Ξ Available on amber 180 gram vinyl Born in Berlin in early 2014 and nurtured over the following summer, 'I Declare Nothing' is the spine–tingling collaboration between Tess Parks and Anton Newcombe (Brian Jonestown Massacre), due for release on Anton's A Recordings label on 29th June. The duo, who co–wrote and co–played on the album, they are touring across Europe this year. Tess Parks — A native of Toronto, Tess Parks moved to London, England at the age of seventeen where she briefly studied photography before deciding to focus on music. Tess made an impression on industry legend Alan McGee, founder of Creation Records, albeit the timing of their meeting could hardly have been less ideal; McGee was no longer involved in music and Tess was due to move back to Toronto. After moving back to her hometown in 2012, Tess formed a band on the advice of McGee and less than a year after their meeting, he returned to music with his new label, 359 Music. Tess became one of his first signings and released her debut record 'Blood Hot' in November 2013 to excellent reviews. One reviewer described her as 'Patti Smith on Quaaludes'. Others have mentioned her 'gauzy psychedelic sound' and 'smouldering voice'. Alan McGee himself said: 'She's only 24 and is already an amazing songwriter... she just doesn't quite know she is yet … her most beautiful quality is her lack of ego. Tess is an amazing lady'. Anton Newcombe — Anton Newcombe is the leader of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, who returned last May with their 14th full–length album 'Revelation' to critical acclaim. It is the first album that was fully recorded and produced at Anton Newcombe's recording studio in Berlin and was released on his record label A Recordings. It was supported by a successful European tour. Named in tribute to the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist and his influence in introducing Eastern culture and music into the world of Western rock & roll, Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in San Francisco, California in 1990. Two dozen band members later and numerous 'ups and downs' (some have been famously sensationalized in the media), the one thing that has always remained consistent for this psychedelic collective, is front man Mr. Anton Alfred Newcombe.REVIEW, Author Benjamin Salt, DRUNKEN WEREWOLF
Ξ Cult hero Anton Newcombe is no stranger to collaborations and working with other musicians. As the ever–present leader of evergreen neo–psychedelic stalwarts The Brian Jonestown Massacre, he's worked with and produced countless artists, the most famous of which being The Dandy Warhols and third eye crusaders Dead Meadow. His latest collab sees Newcombe link up with Toronto born singer songwriter Tess Parks for joint album I Declare Nothing.
Ξ Parks, herself a successful solo artist following the release of brooding 2013 album Blood Hot, takes centre stage on I Declare Nothing. Her husky baritone vocals are intoxicating and otherworldly, offering a rare and unique voice scarcely crossed in recent years. So much does she dominate proceedings, you begin to forget that Newcombe has anything to do with the record at all. This is no mean feat when you consider the abundance of riches found in his own back catalogue. In fact, it's only by track five, the driving "Gone" that his unmistakeable voice enters the fray.
Ξ Where the lack of Newcombe’s vocal chords are noticeable, his production and guitar playing are stamped throughout I Declare Nothing. On lead single and Record Store Day release "Cocaine Cat" for instance, subtle use of varying percussion comes to the fore, whereas the epic solo and guitar outro of album highlight "Mama" could have only been played by the deft hands of Newcombe.Ξ Where the album falls down however is not in the musicianship, but the lack of variety when each song is broken down. The majority of the ten tracks on offer follow the same formulaic song structure and rarely break from the one set tempo, thus giving I Declare Nothing the effect of merely lumbering along to its conclusion and not stimulating repeat listens.
Ξ Fans of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and psychedelica in general will find plenty to enjoy on I Declare Nothing; from the haunting baritone of Tess Parks to the splendid arrangement and instrumentation of Anton Newcombe. However it's the lack of variety in song structures and tempos that stops the album reaching 'must listen' status. Still, a great soundtrack for any cosmic journey. Ξ http://www.drunkenwerewolf.com/REVIEW
BY JESSICA GOODMAN, 22 JUNE 2015, 11:30 BST; SCORE: 7/10
Ξ Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Tess Parks joined forces at the start of 2014. I Declare Nothing is the lingering consequence of their collaboration. Ξ Recorded in the heat of a Berlin summertime, their joint debut is forty minutes of scorching vocals and sweltering refrains, ambling rhythms and elated rhapsody.
Ξ Equal parts deep and blissed out, I Declare Nothing would be all too easy to switch off to and float away on. But dive beneath the tracks' shimmering surface, delve through the rich layers of sound, and you find yourself treated to something entirely more profound. Whether you want to tune out or zone in, I Declare Nothing provides the perfect setting.
Ξ The songs transition seamlessly one into another — one long, vivid stream of consciousness brought to life by ceaseless rhythms and intricate guitars. Tess Parks' husky vocals ring through your mind long after the sound fades away, words echoing cavernously through your thoughts.
Ξ With so many layers, you could all too effortlessly get lost in the world the duo have constructed for themselves. Elaborate and sprawling though the songs may be, their direct structure subtly ensures that the journey you take is the one you're guided on. There's no limit to the expanse of the imagination. As these broad soundscapes twist and evolve, it seems there's no limit to what this duo can achieve either.
Ξ Sauntering with it's own aptitude, "Melorist" is an album highlight. Hip–shaking guitars and trotting rhythms meet dulcet tones and sultry words, building to a cacophony of keyboard and chaos. The rest of the album sails smoother. "Cocaine Cat" — the first track to be unveiled from the album — set a potent template for everything that follows. Delectably dreamy, Tess Parks' bewitching vocals immerse you in a setting out of time and out of place. Classic aesthetics filter through innovation and layer upon layer of meandering sound.
Ξ Despite its stripped back structure, "German Tangerine" is one of the records strongest tracks, questioning the very nature of knowing who we are and what we want. "Gone" is as close as you get to a breakaway hit, complete with sweltering guitar solo and catchy vocal hooks. "Mama" is a chilling call to action, its all–out rock breakdown swimming through psychedelic effects as the vocals haze out of focus.
Ξ Parks and Newcombe might be declaring nothing, but the words uttered through this album are compelling enough to leave a long lasting impression. "I found a piece of paradise and I wanted to spread it all around" Tess Parks croons on "October 2nd" — it seems that's exactly what this duo are trying to do here. Having found a heaven in their collaboration, they've crafted a debut album together that proves both emotive and enchanting. Ξ http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/Artist Biography by Mark Deming
Ξ A singer and songwriter who describes her music as "lo–fi alternative drones with a hypnotic vibe," Tess Parks was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Parks grew up in a musical family and had a strong interest in both music and visual art from a young age. When she was 17, she left Canada for the U.K., moving to London to attend art school, where she planned to study photography. However, as she began to investigate the possibilities of the city, Parks abandoned art school, and though she began writing songs and attracting notice as a solo act, she was forced to return to Toronto when her visa ran out. Looking to resume her musical career, in Toronto Parks put out a call that she was looking for "sexy and talented musicians," and ended up assembling a backing band called the Good People featuring guitarist Andrew McGill, bassist Thomas Huntala, and multi–instrumentalist Thomas Paxton–Beesley. In early 2013, Parks and the Good People released an EP, Work All Day/Up All Night, which they financed themselves and released online through Bandcamp. Ξ During her time in London, Parks had struck up an acquaintance with Alan McGee, the legendary founder of Creation and Poptones Records; McGee helped guide the careers of the Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, two acts Parks has cited as influences. When McGee heard Parks' new music, he signed her to a record deal with his new label, 359 Music. Parks' first full–length album, Blood Hot, was released by 359 in November 2013.

The board of Keller Group plc (LON:KLR) has announced that it will pay a dividend on the 1st of July, with investors receiving UK£0.23 per share. Based on this payment, the dividend yield on the company's stock will be 4.3%, which is an attractive boost to shareholder returns.
Keller Group's Earnings Easily Cover the Distributions
Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. The last dividend was quite easily covered by Keller Group's earnings. This indicates that a lot of the earnings are being reinvested into the business, with the aim of fueling growth.
Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 8.9% over the next year. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 40%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.
Keller Group Has A Solid Track Record
Even over a long history of paying dividends, the company's distributions have been remarkably stable. The dividend has gone from UK£0.23 in 2012 to the most recent annual payment of UK£0.36. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 4.6% over that duration. While the consistency in the dividend payments is impressive, we think the relatively slow rate of growth is less attractive.
The Dividend Has Growth Potential
The company's investors will be pleased to have been receiving dividend income for some time. We are encouraged to see that Keller Group has grown earnings per share at 5.7% per year over the past five years. Shareholders are getting plenty of the earnings returned to them, which combined with strong growth makes this quite appealing.
Keller Group Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock
Overall, we like to see the dividend staying consistent, and we think Keller Group might even raise payments in the future. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company. Companies that are growing earnings tend to be the best dividend stocks over the long term.

All About Ear Mites
What are ear mites?
Ear mites are tiny parasites that live in a dog’s or cat’s ears and live off of wax, dead skin, and other debris. The most common ear mite species found in pets is called Otodectes cynotis. Once in the ear, the mite quickly multiplies, causing secondary health problems, such as inflammation and infection of the ears.
How do pets get ear mites?
Direct contact is all it takes for ear mites to be transmitted from one pet to another. Dogs can get ear mites, but they’re more common in felines because of the close contact cats have with other outdoor animals.
Can people get ear mites?
Ear mites can live in human ears, but infection is rare because they prefer animal hosts. In fact, there was an incident where one vet purposely contracted ear mites to see if it was possible; it took various attempts for him to finally be successful.
What are the symptoms of ear mites?
Ear mite symptoms in pets include shaking of the head, itchiness, irritation, inflamed ears, excess ear wax (usually dark brown in color), scabs or hair loss around the ears due to scratching, and foul ear odor. Schedule an appointment with your vet at the first sight of ear problems in your pet to prevent complications, such as an infection.
How are ear mites in cats and dogs diagnosed?
In some cases ear mites are big enough to be seen with the naked eyes, but microscopic evaluation is the best way to make an accurate diagnosis. Vets can also use a special ear instrument with magnification power to look into the ear and check for mites.
How are ear mites treated?
Ear mites in dogs and cats are treated with an ear solution prescribed by your vet. It will either be a one-time medication or require repeated applications. Before applying treatment, it’s important that your pet’s ears are thoroughly cleaned with a special solution so that the medication can evenly disperse in the ear.
Can ear mites be prevented in pets?
Even if only one pet has been diagnosed with ear mites, treating all of your pets at the same time can help prevent an infestation. Cleaning your pet’s belongings (bed, clothing, etc.) and disinfecting your home on a regular basis can also minimize the risks of an ear mite infestation.

This month we have an interview with Bhikkhu Anālayo, probably best known to students of Dhamma in the West for his 2004 book, Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization, which has since become a touchstone modern interpretation of that key sutta. He paid an informal visit to Barre earlier this summer as part of larger trip to the U.S. (He lives & teaches in Germany.)
Bhikkhu Anālayo graciously answered some questions for Insight Journal. His 2004 book, while very approachable for those with some knowledge of and interest in the Dhamma, was developed from his doctoral thesis. As such, formal practice was not a prime concern of that text. In 2013, however, he hopes to publish a follow-up book that applies much of what he has learned to how it might help us in our practice. (Please see the footnotes and links at the end of this interview for more on his writings.)
Insight Journal: Can you describe for us your path to the Dhamma? Those of us who know about you do so because of your very helpful book on the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. What else about you might be helpful for us to know about you?
Bhikkhu Anālayo: My main interest throughout has been and still is to change myself through meditation practice. Having meditated for a few years in the late eighties I realized that this is what I want to do with my life. So I went to Asia, where I did a retreat at the monastery of Ajahn Buddhadasa, after which the most logical thing to do was to ordain in order to do intensive practice. I lived as a ‘forest monk’ in a cave in Thailand and practiced, but without having real clarity about the Dharma. Somehow my practice did not really take off.
Then a friend made me read The Heart of Buddhist Meditation by Ven. Ñānaponika Thera and that completely changed the situation for me. I felt so grateful that I went to Sri Lanka to meet him, but on arrival I found out that he had just passed away a few days earlier. I stayed in Sri Lanka and practiced, but at the same time studied the Dharma, mainly under the guidance of Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi. This combination of scriptural study of the early discourses with the practice of intensive meditation is what runs like a red thread through my life.
IJ: Western interpretations of Dhamma have been through many filters, including 19th-century Romantic philosophy, Western psychology, and 5th-century Theravada (Visuddhimagga). What are the key misunderstandings that have been created, based on your understanding of the original Pali texts?
BA: Discussing such misunderstandings is a topic that would perhaps require more space and time, but maybe I just mention some tendencies? Sometimes I feel there is a lack of historical contextualization, so that ideas and doctrines that stem from a later period are not distinguished from early Buddhism. Without in any way wanting to downplay the importance of the explanations and methods that arose within the tradition, I believe it is good to be clear on what is early and what developed later.
Another trend is a kind of anti-intellectualism, according to which progress means leaving behind all knowledge and analytical thought. This is not the model of progress we get in early Buddhism.
IJ: You are clearly someone who has spent time both in serious study of Buddhadhamma texts and in practice as well. How do those two aspects complement each other? Is there a way to more explicitly combine them so that they inform each other?
BA: I try to make sure I always give priority to formal sitting meditation. Thus when I wrote the Satipaṭṭhāna book, I would go begging in the early morning and then do my research. In the afternoon I would go up hill to a little hut and just meditate the rest of the day, in this way spending half of my time in practice. Nowadays I work the whole day during half of the week, the other half of the week I am in silent retreat, sitting the whole day. In this way I continue spending half of my time in intensive silent meditation and everything else is nourished by that. I believe if we are able to give priority to the meditation then all else will eventually fall into place on its own accord.
IJ: Has your thinking about the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, about which you wrote the book, changed since then, as you have encountered those who have read the book?
BA: I have been teaching courses on Satipaṭṭhāna and the way students react to and approach various aspects of the discourse and how they implement these in their practice has been very helpful for my own understanding. At present I am preparing a follow up study on Satipaṭṭhāna that will be based on the Chinese Āgama sources and hopefully come out with Windhorse in late 2013, ten years after the original Satipaṭṭhāna book. The new book will be more practice related than my PhD, and it will have more translated text excerpts instead of just references to the sources.
IJ: Are there other classical texts that you focus on? Which others would you recommend for study, in particular?
BA: For me the really central source are the early discourses, which have been preserved in Pali, Sanskrit fragments, a few Tibetan translations and then for the most part in the Chinese Āgamas. Since so far only the Pali discourses are extant in translations into Western languages, I am trying to do my best to provide translations and studies of Chinese Āgama discourses in articles, many of which can be freely downloaded from the website that has my ‘list of publications’ at the University of Hamburg.* In general I think it is good to be familiar with the early discourses as much as one can, this really helps the practice in many ways.
Besides the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta there are several discourses helpful for insight meditation in the Middle Length Discourse Collection, of which we have the excellent translation by Bhikkhu Bodhi, such as the Smaller Discourse on Emptiness (MN 121, page 965), one of my favourites, which is preceded by the Discourse on Mindfulness of Breathing (MN 118, page 941) and the Discourse on Mindfulness of the Body (MN 119, page 949). Another option would be to go from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta to the Satipaṭṭhāna Saṃyutta, collected shorter sayings on the same topic of mindfulness meditation, where we are again indebted to Bhikkhu Bodhi for providing us with a reliable translation, Connected Discourses of the Buddha, pages 1627 to 1667. This whole last part of the Saṃyutta-Nikāya has much that is of relevance to the practitioner, so those willing to read might go through the entire Great Book, the Mahavagga.
IJ: It seems that one type of error that is frequent is looking for philosophical nuggets in the teachings, when in fact they seem to be completely pragmatic, practical, and focused on understanding and practice for liberation. Later traditions seem to be especially prone to philosophical systems and views. How can we test ourselves to avoid this kind of mistaken view?
BA: I think if we make meditation our priority, then what is excessive naturally will sooner or later fall away.
IJ: You are doing some work comparing the Pali Canon with related materials in the Chinese Āgamas. This is, I believe, a very active and fruitful area of academic research right now. What are the most important findings so far?
BA: The most important finding so far is the close resemblance of the parallel versions as far as essential aspects of the teachings are concerned. This makes core teachings found in the Pali discourses the common heritage of all Buddhist traditions and an important reference point for the follower of any Buddhist school.
Another important finding for me is to see the continuity of certain developments. One example is the bodhisattva ideal. Clearly in early Buddhism the idea to become a Buddha was unknown. Yet, in a book dedicated to the ‘Genesis of the Bodhisattva Ideal‘ I have been able to trace the very beginnings of what eventually became the bodhisattva ideal in the early discourses. Here particularly significant is the Acchariya-abbhuta Sutta (MN 123), as well as its Chinese parallels, but I guess to see what I have in mind you would have to read my book, which is fortunately available for free download.**
IJ: Scholars continue to investigate the origins and structure of the Pali Canon, such as which parts are the oldest, which suttas were possibly created later by combining parts of earlier ones, and so on. What are the most important questions here in your mind? Are there important insights into what the Buddha taught that we can gain? What are the most important issues that we might hope these inquiries could help us understand? Has your work with the Āgamas led to any such insights? What are the implications for practice?
BA: In my new book on Satipaṭṭhāna** I want to try to explore the way some academic insights can inform our practice. Just to give one example, from a comparative perspective we get the impression that the core practices of contemplation of the body were these three: the examination of its anatomical parts, seeing the body as made up of elements and the cemetery contemplations.
This certainly does not mean that mindfulness of breathing or of the postures of the body is not a form of mindfulness; they certainly are, in fact precisely because they are closely related to mindfulness we now find them in the Sarvastivada and the Theravada versions of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. But as far as we are able to tell through comparative study, these may not have been part of the historically earliest formulation of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta.
So the basic import of ‘contemplation of the body’ is to be found in these three exercises: anatomical parts, elements and cemetery contemplations. This in turn tells us what according to early Buddhism is central when practicing mindfulness of the body. That is, the first Satipaṭṭhāna appears to be not so much about using the body to establish mindfulness. Instead, it seem to be about using mindfulness to understand the true nature of the body as a means to developing detachment.

THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED ON THE TELEGRAPH.
Next time you reach for a bag of neatly trimmed chives on the supermarket shelf, stop and think how easy it would be to grow your own. Even the tiniest balcony or windowsill has room for a few pots of herbs.
It is immensely satisfying to snip your own parsley over a salad or to mix a few basil leaves in with a dish of tomatoes. Even if the vegetables are not home grown, the herbs easily can be.
Stick to the herbs you would normally buy and cook with (do not be tempted by obscure medicinal species) and grow them close to hand – outside by the back door or on the kitchen windowsill.
Many aromatic herbs are Mediterranean plants, so they need plenty of sunshine and excellent drainage – waterlogged soil spells death.
Although most herbs can be grown from seed, herb expert Jekka McVicar advises first-timers to start with small plants: “You’ll get quicker results for the kitchen that way, then you can progress to sowing seed the following year.”
Terracotta pots are ideal: they are porous so there is less risk of waterlogging. But any container will do as long as it has good drainage. Punch holes in the base of an old aluminium bucket, or a battered colander is perfect – just line it with hessian or newspaper to stop compost trickling out.

Learner engagement under the ‘regulatory gaze’: possibilities for re-positioning early childhood pre-service teachers as autonomous professionals
Taylor & Francis Group
© 2016 TACTYC
In a climate of increasing regulation within the early childhood education and care services (ECECS), and the greater re-positioning of professionals within public sectors, this article seeks to extend the literature surrounding risk and regulation in early childhood. In efforts to ‘push back’ against the ‘regulatory gaze’ in the ECECS, we investigate the role that learner engagement in initial teacher education can play in empowering early childhood pre-service teachers (PSTs) as professionals. This question is explored in the reporting of the findings from an action research study which redesigned a semester-long teacher education topic to draw on PSTs’ self-knowledge, applied experience and content choice, to go beyond the meeting of minimum credential requirements. Data were derived from sequential student evaluations and topic coordinators’ reflections and subsequent analysis highlights significant insights in relation to student teachers’ understanding of professionalism and their role within the ECECS. The implications of this re-positioning of PSTs’ developing sense of professionalism amidst increasing regulation are discussed.

In this article, we delve into the details of Doritos Jacked, exploring its distinctive features, flavor profile, and the overall impact it made on the snack scene.
The Special Treatment: A New Logo
The unveiling of Doritos Jacked came with a surprising twist – a new logo exclusive to this flavor. The Ranch Dipped Hot Wings variant received an entirely fresh branding, not seen on any other Doritos flavors or promotional materials. This raised eyebrows, considering the two other Jacked flavors, Enchilada Supreme and Smoky Chipotle BBQ, retained the classic logo. The revelation took a turn when it became apparent that this wasn’t just a new logo for the “Jacked” sub-brand but for the entire Doritos range.
Ranch Dipped Hot Wings: A Familiar Twist
The choice of flavor, Ranch Dipped Hot Wings, might seem like a familiar territory for Doritos enthusiasts. Hot wings-inspired snacks have been explored before in various formats, such as the “Collisions” version with blue cheese and a combination of Blazin’ Buffalo & Ranch. However, Doritos Jacked brought a unique twist to the table by not just tweaking the flavor but by “Jacking” up the standard Doritos formula.
Bigger, Bolder, Thicker: The Doritos Jacked Experience
The most noticeable feature of Doritos Jacked is, undoubtedly, the size and thickness of the chips. The isosceles triangles break the mold with sides measuring over 3-1/2 inches, providing a visual and textural departure from the classic Doritos. The chips are not only bigger but also thicker, promising a bolder crunch that sets them apart from the regular tortilla chips.
Flavor Explosion: A Crunchy Adventure
Opening the Doritos Jacked bag is an experience in itself. The orange-red chips almost seem to glow, thanks to the foil packaging, creating a visually striking impression. Pouring them onto a plate reveals their true size, and the anticipation builds. The first crunch confirms the promise of a bolder experience – thicker, harder, and undeniably crunchier than their non-Jacked counterparts.
The Heat and Harmony of Flavor
The flavor profile of Ranch Dipped Hot Wings is a dance between heat and creaminess. The chips pack a reasonably strong level of heat, a testament to the “hot wings” inspiration. However, the ranch element, though present, plays a subtle role, almost overpowered by the dominating hot sauce. It’s a tasty heat, not reaching the super-hot intensity of Fiery Habanero but bold enough to make its mark in the realm of Doritos flavors.
The Tangy Aroma: A Prelude to Flavor
Before the first crunch, the Doritos Jacked experience begins with the smell test. A good tangy ranch aroma wafts from the bag, setting the stage for the forthcoming flavor explosion. Surprisingly, the smell doesn’t hint at the level of heat awaiting the taste buds, creating an intriguing contrast between aroma and taste.
Doritos Jacked, with its Ranch Dipped Hot Wings flavor, proves to be a game-changer in the snack world. The bigger, bolder, and thicker chips, coupled with the intense heat and subtle ranch undertones, offer a unique snacking experience. The special treatment with a new logo adds an element of exclusivity, making it a standout in the Doritos lineup. As the packaging boldly challenges, “Can you handle it?” – Doritos Jacked invites snack enthusiasts to embark on a crunchy adventure that defies the ordinary.

Advantages to having a pet reptile
Reptiles are fast becoming popular pets in the UK. Of course the front runners are dogs and cats, as you'd expect, however scaly and shelled pets are firmly in the running. Amongst the most popular types are Bearded Dragons, Geckos, such as Leopard Geckos and Crested types, Corn Snakes and Tortoises. Maybe it's the prehistoric link that makes them so appealing, or their striking features.
A common theme among reptiles is their quiet, calm nature. If you don't want to add noise or too much commotion to your household, then this is a good choice. That doesn't mean that a reptile is boring however, when kept in the ideal environment they will behave as naturally as possible which means you can watch them in all their glory. Handled sufficiently, they can be affectionate and fun.
Speaking of environment, this can be a costly outlay at first. However it is imperative that your reptile has the right equipment. Many desert dwellers such as Bearded Dragons, need a good UVB light to promote healthy skeletal growth, a good immune system and gleaming eyes and skin. They will also need a good quality vivarium or terrarium, substrate and a basking lamp to keep him warm. A key point to remember that once all the kit is in place, there is little cost, other than food.
Another key financial advantage of owning a reptile is the lack of vet's costs. Reptiles don't need yearly vaccines and unless there is a health concern, need only visit the vet once a year for a check-up.
If you have Asthma, Eczema or allergies or children that do, a reptile is a great pet. Free from the risk of fur which can cause sometimes serious reactions, a reptile can allow your family the pleasure of a pet. It's important to mention that reptiles are not recommended for children under 5, due to the risk of salmonella poisoning. With older children and adults, good hand washing after touching the reptile is vital to avoid contamination.
Reptiles are a long term investment, some can live for up to 20 years, and tortoises and turtles can live for even longer. So it's worth thinking about this before you take one on. However as with other long term pets, they soon become a part of the family. Tortoises are often passed from one generation to the next, as they live so long.
If you have a hectic schedule, then a reptile is perfect for you. They don't need walking or taking out to the loo, so great for those with little time. They also don't need feeding every day, depending on the type you have. There are various forms of food available too, from frozen to live, so if you are a little squeamish you don't have to wrestle with crickets and mealworms.
The best way to decide upon the reptile for you, is to do as much research as possible. Forewarned is forearmed! The whole family can get involved in this, so that you all know as much as possible about the pet you decide on.

According to the mental health charity MIND, mental health problems like anxiety, depression and unmanageable stress affect one in six British workers each year. In 2013, there were 8.2 million cases of anxiety in the UK, and this number is increasing – in part due to our busier, longer working lives.
The likelihood is that a workplace will never be completely free of anxiety (defined as a mild or severe feeling of unease, worry or fear). Situations like completing an important project, managing a team or meeting deadlines are all common work situations which, though for some offer challenge and interest, can also make some people feel under pressure. And for some people, these feelings of anxiety can become more constant and can negatively affect their daily lives (e.g. generalised anxiety disorder).
The key is to ensure that any anxiety-inducing situations are well-managed and employees feel supported. As a manager, if you are aware that somebody is struggling with issues or difficulties outside of work, this might impact on their ability to deal with stressful situations in work. Open and sensitive discussions can be enormously helpful for employees who are beginning to struggle.
Employees can often find it difficult to speak up about work-related anxiety; mental health can still feel like a taboo subject to discuss in a work setting. This means that in many cases managers may have to take the lead in identifying anxiety in their workplace.
The following exercises can help you to recognise whether there may be higher levels of anxiety in your organisation:
- Have a look around the workplace at lunch time today. How many employees are eating lunch at their workstations? Not being able to take a proper break for lunch can increase anxiety levels, as a lunch break gives employees the chance to reboot and prepare for the afternoon’s work. Employers should actively encourage a break away from the workplace.
- When you leave the workplace at night, make a note of how many staff members are still working. Employees having to frequently work late because their workload is too high means they may feel overloaded and will not have a sufficient chance to unwind in the evenings.
- Have a think – how often have you and your staff socialised together in the last three months? Being able to go out together as a group, whether that’s for lunch, a drink after work or exercising, can make sure that staff members feel part of a strong support system and valued for their contribution.
If you think your workplace may have a problem with anxiety, there are many resources out there to help. The mental health charity Mind have a useful guide to mentally well workplaces, and the Health and Safety Initiative also have a guide for employers on tackling work-related stress.
Employers and employees can also phone the free Fit for Work advice line on 0800 032 6235 to speak to a dedicated advisor about anxiety in the workplace.

Motorola has just announced that the Droid X2 will be going on sale at Verizon’s online store starting May 19 (tomorrow!), and hitting brick-and-mortar locations on the 26th. as expected. Pricing is set at $199.99 on a two-year contract.
The Droid X2 has some big shoes to fill after the original Droid X, but it does bring a lot to the table: 4.3-inch 960 x 540 display (plus HDMI-out and DLNA media sharing over Wi-Fi b/g/n if’n you need a bigger screen), dual-core 1 GHz processor with 512 MB of RAM, and an 8 megapixel camera with flash that can take 720p video. Although it’s launching with Android 2.2, Motorola confirms the DX2 will be upgradeable to 2.3 Gingerbread. Speaking of software, the X2 will come preloaded with Swype for easy gesture-based typing, and Flash for those hungry for video in the native browser.
May 26 is also the day that Verizon will be launching the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and the LG Revolution; sounds like it’ll be a busy day for retail staff. Anyone itching for an upgrade, or are 4G models like the Samsung Droid Charge catching your eye instead?

While at the local convenience store/deli in the tiny, tiny town of Cashton on Friday night a few weeks back, I noted a sight that gave me some pause. I live in a part of Western Wisconsin that happens to have a large Amish community, and I’ve grown up seeing them all around. I’ve seen them walking along the side of the road as my loud, yellow bus flies by; I’ve met them coming into or out of town in their buggies in the rain, snow, sleet, and shine; I’ve gone with Dad on countless trips to Amish homes, and have been stared at by the younger children, wide eyes and little pink mouths slightly ajar. For me, the Amish are a part of life in Western Wisconsin, but I know this is not the case in most of the rest of the country.
This is why I was suddenly struck by the rarity of what happened on that Friday night. It was around 9 o’clock at night when a group of three or four Amish walked in, a woman and a couple of men. Dressed in their somber grays, blacks, and navy blues, they made quite a contrast against the shelves of snack foods which blared gold, blue, purple, and green loudly off their plastic covered wrappings. They went about their business, speaking in quiet tones, and ordered a round of sub sandwiches from the deli section. Then, they stood back to wait, leaning a little awkwardly against the wall. The woman sipped a container of Pepsi, and glanced around nonchalantly. Perhaps they were on their way back from an Amish wedding or church service. They looked like any travel-weary person, just waiting for a bite to eat and then back to the open road. The main difference: these travelers wouldn’t be hopping into a Buick or a Honda-they got to look forward to a bumpy buggy ride home, with a tired horse to take them there.
What I loved most about this simple occurrence was how my friends handled it. They’ve both grown up in the area and did not even blink when the Amish came in. In fact, I was the only one who noted these quiet folk as they went about their simple way of living, sipping soda under the fluorescent lights.

Sweet and Spicy Cabbage and Peanut Slaw
You are in for a real zing with fresh ginger and red pepper flakes, but the real surprise here is Napa cabbage... Can we say YUM!
- 1 ½ - 2 pound napa cabbage, quartered, cored and very thinly sliced in 1/8-inch ribbons
- 3 large carrots, shredded on the large holes of a box grater or cut into matchsticks
- 1 seedless cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
- ½ cup thinly bias-sliced green onions (4 to 6)
- 1 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
In a very large bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green onions, peanuts, mint and cilantro; set aside.
In a small bowl or screw-top jar, whisk or shake together the lime juice, sugar, rice vinegar and soy sauce until sugar is dissolved. Add ginger, canola oil, sesame oil and crushed red pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad—you may not use all of it—and toss well. Add salt, and toss again. Chill, covered, for up to 4 hours before serving.
Prepping Napa Cabbage: Like other cabbages, cut the head into quarters through the base. Submerge the quarters in cold water to rinse them, in several rounds if needed until the water is clean. Shake off excess water and pat them dry. Release the leaves from the core by cutting it at angle. This way, you will remove just the base and salvage all the leaves. Stack several leaves at a time and cut them as thin as you can, crosswise at least 1/8-inch. You may want to cut any wide, outer leaves in half lengthwise before slicing the cabbage crosswise. A food processor is extremely helpful in breaking down a large head of cabbage. Attach the thinnest slicing blade and cut the cabbage in narrow pieces to fit in the top feed tube.
And just like that you have 3 new awesome dishes to add to your cookbook. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

The Council verge as the next wetland: TREENET and the cities of Mitcham and Salisbury investigate
Spatial pressures in many contemporary cities restrict the construction of surface wetlands of the scales necessary to deliver storm water management and ecosystem services. Alternative means are able to deliver some of these services by harvesting storm water at source and storing it in soils beneath road verges where it can irrigate urban trees and other vegetation. By incorporating vegetation into this storm water management infrastructure both water harvesting rates and storage capacities can be increased. If integrated with street infrastructure on a large scale, water sensitive urban design features and associated vegetation have the potential to make major contributions to improved human health, environmental quality and flood risk mitigation. Infrastructure established to support preliminary investigations in the cities of Mitcham and Salisbury has demonstrated problem-free function of storm water harvesting for street tree irrigation at the local level over seven years.

The desert stretches close to the shores on the Nile’s west bank at Aswan. Situated in this uninhabited location is the Monastery of St Simeon. The Coptic monks established it in the 17th century. The monastery was first dedicated to Saint Anba Hedra. After its reconstruction in the 10th century, it was dedicated to Saint Simeon.
A ten-meter high wall surrounds the mud-brick and stone structure, giving it a fortress-like appearance. The impressive walls protect the monks from threats and even the Bedouin raiders. Sadly, troops of Saladin destroyed part of the monastery in 1173. St. Simeon Monastery was never rebuilt after the attack. It was abandoned in the 13th century.
The monastery housed about three hundred monks. It provided accommodation for around a hundred pilgrims. Inside the monastery complex are the church and other structures that are necessary for the monks’ simple lives. From their quiet abode in the desert, the monks went on a missionary journey to Nubia. Their goal was to convert the locals to Christianity.
Despite the long period of disuse, it is well-preserved. The basilica and monks’ cells still create an atmosphere of monastic life. The ruins of the monastery are part of the rich history of the Egyptians.
What to Expect When you Visit The Monastery of St Simeon?
Though the monastery has been abandoned, there are interesting things you can see at the site. The bench beds used by the monks are still in the cells. There are still traces of wall painting at the basilica. Also, the walls of the last pilgrim room on the right have graffiti on them. The graffiti was daubed by a Muslim pilgrim who stayed in the monastery before it was attacked.
Besides, you can explore Saint Simeon’s chamber. Legend has it that he spent several hours each time praying in the room. During long prayer sessions, he used to attach his beard to the ceiling. A tug on the fastened beard will wake him if he fell asleep during prayers. And if you are a history or Christian student, you will find the monastery ruins interesting. You will have the opportunity to learn more about Coptic Christianity.
Besides the monastery, there are other interesting sites to visit on the island. You can also visit the Tombs of the Nobles. It is the site of ancient Egyptian tombs of the Old Kingdom. The Tombs of the Nobles is the burial place of the Old and Middle dignitaries of Swenet, an ancient town of Elephantine Island. However, there are also tombs from the Roman era at the site. What to expect on a visit to the Monastery of St Simeon.
Visitors can take a ferry or hire a private boat for a ride to the Nile’s west bank. On arrival at the island, you will see locals with camels for hire. You can either hire a camel or walk up the track to get to the monastery. If you want to hire a camel, negotiate for a good rate with the owner. Let the person know how long you will use the camel.
However, hiring a camel will enable you to reach other attraction sites on the island aside from the monastery ruins.
What to Do When You Visit The Monastery of St Simeon?
Though the monastery has been deserted, you can explore the structures. The site is worth the visit. You will see the monks’ cells, where they cook, and the church. You will also have a feel of the calm atmosphere which the monks sought in the desert. You can also have a look at the traces of frescoes at the church and the graffiti on the walls of one of the pilgrims’ rooms.
The monastery is a beautiful site and ruins are well-preserved. The view of the fortress-like monastery as you approach it is breathtaking. Inside the monastery complex, you will have fun clambering over the ruins as you explore the site. The ruins will leave you imagining the simple life the monks lived at the monastery years ago.
The Monastery of St Simeon is not the only attraction on the island. You can also visit the Aga Khan Mausoleum and the Tombs of the Noble. The magnificent mausoleum perched on a hill on the west bank. The building displays loyalty and adds to the history of the island. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public.
Located at the foothills on the west bank are royal tombs known as the Tombs of the Nobles. These tombs have cryptic messages written on them. They also have paintings about life in ancient times. You can easily visit other sites on the island if you hire a camel.
You can join one of our guided tours in Aswan, visit all of these amazing sites, and get your an unforgettable experience.

The White House announced on Monday that the United States, Germany, Belize, Indonesia, and Senegal will host the second global Covid-19 summit in May. With COVID-19 propaganda becoming less effective, the ruling classes are desperate to keep it forefront in the minds of the masses.
Even the mainstream media has admitted that the COVID propaganda has winded down quite a bit. A report by RT stated: While the pandemic has been pushed from the headlines in recent months, the Biden administration said a summit is necessary to “bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security.” It sure seems like the rulers need everyone to continue to focus on this scamdemic.
The summit will be held virtually on May 12th. “The emergence and spread of new variants, like Omicron, have reinforced the need for a strategy aimed at controlling Covid-19 worldwide,” read a statement from the White House. “Together, we can mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and protect those at the highest risk with vaccinations, testing, and treatments, actions to minimize disruption to routine health services, and through support for the ACT-Accelerator multilateral mechanism,” the latter a reference to a World Health Organization (WHO) program for financing vaccines and treatment.
According to WhiteHous.gov, the first goal is to get more “shots in arms.” Note the use of the word “shots” not “vaccines.”
The Summit will build on the themes and commitments made at the first Summit and will place an emphasis on supporting locally-led solutions to both immediate and long-term challenges, including:
- Getting shots into arms; –White House.gov
This Summit follows the first Global COVID-19 Summit convened by the United States on September 22, 2021. In advance of the May 12 Summit, we are calling on world leaders, members of civil society, non-governmental organizations, philanthropists, and the private sector to make new commitments and bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security — for everyone, everywhere.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the #COVIDSummit. Like @POTUS said, together we can end the pandemic for all and build back better to prevent and prepare for future pandemics. pic.twitter.com/V4LftVFwPN
— National Security Council (@WHNSC) September 24, 2021
This is becoming obvious that the whole scamdemic was about these injections. The ruling classes of the world need everyone to take these shots. After all, that’s when the entire pandemic finally comes to an end so they can usher in the Great Reset and New World Order digital currency to enslave permanently the masses.

On Monday, a cryptocurrency data network run by some of Wall Street’s biggest players showed a nearly 90% drop in Bitcoin, a glitch that didn’t appear on other platforms. Bitcoin Crashed to $5,402 in Error on Network Backed by Quants
Supporters hail the platform, dubbed Pyth, as an industrial-grade source for pricing information on assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. Finance behemoths like Jump Trading Group, DRW, and FTX are among the contributors.
Bitcoin’s price was briefly reported as $5402 on Monday. “Engineers are investigating the cause and a full report is in the works,” Pyth tweeted on Monday. Pyth has not tweeted in the meantime.
Between 12:21 and 12:23 UTC the Pyth BTCUSD aggregate price was below $40,000 – the lowest price reported was $5,402 with a confidence interval of $21,623 (4x the asset reported price) for a single slot – which was off-market relative to the BTC price available on other markets
— Pyth (@PythNetwork) September 20, 2021
This is an eye-catching error for a system that gets its information from some of the most sophisticated traders. The data needs to be something people can rely on for something like this to succeed, said Joe Molluso, co-president, and co-chief operating officer of Pyth contributor Virtu Financial Inc.
The root cause of the problem as told by Pyth was because of a combination of (1) two Pyth publishers posting near-zero BTC/USD prices and (2) the aggregation logic overweighting the contributions of these two Pyth publishers. Both publishers encountered problems related to decimal numbers.
During the 2-minute window of the incident, the first publisher submitted their price as a floating-point number when this utility expected an integer, and the second publisher encountered a race condition between two programs that caused them to read 0 for BTC/USD instead of 10-8.
On Tuesday, everything seemed to be back to normal. Bitcoin’s price was recently set at $41,888, which is close to current levels. It’s the second recent problem. Pyth connects to the Solana blockchain, which stopped working for more than 17 hours last week. That outage also took down Pyth.
It’s unclear how widespread any issues resulting from the Bitcoin plunge on Pyth were. The decline “caused a series of liquidation events on the Audaces protocol BTC-PERP market (unfortunately working as intended),” according to the Bonfida Twitter account. Audaces is Bonfida’s perpetual futures platform.

text: The cellular epigenetic landscape changes as pluripotent stem cells differentiate to somatic cells or when differentiated cells transform to a cancerous state. BrdU peaks in hESCs. Our data reveal a unique epigenetic signature that distinguishes active replication loci in hESCs from normal somatic or malignant cells. promotes H3K18 and H4 acetylation and activation or increased firing efficiency at origins.12 In humans, H4K20me2/3 recruit ORC to chromatin through direct binding with ORC1 and ORCA.13,14 Certain histone modifications also correlate with replication timing and ORC binding in P P P P P P value < 1e-300, Fig.?4E). Similarly, we did not detect enrichment of H4K20me1 levels in HeLa S3 and K562 leukemia cells at the genomic regions that in H1 hESCs the BrdU peaks overlapped with H4K20me1 (Fig. S4B). Taken together, our analysis shows NVP-ADW742 that H3K18ac, H3K56ac, and H4K20me1 are enriched at the regions of active DNA replication mainly in hESCs and correlate positively with the intensity of BrdU peaks. The H1-IMR90-Saos-2 shared peaks of BrdU are associated with high level of histone marks in hESCs and conserved DNA sequences across vertebrates To rule out that the association of histone modifications with DNA replication occur at H1-specific BrdU peaks, we divided the BrdU peaks into those that are shared between H1, IMR90, and Saos-2 cells and those that are unique to H1 (1167 vs 2813 BrdU peaks, respectively). The average levels of BrdU Gpc4 intensity was much higher in shared regions than in H1 specific regions. The shared regions also had higher levels of H3K18ac, H3K56ac, and H4K20me1 while NVP-ADW742 H1 specific regions showed low levels of histone modifications (Fig.?5A). Gene ontology analysis indicated that the shared peaks were associated with differentiation genes while H1 unique peaks were linked to embryonic development genes (Fig.?5B). Furthermore, the shared BrdU regions had higher degree of DNA sequence conservation among vertebrates compared with H1-specific BrdU peaks (Fig.?5C). Thus the shared BrdU regions account for most of NVP-ADW742 the enrichment observed for the associated histone modifications, indicating that patterns of histone modifications are indeed different at the same replicating regions between hESCs and differentiated cells. Figure?5. The BrdU peaks shared by the three cell types are preferentially associated with histone marks in hESCs and conserved DNA sequences. (A) Average levels of BrdU incorporation and histone modifications in hESCs at the center of BrdU peaks … EP300/CREBBP depletion decreases global BrdU incorporation in hESCs EP300 and CREBBP are the main HATs for H3K18 and H3K56.11,30 We therefore tested whether EP300 and CREBBP were required for DNA replication in hESCs. Since EP300 and CREBBP are largely redundant in acetylation of H3K18,30 we co-transfected siRNAs against both genes into hESCs and performed BrdU-seq (Table S1). As shown in Figure?6A, EP300 and CREBBP protein levels decreased ~85C90% upon knockdown. Levels of H3K18ac and H3K56ac also decreased dramatically after knockdown, indicating that EP300/CREBBP were responsible for the bulk of H3K18ac and H3K56ac in hESCs. Figure?6. EP300 and CREBBP HATs are required for normal pattern of BrdU incorporation in hESCs. (A) Western blots and signal quantifications of the indicated factors are NVP-ADW742 shown for control (ctrl) and KD of EP300/CREBBP in H1 hESCs. (B) Distribution … The number of BrdU peaks decreased from 5086 in control siRNA to 1755 in EP300/CREBBP KD hESCs. Depletion of EP300/CREBBP also significantly decreased BrdU blocks from 296 to 33. The remaining BrdU peaks after KD were similarly distributed across the genome with 42.2% and 49.5% of peaks in introns and distal intergenic regions, respectively (Fig.?6B). The majority (64%) of the BrdU peaks in EP300/CREBBP KD cells still occurred within DNA repeats (Table S3) and were associated with negative regulators of cell proliferation such as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, genes involved in cell morphogenesis and cell fate commitment (Fig.?6C). Among the 1755 BrdU peaks in KD cells,.

Kybella is a cutting-edge, modern treatment that is fast becoming one of the most popular options for those seeking non-surgical solutions to an aesthetic issue that is causing them concern.
The results delivered by Kybella are permanent, it is a safe treatment and the process itself is straightforward and has no lengthy recovery period.
However, while Kybella is rapidly growing in popularity, many are still naturally not sure quite what it is, how it works or why they should choose it.
In this post, we will answer those key questions.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a fat-dissolving treatment with a very specific purpose. Kybella is solely used in the treatment of double chin fat – submental fat to use the medical term.
The treatment works via a series of precisely placed injections across the under chin area.
Kybella injections include synthetic deoxycholic acid. The human body naturally produces deoxycholic acid and uses it to break down fat, specifically dietary fat.
The injections therefore stimulate fat reduction in the area where they are injected.
They do this by breaking down the fat cells, before then expelling them via the lymphatic system over the course of 6-8 weeks.
Unlike some other fat-loss treatments, Kybella is not used for multiple areas of the body. It has been developed specifically for treating double chin fat, delivering stunning results where this condition is a cause for concern.
How does Kybella work?
When injected, the synthetic deoxycholic acid-based solution starts to destroy fat cells immediately. These cells then cannot store fat any more.
Unlike many other non-surgical treatments, this therefore means Kybella produces permanent results as the fat is gone for good.
While your practitioner will ensure the treatment is as pain-free as possible, this procedure requires great care from both the injector and the patient. It is normal to experience swelling and redness post-treatment, and you will be given aftercare instructions which are important to follow.
Kybella injections can only be administered by specially trained experts. In the UK, VIVA Skin Clinics is one of a small number of clinics who do offer fat-dissolving injections.
During each treatment, a number of injections will be made with a very fine needle after the skin has been numbed with an anaesthetic cream.
It is also usual to have more than one treatment session, this so that results can be monitored and the desired final result arrived at.
It is important that these appointments are adequately spaced in order to give the lymphatic system enough time to flush out the blitzed fat cells. Issuing Kybella treatments too closely could lead to the potential risk of overcorrection.
Why is Kybella so popular?
Kybella is not the only option for treating a double chin. Alternative options such as body sculpting and fat freezing exist.
However, Kybella & fat-dissolving injections like Celluform & AQUALYX do have many advantages.
Two crucial reasons for choosing Kybella are that it delivers the desired results and it is also a completely safe treatment, with full FDA approval and other regulatory approval.
We could discuss the results in great length, but it is far better to look at images of those who have undergone this form of injection, with images from before and after a full cycle of treatment.
The official Kybella site has superb examples of patients before and after treatment.
These are fair photos, by this we mean untouched photos and images taken under the same lighting conditions for both the before and after shots. They are a true reflection of what Kybella can achieve.
Kybella is also proven to work as shown by the testimonials and independent reviews from those who have undergone this treatment.
On the Real Patient Ratings site, 92% of those who have rated Kybella say they would recommend it and more than three quarters give this treatment the full five stars. This is a statistically significant group too, taken from hundreds of reviews.Â
Who is Kybella suitable for?
Broadly speaking, Kybella is a treatment for anyone who is concerned about unwanted fat under the chin – perhaps a visible double chin or feeling the pocket of fat beneath the chin doesnâ€™t shift even with regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Our bodies have a tendency to hang on to fat deposits in certain areas. The area will vary from person to person but submental fat is common.
However hard we exercise, however good our diet, this fat can remain. While the body likes to hang on to deposits, we, as the owners of said bodies, are less keen.
Kybella is for those who simply want this one issue addressed. They want their double chin gone.
The treatment can only be used for adults over the age of 18, and your full medical history would be taken into account. We screen all patients for Body Dysmorphia to safeguard against harmful mental effects.
However, in the vast majority of cases, a person will be suitable for Kybella.
It is worth noting that Kybella is not a treatment for obesity or overall weight loss. It is a treatment that improves the appearance of the chin region.
Kybella vs Other Treatments
Kybella has emerged as the go-to choice for treating a double chin because it has advantages over other options.
Unlike full surgery, it is not invasive, it does not involve cutting of the skin, stitching or lengthy recovery.
Indeed, it is hard to see why anyone would opt for surgery over a non-surgical option that produces such great results.
The aim is for you to still look like yourself, only better – that bit more youthful, with a concern assuaged.
Kybella is quick to administer with treatments typically taking just 15 to 20 minutes. It is also a relatively affordable treatment.
While there is no guaranteed downtime as with surgical solutions to tackling submental fat, patients may experience some discomfort in the days following treatment. It’s normal to experience swelling, redness and tenderness in the treated area.
It is worth noting that while YouTube videos exist on alternative exercises and creams that may address a double chin, these have no scientific backing.
Â No amount of strange chin exercises will address submental fat.
We cannot target areas of fat with exercise. Our jogging and gym sessions all contribute to comprehensive weight loss across the body instead of specific areas. While it is true you can train specific muscle groups, this does not encourage further weight loss in that area.
Tackling an issue such as a double chin in a prompt manner requires some form of intervention or treatment. It is our belief that fat-dissolving injections offer a strong potential solution.
Recovery from Kybella Injections
Kybella is a treatment that does not lead to major side effects. It is common to experience swelling and some localised pain from the injections, as well as redness and tenderness in the treated area. Any immediate discomfort is minimised due to anaesthetic cream being applied prior to injections.
As with any treatment, there is also a much smaller risk of more severe complication, in the case of Kybella this can include some trouble swallowing after treatment, ulcers and bruising.
At a detailed consultation, your practitioner would discuss the recovery process in full and also be available post-treatment to answer any concerns or queries.
With full results achieved after a number of treatments, your progress will of course be monitored and any concerns quickly addressed.
If you have submental fat you would like to see gone, then the next step would be to arrange an obligation-free consultation.
In Tunbridge Wells & London, VIVA Skin Clinics is an approved expert in the use of fat-dissolving injections and we would be delighted to answer any queries you may have or book you in for an initial conversation.

In recent years DAOs have been heralded as a powerful stimulus for experimentation to reshape new cultural value systems for interdependence, cooperation, and care. At a time when the mainstream artworld is focused on NFTs, this book refocuses attention toward DAOs as potentially the most radical blockchain technology for the arts, in the long term. Contributors engage with both past and emergent methodologies for building resilient and mutable systems for scale-free mutual aid. Collectively, the book aims to evoke and conjure new imaginative communities, and to share the practices and blueprints for the vehicles to get there.
Decentralised Autonomous Organisations and the Arts
Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) offer unique tools for translocal peers to encode rules, relations and values into their joint ventures using blockchain technology. This new book, edited by Ruth Catlow and Penny Rafferty, who have been at the forefront of investigations into the relationship between DAOs and the arts, constitutes over 5 years of research with essays, interviews, exercises and prototypes from leading thinkers, artists and technologists across this emerging field.

text: Aim: To investigate the apoptotic mechanism of pseudolaric acid B (PAB) in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Methods: 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-di-phenyltetrazolium bromide analysis and morphological changes were applied to detect apoptosis. The percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells were calculated by the lactate dehydrogenase activity-based cytotoxicity assay, and the protein expression was examined by Western blot analysis. Results: PAB and/or the mitogen-activated protein kinases, including p38, c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), did not participate in necrosis. P38 had no obvious function on apoptosis after 4 μmol/L PAB treatment for 36 h, but PAB induced JNK phosphorylation and inhibited ERK phosphorylation in the apoptotic process. In this study the inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) genistein inverted the inhibitory effect of PAB, instead promoting the survival of MCF-7 cells. Like genistein, another PTK inhibitor AG1024 had a similar effect on PAB-treated MCF-7 cells, indicating that PAB activated PTK to induce apoptosis. Together with PAB, genistein increased the expression of p-ERK, and decreased the expressions of JNK and p-JNK in PAB-treated MCF-7 cells at 36 h. And it is considered that the p-ERK and p-JNK were active patterns of ERK and JNK, respectively. Conclusion: PTK were upstream of ERK and JNK, and PTK induced apoptosis through activating JNK and inactivating ERK in PAB-treated MCF-7 cells.

What is ESTHER
ESTHER Switzerland contributes to the promotion of institutional health partnerships worldwide. We understand institutional health partnerships as a collaborative relationship between at least two institutions based on trust, equity and mutual interest to work as peers towards common objectives. The partnerships contribute to the improvement of health services through reciprocal institutional strengthening, capacity building and health workforce development. ESTHER Switzerland partners work in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) to tackle priority issues for health and help achieve the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs). The focus lies on SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
ESTHER Switzerland aims at effective north-south and south-south partnerships that can build capacity of the health workforce and health institutions and ultimately contribute to Health System Strengthening.
Promote reciprocal and mutually beneficial partnerships between Swiss health actors, universities and NGOs and health institutes in low- and middle-income countries with the overall aim of health system strengthening.
ESTHER Switzerland responds to the paradigm shift in development work from conditionality-driven, aid dominated north–south relationships to a greater emphasis on partnership. ESTHER Switzerland recognizes the need to put committed developing country governments and their people at the centre of their development process by emphasizing the importance of collaborative needs assessment, respectful partnerships and shared accountability.
ESTHER Switzerland fills a gap in the Swiss development work by bringing together Swiss based health actors and Swiss implementing partners at the global level. ESTHER Switzerland provides an opportunity to the Swiss health expertise to be put to use and valued at global level, while fostering learning between health systems in two ways.
We believe that health actors from all backgrounds can learn and benefit from each other. We believe that only by working together at an equal level can we contribute to improving the quality of health services delivery and influence health policy. We are bringing health actors together.
ESTHER (Ensemble pour une Solidarité Thérapeutique Hospitalière En Réseau) was founded by France in 2001 with an initial focus on HIV/AIDS. Over the following years other European countries joined the ESTHER initiative. Switzerland joined the European ESTHER Alliance in 2011, also focusing on HIV/AIDS and reproductive health. In 2020, ESTHER Switzerland is entering its second phase of partnership funding, with a general focus on Health System Strengthening in low- and middle-income countries. There are no restrictions in terms of health topics. ESTHER Switzerland was originally hosted by the HUG, Geneva. Since 2016 it moved to the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine at the University of Bern.

Bought a 99 sporty with 11000 km\´s on it. After a week, i found an oil leak then we found that the pistons had to be replaced, valves had to be ground out. New cvr seal kit and new exhaust port gaskets. Is this normal wear and tear for a sporty with 11000 km\´s? Or is it excessive? Ridden hard? Not broken in properly? Any info or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Question about Computer Monitors
I plugged it up, and when it turns on, the picture is fine, but after a few minutes the picture starts to distort, the picture starts to get blurry as everything on my desktop display starts to move as if it was rippling like motion in water, and then the display is not readable at all. I tried to adjust the contrast and the brightness and this does not stop the movement, or help at all.
Sounds like a problem with the graphics card or on board video. Please state which one you have and type. The last option is a bad monitor. Try Degaussing it first on the monitors menu selections. If you use a graphics card, you can disable it and try the on board one to see if it helps. If you need further assistance, please ask. I can guide you through all the steps.

West Indies are set to host New Zealand for the first time in 8 years for as many as 8 ODI games. The last time both sides had a clash in a bilateral series was way back in 2014 which had the visitors lose the ODI series 4-0 and then bounced back to clinch the T20I series 2-1, winning the final game in a super over.
West Indies and New Zealand are set to play 3 ODI and 5 T20I games from the 16th of September to the 6th of October in Antigua. All the games on the schedule are to be played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. West Indies are currently holding a specialist camp that includes some new players. There will be another camp in Antigua after the Women’s CPL which is scheduled to take place from the 31st of August to the 4th of September 2022, which will see all the matches on the schedule being played in Saint Kitts.

Windies head coach, Courtney Walsh said, “They are a very competitive team, and this will make for a great series for our team. As it comes just after we’ve had the Women’s regional tournaments and the Women’s CPL, it will be a great fillip for our players.”
Walsh further added, “We are currently holding another specialist camp including some new players, and after the Women’s CPL we will have a second camp in Antigua. In addition, the Lead Selector was with the West Indies U19 Women’s team for their series in Florida and have identified some exciting prospects to consider.”
“We will also have an eye on the T20 World Cup around the corner. So, this will give the squad a chance to showcase all their skills, and also give us, the coaching staff, a chance to look at what depth we have,” Walsh concluded.
The last face-off between West Indies and New Zealand was during the World Cup early this year. In game 1 at the World Cup, host New Zealand put West Indies in to bat first and Hayley Matthews played an anchors role alongside Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle and Chedean Nation in the middle order who’d had starts.
Matthews finished on 119(128) which saw West Indies post 259 on board for the hosts to chase down. New Zealand in reply lost Suzie Bates early on 3 and Sophie Devine alongside, Amelia Kerr and Amy Satterthwaite managed to stitch partnerships but both departed after having some sort of starts. A middle-order collapse worsened New Zealand’s hold on the game and soon the wicket of Sophie Devine after her century on 108(127) had West Indies excited for the win. Thankfully for New Zealand Katey Martin and Jess Kerr hung in with scores of 44 and 25 respectively, but requiring 6 of the last over couldn’t close the game out as Deandra Dottin dismissed both set batters and then assisting in a run-out Dottin sealed the win for New Zealand in a thriller that had West Indies win the contest by 3 runs.
