A trick I learned from dead men by Kitty Aldridge
I confess I did slip away from the tennis this afternoon to listen to Open Book on Radio 4 (sorry Andy, but you were doing OK at that point!). Kitty Aldridge was talking about her new novel 'A trick I learned from dead men' with Mariella Frostrup. But hang on, I thought as I listened to the excerpts read out: I've heard these words before. Yet I haven't read the book (unsurprising since it only came out last week). The story and characters seemed so familiar... And then it came to me. Kitty's short story 'Arrivederci Les' won the 2011 Bridport Prize and was published in the 2011 anthology. We always buy the Bridport anthology (the indoor writer is determined to get shortlisted one year & reads previous winners for research purposes...) and yes, the short story is quite clearly the baseline for the novel. Which is a great advocate for all short story writers in that it is possible to transform a short story into a longer piece of fiction. What was surprising was the interview made no reference to the success of the original short story and how it grew into a novel. An opportunity missed? Or does the novel follow the same narrative arc as the short story? Well, to echo Harry Hill, there's only way to find out. Now I'm going to have read Kitty Aldridge's novel in full, but if the book is as delightful and intelligent as her short story then I'm in for a treat.
If anyone reads 'A trick I learned from dead men' the please share your thoughts on the book.

The underlying causes of acne
Acne vulgaris is a common yet complex inflammatory skin disease. It is multifactorial, and is characterised by hormonally driven sebum overproduction, follicular hyperkeratinisation and chronic inflammation. In adolescents, puberty and genetics play an integral role, with up to 85% of adolescents experiencing some form of acne and its associated symptoms. This may be because androgen, sebum and growth hormone levels peak during the adolescent period.
In adulthood, elevated androgen levels may increase sebum production, abnormal follicular keratinisation and desquamation, leading to the formation of follicular plugs and subsequent blockage.
What is an Androgen?
A male hormone that promotes male characteristics: free testosterone, total testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosteronsulfate (DHEA-S).
What is Androgen excess:
- High Androgens on a blood test, or
- Physical signs of androgen excess
- Best test: Free testosterone (blood)
- Other tests: total testosterone, androstenedione and DHEAS
- If Total testosterone is measured, then we need SHBG – which is a protein that binds to testosterone and oestrogen. SHBG is typically low with PCOS.
Androgen excess physical signs:
- Facial, body hair (long & dark) on chin, cheeks, belly, and around nipples is the most reliable sign of androgen excess. Not peach fuzz, or a few strands.
- Acne – especially hormonal acne on chin. This can be a sign of androgen excess in adults. (NB: This is not reliable indicator in teenagers). Acne can either aggravated or initiated by increased androgen levels
- Hair loss and thinning – androgenic alopecia
What causes Androgen excess?
- Hormonal birth control with ‘high androgen index’. These are birth control methods that have certain progestins, such as those containing desogestrel. They can cause hair loss (by shrinking follicles), acne, weight gain (as progestins interferes with insulin), high blood pressure, nutrient deficiencies and reduced thyroid function.
- Certain medications
- High prolactin
- Rare pituitary or adrenal diseases
- Insulin (hyperinsulinemia)
In healthy women 80% of testosterone is bound to SHBG. This prevents free testosterone from wrecking havoc in our bodies. The levels of SHBG increase and decrease based on cnditions and medications.
SHBG is increased by:
- Thyroid hormone
- Oestrogen-containing preparations
SHBG is decreased by:
- Synthetic progestins (norethindrone, norgestrel, desogestrel, norgestimate)
- Growth hormone
Although sebum androgens are viewed as the major trigger for acne, emerging evidence suggests insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) also plays a kay role. Hyperinsulinemia (excess insulin) promotes hyperandrogenaemia (excess androgens) through binding of insulin to the insulin-like growth factor -1 (IGF-1) receptor. Insulin mimics the action of insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which augments androgen production by the ovaries. Since insulin decreases levels of SHBG, the circulating levels of free testosterone are also increased.
IGF-1 levels increase during puberty, and increasing prevalence of acne is being linked to the western diet, and specifically high-glycaemic foods, which enhance IGF-1/insulin signalling and stimulate sebum production, keratinocyte proliferation and sebaceous gland hyperplasia.
Post pill acne
Steroid drugs in some form of hormonal birth control work well to clear acne. Synthetic oestrogen and the progestins drospirenone (different from androgen index birth control) suppress sebum (skin oil) to childhood levels. In response your skin upregulates sebum and the upregulation continue after the pill is stopped. So, this result is more sebum than ever before. At the same time coming off the pill can trigger the ovaries to temporarily make more androgens to kick back into action. Double whammy! This peak 6 months after then improves.
Oestrogen and progesterone are both good for the skin. Acne is almost never about oestrogen and progesterone. Acne is about underlying conditions such as insulin resistance and inflammation.
Removing diary, sugar and taking zinc.
- Sugar: this reduces insuin growth factor or IGF-1. IGF-1 is the perfect storm for acne because it increases sebum, keratin, and inflammation
- Avoid cows diary – reduces inflammation and IGF-1 hormone.
- Address digestive problems: such as IBS and SIBO as they generate inflammation and worsen acne.
- Address histamine intolerance: fermented foods and cheese – can worsen acne.
- Zinc: Reduces keratin and therefore keeping pores open. Zinc also kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and lowers androgens.
- Berberine: is a natural antibiotic, and kills bacteria that kills acne. Also reduces inflammation IGF-1 (not safe for long term use)
- DIM (diindolylmethane) – a phytonutrient derived from vegetables such as broccoli. This blocks androgen receptors. 100mg per day
How to reduce Androgens
- Peony and licorice (inhibit production and blocks receptors). Reduces serum testosterone.
- Vitex – lowers prolactin induced androgen excess (not typical in PCOS)
- Zinc (30g) – normalises hormones (will not push testosterone below normal)
- Magnesium for insulin sensitivity.
- Quit sugar
- Reduce carbs
- Micronized progesterone: inhibits 5-alpha reductase and blocks androgen receptors.
Hormones fluctuations during pregnancy and menstruation can also exacerbate.

Brave? Reckless? In despair? Whatever you think of AMD’s decision to cede the top end of the graphics card market (at least for now) to Nvidia and launch the mainstream-aimed RX 480 instead, the fact remains that at £180/$200 it’s the best graphics card you have. can buy. It’s faster than Nvidia’s GTX 970 and (usually) faster than an R9 390, making it more than powerful enough to meet minimum specs for virtual reality – and it’ll also hurtle through demanding 1080p games at a smooth 60 FPS. It even does a decent job at 1440p, as long as you turn down a few settings.
As a consumer product, then, the RX 480 is a success, even if one of AMD’s key points – that it will help drive VR adoption – is a bit suspect. After all, VR headsets still cost over £500.
But – and sadly there always seems to be that with AMD – the RX 480 isn’t a great debut for Polaris 10, the first GPU based on an all-new, theoretically more efficient 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. At 150W, the RX 480 sits in the same power envelope as the GTX 1070, but offers less performance. It also gets hotter, reaching 80 degrees Celsius, and sometimes even struggling to meet the advertised boost clock – and that’s in a large, well-ventilated case. It’s an improvement over AMD’s previous cards, but they were always power-hungry beasts and the bar has been raised ever since.
Of course, none of that matters to the consumer who is determined to get the best bang for the buck. And since the sub-£200/$200 market is hottest for discrete graphics cards, the RX 480 is a smart move to take AMD’s market share to more respectable levels. But Polaris 10 is already being pushed hard in the RX 480, and graphics nerds hoping that AMD would regain its performance edge in the future may wonder whether AMD intended to make a mainstream card or not – thanks to less-than-stellar efficiencies with Polaris – his hand was forced.
Polaris 11: The new old
Indeed, a quick look inside the RX 480 shows why its performance hasn’t taken as much of a leap forward as you might think. There’s a new chip, called Polaris 10, which… well, just isn’t very new. To be terribly similar to the older GCN 1.2 architecture used by the Fiji GPUs that previously powered the Fury X and the R9 290X, albeit on a smaller scale. There is a single graphics command processor, four Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE), two hardware schedulers, and 2 MB of L2 cache in addition to the RX 480’s 4 GB or 8 GB of memory. There are a total of 36 compute units (CUs) and 144 texture units delivering just over five teraflops of FP32 performance.

|R9 Anger X||R9 rage||R9 390X||R9 390||R9 290X||RX 480|
|Raise the clock||1050MHz||1000MHz||1050MHz||1000MHz||1000MHz||1266MHz|

|Typical board power||275W||275W||250W||250W||250W||150W|
That puts the RX 480 in line with or above that of the GTX 970 and R9 380 and just below the R9 390’s 5.9 teraflops. Take the GTX 970 out of the picture – which is priced at Nvidia’s more premium scale – and despite all the pre-release buzz, the RX 480 just fits between two of the company’s existing cards. This is not a groundbreaking product.
Still, there are some features in the RX 480 that you won’t find in older graphics cards. There’s DisplayPort 1.3 HBR, HDMI 2.0b (finally!) and support for HDR content. With no consumer HDR PC monitors around, you’ll need to buy a TV to actually watch HDR content, though AMD says it’s working with monitor manufacturers to get models to market as soon as possible. Native FP16 (half-precision computation) support has also been introduced for the first time, and while that won’t mean much to gamers, those performing heavy computing tasks such as computer vision or machine learning will benefit from the reduced memory usage of FP16 instructions.
On the outside, the RX 480’s reference cooler – on which many of the launch cards are likely based – is based on the Fury X. The soft-touch, dimpled plastic top panel looks smooth without being ostentatious, while the simple fan design is good to scoop hot air away from the GPU, even if it’s a little noisy under heavy load. It’s also an elaborate design, with the fan hanging over the edge of the circuit board. Expect smaller partner cards with custom coolers ideal for small ITX builds coming in the near future.
One thing to note about the RX 480 is the memory. AMD has picked up the fast 8GB/s GDDR5 memory from the RX 480 since its announcement, which – when coupled with its 256-bit bus – results in 256GB/s of memory bandwidth. However, it turns out that only the more expensive 8GB version of the card (£215/$230) will have 8GHz GDDR5, while the cheaper model has a slower 7GHz GDDR5 for just 224GB/s of bandwidth. Even then, AMD doesn’t promise that all 8GB versions will have the faster memory, saying that “you may see configurations that differ from our reference specs.”
The difference between the two isn’t huge, and there will probably only be a few frames in the real world. But since the 8GB, 8GHz GDDR5 RX 480 is what’s being tested here – and indeed what AMD is sending to all reviewers at launch – double check what speed the memory is running at on the card you’re looking to buy before parting ways of a cash.

These are two vegetables that are usually dead cheap at the market, but not enough people know what to do with them. The parsnips can be peeled and cut just like carrots, but the tough skin and larger size of the celery root (aka celeraic) requires a big knife. This is a favourite in my home, where we serve it as a substitute for mashed potatoes. I like a coarse mash and use a regular potato masher, but you can use a stick blender for a smoother purée.
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
- 1 lb parsnip, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 celery root, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 3 cups water (or enough to just cover vegetables) or 3 cups broth (or enough to just cover vegetables)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- optional seasonings could be bay leaves or thyme or caraway seeds or even curry
- Saute the onions in the first tbsp of butter or oil in a large, heavy pot, until just soft, not browned. add any spices, and the garlic, sautee one minute longer. add the parsnips and celery root, the cover with the liquid. Simmer over medium heat until vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves, if using. Drain, reserving liquid. Return solids to pot and mash. Add cooking liquid to desired consistency. Stir in butter, adjust seasonings.
Really love this combo! I didn't use any extra herbs or spices and it was delish. Lots of flavour!
This is a delicious combination of two vegetables. It may not be the most attractive but it makes up for it in flavor. I love celeric and I love parsnips and together they make a happy marriage!

UK OIL & GAS TAX
Government revenue from oil and gas has fallen to its lowest level in 10 years, according to figures released on Monday by HM Revenue & Customs.
UK tax receipts came in at £4.7bn for 2013-2014, which is the lowest since 2003-2004 when the government raised £4.2bn. Revenue has fallen 24 per cent compared with the previous tax year, following a 44 per cent fall in 2012-2013.
Taking into account inflation, the latest figures are even lower than 10 years ago – the amount raised in 2003-2004 would be £5.6bn at today's prices.
As a result of a squeeze on profits in the sector from lower production and higher costs, corporation tax receipts have fallen 60 per cent over the past two years. In 2011-2012, the government raised £8.8bn from the tax whereas the latest estimate is just £3.6bn. The remaining £1.1bn came from the petroleum revenue tax, levied on certain older oil and gasfields.
"We have observed a trend on falling tax revenues of late – due in part to recent production decline and increases in the base, tax yields have also been lower by recent strong investment," says Michael Tholen, economics and commercial director of Oil and Gas UK, the offshore trade body. "However, we expect that trend to be stemmed in the coming period as production comes on stream from recent field investments."
Despite North Sea oil production peaking in 1999, revenue grew over the 2000s as oil prices rose from $24 a barrel in 2003 to $139 in 2008. Oil prices have since stabilised around $110 a barrel. The costs of exploration and drilling have risen at the same time as the "easy" oil has dried up and the reserves left become harder to extract.
Mr Tholen points to more promising production figures released last week by the Department of Energy and Climate Change. "This offers a first early sign of the benefits of record investment witnessed over the past three years. The challenge now is to sustain the investment programme in the UK continental shelf over the remainder of the decade and beyond."
Revenue from North Sea oil is a sensitive topic because of the forthcoming referendum on Scottish independence. The amount that an independent Scotland could raise from North Sea oil has been contested during the campaign.
The Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that revenues would be £3.1bn in 2017-18, while the Scottish government forecasts £7.3bn. These will be the last figures released before the vote in September.

[JURIST] King Gyanendra [official profile; BBC profile] of Nepal [JURIST news archive] announced a strict all-day curfew Saturday that forced pro-democracy leaders to postpone a large rally organized by the country's seven main political parties. He ordered violators to be shot on sight. Government officials said the curfew was imposed out of concern that Maoist rebels would use the rally as a cover to launch terrorist attacks. A Communist Party of Nepal [advocacy website] leader said protestors hope to reschedule the rally for Sunday, continuing a general strike that has been ongoing for several days. Gyanendra's curfew came just two days after police arrested 300 protestors [JURIST report] in 16 demonstrations across the capital city of Kathmandu. Witnesses claimed police opened fire on protestors Saturday in the city of Pokhara where one person died and at least two sustained injuries.

The Duffle bag originated in Australia during the 1960s. Surfers started customizing the bags and carrying their gear around with them. Eventually, they were replaced with swag bags. Today, it is still a part of the culture. Fitness fanatics and band musicians often carry their equipment in duffle bag | VintageLeather. They are also popular in fashion. Read on for more about the history of the Duffle bag and its origin. Let’s take a look at the many uses of this versatile bag.
What Should You Do For Fast Duffle Bag?
The Duffle Bag was originally used in the military during World War I. Its name was derived from a British soldier’s knapsack and was used by soldiers. The first duffel bags were very similar to backpacks and resembled them when fully loaded. During the First World War, it was made of canvas cloth and had two large pockets on its sides. The drawstring was made of brass and was a crude fabric.
The Duffle Bag was invented in the military during World War I. Its name comes from a French word that means “sack.” The original version of the duffel bag was a cylindrical bag with a top entry. It was originally made of tough natural fabrics like leather and woolen cloth. It was closed with a drawstring. Modern duffle bags have a side entry zipper and a handle. They are convenient for carrying and are a great addition to any traveler’s gear.

Romanian President Deems Dutch Veto Over Schengen as ‘Unlimited Abuse’
Xenophobic fear of open borders with Romania and Turkey drives the EU skeptic crowd.
Despite Romania’s intense diplomatic efforts to unlock a favourable decision over the accession to Schengen, the EU leaders decided yesterday (Thurs) to further delay the verdict until September.
Speaking at the end of the two-day European Council meeting in Brussels, President Traian Basescu said that the Netherland’s opposition to Romania’s accession to the border free area is an unlimited abuse against an EU member country. “We are expecting Holland to respect the EU Treaty, we are not asking for a blank check,” Basescu said.
Reacting to the Dutch worries over Romania’s ability to guard the EU borders, Basescu said: “The main harbour for drugs entering Europe is Rotterdam, not Constanta (Black Sea) nor Tulcea (Danube).”
Recently, Basescu accused the Netherlands of abuse by opposing the country joining Schengen. He attacked the Dutch stance saying in early January that Holland not Romania had legalised prostitution and drug consumption ‘“ut of helplessness”. He also invited Romanians to boycott Dutch vegetables. Basescu’s attitude was slammed by the opposition who said the President’s remarks were “irresponsible” and would only worsen the relations with the Netherlands.

In light of the nationwide alcohol ban that South African president put into place at the start of the lockdown, many people have started wondering what are the effects of alcohol on the body that a total prohibition was necessary?
Although the president recently announced a potential shift into level three of lockdown in South Africa, many health experts are hoping that the sale of alcohol does not commence just yet.
Regardless of the circumstances, drug addiction recovery can be a challenging road to walk that comes with immeasurable reward.
However, the current lockdown in South Africa has placed added pressure on those with drug addiction as well as those who are in recovery.

Peter Pan and Wendy, David Lowery’s humanizing interpretation of JM Barrie’s existential classic about the boy who refuses to grow up speaks more to the inner child of jaded adults than to actual children. This version of the fairy tale bases the original tale’s fundamental wistfulness on empathetic backstories, while ensuring that the original’s overt racism and latent sexism are remedied.
Despite criticism submitted to Lowery (The Green Knight) in the months leading up to this movie’s release on Disney+, Peter Pan and Wendy keeps much intact. Lowery and his co-writer Toby Halbrooks have a good understanding of the enduring qualities of Barrie’s story, which, as they rightly suggest throughout the film, has nothing to do with whether or not the Lost Boys gang includes girls. Their portrayal teases the conflicts between Peter and Wendy, diversifying the mythical leader’s ragtag group and developing the native people of Neverland into more realized characters. The duo, who worked on Lowery’s previous films, have created a fairytale for now and for the future.
Peter Pan and Wendy
It comes down to
Less of a retelling for children than for jaded adults.
Unlike previous versions of Peter Pan, Lowery doesn’t spend too much time introducing Wendy (Ever Anderson) and her brothers John (Joshua Pickering) and Michael (Jacobi Jupe). There’s an efficient setup, in which we look at Wendy’s reluctance to grow up and understand her relationship with her brothers. At one point, the elder Darling throws John and Michael under the bus to keep them from getting into trouble, adding a welcome shade of complexity to her character; Wendy loves her siblings, but she’s not above saving herself. Peter Pan (played by newcomer Alexander Molony) also still has an edge. Molony captures his character’s innocence and hubris, switching between the two depending on what the moment calls for.
Lowery’s slim opening – we meet Peter and Tinkerbell (Yara Shahidi), chase the shadow and learn to fly all within the first 15 or 20 minutes – gives him room to let his own imagination run wild. The four children set out from the Darling’s house, unbeknownst to Mr. and Mrs. Darling (played by Alan Tudyk and Molly Parker), and see London from a new vantage point. They bounce and swing through the air, speeding along the Thames and towards Big Ben. Daniel Hart’s light-hearted scores add a playful and exuberant touch. It’s a shame that the harsh and gritty palette that’s been so typical of Disney remakes lately makes all of this hard to see.
Things start to brighten up when the crew reaches Neverland, a vast expanse of green hills and a shimmering, azure sea. With the help of DP Bojan Bazelli, Lowery presents this piece Peter Pan and Wendy as an operatic ode to freedom and adventure. The camera pans over the ocean, where the mermaids swim in the shallowest part of the water, and the sky, dotted with spherical clouds and an inverted rainbow. Peter Pan and Wendy is most impressive in these compelling moments (as well as in the scenes where Peter shows off his fighting skills) that allow us to feel the director’s enthusiasm in depicting a childhood fantasy and to appreciate the grandeur of Neverland.
That level of excitement ultimately proves to be a double-edged sword. Lowery and Halbrook overload the story, which begins to falter and drag under the weight of its obligations. Nevertheless, there are interesting changes and subtle ways in which the duo corrects the original text. For example, Wendy and Tinkerbell form a fast friendship based on a mutual disdain for Peter’s stubbornness and moodiness. Wendy in particular tries to point out how much of his success in beating Hook (played formidably by Jude Law) has to do with his friendships. She wants to show him how often Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys and Tiger Lily (Alyssa Wapanatâhk), one of the native peoples of Neverland who takes on a more prominent role here, support him.
The relationship between Hook and Peter is also portrayed differently, and audience acceptance depends on how they interpret the original. Is Peter Pan a children’s story that warns children about the myopia of adulthood? Or is it a story about children that appeals to adults whose imaginations have shriveled up? Maybe it’s both. Lowery’s movie tries to play the middle ground by giving Hook, a character who’s gone from really bad to comically mean, a backstory. His relationship with Smee (Jim Gaffigan) and the rest of the pirates on the ship takes shape. We also learn about the history of his connection to Peter, which complicates the legacy of their feud and feels like a message for the adults watching. The tension between them offers a lesson in the loss of your inner child and also advances one of the film’s most poignant scenes.
The strength of that thread – the one between the boy who will never grow up and the pirate who refuses to give up – makes other parts of the story feel weaker in comparison. While it’s easy to surrender to the other relationships and enjoy the adventures that unfold out there, they don’t carry the same emotional weight. And as the movie nears its dutiful end, you may be wondering why Lowery didn’t make a movie about Peter Pan and Hook instead of Peter Pan and Wendy.

Here’s what happened.
The NUT section of the National Education Union met in Brighton for the last ever NUT conference (from next year the NEU will hold a single conference comprising activists from what used to be the NUT and ATL unions, after the two organisations voted to merge last year). The NASUWT union, meanwhile met for its conference in Birmingham.
If you weren’t at either of the conferences (or haven’t been glued to https://www.tes.com/news/school-news and Twitter over the bank holiday), here’s what you need to know.
Teacher mental health was a major theme at the NASUWT conference – a motion on mental health and wellbeing was given top priority by members. The conference heard shocking testimony from one teacher, Claire Taylor, who spoke about how she had been driven to take an overdose at her desk. NASUWT president Dan McCarthy said that schools were risking teacher suicides by using surveillance schemes designed to “crush” staff so that they could save on redundancy costs.
Pupil poverty was a big theme at the NUT conference. A report that the union published jointly with the Child Poverty Action Group on Monday painted a bleak picture of schools giving children food, washing their clothes and offering their families debt advice, and having to prioritise pupils’ basic needs ahead of the school’s performance.
Both unions passed combative motions threatening to walk-out over pay.
On Saturday the NUT conference overwhelmingly backed a call for a ballot on national strike action over teachers’ pay, if the union’s demands are not met. On the same day at the NASUWT conference, delegates voted unanimously in favour of considering the use of rolling industrial action if the government fails to ensure a better pay deal for workers.
However, Ofsted got their say at the NASUWT conference. Appearing at a fringe event, Ofsted’s national director of education, Sean Harford, criticised primary schools for “beasting” pupils in English and Maths in order to prepare them for Sats tests.

The Taiwanese government held 10 public hearings from November 12th to 14th in the northern, central, southern and eastern part of Taiwan, to discuss the feasibility of lifting ban on Japanese produce from radiation-affected areas.
Since March 25,2011 , food imports from the Japanese prefectures of Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Chiba have been banned. And for some food from other prefectures, radiation inspection certificates, which are issued by Japanese government or officially authorized research units, have been also required.
Lai Shyh-bao (賴士葆), an opposition Kuomintang legislator, said it is wrong for the government to determine whether or not to import these foods on the basis of the inspection reports from Japan. “ Some civic groups traveled to Japan to check radiation levels in the foods and the environment, and the government should do the same, ” said Lai Shi-bao (賴士葆).
Hung Chia-Chun (洪佳君), a Kuomintang new Taipei city councilor, said the reason why she and many people protested in the public hearings is that they don’t think it’s safe to import food from these five prefectures. And she accused the government of “trying to exchange diplomatic interests with the life and health of people.”
She deemed that Taiwanese government has no ability to ensure food safety in the absence of manpower and equipment. “ We only have one test equipment in the Kaohsiung port and dozens of detection staff. If the government can only check one in thirty containers, who can make sure that there is no problem with the rest of the imported food?” said Hung Chia-Chun (洪佳君) .
Hung also stressed that she would continue to paying close attention to the incident and will hold joint activities to win public support.
Lin Guo-cheng (林國成), a People First Party Taipei city councilor, questioned the reason why the government want to import the food from radiation-affected areas. “ Taiwan also have these the same food and in which are safer, so we do not need to import food from Japan”, said Lin Guo-cheng (林國成).
He also mentioned the previous oil incident. He thought Taiwan doesn’t have comprehensive laws on food. “We don’t know how to judge these people by law. Moreover, the harm of radiation is more serious than the poisonous oil”, said Lin Guo-cheng (林國成).
Two public hearings on Japanese food imports will be held in Taipei and Kaohsiung in December. And the government will hold a television public hearing in December 25.

A recent report commissioned by the Northwest Minnesota Foundation cites "Quality of Place" as a key to the region's ability to develop industry and promote other avenues of economic development. The amenities, lifestyle offerings and environmental quality of the region depends largely on the policies and practices that natural resources professionals use in caring for those natural resources. Supporting and growing this "knowledge cluster" is a necessary step in addressing the Number One important element identified in the report: "The natural amenities, including clear air and water, open spaces, forests, lakes, public lands, trail systems, outdoor events and opportunities for outdoor recreation, hunting and wildlife observation."
The NRC is a group of regional professionals who work within various fields of natural resources. They include representatives from large industries (Potlach, Northwoods Panelboard), private business (loggers, farmers), government agencies (DNR, Chippewa National Forest, Red Lake and Leech Lake), and educators (BSU). Additional stakeholders include utilities cooperatives, wildlife and sports associations, health and recreational organizations, policy makers and elected officials and more.
Together these natural resources professionals have identified this "knowledge cluster" as having many common interests including a critical need to share information and access training on the important issues facing the environment in northwest Minnesota.
Monthly workshops are conducted that are available free of charge to any person working with natural resources. Here, they have access to cutting edge, scientific information that typically requires a trip to Cloquet, Duluth or the Twin Cities along with the accompanying travel and per diem costs. In addition, they receive training that is regionally specific to the issues of northwest Minnesota.
Additionally, full-day educational workshops have been added to the offerings from the NRC. "Peatlands of Northern Minnesota: Economy and Ecology" was a huge success offering speakers from a variety of sources including the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, University of Minnesota, Bemidji State University, and US Forest Service. The workshop also attracted participants from all directions including Winnepeg, Duluth / Superior area, Crookston, Red Lake peatlands area and the Twin Cities.
Student involvement is anticipated to grow as both undergraduate and graduate students at BSU and neighboring institutions seek out additional environmental education opportunities. BSU's Environmental, Earth and Space Studies program and other programs within the College of Social and Natural Sciences will work to ensure student to participation.
Partner agencies serve as advisors to assist in developing NRC programs and Optivation hosts the sessions and provides project management support. Currently, BSU providing this service to help foster this knowledge cluster as part of its mission. But ongoing support will require funding. In addition, to achieve the long term goals of the NRC, funds are needed to further develop the implementation plan.
The goal of the NRC is to support the local natural resources knowledge base by providing accessible, low cost continuing education programs that are scholarly, scientific and regionally-specific.

We love reading! And we wanted to share that love with others.
We looked at our community and decided that the best way to instill the love of books was to start early, we knew that not every family could afford a lot of books, so we set out to give a book that they could keep to each preschooler in our school district.
We wanted to collect 1,500 books to give out. We met with the preschool team for the district to discuss what we wanted to do, They thought it was a wonderful way to help young children to love reading. We put together a donation letter and went to all the local bookstores asking for donations. With the help of friends, family and Book Haven (a used book store here in Loveland) We collected over 2,200 books.
WOW! we never expected to get that many. Our next step was contacting the preschools. We got a list from our contact at the school district and sent out email’s and made calls to set up days and times that we can go in to read a story to the kids and give them books. We went to all 14 preschools that are part of our school district and read Green Eggs and Ham to the kids, and since we had gotten so many more books than we set out for we were able to give each child 2 books of their own to keep.
We had many books left over which included quite a few chapter books. So we decided to donate them to Alternatives to Violence to build a library in their Safe house and to donate some to the School District to split between the preschools to have more books on hand for the kids to read and enjoy.
We had a lot of fun collecting books to share the love of reading with. It felt amazing to see all the excited faces of the preschoolers when the got their books and we told them they where theirs to keep. We hope that the many kids we read to will continue reading and enjoying all the places you can visit and adventures you can have through books.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
They creamed the butter & sugar
added the eggs and crushed bananas and combined them together well. They then sifted together the flour, soda & salt and added to the creamed mixture and then added vanilla and crushed rah-rah raisins.
They poured mixture into a greased & floured loaf pan and baked at 350 for 1 hour
The older girls worked well together, taking turns, being on task and getting their mixture mixed with all ingredients and into the pan and baking quite well.
We have a multi-level troop so our 3 brownies decided to make a cheesecake. We made the crust using 1 box trefoils, 1/3 cup butter and 1/3 cup of sugar. We preheated the oven to 350, we crushed the cookies and then mixed all the ingredients together and baked it for about 10 minutes. While it was baking we made the cheesecake. We used 1 package Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, a splash of lemon juice and a box of crushed Samoas. We mixed the cream cheese, the sweetened condensed milk and the lemon juice together. Then we mixed in the crushed Samoas, spread it out evenly on the Trefoil crust and used another box of Samoas as a topping. Our 3 Brownies were so excited to do this cooking adventure and they can’t wait to do more

Ziah is a 6th grader, first year Cadette. She has been in Girl Scouts since kindergarten. Ziah loves Girl Scouts! She loves everything about Girl Scouts. She loves the badges, she loves selling cookies and she loves serving her Hometown Hero and her community. She is full of personality and it shows in her video!
This is my first year as a Girl Scout leader after taking over my daughter’s Troop in the fall. I took the Leadership position because it was a activity that my daughter absolutely loved and I did not want her to miss out! Little did I know that I would get so much out of being a Leader…way more than I give. I LOVE seeing the girls use their problem solving techniques while they work as a team. It is especially fun to see them develop their own voice. I recently challenged my Troop to write a script for a sales video that they can share with family and friends. I think they did a fine job!! My girls hope to earn enough money through Cookie Sales to go on a Camping trip this spring. Thank you for watching!

Commissioner Garang Kuach Ariath says the county is experiencing several challenges in implementing the girl-child education policy as the girls’ drop-out rate is increasing annually in the county.
“We have been appealing to the organizations whose projects are working closely in girl-child education program to help put more endeavours in making lots of awareness especially to parents and girls so that the number of schoolgirls does not drop lower every year,” Kuach said.
He also says that 2013/2014 has been a worst year ever where good number of schoolgirls dropped out of schools due to early marriages and an unintended pregnancy happening in primary and secondary schools.
“If we did not have good number of schoolgirls dropping out of their schools last year; then 2014 primary and secondary examinations would have been wonderfully full of girls competing with boys,” he said.
According to the county commissioner, he received a report from the county education inspector indicating that November and December reports showed 46 girls who have dropped out of schools apart from the rest of the month which he says can go higher than indicated figure.
He further called on the parents to note the importance of education to girls as well as boys and appeal to parents to allow every child to go to school despite his/her sex.
“There is a big role that needs to be played by the parents, and that is by allowing their girls to go schools like the sons so that both can have brighter future. County authority together with ministry of education cannot do any change to this unless the parents play their role,” He urged.
The commissioner denied the report of a teacher that was arrested over the issue that he impregnated two schoolgirls that he teaches, saying his office is not aware of the report.
“I’m not aware of a teacher arrested for having impregnated two schoolgirls last year, but if there exists something like this then the education act will take its course where the culprit can be held accountable in the court,” he said.
South Sudan’s Child Act 2009 stipulates that every child has the right to free compulsory education at primary level.
The Country’s Transitional Constitution also says that all levels of government shall
promote education at all levels and shall ensure free and compulsory education at the primary level.
In South Sudan 7.3% of girls are married before they reach 15 and 42.2% between the ages of 15 and 18. This is contributing to the large numbers of girls who are dropping out of primary school before the end of the eight-year cycle; while around 37% of girls enrol in primary school, only around 7% complete the curriculum and only 2% go on to enrol in secondary school.
The passing of the Child Act in 2008 represented a key milestone in legal reform for safeguarding children’s rights in South Sudan and prohibits the marriage of children under the age of 18. However, knowledge and implementation of the law remains limited.

"Speaking of Lupus, how are you feeling?"OVERHEARD BY ZOE
hahahaha, this made me chuckle.
Why is this supposed to be funny? Lupus is WeLl nasty, my colleague has it and bits of her bruise and swell for no reason...
The humor is in the reference to the TV show "House" in which the second season (maybe the first) made heavy use of lupus as part of the lists of possible diagnoses for mysterious ailments. In fact, in the DVD set for that season, there's a montage of all the lupus references. This is not, of course, making light of the actual disease.
Man, too bad my life doesnt have this much spontaneity!
I suffer from Lupus and I wish the writers for House would take this more serious and mention it even more. Lupus needs all the awareness it can get.

My dear readers,
I will be entering into “sacred silence” during this Holy Week. Instead of stressing about what to write this week, I want to focus on my Savior. Look for some new posts next week, about a limitless life in Christ and about the temples we are walking around in (aka our bodies!). Maybe a book review about an amazing book will even find its way onto here!
Be assured of my prayers for you all. May you get to know His great and unending love for you and His willingness to lay down His very life so that you may live! May you know the truth of the Resurrection and that He is our Redeemer! I pray these truth sinks deep down into your heart and takes root! Be blessed.


Dublin Airport recently topped a survey, conducted by Airports Council International, being placed first for customer service among airports of its size in Europe. The results mark huge progress for the airport, which just a few years ago was bottom in a similar ACI survey.
The key to success for Dublin Airport is focussing more on what the passenger is saying day to day to make small changes. The airport teams are focussing on the direct feedback from the Customer Experience team, Happy or Not responses from Quality Improvement and the quantitative and qualitative research from Insights team to measure customer satisfaction. One of the creative initiatives centred on such improvement is the ‘Sky Bridge Banter Wall’.
The concept was created by the Passenger Journey Improvement Team, which regularly reviews feedback from passengers and identifies areas for improvement. The Sky Bridge was an area flagged in need of a bit of a facelift and so the team focused on improving its visual aspects. Several concepts were put forward before the team agreed on the ‘Skybridge Banter Wall’ initiative. “We felt that by trialling something different using the existing space we would hopefully put a smile on our passengers faces,” said Laura Shields, Quality Improvement Manager.
On the departure side of the Sky Bridge journey, passengers are met by images of clouds decorating the walls. Each cloud contains some witty words, such as: “I’m Irish, what’s your superpower?” and “Perhaps hot chocolate wants to be called beautiful chocolate once in a while”. On the arrivals side, passengers are welcomed by popular Irish phrases and sayings, such as: “Great drying weather out there” and “If it falls off its staying off”.
Laura added: “Passenger satisfaction has improved consistently since the introduction of these images, and the response we have received has been very positive. We would like to encourage our passengers to share their favourite ‘Sky Bridge Banter Wall’ selfies with us, #DUBbanter.”


The Loci Records release contains 7 wonderful ambient / downtempo compositions among which I found my personal love - "Unalome". The track kicks off with a muffled piano but quickly delves into a rather mystic and haunting vibe, a perfect fit to the misty forest from album's artwork.
Fun fact - I've been watching Netflix's Black Spot which takes place in a haunting and very eerie forest. I honestly can't think of a better soundtrack to this series.
I also want to give Andrew mad props for the perfectly chopped vocals on this track. I'm sucker for such things and this was just the cherry on the top.


Concerning Iran's possible development of a nuclear weapon: For what strategic purpose do you think Israel now possesses over 200 nuclear weapons and several delivery systems? What effect do you suppose the fact that Israel has over 200 nuclear bombs that can even be launched from submarines have on Iran's thinking while contemplating the offensive deployment of a nuclear bomb aimed at Israel? Just curious. Second, if the US or Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities do you think Iran would consider that an act of war? Which proxies of Iran might Iran utilize in retaliation to an act of war by the US or Israel? Are they quite near Israel? Yes they are. Think about that.

In the year 2017, enthusiasm about cryptocurrency peaked which was tagged as “the crypto mania”, XRP recorded its all-time high of $3.30 while Bitcoin grew about 2,700% setting a record of an all-time high of $19,891 on 17 December 2017.
Since the crypto-mania season, XRP has relatively traded beneath its All-time highs of $3.30.
During the March 12 market carnage which saw Bitcoin testing the new year low of $3,858, XRP was beaten low as it further plunged beneath its trend line to break the $0.18 support turned resistance level to trade then at $0.12, touching down nearly a 3-year low, tweeted a crypto analyst.
While BTC experienced slight rebound to reach as high as $6,900, XRP bulls also regained strength to squeeze up its price to as high as $0.175 in which the bulls ran out of steam and couldn’t proceed further.
It experienced a strong rejection at $0.16 to trade at its recent price.
At the moment, XRP is exchanging hands at $0.156. XRP performance is still way down below as it fell short by 90% comparatively set to its all-time high of $3.30 and 2% down from its daily highs of $0.16.
$0.12 Level Seems Imminent
Analysts are preempting XRP bulls may take a breather as it seemed obvious there is a feasible rejection from further advancement. For the bullish momentum to be upheld, it may need to break the $0.16 resistance level, which it seemed to have established as a short-term high.
Credible Crypto, a crypto analyst sees XRP rejection at the $0.16 level as a forerunner to a correction back to the $0.12 lows after which XRP will undergo a consolidation phase.
XRP which is down by 20% to its year 2020 high may retest the $0.12 level as bullish momentum on the cryptocurrencies seem to be on pause in the past couple of days as BTC is currently trading beneath $6,000.
Of recent, Bitcoin has been a walkable guide for the direction the crypto market is heading. Analysts are paying keen attention to BTC’s next move to determine XRP’s direction.

Art created an incredible gourmet dinner for actress Andie MacDowell and her family in her beautiful home. A true vegan feast, the extravagant dinner commenced with a Mexican tortilla soup, followed by spicy ‘chorizo’ tamales, homemade tacos with roasted sweet potatoes and black beans, and a roasted corn ensalada. The menu items were paired with sides of vegan queso, lime cilantro ‘sour cream’ and a roasted tomato cilantro salsa. Homemade limeade, made with fresh lime juice and agave nectar, was the drink of choice and a vegan hazelnut flan was served for dessert.
The dinner boasted wonderful conversation, as Art shared with the group suggestions on vegan recipes, nutritional expertise, and answered extensive health and lifestyle related questions.
Art said of the evening, “[it was] an exciting menu of south of the border delights [with] the warmest, most gracious hostess and dinner companions anyone could wish for!”

like last year, when the jets, from games 2-14, beat teams with a cumulative .293 winning record at the time they played them, and then caught Cinci, already a dead team walking that's even worse this year despite some "upgrades" they've been doing it like a HOudini illusion - with smoke, mirrors and a horseshoe up Rex's azz. They're a good team fersure with another QB who sucks (shoulda stayed where they were and took Josh Freeman, a money QB), but realistically they're as close to SB quality as Tera Patrick is to virginity.
"Yep. Blow it up. This might the worst team I've ever seen constructed in my life.
And then you throw in the terrible preparation and in-game coaching. There is no defense.
But do it right. Fire everyone in the building. No survivors. , JiF Jetnation


"American Hustle" trailer is promising
Method Christian Bale, a perm for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence with an accent.
What more could moviegoers want from a movie? All three of those elements, plus Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and a period piece drama are promised in the latest trailer for the movie "American Hustle."
Watch the trailer below.
This is the latest project from director David O. Russell, who has previously collaborated with Bale and Adams in the "The Fighter" and Cooper and Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook."
The trailer gives a vibe of "Ocean's Eleven" (the George Clooney version) mixed with "Goodfellas." Plus, we get some really great shots in the trailer of the weight Bale put on for the film, going in the opposite direction of "The Machinist", when he looked like a skeleton.
I am sold.
What do you think? Does Russell's streak of quality films continue?

Objective The aim of this study was to report outcomes of the subsequent pregnancy after early-onset pre-eclampsia in a first pregnancy (index), and to evaluate the potential risk factors for recurrence of pre-eclampsia and preterm delivery. Design We performed a retrospective cohort study of all women who developed early-onset pre-eclampsia (delivery before 34 weeks of gestation) in their first pregnancy between January 1996 and December 2004 in two perinatal centres with regional function. All patients were included consecutively. Information was retrieved on the course of subsequent pregnancies. Setting Two tertiair centres with regional function. Population Women with a delivery under 34 weeks due to a hypertensive disorder (N = 380). Main outcome measures We determined the absolute risk of recurrence of an adverse outcome, defined as a hypertensive complication resulting in delivery before 34 weeks of gestation. The available clinical parameters were evaluated as predictors for recurrence using logistic regression analysis. Results We identified 380 patients, of whom 46 were lost to follow-up. In total, 123 patients refrained from subsequent pregnancy (79 [64%] from fear of recurrence). Of the 211 patients with a subsequent pregnancy, 36 (17%, 95% CI 12-22%) had a recurrent delivery before 34 weeks of gestation, 30 (14%, 95% CI 9.5-19%) delivered between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation, and 145 (69%, 95% CI 62-75%) delivered later than 37 weeks of gestation. Of this last group, only 67 (32%, 95% CI 25-38%) pregnancies were completely uneventful. Chronic hypertension, maximum diastolic blood pressure, caesarean delivery and level of 24-h proteinuria were independent predictors for an adverse pregnancy outcome. Conclusions Women that had early severe pre-eclampsia in their first pregnancy have a 17% risk of recurrence, with a delivery before 34 weeks of gestation. Only 32% had a completely uneventful pregnancy.
