Lorenzo Feliciati
Lorenzo Feliciati's career is split between his role as one of Italy's greatest studio and live professional musicians and his evolving career as one of the contemporary electric bass greats - but what sets him truly apart are his talents as composer, arranger and producer.
For his sixth recording for RareNoiseRecords, following his 2011 solo album Frequent Flyer and subsequent collaborations with vocalist-multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari (Berserk!) and Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin (Twinscapes) as well as two albums with the adventurous jazz-rock band Naked Truth (Shizaru, Ouroboros), the restlessly creative bassist-composer-producer Lorenzo Feliciati followed up by realising his vision in the ambitious and deeply original KOI.
A concept album based on the life of the renowned fish, Koi features former Japan drummer Steve Jansen and current King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto along with pianist Alessandro Gwis, trumpeter Angelo Olivieri, saxophonist Nicola Alesini and a horn section consisting of tenor saxophonist Stan Adams, baritone saxophonist Duilio Ingrosso and bass trombonist Pierluigi Bastioli. A suite-like offering that intersperses mesmerizing ambient interludes with full-blown prog-rock type anthems, Koi brilliantly showcases Feliciati's composerly vision while highlighting his considerable chops on fretted and fretless electric basses.
Now, at the end of 2017, Feliciati has upped the ante again on his latest project, ELEVATOR MAN. A powerhouse recording with echoes of King Crimson, Allan Holdsworth and other Prog Rock icons in its ten tracks, this latest outing by the prolific bassist-composer-arranger features a rotating cast of stellar musicians, including King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, former Holdsworth drummer Chad Wackerman, Swedish guitar shredder Mattias IA Eklundh (of the Jonas Hellborg Trio and Art Metal), Italian progressive metal guitarist Marco Sfogli (currently of the legendary Italian Prog Rock band Premiata Forneria Marconi, aka PFM), trumpeter Cuong Vu and his Naked Truth and Mumpbeak bandmate Roy Powell on distortion-laced clavinet. As well as composing and arranging all the material, Feliciati plays fretted and fretless basses, electric guitar and keyboards on his seventh and most potent recording as a leader to date.

Frequent Flyer Live
Frequent Flyer
Frequent Flyer is the first solo effort for RareNoiseRecords by Italian bass (and guitar!) maestro Lorenzo Feliciati, who is also founder of Jazz-Rock ensemble Naked Truth.
It documents the peregrinations of a restless and ultra-creative music soul, at ease both when innovating and playing the bass - Jaco Pastorious and beyond - when composing and re-arranging classics of Jazz and Progressive Rock (Footprints by Wayne Shorter and Thela Hun Ginjeet by King Crimson spring to mind) and when organising collaborations of the hightest calibre - the list of guests on Frequent Flyer is a who's who of modern instrumental music, from Bob Mintzer to Pat Mastelotto to Cuong Vu to Roy Powell to Patrick Djivas to many other history-making musicians.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Investigators of the Boston Marathon bombings believe they have identified a suspect from security video taken before Monday's blasts killed three people and injured 176 others, a U.S. law enforcement source said on Wednesday.
The source said an official announcement was expected later on Wednesday in what is the first major publicly disclosed break in the investigation.
Investigators of the bombings searched thousands of pieces of evidence from cell phone pictures to shrapnel shards pulled from victims' legs.
Based on shards of metal, fabric, wires and a battery recovered at the scene, the focus turned to whoever may have made bombs in pressure cooker pots and taken them in heavy black nylon bags to the finish line of the world-famous race watched by crowds of spectators.
A stretch of Boston's Boylston Street almost a mile long and blocks around it remained closed as investigators searched for clues in the worst attack on U.S. soil since the hijacked plane strikes of September 11, 2001.
Cities across the United States were on edge after Monday's blasts in Boston. Adding to the nervousness was the announcement that mail containing a suspicious substance addressed to a lawmaker and to President Barack Obama. The FBI said, however, that agents had found no link the attack in Boston.
The blasts at the finish line of Monday's race injured 176 people and killed three: an 8-year old boy, Martin Richard, a 29-year-old woman, Krystle Campbell and a Boston University graduate student who was a Chinese citizen.
Boston University identified the student as Lu Lingzi.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
"Whether it's homegrown, or foreign, we just don't know yet. And so I'm not going to contribute to any speculation on that," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who until January was Massachusetts' senior senator. "It's just hard to believe that a Patriots' Day holiday, which is normally such time of festivities, turned into bloody mayhem."
The FBI was leading the investigation and asking witnesses to submit any photos of the blast site -- which was crowded with tens of thousands of spectators, race staff and volunteers and runners. Many of them have turned in thousands of images, authorities said.
"Probably one of the best ways to get a lead is to go through those images and track down people coming and going with backpacks," said Randy Law, an associate professor of history at Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama and author of "Terrorism: A History."
"It's the needle in the haystack but when you have the resources that the local and federal authorities have, they can go through what I'm sure will be thousands and thousands of photos and hours of videos. You can find something occasionally," Law said.
The head of trauma surgery at Boston Medical Center, which was still treating 19 victims on Wednesday, said his hospital was collecting the shards of metal, plastic, wood and concrete they had pulled from the injured to save for law enforcement inspectors. Other hospitals were doing the same.
"We've taken on large quantities of pieces," Dr. Peter Burke of Boston Medical Center told reporters "We send them to the pathologists and they are available to the police."
Bomb scene pictures produced by the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force and released on Tuesday show the remains of an explosive device including twisted pieces of a metal container, wires, a battery and what appears to be a small circuit board.
One picture shows a few inches of charred wire attached to a small box, and another depicts a half-inch (1.3 cm) nail and a zipper head stained with blood. Another shows a Tenergy-brand battery attached to black and red wires through a broken plastic cap. Several photos show a twisted metal lid with bolts.
The nickel metal hydride battery typically is used by remote-controlled car enthusiasts, said Benjamin Mull, a vice president at Tenergy Corp. The batteries, made in Shenzhen, China, are sold on the internet and in hundreds of outlets.
People at the company "were shocked and appalled" when they learned their battery had been used in the blast, he said.
Security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said instructions for building pressure-cooker bombs similar to the ones used in Boston can be found on the Internet and are relatively primitive.
Pressure cookers had also been discovered in numerous foiled attack plots in both the U.S. and overseas in recent years, including the failed Times Square bombing attempt on May 1, 2010, the officials said.

Welcome to the weekend, friends. What are you up to? Don't be shy, I see you there…your comments make my day.
I'll be taking a note from Audrey with some reading and snacking on tap-I'm craving a good snack board. Hopefully I can get up early enough to make it to the farmer's market, and maybe even swing by Tartine Bakery for some fresh bread in the afternoon. Funny, as I started this I wasn't quite sure what I'd be up to, but I think I have a plan now. Terrific!
Have a wonderful weekend.

By vigorously prosecuting participants in a Palm Beach County marriage-fraud ring, the federal government thinks it is giving notice about the stiff penalties for skirting U.S. immigration laws.
"The point of this has never been to prosecute lower-level people, but to send a message to the community," Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Atkinson says.
But attorney Jack Orsley, who represents alleged marriage-arranger Windolyn "Gay-Gay" Reeves, says he thinks the government ought to be going for the ring's top people and has spent too much time on the little ones.
Orsley said he finds it hard to believe that his client, who intends to turn government witness, or her husband, Claude Joseph, are ringleaders.

Poll Finds Many Americans Believe Cancer Myths
Cancer Information
An American Cancer Society survey finds up to half of Americans mistakenly believe surgery can spread cancer, and more than one in four thinks a cure for cancer already exists but is being held back by a profit-driven industry. Results of the survey are published in the August 1, 2005 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The authors say it shows the American public is significantly ill-informed about cancer, and that most overestimate how much they know.
The medical management of cancer and cancer-related complications, such as pain, has significantly improved over the last three decades, as have survival rates for leading cancers. Still, studies indicate that a patient's own cultural beliefs and understanding of cancer may influence health behavior, such as whether patients get regular screenings and undergo treatment.
Led by Ted Gansler, M.D., M.B.A of the American Cancer Society, researchers conducted a national telephone survey of 957 adults with no history of cancer to assess Americans' understanding of the disease and its management, and identify any demographic characteristics associated with misconceptions. Participants were asked if five misconceptions were true or false.
The authors found only one in four (25 percent) of participants correctly identified all five misconceptions as false. Four in ten (41 percent) of the respondents believed that surgical treatment actually spread cancer in the body and 13 percent said they were unsure whether this was true. Twenty-seven percent believed that there is a cure for cancer available being withheld by the healthcare industry and an additional 14 percent were uncertain. Nineteen percent believed that pain medications were ineffective in treating cancer pain with another 13 percent saying they did not know. Nine in ten (89 percent) correctly disagreed with the statement that "all you need to beat cancer is a positive attitude," but more than one in ten (11 percent) either thought is was true or did not know. A similar percentage (87 percent) correctly disagreed that "cancer is something that cannot be effectively treated," but again, about one in eight (13 percent) either agreed or did not know.
People who were over 65 years, of non-White race, residents of the South, or self-identified as without much or any understanding of cancer were likely to hold more misconceptions. The survey found little relation between people's self-assessment of cancer knowledge and the accuracy of their answers. For four of the five questions, there was no significant difference in prevalence of endorsement of the inaccuracies between the groups who called themselves "very informed," "somewhat informed," or "not very informed." However, those who called themselves "not at all informed" were generally quite accurate when rating their own health literacy.
"These results indicate that public and patient education interventions are most urgently needed in cancer centers, medical practices, and other community organizations that serve large numbers of patients with these 'at risk' demographic characteristics," conclude the authors. - Atlanta 2005/06/27

Professor Martha S. Cooley was named a recipient of the prestigious O. Henry Prize for her short fiction "Mercedes Benz." The story—a meditation on poetry, cars and growing older—originally appeared in the journal A Public Space, where she is a contributing editor, and will be republished in an anthology with the rest of this year's winners.
The story follows in setting and tone her recently published memoir Guesswork: A Reckoning With Loss, which followed her through a year in Italy as she reflects on her aging parents and the loss of friends. Writing for The Wall Street Journal, Diane Cole noted that "through evocative imagery and invocations of the poetry of Eliot, Dickinson and Whitman, [Cooley] reminds us that art can bring solace and clarity to the greatest pain." The New York Times critic Meghan Daum called the book a "splendid and subtle memoir." And the Times' Book Match column called her previous work The Archivist "a layered literary novel about love, grief, mental illness and religion with a middle section told in diary form."
A translator in addition to a writer and professor, Cooley has worked on the English publication of several volumes of Italian fiction and poetry. She divides her time between New York City and a medieval village in Lunigiana, Italy.

Will $5 a month work for music subscriptions when $13 a month failed?
Best Buy, which bought the Napster service last fall, is introducing a new version with a great deal more value than its predecessor.
Now for $5 a month, you receive the right to download any five songs in MP3 format. In addition, you can listen to any of seven million songs anytime, on demand, on your computer.
"We're saying 'Come for the MP3s and stay for Napster,'" said Chris Gorog, the chief executive of Napster.
Until now, Napster charged $12.95 per month to listen to music on a computer. You could download tracks, but all used digital rights management so you couldn't play them if you stopped paying your bills. And you couldn't play them at all on an iPod. The MP3 files in the new service have no such restrictions.
The company also offers a $14.95 service that lets you download songs in a protected format that can be played on some cellphones and portable devices (but not any that most people want to own). So far, the pricing of that service has not changed, but Mr. Gorog said the company wanted to be able to offer consumers the right to use its service on any device for the same $5 a month. The music labels have yet to agree, however.

American Express Dreams of Penguins
Jake Scott has provided American Express with a television commercial connected to the current interest in penguins sparked by The March of the Penguins and spin-offs). Marc and Stephan have a dream to go somewhere everyone isn't. On a beach somewhere in the Southern hemisphere the anorak-wearing photographers set up their Nikon camera on a tripod. They're hoping to catch themselves in the picture with marching penguins in the foreground. Only problem is that by the time they tiptoe to the right spot, hold up their thumbs, and wait for the camera's timer, the penguins have almost marched right out of the picture. And to top it off, one of the photographers thinks he's blinked again. "Long Live Dreams", says American Express, promoting their travel, cards and financial services.
Music for the penguins spot is the first verse of "Maggie May", a traditional sailor's shanty from Liverpool.
Oh, gather round you sailor boys,
And listen to my plea,
'Cause when you've heard it you will pity me.
'Cause I was a Goddamn fool,
In the port of Liverpool,
The first time that I came home from the sea.
The Penguins ad is part of a campaign developed at Ogilvy Worldwide by copywriter Josh Tavlin, art director Marc Klein, and agency producer Dena Lenard.
Media was handled by Carat.
Filming was shot by director Jake Scott via RSA Films with producer Jules Daly, Marjie Abrahams and Fran McGivern and director of photography Alex Barber.

The Iowa Rural Development Council now has two highly-successfully, statewide Rural Summits under its belt. They represent a unique opportunity for The Council to move from more than an information-sharing organization to a resource provider and catalyst for identifying and addressing rural issues.
IRDC developed a plan to bring rural residents together to discuss the challenges and opportunities that currently exist. But rather than simply host an event and invite everyone, the Council extended invitations to a diverse group of communities. There was a catch, though. To attend the community had to bring a three-person team.
In 2017, on a snowy November day in in Jefferson, Iowa, more than 300 rural leaders, elected officials and interested residents from 65 small towns and rural places convened to discuss their collective futures during the first-ever Iowa Rural Summit. They discussed everything from housing to arts and culture to engaging Millenials.
Then over two chilly April days in Grinnell in 2018, the Council did it again. More than 330 individuals and some 70 communities came together for two days of targeted training, networking and capacity-building. This larger venue acknowledged the fact that small towns and rural places are eager to learn from each other the tools to effective rural development.
For more information on the NEXT Iowa Rural Summit or to see how your community can participate, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What's proven?
Traditional methods for treating uterine fibroids__________________________________________________________________________
Myomectomy is a procedure in which uterine fibroids are surgically removed from the uterus. There are both advantages and disadvantages to myomectomy. There are three types of myomectomy: abdominal, laparoscopic, and hysteroscopic.
Abdominal myomectomy: removal of fibroids through an incision in the abdomen, usually a "bikini incision." There is no limit to te size or number of fibroids that can be removed. Abdominal myomectomy is done at a hospital, and women can usually go home within 48 hours. There is less blood loss and better repair of the uterus because the surgeon can actually feel the uterus to find the fibroids, remove them, and repair the uterus after fibroid removal. The disadvantages are the larger incision and longer recovery period (2-6 weeks).
Laparoscopic myomectomy: has the advantage of using several small incisions, which cause less pain and lead to a quicker recovery. The disadvantages are that surgeons cannot feel the fibroids with their hands for removal, and suturing is more difficult and often less precise; however, Dr. Taylor uses the laparoscopic suturing technique pioneered by Dr. Nelson Stringer. Recovery is usually 1-2 weeks.
Hysteroscopic myomectomy:submucous fibroids can often be removed using an instrument called a resectoscope. This instrument goes through the vagina and cervix into the intrauterine cavity to allow the surgeon to remove the fibroids. There are no incisions, the patient goes home the same day, and may return to work in 1-2 days.
Drug Therapy
Before myomectomy, a gynecologist may place you on Lupron™ to shrink the uterine fibroids and make them easier to remove. This drug is known as a GnRH analog. The effectiveness of Lupron™ is considered temporary, as studies show that when the drug is stopped, the fibroids regrow.
GnRH hormones also may cause side effects that mimic menopause, including hot flashes, mood swings, decreased bone density (osteoporosis), and vaginal dryness.
Other drug therapies might include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium), birth control pills, or hormone therapy.
Hysterectomy—the removal of the uterus—is rarely required for the treatment of fibroids. Nevertheless, it can be a reasonable option for women who do not want to remain fertile.
Hysterectomy is the only treatment with a guarantee that there will be no further menstrual bleeding and no recurrence of fibroids.
Some women want to have these guarantees but wish to have as little removed as possible, choose to have a supracervical hysterectomy, a procedure in which the body of the uterus with the fibroids is removed and the cervix and ovaries are left in place. This affords pelvic support and avoids surgical menopause with the need for hormone replacement.
If you have a history of dysplasia (pre-cancerous cells in the cervix), it's better to remove the cervix, such as with a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH).
For more information on laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy compared to other types of hysterectomy, please click here
If you have a prolapse with incontinence with your fibroids, you can have a vaginal hysterectomy with a sling procedure (TVT). Please click here
Endometrial Ablation
A quick, outpatient treatment for heavy bleeding, it is the removal or destruction of the endometrium or lining of the uterus. It does not require hospitalization and most women return to normal activities in a day or two.
Ablation is an alternative to hysterectomy for many women with heavy uterine bleeding and fibroids who wish to avoid major surgery.

Standing out as The Reliable One since 1923.
At OUC, we want you to know we're not just talking the talk when it comes to conservation and sustainability, we're walking the walk. From our Gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified administration and customer service center in downtown Orlando to the environmentally sound power generation equipment at the Stanton Energy Center, we're working hard to protect the environment and our community.
For more than 90 years, we've been committed to reliability, affordability and environmental stewardship. Now we're taking it a step further, closely examining every aspect of our operation in order to find ways to improve our efficiency, performance and service while minimizing our impact on the environment. This winter we will publish our initial Sustainability Report. It will include our findings and benchmarks as well as detail our goals going forward. Look for this report each year to see how OUC is performing as we strive to meet these goals and deliver on our promise to serve our customers and our community.
Below are several of the key studies we're using to establish our plan for the future:
We conducted a greenhouse gas inventory that detailed the various emissions resulting from our operations and recommended ways to lessen or eliminate these gasses. The inventory – which also helped us establish a baseline for determining our overall carbon footprint – found that 98 percent of OUC's CO2 emissions come from the coal-burning units at Stanton Energy Center.
Our recently completed Electric Integrated Resource Plan covered every facet of our organization. This benchmark study – along with the upcoming Sustainability Report – will provide the framework for future renewable energy and demand-side management (DSM) planning to establish carbon reduction goals and metrics.
OUC also developed an Integrated Water Resources Plan, a comprehensive, overarching approach to study conservation options, pursue alternative water supplies and evaluate partnerships with local governments.
We're always suggesting that our customers conduct an energy and water audit in their own homes and businesses to learn about their consumption, how they can reduce their usage and, in turn, their utility bills. Well, we're heeding our own advice.
We recently enlisted Siemens, our energy services partner, to conduct a no-cost, preliminary Energy and Water Audit to determine the efficiency of energy consumption in all our facilities – including power and water plants, chilled water facilities, fleet, warehouses, offices and operations buildings.

Notes from the Activities team meeting held Wednesday 24th March
Venue Awesome Walls climbing centre.
Keith Hampson, Chris Harbut, Andrew Procter, Ken Sever, Caroline McCann, Gareth Williams, Tim Crowther, David Keogh.
Anne Vernon, Phil Santana-Reedy
Keith welcomed Tim Crowther from GMN and David Keogh from GMW to the meeting.
Report from Regional meeting
Keith gave a summary of the points brought up at the meeting.
- The national database for permit holders and assessors is now live. Unfortunately Keith does not have the required rights to upload the data from the county database and although he has asked for them he is still waiting. He also needs to be registered as MAPS (manager of the activity permit scheme).
- In Touch; this is the scheme that replaces home contact. This should be implemented, by all by September. It simplifies the existing scheme and enables leaders relatives to be home contacts. There is an "Emergency what to do" card which Keith handed to those present.
- Swimming rules there now needs to be a NGB qualified life saver on any swimming activity. Since this was implemented there has been an announcement that the rule is being reviewed again.
- It was asked for feedback as to whether there would be any interest in a nation assessors forum. It was agreed that it would be a good idea.
Risk assessment
At the last meeting it agreed that a risk assessment pointers list be drawn up and available on the county website. Keith produced copies that were agreed with some minor alterations.
Winter Skills
The w/e had been another success. It was agreed that we would hold another next year and that a separate meeting would be held to plan it. The planning team will decide on venue etc. A report is on the web and will be in county life.
The planning meeting for this will be at Tim Crowther's house on Monday 26th July at 20:00.
Other workshops / events
The take up has been poor only 1 for the climbing, 3 for T1, 1 for T2, Chris reported that numbers are not known for the kayaking. Sub aqua; Andrew reported that there was one leader from the county on the forthcoming session and 2 others had been on other sessions.
There was some discussion as to why the take up was so low this year. Caroline is to try and get the county leader mailing list, so in future we can go straight to the leaders. As it was thought that county life is not getting the info out.
It was also agreed that an Activities bulletin be produce periodically and sent to that mailing list as well as county life.
The county climbers badge is 7-0 May at Bibby's Farm. It was noted that it is the same date as the Kayak workshop.
Sub aqua
There is to be a general meeting after the forthcoming Sport England snorkelling event to decide the way forward .
Andrew is to be giving a talk to the NW sub aqua regional AGM.
Who should be at these meetings
We discussed who should be at these meeting in view of the generally poor turn out. It was agreed that the minimum was at least one rep from each district and all assessors / instructors from the county. Keith will contact all DCs with a view to getting them to allocate a representative.
It was suggested that each meeting should have a slot for best practice of a specific activity, which would be of interest to all. It was thought that if the meetings were open to all this might help.
Clarify what permits mean
It was agreed that Keith would add to the website a page that explained what a permit was for, i.e. there was confusion as to what the difference between a personal climbing permit and a leadership permit was.
Hill walking consultation for HQ
Neil Wills who is UK Technical Adviser (Hillwalking) has asked for feedback on the permit scheme. It was agreed to have a meeting at GMN HQ for all three GM counties on Wednesday 29th Sept anyone interested in the scheme should attended and voice their views.
Next Meeting
Wednesday 18th October 20:00

...and picking up where we left off...
I laid down an Oleogel couche on Morgan's face and painted merrily away (I would later do some more work to soften the stark lighting and the forms around her mouth).
I used a bristle brush to drag a natural looking hairline onto her forehead.
I Oleogeled Molly's face and painted it too. It looks like I changed the colours dramatically, but it's just my camera settings.
Arms and hands and all that jazz:
Oiled out the hair, above, and painted it, below. A light touch, always using the right brushes for the job, and lots of wiping off.
And now for the coverlet:
And because some people asked, here is my experimental palette:
Way different from my last few projects. Only two colours are repeats and the rest are new. Now, I like the idea of a set palette in theory, but no one palette is enough for me. I'm always playing the field and seeing what other colours have to offer. Maybe one of these days I'll reform my wild ways and settle down with a nice palette and live out my days. Or maybe I'm not capable of that. Maybe my problem is that I'm not in love with a palette, just the idea of that palette. Sigh.
When working out the colour study for this painting I was having a hard time picking my umber, but then I was all, I SHALL USE ALL THREE. My main flesh colour was Cyprus Umber Dark crossed with Ultramarine Blue Green Shade (which is why I put them next to each other on the palette). I used French Sienna or Madder Lake whenever something needed to be yellower or redder. The Green Umber was great in the background, and the Cyprus Burnt Umber Warm was occasionally just the right colour in the flesh tints. Roman Black, by the way, is a great neutralizer for flesh tint, and I think it will be a permanent addition to my palette.
Here's a final pic of the finished painting, "Sisters," 22x14", oil on dibond:
And you know, I am sooper p.o.ed to discover that the little fiddly touch ups I did in Morgan's face dried way darker than they were supposed to. I'm going to have to redo them as soon as I can rein in my colossal rage. But essentially the painting is done. And it was rewarding to do. The thing about painting family and friends, which is what I've been doing exclusively since moving to the Island, is that you have more of an emotional connection with the painting as you work. I got to revisit a lot of old memories while I was working and since Morgan and I were friends at that age when Shit Disturbing becomes your prerogative, it was a fun trip down memory lane on a ten speed bike with a slushie balanced on the handlebars. I thought to myself, Dante G must have experienced something similar in painting his sister. It must have been fun to revisit those happy childhood memories...of racing against each other to write sonnets to a set rhyming scheme formulated by their brother. Gosh, I'm having so much fun just thinking about it I'm weeing myself right now.

Apologies about the yucky toilet backdrop, the bar we were at was candle lit and a bit too dark for outfit pictures, so you get to see the far from wonderful loos, you lucky devils!

Last night's Parks and Recreation started 2 years into the future of Leslie Knope and Pawnee! We got two episodes last night, both great, and the story of episode one ran right into the next episode.
Since we are in the future you see a lot of future technologies. Here the man presenting uses gesture control to control his presentation. So far I love the commentary on how technology changes our lives..
Look at this crazy tablet they have called the Gryzzl Tablet.. It's still a prototype though. The Virtual Assistant seems to get overly aggressive with you.
Episode 2..
Here are some other screenshots of the fictitious holographic tablet technology they're showcasing.

Rest in peace, Baby
2013 June 27
Comments Off on Rest in peace, Baby
Ms Baby died very early in the morning on 16 June 2013.
She was one of our patients.
She was also one of our volunteers.
We came across her about 7 years back. She heard about Pallium India on the radio and called us from her home town which is about 100 kilometers away. We met up soon after. She was in a desperate situation, with severe breathlessness and agonising pain. We were able to take care of the symptoms, while the oncologists from the Regional Cancer Center kept her cancer under check.
Though suffering from her cancer-related symptoms, chemotherapy-induced heart failure, steroid-induced diabetes and a very difficult family situation, she continued to work as a volunteer, sending patients to us, helping patients to get Government grants and making sure that children of our patients got educational support from Pallium India when necessary.
We thank Sr Veronica, Dr Sr Elsa and their team at Fatima Hospital, Thumpa for their loving care to Baby in her last few days.
We are proud to have known you and worked with you, Baby. Rest in peace.
