Sense of community and length of residence are important variables influencing community participation. The study aims to identify the factors influencing community participation on sense of community. Particularly, the study examine the moderating effects on the length of residency between sense of community and community participation. Data were collected from 130 usable questionnaires among residents of rural villages. Results of a factor analysis yielded three dimensions of sense of community which are solidarity, belonging, and emotional intimacy. Results show that all of factors among three dimensions of sense of community have significance for community participation. And length of residency has a positive effects as a moderator between community capacity and community satisfaction. Results also indicated that length of residence has an negative interactional effects with moderator. It means that even though higher belonging, less community participation if people live in longer their community. It was suggested that sense of community and length of residency should be considered in rural community development policy.

Made by adults from an adult perspective, they dismiss and discredit the problem of media violence for children. But I suspect few of these complacent critics understand how a child really sees the violence in a movie like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" or a video game such as "Sonic the Hedgehog. Fewer still can analyze them. This lack of understanding becomes a huge problem in crafting -- or even evaluating -- ratings systems designed to protect children from the effects of violence on movies and, increasingly, on television.
Olson suggests that the deliberately outrageous nature of violent games, though disturbing, makes them easily discernible from real life and suggests that the interactivity could potentially make such games less harmful.
She raises the question of how these two behaviors can be linked if youth violence has declined over the last several years while violent video game playing has increased significantly during the same period. This analysis ignores the fact that such variation may be explained by factors other than the link between the two.
A spurious variable—a third variable that explains the relationship between two other variables—may explain the negative correlation of video game playing and violent behavior. As one example, socioeconomic status may explain both a decline in violent behavior and an increase in video game playing.
More affluent youth have the means and time to buy and play video games, which keeps them safely inside while avoiding potentially violent interactions on the street. Olsen also cites several studies that have failed to show a connection between violent video game playing and violent behavior among youth.
This conclusion, however, may not be as clear cut as it appears. Youth violence remains a significant public health issue The decline of youth violence notwithstanding, it remains a significant public health issue that requires attention.
Youth homicide remains the number one cause of death for African-American youth between 14 and 24 years old, and the number two cause for all children in this age group.
Furthermore, the proportion of youth admitting to having committed various violent acts within the previous 12 months has remained steady or even increased somewhat in recent years http: Although the Columbine tragedy and others like it make the headlines, youth are killed everyday by the hands of another.
A more critical analysis of the link between video game playing and violence is necessary for fully understanding a complex problem like youth violent behavior that has many causes and correlates.
Studies support a link between violent video games and aggressive behavior Researchers have reported experimental evidence linking violent video games to more aggressive behavior, particularly as it relates to children who are at more sensitive stages in their socialization.
These effects have been found to be particularly profound in the case of child-initiated virtual violence.
In one study, 9- to year olds and college students were randomly assigned to play either a violent or nonviolent video game. The participants subsequently played another computer game in which they set punishment levels to be delivered to another person participating in the study they were not actually administered.
The authors reported three main findings: The second study was a cross-sectional correlational study of media habits, aggression-related individual difference variables, and aggressive behaviors of an adolescent population.
After statistically controlling for sex, total screen time and aggressive beliefs and attitudes, the authors found that playing violent video games predicted heightened physically aggressive behavior and violent behavior in the real world in a long-term context.
In a third study, Anderson et al. Surveys were given to third, fourth, and fifth graders, their peers, and their teachers at two times during a school year. The survey assessed both media habits and their attitudes about violence. Results indicated that children who played more violent video games early in a school year changed to see the world in a more aggressive way and also changed to become more verbally and physically aggressive later in the school year.
Changes in attitude were noticed by both peers and teachers. Bushman and Huesmann, in a Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine articleexamined effect size estimates using meta-analysis to look at the short- and long-term effects of violent media on aggression in children and adults.
They reported a positive relationship between exposure to media violence and subsequent aggressive behavior, aggressive ideas, arousal, and anger across the studies they examined.
Consistent with the theory that long-term effects require the learning of beliefs and that young minds can easier encode new scripts via observational learning, they found that the long-term effects were greater for children. In a more recent review, Anderson et al.
These included experimental laboratory work, cross-sectional surveys and longitudinal studies. Overall, they found consistent associations between playing violent video games and many measures of aggression, including self, teacher and parent reports of aggressive behavior.
Violent video games may increase precursors to violent behavior, such as bullying Although playing violent video games may not necessarily determine violent or aggressive behavior, it may increase precursors to violent behavior.
Olson points out that violent video games may be related to bullying, which researchers have found to be a risk factor for more serious violent behavior. Therefore, video game playing may have an indirect effect on violent behavior by increasing risk factors for it. Doug Gentile notes that the only way for violent video games to affect serious criminal violence statistics is if they were the primary predictor of crime, which they may not be.
Rather, they represent one risk factor among many for aggression http:Essay on Youth Violence and Media There has been a lot of research conducted on the notions that violence portrayed in media - such as television, video, film, music, newspapers and books - can have adverse effects on the children viewing it.
Causes of School Violence School violence is a many-faceted problem, making it difficult for researchers and practitioners to pinpoint its causes. Many school violence statistics, for example, do not match the norms in our larger society. A Nationa. (Berkowitz & Geen, ), studied the simulated aggressive behavior of youth and young adults following the viewing of segments of violent films, such as a Kirk Douglas boxing impact of television on children and adults.
The nine psychologists assigned to this television violence can cause aggressive behavior and can cultivate values. This meant that violence on television or in movies could stimulate or influence some children to participate in aggressive or violent behavior.
At about the same time my own research at the University of Utah showed that children who had been heavily exposed to violence on TV could also become somewhat desensitized to it compared with children. The benefits of doing so are healthier, happier, more successful children, adolescents and young adults.

WTO says goods trade slowing due to supply issues, cooler demand By Reuters

GENEVA (Reuters) – Global goods trade is slowing after a sharp rebound following the initial shock of the COVID-19 pandemic as production and supply disruptions and cooling demand for imports dampen growth, the World Trade Organization said on Monday.
The WTO said its goods trade barometer dropped to 99.5 points, close to the baseline of 100, in November following a record reading of 110.4 in August.
The Geneva-based trade body said supply shocks, including port gridlock arising from surging import demand in the first half of the year and disrupted production of goods such as automobiles and semiconductors, had contributed to the decline.
Demand for traded goods was also easing, indicated by falling export orders.
“Cooling import demand could help ease port congestion, but backlogs and delays are unlikely to be eliminated as long as container throughput remains at or near record levels,” the WTO said.
The WTO said the reading was broadly in line with its forecast of a 10.8% pick-up of merchandise trade volume this year, slowing to a 4.7% rise in 2022.
The WTO said the outlook for world trade continued to be overshadowed by downside risks, regional disparities and continued weakness of services trade.
The Geneva-based trade body said all its barometer’s component indices had declined, with the steepest decline for its automotive products index and only the air freight index firmly above trend.
Electronic components, container shipping and raw materials were at or close to the 100 mark indicating growth in line with medium-term trends.
The WTO goods trade barometer is a composite of data and is designed to anticipate turning points and gauge momentum in global trade growth rather than to provide a specific short-term forecast.

“It was the best decision I made since graduating high school,” she said. “HCC helped me to really immerse myself into my craft. It has been such a welcoming community of staff and students. Being in the theatre productions has been a blast and a fabulous learning experience.”
Liliana has excelled in HCC’s theatre program, making her professional stage debut last fall playing “Sherri” in Rep Stage’s production of the comedy “American Hero,” by Bess Wohl.
It is not often that students get the opportunity to perform with Rep Stage, the professional regional theatre in residence at the college. Liliana wanted more acting experience before tackling a professional stage, but her teachers, family, and friends encouraged her to audition.
“It was a little scary at first,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh, I am not at their level.’ But, as I got to know the cast, they were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They were so supportive and were constantly asking about my process.”
Liliana said her teaches do everything they can to prepare students for real world situation and skills for a career in theatre. And the students have a blast learning the process.
“Making the classroom a fun place is really important,” she said. “You can’t learn if you’re not having a good time and it’s important to have a good time, especially when you’re acting.”
After graduating from HCC in May, Liliana will head to Chillicothe, Ohio, where she will spend the summer performing as an ensemble member in the outdoor drama, “Tecumseh,” directed by Jenny Male, a theatre professor at HCC.
“It’s my first big move away from home, but I get to do what I love and get paid for it, so it should be a very fun-filled, thrilling summer,” she said.
When she returns to Columbia in September, Liliana plans to work part-time, apply to universities for spring 2018, and perform in more shows in the area.
“Ultimately, I want to be happy in whatever I end up in,” she said. “I know theatre will always be a part of my life. To have a secure job in theatre is my ultimate goal.”
What would she say to someone considering HCC?
“Stop considering it and just do it,” she said. “So many people who went straight to a university after they graduated (high school) have told me they wished they went to community college first.
“It’s a no-brainer I think.”


Simpsons writer reveals 10 zany plots that never made it to air
Bill Oakley, who was a writer on The Simpsons back when it was still good, has celebrated the animated sitcom's 500th episode by revealing 10 plots that were considered for but never used in the show.
Via Twitter, Oakley revealed that he searched his old files for lost Simpsons plots that were "pitched, discussed, written" by the show's then-staff but ultimately tossed.
So here they are:
10. "Homer's Sexual Fantasy" by Dan Greaney
9. "Homer Privately Tells Bart He Loves Him Best" by Ken Keeler
8. Bart Gets 144 Jeeps by Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein.According to Simpsons fansite Rubbercat (that link is a must-read for you Simpsons obsessives, by the way), this was based on a post-WWII urban legend claiming there were crateloads of surplus Army Jeeps on sale for cheap.
7. "Homer the Narcoleptic" by David X. Cohen. Cohen — who went on to become one of Futurama's executive producers — apparently pitched this idea "many, many times".
6. "thirtysimpsons" by David M. Stern. In which Homer would have made friends with a bunch of yuppies. The title refers to the late-'80s drama thirtysomething.
5. "Amusement Park" by Matt Groening
4. "Homer vs. Dr. Hibbert on the Issue of Race" by Greg Daniels. Possibly nixed because the writers decided The Simpsons is not the appropriate forum to address such as controversial topic.
3. "Homer's $1000 Suit" — index card left on bulletin board by Sam Simon
2. Lisa the Scientopteran by George Meyer. Rubbercat theorises that this episode would have spoofed Scientology — Bart's voice actress Nancy Cartwright is a Scientologist, by the way — but was canned due to legal ramifications.
1. "Prince Comes to Springfield" by Conan O'Brien. This is fascinating: this episode would've been a sequel to 'Stark Raving Dad', which featured a mental patient called Leon Kompowsky who thinks he's Michael Jackson. (Jackson really did voice the character.) In the mooted follow-up, he would've returned to Springfield, but now he thinks he's Prince — and Prince would have done the voice. O'Brien apparently wrote a script that Prince hated, so it was ditched.

Volunteering here is a way of giving back to the community. It’s something I have been doing since I was young so anywhere I can get involved, debating, health science, I’ve done as much as I could on and off campus while keeping studies in mind.
I see the Centre as an open space to practice, and get to know others. Knowing it’s a safe space and seeing everyone get along made me want to get involved and stay involved.
One of my most memorable moments was non-violence day. Everyone collaborated; everyone brought a speaker for non-violence from their own religion. It’s important to have that kind of communication in our community, especially now when Islam is seen as bad in media. It was a chance to speak of peace with other people in the Interfaith center which was good because and we had a great turnout.

KUALA LUMPUR • About RM120 million (S$40.5 million) - this is what investigators have tallied up, after they finally finished counting the cash in various currencies seized from apartments linked to former premier Najib Razak at the Pavilion Residences last week.
Sources said officers from the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) completed the painstaking task of counting the seized cash at its headquarters at Menara 238 in Jalan Tun Razak yesterday.
"The process of counting the cash started on Monday as investigators pulled long hours just to ensure the process was done thoroughly. Some 30 bags of cash were counted by police personnel with the assistance of Bank Negara officers. The total amounted to around RM120 million," a source said.
The bags of money were among a haul of 284 boxes filled with designer handbags, watches, jewellery and cash in various currencies taken from three luxury condominium units here, the value of which was impossible to estimate due to the sheer volume. The raids were part of police investigations into troubled state fund 1MDB.
Last Friday, police seized valuables and cash following a check on six locations linked to Datuk Seri Najib, including the Prime Minister's Office, his official residence and other premises. In a police report, Mr Najib had claimed that the cash seized from the Pavilion Residences was donations from his friends and meant for Barisan Nasional's election campaign.
When contacted, Bukit Aman CCID director Amar Singh refused to comment as the matter is still under investigation. He said: "I cannot comment on the amount of cash that has been counted. I will hold a proper press conference to address the progress of the investigation."
It is learnt that the police are also being assisted by other agencies, including Bank Negara. Other sources have also been reported as saying that the process of counting the money was very tedious as it involved multiple denominations, and the serial number of every banknote seized had to be recorded.

On April 1, the US crude oil May 2019 futures closed ~$1.7 above the May 2020 futures. On March 25, the futures spread was at a premium of just $0.08. On March 25–April 1, US crude oil May futures rose 4.7%.
Rise in bullish sentiments
The market sentiment towards the oil demand and supply situation is reflected in the futures spread. In the last five trading sessions, the spread’s premium expanded. US crude oil prices rose by nearly five percentage points. A fall of 90 thousand barrels per day in the EIA’s Monthly Oil Production report released on March 29 supported oil prices. US crude oil inventories are below their five-year average, which impacted oil’s rise. If the spread’s premium expands more, it would signal more bullish sentiments for oil.
As of April 1, the US crude oil futures contracts for May and August were priced in ascending order. The price pattern is a negative sign for ETFs that follow US crude oil futures like the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (UCO) and the United States 12 Month Oil ETF (USL).

Where did Lily Allen get her music from?
posted by Summer (36 comments total)
26 users marked this as a favorite
Her own head? Her producer's heads? Her co-writers' heads? No. Lily 'borrowed' liberally from old reggae and ska tracks and even soft porn soundtracks. The music like dirt
blog (a find in itself) outlines every sample and influence in 'Alright, Still'
, and the result is much more interesting than the album itself. Music like dirt provides some brilliant links to classic reggae, ska, calypso, jazz.....
The blog raises the question of whether imaginative sampling is an art in itself and whether producers should be acknowledged as the real forces behind artists such as Lily. In her case I would have like to have seen a bit more acknowledgement of her 'influences'. Not one of the artists mentioned on 'music like dirt' are quoted as influences on Lily's MySpace Page
. Incidentally, I'm aware all this is from 2006 - but I didn't think that would matter to people interested in the original tracks.

Kerry O'Brien speaks with Norman Doidge
Kerry O'Brien speaks with Nathan Doidge, author of The Brain That Changes Itself.
KERRY O'BRIEN, PRESENTER: For all the breakthroughs in medical science that we've come to take for granted, unravelling the mysteries of the human brain is still very much a work in progress. But there's a band of brilliant pioneers at the frontiers of brain science whose work demonstrates ways in which the brain can change itself with new treatments for a range of human ailments from stroke recovery to learning disabilities to mental illness to enhanced memory.
There's one scientist who says his work demonstrates that we can radically improve how we learn, think, perceive and remember, even in old age, with specific brain exercises. It's an area of neuroscience that New York psychiatrist Dr. Norman Doidge has dubbed "neuroplasticity", and he's documented a range of remarkable stories in a book called "The Brain that Changes Itself". He's in Australia for the Brisbane Writers' Festival and I spoke with him in Melbourne today.
Norman Doidge, what is it about the plasticity of the brain that allows it to be rewired?
NORMAN DOIDGE, AUTHOR: Well, for the longest time, for 400 years, we thought of the brain as like a complex machine with parts. And our best and brightest neuroscientists really believed that. It was a mechanistic model of the brain and machines do many glorious things, but they don't rewire themselves and they don't grow new parts. And it turns out that that metaphor was actually just spectacularly wrong, and that the brain is not inanimate, it's animate and it's growing, it's more plant like than machine like and it actually works by changing its structure and function as it goes along.
KERRY O'BRIEN: You've given a number of examples in your book about how this has been applied in adults with some quite astounding results. Instances where people are being treated for strokes, to recover, to help them recover from strokes. One illustration: the surgeon.
NORMAN DOIDGE: Yeah, I spoke to Michael Bernstein who was an eye surgeon, so he did microsurgery intervention inside an eye. He was a classical pianist and a tennis player and one day playing tennis, half of his body was completely rendered immovable. He had the usual amount of treatment which is about six weeks of rehabilitation, then sent home because the assumption was, you know, that's the best you can do, the brain doesn't grow or reorganise in any way. And, luckily, he was in Birmingham, Alabama where Edward Taub developed a therapy for strokes which basically does the following: the assumption is that when you have a stroke, you lose cells in your brain and you try to move the affected limb, it doesn't work, so you learn it doesn't work. You stop using it and you use your good limb. Taub had the ingenuity to put the good limb in a sling or cast so you can't use it and then incrementally train the affected limb, and he was able to bring Dr Bernstein back to the point that he practices medicine. I spoke with Taub patients who'd had strokes 50 years before, and there were children there who had had cerebral palsy who were using this treatment and recovering their independence.
KERRY O'BRIEN: House Taub's work been authenticated, has it gone through the rigorous testing process?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Oh, yeah. The thing about Taub is Mr Meticulous, and they've got very, very fine studies that show that it's effective. And in fact, some of the other forms of rehab that we've been using for many years unfortunately are not that effective.
KERRY O'BRIEN: There's the claim that we can radically improve how we learn, think, perceive and remember, even in old age. Is that proven?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Yes, it is proven. Michael Merzenich, who is perhaps the most important plasticity researcher alive, and who persuaded most scientific sceptics that the brain is plastic, has developed programs both for children with learning disabilities, severe reading problems and for people in their old age which can do things like turn the memory clock back somewhere between 10 and 25 years. I spoke to a gentleman Stanley Karanski, who was 90-years-old, who did the program and in six weeks he found that his trouble recognising and remembering names and faces, his trouble being alert, his trouble driving, all reversed itself, and they have very fine studies showing that this is possible in large groups of people. And what we do is we go in and we actually rebuild the various parts of the brain up from scratch, just the way you sort of learn, for instance, how to distinguish sounds as a baby; we do this now with the adult. We give - sort of retune the auditory cortex so that it registers sounds in a very crisp way. And so when you meet someone at a party, it's very, very sharp, powerful signals that your brain's discharging.
KERRY O'BRIEN: There's the claim that brain exercises may help treat schizophrenia.
NORMAN DOIDGE: There have been studies done in California by Merzenich and his crew which show that people who do these brain exercises get many of the benefits that they do with medications. I'm not suggesting - no one's suggesting that medications simply are replaced by brain exercises. But at this point, we're seeing that there are a lot of things that can be helped, including some pretty serious mental illnesses.
KERRY O'BRIEN: You write that humans instinctively were on the right track in the age of rote learning in education and you cite Abraham Lincoln's skill as an orator as an example. Can you elaborate?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Sure. In the '60s, there were things that were part of a kind of classical education that people did away with 'cause they thought that they were irrelevant like an almost fanatical attention to elocution and handwriting, or memorising long poems. But, it now turns out that what these activities did is they exercised very important parts of the brain that allow you to think in long sentences, have deep internal monologues and a certain amount of grace in all kinds of expression. And probably a lot of damage was done by doing away with these exercises that were there for good reasons we didn't understand.
KERRY O'BRIEN: You mean that they have reduced the scope of the functions of a child's brain as they grow to adulthood?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Yeah. The simplest example would be memory of long verses of poetry. It allows you to speak in public and have long, deep paragraphs of thought in private. When you reduce the amount of memory in those processors, we're reduced to a world of sound bites.
KERRY O'BRIEN: So, somebody else might say, well, you know, the kind of oratory of a Lincoln is simply a lost art. You would add to that; you would say it's a lost art ...
NORMAN DOIDGE: That can be recovered.
KERRY O'BRIEN: ... but a lost art that was lost in the way we learnt, which you connect to the plasticity of the brain.
NORMAN DOIDGE: Most definitely.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Does mainstream science take it as seriously as it should?
NORMAN DOIDGE: I would say that mainstream neuroscience is now smitten with neuroplasticity as the new revolutionary paradigm that is giving us great insights in the levels of activity that are going on in the brain. And an example of it is just the following amazing fact: that when you think thoughts or learn something, you actually turn on genes inside the nerve cells in your brain to change the number of connections between those cells. You can double them in a matter of hours between nerve cell A and nerve cell B. So, what we've discovered with neuroplasticity is that consciousness can direct genetic expression, and neuroscientists are looking at all the sort of points along that trail from consciousness, ultimately to structural change in the brain and altered behavioural expression as one of the chief tasks right now.
KERRY O'BRIEN: You get the sense that there is a vast application that could be applied across a whole range of areas that aren't being tapped. What is the potential?
NORMAN DOIDGE: It's extraordinary. The brain's the command centre of the human being, and every human activity emerges from the brain. And when we have a radical paradigm shift in understanding of the brain, every human activity is affected: education, all kinds of learning, and all kinds of medicine, neurology, and psychiatry. But, any kind of training, learning to play a musical instrument, the military, sports, our understanding of the humanities, and, especially our understanding of culture, all has to be re-examined.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Have you tried to exploit your knowledge of neuroplasticity to your own benefit?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Sure. One of the easiest changes to make is the change in attitude. Once you understand that plasticity exists from cradle to grave, what it means is that a development, which most people think of as, really, child development, is something that goes on throughout the course of life. So, my own attitude towards my patients when they have issues of difficulty has changed, 'cause I know that brain change is possible, and my attitude towards myself has changed, and I do some exercises myself.
KERRY O'BRIEN: What sort of exercises?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Well, I do these brain exercises for language.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Easy?
NORMAN DOIDGE: Pleasant. They're well-designed, so you get - you're motivated as you go along. But it's like any kind of working out: it takes time to be - you put aside the time, but you get into it after you start.
KERRY O'BRIEN: So, if a person has the motivation, we could see a point where these - where a range of brain exercises could become quite commonplace to help prepare you even for old age, amongst other things.
NORMAN DOIDGE: Prepare you and maintain you. It seems to me just common sense that just as a person would want to do cardiovascular training in their 50s, 60s and 70s, that you'd want to do some brain training as part of it, especially when the studies are showing that you can really turn the memory clock back so significantly.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Norman Doidge, thanks very much for talking with us.
NORMAN DOIDGE: Thank you very much.
KERRY O'BRIEN: Some of us might need more maintenance than others.

George W. Bush has remained relatively quiet throughout the Republican primary race. That's not unusual for former presidents, and, perhaps, most candidates may not have been rushing for his support anyway. But it seems that none of the current candidates were Bush's favorites. He much would have preferred that his brother Jeb ran in 2012, a factoid revealed by his wife Laura Bush today while speaking in Sarasota.
Laura Bush was speaking as part of a townhall series at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center in Sarasota yesterday. The speech steered clear of partisan politics, but the former first lady did laud her brother-in-law Jeb, the former Governor of Florida when asked if he would ever run for president.
"[George] and I wish he would," Laura Bush said according to The Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "We wanted him to this time."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Support Our Journalism
Mrs. Bush said Jeb would make a "wonderful" president in part because of his work on education policy, but add "we're out of politics, as George would say, but still interested in policy."
It's hard to read this is an indication that the Bushes aren't impressed with the crop of 2012 candidates, but there certainly numerous Republicans out there who aren't impressed with the Romneys and Santorums and wish Jebbers would have jumped in.
Jeb of course repeatedly ruled out running in 2012 but has left the door open for a run in the future.

8th January, 2017
I (Ashley Baldwin-Smith) work in a variety of media, oils and acrylics, metal, plaster and concrete. However, the found object is a recurring theme throughout my sculptures and mixed media work. Consequently, as the materials I use are so varied, my work takes many forms: From assemblages for hanging on walls to constructing robot like figures from surgical instruments. Whether it is; a surgical instrument, farm implement, part of train or car engine, the item keeps some of it’s original connotation but also takes on a new meaning. I like to think my artwork is environmentally friendly as in many cases the completed sculpture reflects what we throw away or dump. It is also exciting, as depending on what source or find I never really know what my next sculpture will be. I like to live with objects for a while, get to know them, until ideas form.
After leaving school I trained as an engineer, including advanced welding, fabrication and mechanical drawing and design. I worked for a number of years as a prototype engineer designing and constructing everything from roll cages for cars, food processing production units to computer rack systems. However, after and injury to my leg (now fully recovered) I decided to take a B.A Honours Art Degree where I was able to combine my engineering skills with my art.

Guinea’s coup leader declared a zero tolerance policy on corruption on Saturday, vowing to renegotiate the country’s numerous mining contracts and warning that anyone who embezzles state funds will be executed.
Captain Moussa Camara also extended an apparent concession to Guinea’s opposition, telling them they could help choose a prime minister following international criticism that elections are not planned for two more years.
On a concrete stage inside the barracks from where he launched his rebellion on Tuesday, Camara jabbed his finger at the sky as he swore to do away with the corruption that has drained the mineral-rich state’s coffers.
“For the person who embezzles money, there won’t be a trial. They’ll be killed,” he said as the crowd went wild. “I was born in a hut. I walked to school ... Money means nothing to me.”
Guinea is the world’s largest producer of bauxite, the raw material used to make aluminum, and also produces diamonds and gold.
Yet its mineral wealth was siphoned off to enrich the country’s longtime ruling clique.
Guinea has been ruled by only two people since gaining independence from France half a century ago. Dictator Lansana Conte died on Monday and the military junta led by Camara declared the coup a day later.
He said the country’s ruling clique “spit on the faces of the poor,” enriching themselves at the population’s expense.
One of the remedies he proposed was reviewing the country’s mining contracts and renegotiating them if the terms are unfavorable.
Even as the crowd of thousands cheered him, the international community continued its condemnation of the coup.
South African President Kgalema Motlanthe condemned it as “an affront to peace, stability and democracy.”
The EU said the junta needed to hold elections next year.
In a move that appeared calculated to address the international community’s concerns, Camara said he was calling on Guinea’s opposition, including its powerful unions, to propose the name of a prime minister.
Rabiatou Serah Diallo, head of one of Guinea’s largest unions, welcomed the move, but said the unions were dilligently watching.
“If they deviate from the road they promise to take us on, then they’ll find us blocking their path,” Diallo said.
Camara was largely unknown to most Guineans before his group seized public airwaves and declared the coup. On Saturday, he invited civilian community leaders — including union leaders, religious heads, politicians and human rights workers — to meet him at his barracks.
He arrived surrounded by a cordon of soldiers armed with machine guns. They hollered at the crowd to move back. Many wore fetishes tied around their arms and necks intended to protect them from harm.
Camara, a short man with a taut face, took the microphone, electrifying the crowd with one pronouncement after another.
A generation of Guineans have known only Lansana Conte as their ruler and even though the coup leader appears to enjoy broad support, tens of thousands turned out for the dictator’s funeral on Friday.

ADD UPDATE, 21 April 2017: Ahead of the Hampshire County Council (HCC) elections on 4 May, ADD has invited each candidate for each ward that will be impacted by options B and C of Eastleigh Borough Council’s Local Plan (namely its plans for 6,000+ houses and a major new road north of Bishopstoke and Fair Oak) to submit an article of no more than 100 words that describes their position with regards to this proposed major development area.
On 21 April, Dave Hubble, Green candidate for Bishopstoke and Fair Oak, sent us the following email:
“I oppose development Options B & C for several reasons. Firstly, direct damage and destruction of local habitats, with remaining areas being isolated, over-used and degraded. Secondly, worsening air quality with increased traffic congestion. Thirdly, even more strain on already over-stretched infrastructure and services. I have asked for details of surveys and mitigation, but have received nothing but stock replies. It has clearly been led by the wishes of developers and their contacts in Eastleigh Borough Council, not by the needs of local people and a sustainable future. I fully support the ADD campaign and encourage others to get involved.”

Being seven months pregnant and having an 18-month-old at home can be pretty hard work - physically, mentally and emotionally (!)
So when I was offered the chance to spend an entire day and night at a spa, I was there like a shot - every mum-to-be needs a babymoon after all, right?
My destination - Titanic Spa in Huddersfield, right in the heart of Yorkshire and just and hour and a half's drive from Hull.
I never really understood the full appeal of spas before having children but, as I'm sure anyone with little ones will agree, having some time to yourself and a bit of pampering is truly heavenly now.
And as spas go, Titanic is definitely not your run of the mill. Ironically though, this spa is actually a beautifully renovated 20th-century textile mill - and I'd never experienced anything like it.
See more photos from our stay at Titanic Spa
As you approach the spa, you can't miss the striking old building set amid the hilly landscape.
It's huge - and as we were soon to discover, it's to be massively respected for its environmental values too.
The whole place is as eco-friendly as it possibly can be, with its solar photovoltaic roof panels, its energy efficient lighting and appliances and the place also uses water direct from its very own natural water source 100m below the building.
The entire ground floor is dedicated to the spa area. It's got a fabulous swimming pool with jacuzzi and poolside loungers, an outdoor hot tub, relaxation rooms and a fantastic heat and ice experience as well as a restaurant and cocktail lounge.
My husband and I were treated to a delicious light lunch on arrival and were able to check into our apartment, that's right, an entirely kitted out luxury apartment, at 2pm.
The apartment was huge, had fantastic views from the balcony and it came fully equipped with everything we could possibly need - including a breakfast hamper full of goodies for the following morning.
But back to the spa and while my husband enjoyed a swim and a snooze at the pool, I had the pleasure of an amazing 'peaceful pregnancy' massage.
The 55 minute treatment which included a back, leg, arms, hands and shoulder massage was just what this tired and weary body needed.
Unfortunately, being pregnant meant I couldn't make the most of some of the facilities - most of the heat and ice experience advises against going in if you're pregnant and generally speaking you shouldn't use hot tubs either, although I couldn't resist a sneaky five minute dip in the outdoor one.
Feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated, we made our way back upstairs to the apartment and got ready for our evening meal.
After a beer and a mocktail in the cocktail bar, we sat down for a gorgeous three-course meal in the restaurant before heading back upstairs for a film with a cuppa and an early night - heaven.
I couldn't recommend Titanic Spa enough and while it was perfect for our 'parents night off' break it would also be a great place to have a girly night or weekend with a group of friends.
There are plenty of offers to consider on the spa's website which currently includes an Autumn Evening Escape for £39 per person and a Christmas Eve Spa Day for £99.

Twelve people were killed in a shooting at a Southern California bar this week by a gunman who later took his own life. The shooting happened during college night at Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California. The suspect, Ian Long, was a former Marine who had several previous run-ins with police. The victims included patrons, bar employees and Sgt. Ron Helus, who was one of the first emergency responders on scene. Some of the survivors were also survivors of the Las Vegas concert massacre in October 2017.
Other major headlines of the week included Trump announcing that Jeff Sessions is no longer the attorney general, Democrats seizing control of the House during the midterm elections and the U.S. Olympic Committee moving to shutdown USA Gymnastics after the Larry Nassar scandal.

Warning on 'liquid gold' savings accounts
Millions of savers are being advised to move their money after a survey found some 'liquid gold' and 'premier' accounts pay near-zero rates of interest.
Disappointing: Savers are losing out
More than one in four instant access accounts return 0.1% or less on balances of up to £10,000.
Tens of thousands of savers also get minimal returns on much larger deposits, according to the report by independent financial analyst Defaqto.
Some banks even impose a 90-day notice period for withdrawing funds from savings accounts, despite paying tiny interest rates.
Accounts such as Halifax's Liquid Gold and Saver Reward, Nationwide's CashBuilder and HSBC's Premier Savings, pay only 0.1% on deposits below £10,000.
In contrast, the highest-paying variable-rate accounts are offering nearly 3 per cent, while top fixed-rate savings bonds are yielding more than 4%.
Defaqto compiled a list of the 50 worst savings accounts in Britain for the Financial Times.
It included the Newcastle Building Society's Nova Plus instant access which pays 0.01% on sums below £10,000.
The Sovereign 30 account with private bank Cater Allen pays zero interest on balances up to £10,000.
David Black, a banking consultant at Defaqto, said: 'For savers, this list looks absolutely appalling. There doesn't seem to be any reward for loyalty in this market.
'Anyone who has had their money in a variable account for some time would be strongly advised to look around for a better deal, and in many cases, to keep moving it around to keep getting the best introductory deals.'
Several banks and building societies are offering bonus rates of 2.75% for new savers, but the deals often last only 12 months. This has led to a chasm between the rates paid to new and existing customers.
Most of the accounts with eyecatching names were launched several years ago, when the financial situation was much better A little more than six months ago banks were offering as much as 6.5% interest on instant access savings accounts.
But rates plunged as the economic crisis prompted cuts in interest rates to a record low.
Best savings rates

Mr Black said the poor-paying accounts in the report include only those that are still available to new customers. There are likely to be many more 'obsolete' accounts that pay similar or worse rates which are still used by loyal savers but not advertised to new customers.
The Banking Code Standards Board watchdog said many savings accounts marketed as 'gold' had been poor payers for some time, but under industry rules, an account's name is not sufficient grounds for a complaint about returns.
Banks and building societies must notify customers at least once a year of all their rates. They must also inform savers of low returns when rates are reduced significantly more than cuts in the base rate.
Kevin Mountford, from comparison website Moneysupermarket.com, said many savers in low paying accounts could improve their returns by switching to fixed-rate bonds. He said: 'Rates of 4% plus are a hell of a premium over a 0.5% base rate - bonds are where the competition is.' Newcastle Building Society said most people with money in its Nova Plus account had less than £100 and used it to hold funds briefly.
Cater Allen said the zero interest rate below £10,000 on its Sovereign 30 was because the bank was aimed at 'high net worth' depositors.

Greene 3, Edmeston 0
GREENE - Defending Midstate Athletic Conference champion, Greene, got off on the right foot Thursday shutting out Edmeston in a non-league matchup Thursday.
Freshman Luke Day had a pair of first-half goals scoring off a Karl Zaengle cross 6:17 into the game, and then providing a two-goal cushion before halftime 23 minutes later. Kurt Bartholomew put away a penalty kick in the second half to complete the Trojans’ scoring.
“I felt we possessed the ball well and took advantage of a couple opportunities to score,” said Greene coach Rick Tallman. “We missed some opportunities, too, but right now we’re trying to get some things flowing. I was impressed today with the defense of Cameron Race at sweeper and Brian Leone at outside back. They both did nice jobs.”
Greene plays at Delhi this coming Wednesday.
(2-0 at half )
Goals-assists; (G) Luke Day, 2-0, Kurt Bartholomew, 1-0 (PK), Karl Zaengle, 0-1.
Shots-corners: (G) 12-2, (E) 4-3.

Electroporation as a delivery method is increasingly important in gene therapy, not only in vivo but also in in vitro experimental systems. Different applications of gene electrotransfer require high viability of cells and high transfection efficiency of gene electrotransfer. It was already demonstrated that the addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS) immediately after gene electrotransfer leads to improved cell survival and transfection efficiency. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine whether prolonged incubation of cells in FBS, for more than standard 5 min, can lead to increased transfection efficiency and improved cell survival. Different murine melanoma and murine and human endothelial cell lines were transfected with plasmid encoding green fluorescent protein and then incubated for different periods of time in FBS (5–30 min). Transfection efficiency was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy and cell survival by cell viability assay. Prolonged incubation of cells in FBS after gene electrotransfer had varying effect on cell survival, which was decreased in melanoma cell lines B16F1 and B16F10, minimally affected in SVEC4-10 and HUVEC cells and increased in 2H11 cell at 30 min of incubation time in FBS. On the other hand, transfection efficiency of gene electrotransfer was not affected by long incubation of cell in FBS, regardless of the cell line used. The results of our study emphasize the importance of optimization of gene electrotransfer protocol for particular cells and specific purposes of gene electrotransfer, taking into account the importance of transfection efficiency and cell survival.

Somizi Mhlongo is fully on board with the body positivity movement, particularly plus-size women who are owning their sex appeal.
The terms “big”, “thick”, “voluptuous”, used to describe women in the plus-size range, have slowly become not so taboo as they were in the past. Though women with fuller figures are still body-shamed on social media and off the internet on a daily basis, there has been a conscious effort to change the conversations around body types.
Multi-talented media personality Somizi is seemingly only realising now the power this has on many women. Sharing a video on Instagram, he praised the body inclusivity era.
“I saw a lot of beautiful women dressed comfortably in all shapes and sizes. But what took my eyes and my attention were big women, voluptuous women owning it, looking so sexy, and I see it’s now becoming a trend; ladies don’t stop. Own it, the body happens once, forget about everything else,” said Somizi.
“I see them on Tik Tok with all the criticism and everything, they are owning it. Please, you might not even do it for yourselves, but you’re doing it for the kids who are bullied at school, because of their weight. I am loving it.”
WATCH: Somizi praises plus-size women
Somizi also loved that these women weren’t afraid to show their body parts, particularly with the style of clothes that leave nothing to the imagination – dresses with high slits, deep necklines and tight clothing which in the past were considered appropriate for small to petite figures.
Somizi has a message for the haters who say that plus-size people can’t wear such clothing and should rather worry about their weight and health: “Who said that every one that is big and plus size is not concerned about those things [weight], sometimes it is beyond their control. Just say you look good, you look beautiful, I wish you well and look after yourself.”
American singer Lizzo is well known for being one of the figureheads of body positivity but has admitted the criticism can be too much at times.
She told Harpers Bazaar that being “fat” is the worst thing people can say to her at this point in her career.
“This is the biggest insecurity. It’s like, ‘How dare a pop star be fat?’ I had to own that. I feel like other people who were put on that pedestal, or who become pop stars, probably have other insecurities or have other flaws, but they can hide it behind a veneer of being sexy and being marketable,” she said.

How Ford make long car journeys better
While millions of people enjoy the thrill and excitement of motoring, being behind the wheel can soon grow tiresome if you are faced with a journey lasting many hours. This is something that Ford has had in the forefront of their designs for many years, resulting in an experience that driver and passenger alike will not want to end.
Here are just a few ways in which the blue oval help to make your long car journeys simply fly by.
Technology with comfort in mind
Aside from using the finest materials in the interiors of their vehicles, Ford cars are also renowned for bringing the latest innovations and technologies to benefit the driver. Some of them are small, such as a rear-view mirror that automatically dims to avoid the driver being blinded by opposing headlights.
On the other hand, aspects such as fully adjustable seats mean that finding the perfect sitting position is easier than ever; on trim level such as the Titanium, Titanium X and Titanium X Sport, these adjustable seats also have the benefit of being electric-powered.
Another of the fantastic features that new Ford vehicles boast is climate control, meaning you can create the perfect temperature in your cabin at the touch of a button – and that’s not by opening the window! Keeping you cool in the summer and pleasantly warm in the winter, the climate control system offers pleasant fans and a variety of five different heating levels.
As well as the superb levels of climate control, many Ford cars – such as the Ford Focus and Mondeo – also offer Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (DEATC), allowing you to alter the temperature between the front and rear seats by as much as 4°. This means that while the children in the back may want a slight breeze, you can stay that little bit warmer while behind the wheel!
To find out more about these great features, why not visit one of the certified Ford dealerships operated by Foray Motor Group today?
Peace and quiet
Although part of the thrill of motoring is hearing the roar of a powerful engine, it’s fair to say that this continuous noise won’t provide the antidote for a relaxing and peaceful car journey. This is something that Ford has continued to develop in their fleet of vehicles, implementing quieter engines and soundproofing throughout to allow customers to relax and unwind while travelling.
A great example of this is through the Ford Fiesta, a model which, as Britain’s best-selling car, needs no introduction. Now into its seventh generation, it has been carefully tailored to offer the right mix of space and practicality.
Suspension that soaks up the bumps
The good aspect about the majority of long journeys is that they can – in most cases – be completed through the help of the motorway, offering mile after mile of smooth tarmac that is almost exclusive of corners. However, the experience can change noticeably if you have to head off onto a country road littered with bumps and blemishes.
This is another avenue where Ford accelerates from the pack thanks to its considered suspension system, tensile enough to take the force of bumps and dips to further enhance the experience for everyone on board.This content was written by Ben Edwards.
