The art of the album has been lost in recent years. Everyone seems so focused on the “single” that the lost art of making an actual album has sort of gone by the wayside. That’s not the case for the band and album I’m about to talk about. You’ve heard me talk a lot about Centershift in the past year and rightfully so. This band is making strides to not only become one of your favorites but, also took the time to really make an album that from start to finish you feel it all. Every ounce of emotion poured into one fantastical ride through the trials and tribulations of life and this is only their first full length album. Centershift’s debut album, A Different Shade Of Color marks a triumphant return of making great albums.
The release of A Different Shade Of Color was put out in parts/EP’s in order to get parts of the story a little at a time and make you wonder where the next part will take you. The first seven songs present a very raw and emotional context to where the story takes you. Starting with “9” the story begins with a revelation of one’s self and the search for a new discovery but, before that can fully happen, the whole story must be told. As “My Own World” starts to take shape, you the listener start to get immersed into what is happening. As the album continues and flows, more of the story comes out as songs like “Dry Well, “Tell Me,” “Couldn’t Tell,” and “Kingdoms” all fit a balance that have a fury to them that while still melodic, brings out a heaviness both lyrically and musically that grabs you and sinks it’s claws in. With those claws sharply dug in, the journey continues with a bit of an epiphany with the song “And So.” This track leads you down another interesting road as the story unwinds a bit and goes through all the phases one might go through when dealing with a volitile situation or grief. The stages you go through during those times come out quite present on songs like “From Where We Are,” “Falling Into,” “Arise,” and the very deep and dark “Everything And Nothing,” The latter being quite the mini epic that will give you chills in a way that you can only feel by listening. Rounding out this chapter is “What If” a song that leaves you with a question while at the same time sets up the final chapter. “After All” kicks off the third act and signals the change and the light starts to shine a bit brighter. While “1014” delivers a bit of a kick to the head of positivity that reminds you to let the past go and enjoy the life and light that has begun. “Here Like Always” is one of those songs that gives you hope but also has a sensitivity to it that shines like the sun finally coming out after a cloudy day. The ending song of the album “Fade Away” brings it all together, recapping the whole journey but instead of falling backwards and back into the dark, the fading away into the light brings that new joy and life that “9” brought about to start the whole album off.
A Different Shade Of Color is an album not just for 2022 it’s one of those albums that is much needed in today’s musical world. The way this album flows and hits you is spine tingling and eye opening. The album provides hope and choices without the sense of giving up. Singer/Guitarist Jasan Radford’s voice is still top notch and the way he delivers the lyrics are astounding. The clarity and enunciation of the words make them stand out when it matters most. Guitarist Ryan Shane Stuber adds so much texture and balance to the songs with his style of playing. And the rhythm section of bassist Ted Wenri and drummer(s) Stefan Storace (and Michael Tarabotto who plays on certain songs) is thunderous and shattering without being too overtaking of the delicate melodies that ring throughout the songs. Also, having Jim Wirt (Incubus, Onesidezero, Fiona Apple) behind the boards and producing this album definitely helped to keep it as real and raw as possible.
I highly recommend this album to anyone and everyone. There are so many different moments and songs on the album that you will love instantly and others that will sneak up on you and hit you like a ton of bricks. One thing is for certain, Centershift made one of the most honest and pure albums of 2022. Over the past weekend as well, Centershift celebrated the release of the album with a Live Stream event. The concert was full of energy and excitement. The way the 4 of them connect on stage and throughout the songs shows that the chemistry between them is in full effect. I personally love the way that you can listen to the songs on the album and feel one way about them, then when you hear these songs live, they take on a new life. If you haven’t seen Centershift yet, that’s something else I strongly suggest you do! Cheers to Centershift on one hell of an album. One that not only they can stand tall and be proud of but, for those of us that long for an actual album that start to finish connects!

TimberGuide Pro is an iOS application that allows users to manage timber assets and collect data forms against those assets. Assets are a generic term that includes any natural or man-made features that users need to record information about in the field, such as tracts, stands, treatment areas, pipelines, gates, hunting camps, bridges, culverts and roads. Assets are represented as points, lines or polygons.
A common use case for the TimberGuide Pro application is tracking equipment on forest logging jobs. TimberGuide Pro provides a location logging feature that records a location point (latitude/longitude) every few seconds using the built-in GPS unit on the device. When the device is mounted in the cab of the machine, the machine operator can view their location on the ground relative to the boundary of an imported asset (stand, property, road, etc). Standard base map layers such as satellite view and street view are included by default, but users can also import custom base map layers. All of this combines to give operators and owners additional knowledge about the logging operation. In addition, operators can fill out data forms for assets recording things like time on the job, loads hauled, delivery and destination tickets, and compliance forms.
When used on logging jobs, these location logs are an important piece of the overall picture, as they allow logging contractors and harvest inspection teams to view the progression of the thinning or harvest. Exporting location logs from the TimberGuide Pro database is a straightforward process, and anyone with basic GIS experience can convert the output to feature classes to be used in mapping programs such as ArcGIS Pro or Terrain Navigator Pro. We will discuss this process in more detail next.
Accessing the Location Logs in the TimberGuide Pro Database
The TimberGuide database is used to permanently store information synchronized from the TimberGuide Pro iOS application. This is a cloud hosted database securely stored offsite, but it can be accessed like any other relational database using standard SQL commands and queries. Users with a basic knowledge of SQL can access the location records from the database views and tables and export them to a comma separated text file.
I prefer to use a client application called HeidiSQL to access the database. HeidiSQL is an open source tool that is capable of working with multiple database systems. Users can download HeidiSQL and set up a connection to the TimberGuide database, and run powerful queries in a matter of minutes.
With a SQL client, the following query is used to access all the location logs for the user with an id of 1 in the database.
SELECT * FROM location_logs WHERE user_id = 1;
Location logs may be queried by user, date, asset name or any other attributes within the location_logs table. For example, the following query would return all logs for user id 1, recorded on November 06, 2019.
SELECT * FROM location_logs WHERE user_id = 1 AND sequence_time BETWEEN '2019-11-06' AND '2019-11-07';
The location_log table provides attributes for latitude/longitude, altitude, speed, HDOP, PDOP, heading, and more. After the result set is returned, these logs can be exported from HeidiSQL to a comma-separated text file (CSV).
Below is an example of records from the location log CSV output in tabular form.
After obtaining the output, the next step is to create a point feature layer in ArcGIS. ArcGIS Pro has a tool in the Data Management Toolbox called “XY Table To Point”. Users can run this tool interactively (within ArcGIS Pro) or using Python code in a code window. This tool will create a point feature class (.shp) with one feature for each record in the CSV output table. The resulting feature class will contain every point recorded by the device that was included in the CSV file. This information can be used further to develop summary reports or maps of work progress.
The following maps show location log points recorded for a mid-rotation ground spraying operation using the TimberGuide Pro application. The first map shows the complete area where the work was performed. The second map shows the same job, but zoomed out to highlight the route our path of the equipment, in this case a skidder.
The final map shows harvest work from a recent logging operation. On this job, TimberGuide Pro is used with an iPad mounted in the cutting machine. This map highlights the work one machine accomplished over a four-day span (color coded by day). Loggers, owners and harvest inspectors can use this information to make better decisions in the field while the job is still active.
Location logs are just one of the many features included with the TimberGuide Pro iOS application. The process for exporting these logs is fairly simple and straightforward, but some basic knowledge of SQL is useful for creating more advanced queries. Data captured and synchronized by the iOS device is stored in a secure cloud database offsite.
Loggers, harvest supervisors, and foresters can use the location logs to track harvest progress, daily production, and to identify SMZ boundaries and other natural features on the ground. These logs are also useful for documentation purposes during audits and for evaluating harvest decisions such as set, road and skid trail placement.

The average person may find it difficult to imagine living long enough to see one great-grandchild. Hester Ford, however, is still going strong after having more than 200 great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
The Lancaster, South Carolina native, who is the oldest living American, celebrated another birthday on Saturday, 6ABC reported. But there is some confusion about her exact age. While her family says she was born in 1905, census documents reveal her birth year as 1904, making her 116 years old. What is for certain is that she gave birth to 12 children, who then birthed Ford's 48 grandchildren, who then gave life to her more than 200 great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
The oldest living American was born on this day in ~1904 in Lancaster County, South Carolina and turned 116 today. Happy Birthday to our mother, Miss Hester Ford ???? pic.twitter.com/LK3v3yW7Lj
— ment nelson (@mentnelson) August 15, 2020
According to WBTV, Ford's loved ones drove by the woman's house during her birthday on Saturday and left gifts on the driveway because of the pandemic.
Ford, who has been living in Charlotte, North Carolina, since the mid-1950s, received recognition in the city when Mayor Vi Lyles declared August 15 as Mother Hester Ford Day. The community also came together last year and organized a memorable birthday party for the distinguished resident, singing songs in a decorated event center as Ford sat next to her proclamation dressed in all pink.
Mary Hill, one of Ford's granddaughters, asked her grandmother about the secret to living a long life.
"I just live right, all I know," she responded.
The South Carolina native was raised on a farm, where she would pick cotton. She was 14 years old when she married John Ford. A year later, the couple gave birth to their first child.
The family moved to Charlotte after selling their farm. John, who worked at a steel mill, died at age 57 in 1963. Ford lived without assistance until she was 108 years old. Her family became worried when the elderly woman fell in the bathtub at that point and brought in some help.
Ford, who is now living with two of her daughters, still feeds herself and goes for walks with a walker. And she loves to recite scriptures. Although she hasn't been able to go to church because of the pandemic, the devout Christian gets communion from Hill, who is an ordained minister.
The faithful woman received a birthday cake decorated with scripture, saying “The Lord is my shepherd.” But the family avoided the hassle of putting 116 candles on the cake and only displayed 16.
“We just thank God for just keeping her here for us, because it gives us hope,” Hill said. “We would never want her to be here if she was sick. We want her to have a great quality of life in her elder years. We don’t want her to be sick or anything, and trying to hold on. We’re just a blessed family.”
Hill also quoted scripture to theorize how her grandmother has come to live such a long life.
"Honor your mother and father and your days will be long on the land,” she said.
Ford became the oldest living American after the death of Alelia Murphy in New York, who passed away at 114 years and 140 days old in November, reports WBTV. Kane Tanaka of Japan, who is 117 years old, is the oldest living human in the world.

Writing is, for the most part, a solitary endeavor.
To a certain extent, one needs a quiet place with few distractions. For there are times when the ideas are flowing so fast that your fingers can barely keep up and to be disturbed would be to lose those ideas.
And yet, no author can write in a vacuum. It is the world around us that inspires us. Shut yourself away for too long from the world and you effectively shut yourself away from yourself.
I'm a writer. But I'm also a wife and a mom to a couple of fur babies. You could call me a cook (but never a chef, I'm not that good) and provisioner as well. Laundress? Yeah. Probably. I design jewelry and I crochet. But mostly I love to write. I love words and how they sound. I love their meanings and origins. I love stringing them together. And of course, I love to read. Thinking about it just now, I realize that what I love most is life and the people around me with a special place set aside for my wonderful husband, our adorable dog and our inscrutable cat. It's the world and the people in it that fuels my writing. So thanks to you all for being the amazing beings that you are.

In a similar vein, we all want our writing to be shared and experienced by others, so yes, we can’t exist in a vacuum. I tend to like it there though. It’s always quiet.

The beauty of this easy stir-fry is that you can use almost any vegetables that you have on hand. Substitute snap peas, snow peas, mushroom, bok choy or onions for the red peppers, broccoli or carrots.
The sauce is as simple as whisking together a few ingredients. Both the hoisin and chili garlic sauces can be found in the international food section of most supermarkets. They both will stay fresh in the fridge for several months, and always come in handy when you want to put a quick stir-fry on the table.
Easy pork stir-fry with vegetables and hoisin sauce
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced crosswise
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1-1/2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the pork tenderloin to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pork to a bowl and set aside.
- To the pan, add the remaining 2 teaspoons of canola oil, then add the carrots. Cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and red bell pepper and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Return the pork to the pan, along with the hoisin sauce mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Deliveries of single-seat su-27sm3 a mid-life update and two-seat Su-30SM and Su-30M2 multi-role fighters are also underway. Exercises are being held more frequently than in the 1990s and in-flight refuelling of various aircraft, including tactical bombers, is practiced on a much wider scale than before, as are long-range flights by groups of fighters.
Russian Tactical Aviation: Since 2001 #ad - The book, companion to the highly successful Soviet Tactical Aviation, illustrates the current state of the Russian Air Force's tactical aviation as well as its recent history in various overseas conflicts. Details are given of the aviation bases units, their locations and the principal types currently in service.
Much attention has been paid to combat training. Much importance has attached to fleet renewal and upgrading of the Russian Tactical Aviation capability. Russian tactical aviation is illustrated throughout with many previously unpublished photos, including air-to-air shots during recent Russian Force exercises, as well as color profiles of Russian tactical aircraft and helicopters operated by various aviation bases.
Production and deliveries of the su-34 tactical bomber are continuing and for want of a next-generation attack aircraft, the Russian Air Force is continuing to upgrade its Su-25 fleet--the latest Su-25SM3 is now in service. In the 20-odd post-soviet years the russian Air Force has been repeatedly reformed and in the course of the reforms the importance of Tactical Aviation has risen.
Russia's Air-launched Weapons: Russian-made Aircraft Ordnance TodayHarpia Publishing #ad - Also included are the range of strategic munitions currently fielded or in development for the Russian Air Force, including cruise missiles and nuclear bombs. Addressing a previously neglected field within aerospace research and publishing, Russia's Air-launched Weapons will appeal to aircraft and weapons enthusiasts and conflict researchers alike.
This latest volume in harpia's new-look format continues the publisher's aim of providing unrivalled detail and accuracy in its coverage of lesser-known areas of air warfare research. See:. This latest volume in harpia's new-look format continues the publisher's aim of providing unrivalled detail and accuracy in its coverage of lesser-known areas of air warfare research.
Russia's Air-launched Weapons: Russian-made Aircraft Ordnance Today #ad - Following harpia publishing's acclaimed two-volume series Russia's Warplanes, author and researcher Piotr Butowski sheds light on the full range of air-launched ordnance of Russian origin that can be found in large-scale service today. This unique reference work provides a wealth of information - most of which has been gained from first-hand and internal industry sources - on the full spectrum of Russian aircraft-launched weapons.
Supported by newly commissioned artworks and extensive specification tables, rockets, chapters describe in detail air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, guided and free-fall bombs and cluster munitions, as well as aircraft guns.
Sukhoi Su-27 & 30/33/34/35: Famous Russian AircraftCrecy Publishing #ad - Richly illustrated with color photographs, line drawings and color profiles of the various color schemes carried by the type, this is the definitive work on a truly outstanding aircraft. The book covers the design and testing of the prototypes in both configurations, the production entry of the basic Su-27 single-seat fighter and the Su-27UB two-seat combat trainer together with the efforts of Sukhoi to keep them up to date with mid-life upgrades to Generation 4++' Su-35S level.
This book tells the story of how the original project developed, how the final configuration of what was known as the T-10 was selected and why the brave decision to scrap the original project and rework it as the T-10S was taken, a decision that proved to be justified. These naval variants are included in the book as is a chapter describing the story of how China purchased license manufacturing rights for the Su-27 and went on to develop its own versions with indigenous avionics and weapons, including the basic J-11 fighter and the J-15 Flying Shark--a clone of the Su-33.
The post-soviet republics included, ethiopia, angola, malaysia, the Su-27/Su-30/Su-34/Su-35 family has seen service with nearly 20 nations, including places as far apart as Vietnam, Indonesia, India and Venezuela. The book describes in depth the development and operational career of the Su-27 family, including mid-life upgrades and the latest variants, and features detailed fleet lists.
Sukhoi Su-27 & 30/33/34/35: Famous Russian Aircraft #ad - The operational histories of su-27 versions including the Su-30/Su-34/Su-35 are also described. When the soviet navy decided to bolster its fleet with carriers optimized for conventional take-off and landing CTOL aircraft, Sukhoi responded by developing the Su-27K, which later entered service as the Su-33, Russia's first operational CTOL shipboard fighter.
The sukhoi design bureau was tasked in 1969 with developing a fourth-generation heavy fighter and thus began the story of the Su-27, known to the western world as the Flanker--an aircraft which turned out to be one of the most successful Soviet fighter designs.
Russia's Warplanes. Volume 2: Russian-made Military Aircraft and Helicopters TodayHarpia Publishing #ad - Between them, the two works present in full detail the fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters that equip the various Russian air arms, as well as those developed for and operated by foreign states in the post-Soviet era. Alongside technical descriptions for each military aircraft – and every significant sub-variant – currently available from Russia’s aerospace industry, or otherwise in large-scale service, Piotr Butowski provides historical background and accurate data relating to production and operators around the world.
Full coverage is extended to upgrades, as well as the new avionics and advanced weapons that these introduce. The second volume in the series is dedicated to long-range bombers – including the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 that recently made their combat debuts over Syria – maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare aircraft, theater transports, strategic transport and tanker aircraft, and trainers.

Russia's Warplanes. Volume 1: Russia-made Military Aircraft and Helicopters Today: Volume 1Harpia Publishing #ad - Additional assets, strategic transport and tanker aircraft, maritime aircraft, theater and special purpose transports, including long-range bombers, and air-launched weapons will be dealt with in Volume 2. Supplemented by many photographs, as well as specially created maps and diagrams, some of which from exclusive sources, Volume 1 of Russia’s Warplanes launches the most comprehensive study of the fixed- and rotary wing aircraft types – manned and unmanned – that can currently be found in Russian service or which are being built or offered for export.
As such, the breadth of this work extends from the latest multi-role fighters developed by Mikoyan and Sukhoi, via successive generations of combat rotorcraft, to airborne early warning and electronic intelligence-gatherers. As well as familiar types such as the su-30mk family of fighters and mi-24/35 assault helicopters that have proven so successful on the export market, Russia’s Warplanes extends its reach to the various new and upgraded types that are beginning to populate Russia’s rejuvenated air arms, including those still under development, including the enigmatic ‘fifth-generation’ Sukhoi T-50 fighter.
Russia's Warplanes. Volume 1: Russia-made Military Aircraft and Helicopters Today: Volume 1 #ad - As well as outlining aircraft that currently equip the various Russian air arms, the first of two volumes also takes into account aircraft developed for and fielded by foreign states in the post-Soviet era. Piotr butowski provides authoritative technical descriptions for each military aircraft – and every significant sub-variant – currently available from Russia’s aerospace industry, or otherwise in large-scale service.

Tupolev Tu-16: Versatile Cold War BomberSchiffer Military History #ad - The type saw quite a bit of combat―from the Six-Days War of 1967 to the Afghan War. It was the first soviet medium bomber to feature swept wings, and it was built around a pair of turbojets that were the world's most powerful jet engines at the time. Developed to meet a soviet ministry of defense requirement for a fast bomber that would counter the threat posed by NATO, the Tu-16 was a ground-breaking project.
It also served as the basis for the first Soviet jet airliner, the Tu-104. The tu-16 was also produced in China and remains in Chinese service to this day. The book features many hitherto unpublished photos. Harpia Publishing. First flown in 1952, reconnaissance, the Tu-16 filled such roles as nuclear bomb delivery, missile strike, and Electronic Counter Measures.
Tupolev Tu-16: Versatile Cold War Bomber #ad - All known versions are described, as is the Tu-16's operational career. Nearly 1, and the tu-16 showed remarkable longevity, 500 were built for the Soviet Air Force and the Soviet Navy, the final examples being retired in 1993.
T-90 Standard Tank: The First Tank of the New Russia New VanguardOsprey Publishing #ad - In the wake of the t-72 tank's poor performance in the 1991 Gulf War, the Kremlin instructed the Russian tank industry to drop the discredited T-72 designation in favor of the T-90 Vladimir. Harpia Publishing. The t-90 was in fact a further evolution of the T-72 family, but the name change represented an important break in Russian/Soviet tank design history.
Using detailed illustrations and full color artwork, this book will also describe the evolution of the T-90s many failed successors including the little known Bokser, Molot, as well as its likely successor, the new T-14 Armata, and T-95, and the wide range of specialized vehicles based on the T-90 chassis such as the formidable Terminator tank support vehicle.
T-90 Standard Tank: The First Tank of the New Russia New Vanguard #ad - The t-90 has become the principal export tank of Russia, and is in service in large numbers in many countries including Algeria, India, and many of the former Soviet republics.
Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Air Force - Combat Aircraft and UnitsHarpia Publishing #ad - Harpia Publishing. The centerpiece consists of almost 100 fully illustrated pages detailing the organizational structure of the air force, providing an easy-to-use review of all known flying units, their equipment and their markings. In parallel, the general structure has been thoroughly modernized to cope with China’s latest challenges.
Consequently, this fully revised edition is organized in three parts: the most important military aircraft and their weapons found in service today; aircraft markings and serial number systems; and orders of battle for the PLAAF. No other book has ever attempted to present this level of accuracy in this way: Modern Chinese Air Power portrays the PLAAF in a degree of detail that was previously unavailable.
The study includes the latest developments emerging from behind the ‘Great Wall’, including the J-20 stealth fighter program, Y-20 strategic transport and the latest developments in UAVs that are equipping a rapidly modernizing air arm. In 2012 the original modern chinese warplanes set the standard as a uniquely compact yet comprehensive directory of modern Chinese air power, combining magnificent illustrations and in-depth analysis.
Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Air Force - Combat Aircraft and Units #ad - What is more, the structure of the people’s Liberation Army Air Force PLAAF has been completely revised by transforming the former Military Regions into Theatre Commands. However, in the time that has passed since the first edition a plethora of new types, systems and weapons has been revealed. Now almost six years later, much of the fascination that Chinese military aviation holds for the analyst and enthusiast still stems from the thick veil of secrecy that surrounds it.
Russian Strategic Aviation TodayHikoki Publications #ad - Harpia Publishing. Backed up by around 600 photographs, many previously unreleased, detailed line drawings and color profiles including individual names and nose art, this book provides a wealth of information for the historian and modeler alike. Russian strategic aviation today is a companion volume to Soviet Strategic Aviation - In the Cold War, which together present a unique insight into the strategic aircraft of the Soviet and Russian air forces since 1945.
Russia began by recovering some of the heavy bomber assets left outside its borders, eight Tu-160 Blackjacks, the Tu-95MS Bear-Hs based in Kazakhstan, and three Tu-95MS Backfire-Cs of the bomber fleet taken over by the Ukraine. Flown by the russian air force's 37th air army, amongst others, these bombers were involved in, the military operation to stop the Georgian aggression against South Ossetia in August 2008.
Russian Strategic Aviation Today #ad - The russian air force's strategic bomber component was inherited from the Soviet Air Force after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Russian strategic aviation today includes a development and design history of the Blackjack, Bear, their armament, and Backfire, unit badges, and insignia of the Russian units operating them.
President putin's ride in a tu-160 during a major exercise in which he performed a live missile launch is well documented, as is a visit to Venezuela by three Tu-160s which caused much dismay in the USA.

Butland's Strange England Situation.
Due to Joe Hart pulling out of the England squad, Blues goalkeeper Jack Butland stands a chance of making his England debut for the friendly with Italy on Wednesday night.
Hart suffered a back spasm which ruled him out of Sunday's FA Community Shield game against Chelsea at Villa Park.
This means that Butland or John Ruddy will be making their first England senior appearance, or then again they may both play.
Butland replaced Ruddy in the Euro 2012 competition and although he did not make an appearance for the three lions, he did impress all with his hard work and enthusiasm for the game in training.
Butland has also had the experience in playing in front of big crowds at major venues in the Olympics where he also did very well indeed.
Originally, Butland would have flown out to Switzerland where the game is being played but would return for Blues Capital One cup game against Barnet.
But now he looks to be heading for an England cap before he has played a game for his club.

President Jacob Zuma wishes to convey his deepest condolences to the family, friends and comrades of Ms Amina Cachalia, a struggle stalwart and long-time friend of former President Nelson Mandela, who passed on today in Johannesburg. She was 82 years old.
A seasoned campaigner for women's rights and one of the Liberation Movement's foremost stalwarts, Amina came from a fiercely political family and dedicated her life full-on to the emancipation of all oppressed people in South Africa. Her political activism saw her in leading roles as a member of the Transvaal Indian Youth Congress and Transvaal Indian Congress, treasurer of FEDSAW, patron of the Federation of Transvaal Women, among others.
She had several stints in prison such as when she was arrested during the 1952 Defiance Campaign and also participated in the 1956 Women's March against pass laws, becoming a banned person at various stages.

SPROUTWELL GREENHOUSES PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sproutwell Greenhouses is a business which started out selling greenhouses on Ebay part time. As the success of the business grew, the owners decided they needed a more professional brand identity and require help to start building their own brand. This is where Brown Ink stepped in and helped develop a strategy around their brand..
From the outset it was important Sproutwell was viewed to be the market leader with innovative development of their products. The aim with their original e-commerce website (we have built two for them), was to leverage their clients away from ebay and to get them purchasing through their website. The second website built in early 2015 was to utilise the latest technology eg. mega menu, responsive design. It was also a great excuse to review and restructure the way the products where displayed on the website.
Since their inception in 2009 Sproutwell has gone from strength to strength and can now proudly say they are the leading seller of enthusiast Greenhouses in Australia.

Novel Series of Pyrimidine Derivatives as Anti-inflammatory Agents
Keywords:Pyrimidine, anti-inflammatory activity, rat paw edema
A series of compound 6-bromo-3-(6-substitutedphenyl)-2-(morpholinomethylamino) pyrimidin-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one (BT1M-T10M), 3(2-((piperidin-1-yl) methylamino)-6- (2-substitutedphenyl) pyrimidin-4-yl)-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-one (BT1P-BT10P) has been synthesized from 3-(2-amino-6 -pyrimidin- 4-yl)-6- bromo- 2H-chromen-2-one (T1-T10). The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by I.R., 1HNMR, elemental analysis and mass spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were screened for in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight by a carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method. Among them, compounds BT8M, BT4P, BT5P, and BT7P exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity. Compounds BT3M, BT9M, BT10M, BT9P, and BT10P showed highly significant anti-inflammatory activity. The remaining compounds showed less anti-inflammatory activity, comparable to that of standard drug diclofenac sodium.

Most people will tell you that the nonstick coating and even heat distribution are the only things that make a frying pan the best. While we agree with the two factors, we believe there is another factor, which also contributes directly to the performance of a frying pan. And this is the lid. Yes, the lid prevents moisture and flavor from escaping, thereby, ensuring perfect results. That said, your pan should not just be nonstick but also it should come with a lid.
Lids also prevent unwanted materials and even insects from getting into food. Additionally, lids keep food warm for some time after the cooking process is over to ensure maximum convenience. Since we want you to experience all the benefits of a lidded nonstick frying pan, we have written the following top 10 best non stick frying pans with lids reviews.
Table Best Non Stick Frying Pans with Lids
1. Cuisinart 622-30G Nonstick 12-Inch Skillet
The reason why Cuisinart has used hard-anodized to make this 12-inch skillet is that hard-anodized is harder than stainless steel. Plus it is dense and non-porous not to mention having the ability to resist wear. Because of all these traits, they give superior durability and professional performance. What’s more, Cuisinart has not just made the non-stick skillet with hard-anodized and stopped there. They have gone an extra mile to reinforce the quantanium nonstick interior with titanium, so it can offer lasting food release and healthy non-fat cooking option. The nonstick interior also makes the surface of this skillet amazingly easy to clean. Another great thing that Cuisinart has done is to back the skillet with a limited lifetime warranty.
- Great for cooking minced garlic in olive oil
- Cooks evenly and works as advertised
- Steady and not flimsy like other frying pans
- The handle is made of solid stainless steel
- Very easy to wash after use
- The handle tends to get hot over time
2. T-fal B36090 Black Nonstick Saute Pan (5-Quart)
With a 5-quart capacity, this nonstick sauté pan can cook family-sized meals. It measures 12 inches in diameter and has a depth of 3 inches. For this reason, expect it to cook just enough food for the whole family. Ideally, the total size of this sauté pan is not bad either, considering that it only measures 22 inches long from handle to handle. Another reason why we like this sauté pan is that its surface is nonstick to give you healthy cooking results because it does not require much oil. The exterior, on the other hand, also makes cooking much easier than you think. This frying pan comes with a glass lid, which is clear enough to let you watch the cooking progress.
- Large and deep to cook lots of food
- The side handle improves convenience
- The lid looks nice and is easy to clean
- The price is competitive
- The lighter frame makes the frying pan easy to carry
- The pan is likely to warp without proper care
3. Calphalon 1932340 Grey Nonstick Fry Pan (12 Inch)
This is another high performing nonstick fry pan we would like to talk about comprehensively. It is a 12” frying pan that displays gently sloping sides with flared edges to make frying much easier than ever before. Additionally, it comes with a cover, and this makes it ideal for preparing fish, chops, steaks, and chicken. To make sure you have zero problems cleaning the frying pan after use, the manufacturer has built it with a dual-layer nonstick interior. Well, the nonstick interior also makes food release a breeze, and this further justifies the reason why this pan should not miss from your kitchen. The frying pan is made of long-lasting hard-anodized for professional performance. Plus its handle is long and designed to stay cool on the stovetop.
- Big enough to prepare a meal for many people
- Flat on the bottom to make cooking easier
- Great for searing chicken breasts and scrambling eggs
- Well constructed and designed
- Food does not stick to the surface
- The material is a bit thin.
4. Copper Chef 10 Inch Round Frying Pan
This durable and round frying pan will totally change how you sauté meals in the kitchen. It is 10 inches in diameter, and this means you can rely on it to cook food for the entire family. In addition, the pan comes with a glass lid, which is great for preserving the flavor of food while it is cooking. Its nonstick surface is very slick, and, therefore, food will not stick. Well, this makes the pan the best for cooking steaks, whipping cream, broiling fish, baking chicken, as well as frying omelets, meat, eggs, and bacon. Since this frying pan is made of CeramiTech coating, expect it to be a healthy choice for everyday cooking. It is also eco-friendly to give you confidence that you are not being harsh to your environment.
- Comes with directions for cleaning and seasoning
- Heats up pretty fast and cooks evenly
- The price is a bargain
- Washes very quickly and easily

5. Utopia Kitchen Nonstick 11 Inch Deep Frying Pan
This frying pan is very deep, and we are certain that you will find it handy for several activities. It is constructed with professional-grade 3003 aluminum alloy, which makes it very light; hence, easy to carry around. The aluminum alloy also makes the pan durable enough to stand up to the rigors of everyday use.

Handles of this frying pan are designed to retain shape and resist scratching. You will, therefore, have a clean and nice looking frying pan season in season out.

The manufacturer has bonded together alternating layers of aluminum and stainless steel to ensure that heat is distributed evenly without the formation of hot spots.

The coating is also durable and wear-resistant to give you professional results over a pretty long time.

The base is induction compatible; hence, it makes the frying pan perfect for all cooking sources. It heats quickly and evenly to ensure exceptional results every time it is used.

It comes with a tempered glass lid that helps keep food warm inside the pan until it is ready for serving. The lid is also clear, given that it is made of tempered glass. For this reason, you will be able to keep an eye on whatever you are preparing. Because the selling point of most pans is even heat distribution, this copper skillet measures a whopping 3.0 millimeters for maximum heat control and distribution.

People also like it because it is hard-anodized for superior durability.

Buyer’s Guide for the Best Non-stick Frying Pan with Lid
Although you have already read the above compilation about the top 10 best frying pans, we have a feeling you still need more information. That’s why we present to you the following factors to consider when buying a frying pan with lid.
- The Size and Depth
Choose a frying pan depending on the people you plan to feed. That means consider a nonstick frying pan with a large diameter if you plan to use it to cook family-sized meals and vice versa. Also, you should consider the depth of the pan. That being said, you should go for a deeper or slightly deeper pan because they are much easier to use than their shallow counterparts.
- The Material Used
The material used to make a nonstick frying pan you are interested in should be durable. In addition, it should heat fast and evenly to ensure professional and consistent performance. It should also be easy to clean once cooking is over. Some of the materials with these qualities are aluminum, stainless steel, and copper.
- Quality of the Lid
The lid of a frying pan can either enhance or compromise the performance of a pan. Therefore, make sure the lid of the pan you go for is clear to allow for easy monitoring of food. It should also fit nicely to help preserve the flavor of food not to mention keeping it hot.
- The Weight of the Pan
Heavy nonstick frying pans always have evenly heated surface and they are durable. However, they are difficult to handle. Lightweight nonstick frying pans, on the other hand, are easy to handle, but they may not have evenly heated surface. With this in mind, consider a mid-weight frying pan.
- The Handle
The best nonstick frying pan should have their handles securely attached to them to improve convenience and safety. Talking of safety, the handle should stay cool to the touch to let you grab it easily while the cooking is ongoing. The handle should also be ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip during cooking.
- Oven Safety
If you plan to put your nonstick frying pan in the oven most of the time, go for a unit that is oven safe up to very high temperatures. This is because nonstick pans that cannot withstand high temperatures are likely to warp when placed in an oven. They will, therefore, get damaged faster than expected. What’s more, consider frying pans with no plastic materials as far as oven safety is concerned.
You have all the reasons to buy a nonstick frying pan with lid. First, these pieces of cookware come with lids that help keep food warm as well as retaining the flavor of food. Second, they are versatile, and, therefore, you can use them for searing, browning, frying, and cooking. These pans are also easy to clean because of their nonstick surfaces. Don’t let this opportunity pass you; get one from the above list today.

Lecture Spotlight: Finance May Heal What Ails YouCould finance one day find the cure for cancer?
Not exactly, but Andrew W. Lo, director of MIT's Laboratory for Financial Engineering, argues that financial engineers could harness the power of global markets - in a manner similar to the way large amounts of money was made available for mortgages, leading to the recent financial crisis - to open up the billions of dollars needed to support the next generation of medical research.
Lo, one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2012, will discuss this topic in this year's Nash Lecture, "Can Financial Engineering Cure Cancer?" The lecture will be held at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 27 in Porter Hall 100 (Gregg Hall), with a reception following.
Lo is an expert in portfolio theory and financial engineering, which uses mathematical and computational technology to create diversified portfolios that balance monetary risks and rewards.
Lo and collaborators argue that current methods of funding biomedical research don't provide enough financial resources to sufficiently find cures for some of the most pervasive diseases such as cancer. They have proposed that multibillion-dollar pools of funding can be created through public and private investment and long-term debt, and used to support medical research.
Lo is the Harris & Harris Group Professor of Finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management and a principal investigator at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1984 and taught at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School from 1984 to 1988.
He has published numerous articles in finance and economics journals, and has authored several books including "The Econometrics of Financial Markets," "A Non-Random Walk Down Wall Street" and "Hedge Funds: An Analytic Perspective."
Lo is founder and chief investment strategist of AlphaSimplex Group, LLC, an investment advisory firm in Cambridge, Mass.
The biennial Nash lecture is named after John F. Nash, Jr., who in 1948 earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from then Carnegie Institute of Technology and his doctoral degree from Princeton in 1950. In 1994, Nash, along with John Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten, received the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for their pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-cooperative games. This work, sometimes called the Nash Equilibrium, has greatly influenced research in economics and finance.

Social housing and care charity Transform Housing & Support has signed a three-year contract with LIMA Networks to deliver a fully managed IT digital system for the organisation.
The move forms part of Transform’s aim to maximise the use of new digital technology in a bid to continually improve the range of services it provides to 2,000 clients each year. Transform supports people to live independent and fulfilling lives by providing housing, support and homecare in Surrey, West Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and south west London.
The tender and procurement was prepared and managed by Claire Davidson Consultancy Ltd alongside SHAW Consultancy, who wrote the Digital Strategy. IT consultant Claire Davidson has been supporting Transform with modernising its IT infrastructure. LIMA had really understood the key drivers for an organisation like Transform, she explained. “LIMA demonstrated that the company could enable Transform to accelerate the rollout of its new digital strategy to deliver an agile and resilient way of working, ahead of the expected 2021/22 launch timeline,” she said. “They have been innovative in their thinking and have been able to show Transform what is truly possible.”
The services LIMA will be providing Transform include migrating the organisation’s infrastructure and applications to Microsoft 365/Azure* while deploying SDWAN – a virtualised network that allows Transform to manage the 20 sites remotely without the need for on-premises support – and Windows Virtual Desktop, to deliver a smooth, effective and reliable desktop experience for staff. The project aims to deliver scale and agility through a platform which provides resilience, performance and efficiency.
With a very small IT department comprising of only two staff members, a fully managed service had been the right solution for Transform, Claire Davidson added. The team could now focus on getting the best out of the technology available to them and making sure that the organisation’s digital programmes, services and infrastructure could fully meet the demands of the challenging social housing and charity sector post-Covid-19.
Director of Finance and IT at Transform Housing & Support Ratna Sukumaran said the contract with LIMA represented a major step forward for Transform. “It will provide a firm foundation for the implementation of our digital strategy,” he added. “In particular, the implementation of Microsoft 365 will enable us to work differently and more flexibly in the future.”
Ryan Ratcliffe, CSO LIMA Networks, said the company was delighted to be working with Transform Housing & Support at this exciting stage in its journey. “Transform is an innovative, forward-thinking organisation that shares similar cultures and values to LIMA and we are looking forward to supporting them throughout their digital transformation,” he said.
Claire Davidson said she was excited about how Transform would be able to utilise the new technology. “Microsoft 365 will mobilise the organisation’s workforce and allow it to embrace opportunities to deliver services in the ‘new normal’ workplace we are in as a result of coronavirus,” she added. “Transform now has options to explore and a leading, progressive partner in LIMA to achieve that.”

The author reviews the Kappa KP-5 LSA, imported by Kappa Aircraft from the Czech Republic. This is a conventional, low-wing, trigear configuration airplane, with a staggered seating arrangement that allows more room for each occupant, while keeping the cockpit narrow. The KP-5 is powered by a 100-horsepower Rotax 912 ULS engine and a Woodcomp three-blade prop, and has a useful load of 583 pounds. Full-power airspeed is stated as 138 mph. Avionics equipment includes a Dynon EFIS and engine monitor, Garmin GPSMAP 496 and Garmin transponder.
You've invested thousands of hours building your airplane, and now its time to pick a paint design that will show off all that hard work to best effect. But how do you go about selecting one of innumerable designs? Susan Brunner offers some tips on not only how to narrow the field, but also how to make sure you get the paint job you envisioned.

Utah's delegates had an interesting day in New Orleans Wednesday, impersonating Sen. Orrin Hatch, having a tooth repaired for free and talking about education.
- Delegate Jack Roberts signed up more than 40 people who are interested in visiting Utah. He found it easy because people mistook him for Hatch.During some of the more boring speeches at the National Republican Convention, Roberts walked up to groups of delegates and passed around the cards. The tall, thin Roberts doesn't look a lot like Hatch, but he was wearing an Orrin Hatch re-election button and many mistook him for Utah's junior senator.
"They said, `Sure, we'll glad to help you, Sen. Hatch.' I didn't correct them," Roberts smiled.
Republicans are collecting cards from delegates for tourist information in response to the Democrats gathering 700 travel cards during their convention in Atlanta last month.
- Delegate Jim Campbell had a more troublesome day.
New Orleans is known for its good food and friendly people. Campbell got a taste of both. He broke a tooth on some delicious dish and went to a local dentist to repair the damage. After telling the doctor he was from Utah, the dentist refused to charge him for the work, saying he was planning to visit Utah later this year and maybe he'd look Campbell up and let him return the favor.
- Former Education Secretary T.H. Bell spoke to a group of educa-tors who support Vice President George Bush. Current Education Secretary William Bennett and former Labor Secretary William Brock also addressed the group.
"We spoke on Bush's education platform. I'm very excited about it. Bush has the best positions on education of any presidential candidate in my memory," Bell said.
"More than 30 percent of all our students don't make it past the ninth grade. Yet, 85 percent of the jobs of the future will require training beyond high school," Bell said. "The future belongs to the intelligent. How are we going to educate our children to make sure they are ready to be the leaders of this world? George Bush has such a plan."
- Gov. Norm Bangerter had to leave the convention Thursday morning to fly home, just to leave again on an economic development trip with Sen. Jake Garn and industrialist Jon Huntsman - whom Bangerter has named Utah's ambassador of economic development.

Iran shot down a U.S. drone on June 19, further escalating tensions between Iran and its adversaries.
Relations with Iran have been worsening for months. In early May, one year after the United States withdrew from the nuclear dealnegotiated in 2015 between Iran, the U.S., the European Union and five other countries, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that his country may also withdraw from the agreement, which limits its ability to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for lifting sanctions.
In June, Rouhani announced that Iran will restart uranium enrichment, which could put the country on track to develop a nuclear weapon within a year. Rouhani’s government insists its uranium will go to civilian nuclear power, not weapons.

How can a revived love for plants and a deep understanding of form-giving to our environment lead us out of the many crises we are currently facing? At its best, landscape architecture merges ecology and design to create landscapes that work with the site, not against it. In this lecture, Anette Freytag gives an insight into her research and travels during her sabbatical. She investigated how this profession can benefit from a deep understanding of the history of designing with nature and a new care for the plants involved. Anette argues that two concepts – Biophilia and Topology – can help society to better deal with our current environmental crisis and improve well-being for all. She will show recent research and preservation work as well as her community engaged spatial justice projects, where she works with arts integration.
Anette Freytag is a Professor of the History and Theory of Landscape Architecture at Rutgers University. Her research focuses on designed landscapes from the 19th century to the contemporary practice with a particular focus on topology, phenomenology, and walking. Anette Freytag’s research has been supported by the Rutgers Research Council, the Volkswagen Foundation, the Lucius and Annemarie Burckhardt Foundation, the Christoph Merian Foundation and various other associations and private donors.
Her books have been honored with the J. B. Jackson Book Prize, the European Garden Book Award, the DAM Architectural Book Award, and many more. Before joining Rutgers University, Anette has taught at ETH Zurich, the University of Basel, the University of Innsbruck, and KU Leuven. She was a visiting scholar at the Central Institute for Art History in Munich, the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. In 2019, she co-founded the Arts Integration Research Collaborative (AIR), which prioritizes creative placemaking to foster spatial justice through projects that seek safe access to nature for all.

Statement: ANPUD calls on Bangladesh government to immediately stop the war on drugs
Stop the extra-judicial killings of people suspected of using or selling drugs in Bangladesh immediately.
The Asian Network of People who Use Drugs (ANPUD) urgently calls on Hon. Prime Minister Mrs. Sheikh Hasina and Hon. Home Minister Mr. Asaduzzaman Khan of the government of Bangladesh to immediately stop the extra-judicial killings of people suspected of using or selling drugs. We express our grave concerns over the war on drugs approach opted by the Bangladesh government that has already resulted in over 100 lives and over 12000 arrests since its launch in mid-May 2018.
As a network of people who use drugs who has been committed towards advocating for equal rights and opportunities for our constituency, we would like to underscore the fact that the war on drugs approach to the drug problem is a serious violation of international human rights and drug control treaties. We would also like to urgently remind you both that inflicting such inhumane approach on the people of Bangladesh is also a violation of the constitutional rights of the people – where article 35(3) of the constitution reads “Every person accused of a criminal offence shall have the right to speedy and public trial by an independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law.”
Bangladesh National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Kazi Reazul Hoque has urged Home Minister to ensure that the rights of accused and suspected drug peddlers are protected and to take step to arrest and put them on trial. International news media have been likening your response as Philippines-style approach. For your information, in February 2018, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has opened a preliminary examination into the war on drugs in the Philippines.
As someone who has been recognized internationally as one of the most influencing women leaders, you do not want bloodstains of your own citizens in your 40 years of political reputation that could soon lead to ICC investigations for your crimes against humanity.
Stop beating around the bush – Understand the real problem
Madam Prime Minister and Sir Home Minister, the drugs problem that Bangladesh as well as every neighboring country in the Asian region is facing has multifaceted factors. It is important to understand that we no longer live in the era when drugs were mostly consumed by a group of hippies, but this is the era where drugs are consumed by various populations to get various effects on their life. For instance, young generations consume drugs to have fun with friends or just out of curiosity; students consume drugs to stay awake for longer hours and study harder before their exams; workers/labors consume drugs to be able to work for prolonged hours and get paid for their increased productivity; patients/adults may be consuming drugs to heal their physiological or psychological pain.
As eminent leaders of a country, we understand that you are concerned about the rapidly growing drugs problem in your country. However, please be mindful of the fact that the social and economic problems like poverty, lack of employment opportunities, unskilled population and poor health, education and criminal justice systems create undesirable situations that force people into the drug trade. The influx of stimulant drugs indicated by the ongoing huge quantities of seizures in our region prospers, as our socio-economic, education and health systems of a country get weaker. There are many unintended consequences of the war on drugs approach to the people and society of a nation and to date there is not a single country where this approach has led to solving their drug problem. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the governments to prioritize to solve the underlying causes of the drug problem and provide alternative opportunities to the people rather than beating around the bush.
People who use drugs are not the problem but your allies in solving the drugs problem
The Bangladesh government and the supporters of this inhumane approach (war on drugs) may have been avoiding the scientific evidences published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) – that only 1 in 10 people who use drugs have problem with their drug use. This statistics does not significantly change when we talk about those who use stimulant drugs – as only 11% of Amphetamine Type Stimulants (ATS) users are estimated to develop problem regarding their use. In fact, United Nations agencies, including UNODC, World Health Organizations (WHO), Joint United Nations programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) have repeatedly called member states for decriminalization of people who use drugs.
People who use drugs and those who sell drugs to maintain their drug use are not inherently bad. They are our friends and families in need of love, care and support. More importantly they are people, they are human beings and they have the same right to life as every other citizens do. They are equally valuable members of a society who have a lot to contribute to the development of a nation, if treated with respect and given the opportunity to access social and health benefits.
As someone who have had lived experiences of drug use and violations of rights by the law enforcers and justice system, they can offer you their honest feedback and inputs in developing rights and evidence-based systems and interventions of health, education, justice and others. There are many alternative approaches to punishment, incarceration and extrajudicial killings.
We urge you to immediately take the necessary steps to uphold the rule of law and human rights of all your citizens.
We sincerely hope that you will invite and engage communities of people who use drugs residing in your country to develop rights and evidence-based programs for them, thereby promoting reduction of drugs-related harm, equal rights and opportunities and a just system.

Limited research suggests that listening to music can benefit people who have Alzheimer's disease in various ways.
For example, music can:
- Relieve stress
- Reduce anxiety and depression
- Reduce agitation
Music can also benefit caregivers by reducing anxiety, lightening the mood and providing a way to connect with loved ones who have Alzheimer's disease — especially those who have difficulty communicating.
If you'd like to use music to help a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease, consider these tips:
- Think about your loved one's preferences. What kind of music does your loved one enjoy? What music evokes memories of happy times in his or her life? Involve family and friends by asking them to suggest songs or make playlists.
- Set the mood. To calm your loved one during mealtime or a morning hygiene routine, play music or sing a song that's soothing. When you'd like to boost your loved one's mood, use faster paced music.
- Avoid overstimulation. When playing music, eliminate competing noises. Turn off the TV. Shut the door. Set the volume based on your loved one's hearing ability. Opt for music that isn't interrupted by commercials, which can cause confusion.
- Encourage movement. Help your loved one to clap along or tap his or her feet to the beat. If possible, dance with your loved one.
- Pay attention to your loved one's response. If your loved one seems to enjoy particular songs, play them often. If your loved one reacts negatively to a particular song or type of music, choose something else.
Keep in mind that music might not affect your loved one's behavior or quality of life and that further research on music and Alzheimer's disease is needed.

Although grains have been fed to dogs for decades, grain-free foods are closer to a dog’s ancestral diet, however we have upped the ante! We’ve added slow energy-release carbs like peas which are rich in dietary fibre, lentils which are alkaline, meaning they don’t produce wind and are great for sensitive tummies and sweet potato, which is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. All told, "turkey delight" Grain-Free is super-tasty, super-nutritious and proper delicious!
- Turkey – high quality, single source protein which is highly digestible and nutritionally-dense
- Hip and Joint Care – Glucosamine and Chondroitin nourishes and repairs cartilage in joints
- MSM – promotes healing, can help to reduce inflammation and helps to better utilise nutrients
- Delicious – say no more! Your dog will show you what we mean!
What’s in the bag? UK-sourced ingredients that are all-natural, unadulterated and wonderfully nutritious!
What’s not in the bag? Nasty artificial things like flavourings, colourings, preservatives and GM ingredients.
We suggest storing the food where your dog can’t find it (it is simply too delicious to be left on the side) and PLEASE, always make sure there is a bowl of the wet stuff available wherever your dog is.
DID YOU KNOW? There are around 35,000 stray dogs in Moscow but they have learned to adjust to life in particularly ingenious ways – they obey traffic signals and pedestrian crossings, packs send out the cutest puppies to beg for treats and they ride the Moscow subway system to travel to the places which have an abundance of food!

• Nairobi will get an additional 140 million litres a day.
• The tunnel will collect 40 per cent of the floodwaters that flow into Maragua, Gikigie and Irati rivers.
Water shortage in Nairobi estates and parts of the Central region is about to end as the Northern Collector Water Tunnel nears completion.
The Sh20 billion World Bank-funded project was launched on September 18, 2012 and it is expected to be completed by June.
It is located in Murang'a county and entails the construction of a fully lined 11.8km tunnel with a diameter of 3.2m. The cost includes Sh6.8 billion spent on the tunnel, Sh6.5 billion on a treatment plant and Sh4.6 billion on a pipeline.
The tunnel starts at Ichichi in Kangema and runs through Kigumo before joining Gatanga at Ndakaini Dam, which is the main reservoir of water supplied to Nairobi and its environs.
Of the amount of water distributed within the city, Ndakaini contributes 80 per cent, Sasumua Dam 15 per cent, Ruiru Dam (three per cent) and Kikuyu Springs (two per cent).
Ndakaini produces 430 million litres of water a day, which is about 84 per cent of its supply to Nairobi and holds about 70 billion litres when full.
The tunnel will collect 40 per cent of the floodwaters that flow into Maragua, Gikigie and Irati rivers. Its water will be piped to the Gigiri reservoir before being distributed to Nairobi's Upper Hill, Eastlands, central business district, Westlands and Karen.
Under the plan, residents of Kiambu, Ruiru, Juja and parts of Thika will be allocated 50 million litres from the total water output.
Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki said the project will also deliver upwards of 140 million litres of water per day to an additional 1.2 million residents.
“It is important to note that it is one of the single-most important projects in moving the Nairobi water coverage from the current 81 per cent to 86 per cent,” she said.
Many residents have experienced rationing since 2017, with some households going for days with dry taps, leaving them in the hands of exploitative vendors.
The city's current water demand is 790 million litres a day. It gets 526 million litres a day from Ndakaini Dam, leaving a shortage of 264 million litres daily.
The shortage is projected to worsen with the Nairobi Water Masterplan showing the city will require 1.2 billion litres of water daily by 2035.
Also being put in place is the Eastern Transmission Pipeline, which is 85 per cent done. The 24km project is scheduled to end at Embakasi, where a 14 million-litre reinforced concrete water storage tank has been erected.
