After years building up their sound, musicians in a North Kirklees band are ready to unleash their debut album.
Dear Friends will release Tales from the Den on January 29, and are throwing an album launch bash the day after in Leeds.
The indie-folk five-piece is made up of old friends aged 26-38, primarily from Birstall, Cleckheaton and Mirfield.
Vocalist and guitarist Karl Sykes, 34, of Mirfield, said: "Some of the songs are about really good friends that have died in the last few years, some are about really good life experiences. Some of them are about nothing – one is a made-up story of a soldier."
Members are keyboard player James Reid, guitarist Chris Parkinson from Cleckheaton, Karl Sykes, drummer Matthew Odell and Birstall bass player Fraser Mann.
They got the keys for their studio space in Batley around 2011 after Karl re-united with Chris, who had been travelling in Australia. But the band began in earnest after Karl – a science teacher at Wakefield City Academy – met multi-talented keyboard player James Reid on a teacher training course.
Karl said: "We've got four-part harmonies. Everybody apart from Matt sings. It's like nothing we've done before. It's really adventurous for us is this. We've previously never attempted to do anything that's as dynamic."
And two songs from the 11-track release feature production work from Mike Heaton and Mickey Dale of British alternative band Embrace.
"It's been really odd because we've been in bands for so long that you don't promote it anymore. With this band we've found people are approaching us. That's been really nice" Karl said.
Dear Friends has been influenced by bands such as Elbow and Fleet Foxes.
People can now hear three tracks from the upcoming album at https://soundcloud.com/dear-friends-1/sets/tales-from-the-den-promo.
Tales from the Den is also available to pre-order from iTunes.
Karl said: "We've had a couple of little EPs out already. We kind of just thought well we're getting old now – let's just write a full album. It was to prove we could do it for ourselves really."
Tickets for the launch gig at the Wardrobe in Leeds, £5, can be bought from www.lunatickets.co.uk

Perth man, 49-year-old, Manther Samardali was sentenced on 24 November 2017 in the District Court of Western Australia to three years and two months' imprisonment for smuggling tobacco into Australia and obstructing a Commonwealth official. Mr Samardali lodged an appeal against his sentence with the WA Court of Appeal on 11 December 2017 resulting in a reduction to his sentence to 18 months imprisonment, to be released after 9 months on a recognisance of $5,000 to be of good behaviour for 9 months.
On 29 January 2016, Mr Samardali, authorised an international freight forwarding company to act as customs broker for imports on behalf of his building company.
On 8 October 2016, Mr Samardali asked the freight forwarding company to arrange border clearance for a shipping container arriving on a vessel from Malaysia. Mr Samardali declared the contents as kitchen cabinets. China was stated to be the country of origin. Mr Samardali paid $2,808.63 in customs duty on the stated contents of the container.
The container landed at the port of Fremantle on 10 October 2016. Australian Border Force officers (ABF) unpacked the shipment and inspected eleven cardboard boxes. Inside each box was a white wooden kitchen cabinet and inside the cabinets' drawers were plastic packets bearing Chinese writing and pictures of mushrooms. Concealed inside each of these plastic packets was a 1kg packet of molasses tobacco. In total, there were 194 1kg packets of tobacco in the container.
In the course of sentencing, Mr Samardali admitted that he had orchestrated the import while on a business trip to China, saying that he intended to give some to business associates, and use some for gatherings with family and friends, and sell the remainder.
As at 10 October 2016, the customs duty payable on 1kg of molasses tobacco was $763.20, and GST payable at 10% of customs duty, was $76.32 per kilogram. Had Mr Samardali obtained possession the tobacco in container, he would have evaded $148,060.80 in customs duty, and $14,856.08 in GST, a total of $162,916.88.
On 21 October 2016, ABF officers executing a search warrant at the Mr Samardali's house in Stirling WA found nine 1kg packets of molasses tobacco hidden in a under a false bottom in a wardrobe and a packet of tobacco that read in Chinese 'green tea king' in a freezer in the garage. In Mr Samardali's home office ABF officers found written in a notebook: 'Get Elena to hide the tobacco in the container'.
During the search, Mr Samardali tried to mislead investigators with a false story about the tobacco being put in his shipping container by mistake and referred to a doctored email trail with the exporter. ABF officers' search of Mr Samardali's computer found a series of emails arranging for the exporter to send emails claiming that 'green tea' was put in the container by mistake, that it was meant to be sent to the 'USA' and not 'AUS', and asking for the goods to be returned.
Mr Samardali was charged with and convicted of:
- 1 count of importing tobacco with the intention of defrauding the revenue, contrary to section 233 BABAD (1) of the Customs Act 1901 (Cth).
- 1 count of possessing tobacco knowing that it was imported with intent to defraud the revenue, contrary to section 233 BABAD (2) of the Customs Act 1901 (Cth).
- 1 count of attempting to hinder a Commonwealth public official, contrary to sections 11.1 (1) and 149.1 (1) of the Criminal Code (Cth).
Mr Samardali lodged an appeal against his sentence with the WA Court of Appeal on 11 December 2017 resulting in a reduction to his sentence to 18 months imprisonment, to be released after 9 months on a recognisance of $5,000 to be of good behaviour for 9 months.

Last Surviving 9/11 Rescue Dog Just Had The Best Day Ever.
Bretagne is the last-known living search and rescue dog that worked at Ground Zero in New York on 9/11. The canine and her human handler Denise Corliss were dispatched from the Texas Task Force 1 and worked with 100 other dogs saving people from the rubble of the World Trade Center.
Last month, Bretagne turned 16 and had a chance to return to New York to celebrate with Corliss. BarkPost threw a birthday party for the old girl which included a suite at 1 Hotel Central Park, a visit to the Hudson River Park and a vintage taxi ride through Times Square. To top it off, Bretagne received a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver bone pendant, toys, and lots of delicious goodies.
Bretagne continues her work as a service dog. She sits and keeps elementary school kids with learning disabilities company while they learn how to read.
Bretagne is a search and rescue dog from the Texas Task Force 1.
Her partner Denise Corliss and her worked tirelessly from a search to a recovery mission at Ground Zero.
New York was their first mission together.
Denise Corliss
"When our task force arrived in Ground Zero, I just couldn't believe the magnitude of it. Then I looked down to her and she seemed stoked and ready to work." - Corliss
A well-deserved birthday party.
In honor of Bretagne, one of the sponsors of the event donated $1000 to the Texas Task Force 1 so that more search and rescue dogs can be trained.
Next, the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

One Marble at a TimeMy husband and I watched a video by Reggie Joiner, featuring a Legacy Jar to represent your child's life. Basically, the video started out showing a jar of marbles. Each marble represented the number of weeks in your child's life from birth to 18 (936 marbles). Then, it showed how many marbles are left at various stages in your child's life after removing one marble per week. It was startling to see just how quickly the marbles began to dwindle.
While the idea of the video is not to freak you out about how much time you're losing before your child moves out, it opened our eyes to just how much time we have left. It made us look back at our childrens' lives to see areas where we missed opportunities and the amount of opportunities we had left.
The overall message of the video and the idea of tracking your child's life via marbles is to begin parenting with intent. Basically, you want each marble removed from the jar to count. Each marble represents an opportunity to create valuable memories with your children through actions and activities that promote morals, values, and relationships. It's the idea that you intentionally spend time, real time, with your children with intentional lessons because time with your children is limited.
Too often we get caught up in life and time just slips by. With the mindset and a visual to see just how much time you have left with your child in your home, you're able to notice more opportunities to spend time with your child. You intentionally take the time to build lasting memories with your child before time runs out.
While I'm sure you don't have nearly 1000 marbles per kid laying around your house, I encourage you to figure out how much time you actually have left to make lasting memories. An easy way to do it is by downloading a the free app, Legacy, which allows you to put in your childrens' birth dates to see the approximate amount of weeks you have until your children turn 18.
If you're anything like us, it will really open your eyes as to how quickly time has gone by, what time is left, and how to use the remaining time.

I'm at the Vienna Café in the United Nations building, nursing a cup of coffee. To my right, a Liberian Ambassador is being interview on the struggle for women's empowerment in her country. State delegations clad in colorful dress drift by en route to their sessions. It's day three of the 55th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Today brings the official launch of UN Women, the UN organization for gender equality and the empowerment of women. I'm here as a delegate for Amnesty International's Women's Human Rights Coordination Group (WHRCG), a newly formed committee responsible for advising AIUSA's Women's Human Rights in order to promote and protect women's human rights around the world.
With the launch of UN Women tonight, an atmosphere of anticipation saturates the hallways and shared spaces. I've encountered genuine enthusiasm and also a cautious optimism in my conversations with delegates, staffers and NGO representatives.
On Tuesday, the first official day of the 55th CSW, I had the pleasure of meeting with Polly Truscott, AI's Deputy Representative to the United Nations. We discussed the issues most pertinent to the WHRCG priorities: I-VAWA, Indigenous Rights,CEDAW, Maternal Mortality and UN Council Resolution 1325. I discovered how AI is playing an important role in the Global Gender Equality Architecture Reform (GEAR) Campaign, a global network of over 300 women's human rights and social justice groups which have been working for five+ years to establish UN Women. Now that UN Women is a reality, GEAR is focused on ensuring that women's rights groups play a role in the future work of UN Women.
Madam Bachelet, former president of Chile and Under-Secretary-General of UN Women has demonstrated real commitment to women's empowerment. Yet there is still critical work to be done. In the corridors, word is out that planning sessions on UN Women's global strategy are happening, but no one is clear which women's groups have been invited to be part of this process. Shouldn't the establishment of UN Women call for a new, collaborative paradigm? Can there be closer consultation with women on the ground, women who are carrying out this work in their communities? Will their voices be heard? In the celebrations of this historic day, let's not lose sight of what really matters: ensuring accountability, efficacy and collaboration from UN Women.
GEAR is calling for UN Women and all other UN agencies to implement an effective system of consultation at national, regional and international levels because women's rights groups and NGO's need to have a voice in the strategic planning process.
UN Women shouldn't be business as usual. Women are waiting.
For those interested in the official UN Women meetings, webcasts can be found at the following link: http://www.unmultimedia.org/tv/webcast/index.html
Get involved in the GEAR campaign! Help build a world that works for all women.
Alisa M. Roadcup, former Stop Violence Against Women Campaign Coordinator for Amnesty International USA and PhD Candidate in International Psychology at The Chicago School for Professional Psychology is a delegate to the UN Commission on the Status of Women this week.

Thomas Jefferson to Jonathan Shoemaker, 26 December 1809
To Jonathan Shoemaker
Monticello Dec. 26. 09.
I have considered your proposition of yesterday to endorse a bill of 500.D. for you to be put into the bank of Richmond & on mature reflection must decline it. I have never carried my name into that bank, & if any thing could have induced me to it, it would have been my own present difficulties. but for a mere farmer to go into a bank for money destroys his credit at once. but the insuperable reason is that, it would be immoral for me to engage to pay 500.D. in 60 days on your failure to do it, when I know that it would be out of my power. it may be said indeed that you will not fail. I am sure you do not mean nor expect to fail in doing it. but circumstances not under your controul may put it out of your power, just as similar circumstances now embarrass your paiments to me. but for me deliberately1 to engage to do a thing in any event which I know it will be out of my power to do, is irreconcileable to my ideas of right. I must therefore pray you to excuse me with the assurances of my esteem & best wishes.

My mother came to visit last week.
She brought me food gifts.
Which, if you didn't know, are the best kinds of gifts.
Farm fresh eggs.
Bacon ends and pieces.
Lettuce and mint from her garden.
Like I said: the best kinds of gifts.
On Cackleberry Plantation. Does it get any better? Well, yes.
I fried some up for breakfast. Eggs on top of mom's lettuce, with raw sauerkraut, strawberries from my local farmer's market and some banana bread with pastured butter on top. Yes, I sometimes eat my food on top of my books. (P.s. It Starts with Food is so good! More on this tomorrow)
The most beautiful yolks I've ever seen!
I've discovered that fresh eggs are one of my favorite foods.
I'm thinking I'll make a point to get some whenever the opportunity presents itself. To me, fresh inherently means "more nutritious." The fresher the better when it comes to eggs, meat…veggies…everything! That's why I like farmer's markets so much.
Do you eat farm fresh eggs when you can? Duck eggs are next on my list…I hear they're Ah-mahzing.

Public execution only kills the rapist, not the problem
The Senate Standing Committee on Interior has proposed an amendment in the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) to publicly hang convicts found guilty of kidnapping, murdering or raping children less than 14 years of age. The Criminal Law Amendment Act 2018, if passed, would amend the PPC's Section 364-A (kidnapping or abducting a person under the age of 14), which currently states,
"Whoever kidnaps or abducts any person under the [age of 14] in order that such person may be murdered or subjected to grievous hurt… or to the lust of any person [sic] shall be punished with death."
If amended, the words "by hanging publicly" would be included in the end.
Law feeds ideology, and the beliefs and values of politicians and rulers determine legal frameworks. If the Senate moves toward public executions, it will be showing a cynical preference for violence and terror as a desperate solution to child abuse and murder rather than something more thoughtful and result-based. This display of violence – the spectre of a limp body hanging from a bridge – is created for public consumption, to instil fear, and as the Interior Minister says, to 'send a strong public message'. It is seen as retributive and having a deterrent effect.
Firstly, it is not retributive. Retributive principles uphold equivalent punishment. However heinous the crime, however deeply it shocks our conscience, a public hanging is not an equivalent punishment. It is premeditated, followed by anticipatory period in jail in poor conditions. Moreover, it degrades human dignity, not just that of the person being hanged, but also that of the viewers. People watching such violent spectacles are reduced to the abstract legal subject of neck-breaking state sanction. The simple act of bearing witness to a vicious display of state power stamps viewers irrevocably with scars of brutal violence. It also normalises such violence. Thus, it cannot be an equivalent punishment as it goes beyond the desired aim of justly punishing the offender.
It may also have negative effects on society, especially children. Rather than being retributive, it resembles revenge killing. And if it is revenge killing and mere symbolism the senators want, then they are seeking to unravel the very basis of a democratic, rule-based society with courts that use principles in sentencing. Then there is nothing stopping us from also assaulting the accused first and then tearing up his body later.
Secondly, we do not know that it will lead to deterrence in crimes against children. No study has been cited by any lawmaker regarding the deterrent effect of a public execution. Most studies from other countries conclude that people are deterred by the prospect of being caught rather than facing the death penalty. Laws are based on sound policy and research. The public execution debate in the Senate appears whimsical and aimed at garnering public support when real solutions are not forthcoming.
Child abuse in Pakistan needs serious remedies based on an array of policy changes in education, labour, health and economy, along with copious amounts of healthy public dialogue about sex and sexual violence, about sexual diseases, reproductive health and physical safety. It needs a real look at the preventative criminal justice system, police practices of tracing missing children, and the politics of a nation where the most vulnerable of society – children – are left unprotected. There has to be categorical consensus on the age of juvenility as under 18 – so that all under this age are free from labour exploitation, sent to school, and protected in the criminal justice system.
There is no shortcut method of exorcising child abuse from our society. Public hanging will cause more damage until institutions for child protection are repaired. Moreover, those who do not trust the criminal justice system as effective should not trust that the actual criminals will be hanged. The mere act of a hanging in public, rather than the premises of a jail, does not magically make the system better or the factually guilty face gallows.
The state and law are ideological instruments in the hands of those in power. This is a state that cannot feed its hungry children. There are growing rates of malnutrition and stunting caused by simple, curable illnesses in childhood. The 'strong message' being sent is that while the state abdicates its responsibility towards citizens, especially the children, to provide universal health care, safe neighbourhoods, nutritious meals in school, quality education, safe drinking water, and ultimately, employment prospects with a living wage, it will use its repressive machinery to publicly hang the errant.
Some progressive lawyers opine that there is no crime in the world that cannot be solved by medication and education. These very aspects are missing in society at large –health and intellect, good public hospitals and education that will build up children, welfare and humanity. A call for public execution is thus analogous to solving hunger with more hunger, settling anger with morbid rage, eliminating rape and murder of children with state-sanctioned murder. It is almost as hollow as solving school shootings in the US with prayers while guns are sold freely.
The fact that we are not a welfare state is not a surprise. It is, however, that we are so easily duped into seeing violence as a solution. We're consenting too easily to the Senate's call for an easy, repugnant and symbolic solution rather than demanding they actually work for real change at the grassroots.
The Senate's effort comes at the heels of the Rao Anwar scandal. It is reported that Anwar was involved in 444 extrajudicial killings, many of these in staged encounters. Secret detentions, harassment of ordinary citizens, torture of political activists are coming to light. With Naqeebullah Mehsud, we are, perhaps, seeing a new dawn where victims are no longer invisible, but named; they had rights, personalities, families and lives. The state seems to have gotten itself into a bind. It can't account for extrajudicial murders of those like Naqeebullah. It doesn't seem to possess the capacity to fix the criminal justice system to ensure people like Zainab's killer are apprehended and prevented from continuing. So, the answer seems to be judicial killing or legislated murder – public, brutal and pornographic display of state power.
Of course, this will isolate us in the world community, deprive us of collateral economic benefits in the globalised economy, and paint us as a rogue nation. We have to accept that we are a liberal nation and have never put ourselves, as lawyers, judges and citizens, behind public executions despite violent ideological messaging and negative portrayals from everywhere. Let's keep up the tradition.

Is there a dragon on the loose in Mr. Venezi's and Stuff?
Mr. Venezi no longer sells pets; he just sells stuff—like walrus toothbrushes and aardvark neckties; the animals are there but not for sale. Sasspants the guinea pig and Hamisher the hamster have also changed careers, and they are trying to decide what to do now that they are no longer detectives. Mr. Venezi isn't close to paying his rent, but he's paying plenty of tongue-tied attention to Charlotte, the owner of the bookstore, which is outgrowing its space. Her daughter, Bree, loves dragons; when Mr. Venezi starts noticing that the merchandise is disappearing and being replaced by piles of money, Bree and the animals decide there's a dragon living in the shop. What will Sasspants and Hamisher do? Who or what is leaving that money? Will Mr. Venezi ever ask Charlotte out? Venable caps her series of graphic novels for young readers with a light mystery readers won't have any trouble solving. As usual, the fun is in the interaction of the characters: clueless Mr. Venezi, enthusiastic Hamisher and the smartest pig in the room—Sasspants. Yue's bright, colorful, expressive panels extend the sly humor (check out the mouse with Princess Leia hair) and boost the giggles.
The happy ending is visible from miles off; fans will reach it and go right back to Book 1. (Graphic fiction. 7-11)

Human contact over disipline
| Dec 05, 2016
Human contact is definitely important. But I dont think lack of it can make you autistic. And kids do need more sleep than adults. Discipline is very important in everyone's life. The big geniuses are usually adults.
| Sep 01, 2016
Shikha Batra your comments are not only patronizing but also simplistic. This is about HUMAN interaction. Lethargy has nothing to do with it. The biggest geniuses in the world sleep less than 6 hours a day and have often not had formal schooling. Edison is a big example.
| Aug 30, 2016
The story could not be finished -- basically thanks to so-called discipline a normal child became autistic because the one human contact he had was snatched away from him. It was his granddad who noticed this and luckily acted in time to pull him out and reestablish the human connect
| Aug 12, 2016
hi Mohini Dwarkadas!how r u! I understand your friend's concerns. definitely it's good that they want to spend some time with the child but due to time constraints they are not able to. but it is also important to understand that frequent complaints and child's lethargy in school would further demotivate her to participate in school activities thereby furthermore complaints from school. it's advisable to make use of weekends to spend quality time with the child or if u must, n flexible timings are allowed then change your work timings and spend time with the child by teaching her, talking to her how her day was, doing activities with her, taking her to the park etc. all these will boost her morale and help her come out of her shell. hope this helps!

Are you feeling expansive, Miss V?
There was no name from the texter, he just presumed I would know who it was.
And by the very use of his vocabulary, I did.
My heart started beating a little faster and I really did not want it to. I placed my hand over it, closed my eyes and willed it to slow down.
Six, five, four three…
I did not want to react to him.
Two, one…
I did not want to feel.
Even so, once I was breathing at not two thousand beats a minutes, I texted back.
I have never felt expansive. I am not in a good mood. And my name is not V.
He immediately got all charming and witty and invited me for dinner.
I immediately refused, not asking him about the other woman he had possibly wanted to settle down with. The one who clearly hadn't worked out because it is a pattern with him. Alone, beautiful woman, alone, let me try another one, alone, let me go back to that one, no, maybe I want to be alone, oh look, another beautiful woman.
And I know, I knew, all that. It was why when we were done, we were done.
Yet my heart was still beating dangerously quickly.
I tucked my phone somewhere deep where I'd never find it again and went for a walk. Put some distance between me and him.
My reaction had astonished me. I'd thought I was totally completely over him.
And I wanted to feel nothing.
Or I wanted to be able to laugh and say god you're an arrogant jerk and bye bye see you in another lifetime.
Block him off my phone forever.
But I knew I couldn't do that.
Because even after all this time, I felt something.
I still feel something.
And I cannot help myself.
It's hard to explain.
Feelings. Passion. Old hurt.
Intense dislike.
They all mix together. They're always there.

SELF's Favorite Female Musicians of 2012
We know, we know: Top 10 lists are as common as hot cocoa and hangovers during holiday season. Still, we can't resist giving props to the women musicians who dominated our playlists this year.
The music scene was gloriously retro: 2012 brought the returns of some of our favorite ladies, who all proved that their talent and energy have not faded over the years. We also got hooked on catchy newcomers who quickly earned their place at the top of our playlists. Check out our top ten, in no particular order, because we just love 'em all.
1. Fiona Apple
Album: The Idler Wheel...
Must-Hear Track: "Every Single Night"
Moody, dark and idiosyncratic, Fiona takes her time making albums--The Idler Wheel came out seven years after her last release. But when she does grace us with new music, it's totally worth the wait. The ingenious musician refuses to bend to anyone's idea of how songs should sound, resulting in fascinating, and sometimes downright weird, music.
2. Grace Potter of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Album: The Lion The Beast The Beat
Must-Hear Track: "Stars"
Whether writing new tunes, cooking up charity partnerships or tasty meals, she's always spot-on. Grace Potter is a versatile singer who can captivate a stadium or serenade a coffee shop, no problem. Her fourth studio album with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals has a sound for every occasion and mood, from sultry to sad and back again. She's a lil bit country, a lil bit rock 'n roll, and a lot of awesome.
3. Gwen Stefani of No Doubt
Album: Push And Shove
Must-Hear Track: "Settle Down"
This hot mama showed us that she's still a kickass performer more than a decade after the last original No Doubt album. The band's music has evolved from their ska roots--thanks to modern touches and a fresh take, the album sounds very 2012, not 1992. The songs range from subdued ballads to club-ready dance tracks, but it's still true to the electric spirit of their early work.
4. Alicia Keys
Album: Girl On Fire
Must-Hear Track: "Not Even The King"
Keys has serious soul, plus the piano and vocal prowess to back it up. Alicia appeals to talent and classiness instead of resorting to gimmicks like many other female artists: With her, it's purely about the music. Her killer performance at the 12-12-12 Sandy benefit concert was one of the reasons why we keep on fallin' for her.
5. Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes
Album: Boys & Girls
Must-Hear Track: "Hang Loose"
In a year when bluesy rock bands like The Black Keys have been dominating the airwaves, Alabama Shakes shows that the genre isn't just a boys' club. Brittany Howard's voice evokes a bygone era while still being contemporary. It's gritty, it's real, and it's totally sway-worthy. Grab some whiskey and turn it up.
6. Christina Aguilera
Album: Lotus
Must-Hear Track: "Blank Page"
The diva is officially back. We love Xtina because she has the big voice to justify her big ego. She somehow found time between bantering with Adam Levine on The Voice to make a sexy album, reiterating why all wannabe popstars on reality TV should definitely heed her advice.
7. Santigold
Album: Master Of My Make-Believe
Must-Hear Track: "Big Mouth"
Dance music doesn't need to be vapid or repetitive. Santigold's songs make you want to move, and her creative beats set her apart from many other electronic-inspired acts. She's a genre-defying, energy-filled artist. Check her out, then add her to your pregaming playlist ASAP.
8. Taylor Swift
Album: Red
Must-Hear Track: "I Knew You Were Trouble"
Her love life might be comically dramatic and convoluted, but at least it gives her fodder for both introspective and sassy lyrics. Even haters can't resist belting out her singles when they come on the radio. And thankfully, the reigning queen of pop-country doesn't seem to be giving up the crown anytime soon.
9. Lana Del Rey
Album: Born To Die
Must-Hear Track: "Blue Jeans"
The pouty singer exploded as an Internet celebrity earlier this year; in just a few months, her pic was plastered on buses for H&M ads. Her deep, velvety vocals on "Video Games" made it clear that she wasn't your average viral YouTube star. She's taken some flack for her glossy, vintage image, but despite the criticisms, you can't deny that her lazy-day, emotive songs are pretty darn good.
10. Regina Spektor
Album: What We Saw From The Cheap Seats
Must-Hear Track: "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)"
The quirky songstress' lyrics and vocal tricks are unexpected and sometimes intentionally nebulous, but they still cut to the root of universal emotions. Regina is a talented noncomformist who will give you a whole new set of fun songs to belt out in the shower. Don't worry, you sound lovely.

Diabetes has become an epidemic, currently afflicting more than 16 million people in the United States. During the last decade more and more people have developed the disease. The American Diabetes Association estimates that every minute at least one person is diagnosed with the disease. Yet there are still those who dismiss it as a trivial affliction. They couldn't be further from the truth.
Diabetes is a systemic disease affecting many different parts of the body, including: feet, eyes, heart, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.
Diabetes is the leading cause of amputation, blindness, heart attack, and kidney failure, and kills one American every three minutes. It is known as the silent killer.
Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death by disease in the United States and early symptoms of the disease occur more often in the feet than any other part of the body.
For those with diabetes, ordinary foot problems, such as ingrown toenails and calluses, can quickly escalate into serious complications. One of every four diabetic patients develops foot problems. Twenty per cent of all diabetic patients who enter U.S. hospitals are admitted for foot problems.
Absorbing 14.5 per cent of all US healthcare dollars; the costs of diabetes is staggering both in terms of human suffering from its complications, as well as monetarily. It is estimated that diabetes robs the U.S. economy of approximately $95 billion in direct medical costs and indirect costs such as lost wages, productivity, and premature mortality.
When diabetes is present, a cut, a scrape or blister can be fatal. The disease is the cause of death for 16,500 Californians annually and results in 5,800 yearly amputations of the lower extremities. Ideal case management of the diabetic patient requires a team approach. The chiropodist, as an integral part of the treatment team, has documented success in the prevention of amputations.
The federal Centers for Disease Control estimates that up to 85 per cent of diabetic foot and leg amputations can be prevented with proper foot care. "Clinicians must promptly identify persons who are at increased risk, take measures both to treat and prevent the recurrence of foot ulcers," the CDC says.
Last year over 1,700 diabetic patients in Ontario has their feet amputated. The distressing thing about this statistic is that 85% of these amputations could have been prevented if these diabetics were under the care of a chiropodist.
If you or a loved one would like honest, competent high quality advice, foot care or custom orthotics then look no further than Dr. John A. Hardy's Toronto foot clinic, Academy Foot and Orthotic Clinics.

Implementing a studio-based flipped classroom in a first year astronomy course
Document Type
Journal Article
The University of Sydney
Edith Cowan Institute for Education Research
Originally published as:Lazendic-Galloway, J., Fitzgerald, M., & McKinnon, D. H. (2017). Implementing a Studio-based Flipped Classroom in a First Year Astronomy Course. International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education (formerly CAL-laborate International), 24(5).
Original available here
We present a case study of the rapid transformation of a first year astronomy unit from a traditional lecture/laboratory teaching approach to an entirely studio-based flipped teaching approach. Our Physics and Astronomy Collaborative Environment (PACE) studios at the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University were designed along the lines of SCALE-UP approach, with the pedagogy adapted to suit our unit. In this paper, we outline the design, early evaluation, and impacts of this transformation. In terms of content knowledge learning gain, we achieved a 0.41 mean gain with a 0.19 standard deviation on a custom hybrid concept inventory, mirroring the high gains seen in other highly interactive physics and astronomy courses. This study shows that a studio-based approach to tertiary introductory astronomy can be viable and successful. We also achieved a significant reduction in overall failure rates from 11-15% between 2012-2014 to 4% in 2015, which we hope is the result of a better student engagement. We will continue to measure effectiveness of our teaching approach and how it reflects on our students' learning gains and success.

How To Create A Simple Macro In Excel 2010
Through Macros you don't need to perform same task or action on same type of data. Macros are the built-in feature of Excel 2010, that enables user to record different tasks and apply them over on some another portion of the data. It works on the back-end, recording each and every mouse click, keystrokes that you do while performing the task. Down the line if you want to done with the task in a same way, you will just have to play the recorded Macro back.
Supposition: We have two worksheets in excel containing records of students; Name, Course, and Marks Obtained.
Now we want to put a formula at E2 and F2 Position to calculate the grade according to the Marks secured and Status of the student respectively. While doing that we will be recording a macro for it to apply the same formula on other worksheet.
To start off with first we need to record a Macro. Navigate to View tab and Click Macros drop down button, and hit Record Macro.
You will reach Record Macro dialog, specify an appropriate name and hot-key for easier access. Hit OK to start recording.
Now in Grade column we will going to put a formula that yields grade secured by the student, according to the marks. In Status column we will add a formula that shows the status of the student according to the Grade secured.
In Grade column at position E2, formula goes like this.
In Status Column at position F2, it would be like this;
The macro recorder running at the back-end recording all the actions, now find the cross symbol at the end of the both (Marks & Status) cells. When you will drag down the cross symbol to the end of the respective columns, the formula will be applied to all corresponding cells.
Now navigate to View tab, click Macros drop down button, and hit Stop Recording.
If you want to apply the macro which contains formula to evaluate Marks and Status on other portion of data or worksheet, go to the next work sheet of student records.
Now Start the macro by either going to Macros drop-down options or by simply pressing hotkey allocated to it (Ctrl+P). you will see that the formula will be immediately applied over the Grade and Status columns.
Using macros can save a lot of time, especially when you've got to deal with huge amount of data by creating formula for the specific portion, applying conditional formatting, adjustment of cells, selection of specific piece of data, etc.

Specialized Corrective Chiropractic Care
First and foremost, we want to let you know that the corrective chiropractic care you'll receive at Align Health & Wellness is very, very UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT. When you compare the care strategies in our Chiropractic Office to most other Chiropractic Offices in Wayzata, MN (and around the country for that matter) you'll begin to see and understand exactly what we're talking about…and it's even more evident when you compare our doctors to medical doctors.
We Get Results Where Others May Fail
It is what we do DIFFERENTLY that gets the results where others may fail concerning your health and getting your life back. Through CORRECTIVE chiropractic at Align, we begin with a very thorough patient examination (x-rays included if needed) and report of our findings to create a care plan that's unique to each individual. Our patient care begins with management of the current issue and at the same time addresses correcting the underlying chronic problems most people didn't even know they had.
One reason the health and well-being of the public suffers today is that most people do not truly understand what health really is. Therefore that which they believe cannot possibly be true, and that which they do for their health cannot completely work. By understanding what health truly is, you can create an individualized wellness philosophy and identify the correct lifestyle approach.
Why People Choose Align
Initially, most people come to us because they are in pain or discomfort and it is affecting their ability to live their lives to the fullest. We practice corrective chiropractic, by which we identify your unique needs and proceed to manage the current issue by addressing correcting the underlying chronic problem. The techniques we use focus on not only spinal alignment and posture correction, but also tackle long term muscle and ligament damage. In addition, a specific spinal rehabilitation plan is prescribed for you in the office, as well as at home.
A series of spinal adjustments at Align combined with specific bio-structural rehabilitation can virtually stop the degenerative process (arthritis) in its tracks, restore motion, and provide nutrition to the spinal disks. Specific nutritional recommendations for spinal health is discussed with patients as well.
Don't Be Nervous
For those of you who may be nervous to get adjusted or who have had a not so pleasant experience before, you've come to the right place! At Align, our chiropractic technique is safe and comfortable for everyone from 1 week old to 100 years of age.
Once your problem is corrected to its maximum potential, we will teach you how to keep it that way with our focus on "spinal hygiene" exercises and ergonomic tips. Our practice members ultimately enjoy better posture, experience improved range of motion, balance, mobility, vitality, energy, memory and freedom to live a life they love – at every age! Feeling "fine" is definitely different than feeling "great"!
What Modern Medical Doctors Are Saying About Chiropractic
We invite you to contact us or call us at (952) 476-2260 for a complimentary conversation about your health concerns today to see you are a good candidate for our unique type of care.Contact Us Today
Rehab and Exercises
The goal of our rehab exercises is to support chiropractic adjustments by allowing structural change to happen quickly. The exercises serve to stretch and strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine which helps in correcting posture.Learn More
Graston Technique
This technique separates and breaks down collagen cross-links, and splays and stretches connective tissue and muscle fibers to increases skin temperature and facilitate reflex changes in the chronic muscle holding pattern. Our doctors use this treatment for patients to increase the rate and amount of blood flow to and from a target area.Learn More
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology tape, or Rocktape, is fantastic for treating common sports injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis and runner's knee. It also can increase endurance by promoting blood flow during an athletic event.Learn More

Following a flood or escape of water, traditional drying methods are not always the most appropriate techniques for drying the structure of a building.
Injection drying is an alternative option which complements the traditional systems that can be used to accelerate the drying process in many situations. This is achieved by introducing a flow of dry air directly into wet cavities behind walls, floors, ceilings or any other areas where moisture is trapped and inaccessible.
During Injection Drying, holes are drilled to enable pipes to target dry air into wet cavities, collecting moisture & venting it out of the construction, then dry air is forced down into the building construction via a hose system connected to pre drilled holes.
The advantage for property owners
Rainbow utilises turbine technology for their injection drying programme as it is specially designed to address trapped moisture within a construction. This advanced drying technique is unobtrusive and quiet. It avoids the need for costly strip out, removal and reinstatement of building materials such as concrete floors and walls.
By utilising injection drying techniques, major strip out, which can be devastating to property owners and tenants, not to mention very expensive, can often be avoided. The injection drying system can be installed quickly and allows people to continue to use the affected rooms without disruption. This drying regime also often avoids the need for alternative accommodation and costly removal and replacement for insurance companies.
Drying of trapped moisture
Many modern property techniques are complex in their construction. The need to insulate modern day building structures can produce conditions where surface drying techniques are unable to eradicate trapped moisture completely.
In the event of a flood or escape of water, moisture can be forced into insulated areas and cavities of a building structure. In many cases there is no easy path for this moisture to return to the environment.
If left unaddressed the moisture could later migrate to other areas, causing further damage to previously restored or unaffected areas.
This process can sometimes take months before issues start to materialise and problems occur.
A thermal imaging survey is often undertaken to concrete floors to ascertain the location of any underfloor pipes and assist in the marking out of points between pipes to allow the access holes to be drilled.
Providing a cost effective and highly efficient drying process
The injection drying system provides a drying solution that targets trapped moisture within building interfaces including floating floors. To gain access to these areas it is necessary to open paths to remove the trapped moisture. This process often involves drilling into the building construction to enable dry air to be forced through pipes to the affected area. The forced air then collects the the construction leaving the affected area free of moisture and structurally sound.
It is essential that air movement is created throughout the affected area as with all drying techniques, the air is used to carry released moisture away from affected areas. This may require certain elements of the structure to be compromised in order to remove the moisture.
An initial site assessment and scope of works is needed to identify these requirements and in particular care should be taken to avoid damaging service installations, such as electrics and pipes hidden within the cavities.
Thermal imaging surveys can assist in locating these elements and care should also be taken not to damage the DPC of the structure. Once an injection drying system has been installed it is monitored using the vented air quality as a drying guide. As the dry air is forced through the construction, moisture is collected meaning the specific humidity of the vented air is increased.
The %RH of this vented air would also be high when measured. The graphs above are typical of the last days of the drying cycle of a floating floor.
The injection drying system is also very effective when addressing wooden floating floors, dot and dab walls, stud partitions and external wall cavities.
Typically one machine can address 35m2 of concrete floating floor, a typical construction in UK properties. The internal partitions are then created on top of this single slab, and as such a leak can easily migrate through the floor construction and affect other areas on the slab.
Injection drying provides a very robust and credible addition to the portfolio of drying regimes to the Damage Management industry. Its use in UK restoration projects has seen an increase over recent years due to its flexible nature, speed of drying and cost effective programme on many projects where the trapped moisture is inaccessible following water damage.

Our accumulated experiences and relationships affect how we navigate the world, including our current relationships, decisions, and reactions to life events.

I am an active participant in what I view as a collaborative process, working at your pace and focusing on the areas in your life where you are seeking relief or change. I don't believe therapy works with the therapist telling you what to do or not do; I offer thoughts and insight where appropriate and my goal is to help you move through your life with more confidence and ease.

Loss and grief
Relationship difficulties

On November 19, 2018, Jason Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Friant Water Authority, sent the letter below to all Friant Division contractors regarding the organization's plans and next steps for restoring capacity of the Friant-Kern Canal. A PDF of the letter is available here.
November 19, 2018
Dear Friant Division Contractors:
On November 6, Proposition 3 – which would have helped the San Joaquin Valley repair vital water infrastructure, achieve groundwater sustainability, and secure clean drinking water for our most vulnerable communities – did not pass in the statewide general election. In addition to fixing the Friant-Kern Canal, Proposition 3 would have provided hundreds of millions for other Valley-wide water infrastructure, $640 million to help local agencies comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), and $750 million for clean drinking water for disadvantaged communities, many of which are in the San Joaquin Valley.
The measure's failure to pass is a major setback to the Valley and only compounds our water crisis, which will become increasingly evident in the very near future. More acutely for many Friant contractors, it means that a needed source of funding we were hoping would help address critical subsidence-driven damages on the Friant-Kern Canal and restore its as-designed conveyance capacity will be unavailable. Nonetheless, we appreciate our elected officials and civic leaders who fought for Proposition 3 and our Valley, and we are committed to working with them as we move forward to find solutions that will protect our economic and environmental future.
The Friant-Kern Canal is the largest artery for water on the eastside of the Valley. It is part of an economic engine that powers our economy and provides tremendous benefit locally, statewide, and nationally. Ballot initiatives are always a risk but failing to fix the Friant-Kern Canal is not an option for Friant Water Authority, the districts who rely on it, and the communities it supports. As such, Friant Water Authority is moving forward on several fronts regarding repairs to the canal.
Prior to the peak water season deliveries in 2019, Friant Water Authority is scheduled to complete immediate interim repairs on the areas of Friant-Kern Canal most impacted by subsidence. Completing these repairs will increase the carrying capacity of the canal Friant-Kern Canal south of Porterville from Avenue 96 through Road 80 by as much 300 cubic feet per second, which is nearly a 20% increase from the capacity seen over the last few years. Funding for these repairs will come from $7.2 million already provided by the Bureau of Reclamation for this project last year and construction should begin by the end of this year.
Construction work necessary to restore long-term conveyance capacity in the critical areas of the Friant-Kern Canal most impacted by subsidence is scheduled to begin in 2019. These repairs could cost as much as $200 million or more, and there are several options our organization is pursuing to finance the work. The current engineering, design, and permitting efforts are being funded by the Bureau of Reclamation. Additionally, nearly $20 million will be available in October 2019 for canal construction as a result of the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement. This, however, still leaves a significant funding gap to complete the critical long-term repairs. Friant Water Authority is continuing to work with our Federal representatives and the Administration to identify funding sources and financing options, including low-interest loans for infrastructure and other opportunities for cost-sharing.
Far more work is necessary in the Valley than just on the Friant-Kern Canal to support a sustainable water balance. The $750 million from Proposition 3 for water conveyance would have only been a small down payment on the infrastructure needs throughout the Valley to make up for the millions of acre-feet each year being over drafted from groundwater aquifers. Given the stakes, now is not the time to delay action.
Friant Water Authority recognizes the size and stature of the challenges facing all members of the Friant Division as well as districts and growers throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Today we have an opportunity to set aside our minor differences and restore the organizational structure of Friant Water Authority that can best advocate for our collective interests in both Sacramento and Washington, DC. Our members are already discussing several key partnerships with other public water agencies throughout the Valley to jointly consider infrastructure opportunities that can take advantage of storing, conveying, and recharging water whenever it is available. These partnerships will be critical to increasing our water available and reducing the amount of land that will need to be permanently retired as a result of SGMA, the new State groundwater law.
Over the next few months, the Friant Water Authority Board of Directors will be tasked with determining the amount of work to complete on the canal and the ultimate funding sources it will rely on. This will likely require decisions about how to allocate cost among Friant contractors, no matter which path forward is selected.
Despite the disappointing result on Proposition 3, Friant contractors should feel confident that Friant Water Authority is charting a path to restoring the reliability of the Friant-Kern Canal and will continue to advocate for you, your water rights, and your future. We see the need for unity to face the challenges of the Friant Division in the years ahead. You can expect to receive updates on all of these items in the coming weeks and months.
Jason Phillips
Chief Executive Officer

A plant that converts surplus power from wind turbines into energy-dense hydrogen gas started operating in Germany for the first time this week, the companies involved said.
The power-to-gas system, built by Canada-based Hydrogenics, is part of a major effort to make renewable resources into more reliable sources of energy, said E.ON, a German utility that contracted the plant.
The 2-megawatt facility takes advantage of the wind's tendency to blow hardest at times when there isn't a lot of power demand. It uses the excess power from wind turbines to fuel a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen from water, said Daryl Wilson, CEO of Hydrogenics, in an interview.
Energy storage: Hydrogen could help with power storage systems
The plant then feeds the hydrogen gas into natural gas pipelines, where it mixes with natural gas. The "green gas" displaces natural gas, resulting in less fossil fuels used, Wilson said.
The hydrogen-natural gas mix is available for burning in natural gas turbines to generate electricity when needed, so ultimately more power is generated from renewable sources, he said.
E.ON said the plant operated this week as part of a test in which the facility injected hydrogen gas into natural gas pipelines for the first time.
Hydrogen fuel cells: Port of Houston's test trucks handle like golf carts
The plant is the largest of its kind and cost about $2 million, Wilson said.
While the hydrogen storage technology holds promise, it requires a lot of power to produce the hydrogen gas, said Haresh Kamath, program manager for energy storage at the Electric Power Research Institute.
The process is only able to convert about 50 percent of the excess wind into hydrogen, Kamath said.

The Native American tribes known to have originally created dreamcatchers were the Annishnabe, Chippewa and the Ojibwe, sometimes spelled "Ojibway" or "Ojibwa." The use of dreamcatchers later spread among the Cree, Crow, Cochiti, Laguna and Zuni Indian nations.
A dreamcatcher is a circular object intricately spun or woven into a web-like design. Some dreamcatchers are constructed out of lace, a willow branch or grapevine and then decorated with feathers, beads and horsehair, while others were known to have been fashioned out of the umbilical cords of newborn infants. Native Americans believed that dreamcatchers served as protection during slumber. These traditional talismans filtered the good dreams and trapped the bad dreams.

After the Burberry show last week I met one of the models of the moment, 17 year old Ruby Jean Wilson, fresh from the Burberry runway. While the crowds and masses of photographers were all gathered outside the tent I spotted her alone waiting for a driver with her name tag to pick her up. She seemed such a young, sweet, shy and delicate thing, and I wish her all the best with her modeling career, looks like it's going pretty well at the moment as she's becoming a regular this season on the major shows, Ruby is one to watch!
Just wish a had better background and frame for this image but this girl is sweet enough to make up for it, she's wearing a vintage silk blouse and bag by Alexander Wang.

Tony's Story
During a culinary focused journey through the homeland of Tony's ancestors, he happened upon an AirBnB gem called the Little Love Nest. Located off the beaten path on a Chianti vineyard, the nest offered him a quiet, rustic, golden villa of Tuscan dreams. The perfect setting turned serendipitous when he learned that the Nest's owner, Gianni, also owned a company that handles marketing and graphic design: the same professional specialties of his career.
Gianni, the living example of the expressive joy the country is known for, gave Tony a grand tour of his company headquarters. He told Tony that during his business meeting that morning, he and his colleague spent their time sharing delicious food and discussing their dreams, allowing them to focus on what was truly important to each other and to the project itself. Gianni went on to assure him that focus, enthusiasm and graciousness are key if you have a dream that you are committed to.
Tony left Italy inspired and confident about his own hopes of starting a company. Adoration Design allows him the perfect forum to exercise his professional talents with his love of cooking and hosting. He ensures that the people who work with him feel tuned into their own inspiration and set up for professional success, just as he did in Tuscany.
Tony Richardson
Tony is from Western Iowa and has resided in Seattle for fourteen years. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Buena Vista University in 2003. Once the Adoration projects are put to rest, Tony enjoys traveling and camping, playing guitar, cooking, taking photos, helping plants grow, drawing, and sharing good food, good stories, and good times with friends and family.

Jim and Pam are still together. There is hope./
On the rare day that I'm feeling pessimistic about the world or sad about something in my life, I will often stop and think, "Jim and Pam are still married. As long as they're still together, there is hope."
Sometimes I go back and watch their wedding. It brings me such joy.
I miss those characters from The Office more than you could imagine.
