Friday and Saturday at 9 P.M. we have Jeremy Steding & the Rebellion. Vintage Inspired Texas Country Music from Austin, TX. Jeremy Steding’s fourth studio album, My Own American Dream, travels the highways, honky tonks and pubs of the world. Immediately, you’re hooked into the rhythmic romance of “Stay.” You’ll want to. Steding’s songs, vocals and band are better than ever. Enhanced by the tasteful production of Chris Gill and super-musicianship of Lloyd Maines and Tim Crouch, this album is a fun journey to take!
Jeremy Steding was raised, in a musical family, on the jingle jangle of The Byrds, the stories of John Prine and the rhythms of Buddy Holly. These influences blend pleasantly in the catchy tale of reconciliation, “Love Love Love.” A fan of Guy Clark, Steding also has a knack for painting bittersweet pictures, as displayed on “Arkansas Rain” and “Walker County Fair.”
Jeremy was turned on to independent Texas/Red Dirt Music while attending the University of Florida. Long a fan of Willie and Waylon, he was now also a fan of Cory Morrow and Robert Earl Keen. “The Story,” nostalgically pays homage to Keen’s “Feeling Good Again.”
An Austin local since ‘07, Steding is now an international touring artist and a staple in the TXRD scene. He draws inspiration from contemporaries such as: The Turnpike Troubadours and national acts such as The Zac Brown Band. The dance halls are a second home. The autobiographical title track, invites you in for some two-stepping. When you’re almost danced- out the Irish-inspired “Four Hour Gig” will bring you back up!
My Own American Dream is Jeremy Steding’s best work yet. Six years of pavement, pens, paper, triumphs and heartaches are paying dividends. The debut single, “Lyin’,” was his first top 20 hit on the Texas Charts, and certainly not the last. Look for Jeremy and his band, The Rebellion, to start seeing more and more dreams come true!
Thursday 7/14 at 9 P.M. we have The Souveneers
Hailing from the Missouri River Valley, and drawing on the rich musical
heritage of Kansas City, THE SOUVENEERS are an original 5-piece
roots/Americana act that will set your dusty boots on fire.
The sound is reminiscent of 50’s Honky Tonk and Rockabilly, but with enough
Folk sensibility to sound more like a backroad in Texas than a Nashville
high-rise on Music Row.
Great songwriting shines through well-matched voices and impressive pickin’
to make THE SOUVENEERS much more than a mimic of nostalgic sounds. This
band’s unique and progressive take on the music they love, will break apart
any preconceived notions you may have about the terms “twang”, “Honkytonk”,
Releasing their debut album in 2014 through Little Class Records(KCMO), THE
SOUVENEERS are poised to take the nation by storm with their signature
sound and great live shows.
July 17th & 18th
The Fabulous Boogienauts are a ten piece all-original power disco funk ensemble from the deep recesses of space. Hailing from the planet Boogus Prime in the heart of the Alpha Booty system, we have made Denver Colorado our official home since 1996. We released a studio album this past October 2013. Our new effort 12″ Fully Funktional has been described as a masterpiece of song craft and creativity that calls all who have ears and heartbeats to get up and dance. We are actively performing local and mountain shows and are always looking to find new places to tear up. Come see us live
Formerly Filthy Children
Funk. Soul. Disco. Flashes of city streets, Rocky Mountain peaks, a distant bayou. Lights. Bodies. Sweat. Unrelenting gut-punching rhythm. Ecstatic musical adoration of life. A blooming, buzzing r
oom where beautiful bodies bear funky-witness to the Super Magick dance-party experience! Take it in. Three buttery horns, a smokin female vocalist, drums, bass, guitar, and a smattering of analog synth burbles to fill the spaces. It’s magick; believe it.
Based out of Denver, Colorado, Super Magick (formerly Filthy Children) first hit the stage together in Nov, 2003. Since then, they have been laying it down all over the land, headlining gigs at nearly all of Colorado’s most respected venues and festivals including: Boulder’s The Fox, Aspen’s Belly Up, Steamboat’s Ghost Ranch Saloon and Schmiggities, Winter Park’s Ullr’s, Denver’s Cervantes, The Other Side, Quixote’s, The Bluebird and Gothic Theaters, Ft. Collins’ The Aggie Theater, Hodi’s Half-Note and Mishawaka Ampitheater, The Breckenridge Brew Fest, The Winter Park Beer Fest, The Sunnyside, LoHi and Highland’s Music Festival, South Park Music Festival, The Capitol Hill People’s Fair, as well as a headlining performance’s at Summerfest in Milwaukee two years in a row. Super Magick members have shared the stage with such funky musical luminaries as Galactic, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Rebirth Brass Band, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, J.J. Grey and Mofro, and Pimps of Joytime to name just a few.
Based out of Denver, Colorado, Filthy Children first hit the stage together in Nov, 2003. They recently changed their name to Super Magick. Since then, they have been laying it down all over town, landing regular gigs at nearly all of Colorado’s most respected venues and festivals including: Boulder’s The Fox, Aspen’s Belly Up, Steamboat’s Ghost Ranch Saloon, Denver’s Cervantes, Bluebird and Gothic Theaters, Ft. Collins’ The Aggie Theater, South Park Music Festival, Copper Mountain’s Ride for the Cure, LODO Music Festival, The People’s Fair, as well as a headlining performance at Summerfest in Milwaukee two years in a row.
This funk/jazz/rock septet serves up a funkinetic frenzy of fresh, original, mind moving music; reminiscent of such groove giants as Soulive, Greyboy Allstars, John Scofield, and Deep Banana Blackout. Filthy Children deliver action packed funk that’s sure to be “a big fat kick in the groove” (Colorado Daily).
Their debut EP, Knocked Up, “a force to be reckoned with” according to CDBaby, has been played on over 200 radio stations nationwide and has been chosen to be on multiple reality shows for MTV.
Filthy Children were also in the “On the Rise” section in the September/October 2006 issue of Relix magazine. Additionally, they were named best funk band in Denver’s premier magazine 5280 for 2007 and nominated in Colorado’s favorite alternative newspaper, Westword’s, “Best Of” in the funk category in 2008 & 2009.
Fate has brought this group of filthy, misfit all-stars together. Their large and rapidly growing fan base is a testament to their grand performances and mass appeal.

Bonnie and the Beard is a vivacious group–often quite salacious, lost deeply in dream.
Some say they live in a tent and practice juggling flaming arrows when they are not painting their faces and making moonshine. They spin tales of outlaws, redemption and longing through their own brand of boot-stomping americana gypsy rock.
They’ve shared the stage with the likes of DeVotchka, Nicole Atkins, Oakhurst; played Tour de Fat, Sunnyside Music Festival, several stints at the Underground Music Festival, embarked on several tours and shared the stage with many rising acts from across the nation.
“They deliver their songs with such a charming playful seriousness it’s hard not to get sucked into the fun.”
(Peter Washington, Concerted Effort)
They began playing together after spending a hazy summer writing as the old, dusty cowboys they admired. Wandering through canyons and sharing fireside meals with their wolf dog, their stories of reckless rebels began to pour into rousing and passionate songs. They’re almost a wheelin’ dealin’ circus band. Their raw energy and husky voices conjure up images of open desert road, nights under the stars and rusty Cadillacs.
“Bonnie and the Beard possess a sound that is both sweet and sultry yet still raw and rawkus. Combining a bit of delta blues with indie-rock sensibilities, Bonnie and Beard sing about the struggle of human existence with the pipes to knock the dust off the highest rafters of any smoky bar.”
(Illegal Pete’s / Suburban Home Records)
The Hashtones are an American Reggae/Rock, Denver-based band. Formed in July of 2014, this trio can touch different genres of music and make it their own. Every song served presents a behind-the-scenes view of the success’ and failures of Stephen’s life that is skillfully told. From the trials of personal relationships and the angst of growing up, to the struggles of his friends lives, his home life, and major events taking place around the world today. Their music is a journey through the mind of a conflicted yet compassionate soul. The Hashtones love for life, humanity and good times is brilliantly conveyed and displayed first hand at their over the top high-energy live performances. From big muff shredding guitar solos, to deep rolling waves of bass, to the smooth love of a one drop on a drum kit, this band has a little bit to offer for everyone’s taste and love for music. The band has some of the regions most talented and experienced musicians, and each member just seems to add the right piece to the puzzle behind every song. A band you don’t want to miss if you’re in the Front Range area

Glazed Carrots Marsala
For a real treat of a side dish, try Glazed Carrots Marsala. I first read about this flavor combination in Elizabeth David’s Italian Food. As she suggests, they’re delicious served with lamb. If you don’t have Marsala, sweet sherry is a fine substitute.
1½ pounds carrots (about 8), peeled and-trimmed
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
⅓ cup sweet marsala
About ⅓ cup water
1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)
- Cut each carrot at a sharp angle into ¼”-thick oval slices.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a 10-12” sauté pan. Add carrots (they should be almost in a single layer), sugar, and salt, and swirl the pan over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve and carrots are evenly coated with butter.
- Add marsala, simmer for 3 min., then add enough water to halfway cover the carrots. Bring to a boil, and cover the pan with the lid slightly askew. Cook at a steady boil, shaking the pan occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not soft (a knife should enter a carrot with a little resistance), 6-8 min.
- Uncover and continue to boil until liquid evaporates and forms a syrup. Shake the pan to evenly glaze the carrots. Toss the carrots with parsley, if you like, and serve.

Loyola celebrates grand opening of translational research center
Cancer, public health, cardiovascular, and infectious disease researchers alike showed off their new state-of-the-art labs on April 21, to mark the grand opening of Loyola University Chicago’s Center for Translational Research and Education (CTRE).
The 225,000-square-foot building is the biggest and most complex building in University history, and more than 200 people were on hand to celebrate the start of many translational research discoveries.
“Tonight’s celebration marks an important milestone for our Health Sciences Campus,” said John Pelissero, PhD, interim president of Loyola University Chicago. “The opening of this facility builds upon our reputation as a leader in health care research and education. It also provides our students with the opportunity to work and learn in an inter-professional environment where life-changing discoveries will be made.”
Pelissero was joined by Margaret Faut Callahan, CRNA, PhD, FNAP, FAAN, provost of the Health Sciences Campus, and several other University, Loyola University Health System, and Trinity Health leaders for a ceremonial ribbon cutting on the stage of the auditorium. Father Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., chancellor of Loyola University Chicago, led those present in a prayer and blessing.
“We are called to make a difference as ‘persons for others,’” Callahan said. “The scientists working in this beautiful new building are just that. Each and every day they are working to help others. They are making discoveries that are poised to have a profound effect on people’s lives.”
Richard Pazdur (MD ’79), director of the Office of Oncology Drug Products for the Food and Drug Administration, gave remarks on how far translational research, particularly in the world of oncology treatment, has come since he started his medical career.
“Loyola has a special place in my heart and I have watched the progress of the medical center here in Maywood over the last four decades with a great deal of pride and admiration for the work of the faculty in terms of excellence in patient care, research, and education,” Dr. Pazdur said.
Guests were given tours of the various labs in the CTRE, by researchers who study everything from heart failure to obesity in underserved populations to innovative new cancer drugs. Each floor has study space for students along with a mix of wet labs (where typical test tube and microscope research is done) and dry labs (where more statistical and computational-based research is conducted). The second and fourth floors have open atriums that invite collaboration between labs and scientists.
The CTRE houses more than 500 faculty, staff, and students from the Stritch School of Medicine, The Graduate School, Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, and Loyola University Health Systems.

Lidl’s replacement of Best Market’s presence on Long Island will be complete this month, more than 3½ years after the discount grocer bought most of the supermarkets owned by the Bethpage-based chain.
Lidl will open its 23rd store on Long Island on Aug. 31 in Commack in the Mayfair Shopping Center, which used to have a Best Market.
Lidl spent more than $7 million getting the supermarket ready at 210 E. Jericho Tpke., the grocer said in a statement Monday. The store will employ more than 50 people, Lidl said.
“With regard to the customer reception on the Island, we are seeing growing enthusiasm for our stores. … And our customers in the region continue to grow. We attribute this to our focus on quality, convenience and value and are committed to offering our shoppers on Long Island the best value at our stores every day,” Lidl spokeswoman Chandler Spivey said.
Lidl closed the 60,300-square-foot Best Market in Commack in February 2021 for renovations and conversion to the Lidl name, but later decided to open the new Lidl in a different space in the shopping center. Lidl opted for a smaller space — a 30,000-square-foot unit vacated by off-price department store Stein Mart in 2020.
A German retailer, Lidl entered the Long Island market after it finalized its purchase of 27 stores in New Jersey and New York, including all 24 on Long Island, from Bethpage-based Best Market in January 2019.
Lidl permanently closed several Best Market stores. In addition, Lidl opened three new stores in spaces that had been vacant — in Plainview, Center Moriches and Riverhead.
Lidl operates about 11,550 stores in 32 countries. With its U.S. headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, the retailer has more than 170 stores in nine East Coast states.
Lidl has said it plans to have 50 stores on Long Island by 2029.
The retailer plans to open a store at 450 Commack Rd. in Deer Park, the grocer’s first new-construction store on Long Island, in early 2023.

Having said all that, this is a bold, brash, bloody story in which Andy Remic returns to the world of grimdark fantasy. One story thread catches up with the survivors of the The Dragon Engine, following their war-weary, emotionally exhausted descent into the bowels of Wyrmblood. These are adventurers who suffered greatly in the last book - beatings, torture, and even rape - and it weighs heavily upon them. As depressing as it made those scenes, I admired Remic for not just shrugging off the pain and going all gung-ho with the heroics.
The other story thread catches up with the survivors of The White Towers, drawn into the story when the escaped dragons of Wyrmblood attack the town, interrupting their own bitter infighting. Not surprisingly, the Iron Wolves have some of the best scenes in the novel, although the constant bickering between Dek and Narnok wears a bit thin. Again, Remic deals with the aftermath of heroic deeds, catching our heroes at their lowest, and allowing them the chance to deal with both past and present. There's a lot of bad blood and tainted motives here, but Nanok's suicidal challenges to the dragon are probably the high point of the book.
As for the dragons, they are every bit as fearsome and horrific as you'd expect from Remic. Their attacks upon villages and towns are beautifully choreographed, with equal parts fear and awe on those unlucky enough to be torn apart, chewed in half, roasted alive, or buried beneath rubble. Both angry and clever, they're not only out for revenge, but enjoy verbally baiting their victims. We don't see as much of the dwarves this time around, but they are still mean, miserable, and malicious, with Crayline challenging Skalg for the title of most monstrous. As for Skalg, his story arc was interesting, but I didn't feel the pay off was nearly worthy of his legacy - one place where the story itself faltered for me. Similarly, I thought the Splice were wasted a bit here, especially given the new twist put on them by King Yoon, but it was immensely satisfying to see them take on a dragon.
Despite its flaws, this is still no-holds-barred epic fantasy for a mature audience, with the reappearance of the Iron Wolves definitely kicking it up a notch. There's very clearly a door left open at the end of Twilight of the Dragons, so here's hoping there's one more adventure to come.

The brick building in Hamburg is modern, with clean lines and plenty of windows – the kind of place that would house a tech company. It’s home to HAWESKO, the online retail arm of the Hawesko Group, one of the biggest wine merchants in the world.
“We moved to this new office in August 2017,” says marketing manager Alex Kim. “Before that, our office was located in Tornesch,” a small town 25km north of Hamburg. The move to the city has had a major impact on the business, he says, bringing in an influx of young and digital-savvy employees.
The timing couldn’t be better, because HAWESKO is gearing up for the next digital challenge: to stay at the top of Google rankings.
“The company was started by my father in the basement of a two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Hamburg,” former CEO Alexander Margaritoff told Meininger’s back in 2008. After World War II, Peter Margaritoff became Germany’s biggest manufacturer of women’s stockings. “Unfortunately, he went bust and started Hawesko in 1964.”
It began as a mail order business for spirits but started selling wines in the 1970s. Over time, the charismatic Alexander, who died in 2016, turned it into Germany’s biggest wine business, a publicly listed company. “It was really important for Alexander Margaritoff to build a customer base,” says Kim. “He knew that a strong customer is really worth a lot in the wine business, because you have a high repurchase rate of wine.”
Margaritoff was one of the first to launch a web shop in Germany, in 1996. He called it Winegate because “if it failed, there was no connection to Hawesko,” says Kim. “There was no proven case that you could do a successful e-commerce business.” But the online shop became so successful, it was renamed HAWESKO in the early 2000s.
Margaritoff lost control of Hawesko in 2015 after a hostile takeover bid from fashion entrepreneur Detlev Meyer, and resigned. Today, the Hawesko Group includes HAWESKO, the number one online wine retailer in Germany, plus Jacques’ Wein-Depot; with 285 outlets, it’s Germany’s biggest specialist wine retailer. Wein Wolf, CWD Champagner and Wein-Distributiongesellschaft are wine wholesalers, and there are some smaller online businesses, including Vinos.de, which sells Spanish wines. Last year, the Hawesko Group’s 18 brands made €524.3m, of which €98.8m came from online sales. It also acquired Austria’s WEIN & CO, a company whose bars and stores are a cultural institution.
Kim opens a door to reveal people sat quietly at their desks. “This is The Wine Company, that concentrates on Sweden,” he says. While Sweden is a monopoly market, Swedes can order from overseas wine companies, and get a better price. Hamburg, being geographically close to Scandinavia, is perfectly placed to supply them. (Carl Tesdorpf, Hawesko’s online fine wine business, began as a wine store in Lübeck in 1678, and once supplied the royal courts of Scandinavia and the tsar’s court in St Petersburg.)
Next Kim introduces WirWinzer, acquired three years ago. “It translates to something like ‘We the Wineries’ and the idea is to connect the wineries with the end consumer,” he explains. WirWinzer is a platform where more than 900 German wineries list about 20,000 wines. “The marketplace model is really something we can scale infinitely,” says Kim.
One issue with online selling, faced even by the mighty Amazon, is that wineries struggle to upload the necessary pictures and information. Kim nods. “It’s really a problem,” he says, explaining that the company has two employees who do nothing but sort out the PDFs and files sent in by wineries. But things will get better, because the rising generation of winegrowers is tech savvy and understands the need to communicate.
Then it’s on to the marketing and e-commerce offices. HAWESKO takes an omni-channel marketing approach, producing direct mail, an e-newsletter that goes to 200,000 customers, and a hefty catalogue sent to as many as 400,000 customers twice a year. The marketing team launches specific campaigns, and screens on the wall show when and how consumers react. If too few customers open the newsletters and buy, the offer may be tweaked and sent out in a second newsletter. The more the customer interacts with the system, the more targeted and timely the newsletters become.
“This is very personalised marketing,” says Kim.
The German market
In the boardroom, Kim opens PowerPoint. “Let’s start with the overall premium market in Germany,” he says, defining premium as wines priced above five euros a bottle. The total market is worth €7 billion ($7.7bn), of which about €2bn is premium. The online trade accounts for €400m of premium sales, and is seeing double-digit growth rates, year-on-year. But those online sales, which Kim expects to double in five years, are cannibalising offline sales.
Now there’s a race on to dominate the online wine market. At the moment, HAWESKO, whose portfolio is full of well-known names such as Antinori, Frescobaldi and DBR Lafite, is number one. But new online players have entered the market, backed by private equity, which are not under pressure to earn money in the short term – which means they can engage in price wars. “After five years, they are sold to other investors, so the operating profit is not important for them,” says Kim.
They are not the real challenge, however.
A new digital wave
“The centre of the challenge is not the technical requirements,” says Kim, saying HAWESKO understands home pages, mobile optimisation, website management, apps and newsletters. The big change that’s coming is to the business model. In the past, a company like HAWESKO would have about 500 SKUs in its catalogues and web stores. “We were the ones who talked to our customers, to tell them what to buy.” It was push marketing, where HAWESKO recommended wines. “With the online channel, this business model is completely turning around, because nowadays the consumer is looking for wine.”
But consumers still don’t know a lot about wine, so they put “red wine” into Google. Because Google prioritises sites with a wealth of high-quality content, it will show the consumer the site offering the most red wine information. In order to get to the top of the Google ranking, a company needs to have a wide variety of red wines available.
“The structure of the inventory changes,” says Kim. Instead of offering around 500 wines and storing 50,000 bottles per SKU, HAWESKO now offers around 4,000 wines and holds an average of 10,000 bottles per SKU.
But inventory alone won’t win the Google race, because Google searches for quality content – it wants more than a bottle shot and price listing. The way to rise high is to have both a wide range and in-depth content.
Google also offers price transparency, so there is no chance of getting consumers to pay more for a wine if they can find it cheaper elsewhere. This makes private label and own brands even more important for online retailers, so they can keep their margins intact. HAWESKO currently has about 200 private labels and own brands, representing 40% of its sales.
The changing wine lover
Google has been a major force for years – so why is this such a burning issue right now? The first reason is because of new market entrants. But the consumer is also changing. Premium wine buyers tend to be in their mid-50s and above; older, wealthier, male. Now the first members of Generation X have turned 50, moving them into the prime wine-buying category – and they’re different from Baby Boomers. For a start, they prefer the light, fresh wines of Italy and Germany, leaving classic Bordeaux behind. And they are online buyers, says Kim. “Being prepared for them is like preparing for the digital challenge. It’s the same. You have two different trends that are really aiming at the same challenge.”
Since the online battle will be won by understanding Google, HAWESKO now hires search engine experts to work closely with the wine team.
There are other issues as well. One is that people are living in smaller homes than they used to and have no room for a wine collection. Kim says the average dwelling space in German cities has decreased by more than 20%. “This is reflected in the buying behaviour of our customers,” who are no longer buying 36 bottles at a time – but who can be persuaded to buy smaller amounts more often.
Another challenge is climate change. Sales fell unexpectedly in 2018 because the summer was so long and so hot. “It’s crucial for us that we have strong business in May and September,” says Kim, because those are the months when customers switch from red to white and vice versa. Because the weather stayed warm for so long, the major red wine orders never came – and red wine generally attracts a higher margin. “We have prepared our business for more flexibility,” says Kim. Now, if September temperatures stay high, the team has an alternative marketing campaign ready.
It’s all about the wine
After the presentation, there is a visit to the vast fulfilment warehouse at Tornesch, where Marc Kohnke shows Meininger’s around. There are so many wine boxes stacked into towers, at such length and breadth, that the storage area looks like a city of wine. The warehouse vibe is relaxed, and Kohnke says many of the staff members who are standing at packing stations fulfilling orders have been with the company for years. The most fun part of the warehouse is the cage where the most valuable wines are kept – Opus One, Vérité, Lafite, Petrus. It’s a wine lover’s dream.
One thing is clear – the well-financed start-ups have a fight on their hands. The promise of digital is that anybody can launch an online business and tackle the giants, but it’s not true. HAWESKO has the brands, the longstanding relationships, the depth of inventory and the logistics capacity to stay at the top of the Google rankings.
And Google, for better or for worse, will soon rule the wine market.

Further, the model introduces a cluster interaction mechanism, which enhances the nucleation and growth in the neighborhood of existing clusters. The simulations show that the cluster interaction suppresses the growth asymmetry so that a low coverage deposition yields a compact aggregation of clusters, which occupy both faulted and unfaulted half cells, forming a local cluster array with a honeycomb symmetry. The simulation results are compared with relevant experimental results, and

“Cardiac efficiency describes the relationship between cardiac work, an index of function, and oxygen consumption, an index of energy substrate metabolism. As the heart obtains upwards of 95% of its ATP requirements from oxidative Selleckchem SCH727965 metabolism the choice of energy substrate strongly impacts cardiac efficiency.
The increased utilization of fatty acids relative to glucose as an energy substrate decreases cardiac efficiency. This effect is attributable to differing phosphorous/oxygen ratios of fatty acid and glucose metabolism, increased mitochondrial uncoupling induced by increased rates of fatty acid oxidation, futile cycles engaged by fatty acids and effects of fatty acid use on cardiac ionic homeostasis. Increasing myocardial glucose utilization at the expense of fatty acid utilization can improve cardiac efficiency in various pathophysiologies characterized by an increased reliance on fatty acids as an energy substrate. In this review we present current information regarding the mechanisms contributing to the effects of fatty acids on cardiac efficiency:”
“In this work, we have theoretically investigated the possibility to achieve multifrequency transparency
and cloaking for a cylindrical object by employing a multilayered plasmonic shell. The frequency dispersion of plasmonic material and the size effect of the cylindrical object have been considered. The analytical transparency U0126 inhibitor condition in the quasistatic case has not only been given, an exact numerical calculation based on the Mie scattering theory has also been performed. Our results show that the multifrequency transparency and cloaking for any dielectric or metal cylinder can always be realized by a suitable adjustment of the structure parameter, permittivity, and permeability of the multilayered shell. Such a transparency is not only for a certain polarized wave, it can also be realized for both polarizations of electromagnetic wave at the same time.”

AGLS Board nominations
AGLS Board member responsibilities
The AGLS Board is composed of 10 senior government lawyers from across the Australian Government agencies, plus a standing member from the Attorney General's Department. Membership is limited to one member per Australian Government agency (with the exception of the Attorney-General's Department), unless otherwise agreed.
Since its appointment in November 2020, the AGLS Board has focussed on establishing key governance frameworks that will support the aims of the AGLS for years to come.
This has included developing:
- the AGLS Strategic Plan
- AGLS committee charters and work plans
- the AGLS stakeholder engagement and communications plan.
The strategic plan identifies key AGLS activities and is structured around 3 themes: governance, engagement and professional development.
The board oversees these streams of work, with key contributions and support from several AGLS committees. Nominated board sponsors work closely with the chairs of each committee. The Office of Legal Services Coordination (OLSC) within the Attorney General's Department provides secretariat support to the board.
The board meets at least 4 times per year. Meetings generally occur in Canberra, but as AGLS Board members are geographically diverse, teleconference and audio-visual conference facilities are available.
The board has overseen a range of activities to support government lawyers. These include:
- The very popular Foundational Australian Government Lawyer Training program, which provides training to new government lawyers on the fundamental topics relevant to their work, delivered by senior government lawyers.
- The first test phase of the Australian Government Legal Advice Database has been completed. When fully built, the database will allow government lawyers to benefit from the knowledge and prior work of their colleagues across government. OLSC is leading this project with support from the board.
- Convening a new Legal Risk Committee, which brings together the heads of legal from all departments and a selection of agencies to discuss issues of shared interest.
- The inaugural AGLS Conference held on 14 October 2021. The conference was delivered virtually due to the pandemic, and with 920 registered attendees was an outstanding success. The theme 'DNA of a government lawyer' highlighted the strong bond between technical legal expertise and people skills in modern legal practice.
- The board has developed a heads of legal induction package and strategy to welcome and support lawyers appointed as general counsel for the first time. This is in the process of being made available to heads of legal.
- A Legal Circles Group Mentoring program, which supports the development of government lawyers through small group mentoring.
Becoming an AGLS Board member
The Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department, or their delegate, appoints all board members, based on the advice of OLSC.
Once a year (or at other times as necessary), AGD will seek expressions of interest from senior government lawyers to fill any board vacancies.
As set out in the AGLS Board Terms of Reference, members serve on a volunteer basis.
Membership seeks to reflect cultural, gender and regional diversity. It is also intended to reflect the full range of different types of Australian Government agencies. As much as possible, membership draws from:
- Departments and other non-corporate Commonwealth entities
- corporate Commonwealth entities
- Australian Government Solicitor
- small and mid-size agencies
- Canberra-based agencies
- Non-Canberra based agencies.
Membership will also reflect diverse agency functions including policy, regulatory, specialist and operational.
An agency head must provide their written endorsement for any board nominations from their agency.

Ashfield District Council is proud to have been awarded the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award.
The Council is one of just four local authorities across the East Midlands to have achieved the prestigious award for 2019.
The Silver award replaces the Bronze award we previously held. Recognising the Council’s hard work to support the armed forces, including existing or prospective employees who are members of the community.
In 2018, the Council set out a large programme of commemorative events to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War, including planting poppy beds and installing Tommy silhouettes, poppy lights and gateway signs.
Last November, Chairman of the Council Cllr Anthony Brewer signed the Armed Forces Covenant on behalf of Ashfield at a service held at Southwell Minster.
Cllr David Walters, ADC Armed Forces Champion said: “We are humbled to be receiving this prestigious award. It marks our fantastic work in not only showing how proud we are of those who have served for our country but also that we are a veteran friendly employer as an authority.
“We will continue to be proud of the Armed Forces and ensure that service personnel, families and veterans can access the help and support available.”
Commenting on the announcement of the 2019 Employer Recognition Scheme Silver awards, Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace said: “These awards recognise the outstanding support for our armed forces from employers across Britain and I would like to thank and congratulate each and every one.
“Regardless of size, location or sector, employing ex-forces personnel is good for business and this year we have doubled the number of awards in recognition of the fantastic support they give.”
Minister for Defence People and Veterans Johnny Mercer said: “Veterans make a huge contribution to businesses across the country and it’s fantastic to see a record breaking number of organisations recognised for their support.
“We’re working closely with businesses to help them further understand the huge value that veterans, reservists and military spouses can bring to their organisation.”
Information relating to the Armed Forces Covenant is available on the Ashfield District Council website at the following address:
The Council will be presented with the award by the Ministry of Defence in November this year and is already working towards achieving the Gold Award.


In Syria, which has been engulfed in civil war since 2011, people are dying every day and the country is plunged into a humanitarian crisis. Experts from the Center for Eastern Studies estimate that Russia and Turkey are using the conflict to play out their long-term geopolitical goals as well as short-term gains. The activity of these countries increased in connection with the war in Ukraine and the accompanying tensions in international politics – assessed.
Powered by Russia and Iran, President Bashar al-Assad’s forces now control most of the southern and central regions Syria. The northwestern part of the country is occupied by the troops of Turkey and the Syrian rebels it supports, opposing the Assad regime. Located in the north and east, the Rojava region is under the control of Kurdish groups. Each of these forces is made up of many smaller groups and factions. There are also Islamist organizations in the country, including the remnants of the so-called Islamic State (IS). Fighting these groups and training local allies – mainly Kurds – is the most important task of the US troops, which has around 900 soldiers in the country.
While Syria no longer conducts regular, large-scale warfare, people die every day in a divided and conflict-ravaged country. According to the Syrian Human Rights Observatory (SOHR), 116 civilians were killed there in June. Some of them in the explosions of unexploded bombs and traps, some in shootings and skirmishes, which still take place between opposing forces. In Idlib’s northwestern province, regular shelling is carried out between Assad’s troops and the Russian air force supporting them, and anti-government rebels.
Turkey’s involvement in the conflict
Turkey became directly involved in the military in Syria in 2016 to pursue its long-term goals of demonstrating power in the region and securing itself against Kurdish groups. Ankara recognizes as a threat not only the separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), representing the Turkish Kurds – an organization recognized as terrorist also by the EU and the US – but also the People’s Self-Defense Units (YPG) operating in Syria and their political superstructure – the Democratic Union Party (PYD).
The YPG are the backbone of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) – the forces controlling the Rojava, inhabited mainly, but not exclusively, by Kurds. SDF played a key role in defeating IS in Syria in 2019. However, the jihadist organization that once occupied a vast territory of Syria still maintains clandestine cells in the country and carries out attacks. In late January, a battle broke out between the SDF and the IS after jihadists tried to take control of the Al-Hasaka prison that has imprisoned many IS fighters. More than 500 people died on both sides, according to the SOHR. It was the biggest IS attack in three years.
President of Turkey on May 23 Recep Tayyip Erdogan he announced another offensive by the Turkish army on the southern border of the country, aimed at “combating terrorism”. The authorities in Ankara have accused the YPG and other Syrian Kurdish groups of close ties to the PKK and thus also recognize them as terrorist organizations.
OSW expert on “great opportunity” for Turkey
– This military operation has not yet started, its aim would be to capture the Kurdish areas around the cities of Tall Rifat and Manbidz, explained in an interview with PAP Adam Michalski, a specialist at the Warsaw Center for Eastern Studies (OSW) who deals with Turkey.
As he emphasized, the announcement of a new offensive should be linked to Ankara’s willingness to take advantage of the international situation changed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as Turkish domestic policy and the election calendar.
– Ankara has a very calculated, transactional foreign policy. Of course, in Syria it wants to achieve its goals, that is, first of all, to crack down on the Kurds, but it also uses the threat of invasion as a bargaining chip in relations with both the West and Russia, the researcher said.
– This issue is a great opportunity for Turkey to push through its demands, i.e. impose on others NATO countries definition of terrorism and permanently include the issue of the fight against the PKK in the agenda of the Alliance – assessed Michalski. – Ankara will therefore test its allies by presenting the new offensive as a fight against terrorism, and Turkey as a loyal NATO member, which is the only one to actively fight terror – he added.
“Anti-refugee moods have been growing in Turkey for years”
Run by the Kremlin war in Ukraine prompted Sweden and Finland to apply for NATO membership. Turkey was the only ally to raise its objections. The expert noted that the signing of a non-binding memorandum – a document in which Ankara agrees to accession in exchange for Sweden’s and Finland’s vague commitments to fight terrorism – does not close the case at all, because consent to the enlargement has yet to be approved by the Turkish parliament. Erdogan has already announced that whether the motion is put to the vote at all will depend on the implementation of the provisions by Sweden and Finland. It can be expected that Turkey, in exchange for agreeing to NATO enlargement, will try to obtain support or at least approval for the invasion from NATO, especially the USA, which cooperate with the YPG in the fight against IS, the OSW expert assessed.
Michalski added that for the success of the operation in northern Syria, Turkey must also come to an agreement with Russia, which also maintains a military presence in Kurdish territories and controls Syrian airspace. Here, Ankara can use the ongoing talks with Moscow on the export of grain from Ukrainian ports as an element of a political bargain that could possibly help Russia bypass global sanctions in exchange for allowing the Turkish offensive to proceed, he stressed.
The OSW expert also noted that another important aspect of the planned operation is the willingness to settle in the occupied territories of Syria some of the more than 3.5 million refugees from this country who took refuge in Turkey. – In the country, anti-refugee moods have been growing for years, causing Erdogan’s support to decline, especially in the ultranationalist electorate, which demands action in this matter – the researcher noted. He added that this is an important issue for the rulers of Turkey, because presidential and parliamentary elections were scheduled for June 2023, and the polls were not in favor of Erdogan and his party.
“It is obvious that Russia is trying to put pressure on the Americans here”
Russian troops have also been present in Syria since 2015, the ongoing conflict there is now of secondary importance for the Kremlin, but there are signals suggesting that Russia is interested in aggravating the situation in this country, which would serve to put pressure on the US, he said in turn. Dr. Witold Rodkiewicz, chief specialist of the OSW Russian Team. – It is obvious that Russia is trying to put pressure on the Americans here, to let them know that if they continue their support for Ukraine, they can expect an escalation of the conflict in Syria, perhaps elsewhere – he added.
Rodkiewicz assessed that for the time being it seems to be ineffective, the Americans do not give in to this pressure, but it is also known that the US government is afraid of destabilization in Syria.
In mid-June, the media began reporting that the American authorities were recording more and more “provocative” behavior by Russian forces in Syria, which could even threaten an unintended direct clash between the two countries’ troops stationed there.
– The Russian presence in Syria has always had a purely instrumental character and was to serve other political goals of the Kremlin, not related to Syria itself, as can be seen now – emphasized Rodkiewicz. “First, it was about showing the West that Russia is an important actor in the Middle East that cannot be ignored and must be talked to,” he explained. He added that it was also important to achieve maximum benefits in the regional policy of the Middle East. – Russia tried to normalize the situation in Syria through trilateral negotiations with Turkey and Iran [tak zwany format astański – przyp. red.] – that is, to implement your vision of a new international order, in which the situation of individual parts of the world will be determined by such local concerts of powers, but without the participation of the USA – he explained.
OHCHR: Over 300,000 civilians died during the 10 years of the war
As Rodkiewicz noted, another ideologically important reason for the Russian intervention on the side of the Assad regime was to prevent another authoritarian leader from being swept away by a grassroots revolution. This could encourage a large Muslim minority in Russia and, more broadly, in areas recognized by Moscow as its sphere of influence, e.g. Central Asia, the researcher noted. He added that the underlying protests against the Assad rule were also perceived by the secret services section of the Kremlin elite as a US-controlled and triggered process that would continue through Iran and into Russia.
Therefore, efforts were made to keep it as far away from Russia as possible, which basically succeeded, the Assad regime was maintained, but now it practically no longer needs the military support of Russia, which was actually necessary in the earlier phase of the war, the expert assessed. He added that the Syrian government is militarily much more dependent on Iranian aid than Russia, and that Moscow must nevertheless maintain its troops in Syria, although it is now a small contingent consisting mainly of aviation, to use this situation instrumentally and, for example, to exert its influence indirectly. pressure on the US to help Ukraine – concluded Rodkiewicz.
According to a report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), published on July 1, over 300,000 civilians had died in Syria over 10 years of civil war by April 2021. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reports that 6.6 million people left the country with 22.5 million inhabitants in 2011 and a further 6.7 million became internally displaced persons. More than half of the Syrian population needs humanitarian aid to survive. The humanitarian crisis in the country will continue to worsen along with the rise in food prices in world markets and a decline in grain imports – the result of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine – assessed the UN.

Armitage Shanks is a porcelain sanitary-ware company. Its headquarters are in Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom. Its main product is toilets, but they also make bathroom fixtures and plumbing supplies.
Armitage Shanks began as two separate companies. The first company was called Armitage Ware Limited, it was founded in 1817 by a Thomas Bond. He began the company in Pottery but soon started making toilets in the 1850's. The second Company established was called Shanks Holdings Limited, this was based in Barrhead near Glasgow, they started making toilets in 1878. The two companies joined in 1969 to make Armitage Shanks.
In 1980 Armitage Shanks was purchased by Blue Circle Industries, and in February 1999 Blue Circle sold its bathroom division (consisting of Armitage Shanks and the Italian Ceramica Dolomite) to U.S. based American Standard Companies for US$430 million. Following this purchase, the Armitage Shanks brand continued in the UK, and their former export markets. American Standard were acquired by Bain Capital in 2007 and is now majority-owned by Sun Capital Partners.


The District is launching a single, unified lottery system for most public schools.
To streamline the lottery system, the District now has a common application for all traditional public schools and the majority of public charter schools.
Officials hope My School DC will make it easier for families to apply for spots at out-of-boundary schools and elimate duplications on waitlists. They also say the new lottery system will provide more stability by allowing families to know what schools their children can attend earlier.

As Halloween draws near, the urge to talk about horror games just grows and grows doesn’t it? Even now I find myself tempted to start talking about just how wonderfully spooky the cramped corridors of Dead Space are! However, today we’ve got something much better to talk about! As promised, today UWG has more exciting details to deliver about INFRA, a game in which you and only you can keep your city from literally falling apart! The good folks at Loiste Interactive, the minds behind INFRA, were kind enough to give us some hands-on time with the game. What follows are some impressions from the demo I played, as well as some further clarification kindly provided by Loiste founder, Oskari Samiola. INFRA is due out next month, so please have a look and see why INFRA just might be worth your attention.
The demo I played picks up in a mission to inspect an old water supply system for defects and possible failures. The funny thing is, I didn’t really know that at first. Since it was a demo, I found myself trying to piece together what was going on. The thing is, I was actually able to do it without much difficulty. I didn’t know the full how or why of what I was doing there, but I was able to pick up on the basics based on the expressive environment design and plenty of little notes and signs left. My character was a structural analyst, pumping station was in a sorry state of disrepair, and the notes left around told me that the staff didn’t care on way or another if the place fell apart. It wasn’t hard to guess why I was there.
Of notes and environment design was only a taste of how INFRA handles its story and direction. I asked Mr. Samiola about it and learned that INFRA is a game that aims to gently guide the player rather than aggressively pushing them forward. Locations you’re tasked with investigating, phone calls, documents, letters and more will all be used to suggest where to go and what to look at. To me, all this makes it sound as though INFRA is more interested in getting its players to decide to investigate locations on their own rather than dictating that they do it.
According to Samiola, the puzzle element is going to be following a similar model. See, there were a few moments in the demo where I thought my puzzle solution might have only been one of a few possibilities. It turns out that that feeling was correct! Samiola stated that there are in fact several puzzles throughout the game that have multiple solutions, and that those solutions will often lead to shortcuts and even alternative routes offering more of the story to uncover. There will even be some puzzle solutions that can result in permanently damaging machinery, for better or worse.
The puzzles I played revolved around routing power and water, but you can expect to be doing more than simply re-routing stuff the whole time. When I asked about this, Samiola mentioned that there some puzzles that bring entire levels into play. There’s even a level that tasks you with running the entire facility with just yourself and a few computers! He also mentioned puzzle-solving that involved operating vehicles and even combing through documents to find data and codes needed to progress. There’s definitely some mental challenge here for those who want it. There are also measures in place for players who aren’t very good at puzzling. There are plenty of clues to be found, and Samiola also mentioned that there’s an option for making useable things glow. It sounds like some puzzles will take some extra thought, but will definitely be solvable.
Going back to the power and water routing, in our first interview it was mentioned that there was a great deal of engineering knowledge being put to use in INFRA’s development. So, I enquired as to whether or not the routing puzzles reflect real life at all. The response that while some freedoms were taken in order to keep INFRA’s puzzles feel fun and noticeable, many of them do incorporate realistic actions and objects into their solutions. For example, a pumping station level in which we’ll have to use computers to toggle valves and pumps in order to manipulate the water flow.
Aside from puzzles, INFRA also tasks players with some light inventory management and photo-documentation. In order to progress in some places, you’ll need the proper keys and authorization codes. Keys activate automatically if you have them, and codes will require players to exercise their memories a little bit, if not their writing skills. When asked about inventory needs, Samiola said that the demo more or less reflected the game. Items like keys are limited to each level, and there won’t be so many of them that one would easily lose track of them. Codes are simple too, it’s just a matter of either writing them down or memorizing them since the game won’t be keeping track for you. Then there’s your camera.
The camera may not be as important as your flashlight, but it plays a vital role nonetheless. As a structural analyst, your main job is to find and document the portions of the city’s infrastructure that have either failed or are on the verge of failing. This is where the camera comes in. Be diligent with your photos, because they’ll have a direct impact on how INFRA ends. While you are solving problems here and there as you move through the game, but a single structural analyst can only do so much! Take those pictures and let your office know what’s in dire need of attention!
From what I saw in the demo, and from what Mr. Samiola revealed in his responses to our questions, it looks as though INFRA is going to be a worth the attention of long-time puzzle fans, mystery enthusiasts, civil engineers, and most anyone who’d enjoy an adventure that’s a bit more grounded in reality than your average game. Simply put, my first impressions of INFRA were quite solid! As I mentioned earlier, INFRA’s first installment is due out next month on Steam. We’ll be sure to do our part and get a full review out for you as soon as we’re able. Until then, check out this cool trailer and the official INFRA site if you’d like to learn more!

Annual UCR Retail as Art Competition Inspires Student’s International Photography Career
DALLAS, Texas, February 19, 2014 – When 17-year-old Abby Chang entered her first student photography contest on a whim in 2012, she never thought that two years later she would be shooting natural disaster footage as a field photographer for an international aid organization.
Chang, currently a junior at The Einstein School of Plano, first entered the 2012 UCR Retail as Art photography competition, which awards thousands of dollars in scholarships each year to area high school students, at the behest of her North Dallas High School art teacher Brian McClure.
“Mr. MClure took an interest in me and saw that I liked photography and had a lot of potential, so he let me know about the contest just for fun,” said Chang, who realized her interest in photography while studying abroad in South Korea before returning to the states for high school. “I didn’t realize there was an actual career aspect to photography until after I explored it in depth. Before I had just thought it was a hobby. [The contest] definitely opened me up to other opportunities in photography. I was able to find out that photography is a career path that a lot of people pursue and it made me realize it’s an option for me as well.”
Chang initially began taking pictures on her cell phone while commuting to and from school in South Korea.
“I was a dormitory student and didn’t really see my parents until the weekend,” said Chang. “I had a lot of time to myself and being a foreigner and not really having a lot of people to connect with, I started to take a lot of pictures on my phone. That’s what started it.”
McClure said Chang’s cultural background and experiences make her photography work stand apart from the average student.
“It has been wonderful seeing her grow,” McClure said. “Abby has shown drastic improvement and responds very well to constructive criticism. She has a unique advantage and perspective living in Korea and doing mission work.”
Under McClure’s guidance, Chang won third place in the 2012 Retail as Art competition and went on to win second place the following year. She said the experience gave her the confidence to explore photography as a career.
Chang’s family, who founded the nonprofit aid organization Linking The World in 1996, opened a Dallas- based American branch in 2012 that is run by Chang’s sister, Mina Chang.
“I think through the Retail as Art competition and exploring other portals of photography they realized I had some talent and they tested me out a couple of times just to make sure I had the right qualifications to become one of their field photographers,” said Chang, who attended an intense training program last summer to prepare for the role. “I had to go abroad to these countries where there is a lot of risk involved. There was a really long training and trial period and it just worked out really well.”
Chang recently returned from a month-and-a-half-long assignment in the Philippines where she photographed the aftermath of the typhoon Haiyan. Prior to that, she shot photos in Haiti and the Dominican Republic for the organization.
“It’s not just taking the photo, it’s about the things involved in it,” said Chang. “Traveling has really opened me up to things. Everywhere I go my perspective is always changing and I get to see the perspectives of other people. As a photographer it’s really important to understand that.” Chang said she would recommend contests like Retail as Art to aspiring student photographers because of the exposure and inspiration it offers.
“You can learn a lot about working in the photography field because you’re up against other people and you can see past winners and their photos, discover why those photos won, what people liked about them and what the judges look for,” Chang said. “Every time you enter a contest, you’re learning something new. When I first entered, I didn’t know anything about it and now I know what the judges look for and what makes a good quality photo.”
Jim Reische, photography instructor at Cistercian Preparatory School, who has also mentored several students in the Retail as Art competition, said he is always surprised at what the contest brings out in students.
“You just never know what they’ll be able to do,” Reische said. “I’m exceptionally proud of all my students who take part in this. Having a deadline and a specific topic is good motivation, and they get to see how photography in the real world looks. It’s good for them to see their work compared to other students’ work. They get to see how good they really are.”

AS-15-M2480 Rima Krieger snakes out of the west side of the polygonal crater Krieger. The crater on the south rim of Krieger is Van Biesbroeck, and the larger of the two to the east is Rocco. The rilles along the left side of the image are part of Rimae Aristarchus.
LPOD Photo Gallery Lunar Orbiter Images Apollo Images
(LAC zone 39A1) LAC map Geologic map LM map LTO map Topophotomap
This sinuous rille is thought to have been formed by lava flowing out from the floor of Krieger through the low point in the west rim. However, there is a possible faint extension of the rille onto the crater floor visible in the Apollo 15 panoramic photos used to construct Topophotomap 39A1S1, and the stereo mapping indicates that the apparent low point is actually about 20 m higher than the surface on either side. - JimMosher
- The coordinates given in the title line are measured from LTO 39A1. The position listed in the IAU Planetary Gazetteer is 29.0°N, 45.6°W, the same as Krieger. Since the rille is entirely to the west of Krieger they cannot be correct. However the length of 22 km appears accurate.
- Rima Krieger is a little under 800 m across, and its depth obviously diminishes to the east. Judging from the shadows in the Apollo 15 metric images used to construct LTO 39A1 (including the one reproduced above), apparently taken at around 12:48 UT on August 4, 1971, the deepest points, near the start about about 140 m deep, a value in reasonable agreement with the small section visible in Topophotomap 39A1S1. - JimMosher
Named from nearby crater. (Krieger)

Confident Women Top Personal Presentation Tips
We all have people that we know in our lives who always look polished and well put together, like they have just finished a photoshoot for Vogue magazine. We envy them, it makes them seem unflappable, like they can handle any situation, their personal presentation is spot on.
Now I am not saying that personal presentation is the only way to get confidence, it can however certainly let others see you as more confident, but it doesnt just mean what you wear.
We have all heard how important first impressions are. But not everybody knows that the “first impression” is actually only a seven second window upon meeting someone for the first time.
So how can you make a positive first impression on either an interview, date, sales presentation or when speaking to a group?
1) SMILE – The best way is to simply smile. Why, because is it is one of the simple social pleasures of life, which goes almost unnoticed because it’s generally automatic, is when you smile at someone and they smile back.
Also is a great way for your to relax in any situation. When you smile for 5 minutes you will be in state of happiness. The chemicals in the brain can be ‘tricked’ into belief that you are actually feeling a feeling, through the physical sense.
’cause when you’re smiling, The whole world smiles with you’
Think of a situation that always makes you smile, a real genuine smile, one that starts at the eyes and goes all the way across your face.
Focus on how you feel when you think of this situation.
Capture this feeling in your mind and the next time that you are going into a situation that you find uncomfortable or where you will be meeting someone for the first time, think of this memory and feel the smile spread
2) POSTURE – The next golden rule is concentrate on your posture.Imagine that there is a piece of string that is running through your body from your head to pelvis. Pretend that this piece of string is pulling you up, with your hips forward, your chest out, shoulders rolled back and chin parallel to the ground. This will provide you with a confidence stance that will hold you up straighter and give you the appearance of being more confidence.
3) INTRODUCTIONS – ‘HELLO, my name is’. Consider how you would introduce yourself to people when they ask what you do.
Don’t just respond with ‘ Oh I am a Sales Manager’, Create a powerful statement that describes what you do, you can use something similar to my example. By the way, if you are not working at the moment as you are raising your children, you are not ‘A stay at home mum’ you are ‘A Household Executive’
Looking confident is an important aspect of any successful working life or career.

My desire is this ebook may help to open up a brand new readership for [Charles Rycroft]--not a following, that's the very last thing he would wish, yet an open-minded readership of people that wish encouragement to head on considering their very own method during the deeply freeing event of psychotherapy. there are many humans round who're prepared to inform us what psychotherapy is, what occurs or should still take place among therapist and sufferer, what occurs among moms and infants etc. There usually are not such a lot of who motivate therapists to be in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, with none irritable achieving after truth and reason", within the phrases Charles cherished to cite from the poet John Keats. this is often the artistic place, the single within which it's attainable to move on asking the query "What is psychotherapy?" with no inevitably discovering a solution to it." -- From the IntroductionCharles Rycroft’s lucid jargon-free method of psychoanalysis encouraged an entire iteration. Taking notion from many fields outdoors psychoanalysis, together with heritage, literature, linguistics and ethology, he confirmed the $64000 hyperlink among psychological future health and the mind's eye, making a broader point of view and inspiring unfastened considering. This solitary and inventive “rebel” not often obtained the popularity he deserved, yet this choice of articles and papers via those who felt the advantage of his ever-curious, increasing wealth of data, is going a way to acknowledging the debt owed to him, and introducing a brand new new release to this cutting edge analyst.Contributors contain Margaret Arden, Harold Bourne, Susan Budd, Vincent Brome, Robin Higgins, Jeremy Holmes, Edgar Jones, R.D.Laing, John Padel, Jenny Pearson, Paul Roazen, Anthony Storr, John H.Turner, Maryon Tysoe and Dudley younger.

Third, he would have been interested to see how psychoanalysis is once more gradually opening itself up to “real” science—via attachment theory, child development studies, and neurobiology (Schore, 1994). For example, the distinction between “episodic” (what happened) and “semantic” (how it happened) memory in cognitive science is akin to Freud’s distinction between secondary and primary processes as explicated by Rycroft, and this, in turn, can be linked with neural network theory that has come from computing science to neuroscience and now into psychoanalysis.
He cites John Macmurray, who could be described as a Scottish Christian existentialist. Macmurray was, in turn, one of Fairbairn’s mentors, with whom Rycroft also clearly felt an intellectual affinity. The existentialist tenet that the essential humanness of man cannot be reduced to objective descriptors is consistent with Rycroft’s critique of what he saw as psychoanalysis’s reification and pseudo-objectification of the mind. The notions of freedom, agency, and authenticity crop up frequently in Rycroft’s writings, all of which can be linked to the existentialist tradition.
However, he had strong beliefs in the possibility of amelioration of suffering at both personal and social level. He had OUTSTANDING WITHIN THE “ IMPOSSIBLE ” PROFESSION 23 a great respect for the past and for authentic choice. E. M. Forster’s “only connect” was his motto. His ability to bring together the inner world of psychoanalysis with the wider sphere of psychotherapy, to trace links between the Establishment of his origins and the dissent of his adulthood, are qualities that will be sorely missed.
