We are delighted to present a free Sheffield screening of Huw Wahl's film, 'Action Space'
All Welcome!
GRAVITY 4.30-6pm,
Thursday 9th February
Sheffield Hallam University
Adsetts Building, Lecture Room 6620
Founder Ken Turner and his wife Mary Turner in 1968, Action Space used large inflatable sculptures to create interventions into public spaces. By bringing together artists, performers, dancers, painters and musicians, the movement sought to produce cultural democratic spaces for art, education and creative play outside of the restrictive space of the gallery system. This film looks at those years between 1968 and 1978, exploring contemporary and pertinent issues around public/private space, individual/collective creativity, community and responsibility, emancipation and play. It features archive footage alongside discussions with key members of the movement, present-day writers and theorists. The film is based around the making of a new inflatable sculpture within which contemporary performances and happenings are staged. Please see further information here.

Carlos Tevez scored seven minutes from time to end 10-man Stoke's hopes of a point and keep United on the shoulders of Liverpool and Chelsea at the top of the table.
Club captain Neville told the BBC: "We are delighted with the win - it is a really important and significant win for us."
He added: "While we were away in Japan our rivals did not pull away, so this result against Stoke is massive. It could be a vital victory in the context of the championship.
"It was hard work as we had to defend a lot of long balls. A lot of teams find it difficult here.
"But we were patient in our football - we do not get desperate - and our forwards are always likely to produce something and that's what happened."
United will have to manage without defender Rio Ferdinand on Monday against Middlesbrough as he will be sidelined for up to 10 days.
Ferdinand pulled up in the warm-up at Stoke with a back spasm and was replaced by Jonny Evans. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Evans is a fine prospect.
"Jonny is an outstanding player. We are fortunate to have such a talented boy to call on," said the United boss.
"At 20 he shows such maturity. He reads the game well, he uses the ball well and his pace is good. He has all the attributes of a top player."

Impulse noise protection rolling out on Openreach VDSL2
Based on the rumour mill of our user forums we knew that G.INP error correction was appearing shortly for Openreach FTTC services and now a few people have posted line stats showing that G.INP that helps VDSL2 to handle impulse noise better appears to be live.
We are still waiting an answer to a previous enquiry with Openreach to confirm whether this is a full national roll-out or simply an expansion of previous trials. People may recall G.INP being talked about in the same sentence as vectoring, and there is a sense that if G.INP works exactly as expected there is one less change to make when vectoring is eventually rolled out.
What does G.INP do? Basically if helps protect the data sent over the VDSL2 link from the pops and crackles that corrupt the data, a corrupt TCP/IP packet can be expensive time wise if it needs re-transmitting. Traditionally FEC interleaving was enabled on lines the DLM detected as having errors, but this would use up a higher proportion of the available bandwidth while also increasing latency in worst case scenarios. G.INP operates at a more granular level and only eats up bandwidth when small packets of data need correcting, and does so with very little impact on latency.
Will it mean your line will go faster? For those where interleaving is on, there might be some changes, but until a lot more real world examples showing whether the Openreach DLM is favouring FEC or G.INP error protection it will be difficult to say.
Where G.INP comes into its own is once you start to push 100 Mbps or more utilising vectoring and pushing the copper closer to its absolute capabilities.
Will see if its on my line when it gets, put in the ground, connected and activated... Sometime in the distant future...
Is there any way to tell if G.INP is enabled?
If your ISP runs a GEA Line Check, it will show either Retransmission Low/High if it's enabled and been applied to your line.
The CLI option "--stats", that displays a lot of line statistics on the modem, gives a whole host of extra G.INP information, labelled with a "G.INP" prefix.
Obviously this depends on the modem chipset, and having access.
As far as I know G.INP isn't used on an open profile and possibly only when DLM intervenes, if ever. There's three possibilities that I can think of:
1) If DLM intervenes on an open profile without G.INP then in future the fastpath equivalent will be fastpath with G.INP enabled
2) G.INP is the first option to traditional interleaving and INP chosen by DLM, and only uses the traditional if G.INP is insufficient still (I feel is more likely)
... or finally ...
3) G.INP replaces the traditional interleaving and INP (I feel that's unlikely though)
Forgot to say the following.
Sadly those stuck on traditional interleaving and INP will very likely be unable to benefit from G.INP unless they either have a DLM reset performed by an engineer (impossible without an actual fault to fix) or if their statistics improve enough to convince DLM to do positive changes to their line.
Correct - G.INP is part of the DLM.
There are now 14 DLM profiles for each FTTC sync band. On the downstream - interleaving can be either off/low/high or retransmission can be set to off/low/high (you cannot have interleaving + retransmission). On the upstream, interleaving can be set to off/on or retransmission set to off/low/high.
Really need to see vectoring as well and soon. My line which is only about 80~100 meters long is not managing a full 80Mbps sync any more! The problem will be even worse for longer lines as the sync drops off as noise increases with more customers getting connected.
I expect vectoring is probably another year away unfortunately :(.
It certainly is worse on long lines. My lines are 2km long. I was the first one to be connected to a new cabinet last July and was getting about 5MBps. Now with crosstalk they struggle to get 2Mbps!
@chilting Wow that is bad. Not going to bother for FTTC on my mum's line as the predicted speed is less then the ADSL1 speed. The line is about 2.6KM by road!
Openreach have confirmed they are rolling this out (ISPReview article updated) and that it will take several months to rollout. Their 'management systems' can identify whether the connected modem is G.INP compliant and if it's not then will issue firmware (so it says) and then once supported will allow retransmission to be enabled on that line in the future (by DLM presumably).
My router (FTTC Holmfirth exchange) reports G.IMP is off.

A Healthy Home for Baby
Expecting a child is a joy filled, exciting and demanding time in a parent's life. It's a time of change not only for a prospective parent, but also for their home. Specific preparations and renovations are required to provide the best environment for the baby's arrival.
While many gifts will be provided at showers, you can anticipate that additional items will still be needed. Typically, everything is brand new and still originally wrapped or in boxes to make sure that the baby will get the best and the newest items. The nursery will have new furniture, new paint, new flooring, new bedding, clothing and curtains – it will mimic a beautifully decorated show room in a furniture store and it may also smells that way: that recognizable, slight chemical-like odor of a lot of brand new items.
During late pregnancy and when children are small, we typically spend more time in the indoor environment. In order to truly create the best and healthiest environment for an infant, ET&T suggests you give consideration to hazards not visible to the naked eye. For example, utilizing PID on-site diagnostic devices (photo-ionization detector), we have measured multiple nurseries and detected much higher TVOC levels (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) in the sensitive nursery environment as compared to the rest of the living quarters. At times, the levels were equal to the levels detected in the garage or garden shed where chemicals, such as pesticides and paints were actually stored.
One airborne pollutant that can be part of the chemical cocktail present in nurseries is Formaldehyde (http://www.epa.gov/iaq/formaldehyde.html). It is used in many manufacturing processes and can cause eye, nose and throat irritations. Through our experience, we have measured significant levels of formaldehyde off-gassing from foam mattresses, changing table pads, furniture and flooring. Other chemicals of concern are the SVOCs (Semi-Volatile Chemical Compounds). These compounds settle out of the air quickly and become part of the surface dust. Some SVOCs are found in materials which contain fire retardants (PBDEs – polybrominated diphenyl ethers and chlorinated akryl phosphates) and documented studies link them to developmental challenges, infertility, hormone disruption and more. This group includes fire retardants which were used in furniture, nursing pillows, car seats, carpets and clothing until January of 2014. They are present in house dust and are either inhaled or ingested, putting toddles that are playing and crawling on the floor at a high risk.
Plastic toys, bottles, food containers and play mats are other sources of chemicals contaminants that may create an exposure to little ones through contact with food, water and house dust. BPA (Bisphenol A), phthalates and PVC introduced in unsafe levels can mimic the hormone estrogen and cause adverse consequences to health (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=phthalates ). Our babies and toddlers are the most vulnerable population and testing for indoor toxins is an early and invaluable investment in the long term well being of our children
In addition to chemicals, there are environmental stressors that we can prudently avoid simply through placement and management. EMFs (extremely low frequency AC-magnetic fields) and interior RFs (radio frequency fields) are emitted from many electrical devices that are commonly used in our homes. Elevated AC-magnetic fields have been linked to childhood leukemia in several studies but this is still debated within the scientific community (http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/faculty/publications/Kheifets/Kheifets_Bioelectro_2005.pdf ). Due to the uncertainty and pending literature, prudent avoidance is the safest route. AC-magnetic fields may be present from the service drop, circuit breaker panels or local distribution lines entering the nursery through the walls. Baby monitors, while conveniently helpful to parents, need to be carefully located in order to mitigate their RF effects.
Other sources of RF exposure which can affect babies (even while in the womb) are mobile phones placed or used nearby. According to a study from Yale University, radiation from wireless devices can have non-thermal, biological effects on humans, including DNA strand breaks and other impacts not previously known (http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/120315/srep00312/full/srep00312.html ). Fortunately, EMF fields and RF radiation can be managed with a professional audit of your devices that measures, evaluates risk and makes recommendations for optimum placement.
In storage areas and around the outside of your home, herbicides and pesticides may be present. Insects and weeds are best controlled by a utilizing a Management Program and avoiding the generalized "kill it all" spray schedule, used by many professional exterminators and landscapers. Non-toxic alternatives are readily available on the market and can provide remedies specific to your needs.
There are many things you can do to prevent or limit the environmental stressors that you and your loved ones might be exposed to. Your baby may be blissfully unaware of your decorating efforts and loving intentions but the effort to control toxins will give you peace of mind and give him/her an excellent start in life.
The following list is provided to assist you in achieving a healthy home:
- Choose zero VOC water based paint for the remodel of the nursery (and throughout the house). If you decide to strip down paint coats, please consider the age of the home as buildings constructed before 1979 may contain paint with high lead content.
- Avoid flooring materials that are suspected of or known to emit chemicals. If you decide to install new flooring, chose a natural less toxic material and install it early enough that it has a chance to "off-gas" harmful chemicals.
- Pregnant women and small children should not participate in any of the remodeling work or be exposed to the generated dust or odors.
- Solid wood furniture contains less glues and is less likely to off-gas formaldehyde or other VOCs. The recommended surface finishes are acrylic water based, which create the least odors, and waxed or oiled finishes.
- Avoid pads and furniture containing polyurethane and fire retardants. Buy untreated products produced before 2005 or after 2014 – the best choices are untreated products made of natural fibers such as certified organic cotton and wool.
- New bedding, clothing and curtains should be laundered prior to placing them in the nursery.
- Avoid plastic products such as bottles, containers and toys that are not labeled "BPA free". Limit the use of canned foods. Best is to convert over to glass and high quality stainless steel containers for all food storage.
- Buy natural and chemical-free products and toys whenever possible – for example: BPA-free plastic toys may still contain EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or items labeled PVC free might still contain phthalates.
- It is a good idea to check the manufacturer's online recall list and the government's official recall site to verify you are using materials that have not been found to be defective.
- Place the crib adjacent to a wall that does not have refrigerators, electrical service drops or other electrical appliances on the other side. Consider a professional EMF evaluation for best placement.
- Purchase baby monitors that are activated by motion and sounds sensors. Place them at the furthest possible distance from the crib. Wired devices emit less RF radiation. Consider an RF evaluation for best placement.
- Avoid using your mobile phone near the baby. Do not place the mobile phone, cordless phone, or other devices at their charging stations in the vicinity of the baby's crib or play area.
- Avoid scheduled pesticide applications – consult with a licensed pest control expert on low toxicity alternatives.
- To make your home less attractive to roaches, ants and rodents, take the trash out frequently and do not leave food out.
- Have professional drying performed after a flood or consult with a mold professional if you suspect or discover mold in your home.
- Choose natural, low and non-toxic cleaning products, steam cleaners and filtered vacuums (i.e. H.E.P.A. Filtration). Organic and chemical free products, especially for the young, have become a booming industry and there is a variety of excellent products available at reasonable costs (personal care products, laundry and dish detergent, cleansers, lotions, foods, etc.).

If following my Instagram stories you might have noticed a new, fit friend of mine – Filipa, who is Portuguese and which I met at my gym trial my second day in London. ( Yes, I went to find a gym, right after arriving and free trial is always the best thing to do if you are new at some place and wish to squeeze in that workout.)
As everything I do also this simple thing turned into an adventure, because the regular things does not happen to me, there is ALWAYS some story involved. I made a new friend at my gym trial day – Filipa with who we become instant friends as we are very similar souls with same interests and same view to the life. Since them we have been working out and hanging out together – just hunting good vibes – our adventures on Fit Vibe Hunters Instagram. For what makes this more amusing – her boyfriend is Latvian. How about that for a coincidence?
Making those peanut butter healthy bites.
As we both have the same passion for fitness and fit food cooking and both are keen on exploring fit side of London – we decided to do that together. Therefore we train together and we take chances to explore London fittest events and classes. You can spot us with our colourful bandanas running around the city.
As Filipa is a trainer than she organises Bootcamp classes on Sundays for friends and not only on top of our training sessions to keep mixing up those fitness routines.
So that' s us and a sneak a peek of our adventures so far, on top of mine. So stay tuned as we have many things planned for next months to come!

Confucius once asked the sage Lao Zi, who wrote the Tao Te Ching, about etiquette in past dynasties. This encounter of theirs was well-known in ancient times, and people can find records of it, not only in official historical books such as Shiji, but also in a colorful portrait of Lao Zi. This painting, entitled Confucius Asking Lao Zi About Etiquette, tells the story of how Lao Zi sat with crossed legs on a stone as Confucius stood with his cap in his hand showing great respect and modesty, with both hands folded together in front, bowing to Lao Zi.
There is also a stone tablet building on the north side of Dongguan Street in Luoyang City, Henan Province, and it is believed that this is where Confucius met Lao Zi and asked about etiquette.
For more than 2,000 years, the teachings of Confucius about taking the middle path and his emphasis on "kindness and justice, courtesy, wisdom, and trust," as well as Lao Zi's philosophy of maintaining a tranquil mind and letting things take their natural course, served as the guiding principles for Chinese people. They were the moral standards for Chinese people, one governing their interaction with the outside world, and the other governing how they handled things internally.
The two principles played an important role in maintaining the stability of society and harmony in the family. In addition, their teachings enabled a select few people who had a good moral foundation and the capability of succeeding in spiritual cultivation to reach high levels in their spiritual quests.
Confucianism, together with Lao Zi's lectures, benefited not only Chinese people, but they were also introduced to Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asian countries, along with other places throughout the world.
From ancient times, Chinese people have held onto the dictum "Confucianism on the outside and Taoism on the inside" as a principle to live by. In other words, a truly knowledgeable person serves Confucianism on the outside while adhering to Taoist principles on the inside. He talks about Confucius in society, but follows the Tao in individual moral cultivation.

A 19-year-old college student was killed while trying to push his disabled vehicle to the side of the road in Herndon, Virginia (VA). The victim was on his way to work at Red Robin when this accident happened. He was in the eastbound right lane of Leesburg Pike near Dranesville Manor Drive when he was hit by another vehicle, according to wusa9.com. The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of the victim. Losing a child in a sudden accident is one of those tragedies no parent should have to endure, but unfortunately so many parents must struggle with this loss. The victim's parents remarked about their son's love of music, soccer and cooking.
The exact details of what caused this tragic accident remain unknown. Was the at-fault driver distracted? Was he speeding? We will have to wait and see what the accident report reveals.
Our firm understands the pain parents go through when they lose a child in an accident. For example, we represented a mother who lost her child in a car crash. To learn more, read this case result.

Water is the source of life. Clean water helps prevent and resist diseases.
Although you may be drinking water, are you doing so correctly?
- Drink water before bedtime. Without adequate water, you may be prone to clots, vascular blockages, and thickening of the blood, which can lead to heart disease and strokes.
- Drink water immediately after taking a bath to rehydrate the body.
- Drink water with pure lemon juice after you get up in the morning to help your body to adjust it's neutral pH level.
- Drink water before you exercise. This helps your blood flow smoothly, which results in better performance, and helps you avoid fatigue and heat stroke.
- Drink plenty of water if you drink alcoholic beverages. The water balance inside and outside your cells changes when you have alcohol.
- When you feel anxious or irritable, or are unable to concentrate, drink water to increase your metabolism, restore and improve your vitality.
- Boil water at night to have in the morning. Water that sits in pipes all night has more impurities.
- Drink water in small amounts rather than in big gulps.
- Keep bottled water away from sunlight. Chemicals from the plastic will contaminate the water. Glass and steel are better.
- Don't drink water with medications. This dilutes and reduces their effectiveness. Wait 1/2 hour before drinking.


text: (age 26) 1975: On a bus from Oxford to London with my wife. I'm feeling wretched because we've just fought. She, quiet and forlorn. Suddenly, I'm enveloped in glory and Light. Nothing subtle, it is full-out beatitude, and I intuitively know it 's been activated in me by an outside source. And I further know that source is sitting somewhere right behind me. There's an element of embarrassment in all this for me— to have behaved so badly and madly with Leslie, yet to now be held in such a state of grace, feels like a raw, vulnerable suspension in sheer transparency. [Blake writes something like, "We are put on Earth a little while to learn to bear the beams of love."] The bus bears us toward London. The love never lets up. It fills me. When we arrive and are about to disembark, I know I must wait for the passengers behind me to file out, so I can finally see the person who's held me in such vast, beatified awareness. And sure enough, here she comes– a frail old grey-haired lady. I simply know she's the one. She passes me without any kind of acknowledgement, and I quickly maneuver myself into line right behind her. As she starts down the bus's steep, brief stairway to the pavement, I watch her waver slightly. The climb down is a chore for her old body. My body is still so charged from our mysterious encounter [a " God – appointment" to be sure] that it's easy for me to project a ray of energy from my solar plexus down the stair to hold and steady her as she descends. She stands for a moment on the station pavement, then turns around, beams brightly up at me, says, "Thank you," and is on her way.

The highlights in the 2nd Cambridge International VATS Symposium
The 2nd Cambridge International VATS Symposium was held successfully from October 16th to 17th in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Held in the beautifully decorated Madingley Hall (Figure 1), this symposium was consisted of two parts—experience sharing on all the elements needed to develop a successful advanced VATS programme by experts all around the world on the first day and case presentation & live surgery on the second day.
Part 1—A splendid academic sharing
On the first day, the meeting room was fully occupied by people (Figure 2). Thus, the organizer opened another small conference room so that other audience could also enjoy the meeting.
After the opening ceremony (Figure 3), the symposium began! On the first day's sharing, many hot topics in minimally invasive thoracic surgery were covered, like the anaesthesiological consideration in the non-intubated surgery, VATS & SART debate, preoperative planning and simulation, the benefit and cost analysis of robotic surgery, bleeding avoidance and management and so on (Figures 4,5). Every time an expert finished the speech, coming follow was not just full applause but also questions from the audience. How could such an interactive atmosphere filled with sparkles not made experts as well as audience totally indulging them in it?
Among those marvelous speeches, Dr. Mahmoud Ismail's "thoracic surgery on a cheery" to show the normal thoracic surgery procedure earned him a lot applause (Figure 6).
After the whole day's speeches, Dr. Scarci invited all the experts to have a special dinner in Queen's College (Figure 7). Not just to relax, the dinner also provided a great chance for experts from different countries to continue their question & answer during the meeting.
Part 2—Skillful case presentation & live surgery
Time for the live surgery presentation! Following the first day's great success, the second day's section attracted even more passionate audience (Figures 8,9). Presided over by Prof. Gaetano Rocco, the symposium presented several live surgeries. Though seating in the meeting room, the interactive atmosphere was much more like in the real operation room, everyone paying 100% attention to surgeons' operation.
Journal of Visualized Surgery in the symposium
To highlight the surgical techniques shared and demonstrated during the symposium, Journal of Visualized Surgery (JOVS) is organizing a special issue dedicated to the symposium guested by Dr. Marco Scarci, the course director of the symposium. Thus, to meet authors of the special issue as well as our editorial board members and readers and to exhibit JOVS, our editorial team caught the great opportunity to attend the symposium. We also brought the Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery edited by Prof. Diego Gonzalez-Rivas, Gaetano Rocco, Alan Sihoe and other experts, to better fit with the theme of this symposium. During the symposium, we were pleased to meet and talk with our distinguished editor-in-chief—Prof. Alan Sihoe; associate editor—Prof. Diego Gonzalez-Rivas; honorable editor of Uniportal Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery—Prof. Gaetano Rocco; guest editor of the symposium special issue—Dr. Marco Scarci and also many other authors of the special issue, Dr. Tim young, Dr. Peyman Sardari Nia, Dr. Vadim Pischik, Dr. Antonio Martin-Ucar, Dr. Joel Dunning, Dr. Henrik Hansen and so on (Figures 10-14).
With such a brilliant symposium and so many world-known experts, let us expect the special issue dedicated to the 2nd Cambridge International VATS published on Journal of Visualized Surgery in 2016!

I listened to this programme earlier:
It was made in 2011 to mark Neptune's "first birthday" (one Neptunian year since its discovery), and includes Allan Chapman talking about the race to detect it in 1846 and William Lassell's discovery of Triton.
And there's also an interesting theory that Galileo saw it through his telescope around 1610, whilst watching nearby Jupiter.
Happy birthday, Neptune!
Discuss theory on astronomy, physics and general space science.

Hi, Miss. Fisher. I stumbled upon your novel Snow-walker in an old bookstore while I was in high school and instantly fell in love with everything about it. It has the Snow Queen and Beowulf and Norse Mythology- I couldn't ask for anything more! But, it was really the characters that captivated me. In so many other stories that I had read, the female characters ended up being quiet and polite figures, but Jessa is unapologetically human. She is clever and proud and angry and scared and refuses to be left behind, which really stood out and inspired me. I also really appreciate the bond between Brochael and Kari and how they built their own family together and really care about each other. I remember first reading it and barely being able to put it down or focus on anything else, and then the story just ended. I was just curious if you ever thought about what happened to the characters after this story was finished. Did they get home? What happened to Jessa, Kari, Brochael, Skapti, and the rest of the characters? Did you ever think about adding another installment? Thank you for your time and Many Well Wishes
Thanks for your message; I love the story about how you found the book. Sometimes the books we find by accident mean the most. I presume it was the big US edition with all three parts of the trilogy in together?
Thanks also for your comments on Jessa, Kari and Brochael. They certainly got home, but what happens next is another book, and I don't have any plans to write it at present. I'm so pleased you couldn't put the book down- that is just what I always hope to achieve.
Keep reading!

The Hobbit' has been greenlit and will start production in February, an individual close to the production has told TheWrap.
As TheWrap reported previously, Peter Jackson has agreed to direct the film in addition to producing and writing the two-part project.
In the agreement completed this week, Jackson's deal was finalized and MGM and Warner Brothers agreed to give the project its long-awaited greenlight.
The greenlight means that millions of global fans for the revered J.R.R. Tolkien property can look forward to a prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings,' which was one of the most successful movie franchises in movie history.
Read also: Peter Jackson Close to Deal to Direct 'The Hobbit'
Jackson was already on board to write and produce "The Hobbit." But because of financial turmoil at MGM, which owns half of the franchise together with Warners' New Line Cinema, the project became one of the most torturous in Hollywood history.
Exclusive: Peter Jackson Close to Deal to Direct 'The Hobbit'
Hobbit-Lovers Wait: It's Likely Pushed to 2012
Sets have already been built in New Zealand, and actors - including Sir Ian McKellan - have been on hold for months.
Martin Freeman has been rumored to play Bilbo Baggins.
With the logjam finally broken, production will begin in February.
However, the individual said that labor issues related to the production have still not been resolved, and negotiations will continue with the Screen Actors Guild. The union flap involves whether the production would use Screen Actors Guild members or not.
About $30 million has already been spent on the project, the first part of which is scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 19, 2012.
But Warner Brothers was wary about moving ahead at the risk that an agreement with MGM may not hold up over time.
At MGM, the decision about greenlighting "The Hobbit," a $400 million, back-to-back production of two films, has been hanging between CEO Stephen Cooper, owners-in-waiting Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum of Spyglass Productions and the creditors committee at MGM.
Spyglass has signed a letter of intent to give the production company 4-5 percent ownership of MGM in exchange for taking over the company's management. That deal would entail a prepackaged bankruptcy, under the supervision of the judge and with the accord of the studio's debtors and investors.
But just this week, takeover king Carl Icahn threw his weight behind an alternate plan, to have Lionsgate merge with MGM instead. Icahn owns 30% of Lionsgate, and about 10% of MGM's debt.
So that outcome remains in flux, with a vote pending by MGM debtholder on October 22.

Warning: This post is EXTREMELY pic heavy. :o)
I must say that this is the garment with THE most work that I have ever knit. This coat surpassed even my seamless EZ cardigan!
The knitting of it was fun with the crazy construction of the coat. But that crazy construction also meant that seaming it was alot of work! Add to that the fact that I wanted it lined. Yea, I didn't do the lining but if I WOULD HAVE it would've been even more work! 😉
I chose a nice, silk rayon designer lining in bright colors for my coat. It adds warmth and helps the coat keeps its shape.
My best friend, Moises, is a tailor (lucky for me!). He did the cutting and sewing for the lining. He cut each piece of lining out before I seamed the coat together to ensure that the pieces were all the same (and plus, it was just easier!). He folded the back in half and laid it on the fold of the fabric to cut that piece. Since the fronts were the same, he used only one front and cut two pieces (one for each side). The sleeves each had a different angle, not your standard set-in sleeve here, nope! So he cut those individually. Very importantly, he cut all the pieces at least 1″ larger all the way around to give him a seam allowance plus a margin of error in case the coat grew when blocked. It did grow, but not too much.
He seamed all of the pieces of lining together while I took the coat home, soaked, blocked and seamed it up. I brought the coat back to him and he attached the lining.
To give the lining some looseness and at the same time, keep it in place, he attached 4″ x 0.5″ stripes of fabric at 8 key points along the shoulders and underarms from the lining to the coat (sorry, I didn't get a pic of these!). The lining came out FANTASTIC! Thanks, Moe! Love you, bro!
By vote, all of you chose my big, brown square buttons which I think were a great choice. Thank you, reader(s)! :o)
I am extremely pleased with my new coat and if you catch me at Rhinebeck in two weeks, you'll get to see it in person!

Luke 13:31-35 Some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." He said to them, "Go and tell that fox for me, 'Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
Reflection There is a lot going on in this text, in fact, the verb "to go" is what captures my imagination. The Pharisees' warning to Jesus to "Get away…" can also be translated "Go away." Immediately Jesus responds telling the Pharisees to go to Herod and that he must go and finish his work during the next three days on his way to Jerusalem. The irony is, Jesus tells the Pharisees that he has to go to Jerusalem to be killed in response to their warning to go away to avoid being killed.
It is also worth wondering, what turned the Pharisees around? All along the way the Pharisees have gone out of their way to challenge and entrap Jesus. Now, they are going out of their way to warn him that Herod wants to kill him? Why the sudden change of heart and tactic? Frankly, we have no idea what the Pharisees were thinking. Some commentators suggest their motives were genuine. Others suggest that even though the religiously conservative Pharisees secured their lives by working as arms of the state, interpreting Jewish law and maintaining order among the Jewish people, some of them described Herod the Great as "a madman who murdered his own family and a great many rabbis, the evil genius of the Judean nation."* At the end of the day, Pharisees were Jews, not Romans. Their God was the God of Israel, not Herod.
Apparently some of the Pharisees put their lives on the line when they warned Jesus to "Go away…" They chose to turn away from their comfortable alliance with the occupying Roman officials that insured their protected status in favor of turning toward the God of Israel. Turning toward God, following the way of Jesus, is costly. In fact, it costs everything. As the German Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer put it, grace is not cheap.
Grace requires more than being a law abiding citizen. Grace requires more than being socially and politically correct. Grace requires we go, pick up our cross and follow Jesus to Jerusalem, "the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it." It means dying to our old way of bartering for safety, security, esteem, power and control in exchange for obedience to secular authority. Grace means being born again as people who put flesh on the bones of our faith by standing up for the dignity of all people. Grace invites us to risk everything, to put our safety, security, esteem, power and control on the line in order to go, to follow the way of Jesus and live according to a higher standard of dignity for all people. It seems, some of the Pharisees acted on this.

A Prescriptive Analytic Approach to Suicide Prevention
The same shame and stigma associated with depression apply to those at risk for suicide. Often people contemplating suicide mistakenly feel that they are a burden to those around them, making them even less likely to confide their dark thoughts to anyone. By the time someone writes a suicide note, it's likely too late to intervene.
This tragedy touches far too many lives. Suicide leads all causes of death in all age groups. For people aged 15 to 34, only unintended non-lethal injury occurs more frequently. Between 1999 and 2014, the per capita rate of suicide increased 24 percent. Suicide took the lives of more than 44,000 people in 2015. Within the general population, the suicide attempt rate is about 0.5%.
The Jvion Machine applies artificial intelligence to understand comprehensive clinical, socioeconomic and other data to identify suicide risk within a community or patient population. The Jvion Suicide/Self-harm Vector helps tackle this growing problem by identifying those most at risk of having an emergency department or inpatient visit due to self-harm, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, or suicide in the next six months.
Here's one example of how AI-enabled prescriptive analytic technology, tuned rapidly to focus on self-harm and suicide risk, can identify risks that might otherwise go undetected. The Association for Suicide Prevention lists increased alcohol use among many factors that indicate suicide risk. A patient undergoing routine bloodwork might return an elevated liver enzyme panel—a possible marker for excessive alcohol intake. As an isolated data point, it may not raise alarm for depression or suicidal thoughts, especially if the patient isn't forthcoming about his or her drinking habits. The doctor might schedule follow up such as a hepatitis panel, or simply tell the patient they will continue to monitor the enzyme counts in future visits.
The Jvion Machine, however, understands that clinical data as part of a comprehensive patient picture. Paired with other clinical and exogenous data, the machine can see risk that might go unseen (or unspoken) otherwise. It can identify the 5 percent of people who are at more than 10X risk of a suicide attempt. For 10,000 patients, the machine can narrow the scope of clinical action to the 500 who are at risk of whom 50 will attempt suicide. Recommendations for intervention focus on screening and matching individual patients with the most effective resources.
Suicide is the ultimate tragedy for victims and their loved ones. New frontiers in AI-enable prescriptive technology are providing hope and opportunities for prevention and intervention we couldn't have imagined even a few years ago. It's truly a miracle of healing potential.

Easy vegetarian stuffed peppers you can bake in either the oven or the Air Fryer.
Air Fryer Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Spring is here but the weather is still chilly. Comfort food is called for today so I'm making stuffed peppers using quinoa in place of rice and meat. Baking this recipe in the air fryer is a breeze.
Quinoa is so versatile. It's a good-for-you grain that has a lot of protein and it is said to regulate blood sugar levels.
Since I've been trying to eliminate some carbs from our diet, quinoa has been my go-to grain.
Quinoa can be cooked and 'dressed up' as you would any rice recipe, preparing it in different ways and often making it in place of rice pilaf. Just by adding a variety of vegetables the results are always different.
Here is another Quinoa recipe for #MeatlessMonday, Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini.
I saw this recipe for quinoa stuffed peppers in Family Circle Magazine and decided to give it a try. There were a few spices added to the recipe that I knew my family would not appreciate. So in my usual fashion when I find a new recipe I "change it up" to fit my familys' preference.
No surprise, I made a few little changes. I used golden raisins in place of the figs and I added walnuts along with the cashews. The mixture was a little loose or crumbly so I added an egg to help bind it and keep it together.Print

Greek wines continue on their rise toward German and international recognition
Frasdorf, February 2014 - The "Greek wine award", which makes Greek wine with its autochthonous varietals more readily accessible to German winelovers, in its fourth occurrence has again revealed the incredible variety of wines from Hellas.
Greek wine export to Germany is in a difficult phase. Nevertheless, following intensive discussions with the winemakers locally and at visits to local trade fairs, WINE System AG was able to initiate the Greek wine award for its fourth year. Thanks also go to the wine importers that support the competition and keep their winemakers informed about the importance of the competition.
The winemakers have realized how necessary it is to demonstrate perseverance; they appreciate the professional PAR tasting, and many have repeatedly participated with their wines. No easy task at a time in which the Greek economy and financial strength have not yet recovered from the downslide.
This year's results also reflect the diverse characteristics of the wines according to growing region. From the cold north to sunny Crete - "cool climate - hot climate"- is the experts' catchphrase, since especially the climate has an enormous impact on the wine.
The results are impressive: 2x Grand Gold - 17 Gold - 25 Silver.

Ozone Therapy Sepsis
Ozone Therapy Sepsis
Ozone Prophylactic Effect and Antibiotics as a Modulator of Inflammatory Septic process in Rats
Zullyt B. Zamora 1, S. Menéndez 1, M. Bette 2, R. Mutters 3, S.Hoffmann 4 and S. Schulz 4. 1 Ozone Research Center, Havana, Cuba. 2 Institute of Anatomy Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Marburg, Germany. 3 Institute of Microbiology, University of Marburg, Germany. 4 Institute of Animals Laboratory, University of Marburg, Germany
192 Wistar male rats (180- 200 g) were used to evaluate the prophylactic effect of ozone combined with antibiotics in septic shock model. The proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6 and IL-2) expression were also determined in different haematopoietic organs. The animals were taken at random and divided into 16 groups, 12 animals each: Group A, positive control (sepsis without treatment); groups B and C treated with ozone (200 ug / 250 g b. w) and Cefotaxime (25mg/kg), (0h, +1h) and (+1 h) respectively; groups D and E, ozone and Cefodizime (25mg/kg (0h, +1h) and (+1 h) respectively; groups F and G ozone and levofloxacin (12.5 mg/kg), (0h, +1h) and (+1 h) respectively; groups H and I ozone and Piperacillin /Tazobactam (65mg/kg), (0h, +1h) and (+1 h) respectively. The septic shock was carried out by single intraperitoneal injection of fecal material (0.65 g/kg b/w) from a donor rat, diluted in saline solution 0.9%. The other groups (J-P) of animals were treated only with antibiotics.
The group pretreated with ozone and antibiotics showed a significant increase in the survival rate and showed also a decrease of IL-1β mRNA expression in liver. Ozone pretreatment might prevent lethal peritonitis by controlling inflammatory process generated physiologically into the body against specific damage or specific organism.

I was travelling by autorikshaw from station towards Godbunder Road beyond Suraj Water Park. It is almost impossible to get the rikshaw from station if you don't follow the queue outside the station. (There is no fixed location of this queue. This moves as per people's wishes)
After some struggle luckily I could get one rikshaw without the queue. Now while getting down I had heated argument with this Rikshawala. Thane Rikshaws anyway charge more than Mumbai. This rikshawala started charging additional Rs. 5 for Petrol Rikshaw. This is another surprise for me. Why should I bother If Rikshaw is running on Petrol or CNG? infact it is Rikshawala who should suffer for polluting the city. What I understand is that, this system is not authorized by RTO and there is not even separate rate card for Petrol based Rikshaw charges.
I had seen one more Rikshaw claiming his autorikshaw runs on Petrol and asking for more money. Later on I realized that actualy that was running on CNG.
All I recommend to my Thane friends is be careful with these burglars.

Written by Claire Atkinson M.A. (Cantab.), Qualified Dog Behaviourist and Certified Tellington Touch® Practitioner
"No! No… no Fido!" I see the frustrated owner at the end of her leash (pun intended). And Fido is, well, not at the end of the leash; but why is the owner upset? I don't know exactly what Fido is doing to upset his owner. And neither does Fido.
Fido does not understand our language. He can, however, learn to associate a word with an action. So we have a short, simple vocabulary of words we use to encourage our dogs to respond appropriately. 'Sit' means "put your butt on the floor"; it is a specific word that results (hopefully) in a specific reaction.
"NO, don't chase the other dog"; "NO, don't bark"; "NO, don't jump"... none of these work because, firstly, the dog does not reason in a human way by hearing a word and then making the connection, such as "Oh, she means I mustn't jump." Non-specific word equals non-specific reaction. Also, note the negativity: "no – don't do that". Even the best-behaved behaviourists sometimes use 'no'. For me, it's a knee-jerk reaction while I work out an alternative.
Whatever our reaction, the fact is that we have an alternative – and that alternative is 'Yes'. We get to 'yes' when we decide what we do want the dog to do: give him a cue word, he responds, we praise 'Yes' and we give him a yummy treat. The chances are that the behaviour will be repeated. Success!
This is how it works: Fido jumps up on visitors; it is a behaviour you wish to change. 'No' clearly hasn't worked (and nor will any form of punishment). The behaviour I would like is for Fido to 'sit' when visitors arrive. First I have to teach him this word and its associated response. I do this often, starting with food time. 'Sit' – butt on floor, food on the table, as it were.
He is now aware that this command means yummy stuff is coming. So you can move along to asking him to sit in various places at different times. Gain his attention, and when he's focused on you, ask him to sit. As soon as he does, say 'yes', give him a treat and a pat, and let him go. Repeated often, consistently (that means every member of the family does it in the same way) it doesn't take long for Fido to work out that 'sit' means butt on floor, yummy treat, 'yes' and a pat on the back.
You can now use this to prevent him from jumping or eating your best shoes – you replace "don't do that" with "do this". Fido, like most dogs, likes to please and appreciates clear communication. You are setting yourself and your dog up for success – win-win all round.
If you are into serious training, you may use a clicker and/or hand signals. I find both useful – especially hand signals because dogs communicate through body language, so my hand straight up means 'sit'. But wherever you are at, losing 'no' and gaining 'yes' will get the results you would like, and you and your dog will be the happier for that.
'Yes' is the new 'No'. Because it works. Simple.

About Us
WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over four full decades.
The idea for the station in Marshfield, Massachusetts emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol Ebert (now Carol Perry) and I made in December of 1972. We discovered an FM Channel then in use on Martha's Vineyard could be used in a wide area of Cape Cod and the South Shore if the FCC would agree to assign a different frequency to the Vineyard station. Our mission on the trip was to try and guess which areas would offer the best chance for economic success five years later. (Five years is the average time it takes to bring a radio station from the "idea" to "broadcasting" stage). After touring a dozen towns we decided the Marshfield area held the greatest promise. In February, 1973 we filed the first round of paperwork with the FCC.
网赌赢回来The first obstacle was finding money. We weren't even married yet and had nothing in the bank. Fortunately, Bill Blackmore, a neighbor of ours in Duxbury, read about the FM proposal and offered to become a partner. With his support Rockland Trust agreed to lend us enough to build the station if the FCC approved it. The next problem was the Vineyard FM station which fought our attempts to change their frequency. Then a station in Worcester on 96.1 MHz opposed us on the grounds that we'd interfere with their signals and complained that a station in Marshfield would never find economic support and would be gone in a year anyway. Finally, in 1977, the FCC denied all objections and granted us a permit to build the station. We thought our troubles were over. They weren't.
We'd originally proposed a transmitter site on Pudding Hill in Marshfield behind the town water tank. But access problems developed and the town wanted to buy the land for conservation. So we took an option of some land on Carolina Hill. But unfortunately the Conservation Commission bought that land as part of their open space program. Finally we went out and bought six acres next to the town landfill. With only the dump for a close neighbor we thought our hearing for a permit to build a tower would be a piece of cake. But nearly 200 people showed up to question everything from the need for a radio station in town to the prospect of squirrels climbing the guy wires and slipping to their deaths. One person worried about geese flying into the tower on their way South. We thought we were dead but the Zoning Board actually approved the tower (along with a requirement to fence the guy points to keep kids and wildlife off the guy wires). But we realized then that our choice of a site beside the landfill was probably the only thing which favored our permit. And after a victory party where more than a few libations were lifted, we asked the FCC for the call letters WATD…"We're at the Dump!"
The Station broadcast its first full day of programming on December 6, 1977 from rented studios across from Lou's Restaurant on Route 139. Our first test was the Blizzard of 1978. Using gasoline generators which the announcers would refill every two hours, we kept the station on the air for nearly a week supplying emergency information. Those broadcasts got the station noticed and probably doubled our audience.
网赌赢回来Later in 1978 we began operating the first studio radio reading service for the blind in New England. Using a subcarrier on the WATD signal (the kind usually used to send background music to supermarkets) volunteers came to a special studio at the station and read newspapers and magazines to a dozen receiver-equipped blind residents of the area. That small service has grown to become the Talking Information Center, a nonprofit statewide network providing service to more than 20,000 visually handicapped persons in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.
网赌赢回来In 1986 we moved into our own new studio building on Enterprise Drive. We invested in additional remote pickup facilities and began operating 24 hours a day. We also invested in two large generators to run the station during power failures. Since then we've been through hurricanes, blizzards, and coastal storms losing only a few minutes of air time.
Today, WATD is one of the most respected and honored stations in the state. For the past ten years, the Associated Press has given WATD the "Bay State Award" signifying the best local news operation in the state. We are one of the few radio stations ever to win five Edward R. Murrow Awards for national news excellence.
WATD is a full service regional radio station, the way some of the old line Boston stations used to be. We offer excellent local and regional news, unmatched live coverage of local breaking stories, live high school sports coverage and we even have our own weatherman based in Hull and an award winning locally produced children's show. All of our announcers are "Boston Quality" and our music is oriented toward an adult audience.
It's a family operation. It's not for sale. And it's staffed by some of the best people in the business. And, even after 40 years, we're still having fun.

3 Great Ways to See the Northern Lights
Hunting the Northern Lights in Lapland will always be a truly incredible experience, but why not do it in style?
Here are three great ways to make your Northern Lights holiday even more of a once in a lifetime experience:
Our First Northern Lights Experience
There are various theories flying around online suggesting that the Aurora Borealis is going to disappear as the current cycle (Solar Cycle 24) enters its declining stage to 'Solar Minimum'.
Such theories are frustrating because, as our Managing Director Ali McLean will tell you, the inspiration for The Aurora Zone was born on two consecutive nights in 2008 when we were at the lowest point of Solar Cycle 23.
My first auroras …..
One of the bests parts about working for The Aurora Zone is we are privileged enough to get the chance to witness one of nature's most magnificent spectacles.
But just to put your mind at rest it is not like other industries whereby once you are on the inside you know the secrets so you can be quietly smug when you see the average Joe trying to achieve the same.
No, there is no magic aurora switch that only travel aurora specialists have access to….we have to go through the same trials and tribulations as our clients, 'Will they, won't they appear', of, 'Is that shadow? Is that cloud moving? Can I see a hint of green?'

An Honest Review of Dragon Naturally Speaking
Have you ever struggled to write? As a new writer I have been struggling to produce enough content. While I was watching television (instead of writing as usual), I happened to notice the Dragon Naturally Speaking software being showcased on the shopping channel. I saw this offer before but I had not really looked into buying it because I assumed that it would cost too much money. However, after looking online, I was able to find a pretty good price for the software that was reasonable. So I bought it and here is my review so far.
Once you finally set it up, the Dragon Naturally Speaking is incredibly easy to use. The newest version of the software contains a training video which will walk you through the steps to set up the program. Now I will say that about the stuff of after singing on TV so I did have some hesitation about how easy it would actually be to use. However after using it for a few hours, I know that it will help me produce a significant amount of content.
Setting it up
The software is easy to set up. You only have to insert the installation disk and click on it in order to begin setup process. Often people have problems because they do not follow the exact directions
that accompany the disks. In order to have an easy installation, you should make sure that you only run the Dragon Naturally Speaking on your computer. This means that you should not run any other programs while you are installing the software, this includes your antivirus program. After installing the software, you should consult the training video.
I have been trying out various aspects of the software to see if it was actually worth the money. After trying it for a few weeks, I decided that this is an investment that I must keep. I like the ability to use my voice to control the computer. You can use the software to search documents, search the internet, and obviously type articles. You can even add stylistic features (like italics, bold, and underline) to your document with the software.
Unconventional Working
I am one of those people that can't sit still for too long. I usually work for a while and then go take a break. While using Dragon, I can walk around the room, write while exercising, or even lay down if I want to. If you get a headset without a wire, you can write while you are away from the computer screen.
Perhaps the reason why I like this offer so much is because I realize the advantage of not having to look at my screen all day. As with any other software Dragon will of course require some amount of editing and some amount of work to learn how to use it but in the end the payoff appears to be great.
If you want a way to improve the amount of work that you produce, you should consider the Dragon Naturally Speaking Software.


text: FSIS Launches Electronic Label Submission Approval System The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recently launched a new web-based label approval system that streamlines the agency's review process for meat, poultry, and egg product labels. The Label Submission Approval System (LSAS) will make it possible for food manufacturers to submit label applications electronically, will flag application submission errors that could delay the approval process, and will allow users to track the progress of their submission. The LSAS is a "secure" web-based software application that integrates and implements an electronic label application process for establishments to submit label applications and appeals. FSIS states that the benefits of the system include:The ability to submit label applications, appeals, and supporting information electronically via the Internet;• Alerts that will notify users of errors in label applications at the time of submittal;The ability for establishments to track the status of label applications or appeals electronically;Enhanced communication mechanisms, such as messaging within LSAS, which will allow LPDD to communicate problems with labels immediately and permit the submitter to correct the issues and resubmit the labels more expeditiously;The ability for establishments to obtain prior approvals as well as information from label application forms, such as ingredients, processes, special claims, and other specific label related information, from an electronic database; andAn option, called the Generic Label Advisor (GLA), to assist an establishment in determining if a label can be generically approved.For more info, a user guide for industry, instructions for accessing the system, and FAQ's, here is an OFW Memo and a Press Release from USDA.
