CTIA conference, where Verizon disclosed the launch date (March 29) and revealed other details about the store's planned operation. Most notably, the new VCast store has a revenue model that mimics that of Apple's iTunes. Application developers partnering with Verizon keep 70% of the revenue generated from app sales, while Verizon keeps the remaining 30% for itself.Verizon Wireless prepares to take on the big names in mobile application stores, including Apple and Google, with the launch of its own carrier-specific "Vcast App Store" next week. Here, customers will be able to purchase mobile apps and pay for them on their monthly wireless bill. The store's launch was announced at the recent
Verizon's VP of marketing John Stratton recently explained in an interview with CNET that the company is not trying to compete with the other application stores already out there, but rather partner with them. The store already has one launch partner, RIM, makers of the Blackberry line of smartphones.
Verizon Deals Itself into the App Store Game
But what do the VCast Store partners get out of the deal? Not revenue it seems. Only developers and Verizon share in that. Instead, the partners simply get access to a wider audience, which in turn supports their own developer community. And more developers means more apps, and more apps means better smartphone sales. That reasoning may explain why RIM is on board at launch time. Blackberry smartphones, although still a staple in the business world and, interestingly enough, still at the the top of the smartphone OS market in the U.S., don't have the developer community that Apple, Android and even Nokia with its Ovi store do. In fact, recent reports pegged Blackberry's app store size as 4th largest in a lineup that included the top six smartphone makers.
explains Jim Balsille, co-CEO of RIM regarding the company's mobile app offerings, "the applications need to be adopted so we can drive more BlackBerry sales. And this makes the carrier a strategic partner."At least RIM is aware of this issue. "It's real simple; for this revenue stream to carry on and thrive,"
One-Click App Shopping
In addition to using its own Web site to provide an online application store where apps can be purchased, rated and downloaded, app store developers who partner with Verizon will also have access to APIs that allow them to tap into other Verizon services like location-based services and messaging. But the biggest benefit is that Verizon app shoppers, whether accessing the store via the website or mobile phone, don't have to pay for their applications on the spot using a specially created VCast account and associated credit card. Instead, the apps purchased are invoiced on a monthly cycle alongside minutes used and texts sent on customers' cell phone bills.
For consumers, the benefit is a one-click process for app buying. For Verizon, the benefit is that they've just re-inserted themselves into the revenue stream that is the mobile application market - a market growing so fast, it's expected to reach $17.5 billion by 2012. Unlike AT&T, which gets nothing every time an iPhone application is sold but then has to support the data traffic new apps bring to its network, Verizon hopes to make the mobile app store something that's mutually beneficial to customers and carriers alike.
The VCast application store will launch March 29. Interested developers can find support and have their questions answered over on the Verizon Developer Community forums.Don't miss the ReadWriteWeb Mobile Summit on May 7th in Mountain View, California! We're at a key point in the history of mobile computing right now - we hope you'll join us, and a group of the most innovative leaders in the mobile industry, to discuss it.

Concert reviews: Nézet-Séguin conducts Poulenc & Prokofiev, 23 October 2013
- Published: Thursday, 24 October 2013 15:50
'Yannick Nézet-Séguin [was] alive to the solemn and dramatic aspects of Poulenc's setting, its radiance, jauntiness, pealing vitality and ritual dance. The London Philharmonic Choir was splendid, singing with strength, sensitivity and devotion, the LPO also contributing much under Yannick Nézet-Séguin's demonstrative conducting.'
Colin Anderson, Classical Source, 24 October 2013
On Wednesday 23 October, our 2013/14 concert season at Royal Festival Hall continued with a concert of works by Poulenc and Prokofiev under Principal Guest Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin with soloists Kate Royal and Alexandre Tharaud. Here are the press reviews ...
'Quite the best and deepest I've ever heard in concert, Nézet-Séguin grasped the dark undertow of the surface-simple Seventh, the urgency with which more acid elements intrude, the enigmatic spangling of the supernatural childlike trot which rounds off the basic argument (and the symphony). His fabulous instinct for the right late romantic rubato highlighted the connection with Prokofiev's beloved Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov; the luminous focus he always brings to instrumental colour made us register every subtle shift in the masterly orchestral palette, from piccolo down to cor anglais in the winds, the finest of trumpet writing down to the baleful intrusions of trombones and tuba.'
David Nice, The Arts Desk, 24 October 2013
'This concert covered a lot of emotional ground; from the irony and lightness of the Piano Concerto, to the promise of salvation through Christ's suffering, via the artful intensity of Prokofiev, all of which was well organised and balanced by Nézet-Séguin. It may well be that the programme makes sense for contextual or historic reasons, but my own impression is that it showed the different things that music can be.'
Edward Whitney, Bachtrack, 25 October 2013
'The London Philharmonic Choir did Poulenc's Stabat mater proud. Indeed, one sensed that Nézet-Séguin's roots in choral conducting generally lifted the level of performance.'
Mark Berry, Boulezian (blog), 27 October 2013

Young yogi to lead class at Crescenta-Cañada YMCA as part of Red Nose Day campaign
Natalie Asatryan was just 5 when she first experienced the power of yoga.
The Foothills-area student attended a yoga class for kids, where the children were seated in the lotus position, asked to close down their eyes and take a deep breath.
Imagine with each breath you’re blowing up a hot air balloon, the teacher told them. Natalie pictured an enormous striped balloon with a heart on it. Relaxation followed, which for her, an irrepressibly bubbly go-getter sort, was no small feat. She was hooked.
“It was much more chill than everything else,” she said, comparing it to the gymnastics, acting and dancing she did for fun. “It was a good way to calm me down.”
As time wore on, her interest grew, and at age 9 Natalie wondered what it would take to become a yoga teacher herself. She and her mom, Stella Balasanian, looked for a program willing to accept a student so young, a process that would take three years.
“They’d tell me, ‘Wait till you’re 18,’” Natalie recalled. “Since yoga is a lot of philosophy, they said it would be harder to grasp as a kid than an adult.”
At age 12, she found a teacher willing to take her on and began the disciplined 200-hour journey toward becoming a certified yoga instructor. Today, at 14, still one of the youngest instructors in the nation, Natalie teaches for children and seniors and donates her time to a number of philanthropic efforts.
On Sunday her love of good causes brings her to La Cañada Flintridge, where she will lead a one-hour yoga session at the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA to raise awareness and funds for the annual charity campaign Red Nose Day.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with the class taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The cost is $25, with all proceeds benefiting the Red Nose Day campaign.
Started in the U.K. in 1988 as a telethon, the campaign has raised about $1 billion to support programs that help children in need. People now purchase and wear noses in solidarity, giving the campaign its name.
The effort moved to the United States in 2015 and is run by the nonprofit Comic Relief USA, which has raised nearly $150 million for children’s programs. The monthlong campaign began April 22 and culminates with a May 23 primetime telethon on NBC.
Lauren Spitzer, vice president of fundraising and development for Comic Relief/Red Nose Day, has been following Natalie’s campaign with interest.
“What I love best about her story is what a role model she is for kids,” she said. “You’re never too young to make a difference. You can do something you love and do it for a cause you believe in — that’s so core to who we are.”
Although she has her own red nose collection, Natalie joins hundreds of Americans whose support transcends a transaction. Her personal campaign goal this year is $5,000. She thinks helping others awaken to the benefits of yoga, and to a cause making a difference in the world, is the perfect way to give back.
“The best way to lift yourself up is to lift others up,” she said. “I feel like we can do so much, and I really, really want to get other people involved with this.”
Balasanian says guiding her daughter through this personal journey has been humbling.
“We don’t give kids enough credit,” she said. “Kids are so much stronger and more resilient than we give them credit for. Natalie’s teaching me that more and more every day.”
“Kids are really amazing,” Natalie agreed. “We can do so much more than adults think we can.”

An exceptional design and handmade, English Modernist drop-leaf table by David Joel Ltd, circa 1940. The base, with it's architectural stance, has two hinged beams that work with an unusual, yet simple, locking system. They easily click in and out to lift or drop the two side leafs of the top. Originally this table was designed as a library table, but it has good proportions as a dining table for four to six.
The top is an Indian Laurel veneer, carefully refinished, so this table is in great condition.
When open it is 153 cm and when closed 79 cm. Height: 75.5 cm and depth: 70 cm.

2 Pole 30mA RCCB (Sigma) Orange is a type of electrical switch that provides protection against electric shocks and electrical fires caused by ground faults or leakage currents.
The RCCB constantly monitors the flow of current in an electrical circuit. It detects any imbalance between the current flowing into the circuit and the current returning from the circuit.
When the RCCB detects a significant residual current, it quickly interrupts the circuit by tripping, thereby cutting off the power supply. This action helps to prevent electrical accidents and potential damage to electrical equipment or wiring.
RCCBs are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to enhance electrical safety. They are particularly important in areas where there is a risk of electric shock, such as wet environments like bathrooms or outdoor locations.
When an overload or short circuit occurs, causing the current to exceed the rated limit of the circuit, the circuit breaker will trip and interrupt the flow of electricity. This action shuts off power to the affected circuit, preventing further damage. Once the issue is resolved, the circuit breaker can be manually reset to restore power to the circuit.


As coronavirus begins to appear in the area, local communities are stepping up to help one another in this unprecedented time of need.
Though schools are closed, Northern Tioga School District staff and local individuals volunteered to set up food distribution sites across the valley. At the distribution sites, families residing in the school district with children between the ages of 0-18 were eligible to pick up a pre-packed lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
As families drove to the distribution areas, volunteers brought meals out to the vehicles for a drive through style system that helped to maintain social distancing practices.
But not everyone needing meals was able to drive to the distribution sites. That’s where local businesses stepped in to lend a helping hand.
Jeremy Freeman is the head of grounds and maintenance for NTSD and also owns Muffler Shop Plus, Inc. in Elkland. When Freeman heard about the district needing a way to transport the food, he volunteered a box truck from his business. With the help of the box truck and other individuals pitching in to help deliver, volunteers were able to distribute 1,800 meals throughout the valley in just the first week.
“They needed a way to transport the food so we allowed them to borrow the truck,” said Missy Freeman, co-owner of Muffler Shop Plus, Inc. “We figured it’s the least we could do to help out.”
While each day brings more updates of the spread of the virus, businesses continue to step forward to offer aid. The staff at Short’s Tastee Pastries in Elkland is working to bake enough bread to feed everyone.
Owner Shelia Cole said, they made 200 loaves of white bread on Friday, not including 60 or so wheat and another 20 loaves of rye. Cole said she has customers from New York calling because they can’t find any bread across the border. Anyone who has been shopping in the last week can sympathize.
Supporting one another helps everyone realize they are not alone.
“It’s great how the businesses in this area have come together,” Freeman said. “It’s building a positive camaraderie in these difficult times.”


What does the connected home mean for the future of retail?
When people talk about the connected home they tend to focus on devices: solutions for the automation of turning on the lights or setting the temperature, connected appliances or security systems. But actually the Internet of Things (IoT), where devices and systems connect to the internet to talk to us, each other and apps, makes the connected home about so much more.
Many people are only now getting their heads around what this connectivity might mean for them. And that goes for whole industries as well. The potential of the IoT, and we’re not only talking about in the home here, to revolutionise how we live our lives is very real. How we buy things is a prime example – and if it can change how we buy, then it may also change how retailers sell to us.
The foundations of the connected home
So, how do you start a disruption like this? First, you’ve got to get the foundations right. Loxone is one home automation solutionhelping customers centrally manage their smart devices. The company uses a miniserver and app to create a complete ecosystem. Philipp Schuster, MD of Loxone UK, explains how the idea of a connected home is growing: “The demand for a connected home is increasingly apparent with 69% of consumers wanting smart technology in their house.
“However if retailers want to take advantage of this demand, they must be prepared to help consumers understand the plethora of connected devices available and be clear on the tangible benefits in order to ensure wider adoption and mass sales. Unfortunately a large amount of the piecemeal devices already on the market can lead to confusion and may fall short on the user experience due to their complexity, unnecessary features and lack of integration with each other,” he continues.
Formerly known as Alfred Smart Home, Gideon is an app-based smart home solution that lets people manage their connected home devices. For Marco Matera, Gideon’s Chief Commercial Officer & Co-Founder, the smart home is really about lifestyle management: “The smart home is just a small piece of the ecosystem, what really makes the difference are the users and their lifestyle.
“Since we started working on our platform we made several changes due to the changing need of the users – they could shop online even before the smart home, what is changing now is that IoT enabled devices, such as Amazon Echo, now make you feel like you’re in control of your life.”
While it’s exciting to think about the applications, Schuster warns that getting the foundations of the connected home right are crucial to making them happen: “An alternative option for retailers is to consider focusing on holistic solutions, where all devices across the home really are connected and ‘speak’ to each other effectively. If retailers are serious about the connected home, they need to support customers in making the right smart home choices from the start. Success will come from developing an appreciation for complete solutions that can provide a future-proofed smart home, and not just a property filled with disconnected gadgets that will not last the test of time.”
A means of management
Along with smartphones, it seems as though the connected home is heading towards becoming a management tool for our lives. And not just for the direct ecosystem of the home though. The IoT means that the connected home will increasingly be a hub for a whole suite of activities and services that we carry out on a regular basis.
If This Then That or IFTTT is an automation solution that helps users manage their lives by creating ‘Recipes’ that connect different servicestogether. Anne Mercogliano, VP of Marketing shares this idea of making smart services work for users in ways that benefit them: “As the IoT evolves, more and more things will become services. Lights, appliances, stores, organisations, governments, pets, television channels — anything that is powered by electricity, and many things that aren’t, will now have this potential. You will definitely see the same trend with retail as well.”
She continues: “Of course, each new service means a new account, a new app or device, and more data to manage. There’s no scalable way for all of these services to work together. That’s where IFTTT comes in: we empower you to manage all of these services with confidence and create new opportunities for them to interact. We want our users to feel in control, secure in the knowledge that all the services they choose to bring into their lives will work together seamlessly.”
Buying through the connected home
What are the specific retail applications for the smart home then? For retailers the connected home presents new opportunities to talk to customers in their homes, outside of traditional media advertising. It also enables new service offerings designed to make life simpler and easier for customers. For customers it’s another portal through which to make purchases, and to take some of the work out of that.
While we’re still learning exactly what this looks like in practice, Mercoglianosees numerous uses: “The connected home means many more ways to help us with our shopping decisions. We can easily remember to add things to our shopping lists, keep track of our house or what is at home while we are out, and even have access to retail stores APIs to understand what is in stock and what is on its way.”
Matera also believes that the scope is broad: “What we’re focusing on is connecting corporates or big brands directly with your home. An example, what if you receive cereals the day you’ve thrown away the empty package? Same applies for the eggs or for the coffee or soap for the washing machine. This is just an example to explain how it applies to everything.”
Where does this leave the rest of retail?
As to where the connected home leaves the rest of the retail ecosystem, again only time will tell. It is likely to take time for smart home devices to reach significant penetration, and for people to make them an intrinsic part of their lives, rather than just a new way of turning on the lights. But you only have to look at how crucial smartphones have become for many to see the potential.
The connected home has the capability to change the way we order things, take delivery, communicate with companies, browse and more. As such, it will likely sit alongside the physical, online and mobile offerings as part of a truly multi-channel ecosystem built around the customer.
Indeed, Mercogliano thinks the future is about utilising all channels to achieve maximum benefit: “The future of retail with connected devices means that it isn’t just a dichotomy of turning to the web or heading to the store. Retail decisions and research won’t just be done in web or on an app or walking down the aisles. We see bots on the horizon, here to help, widgets and digital assistants. It isn’t going to be about a race of which one will “win it all” but we will be using them all when they make our lives easier.”
Of course, there’s also the possibility that the connected home could disrupt things more than originally conceived. Particularly when it is paired with other technologies looking to gain greater traction, such as virtual reality and augmented reality.
For Matera the connected home is part of an overall shift in retail which could mean the future looks very different: “I think that the overall experience in the store will change completely, when virtual reality is something that everyone can have the store will be unnecessary, people can just wander around a virtual shop and buy whatever they want online. What we’re doing, but not just us, is connecting the user to what’s around him.
“The key for connected living is in the insights that companies gather from the users. From what we’ve seen it won’t take long before the store experience will change radically – when at least 50% of the UK population will have a smart home linked to their Amazon account, physical store presence will be much lower,” he concludes.

For the first time since her very public break-up with fiancé Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus performed her hit single Wrecking Ball. The pop singer took the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and according to sources she actually shed a few tears while singing the song. Complex posted this video and– honestly– I can’t tell if she’s crying or just sounds a little off at times. But folks who were there are saying that she definitely broke down. Completely understandable, I think. Miley‘s been the target of lots of talk these days, but I think we can all feel for somebody going through a break up. Keep ya head up, girl!

Miley Tweeted Some Lurve To The New Zealand Pop Star
Honestly? It is really sad that these superfans on Twitter think that being a dedicated fan to one pop star somehow translates into sending death threats to another. WTF? I just learned that the New Zealand pop star Lorde (who I’m all obsessed with now) is officially big in the States. Lorde‘s single Royal just knocked Miley‘s hit Wrecking Ball off the iTunes #1 spot.

This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Smoking causes various morbidity and mortality chronic bronchitis, cerebral stroke, ischemic heart disease, laryngeal cancer, low birth rate, lung cancer, and so on (Suzuki et al., 2005). According to the tobacco control state highlights, 2010, smoking is one of the most preventable causes of death and diseases in the US. In Singapore, the prevalence of daily smokers, aged 18 to 69 years, was 21.8% in males and 3.5% in females as reported by National Health Survey, 2004. Therefore, encouraging anti-smoking campaign would promote the healthy lives of people. On the other hand, studies suggested that nurses smoke as the same rate as other people of similar age and socio-economic status. (Hughes & Rissel, 1999; Rowe & Macleod Clark, 2000). Nurses are the health-care providers who are mostly in contact with the people and patients and thus they have to be the role model. When nurses are smoking, they will not be able to dissuade the patients from smoking. This will in turn affect the commencement of smoking cessation programs, health promotion program against smoking and so on. As such, it is important to know the beliefs and attitudes of the youth to create effective preventive smoking programs. Upon the results and findings, prevention of smoking and smoking related health problems will be modified and launched properly in the community.
The purpose of this literature review is to determine the students' attitude and beliefs towards smoking, to know the correlation between the knowledge about smoking related diseases and smoking behaviors.
Beliefs and attitude towards smoking
The study of youth's beliefs and behaviours in Malaysia and Thailand suggested that to predict the smoking behaviours among the youth, it is important to know the youth's beliefs about smoking. Parent's behaviour such as approval or disapproval of children's smoking is shown as a good predictor of youth's behaviours.
According to Parkison. et al., 2009, there is another belief called "aesthetic belief" which are like the believe smoking make them look sexy, matured, or cool. This study showed that among males and females youth, males were more likely to think that smoking make them attractive and modern than female were. To sum up, males have higher positive aesthetic beliefs than female both in Malaysia and Thailand.
In addition, the studied also did review on the antismoking media and beliefs about smoking among the youth of Malaysia and Thailand. They suggested that antismoking media will play an important role to change the beliefs about smoking among the youth. The more the exposure to the information on the harmful effect of smoking, the less positive beliefs towards smoking will be (Parkison et al., 2009)
According to the study done by Clark, et al., 2004, the persons who smoke are less likely to show strong attitude towards supporting the rights of non-smokers than those who do not smoke. Some of the studies reviewed by Pericas et al., 2009 also showed that non-smokers supported the tobacco restriction laws than the smokers did (Clark et al., 2004 & Rigotti et al., 2003).
When there is a lesser degree of positive attitude towards smoking, the attitude towards smoking can be changed as well. This is one of the factors that we can look into in order to dissuade youths from smoking or persuade smoking cessation.
Knowledge about smoking related risks
It is always important to find out the correlation between the knowledge about harmful effect of smoking and smokers' behaviors. A study done by Clark. et al., 2001 in an Australian university, has shown that the level of specialized knowledge about smoking related diseases were high in those who quitted smoking than those who were the current smokers and non-smokers.
There was minimal association between levels of knowledge and attitudes about being sensitive to smoking-related health risks. It is stated after some articles and studies are reviewed and resulted as there is no significant difference in knowledge about consequences of smoking between smokers and non-smokers. Knowledge about the effects of smoking is not related to attitudes about the habit in nursing students (Clark. et al., 2004). It is also said that knowledge of a smoker on health risk was not helpful in quitting (Morrell et al., 2008).
In the nationwide survey study done in Japan about smoking, it was concluded knowing the consequence of smoking did not stop the smokers from smoking (Suzuki. et al., 2005).
If a person has knowledge about the consequences of doing something, he or she tends not to do that. However, the above findings showed that there is not significant relation between knowledge and the students' smoking habits or the smokers have more knowledge about smoking related diseases. These findings are explained by Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance in the study done by Clark et al., 2004 and the study done by Pericas et al., 2009.
According to Festinger's theory 1957, an individual needs to have coherence in their beliefs. If there is an incongruent belief within oneself, he or she will try to maintain coherence or consonance. Cognitive dissonance occurs when there is a psychological stress caused by the incoherence of beliefs within oneself. For instance, it happens when knowing that smoking is harmful to the people around as well as oneself believing that smoking is harmful and at the same time feeling that smoking helps him or her relax. Cognitive dissonance results in making a person to ignore or think less about the harmful effect of smoking. In the future, anti-smoking programs can be modified based on this finding especially cognitive dissonance.
It has been shown that patient are less likely to take advice to quit smoking from health care professionals who smoke and more likely to take advice from those who do not smoke.
Those who smoke are less likely to advocate the smoking cessation; and thus awareness on smoking should be targeted or greatly emphasize on the primary healthcare providers (Pericas, 2009).
To conclude, there is a need for nursing students so as to encourage effective anti-smoking behaviors since before they go out to the work place. The more we put effort towards anti-smoking, the lower the prevalence will be and hence will promote the professional standard to create a healthier and better community.

CD Projekt Red, the developer of the critically acclaimed game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” has announced that they will be releasing an official mod editor for the game. The mod editor will allow players to modify several aspects of the game to their own liking. This is great news for fans of the game who have been eagerly waiting for an official mod editor.
According to the official announcement, the mod editor will be released soon, although no specific date has been given yet. The mod editor will be available for free and will be compatible with the PC version of the game.
The mod editor will enable gamers to modify the looks and feel of in-game objects, while the possibility of substituting meshes allows to insert new models in the game world in place of existing ones. Finally, access to script files opens up an entirely new array or modification options to many in-game aspects, so modders can fire up their imagination and fiddle with item statistics and much more.
This is not the first time that CD Projekt Red has released a mod editor for one of their games. They previously released a mod editor for “The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings,” which was well-received by the gaming community.
The release of an official mod editor for “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” is a great move by CD Projekt Red, as it will allow players to create their own content and extend the life of the game. It will be interesting to see what kind of mods the community comes up with once the mod editor is released.
Stay tuned for more updates.

For U.S. politicians, civil rights leaders, celebrities and business leaders with a connection to Nelson Mandela, there’s no more prestigious way to pay their respects at his memorial than to arrive in South Africa on Air Force One with President Barack Obama.
The health-care website’s improved performance has both U.S. political parties shifting strategies, with President Barack Obama’s team preparing a January advertising blitz and a wave of celebrity promotions to boost enrollment, allies said.
U.S. budget negotiators plan to work this weekend from a shrinking menu of options to ease automatic spending cuts for as little as one year amid objections from some groups and lawmakers, said people familiar with the talks.

Finite to fail, but infinite to venture – Emily Dickinson
I can hardly quite believe it myself. I’ve been blogging the Forget-me-Not Cultivation blog for one whole year, where has that time gone? Very quickly I can tell you.
Back to the future
It’s been the most fantastic year of blogging for me. When I began this blog I really only had two ideas in mind; one was to keep my Life Ticket accountable by making sure I achieved things off my list and the other was to make as many people enjoy growing veggies as much as I do.
However the blog has always been much bigger than that,
The first ever blog post discussed my protest march in London, where I was shown first hand how important it is to stand up for your beliefs.
As the year has gone on I’ve learnt all about habits, grown many varieties of chillies, photographed everything from a Lego dinner to a JRT portrait and lost 2.5 stone in weight.
I’ve examined my thoughts on nuclear power, what it means to live a life more simple and asked about recycling rates with my local council and others.
My biggest passion, in my own garden, has been to try and show how easy it is to have a go at growing veg, in any space. Like growing runner beans, or making gardening easier because we all live in such busy times.
My blog has also been to document my own growing adventures into self-sufficiency all the good and the difficult stuff along the way.
And through it all, you have been along with me, reading as I go which makes this blog even more extra special in my eyes.
Along the journey I’ve connected with so many people, not only through my blog, but other like-minded bloggers too and it’s been really nice to talk about jogging, or weeds, or why writing can be so hard.
When I started my blog I didn’t actually (as stupid as it now seems) envisage connecting with anyone as it was just an outlet for my ideas, my challenges, my frustrations and my life experiences.
Turns out though that other people like what I write and I like what they write and suddenly I’m connecting with some pretty dedicated, artistic, hard working people which I thoroughly enjoy. Thank you.
Here are a few photographs taken along the way…
WordPress informs me that since starting to blog back on the 24th October 2012, Forget-me-Not Cultivation blog has had:
- 9635 views
- Over 800 comments
- 270 people follow the blog
- My highest view on any post, in a single day was 224 views
- It’s been viewed around the world in 62 different countries
I’m rather impressed and over the moon that so many people want to read my muse.
Stepping up and tweaking
Of course now that the all important first year is out the way I think it’s fair to say I like blogging and I’ve learnt a hell of a lot. Not just about blogging itself but how my ideas and thoughts and processes around the blog have developed as it’s moved on. And move on it shall.
I’m going to start tweaking bits of the blog.
One important area that I failed to take notice of when I started blogging about gardening and growing your own was that nature and wildlife in the garden play a huge (I mean humongous) part of the space we have to call our own.
In fact I realised that you don’t even need to grow any type of fruit, vegetable or herb to make a strong difference in the world – there are other ways of making an impact – like growing trees, or feeding the birds.
So I’m going to expand the blog out a little more and focus on wildlife gardening as well. This includes blogging about our garden and all the wildlife related adventures that happen throughout the year.
I need to learn a lot more about things like wild flowers and the bird calls in our garden but I’m looking forward to finding out and I’m on a quest to make my garden as wildlife friendly as it possibly can be.
In fact I’m so avid about this area I’ve created a new page (at the top of the blog) called the Pledge of Good, which may or may not sound corny – I’m not sure.
Anyway, this pledge is to let you know what I want this blog to focus on – it’s core messages if you like, and who it’s for, well you and me of course.
In the next 12 months I’m hoping to get a lot more creative writing done, understand more about habits and get a few more things ticked off my Life Ticket.
I hope you join me along the way to share in the new changes, and more than anything I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks ever so much for reading this blog, you guys ROCK! 🙂
Congregations Sophie and well done you inspire me each time I read a post might comment but always like because I some time stuck for words to say
That’s okay Linda, I know you read my blog and it’s great to have you along. I am pleased you like it so much – it means a lot 🙂
happy anniversary! 🙂
Thank you very much 🙂
What an impressive list of accomplishments for only one year! I look forward to hearing more about wildflowers. I used to belong to the Georgia Native Plant Society here, and go on plant rescues, but haven’t done that in a while.
Thank you, I am trying to achieve which isn’t always as easy as it looks but it keeps me moving forever forward! What did the plant rescues involve? I would imagine with Georgia having quite a warm climate you’d have some really variety over there?
Thank you 🙂

My massage at Suwadivi was by far the best massage I had in Sri Lanka. My masseuse managed to find all my sore areas and did a great job at loosening them up. As other reviewers have mentioned, it was comparable to having a massage back home. Because I was staying at the guesthouse they offered my a discounted rate however I felt the massage was so good I decided to pay the full amount anyway. It was worth every rupee!
Even better is their guest room - definitely the cosiest place I've ever stayed. The couple who own Suwadivi are so lovely and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Only one room to stay in so get there quickly! Fantastic central location in between the town and train station with breakfast and hot water.

EN 61000-3-3 "Electromagnetic compatibility, Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker in public low-voltage supply systems, for equipment with rated current ≤ 16 A per phase" contains definitions which prevent mains voltage from varying too drastically at equipment connection points due to device load changes.
This serves to avoid impermissible interference of other consumers connected to the same mains supply. For luminaires with incandescent lamps of up to 1,000 W input power, luminaires with discharge lamps of up to 600 W input power as well as LED luminaires of up to 200 W input power, no further measurements are required by this norm, since compliance with the thresholds is assumed. In lighting installations, power can generally be assumed to be relatively low and constant, and to not generate significant voltage fluctuations or flicker. Professional event lighting (theatre, disco) is an exception, since it features great power and rapid power changes (flashing light in discos).

Life hasn`t been too kind to her so far, and she deserves a loving home. A fenced-in yard would benefit her, too. She`s not a fan of farm animals, chickens in particular. She just needs to be fed separately from the other dogs - she can be protective of her food. Walker Hounds are even-tempered and get along well with people and other dogs. They are energetic and love to nest and cuddle. Getting a hound out of bed, off a couch or away from a fireplace will be a feat in itself. They love to sleep after a long day and are the perfect companion dogs for watching television. They are easy to train and make excellent pets if well exercised. Get acquainted with this dog off leash in one of our family run areas. Most dogs will need to run off some energy before they settle down and get acquainted with you. Thanks!

The Protestant Reformation was a cultural and political change that splintered the Catholic Church in Europe. Reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. The person that had the most responsibility for this rebellion is Martin Luther. People agreed with his beliefs against the catholic church and they followed him. The Protestant Reformation affected people a lot by either unifying them or dividing them. The Protestant Reformation unified the people by the printing press which unified the people with their ideas, everybody had the same ideas and beliefs against the church’s practices, and they became more intellectual and literate …show more content…
Knowledge, literacy, and their intellectuality expanded ever since the protestant reformation happened. The people that were against the catholic church began thinking for themselves and making better decisions. They agreed on decisions which involved unifying together. For example in the document “People and the Reformation” it states, “The meeting had eventually produced a friendly partnership within Protestant ranks while strengthening the emperor’s position against the threat of Roman Catholic forces”. In other words, this excerpt states that they withheld meetings to make their own decisions to improve the protestant reformation. They would improve it by strengthening the emperor’s position against the threat of the Roman Catholic forces. They united together to defend themselves and the emperor against the Roman Catholic forces. Their right to think for themselves resulted in something else too. In the document it states that, “As the Reformation changed forward, contentions inside of the protestant development changed, prompting lawful hearing. The two side (Luther and Zwingli) were to discover concession to fourteen purposes of argument”. This meant that as they began developing lawful hearing began. They were thinking for themselves and their knowledge expanded. They gained the privilege of being independent by just unifying together and their knowledge, intellectuality, and literacy expanding. Afterwards, even the emperors or princes who were with the protestant reformation were literate and intellectual enough to make their own decisions. In the document, “Growing Protest Towards Reform and the Internal Dispute” it states, “and in the meantime the princes moved to advance Protestantism under the privilege of independent action.” It states that because of independent action they were able to advance and make better development to

The Protestant Reformation had a huge impact in all Europe in the sixteen century, but which ones were the factors that lead to it? It is very important to highlight that the European Christianity was falling into a noticeable corruption of its popes and some other high position members. Robbery, and even warriors were among of some factors that took the Cristian Church to a declining path. One of these examples was the Pope Julius II, which one won the nickname “the warrior pope” because he led armies against people. Furthermore, the church was not the only factor promoting this reformation, some other social changes were occurring with the masses in Europe; many of the peasants were being free especially in the western Europe.
During the sixteenth century, the Protestant Reformation began due to the use of the printing press to spread new religious ideas, the corruption of the clergy, and the Church’s practice of the sale of indulgences. The printing press was used to spread new
The Protestant Reformation was a movement that spread throughout Europe, in which started in 1517. The Reformation affected Europe politically and socially. Feelings leading up to the Reformation were very religious, and very much full of disrespect. In document 2, written by Martin Luther in the 95 Theses, many people were very bitter of the church’s idea of “the money box.
In the sixteenth century of Europe, religious reform and changes led people away from the Catholic Church. From Martin Luther’s exposition of the church’s corruption to King Henry VIII’s Act of Supremacy, these two religious figures broke away from the Catholic Church in favor of alternative religions. Their lives were heavily involved in their personal and political motives to change the church’s religious practices and beliefs. In the German states, Martin Luther realized that the priests were often unqualified, immoral, and corrupted.
Historians argue that there were many causes of the Protestant Reformation, but there was one main issue that instigated its formation. Economically, resentment of the Church’s wealth and taxes influenced the drive for reformation and particularly, other European leaders. In the same respect, the Church’s growing political authority and push for power troubled such leaders. Despite the perceived supreme power of the Church in Europe, the religious affairs and corruption amongst the Church’s leaders were more important causes of the reformation. An increased disdain and mistrust of the Church dominated the opinion of the public and further supported the idea of reformation.
He translated the Bible into German, which made it more accessible to ordinary people, and he developed a new theology that emphasized the importance of faith and grace over good works. • Other reformers, such as John Calvin and Huldrych Zwingli, also played important roles in the Reformation. Calvin, a French theologian, developed a new form of Protestantism that emphasized the idea of predestination, which held that God had already determined who would be saved and who would be damned. Zwingli, a Swiss reformer, was particularly influential in the development of the Reformed tradition, which emphasized the importance of individual conscience and the authority of the Bible. • The Reformation had significant political and social consequences.
(Syllabus, 25). These two theses show the fraudulence that was occurring in the church, especially the Pope giving people “a key to heaven” if they were to purchase in indulgence. To sum up, Martin Luther helped spread the Protestant Reformation in order for a better and more fair, religious experience
The true instigation for the Reformation came from the people of England. They knew what they were fighting for and did not shy away from the consequences of exile. Also, as shown earlier, these people were mostly made up of the youth of England. O’Day moved on to further detract from the image of Henry as a great reformer. “But Henry himself, doctrinally a Catholic and sharing little with the early Protestants other than a dislike of the power of Rome, was unlikely to remain content for long with such limited approbation.”
The Protestant and English reformation were both reforms that took place in the 16th century against the Roman Catholic Church. Comparatively these reformations are alike and different in some sense. For example, Two leaders led these reforms and went against the church’s beliefs for different purposes. For personal reasons , King Henry VIII went against the church, whereas Martin Luther knew the church could not offer him salvation amongst other reasons. Before becoming a monk, Martin Luther was once a law student .
The Reformation was a time in Europe in the 1500s in which people questioned the beliefs of the Catholic Church. There were many changes made by the catholic church. The people that were responsible were Martin Luther, John Calvin and King Henry VIII. The Protestant Reformation of 16th century Europe was primarily the result of three men and their disagreements with the Catholic Church; Martin Luther, John Calvin, and King Henry VIII forever changed the religious landscape of Europe.
Luther believed that salvation was achieved by the grace of god and not by doing the work that the church demanded. The Reformation was so much more than a religious revolution even though it started out with a religious nature, it exceeded pass religion.
Plan of Investigation This investigation seeks to identify the qualities and characteristics of Martin Luther, which are truly indicative of The Protestant Reformation in Europe. The body of the investigation describes the significant events in the life of Martin Luther, that impacted the era. The specific characteristics that he exhibited will be identified, examined and analyzed. During the Protestant Reformation society started to question the ideas of the church. Reformers started to expose the church for their acts such as the selling of indulgences, insisting that the Pope had no authority over purgatory and much more.
Theses lead to the division of the Christian Church and the establishment of sects such as Lutheranism and Protestantism; but it would not have had such a strong impact if it were not for the printing press. The printing press allowed for Luther’s ideas to spread to every corner of Europe and be widely accessible to all
The Protestant Reformation: An Ununited Cry for Change The Protestant Reformation was an outbreak of resentment toward the Catholic Church in Europe starting in 1517. Catalyzing this era of reform was a man named Martin Luther, as he posted his Ninety-five Theses on the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The Ninety-five

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been a multitude of changes that have occurred all throughout the United States. The USA has seen immense growth in many areas, and it has experienced faults in numerous other sectors of society; however, it is certainly on an upswing on an international scale. Of the numerous entities that are burgeoning throughout the United States, travel is certainly among the top.
Top Airports in the USA
The travel industry throughout the nation has been becoming increasingly better, and this has been evidenced in its numerous top-tier airports. As the United States grows even further in the 21st century, we will continue to see its various airports grow throughout numerous facets.
LaGuardia International Airport
The United States’ largest metropolitan area is New York City, and this city has truly become a beacon of innovation within the modern era. New York has grown in numerous fields, and one of the most significant ways has been in its commitment to rebuilding its infrastructure; one of the largest projects has been the reconstruction of LaGuardia International Airport.
LaGuardia has been one of the worst airports in the New York area for decades; however, there is a resurgence in the growth of this infrastructure project with the $8 billion renovation that is currently underway. The airport has redeveloped Terminals C and D and they are currently in the process of expanding the parking garage and the roadways around the airport to create a more seamless experience for travelers as well.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
While New York City may be the biggest metropolis, the second biggest state in the nation by population, Texas, has also seen immense airport infrastructure growth in recent years. The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is an excellent example of this growth, as it has increased innovation all throughout in recent years.
They have recently implemented ‘smart glass’ in the airport, which regulates temperature and the amount of sunlight that is let into the airport. Along with these innovations, they have made life easier for flyers with the implementation of the DFW airport parking service that allows passengers to park their cars quicker and more efficiently.
Portland International Airport
One of the most impressive airports on the west coast of the USA is the Portland International Airport. This airport is home to more than 90% of air travel within Oregon, and has received a myriad of top honors throughout the past decade. One such honor has been Travel + Leisure Magazine’s reader poll for the best US airport, and was ranked as the top airport for business travelers by J.D. Power and Associates in 2015, 2016, and 2019. Many of the top additions to the airport include a movie theater and a distillery with a retail location that makes for a home-away-from-home experience for travelers.
As the 21st century continues, air travel will become an even greater aspect of our society. The United States understands this and has begun growing its airport infrastructure. Learning about the numerous incredible airports throughout the nation will allow you to recognize the importance of air travel in the USA in the future.

I really like doing these favorites doodles. They give me an excuse to draw things that make me happy! I'm certainly not the first to do it - I got the idea from beauty guru YouTubers who do their monthly favorites, but I know some really awesome illustrators do it as well: Fran, Karolina, and Lily being some of them. :)
Here's mine for the month of August! Yes, most of them were Disney-related. I went on a super fun trip to Disney World with some friends and had a fantastic time. Blog post on that later!
- Beet Margarita from the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT Loved how sweet/planty(?) this tasted! And it also marked the the first drink of the day when we attempted to drink around the world in EPCOT. One of the most fun days of the trip, we were extremely giggly and delirious (but not too sloppy) and ended with an amazing steak dinner at the Canadian pavilion.
- Disney World! Ugh, I can't get enough! Not only is it cute/fun/magical but I'm obsessed with the attention to detail in the parks, from the attractions to the theming to the customer service. And going with a bunch of friends made it all the more better!
- Trash Can Ornament Vinny and I usually buy a Christmas ornament on every trip we take and this one just cracked me up so much. It's a model of the trash cans by the "It's a Small World" ride in Magic Kingdom. They have ones of most of the Magic Kingdom "lands" but this one was the cutest, IMO.
- Pacifica Sea Foam Face Cleanser I'm very picky with facial cleansers and it's really hard to find them in travel size, but this one did a great job on our trip! Super gentle and smells so nice. It was a part of a travel gift set I got in Target.
- Nike Roshe Runs These served me well on an 12+hour-a-day 8-day trip to Disney. They are not so white anymore sadly. :(
- 6-Color Pen from Urban Outfitters. I found it in clearance for $2. I used to be obsessed with these (and still am, as an adult who buys too many pens).

Greg Leding, both D-Fayetteville, should resign if they are "unwilling or unable to represent the interests of Fayetteville" by opposing a plan to place the city in south Arkansas' 4th Congressional District.
Clark opposes House Bill 1836, a congressional redistricting plan that would extend an arm from the 4th District to encompass Fayetteville. He has said Fayetteville should remain in the 3rd District with Bentonville, Rogers and Springdale. The 4th District includes Pine Bluff, Hot Springs and Texarkana, Clark has said the cities in the 3rd District are marketed as one economic entity. The bill is scheduled for a vote on the House floor today.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has been approved for use in the UK, with roll out planned for early next week, becoming the first Western country to approve a vaccine.
The UK’s independent health regulator has approved the vaccine, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19.
The UK has ordered 40 million doses of the vaccine – enough for 20 million people, with two shots each.
Around 10m doses should be available soon, with the first doses arriving in the UK in the coming days.
There will be three modes of vaccine delivery in the UK; via hospitals, vaccine centres, and community rollouts via pharmacists and GPs.
Health minister Matt Hancock told Sky News: “We’re the first country in the world to have a clinically authorised vaccine to roll out.”
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees. Hancock said the caveat proposed some challenges, “but NHS stands by. It’s not easy but we’ve got those plans in place.”
The UK government has a priority list for vaccinating people against coronavirus. First in line for a vaccine are care home residents and carers, followed by older age groups from 80-plus-year-olds, going down to 65-plus-year-olds. Then adults with underlying health conditions, then 50-plus-year-olds, going down the age bands.
Last week the government urged the health regulator to approve the Astrazeneca-Oxford vaccine for emergency supply. The Astrazeneca-Oxford vaccine does not have to be stored at minute 70 degrees, and would therefore be less challenging to roll out.
The Astrazeneca-Oxford vaccine is 70 per cent effective against the virus after a first jab, and moves up to 90 per cent upon having a second jab.

SPECIALTY FABRIC CLEANER
High Tech Fabric Cleaner For Vapor Barrier Fabrics
Such as Gore-Tex® and BreatheTex®
INSURE OPTIMUM BREATHABILITY IN VAPOR BARRIER
Moisture barrier fabrics were placed in turnout
gear to help dissipate moisture and expel heat to keep the fire fighter
cooler and more comfortable by allowing perspiration vapor to escape the
garment and preventing water from penetrating to the skin.
Perspiration salts, skin oils, dirt and hydrocarbons
block the micro-pores of these fabrics and hinder the benefits of using
barrier fabrics as liners. In order to restore the qualities of these fabrics,
a cleaning system had to be designed to pass through the micro-pores, flush
out all the trapped soils and oils, and still rinse residue free.
SPECIALTY FABRIC CLEANER is an extremely wet concentration
of chelates, surfactants and sequestriants designed specifically to rinse
away all the residues and hydrocarbons without leaving any “soap” residue
which could impair the integrity of the fabric. SPECIALTY FABRIC
CLEANER is a safe, effective combination of wetting agents and surface
Remove hydrocarbon residues, smoke particulates, perspiration salts, skin
oils and simple dirt and grime.
Keep the fire fighter cooler by allowing the fabric to “breathe” more easily.
Clean all high tech and barrier fabrics such as GORE-TEX® and BreatheTex®.
Return the garment to its original protective efficiency.
“Increase comfort and endurance. Keep all
barrier fabrics clean and functional with SPECIALTY FABRIC CLEANER!”
SPECIALTY FABRIC CLEANER may be used in a conventional washing machine
or may be used by hand in a wash basin or tub and may be used on all types
of washable fabrics when used following package instructions and garment
WINSOL SPECIALTY FABRIC CLEANER will safely and effectively rinse perspiration
salts, oils and residues completely from all types of breathable fabrics
when used according to manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the product.

This pom pom sweater has been my savior these past few weeks as the temperature rarely went above 0 degrees. Oh the joys of living in New Hampshire. If you too are living somewhere where it is freezing cold then I suggest you make yourself a cute pom pom sweater to stay warm!
All you need to make this sweater is some yarn and a sweater, might I suggest re-purposing an old one?
The fun thing about this pom pom sweater, besides the fact that it is covered in pom poms, is that you can choose what color pom poms you want to put on your sweater. You can also make jumbo poms or itty bitty ones if you want to be a little less obvious.
Pom pom maker (optional)
Pom pom maker (optional)
How to make this pom pom sweater:
1. Start by finding some yarn for your pom poms. Next, take your pom pom maker and wrap the yarn around one side of the maker. The more you wrap the thicker your pom pom will be so if you want really thick pom poms then wrap the yarn around it a bunch. Once you are satisfied with the amount of yarn you wrapped, do the same thing on the other side of the pom pom maker.
2. Taking your scissors, cut down the middle of the yarn on both sides of the pom pom maker.
3. Cut off a long strand of yarn and securely tie it through the center of your pom pom maker. You can now take your pom pom off of the maker and give the pom pom a trim to even out the yarn. For easier tying abilities keep the strand of yarn you tied around the middle long.
4. Make as many pom poms as you want for your sweater by repeating steps 1-3.
5. Once all of your pom poms are created you can tie them onto your sweater. Taking the needle, thread it with one of the long strands from your pom pom that you used to tie the middle. Place the pom pom on the front of the sweater where you want it to go. Bring the threaded needle through to the other side of the sweater. Do this with the second long strand of yarn. On the inside of the sweater, tie both of those strands together. Cut off any excess yarn. Repeat with the rest of your pom poms.
If you don not own a pom pom maker follow these steps to make a pom pom:
1. Take your yarn and either using a piece of cardboard or just your hands, wrap the yarn around it about 20-30 times, depending on how thick you want your pom pom to be.
2. Gently take the yarn off of your hand or piece of cardboard and cut off another strand of yarn to tie around the middle. Tie it securely.
3. Fluff out your pom pom and cut off any uneven strands, be sure to keep the strands you used to tie the middle long.
4. Refer to step 5 above to attach your pom poms to your sweater

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-leptin axis and metabolic health: a systems approach to resilience, robustness and control
Glucocorticoids contribute to obesity and metabolic syndrome; however, the mechanisms are unclear, and prognostic measures are unavailable. A systems level understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-leptin axis may reveal novel insights. Eighteen obese premenopausal women provided blood samples every 10 min over 24 h, which were assayed for cortisol, adrenocorticotropin releasing hormone (ACTH) and leptin. A published personalized HPA systems model was extended to incorporate leptin, yielding three parameters: (i) cortisol inhibitory feedback signalling, (ii) ACTH-adrenal signalling, and (iii) leptin-cortisol antagonism. We investigated associations between these parameters and metabolic risk profiles: fat and lean body mass (LBM; using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), and insulin resistance. Decreased cortisol inhibitory feedback signalling was significantly associated with greater fat (kg; p = 0.01) and insulin resistance (p = 0.03) but not LBM. Leptin significantly antagonized cortisol dynamics in eight women, who exhibited significantly lower 24 h mean leptin levels, LBM and higher ACTH-adrenal signalling nocturnally (all p 0.05), compared with women without antagonism. Traditional neuroendocrine measures did not predict metabolic health, whereas a dynamic systems approach revealed that lower central inhibitory cortisol feedback signalling was significantly associated with greater metabolic risk. While exploratory, leptin-cortisol antagonism may reflect a 'neuroendocrine starvation' response.

Response inhibition is a primary executive control function that allows the withholding of inappropriate responses, and requires appropriate perception of the external environment to achieve a behavioral goal. It remains unclear, however, how response inhibition is achieved when goal-relevant information involves perceptual uncertainty. Twenty-six human participants of both sexes performed a go/no-go task where visually presented random-dot motion stimuli involved perceptual uncertainties. The right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) was involved in response inhibition, and the middle temporal (MT) region showed greater activity when dot motions involved less uncertainty. A neocortical temporal region in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) specifically showed greater activity during response inhibition in more perceptually certain trials. In this STS region, activity was greater when response inhibition was successful than when it failed. Directional effective connectivity analysis revealed that, in more coherent trials, the MT and STS regions showed enhanced connectivity to the rIFC, whereas in less coherent trials, the signal direction was reversed. These results suggest that a reversible fronto-temporal functional network guides response inhibition and perceptual decision-making under perceptual uncertainty, and in this network, perceptual information in the MT is converted to control information in the rIFC via STS, enabling achievement of response inhibition.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Response inhibition refers to withholding inappropriate behavior and is important for achieving goals. Often, however, decision must be made based on limited environmental evidence. We showed that successful response inhibition is guided by a neocortical temporal region that plays a hub role in converting perceived information coded in a posterior temporal region to control information coded in the PFC. Interestingly, when a perceived stimulus becomes more uncertain, the PFC supplements stimulus encoding in the temporal regions. Our results highlight fronto-temporal mechanisms of response inhibition in which conversion of stimulus-control information is regulated based on the uncertainty of environmental evidence.

Actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor share a great bond. From dancing together to cracking jokes, people are well aware of their bromance. Ranveer’s quirky fashion choices have always become a topic of discussion and sometimes people can’t figure out how to react. As the actor is busy with the promotions of his upcoming film, Gully Boy, he shared his picture in an orange-black bold print outfit by designer Masaba Gupta. Just like us, even Arjun couldn’t stop himself from commenting and the result is too funny.
As soon as Ranveer shared the picture on the social networking site Instagram, his Gunday co-star wrote, “Narangi Mausambi Wala.”
Check out the post:
Arjun is the ultimate troller of Bollywood as earlier; he also posted a funny comment on Katrina Kaif’s picture. The actor shares good rapport with many Bollywood stars. He is currently in the limelight for his rumoured relationship with Malaika Arora. Both of them are frequently spotted together which indicated that there is something more than friendship between them. Speculations were rife that they are also planning to tie the knot. However, both of them rubbished these reports.
He is occupied with the work of Panipat. The movie also features Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt.
On a related note, Ranveer will be seen sharing the screen space with Alia Bhatt in Gully Boy. The movie has a special screening at the Berlin Film Festival. It is directed by Zoya Akhtar. Talking about Ranveer and Alia, Zoya earlier said, “I am sure a lot of people want to pair Alia and Ranveer. We wrote the part with Alia in mind and Ranveer in mind. So there was no question and we loved that they both said yes.”
Gully Boy is all set to hit the screens on February 14.


Modesto police arrested two people in a prostitution sting Thursday at a massage parlor operating in a building owned by City Councilman Mani Grewal.
Officers conducted the undercover operation at Asian Filipina Massage at 614 Scenic Drive. The business is leasing an office in the building from Grewal and has been open about a month. The operation came as The Modesto Bee was working on a story after receiving complaints about the business. Police Lt. Rigo De Alba said the city also received complaints and was conducting its own investigation independent of the newspaper.
Sgt. Joe Bottoms identified those arrested as Afamefuna Odiwe, 33, and Romela Hidalgo, 41. He said Odiwe is the business owner, and Hidalgo the manager. The two were in custody as of Friday morning, according to the Stanislaus County Jail website. The website shows Odiwe faces charges of human trafficking and malicious mischief. His bail is set at $515,000. Hidalgo faces charges of solicitation of prostitution and pandering. Her bail is set at $35,000.
Grewal praised the police for conducting the sting. He said he asked an attorney to start eviction proceedings against Odiwe before the sting after he received complaints about the business. As officers were at Asian Filipina Massage on Thursday, a man posted a notice at the business saying Odiwe had 14 days to leave the premises for creating a nuisance and for illegal use. The notice said Odiwe faced legal proceedings to evict him if he did not leave within the two weeks.

Police sent in an undercover officer to get a massage at Asian Filipina Massage and another massage business. The police have recordings of the officer’s conversations with the women.
Grewal questioned why the city transferred the business licenses for Odiwe and Hidalgo to operate in his building when there apparently were red flags about Asian Filipina Massage when it operated last year at another location. Grewal provided copies of the licenses. City officials have refused to provide the copies to the newspaper. Grewal said he wants the city to do a better job with massage businesses it suspects of wrongdoing.
Grewal said he and his property manager did not know about any problems until after Odiwe signed the lease. Grewal said a background check of Odiwe came back clean. In interviews before the sting, Grewal said he and his property manager started investigating the business when neighbors complained. Those complaints included a Google Plus account that features sexually suggestive advertisements for the business.
For instance, the caption for a scantily dressed woman doing the splits says: “Can your girlfriend do this honey!?!? Walk in and see me today. My schedule is really FLEXIBLE!” Grewal said when he questioned Odiwe about this, Odiwe told him: “That’s just advertising. That’s how I advertise. Based on what I’ve already told you, I’m not doing anything illegal.”
Hidalgo and Odiwe declined to comment as they were being arrested Thursday outside of Asian Filipina Massage. But Odiwe did confirm his conversation with Grewal, and police said the two denied the allegations against them.
Grewal said he also grew concerned when he saw Odiwe’s and Hidalgo’s business licenses. The licenses are for foot massages, but the lease agreement said Odiwe planned to use the office for massage therapy. Grewal said he did not think of verifying the licenses before signing the lease. He said he owns several buildings with dozens of tenants and has never had a problem like this.
Deputy City Manager Joe Lopez said Asian Filipina Massage’s licenses were issued under an exemption to the city’s massage regulations for businesses that provide treatment — including reflexology — that requires minimal touching to clients who are fully dressed.
Asian Filipina Massage operated in a Burney Street building last year. The Google Plus account includes sexually suggestive photos and captions from that time. The Burney landlord took Odiwe to court to evict him for violating the lease.
Arturo Portillo said he was leasing space to Odiwe for a boutique selling lingerie and accessories. But he said Odiwe opened a massage parlor, in violation of the lease. He said the front door was kept locked and customers came and went from a rear entrance. But the court ruled Odiwe had violated the lease because he painted the building pink without permission.
Police in June cited an Asian Filipina Massage employee when the business was on Burney Street on suspicion of violating the city’s municipal code by working as a massage therapist without a California Massage Therapy Council certificate. A manager was cited on suspicion of violating the municipal code by letting the employee work without the certificate and for failing to keep records on clients and massage therapists.
Court records show the employee pleaded no contest to not having a certificate, and the manager pleaded no contest to failing to keep records. The employee and manager were not among those arrested Thursday.
Lt. De Alba said Modesto police rarely do these types of undercover operations. He said the unit that used to handle them has been disbanded. The Modesto Narcotics Enforcement Team carried out Thursday’s sting with help from Homeland Security Investigations, which provided officials who speak Mandarin, Cantonese and Tagalog. They also provided an advocate who helps human trafficking victims.
Sgt. Bottoms, who supervises MNET, said his team plans on conducting more prostitution stings. De Alba said police were concerned about Asian Filipina Massage because Odiwe would sit in his car outside of the business, which the lieutenant said is a red flag for police. Besides Hildago, officers found other women in the business. De Alba said one of them is a human trafficking victim.
The police also conducted a prostitution sting Thursday at Northern Relaxing Spa at 606 13th St. Police said they arrested Ping Gan, 48, on suspicion of prostitution and suspicion of violating the municipal code by working as message therapist without a California Massage Therapy Council certificate. The business’s manager, Suping Zhang, who also is 48, was cited on suspicion of violating municipal code regulations governing massage businesses. Information on who owns the building was not available.
