Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
of 1958
[p.234] GENERAL REMARKS. -- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (1)
Article 35 is similar to the provisions in the Tokyo Draft (2) laying down that civilians of enemy nationality must be allowed to return to their home country (Article 2), unless they are liable to be mobilized or their departure would threaten the security of the State of residence in some other way (Article 4).
During the Second World War (3) negotiations carried out through diplomatic channels or through the Protecting Powers made it possible to repatriate civilians. This was usually done on a basis of reciprocity, through exchanges. In 1940 British and German women were thus able to return to their own countries, and French and German women who had been interned returned home by way of Switzerland (4). In 1942 more than 2,000 persons were exchanged in this manner. In addition 28,000 Italians from Abyssinia -- women, children, old people and the sick -- were granted permission by Great Britain to return to their home country, this action being taken unilaterally without any condition of reciprocity. In 1943, 1,500 civilians of American and Canadian nationality were exchanged in Mormugao (in the Portuguese colony of Goa) for the same number of Japanese (5). In 1944 further exchanges took place between Germany and the British Empire, some 1,000 people on either side being involved (6). Exchanges concerned exclusively with the diplomatic and consular staff of
the belligerent countries were, moreover, arranged between the majority of the countries taking part in the war (7).
As a rule these repatriations were arranged by the Protecting Powers; but the International Committee of the Red Cross also took a hand when negotiations undertaken by the Protecting Powers seemed unlikely to achieve any result and the Committee was asked to intervene, and also when it felt called upon to make use of its traditional right of initiative in humanitarian matters (8).
[p.235] In the light of the experience thus gained, the International Committee of the Red Cross put forward suggestions which were to a large extent adopted by the Diplomatic Conference in drafting this Article.
1. ' First sentence '
A. ' Principle '. -- People whose right to leave the territory is recognized generally wish to return to their own country. That is not a condition, however, for the word "repatriation" does not appear in the provision; it lays down that they are entitled to leave, but does not say what their destination is to be. A belligerent is therefore also bound to authorize the departure of protected persons who wish to go to a country other than their home country, to a neutral State for example.
The words "who may desire to leave the territory" show quite clearly that the departure of the protected persons concerned will take place only if they wish to leave. The International Committee's original draft laid down that no protected person could be repatriated against his will; the same idea is implicit in the text actually adopted, although it is expressed somewhat differently (9). The point is an important one, for many foreign civilians do not wish to leave a country where they have lived for many years and to which they are attached (10). This principle applies to all protected persons as defined in Article 4
, except for civilian internees whose position is regulated by Article 132
(11). It should be noted that the right to leave the territory is not in any way conditional, so that no one could be prevented from leaving as a measure of reprisals (12).
B. ' Reservation '. -- Belligerents have the right to refuse protected persons permission to leave the territory if their departure is "contrary to the national interests of the State".
[p.236] This reservation is in accordance with a general practice among States, which, as we have already pointed out, have normally refused to repatriate certain classes of civilian, in particular men of an age to bear arms (from 16 to 60 years old) and persons whose departure is regarded as dangerous to the security of the State where they have been residing.
"National interests" is a broader notion than "security considerations" -- the term used in the Tokyo and Stockholm Drafts and rejected by the Diplomatic Conference. With this wording the belligerents may object to someone's departure not only when it would endanger their security but also when the national economy would suffer as a result. The Conference had in mind, in particular, the case of countries of immigration, where the departure of too large a proportion of aliens might prejudice national interests by creating manpower or economic problems, etc. (13)
A great deal is thus left to the discretion of the belligerents, who may be inclined to interpret "national interests" as applying to many different spheres. It is therefore essential for States to safeguard the basic principle by showing moderation and only invoking these reservations when reasons of the utmost urgency so demand. For although internment may be justified as a matter of principle, the same cannot be said of the poor conditions in which civilian aliens have all too often been detained.
2. ' Second sentence -- Procedure '
Applications to leave have to be considered in accordance with "regularly established procedures", which means that there must be procedural safeguards to prevent arbitrary decisions. Belligerent States must therefore specify in advance the conditions under which permission to depart will be granted, and must appoint a responsible authority which will make decisions impartially, as rapidly as possible, and with reasons stated, after the applicant has been given an opportunity of submitting his application and explaining the grounds on which he makes it.
The Convention leaves it to the States concerned to appoint the responsible authority. The discussions at the Diplomatic Conference showed, however, a tendency to prefer an administrative authority, as such an authority is generally regarded as best able to make rapid decisions concerning applications affecting the security of the State (14). [p.237] The main point, however, is not so much to know what authority will be appointed as to be quite certain that each case will be examined objectively and thoroughly and that the rights of the protected person will be fairly weighed against the legitimate interests of the State of residence.
3. ' Third sentence -- Travel facilities '
The Government of the country of residence must allow the protected person who is permitted to leave the territory to provide himself with the necessary funds for his journey and to take with him a "reasonable amount" of his "effects and articles of personal use". The context shows how "a reasonable amount" should be interpreted, for it will only be the personal effects and articles which the protected person can actually carry with him. Bonds and the like and furniture would appear to be excluded, unless special regulations enacted by the Power of residence should be more favourable in this respect.
The provision was necessary because of the various exchange control measures, decrees forbidding the export of capital and other similar bans which are normally enacted when war breaks out. Too strict an application of such measures might in practice lead to the prevention of protected persons from making use of the right to leave, since a journey is bound to require adequate financial or other resources.
For that matter there is nothing to preclude a Power of residence from arranging group travel if it considers its security would be better safeguarded thereby than in the case of individual departures. The restrictive measures in force could then include clauses of exception applying solely to members of these organized parties (15).
The system laid down offers States a choice between an administrative and a judicial procedure and is therefore flexible enough to cover the procedures already in use in different countries. Thus, during the Second World War applications for repatriation were dealt with administratively in certain countries, while other countries set up special courts for aliens.
The Diplomatic Conference made a point of specifying that when the law of a country provided for action through administrative [p.238] channels the task must be entrusted to an administrative board (in French "collège"). The Conference felt that the fate of protected persons ought not to depend on a single official and that they could be more certain of impartiality if the decision were taken by a number of people on a majority vote (16).
Governments are moreover free to entrust appeals to existing courts (by extending the duties and responsibilities of such courts) or to bodies specially set up for that purpose. This paragraph seems to indicate a preference for this type of solution.
The question of rules of procedure -- which may be verbal or written -- is left to the discretion of the Government concerned. The main point is that protected persons should have the widest possible facilities for pleading their cause. Parties to the conflict may therefore go further in this matter than is laid down in Article 35; they might for example set up, in addition to the courts envisaged, an advisory body whose members would be independent persons of standing. This course was adopted by certain States during the Second World War.
This paragraph gives an additional safeguard to protected persons who have not received permission to leave. The obligation to furnish the Protecting Power, on request, with the names of persons who have been refused permission to leave and the reasons for such refusal, will make it possible to provide their families and the authorities in their home country with information concerning the fate of civilians in these circumstances and would thus make it possible to avoid arbitrary action on the part of the Detaining Power. Where the alleged reasons seem inadequate or the procedure adopted does not appear to have been in accordance with the provisions of the Convention the Protecting Power will have cause to intervene (17).
This obligation, however, to notify the names of retained persons and the reasons for retaining them on request is, however, subject to two important reservations. The first is based on the principle of the freedom of the individual: protected persons may particularly desire that the names and place of residence should not be known to the authorities in the home country. The second reservation is based on State interests and allows the Detaining Power to take no action on [p.239] a request for notification when, in certain clearly defined cases, there are legitimate security reasons against it. The Detaining Power, however, could not raise an objection on security grounds -- and this must be stressed -- in order to refuse systematically to reply to questions asked by the Protecting Power.

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in tissue dehydration, lubrication and cellular function. It is produced in the body naturally, however, over time, as with all vitamins and nutrients in the body, the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid diminishes. In fact, the half-life of Hyaluronic Acid in the cartilage is 2-3 weeks, and only 1 day in the skin.
When the decline in hyaluronic acid synthesis begins to happen, you may experience joint discomfort, wrinkles and a tendency to get sick frequently.
When there is a constant supply of Hyaluronic Acid running through your body, you will experience:
· Hyaluronic acid provides a cushion effect between the joints. You are able to move easier and feel less pain.
· Hyaluronic acid provides a "reservoir of water" within the skin. Suddenly, you find you have more elasticity in your skin and it feels softer.
· Hyaluronic acid reduces bacterial infections. Hyaluronic Acid has been found to raise the white cell count in your bloodstream.
Synthovial Seven is the liquid solution of Hyaluronic Acid. Natural oral liquid solutions are absorbed quickly by the body allowing you to notice the effects sooner. For a healthier body, younger looking skin, and comfortable joint movement, try Synthovial Seven, the liquid solution of Hyaluronic Acid.
In fact, hyaluronic acid is found throughout your body, as it forms part of the structural connective tissue that holds together tissues. HA is a fundamental component of the extracellular matrix, which occupies the area between cells. Almost half of the body's HA is located in the collagen of the skin, acting as a moisture-retaining gel. It is also found in the heart, eyes (vitreous humor), joints (synovial fluid), tendons and ligaments. Recent studies have shown that HA even plays an important role in brain development. Synovial fluid replacement therapy has been used for years on horses and horse and human joints with much success. A growing perception of hyaluronic acid based on scientific studies and hyaluronic acid research, is that it is vital in the structural development and natural regeneration processes of the body.
With such a widespread occurrence, it is logical that HA also has multiple functions. Scientific studies have shown that hyaluronic acid improves skin hydration, works as an antioxidant and free-radical scavenger, and stimulates the production of collagen in skin. HA also keeps tissues elastic, protecting joints from repeated stresses. Other studies have shown that hyaluronic acid has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation properties. Ironically, the molecule itself has a short lifespan and must be frequently produced by cells to replace lost hyaluronic acid. With age, the production of HA declines, which may contribute to many of the diseases that are commonly associated with aging.
To take advantage of hyaluronic acid's regenerative properties, doctors and surgeons use the compound in treating a range of disorders. For example, HA is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, combating pain and promoting the production of cartilage and the repair of joint connective tissues. Ultimately, patients not only have a speedier recovery period, but also a more complete range of movement when HA is administered. Studies have shown that the compound significantly improves the outcome for osteoarthritis patients, and is good for joint health in general. In combination, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid have been found to reduce arthritic pain, and reverse cartilage loss in joints. In addition, there are many skin conditions that can be improved by HA, from major skin trauma recovery and burns to bruises. HA is used during eye surgery as well as to treat periodontitis and cardiovascular disorders. The most common application of the compound is in anti-aging therapy, particularly cosmetic procedures such as eliminating skin imperfections and wrinkles.
With such wonderful properties, you may be wondering, is hyaluronic acid for sale? Very few foods and herbs containing hyaluronic acid have been identified, but the compound is present in starchy tubers and meat products rich in connective tissue, such as rooster combs. Reviews of hyaluronic acid supplements and their uptake show that the naturally occurring HA molecule is not easily absorbed from the gut due to its size, and therefore the oral supplements are not as effective as hoped. This is because the larger HA molecule is broken into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules in the digestive tract. There are many HA supplements made to be taken orally, but these have been found to be less effective than injected hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid in the injectible form is available in the popular skin care compounds that are used to reduce wrinkles. Other forms of topical hyaluronic acid serum are also used as anti-wrinkle agents.
However, injecting or taking HA supplements are not the only way to increase hyaluronic acid levels in your body. Overall, eating a diet rich in whole foods, combined with exercise and a healthier lifestyle, and reducing your consumption of processed foods will boost levels of hyaluronic acid throughout the body. It is much better to focus on overall health than on just taking one supplement, so even if you use a HA supplement, strive to live a healthier lifestyle. Remember that the long-living Japanese villagers that were the focus of Primetime's special did not take supplements, but rather had a varied diet of natural foods, combined with a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is likely that the regenerative processes in the body are less likely to be triggered by supplements than by natural foods.

Temporary Counsel Fees in Divorce
Temporary Counsel Fees in Divorce
A divorce decree can facilitate an enforcement order, establish rights for both the parties, award custody and enable visitation rights, grant alimony, and distribute property between the parties. Considering the nature of divorce cases and the work involved in obtaining divorce, legal fees often differ from case to case, as well as from city to city, state to state, and law firm to law firm. Preliminary meetings with counsel usually do not involve laborious effort, and usually amount to sorting the factual details. Courts take consideration of the parties' ability to pay counsel fees before awarding fees. Despite the diversity in statutes, courts apply general principles and carefully analyze the parties' financial status before awarding costs.
Counsel offer varying kinds of services to the divorce client. They can include basic fees for filing the case, monthly or yearly retainers, individual case retainers, payment arrangements, flat fees for uncontested proceedings, minimum fees for specific parts of the case, expert fees, hourly fees, and out of pocket expenses. Attorneys usually may secure their fees through a lien against marital or non-marital asset of the client and also can accept assignment of clients' wages as payment towards fees. Most law firms accept credit cards for payments.
Courts may grant interim attorney fees, while the case is pending, to the spouse who lacks control over the marital assets that will be used to pay the fees. Granting interim relief in a divorce proceeding serves to promote fairness and impartiality by enabling the dependent spouse to maintain or defend the divorce action without being placed at a financial disadvantage. The dependent spouse often can secure attorney fees for appeals as well. Temporary counsel fees often can be estimated by using "rule of thumb" or local custom.
Courts award temporary fees in divorce cases according to the nature and complexity of the case. Reasonableness in billing should be the key factor for setting temporary fee awards. The two most important factors in awarding temporary counsel fees or expert fees are the dependent spouse's ability to maintain or defend an action properly, and the independent spouse's ability to pay.

Eye twitching, eyelid tics and spasms are very typical. Usually just the bottom lid of one eye is involved, however the top eyelid likewise can twitch. A lot of eye twitches reoccur, although they can last for weeks and even months.
I as soon as received an e-mail from a patient's spouse, who told me her left lower eyelid had been twitching for a number of weeks, and it was driving her crazy. Could I assist?
To find an option for a twitching eye, we had to determine the underlying cause of this bothersome issue. Called myokymia in doctor lingo, these rippling muscle contractions in an eyelid can be triggered by:
- Anxiety
- Eye strain
- Dry eyes
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Fatigue
- Allergies
- Nutritional imbalances
Nearly all sudden-onset eyelid twitching is benign, implying the condition is not significant or a sign of a medical problem.
Nevertheless, this type of eye twitching likewise can be difficult to deal with. The only alternative for making the twitching stop might be to determine the cause and deal with it.
More serious types of eyelid twitching are triggered by neurological conditions such as blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm. These conditions are much less common and should be identified and dealt with by an optometrist.
Why Does My Left or Right Eye Twitch?
Anxiety: While we're all under stress at times, our bodies respond in different ways. A twitching eye can be one sign of anxiety, particularly when it is related to vision problems such as eye strain (see below). Decreasing the cause of the stress can assist make the twitching stop.
Exhaustion: A lack of sleep, whether since of anxiety or some other reason, can trigger a twitching eyelid. Catching up on your sleep can help.
Eye strain: Vision-related stress can take place if, for example, you need glasses or a modification of glasses. Your eyes may be working too hard, triggering eyelid twitching.
Computer system eye strain from overuse of computers, tablets and smartphones is also a typical reason for vision-related tension.
If your eyelid twitching is consistent and very bothersome (like the problem experienced by my patient's spouse), you need to have an eye exam, since you might need vision correction.
If you invest a lot of time on the computer system, you likewise must consider talking to your optometrist about unique computer eyeglasses.
Caffeine and alcohol: Many specialists believe that too much caffeine or alcohol can set off eye twitching. If your caffeine (coffee, tea, soda water, and so on) and/or alcohol consumption has increased, cutting down is worth a shot.
Dry eyes: More than half of the older population experiences dry eyes, due to aging. Dry eyes likewise are very common for individuals who utilize computers, take specific medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, and so on), wear contact lenses and consume caffeine and/or alcohol. If you are worn out and under stress, you also may develop dry eye.
It's best to see your eye doctor for a dry eye evaluation, since numerous treatments are now readily available.
Nutritional imbalances: Some credit records suggest a lack of specific nutritional substances, such as magnesium, can activate eyelid spasms. Although these files do not have scientific evidence, I can't rule this out as a possible cause of a twitching eye.
If you think a nutritional shortage might be impacting you, nevertheless, I suggest talking this over with your family physician for expert guidance instead of randomly purchasing over-the-counter dietary products.
Allergies: People with eye allergies can have itching, swelling and watery eyes. When eyes are rubbed, this releases histamine into the cover tissues and the splits. This is significant, because some evidence suggests that histamine can cause eyelid twitching.
To offset this problem, some optometrist have actually recommended antihistamine eye drops or tablets to assist some eyelid twitches. But keep in mind that antihistamines likewise can trigger dry eyes. It's finest to work with your optometrist to make sure you're doing the right thing for your eyes.
Remedies for a Twitching Eye
In uncommon cases, some eye twitching simply won't go away. A few of these kinds of twitches can be successfully treated with Botox injections that assist stop contraction. See your eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment if the twitching impacts half your face or your entire eye, causing the lids to clamp shut.
So, exactly what caused my patient's partner to have eyelid twitching? The issue ended up being a combination of dry eyes and an inaccurate contact lens prescription.

Luckily, I had the ability to fix her frustrating problem by prescribing brand-new bifocal contacts made of a product developed particularly for people with dry eyes.

If We're Being Honest.
I think it's time I start writing more frequently.
You have no idea how amazing it is to have time to read things that spark actual thoughts worth writing about. And then to have time to think about what that writing would look like. And then to have time to actually write.
Planning a wedding is time consuming, yo.
On that note, I've got some thoughts.
I've been struggling with this idea that I'm not a very good friend. I've never been good at calling people back or initiating a conversation. and when your friends live in different places all across the country, that kind of thing is a necessity sometimes.
There are ladies (and gents) that I've absolutely fallen in love with over the past five years in the blogging universe. And every year, we've been able to reconnect in person. With the end of Bloggers in Sin City came the end of that reconnect opportunity. Now we have to work harder to reconnect on our own time and our own dime. I want to spend time with these people. I want to fly across the country for a weekend to attend a birthday party. But, money. And work. And time. And fear of rejection, if we're being honest.
I want to make it a goal to reconnect with these people who are my people. I want to be the person they call or email (if we're being honest) or gchat when they have exciting news or need to vent or want someone to be in their wedding or etc.
I see all these people putting in the work, and I know I'm not doing that. And I know that's why my friendships have stalled. And I know I do this every year. And then I usually apologize and start reconnecting just before we get ready to head to Vegas. And then the cycle begins again. But this year, there's no Vegas. So the cycle can't continue. I have to make the change, adjust, and put in the damn work. But where do I even begin? I don't know how to be a friend to someone I don't see on a regular basis. I don't know how to initiate anything. I'm awkward. I don't have close friends.
And I'm afraid of developing those with local people who I have the potential of seeing every day because every time I put in the work, they hurt me. Like, stab me in the back lie and blame me for the relationship disintegrating type of hurt. Real pain. It still hurts to think about those relationships. I want a close friend who's not my husband. But fear.
And distance. And effort. And fear. If we're being honest.

The last couple of months I've been very interested in facial serums. I don't mean oil serums, which I still love dearly, but in those "true" serums that are lightweight, quickly absorbing, with high concentrations of active ingredients and that are usually used after toning and before the application of an oil/moisturizer. Mainly thanks to my beloved subscription boxes I currently have a selection of five serums and I really do like them all a lot. Each of them is unique in its own way and I will try to really showcase those difference.
Let's start with Live Botanical AER Hyaluronic Acid Serum*. This serum was in the April Art of Organics Clean Beauty Box, alongside with Skin Dew Coconut Water Cream by One Love Organics. Read my review here. I love both products so much! This box was definitely my favourite Art of Organics box. Both products work amazingly well on my combination skin and my skin looked the best in those weeks when I was using them religiously. AER serum is very lightweight and runny. It is clear and doesn't really have a scent. What I love about it is that it's so fuss free and simple, containing only four ingredients - Aloe Vera Juice, Green Tea, Sodium Hyaluronate and Lactobacillus Ferment. I mean I like both: products that are packed full with many gorgeous ingredients or simple, less than 5 ingredients products. As long as they are effective, I get along with them. I find it very satisfying when a product doesn't contain a lot and it's still so good. That is precisely what AER is. Simple yet so good and effective. It's hydrating and at the same time also plumping and I really couldn't believe how this water-like serum could give my skin so much hydration. This serum is also free of any essential oils and is therefore just perfect for very sensitive and reactive skin. This is the serum you can't go wrong with, no matter what your skin type is. I would also recommend it for sensitive, reactive skin and acne-prone, oily, combination skin. It's the most affordable of the five serums I'm going to mention here, and the design is speaking to me so much. Love ferns! Unfortunately Live Botanical isn't available in Europe (yet - fingers crossed!) but if you're an Art of Organics member you can get it with your 15% discount - at the moment it is not available but I'm sure it will be soon. And if your country isn't on the shipping list, do write them an email if they would ship to your country. You can also order straight from their website here.
Another serum I got in an April box is the de Mamiel Intense Nurture Antioxidant Elixir*. This gorgeousness was in the April Beauty Heroes box and oh my word this one is amazing. This serum contains a bunch of ingredients, it's full of antioxidants (like full full) and is especially formulated to combat pollution, environmental and emotional stress. De Mamiel is a very special brand from the UK and I can't help but to fall in love with each and every product I try from them. The serum has a subtle floral scent, milky white colour and thicker consistency than these other serums. It almost seems a bit goopy, but I mean that in the best way possible. It's soothing on the skin and it layers really beautifully. I will say that it is not the most hydrating but it pairs so perfectly with the AER serum. I think it would be beneficial to all skin types and especially those who live in cities where there is lots of pollution. If you want a good boost of antioxidants for your skin then this is the one for you. My skin is fairly sensitive and I didn't experience any problems with it, on the contrary it calmed my skin. If you have very sensitive skin do still check the ingredients and make sure your skin isn't reactive to the essential oils that are in this product. If you live in Europe you can get it straight from their website here and in the States get it at the Beauty Heroes' Beauty Store where members have 15% off. Check it out here. You can also read my review here.
Twelve Beauty Ideal Brightening Corrective Serum* is another serum that was in an April box, this time it was the April Boxwalla Beauty Box. Twelve Beauty is a Spanish brand and the founder and master formulator Pedro doesn't joke around. Not that other formulators do haha. This serum has a milky white colour and a subtle scent. This serum is very hydrating, to the point where my skin was over-hydrated and I experienced some bumps on the skin. So you definitely don't need to layer other products with this one! I was very much looking forward to trying out this serum because it sounds ideal for my biggest skin concern - hyperpigmentation. I pretty much always have some redness in my skin, some scaring (post-acne redness) and even though I use sunscreen on a daily I'm sure there is still some sun damage so bring on all the brightening powers. It is said that the results can be seen in 10-14 days but my skin needed a bit longer to really show that the serum is brightening and corrective. I think if it wasn't for the layering with other products I would see the results sooner. Know that this is not a one-time miracle worker, at least it wasn't for me. Regular use and applying it twice a day does the job. Hyperpigmentation is something that needs to be addressed every day if you want to get rid of it and having a lightweight yet very hydrating serum that has brightening properties is the way to go. I think that everyone can use this serum, even those with sensitive skin. If you have combination and oily skin types I would only apply a toner and one to two pumps of the serum. Done. That's in the evening and for the morning routine I love mixing it with Farizad's Veil sunscreen from Earthwise Beauty. That's a powder sunscreen so you get the sun protective benefits and no additional oils or moisture. Read more about about it here. You can get it here.
Next is MOSS Illumina Vitamin C Perfecting Treatment Intensif*. This serum is in the June Boxwalla Beauty Box which is still available to purchase! See here. Illumina is a serum but it's more of a treatment because I don't use it every day, and most definitely not twice a day. If you check out the description of this serum, it pretty much does it all (or at least everything I want in a product): "This Vitamin C plus exfoliating serum offers revitalized cellular renewal. It decongests acne-prone skins and smooths wrinkles and discoloration for mature skins." Well do sign me up! Ever heard of retinols? Well this serum is a safe retinol alternative, without causing any redness, dryness or harshness to the skin. Illumina is a vitamin C and exfoliating serum. More on the ingredients in my review here. This product does everything it is stated on the bottle and my mind is just like blown away. This is definitely not your standard serum! I apply it every three days or so and Illumina visibly improves appearance of my skin overnight. Skin is brighter, texture of the skin is more even and refined, hyperpigmentation and inflammation are both reduced. I'm not joking around when I say that this serum is magical. Pure magic. I would say that everyone can use it but be careful if you have sensitive skin and perhaps mix it with something like AER serum from Live Botanical to water it down a bit. This serum isn't affordable so I highly recommend getting it in the June Boxwalla Beauty Box here (available until June 5th). I'm not sure where it is available in Europe but I did find this UK store called Alyaka that carries a few products from Moss, sadly not Illumina (see here). I also recommend buying from The Green Jungle Beauty Shop here, where you can use my code Jana for 10% off your order (code is not affiliated).
The last serum is one I got just recently, Dafna's Personal Skincare Serum Anti Aging & Glow*. I already shared my first impression with this serum in my previous post here so I don't want to go into too much details. As the name suggest this serum contains ingredients that are rich in antioxidants and they say that the "Serum offers one of the most advanced solutions to combat skin aging processes". Like all other serums mentioned here, this one is also lightweight, it's quite hydrating and I'm looking forward to see how it works in the long run. So far I've been enjoying it. It didn't break me out or caused redness which is great. "With our Serum you will see and feel how your skin texture changes, fine lines are smoothed, and your skin is firmer and radiant." - bring it on! I got it from Love Lula here (free shipping worldwide).
Have you tried any of these serums? Do you even use serums?
Lots of love to you all,
Jana xx

Secondhand Smoke Exposure Ups Risk of Future Psychological Distress
Healthy adults exposed to secondhand smoke appear to be at higher risk of suffering psychological distress and future psychiatric illness requiring hospitalization, according to a major Scottish population study.
The study tracked more than 8,000 adults over six years. It found that nonsmokers exposed to high levels of secondhand smoke, as measured by salivary levels of the nicotine breakdown product cotinine, were at a 49 percent higher adjusted risk of psychological distress (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.13 to 1.97) compared with nonsmokers who had undetectable salivary levels of cotinine. The report was published online June 7 in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
High exposure to secondhand smoke (a salivary cotinine level of greater than 0.70 μg/L and less than 15.00 μg/L) raised the risk of future hospitalization for psychiatric treatment nearly threefold for nonsmokers exposed to high levels of secondhand smoke (HR 2.84; 95% CI 1.07 to 7.59) and nearly fourfold for smokers (HR 3.74; 95% CI 1.55 to 8.98), after adjustment for multiple variables.
In the U.S., an estimated 60 percent of nonsmokers have some biological evidence of exposure to secondhand smoke. "Even a low level of risk may have a major public health impact," Mark Hamer, PhD, of University College London, and colleagues wrote.
Among the entire study cohort, 14.5 percent of smokers and nonsmokers reported psychological distress. "We found a robust dose-response association between objectively assessed nicotine exposure and psychological distress, which was apparent at low levels of secondhand smoke exposure and was strongest in current smokers," the authors commented. "This association was replicated in prospective analyses that demonstrated an association between secondhand smoke exposure, active smoking, and risk of psychiatric episodes over six years of followup."
Hamer and colleagues noted that a growing body of research has linked secondhand smoke with adverse effects on physical health, but much of this evidence is based on crude, self-report measures, such as exposure in the workplace or through family members who smoke.
"Recent studies using valid objective biochemical markers of secondhand smoke have reported associations with various health outcomes, including markers of inflammation, glucose control, and cardiovascular disease risk," the authors noted. "There is, however, very limited information on the association between objectively assessed secondhand smoke exposure and mental health in humans." Animal data suggest that tobacco may induce negative mood, and some human studies have identified a potential association between smoking and depression.
To provide more evidence based on more objective measures, Hamer and colleagues studied 5,560 nonsmoking adults and 2,595 smokers who had participated in the Scottish Health Survey in 1998 or 2003. At the time of enrollment, participants did not have a history of mental illness. Smoke-free legislation was also not in effect in Scotland at that time.
Nonsmokers with higher cotinine levels were significantly younger, had lower socioeconomic status, higher BMI, more chronic illness, less physical activity, and higher alcohol consumption than those with undetectable continine levels.
The participants initially completed the General Health Questionnaire in 1998 as part of the health survey, which included questions to evaluate psychological distress and mental illness. At that time, participants' exposure to secondhand smoke was assessed using saliva levels of cotinine, the main product formed when nicotine is broken down by the body. In 2003, the participants completed the survey again, which allowed the researchers to evaluate changes in their mental health, including levels of psychological distress and admissions to psychiatric hospitals.
"The prospective nature of our study adds considerably to the current evidence base," the authors wrote. "In our analyses, the association between nicotine exposure and risk of psychiatric events persisted despite adjustment for psychological distress at baseline, which was in itself strongly associated with psychiatric admissions."
The authors cautioned that although they collected data on psychological distress using the questionnaire, they did not account for cases of psychiatric illness that may have required treatment but not hospitalization. They also noted that they did not collect followup measurements of cotinine levels and were thus unable to objectively assess participants' changes in smoking status.

The Cannes film festival has added another film as a special screening to its official selection: Bernard-Henri Levy's Peshmerga. "This film, which we have just discovered, offers a close-up look at the Kurdish Peshmerga fighters," festival organizers said Monday in an announcement. "With just a small team, Peshmerga ... are the military forces of the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan. Peshmerga means 'one who confronts death' or 'one who faces death. 'Pesh' means to stand in front of (loosely translated as to confront or face) while 'merga' means death. ... The director traveled 1,000 kilometers along the Iraqi frontier, from south to north, filming war situations, landscapes and the faces of men and women rarely seen in the wider world."

"Sperm Bomb": Art, Feminism, and the American War in Vietnam
"The Radcliffe Research Partnership was the best job I could have possibly asked for. I had the opportunity to work closely with a scholar, and I really made an impact on the outcome of the project. I was able not only to learn about a new field that I haven't had an opportunity to explore, but also to form a strong business and personal relationship with a scholar in academia.
"The Radcliffe Research Partnership provided me with incredible academic resources. As a senior writing my thesis on a visual medium, I worked with an established scholar on visual literature research methods. Mignon used her training in a wide variety of art histories to refine my eye for analyzing visual media. The process of working so closely with someone so knowledgeable was intriguing, fun, and exciting."—Shaun Vigil '11
"The Radcliffe Research Partnership is a unique aspect of the Fellowship Program at the Radcliffe Institute. Working with Shaun, a history and literature concentrator with a special interest in gender and mass culture, gave me a fresh perspective on the book I am writing on feminist artists' responses to the American war in Vietnam. The undergraduate research partnership was the pièce de résistance of my experience at the Institute."—Mignon Nixon RI '11

In one of the worst-kept secrets in years, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) finally released Office for the iPad. On the surface, this would seem to be a big deal for Microsoft and should help the company. However, this move could actually hurt both Microsoft and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), while giving Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) a boost.
A game changer, but not in the way you think
In theory, Office for iPad changes the game for Office 365. Microsoft's subscription service becomes more valuable, as there are millions of iPad users who can now use the real Office programs on their iPads. Within days of the release, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint jumped into the top free iPad apps on iTunes.
Though the online versions of Office worked for iPad users, these versions were handicapped by the lack of an app and missing features. But bringing Office to the iPad makes Microsoft's Surface product lineup somewhat less appealing.
This is one of the unintended consequences of Office for the iPad. At $449, the Surface RT with Office offers nearly 50% more weight and far fewer compatible apps than an iPad Air for $499. Given the huge difference in apps, weight, and screen quality, this extra $50 is likely money well spent for prospective buyers. The fact that Office is now on the iPad also makes the Surface Pro at $899 a much harder sell.
Given that Microsoft reported an increase in Surface sales of more than 120% in the last quarter, Office for the iPad might actually hurt future sales growth in this key category for the company.
A 30% cut for iTunes? Don't get your hopes up
When Office for the iPad was introduced, some surely saw that Apple would get a 30% cut of any Office 365 subscription sold through the iTunes store. However, Apple fans should be more excited about increased iPad sales than increased iTunes revenue.
There are already millions of users who have paid for their Office 365 subscription before Office for iPad was introduced. While these apps are great news for existing customers, this generates nothing in terms of Apple revenue. In addition, Apple already generates billions from iTunes each quarter, and these sales grew by 19% in the last quarter.
Google, in a similar way, generates more than $1 billion in revenue from its Google "Other" division, and this revenue -- including Google Play -- increased by nearly 100 year over year%. However, with Office for Android already readily available, no one is making big projections of growth from Google's cut of Office sales. It makes far more sense that Apple would get a boost from increased iPad sales as users now can use the same program on their iPad, Mac, or PC.
A perfect picture of the gap between iPad and Android tablets
Maybe the biggest irony of the Office for iPad introduction is the challenge this presents for Android tablet sales. Though Google's Android OS has been gaining ground on iOS in the tablet space, there is still a huge separation in the quality of tablet-optimized apps for Android versus iOS.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, look at the difference between Office for Android and Office for iPad.
Office for Android (Word)
Office for iPad (Word)
Office for Android (Excel)
Office for iPad (Excel)
Since Android dominates the smartphone operating system wars, many apps are designed to work best on the smaller screen of a phone instead of a tablet. Office for iPad might be the best example of how big of a difference there is between iOS and Android tablet apps.
The bottom line: Office for iPad is great for customers and should be good news for Microsoft's Office business. However, Apple may benefit just as much from the capability to get real work done on the iPad. In addition, Google better figure out a way to get tablet-optimized apps on board.
Android may dominate the smartphone OS war, but consumers are going to be clamoring for real tablet apps. Office for iPad may be the apps that push more customers toward the iPad rather than an Android or Surface tablet. I bet that's not what Microsoft was expecting, but it's likely what will happen.

I want to share a video of a amazing drummer that I know, this guy is going somewhere! Oh, and he is only six years old! This kid can play, he has the moves and the attitude. He looks like a pro behind the kit.
Take a few minutes and watch this fun video of him playing last Halloween. Great video of a kid dreaming of playing the drums at a major rock concert. Something I am sure many of us did growing up. Logan ends up in full KISS makeup and costume playing drums with KISS.

Grey N.Y. Resigns E*Trade
Account in Review
After a six-year run, Grey Advertising resigned E*Trade after the client said it was launching an agency review. An RFP went out this week as the first stage of the search. It could not immediately be determined which outside consultant is handling the process.
In 2012, E*Trade spent $112 million in measured media, according to Nielsen.
The review comes after the discount broker replaced Nick Utton, the CMO who worked with the agency on its successful talking baby campaign. Last month, E*Trade brought in Liza Landsman—who has worked on BlackRock, Citigroup and Bravas—as the broker's new CMO. At the same time, it hired Morgan Stanley exec Navtej Nandra as president, head of retail banking at E*Trade. The company has had a steady succession of top management during Grey's tenure, including seven CEOs since 2007.
Grey N.Y. declined comment but in an internal memo, Tor Myhren, chief creative officer, and Michael Houston, chief operating officer, told staffers the move was in the "best interests" of both the agency and E*Trade. "Across six Super Bowls, the street-wise baby became synonymous with the E*Trade brand's maverick, consumer-championing DNA, proving online investing is so easy a baby can do it … We will always look back on this relationship as one of the best and most famously effective in Grey's history."
E*Trade has not responded to inquiries.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Attitudinal barriers is a term used for the set of difficulties or challenges experienced by a person with disabilities that result from misunderstanding, confusing or ignoring the disability, using the disability to dismiss the person or to make unfair comparisons about the person's work performance. The term attitudinal barriers is used primarily to explore what happens to individuals with disabilities in the workforce, but these behaviors and beliefs may be present in other areas of the disabled person's life, including during early education as a child.
Inferiority Treatment
Attitudinal barriers may take the form of imposing an inferiority upon the disabled worker. People may have a tendency to forget that not every skill is required for every job position, so that in terms of job performance a person who is disabled and a person who is not might begin evenly matched. This inferiority can root from causes entirely outside the work environment and be attributed to a person's bias or bigotry.
Pity, Charity and Hero Worship
These attitudinal barriers at work can be projected upon the disabled by even the most well-meaning of coworkers. Pity, feeling sorry for those with disabilities, and inclinations towards charity, can make a disabled person feel uncomfortable and deprived of the chance to live and work independently. This can also take the form of a non-disabled person subscribing hero worship to a disabled coworker they believe has overcome all odds to come to work and do his job. Many disabled people feel a disability is just an aspect of their personality they have adjusted to and would prefer equal ground with all other employees.
Prejudice and the Spread Effect
The National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability (NCWD) says, "Whether born from ignorance, fear, misunderstanding or hate, these attitudes keep people from appreciating and experiencing the full potential a person with a disability can achieve." One form of this prejudice is known as the Spread Effect, where people treat a disabled person as if their disability has spread to other senses or abilities. Similarly, a positive or negative attitude about all people with disabilities that is absolute in nature, rather based on one experience with a disabled person or a societal assumption, can create unfair expectations for the disabled person in the work environment.
Attitudinal barriers can lead to people with disabilities being patronized by those around them. Some members of a society might believe the disabled can not perform the same tasks as others and that when disabled people meet or exceed expectations they are treated as if their actions are courageous. NCWD believes this can lead to "regulating them to low-skill jobs, setting different job standards (sometimes lower standards which tend to alienate co-workers, sometimes higher standards to prove they cannot handle a job) or expecting a worker with a disability to appreciate the opportunity to work instead of demanding equal pay, equal benefits, equal opportunity and equal access to workplace amenities."

Let $n>0$, $\mathbb S^n$ be $n$-sphere and $1\in \mathbb S^n$ be its north pole.
A am looking for an example of compact manifold $M$ with a continuous $n$-parameter family of maps $h_x\colon M\to M$, $x\in \mathbb S^n$ such that
- $h_1=\mathop{\rm id}_M$
- For any Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ and any family of maps $h'_x\sim h_x$ (i.e., such that the maps $h,h'\colon \mathbb S^n\times M\to M$ are homotopic) there is $x\in\mathbb S^n$ such that the Lipschitz constant of $h'_x\colon (M,g)\to(M,g)$ is $\ge 10000$.
- I think about this problem for few years; I do not think it is an easy one, but I want to make sure that I did not miss a well known trick. A positive answer might have interesting consequences for collapsing with lower curvature bound.
- If $n=0$, so $\mathbb S^0=\{+1,-1\}$ then $M=\mathbb T^k$ and $h_{-1}=$ a hyperbolic linear map with a big eigenvalue will do.
- Denote by $F$ the space of all maps $M\to M$. If $\pi_n(F,\mathop{\rm id}_M)$ is finitely generated then for every $h_x\colon (M,g)\to (M,g)$ there is $h'_x$ with a fixed Lipschitz constant $L=L(M,g)$ for all $x$.
- I know few examples of families $h_x$ for which one can not find a metric $g$ and homotopic family $h'_x$ with Lipschitz constant $=1$ (in other words the family can not be made isometric).
- I do not know an answer even if instead of 10000 I would have $1+\varepsilon$ for a fixed $\varepsilon> 0$.

Bell Biennale Video
Wow! When I watch this amazing video of the Bell Biennale by Steven Pam it felt like it was yesterday the festival happened. Thank you so much Steven for putting this together. You have really captured the moment and the overall feeling of the festival. Argh the rain! We are so glad that Steven captured the weather with the majestic sounds of the Balinese Gamelan DanAnda in the opening sequence. Reflecting back, Chelsea and I feel that the weather in some way enabled a shared struggle that bonded the school community around the festival.
5/6 Chinese Museum Incursion
Chinese art and music has been the main focus for the 5/6 students in preparation for the Bell Biennale Arts Festival (Our Asian Neighbours). Last Monday grade the 5/6 students had great learning opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture when the Melbourne Chinese Museum visited the school to run three workshops. The first workshop was a Chinese language infused dance with all the grade 5/6 students. Included in some of the dance routine was also some simple Tai Chi moves.
After getting warmed up with the dance 5/6 students were ready to learn about Chinese medicine. During this session the students had a hands on experience with an interesting variety of herbs, fungi and other medicinal plants. After learning about what some of the herbs can cure the students were then given a mock patient that need help with a particular ailment. Students were then charged with the task of choosing the right recipe to make a soup that could possibly cure the ailment.
The third workshop was about making Chinese lanterns. This was a great hands on experience for the students that required a high degree of fine motor skills. As they made the lanterns they learnt why the lantern is an important symbol for luck in Chinese culture.
Part 2 Javanese Dance
Following on from the previous post part 1
Like singing in a choir or playing in an ensemble, dancing with others in unison as a synchronised group, brings great pleasure. Clearly from the images below this is what the students were experiencing under the graceful guidance of Nita Hall from Asia Raya. The level of engagement was extremely high and Bell's grade 3/4 students demonstrated excellent choreography skills whilst following Nita's moves.
One of the dances that the students learnt wasn't originally from Java but from the island of Sumatra. This was called the plate dance. As the students entered the room there were pairs of small yellow and orange plates laid out on the floor. Yellow for boys and orange for girls. When the students got dressed up in the colourful costumes they looked amazing. The red horns of the headdress that the girls wore represented the buffalo commonly found on the island of Sumatra. Both boys and girls had to wear traditional Javanese sarongs with the girls wearing beautiful pink tops and red scarves. The boys accompanied the girls with bright blue shirts and black scarves to match their headdress. How amazing do they look?
Fact: Did you know that when this dance is performed back in Indonesia that the dancers actually dance on broken plates. Nita says that this requires great skill so as to not cut their feet on the shards of broken plate.
Watch some of the grade 3/4 students perform the Plate Dance.
The other dance that the students learnt was a penguin dance. Again after some practice, the students were able to follow Nita's moves and their costumes were also wonderfully ornate and colourful.
Talk About… Prep Music… Talk About… Prep Music
Preps have been dancing and singing up a storm in music over the past couple of weeks. It all started out when we decided to turn 'Bananas, Bananas' into a rocking partner dance with a twist at the end (although most of the students preferred to jump). We quickly progressed to our new favourite song 'Clap, Clap Your Hands'. In this tune the students with their partners and to dance to a series of movements that included pressing noses and taping chins in time to the music.
After that we progressed to combining some singing with instruments to 'We Can All Play In The Biggest Band'. Here the students learnt the song and then divided into groups where they were given the chance to rotate through the various instruments. The students loved being given the chance to play their instruments as a whole band whilst singing the song.
Last week's musical analysis using the thinking routine 'See (Listen), Think, Wonder' the students watched Music From A Dry Cleaner… Here there were lots of thinking and wondering about how the musician created music from machines. This followed on perfectly from the previous weeks analysis of Music From A Tree.

Hello, I will be teaching an undergraduate course in signal transduction systems in eukaryotes, and would appreciate any pointers to texts that may be useful for such a course. The audience will be second to third year students. I aim to cover general principles and common mechanisms rather than going into a lot of depth into the underlying biochemistry that STPs involve, using examples from animal, plant and fungal systems. Please respond directly to me. If you would like to learn the results of my query, I will share them with the group. Thank you in advance, Terry Delaney Asst Prof of Plant Pathology Cornell University ps. -sorry if you saw this before, my mailer was acting up when I first posted it ------------------------------------------- Terrence P.

An Essential Overview Tow Truck Company Services
Recreational movement is noteworthy to the lives of a large number of individuals, either for action or basically to get afar for a weekend. In fact, they will service just about anywhere within the state of Utah. This is because such equipments are needed in the construction business and in the farming business in the modern day world. They have given their all data on their websites. These affordable towing services are provided making sure that you get your car towed to its place at the right time.
When you come across this type of situation you will be in need of the services of a competent tow truck Salt Lake City company, whenever you are trapped on the street with your automobile. When one of these breaks down, a pickup truck is not going to be of use in getting the tractor, or trailer, pulled to safety. Some towing companies also provide you with emergency services like empty fuel tanks, dead batteries, car lock outs, and flat tires. Another way of increasing business may be to join hands with an auto club. They had a lawnmower and a mid-sized John Deere tractor that had slipped out of gear and ended up in a retention pond It was in about 8-10 feet of water. The ones who are the owner of the company require putting more effort and investment as compared to the people who are working on the contract basis.
We keep your Smart Car going. It is important to keep your insurance copy with you all the time in towing truck. Have you been in an accident and need repairs? These kinds of towing services are always in need and you may be swamped away by a large number of groups offering the services for the same. The companies have hired the team of professionals who will help you dragging your car inside the truck safely without causing any damage or destruction. They can certainly provide suggestions with their corresponding reasons for preferring a particular company over another.
There are plenty of good services provided by many companies. This may be true if the vehicle is parked in a safe location, like in your garage or your neighborhood. Finally, it is important for clients to act properly during the whole interaction process even if they are bothered with what happened to their vehicle. If you have further questions you can get in touch with one of the engineers and be assured that you will have your doubts cleared. To help you pick the right towing company look for online reviews from customers they have had in the past. We care about our community and YOU! You must find out about the company and make researches on what sorts of tools are they using.
In the same way you will not make a tower of your boxes because you do not want them toppling over if you swerve or turn a corner. If you do, there are many 24 hour towing services that can help you in any emergency that you may have. This covers the basic essentials like tire changes and fuel delivery along with reimbursement for towing expenses. Some companies employ a lot of people without taking into account their experience and credibility.
Your car or vehicle will be towed to security and evacuated from the roadway. Consider putting it in your car or perhaps your wallet. Since we don t live in an ideal world, we stand in need of such services at some point of time or the other. A cold winter night snow storm, or a scorching hot summer day, is probably the most likely time when towing services are going to be needed.

Going #nextlevel Storytelling at Camp9600
I first heard about Camp9600 halfway through my second IPA, chatting with a friend at a brew pub in Boulder. A humble guy in his own right, he casually told me about this "conference" in Breck where some of the most iconic brands gather to spill the goods on digital marketing strategy and methodology. I had to check it out.
Fast forward –
Sharing that concert last night on Instagram – on Snapchat. Announcing your new job on LinkedIn. It's all broadcast. It's all a new kind of narrative. It's all storytelling.
Someone once told me, 'brands are becoming more human, and humans are becoming brands." Truth.
What's interesting to me are the types of technology, platforms and tools being used to tell stories [digitally]. Today offers access to an incredibly immersive experience, told through a combination of words, pictures and film.

Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi arrived at Satara district this morning for a visit to drought-hit areas there, an official said.
Accompanied by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and other senior ministers, Gandhi arrived from Mumbai in a helicopter. Satara is around 250 km south-east of the country's commercial capital.
Shortly after landing, Gandhi proceeded to the Zalshi Talao, which is one of the water sources in the district.
Last month, Chavan had visited the drought-hit areas and taken stock of the grim situation in Satara, which is his home district.
Gandhi is scheduled to travel to nearby Bijwadi to take a look at state government sponsored employment guarantee schemes being implemented there among the drought-affected people of Satara.
He will follow it up with a visit to the Pangari fodder depot, one of the important ones in the district which supplies fodder to a large cattle population in the region.
Ironically, Satara is home to the biggest water supply project of Maharashtra, the Koyna Dam. But, barely a few kilometres away, there is acute scarcity of water virtually eight months in a year.
Gandhi arrived on a two-day visit to Maharashtra Friday morning and spent the day meeting party activists to assess the Congress strengths and weaknesses in the key state ruled by the party.

FOR the first time, Seamus Darby, the man who scored one of the most famous goals in the history of the GAA, puts the record straight on issues that have followed him around almost since that celebrated moment in popular Irish history.
His new autobiography, 'About That Goal' traces the vicissitudes of a man thrust into national headlines, who then had to deal with the fallout of losing his business and his marriage, before returning to Ireland to run his own business and catch up on lost time.
While he won All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medals in 1971 and 1972, when he was corner forward in the replay win over Kerry, Darby catapulted to lasting national fame when his late goal helped deprive Kerry of five in a row in the 1982 final.
His Offaly career was actually a comparitively short one and he made 46 league and championship appearances between 1971 and 1982 but "that goal" ensured that he has remained one of the county's most recognisable footballers.
In his new book Darby talks frankly about:
* The feeling that it was his destiny to deliver for Offaly on a big stage
* His friendship with Tommy Doyle, his marker in the '82 All-Ireland final
* 'The Push' in the lead-up to scoring the winning goal
* His relationship with Eugene McGee
* His big regret when he met Bob Geldof
* An act of kindness which saved him from sleeping rough in London
* The day a gangster came looking to shoot him in his pub in London
* How he fought and won against a different type of opponent – cancer
* His gratitude after surviving a car crash this summer.
The Rhode man came on as a second half sub in the 1982 All-Ireland final while younger brother, Stehen came on during the first half.
He has spoken occasionally over the years about the impact the 1982 goal had on his life, how he got into difficulty with businesses he owned and how drink became an issue as people wanted to celebrate with him.
The new autobiography was written in conjunction with Clara man, P.J. Cunningham, a well known journalist and author and is available in bookshops – it is stocked in Midland Books and Robbins' in Tullamore.
Two Offaly launches are planned for the book – Richie Connor, the 1982 captain will perform a Tullamore launch on Friday, October 11, while fellow Rhode man, Paddy McCormack, a team mate in 1972, will launch it in Rhode on Saturday, October 12. Dublin legend Tony Hahanoe will do the honours at a launch in Dublin on Thursday, October 10.

The Hampstead, England-based quartet consisted of singer Roxanne Stephen, guitarist and second vocalist Tom Cullinan, bassist Ben Hopkin, and drummer Joe Dilworth. The group played regularly at a club called the Sausage Machine in their hometown. When the club's owners, Paul Cox and Richard Roberts, formed a new indie label, called Too Pure, Th' Faith Healers (the article's terminal E was truncated for coolness' sake; the band joked that it had been stolen by Thee Hypnotics) were their first signing. Their song Jesus Freak led off Too Pure's first release, the compilation Now That's Digusting Music, in May of 1990. Th' Faith Healers' first single, Pop Song, came out that summer.
Th' Faith Healers released two EPs in 1991, February's Picture of Health (featuring the career high point Gorgeous Blue Flower in My Garden) and October's In Love. Their debut album finally appeared in the spring of 1992. Lido's eight lengthy tracks were noisy and hypnotic grooves, noisier than the similarly sound-for-sound's-sake My Bloody Valentine and more driven than their new labelmates Stereolab (who deputized Dilworth to be their drummer on their first three singles and debut album, Peng!, before they finally found a permanent replacement in Andy Ramsay), the quartet didn't sound like anybody else at the time. A killer cover of Can's Mother Sky, performed at the point of delirium, brought the group's Krautrock influence to the fore.
It took a while for the group to follow up such a success, and Too Pure released the compilation L, gathering the contents of the previous singles and EPs, to fill the gap. The difficult second album didn't appear until November of 1993. Imaginary Friend was darker and less manic than Lido, with the pounding 20-minute dirge Everything, All at Once, Forever taking the group's hypnotic drones to their logical conclusion.
The band must have thought so as well, because after a lengthy U.S. tour supporting the Breeders, then at their short-lived commercial peak, Th' Faith Healers broke up in the spring of 1994. Cullinan formed a new band, Quickspace. Stephens returned to art college, Dilworth opened a photography studio, and Hopkin became a tree surgeon. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi

"Colony" Computer to Look for a Theory of Theories
Among the new students, faculty and staff arriving at UC Davis this summer is a new resident on campus: COLONY, one of the most powerful computers of its type in the world.
COLONY was originally built by Sun Microsystems for chip design. Sun recently donated the machine to Professor James Crutchfield at the Center of Computational Science and Engineering at UC Davis.
"It's the most complex machine Sun Labs ever built," Crutchfield said.
COLONY has 14 motherboards, each with 64 chips, with each of those containing 64 32-bit processors, for a total of 57,344 processors. That's a lot of computational power, but what makes COLONY special is the extremely fast connections between the processors. The result is that it can run simulations thousands of times faster than conventional machines.
Crutchfield will use the machine for running a kind of computer simulation called "cellular automata." A simple cellular automaton would be a lattice of cells, each of which can be in a set number of different states, such as black or white, one or zero. Programmed rules set how cells influence the state of their neighbors. Cellular automata quickly give rise to complex patterns from a simple set of instructions.
COLONY can run very large lattices and also run models in three or four dimensions, making for more powerful and realistic models, Crutchfield said. The machine could be used for experiments in fluid dynamics, weather forecasting, geology or ecology. But Crutchfield is primarily interested in a deeper problem.
Working at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico and now at UC Davis, Crutchfield has developed a new theory of how cellular automata can spontaneously organize into miniature universes with their own unique "physics" -- structures of interacting particles. The ultimate goal is to understand how structure can appear at different levels of the universe, how the levels are related to each other, and how scientists (and computers) can automatically construct theories from data.
COLONY is only the most recent and unusual computing resource at UC Davis. Researchers already have access to more conventional computing on campus including a number of "clusters," made up of desktop computers linked together and supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and elsewhere.

Global changes over the last century have contributed to a disconnection between humans and the environment. The growth and development of our communities has a large impact on our natural environment. Rather than seeing ourselves as an intricate and essential part of life's cycle, we believe that we have power over Earth's ecosystems. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources. As indicated by mounting scientific research from all corners of the globe, that approach is simply not sustainable, and our current way of living must be overhauled.
A "green" building is one that has been constructed or renovated to incorporate design techniques, technologies and materials that lessen its dependence on fossil fuels and minimize its overall negative impact on human health and the environment over the entire life cycle of the building. Green building concepts extend beyond the walls of buildings and can include site planning, community and land use planning issues as well.
The EHA design studio is the architects' chef d'oeuvre, with its open office system & 100% recycled theme. The lush green entrance patio flaunts a native variety of plants and grass with minimum water requirement. The landscape is dotted with recycled wooden pergola, abstract stone elephants and a lotus pond, finding expression in indigenous decorations and green customs.Contemporary forms with earthy accents make the place a pleasant host. With a flair for green design, no fresh/solid wood is used. Most of the furniture is made of mango/rubber wood which have been serviced and reused. Laminate are replaced by banana fiber wall paneling with natural dyes made by local tribal artisans and is a signature motif.
The tailor-made conference room boasts of crisp, clean air - a product of natural ventilation through bamboo. The live coconut tree in the centre of the office accentuates the notion of the office.Designed with a creative eye, the office reveals good planning and many well-thought-out furnishing elements to facilitate day-to-day work.

This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.
Except as limited by a constitutional prohibition agreed to by the People, the States are free to adopt what ever laws they like, even those that offend the esteemed Justices' "reasoned judgment."A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy.Expression, sure enough, is a freedom, but anyone in a long-lasting marriage will attest that that happy state constricts, rather than expands, what one can prudently say.
"It is one thing for separate concurring or dissenting opinions to contain extravagances, even silly extravagances, of thought and expression; it is something else for the official opinion of the Court to do so." Scalia
If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: 'The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,' I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.
With each decision of ours that takes from the People a question properly left to them—with each decision that is unabashedly based not on law, but on the "reasoned judgment" of a bare majority of this Court—we move one step closer to being reminded of our impotence.
