Another ovarian hormone, progesterone, is hypothesized to inhibit fluid retention.
The data for this analysis were collected by 61 healthy women over one year. The women recorded their basal body temperature (BBT) every day for one year. They also completed a daily menstrual cycle diary that included a score for their feeling of fluid retention (on a scale of 0 to 4). The women also belonged to one of three exercise groups. They were normally active women (non-exercising), women who were participating in regular exercise (constant runners), and women who were increasing exercise intensity in training for a marathon. Using a statistical algorithm (quantitative basal temperature analysis), the date of temperature rise was calculated from the BBT. From this, ovulation and length of cycle phases were determined. The documentation of ovulation in the cycles was a unique feature of this analysis because it is quite common to see published articles that fail to report ovulation occurrence. This actually is a major mistake in that it has been shown that ovulation does not occur every menstrual cycle and it seems likely that the physiological changes in ovulatory cycles may not occur. All days of the menstrual cycles were broken down into one of two categories. The perimenses period was 10 days long and centered on the first day of flow; the remaining days of the cycle were classified as midcycle.
What Were the Key Questions?
We had three questions: (1) Does fluid retention differ between midcycle and perimenstrual days? (2) Are there differences between ovulatory and non-ovulatory cycles? (3) Is there a difference in this pattern by exercise group?
This research adds to the understanding and expanding knowledge base that CeMCOR is working towards. The issue of fluid retention and normal cyclic patterns has possible implications on women with high blood pressure, those participating in fitness or exercise programs or those trying to understand more about their physiological patterns. A scientific manuscript is in preparation summarizing this study. The Centre aims to educate both the public and the scientific community about women’s health and natural body rhythms.

New Welfare Support Setup
As a result of the restructuring of the Province, the Welfare Support has also been reconfigured. Each Area now has an Almoner, supported by 2 or 3 Case Almoners. Each Area Almoner is automatically co-opted on to the Provincial Welfare Committee, which meets just before each Area Meeting, in order to allow Area Almoners to report back to their Area Chairmen and Committees. Additionally, it has recently been agreed by the Charities that suitable Lady Case Almoners can be trained, which will enhance the support already provided to Brethren and other members of Masonic Families in distress or need. The next phase of Case Almoner Training is about to start very soon.
The new Welfare Support arrangements should ensure that the already high level of service provided will continue and that the passage of information, both upwards and downwards, will continue to function efficiently. This will make sure that any changes that are required, in order to enhance the service, will be implemented smoothly and efficiently for the benefit of those in need.
New Joint Application Form
A new Joint Application Form has been issued, with the aim of simplifying the welfare application process. The new form has been significantly reduced in size, as has the accompanying Explanatory Notes Checklist.

A recent review has taken place, to ensure that all personal information continues to be appropriately safeguarded and that it is only used when required and for the purpose it was intended for.

Trade-Offs in Information-Theoretic Multi-party One-Way Key Agreement
We consider the following scenario involving three honest parties, Alice, Bob, and Carol, as well as an adversary, Eve. Each party has access to a single piece of information, jointly distributed according to some distribution P. Additionally, authentic public communication is possible from Alice to Carol and from Bob to Carol. Their goal is to establish two information-theoretically secret keys, one known to Alice and Carol, and one known to Bob and Carol. We derive joint bounds on the lengths of these keys. Our protocols combine distributed variants of Slepian-Wolf coding and the leftover hash lemma. The obtained bounds are expressed in terms of smooth Rényi entropies and show that these quantities are useful in this—single-serving—context as well.

Title: The Complete Pistolwhip
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writer: Jason Hall and Matt Kindt
Artist: Matt Kindt
Spoiler Warning! This review talks about the plot of the graphic novel being reviewed. I try to avoid mentioning anything I see as a major twist or reveal, but I don’t guarantee it. Read at your own risk!
The Complete Pistolwhip collects the stories of Jason Hall and Matt Kindt’s independent crime comic: Pistolwhip, its sequel The Yellow Menace, and the short stories Mephisto and the Empty Box and January. Together, they form an intricate tapestry woven throughout an ensemble cast of interesting, nuanced characters.
Pistolwhip inhabits a setting that seems to be just prior to America’s involvement in World War II, but it’s never solidly defined, which I think is perfectly fine. It’s the era of radio drama, movie serials, and pulps. The eponymous character, Mitch Pistolwhip, is a private detective with a sturdy hat, a gray suit, and a flapjack habit. Pistolwhip is competent enough, and his lingo would sound right at home in a Humphrey Bogart movie, but he’s not nearly as tough as a Marlowe or a Hammer. He’s a bit of a subversion of the hardboiled private dick; while he never reaches the level of a parodic bungler, he never quite shakes his core as a bellhop who loved comics and the pulps, either. It’s an interesting engagement with the trope.
As I mentioned earlier, Pistolwhip is very much an ensemble book, despite being named after the bellhop-turned-detective. This collection starts with Mephisto and the Empty Box, a shorter tale about Mephisto, a stage magician who searches for a way to return his wife from a disappearing act gone wrong. The original Pistolwhip follows the intersection of the stories of Pistolwhip, a German named Mr. Vogel, the femme fatale Charlie Minks (who, like Pistolwhip, seems a subversion of the trope she embodies), and “Human Pretzel,” a mysterious and reclusive radio show writer in a wheelchair. After a tense three-way gun standoff between Vogel, Minks, and Pistolwhip, Hall and Kindt play with chronology by flashing back to the events in each of their lives that led to the standoff. With each subsequent story, we see a little bit more of the broader story until we see the whole pattern. It’s spooled out enticingly, and though it may seem oblique at first, everything resolves into the big picture by the end.
January is an eight-page story about Captain January, an associate of Human Pretzel. Mitch Pistolwhip appears briefly, and January makes reference to important events in the rest of the Pistolwhip mythos, but there’s not much to talk about beyond that, as interesting as it is. The Yellow Menace, however, is of comparable length to Pistolwhip. It features a crime spree by a criminal who has named himself after an antagonist in the popular Jack Peril multimedia franchise. To fight the Yellow Menace, Pistolwhip teams up with a flesh-and-blood Jack Peril. As much as Pistolwhip wants to believe his hero is a real person, most of the people around him know the “real” Jack Peril is probably just a delusional man in a costume. The “real” Yellow Menace commits crimes based on the Menace’s misdeeds in Jack Peril pulps, comics, movies, and radio episodes. These media are condemned as lurid and obscene by Roderick Loom, author of Enticement of the Naïve, gossamer-veiled send-ups of Fredric Wertham and his book Seduction of the Innocent, the catalyst for widespread hysteria about comic books in the ’50s.
Both Pistolwhip and The Yellow Menace deal extensively with one of my favorite themes in fiction: how fiction and reality reflect each other. It would be difficult to explain in the case of Pistolwhip without trying to explain the whole story and spoil the excitement of reading it, but naturally, The Yellow Menace features this explicitly with its Yellow Menace and Jack Peril copycats. The “real” Jack ends up being perhaps the most tragic and sympathetic character in the whole Pistolwhip saga. Yellow Menace also examines the role of xenophobia in popular culture of the era while simultaneously subverting it – in a Jack Peril comic book, when advised not to trust “the foreign element” in his fight against the Menace, Jack insists that “Evil doesn’t care about the color of our skin or what language we speak,” and indeed, the Menace is not from a foreign land after all. Plus, as mentioned above, Roderick Loom is a blatant, screaming analogue for Fredric Wertham, a key figure in comics history, one of my personal favorite subjects.
Kindt’s art is interesting, but I never quite curried to his style of drawing figures. This is solely a matter of personal taste, though, and this isn’t to say it isn’t good. It fits well with the story Kindt and Hall are telling, and the lines are crisp with a faded, pulpy color palette, which I rather enjoyed. Something about the linework occasionally delivers a surreal, dreamlike quality, particularly in Mephisto and the Empty Box. Poisoned or drugged characters skew the perspective, squashing and stretching in the frame. And I was incredibly impressed by Kindt and Hall’s layouts. There’s clearly a 9-panel grid in play, but Kindt and Hall play around with it enough to keep it fresh and interesting. A panel that seems to stretch horizontally across the page continuously may actually depict three moments, and not necessarily in continuous space. One of my absolute favorite uses of layout occurs in Mephisto and the Empty Box. A window depicts a green leaf on a tree in the first panel. The second column in the row has three vertically stacked panels that depict the leaf blown off the tree, then turning brown, and finally being replaced by a snowflake positioned in its trajectory. The final panel in the row depicts the same tree from the same window, now covered in frost. It’s an impressively ingenious method of communicating the passage of time. Panel borders of flashbacks and dreams are wavy like the thought bubbles of old. Panels depicting the action of a Jack Peril radio episode are shaped like an old radio. The lettering has a handwritten feeling, which occasionally makes it difficult to make out, but only occasionally. Usually the words are still clear, and the style is interesting for its novelty, especially combined with the lack of balloon borders for dialogue.
The Complete Pistolwhip is a handsome hardcover filled with great stories, and it includes plenty of behind-the-scenes extra material in the back. Though the art isn’t entirely to my taste, there are many interesting elements to it that I really appreciate, and the writing made me think. Those are marks of successful comic storytelling.

Ximena Sariñana Rivera (Spanish: [xiˈmena sariˈɲana]; born October 29, 1985) is a Mexican singer-songwriter and actress. In 2009, she received critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination for her debut album, Mediocre.
Ximena Sariñana was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and raised in Mexico City to producer/director Fernando Sariñana and screenwriter Carolina Rivera. When she was two years old, Sariñana attended an Ella Fitzgerald concert, claiming this to be the beginning of her interest in music and one of her biggest influences. She soon started listening to other artists such as Paul Simon and Tracy Chapman. She would often be seen singing and dancing and dressed up in costumes as a child. When Sariñana was 7 years old, her neighbor, singer Cecilia Toussaint, suggested she should take singing lessons with her teacher, Ricardo Sánchez, who instructed some of Mexico's biggest talents. She also took up piano lessons with Hanna Cot. In 1994, Sariñana acted in the film,Hasta morir (English: 'Til Death), which was produced by her father. Sariñana was educated at the Academia de Musica Fermatta, a performing arts school and Edron Academy, a private multi-lingual school, both located in Mexico City.
She began her acting career at 11 as the villain, "Mariela", in the popular Mexican telenovela Luz Clarita, starring Daniela Luján as the main character, Luz Clarita. The following year, Sariñana acted in the telenovela María Isabel as Rosa Isela, with Adela Noriega as the main character, María Isabel. Her final appearance in a telenovela was in the 1998 drama, Gotita de amor (English: Droplet of Love) as "Enriqueta". Other important movies in which she acted were as Ximena in the 2001 film El Segundo Aire (English: A Second Chance), Valetina in Niñas Mal (English: Bad Girls), and Mariana in the 2002 blockbuster film Amar Te Duele; all of which were directed by her father and written by her mother. She also appeared in a short film called De paso in 2005. In 2007, Ximena Sariñana acted in the movie Dos abrazos (English: Two Embraces) directed by Enrique Begne. Dos abrazos won Sariñana an award for Best Female Actress at the 38th Diosas de Plata of Pecime awards. The latest movie in which she has acted is called Enemigos íntimos (English: Intimate Enemies) and was released on DVD in late 2008. Directed by her brother, Sebastian, Sariñana returned to acting, appearing in the short film, Gonzalo, alongside Alfonso Herrera in May 2014.
In September 2014, she was revealed as one of the judges for the reality talent show competition, Mexico tiene talento, the Mexican version of America's Got Talent. The program airs weeknights on TV Azteca in Mexico beginning on October 20, 2014.
Music career: Debut album: "Mediocre" (2008-2010)
Sariñana showed an interest in music from an early age. At seventeen, after earning a scholarship for a five-week program at the Berklee College of Music, she composed three songs for the soundtrack of the Mexican movie Amar te duele; she also played the part of "Mariana" in the film. Later, she performed as the lead vocalist in "Feliz No Cumpleaños" (English: Happy Un-Birthday), a Mexican funk-jazz, pop-rock band that she formed alongside old friends from the Academia de Musica Fermatta. She captivated audiences by singing "El Triste", originally performed by Mexican icon José José, during a televised performance.
Her first solo album Mediocre was released on February 12, 2008 by Warner Music Group.The album was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Uruguay. Ximena wrote most of the songs on the album and revealed in Venus Zine's Summer 2009 cover story that, "Learning the language of my nationality was something I really wanted to achieve... so I thought maybe if I did a Spanish album it would be a good challenge." On March 28, 2008, Mediocre was certified gold by AMPROFON for selling more than 50,000 copies. Sariñana would later receive further achievement when Mediocre reached platinum status in Mexico for selling more than 80,000 copies.
The music videos for Vidas paralelas, Normal, and No Vuelvo Mas were all shot in Iceland. Vidas paralelas was directed by Pablo Dávila. In late June, British electronic group, Metronomy, stated that they were fascinated with her debut album Mediocre and produced a remix of La tina. Her music video for the second single, No Vuelvo Más, was premiered as an exclusive video on July 14, 2008 in MTV Mexico.
The album received critical praise in both Latin America and the United States. It earned a rating of four and a half stars from Rolling Stone magazine in September 2008. The album was also nominated for a Grammy for "Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album" at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009. She was later nominated for two Latin Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Song but lost to Kany García and Volver a Comenzar by Café Tacuba respectively.
In 2007, she contributed vocals for the song "Valenciana" in the album Extempore by the Ensenada-based nujazz band Kobol. In March 2009, Sariñana was featured as a vocalist alongside her then-boyfriend Omar Rodríguez-López with his solo group on a European tour, which resulted in the live record Los Sueños de un Higado. She also provided vocals on Rodríguez-López's solo albums Xenophanes, Solar Gambling, Ciencia de los Inútiles, Cizaña de los Amores and Tychozorente.
She and Jason Mraz released a Spanish version of Mraz's song "Lucky". The video for the Spanish-version was released to MTV on 22 June 2009. In 2012, she recorded a duet for the song, "Oceanside" by musician Alex Wong for his first solo album, "A City on a Lake".
Second album: "Ximena Sariñana" (2010—2012)
In November 2009, Sariñana was in the studio working on her second album. Her second, self-titled, album consists of English songs written or co-written by her. The album contains one Spanish-language track, called "Tu y Yo". The album was recorded in Mexico City and Los Angeles during 2009 and was completed in early 2011. It was released in North America on August 2, 2011. The album's first single, "Different", was released in June 2011. Shine Down was released as a promotional single in summer 2011.
Third studio album: "No Todo lo Puedes Dar": (2013 to present)
Her third studio album, "No Todo lo Puedes Dar", was recorded in Mexico City and Los Angeles in 2013. The album was released digitally worldwide on November 4, 2014.
The album's lead single is called "Sin Ti No Puede Estar Mal". The official lyric video was directed by her brother Sebastian and filmed in Mexico City in August. It was released on her YouTube account on September 18, 2014. The music video for the single premiered on Sariñana's YouTube account on October 1, 2014.
Sariñana dated musician and producer, Omar Rodríguez-López for several years before the pair split up in 2011. Her brother, Sebastian, is a director and toured alongside her as a musician in her band. She is fluent in Spanish and English and is based in both Mexico City and Los Angeles, California.

In the aftermath of the gruesome English Staplehurst rail crash of 1865, only one first-class passenger car remained on the rails. One of its passengers was Charles Dickens, arguably one of the greatest figures of English literature. With him were two women, a young lady named Ellen "Nell" Ternan, and Ellen's mother.
Many scholars have dismissed Ellen as the married-Dickens’ platonic companion. Other evidence points to the contrary, identifying Ellen as the married author's true love. Either way, Ellen is receiving a lot of press this month, as February has been set aside to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth (February 7, 1812) in over 50 countries.
|Charles Dickens in 1858|
But he was also quite human. Dickens was a complicated person, the survivor of a brutal youth, an energetic man, a demanding father, and a not-so-doting husband. He parted from his wife Catherine in 1858, after ten children and twenty-two years of marriage, shortly after meeting Ellen Ternan.
He was forty-five; Ellen was eighteen, performing in The Frozen Deep, which he produced. Ellen is said to have been clever and passionate, interested in politics and literature. She left the stage shortly thereafter, and was supported by Dickens for the rest of his life, residing in houses he took under false names. She received £1,000 upon his death, as well as income from a trust fund ensuring she’d be well cared for throughout her life.
|Ellen Ternan, 1858|
What happened to Ellen? Six years after Dickens died, she married a pastor twelve years her junior (it’s said she told him she was 23, not 37. Sounds a little bit like actresses of today!). They had two children and ran a boys’ school.
Ellen hasn’t been forgotten, of course. The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens, by Claire Tomalin, was published in 1991, inspiring an upcoming movie starring Ralph Finnes and Felicity Jones. Invisible no longer, Ellen’s name is forever linked to Dickens’—a complicated, flawed, gifted man by the standards of his time, as well as our own.
Have you ever read any Charles Dickens outside of a school assignment? Which of his books is your favorite?
Susanne Dietze has written love stories since she was in high school, casting her friends in the starring roles. Today, she writes in the hope that her historical romances will encourage and entertain others to the glory of God. Married to a pastor and the mom of two, Susanne loves fancy-schmancy tea parties, travel, and spending time with family and friends.

Airways Park – The Drive for Five by St. Albert’s perennial provincial contenders is stuck in neutral after spinning their tires in four straight losses in premier men’s rugby.
The first 15 finished the Alberta Cup fixtures with seven losses in 12 matches after Saturday’s disappointing 40-6 decision at the home of the rival Clansmen.
St. Albert captain Brett Kelly shrugged his shoulders and shook his head in disbelief when asked what happened against the Clan.
“It was horrendous,” Kelly said. “Stuff wasn’t working. I don’t know why. There was no flow today. There was no flow on Thursday [at training]either.”
The fourth loss in a row marked the longest losing streak for the firsts since 2006. They lost only 10 in 61 matches during their unprecedented run of four consecutive trips to the provincial final, highlighted by the first premier championship in St. Albert Rugby Football Club history in 2010.
The firsts desperately needed a win for a shot at a berth in the Sept. 22 north final, but the third loss in four matches against the Clan this year sealed their playoff fate.
The firsts will now regroup for the Sept. 8 semifinal against the Strathcona Druids. The season series is split at two wins apiece.
The Clan (7-4) and Druids (5-6) close out the fixtures in a meaningless affair Thursday after the Saturday’s contest determine the playoff rankings for the north teams in the premier table.
“We considered it our first playoff game. The team came out hard wanting to win and that’s what determined the victory for us,” said Clan captain Kerry McElhanney. “If we won it we were in the finals so it was a big game, just like a playoff game.”
The firsts were unable to dress a strong line-up against one of the best Clan sides in years because of injuries and player commitments in the Canadian Rugby Championship (CAC) circuit.
“We’ve been struggling this week with injuries. This late in the season we’re beat up,” Kelly said. “Two weeks off is going to help. It will be nice to get all the Wolf Pack guys [in the CAC]back too. It’s definitely big losses with those guys not here.”
In the first half the Clan exploited holes in St. Albert’s defensive line for two converted tries in the opening 20 minutes.
Andrew Marsden was successful kicking a penalty from inside the 40-metre line despite tricky wind conditions in the 23rd minute.
The firsts would later butcher two glorious opportunities for points inside the 22-metre line.
Marsden also missed a penalty attempt from outside the 22, but at the end of the half the import standoff split the uprights from inside the 22.
In the second half the Clan lit up the sluggish firsts with four tries and three conversions. A converted try in the eighth minute after the break signaled the beginning of the end.
“We came here to play some good rugby and that’s what we did today,” said McElhanney, a try scorer in the first half. “It all starts for us on defence with our blue wall causing turnovers, which leads to getting it out wide and getting our backs a chance to score some points.”
A weak outside defence allowed the Clan to make inroads into the try area. They also dominated ball possession and their kicker made some difficult conversions.
The firsts lacked an explosive game breaker to generate points. Their six points matched the team’s lowest scoring total of the season in the 9-6 loss to the Druids in the league opener.
“It was just simple mistakes,” Kelly said of the team’s performance.
Both teams were also under the gun to toe the line after the controversial July 5 slugfest at the Leading Edge Fields. The Clan were issued three red cards in the 18-16 win, which was decided by a penalty kick on the last play. The firsts were carded twice.
“There is always a big rivalry between St. Albert and Clansmen and it just came out in that game. It was just one out of our three or four games this year that became a rough one but that’s the way rugby works,” said McElhanney, a 19-year-old flanker.
Any red cards in the grudge match would have carried over into the playoffs.
“It’s always in your mind. You’ve just got to be as disciplined as you can,” said Kelly, 23, the 2011 Edmonton Rugby Union senior men’s MVP who lined up at flanker in Saturday’s loss.
A long pre-game chat involving the two captains resulted in both getting red carded in the brawl-filled affair. The referee and touch judges cleared the air over how tight the match would be officiated. No nonsense would be tolerated. There were also league observers in attendance and the match was videotaped from the Clan’s clubhouse balcony.
“The ref said we’ve got six eyes on you,” McElhanney said. “There were designated linesmen and they all had their mikes on so with six eyes they will see everything on the field pretty much.”

Dermatology is the branch of medicine associated with the skin. Find out what dermatologists do, what treatments they use, and what type of things can affect your skin.
Dermatology is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and adjacent mucous membranes. Dermatologists are the professionals that have been specially trained to identify and treat these conditions. Dermatologists first go to medical school and then complete specialised training in a residency program. They may train to treat both children and adults, depending on their specialty and interest. Specialised training is received in the following areas:
• The diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, melanomas, moles, and other tumours of the skin.
• The management of contact dermatitis and other inflammatory skin disorders.
• The diagnosis and treatment of skin manifestations of systemic and infectious diseases.
• The surgical techniques used in dermatology.
As well as these areas, dermatologists also treat cosmetic disorders of the skin, such as hair loss, scars, and skin changes associated with ageing. Some dermatologists opt to perform cosmetic work such as Botox or collagen injections.
Dermatologists use several treatments in their practice. Some of these include surgery, ultraviolet light therapy, photodynamic therapy, laser therapy, drug treatment, and topical therapy such as creams and lotions. Radiology may also be used in the case of skin cancers.
In cosmetic dermatology, a wide range of treatments for skin ageing and other cosmetic problems is provided. These range from creams, to injections, to facial peels, to cosmetic dermatologic surgery, to laser therapy. When deciding on a treatment for a cosmetic problem, consideration must be given to the type of problem, the treatments available, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment.
Skin changes can occur due to a number of reasons. Some of these include:
• Acne – a common skin change that occurs during the teen years and can last into adulthood.
• Pregnancy – during this period, dark patches can develop on the face but these usually go away after delivery.
• Actinic keratosis – a type of coloured skin spot that is caused by too much sun exposure.
• Allergic reactions – to medications or other substances.
• Autoimmune diseases – such as lupus and scleroderma.
• Reactions to a bite – such as a tick bite.
• Bacterial skin infections – such as impetigo and cellulitis.
• Viral infections – such as chickenpox or shingles.
• Liver problems – such as hepatitis.
Eating refined foods such as white flour and sugar, and the products that are made from these, and drinking tea, coffee, or soft drinks can cause wrinkles, unattractive skin and premature ageing. A lack of healthy blood can also affect the skin. Healthy blood adds a glow to the skin and keeps it well nourished, moist, and free from dryness and roughness.
Cleansing is also very important to the skin. Dirt and other particles can hide in the pores of the skin and clog the sweat and sebaceous glands. Proper cleansing not only removes dust, dirt, makeup and the other grime that accumulates during the day but also stops the oil secreting sebaceous glands from becoming clogged.
Diet is vital for good skin. The diet needs to provide all of the elements needed for health – such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. This diet should have plentiful quantities of seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits, and be supplemented by foods that are protective to the skin such as milk, vegetable oils, yoghurt, honey, and yeast.


We’re not sure who had more fun – the adults who built this “haunted house” in the gym, or the kids who went through it!
Sacramento Elementary School teacher Chris Sullivan here coaches this alien on how to avoid scaring the littlest kids too badly.
Story and photos by David F. Ashton
Sacramento Elementary School students, and their parents and friends, came back to school for a good Halloween-like scare on October 27 and 27 – visiting the “Haunted House of Aliens”, set up in the school’s gymnasium.
“This is to raise money for the Sacramento Kids’ Club,” said Sacramento teacher Chris Sullivan. “My uncle put together a hunted house attraction for Woodstock Elementary School last week; he agreed to help us out.”
Kao Saesho, who also works with the Kids’ Club after-school program, spreads spooky cobwebs in one of the rooms.
As kids adjust to the dim glow of these alien faces – something, we’re not sure what, because it was dark – reaches out and “greets” them.
And, help them “Uncle Barry” Sullivan did. As helpers put finishing touches on the dark rooms, Sullivan said, “My friend Randy Riedel wanted to do this big haunted exhibit for Woodstock’s Harvest Party, so I helped him put it together. It went over very well. We’re happy to bring it here, for these kids to enjoy – and to support their club.”
At this spooky event, they also sold popcorn and offered face-painting. “We’re using the money to pay for additional after-school activities for the kids, like athletics and arts,” Sullivan said.
After dressing the wizard, Barry Sullivan prepares to put the finishing touches on this, his fourth haunted house.

After a financial bailout earlier this year, fees in Portugal's health system have risen substantially. As a result, nongovernmental organizations say, the poor and elderly in Western Europe's poorest country can no longer afford essential care. Some Portuguese fear that austerity measures are threatening not only their livelihoods, but their lives.
Alfredo Silva, 67, showed up at an anti-austerity protest in Lisbon last month dressed as a skeleton. He says the costume shows the effect of Portugal's $100 billion bailout on retirees like him.

North Korea this week quite literally demonstrated an old truism, with the world as an anxious witness. It turns out that reaching space is, as the saying goes, as tough as rocket science.
The much hyped launch of the Unha-3 rocket, which North Korea said was meant to place a satellite into orbit to celebrate the centenary of the country's "Great Leader" Kim Il Sung, apparently failed Friday shortly after launch. It was the fourth time North Korea had tried and failed to do it, adding to the growing worldwide history of failed rocket launches.

Iran's suspect nuclear program will again be in the spotlight this weekend when negotiators from Iran and six international powers meet in Istanbul.
Iran was reluctant to have Turkey host the meeting, reflecting Iran's growing unhappiness with Turkish foreign policy moves, especially its call for regime change in Syria, Iran's key ally in the Arab world.
Analyst and columnist Yavuz Baydar says Turkey has stuck its neck out for Iran in the past, defending what it calls Iran's peaceful nuclear energy program and even voting against U.N. sanctions on Iran two years ago.

Cape Town - Everton midfielder Ross Barkley claims that his
best position is not in the middle of the park but as a striker.
According to the Daily Mirror, Barkley says that he will
have a greater impact on the game if he were to be played up front.
“I’m a striker,” said Barkley.
“I can have the greatest impact there. I’m free to roam
around, take players on, have shots and create chances.”
The 21-year-old added that there is no particular pressure
on him as Everton has had a tough season so far as the Merseyside Blues find
themselves in 13th position.
“I believe in myself and I know what I can do. It's not me
feeling pressure, it's just me putting pressure on myself if I don't do my
best, and I know I can do better.
"I just focus on getting better every day, putting
things right in training and then hopefully what I'm doing right in training
I'm doing to show in games as well."

Rod Stewart vows to pay for "pioneering medial treatment" for fan diagnosed with rare condition
- Publish Date
- Wednesday, 8 March 2023, 9:35AM
With his unmistakable rasping voice, Sir Rod Stewart is one of the most iconic rock stars of all time, but that doesn't stop him from giving back to those who need it most.
Just weeks after the 78-year-old stunned members of the public by paying for people to have hospital scans amid the rising number of people on Britain's National Health Service (NHS) waiting lists, Stewart has offered to pay for a fan to receive pioneering treatment for a rare genetic disorder.
Attending a charity auction for mental health charity, My Black Dog, in Canary Wharf, the 'Forever Young' hitmaker met 20-year-old Abi Evans, who has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which leaves her unable to walk.
The legendary rocker's generosity took over as he offered to pay and assist the aspiring pilot in receiving stem cell treatment in the US.
"I told him I've got a rare condition. He immediately wanted to hear more. I explained all about Ehlers-Danlos, that it was degenerative, that I have a paralysed stomach and nerve damage in my legs, which means I can't walk, but there was a possibility of treatment abroad that could make me better," she said following her life-changing encounter.
She continued: "He is sending me to get stem cell treatment in America. And more than that he is going to help in a number of other ways.
"I explained how a rare condition like mine hugely benefits from awareness, that leads to advances in research. He understood that and with his profile said he would help."
According to the Ehlers-Danlos Society's website, EDS refers to a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders that cause genetic changes in patients.
Among its symptoms include skin hyperextensibility, tissue fragility, and joint hypermobility.
What a legend.

Although automakers face tough times, Detroit is still alive and kicking, with several new launches set for the 2009 auto show. Honda and Toyota duke it out with their respective hybrid vehicles, while GM shows off a new direction for Chevrolet. Ford has an impressive new muscle car, plus its stable of hybrids and high-tech luxury Lincoln cars.
LOS ANGELES -- Not long ago, John Hawkins sold every Fit small car he could get his hands on. Now he doesn't want them.
"We are turning down everything" Honda wants to ship, says Hawkins, president of Great Metro Autogroup in suburban Los Angeles, which includes one Honda dealership.
Honda Division was on top of the world last summer, cracking the 10 percent market share threshold in the United States and claiming the top-selling vehicle in May, the Civic.
But Honda's world turned upside down when fuel prices plummeted and the economy tanked. Honda'… Read more
After our reviews of previous model year Civic Sis, we're always happy to get another one in the garage. The 2009 model turned out to be as fun as we expected, with precise shifting and handling that kept us in the driver's seat for long stretches as searched out mountain roads. The car's navigation system makes exploring easy--any time we saw a particularly crooked road on the map, we would head that way--and it's also useful for spotting sharp turns on unfamiliar roads before you get to them. Even better with this generation of Civic Si, … Read more
Although Honda's Integrated Motor Assist gasoline-electric hybrid system was originally dual-mode, purely internal combustion and internal combustion with electric motor assist (best thought of as an electric turbocharger), it has been further developed to operate in electric-only mode in some conditions.
That's interesting, but during a recent week with a 2009 Civic Hybrid, I never did figure out just exactly what those conditions were. Unlike most competitors, Honda is very low-key about hybrid power train dynamics. There is, as of now anyway, no real-time power diagram on the dash to show passengers how green they are. And because … Read more
Honda has released the first photo of the production version of its would-be Prius-killer, the Insight hybrid. So what has changed since the concept was unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show? Let's take a look at the two cars side by side and find out.
We were disappointed to see that our 2009 Honda Civic LX-S was practically devoid of much of the cabin tech that we like to see on the dashboard of our test vehicles. There was neither Bluetooth hands-free nor GPS navigation. There wasn't even a trip computer that calculated fuel economy. Even the Honda Fit has a mpg meter.
The Civic is one of the most oft-modified cars in the world, so we decided to upgrade ours. Because of the heavily proprietary nature of the Civic's base audio system, swapping the receiver for an all-in-one unit was out of … Read more
The Insight is back to do battle with the Prius (and possibly impersonate one). Brian Cooley takes a look at it on the floor of the Los Angeles Auto Show.
This century, vaunted supercar names such as Ferrari and Lamborghini might be displaced by Honda. At the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show, Honda showed off a supercar concept, the FC Sport, powered by an electric motor with energy generated by a hydrogen fuel cell. The fuel-cell powertrain, which Honda calls V Flow, is being used in the FCX Clarity, the hydrogen-fueled sedan that Honda currently leases on a limited basis. The FC Sport is designed to be a lightweight, performance-oriented car, and should have a 0-to-60 mph time of under 4 seconds to achieve supercar status. While Honda is known … Read more
While Honda didn't roll out any new models or concepts at SEMA 2008, it did introduce a few new trim levels and accessory packages to some old favorites.

Along with the HFP Civic, there were tuned Fits by Mugen and Tjin, tuned Pilots and Ridgelines, and a rather hot Accord Coupe. These vehicles represent the broad range of directions that owners take when customizing their Honda vehicles and the degree to which … Read more

Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) are the ionospheric signatures of atmospheric gravity waves. Their identification and tracking is important because the TIDs affect all services that rely on predictable ionospheric radio wave propagation. Although various techniques have been proposed to measure TID characteristics, their real-time implementation still has several difficulties. In this contribution, we present a new technique, based on the analysis of oblique Digisonde-to-Digisonde “skymap” observations, to directly identify TIDs and specify the TID wave parameters based on the measurement of angle of arrival, Doppler frequency, and time of flight of ionospherically reflected high-frequency radio pulses. The technique has been implemented for the first time for the Network for TID Exploration project with data streaming from the network of European Digisonde DPS4D observatories. The performance is demonstrated during a period of moderate auroral activity, assessing its consistency with independent measurements such as data from auroral magnetometers and electron density perturbations from Digisondes and Global Navigation Satellite System stations. Given that the different types of measurements used for this assessment were not made at exactly the same time and location, and that there was insufficient coverage in the area between the atmospheric gravity wave sources and the measurement locations, we can only consider our interpretation as plausible and indicative for the reliability of the extracted TID characteristics. In the framework of the new TechTIDE project (European Commission H2020), a retrospective analysis of the Network for TID Exploration results in comparison with those extracted from Global Navigation Satellite System total electron content-based methodologies is currently being attempted, and the results will be the objective of a follow-up paper.

DAMASCUS, Syria – The Syrian government says a power outage hit Damascus and its suburbs overnight, and blamed the blackout on a rebel attack on the main power line feeding the capital.
Residents say electricity in the capital went out late Sunday and returned to limited areas early Monday, leaving the city dark overnight.
Syria's state news agency quoted Electricity Minister Imad Khamis as saying that the outages were caused by "an armed terrorist attack on the main feed line." The regime refers to those fighting to topple President Bashar Assad as "terrorists."
Khamis said authorities were working to restore power.
The rebels did not immediately comment on the power outage.


Production Stage of Roasted Salted Pistachios
Roasted Salted Pistachios are made from the latest harvested product, which we call Dry Red. Since the product is harvested late, the most mature product is Dried Red Pistachio. We will share the production phase of Roasted Salted Pistachio with you in order.
- Dry Red Peeling Stage
Dry Red Pistachio is moistened with water in silos or in more primitive ways to make the shell moist. Separation from the shell is carried out by industrial machines.
- Kavlak Pistachio Drying Stage
Pistachio, which is separated from its shell, is dried by giving heat by means of industrial machines in the drying stage or by laying it on the field by natural means and drying with solar energy is carried out.
- Kavlak Pistachio Cracking Stage
Kavlak Pistachio product transitions to cracking stage after a certain humidity. It is aimed for the product to reach 100% crack rate by cracking the mouth of the closed mouths in the product.
- Kavlak Pistachio Roasting Stage
Before proceeding to the roasting stage, it is essential to make a product analysis in Pistachio cracked Kavlak. If the closed rate is high in the product, it can be passed to the cracking stage again. At this stage, the most commonly used product is Salt. Salt is brought into contact with the product in rotating pans at a certain temperature. At this stage, it is punctuality for the masters to reach the full taste of the product and decide on its flavor. Over-roasted product may be damaged. The under-roasted product does not satisfy the consumer. Masters are preferred from people with high experience in this field.
- Roasted Salted Pistachios Cooling Stage
After roasting the Roasted Salted Pistachios, the cooling process takes shape according to the preference of the companies. The cooling process takes place by keeping it in the silos for 1 or 2 days. Companies can make cooling pools with industrial machines to speed up the cooling phase.
- Roasted Salted Pistachios Packaging Stage


United Continental Holdings is considering parking its Boeing 747 jumbo jetliner fleet ahead of schedule to make way for newer, more-efficient twin-engine aircraft on its longest routes.
The carrier’s 22 747-400s might be retired as early as 2018, according to a memo last week to the company’s pilots from Howard Attarian, senior vice president of United Airlines flight operations. That would be an accelerated timetable, as then-Chief Financial Officer John Rainey in April said United likely would keep its four-engine aircraft at least until expensive maintenance work set for 2020 requires a decision on their future.
If United drops its biggest jet — its jumbos seat 374 passengers in standard configuration — the airline would accelerate deliveries of other long-haul aircraft, according to the memo. United spokesman Charlie Hobart confirmed the Chicago-based airline is considering the early retirement of the 747s but wouldn’t discuss the memo itself.
“As you know, this is an aging fleet that many operators are beginning to exit from service, and as this happens support for the aircraft, especially in our spokes, gets more difficult,” Attarian said in the memo.
Have you visited our Travel section yet?
The third-largest U.S. carrier has ordered 35 of the largest jets in Airbus Group’s A350 family, which seat 350 people. It could also add more Boeing 777-300ERs, with a capacity for 396 travelers, after ordering the first of the jets last year as a jumbo replacement.
Boeing is eager to notch 777 sales to fill its order book for 2018 and 2019 as it begins transitioning to an upgraded model, said Richard Aboulafia, aerospace analyst with Teal Group.
“You’re going to get a very good deal on 777-300ERs at that point,” he said.
Nicknamed “Queen of the Skies,” the 747 was the first wide-body aircraft and brought international travel to the mass consumer market with its 1970 debut. Carriers around the world have retired their jumbo fleets this decade and shifted to long-range twin-engine aircraft to save on fuel and maintenance costs. Delta Air Lines Inc. has been trimming its fleet in recent years and as of Dec. 31 had just nine left. United’s 22 fly out of Chicago and San Francisco.
United sees ending the jumbo’s run in Chicago in February 2017, with the rest of the fleet based in San Francisco, according to the memo. The document doesn’t make clear what jets would replace the aircraft. Brian Znotins, vice president of network, told investors in August that it would bring on Airbus Group A350s and variations of Boeing 777s and 787s as it retires the 747.
News that United may retire its 747 fleet sooner than anticipated was earlier reported by aviation blogger and journalist Brian Sumers.

The return of 2D platformers
I think it is fantastic that in the last 2 years game developers have started to create some new 2D platform games- there has been Little Big planet, the phenomenally successful New Super Mario Bros and the upcoming Sonic 4. I have never been a fan of the 3D platformers which I think either tend towards becoming adventure games, lame RPGs or simply a continued quest to get a good camera angle. So, lets hear it for neo-retro 2D platformers that get back to the jumping, running, dodging, waiting, timing, falling into lava/spikes, getting crushed, using little springs and squashing enemies that we remember and love.

Southcoast Health offering free mammograms to the uninsured during the month of October
Statistics show that one in eight women over the age of 40 will develop breast cancer.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — Southcoast Health today announced that it is offering free mammograms for uninsured individuals during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Screenings are offered at all 10 Southcoast Breast Imaging Centers across the region.
Statistics show that one in eight women over the age of 40 will develop breast cancer. Since patients are less likely to experience symptoms during the early stage of breast cancer, when tumors are small and most treatable, early detection and regular screenings are a necessity to reduce advanced stage diagnosis and often improve treatment outcome. The American Cancer Society (ACS) notes that it is very important for women to follow the recommended screening guidelines for detecting breast cancer at an early stage, before symptoms develop. The ACS recommends that women receive a regular, annual mammogram beginning at age 40.
Data also shows that individuals without health insurance are less likely to have regular breast cancer screenings, significantly reducing their chances of early detection. That is why Southcoast Health is offering this important screening, at no cost, to any uninsured individual during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Appointments are required. To schedule a free mammogram during the month of October, call central scheduling at 800-276-0103. Massachusetts residents will also have the opportunity to speak with Patient Financial Services for guidance on how to apply for health insurance. Rhode Island residents without insurance are welcome to take advantage of the free screenings, but will not qualify for financial assistance.
Southcoast Health is a primary provider of breast health services in the region. Southcoast Breast Imaging Center is designated as Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology, is certified by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers by the American College of Surgeons, and offer 100 percent digital mammography services at all of their sites throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.

Chef Dario Cavaliere writes a weekly food column for the Waterford News & Star
Almost every time I make crab at home, it is simply mixed with crème fraiche, lime and chilli and served with toast. But last week I got a kilo of delicious fresh crabmeat and decided to do something different with it. So I liked the idea of making parcels of crab, fried in pastry with a dipping sauce.
These are almost like little Empanadas, which are South American pies, filled with meat or cheese. But why not elevate these delicious little treats and use something a little special like fresh Irish crab?! Make sure to pick through your crabmeat to make sure that there are no little bits of left-over shell.
500g plain flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
150g cold un-salted butter, chopped in small cubes
500g crab meat (picked)
25g salted butter
2 leeks, cleaned and sliced thinly
1 garlic clove, minced
1 red pepper, deseeded and finely diced
1 bunch coriander, chopped
100g fresh breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
Zest and juice of 2 limes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
To make the pastry, place the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl, and rub the cold un-salted butter into it using your hands. When it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cold water and mix until it comes together. Add more water if necessary. Roll into a ball and place in the fridge to firm up.
Meanwhile add the salted butter to a large frying pan and place on a low heat until melted. Add the sliced leeks and peppers and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften, this should only take about four to five minutes. Then remove from the heat and add the crabmeat and breadcrumbs. Mix well, then add the lime zest and juice along with the chopped coriander and mix well.
Roll the pastry out in batches. You will need 12 circles, roughly 14cms or 5.5 inches in diameter and a half centimetre thick. Use a side plate to cut around to get nice evenly shaped discs of pastry. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of the mixture in the centre of each pastry circle, then brush around the edges with the beaten egg.
Close the pastry circles so that you have half moon shaped parcels filled with the crab mixture, and seal the edges with a fork so that they have a pretty sealed pattern. Brush the tops and edges with the remaining egg wash. Place on a baking sheet, lined with baking parchment and place in a preheated oven at 190oC for 30 minutes or until the parcels are golden brown and crisp.
Serve with lemon and dill, crème fraiche on the side and a lemon oil dressed salad.

diagnostic leaf analysis for stone fruit. 2. Seasonal changes in leat composition of peach
Changes in the nutrient-element composition of leaves of peach cvs. Golden Queen, Gaum6, and Halehaven were measured monthly during the 1971 -72 and 1972-73 seasons in New South Wales. For all cultivars, the rate of change of leaf composition was least during January and February. Thus leaf composition standards should be based on January-February samples and diagnostic sampling should be confined to this period where possible. Correction factors for adjusting the composition November, December and March samples back to January 31 levels were calculated from polynomials with time fitted to the leaf composition data.

A Jerusalem court on Sunday sentenced former Umm al-Fahm mayor Dr. Suleiman Aghbaria to a six-month suspended sentence and a fine of 15,000 NIS, for attacking a police officer and impeding another offiicer in the line of duty in a fight that broke out at the Mughrabi Gate in 2007.
Islamic Movement chief Sheikh Raed Salah is serving a jail sentence after he was convicted of participating in a riot and assaulting a police officer at the same demonstration. During Salah's sentencing, the court noted that Salah spat in the face of a policeman and told him, "You are racists and murderers, you have no respect."
There was a demonstration against construction work being done at the Mughrabi Gate in February 2007, and the demonstrators, Islamic movement members and residents of Jerusalem, fought with police. After the incident, Salah and Aghbaria were investigated and it was decided to hand down indictments.
The Mughrabi Gate is adjacent to the Temple Mount, which contains the Western Wall of the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem, the holiest site in Judaism, and the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam.
After his conviction, Raed Salah said that he did not recognize the prison sentence handed down to him by a Jerusalem court, but that he was not afraid to "be behind bars" for the sake of the al-Aqsa Mosque.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) – For years, some people have been trying to get the Washington Redskins to change their name because they say they find it offensive. Wednesday, those people earned an ally in the United States Patent and Trademark Office because it canceled the Redskins’ trademark registration, calling the football team’s name “disparaging to Native Americans.”
“We’re such a minority. We make up one percent of the population. People think that they can be offensive toward tribal members,” said Carlos Bullock of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas.
Today’s ruling will not force the Redskins to change the name of the team, but it does affect whether the team can make money on the merchandise they sell.
“Other people will be able to sell similar-looking products without the protection of the registered mark to help stop counterfeiting,” said patent attorney Randall Garteiser.
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s decision to cancel the Washington Redskins’ trademarks came after five Native Americans brought suit because they found the term “redskins” derogatory.
Garteiser says Pro Football Inc., the owner of those trademarks, will likely file an appeal.
“One of the issues on the appeal will be what is the relevant time frame of when the mark was considered disparaging. So, is it when it’s filed, which arguably seems like it should be, or is it some later date, and when does that stop?” he said.
The Washington Redskins’ trademarks were actually canceled once before in 1992. That decision was overturned on appeal. Now, the U.S. Patent Office has attempted to avoid a repeat of this by backing up their decision with substantial evidence.
