BBQ, booze, new jokes and modeling...
Another meeting at Jerônimo's house on November 14, 2008. Not many of us attended, but it was a very funny meeting, including tales, new jokes, and the usual BBQ masterly done by Alfredo. We went all night up to 4:00 in the morning. Here's the rooster of the flying officers (standing, left to right): Yours truly, Nei,
Jerônimo (our host), Guto, Alfredo and Bruno.
It was a three-scales journey 'til Jerônimo's place. First stop, Nei's house, where I could check out his Tamiya 1/72 Corsairs in progress. I can't make justice to his paint job through these pics. Just fantastic. Here's his Davenport's F4U-1A. Nei told me he used six different shades to achieve this finish, including heavily thinned mists of greys to smooth everything.
And here's his interpretation of Wilbur Thomas Birdcage, also in 1/72. This one already had the wash applied:
He has also finished this one. Don't ask me the name. I forgot it (apologies to both modelers in the world who have built one):
Second stop, Alfredo's house. The man has gone nuts for Me-109s... He can't explain why. It seems to be something related to Gunze paint fumes. These are his last two Me-109something (1/72, Fine Molds I guess):
Alfredo is also working on a 1/72 Martlet. It is a modified Hasegawa in desert scheme:
And the last stop, at Big Nose J's house. After the excellent BBQ, we had time to talk about models and watch a Mig Productions video. And of course, do the dishes and etc, a rare view:
For some reason, Guto found himself quite confortable in his new rank:
Back to the models, here are some pieces we brought to the meeting:
Guto's "Quero-quero" glider in 1/72 is fully scratchbuilt, and he made the rubber molds for a short production run:
And his Tupy (also in 1/72) is a heavily modified kit (I forgot the brand):
And here is Jerônimo's latest work in progress:
We also checked some new releases from the endless stash of our host:
Don't ask about this one. I was asked for a full photographic report of the meeting:

Unconventional leaders lead their companies to repeatedly create things that people love, but no one expected, especially their competition. Unconventional leaders focus on providing the best products and services, rather than profit, yet they tend to lead the most profitable firms in their industries. They create organizations built on creativity, flexibility and risk-taking that innovate and win. They define their industries and sometimes the way people live. Through their companies, they often lead other firms in terms of technology, customer service, etc. Below are some examples of unconventional leaders. The concepts that they use (and I teach) work across industries, non-profits, NGOs and even national leadership. Therefore, if they can become successful unconventional leaders, so can you!
Steve Jobs – …co-founder of Apple, the company that has changed the way millions of people communicate, learn, etc. Despite having dropped out of college and with no benefit of business education, he became one of the best leaders in modern business history. Conventional management wisdom dictates that companies should focus on what they know. Instead of focusing on computers, which is what Apple knew , under his leadership, Apple expanded into mp3 players, music distribution, cell phones, tablets and retail. As of 2015, Apple is the most valuable company in the US stock market. Thinking different really pays off.
Herb Kelleher – The wacky co-founder of Southwest Airlines, the most innovative airline in the industry with more than 35 years of nonstop profitability. Breaking from conventional wisdom, Herb created a culture that is focused on satisfying employees rather than customers. A sense of humor is one of this company's core values, just like its founder. Herb is a lawyer by trade and had no airline experience when he started the company, which he led for decades of growth and profitability in the money losing airline industry. He demonstrates that often the best leaders come out of left field.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – …former 2 term president of Brazil, who had a 70% approval rating and presided over the transformation of the Brazilian economy. One would think someone who is credited with helping Brazil become one of the fastest growing economies in the world must have business experience. However, Lula was a former leftist labor leader. Conventional wisdom would tell you that such a successful person must have a college degree. However, Lula is a former shoeshiner and has 4th grade education. His ability to think and lead unconventionally made him tremendously successful.
Richard Branson – Despite having dyslexia and dropping out of high school, he has been far more successful than most conventional university educated business leaders. He is the founder and chairman of Virgin Group, a company worth $8 billion with over 400 diverse companies and 50,000 employees. Richard had no managerial experience when he started his company and he has no expertise in most businesses currently owned. By the way, this unconventional leader has a net worth of about $4 billion!
Mark Zuckerberg – Conventional wisdom suggests that a college drop out with no management or marketing experience should not be hired to run a McDonalds. Since that is the description of Mark, he defied conventional wisdom and did even better. He is the founder and CEO of Facebook, a company that has changed the lives of millions. It is worth $75-100 billion, has more than 800 million users and employs more than 2,000 people world wide. If he had stayed in college, the conventional thing to do, he would be earning little and owe a lot in college debt. Instead, he did the unconventional, which has resulted in a net worth of over $7 billion.
Muhammad Yunus – Dr. Yunis did not let his advanced education prevent him from thinking outside the book. He originated the idea of micro-credit to help the poor in Bangladesh. The result is Grameen Bank, a non-profit bank he started, despite having no banking experience. The result is an organization that has reached millions and has a higher loan repayment rate than conventional banks. The micro-credit concept has been applied around the world. For his efforts, Dr. Yunis earned a Nobel Prize. Now the people with decades of banking experience come to him to learn about micro-credit.

The best value business schools in the US are the ones that give you the best return on your investment. Meaning, after you rack up student loans and years of your life, the school will connect you with an employer that will allow you to realize a positive ROI on your investment. Your business professors that analyze case studies and examine real-world business decisions should explain to you why you will get the best return on your investment by attending their college. After all, education is a business.
When you think about how many art students attend a university thinking that they are going to walk out of there with the tools and the knowledge to be the next Picasso or Van Gogh, it is laughable to most business majors that anyone would pay good money to attend one of those institutions. After all, we all know that being an artist is not really considered a legitimate profession and that few artists that every attempt to become something great actually succeed. You are smarter, you are a business major, and nothing is going to stop you from becoming the next Donald Trump. Think again. Right now, having those three letters after your name (MBA) means nothing more than 'Might as well Be an Artist.'
Just like you, all of those artists think that they are different and that they know something that nobody else knows. They think that they have the upper hand and are competitive and that they have the answer. Unless the company that you currently work for is paying for your education, or if your family is independently wealthy, think again. There is no silver bullet to what will become of you after you finish school and then enter what the rest of us call, "the real world."
This is not to say that you should not pursue your dreams or follow your heart. We all know that many adequate business leaders have the best interest of the public in mind. But buyer beware, if your university cannot connect you with a viable employer, you are not special, and you are no different than anyone else, and you will most likely end up in the vast majority of qualified candidates that just can't find a company to work for. You better be the best and you better be very good at what you do both on and off of the court before you decide to enter an industry that you most likely know nothing about.

Pupils at Freshwaters Primary, Harlow, get ready to hit the high notes
FRESHWATERS Primary Academy, Harlow has enhanced its music department with major changes expected to develop student creativity for the future.
A range of new opportunities has been introduced this year.
The school is looking forward to upcoming events that offer diverse challenges including entering the Young Voices Choir competition at the O2 for January 2020. Students are also encouraged to enter a sing-off between smaller groups with the chance to win team prizes.
All Year 4 students will learn to play the recorder with professional tutors overseeing their development.
Modern technology has also been introduced with teacher training aids for non-music teachers, allowing them the ability to engage with students to teach music.
The school has also purchased additional equipment to offer wider opportunities to learn the glockenspiel or the guitar.
Robin Dalton, music lead and Year 6 teacher, said: "Music is a key part of our curriculum with a bigger focus this year. I am excited as suddenly we have lots going on musically for our children. They are really enjoying the extra opportunities to learn new skills and to perform.
"This work is important as research shows that music is a catalyst in developing motor skills and brain development. Learning to play musical instruments benefits children in other areas; it improves memory, the ability to think more independently, boosts self-esteem and confidence and gives them a sense of achievement. That is incredibly important, especially for those with low self-esteem.
"I have been a trumpet player for 24 years, having had my interest sparked in Year 5. I hope some of our children, like me, find a real passion for music that stays with them long into the future."

Mid Grade Review: The Secret Keepers
The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart, illus. by Diana Sudyka (Megan Tingley/Little, Brown, $18.99 hardcover, 512p., ages 9-12, 9780316389556)
Eleven-year-old Reuben Pedley considers himself a "sneaker." While his caring but harried mom works two jobs and still barely manages to support them, Reuben enjoys solitary summer days sneaking around the Lower Downs, the worst neighborhood of New Umbra, a place "as gloomy and run-down as a city could be." One day, Reuben squeezes into the narrowest alley he's ever seen, and climbs to a dangerously high ledge. While holding on for dear life, he finds a beautiful, spherical antique pocket watch lodged in the brick wall. It looks valuable, and Reuben hopes to sell it for enough money to "turn things around for him and his mom."
But Reuben quickly learns the watch has an incredible secret power. He knows he must keep it out of the hands of The Smoke, a "monstrous individual" who unofficially rules the city. Unfortunately, the bands of men who patrol New Umbra, taking payouts and reporting back to The Smoke's representative, are already looking for him. The Smoke wants Reuben's watch, and will do anything to get it. The boy sleuths his way to nearby Point William's historic lighthouse, where he discovers the story behind the centuries-old watch, as well as two unexpected allies in spirited 10-year-old Penny Meyer and her brother, Jack.
Trenton Lee Stewart (the Mysterious Benedict Society series) expertly ratchets up the tension in this wonderful nail-biter of a story, adding danger upon danger as Reuben attempts to outwit The Smoke, put him out of business, and make New Umbra a decent place in which to live again. --Lynn Becker, blogger and host of Book Talk, a monthly online discussion of children's books for SCBWI.
Discover: In this novel, 11-year-old Reuben Pedley finds an antique pocket watch with a powerful secret.

Daruvala joins MP Motorsport for Abu Dhabi GP3 finale
European Formula 3 race-winner and Racing Point Force India Formula 1 junior Jehan Daruvala will join the GP3 Series grid in Abu Dhabi this weekend with MP Motorsport.
The 20-year-old Indian driver finished 10th in his second season in F3 with Carlin, struggling to follow-up his sixth place in the standings the previous year.
Between those two seasons, he tested with MP in the post-season GP3 test but elected to stick with European F3 for 2018.
Daruvala will join the grid for the final race of GP3, before it becomes the FIA F3 Championship.
"After my 2017 [GP3] test, it will be good to gain some more GP3 experience ahead of the 2019 season," said Daruvala.
"I'm happy that MP has given me the opportunity to do so. It's a busy November month for me, adding Abu Dhabi straight after Macau, but that's only good!"
Daruvala will become the seventh driver to compete with MP in GP3 this year. Its two most regular drivers Dorian Boccolacci and Niko Kari both stepped up to the Dutch team's Formula 2 outfit during the season.
Will Palmer left after the first race of the season to follow a career outside of motorsport, while Formula Renault Europcup runner-up Christian Lundgaard joined the team for a one-off outing at Paul Ricard.
Daruvala will join Devlin DeFrancesco and Richard Verschoor in the team for this weekend.

1. Urkerdag 2010, 2. Urkerdag 2009, 3. Urkerdag 2010, 4. People of The Netherlands , about half a century ago
And two picture postcards from my own collection.
Love these old traditional costumes. Thanks for showing!
Love them too... we must keep remembering our tradition and spreading them to the world!
The name 'urk' reminds me of a children's television program. I can't remember whihc one though! I don't think it had anything to do with traditional costumes you described!
I live near Holland Michigan and am making an Urk hat for a friend. Your pictures help to get the details just right. Thanks so much! I grew up regularly seeing Dutch folk costumes from many different provinces. They are all so different and beautiful!
That is so nice to hear Rene ! You can see more Urk costumes on my postcard site: http://www.inoudeansichten.nl/ansichten/g1807-urk.html
Hope that helps too :)
Any research on why some of the kraplaps have black only embroidery and others colored?
Hi Kari, here's a small explanation:
In the late 19th century, the Urker women wore white kraplaps with black embroidered motifs for the Sunday and for special occasions. These were initially large and became smaller in the course of the twentieth century. After 1945, Urker women wore more and more colorful satin kraplaps with colored embroidery, on both weekdays and sundays.

Tips for Choosing the Right Psychologist for You
When you need to make a decision for asking help about your relationships, behaviors or feelings, it is difficult. But to overcome your struggle, you choosing a psychologist should be your first step to overcome your struggle.
How do you know you chose the right psychologist to help you out of your struggle? Therefore, when you choose Psychology Clinic in Dubai for you, you should follow the below-mentioned methods:
- Ask Your Family and Friends
If you know someone who is going to a therapist, a friend or a family member, you ask them did they like the therapy or do they like the therapy sessions. Ask them to get a list of referrals for you from the therapist.
- Go Online
When you search or Google for a psychologist in your city or near you, you will find many names popped out. You have to read their reviews and sort list some names that you like. Don't go for the ones who are trying to sell, rather go for the ones who are telling about their philosophy of working and about their work.
- Gender
When you have decided on choosing a therapist, you should go for your favorite gender with whom you would like to work with. Some people are comfortable to work with males and some likes to work with females. So, it's your personal choice and nothing wrong with it.
- Call Your Shortlisted Psychologist
You should call on the phone as many therapists you can from your shortlist. In some calls, the receptionist will pick up the call, and in some, you will find the therapist. Ask questions about their school, specialty, training, license, and how long they are in the therapy.
- Budget
Now as your shortlist has become too short, so look at the budget. How much each of the doctor charge per session of therapy? So, keep the ones you can afford, the list will come down to two or three. Decide on traveling distances and other things and select one psychologist suits you the best.

Our best friend.
Most trusted companion.
The favourite member of our family.
With their undying love, however, comes the never-ending piles of leftovers in our backyards and gardens.
Sure, there is no denying that being a dog owner is the best thing in the whole world, but let's face it, most of us could do without the little gifts they leave behind.
Who can be annoyed when they look so lovingly at us, snuggle in when we have had a bad day or ensure we too get our daily dose of exercise.
It's no wonder that dog owners are so enamoured by their pets despite the waste factor as recent research by 'Sarah Knapton, Science Editor Researchers has discovered that oxytocin rises in humans and their canine counterparts brain when a dog is gazing at its owner.'
Oxytocin can trigger emotions of unconditional love and protection when parents and children look into each 'other's eyes or embrace, and these findings suggest that owners love their pets in the same way as family members.
Makes sense but still does not negate that there is an unpleasant chore that is attached to being a dog owner. You cannot avoid the fact that if you own a dog, you are also the proud owner of mounds of the undesirable.
If you are tired of squatting and picking, no longer have the time or energy to face the never-ending chore of disposing of dog waste or would instead focus on the more enjoyable aspects of owning a dog, you need our help.
The team of qualified experts at Dog Waste Removal Services have the Poo H Dee in gathering and eliminating the mess of shite and love lumps left abandoned by your fur baby.

BUCHANAN, Grand Bassa – Hundreds of farms in Grand Bassa could receive seed rice from the Ministry of Agriculture, according to the Diahn-Blae Statutory District superintendent, Solomon Grimes Davis. The distribution of rice hinges on the government getting support from donors.
Davis spoke to The Bush Chicken from his office on Wednesday and said he had received information from the Communal Farming Department at the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the upcoming benefit to farmers.
He said over 168 active farms from both Kporkon and Worr Administrative Districts have already been registered to receive the seed rice when the distribution process begins across the district. Moreover, personnel are still in the field registering more communal farm and placing them into categories such as active and inactive farms.
Davis said the distribution of seed rice among farmers in the district and the county at large is welcoming news that will bring relief to farmers.
"To get seed rice has been very tough all over,†he said, noting that the move by the government to distribute seed rice among farmers will encourage more people to venture into the agricultural sector the next farming season.
Davis estimated that communal farms may need about 16 to 18 tons of seeds rice and that many citizens had already begun brushing the farms expecting that the government and international partners would come to their aid in terms of providing seedlings, equipment, and fertilizers.
He believes that once Liberians invest in farming and produce more food, the country can become self-sufficient and there would be no need to import rice from the rest of the world.
At the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the assistant minister for Communal Farming, Ayouba Fofana, confirmed via mobile phone that the ministry had received listings of farmers from seven counties, but said the government did not have enough money to proceed with all seven counties.
"We asked the counties to submit names of communal farms, not individual farms,†he said. "Of the seven counties, they have reduced it to three due to the financial space. They couldn't get the seed rice on time. They couldn't get what they expected, so we should just start from there. We will manage to make it four, but actually from now as I speak to you, we are still negotiating whether Grand Bassa will be part of it.â€
He said by next week, it will become clearer if Grand Bassa will be one of the beneficiaries. However, he pointed out that the government was still seeking more support from donors to ensure that more counties can participate.
"If no way, then they will let us know so that we can tell our people to get prepared for the next season,†Fofana added.

Fish is kind of a staple food in my native place . When we moved to US , what was available was Tilapia and Salmon and that too boneless . We checked around and finally found this fish called Golden Pompana which we figured out is available in many of the Chinese and Indian stores in Dallas and Houston. It comes as whole fish with the bones and we always make it a point to buy whenever we travel to Texas.
This Recipe comes from my Uncle. I love fish a little extra when he cooks..
PS: It is just that I like fish with bones better, you may use this recipe for any type of fish, works really well!!!
Note: My 1 cup is 240 grams/ml, 1 tablespoon -15 grams/ml, 1 teaspoon-5 grams/ ml and 1 kg is 2.2 pounds.
Golden Pompana with bones(sliced into frying pieces) : 1 pound
Kashmiri Red chilli powder ( the less spicy version of the normal red chilli powder but gives a bright red color) -2 heaped tablespoons
You may use normal red chilli powder if you don't have Kashmiri red chilli powder, but reduce the quantity to 1.5 tablespoons as it will be spicier.
Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper Powder – 1 teaspoon
Salt- As required
Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon
Cooking oil( I use coconut oil)- 4 tablespoons
Curry leaves (you may avoid if leaves are not available to you) – 8 to 10 leaves
1.Marinate the fish very well with all the ingredients except oil and keep aside for 10 minutes.
2. Heat 4 tablespoons cooking oil in a heavy bottom pan. Once the oil is hot spread the marinated fish in a single layer and close with a lid. Cook on medium heat until the bottom side is really cooked and slightly crisp.
3.Once the bottom side is done, open the lid and flip each of the fish pieces.
4.Continue to cook on medium heat until this side is also done and slightly crispy. Done! 🙂

The final episode of Season 1, entitled "Thrust Issues," ties up a ton of loose ends - and the ones it doesn't get to (like the ants in Grace Ryan's head), it at least acknowledges as its own laziness. It begins with a depressed Killface still smarting from losing his only friend, and Xander Crews (a.k.a. Barnaby Jones) reclaiming his multi-national company from the evil Stan.
"On Wall Street today," Grace Jones reports, "shares in Crews Industries dropped slightly on word that billionaire tycoon Xander Crews had resumed control of the company after a lengthy and mysterious absence."
At a press conference, Crews snubs his ex-girlfriend and only answers one question from Darcelle Jones of Team Jaguar. "Lemme just say this, Darcelle," Crews says from the podium. "A, they oughta call it Team Foxy. And B, me and Killface being friends is just retarded. And no offense to retards out there - because God knows they're big and strong!"
Back in power, Crews sets out to punish the harrumphing old man who tried to steal his crown. "Xander freakin' Crews! Do you see the big-ass sign out there?" he asks. "Does it say, 'Stan, the big dumb fat jerk liar who tried to steal my company'? No! The building's not tall enough!"
Continuing to tie up storylines nicely (and possibly set them up for season 2), Syn is seen joining the Xtacles. "Hey, is it weird that I wanna f—k Goober?" one Xtacle asks, eyeballing the sexy suit on the new recruit. His friend dismisses it, saying: "Not as bad I wanna f—k new fat Mike! Oh, he's gonna get it!"
Even Phillip makes a return appearance, this time with pickles. "I think I might have left my Zune here. No?" he asks. "It's a little Zune, it's got MP3's on it?"
As it turns out, Phillip is now a billionaire after having sold the Annihilatrix to some Saudis. But he still hasn't cashed the $20 billion cashier's check (made out to cash) that he received. "Gentleman, it has been a pleasure," we see Phillip saying in a flashback. "Here's the key, I will take the check, and bakala-lakala to you too."
After Killface poisons Phillip with a Phi-toxin Collins ("The anal blood-gushing should begin any moment!" he laughs), we learn that Phillip has actually been building up an immunity to Phi-toxin (all that anal bleeding made him lose his weight), but he still gets killed by a bullet from Val the assassin anyway.
It all builds to a thrilling series-conclusion as the show's two competing super-villains arrange to meet at the Annihilatrix. Says Killface: "Crews, I want that key back!" His enemy's response? "Did you just say you want to teabag?"
Fans have barely enough time to ponder where Killface keeps his cell phone (we see it vanish somewhere in the area of the naked monster's butt), before they meet at the Annihilatrix and agree to toss their items to each other. Crews watches his check blow away, and doesn't even throw the key. "I was gonna keep 'em both!" he says angrily. "Go get my billionaire cashier's check!"
After Xander starts up the Annihilatrix ("Xander-by, wait!" Killface screams), the password on the screen is revealed as "Frisky Dingo." Simon gets the last laugh as he pushes the button, much to the dismay of Killface and Xander. Sure, the show ends with the destruction of the world, but there is good news.
"No, it is not the end," promises the [adult swim] website on its Fix page. I don't know where they could possibly take this thing for a 2nd season, but one thing's for sure: After 13 clever, twisted and hilarious episodes from this year, I'd follow 'em anywhere.

Communiqué of the Nigerian Association of Dermatologists following NAD IFE 2018
The Nigerian Association of Dermatologists (NAD) is the umbrella body for all specialists in the care of the skin, hair, nail and sexually transmitted diseases. NAD meets annually to brainstorm on related topical issues.
This year's scientific conference and Annual General Meeting held at the conference centre of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife. The preconference workshop took place on June 26, 2018 with the theme 'Practical Dermatology', where various dermatological procedures were taught, with attendant hands-on sessions in cryotherapy, electrocautery, and appropriate skin biopsy techniques alongside clinicopathological correlation.
The scientific sessions held between June 27-29th, 2018 with enriching plenary and parallel sessions on topical areas of Dermatology which included presentations on papulosquamous diseases; gender related issues in Dermatology; acne and pilosebaceous gland disorders; dermatological point of view on ageing; sexually transmitted infections; and tropical cutaneous infections with specific emphasis on emerging and neglected tropical skin diseases.
Opening ceremony took place on the 28th of June, 2018 with the following in attendance - His Excellency Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola the Executive Governor of Osun State, ably represented by Dr Rafiu Isamotu the Honourable Commissioner for Health, the keynote Speaker, His Excellency Dr Olusegun Mimiko (former Governor of Ondo State) ably represented by Prof Oluwatosin who spoke on the topic 'Skin advocacy: the role of arts, culture and media' with focus on the good and harmful cultural skin practices . A skin care raffle draw also took place with winners getting items such as laptop, android tablet, android phone and other consolation prizes.
The following observations were made:
The disproportionate number of specialist dermatologists in Nigeria with about 81 dermatologists serving a population of 198 million people (ratio of 1:2.4million).
The harmful effects of skin bleaching practices with rising patronage by Nigerians and the unregulated sale and increasing availability of controlled skin bleaching agents.
The identification of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) in dermatologic practices in Nigeria.
The NAD notes with dismay the absence of Dermatologists in the relevant committees saddled with the responsibility of assisting the World health organization (WHO) achieve its goal of reducing and/or eradicating NTD.
Majority of NTD have skin manifestations and close to half can be diagnosed by their characteristic cutaneous features. These cutaneous manifestations are largely responsible for the morbidity, stigmatization, social isolation, and psychosocial impact of these diseases.
The role of the dermatologists in ensuring early and accurate diagnosis, effective management, and eventual control of NTD cannot be over-emphasized, thus if the goal of reducing the burden of NTD is to be achieved, dermatologists must be at the forefront of such programmes
Lack of dermatologic services in rural and sub-urban communities. The dermatologic needs of rural communities in Nigeria have not been met due to the virtual absence of dermatology care in these communities.
*Absence of dermatologic coverage under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Despite the fact that a third of visits to the general practitioner and medical outpatient departments in hospitals are skin related.*
The emergence and re-emergence of infections like leprosy, scabies, leishmaniasis, buruli ulcer, and deep mycoses, as shown in numerous reports by conferees from various zones of the country. The attendant morbidity and increased burden of these diseases on the healthcare system is enormous.
Encourage and train dermatologists and other support staff.
Need to increase interest in dermatology by continuous sensitization of students and residents about the scope and range of the specialty.
To ensure unrelenting advocacy and increased public enlightenment by dermatologists on the menace of skin bleaching.
Government needs to enforce the regulations on the use and illegal sale of skin bleaching/lightening agents.
Dermatologists in collaboration with other medical workers should increase surveillance and reporting of NTD at the Local, State, and Federal levels.
Need for partnership between dermatologists and other relevant stakeholders such as the FMoH, NTBLP and NGO like GLRA, etc, to increase the ease of identification of relevant Skin NTD.
Need for involvement of dermatologists at all stages of programmes targeted at the control, elimination, and/or eradication of NTD, including policy making, programme development, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
Dermatologists to also assist in training competent hands in the identification, diagnosis and management of these diseases.
Increased government and donor funding for disease surveillance, research and treatment protocols for NTD.
Improve access to dermatologic care by rural communities through:
Frequent outreach programs by dermatologists;
Training of general practitioners resident in the communities on the diagnosis and treatment of common skin diseases;
Provision of requisite infrastructure and incentives to enhance dermatologic care in rural areas.
Development of Teledermatologic services;
Government must provide adequate funding to enable the implementation of the above programmes.
Inclusion of dermatologic services in the NHIS.
To increase surveillance and notification of emerging infectious diseases to relevant agencies and encourage data sharing among dermatologists.
NAD appreciates:
His Excellency Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the Executive Governor of Osun state;
His Excellency Dr Olusegun Mimiko the keynote speaker;
His Excellency Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola the Special guest of honour;
The Chief Medical Director of Obafemi Awolowo Teaching Hospitals Complex Ile Ife for hosting us.

Long live the Nigerian Association of Dermatologists
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria

Golf fans thrill at Tiger Woods's fist pump and snicker at Phil Mickelson's weak jump after winning the 2004 Masters, but a wide range exists on the PGA Tour between memorable celebrations and a subtle wave of the hand.
The way players react after wins, amazing hole-outs or making marathon-length putts is driven by personality and magnitude of the moment.
"Maybe a little fist pump from me. I've won three times. I've had three fist pumps," Pat Perez said. "I don't get that excited. I expect to do well. I'm not a big celebration guy. Tiger, that's his deal."
And not everyone should try to imitate it.
"Some guys look great celebrating on 18," J.J. Henry said. "Others, well, it's like, 'You just won the tournament, but next time let's not do that.' But when Tiger does it, it looks cool."
Bill Haas elaborated.
"When he makes a putt and fist pumps, it looks good," Haas said of Woods. "When I make a fist pump, it doesn't look like Tiger's. It's just not me.
"It's also what makes him great. If I had a little more of that in me, I might be a better golfer. But we can't all say, 'I'm going to be this way.'"
Henry agrees.
"You don't practice what you're going to do," he said.
>> Read More: Check out the rest of our Memorial Tournament coverage
Maybe they should, because celebrations can get dangerous. Tony Finau suffered a dislocated ankle running after making a hole-in-one at the Masters par-3 contest last year.
"Typically it's just a wave and you smile," Finau said. "But that's how surprised I was that it went in, that I did something I wouldn't normally do."
Padraig Harrington thinks players should do it more often, minus the injury.
"No matter who you are, you don't win as often as you think you're going to, and it's going to go away, so you better enjoy the ones you get," Harrington said. "I had one tournament early on in my career where after I won I'm sitting in the hotel room at 10 p.m. on Sunday night twiddling my thumbs. That wouldn't happen now."
That's a different kind of celebration, but the point is to enjoy the moment, which is something Memorial Tournament leader Martin Kaymer is working on.
"I'm not the guy who celebrates a lot, which I think is a little bit of a mistake because you don't know the value of the win if you see everything the same," he said. "It doesn't need to be going to Vegas to get drunk, but you need to celebrate the win."
It begins at the course.
"I'm not afraid to throw fist pumps around. I'm an emotional player, so I like to get fired up. That's the most fun part of the game," Keegan Bradley said. "Your demeanor comes through in the good and the bad. You see emotional players might get a little more upset, but they also get more excited and can feed off both of those things."
Kevin Streelman added: "I think it's cool when you can free it up and let it happen. It shows how much it means to you."
But not every player is cut from that same exuberant celebratory cloth, or they intentionally remain stoic to keep their emotions in balance.
"It's the classic where you're more excited on the inside than you show on the outside," Henrik Stenson said, explaining why most players simply acknowledge chip-ins and the like with a nod and subdued wave. "I've got a little fist pump in me, but overall you want to stay as level as possible for your game. Not overly excited by a birdie or totally down after a bogey."
There also is golf protocol to consider — a time and place to celebrate. Or not.
"I remember playing with a guy in the first round at Wentworth who holed a birdie putt at the 12th hole to get back to 5-over-par for the round and he punched the air. And we all go 'Whoa,'" Harrington said.
Paddy prefers saving his most demonstrative moments for when he sticks it to a friend.
"I go crazier when I chip-in or hole a putt to beat Shane Lowry in a chipping contest for 100 euro," Harrington said. "I go mad-dancing around the green screaming, more so than I would in a tournament."
Harrington learned to chill his emotions after making an eagle putt on the final hole to close out Jim Furyk at the Barclays in 2005.
"So I'm celebrating and everybody is happy and I'm panning around and I see Jim and ooh, I feel bad now," he said. "Jim clearly is not jumping for joy. It hit home that someone has just lost this tournament. In general, you try to be respectful in celebration."
Defending Memorial champion Bryson DeChambeau put it this way: "Being a professional, you have to act the right way."
That does not mean DeChambeau won't celebrate. He pumped both arms skyward after making a 12-foot birdie putt to win the Memorial last year.
"That emotional expression is a buildup of a considerable amount of hard work in a long period of time," he said. "It's a buildup all to that one moment that you've prepared for your whole life, and it happens.
"It's possibly one of the most incredible feelings you could ever have in your body, just the endorphins, the dopamine, the release; it's the greatest high you'll possibly ever have."

The 2017 season had very challenging Grape Powdery Mildew conditions at many vineyards on the Central Coast. Crop losses of 80% or greater were observed at some of the most heavily impacted sites. The wet and overcast conditions in the spring were a primary factor leading to the heavy powdery mildew pressure. However, observed infection conditions were not necessarily uniform within regions; some vineyards suffered heavy infections while other nearby vineyards of the same variety had minimal problems which suggests that some control programs were much less effective than others. A constant concern is that powdery mildew can develop resistance to certain classes of fungicides that have a higher risk of such resistance occurring.
The development of resistance in powdery mildew to fungicides has occurred with previous chemistries. Triadimefon, myclobutanil, and fenarimol are examples of earlier fungicides that had delivered useful control of powdery mildew when first released but whose efficacy diminished over time as the organism developed resistance to their particular modes of action (1). To prevent powdery mildew from developing resistance to a particular fungicide it is critical to rotate modes of actions and to follow label rates. Fungicides are categorized into different FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) groups, with products having similar modes of action being classed together. A summary of the FRAC groups and resistance risks is discussed on the UCCE Sonoma County website (2).
The Quinone Outside Inhibitor (QoI) fungicides, also referred to as Strobilurins, were commercialized in the 1990s. They offer control of a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens including Grape Powdery Mildew as well as Grape Downy Mildew. A weakness of the QoI fungicides is that they have a relatively simple mode of action at a single gene site on the chromosomes of their target fungal pathogens; thus they are more susceptible to having resistance develop through gene mutations as compared to fungicides with more complex modes of action. Such resistance to the QoI fungicides has already been observed in many fungal pathogens; a listing compiled by the FRAC in 2012 lists 36 different fungal pathogens of field crops that have shown resistance to the QoI fungicides (3). Grape Powdery Mildew resistance to QoI fungicides has previously been observed in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania as well as other countries (4, 5). A thorough summary of the QoI fungicides and concerns about target fungal pathogens developing resistance is presented in the following article:
www.apsnet.org/edcenter/advanced/topics/Pages/StrobilurinFungicides.aspx (6)
Whether or not a particular population of powdery mildew is resistant to the QoI fungicides can be determined by testing for the presence of the specific gene mutation associated with resistance. Walt Mahaffee and Tara Neill at the USDA Horticultural Crops Research Unit in Corvallis, Oregon have been researching the status of QoI resistance in Grape Powdery Mildew. In support of this current work, powdery mildew samples from 59 vineyard blocks on the Central Coast were submitted for analysis in the summer and early fall of 2017. These samples were taken from sites having visible powdery mildew infections and so should not be considered as being representative of all powdery mildew in the region. Of these 59 samples, only one contained solely Grape Powdery Mildew which was sensitive to the QoI fungicides (non-mutant); this particular sample was taken from a home garden in the city of San Luis Obispo, and so likely had never been exposed to the QoI fungicides. Three samples contained a mix of both resistant and sensitive Grape Powdery Mildew, while the remaining 55 samples contained only QoI-resistant Grape Powdery Mildew. Thus, QoI-resistant Grape Powdery Mildew was observed at 100% of the tested commercial vineyard sites.
The ubiquitous presence of QoI-resistant Grape Powdery Mildew at the particular sites tested may have been an important factor in the relatively severe powdery mildew infections experienced at these sites in 2017. Growers in the region who have experienced similar problems in controlling powdery mildew should review their use of the QoI fungicides, as the survey results suggest a very high likelihood that other vineyards in the region that experienced problems controlling powdery mildew this season may also have powdery mildew populations that have developed resistance to the QoI fungicides.

|100% Grenache
|Maui County
|Harvest Date
|July 19th
|First Release
|2014 Vintage
|107 Cases
|Total Acidity
|0.61 g/L
Estate Grown
Vintage: Early season rain provided good soil moisture for consistent vegetative growth. Weather during bloom was gorgeous which led to great fruit set. Weather for ripening was tremendous – hot days, cool nights, dry trade winds, and relatively low humidity. The result was flavor development, good sugar accumulation, and acidity retention.
Vinification: Meticulously hand harvested before being crushed and destemmed to fermentation bins. After 24 hours of cold soak, 14% of the volume was bled off for saignee for Rose' production. The saignee method increased the skin to juice ratio to boost color and tannin extraction. The Grenache went through 48 more hours of cold soaking with two punchdowns per day before being inoculated with yeast and fermented for seven days to dryness before being drained and pressed. Malo-lactic fermentation completed after a few weeks and SO2 was added after racking off lees. Approx. 8% Syrah was blended to increase color and mouthfeel prior to filtration and bottling.
Estate Grown
Rare—without question. This handcrafted wine carries the essence of a single mountain that pushes like a miracle from the center of the Pacific Ocean. Its layers of flavor, its uniqueness and its complexities are designed by Haleakala.
As demanding as Grenache may be, each year we learn to love it even more. It proves as a constant reminder that there's a lot left to discover. Take your time and pay good attention to this wine and you'll be sure to find its subtle charms… young vines that are just beginning to tell their story.
Estate Grown
I'm that soft spoken person that at first glance just seems shy and unsure of themselves. Except that I am quite certain of who I am, and when I do speak its only to those special people that are worth the time, and the few words I do say are deep and meaningful. Drink me now or sometime within the next 10 years, longer if you have nice conditions for me to hang out in, who knows how interesting I'll become as I grow old! Ideally drinking me within 2 to 3 years would be great, but you can always call my makers up and ask how I'm doing at the moment.

Maryland U.S. Senate Race
Race of the Day
Maryland U.S. Senate
August 29, 2010
65 Days Until Election Day
Status: Democrat Incumbent
2008 Presidential Result: Blue State (East)
Outlook: Safe Democrat
First elected to Congress in the Watergate year of 1974, Democrat Barbara Mikulski is an old school liberal, who moved up to the Senate back in 1986. At that time, there were not nearly as many women in that body as there are now, and at the age of 74, the longest serving female in Congress is expected to easily win a fifth Senate term.
Quite a long list of candidates appear to be on the ballot in both parties this year in Maryland for this office in the upcoming September 14th primary. While Mikulski will easily be re-nominated, her GOP opponent is a bit less certain. Among the candidates, attorney Jim Rutledge has some conservative support, and in a low profile primary, where Tea Party activists can hold sway, may be able to come out on top. However, the candidate with the most establishment support and who would appear to be the most formidable against Mikulski is Dr. Eric Wargotz, who is also a Commissioner in Queen Anne's County.
Wargotz appears to be the only Republican who has been matched up against the incumbent in polling, and a Rasmussen Reports survey from late August surprisingly shows, Mikulksi's lead dropping by nine points over the course of a month. The poll still has the Senator ahead by 16 points, but that would have to be closer than expected.
Time will tell if that poll might be an anomaly or not in regards to any GOP momentum. Wargotz would of course have to win the primary first. If he is nominated, he should be a respectable opponent, but there is really still no evidence at this point to suggest he could win this race. Most of the focus in Maryland this year will be on the race for Governor, and Mikulski, despite her liberalism, is still pretty popular statewide due to her folsky manner.
