This paper examines two very different approaches to dance training, ballet technique and the somatic discipline of Topf technique ('TT'). It explores and evaluates the application of TT to ballet training. Initially, what is meant by the term 'mind/body connection' is discussed, and then the paper examines, in a theoretical and a practical sense, how TT can enhance ballet training in order to make the discovery of the mind/body connection a possibility. It considers the advantages, disadvantages and practicality of this application. At times the paper generates far more questions than it is able to answer, such as: 'how do we educate somatically aware teachers?', but it neverthe-less presents a viable and convincing argument in favour of this approach to dance education. This paper is limited to considering the application of one somatic discipline to ballet technique and should be viewed as an introductory exploration of this complex issue.

Probe into man’s mysterious road trip disappearance
A PROBE into the mysterious disappearance of a young New South Wales man on a road trip to Cairns has been scheduled for May as further details of the last time he was seen alive were revealed in court.
Newcastle man Jayden Penno-Tompsett, 22, was heading to the Far North with his friend Lucas Tattersall for New Year's Eve celebrations in December 2017.
The pre-inquest conference in the Cairns Coroner's Court heard he had a "sudden and acute decompression in his mental health" while the pair were in Charters Towers early in the morning on December 31.
Charters Towers is about 480km south of Cairns.
Counsel assisting the Coroner Joseph Crawfoot told the court Mr Penno-Tompsett drove their car - a red Nissan Pulsar - "erratically" around the town before he was last seen by Mr Tattersall walking off into a fenced paddock on the outskirts of town.
Mr Crawfoot said mobile phone data showed this happened sometime between 7-11.20am.
Mr Tattersall continued on to Cairns, but Mr Crawfoot said concerns were raised on New Year's Day when Mr Penno-Tompsett failed to arrive.
He said contact was made with the Charters Towers hospital, but he was not officially reported missing until January 4 by his father.
A major search began and continued for 12 days, with Mr Tattersall assisting police and participating in re-enactments.
Mr Tattersall has never been charged with any wrongdoing.
The court heard Mr Penno-Tompsett had a known history for mental health issues including suicidal thoughts, along with substance abuse.
Mr Crawfoot said the pair had illicit substances in the vehicle which they were taking to Cairns.
Mr Penno-Tompsett's mother Rachel Penno, who has campaigned continuously for answer's into her son's disappearance, appeared in court via phone link on Thursday.
Coroner Nerida Wilson said she "cannot imagine the anguish Jayden's family have endured".
She said the purpose of the inquest was to establish whether Mr Penno-Tompsett was dead and the likely location that occurred, but it was not her role "to attribute fault".
The inquest is due to be held over five days from May 3 in Cairns.
Ms Penno was involved in a podcast into Mr Penno-Tompsett's disappearance called the Missing Files which was released in December where she urged authorities to look harder at a mysterious property near where he vanished.
"There's been so many different things said: the most recent one was that he is in a dungeon and then there's others, like he was thrown off a cliff or that he was dismembered and acid was used.
"It's so difficult to hear that and I just want my boy home."
The podcast heard other theories including suggestion he was killed by a bikie gang over drug debt; committed suicide in a remote location; changed identities and fled to start a new life; or was the victim of a roaming serial killer on the notorious Flinders Highway, colloquially known as the "Highway Of Death".

Hi, the Sessions Judge has cancelled the anticipatory bail of accused due to breach of condition (i.e. marking presence once in a month in police station - violated continuously 5 times) mentioned in anticipatory bail order. Documentary evidence of such breach was provided.
Now the accused (opposite party for me) has challenged the said order in High Court as a Revision Application filed under Section 397 read with 401 of the CrPC. Can any expert please help in this as I (complainant) need to oppose the grant of any kind of relief to the accused. Kindly provide any judgment mentioning that the High Court can not interfere in such just discretion used by the Sessions Court for cancelling the bail.
Any other relevant input / judgment will also help a lot. Thank you.

Syrians say scud missile left massive crater in Aleppo
Monday, February 18, 2013 - 01:34
Feb 18 - UN investigator pushed for ''urgent'' action on war crimes in Syria as fighting raged in Aleppo and Damascus. Deborah Gembara reports.
▲ Hide Transcript
▶ View Transcript
A crater locals say was the result of a scud missile attack in Aleppo, in this latest video posted to a social media website whose content Reuters cannot indepedently verify. In Damascus, the fighting shows no signs of letting up. Rebel fighters are working to drive the army from this military base --- firing on it with tanks they've commandeered. Fighter jets soared over the capital--- pounding the rebel neighborhood of Daraya into a heap of rubble.
In Geneva, UN investigators pushed for the the body to refer war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
SOUNDBITE: U.N. Investigator Carla Del Ponte saying:
"It's time to react now. After two years, it's incredible that the Security Council don't take a decision and I am much more explicitly than Paolo (Pinheiro), I would say a referral of justice must be imminent, urgent, because crimes are continuing committed in Syria and the number of victims are increasing day to day, so justice must be done."
Investigators say they've identified high level Syrians they believe are responsible for war crimes. The report, say Del Ponte, is based on more than 445 interviews. It also comes as the death toll in Syria approaches 70,000 people.

The 40th anniversary of Star Wars dominated Star Wars Celebration Orlando this month. In fact, a celebration of 40 years kicked off the convention. George Lucas, Warwick Davis, Mark Hamill, Hayden Christensen, Harrison Ford and many others recounted the history of Star Wars from 1977 to the present and began the conversation from the Galaxy Stage. Naturally, this lead to many conversations about the best and favorite Star Wars moments from the past 40 years. One of my most favorite moments was the release of the Star Wars: Special Editions. I’m certain this is a controversial pick. Many fans hate the changes made to the classic movies. However, I have many reasons for celebrating the 20th anniversary of the special editions. For now, I’ll focus on two, which include a personal reason and a content addition.
A Personal Favorite
The personal reason is simple. I asked my wife to marry me on January 31, 1997. To make a long story short, we were between apartments as we waited for our new place to become available. While we waited, we were staying at my parents’ house. I’ll forever be grateful that my family supported us, but we were short on space and privacy. The move was unexpected at the time. I had recently ordered an engagement ring. It just happened to be ready on, you guessed it, January 31. I hadn’t planned on proposing that day, and we had tickets to the special edition release of A New Hope. There was no way I could go the entire weekend with the ring in my pocket. I had no place to hide it. So, a celebration of the return of Star Wars also became a celebration of our engagement as well.
When it comes to content additions, the changes from the special editions resonate differently for many fans. Some dislike the changes. Among the reasons listed are a perceived bloating of the movies with additional special effects, interference with nostalgia, and story changes (e.g. Han no longer shoots first). As for myself, I like the changes overall to A New Hope. I could have done without Han shooting second. I liked the addition of Jabba the Hutt to the film by inserting previously cut footage enhanced with computer effects. Although, Han stepping on his tail seemed a little clumsy. The additions to Mos Eisley and the Battle of Yavin were welcome enhancements to me that brought A New Hope up to par visually with the prequels that would follow a few years later.
Boba Fett in the Special Editions
Speaking of the prequels, that brings me to perhaps one of my most favorite content additions. Jabba the Hutt wasn’t the only classic character added to the scene in Docking Bay 94. The special editions added the most famous bounty hunter in the galaxy too. Boba Fett acts as another piece of Jabba’s muscle among a gang of ruffians surrounding the Millennium Falcon. I’m fond of this addition for a couple of reasons.
Prior to the release of the special editions, Boba Fett was only present for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. However, he had a reputation, perhaps from the expanded universe, as being one of Jabba’s most favored enforcers and bounty hunters. Therefore, his inclusion in the Docking Bay 94 confrontation made sense. He is also one of the coolest looking characters in a cast of cool looking characters in Star Wars. Despite that, he gets precious little screen time in the second and third movies of the trilogy.
When the special edition of A New Hope debuted, fans only had the original trilogy. Boba Fett was cool because of his look and his mystique. Nobody knew too much that was official about him. When he appeared on the screen, and then nodded to the camera as Jabba and his henchmen left the hangar, it was a fun cameo. Boba Fett was back! His presence was just enough to excite fans without dispelling the intrigue around the character. It worked for the time.
The Special Editions Influence on the Prequels
Then George Lucas released the prequel trilogy. Attack of the Clones included an even earlier appearance of Boba Fett. Of course, he was the clone and “son” of Jango Fett. Many considered Jango the best bounty hunter in the galaxy for his time. Boba was merely a child during Attack of the Clones. Unfortunately for Jango, he met his demise by the electrum lightsaber of Mace Windu. The last image of Boba Fett came after the arena duel as he crouched down while clutching his father’s helmet to his head.
Consider the Star Wars saga in episode order. If you viewed each movie in that order, and knew nothing of the events of the subsequent movies, what would you think upon seeing Boba Fett in the special edition of A New Hope? For one, you couldn’t be certain that was Boba Fett. It is a guy in Mandalorian armor similar but not identical to Jango’s armor. The color scheme is different and pieces are missing. You might suspect that it was Boba Fett, but you couldn’t be certain (we’ll leave The Clone Wars out of this for now). He isn’t named in the film. Wouldn’t this have been something that piqued your curiosity for later films? If the movies had been released in episode order, I believe that is one of the plot points fans would have pondered for three years between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
The Impact of the Special Editions
Whether fans now like the special editions or not, they reignited the Star Wars fanbase back in 1997. Although then still popular, Star Wars was emerging from a dark period. The special editions gave fans a chance to relive Star Wars on the big screen, and as the Coffee with Kenobi introductions says, it gave many fans a chance to see Star Wars on the big screen for the first time. In addition, the special editions signaled to Lucasfilm that people wanted more Star Wars. I have both my personal and artistic reasons for including the special editions among my favorite moments.

Lakeland, FL Homeowners Insurance
Are you searching for Lakeland, FL home insurance coverage that you won’t have problems paying for but still give you adequate protection? We can help you find what you need by providing you with a list of the best insurance providers for your area. Just type in your Zip Code at the top of this page and you will get you a list of the best agencies and carriers for your Polk county.Aside from comparing multiple quotes and packages from different insurance providers, there are many other ways on how you trim your overall homeowners insurance costs. One of these is to know exactly what your policy will cover.
Understanding the ins and outs of your policy
Majority of standard homeowners insurance policies provide coverage for four components. These include the following:
- The home’s structure
- Personal belongings in the home
- Liability protection
- Additional living expenses (ALE) in case an included peril renders the insured home uninhabitable
Note that almost all insurance companies also base their policies on the same list of named perils as follows:
- Fire and lightning
- Windstorms and hail
- Riots and civil commotion
- Vandalism and malicious mischief
- Glass that is part of the home
- Volcanic eruptions.
- Falling objects
- Weight of ice, snow or sleet
- Accidental discharge or overflow of water or stream from within plumbing or related systems; does not include discharge or overflow of water from a sump.
- Sudden and accidental rupture of a heating, air conditioning, fire protective sprinkler, or hot water heating system
- Freezing of plumbing or related systems
- Sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electrical current
It’s vital you keep this in mind, as not all homeowners insurance in Lakeland, Florida provide coverage for all of them.
A standard home insurance policy will pay to cover the costs of repairing or rebuilding your home’s structural components in the event that any insured disaster damages or destroys it. Whether you’ll get coverage or not again depends on the type of home insurance you have. However, if you purchased the HO-2 policy, it will provide coverage for all the 17 above-mentioned perils.
Keep in mind that most policies don’t pay for flood- or earthquake-caused damages, as well as those that occur due to regular wearing and tearing. You’d have to purchase separate coverages for these.
The general rule of thumb to follow is to purchase coverage with an amount equal to the average cost of rebuilding your home.
In most cases, the coverage amount for personal belongings is about 50 to 70 per cent of the insurance on the home’s structure. However, to make sure that you’ll receive sufficient coverage for your valuables, you should perform a thorough home inventory. This way, you won’t miss items of significant value and forget to consider their cost when calculating how much coverage to purchase.
This protects you in case someone files a lawsuit against you for bodily injury or property damage. It also provides coverage for damages caused by your pets.
Your Lakeland, FL homeowners insurance " specifically its liability portion " will cover not just the cost of defending you, but also court awards and penalties that may arise. There is a limit though, so make sure you review your policy to find out how much this is.
Additional living expenses (ALE)Natural disasters and crimes can leave your home temporarily uninhabitable. Because of health and safety dangers, you would have to live someplace else. Without home insurance, this means potentially and unnecessary high out-of-pocket expenses.
With a Lakeland, FL home insurance policy, on the other hand, you have less to worry about when you need to live away from your home for a short period of time. As long as the cause of the damages were one of the included perils in your coverage, this portion of your policy will cover the additional costs of temporarily moving out of your place.
Underbuying or overbuying homeowners insurance can cost you a lot, so it pays to know exactly what you’ll receive coverage for, so you take the necessary actions (like buying flood or earthquake insurance).

Last April 20 the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published an on-line article entitled “Short-term and Long-term Health Risks of Nuclear-Power-Plant Accidents” by Dr. Eli Glatstein and five other authors. The article was riddled with distortions and misinformation, and overall was very poor research. As the NEJM is a peer reviewed journal and has a significant letters section, I wrote a letter pointing out some of the errors committed by the authors, and a longer piece containing a comprehensive critique.
The NEJM demands that letters to the journal contain material that has not been submitted or published elsewhere, so I had to refrain from submitting my longer piece anywhere until the NEMJ made a decision on my letter. When my letter did not appear after a couple of weeks I inquired, and was told that the article would soon appear in the printed version of the Journal, and that no letters about the article could be published until after the print version came out. The printed version finally appeared on June 16.
However, on July 1,1 was notified by the NEMJ that they would not publish my letter due to “space constraints.” The four letters that they did publish in response to the article were at most only mildly critical and missed the glaring short-comings of the report. In other words, NEMJ sat on my letter and effectively stifled my critique of what can only be described as industry propaganda for almost three months until public attention had moved on to other matters. However, with attention once again focused on the still-out of control Fukushima reactors on the first anniversary of the accident, my expose on how the media and academia have joined together to downplay the dangers of nuclear power is a poignant as ever.

STARLINER MEREDIA — After attacking fellow cruise passengers a murderous author was apprehended by Starfleet crew.
Following attacks on several popular murder mystery authors on board the luxury Starliner Meredia, the crew of StarBase 118 launched a full investigation into the crimes. With two authors dead and two more in critical condition, the remaining cruise passengers were moved to their quarters as the cruise ship was searched for evidence. However the murderer had tampered with the holographic core of the ship causing the Meredia’s interior to keep changing through different cruise themes and covering the murderer’s escape. While Lt. Commander Hael worked to fix the holo core, teams from across the ship started to look for Ms. Ardel, an eye witness who was acting suspicious.
At the same time Lt. Commander Trel’lis and Lieutenant Kasun were working with Federation investigator Jian Kuan Yuen to uncover an illegal animal smuggling ring run by the Pelian trader Mersian Dels. At first they believed that Dels was also behind the murders but there was no evidence to connect him to anything beyond illegal animal trade. Suspicion heavily fell on the missing Ms. Ardel.
Ms. Ardel’s plans for escape were thwarted by Captain Taybrim and Ensign Lyndsay who cornered her and forced a confession. She was quickly apprehended by security as Starfleet teams worked to correct the computer malfunctions and return the Starliner Meredia to full operational order.
“You should have seen it!” catering assistant Havnek Joahn commented to reporters. “She was seriously riding this gigantic holographic wolf and yelling about how she was the best author and all these people had stolen her work. If it wasn’t for those Starfleet officers she might have gotten away with it, too!”
After all was settled on the Starliner Meredia the crew of StarBase 118 returned for a well deserved rest, welcoming on board new security officer ensign Braddock and enjoying some downtime.

A FARM near Busselton has become the first in Western Australia to install a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Energy Storage System, or CellCube, on its property.
The storage system, which was constructed by German company GILDEMEISTER and installed by Perth-based company VSUN Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Australian Vanadium Limited), provides reliable three-phase power to the farm through solar power panels and a vanadium battery designed to last up to 20 years.
Australian Vanadium Limited managing director Vincent Algar said CellCube was able to store a clean, zero-emission, fast energy supply through the use of vanadium redox flow technology.
“Vanadium flow batteries can store large amounts of solar and wind power, and they are a perfect option for many off-grid farming operations, particularly in the more remote parts of WA,” he said.
“This includes the ability to time-shift up to 10 hours of power usage, by storing renewable energy from the solar PV system for later use.”
Mr Algar said many WA farmers would find installing a vanadium battery and solar panels system to be cheaper than connecting to the grid or running diesel generators.
“A lot of people in rural settings like to use three-phase power to run their pumps and some of their welding devices, but in order to do that they need to have a three-phase powerline, and that’s only really available when you are close to town,” he said.
“The capital cost to increase that three-phase line is in the millions, especially if you are further away from town.
“These storage devices can provide a lot of extra storage for day and night power, and can also deliver three-phase power from it.”
Farm owners Ian and Lucy Stuart, who operate a small tree nursery, said the CellCube allowed their property to still be connected to the grid while allowing them to generate the extra power needed to run the farm’s operations.
“It makes a lot of sense for people like us, who are on the fringe of the urban areas where the powerlines are not necessarily carrying three-phase,” Mr Stuart said.
“[The CellCube] will deliver power for the entire farm without us needing to then extend grid power to the house, so it's starting to look cost-effective from that point of view,” Mrs Stuart said.
“There are often interruptions to the power supply in rural areas and installing a vanadium battery will allow us to use appliances with a heavy draw-down, without having to time our usage around off-peak hours.
“Theoretically, we hope to be 90 per cent self-sufficient with our power.”
The couple said they were committed to sustainable, clean energy and found it important to set up an alternative power supply to diesel.
“Diesel is only going to get more expensive anyway, and we wanted clean energy that's sustainable,” Mrs Stuart said.
“Obviously solar power is not new, but being able to trap that and hold it chemically, which is what these vanadium batteries can do, is a huge asset.”

Lincoln's entertainment facilities aren't cutting it; this according to a report released Thursday by city business leaders who say we need a new convention center and arena.
With all of the big entertainment acts Omaha's Qwest Center is getting, area business leaders believe Lincoln should be able to compete for those attractions.
The Pershing Auditorium is said to be inadequate in size and set up. Business leaders say the city is losing business because it can't attract sizeable events to meet the needs of Lincoln's residents.
Pershing Auditorium's Tom Lorenz says, "There is a piece of that to be had for Lincoln. If we don't do something soon, we'll miss out on that."
The study was conducted by "Convention Sports & Leisure".
City business leaders are expecting another report in June, which should detail the cost and possible locations for new arena.

Pico, crowdsourced photography
lean start-up, user experience, user interface, design thinking, branding
A personal project, Pico was a website that facilitated the crowdsourcing of stock photography. As an art director, I found myself constantly searching for authentic, sometimes imperfect photography. With the rise of instagram I felt there could be a opportunity to leverage thousands of photos and ready photographers. Pico tried to facilitate the relationship between creatives and emerging photographers.
After interviewing more creatives, we created user profiles and journeys. Using Lean Start-up methodology we made a low fidelity, minimum viable, prototype which we validated as a proof of concept. From there, we were successful in fundraising to launch a beta version of the site in 2014.
Pico was alive for a year. Ultimately, we lost steam but the process and experience was a tremendous learning opportunity.

The Cox-Arquette era is definitely over.
That's what Arquette, 40, insisted during a Tuesday appearance on "The Howard Stern Show." The actor and recent "Dancing With the Stars" contestant insisted to Stern that he and Cox, 47, who share daughter Coco, 7, are past the point of getting back together.
Arquette is now dating "Entertainment Tonight" reporter Christina McLarty. Stern asked him, "If Courteney said to you, 'David, I made a mistake. I want to work on our marriage. I want you moving back into the house. I want you to break up with that girl. I know we have to do this for our daughter.' Would you consider it?"
Replied Arquette, "Uh, I mean, no."

That's not to say that there isn't plenty of love between the pair, who were married for 11 years before splitting in October 2010. When he told Cox that he was in love with McLarty, it was very emotional.
"She was sad; we were both sad. We both cried," he said.
Arquette has famously overshared with Stern about his marital problems -- even admitting to a mental breakdown on air -- but told Stern he endeavors to have fewer TMI moments going forward.
"I'm trying to keep my personal life personal," the "Scream 4" actor said. "It's very hard for me because I'm a very honest person."

SHERIDAN — Concerns about traffic and the location of a proposed Big Horn community center were addressed at the Sheridan County School District 1 Recreation District public meeting last night.
Approximately 20 people attended the meeting. Some community members said they were worried that the center would be located on a busy highway at the proposed location just past the Big Horn Y. The recreation board said the Wyoming Department of Transportation surveyed the area and showed that traffic should not be a problem for the facility.
The other major concern expressed during Wednesday’s meeting was the location.
Neighbors said they are not opposed to having a community center, but they would rather have it in Big Horn instead of on the outskirts of the community.
They said they don’t want it in their backyards, but rather in town.
The Recreation District Board reminded meeting attendees that the district does not own the property next to the Big Horn schools and the organization is separate from the school district. Recreation District board members said they will not be able to increase taxes in order to fund the building. They plan to use insurance money that was obtained when the bus barn formerly located on the property burned down.
Plans for the property include a community center along with soccer fields and basketball courts. The building itself would have an exercise room, kitchen and rooms to hold programs. The board said they hoped the facility could provide space for teaching programs and extra curricular activities. The board also proposed to have the school district’s new preschool moved to the community center.
The board recently sent surveys to neighbors in an effort to gather feedback on what types of programs are needed and overall thoughts about the proposed facility. Board members said they have collected 220 surveys and will put the results of the surveys on the school district’s website.
The board also discussed their obligation to provide programming on both the Tongue River and Big Horn sides of the district. Right now, the Tongue River Valley Community Center serves the northern portion of the district, but no mechanism is in place to provide similar programs on the Big Horn side.
Recreation District Board members have said they started discussions with the Sheridan YMCA with the hopes the nonprofit could provide programming and potentially even run the community center for the Recreation District.

How to make light bulb decorations
These light bulb decorations are perfect for Christmas. Glamorous and easy to make. Find a burnt out light bulb or 2 lying around. Grab them, some spray paint and let’s get upcycling!
Prep your lace by cutting a piece to a workable size and taping it tightly to your light bulb. Be sure to also cover the remaining parts of the bulb so they do not get spray paint on them.
The sprayed light bulb will look like this. Once completely dry move the lace to the next unsprayed bit of bulb and repeat the process.
We recommend alternating between 2 bulbs so that you can prep one while the other is drying.
There is also the option to do a mesh design on your light bulb decorations instead of lace. To do this encase your light bulb in mesh and tape tightly at the base. Spray and allow to dry.
Once you’ve finished spraying the glass section of the light bulbs, cover the decorated glass section and spray the light bulb bases. Allow to completely dry.
Finally add the string hanging loops. Fold a piece of silver string into a loop and then tie a knot. Secure this knot to the bottom of your light bulb decorations with a hot glue gun.
- Light bulbs
- Silver spray paint
- Masking tape
- Protective gloves and mask

'The Americans': Was the series premiere worth watching?(Read article summary)
'The Americans' follows two KGB agents posing as a married couple in suburban America in the 1980s. 'The Americans' stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys.
There was an excellent scene in season 2 of Homeland where the characters played by Mandy Patinkin and F. Murray Abraham reminisced briefly about what the intelligence game was like during the Cold War. There was a wistful glint in their eyes as they almost fondly remembered their adversaries and the art of brinkmanship that both the United States and the Soviets engaged in time and again.
In essence, the pair romanticized a period filled with a different kind of paranoia and anxiety than exists today. In FX’s newest drama The Americans, the basic premise takes the audience back to the Cold War with a storyline focusing on two KGB spies who are posing as an average American married couple with kids in early-1980s Washington, D.C. And although this particular milieu is dripping with the same kind of us versus them gamesmanship that Patinkin and Abraham’s characters were remembering, this superlative and exciting pilot is far from a simple trip down memory lane.
Like any good pilot, the episode diligently sets up the series’ framework – which is comprised of several elements that make cable television so popular and successful right now. First and foremost, The Americans has the benefit of being a period drama (still a plus by most networks’ standards), but this series, unlike many period drams, is driven by more than simply having the right attire and casually making mention of events happening at the time. Instead, with Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys playing Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings, respectively, the plot deftly splits its time between the couple’s increasingly dangerous spy games and their otherwise prosaic existence as a family in the suburbs.

You should then transition to a normalized set of macros. While keto dieting can be good for short term fat loss, it’s important that it not brainwash you into thinking that certain foods or macros are “bad”. Eating a balanced diet with an understanding of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is the healthiest way to eat and the most sustainable way to lose weight long term.
In my food shopping we save about $40 a week even though we eat seafood twice a week. A fillet of salmon or swordfish that feeds two is about the same price of the cut of steak that I would grill for myself. Preparing snacks on Sunday night also means no more trips to the office vending machine for that late-day snack. “I joked around with a couple of colleagues last week in my presentation,” Susan mentioned. “I said, ‘You know, we’re paying for diabetes, we’re paying for high blood pressure. Why not invest your money and diet in food sources that are good for you body?'”
For those who want to follow a ketogenic-type diet, Dr. Reynolds says it is important to first talk to your doctor and to discuss your goals so you can be sure that this approach is suitable for you given your medical and health history. Ongoing monitoring is needed if you do decide to adopt this very carb approach to eating. Seeing your doctor regularly is important to make sure that your blood pressure, lipids, blood sugar, mood, and medications are within normal ranges as you lose weight. Adjustments are likely going to be necessary from time to time.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: fat is your friend! To be more specific, healthy fats will be your weight loss friends. Consider adding extra virgin olive oil to your diet and you might see the scale start to tip in your favor. One Journal of Women’s Health study discovered that an EVOO-enriched diet helped participants lose more weight than those on a low-fat diet. Like peanuts and avocados, extra virgin olive oil’s belly-blasting abilities are thought to be a result of the monounsaturated fats it contains.
These affect your brain and spine, as well as the nerves that link them together. Epilepsy is one, but others may be helped by a ketogenic diet as well, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and sleep disorders. Scientists aren’t sure why, but it may be that the ketones your body makes when it breaks down fat for energy help protect your brain cells from damage.
There are many ways in which epilepsy occurs. Examples of pathological physiology include: unusual excitatory connections within the neuronal network of the brain; abnormal neuron structure leading to altered current flow; decreased inhibitory neurotransmitter synthesis; ineffective receptors for inhibitory neurotransmitters; insufficient breakdown of excitatory neurotransmitters leading to excess; immature synapse development; and impaired function of ionic channels.
At the first visit, participants were instructed how to follow the LCKD as individuals or in small groups, with an initial goal of ≤20 g carbohydrate per day. Participants were taught the specific types and amounts of foods they could eat, as well as foods to avoid. Initially, participants were allowed unlimited amounts of meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, and eggs; 2 cups of salad vegetables per day; 1 cup of low-carbohydrate vegetables per day; 4 ounces of hard cheese; and limited amounts of cream, avocado, olives, and lemon juice. Fats and oils were not restricted except that intake of trans fats was to be minimized. Participants were provided a 3-page handout and a handbook  detailing these recommendations. Participants prepared or bought all of their own meals and snacks following these guidelines.

Agarose coupling kits, HOOK™Lieferant: G-Biosciences
786-063EA 866 EUR786-063 786-066
Agarose coupling kits, HOOK™
Protein-Aufbereitungs Protein Purification Kits
This kit utilises our HOOK™ Activated Agarose (Amine) that has reactive aldehyde groups. The aldehyde groups of the agarose react spontaneously with primary amines, located at the N-terminus of proteins or in lysine residues, to form intermediate Schiff Base complexes. These, in turn, are selectively reduced by the supplied reduction agent. Following quenching of the reaction the protein or peptide is linked to the agarose by stable amine linkage. The resin can now be aliquoted into the supplied columns for use in purification and interation studies.
In addition to all the coupling reagents, the HOOK™ Agarose Coupling Kit is supplied with a specific Optimizer Buffer™ that provides the optimal coupling conditions and can be used to equilibrate your starting protein sample.
This kit is suitable for the preparation of 5 stable columns containing 2 ml resin.

Vijay Sethupathi is one of those few stars who don’t let stardom take its toll in their growth as actors. He has found a perfect balance in choosing the scripts that are commercial yet rich in content. He has proved his acting mettle across various genres, be it playing an aspiring rowdy in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, a tough cop in Sethupathi, a journalist in Kavan or a gangster in the recent blockbuster Vikram Vedha. He was recently in the news for the first look of Super Deluxe where he is playing a trans-woman. Clearly, he has an interesting line-up of movies and we are going to talk about one such movie titled Karuppan.
The Karuppan teaser has clearly indicated that the movie will draw our attention to Jallikattu, the popular traditional sport of Tamil Nadu. There are visuals, where Vijay Sethupathi is seen taming a bull, which have gone viral among the Tamil audience. There were several reports stating that the movie is based on the Jallikattu row which happened earlier this year. But when these reports started spurring controversies, the director R. Panneer Selvam made an official statement that the movie went on the floors much before the Jallikattu protests. The movie is about Tamil culture and Jallikattu is just a part of it.
In the teaser, we also get a glimpse of Bobby Simha who will be seen as an antagonist. It will be a bliss for the audience to see both Vijay and Bobby as their chemistry in Soodhu Kavvum and Iraivi was very much appreciated. The music by D. Imman has already received a thumbs-up from music lovers. Tanya Ravichandran will be playing the female lead. The film is bankrolled by celebrated filmmaker A. M. Rathnam. The film is all set for a release on 29th September and we will surely be watching it FDFS. Stay tuned for our review of Karuppan and don't forget to book your tickets! Those who haven’t watched the teaser yet, here it is.


The ROUND luminaire family blends into every environment. Three diameter options and a balanced color selection either create a strong statement or illuminate discreetly. For additional highlights, indirect lighting can be added to the luminaire. A “shadow gap” towards the ceiling suggests a suspended appearance, and creates a decorative effect.
Optics with outstanding performance of up to 128 lm/W
ROUND achieves an exceptional luminous efficacy of up to 124 lm/W. Low energization leads to a low operating temperature for the LEDs and therefore to an outstanding efficiency. The highly reflective PCB coating provides 90 % reflectivity while the high performance opal cover ensures completely homogeneous illumination.
One simple click
Mounting and electrical connection with one click
The mounting plate is screwed directly to the ceiling and connects electrically with very little effort. A simple latch attaches the luminaire to its mounting bracket. The lamp body slides onto the mounting plate and locks in securely with a simple click. Thanks to this patentable mechanism, an electrical connection is established instantly. The luminaire in turn does not need to be opened at the job site which protects the LED circuit board by preventing dirt from entering and ESD shock to damage individual LEDs. This minimizes installation and maintenance costs, especially for larger projects.
Sophisticated in design with perfect round edges. Easy one-click installation system with a lean aluminum profile. Laterally coupled light enables a remarkable height of only 2 ½ inches. ROUND has ultra-slim housing unit, cutting edge design, and easy install making it perfect for any space.

In a word, the design philosophy behind Fluid Audio monitors is optimization - as some like to say "solving problems". As an Engineer, you are always constrained somewhat by a price point you are trying to hit. Our idea is to take each part of the monitor, and see how good we can make it for a given price level. Where we think we've succeeded in optimization is in the amplifier, port tube and tweeter wave guide - but most dramatically in the voicing (or sound quality).
The studio monitor, like any speaker, is meant to reproduce the entire landscape of the recording (in all 3 dimensions). Fluid prides itself on the importance of speaker imaging - or how the speaker presents a realistic soundstage. When you close your eyes and listen to a pair of speakers, you don't want to hear two boxes with speakers in them. You want to be transported to the recording, where you can pinpoint exactly where each musician and instrument is on the "stage". As a recording or mixing Engineer, you want the same in reverse - to be able to place each instrument where you want it to be in the mix.

MOSCOW, February 1 (Itar-Tass) – Moscow’s police have detained more than 100 fans after an ice hockey match at the TsSKA stadium on Friday, a spokesman for the Moscow police department reported.
“At about 22:00 Moscow time on Friday, a group of aggressively-disposed fans stages a provocation after a hockey match at the TsSKA stadium in Leningradsky Anevue. They threw stones and bottles at police officers,” the spokesman said.
According to the spokesman, several policemen were injured. One was hospitalized with a head injury.
“More than 100 hooligans were detained. They will be taken to police stations to be brought to administrative liability,” the spokesman said and added that a criminal case might be opened on charges of using force against police (article 318 of the Russian Criminal Code).

What are your favourite winter activities? In Northeastern Ontario, many people will typically name frosty pleasures like skiing, snow-shoeing, snowmobiling and ice fishing. For some reason, few ever mention winter bird watching. That’s a shame because winter is an especially good time of the year to see some of the most amazing and beautiful feathered creatures on the planet! Nature even throws in a few bonus perks to make up for the chilly temperatures.
Even before the snow falls, wild creatures become easier to spot against a forest landscape because the leaves of many trees and shrubs have fallen away. Once the thermometer dips below zero, silence also descends in the wilderness. Experienced bird watchers learn to use their ears as much as their eyes. The sound of a woodpecker drumming on a hollow stump, or of a spruce grouse feeding in the upper branches of a coniferous tree can carry for hundreds of metres in a silent winter forest.
More than 60 species of birds call the Ontario winter wilderness home. They range from mighty eagles to tiny songbirds. Each has found their own unique way to cope with the season’s scarcity of food and constant low temperatures.
Meet Canada’s Bird, the Gray jay
During the warmer months, gray jays store tens of thousands of bugs, bits of carrion, fruits and seeds around their territory. This decentralized food cache not only gets them through the worst days of winter, it also allows them to get a jump on the nesting season by enabling them to hatch their offspring in March and April while snow is still on the ground. They have been known to lay eggs in minus 30-degree temperatures.
Like their close relatives, ravens, crows and blue jays, gray jay’s live in multi-generational clans. The feeding of the young is often assisted by at least one juvenile bird from an earlier nesting season. This extra set of eyes and wings give gray jays yet one more advantage over rival species.
Gray jays are also known as Whisky Jacks. The latter name is an adaptation of the indigenous Algonquin word, wisakedjak, which meant trickster. Gray jays have been known to steal food off a camper’s plate or even out of a frying pan set over a camp stove. For this reason, the gray jay is also known as the Camp Robber. In recognition of its intelligence and ability to survive in extreme winter conditions the gray jay was recently named Canada’s national bird by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
The Regal Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is a true snowbird because North America’s boreal forest is a snowy’s idea of Florida. All snowy owls are arctic-born. They begin life in a ground nest on the Canadian tundra during the endless sunlight of the Arctic summer.
When they are old enough to leave the nest, they fly south to hunt and mature. Because they were born and raised in 24-hour sunlight, snowy owls have adapted to day hunting unlike most of their nocturnal cousins like the barred and great horned owl. Snowy owls have developed extraordinary senses of vision and hearing that enables them to detect and catch small mammals like mice and lemmings even if they are hidden under several centimetres of snow.
The Humble, but Friendly Chickadee
For me, the true ambassador of the winter woods is the humble black-capped chickadee. There are more impressive looking birds in the northern woods like the wild turkey or the pileated woodpecker. There are also flashier birds like the purple finch or the pine grosbeak. But no other species can compete with the humble little chickadee for sheer personality. You do not have to go looking for chickadees, they will find you!
Walk along any trail in the Ontario wilderness and you will soon encounter the cheeky little fluffballs who will flit from branch to branch just metres in in front of you, greeting you with their distinctive song “Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!” They are the one species of wild bird that actually seems to seek out and enjoy human company. Their cheerful presence, in even the most adverse weather, is a perfect boost for the spirit.
A Bird Watcher’s Paradise
With its abundance of woodland trails, Northeastern Ontario is one big bird watching paradise, but some spots are better than others.
For a wild winter bird watching emersion experience, visit the Canadian Ecology Centre just off of Highway 17, near Mattawa. Book in advance to arrange overnight accommodation and take advantage of their many nature programs and events scheduled throughout the year. Day trips are free – just drive in through the front gate and pick a nature trail to hike, ski or snowshoe.
If you’re hoping to see a bald eagle, the CEC is one of your better than average bets – as long as wolves don’t make you nervous. Wolves are the natural predator of deer and the carcasses they leave behind in the park become magnets for bald eagles, ravens, and other scavenger feeders. Carry on, carrion birdwatchers!
If you’re planning a trip to North Bay, there is a bird sanctuary called Laurier Woods Conservation Area. More than 10 kilometers of trails wind around the 240 acres of wetlands and forest. As you walk these trails it is hard to believe you are within city limits. Click here for directions and a trail map.

The New Hartford Public Schools Board of Ed met on Tuesday, March 22, immediately following its Long-Range Planning Committee’s meeting. Among their agenda items for the meeting, the Board members discussed their proposed 2012-2013 budget and reviewed several policies including their Bully policy.
In the last minute or so of the meeting, Bryan Keilty, Chairman of the Board, gave the full Board an update from the Long-Range Planning Committee’s meeting earlier that evening. That Committee, Bryan said, was going to set up a joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance to get their input and to put a cooperative procedure in place that they would all be comfortable with for the closure of Bakerville School. With none of the regular Board members having any questions regarding the update Bryan had provided, the Board meeting was brought to an end.
To watch the video of the Long-Range Committee’s meeting earlier that evening when the consolidation of the schools was discussed, see our March 26 article Consolidation of New Hartford Elementary Schools Under Consideration…
