Happy World Sight Day!
Today is World Sight Day. The purpose of World Sight Day is to raise awareness for the global need to fight blindness. Did you know that, worldwide, over 1 billion people suffer from impaired vision or blindness, but all they need are glasses? They can’t afford glasses or there’s no eye doctor around to help. Imagine children who can’t see because they don’t have glasses. They may be labeled “slow” or dumb. They are at risk for doing poorly in school and having poor self-conf

Switzerland is the 12th largest trading partner of the United States and the 7th largest source of foreign direct investment. There is a nearly balanced exchange of goods and services amounting to over $100 billion annually, and Swiss companies employ almost half a million U.S. workers. With numbers like that, you might think that only big firms engage in transatlantic business – but actually, it’s small companies too, including start-ups you might not even have heard of.
In honor of Global Entrepreneurship Week, we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Blank, founder of the Brooklyn-based Toggle. We asked him about his company and how it’s fueling the Swiss-U.S. economic relationship:
Dan, what does your start-up do?
Toggle is a construction robotics company that is using digital fabrication to assemble rebar for reinforced concrete structures.
What is Toggle’s relationship to Switzerland?
Our connection to Switzerland is due to our close partnership with ABB for robotics and our friends at ETH Zurich who have demonstrated, through their research, the enormous potential for industrial robotics, automation and digital fabrication in commercial construction.
That sounds pretty cool!
It’s cool to be an entrepreneur because your job is to weave together so many different perspectives, areas of expertise and unexpected applications of technology within areas of opportunity or problems. And if you’re lucky you get to make some money while you do it!
This year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week is focusing on women & entrepreneurship – do you have any thoughts to share on that topic?
We’ve found that robotics for architecture, construction and digital fabrication is very popular among women and I have met women doing amazing work in their studies, research and work in companies and startups. Personally, I’ve been inspired by the women entrepreneurs in my family, particularly my sister who has made a big impact with her company The Sill.
Interested in entrepreneurship? Make sure to keep an eye out for #GES17 social media posts starting November 28 when the Global Entrepreneurship Summit kicks off in Hyderabad, India. U.S. Embassy Bern will be sending Sylke Hoehnel of SUN bioscience and we can’t wait to follow her experience!

Bisexual people have the highest risk of developing a mental illness, self-harming and considering suicide in comparison to lesbians, gay men and heterosexual people.
The LGBTIreland Report 2016, which is considered to be the largest study of LGBTI people in Ireland to date, found that 34% of participants had self-harmed, with 60% of these people saying that their self-harm was related to their LGBTI identity. Bisexual people were more likely to have self-harmed than lesbian/gay females and gay males, with 54.5% of bisexual people interviewed stating they had self-harmed at a point in their lives.
The report also found that 60% of LGBTI people had seriously thought of ending their lives, with almost half of these people considering it in the past year. 60% said that their suicidal thoughts were related to their LGBTI identity. Again, bisexual people were more likely to consider ending their own lives than lesbian/gay females and gay males, with 65.3% of bisexual people interviewed mentioning they had considered ending their life at one point. This is compared to 19.5% of gay men, and 37.4% of lesbians/gay women.
With figures so high, you’d think that this would be a difficult problem to ignore. Unfortunately in Ireland, bisexuality in general is still very much swept under the carpet. The stigma surrounding mental health issues is slowly but surely being broken down, but bisexuality is something that people still fail to understand. To tackle the problem of poor mental health in bisexual people, we need to look into why it’s happening in the first place. Why are bisexual people so much more prone to developing a mental illness, self-harming or attempting suicide? Sharon Nolan, Galway based Bi+ Ireland co-ordinator, says that there are many different factors contributing to this,
“The lack of acceptance within both gay and straight spaces for bi+ people [causes poor mental health]. Questioning the validity of their identity, slut-shaming, questioning their commitment abilities, and questioning the sheer existence of us. This leads to rejection from social spaces and internalised biphobia. The pressures of feeling that you always need to educate or defend your identity is also damaging for your mental health.”
I carried out a survey on 100 people who identified as bisexual, to see what their experiences were with biphobia, bi-erasure and mental health difficulties. The findings were as follows:
93% said they had experienced difficulties with their mental health
50% had been diagnosed with a mental illness
79% said they had experienced biphobia or bi-erasure
54% said that biphobia or bi-erasure had contributed to their mental health issues
67% had self-harmed
28% had attempted suicide
As Sharon mentioned, biphobia and bi-erasure are contributing factors to the poor mental health of bisexual people, adding to the shocking statistics above. Biphobia is the dislike or prejudice against bisexual people, and Matthew Palliser-Kehoe, a 20-year-old bisexual man from Cork says that his experience of biphobia seems to stem people being unwilling to understand what bisexuality is. The BESS (Business Economics and Social Studies) student says that there is a significant difference between homophobia and biphobia,
“There seems to be a large proportion of members of the LGBT community, along with the wider population, that are unwilling to even recognize bisexuality as a thing that exists. While homophobia is undoubtedly alive and well, there is an underlying acceptance that homosexuality exists. This contrasts with biphobia, where the most painful and most common encounter of biphobia is the denial or refusal to accept the existence of bisexuality in the first place.”
Ellen Reid-Buckley, a 23-year-old queer woman from Limerick, says that biphobia has a lot to do with erasure, “I think marriage equality hit home in assimilation culture for cis gay men especially, but cis lesbian women also gained from that representation. Bi+ and trans voices didn’t get a word in edgeways.”
Ellen, who recently graduated from UCC with a Masters in English (Irish Writing and Film) has experienced biphobia both from inside of the LGBT community and from heterosexual people. One of the more recent incidents was being called “blasphemous” by a lesbian at Dublin Pride for having a boyfriend. She has found that some members of the lesbian community have been “very sceptical or almost enraged” by the thought of a bisexual woman. However she says she most commonly experiences biphobia from cisgender straight men,
“I have been asked by many cis men how many women I’ve slept with, solicited for threesomes by strangers on Tinder because I had a bio that stated I was queer, and even filmed in nightclubs kissing women.”
Nicole* is one of many bisexual people who has suffered badly with mental health issues; she has struggled with eating disorders, self-harm and suicide attempts in the past. In 2011 when Nicole* was still in secondary school, a girl named “Layla” added her and other people in her year on Facebook. She was a blonde haired, blue eyed American girl, and instantly she zoned in on Nicole*. What Nicole* did not realise was that it was a fake account,
“After about three weeks of a joke that everyone except me was in on, Layla told me that she liked me. And I melted, I felt excited and attracted to her too. So I told her I had always felt this way toward girls, and she said that it was okay to like girls and try it out, and that we could try it together. The next day, Layla fell off the face of the earth.”
The next few days in school were hell for Nicole*, who was called a “dyke” by classmates who refused to get changed in the same room as her for PE. The next year she met her first boyfriend, and everyone forgot about her and Layla. But Nicole* never forgot,
“I didn’t ‘look or act gay’ anymore so I sailed through school relatively unscathed. The flip side of straight passing is that I lost all sense of self and identity, and fell quickly into drugs and alcohol after school.”
Nicole* also found it difficult to come out to her family, who do not believe in bisexuality, “They think its greed or confusion, but they all voted yes to marriage equality. They’re not homophobic, they love gay people but the bisexuality thing doesn’t make sense to them.”
If we aren’t going to acknowledge that bisexual people exist, it makes tackling the bigger problems like poor bisexual mental health even more difficult. We have to take it right back to the basics and examine the way we think and talk about bisexual people. Ireland can be a very one-track mind type of nation, where there is a tendency to think in binaries because that’s all we know. But with statistics as high as these, something has got to change. Sexuality is a spectrum, and there is so much more to it than simply being straight or gay.
Nicole’s* name has been changed to protect her identity

In recent years, the vegetarian and vegan Gold Coast dining scene has exploded. Aside from that, provenance, food education, sustainability, and healthier eating practices are all gaining popularity. Gone are the days when ordering a vegetarian meal meant getting a plate of boring old green salad and steamed veggies. These days, you’ve got so many more options to choose from! Think beyond the classic tofu and tempeh. Now you can find vegan, “Chinese-style,” paleo, and even lactose-free meals to suit your taste buds. The world of vegetarian cuisine has truly expanded!
The best vegan and vegetarian dining on the Gold Coast is Blendlove, I Like Ramen, Greenhouse Canteen, Giri Kana Cafe, Kuan Yin Tea House, Goodness Gracias, Lord of the Fries, and Govindas Pure Vegetarian.
The best vegetarian restaurants on the Gold Coast teach us the value of using the highest-quality, locally sourced ingredients, inventive food pairings, and superior cooking methods. Here is a list of the Gold Coast restaurants that serve vegetarian and vegan food.
Blendlove is a popular café in Southport, Gold Coast. It’s all thanks to its delicious and nutritious plant-based cuisine. Their menu is entirely plant-based. Plus, it’s free from gluten, refined sugars, and preservatives.
They offer a range of locally sourced, organic dishes. Among those are breakfast and smoothie bowls, salads, wraps, and raw desserts. Two of the most popular dishes at Blendlove are the Acai Bowl and Green Goodness Bowl. Try them when you swing by.
In addition, the café offers a range of specialty drinks. Check out their organic coffee, herbal teas, and house-made nut milks. For those with a sweet tooth, Blendlove has a selection of raw desserts. The Raw Caramel Slice, made with dates, cashews, coconut oil, and cacao is among the must-try.
Blendlove’s welcoming and relaxing atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating options is adorned with plants and artwork. This creates a calming and inviting space for dining and socializing. The café prioritizes sustainability by using biodegradable packaging and composting food waste. They also support local farmers and suppliers with sustainable and ethical practices. Blendlove is open from 7 AM to 3 PM beginning from Monday to Saturday and from 8 AM – 3 PM on Sundays.
I Like Ramen
I Like Ramen is the first-ever ramen store that sells 100% plant-based ramen in Australia. It makes this restaurant a fantastic option for vegan and vegetarian diners looking for a delicious and satisfying meal on the Gold Coast. The restaurant’s Japanese-inspired dishes are flavorful and comforting, with plenty of options to choose from. They also serve delicious fares like burgers, baos, and our personal favourites, kimchi potatoes, and panko-crusted mushrooms.
Moreover, they’ve developed ramen dishes that are on par with (if not better than) any others you’ll try. Not to mention their range of Japanese-inspired drinks, such as sake and matcha tea, and a selection of beers and wines.
The restaurant is open from 5 PM – 9 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On Fridays, it stays open until late; on weekends, it opens at 11:30 am and closes late. The kitchen closes at 9 pm, and the bar closes at 10 pm. Check the events page for Tuesday openings.
Greenhouse Canteen, one of the original vegan restaurants on the Gold Coast, has an excellent menu. They have a botanical bar where you can order a variety of vegan cocktails, beer, or wine, and the atmosphere is always upbeat. Most people try the Eggplant Moussaka and the Jackfruit Enchiladas, so why not try it too? Additionally, Greenhouse Canteen offers takeaway packs similar to Kentucky Fried Jackfruit if you prefer to eat in.
From Tuesday to Sunday, Greenhouse Canteen serves dinner from 5 pm. To make reservations or view their menu, please visit the following page: https://www.greenhousecanteen.com/miami.
Giri Kana Cafe
Looking for delicious healthy vegan and vegetarian dining in the Northern area of the Gold Coast? Don’t lose hope; the Giri Kana Café is still open. Maha (Maryanne) had managed to bring her fortune of philosophy and vegetarian cuisine to Giri Kana, which means “food from goodness.”
This welcoming café beneath the H2O building welcomes us as a healthy haven. It is among the best entirely vegetarian restaurants on the Gold Coast with vegan options and gluten-free. Aside from that, they also offer excellent organic coffee.
The cafe serves organic coffee during specific hours, on weekdays from 7 AM to 4 PM & 7 AM to 3 PM on weekends. Additionally, last orders for coffee, juices, smoothies, burgers, and kofta pockets are taken 30 minutes before closing time.
On the other hand, the menu at Giri Kana Cafe offers a wide range of dishes, including breakfast bowls, salads, wraps, and mains, with vegan and gluten-free options available. Some of their popular dishes include the green bowl, which features quinoa, avocado, and roasted vegetables, and the veggie burger, made with a homemade patty and served with sweet potato fries.
Kuan Yin Tea House
Kuan Yin Tea House is among the Gold Coast’s only three Chinese-style vegetarian restaurants. The restaurant serves vegetarians in Southport, and it is a straightforward café with beige walls, a linoleum floor, and decorative panels of bamboo wallpaper.
However, being modest in terms of price and décor does not imply a lack of options. The menu is divided up into rice sets, snacks, “meat” and noodle dishes, and soups, almost all of which are priced under $10.
On the other hand, drinks are showcased separately; black and green teas, milk teas, Taiwanese specialty teas, and fresh juices are listed on two pages. The size and appearance of each dish are accurately depicted in the menu photos at Kuan Yin. Additionally, it is clearly indicated (in pink) which cuisines are suitable for vegans, gluten-free, and whether they contain dairy or eggs.
Goodness Gracias serves plant-based Mexican food in a lively Palm Beach setting. Moreover, it has long been an absolute vegan favourite on the Gold Coast. The eatery is a popular spot for brunch, lunch, to dinner, as well as for drinks with friends in the evening. You can choose from mouth-watering dishes like burritos, tacos, nachos, and a variety of delectable sides and salads whether you eat in or take out.
In addition, Goodness Gracias is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious and unique Mexican cuisine on the Gold Coast. With its commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients and its range of vegan and vegetarian options, it’s no wonder why it’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Lord of the Fries
If there’s one thing we can support, it’s a fast-food restaurant that serves mainly potatoes. All of the vegan fries at Lord of the Fries are being sold out. Lord of the Fries offers Onion Rings (Lord of the Rings), Veggie Burgers, Vegetarian Hot Dogs, and Vegetarian Nuggets in addition to those crispy, delicious gifts from God. Everything is Halal and kosher, too. You’ll become a huge fan after just one bite, no contest.
Govindas Pure Vegetarian
Govindas is a smaller and more intimate restaurant than Cardamom Pod. Ideal for those looking for a more hurried meal.
Although the dishes on display are the only options available, they are all delicious, and the portions are large. You pay for the quantity of food you order; for instance, a meal with rice and two dishes cost about $12 as of this writing, while it costs $14 for three dishes. Check out their pricing at https://govindas.net.au/#menu.
Moreover, Govinda’s meals don’t contain eggs, are vegetarian, don’t contain garlic and onions, as well as being certified organic and pesticide-free. The vegetarian curry is delectable, the salad with grated beetroot, garbanzo beans, prunes, and sunflower seeds is crunchy and fresh, and the samosas are magnanimous in size and stuffed with vegetables.
However, the kofta balls in a creamy sauce with a tomato base stand out as our favourite dish. It’s incredible! There is also a delectable selection of desserts available.
In addition, Govindas provides catering services for functions and events. With their expertise in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, they offer a delightful culinary experience for gatherings of all sizes. For optimal service, it is recommended to provide a notice of 5-7 days in advance. While they strive to accommodate requests with shorter notice, they cannot guarantee availability.

About Cozumel Dive Trips
Cozumel the Island
Check out our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGJOpNt5sMo
Cozumel is Mexico’s original Caribbean playground. The Mayans, its first inhabitants, considered it a sacred shrine and referred to it as “Ah-Cuzamil-Peten”, meaning “Island of the Swallows.” At the height of the Mayan civilization, woman, at least once during their lifetime, would make the 12-mile journey by boat from the mainland to worship “Ixchel”, the goddess of fertility. Today, at more than 40 sites around the island, archaeologists still uncover small dolls that were offered in sacrifice during the fertility ritual.
World War II put Cozumel on the map. The U.S. built an air base for planes hunting U-boats in the mid-Atlantic. Drawn by the clear waters, frogmen came to train and returned home with stories of magnificent underwater vistas. Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau even proclaimed Cozumel to be one of the finest diving sites in the world.
Life on the Island is relaxed, somewhat akin to a ski resort, only the climate is tropical and the sport is scuba diving. Cutoffs and tank tops seem to be as dressy as anyone ever gets, except for the nicer restaurants, where a higher level of casual is expected.
There are two very different kinds of beaches on Cozumel. One type, found on the west coast of the island facing the Mexican mainland, offers stretches of golden sand, often with all the amenities of a beach club. On the east side facing out in the Caribbean Sea, quiet beaches alternate with rocky shores along the vast expanses of the solitary coast. The waters on the more populous west side are generally calm, while the roaring surf on the east creates treacherous breakers and undertows.
Things to do
The little town of San Miguel offers a variety of gift shops, bars, restaurants and interesting niches to explore. There is a world class museum on the beach road and just south of town is an archaeological park with models of Mayan, Olmec, and Toltec ancient sculptures.
Though not Chitzen-Itza, the island is dotted with many small, interesting remnants of Mayan culture. A major excavation is in San Gervasio which covers about 10 acres situated in enchanting jungle surroundings. Accessible by rental car, moto, or taxi, San Gervasio best be enjoyed with a self guiding tour map available in town.
The Celarain Light-house and Wildlife Reserve, located at the most southern tip of the island, is a great adventure. A shuttle takes you the final stretch from the reserve camp (US$10/person donation). It is a bumpy ride and quite a climb to the top of the light-house(127 steps), but well worth the trouble as the view is spectacular. It is a great place to spend an afternoon and see some extraordinary birds, turtles and other wildlife of the island. It is a good idea to purchase an island map before preceding on a venture like this.

My Special One is Greg Hoy's own challenge to himself: can a man isolate himself for 48 hours in San Francisco and make a fun, listenable rock and roll record that doesn't sound rushed? The short answer is yes, yes he can.The longer answer requires more background on Hoy. My Special One is the newest addition to more than 30 of his recordings, including numbers with Steve Albini, John Vanderslice and Glenn Branca's Symphony for 100 Guitars. Hoy's set-up is simple: steady drumming first, guitar and bass second. He plays all three himself then mixes them via laptop. He's no stranger to the modern trappings of the one-man band or being a part of an orchestral movement. So when Hoy decided on a whim to limit his musical creativity and technical abilities to a two-day span, did he think he could do it? Oh, yes.
My Special One drips with confidence for its entire less-than 15 minutes. The steady drumming anchors the sublime bass and guitar, which sound like they could've been taken directly from a Pixies album. There're forces of 90s alternative rock and power-pop at work here, especially in the awesomely self-deprecating "Mixtape,” when Hoy yelps out lyrics like "I crank the punk rock and maybe hip-hop/get my metal on, maybe I'm too far gone" over excited drumming and nervous guitar chords. It's a simple but fun song that carries with it all the staples of the EP: consistent drumming, Hoy's magnetic yelp and a knack toward earnest, if unpolished, rock. If it sounds like I'm emphasizing the drumming, it's because he emphasizes it himself.
Hoy never gets bored on the album, which is always a sign of a devoted artist, even if he does wear his influences on his sleeve. The opening bass line in "My Special One" imitates The Spencer Davis Group's canonical "Gimme Some Lovin'" and Hoy Pixiesfies himself on the troubled closer "Lips Like Heaven.” Heck, there's even a song called "I'm Not Sorry Uncle Albert" that pays tribute to Paul McCartney, and not just in the title. My Special One is a fun listen, an easy one, and packs enough punch to convert newcomers to Hoy's sound. If he sounds this good with only two days to work with, I'm interested to hear a project by him after a full year of making music.
We are dedicated to informing the public about the different types of independent music that is available for your listening pleasure as well as giving the artist a professional critique from a seasoned music geek. We critique a wide variety of niche genres like experimental, IDM, electronic, ambient, shoegaze and much more.

If you’ve been into handsets, especially Android-based, then you’ll have heard of the manufacturer Xiaomi. Xiaomi is a Chinese manufacturer that was founded back in 2010 but only recently started to bring their devices outside of China to resellers in other parts of the world such as India. One of their latest devices is known as the Redmi 2, a midrange handset that released into markets but didn’t quite hit the mark Xiaomi was hoping for in areas like India. For the price of the smartphone, the competition was stiff which the Chinese OEM decided to release a more enhanced version of the smartphone, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime. Today we’re learning that the smartphone has been listed on Amazon for India, but information and details are a still scarce on when consumers will actually be able to purchase the device.
First of all, if you’re unfamiliar with the Xiaomi Redmi 2, this smartphone contains a 4.7-inch HD display with a resolution of 1280×720. Cracking open the handset, you’ll find that the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is running a Qualcomm SnapDragon 410 quad-core 1.2GHz processor with Adreno 306 as its GPU. Located on the rear of this handset is an 8-megapixel camera while the front face holds a 2-megapixel camera. Running off a 2200mAH lithium-polymer battery, it’s a bit of a surprise that the operating system is currently running Android 4.4.4 KitKat rather than jumping onto the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS. Lastly, there is 1 GB of RAM and only 8 GB of internal storage.
Now when it comes to the enhanced version of this handset, known as the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime, most of the specifications are the exact same. The only difference comes with the RAM and internal storage of the smartphone. Instead of 1GB of RAM, consumers will be receiving 2GB of RAM while the storage has been bumped up from 8GB to 16GB. By increasing the RAM and internal storage, Xiaomi will be able to hold up against some of the other smartphones priced similarly.
As of right now, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime was discovered as a listing for India’s Amazon domain where details on availability and pricing are unavailable. Currently, only a list of specifications is given for the handset so we’re forced into waiting for Xiaomi to make an official release announcement. Because Xiaomi is starting to breach into other markets around the world, it would be interesting to see just how well the Prime edition of the handset will do compared to other devices within the same price range.

Recently, a couple of things have gotten me thinking about this delicate balance between my need for deep inner silence/listening-silence, uninterrupted focused writing time, play-with-others, and the nourishment of a larger community. I think that most of us move back and forth along a continuum of how much alone time versus with-others time we need. Of course, some people are temperamentally more social than others; some of us move through our days and lives with more outward energy than others.
My thought today is that for writers, the balancing act poses special challenges. We spend so much of our working time interacting only with the story inside our heads and whatever medium we’re using to get the words out. This isn’t reflective listen-silence time, but it is alone time. So when we emerge from a work session, particularly a long, emotionally draining session, we tend to grab for either frantically-social time (making up time with spouse or kids included) or else dodo-brain escape time (in which who knows or cares if there are other people around, we’re in spin-down zone-out mode).
It’s as if we’ve drained one particular creative energy tank so dry that we’re utterly unbalanced. I get the image of a donkey laden with two water barrels, listing faaar to one side and wandering off the track. It’s hard enough under normal circumstances to pause and ask what we really need, what our inner selves thirst for. When we’re in that peculiar state of being wrought-up and wrung-out, it’s even harder.
But what I think is this: I do better when I pay attention to what nourishes me, especially those parts of me, those areas of my life, that get put on hold all too often. I need to write — I love to write! but I also need time to get quiet inside. Time to listen deeply to Spirit, inner and outer. And I do even better when some of this time is in community.
I also need time in which I feel connected to others. To my immediate family, to my dear friends, to my colleagues, to kindred-spirits. I need face-to-face time. I need touch. I need to feel a part of a greater whole, and that I and we are making the world a better place. If I spend all my time here, I end up feeling just as drained as if I spent none. The trick is keeping it all in fluid balance.

Kristen Stewart and St. Vincent have been hitting the romance headlines these past few months after they were spotted together. Recently, new reports say that that the former girlfriend of Robert Pattinson has already ended her short-lived romance with Cara Delevigne’s former ladylove to be with Stella Maxwell.
Photos of Stewart together with Maxwell surfaced on the internet lately, which sparked reports that the two might be dating. Well, a PEOPLE source has confirmed that these speculations are true.
“When Kristen filmed in Savannah, she spent several days together with Stella, who came to visit her,” another insider told PEOPLE. “She was with Kristen on the set most days and seemed to have fun.”
The report added that Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell really looked like they are enjoying each other’s company. There were even claims saying the “Equals” actress and the Victoria’s Secret model get along very well together.
Stewart and Maxwell are even allegedly living together in Los Angeles, the same source stated. The rumored couple was first seen together in a Met Gala afterparty.
In other news, Stewart is said to be making a new “Twilight” movie with Robert Pattinson. Speculations have it that the former lovebirds will soon be reuniting in a new movie.
Other rumors also suggest that the former “Twilight” stars are cheating on St. Vincent and FKA Twigs as they were reportedly secretly seeing each other. However, up until now, both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are yet to comment on these reports.

This is music from our band, Tag, recorded in 1986. I was the keyboard player and primary composer of the band. The core members of Tag met through an ad in the paper for a jam session at someone's house, and after the session, we decided to form a band. Our mighty sax player joined us later. All of us shared a great love for bands like the YellowJackets, Jeff Lorber, and Pat Metheny Group—the genre called jazz fusion.
We played locally in small venues in and around the silicon valley area of Northern California, mixing our originals with a number of fusion-ish cover tunes. By far the most steady gig we had was weekly at the Monterey Whaling Company in Mountain View, a restaurant which no longer exists. They had a cozy fireside lounge which attracted a small but appreciative crowd of music lovers each weekend. It was here that we eventually met Dale, a rich entrepreneur who enjoyed our music and who graciously provided the funding for us to make our one and only album, on vinyl. The album was sold locally at Tower Records, and was played on KBLX for a brief time, but eventually the band fell apart due to lack of gigs. It's always hard to survive as an instrumentalist band, especially in the jazz fusion genre. But we had fun while it lasted, and I have fond memories of the guys in the band. Years later, our bass player, Earl DeWitt, created a CD from the vinyl album, which is good because nobody has turntables anymore, including me. And you can't post vinyl to the internet. I hope you enjoy this somewhat dated-sounding but still good music. Thanks for listening.
This is my personal favorite, probably the best song I've ever written. The title refers more to a future home in the heavens than an earthly home, but whatever. Sax player Manny Melchor really takes off on this one. This piece recently won Track of the Day on GarageBand.com.
Our bass player, Earl DeWitt, started a riff and I found a melody that really worked. The bridge is weird but guitar player Pat Carrol's grungy solo really makes the piece.
The sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano was the inspiration for this piece. The recording engineer added the canned bird sounds for us.
When Tag first met, we jammed on the chord progression in this piece. It was always one of our favorites to perform. It sounded dark, thus the name.
A local music critic for the San Jose Mercury News remarked: "While not exactly a samba, this piece is fun...". Blush, we didn't know a samba from a waltz, really.
The introduction of this piece was very much inspired by the amazingly talented Tom Canning, keyboard player for most of Al Jarreau's albums. Tom remains to this day as one of my favorite pop musicians. Of course he doesn't know who I am, but I love him.

After a marriage that lasted only about two years, they were dominated by “happy romantic photos” published on social media, Egyptian media confirmed the news of the separation of Egyptian businessman Ahmed Abu Hashima from artist Yasmine Sabry, in an atmosphere described as “calm” “.
The news, which was not officially announced by Abu Hashima or Sabri, aroused the interest of the media and social networking sites, which were filled with various comments about the incident.
Abu Hashima celebrated his marriage to Yasmine, in April 2020, in a family atmosphere, in the presence of members of the two families, at the beginning of the outbreak of the “Corona” epidemic.
Abu Hashima issued a statement at the time in which he said: “In appreciation for the love of people and those who care for us, we are pleased to announce our marriage contract in a family atmosphere with full commitment on our part to all health measures and instructions. ”
Over the past two years, “Abu Hashima” and “Yasmine” have appeared together on several occasions, the most recent of which was the celebration of this year together, and Yasmine posted their photos through her account on the “Instagram” website.
In April last year, they celebrated the anniversary of their marriage, and Yasmine Sabry posted their photos on her Twitter account and made the comment: “Happy first year, my love.”
The duo has been exposed to successive waves of rumors of their separation over the past two years, and these rumors started in early 2020, and a quick response to these rumors, but Sabri last confirmed the news of the divorce, and said in press releases: “Everything is a division and a share, and thank God the separation. It was done quietly, and I respect Abu Hashima.” The two deleted their photos from their accounts on social media.
Yasmine Sabry had already started her artistic career as a model in advertising, before participating with Moez Masoud in the “Steps of the Devil” program, and playing the role of “Rasha”, the heroine of the program, and in 2015 she participated in the series “Chess”, then the series “Al Ostoura” with Muhammad Ramadan as well. She appeared in the series “My Story” and “Second Chance” before she was recently absent from the artistic scene, which forced followers to consider the decision of her separation from Abu Hashima until the period of abstinence in recent months.
Abu Hashima posted a comment about his official account on the “Instagram” application, after publishing news of the separation, in which he said: “I never lose, either I win or I learn,” a statement by “Nelson Mandela.”
Sabri is expected to return to the artistic scene in the coming period through the movie “Saqr Al-Mahrousa” in front of the star Ahmed Ezz, in addition to the series “Al-Shader.” The series consists of 15 episodes, in which Yasmine Sabry presents the role of a popular girl for the first time.
Some stories of love and separation between artists and celebrities in Egypt often begin with rumors and certainly end officially. Similar to the story of the association between artist Yasmine Abdel Aziz and artist Ahmed Al-Awadi, and Amr Youssef’s commitment to Syrian artist Kinda Alloush in 2016.
And in October of 2018, the artist, Ahmed Flux, announced on his Facebook page his commitment to the artist Hana Shiha, after they categorically denied the existence of any emotional relationship between them, but their marriage did not last long , as we announced They were divorced in July 2019.
Abu Hashima previously married Lebanese artist Haifa Wehbe in 2009, and their marriage and their divorce after several years of marriage have occupied public opinion in Egypt and the Arab world.
Art critic Muhammad Refaat, author of the book “Desserts of Love … The most beautiful love stories between celebrities,” attributes the postponement of the official announcement of the association or separation between celebrities to the fact that they do not have certain arrangements with marriage related, did not complete. , most of whom are familial, “and note that” most of them have Sons from their previous marriages, and they want to look after their children before they complete the marriage, and determine their feelings towards each other, in addition to caring for their families wait. ‘approval of the marriage or not, or other decisions related to the continuation of the association. He explained in statements to Asharq Al-Awsat that “the widespread dissemination of news of emotional relationships between artists or celebrities on news sites and (social media) contributes to accelerating the decision to marry, which has a negative impact on married life. , which often ends in divorce. ” Refaat believes that “artists are ordinary citizens who have the right to choose their partners with the greatest ease, but fame compels them to exercise caution and silence, or exile if necessary.”
“The marriage is written on the divorce paper in the artistic community in Egypt,” a statement believed by the author of the book “The Stories of Love”, which confirms and says: “The cases of long-term marriages of artists or celebrities are very rare, and they are an exception, not a rule, and the reasons for separation are diverse. ”
The story of the separation of Abu Hashima and Sabri has occupied Egyptian public opinion in recent hours, and their news was at the top of the list of most read on most local sites in Egypt, and the communication sites were in trend.
Egyptians’ interest in news about marriage and divorce of artists has been a regular occurrence since the 1940s, according to Refaat, who believes that social networking sites, satellite channels and the short duration of marriage are among the most prominent differences . between the time of the old and modern generation artists.

Before today, the only thing that had really been seen from the Friday the 13th reboot was a single grainy image, but for a select group of horror buffs at Comic Con, this is no longer the case. Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form joined the cast onstage and unveiled the first ever trailer for the film, as well as the teaser poster (seen right thanks to Latino Review, click over to see high resolution).
The teaser trailer (Update: which is now available online on YouTube) begins with a shot of Camp Crystal Lake. Two teens, a boyfriend and girlfriend, enter Jason Vorhees’ house and see some strange looking hair sticking out of a hole in the wall. The male reaches in and grabs ahold of it, revealing a decapitated human head. They scream, and the door to the room they’re in begins to shake. Cue the classic theme music. The boyfriend slowly kneels down to look under the door, and just as his face starts to get close, a machete shoots up under the floor near his head. Terrified, he tries to stand up but the machete gets shoved through again and slices through his hand. The girlfriend grabs ahold of her boyfriend and tries to save him, but the floor collapses and he gets pulled through.
The trailer then goes into montage mode, showing various quick clips of action, such as a person being impaled against poles on a car, a girl swimming in a lake, Jason holding a hockey mask in front of him, Jason’s arms bursting through a window and pulling in a guy from outside, and finally, a shot of Jason charging at the camera and swinging his machete at it with incredible brute force.
After showing the trailer, the panel opened up to a Q&A session, which in addition to my one-on-one interview with the producers, yielded some very interesting pieces of information.
When asked about why this reboot introduces Jason in full with the hockey mask instead of sticking strictly to the first film, the producers explained that they did it for believability purposes, and that when it comes right down to it, “You want to see Jason Vorhees killing people.” They also assured audiences, “You do see Pamela [Vorhees] in the movie.”
The film is planned on being heavily rooted in reality, keeping away from the supernatural elements of the previous movies. Part of this applies to the Jason character, altering the way he operates. “He doesn’t teleport. He doesn’t walk slow. Did you see the teaser? At the end he’s coming hard. It’s a different type of Jason. You don’t see a character running full speed, look back, and [Jason’s] just walking. And then they turn a corner, and [Jason’s] right there. We did away with all that. And that makes sense in the movie. This is a guy who lives in the wilderness, and has to kill with ease, so he has to be good with weapons. You know, killing people, killing food, it’s all the same trip.”
The movie will also cover a lot of ground on the series, taking care of the basic story outline of films one through four in the franchise. It will show the transition of the sack to the hockey mask, and yes, how he gets that mask will be a part of it. Jason’s childhood is explored briefly, but it’s not an origin film.
In terms of the likelihood of having sequels, the producers said they would certainly be interested based on the success of this one, but they didn’t make this with the intention of starting a new franchise. “The ending feels very finite. The movie stands on its own.”
As much as I prepared myself for the worst, I have to admit, this appears to be a pretty competent remake based on the trailer. If you actually go back and look at even the early Friday the 13th movies, none of them are really that amazing, so it’s not like they have a whole lot to live up to. As long as they’re able to rack up the scares and horrifically violent deaths (plus a little nudity for the kids), then I can see this amounting to a fun time at the movies. Really, that’s as much as you could and should be hoping for.Cool Posts From Around the Web:

Memorial Health doctor attributes low vaccination rates as part of reason schools are returning to virtual learning
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Several school districts in the Coastal Empire forced to return to virtual learning this week due to the coronavirus.
Local health officials we spoke with say part of that reason is low vaccination within children that are eligible.
Here’s the latest look at how many children and teens have received at least one dose in Georgia. Over 15 percent for ages 5 to 9, just over 37 percent for 10 to 14 year-olds and 52 percent for ages 15 to 19.
Local health leader say those low vaccination numbers are contributing to school closures. WTOC talked to Memorial’s pediatric disease specialist Thursday.
Dr. Stephen Thacker says with prior resurgences of COVID-19 cases and with the current one, we have learned the ways to keep children in school and learning in a safe environment.
Dr. Thacker says it all comes down to using the tools we have. He reminds parents to consider getting their children vaccinated and boosted, if eligible. He says continuing to wear their masks in the school buildings and even when they’re out and about around people whose vaccination status they don’t know can be the difference between the schools staying open or having to go virtual.
Right now, Dr. Thacker says Memorial has three pediatric patients who have COVID-19.
“I think we’re seeing the consequences of some under vaccination in classroom environments right now locally with classrooms going all virtual, some schools in the region going all virtual because we just didn’t get enough folks vaccinated to keep everyone protected,” Dr. Thacker said.
Dr. Thacker stresses that there are places people can take their children, ages 5 and up, to get vaccinated.
“For 5 and up we’ve got access to the vaccine now and it’s both safe and effective and you’ve got access points to get it. Our children’s hospital continues to have a family center, great experience for those families that want to bring their child to a very kid-friendly environment to get the vaccine happening every Thursday afternoon starting at 3:30.”
We also checked in with St. Joseph’s/Candler. They say they have no pediatric COVID-19 cases right now. They say they are continuing to see an increase in positive cases and that the admissions to the hospital are growing, but they are seeing far fewer critically ill patients.

Lester and I recently watched a documentary on the prevalence and impact of sugar on our American diet. It was eye opening and caused us to truly reflect on how much of the foods we eat regularly, contain sugar. It also was the catalyst we needed to break some routines derailing our health and wellness goals in recent months.
Since watching that documentary, we've made the following adjustments when it comes to eating throughout the day:
making a conscious effort to minimize the amount of processed foods we consume, opting instead for whole, fresh foods as frequently as possible
being more present when we're eating rather than rushing through meals
noticing how frequently the taste profile in our mouth is sweet vs. salty, sour, bitter, essentially, how often are we giving into our "sugar addiction"
observing the stories, reasons and emotions involved with our food choices
trying to avoid the "late night, munching mindlessly in front of the TV" routine
None of the changes above have to do with a specific diet or restrictions on what to eat and instead are geared around being more mindful about what we are eating, how we are eating, when and why (what is triggering us to eat).
Our goal is to make this our new normal as it has been in the past but it is a reminder that life's twists and turns will bring disruption to healthy habits. What is important in those instances is realizing something has shifted and with self-compassion, making your way back to a better place.
As we begin to prepare for a seasonal change from Summer to Fall, it's a good time to take stock and ask yourself...
How are you feeling about your relationship with food right now?
How many times during the day are you reaching for something sweet and what is really triggering that craving?
What small tweaks can you make in order to set yourself up for healthier, less processed meals?
.....just some food for thought 😉.

James Cameron announces 4 'Avatar' sequels
Director James Cameron Thursday announced plans to make four sequels to his 2009 sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar," according to reports from CinemaCon.
The "Titanic" director said the first film should hit theaters by Christmas 2018.
The four entries in the "Avatar" universe will be standalone films that will combine to make a "complete saga," Cameron told CinemaCon attendees (via Variety).
"It's going to be a true epic saga that's told in this rich and complex world," Cameron was quoted by The Verge.
The original "Avatar" is the highest grossing film of all time raking in $2.788 billion worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
The Hollywood Reporternoted the movies would be filmed concurrently with releases scheduled for 2018 for the first sequel then 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the next three.
Avatar 2 is currently in pre-production, per IMDB. The film reunites at least four actors from the original cast:Zoe Saldana,Sigourney Weaver,Sam Worthington, andStephen Lang.
Cameron went on to insist the films would be worth the wait, continuing, "I've been working with the top four screenwriters and designers in the world to design the world of Avatar going forward. The environments, new cultures... From what I'm seeing, the art on the wall... in pure imagination is just beyond the first film. I'm speechless."
Avatar 3 is pegged for release in 2020, with the fourth and fifth instalments following in 2022 and 2023.
Meanwhile, Cameron also used his speech to underline his stance on proposed home streaming movie service The Screening Room, which would allow fans to watch new films on TV as soon as they are released in theatres.
"Our jobs as filmmakers is to keep making films on screen," he began. "We'll continue to make this industry the greatest show on earth. My producer Jon Landau and I are committed to the theatre experience. Despite what the folks at The Screening Room say, I think movies need to be offered in the theatre on opening day."
The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has also spoken out against the proposal - the brainchild of Napster founder Sean Parker and his business partner Prem Akkaraju - while Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, and J.J. Abrams have all endorsed the business venture, claiming The Screening Room could help swell overall revenues by targeting movie watchers who don't regularly go to cinemas to watch new releases.

Media in the Online Age
How the digital revolution is changing consumer behaviour
Seven key changes in consumer behaviour
- Customers no longer compare companies only with competitors
Your customers compare your performance with their insurance company, their supermarket, their holiday company. If one company exceeds the customer’s benchmark of ‘what good looks like’, they will expect the same from you.
- Customers are less tolerant
Customers have become faster to complain and harder to satisfy, as evidenced by increasing complaint levels and customer satisfaction dropping across the board. Research shows the importance customers place on ease of service, in particular.
- Customer-to-customer dialogue has grown
Social media and customer forums have huge potential both to build and to destroy brands. Customers are led by the opinions of their ‘friends’ or ‘followers’, corroborated by ‘likes’ and testimonials. The reputation of the company is shaken or strengthened accordingly.
- Customers are less loyal
Customers will no longer accept perceived overpricing or poor standards of customer service, and are open to switching provider. They want value for money, not just cheap goods and services – they demand quality and are willing to pay for it.
- Customers no longer accept branding and marketing from organisations
There’s widespread distrust of mainstream information channels, plus strong legislation against direct marketing and a growing technical ability to screen out advertising messages. Opinions and commercial relationships are formed elsewhere.
- Customers are more informed
Digital technology has given consumers enhanced knowledge of products and services. The company does not have the monopoly on product knowledge: information and opinions on which to base decisions are a click away.
- All customers are becoming multichannel users
Customers – not businesses – decide which communication methods will be most used. If the channel proposed by businesses is suitable for the type of interaction, then it will succeed; otherwise, it will fail.
And check out this article from The Guardian:

In one of my recent blog posts “Become a Discovery Ninja” I set out my workflow for responding to discovery requests. The most important rule of my workflow is to respond to the discovery requests within 48 hours of receiving them. I’ve had several attorneys ask me how I can do this so quickly in light of most attorneys’ hectic schedules, including being in trial, responding to ex parte motions (or regular motions for that matter), responding to motions for summary judgment, morning appearances, etc.
It is my belief that 95 percent of the time trial attorneys can meet (and likely exceed) the 48-hour response rule. Keep in mind I do not believe there are any shortcuts to learning the facts and law of a particular case. Of course as plaintiff attorneys we usually have plenty of time to research and evaluate a case before engaging with a client. The evaluation period is the perfect time to learn the facts, witnesses, and documents (or things) pertaining to your potential new case. Learning the facts, witnesses, and reviewing pertinent documents always takes time and effort—and then some more time and effort. But once you have the facts down, and understand the application of those facts to law, responding to discovery should be straightforward. Okay, now to an application that can help you quickly respond to discovery.
I use TextExpander for many things in my practice—including responding to discovery. (TextExpander can only be used with Macs, but there are other applications available for PC users such as Breevey or Snippet Bin that function similarly to TextExpander).
For discovery responses I have two groups of “snippets”, namely Discovery Objections and Discovery Responses. As you can see in screen shot above there is a file for “Discovery Responses” and a file for “Discovery Objections”. I’ve selected “Discovery Objections” for the screen shot to show a few of my objection snippets.
I have over 60 objection “snippets”, including attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, calls for expert’s opinion from a lay person, equally available to propounding party, etc. For each one of these objections I have a snippet that can be used to respond to Document Demands, Form and Special Interrogatories, and Requests for Admissions.
For example, if the defense attorney requests that my client provide an expert opinion in special interrogatories I simply type “ROG ExpOp” into my word procesor for that special interrogatory response. TextExpander immediately inserts the objection. You can see the text that is inserted below in the screen shot.
You can insert this objection each time you come to a question asking your client to provide an expert opinion. I simply re-type “ROG ExpOp” and my snippet is immediately inserted each time. As you can see from the screen shot above I also have objections for work product, right to privacy of financial records, collateral source (not sure how good this objection is after Howell), asked and answered, etc.
Before TextExpander I used to cut and paste from a template of objections. While this works, in my experience it takes much longer and it is easy to get lost in a large response file.
As you can imagine, using TextExpander speeds the process up for responding to written discovery. Give it a try in your next discovery response.

Weʼve raised £7 to Refugee and volunteer self run cooperative in Athens needs donations for items such as diapers, cleaning material, sanitary products.
- Funded on Tuesday, 19th September 2017
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Khora is a refugee and volunteer run solidarity centre in the heart of Athens. For a year, people have been working hard to develop this space as a cooperative that is safe, informative and active in the fight for the rights of all people.
Like all autonomous groups, there is always issues regarding access to resources and funding is always needed.
When I worked at Khora, I was often turning away lots of people who were asking for nappies because of low resources and problems in the wide network of actors who are working to coordinate somehow the 'refugee crisis' and put an end to the systematic marginalisation of migrants.
Please give something, I will send it over to them as soon as the target is hit. We all need to come together to continue this great work, and prevent the need to source donations from places which threaten the autonomy of these groups.
Otherwise you can donate right here, or if you're in Athens go in with some items on the wish list.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract As millions of patients with HIV/AIDS are put on treatment with the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), drug interactions have become a major concern for healthcare providers. The use of HAART as a combination of 3 - 4 drugs creates potential for antiretroviral (ARV) drug interactions, and this is complicated by the addition of other drugs for treatment of other ailments such as comorbid chronic conditions and/or opportunistic infections. It has been observed that most ARV drug interactions involve drugs that interact with CYP enzymes. Specifically, protease inhibitors (PIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are the most implicated in ARV drug interactions and are metabolised by CYP isoenzymes. Because PIs and NNRTIs can also inhibit and induce some of the CYP isoenzymes, they often interfere with the metabolism of several drugs eliminated by CYP isoenzymes, and the converse is true. The drug groups most implicated in CYP-mediated interactions with ARV drugs include: rifamycins; statins; antibiotics; antifungals; antiulcer drugs; contraceptives; immunosuppressant drugs; drugs for erectile dysfunction; drugs of abuse; drugs for treatment of addiction; benzodiazepines; anticonvulsants; psychotropic agents; herbal products; antiarrhythmias; antimalarials; anticoagulants; and antiasthma drugs. Unfortunately, this information is published in different resources where it may not be accessible to many, and is also liable to misinterpretation if read in isolation. Here, this information has been pooled and discussed with a hope that it will enable appropriate use in patients with HIV/AIDS. The review was confined to CYP-associated ARV drug interactions to emphasise that prevention of ARV drug interactions requires thorough knowledge of CYP function and regulation by healthcare providers.
