Beijing Coma
Beijing Coma
by Ma Jian (translated by Flora Drew)
Random House, HK$275
In the middle of a deep sleep wakefulness can come suddenly. Maybe the wind took a dustbin and rattled it against a wall. Or a lover's arm was outstretched, tipping the balance within an unsettling dream.
At such moments our bodies seem null and void. Our minds float in a vivid half-world of consciousness like the retinal image of a lightning flash. These instances of heightened consciousness usually last for just a few seconds but for Dai Wei, the central character in Ma Jian's extraordinary new novel Beijing Coma (in an acclaimed translation by Flora Drew), they are his life for almost a decade.
Not that Dai Wei is truly the central character of this book. At the very least he shares centre stage with his coma, caused by a bullet to the head as he protested in Tiananmen Square in 1989. It is this condition that generates a narrative that is disturbing, revolting, gripping and, at the end, emotionally exhausting.
After Dai Wei is shot he is assumed to be in a vegetative state. To outsiders he does nothing but snore and expel bodily fluids. Inside it's a different story. He can hear everything and his mind becomes increasingly agile at interpreting each sound while his condition leaves him looking like a fresh corpse. Thus he lies in a narrow bed, in his mother's derelict apartment, reconstructing his life and reinterpreting the events of the previous three decades through the noises that burrow into his ears like mythical dragons, breathing fire and dreams. His fetid stream of consciousness is rarely interrupted by sleep: the longest he is out in the course of 10 years is when his mother has one of his kidneys removed so she can raise funds for his daily regimen of drugs.
After Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote The Gulag Archipelago it was easy to suppose he had cornered the market in appalling prison images. The Nobel prize-winner's portrait of a Siberian labour camp contained hellish scenes that seemed hard to surpass. Ma's evocations do so with ease as he presents his account of Dai Wei's violinist father's incarceration in a prison camp
for being a rightist, a label earned during the Cultural Revolution because he once played in a performance conducted by an American.
The prison camp is pure sulphur, a place where men eat undigested vegetables rescued from the excrement of more privileged inmates, a woman is raped and her breasts and liver become the sweetmeats at a drunken barbecue and sons are forced to bury their own fathers alive. These detailed descriptions of inhumanity have the vivid quality of a Hieronymus Bosch painting and throughout the book there is the sound of men and women screaming as their flesh is stripped away. As with Bosch, Ma's work conveys a vertiginous sense of standing at the edge of an abyss at the bottom of which human dignity is obliterated.
Ma is now an exile in London but, like Solzhenitsyn, he lived the events depicted in his novel. Born in Qingdao in 1953 he lived in Beijing until 1987, when he moved to Hong Kong. In 1989 he returned to Tiananmen Square to show his solidarity with the pro-democracy activists. He says he wrote Beijing Coma because open discussion of Tiananmen events is forbidden on the mainland and he wanted to 'bear witness to recent history and reclaim the people's right to remember'. To a degree that makes this book a political project but it is as literature that the novel triumphs.
As with Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis Ma Jian uses the device of imprisoning somebody in an immobile body to set free their imagination and create a world of existential drama. Although Kafka's Gregor Samsa becomes a cockroach Dai Wei's condition is no less objectionable, for he is regarded as vermin by all except his mother, who is driven insane by the daily demands of his care.
The main purpose of this device is to drive home the point that while ordinary Chinese are ordered to forget the events of 1989, Dai Wei's memory of them - and the events that preceded them, such as the Cultural Revolution - becomes more intense. He even draws Hong Kong into the picture, for it is a Hong Kong speculator who buys the building where his mother has her apartment and orders it torn down around his ears to be replaced by a luxury hotel.
This is not to say that Beijing Coma is all about brutality. What makes this book transcend the banal confines of agitprop is the way Ma writes about what he calls 'the things that make life worth living: love, hope, freedom, truth and the quest for the sublime'.
To write a novel about love and freedom from the standpoint of a comatose man stretched out on a filthy mattress is an astonishing achievement.

The Tomorrow People returns to TV
The 1970s sci-fi hit The Tomorrow People is to return to UK TV after a revamp of the show was snapped up by Channel 4.
The US-made series is based on the popular children's show which ran for several series on ITV featuring a group of young people with special powers. It is to be screened by E4 next year.
The Tomorrow People was first screened in 1973 and continued to 1979, and was sometimes seen as the commercial network's answer to Doctor Who.
The stories revolved around a group of characters who had reached another stage of human evolution and had developed powers of telepathy and teleportation, with a cast which involved teen pop star Mike Holoway. The show was revived two decades ago for a further 25 episodes.
The new series is being overseen by TV executives who has been behind shows such as Dawson's Creek and The Vampire Diaries and sees the outcast group hunted by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra who see them as a threat.
The show is one of a trio of new programmes which have been bought from Warner Bros International Television. Channel 4 will also screen Hostages - a thriller starring Toni Colette as a surgeon who must murder the US President or her family will be killed - and E4 will broadcast The 100, a post apocalyptic space drama.
Channel 4 chief creative officer Jay Hunt said: "Channel 4 has had real success with Warner Bros shows such as The Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls so I'm thrilled to be bringing more of the best acquisitions to the Channel 4 network."

Maybe children need real FOOD instead of psychiatric DRUGS?
We have over 3000 FDA approved food additives in the American food supply. Vast majority of process foods contain 7 artificial colorants which are hostile to any living cell because of their chemical nature. In the fiscal year of 2012 23,178,881.35 pounds of artificial food colors were certified by the FDA, that is 23,178,881.35/314,000,000 ~ 0.074 (33 g) pounds per capita. This is 48% up from 15,722,200.33 pounds certified a decade before in the fiscal year of 2002. According to an estimation by Feingold Association, (watch brief video Food Dyes and Behavior: A Different View) an American child may consume up to 245 mg of combined artificial colorants a day so that annual consumption may perhaps be as high as 40 – 60 g. Note that based on 60 mg Reference Daily Intake for Vitamin C, recommended annual amount of Vitamin C is only 22 g per adult person. Why do we allow that much of potentially harmful chemicals into the blood of our children? Is there any correlation between growing numbers of autism, asthma, ADHD and unexplained school shootings and increasing amounts of strange chemicals that American children consume?
Developmental Disabilities, Including Autism and ADHD, Are on the Rise
Below is a quotation from an article published in May 2011.
"One in six American children now has a developmental disability — a 17% increase over the past decade, driven largely by increases in autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to government researchers. The new study, published in Pediatrics, found that 15% of U.S. children aged 3 to 17 were diagnosed with a developmental disability in 2006-08 — about 10 million children in all. In 1997-99, that rate was 12.8%, or 8 million children.
While researchers saw increases in a wide range of developmental problems, including stuttering and learning disabilities, the most significant increases were seen with autism and ADHD. Autism rates nearly quadrupled over the study period, from 0.19% of children in 1997-99 to 0.74% in 2006-08. But, overall, ADHD accounted for the greatest number of developmental disability cases; rates rose by 33%, from 5.7% of children in 1997-99 to 7.6% by 2008. The reasons for the increases are not clear, but the researchers suggest they may be due in part to increases in preterm birth and the older age of parents."
The latest report is even more disturbing: Along with skyrocketing growth of ADHD occurrence the number of children on psychiatric medications has reached 4 million! Keep reading.
Understanding the Rise in ADHD Diagnoses: 11% of U.S. Children Are Affected
"The rates of U.S. children affected by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are skyrocketing, according to a recent report, but experts caution that the latest numbers require a bit of decoding.
That information shows that 11% of children ages 4 to 17 were diagnosed with ADHD, a 16% increase since 2007, the last time that researchers at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did a comprehensive survey for the prevalence of the neurobehavior disorder. The rise was especially dramatic among boys, with an estimated 1 in 5 boys in high school diagnosed with ADHD. What's more, about two-thirds of the children diagnosed were treated with stimulant medications that can improve attention but also come with side effects."
ADHD Diagnoses Increased More Than 50 Percent in a Decade
"In 2011, eleven percent of school-age children had been diagnosed with ADHD That's a sixteen percent more than in 2007 and 53 percent more than a decade ago, according to a New York Times analysis of new data from the Center for Disease Control. This comes out to a grand total 6.4 million children in the US, up to 4 million of whom have prescriptions for Adderall, Ritalin, or other medication, a class of drugs that brings in an estimated $9 billion in sales annually. …Clearly, more and more kids are being diagnosed with ADHD. What the new study doesn't tell us is whether more and more kids actually have it. Another recent CDC study, that both surveyed parents and screened children, suggested doctors are over-diagnosing ADHD in some kids while overlooking the condition in others. The survey, which focused on South Carolina and Oklahoma, found that of children taking ADHD medication, only 40 percent in South Carolina and 28 percent in Oklahoma actually met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD."
Before the drugging of our children, maybe we should first try feeding them with healthy food?
The Drugging Of Our Children (video)
There are NO independent diagnostic tests for ADHD (like blood test or biological test), there is no proof in biological basis and there is huge risk of overmedication of children with the drugs that have very serious adverse effects. So, why school teachers make decisions about our child's health and medications with psychiatric drugs that may cause permanent changes to their brains, hallucinations, suicidal behavior and aggression outbursts? It seems, only brain MRI is possibly capable to help diagnosing actual ADD and ADHD in children. So far the definition of ADHD sounds like the Supreme Court definition of pornography which is: "You know it when you see it."
What Else You Should Know About ADHD Medication
Children who are inappropriately diagnosed with ADHD, or those who have other mental health conditions, may be at increased risk for mood disorders or aggressive behavior while on the medication, said Dr. Michael Duchowny, a pediatric neurologist at Miami Children's Hospital. …Because conditions such as heart attacks and strokes are rare in children, it's hard to know whether stimulants actually increase the risk of these events, said Dr. William Graf, a professor of pediatrics and neurology at Yale School of Medicine. And more research is needed to determine whether taking the medications for a "mental boost" could affect the developing brain, said Dr. Graf.
NOTE: Ritalin is regulated by the FDA same way as cocaine (Schedule II drugs, see Methylphenidate on page 8 of Alphabetical Order) was reported to cause cardiac arrests and deaths in children.
School shootings: How Can American Food Lead to American Blood
Can there be a chain link between deteriorating qualities of American food, autism, ADHD, uncontrolled psychiatric drug prescriptions and school shootings?
Chemically saturated food – ADHD, autism, etc. – Ritalin and other psychoactive drugs – depression, suicides, school shootings
Every mass shooting over last 20 years has one thing in common… and it's not guns
Here's the full article by Dan Roberts via NaturalNews.com:
(Ammoland.com) Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and it's not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more then a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior. One need only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.com is one popular site that has documented over 4500 " Mainstream Media " reported cases from around the World of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs.
The following list of mass shooting perpetrators and the drugs they were taking or had been taking shortly before their horrific actions was compiled and published to Facebook by John Noveske, founder and owner of Noveske Rifleworks just days before he was mysteriously killed in a single car accident. Is there a link between Noveske's death and his "outting" of information numerous disparate parties would prefer to suppress, for a variety of reasons?
I leave that to the individual readers to decide. But there is most certainly a documented history of people who "knew too much" or were considered a "threat" dying under extraordinarily suspicious circumstances.
From Katherine Smith, a Tennessee DMV worker who was somehow involved with several 9/11 hijackers obtaining Tennessee Drivers Licenses, and was later found burned to death in her car, to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb, who exposed a CIA Operation in the 80's that resulted in the flooding of LA Streets with crack cocaine and was later found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, but was officially ruled as a "suicide", to Frank Olson, a senior research micro biologist who was working on the CIA's mind control research program MKULTRA.
After Olson expressed his desire to leave the program, he was with a CIA agent in a New York hotel room, and is alleged to have committed "suicide" by throwing himself off the tenth floor balcony. In 1994, Olson's sons were successful in their efforts to have their fathers body exhumed and re-examined in a second autopsy by James Starrs, Professor of Law and Forensic science at the National Law Center at George Washington University. Starr's team concluded that the blunt force trauma to the head and injury to the chest had not occurred during the fall but most likely in the room before the fall. The evidence was called "rankly and starkly suggestive of homicide." Based on his findings, in 1996 the Manhattan District Attorney opened a homicide investigation into Olson's death, but was unable to find enough evidence to bring charges.
As I said, I leave it to the individual readers to make up their own minds if Noveske suffered a similar fate. On to the list of mass shooters and the stark link to psychotropic drugs.
• Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold's medical records have never been made available to the public.

Those focusing on further firearms bans or magazine restrictions are clearly focusing on the wrong issue and asking the wrong questions, either as a deliberate attempt to hide these links, or out of complete and utter ignorance.
Don't let them! Force our elected "representatives" and the media to cast a harsh spotlight on this issue. Don't stop hounding them until they do.

Brigitte Bardot and rocker Sir Paul McCartney are among a host of celebrities helping a Scottish-based charity by donating crayon drawings for auction.
The pair, McCartney's wife Heather Mills and Scottish James Bond actor Robbie Coltrane all contributed sketches for the SPIRIT AID charity - which raises money for children in Afghanistan.
The etchings will appear on the online auction site eBAY, six of which will have a reserved price of $180 (GBP100) and the rest $54 (GBP30) - but the charity are hoping to raise more cash.
A spokesperson for the charity says, "Given the names involved, I hope we can substantially beat the GBP1,000 mark."
Spirit Aid, set up by the Scottish actor David Hayman, aims to raise awareness of suffering in Afghanistan "caused by military intervention both before and after September 11 (01)".02/04/2004 19:31
This is the movie that made Brigitte Bardot famous -- especially since she appeared nude...

On June 18, Dallas voters will make the important decision of who will serve as mayor. This vote will not just decide who serves, it also will determine the path our city takes moving forward. The differences between the candidates are clear: Do we find our best solutions for the challenges we face in government, or in business? Do we sit tight, cut our budgets and services and hope for our city to grow organically, or do we work proactively and tackle the big issues like economic growth and improving our schools?
For the past few years, we've fallen into a dangerous cycle. Tax revenues are down, so we've slashed budgets, furloughed employees and raised taxes on homeowners just to maintain the most basic level of necessary services. But the truth is, as a city we can never cut our way to success. The only real, long-term solution to protecting taxpayers and improving city services is making the economic pie bigger by attracting new business, encouraging development and creating new jobs and growth.
If you agree that growth is the answer to our city's financial problems, then the real question is: Who will be the best mayor for business?
I believe that to become the best city in America for business, Dallas needs a mayor who's from business. As mayor, I will put more than three decades of experience as a CEO and investor and adviser to small and medium-sized businesses, to work for taxpayers and citizens. Here is just the beginning of what I will do as mayor to better manage our budget cycle, spur growth and expand our commercial tax base:
•Recommend a two-year budget forecast that allows us more time to find effective solutions when we see big budget gaps.
•Work department by department to cut waste and streamline systems to make sure taxpayers get a greater return for each dollar, while protecting police funding.
•Make City Hall more user-friendly for small business and developers by reducing development and permit fees, cutting red tape and requiring quicker decisions and approvals from city departments.
•Work at a CEO-to-CEO level to attract new business and spend one day per week reaching out to Fortune 500 CEOs and selling them on doing business in Dallas.
•Implement a comprehensive plan led by stakeholders to boost economic growth in the Southern Sector by 30 percent over the next five years, building upon key successes like Bishop Arts, the Lancaster-Kiest transportation corridor and the University of North Texas at Dallas.
Being mayor also means having the courage to take on big challenges that are crippling our city, even if it means stepping on toes or reaching beyond the traditional boundaries of the mayor's office. For Dallas, the elephant in the room that not enough of our leaders are acknowledging is the state of our public schools.
Fact is, we cannot be a great city without great public schools, and stronger schools will build stronger neighborhoods. That's why within my first 90 days as mayor, I will bring together Dallas ISD, the education nonprofits, the Dallas Regional Chamber and city leaders to create a strategic agreement defining how we will work together to improve our schools. With the departure of our superintendent, we have the opportunity to reshape how our city helps DISD succeed and to put our children and our city on the right track.
I have no doubt that there will be those who say "it's not the mayor's job to help our schools." Well, I just don't agree with that way of thinking. I think it's the mayor's responsibility to do what he can to improve the quality of life for our families and to get our city on the right track for the future. And there is no other issue that will impact both of those goals more than public education.
In business and in my volunteer service, I have always been known as an action-oriented leader, which is why I was tapped by Mayors Laura Miller and Tom Leppert to lead the fight to end chronic homelessness in Dallas, and why Leppert asked me to serve as president of the Park Board during one of the toughest budget cycles in recent history. On both of these tough issues, we were able to think proactively and creatively to create the key public-private partnerships needed for success. This is the same approach I'll bring to Dallas City Hall.
I'm proud to have the support of great business and civic leaders like Roger Staubach, Ron Kirk, Ebby Halliday and T. Boone Pickens; state Sens. John Carona and Royce West; and the support of 11 members of the Dallas City Council — all leaders who understand the magnitude of our challenges. It will take the collective ideas, passion and hard work of leaders from all parts of our city to make real change, but I know that by working together we can make it happen. If we work hard to create growth and opportunity, I know our city's best days are still ahead.
If you agree that growth is the answer, then I would be honored to have your vote on June 18.

Nicholson rescues Gulls point
Kevin Nicholson's 30-yard drive in the 71st minute rescued a point for Torquay in their 2-2 draw with Cheltenham.
Last Updated: 14/09/11 12:12am
Kevin Nicholson's 30-yard drive in the 71st minute rescued a point for Torquay in their 2-2 draw with Cheltenham.
It was the defender's first Gulls goal of the season but well worth the wait. Cheltenham had been given a flying start when Joshua Low swept between Nicholson and keeper Bobby Olejnik to cleverly clip the ball over the United number one and in on four minutes.
Two minutes later United levelled through on-loan Swindon striker Billy Bodin, whose incisive run from the right wing finished with a thumping left-foot shot from 20 yards that beat diving Town keeper Jack Butland, on loan from Birmingham City.
Bristol-born Butland, 18, made a brilliant save to keep out Bodin's rising drive in the 14th minute but it was Town who took the lead in first half stoppage time.
Jeff Goulding teed up winger Kaid Mohamed, who converted from eight yards. Butland made the save of the match in the 58th minute when he went full stretch to his right to palm away Eunan O'Kane's angled strike as the Irish midfielder broke through the Robins defensive line.
However, there was little the highly-rated young keeper could do to keep out Nicholson's thunderbolt.

Tennis both provides a means of getting fit and having pleasure with friends. This non-contact game can be played by anyone. It also develops coordination of the eye and the hands. With no-specific age group playing the sport, tennis is a game for all ages. Moreover, it offers a great chance for people to meet new friends.
Singles and Doubles
Singles is a format of playing tennis with two players competing against each other. Doubles, on the other hand, comprise of two pairs of two players playing against each other. Doubles requires strategies and teamwork. Singles require a smaller area of the court to play compared with doubles.
Checklist for Tennis Equipment
Players do not need to have brand new or top of the line items. However, it would be nice if one has top gears especially for those who want to take playing tennis seriously.
A beginner's tennis racquet is an essential in playing tennis. It is recommended that a wide-head racquet is purchased. Racquet with a wider head increases the probability of not missing the ball. Once a beginner has improved his skills, a narrower head can enhance power and accuracy.
Tennis Balls
There are varied selections of tennis balls to choose from. The concern with this equipment is to make sure that it is not a dead ball. A dead ball can be identified by holding the ball up as high as the head. If the ball does not reach the waistline, then the ball is dead. A dead ball will not work well with a beginner's tennis racquet or any other kind of racquet.
Tennis shoes
Tennis players do lots of quick running and sudden stopping. Tennis players should opt for comfort when choosing tennis shoes. These should be flatter and sturdy. These must also have a no-marking sole.
Comfy clothing
As this is a kind of sports, tennis players need to wear a T-shirt and a pair of athletic shorts or a tennis skirt.
Water bottle
This will keep players hydrated.
Tips for Holding the Beginner's Tennis Racquet
Newbie tennis players naturally find the grip that comes with their beginner's tennis racquet. However, the Eastern Grip is recommended by tennis pros to begin the official tennis career.
The non-dominant hand is used to hold the racquet in front of the player. The racquet face is turned perpendicular to the ground. The palm of the dominant hand is placed on the racquet face. Palm is moved towards the body, then down the neck of the racquet, and finally stopped when one touches the end of the handle. Fingers are wrapped around the handle. The crease of the hand between thumb and the forefinger creates a V that directs towards the dominant shoulder.
Basic Strokes
A forehand occurs when the ball is hit on the dominant side. The feet are turned, hips and shoulders pivot toward the dominant side. The racquet is pulled back and swung forward from low to high to follow through over the opposite shoulder.
A backhand occurs when the ball is hit at the non-dominant side. Feet, hips, and shoulders pivot toward non-dominant side. The racquet is pulled back with one or two hands on the racquet. The racquet is swung forward from low to high following through the opposite shoulder.
A volley is a shot quickly done before the ball bounces on the ground. It is a short shot mostly hit from the net, but can be hit from any portion on the court.
Feet should be maintained one shoulder width apart. Distance from the net must be around three feet. Ball is hit before hitting the ground.
Tennis games start with a serve. The overhead tennis shot is more common than an underhand serve.
Ball is tossed lightly into the air. The racquet is extended overhead. The ball it hit when it reaches the highest point. A player must be careful of the placement of the feet. The feet must be behind the baseline.
Learning the basics of tennis can be a challenge to some, but definitely enjoyable. It requires patience and hard work to become a tennis pro. All pros started as beginners. Thus, equipment such as beginner's tennis racquet is a must for playing tennis.

The NHL's pre-draft scouting combine will be held in Buffalo the next two seasons.
NHL vice-president Colin Campbell on Monday called Buffalo a "natural fit" in announcing the league's decision at a news conference with the Sabres.
The combine had been held outside Toronto, inside a convention centre that provided no on-ice testing and little room for fans.
The Pittsburgh Penguins also were finalists to host the combine, but Campbell said Buffalo was "heads and toes above everyone else."
Scouts, general managers and coaches from all 30 teams attend the NHL scouting combine to gain information on more than 100 prospects.
"We want every NHL player to have trained and played in western New York," Sabres president Ted Black said.
Two years ago, the Sabres began building a hockey/entertainment complex. The $172 million US HarborCenter, funded by Sabres owner Terry Pegula, is to open this fall. It will feature two rinks and a full-service hotel connected by a walkway to the team's downtown arena.
Campbell said the NHL does not plan to introduce on-ice testing or open the combine to the public in 2015. The league, however, will look into those options now that there is more space at HarborCenter. He added that Buffalo has a "good chance" of hosting the combine beyond 2016.
HarbourCenter will host the under-18 women's and sledge hockey world championships in 2015, as well as USA Hockey's annual All-American Prospects game.

Concern urging people to kick their bad habits for 24 hours this Thursday
Giving up coffee, Facebook and even your smart phone are some of the suggestions.
Concern is calling on people to give up a bad habit for 24 hours this Thursday to raise vital funds for children dying from hunger.
In previous years, the Concern Fast focused on giving up food, but now they are urging people to ditch social media, coffee and TV, amongst other things.
They are also asking people to try avoid vocalised pauses when they talk, such as "um", "ah" and "like".
All funds raised will help children suffering in countries like Ethiopia, Syria and South Sudan.
They will be provided with high-energy therapeutic food for malnourished children and will also give families the long-term support needed to feed their children in years to come.
Director of Public Affairs, Richard Dixon is giving up his iPad for the day, but it is all for a good cause he says.
"I have seen first-hand the incredible positive impact that our work has had on children and their families and we would not be able to do this without the generous donations received during campaigns like Fast.
"It is unacceptable that about three million children die every year from under-nutrition, which is an average of around 8,220 children a day or a child dying every 10.5 seconds."
The aid agency helped 22.6 million people in 28 countries in 2015 and responded to 42 emergencies thanks to funds received.
You can sign up for Concern Fast and find more information at www.concern.net/fast or by calling 1850 50 50 55 – and participants can also engage with Concern on Twitter @Concern, Facebook, Snapchat and on Instagram.

Well I struggled this week to stay on track. I didn't track – that is the problem. We had a lot of stress and happiness going on this week and food really pulls at me during trying times.
I lost a friend and co-worker on Friday after a long battle of cancer. This news rocked our agency to the core. He has a wife and 3 young children, he was in the same hospital as Jeremy and was there when Jeremy was. This just brings a ton of emotions to me – good and sad emotions. I know how blessed I am that my husband, best friend and babies daddy is recovering at home and doing well.
With all of this going on I just forget about making healthy choices. On top of this it was my brother's birthday which means eating out and donut towers!
Okay, enough making excuses. I am back on track this morning and ready to lose.
I hope you link up and share what your WW week was full of.

Who were Sarah (Gorgas) Kimmel's parents?
Singleton Husband Kimmel (b. 1797, PA; d. 1868, MO), a son of Peter Kimmel and Phoebe (Husband) Kimmel, married twice.
His first wife was Caroline Manning.They married in Perry County, Missouri, on 16 February 1830.
Singleton and Caroline Kimmel had two children of whom I know: Julia Margaret Kimmel (b. 1834, MO; d. 1924, MO) and Manning Marius Kimmel (b. 1832, MO; d. 1916, KY).
It appears Caroline (Manning) Kimmel died either giving birth to son Manning or soon thereafter.
After his wife Caroline died, Singleton Kimmel returned to Pennsylvania, where he married Sarah Gorgas in Philadelphia on 3 March 1836.
Singleton Kimmel moved back to Missouri sometime after the birth of son George Gorgas Kimmel in Philadelphia on 30 December 1836, and before the birth of son Edward Allen Kimmel in Missouri (St. Louis?) on 4 February 1844.By 1850, Singleton Kimmel and family were living in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri.

text: Carnival Corp. announced the resignation of Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of its Cunard Line Limited unit. Pamela Conover, COO of Cunard, has been given the additional title of president and will replace Pimentel as head of the luxury cruise operator. Both management changes are effective immediately. Pimentel has served at the helm of Cunard Line, which is comprised of both the Cunard and Seabourn cruise brands, since 1998, when the Miami-based combined entity was formed, following Carnival Corp.'s acquisition of Cunard. Prior to that he spent six years as president and COO of Seabourn Cruise Line, formerly based in San Francisco. Pimentel resigned for personal reasons, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. "It is with great difficulty that I have made the decision to step down from my current post. My years at Seabourn and Cunard have been extremely rewarding. However, from a personal perspective, this is the right decision for me and my family," said Pimentel. Pimentel is reportedly in discussions with Carnival Corp. regarding a consultative role in connection with certain corporate-wide business initiatives. Conover, who has served as COO of Cunard Line Limited since 1998, will replace Pimentel as president, while also retaining her COO title. Prior to 1998, Conover was vice president of strategic planning for Carnival Corporation and played a key role in the acquisition of Cunard by Carnival Corp., as well as Carnival's 1997 acquisition of Costa Cruises.

"Arsenal FA Cup 010" (CC BY 2.0) by David Holt London
It may come as surprise to some that Arsenal, one of the greatest clubs in England, have only won the English League Cup twice. They claimed the trophy in 1987 and 1993, but otherwise have only progressed as far as runners-up in 1968, 1969, 1988, 2007, and 2011. This year they are into the quarter finals, and have a strong chance of going all the way and being the first team to pick up silverware this season.
Arsene Wenger is currently in the last year of his contract at the Emirates and, although it is widely expected that he will be offered a new deal after 2017, it would help his cause if he were to deliver some trophies in this campaign. The number one priority is of course the Premier League, and then the Champions League with the EFL Cup as more of an afterthought. But Arsenal do have the squad depth to be battling across all fronts.
The Gunners are up against Southampton in the quarter finals on Wednesday November 30 at the Emirates, in what is likely to be an absolute thriller between these Premier League sides. Get your tickets from TicketGum for as little as £64 and watch as the North London side battle to make it through to the semi-finals.
Elsewhere in the quarter finals Liverpool entertain Leeds United, West Ham travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United, and Hull play host to Championship high-flyers Newcastle. Liverpool have won the League Cup eight times, which is more than any other team, and they were runners-up last season when they lost Manchester City in the final. Jürgen Klopp will be hungry for his first trophy as Liverpool manager and is likely to field a strong squad against Leeds so as not to risk a huge upset.
Jose Mourinho has had a rocky start to his tenure as manager of the Red Devils, but a push for the cup could help to ease some of the pressure on the former Chelsea boss. And Rafa Benitez's formidable Newcastle side have a good chance of seeing off struggling Hull who have an insufficient amount of players at their disposal.
Wenger has so far used the EFL Cup as an opportunity to give playing time to some squad players and others returning from injury. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been relishing the opportunity to impress, and scored twice (see above) in the round of 16 against Reading. The pacey winger has only managed to break into Arsenal's first team intermittently, but more performances like that will make him hard to ignore. If he doesn't get more action soon he may be tempted to leave the club, with Southampton believed to be interested bringing the 23-year-old back to St Mary's Stadium.
Southampton are likely to field a heavily rotated side against Arsenal as they also look to balance their European and league ambitions. Wenger should aim to seize the opportunity to brush the Saints aside and may turn to Olivier Giroud to spearhead his attack.
When Arsenal and Southampton met in the league last, it was Arsenal who came away with the spoils thanks to a late penalty from Santi Cazorla. The Gunners are well-favoured to do the business again and push forward in their search for a third League Cup win.

Ant wasn't the only one on holiday... As the Torchwood news in the US was basically the same as the UK, I found myself with little new material to report on... until now... Enjoy!
You know, you have to worry about lawyers sometimes... For rights reasons, the commentary track for "Last of the Time Lords" was left off of the US release of the Doctor Who Season boxed set. However, our friends at BBC America have taken are of us Yanks by offering the commentary via download:
"Doctor Who stars David Tennant, Freema Agyeman, and John Barrowman give you an insider's guide to this season's finale in our audio commentary. And you won't find this on any U.S. DVD - you can listen to it EXCLUSIVELY on BBCAMERICA.com.
During the finale on Saturday, April 19th at 7 pm et/pt, log on to BBCAMERICA.com and listen along in real-time as you watch. Be sure to pause during commercials! The audio file is also available for download - for free!"
While surely "Who-centric," the content does talk about Torchwood here and there... Amongst tales of how The Master was tortured with stubble burns, they also explain the technical need to "break" Capt. Jack's time watch amongst other juicy tid-bits.
Where does one get this amazing gem of Whovian lore you ask? Click Right Here and ye shall recieve.

If Ed & Aileen Photography hadn't told us about the chilly temps during Matt and Kathryn's engagement shoot, we wouldn't have believed it. These two look warm and cozy in their Lincoln Park engagement shoot.
From the couple… Matt and I wanted to showcase our simple style in an exciting way. Combining the Chicago skyline and the natural beauty of Lincoln Park as a backdrop for our engagement session allowed us to do just that. Advice: Find a setting that will do the work for you. Picking a beautiful place for your photo shoot will inevitably leave you with beautiful photos. Also, pick photographers that match your personality; communicate with them before booking so that you can get a sense of who they are.
From Ed & Aileen Photography… Kathryn and Matt are ridiculously adorable! These college sweethearts met at Illinois Wesleyan University, and their story began on the soccer field at IWU – the same field that Matt proposed to Kathryn on. Swoon!! They recently moved to Chicago, and wanted to showcase the city where they will start their lives together as a married couple. What a perfect backdrop for their love story! For their engagement session, we met on a chilly Saturday right before sunset at the Lincoln Zoo Nature Boardwalk and explored the area together. We discovered amazing architecture, beautiful skyline views, and a deserted beach. We even found a soccer field!! Kathryn and Matt are such lighthearted and easy going people. Even though the temperature was dropping fast, they were all smiles (and some shivers).

ALTON — A dead body in the woods near East Elementary School was spotted Wednesday by a student playing outside during recess, prompting an investigation by Alton police.
Police were called early Wednesday afternoon. Officers found a deceased white male in the woods behind garages of the Pine Meadow Court Apartments adjacent to the school. Alton firefighters were called to the scene for a subject reported to be unconscious and not breathing. Investigators from the Madison County Coroner's Office were also called.
Police radio traffic indicated officials discovered what appeared to be a self-inflicted death. A release from Det. Emily Hejna of the Alton Police Department said authorities are investigating the incident, but there is no overt evidence of foul play.
Several detectives were on the scene, including Alton Chief of Detectives Lt. David DeWall. Police scanner traffic indicated some of the same detectives on scene had been searching for a man hours earlier. Police could not say if the incidents were related.
The body was discovered during recess for fourth and fifth graders, according to Alton Schools Assistant Superintendent Kristie Baumgartner. After the student reported the finding, all students were immediately removed from the playground, East Elementary principal Lanea DeConcini wrote in a letter sent to parents via email. She alerted parents to the possibility their child heard other students talking about the incident during school hours.
"As a result, our social work team spoke with fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms in a sensitive manner to determine of students had questions or were experiencing any concerns surrounding the incident," DeConcini wrote in the email. "The social work team will also be available tomorrow. Your child may also wish to discuss today's event with you so we want you to be aware of what transpired today… All students were safe at all times and instruction continued as planned."
Hejna said the department was working to identify the body as of Wednesday afternoon.

LOS ANGELES -- PGA champion Shaun Micheel doesn't feel like
a star, not with Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh in the Nissan Open,
and certainly not in star-crazed Los Angeles.
As long as he plays like one, that's fine with him.
Micheel put some putting practice to good use Thursday, holing a
30-foot eagle putt and a couple of other long birdies for a 7-under
64 at Riviera and a share of the first-round lead with Shigeki
''I don't know what it takes to be a star,'' Micheel said. ''I
don't know if I have that quality. I would like to become top 10 in
the world at some point, be a more consistent player.''
Micheel and Maruyama, who played in the same group, had a
one-shot lead over Hank Kuehne, while the group at 66 included
defending champion Mike Weir and former Nissan Open winners Fred Couples and Robert Allenby.
Woods, meantime, continued to struggle at Riviera.
This is the only course on the PGA Tour he has played at least
five times without winning, and Woods put himself in a hole with a
1-over 72, the first time he has been over par in the first round
of a regular PGA Tour event since last year at Riviera.
Woods will start the second round below the cut line, needing a
good score to extend his record streak of 116 consecutive cuts on
the PGA Tour.
''My iron play was the most disappointing,'' Woods said. ''I hit
some really nice drives, but I couldn't hit my irons close enough
to make any birdies.''
Singh, whose streak of 12 top 10s ended last week at Torrey
Pines when he missed the cut, didn't fare much better. Despite
hitting 15 greens, he took 33 putts in a round of even-par 71.
It wasn't just Woods and Singh grabbing all the attention.
The loudest roars of a cool, overcast day belonged to John Daly,
a winner last week for the first time on U.S. soil in 10 years.
Daly was 2 over at the turn, but birdied the next three holes and
the last two of his round for a 68.
His only complaint came at the end, when players have to walk up
a 50-foot hill to the clubhouse to sign their cards.
''I just wish they'd put an escalator from the 18th green to the
clubhouse,'' Daly said. ''I'm too fat to walk up this damn hill.''
Micheel breezed his way around Riviera, and wound up in the lead
for the first time since his 7-iron into 2 inches on the final hole
at Oak Hill gave him a two-shot victory in the PGA Championship.
He was relatively unknown until that first victory, but even a
major championship does not jack the Q-rating through the smog over
''You work hard out here to try to win tournaments and earn the
respect of your peers, and then you realize you don't have to earn
the respect of the players, but the fans and the media, and that's
very difficult,'' Micheel said. ''I think maybe I'm starting to get
a handle on that.''
Not that Micheel is complaining.
He takes his status as a major champion seriously, and works
hard at trying to meet whatever opportunities and obligations that
comes his way.
What will it take to be a star?
''I don't know, maybe another PGA Championship,'' Micheel said.
''I'm trying to get there. I don't need that, really. I think I'm
pretty grounded. I don't need five airplanes. I don't need six
yachts. I need to make a living. I've got to be able to pay for my
trip to L.A., pay for my hotel down there in Santa Monica.''
Maruyama isn't paying for that this week. He has a home in
nearby Westwood and a membership at Riviera, although he doesn't
usually play the storied course as well as he did Thursday.
The Japanese star -- yes, he's a big star at home -- had eight
birdies and three times matched birdies with Micheel.
''Everything was very good,'' Maruyama said. ''I don't usually
play well over here.''
The most unusual par belonged to Kevin Sutherland on the
par-3 sixth, which has a bunker in the middle of the green. He hit
4-iron to the front right of the green, then tried to hammer a putt
up and around the bunker, no small task with a long putter. ''I
caught it fat,'' he said. The ball went into the bunker, and
Sutherland holed out for par. ''My caddie told me I was the only
guy who made par with a green-in-regulation and a sand save,'' he
said. ... No one had a tougher start at Riviera than Olin Browne.
Starting on the short 10th, he hit a wedge into the bunker, then
took four shots to get out and wound up with an 8. After Browne
made birdie two holes later, his caddie gave him his scorecard,
then showed him the green Shotlink card that indicates club
selection. It looked like the start of a Web site -- W-W-W-W-W. It
might have been six straight wedges, but once Browne got out of the
bunker, he used a fairway metal to putt from the first cut of
rough. ... David Toms, in his first tournament since wrist surgery,
had an even-par 71.

how to modify folder view details for music files?
Good afternoon everyone, Here is the problem. I am trying to get a standard view for the files under 'My Music' and all subfolders. Does not seem to work. Let us take an example: In the My Music\classical\ subfolder all the subfolders below that are artists names and the files may consist of mp3, mp4, m4a, flv, swf, some txt, occasional mpeg. It seems that if the folder contains all mp3 files then I can select 'name', 'size' & 'length' and in folder options I select view>apply to all folders then it will display correctly. But not if there are mp4, m4a, and flv mixed or some other combination. Then (whoever is in charge of my computer) adds all the additional columns and I wind up clicking away to remove the offending details only to have to do it again and again. Is there a way to do it 'my way'? Thanks for viewing!

Hello fb2,
This would be because of Automatic Folder Type Discovery. This is when Windows will automatically change the folder template of a folder to match the file type of the last file added or saved in the folder.
The tutorial below can show how to disable Automatic Folder Type Discovery.
Folder Template - Default
Afterwards, you can change the folder views and templates to what you want, and have them stick.
Hope this helps,

I have access to a ton of Herdman Info
Frederick Herdman 11/03/02
Is your information about the Northumberland area Herdman's from the UK? Did you ever see the name spelled Hardman? In our Herdman genealogical research I'm presently at a dead end with Michael Herdman/Hardman from early census/death records in Essex County, NJ, where the name is spelled variously and one of the records indicates that Michael came from Germany prior to the Revolution. I'm aware from my international travel that Herdman is considered both a British and German surname, although not terribly common in either country.
Best Regards,

Mangaluru: Sri Rama Sena held a press meet at the Press Club Urwa here, on February 17.
Addressing the mediapersons Convener of Sri Rama Sena, Venkatesh Padiyar said, "The word 'Yajna' means worship of God, charity and togetherness. One of the main purposes of yajna is to get together religiously inclined people to fulfill a useful purpose. In today's world the power of unity is of great importance. It is important to keep in mind the cleanliness and purity of the site of worship."
He further said, "We are happy to say that Sri Rama Sena and Arya Samaj are jointly holding the 'Gayatri Yajna' on 21 February at 11 am at the Kordabbu Barageshwara Temple, Kudkorigudde in Kankanady. The unseen powers awaken within us and are given an organised direction if these rituals are followed."
"We would like everyone to attend and participate in the Gayatri Yajna," he added.
Chanrashekhar Panchankattu and other Sri Rama Sena members were also present.
