We are now in a rather long unit -- the Middle Ages -- and we will not test again for a few weeks. I will post information about the next test when we are a week or two away from it.
To help students who struggle with reading, I have adapted readings and questions from a simpler text for them. Only do this material if you have been asked by Mr. Benoy to do so. These students will not do the regular homework when this alternative is given. If you find reading the text impossibly difficult, see Mr. Benoy to discuss the issue. The alternative is not as detailed and content will be missed by those using it. However, it is better than not understanding a thing!
We watched two episodes of Terry Jones' Medieval Lives in class. If you want to see about the lives of other medieval people, here are links to other episodes: The Monk, The Damsel, The Minstrel, The Philosopher, The Outlaw, The King. A terrific documentary about medieval life is Michael Woods' Christina; A Medieval Life. Be sure to watch this if you get the chance. It gives real insight into 14th Century peasant life. Mr. Benoy is particularly fond of this film as it describes medieval live in the English County in which he was born. We may or may not get a chance to work this into a class.
Interested in Medieval weapons? Watch Weapons that Made Britain; The Long Sword, Weapons that Made Britain; the Lance and The Weapons that Made Britain; The Longbow, Weapons that Made Britain; the Shield. Watch Battlefield Britain; Hastings about the Norman conquest of Britain.
Interested in medieval lifestyles? Try Clarissa and the King's Cookbook to see how medieval royals ate. Also in the Inside the Medieval Mind series is Belief -- find out about their religious and supernatural beliefs -- with heavy stress being on the supernatural part. Try also Inside the Medieval Church; Power -- about how people were controlled. Try also Inside the Medieval World; Knowledge - what medieval people knew. Investigate life in England's greatest medieval city -- London -- in Filthy Cities; Medieval London- not a pretty place, but like the expanding great cities of the developing world today, a place of horror and opportunity.

Sheer Brilliance I just discovered this on Steam, already managed to clock up almost 100 hours in the last week. I visited the subreddit and found it had mobile versions. Whilst I've installed it on my phone too, I dunno if my eyes will manage it so I stuck to my Nexus. Might even try my Kindle so I can get all the free unlocks on underground 😇 Such a fun, addictive game, I'm happy I found the mobile version as I've got a day to spend in hospital tomorrow, guess what I'll be doing? 😎
Very addicting game. I really love the 16-bit design and somewhat challenging gameplay for an rpg-esque idle game... Sorta reminds me of the golden days of gaming. I expected this to be a short game and was fortunately wrong! I would suggest this game for someone who enjoys dungeon crawling adventure games, but may not have the time to sit back and play. Good job, Armorgames and company!
Great dungeon diver with a good combination of RPG, auto-battler, and humor. Some of the characters are completely useless and the blacksmith has no use beside supplying Magic Potions (if you don't get them in the dungeon). Love that the game works flawlessly offline (seems to be overlooked by most devs, these days) and the Google Play integration syncs when you reconnect to internet. I really cannot think of any complaints for this game at the moment.
The Blacksmith becomes useless very quickly. If you had a way to upgrade what items the shop sells better into the late game, the game as a whole could be way better. Also, may I request having a way to obtain high level equipment by paying gold/sacrificing weaker equipment? It would improve mid game scaling as currently I am in dimension 4 and it's a GRIND. Overall though, I like it! It could be better though
This is not a clicker game, It's more of a casual game. There's an auto mode, but by turning it off, you get more strategic options in your gameplay and you can push your party further. Its incredibly fun and theres always something new to unlock which keeps the game fresh. Cant wait for the sequel.
This is a great game. I have some suggestions to make it even better. I would like to have more control on units while on auto. It would be nice to set a default action for each of them (on auto, thief never stole, healer never does heal all, etc). I would like to be able to set a hp % where healer cast his spell. While auto, I would like to be able to select a target. That would prevent the units to attack a confused ennemi.
- Save transfer system added! Upload/Download options are now available from the file select screen.
- Auto-combat button updated.
- Audio can now always be muted outside of the options menu.
- New icon for ‘For Honor' achievement.
- Fixed some character animations.
- Fixed cursor selection bug.

If you’re from New York, the name Ratner’s gives you dewy-eyed nostalgia for the great dairy restaurant of yore. But I’m from LA, and Ratner’s just makes me think of my dentist, Dr. Farkas, whose office is on Ratner St. There’s a connection– Alex Ratner came west in 1914 to beat back tuberculosis, and he ended up doing better in real estate than he ever did in borscht and blintzes.
But for those nostalgic for a taste of the not-so-old country, Tori Avey posts the recipe for Ratner’s original cheese blintz, taken from the restaurant’s cookbook. By all means check it out. But I’ve followed it, and I can tell you: mine are better.
I use ricotta cheese, Meyer lemon zest and sour cream (or mascarpone) for a filling that makes these taste like cheesecake in blintz form. There’s a video below, embarrassingly old, of younger me making them with some great former colleagues.
Join Rob Eshman, national editor of the Forward and creator of @Foodaism for a live cooking demonstration of these lemon blueberry blintzes. Thursday, May 28 at 5:30 p.m. PDT/8:30 p.m. EDT. Facebook Live Jewish Daily Forward. Click here to watch.###
Lemon Ricotta Blintzes
(Makes 10 – 12)
FOR THE BLINTZES:
1 cup flour
1 tsp. sugar
½ t. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb. ricotta cheese, at room temperature, drained
3 T sour cream or mascarpone
2 egg yolks
3 tbsp. sugar
½ t. Meyer or regular lemon zest
½ t. vanilla extract
1.Combine crepe batter ingredients in blender or bowl and mix until smooth. Let rest a half hour.
2.Combine filling ingredients in mixer or bowl and blend until smooth. (Use good quality, whole-milk ricotta. If very moist, drain in a cheesecloth-lined colander set inside pan for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. You can also use the more traditional farmers cheese, if you wish)
3.Heat a non-stick crepe pan or 8-inch skillet. Coat with oil or butter. Add ¼ cup batter and tilt pan to spread batter thin. Cook until set, then flip. Cook until dry, then turn out onto a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used. I layer baking parchment or wax paper between the crepes.
4.Spread 2 or 3 T. of filling along the bottom of a crepe. Roll up into a cylinder, tucking ends in before you finish rolling. Repeat until all the crepes are filled.
5.Heat 3-5 T. vegetable oil or clarified butter in a skillet, Add crepes 2-3 at a time and cook on each side until golden. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh berries.

VINTON, Iowa – On the heals of the PRI trade show last week, several clarifications and rule amendments have been made to the IMCA Late Model division for 2019.
As announced in November, bump stops will be legal for use in the division; however, “spring” bump stops will not be permitted. All bump stops must be of rubber or a similar material composition.
Additionally, spring rubbers will be allowed as well for the 2019 racing season.
“Although confusing on the surface, these two issues are separate and will be treated as such during inspection,” stated IMCA President Brett Root.
As previously announced, a 604 Chevrolet Performance engine option will be new in 2019.
Drivers utilizing a spec engine must run an unaltered one inch carburetor spacer. The approved spacer is the Governor spacer no. 100 125000 with four .95-inch restrictors, no. 100-125095.
“The restrictor plate on the spec engines will be a work in progress throughout 2019, We’re reviewing dyno numbers as this release is being produced,” said Root. “We’ll do our best to monitor the on-track performance of the two engines options and make the best decisions possible as the season progresses. Joe Hayes and Randy Anderson will be actively involved in those decisions”
Hayes was recently named the Late Model Division Director while Anderson remains the Late Model Division Competition Director.
“I’m confident in both Joe and Randy and I think the IMCA Late Model division has taken some very good steps in the right direction this off-season,” stated Root.
As announced last month, door plates are now mandatory for the division. The plates can be securely welded or bolted to the outside of driver side door bars and must maintain a minimum size of 16” by 26.”
Rules for the IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing season will be the same as those in place for the Deery Brothers Summer Series.
2019 rules are posted on the IMCA website and will be published in the December issue of Inside IMCA. Next year’s tentative Deery Series schedule is to be announced later this month.

Read a synopsis here!
Number of pages: 351
So, as I was reading this book I was thinking about what a fantastic and joy-filled review I was going to write for this book…however, then I finished the book. It was such a weak ending and it really disappointed me. I felt that things were just quickly resolved and the way things were resolved wasn’t very strong. There was too many flaws (thankfully there’s a second book). The first half of this was absolutely fantastic! The book moved along at a great pace and things were exciting but then the events started to become less and less…intriguing. I stopped caring about some of the characters and they seemed more distant to me as a reader.
The story also seemed like it was dragged out really long and it felt sort of like it was repeating itself over and over. Don’t get me wrong I loved the story line, but this book had some serious issues with pacing and just having a basic story line, that really flowed.
The title also sets the story up for failure. I would have taken this book way more seriously if it had a less…childish title (also the covers picture is pretty bad too). Going into the story I didn’t expect this to have any literary value at all so I was extremely surprised when I actually liked the story (until I got towards the end).
It’s a good story line; basically there’s a girl, Jessica, who is living the stereotypical “teenage life” and a tall, dark, handsome, stranger who shows up in town. Soon, Jessica finds out that she is a secret vampire princess (which she vehemently disagrees and doesn’t believe) and this stranger, Lucius, is her betrothed, and has been since their birth. However, Jessica doesn’t want to marry Lucius and so, he begins to pursue her.
There is many twists in the story and things change, which is what kind of disappointed me about this book. Maybe it just didn’t go the way that I expected so that’s why I didn’t like the ending. But it’s up to you to decide now!
See you soon!

SUDBURY, MA–Once a television producer and host during the 1980s and 1990s in Boston, Vimi Verma has finally found her passion, and is enjoying every moment of it.
“During those television days, I always struggled between television and restaurant,” said Ms. Verma, who had her weekly TV show called Asian Entertainment TV. “I enjoyed the production part of television but did not like much being on television. I had to do it because I did not have resources and it was hard to find people at that time.”
Ms. Verma, who had started her weekly show in 1981 and ran it through 2000, said that after a lot of thinking she started a small 19-seat Indian restaurant called Paani in Sudbury, MA in 2009.
“The restaurant was too small and there was always a line,” recalled Ms. Verma.
This June, Ms. Verma relocated Panni to a beautiful location in Sudbury that seats 75 guests. In addition, there is outside patio seating for 35. The restaurant is located at 530 A at Boston Post Road offers all types of Indian food and specializes in North Indian cuisine.
“Eventually, I want to get into catering business, especially for parties, events and weddings,” Ms. Verma said. “I enjoy the restaurant business. This is my passion.”
Restaurant is a tough business to run and manage for anyone. Ms. Verma, however, enjoys the business and serving the guests.
Paani, the only woman-owned Indian restaurant in Greater Boston, has bar, a good ambiance and an open layout with big windows looking outside. It offers buffets for lunch and a variety of food menus for dinner, including soups and salads, vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers and main course entries and seafood.

This letter appeared in the Arizona Daily Sun on July 15, 2018
Taking children from the parents of families that are seeking asylum in the United States of America is morally reprehensible. We should be welcoming these refugees into our country with open arms and hearts. It is what Jesus would do.
Nearly all of these families are from Central America, fleeing violence from drug cartels and from other forms of injustices. I have first-hand knowledge that one man from Honduras, whose wife had been murdered previously, had his 7-year-old daughter taken away from him when he arrived at the border. He went to jail. A Panamanian women came to America after being raped and was arrested at the border when she asked for asylum.
Others are also outraged as I witnessed the demonstration in front of Flagstaff City Hall (6/30/18). However, there are fellow citizens who dismissed this gathering by the “liberals.” I heard someone say that he could not understand why “these people” would protest children being taken from their parents when “they” believe it is OK to murder a fetus in the womb. I responded that these are two entirely separate issues.
Yet, it is this exact type of response that prevents civil discourse between people with differing political ideals.
I support every American to voice their opinion, especially if it is different than mine. If we are to heal as a nation, we have to respect each others views, not belittle them. America will not survive if we don’t listen to each other and compromise.

Transfer points are critically important to the efficiency and productivity of any conveyor system, but they are also highly complex from an engineering perspective.
Our transfer point products are designed to be effective over a long work life, even under the most demanding conditions. The benefits our products deliver include
- Better efficiency - Conveyor belts that are tracking correctly minimize spillage in the load zone.
- Safer operations - By preventing fugitive material, our transfer point products reduce the risk of workers slipping and falling during clean-up.
- Less wear and tear on equipment - Because our products improve tracking, the belt lasts longer without fraying on the edges and the demand on the drives, pulleys and decking is reduced.
- Minimal dust issues - Controlling airborne dust means it won’t be inhaled by workers or ignite and cause an explosion.
- Fewer stoppages for cleaning - Keeping material on the belt means less spillage and fewer stops in production for cleanup.

Experience With Various Types Of Motor Vehicle Accidents
We have been helping Coloradans recover from vehicle accidents for more than 35 years. Our experience covers a wide range of accidents and their causes, including:
- ATV rollovers — Unqualified operators, alcohol use and excessive speed over treacherous terrain all contribute to dangerous accidents.
- Boating accidents — Alcohol is a major contributing factor in boat accidents on CO lakes.
- Car accidents — Driver distractions, such as cellphone use and texting, can be just as dangerous as alcohol use.
- Motorcycle accidents — Riders are at greater risk to injury since their bodies are unprotected.
- Pedestrian-related accidents — Inattentive drivers, nighttime conditions and pedestrian carelessness can lead to serious and fatal accidents.
- Truck accidents — Major factors include driver fatigue, aggressive driving and distractions, such as cellphone use, along with equipment failures.
No matter the facts of your traffic accident, you can rely on our attorneys to investigate fully and represent your interests aggressively.
Insurance requirements in Colorado
Like every other state, Colorado requires licensed drivers to maintain a minimum level of liability insurance. In case of an accident, a driver must carry:
- Bodily injury liability — $25,000 per person and a total of $50,000 per accident
- Property damage liability — $15,000 per occurrence
These limits are far below anticipated losses for a serious car, motorcycle or truck accident. It is prudent to carry four times that much coverage. It is also prudent to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, in case an uninsured driver hits you.
Contact our Denver car accident attorney to assert your claim
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, let one of our experienced personal injury attorneys evaluate your claim free of charge. Lampert & Walsh, LLC works on a contingency fee basis, so we don’t charge legal fees unless we obtain an agreed upon settlement or jury verdict for you. Call us today at 720-487-1080 or contact our Denver office online.
Appreciated the willingness Sean had to work on a case that was difficult. He negotiated a settlement that was 3 times more than the original offer. Saved me a lot of hours of hassle and I was grateful for the guidance through a complicated process. He also found money my insurance company failed to inform me about. I recommend Sean and his team for anyone who needs help fighting insurance companies.

Tri-State celebrates Free Comic Book Day in style this weekend
Libby Cunningham, Community Manager
2:14 PM, May 3, 2013
2:18 PM, May 3, 2013
CINCINNATI - Perhaps reading comic books was once a niche hobby, but judging by the amount of Free Comic Book Day events in the Tri-State this weekend that's not the case anymore.
What is Free Comic Book Day? If you ask Kendall Swafford, owner of comic book shop Up Up and Away in Cheviot, it's a "celebration of the art," when anyone can go to a participating shop and pick up a free read. It's been going on since 2002 and traditionally happens the first Saturday of May.
"There are millions of people nationwide that enjoy superhero movies but have never opened a comic book," Swafford said.
The cool factor
Thanks to movies, it's become more "socially acceptable" for adults to read comic books, Swafford says, and the graphic stories have something for everyone.
Comic book fans are notoriously passionate, possibly because it's easy to get attached to the characters.
"The sky's the limit," Swafford said. "There's no limit to the kinds of stories that can be told in comics."
Up Up and Away is celebrating the event Saturday with sales, celebrity sightings, face painting and of course, free comics.
"(We have) 52 free comic books to choose from," Swafford said. "The Walking Dead, the highest rated show on cable, (was a graphic novel first)."
Walking Dead fans have the chance to meet co-creator Tony Moore twice this weekend: at Swafford's shop on Saturday and the Cincinnati Public Library branch downtown on Sunday. Moore will be part of a panel at the debut of Cincinnati Library Comic Con Sunday.
"It's a four-hour event, it opens at 1 p.m.," said Lee Ann McNabb, a reference librarian and event organizer.
Comic fans have the opportunity to attend a comic creators panel, participate in a drawing contest and see a small display of comics dating back to 1887.
A good read
Growing up a Star Trek: The Next Generation fan, McNabb said her love for graphic storytelling reminds her of childhood.
What's more, she also sees the value in this version of storytelling as a way to get kids interested in reading.
"Sometimes it's a way to bridge a gap," she explained. "If children aren't big readers and teachers notice, comic books can be a way to get kids interested. It's not just words, it's visual materials. They can look at it and understand the context of the situation."
According to FreeComicBookDay.com, the following local stores are participating in free comic book day Saturday:

Tomographic data processed by 2D inversion programs can produce fairly large distortions due to incorrect source and/or detector positions. This problem is very serious in high-frequency electromagnetic tomography (GPR), due to the dimensions of the transmitter and receiver antennae. The errors can even be larger when coupled antennae are used (receiver and transmitter inside the same box) whose positions are not clearly known. Similar errors can be involved in seismic tomography, for instance when the mechanical connection between transducers and sample is defective. In this paper the problem has been studied using synthetic data which were calculated for different acquisition geometries. Synthetic data have been distorted assuming a position error in the whole set of sensors, transmitters or receivers. Tests have been carried out using a homogeneous, isotropic medium and various simple inhomogeneous models, characterized by different geometric boundaries. The responses for all the models have been calculated (both forward and inverse problems) assuming straight raypaths, also in the case of velocity variations. The calculated traveltimes were processed using an LSQR algorithm implemented in an iterative inversionprogram, containing two damping factors to reduce total and local velocity contrasts. The inversion results have been reproduced graphically and the analysis of residuals has been carried out. Finally, propagation of these residuals, both in time and velocity, is discussed.

Although it has not been the most highly anticipated possible rubber match, the trilogy between Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson is near, as the two will square off again on May 19th. The event, which is headlined by the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix final between Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier, will take place at the HP Pavillion in Strikeforce’s hometown of San Jose, California.
MMAJunkie first broke the news regarding the matchup.
Melendez (20-2) last fought in December, defeating Jorge Masvidal by decision in San Diego, for his third consecutive defense of the Strikeforce lightweight title. Interestingly enough, his last fight in San Jose was against Thomson, whom he defeated in 2009 after losing to “The Punk” the year before. The Cesar Gracie product has not lost since losing that first matchup with Thomson, winning six consecutive fights in the four years since.
Thomson (19-4-1NC) earned the title shot and third matchup after defeating KJ Noons in March via unanimous decision. Although he was not happy with his performance, Thomson will certainly relish the opportunity to determine the winner of he and Melendez’s series, after being even after ten minutes of cage time. The longtime American Kickboxing Academy member has just one loss since losing to Melendez in their rematch, and that took place under the Dream promotion in 2010. With a 10-2 record in Strikeforce, Thomson has had a strong showing since leaving the UFC in 2004.
Also added to the card is a light heavyweight matchup between Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante and Mike Kyle. “Feijao” (11-3), has not fought since defeating Yoel Romero Palacio in September in Cincinnati, his first fight since losing the light heavyweight title to Dan Henderson earlier in 2011. He will take on Kyle (19-8-1NC), who has struggled with injuries over the last few years. He has been scheduled to take on Gegard Mousasi on multiple occasions, but the matchup has never taken place due to Kyle and Mousasi both withdrawing due to injury issues.
Those two fights will take place on the main card that will be headlined by the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix final between Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier, along with a welterweight matchup between Naj-Shon Burrell and Bobby Voelker.

Sufferers with metastatic melanoma who also improvement on ipilimumab may clearly derive advantage to subsequent anti-PD-1 (programmed loss of life-1). 0.03). Individuals with long term ipilimumab advantage (PFS 180 times) had especially excellent results to pembrolizumab in comparison to quick progressors (PFS 45 times; ORR 55% vs. 25%, CBR 80% vs. 25%, median PFS 249 vs. 50 times). Using logistic regression versions, PFS to ipilimumab was individually correlated with response to pembrolizumab (OR 1.22, 95% CI Rabbit Polyclonal to OR 1.02C1.51). This research shows that long term PFS to ipilimumab predicts superb outcomes to following pembrolizumab, offering useful prognostic info for clinicians. = 76) and Vanderbilt University or college (= 40) had been collected. All individuals who received at least one dosage of both ipilimumab and pembrolizumab had been contained in the evaluation. During evaluation, all surviving individuals had been adopted for at the least 80 times after treatment with pembrolizumab. Because of this research, we included just individuals who received therapy sequentially; we didn’t include individuals treated with mixed ipilimumab and nivolumab. Research Style Demographic data including age group, sex, site of metastatic disease, and lactate dehydrogenase had been recorded. We gathered treatment outcomes, including objective response (by RECIST 1.1 criteria), progression-free survival, and general survival for every therapy (11). Period therapy between ipilimumab and pembrolizumab was also documented. Tumor response was evaluated by cross-sectional imaging after four cycles of ipilimumab, unless medically deterioration necessitated imaging before all cycles had been finished. Ipilimumab was given in the FDA authorized dosage of 3 mg/kg. Pembrolizumab was given at 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks as regular therapy or a part of an extended access system, or at numerous dosages (2C10 mg/kg every 2C3 weeks) through medical trials. Statistics Development free success (PFS) was determined as enough time from the 1st dosage of therapy towards the buy 319460-85-0 day of recorded disease development, and was evaluated for ipilimumab and pembrolizumab, respectively. General survival (Operating-system) was determined as enough time from therapy begin to period of death for just about any cause. Patients had been censored at their last follow-up. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, total response was thought as the quality of most lesions as well as the absence of fresh lesions and partial response like a reduction in tumor burden by 30% from your baseline measurements. Objective response price (ORR) was thought as the pace of total or partial reactions (CR or PR); medical benefit price (CBR) was thought as the aggregate of total and partial reactions, and steady disease (SD) enduring at buy 319460-85-0 least three months (CR + PR + SD). The final results to pembrolizumab had been evaluated with regards to PFS on prior ipilimumab. We evaluated PFS to ipilimumab as a continuing adjustable and correlated with response to pembrolizumab using ordinal logistic regression versions, controlled for age group, prior therapies, treatment middle, metastatic stage, and lactate dehydrogenase buy 319460-85-0 (LDH). Ordinal regression versions considered intensifying disease, steady disease, and objective response (CR/PR) as ordinal results. We also performed Cox proportional risks evaluation managing for the same factors to determine whether PFS to ipilimumab expected PFS to following pembrolizumab. We stratified individuals with 90 day time PFS and 90 day time PFS and likened their response to following anti-PD-1 using chi-square screening, and compared following PFS and Operating-system to anti-PD-1 between both of these organizations using the log rank check. We performed related analyses stratifying by even more extreme ideals of ipilimumab PFS: 45 times (quick development) in comparison to ipilimumab PFS of 180 times (prolonged advantage). For proof idea, we also performed these analyses using cutoffs of 60/120 times and stratifying into tertiles. = 42) and 63% of individuals had been male (= 73) (Desk 1). Age groups ranged from 24 to 88 having a mean of 63 years. Some individuals (59%, = 69) received no treatment ahead of ipilimumab. Desk 1 Individual Demographics = 86) experienced intensifying disease as their finest response to ipilimumab, 6% (= 7) experienced a incomplete response and 18% (= 21) experienced stable disease. Pursuing treatment with ipilimumab, 67 individuals experienced an interim treatment, whereas the rest of the individuals had been treated with pembrolizumab soon after development on ipilimumab. Of most individuals after that treated with pembrolizumab, 35% (= 41) experienced a incomplete response, 7% (= 8) experienced a comprehensive response, 14% (= 16) acquired steady disease, and 44% (= 51) acquired primary disease development on pembrolizumab, using a median PFS of 176 times.

Podocyte number is normally significantly low in diabetics and animal choices however the mechanism remains unclear. data from cell-attached patch-clamp tests demonstrated that both high blood sugar and H2O2 turned on the TRPC6 route in charge podocytes however not in TRPC6 knockdown podocytes. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that high blood sugar raised ROS in podocytes which H2O2 decreased the membrane potential of podocytes and raised intracellular Ca2+ via activation of TRPC6. Since intracellular Ca2+ overload induces apoptosis H2O2-induced apoptosis may derive from TRPC6-mediated elevation of intracellular Ca2+. These data jointly claim that high blood sugar induces apoptosis in podocytes by rousing TRPC6 via elevation of ROS. < 0.05. 3 Outcomes 3.1 Great glucose induces apoptosis of podocytes via TRPC6 Great glucose causes apoptosis of podocytes  however the mechanism continues to be largely unidentified. Using confocal microscopy to investigate apoptotic podocytes stained with annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide we discovered that treatment of podocytes with 33 mM blood sugar for seven days (high blood sugar) induced significant apoptosis in charge podocytes. Following the treatment the percentage of apoptotic podocytes was GW 4869 elevated from 1 ± 2% to 24 ± 10% (= 15 < 0.001) but remained in a minimal level (7 ± 5%) when the lifestyle moderate contained 10 μM 1-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl) propoxy]ethyl]imidazole (SKF-96365) a universal blocker of TRPC stations (Fig. 1 A C). To determine whether TRPC6 is normally involved in this technique podocytes had been stably transfected with TRPC6 silencing brief hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knock down TRPC6 appearance in podocytes. American blotting data demonstrated that TRPC6 appearance was significantly low GW 4869 in these podocytes (Fig. 1D). In these TRPC6 knockdown podocytes high blood sugar didn't induce significant GW 4869 apoptosis; the percentage of apoptotic podocytes tended to end up being elevated from 2 ± 3% to 5 ± 5% nonetheless it had not been statistically significant (= 15 > 0.05) (Fig. 1 B C). These data claim that high blood sugar induces apoptosis with a TRPC6-reliant pathway. Fig. 1 Great blood sugar induces apoptosis of podocytes via TRPC6. = 6 < 0.01). In neglected TRPC6 knockdown podocytes we were not able to record any route activity in 6 cell-attached areas.

These data claim that high glucose activates TRPC6 in podocytes together. Fig. 2 Great blood sugar induces TRPC6 route activity in podocytes.

Podocytes had been stained with 2′ 7 ... 3.4 H2O2 induces apoptosis of podocytes via TRPC6 The above mentioned tests demonstrated that high blood sugar elevated intracellular ROS Rabbit Polyclonal to OR. and induced apoptosis. To determine whether high blood sugar induces apoptosis by elevating ROS in podocytes we utilized H2O2 as an instrument to control the degrees of intracellular ROS. Confocal microscopy tests comparable to those in Fig. 1 had been completed except that in these tests podocytes had been treated with 5 mM H2O2 for 1 h. Fig. 4 implies that treatment with 5 mM H2O2 for 1 h induced apoptosis in charge podocytes; the percentage of apoptotic podocytes was elevated from 1 ± 2% to 14 ± 8% (= 15 < 0.001) but remained in a minimal level (2 ± 3%) when lifestyle moderate contained 10 μM SKF-96365 a universal blocker of TRPC stations (Fig. 4 A-C). GW 4869 On the other hand H2O2 put on the cells also for 1 h at the same focus (5 mM) didn't induce apoptosis in TRPC6 knockdown podocytes. The percentage of apoptotic podocytes tended to improve from 1 ± 2% to 3 ± 5% however the increase had not been statistically significant (= 15 > 0.05) (Fig. 4 B C). We pointed out that an extremely high focus of H2O2 was necessary to induce the result. This isn’t astonishing because in the hippocampus.


Isambard Kingdom Brunel, 1806 to 1859 - Engineer and Architect to the British Empire
In all that constitutes an engineer in the highest, fullest and best sense, Brunel had no contemporary, no predecessor. - -The Engineer, 1910.
The Early Years
Born in Portsea on 9th April 1806, to a French monarchist father, Sir Marc Brunel and his English wife, Sophie Brunel, neé Kingdom, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was the youngest of the couple's three children.
Engineering talent seemed to run in the family. Isambard's father, Marc was reponsible for inventing the first machine which could reliably manufacture
block and tackle pulley systems, an idea which was sold to the British Admiralty and employed all over the world. To give his son a good start for his future engineering career, Marc had Isambard educated in both the French and English education systems, with his schooling being split between Hove, near Brighton and the College of Caen in Normandy, before he was accepted into the prestigious Henri Quatre in Paris. He served his apprenticeship with the precision instrument maker, Breguet, before moving on to work for the family engineering office.
Underground and Over Gaps
The young engineering prodigy went to work with his father on the building of the Thames Tunnel, which ran from Rotherhithe to Wapping, in 1827 . This tunnel was to become the world's first bored tunnel under a river, and Isambard took over after the original resident engineer, William Armstrong, resigned due to ill health. Several attempts had been made to tunnel under the Thames, most notably one by Richard Trevithick, inventor of the steam engine, all of which had failed. The project ballooned in cost, almost beggaring his father and was dogged by misfortune, suffering two major collapses, the second of which almost killed Isambard, but it was a success in the end, primarily due to Marc Brunels invention of the tunnelling shield.
In 1829, whilst recovering from the tunnel cave-in, Brunel entered a competition to design a suspension bridge to cross the River Avon at Clifton, his first design was rejected by the competition's judge, the famed engineer Thomas Telford in favour of Telford's own entry, but his second won though Brunel never saw the finished product, as a lack of funds and the start of the Bristol Riots delayed construction of the bridge until after his death.
In recognition of his achievements Brunel, at the age of 24, was elected to the Royal Society in 1830. His best was yet to come though. He was appointed as chief engineer at the Bristol Docks a year later. In his building of the docks he started his trademark habit of designing almost everything related to a project, including the locks, the Underfall and a dredger to keep the harbour free of silt. The designs were so successful that they formed a heavy influence on the design of harbours at Milford Haven, Plymouth and Cardiff.
The Great Railway Pioneer
In March 1833, shortly after marrying Mary Horsley, the 27 year old Brunel was appointed chief engineer of the Great Western Railway. His contribution to the company can be described as nothing short of epic. He designed the track layout, the track itself, the rolling stock, the tunnels, the bridges, and even the lamposts used in the stations. The stations which he designed to terminate the original route of the GWR, Paddington Station as the London terminus, and Temple Meads at the Bristol end of the route, are masterpieces of industrial design, and some of the bridges, most notably the wrought iron bridges across the Wye at Chepstow, and over the Tamar at Saltash are truly awe inspiring.
His commitment to using new technology and construction techniques enabled him to push the envelope further than any other engineer of his time. His first notable engineering projects for the company was the construction of a series of bridges, which were built using a compressed-air caisson to sink the pier foundations for the bridge into the riverbed. These works were responsible for this method of working underwater becoming popular, and also lead to a lot of workers developing the previously unknown Caissons disease, better known as 'The Bends' due to working in a high pressure environment.
His work often met with controversy. His decision to adopt the wider broad gauge width for his railway tracks, though sensible bearing in mind his desire to increase the speed of travel down the line, set him at odds with the so called 'father of rail' George Stephenson who preferred narrow gauge, giving us essentially the Victorian take on the VHS vs. Betamax argument of the 1980's. This difference in track width meant that passengers often had to change trains as they moved between railway tracks laid by different engineers. The argument finally went against Brunel and the narrow gauge though technically inferior, became the de facto standard.
One of his greatest achievements during the building of the GWR was Box Tunnel, at just over 2 miles in length, it took almost 6 years to complete. Brunel's engineering skill was such that even after all this time the crews tunnelling from each end finally met in the middle, they were found to be a mere 1 1/4 inches out of alignment.
During his time with the company he was responsible for laying over 1,000 miles of track across South Wales, the Midlands, and Ireland, as well as advising on the construction of the Victorian lines in Australia and the Eastern Bengal Railway in India.
His success with the GWR strangely left him dissatisfied with the performance of early locomotives, and he experimented, unsuccessfully, with the atmospheric system pioneered by Joseph Samuda in his designs for the the South Devon Railway. This railway was powered by air, which sucked the cars along by the differential pressure in the tube meant they could reach speeds of 60 mph .... when it worked, as the design which relied on split leather pipes lubricated with seal fat to maintain an air tight seal, which they often didn't. The sole surviving pump house for the railway can still be seen in the Devon villiage of Exe.
His engineering brilliance is perhaps best exemplified in his design for three steam ships. Brunel formed the Great Western Steamship Company after persuading the board of GWR that it made sense to provide passengers on their railway the option of continuing their journey onward from Bristol to New York. Construction started on a conventional wooden hulled paddle steamer called the SS Great Western which was the first transatlantic passenger steamship, in Bristol in 1836. The ship was the largest in the world at the time being 236ft long, 35ft wide with a displacement of 2,300 tons and was launched in 1838, cutting the crossing time between Bristol and New York to 15 days.
Inspired by this success, Brunel went further by designing the SS Great Britain, the world's first iron, screw-propeller driven, ocean-going ship which could carry 250 passengers, and 1,200 tonnes of cargo and but for an unfortunate accident in 1846 where she ran aground in Dundrum Bay in Northern Ireland, would have been a great success. The ship has since been salvaged and forms the centrepiece of Bristol's Maritime Heritage Museum.
Brunel's third ship, the SS Great Eastern, launched in 1859, was a far more ambitious proposition. This huge ship, was designed to sail from England to Australia carrying 4000 people, and weighed in at more than 22,500 tons. Its construction and launch were fraught with difficulties. Despite a successful launch the ship was never carried many passengers, and ended up being used to lay the first telegraph line between the UK and the US. After this voyage was completed the SS Great Eastern ended its days moored in the middle of the River Mersey, being used as an advertising hoarding. The stresses and stain of designing and builing the ship placed a great deal of stress on Brunel and whilst watching the Great Eastern in her trials on 5th January, 1858, he suffered a seizure. He died ten days later and was buried at Kensal Green cemetery on 20th September, 1859.

IRISH LOGISTICS FIRM Nightline recorded a significant hike in sales during the year it was acquired by package delivery giant UPS.
Last year, it was announced that the New York Stock Exchange-listed delivery group bought the Dublin-based company for an undisclosed sum.
Accounts just published for Nightline Logistics Group Unlimited Company showed the firm registered sales of €61.7 million, up from €56 million in 2016, during the year.
Nightline is ultimately owned by Eirpost Group Unlimited Company, which showed in its own accounts for 2017 that it invested a total of €24.1 million in the subsidiary last year. Eirpost was acquired by UPS in the takeover deal.
Nightline logged a gross profit of €24.5 million for the year, but it registered an after-tax loss of nearly €326,000.
A breakdown of its sales showed revenue at Nightline’s operation in the Republic dipped from €39.6 million to €35 million last year. However, European sales increased by more than €10 million to €26.7 million.
This is the first set of public accounts filed by Nightline with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) in a decade – and the first released by Eirpost.
In 2010, Nightline registered as an unlimited company in Ireland, which meant it has not been required to file basic financial information, such as annual accounts. Those rules changed for some firms two years ago.
Nightline was founded in 1992 by John Tuohy and Dave Field. According the accounts, the business directly employed an average number of 474 staff during 2017, up from 356 in 2016, most of whom worked in its depots. It paid an average wage of €31,360.
UPS’s move to acquire Eirpost was completed in June 2017. During the year, UPS also acquired global trade management services firm Sandler & Travis Trade Advisory Services.
According to UPS’s annual report for 2017, cash paid for business acquisitions totalled $134 million. When UPS acquired the Irish operation, it was noted that Nightline would be eventually rebranded.
Nightline said the firm would continue to operate under its own brand name “in the short- to medium-term” but will eventually be called UPS.
Other parts of the group, including collection-point service Parcel Motel, would also be rebranded in time.
The service, which allows online shoppers in Ireland to use a ‘virtual’ UK delivery address, has recently run into planning issues for several of its local collection points.
An Bord Pleanála told Parcel Motel, which has over 175 pickup sites across Ireland, that it has no permission to operate a number of its collection points in Dublin, which were installed without planning permission.

“The Q2 Buybacks Report by FactSet is, as usual, sobering reading. During the 12 months ending in June, companies in the S&P 500 spent $555.5 billion repurchasing their shares. For the first time since October 2009, buy-backs exceeded free cash flow (cash flow after capex); they’re borrowing to buy back shares”.
I changed the title a bit, as I am beginning to see “my country” perception of reality as hell deserving enemy. Or is it wrong that this happens in the USA but not if US corporations do it abroad? LAWS OF KARMA APPLY ALWAYS IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE, WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET, JUST WAIT! Your loyalties bind you morally to the crimes commited by those you support. Next link I am sharing, in a different post, is the headlines of the Sorcha Faal. They talk of the moral desintegration of modern western us and the SHAME I feel to be part of this brutal, revolting, lie that we call democracy and citizenship. Our world died while we pretended not to be seeing but the “business as usual” mainstream news, science and education.

What exactly is Black history?
That’s the question I find myself asking every October when Black History Month rolls back around.
To me, it encompasses entire continents, thousands of years and ancient civilisations that cannot be placed into a single bracket.
How could all of this be condensed down into just one month of the year? I believe we should teach Black history all year round – but let’s just call it history.
My mother is from Zimbabwe and my father is Nigerian. Those two countries alone are poles apart in so many aspects.
I’m lucky enough to have been taught by my dad and uncles about the revolutions in Nigeria, the many languages spoken, the rival tribes, numerous coups, the liberation from British colonialism, and our problematic treatment of Ghanaians living in Nigeria.
As for Zimbabwe, I went to primary school there for just over one year so – along with my mum’s oral history – I was taught about both Portuguese and British colonisation, our rich soil or copper reserves and the freedom fighter Robert Mugabe who eventually became a tyrannical ruler.
This enriched my understanding of both who I am and where I am from. The struggles of my forefathers and the current state of Nigeria and Zimbabwe is clearer to understand when you know the history of those countries.
Knowing the battles and obstacles of my elders also gave me a greater appreciation of the hardships endured by my grandparents to allow for more opportunities for their children, and in return my parents did the same for me and my siblings.
With both countries, I am barely even scratching the surface of their great histories. I can’t tell you everything that I have been taught in this column, and I certainly couldn’t do it in one month.
Black history can never be broken down into four weeks – it is too great and far reaching. Just because I am interested in the history of Nigeria, it doesn’t mean my Bajan friends are and vice versa. So what aspects of Black history will be handpicked and taught for the month?
Regarding Black history in the UK specifically, I think it should just be taught as British history.
It shouldn’t shy away from the tricky parts. Like the relationship between the Commonwealth and the millions of people around the world who were affected by it.
How the British Museum allegedly houses stolen artefacts from other countries. Or how Britain stole minerals and resources from other nations and still profits today from those actions.
How we only finished paying off the debt accrued by giving reparations to slavers in 2015, and those families that profited from slavery made millions of pounds, which is now passed down as generational wealth – but the descendants of slaves were passed nothing apart from their slave master’s surname.
But there are also plenty of Black British pioneers who should be taught about in schools.
Olaudah Equiano was a Nigerian born abolitionist. He bought his freedom and settled in Britain where he wrote and published one of the earliest arguments against slavery. The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano sold out and was incredibly popular in its day.
Many of us know the tragic end of Justin Fashanu but his life as a footballer was trailblazing. He was the first Black footballer to have a £1million transfer fee, and he was the first openly gay footballer in the top flight.
When children are taught about WW2 they should be told of the Black soldiers from all over the world who fought for our freedoms too. We cannot have women’s rights and the suffrage movement discussed without considering how Black and Asian women were treated.
Black History is too vast to be whittled down to one month with a few select bits of our lives and stories.
On top of that, Black history should be passed down from our parents. Thanks to my dad we can trace our family back to around 600 years ago, right to the spot on the Delta River where my family have their origins.
But it’s not just a personal history that needs to be passed on, it’s an oral history of the country that your parents are from too.
This is why I believe it’s so important for my son to attend Igbo lessons, where he learns the language and the culture. In his classes he is told stories of the old Nigeria, the reason that the flag is green and white, he’s taught why the land has lush green forests and what animals live there.
Eventually, as he grows up, he’ll be taught about the politics of the country and the issues and problems that have historically plagued the nation and what caused them. He’ll be told of Nigerian heroes, legends who fought for the country, Nigerians who were innovators, he’ll be taught about the Super Eagles and Jay-Jay Okocha.

For me, Black History Month will never be able to tell all aspects of our history, so rather than have 30 days dedicated to it, we should instead teach Black British history all year round as part of the national curriculum.
Don’t treat it as a separate entity that can be diluted to simply a monthly gesture.

Few things are as painful as the gripping pain of gallstones. Sleep at night can be interrupted by the throbbing pain, or work interrupted when the pain comes after eating a heavy meal. Regardless of when you experience a gallstone attack, getting rid of the pain will be a top priority.
How to Stop An Attack Right Now
Here are some options to stop a gallstone attack now:
- Lay down on your left side. Some people use heating pads or have their spouse massage the area of pain
- Take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen.
- Take a shower and let the water massage the pain area
- Some find that Shiatsu massage will help
- After the pain subsides, try a tea mixture with peppermint and cardamom
These will only provide temporary relief, and should only be used while pursuing alternative treatments for gallstones.
What is a Gallstone Attack?
A gallstone attack often occurs suddenly and is the result of blockage in the flow of bile. When a gallstone blocks one of the bile ducts, bile is unable to flow normally, which results in pressure and pain. Gallstone pain frequently occurs after eating a heavy meal, or one with high fat content. Gallstone attacks also occur at night.
The symptoms of gallstones are primarily pain, and include:
- Upper Abdomen Pain – the most common gallstone symptom is increasing pain on the upper right side of the abdomen, directly below the ribcage. It can be mild at first, but usually increases and lasts from several minutes up to several hours. Severe pain is usually called biliary colic
- Back Pain – the pain from gallstones can radiate from the abdomen to the back, usually on the right side under the shoulder.
While pain is the primary symptom, other symptoms include:
These are primarily due to poor digestion of fats, but may also be due to more severe blockage. If severe pain continues without relief, fever persists, and vomiting continues, it is important to go to the hospital immediately.
Gallstone Pain Treatments
Doctors often recommend removing the gallbladder as a solution. However, there are some other treatments to think of as well.
- Dietary Change – making quick and lasting change to your can help regulate gallstones. Keep in mind that this will not be a quick fix for an acute case of gallstones. The main considerations are elimination of saturated fats, fried foods, other high fat foods, and an increase in dietary fiber.
- Herbs – there are a number of herbs that have been proven to support gallbladder health. These can be used at the same time as dietary change for more effective results. They include milk thistle and globe artichoke. These herbs help produce more bile as well as detoxify the liver and gallbladder. Additional bile may help to flush out gallstones.
- Bile Acids – some doctors prescribe bile acids to help dissolve cholesterol related gallstones. These therapies may take up to two years to work, and the gallstones sometimes return after the treatment stops.
- Gallbladder Flush – many people have found help for their gallstones by doing a gallbladder flush. These treatments usually involve, simple, easy to get ingredients, and work by dissolving and flushing out the stones. This can be a very effective treatment, especially when coupled with dietary change and herbal support.
When pursuing an alternative therapy for gallstones, it is often recommended to combine several methods to achieve greater results. Also keep in mind that natural therapies should be taken with care, and the condition should still be monitored by a doctor.

With so many events and activities celebrating the Jubilee across the UK Commonwealth and beyond, we’ve shared Her Majesty The Queen’s sustainable initiatives that have been rolled out in 2022.
With less than a week until the culmination of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee festivities, we’ve rounded up all the initiatives Her Majesty has made which were eco-friendly and sustainable! The celebrations will be marked by a special four-day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 5th.
The bank holiday will allow communities and people across the United Kingdom to come together to commemorate the momentous occasion. The four-day celebration will feature a diverse range of public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.
Throughout the year, events and efforts have been held to commemorate this extraordinary landmark. Let’s take a look at the sustainable moments that have taken place:
The Queen’s Green Canopy:
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a one-of-a-kind tree planting initiative created to commemorate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, inviting individuals from all around the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee.”
Individuals, Scout and Girlguiding groups, towns, cities, schools and corporations will all be invited to help improve our environment by planting trees during the official planting season, which runs from October to March 2023. Tree planting will resume in October 2022 and continue until the end of the Jubilee year.
The QGC will encourage the planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation that will benefit future generations, with a focus on planting sustainably.
Get involved here.
The Queen’s Anniversary Prize (The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Challenge):
The Royal Anniversary Trust has created an innovative new programme to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, encouraging leading UK universities and further education colleges to collaborate to help their sector reduce carbon emissions to net zero.
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Challenge will be offered to the 21 winning institutions (15 universities and 6 further education colleges) from the Trust’s most recent round of the Queen’s Anniversary Prizes (Round 14). It will stimulate and challenge leaders in UK tertiary education, with universities and further education colleges teaming forces to help overcome one of society’s most urgent issues.
The Challenge began on March 1, 2022, and will end in February 2023. The goal is for challenges with varied themes to continue to run in the future alongside the Prizes scheme in their typical two-year cycle.

Commonwealth Of Kindness Workshops:
With the launch of two new initiatives, students across the United Kingdom are being encouraged to leave their mark for the Platinum Jubilee.
The Ideas Foundation’s Commonwealth Of Kindness Project:
This project was created to provide students hands-on experience with technology while creating digital stories that would be broadcast on billboards throughout the UK. The stories should reflect “values of diversity, sustainability, and kindness,” and the winning entries will be placed near the schools where they were created.
The inaugural workshop was held on March 7 in North Yorkshire, and subsequent events will be held throughout the UK. Schools that participate will be given tickets to the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which will be held on June 5th in London.
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant Activity:
Another project that will put students’ creativity and STE(A)M abilities to the test is the Engineering Development Trust and Industrial Cadets’ sustainable street party initiative, which The Prince of Wales is patron of.
The purpose is for young people to plan a local Jubilee celebration and design a poster explaining the sustainable celebration. A committee of specialists will review the entries, and selected kids will earn tickets to the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
Rosanna Machado, CEO of the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, said that “We want to ensure that the pageant leaves a lasting social and environmental impact, and these initiatives will help teach some valuable creative, sustainable and STE(A)M skills which can be used long into their future.”
What Is The Timetable For The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
If you want to be in the thick of the action this bank holiday, look no further. Here is the complete schedule.
Thursday, June 2, 2022:
The Queen’s Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour) The Queen’s Birthday Parade, popularly known as Trooping the Colour, will kick off the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Crowds are expected to line London’s streets to watch around 1,400 marching soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians make their way from Buckingham Palace to The Mall and Horse Guards Parade.
Platinum Jubilee Flypast This will coincide with the Royal Family’s balcony appearance (more details will be announced soon).
Platinum Jubilee Beacons Beacons will be lit across the UK and in the capital cities of Commonwealth countries. This will be a lighting installation featuring The Queen’s Green Canopy ‘Tree of Trees’ sculpture and projections onto the front of Buckingham Palace. This fresh approach to beacon lighting will represent the Royal Family’s long history of championing environmental causes.
Friday, June 3, 2022:
National Service of Thanksgiving St Paul’s Cathedral will host a Thanksgiving Service in honour of the Queen’s long reign. Great Paul, the country’s largest church bell, will be rung for the Service, marking it as the first time it has been played for a Royal occasion.
Saturday, June 4, 2022:
The Derby – Epsom Downs Racecourse Epsom Downs Racecourse will host the 243rd running of The Derby as part of the core weekend events.
BBC Platinum Party at the Palace Kirsty Young and Roman Kemp will host live coverage of the Platinum Party at the Palace, which will be broadcast across the BBC. Famous figures from the entertainment industry will be brought together for a night of musical tributes to commemorate the Jubilee. The event will be attended by 22,000 individuals, with 10,000 tickets given through a public ballot and 5,000 reserved for key workers.
Sunday, June 5, 2022:
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant More than 5,000 people from the UK and the Commonwealth will take part in the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, which will include street art, theatre, music, carnival, circus and costume. Students that have won the The Platinum Jubilee Pageant activity will be invited.
The Big Jubilee Lunch Over 60,000 people have signed up to host Big Jubilee Lunches over the bank holiday weekend, with activities ranging from world record attempts for the longest street celebration to backyard BBQs and everything in between. As millions of people around the UK gather for lunch in their communities, a flagship event will be held at The Oval in London, where a specially invited audience will celebrate friendship, food, and fun alongside entertainment at the renowned venue.
Amongst her own personal changes, such as energy consumption, travelling green (electric cars), no longer wearing fur and more, we can definitely agree that The Queen (and the Royal Family) has been actively championing environmental causes this year. We’re all looking forward to communities coming together this year to commemorate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee and her impressive 70-year reign!
