Convergence of Electronics, Materials, Chemicals and Textiles Industries Fostering New Advances in S(...)
|(Nanowerk News) New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, finds that on-going developments in the field of smart fabrics hold out tremendous potential for the concept, promising their use in the likes of healthcare applications.
|The convergence of textiles, chemical engineering, materials and electronics is likely to lead to the evolution of the next generation of smart fibers and fabrics that can genuinely act in an intelligent manner.
|New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (ti.frost.com), Advances in High Tech Polymer Fibers and Smart Fabrics, finds that on-going developments in the field of smart fabrics hold out tremendous potential for the concept, promising their use in the likes of healthcare applications (remotely monitoring health parameters), security (detecting danger and calling for help), and display of helpful data (communication through Internet or communication between people).
|"Smart fabrics/textiles comprise of smart materials and structures that sense and react to external environmental conditions and can alter their own state and functionality," notes Frost and Sullivan Research Analyst R.Srimathy. "Potential applications for these innovative textiles include building flexible sensing systems, detection of chemicals, gases and generation of mobile power, among others."
|Furthermore, their gamut of applications could widen ever further once industry experts enable these textiles to carry data and power. Realizing this, researchers and scientists across the globe are working toward using light as the power source for wearables. Researchers from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, have developed innovative synthetic fibers that generate electricity when exposed to light. Researchers believe that the fibers could be woven into washable clothes that make it applicable in portable solar cells.
|Nanotechnology is another area that is driving the development of smart textiles while continuing to provide the necessary impetus for research in this sector. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) based fibers are said to be the ultimate textile fiber, having a unique blend of properties. These fibers are fine, approximately one nanometer in size, very strong, light in weight, have high specific strength and are electrically and thermally conductive.
|Interestingly, ultra-strong CNT fibers made of lightweight CNTs developed by Los Alamos scientist Yuntian Zhu are said to be tougher than diamonds and one-ten-thousandth of a human hair in diameter. The company has named these ultrastrong CNT fibers as SuperThread. Researchers envision the use of these materials in airplanes, automobiles, and sports equipment. Other applications include bulletproof vests, electronic devices and artificial limbs.
|Nowithstanding such progresses in technology, development of products using smart textile technology remains a highly expensive affair, demanding enormous R&D spending. This cost factor is a major barrier to ensuring their affordability and will continue to remain unaddressed until there is a mass acceptance of products using this technology.
|"In addition to price concerns, issues related to the durability and performance of smart fabrics exist" says Srimathy. "The other notable challenge is the physical integration of fabrics with traditional rigid electronics, which requires new approaches to interface and interconnect designs."
|Overall, this sophisticated and complicated technology has now gained entry in the market from research laboratories and is set to have a substantial impact on the textile industry. There is rapidly growing market for smart fabrics and in the future, wearables will be seen in biomedical devices, sportswear, communication systems, display technologies, military garments, and sensor networks.
|Advances in High Tech Polymer Fibers and Smart Fabrics is part of the Technical Insights Subscription. It provides an overview of smart fabrics along with key drivers, challenges, advances and ongoing developments related to their various applications. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine smart fabrics used for medical, military, and personal protection applications. Interviews with the press are available.

Dedicated to providing multidisciplinary medical care and backed by state-of-the-art facilities
When you are busy caring about Sports, we care for what you need the most – Resilience and Stamina
The body of a sportsperson is unique which is why the care that it needs is also unique. Some of the most important aspects of the life of a sportsperson are stamina, resilience and a "Never to retreat" attitude. These defining features ideally determine the success or failure in the field of sports. Therefore, we bring to you a combination of medical services that can assist you in overcoming major to minor speed bumps as a sportsperson. The fact that we have a dedicated approach to your issues opens up opportunities that are pioneering and are cut out to resolve professional sports injuries in an efficient manner.
It is understood through experience that any injury alters the way an individual plays a sport. Our mission is to fill in these gaps of "before and after" an injury so much so that it no longer poses a possible threat to your career. Some of the most common injuries that occur include: Ligament sprains, ACL & PCL tears, Rotator cuff tears, Meniscus Tears, Shoulder Dislocations, Frozen Shoulder, Cartilage Injuries, Hamstring Muscle Strains, Elbow Tendinitis and Heel Pain. Moreover, when the overall performance of an individual involved in a sports activity is reduced through injuries, we help in enhancing the ability to make a "Star" re-entry in to the field you love the most with the health and fitness you need intact.
Cells have regenerative potential, we have employed this quality in the "Stem Cell Treatment" that we provide. Stem cell therapy allows body to heal itself, it saves joints by regeneration and preservation, and helps avoid replacement of joints. With the help of "Image Guiding Injections", we can potentially reduce the pain that you experience through 'blind' procedures earlier. Every sportsperson has a maximum athletic performance, and through our dedicated approach, we help you reach that through certain fitness tests that go hand in hand with the sports nutritionists and psychologists that ensure your physical and mental health. As they say, that "Prevention is better than Cure", we assist you in educating you with the techniques that help you prevent injuries in the future while taking extreme care of the vulnerable areas of your body susceptible to possible injuries.

Duke wins … sigh
Duke beat UNC. If you haven't heard yet, something's wrong with you.
I expected the Blue Devils to win, but to be honest, I didn't think it was going to be as close as it was. The Heels were managed to come back from a 17-point deficit to walk away with a respectable 4-point loss. Granted, had J.J. Redick's shooting game been on in the first-half, the score would have been a lot different, but UNC definitely fought hard.
Redick scored 22 of his 35 points in the second half and drained five 3-pointers. Carolina's Reyshawn Terry had a big night with 17 points. The forward provided a surge of energy for the Heels early in the first half to keep the game fairly close. But come halftime, his team just couldn't hang on.
Hansbrough added 14 points and 9 rebounds. Duke's Josh McRoberts overpowered his counterpart, David Noel, with a season-high 17 points.
The game was hyped up, as it should be, but it shadowed over some other big games. No. 4 Villanova came back from being behind 12 points at halftime to beat Saint Joseph's 71-58. Kyle Lowry stepped up big for the Wildcats, scoring 17 out of his 25 points in the second half. The win gave 'Nova reign over the Big 5 – one of the most heated conference rivalries between Saint Joseph's, Villanova, La Salle, Penn and Temple.
Maryland also came away with a 76-65 win over Virginia. Coach Gary Williams earned his 349th win becoming the school's leader in coaching wins.
No. 14 Tennessee overpowered Kentucky as Chris Lofton scored a career-high 31 points. The Vols ended an 8-game losing streak to the Wildcats and secured the top spot of the SEC conference.
Overall, I'd say it was pretty good day in college basketball. That is, if you're not a Tar Heel fan.

Found lots more caterpillars. They were really eating up the tops of the plants. That, of course, is where all the new tender leaves are. They're no dummies.
I dust sprayed with DE for a second time. Hope this helps the problem. I have been force spraying with water, but it wasn't doing enough. Of course, it doesn't help that my neighbor's hibiscus is still filled with white fly.
The artists come to work in the garden again tomorrow. We are videotaping interviews with each of them. Lots of tomatoes to distribute to all who come.

All over the place
I know. I know. I owe you guys pics and project notes of the Sleepy Monkey Blanket that I tweeted about being finished. Patience my pretties!
With work and finishing up some knitting, visits and keeping on top of my little guy's activities, I'm not quite sure where this term has gone.
What I have noticed though, is that as often happens when I'm overwhelmed, my organisation skills fall victim to an untidyness that can only be seen to be believed. Witness my shame:
That my friends is my workbench, which not only holds my stash but *should* also be able to hold and keep organised various projects as I work on them at the same time, or in a queue, and thus help keep *me* focused. Sadly, my system has failed and has happens periodically, needs to be reset.
In all the busyness, my workbench has become a dumping ground (and let's not even talk about the area in front of the bench, or the floor of the office off-camera!). I was reading about New Year's cleaning traditions and it being bad luck to have the old year's dirt stay with you into the new year instead of being swept out with the old year. Knowing that I have some big plans for 2014 in terms of work and projects, it seemed like just as good a time as any to start getting that solid footing sorted out.
So I've been clearing out the piles and binning random bits and filing others, which is also helping in terms of my planning for 2014. Some my 2013 goals fell by the wayside quite early on and I suspect that having goals without necessarily having a plan for those goals was where things fell down.
It's a start. hopefully it will make things easier when I do a stash tidy-up to see what hasn't been put in right storage container, what hasn't been logged on Ravelry, and of course the stash toss to keep a vigilant eye out for critters...!
More to come!

After taking a second look at our teen Summer Reading Challenge books (Reading List #2), we have decided to take two of our books–The Story of Owen and Saving Juliet–and replace them with other books. If you have already bought the original books, we deeply apologize. Hopefully you'll see the wisdom of this change in the paragraph below. First, though, I do have two suggestions if you're in this boat: 1) Amazon does have a book buy-back service which claims to offer up to 80% of what you paid for a book, and 2) We do still plan to do a review of both books. In the case of The Story of Owen, because it needs quite a bit of filtering through a Christian worldview, we will offer some discussion questions and audio to help your teens sort wheat from chaff. (In other words, we'll give The Story of Owen the same amount of attention as our summer reading books–but not the same amount of exposure, hopefully.)
Why the Change?
Both The Story of Owen and Saving Juliet have some merit, and we still think that they may be used profitably by mature Christian readers. However, these books have a little more offensive material in them than we feel comfortable with for a summer reading book; they also aren't really appropriate for younger teens, whom we want to feel welcome in our read along. In particular, Saving Juliet has more sexual themes than we wanted to deal with, and The Story of Owen is a more in your face about homosexual marriage than we wanted to address in a summer reading setting. It's the kind of serious subject that ought to have its own focus…which we plan to give it in good time.
So, this miscommunication is absolutely my fault–I was not clear with my editors what I was looking for in a summer reading book. Thus, we have gone back to our top picks, and chosen a new list based on two criteria–fun, less problematic books that have a lot of good-for-you moral and spiritual content we can feel comfortable talking about with most teens. I don't want to go so far as say ALL teens, but these selections are about as safe morally as you can get without losing all the drama.
In summary, I very much regret any trouble my mistake has caused you, dear readers. And while we'll never be perfect, we do promise that next time we'll be more careful to keep everyone on the same page.
A New Kind of List
Since we have decided to choose new books, I'm taking the opportunity to try a new idea: we have been planning to extend our summer reading challenge into several year-round reading challenges. In the spring and fall, I would like for us to offer 1) one fantastic new read, 2) one classic or book tied to what's in the news (like our Ukraine posts) and 3) one literary movie tie-in.
So, following that model, here are the new books we'd like to cover this summer:
- Weeks One and Two, June 16-27: The Dragon's Tooth (Ashtown Burials #1) by N. D. Wilson
- Weeks Two and Three, June 30-July 11: Out of the Silent Planet (Space Trilogy) by C.S. Lewis
- Weeks Four and Five, July 14-25: Genesis in Space and Timeby Francis Schaeffer and/or The Giver (Giver Quartet)by Lois Lowry
You'll note that the first book is our fairly new but fantastic story–one I hope guys and girls will equally enjoy. Out of the Silent Planet, of course, is a classic. And The Giver is coming out as a movie on Aug. 1. (If your family has already read The Giver, here is Janie's review of Son, which is the latest sequel to Lowry's original book. If your teens are older and have already read the original, they might consider that as an alternative. But it definitely has more mature characters and problems, and that's why we're sticking with the original for this read along.) Genesis in Space and Time is probably the best option for older readers, because it's a classic in its own right about what time means in the Christian worldview. It is nonfiction, though, so not every teen will see it as summer fun.
DISCUSSION: Please let me know below if you think this still doesn't hit the spot for your teens…maybe this is too "safe" for your college aged readers and you'd like to see us tackle more problematic stuff for them sometime?
Please know, again, I am very sorry for the original miscommunication. We really are working very hard to try to make your reading lives better, so please let us know how you think we could accomplish that goal.

The foreign players are helpful for the development of football in this country-Guimaraes
The Mumbai boss also refuted the suggestion that his team are a one-man team…
After a draw against Chennaiyin FC at Marina Arena in less than 72 hours, Mumbai City FC have to take on NorthEast United at their home ground on Saturday. But their Costa Rican boss Alexandre Guimares is all set to take on the challenge against the Highlanders and is looking for full points to reach the the top of the table. "Every team has to go through that. I saw the faces of the players and they looked in a good state." said the coach. "We had light practice today and then we have the situation of the game tomorrow. We don't put excuses and we have to play well to get points from here," further added the manager.
On being quizzed about the injury concerns for the squad, he explained, "I make three possible line-ups everyday and then I have to confirm with the doctors if they can play or not. That will depend tomorrow morning after we talk to the players and the doctors who update me for the players coming out of injuries. We are doing well right? So, you have got to see."
"We hope to form our first game we have been in the top four till now, will try hard to keep that position, they are also like in the same situations, they were in top four, injuries like us, they are tough and we need to get the game under our control." said Guimares about the opponent NorthEast United FC.
The coach refused to accept the suggestion of Mumbai being all about Diego Forlan and said, "All the players are prepared and none of them have disappointed us. We can count on all players in each position. All of them have minutes under their belt and it speaks volumes."
Halfway through the season the teams are now jostling for positions in the play-offs. "We need to keep doing what we have done and the teams are racing towards the finish line. It's hard to keep what we have been keeping from the beginning, but I am confident that we will do it."
Taking a question on whether the ISL will maintain the same level of quality if the numbers of foreigners have to decrease in each team the coach said, "Well, this is my first season in the ISL and I don't have a good idea about the other two seasons what the foreigners from the teams brought to the ISL. My experience from these eight games is that, when you introduce new games, develop new leagues, youngsters and kids have to have different kinds of examples, different kinds of players and the level of the foreign players that the ISL has introduced is helpful for the development of football in this country," concluded the coach of MCFC.

WALK DOWN GREENE Street in SoHo today and you'll pass an Apple Store, a Ralph Lauren store, and a variety of other high-end retailers. A hundred forty years ago, you'd be walking by brothels. The street has been up and down (and up again) several times in its 400 year history, as a fascinating new website illustrates with maps, graphics, and historical photos.
There's a ton of data behind the flashy graphics, pulled from the US Census Bureau, city directories, and other sources. Economist William Easterly of New York University and colleagues made the site to accompany a research paperthey're getting ready to submit to a journal. "It's a very wonky paper full of academic jargon," Easterly says. "This [website] is meant to make it more accessible."

Beach litter
It's that time of year again when some people's thoughts turn to cleaning up our beaches. From September 14th to 17th, The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) are organising their annual Beachwatch Big Weekend in which, last year, 4,375 people took part on 335 beaches and collected 247,914 pieces of litter over 142 km of beach, averaging 1,741 pieces of litter every kilometre and amounting to a total of 2,177 bags of rubbish.
Many of the volunteers who take part also carry out a survey of their beach to identify the most common forms of litter found on beaches. Last year, the main culprits were plastic pieces and items, polystyrene, crisp/sweet/lolly wrappers, string and cord, plastic drink bottles and glass. And cotton buds are still up there in the top 10.
There is much argument about where the litter that ends up on beaches actually comes from. MCS thinks that as much as 40% of it is either dropped on the beach or blown there from inland.
I suspect that many of us think that beach litter is a distant problem and is simply the cause of a dirty beach without any further consequences.
The wonderful film "Message in the Waves" (made by Rebecca Hosking who instigated the "plastic bag free" movement in her home town of Modbury in Devon) drew our attention to the problem of plastic litter in the Pacific ocean and the terrible destruction that it causes to sea birds and other marine life. It is a very emotive film but can leave viewers thinking that marine litter is a problem only in the Pacific.
Not so. Recent reports from The Isle of Man should make us think again. Within a two-week period, not only was a grey seal sighted with plastic around its throat but also a basking shark was seen with plastic around its nose. The kayaker who spotted the shark commented : "I often see animals which have been the victim of litter and maybe if more people saw the damage it causes they would be more careful…..basking sharks are incredibly rare and seeing one in distress is very upsetting".
So do have a look at the Beachwatch website and join in with a beach clean near you in September if you can. Not only will you help to make a beach pleasant for adults and children to enjoy – you will also make a difference to the livelihood of birds and animals that unwittingly have their lives endangered by human carelessness.

Garcinia Pure – Pure Garcinia Cambogia Reviews
Garcinia Pure is a diet pill made by Evolution Slimming. These pills use an ingredient called hydroxycitric acid from the garcinia cambogia fruit from Southeast Asia. This ingredient has long been used in that area of the world for cooking and to help with certain health issues. Recently, some people have found that HCA may help you lose weight. Many people use Garcinia Pure to successfully lose weight. As a result, this diet pill offers an addition to your diet plan to help you get good results from your weight loss efforts.
Garcinia Pure Benefits
Garcinia Pure offers a number of benefits. These benefits work together to help you enjoy weight loss success. The main goal, of course, is to meet your weight loss goals. However, other effects (such as a reduced appetite) help you to lose weight by making it easier to eat less or by helping your body to process your food better. Following are a few of the main benefits that Garcinia Pure can provide when used in combination with a diet plan.
Reduced Appetite
One of the ways that Garcinia Pure can help you lose weight is by making you feel less hungry. When you feel less hungry, you eat less. You also eat fewer snacks in between meals, and you may have an easier time avoiding junk food. A reduced appetite also means you feel fuller after you eat. One Garcinia Pure review says that this diet pill helped them to stop feeling hungry soon after each meal. As a result, they ate less and lost weight.
Carbohydrate Conversion
Another benefit that Garcinia Pure may offer is preventing carbohydrates from becoming fat in your body. Some Garcinia Pure reviewers note that they use these pills with a low carbohydrate diet because it helps the diet be more effective. When your body controls your carbs better, you put on less fat. Less fat makes it easier to get the body you want.
Weight Loss
Weight loss is the main goal of using Garcinia Pure. It is also one of the benefits promised by many different diet pills. However, Garcinia Pure is unique in how it helps you lose weight. By reducing your appetite and making it harder for your body to absorb carbohydrates, it makes it easier for you to stick to your diet plan. It can also make your diet plan more effective. As a result, it can help you lose weight by helping you to eat less and by helping your body to store fewer carbohydrates as fat.
Garcinia Pure Ingredients
The only active ingredient in Garcinia Pure is garcinia cambogia extract. Each pill contains about 1000mg of this extract. This extract is made up of 60 percent hydroxycitric acid (HCA). This is the acid that is praised for its ability to help people lose weight, feel less hungry, and process carbohydrates more efficiently. As a result, Garcinia Pure only needs to use garcinia cambogia to achieve its weight loss results because this extract is strong enough to provide you with a variety of weight loss benefits all by itself.
In addition, these pills are carefully designed to maximize the benefits you enjoy. For instance, when you take the recommended three pills a day, you get 3,000 mg of extract in your system. This is the same amount that some health professionals recommend. In addition, the 60 percent concentration of HCA is thought to be ideal for achieving weight loss success. As a result, you can be sure that Garcinia Pure is giving you as many benefits as possible.
The Garcinia Pure ingredients also include some inactive ingredients. Unlike the ingredients in some other diet pills, these ingredients are wheat-free, lactose free, dairy free, caffeine free, potassium-free, salt free, preservative free, dye free, and meat-free. As a result, it is suitable for anyone who has special dietary restrictions (such as vegans or vegetarians). This means that almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of Garcinia Pure, even if they cannot take other diet pills.
Ingredient Quality
Garcinia Pure is meant to do more than help you lose weight. It is meant to help you lose weight safely. As a result, these pills are made from extract that is 100 percent pure. This means that there are no added elements (such as calcium or potassium). Plus, the pills are made in the United Kingdom in facilities that have been approved by the FDA and MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency). Garcinia Pure also comes with a Doctor Trusted certification to ensure its quality. The result is a diet pill that is intended to be safe to use. It also means that this is a pill that is intended to keep you as healthy and successful as possible while you lose weight.
Garcinia Pure Side Effects
Because Garcinia Pure does not contain additives such as caffeine, there are minimal side effects. The Garcinia Pure side effects that you might encounter include some stomach upset, dizziness, or a dry mouth. However, even these side effects are generally mild. Most Garcinia Pure reviews do not note having any side effects with these pills. The result is a diet pill that should help you maximize weight loss success with a minimum of unpleasant side effects.
How to Use
Garcinia Pure should be used according to the instructions on the package. This includes taking three pills a day, one before each meal. In addition, you should take each pill with a glass of water. When you take these pills before a meal, you should wait at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes) before eating to allow the pills to take effect. Some reviewers report taking only two tablets a day successfully. Garcinia Pure should never be taken in place of a meal. In addition, consulting a doctor before taking any dietary supplement or medication is recommended.
Garcinia Pure Reviews
Most Garcinia Pure reviews praise this diet pill for helping the user to lose weight fast (up to 2 pounds a week). In addition, some reviewers note that these pills have helped them to lose weight even when other diets and methods did not work. As a result, Garcinia Pure possesses the kind of strong reviews that can give you peace of mind when deciding whether to buy Garcinia Pure or not.
Garcinia Pure may be able to help you meet your weight loss goals. Its garcinia cambogia extract and HCA can help you to feel less hungry and control your portion sizes. As a result, it can help you to stick to your diet plan and enjoy the weight loss success you have been looking for.

AIDS, the terrifying disease. Condoms, the most widely available safeguard against the spread of the sexually transmitted illness. Those combined facts have shattered the long-held taboo against advertising such prophylactics on broadcast television. While some cable systems have carried condom commercials, ABC, CBS and NBC have steadfastly refused, contending that the ads would offend some communities. No local station would broadcast them either -- until now. First San Francisco's KRON-TV, an NBC affiliate, announced it would end its ban, and plans to start airing three 15-second spots for Trojan condoms in February. "Someone had to break the ice," said Station General...

KUALA LUMPUR (25/01/2017) : The police have arrested 33 people for buying cloned vehicles that were smuggled into Malaysia and confiscated 33 vehicles worth RM3mil.
The 33 - aged between 25 and 40 years old - were arrested between 2015 and 2016 under an operation codenamed Ops Lejang Khas, said Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Sukri Kaman.
ACP Mohd Sukri added that owning a cloned vehicle is a crime punishable under Section 29(1) of the Minor Laws Act 1955 and said that the police will take action against anyone guilty of purchasing cloned vehicles.
He noted that the 33 individuals arrested under Ops Lejang Khas were all buyers, and have already been charged in court.
"Some of them were lured into buying cloned vehicles because the price is much lower than the market value. Some of them were genuinely clueless, but this is not an excuse that we will accept," he said.
ACP Mohd Sukri said cloned vehicles are typically sold for a price between RM20,000 and RM50,000, depending on the make of the car.
He added that buyers are lured into purchasing the vehicles - which are deemed to be "scrap" in the countries they are smuggled from - due to the cheap price.
ACP Sukri said that these cars would usually be advertised on online marketing platforms such as Mudah.my.
"A vehicle that is advertised for a price lower than the market value is dubious. Don't be duped into buying these cheap cars. We urge the public to report any individual found selling cloned vehicles," he added.
Cloned cars often involve scrapped vehicles from Singapore taking on the identity of a Malaysian-registered vehicle with cloned road tax discs and car grants.
The process involves changing the engine and chassis numbers and making cloned road tax discs and car grants with details input into the Road Transport Department (JPJ) system.

A little over a week ago my Mum and I were invited to the Hotter VIP Event at our local store, Queensgate in Peterborough. Walking into Hotter Peterborough is like popping in for a catch-up with your friends. You always receive a warm welcome whether it's your first time or indeed you have been shopping there for years. Everyone gets the VIP treatment, you won't get ignored whilst the Assistants talk about what they did at the weekend and that is something which is really important to me. Good Customer Service costs nothing but is absolutely priceless in making your shopping experience a good one.
Flying the flat for Hotter Originals
The store is currently sporting Union Flag bunting which I assumed was in relating to the recent Summer of Olympics but Area Manager James was excited to tell me that Hotter although Hotter have been making shoes in Lancashire for over 60 years and shipping to over 90 Countries, they had to outsource some of their shoe making to Spain which meant longer lead times and higher costs BUT NOW they have their own equipment which means they will make the majority of their shoes in the UK. For the UK buyers this means they will have more shoes available in each size and they will be available sooner. The Hotter Originals are their main focus and I'm the proud owner of a pair of Tan Shake shoes which will be seeing me on the school run sported with jeans, skirts and thick tights throughout the winter. The Shake was first introduced back in 2010 and since then they have made over 460,000 pairs . . . soooooo many happy feet! Check out the other Hotter Originals; Sugar, Tone, Leanne, Whisper, Mystery and Lance for men.
When Autumn/Winter arrive I tend to do a little jump for joy because I am a boot girl and I practically live in them throughout the Winter months. Last year I decided that I needed an ankle boot and a 'shoe-boot' style to compliment my wardrobe but alas I never found what I was looking for. Last week at the Hotter VIP Event my prayers were answered as I found both and I am extremely happy with my choices.
The Annette Shoes offer 'dual fit' technology which means you can customise the fit of your shoes to your own needs. They have a removable top insole as well as an under sock. To increase the width of the fitting simply remove the top insole and under sock, then replace only the top insole. Great for when you want to wear those super-thick tights with a mini-skirt! The Annette also has soft leather uppers, stretchy inner and outer panels to allow for easy access and foam-cushioned floral linings to pamper your feet.
The Hampton Boot is super comfortable (no kidding, I forgot I was wearing them and nearly left the shop with them still on my feet – whoops). They are a stylish mix of superior quality leather and suede with an attractive buckle strap. My feet are cushioned with underfoot padding, a leather collar, floral fabric lining and a removable leather insole. I CANNOT wait to start styling these up for the Winter, I just need the weather to make it's mind up.
Hotter VIP Treatment
Yet again, Danielle, the Store Manager had pulled together a bunch of lovely pampering treats for their VIP Customers which included a facial from Claire at Liz Earle, John Lewis; a foot massage from Jade at Lush and hair styling by GHD, John Lewis. Oh and did I mention there was cakes, nibbles and wine – there was!!! They even had chocolate from Thorntons, Danielle and her team really know how to spoil you. The first 40 clients who made a purchase on the evening also received a special Hotter Goody Bag which was full of lovely treats and offers to continue the pampering at home.
Liz Earle at John Lewis
Whilst Mum was busy talking Boots with the Hotter team I took a seat and enjoyed a wonderful relaxing facial from Claire at Liz Earle. I began using Liz Earle a few months ago and LOVE the difference in my skin since I began using the Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish treatment. Now, back by popular demand they have re-released the fragrance Rose and Lavender, perfect for a bedtime treat. Delicately fragranced with pure Damask rose petal and French high-altitude lavender essential oils it not only restores the skin but the senses too.
GHD at John Lewis
Unfortunately I can't tell you very much about Natalia from GHD at John Lewis, other than to say she was extremely pretty with the most beautiful hair. I was so busy chatting to everyone else, trying on shoes and being pampered by Claire that Natalia had left before I got a chance to see her so I shall have to pop in to John Lewis to find out more about my favourite hair brand. I have been using GHD since I was a teenager which was *ahem* not really that long ago if you say it fast. GHD offer complimentary styler demonstrations and top tips and tricks to create your perfect hair day. I did see lots of lovely hair styles leaving he Hotter VIP Event, sadly mine was not one of them.
Lush Cosmetics
Jade from Lush was offering foot massages to the Hotter VIP customers which seemed to go down a storm. I explained to Jade that whilst I didn't have time to stop for a massage on the night I would love to pop in and find out more about Lush some other time as I had NEVER set foot in their store since it opened because I assumed they only sold bath bombs and I'm not really a bath kind of girl.
I had a really interesting chat with Jade about what Lush have to offer and she talked me through their range of footcare products which smelt mush less offensive than I expected them to. I particularly liked the Pumice Power which is great for smoothing hardworking skin and is scented with sweet orange oil.
I have since been into Lush for an enjoyable few hours and am now a Lush convert but more about that soon . . .
Getting to grips with The Fane Clinic
Just inside the door to the store I met Adrian from The Fane Clinic in Paston, Peterborough. Not being from Peterborough originally, the name was not one I was familiar with so I asked Adrian to explain a little more. To my delight, I discovered that The Fane Clinic is a team of professional and experienced practitioners offering treatments ranging from Podiatry and Chiropody, Sports Therapy to Rehabilitation and Prevention, Holistic Therapies or Reflexology and Full Body Massage.
Adrian explained that it is now possible to have a Custom Made Orthotic Footbed which can be incorporated into your favourite Hotter sandals and swapped between any Edser recommended styles or Hotter footwear from the same collection.
Adrian showed me a range of the Orthotics they make and explained how each pair is custom made to their client following Biomechanical Analysis assesses their issues and problems. This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for following my many sprained ankles, aches and pains so I'm pleased to report that I shall be working with Adrian very soon to tell you more about The Fane Clinic and will be able to personally share with you the benefit they will hopefully have on my life.

Category: The Death of Paradise Winds
An Albert Pabek Novella
Released September 26, 2013
The suspense-thriller backstory of the Albert Pabek Thriller series.
From Shane Simpson, the author of The Owner, An Albert Pabek Thriller, The Death of Paradise Winds is an Albert Pabek novella set sixteen years before his showdown with Karl Remons.
Both readable as a prequel and a complimentary backstory, the book shares Albert's motivation to seek revenge. Meet a younger Karl Remons – his evil ways have already started. Learn about Albert and Lawrence. And, hear Albert's earliest plans of revenge….
From the Author:
I wrote The Owner, An Albert Pabek Thriller, as the first book in a new series. In The Owner, Albert sails into San Francisco on the first day of summer in 2013. After sixteen years, he is finally ready to avenge the death of his father.
After publishing The Owner, several readers were curious about Albert and the Pabek family. Of course, they wanted to know more about Karl Remons. I thought about their questions and finally decided a prequel was in order. It is the best way to share the earlier relationship of Albert Pabek and Karl Remons.
I sincerely hope you enjoy the Albert Pabek earlier years. This book is set in 1996 and 1997. Don't worry. There are no spoilers in the prequel. My readers can read the books in any order.
The next book in the series is underway now. I have yet to finalize the title. Like The Owner, it will be an action packed, full length suspense thriller. Albert and Teleport leave San Francisco and head for their next adventure. Stay tuned….
Safe journeys,

Emerson Network Power Rugged Processing Blade Now Verified by Cisco for Secure Unified Communications in Federal and Defense Applications
Emerson Network Power Rugged Processing Blade Now Verified by Cisco for Secure Unified Communications in Federal and Defense Applications
Interoperability with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and VMware virtualization software helps simplify and accelerate deployment
TEMPE, Ariz., US. [26 April, 2012] – Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today announced that its rugged 3U CompactPCI processing blade is now verified by Cisco for secure unified communications solutions in federal and defense applications.

The Democrats have made a political decision to use the Senate confirmation hearings on President Bush's Cabinet appointments to re-fight the 2004 election campaign. First we had the bizarre spectacle of Alberto Gonzales being raked over the coals for Abu Graibh, with which he had nothing whatsoever to do, but which was a Democrat talking-point throughout 2004. Next we witnessed two days of "hearings" on the confirmation of Dr. Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, highlighted by the incoherent ramblings of the notoriously stupid Barbara Boxer. Senate Democrats apparently think they score a political coup when voters see them pontificating endlessly and self-righteously, while the nominee waits patiently for a chance to get a word in edge-wise. I doubt that this is correct; the more voters who witness these ridiculous proceedings the better, I believe.
The hearings on Dr. Rice's confirmation centered mainly on the fact that Iraq didn't have "large stockpiles" of unconventional weapons after all. Gosh, there's a news flash. Unfortunately for the Dems, most Americans have figured out that 1) every intelligence agency in the world believed that Iraq had WMDs; 2) an American President who failed to act in the face of this consensus would have been irresponsible; and 3) Saddam had possessed and used WMDs in the past, and was making every effort to reconstitute those programs at the time he was deposed, so the absence of "large stockpiles" at that particular moment is not very relevant.
In any event, that battle was fought last November.
Beyond the WMD issue, the main focus of the Democrats' speeches–they rarely got around to asking a question–was their insistence that Rice admit that the adminstration had made "mistakes" in Iraq. What mistakes? Makes no difference; any mistakes will do. Rice obligingly agreed that the administration had no doubt made mistakes. But somehow, that failed to satisfy the Dems, who were looking, I guess, for a lot more detail and some wailing and gnashing of teeth. But if they had any particular "mistake" in mind, they never said what it was.
But the Democrats' real problem isn't their incoherence. It's the fact that President Bush has four years to complete the Iraq operation. There was one, and only one, opportunity for the Democrats to capitalize on the administration's alleged failures there, and that opportunity is now gone. My guess is that four years from now, our troops will have been withdrawn, Iraq will be a functioning democracy, various benefits of Iraq's transformation will be visible throughout the Persian Gulf region, and most people will regard the Iraq war as a reasonably successful and probably necessary part of our long-term effort to stamp out Islamic terrorism.
Moreover, even if I'm wrong and the situation in Iraq goes off the rails, no Republican will ever again have to run on the Bush administration's record in Iraq. No amount of Democratic yapping about Abu Ghraib and the virtues of Saddam's peaceful, armament-free regime will mean much by 2008. Which leaves me completely puzzled as to why the Democrats have decided to delay Dr. Rice's confirmation until after the inaugural. They say they want to have a few hours of debate on her appointment, with Sen. Robert Byrd leading the opposition:
Underscoring the Democrats' dissatisfaction, Senator Robert Byrd, an outspoken critic of the decision to go to war, announced late in the day that he would not allow the Senate to approve Ms. Rice without a few days of consideration of her lengthy testimony, and at least a token debate on the floor. His refusal to join in the unanimous consent of all Senators for a quick vote effectively torpedoed the administration's hopes to have her nomination approved Thursday.
"Senator Byrd and others believe that the Senate's advice-and-consent Constitutional responsibilities are not a rubber stamp," Mr. Byrd's spokesman said.
Yes, that's just what the Democrats want: for the American public to see the old Ku Klux Klansman, who hasn't articulated an intelligent thought in several decades, orating pompously on Condoleezza Rice's lack of qualifications to be Secretary of State. Americans will have a really, really hard time figuring out whose side to be on in that one.
The transcript of the second day of hearings on Dr. Rice's nomination is here.

Bay Area High School student is rewarded a 10 day trip to France !
On Thursday, July 1st 2010, a Califronian High School student from the Bay Area was met by Mr. Denis Bisson, Mr. Ivan Bertoux and Ms. Sophie Suberville of the Consulate General of France in San Francisco to be recognized for her achievement in winning the, « Allons en France !»
This award consists of a 10 day, all expense paid trip to France by the Cultural Services of the French Consulate in San Francisco and the French American Cultural Society.

Jill and her family expressed how grateful they were to have won this incredible opportuniy that will allow Jill to have the necessary understanding of the French language and culture so that she can one day fulfill her dreams for working with the French organization, « Doctors without Borders ».
« Allons en France » is a program orchestrated by the European Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which helps foster developement of French exchange abraod.
First created in 1998 during the World Cup, this program was meant to recognize and award the strongest francophone High School students for their academic achievements by sending them to France.

Dan's Kosher Dill PicklesPosted by: | Comments
On Mother's Day, my dear hubby took me to a local farmer's market. One of my very favorite places! While we were there we came across some beautiful pickling cucumbers. We couldn't resist! We filled our bag and headed home to make some dill pickles.
The recipe is from an old friend of ours. It's a super easy recipe and a great one to get the kids involved in. The girls at 8 and 10, practically did the whole thing with only a few tips from Dad. (A word of caution. This is a potent dill pickle recipe!)
|Pickling Cucumbers, thoroughly washed and scrubbed
|1/3 cup
|Kosher Salt
|½ – 1 Bulb
|Fresh Garlic, cloves removed and peeled
|3 tbls
|Dill Seed
|1 – 1 ½ tsp
|Black Peppercorns
|2 tbls
|Fennel Seed
|1 tbls
|Caraway Seed
|1 – 1 ½ tsp
|Whole Cloves
|White Vinegar
In a 2-gallon glass jar, add the cucumbers all the way up to the top. Pour in remaining salt and spices.
Fill the jar ½ – 2/3 full with white vinegar; finish filling with water. The amount of vinegar you use is up to you. If you want a super strong pickle, leave out the water and use only vinegar. If a slightly more mild flavor suits you, then use the ½ to 2/3 rule.
Seal lid making sure there are no leaks. Shake to distribute ingredients.
Refrigerate for 3-6 weeks, giving the jar a good shake every 2-3 days, until they are as potent as you like.

"At the moment a lot of dudes have their dicks in a twist over the new female-led Ghostbusters movie. Well, let's all go on opening weekend, smash box office records, prove a fucking point, and that's how we're going to start our revolution."
The above quote is what I say at the end of every performance of my comedy show Feminasty, to encourage the audience to support better female representation in media and influence Hollywood with our dollar bills. SO LET'S DO IT. Let's bust ghosts, box office records, and patriarchy in the most fun way possible.
Organise a group of your pals to go see the new Ghostbusters film in its opening week from 11th - 16th July (box office is counted on Sunday mornings). I'll be going with my squad in London on Friday the 15th. I've even made a handy Facebook event so you can get involved and invite your friends, wherever in the world you are.
But WHY?
From the time the Ghostbusters reboot was announced, long before we even had a trailer to argue over, the film received disproportionate criticism that was heavily misogynistic. So this is partly to show the haters that you give zero fucks and that you ain't afraid of no trolls.
Here's one response I got the other day immediately after I tweeted about the idea. This man doesn't follow me, he was just looking for banter. It says something that this is one of the more intelligent (and non-violent - what a bae!) sexist messages sent by men regarding this film. That said, the scenario he proposes actually does sound pretty awesome to me, so maybe he's not trolling and just suggesting a fun date idea?
The Bigger Picture:
Representation in media is incredibly important when it comes to gender equality and how we view our fellow humans. However, less than 20% of films released this year will be directed by, written by or star a woman in the principal role. One of the easiest ways that we as consumers can influence media makers is with our money, and supporting female-led films like this on opening weekend - specifically opening night when the money is counted - is a really fun way to support better media.
If you want to find out more about why representation matters, watch the documentary Miss Representation (available on various streaming services) and follow The Representation Project and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
I haven't seen this movie yet, and I'm not saying it's perfect, or feminist, or even funny. (It does look pretty funny, though.) The point is, even without knowing if it's any good, throwing support behind it will still send a message to the entertainment industry that there is a demand for more boss kweens on screens, and that's what matters right now.
Ghostbusters opens on 11 July. Tickets are already on sale.

Lindee and Todd's wedding, is one of those weddings that make you believe in true love. That through thick and thin, love always wins. I cried a lot of this wedding, and even though I'm a sensitive person who LOVES weddings and I sort of tear up at every wedding I shoot, I for real cried at this one. Lindee and Todd are so sweet and funny together, but their children were so obviously in love with their parents and genuinely happy to be bringing their families back together. Goldfinch Events knocked it out of the park, perfectly blending Todd's California Cool vibe, with Lindee's Montana Ranch vibe.

From Alan Smith Associates Ltd, Windsor, Berks.
So many people seem to be willing to complain these days and yet so few seem willing to take the time to send a letter of commendation for a job done well. My company needed a refreshed, modern web design to replace the 10 year old site we currently held. We looked at a number of potential suppliers. You impressed us not only with your track record and your insightful understanding of what we were seeking to achieve but also with your enthusiasm. The result is everything we wanted, and it was completed quickly with the minimum of fuss and within our budget.
Tony Thornell, Commercial Director: www.alansmithassociates.com
From Imperial Care Homes Ltd, Norfolk
Great service from start to finish and superb communication and customer service throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Caston Web designs for your business.
- Stephen Smith, Managing Director, Imperial Care Homes Ltd. www.imperialcarehomes.co.uk
From Kings Lynn Festival Chorus, Kings Lynn, Norfolk
I just wanted to say how professional, reassuring and patient you were during all of the evolutionary stages that we discussed whilst developing this modern and exciting new website. Knowing we had a complex site we needed someone local so a Website Designer in Norfolk was essential. This enabled us to meet on a number of occasions which we required.
Your tender price was competitive and, despite the process becoming more involved than was first anticipated, you never once lost your sense of humour or enthusiasm for the project. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody wishing to develop a website. In particular we loved your web design. Thank you.
- Dr Oliver Hendrie, Chairman, www.kingslynnfestivalchorus.co.uk
From QR Engineering Ltd, Attleborough, Norfolk

I was very pleased with not only the personal and efficient customer service offered by Brian at Caston Web Design, but also the build quality of my new website which reflects my business perfectly.
Thank you Brian, very much indeed. This new website is so much of an improvement of the site I had before.
Stuart Byrne
From Norwich Art Supplies Ltd, Norwich, Norfolk
Dear Brian
We were looking for local Norfolk Web Designers when you were recommended to us. We had purchased this well established business some while ago but it did not have a website. We had already contacted a few suppliers but had been put off by high costs and language we did not understand.
When you came along, somehow the clouds of confusion cleared and we were happy to ask you to go ahead. Within ten days the new site was up and running. You provided a fantastic service and we are delighted with the result - thank you so much.
- Jane Welter, Norwich Art Supplies Ltd, www.norwichartsupplies.co.uk
From Clayland Architects, Mundford, Norfolk
As Architects we have very fixed ideas on design and how we want to promote our company and the service we provide. We felt that the first impression a website gave to prospective clients was of paramount importance, then the way in which the site could be navigated had to be clear and to the point. It took a lot of time and discussion between ourselves before we were ready to select a firm of Norfolk Web Designers to interpret our very specific requirements.
Brian at Caston Web Designs has offered his expertise and professional advice throughout the process and has created a website we are very proud of. We would not hesitate to recommend his services.
- Elaine Stubbings, Marketing Manager, www.claylandarchitects.co.uk
From Saham Studio, Saham Toney, Norfolk
Brian, thank you for the excellent service that Caston Web Designs have provided during the initial concept and development of the Saham Studio website which recently went live. Your expertise, guidance and support across all areas of the site have been impeccable.
Additionally the on-going work you are undertaking around site optimisation and search engine analysis will be a major factor in our website's success and ultimately the success of our business.
I can confidently recommend Caston Web Designs as being solid and reliable Nortfolk Web designers, and experts in their field.
- Rob Darts, Partner, www.sahamstudio.co.uk
From Mayawellbeing, Diss, Norfolk.
Brian was so supportive throughout building my website, listening carefully to my ideas and he helped me to build on them, providing his experience and knowledge to support me. The contact and support was excellent throughout the whole process and continues to be as I add to the website as my business grows.
Brian always answered my emails quickly which was fantastic! I highly recommend his services!
