In her thirteenth year Toru and her younger sister were sent to study for a few months in France, and thence to attend lectures at Cambridge and to travel in England.
D., Director of the Lick Observatory, and Astronomer, University of California, Berkeley, Cal. D., Professor of the Romance Languages, Tulane University, New Orleans, La. Here it is easy to see the studious child poring over French, German, and English lexicons, reading every book she could lay hold of, hearing from her mother's lips those old legends of her race which had been woven into the poetry of native bards long before the civilization of modern Europe existed.
The essayist was Toru Dutt, a Hindu girl of eighteen, daughter of Govin Chunder Dutt, for many years a justice of the peace at Calcutta.
D., Professor of Literature in the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. n 1874 there appeared in the Bengal Magazine an essay upon Leconte de Lisle, which showed not only an unusual knowledge of French literature, but also decided literary qualities.
It is a romance of modern French life, whose motive is the love of two brothers for the same girl. Seest thou that lofty gilded spire, Above these tufts of foliage green?
But Toru's English renditions of the native Indian legends, called 'Ancient Ballads of[Pg 5076] Hindustan,' give a sense of great original power.
But marvelous as is the mastery shown over the subtleties of thought and the difficulties of translation, the achievement remains that of acquirement rather than of inspiration.
Paths which led To gardens trim, in gay attire, Lay all around. Huge straw-ricks, log huts full of grain, Sleek cattle, flowers, a tinkling bell, Spoke in a language sweet and plain, "Here smiling Peace and Plenty dwell." Unconsciously he raised his cry, "Shell-bracelets, ho! Come, wash thy feet, and break thy fast; Then on thy journey strengthened go." "Oh, thanks, good priest! But let my errand first be told: For bracelets sold to thine this day, So much thou owest me in gold; Hast thou the ready cash to pay? " "Thy daughter, with the large black eyne, Now bathing at the marble ghat." Loud laughed the priest at this reply, "I shall not put up, friend, with that; No daughter in the world have I; An only son is all my stay; Some minx has played a trick, no doubt: But cheer up, let thy heart be gay, Be sure that I shall find her out." "Nay, nay, good father! And couldst thou ask no other boon Than thy poor bracelet's price?
" And at his voice [Pg 5080]Looked out the priest, with eager eye, And made his heart at once rejoice. Pass not by, But step thou in, and share the food Just offered on our altar high, If thou art in a hungry mood. "The bracelets were enameled,—so The price is high."—"How! such a face Could not deceive, I must aver; At all events, she knows thy place, 'And if my father should demur To pay thee,'—thus she said,—'or cry He has no money, tell him straight The box vermilion-streaked to try, That's near the shrined'"—"Well, wait, friend, wait! Oh, blest art thou To have beheld her, touched her hand, Before whom Vishnu's self must bow, And Brahma and his heavenly band! That brow Resplendent as the autumn moon Must have bewildered thee, I trow, And made thee lose thy senses all." A dim light on the peddler now Began to dawn; and he let fall His bracelet-basket in his haste, And backward ran, the way he came: What meant the vision fair and chaste; Whose eyes were they,—those eyes of flame?

While personal habits at the desk -- eat lunch there and some crumbs may fall into the keyboard, feeding germs there -- personal habits elsewhere carry some of the blame (and plenty of the germs) too.
Studies indicate that one in three adults don't wash their hands after using a public restroom -- don't wash at all, not even the ineffectual fingerwave under a trickle of water, much less the twenty seconds of warm water, soap and scrubbing that the Centers for Disease Control recommends.
So when one in three of us (at least) returns to doing business at the keyboard after, well, doing business elsewhere...
You get the picture -- and I'd apologize for bringing it to your attention, except for the fact that careful, frequent handwashing is one of the key defenses against disease, and not just at the keyboard (although thinking of one third of business's busily typing fingers busily spreading who-knows-what is something we should all be aware of.)
Think of how much time and money your business lost to sick-time last year, and ask yourself if twenty seconds of soap and water isn't a far less expensive and, obviously, far healthier approach.
There's more to keeping your business safe than keeping your computers secure -- you also need to keep them clean, and that means keeping your hands clean.
A suggestion that applies ten or a hundredfold to -- I shudder to think -- at least one in three of the readers of this blog.

Do you come to feel the require for speed, but do not want all of the risks and dangers that are included when driving a real auto at substantial speeds incurs? Not to mention the cost to restore a true racing car when you wad it up in a crash. If this is you, then try your hand at slot car racing. You see, design slot car racing has been around given that 1929 and has received immense reputation, nationally and internationally.
Right now, design slot automobile racing is in a group of product car racing which incorporate radio controlled, far better known as RC racing and other people
THE Ekings Very, Really Fundamentals OF SLOT Auto RACING
Model slot automobiles are powered electronically by possibly batteries or from some resource of electric power, which is furnished to the car by a metallic strip on every facet of the slot.
The tracks on which slot vehicles run are manufactured up of groves or slots(that’s why the terms ‘slot’ car) into which the vehicles are guided with the assist of a pin or a blade like apparatus on the under carriage of the automobiles. Only a single slot auto is to occupy one slot. So for case in point, if you have an 8 lane monitor, you can have up to 8 vehicles circulating the observe.
Each and every slot is related to a power source, this kind of as an electric powered electricity pack or batteries which maintains that the energy provide stays secure all through the whole time the slot vehicles are on the monitor. To stop the slot autos from jumping out of the slot, some of the slot automobiles underneath carriage have some type of magnets which preserve these electric product cars in continuous make contact with with steel strips even at large speeds. Some design automobile blades are even magnetized to achieve the identical result as the undercarriage magnets. The speed of the autos are managed by the squeezing of the trigger way on a pistol-grip joystick positioned in the hand of the person who is managing the slot car. Squeezing the cause raises the velocity of the slot automobile and releasing the cause slows the electric powered design automobile down or stops it completely.
Slot vehicle racing is really international. International competitions are held every year in the United States and abroad. The United States has two HO scale auto corporations referred to as the United Federation of HO racers Association (UFHORA) and the HO Professional Racing Association (HOPRA). Every single calendar year each corporations hold countrywide and global functions around the nation. These activities are not only for racing the slot cars, but also to elevate general recognition slot auto racing in standard..

You can entry a prosperity of details from these places. For the HO ethusiast, examine out the nationwide firm HOPRA.Their site is at
Then go down to the hobby retailer and buy a design slot vehicle racing set of the scale you want to race. It does not have to be a huge set. Go residence,set it up and have Enjoyable!! See how the monitor and the autos are made. Discover how the automobile is in a position to propel itself down the observe,keep in the slot and stop.Will not be scared to delve inside of the automobiles to examine out the gears,chassis and how the body is mounted.
In no time you will be upgrading to a larger established either by including on to you current established or jogging down to your local track for much more encounter and or far better competitors.You will most most likely improve your auto(s) also by lightning your chassis, setting up a tighter wound motor with customized brushes,putting in stickier tires for much better traction and more. and believe me when I say a lot more, as there are a lot of methods to make a slot car quicker….a lot more rapidly.


I don't know about you but I'm really enjoying the World Cup but what about Football songs...they're tragic aren't they? Or are they? Here's a selection.....that are more Lionel Messi than Colin Hendry!
Do you have any favourite football tracks?....it's ok you can admit it, let us know!!
Flycasual:-Primal Scream/Irvine Welsh - 'The Big Man and The Scream Team Meet the Barmy Army Uptown' (1996)
It's so nice that Scotland are not in World Cup, the idea of having to go through the guaranteed 270 minutes of agony the group games have to offer is far too gruelling for my constitution. It's only after they have been unceremoniously dumped out of the tournament in heroic failure, that you start to relax and enjoy the footballing spectacle!
It was Euro 1996, Scoltand were in it and more importantly I would get to experience my first taste of a classic clash with the Auld Enemy, as England were in the same group. Leading up to the big day, my English girlfriend at the time and I would wind each other up to the point where it would end up in a heated argument about our respective nations, despite her being a big fan of Mel Gibson's exploits. She'd play '3 Lions' and England's 30 years of supposed hurt and I had this Scud missile of a record to take it out from Primal Scream, a superb Rock/Dub number with author Irvine Welsh's rant over it (when the guitars come in around 03:00...wow). The big day came with the inevitable big match nerves so it was a bit of a boozy affair to say the least. Predictably England took the lead but soon after Scotland found a way back in and were awarded a penalty, this was the moment!!! Then it all went to shit, in a helicopter high above Wembley stadium, Uri bloody Geller moved the ball and Gary Mcallister missed the spot kick, a sickener. From the resulting goal kick, Gazza went on to score 'that goal', flicking the ball over Colin Hendry's massive heed to net an incredible goal, one which I still haven't recovered from to this very day. Disgusted, I just ran out the house and headed to our local park to escape the banter from my girlfriend, only to be found by an eventual search party, crashed out in a drunken heap, draped in my Rampant Lion flag.
Frankie Valli - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Can't Take My Eyes Off You? - Football? What's the link? Back in 1993, the BBC used this song when promoting the Welsh Football teams during the qualifying rounds for the 1994 World Cup. It quickly became the unofficial anthem of the Welsh Football Supporters.
We thought we had it all! Old heads (Ian Rush, Neville Southall) and young talent in the form of Ryan Giggs and Gary Speed. We were second in the group and it all came down to the final match where Wales had to play Romania in Cardiff. It was 1-1 at 63 minutes when Wales were awarded a Penalty, but Paul Bodin (Who? I know) smashed the ball against the cross bar. Romania ended up winning 2-1 and qualified! I still remember it!
In 2011, Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones sang an acoustic version of the song in tribute to the former Wales Manager Gary Speed who sadly committed suicide.
Fat Les - Vindaloo (1998)
What are football songs all about? To me, they've got to be something that gets the crowd all riled up and something they'll enjoy singing along to. Forget all the soppy crap, it's got to be straight to the point! Vindaloo has it, synonymous to the stereotypical English lad..."I want to hottest thing on the menu, get me a Vindaloo!!" Its got the crowd pleasing factor, easy lyrics and sounds fantastic when shouted at the top of your lungs in a pub full of drunken revellers(especially if England did win). Sadly I think this style of song was the last of it's kind in quality and will always be up there with New Order and The Lightning Seeds. There are some great characters in the video, my favourites being the pissed tart and the weirdo with the bald wig that walks like Mick Jagger!
Old Pa's Corner :-
Rod Stewart - Ole Ola! (1978)
If it was a quiz question I would definitely remember the year 1978, It was World Cup year and Scotland had already won the World Cup, well according to the manager Ally McLeod that is.
I was at a wedding in Inverness and me along with another 100 or so celebrating fans gathered round a small TV for Scotland's first game. Rod Stewart's Ole Ola! was playing loud. It was Fiesta time, whiskey time!. A time to celebrate this great Scottish world class, all conqueing team. (Scotland were 40 to 1 on to win this game with some bookies, unbelievable odds).
There was no regard to the break up of the wedding, amongst the tears and the 'how could you spoil Morag's big day', and 'it will never last'.
Fourteen minutes into the game, Jo Jordon is through on his own, GOAL ! Scotland 1 Peru 0, we are on our way. World Champions! Scotland! it tasted good!
Eighty Minutes later the score read, Scotland 1 Peru 3, a certain 'Cubillas' spoiled the party, it was his fault the wedding was a disaster. It was his fault Scotland lost, whiskey time. It was his fault I had a raging hangover the next day.
The dream was over before it had began. Three weeks later a Nation's confidence was brought to it's knees and has never fully recovered. Not even Proud Edward's army had achieved that. We thought we were invincible, a small Nation that could compete with the Big Boys. Sadly we now know our place. (Thank God for Andy Murray and Robbie Burns and Scotch Whiskey)
|The Dream is well and truly over for the last 34 years|
Come on England! Ole Ola! I hope you don't suffer the same fate. Nobody deserves that, not even an England supporter.
Arrivederci it's one on one!! Check out more Tune Doctor Special Operations here....

- British taxidermist's estates: Kerala HC asks collector to decide on Escheat
KOCHI: The Kerala high court on Tuesday directed Wayanad district collector to take a decision regarding the need for escheatment of over 200 acres of land in Wayanad that belonged to legendary British taxidermist Edwin Joubert Van Ingen. The court considered a petition filed by Michael Floyd Eshwar, a horse trainer who claimed that he was adopted by the taxidermist who was a bachelor and that the property was given to him through a gift deed immediately prior to his death. The gift deed regarding 220.19 acres of property known as Kartikulam and Alathur estates was registered in 2006. In the petition, it was alleged that the property was not an escheat by any stretch of imagination when it was gifted and when Ingen died. As he is the legally adopted son, escheat proceedings cannot be initiated against the estates. The property was in his possession at the time of Ingen’s death, the petitioner claimed. A total of 349.65 acres was purchased by Ingen along with his two brothers in 1951. They obtained a licence from Reserve Bank of India to possess the estate for the purpose of cultivation. In 1982, Ingen’s brother executed a will bequeathing his full right in favour of his brother. By 2004, Ingen had ownership and possession of a total of 253 acres in Thrissilery village, from which 33 acres was sold to a company named Lodestar in May 2005. On February 1, 2006, Ingen executed the gift deed in his favour, the petition said.

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE DEATH PENALTY
The cost associated with the death penalty is more expensive than housing someone in prison for life. The economic recession today has several states thinking of cutting-back cost by eliminating the death penalty to confront huge budget deficits. The death penalty is used as a strong deterrent, but has it stop crime, no. There is substantial evidence and research that shows the death penalty is economically inefficient and morally wrong. This paper will analyze the cost-benefit of the death penalty to show that other alternatives of capital punishment should be exercised by participating states.
An Economic Analysis of the Death Penalty
A death for a death is the justice that most states choose to embrace, with 14 of the 50 states banning capital punishment, the debate has been shifted from morality to cost. The cost associated with putting someone to death does vary from state to state. The death penalty is an expensive and prodigal program with no benefits. Most of the studies suggest that the cost of capital punishment is much more expensive than a system with life sentence as the maximum penalty instead. Sentencing someone to death includes the cost for pre-trial and during the trial cost, as well as, the lethal injection (Amnesty International, 2013). Most of the cost is required upfront for legal expenses. The cost for a prisoner with a life sentence would include the pre-trial expense, one automatic appeal which is not provided by a court-appointed attorney until after this appeal is complete within two years of the initial sentence and the cost of housing this prisoner for life. Although both the death penalty and life in prison can be very expensive the death penalty requires more funds and the states are usually not able to afford it. In a time of many budget cuts, states are pouring money into...

An Embarrassment of Bitches: Faye Dunaway on YouTube
Faye Dunaway is a great movie star renowned for her flowing tresses and flaring nostrils. She won the Oscar for playing a voracious TV virago in Network and was nominated for sultrily killing people in Bonnie and Clyde and for rivetingly glamorizing incest in the noirish Chinatown. Those are her iconic roles, but there's so much more to feisty Faye. Just recently, I put up a clip of Faye playing aging sexpot Mae West in some obscure movie or other, a scene unearthed and posted on YouTube by one Todd Carpenter. Well, Todd was so tickled to see that I'd highlighted his link that he sent me a whole other slew of Faye film and TV nuggets--a veritable parade of scheming attitude and great styling. There's everything here from Faye as a witchy Evita Peron to her appropriately naughty Wicked Lady to her business tycoon with HIV in Lina Wertmuller's As Long As It's Love. Deservedly obscure, you say? Nah! Nothing with Faye deserves to be Dunaway with. Check them out and gag.

Balkan Paradise Orchestra
Since they began their journey in early 2015 in Barcelona, Balkan Paradise Orchestra has shown, in each and every performance, their potential as an unusual and ground-breaking group. Composed by wind and percussion players, the Balkan Paradise Orchestra (aka BPO) is a breath of fresh air for the music panorama of their country.
Despite taking as a starting point the sounds of Balkan roots, their compositions mix different rhythms and traditions worldwide, resulting in an eclectic and festive music. BPO has a surprising capacity to generate empathy with the public, bringing joy and desire to dance in every corner of the world.
This 2023 BPO premieres “Catarsis”, its new show. “Catarsis” symbolizes the moment of emotional release through music, movement and the party feeling that BPO transmits in their concerts. The energy shared between the band and the audience makes this catharsis possible; a unique and powerful show, whose choreographic staging blends perfectly with their original music proposal. In “Catarsis” you will be able to listen to their own songs and some new versions with very diverse sound influences, such as Balkan, Latin or electronic music.

In reply I have to inform you that by the recent Act of Congress establishing a Territorial Government for this District, the appointment of Justices of the Peace was vested in the Governor, and therefore this Department keeps no record thereof. The Levy Court was abolished by said Act, and I presume that information in regard to its late members will not now be necessary. We have no record of the appointment of the Register of Wills and Recorder of Deeds,—but such information as you may want concerning them you will find in the last Biennial Register, there having been no change made in those offices since its publication.

more up to date information about the latest snow please visit the individual resort
snow reports; which are updated daily.
An early taste of summer has been felt across the Alps this week, with valley temperatures hitting as high as 20C and the freezing level climbing well above 3,000m. Many resorts are now shut for the season, with more scheduled to close this weekend, but there is still some great skiing to be had. Head high and stick to north facing slopes for the best conditions and avoid skiing back to resort too late in the afternoon as the slopes will have become slushy and worn.
Light clouds and sunshine were seen across Austria on Thursday, there is still some good skiing available despite the closure of many of our featured resorts.
Clouds obscured the sun for the first time this week in France, slowing slightly the thaw that has been happening at a rapid rate this week. Many resorts are set to close this weekend, leaving the highest resorts as the only ones still open for the season.
Many resorts have closed across Switzerland, but at those still open expect the spring-like conditions at almost all levels. Head high for the best snow and stick to north facing slopes.
Parts of eastern Italy shared similar conditions to the neighbouring Austria, with sunny skies and light clouds. The west had more intervals of cloud but on the whole it was a nice day for spring time skiing.
All of our featured resorts in Andorra have closed for the season, but skiing is still on offer in the Pyrenees at Cauterets in France with spring conditions dominant.
Good skiing remains on offer in Scandinavia, with most resorts remaining open until at least the 26th of April. The best conditions are on the upper slopes, but most resort runs are still in decent condition.
Sunshine has been beating down on our Bulgarian resorts this week, leading to some fantastic spring conditions. Head up there this weekend as daily operations are set to cease on Sunday.
Heavy rain at the start of the week has reduced the cover in Scotland, but some good skiing still remains on the upper slopes of Cairngorm, Glencoe and Nevis Range.
Huge amount of snow have fallen in Utah and Colorado is about to get a great late-season dump of powder. The season is coming to an end in California, with one final sunny weekend forecast and on the east coast expect spring conditions over the coming days.
Most resorts in Canada are now closed, but Whistler, Banff and Marmot Basin remain open – all of which are reporting new snowfall in recent days. Mont Sainte-Anne and Tremblant on the east coast are closed this week but are due to open for weekend skiing with spring-like conditions.
European weather outlook
The mild air is set to remain over the Alps on Thursday before a weather front arrives during Friday, slightly lowering the freezing level. This is set to sadly bring some heavy rain to slopes below around 2,500m – although expect some local variations. By Saturday colder air should drop the snow level to around 2,000m but the precipitation is set to be lighter. On the upper slopes some good powder is very possible with up to 50cm of new snow expected at altitude during the course of the weekend.
Rain is expected in the Pyrenees this weekend, providing a damp end to the ski season. Some powder is possible on the very highest slopes, but lower down more snow loss is expected.
Glorious sunny weather is forecast in Bulgaria until Saturday, before the temperature drops significantly overnight in to Sunday, accompanied by some light snowfall.
Expect warm and mostly sunny springtime weather in Scandinavia over the weekend and into next week. More clouds are expected in Sweden, with a little light snow possible although there is a good chance of some nice sunny breaks too.
The clouds are set to clear from Scotland during Friday to leave a sunny and warm weekend –perfect for setting up spring snow conditions. This weather pattern is forecast to continue well into next week.
North american weather outlook
Some brilliant spring sunshine is forecast for western Canada over the weekend, with mid-mountain temperatures soaring into double digits across British Columbia. Cooler conditions can be expected in Alberta, possibly bringing the odd snow flurry, but expect some warm spring sunshine here too over the weekend.
Unsettled and snowy weather is forecast for Colorado in the USA, with as much as 50cm of fresh powder predicted to fall by the end of the weekend in places. Utah on the other hand is expected to remain mostly dry, with some good spells of sunshine in between periods of cloudy weather that may bring some light snow flurries.
Warm and sunny weather is forecast for the final weekend at many resorts. Be sure to take sunglasses and sun cream as the sun is extremely strong at this time of year.
Spring has well and truly sprung on the east coast, with temperatures set to hit double figures at mid-mountain level over much of the next nine days. Expect some rain at times – heaviest on Friday and Tuesday. Some good sunny breaks are forecast in between the rain however, especially on Sunday which is closing day for many resorts.
Andorra snow reports
Following a fantastic season and a glorious final weekend, all of our featured resorts in Andorra are closed for the season.
Austria snow reports
We have already had a large portion of our featured resorts close for the season but you can still ski in Austria. On Thursday 16th April it was mostly sunny with patches of cloud and overall it was quite hot with some temperatures reaching up to +15C in places.
The glacier ski resorts are open and have lots of enjoyable spring time skiing available. Some of the main resorts are still open too with the likes of Obergurgl (20/130cm), St Anton (60/345cm) and Ischgl (0/150cm) all offering pleasant skiing albeit quite slushy and heavy at times but when groomed, a great days skiing is there to be enjoyed.
The higher glacial resorts of Pitztal (312/355cm), Kaunertal (288/394cm), Stubai (5/265cm) and the Hintertux (20/290cm) all have plenty of pistes open with firmer slopes at their summits and softer slopes lower down. The off piste conditions are mostly varied and there may be a few rocks poking out from the tracked cover so do take care.
Sadly there is some rain in the forecast for slopes below around 2,500m this weekend, but with most of the open resorts having slopes around and above this, there could be some fresh snow to enjoy this weekend.
Bulgaria snow reports
It has been a gloriously sunny final full week of the season in Bulgaria, with warm temperatures transforming the deep snow base into perfect spring snow. Bansko (150/250cm) had all but one lift running on Thursday 16th April and is expected to run the same lifts again right up until closing day on Sunday. Borovets (250/315cm) retains an incredible base for the time of year and is set to open for weekend skiing should conditions allow once daily operations cease this weekend. Some great spring skiing is also to be expected at Pamporovo (85/105cm) to end the season. Expect the sunny skies to remain until Saturday night, when clouds are forecast to roll in – potentially bringing a wintry mix on Sunday.
Canada snow reports
There is some great skiing still in Alberta this week, with Marmot Basin (143cm) reporting 17cm of new snow in the past four days and Lake Louise above Banff (186/195cm) has picked up a massive 64cm in the past week. There is some great late season powder to be found and both resorts are set to remain open until May. Changeable weather is forecast for the weekend, with some nice sunny skies in between some light snow showers.
Whistler (205cm) is still able to offer some good skiing, although lower down there is very little snow. The top bowls are in great shape and thanks to recent snowfall some good powder days have been had – finally! Some great spring sunshine is forecast for the coming days.
Over on the east coast, both Mont Sainte-Anne (50/70cm) and Tremblant (60/120cm) are open this weekend following a week of closure to preserve the snow. Expect spring conditions under what sadly is forecast to be a damp Saturday but a sunny Sunday.
All of our other featured resorts are now closed for the season.
France snow reports
Following a week of very warm sunshine, clouds moved into France on Thursday, bringing the possibility of some light rain showers later in the day.
The lower slopes have really taken a hit this week and as a result expect some very worn conditions or even closed resort runs. So head high for the best skiing and the most reliable snow conditions. Resorts such as Val Thorens (110/225cm) and Tignes (76/180cm) provide two of the best options at present owing to their high altitude slopes.
Some good skiing is also available at present in the Paradiski area, with both Les Arcs (45/200cm) and La Plagne (10/180cm) reporting good conditions on the upper pistes in particular. The lowest slopes are suffering but the link remains open and both resorts are set to keep their lifts turning until April 26th.
Sadly some fairly heavy rain is forecast over the coming days, providing a wet final weekend for many resorts. The higher slopes (above 2,500m) could see up to 30cm of fresh snow in places over the weekend so head high for the chance of some powder.
Very limited skiing is available at present at our featured resorts in Germany, with only Garmisch (0/435cm) and Obertsdorf (0/130cm) currently open. That being said, the conditions on the slopes remain good although the south facing pistes are likely to show signs of wear later in the day. Sadly some heavy rain is expected on Friday and Saturday up to 2,500m, so expect some significant snow loss on the lower slopes by the weekend. Should the snow hold, both resorts are set to remain open until Sunday 3rd May.
Italy snow reports
Many of our featured Italian resorts are set to close this weekend but we do have a number that are open for weekend skiing, most notably the Milky Way. It is currently closed to preserve the remaining snow at Sauze D’Oulx (40/80cm), Sestriere (40/80cm), Cesana and Claviere (40/80cm).
Of the remaining resorts that are still open there is good skiing available in resorts such as Cervinia (30/270cm) and Val Senales (35/320cm). The high altitudes are ensuring a good base depth and that the pistes remain as intact as possible. Naturally the slopes are firmer in the morning but do get quite slushy in the high afternoon when the temperature rises. Off piste conditions are varied and mainly slush by the afternoon. Both resorts had all but one lift open so the availability of slopes is still very reasonable despite the significant increase in temperature.
Rain is also expected to high levels here over the weekend, but the upper slopes of resorts such as Cervinia could catch around 30cm of new snow.
Norway snow reports
& Sweden snow reports
With most of our featured Norwegian resorts set to remain open well into April and for some May (Hemsedal), there is still some good skiing to be had this winter. For the best conditions stick to the upper slopes, although recent cooler weather has led to some firm upper pistes in resorts such as Hemsedal (90/90cm) and Trysil (142/142cm). Lillehammer (20/150cm) retains some great spring conditions owing to its slightly warmer climate, although only three of the city’s five ski areas remain open. Mostly sunny and milder weather is forecast for the weekend ahead so expect the spring snow conditions to return.
Are (71/71cm) in Sweden has caught a lot of fresh snow this week on the upper mountain, with 21cm falling in the past three days alone. Some nice fresh turns have been reported up high, but sadly lower down much of this has fallen as rain or sleet. Salen (60/80cm) has remained dry, with spring conditions reported on the slopes. Are is forecast more unsettled weather with light snowfall possible, whereas Salen is expected to remain dry but mostly cloudy.
Switzerland snow reports
The Swiss ski season is really winding down and thanks to the recent warmth, the snow has been melting fast. Thursday 16th April brought more clouds than of late, heralding a change that is forecast to bring rain to slopes below 2,500m on Friday.
Some of the best conditions in Switzerland are at Samnaun (35/190cm) and its linked ski area with Ischgl over the border in Austria. The resort is set to remain open into May and thanks to the great snowbase in place, this is looking likely. Some great spring skiing has been had in recent days here and expect more of the same over the weekend – possibly topped up by some fresh powder on the upper slopes.
The upper slopes of Verbier (0/260cm) remain in good condition, although the return to the resort is becoming tricky with only one run open. The itinerary runs have developed some huge bumps so hit these slopes when the sun has melted through the overnight freeze for some slightly easier and softer turns.
It is the last scheduled weekend of operation at many resorts, including Grimentz/Zinal (30/225cm), Davos/Klosters (19/185cm), Saas Fee (12/370cm) and Wengen (0/135cm). Some good skiing should still be found on the upper slopes this weekend, with the potential for a powder day on the upper slopes on Saturday.
USA snow reports
Many resorts are scheduled to close this weekend, despite the fact that snow is falling across the Rockies.
Some huge snowfall totals have been recorded in Utah in the past two days. Park City (66cm) has picked up around 30cm of new snow but was outdone by Alta (241cm) which saw 86cm of new snow and Snowbird (241cm) which clocked a massive 109cm of powder. Some great late season powder is therefore likely and the sun is expected to make an appearance over the weekend.
Snow was also falling at Colorado, but as of Thursday morning only a few centimetres had fallen. Up to 60cm is forecast by the end of the weekend at resorts such as Arapahoe Basin (104cm) and Winter Park (135cm) – so take your powder skis this weekend!
Big Sky (117/170cm) in Montana is set up for an incredible final weekend of the season, with 40cm of new snow recorded on Thursday morning. As the resort is quiet at the moment, expect the fresh tracks to last into the weekend.
It is the final weekend at Squaw Valley (45/78cm) and Heavenly (94cm) in California and the sun is expected to shine. Hopefully next season will bring an end to the run of very poor seasons in the Sierra Nevada.
It is also the final weekend for many east coast resorts, where spring conditions are now dominant following a prolonged spell of mild weather. Expect some spells of rain but also some very decent spells of sunshine. The pick of the conditions remain at Killington (76/102cm) which is hoping to ski into May.

A device firefighters use to help cool their body temperatures may also help a little girl with a rare skin disease.
Four-year-old Cali Ransom from Phoenix, Ariz., suffers from a condition call Ichthyosis, a genetic disorder that results in dry, thick and scaly skin.
“The easiest way to describe it is her body produces skin much faster than you or I, and then she sheds much (more) slowly,” said Donna Ransom, Cali’s mom.
Not only does this cause Cali to be itchy all the time, but it also means she can’t sweat at a normal rate, which causes her to overheat easily.
To help relieve some of Cali’s pain, Phoenix firefighter Luke Anderson showed Cali and her family how to use the Core Control Cooling Glove, in hopes that running cool water over her hand will cool her core temperature as it does for firefighters on the scene of a fire.
The Ransoms will try the glove for 60 days to see if Cali gets any benefits. If the device works, the family said it could be a life changer for their daughter, who often passes on field trips and other activities with friends because of the significant risk of overheating.
“This is a chance for her to enjoy a few of those activities with her friends and put the glove on and bring the core temperature down,” said Chuck Ransom, Cali’s father. “Maybe not as long as two hours outside; she might only be able to go out for 15 minutes, but that’s something for her.”

A 20-year-old student at Chabot College in Hayward is dead after being shot during a bar fight early Sunday, police say.
Jeremy Hansen was killed after being shot outside Roberto's Cocktail Lounge in Hayward shortly after 1:30 a.m., said police Lt. Chris Orrey.
A suspect is under arrest, but his name has not been released.
Several people held the suspect until the police arrived, Orrey said.
The fight that led to Hansen's death started in the bar, then spilled into the parking lot just before closing time, Orrey said.
Hansen worked as an assistant manager of the Ecko Unlimited clothing store at the Southland Mall in Hayward. He was planning to transfer to San Diego State University and study to become a sports therapist, said his mother, Diane Hansen. She said her son was not involved in drugs or gangs.

Fla. pop. on verge of surpassing New York State’s
But Florida has also become a bit of a tarnished Eden, which experts argue traded in the charms of its natural beauty for the addictions of development and growth.
“This is Florida: We’re making minimum wage wearing a Pluto costume at Disney World, but we think we’ve hit the big-time,” said Jack Davis, a history professor at the University of Florida.
The state also has largely failed to address some pressing problems that will only grow worse as Florida’s population keeps growing.
The state’s primary source of water comes from the Florida Aquifer, which is replenished from rainfall seeping into the ground. The more Florida is paved over with driveways, parking lots and structures, the less water seeps into the Aquifer.
The state’s economy — largely reliant on tourism and housing — is still reeling in some places from the Great Recession and needs further diversification. There have been pockets of success: Orlando developed a thriving computer simulation industry and is working on building a medical science community. Miami has aspirations to be a Latin American hub of high-tech companies. Palm Beach County has developed life sciences facilities, anchored by cancer and infectious disease research at the Scripps Research Institute, with the help of millions of dollars in subsidies from state and local governments.
Bruce Stephenson, an environmental studies professor at Rollins College outside Orlando, is optimistic that Florida has learned some lessons from the housing boom and bust that will propel its leaders to take a more clear-eyed approach to growth. And to a certain extent, life in Florida is always going to be about the ups and downs — the cycle of construction and destruction that comes from man and Mother Nature alike.
“People come to Florida, say, ‘What an amazing life,’ buy into the dream and then the dream collapses and yet we go on,” said Stephenson. “Because it’s such a new state, you can try different things. … It’s a laboratory. Sometimes the experiments blow up.”

Selectmen delay acting on proposal about future of Troy Mills
By Meghan Foley Sentinel Staff
| Posted: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 12:00 pm
TROY — Prompted by public pressure Monday night, selectmen decided to hold off on a vote about the future of the former Troy Mills complex until after town meeting in March.
The tension then spilled over into the foyer of Troy Town Hall after the meeting had adjourned, with residents getting into a spirited debate with a local official about the merits of a proposal that includes selectmen forgiving a more than $1 million tax lien on the 19-acre mill property so it can be sold.
The official was Donald A. Upton, chairman of the Troy Redevelopment Group, the nonprofit organization that owns the site and wants to sell it to Robert E. Hanson, a developer who has been interested in buying the property for several years.
During Monday’s selectmen’s meeting, residents questioned the motives behind the proposal and Hanson’s credentials.
“We had a hard time finding anything on Hanson,” said Francis H. Fournier Jr., former co-chairman of the town’s Industrial Development Authority.
Resident Richard H. Thackston 3rd suggested the selectmen hold off voting on the matter until after town meeting, and suggested revisiting the vote the second Monday in April.
“It would give the opportunity for any petition warrant articles that could come up, and give you two-and-a-half months to look at this,” he said. “Clearly, action on this tonight would be inappropriate.”
The selectmen settled on a date of April 27 to vote on the proposal, which seeks to sell the property to Hanson providing certain conditions are met by him, the town and the state.
Town budget committee member Bert W. Lang said if the selectmen didn’t put together something about the mill property for town meeting, he would.
Troy Mills, which originally made horse blankets before becoming a leading producer of automotive fabrics, closed in 2001 and filed for bankruptcy in 2003. The Troy Redevelopment Group, appointed by selectmen to address environmental concerns on the property, then acquired the property.
A Jan. 13 memo from Upton to selectmen said the Troy Redevelopment Group is proposing an agreement that would lead to the sale of the mill complex to a new corporate entity established by Hanson called Troy Properties LLC.
The memo references a purchase and sales agreement, but Upton said Monday the redevelopment group is far from such an agreement with Hanson.
Hanson and his partners have been working with the redevelopment group during the past eight years through a company called Troy Mills Developers LLC.
Hanson had negotiated an option to purchase the property from the Troy Redevelopment Group in 2005, with a plan to put condominiums on the site. But that plan never materialized, and that option ended in June 2014, according to the memo.
To sell the property to Hanson today, some conditions would have to be met, including the selectmen agreeing to write off $1.2 million in back taxes on the site, and Troy Properties receiving approval from the planning board to subdivide the property, according to the memo.
In addition, Troy Properties would have to reach agreements with the N.H. Department of Environmental Services and the N.H. Community Development Finance Authority on loans for hundreds of thousands of dollars made to clean up the site over the past 12 years, the memo said.
Lang, Fournier, Jeffrey L. Beal, Michael J. Walsh and Marcia Nadeau were among the residents speaking against the proposal during the selectmen’s meeting.
All said they were skeptical about the proposal and giving Hanson even more time to develop the property.
“What is going to change now that Bob Hanson has a new LLC?” Walsh asked.
According to the proposed agreement, Hanson would buy the mill complex for $400,000, but pay for it over three years.
There are several caveats in the proposal as to how the payments would be structured to meet the $400,000 total.
Besides believing the property is worth more, Selectman Gideon L. Nadeau Sr. said he doesn’t think the town will receive the full $400,000 based on how the proposal is written.
Selectmen discussed the memo on the proposal during a nonpublic session on Jan. 13.
The memo was made public Monday night after Nadeau released it to the public earlier.
Nadeau said he went public with the memo because he believes townspeople deserve a say on the future of the mill complex.
Selectmen Chairman William T. “Tom” Matson called Nadeau’s actions a “grave breach of public trust.”
A town meeting warrant article approved by voters in 2004 gives the selectmen the authority to sell, or assign ownership of the Troy Mills complex, as long as board members determine it’s in the best interest of the town.
Monday’s meeting adjourned at about 7 p.m., and soon after Upton arrived expecting to talk to the selectmen. Instead, he ended up speaking to residents outside the meeting room.
Nadeau called the gathering of him, Selectman Robert J. Kemp Jr., Upton and about six residents an “informal meeting.” Matson left as the discussion was starting.
Upton was bothered by selectmen’s decision to hold off on voting on the proposal, and said by doing so the town could be sued because Hanson had invested his own money in the project.
Nadeau said he didn’t think the town would be at risk of a lawsuit because Hanson’s original agreement with the Troy Redevelopment Group has run out.
Upton said that previous boards of selectmen didn’t want to know what was going on with the property because they considered knowing a liability.
Also, those previous boards put the $1.2 million lien on the property to protect the town, and didn’t expect to get that money back, he said.
“You guys are unbelievable,” he said, referring to the residents and selectmen. “We have a plan to start getting this thing back on the tax roll.”

The Portico Project
This is a call for submissions for a new initiative at Centaur Theatre, in response to the extraordinary moment we are living in the performing arts. We are looking for short theatrical projects which can be safely performed in the portico and on the steps in front of the theatre.
WHEN – September 24 to October 3. Each project will have a minimum of 3 presentations during the run.
THEME – “Unpacking” as in unpacking the story, unpacking the self, unpacking the system, unpacking the moment. Since the Covid crisis began, performing artists have had to put their creative output in storage. During this time so many things have shifted in the world at large. Our job as artists is to examine the world through the lens of our individual experience and then use our imaginations to reveal what we see to other people.
The “unpacking” theme is a call for performing artists to reveal what they have been seeing and thinking about during this extraordinary moment in our collective experience. What is the role of the artist now, and how can art be used to incite and document social change?
It is also a chance for artists to play creatively within the new realities and restrictions that this contagious disease demands. It can be a brand new creation or a new look on something old, but it must respect current public health mandates of social distancing between performers. This means maintaining a 2 meter distance between people unless they are from the same family or household.
LENGTH – It must be between 10 and 20 minutes in length so that an audience member could easily stand for or be attracted to as they walk by. It is meant to be a fresh take on something, not a polished piece of traditional theatre and can involve text, movement, music, visuals, or all of the above.
SUBMISSION – Please submit a one-page description of your project plus CVs of all artists involved. A written script may be submitted but must not exceed 10 pages in length (even if the whole script is longer). If visuals are available, feel free to submit them in a digital format. All materials must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.org with the word “Portico” and your name in the subject line.
DEADLINE – July 17. Selected projects will be confirmed no later than August 1st.
REMUNERATION – $1000 plus a $250 material support.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – Each selected project will be scheduled for a meeting with our Production Manager, Howard Mendelsohn, to assess the production elements of the project and coordinate the presentations.
We are committed to presenting the widest range of voices possible and encourage artists of every possible ethnic background and sexual orientation to apply.

Interior Dept. to address energy valuation
The Department of the Interior late in December announced the release of a draft proposed federal regulation by the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) governing the valuation of federal oil and gas, and federal and American Indian coal resources, as well as expanded guidance on the production of coal on public lands issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Both initiatives seek to provide greater clarity and certainty for the energy industry and are part of the Department’s larger effort to help ensure the American public receives every dollar due for domestic energy resources.
The current oil, gas and coal valuation regulations – originally put in place for natural gas and coal in the late 1980s – have not kept pace with the significant market changes that have occurred in the domestic natural gas and coal markets since that time. The existing federal oil valuation regulations are a decade old. The proposed draft regulation being released by ONRR today will update the regulations to help keep pace with modern technology and practices.
“Coal produced on public lands is an important part of our domestic energy portfolio, but we have an obligation – and we are fully committed – to ensure that the American taxpayer receives a fair return for the production of domestic energy resources,” said Deputy Secretary of the Interior Mike Connor. “The initial steps we are taking are part of the larger effort to strengthen the management of coal production on public lands by providing greater certainty and predictability to the industry and helping to protect American taxpayers. We look forward to receiving public comment on the draft proposal.”
Existing gas and coal valuation regulations may require an energy company to follow benchmarks when it sells its product to an affiliated company. The benchmarks for coal are applied sequentially and include such factors as comparable arm’s-length sales, prices reported to public utility commissions and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, other relevant matters and a netback calculation.
These benchmarks can be administratively burdensome to industry trying to report and pay proper royalties, and to regulators reviewing royalty payments for audit and compliance purposes. The proposed regulation aims to remedy this and other issues caused by outdated rules with more clear regulations that better reflect the changing energy industry, while protecting taxpayer and American Indian assets.
The BLM today is also sending updated guidance to the field that will help ensure a consistent and efficient coal lease sale process, increase clarity in determining fair market value and provide guidance on independent review of appraisal reports. The guidance will enable the Bureau to account for export potential through analysis of comparable sales and income.
The BLM coal program’s revised manuals and handbooks are part of a suite of actions that the BLM has undertaken following the recommendations of a June 2013 audit by the Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General and a February 2014 Government Accountability Office report. Previous guidance has been issued regarding publicly available information such as the accepted fair market value and historical lease sale data, and not accepting coal lease bids below the pre-sale fair market value. Over the past two years, the BLM has developed new training programs for coal specialists and completed the first phase of a bureau-wide tracking system for coal inspections. The handbooks can be viewed here. The manuals can be viewedhere.
The BLM has also released safety, inspection and enforcement guidance to promote more responsible development of coal resources on the nation’s public lands, including: improved documentation for coal operation inspections on coal exploration licenses, licenses to mine, leases, and logical mining units; and increased Mineral Mine Inspector training and certification requirements.
The Consolidated Federal Oil & Gas and Federal & Indian Coal Valuation Reform rule will be published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2015, which initiates a 60-day public comment period. The notice will be available on the web at: http://www.regulations.gov.

You read that article title right….flared leggings are back. If you haven’t had your finger on the fashion trend pulse for the past six months, you might not have spotted our beloved celebrities, fashion-forward Gen-Z or upcoming influencers sporting a piece of early 2000s fashion history: the flare legging. What once was worn with thongs, a strappy singlet and a cute shrug cardigan are back with a refreshed cut featuring a high-waisted flattering fit.
So, how did this seasoned staple manage to weave itself back into our wardrobe rotations? Following the resurgence of Y2K street style partnered with the more recent adoption of wide-leg denim, it was only natural that the flare legging saw a return to the fashion scene and our athleisure apparel.
But if we’re narrowing down the style source that led to the flare legging uprise, like most new fashion trends, it was primarily led by the icon herself: Emma Chamberlain. While other celebrities have been seen sporting the flare legging look, including the likes of Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski, Rhianna and more, their aesthetic ensembles are often an expensive style that is unattainable to the general public.
Whereas Emma brought the trend back into the public eye by pairing simple, sporty and stylish pieces together that others can easily recreate with items from their clothing collections. In her now iconic Instagram photo, Emma teamed her flare leggings with an oversized sweater, sneakers and a thick white headband.
As flare leggings now dominate the street style of our favourite sources of fashion inspo, it’s safe to say that this staple of Y2K is here to stay. LJ is always a strong believer in leggings as outerwear and flared leggings just fuse their comfort with chicness even more. Wondering how to achieve the effortless cool girl look with this latest blast from the past? We’ve found the perfect outfit formulas.
How to Style Flare Leggings
Most of us tend to associate flare leggings with the looks from the 00s we’re trying to forget, but thanks to the eye of the it-girls, black flare leggings are en-route to being the ultimate wardrobe essential.
Whether working from home, hot girl walking or errand running, there are endless fashion opportunities with flare leggings. The comfort of the leggings is perfectly balanced by the bold and chic silhouette of flare to make for the perfect black pant for any outfit. Here’s how we’re styling this must-have activewear, for any occasion.
Play with Proportions
Emma Chamberlain’s viral IG-story moment sparked the resurgence of this flare legging trend due to her cool-girl styling. Due to the unique shape of flare, these leggings offer you the perfect chance to play with proportions. When styling, opt for an oversized sweatshirt to balance the skin-tight thigh of leggings. Channel Emma and pair your black legging flares with a vintage-inspired sweatshirt over a turtleneck for an outfit with even more nods to nostalgia. This outfit formula is perfect for cold morning brunch dates with the girls and can easily be paired with your favourite sneakers to play on the athleticwear look or even loafers to elevate the outfit all-round.
Keep it Tight
For something more figure-hugging, black flare leggings can be put with a tight black shirt for a cat-suit effect. Think Kim K in Balenciaga, black flare leggings with a black top lets you embrace their chicness to the max. Slinky but simple, a tight top allows you emphasise the flare of the pants and enjoy their comfort at the same time. Take your cue from Kim and pair them with kitten heels for a night-out look or keep it casual with your favourite white Dad sneakers. An easy day-to-night outfit, black flare leggings with a black top a bold must-try outfit once the temperature drops.
Win the Workplace
The right workplace outfit will always depend on your job, but flare leggings could be your next simple but stylish ‘fit for casual Fridays. Try donning an oversized dress shirt over this style of leggings to play with proportions in a more professional and fashionable way. Whether a neutral colour or a fun print, an oversized dress shirt gives any look that Scandy fashion feeling. This combo makes flare leggings look more formal and feigns as trousers for the day.
Cute for Class
The best activewear will take you from your morning gym class through the rest of your day with ease. Flare leggings still come with this flexibility of classic leggings and are perfect for light workouts like Pilates, yoga or walks. When paired with a baby t-shirt and sneakers, you can easily go from the mat to the market in your flared leggings. For an outfit even more TikTokified, embrace the ballet-core trend and finish your flare legging look with a shrug over your sports bra. When it comes to workouts, flare leggings offer you the best of both worlds: function and fashion.
What shoes go with flare leggings?
Due to their perfectly simple style, flare leggings go great with a wide range of shoes. Our shoe favourites would be:
Chunky white sneakers
Lace-up shoes (think Converse)
Y2K-inspired platform sandals
Your Turn: Where to get Flare Leggings?
Styling flare leggings might not be as effortless as Bella Hadid makes them look, but this style comes with the ultimate activewear versatility. With so many styles to choose from, Lorna Jane has your next pair of flared leggings sorted. With a range of cuts, colours and styles, find your perfect pair online or in-store now!


“Possibly, that may have happened, yeah,” Peters said when asked if he got down on one knee.
Peters wasn’t shy about giving details about the ring or how the engagement played out.
“I was naked. Just about to go to bed and I just got on both knees because one knee hurt,” Peters said while laughing.
When asked when the pair will be getting married, Peters jokingly replied, “Oh no rush, I still got a bunch of side chicks I got to get through.”
Peters was in the ET Canada studio on Tuesday to talk about his new Netflix special debuting Oct. 7, Almost Famous, shot at the end of his tour over two nights at Toronto’s Massey Hall last April.

Worldwide, 185 million people have chronic hepatitis C. Since the late 1980s, when scientists discovered the virus that causes the infection, they have struggled to find ways to grow it in human cells in the lab -- an essential part of learning how the virus works and developing new effective treatments.
In a study published in Nature on August 12, scientists led by The Rockefeller University's Charles M. Rice, Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Professor in Virology and head of the Laboratory of Virology and Infectious Disease, report that when they overexpressed a particular gene in human liver cancer cell lines, the virus could easily replicate. This discovery allows study of naturally occurring forms of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the lab.
Researchers engineered cultured cells to contain a red marker that moves into the nucleus upon HCV infection. Nothing happened when normal cells were exposed to HCV (top), but when the researchers expressed the protein SEC14L2, some nuclei changed color from blue to purple (bottom).

"Being able to easily culture HCV in the lab has many important implications for basic science research," says Rice. "There is still much we don't understand about how the virus operates, and how it interacts with liver cells and the immune system. "
Scientists have long attempted to understand what makes HCV tick, and in 1999 a group of German scientists succeeded in coaxing modified forms of the virus to replicate in cells in the laboratory. However, it was soon discovered that these forms of the virus were able to replicate because they had acquired certain "adaptive" mutations.
This was true for the vast majority of all samples from patients, except one, and left scientists with a puzzling question for more than a decade: What prevents non-mutated HCV from replicating in laboratory-grown cell lines? Rice and colleagues hypothesized that one or more critical elements might be missing in these cell lines.
To test this idea, they screened a library of about 7,000 human genes to look for one whose expression would allow replication of non-mutated HCV. When the scientists expressed the gene SEC14L2, the virus replicated in its wild-type, non-mutated form. Even adding serum samples from HCV-infected patients to these engineered cell lines resulted in virus replication.
"Practically speaking, this means that if scientists want to study HCV from an infected patient, it's now possible to take a blood sample, inoculate the engineered cells, and grow that patient's form of the virus in the lab," says first author Mohsan Saeed, a postdoc in Rice's laboratory.
It's not entirely clear how the protein expressed by SEC14L2 works, says Saeed, but it appears to inhibit lipids from interacting with dangerous reactive oxygen species, a process that prevents HCV replication.
Recent advances in HCV treatment have made it possible for millions of people to be cured of the virus. "New therapies, however, are extremely expensive and not perfect," Saeed notes. "As more patients are treated, drug resistant forms of HCV are emerging. Having a cell culture system where patient isolates can be grown and tested for resistance or susceptibility to alternative antiviral drug combinations should be useful for optimizing re-treatment strategies for those that fail treatment."
Even though effective therapies for HCV do exist, there is still much we need to understand about the virus, adds Saeed -- and understanding how HCV interacts with its host cell can help scientists learn more about similar viruses for which effective treatments have yet to be developed. "The lessons learned from one disease can be true for other diseases as well," he observes.

The second death anniversary of Padma Vibhushan Dr Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna was commemorated at Mahalakshmi temple in Eastham, London, on 24 November.
The event was organised by Kaza Business Consultants Ltd and it featured Indian dancers and singers from across the UK. All performances were based on exclusive compositions of the late Dr Balamuralikrishna.
The programme kicked off with an introductory speech by Geetha Kaza, who conceptualised the event. Following the traditional lamp lighting ceremony by Sitaraman, he reminisced fondly his personal interactions with the legend.
The opening performance was by Tanvi Sattiraju, who sang ‘Pari Parinee Paadame’, a composition devoted to Lord Ganesha. This was followed by a Kathak performance on Kalyani Thillana by Kavita Gupta. This performance highlighted Balamurali’s talent in melting away the difference between Hindustani and Carnatic classic.
Others who set the stage on fire were Kuchipudi dancer Santhi Ariparala, singer Tanvi Sattiraju, Bharatanatyam dancer Dr Chamu Kuppuswami and singer Veena Pani Kona among others.
The evening also featured Brindavani Thillana, a Bharatanatyam performance by Dr Nandita Kaza and Anusha Rajamani, who enthralled the audience with their brilliant beats; Kadanakutuhalam Thillana, another Bharatanatyam performance by Ashwini Deshpande; Padmini Karamcheti’s rendition of ‘Bhavame Mahabhagyamu’ and ‘Emi Setu Raa Linga’; and a dance performance by Alkananda Mohapatra.
The evening ended with a Kuchipudi performance by Sushma Pramod.

A trip to Cornwall isn’t the usual go-to weekend getaway approaching the winter period, though it should be for anyone seeking a break from city mayhem. During this period, everything becomes quieter and more tranquil. Family trips to the beach for water sports activities and sun-drenched patios are swapped for cosy afternoons in the pub in front of the fire with a local organic ale. A charming moodiness blankets the seaside towns of Looe and Polperro, reminding you to relax and sit back. Team Coco checks into Talland Bay Hotel just yards from the South West Coast Path and Talland Bay beach for a traditional and quintessentially British getaway. Here’s the verdict.
Setting the scene
Talland Bay Hotel is a luxury retreat surrounded by sprawling coastal views, secret footpaths and pebbled terraces in a tranquil corner of South East Cornwall. The building dates back to the 16th century and was once owned by the Trelawney family – of Bishop Trelawney fame – until 1919. Most recent awards include taking Gold in the ‘Small Hotel of the Year’ and Silver in the ‘Restaurant of the Year’ categories at the Cornwall Tourism Awards 2018/19 and Gold in the Taste of the West Awards. They’ve also been awarded four Stars and two Rosettes from The AA.
The 23-room boutique property offers a range of sea view rooms, classic rooms and garden suites. A tasteful palette turns quirky with hints of teal, sienna and ochre and an eclectic mix of ornaments that bedeck the walls inspired by the hotel’s designer, Penny. The sea view rooms are backdropped by pine-fringed lawns stretching down to the ocean. A wall separates the main bedroom from the walk-in wardrobe space which features a tasteful dressing table designed specifically for primping and multiple outfit changes.
Elegance and quirky somehow meet in this dinner setting which features a mishmash of ancient Chinese artefacts with Alice in Wonderland trinkets. The kitchen is headed by Nick Hawke who trained under Michelin-star influence before embarking on his culinary journey at Talland Bay. Indulge in the blackened moorland cross sirloin paired with Peacock Ridge Merlot for a concoction of rich flavours. The palate-cleansing raspberry sorbet paves the way for more indulging. For dessert, the prune soufflé arrives inflated and warm, accompanied by spiced bread ice cream and candied orange.
Around an hour before dinner, head over to the lounge for canapés and your gin of choice from a selection of 120 gins. The hotel’s very own Talland Bay No. 1 paired with Mediterranean tonic really hits the spot with subtle hints of pine and a carousel of refreshing botanicals. The relaxed bar area is peppered with obscure sculptures, jazzy zebra-patterned sofas, glamorous cobweb dusters and contrasting artwork.
Colwith Farm Distillery is the first gin and vodka distillery in Cornwall located right by Fowey. Guests are invited down to learn about the step-by-step process behind the distilling process from scratch using the new state-of-the-art facilities. You’ll discover how 1,000kg of King Edward potatoes are used to make a base spirit, produced from potatoes grown on the fifth-generation family farm near Fowey, and how this base spirit is transformed into a drinkable gin and are shipped all over.
The Globe pub is just a five-minute car journey from the distillery serving up some light lunch options and an assortment of local ales. Or pop over to the towns of Looe or Polperro for more cosy country pubs serving beef in ale pie with chips and gravy.

Five William and Mary students face criminal charges after a drug bust on Rolfe Road, police say.
Police found marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms (also known as “magic mushrooms” or “shrooms”) during an Oct. 17 search of a home on the 200 block of Rolfe Road, said Maj. Greg Riley of the Williamsburg Police Department.
Police also found capsules in the home, although they have not been identified yet.
William and Mary’s Timothy Andrew Claude, 20, Stephen Hu, 20, Daniel Joseph Martyak, 19 and Morrise Samuel Quierolo, 20, were charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and felony possession of a schedule I or II drug, Riley said.
A fifth person, Chevonne Robert Leighton, 20, was also charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession.
All of the men live at the house on Rolfe Road, at least on a temporary basis, Riley said.
Police initially responded to the house when a neighbor complained that the men were shooting air rifles into the neighbor’s back yard.
When officers talked to the residents they smell marijuana coming from inside the house and got a search warrant, Riley said.
