The Diary: Food festival goes down well in City of the Tribes
I now fully understand the meaning of 'The West's Awake'. Do they ever sleep in the City of the Tribes? Such industry, interest in food and love of the craic!
We had it all at the fourth Galway Food Festival and the highlight was the Coast menu served by Michelle Crehan Kavanagh, chef and founder of the Kitchen Café at Galway City Museum on Saturday night.
The Café opened just weeks before the first ever Galway Food Festival which is located at the Spanish Arch, where we sat in sunshine. Michelle's inspiration for Coast @theKitchen came from the Galway Bay coastline, right on her doorstep, and she told me how she liaised closely on the menu with Stephane from Gannet Fishmongers and used Kelly oysters from Clarinbridge and sea urchins and sea lettuce from Mungo Murphy's Seaweed in Connemara.
But with Michelle there's always a twist and sexy international flavours so we had tempura oysters, Takoyaki octopus, Portugese Salt Ling, Brazilian Moqueca (a fish soup using lots of lime and coconut milk) packed with Galway Bay Prawns and local surf clams.
Enjoying the night were former Galway and All Ireland Winning footballer, Joe Bergin, business development manager at Ulster Bank and his fiancée, Dr Aoife Kiely, a GP Registrar and they attended with Aoife's parents, Western circuit barrister John Kiely and his wife Maura.
Among the other guests on the night were Galway architects Sarah Kelly and her husband Pat McCabe, who've designed many of Galway's most iconic buildings and are just fresh from completing a warehouse conversion for restaurateur Aoibheann Mc Namara of Ard Bia at Nimmos as her new private home close to the city centre.
Meanwhile, at the other end of Galway City in the Grande Dame of Eyre Square, Hotel Meyrick's GM Cian O Broin hosted a full Gaslight Bar and Brasserie where guests were treated to an Easter delight of A Taste of Chocolate Supper Club with Hazel Mountain Chocolatiers from Kinvara.
Heather Flaherty, chairperson of Galway Food Festival and Executive Chef at McCambridge's Grocery, Deli and Restaurant on Shop Street was thrilled with the energy around the place and the increased crowds.
On Friday night Heather hosted a Hunter Gatherer Feast where she cooked alongside Berlin chef and restaurant owner Rodrigo from the world's first Paleo restaurant.
It was lovely to bump into Connacht prop, Ronan Loughney and his fiancée, Finn Dillon, a Kerry native and a NUIG Law Graduate who met Ronan, a UL Business graduate, in Galway. Finn is following her dream and has given up law to open her own business, Roots and Greens, with ingredients from Beechlawn Organic. She is a mine of information about quinoa, matcha, chia seeds and Ronan vouched for the merits of her beetroot juice before a game.
Wall of Death leaves ballet dancers and bikers all shook up
Good news if you're a fan of Pat Kenny, Elvis Presley, and the tangy smell of industrial strength petrol. And let's face it - who isn't?
Arts centre Red Rua's latest installation piece - Is Art Worth Dying For? - combines all of the above. Huzzah!
The exhibition pays homage to farmers and brothers-in-law Connie Kiernan and Michael Donoghue who, having sat through Elvis Presley's largely forgettable 1964 film Roustabout, constructed a giant motorcycle Wall of Death in a field near Gubadorris, Co Leitrim back in 1979.
The duo fast became talk of the country; a fresh faced Pat Kenny interviewed them for RTE and director Peter Ormond penned feature film Eat the Peach about them.
And now, British artist Stephen Skrynka has picked up the mantle constructing not one, but two, Walls of Death in Tallaght.
One wall caters for wannabe Evil Kenevils while the other is made of 250 cardboard carpet rolls and records Skrynka's many failed attempts to take a spin around the Wall of Death himself.
"Connie and Michael's story is completely and utterly bonkers but in a way it sort of makes sense," he said at the grand opening.
"My time on the Wall of Death was a disaster - not to mention extremely painful. People may think it's all leather jackets and exhausts but there is a real ballet to flying around the walls."
Speaking of high octane dance moves, on Thursday I headed along to Ballet Ireland's latest show Tutus & Beyond at the Project Arts Centre.
The show was a mish mash of demi-pliés, Bob Fosse side-steps and modern dance.
Publisher Kathy Gilfillan, Director of The Gate Theatre Michael Colgan, sculptor Patrick O'Reilly and Bill Whelan all sauntered through the doors.
Before the show I caught up with Royal Ballet dancer-turned-choreographer, Ludovic Ondiviela, who was showcasing his work Lost. "It's all about myths and ancient legends with leg lifts and jumps," he said.
Kendall + Kylie line is headed this way
NO wonder I was sitting beside model Kendall Jenner (pictured below) at the Topshop show at London Fashion Week. The fact that she wasn't walking, and neither was Cara, confused the guests, but now it all makes total sense as Kendall had her designer hat on.
The teenager Jenner sisters - who shot to international fame through their family's Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality show on E! - are teaming up with Topshop and the girls' clothing collection, Kendall + Kylie, will be sold exclusively at Topshop stores worldwide and on their website from June. I had a sneak preview of their capsule summer wardrobe, characterised by the girls' LA lifestyle and their eclectic design aesthetic, and it includes vintage shapes in Hawaiian prints and a fabulous white duster coat.
The collection was the talk of the Arcadia press day held at the Morgan Hotel in Temple Bar on Thursday. Lisa and Paul Fitzpatrick's gleaming silver Airstream trailer gleamed like a silver bullet on the roof of their hotel and it was the most perfect place to take breakfast with Arcadia's team of nine who travelled over from London. The views of Dublin's skyline were equally impressive from Peter Marks' penthouse on South William St where the Council of Irish Fashion Designers rolled out their SS15 collections.
Pip sure goes the distance for his art
Following on from the success of her BBC adaptation of Esio Trot, director Dearbhla Walsh is busy working away on her next feature film Napoleon and Betsy.
The period drama tells the story of Elizabeth Balcombe, who struck up a relationship with a melancholic post-Waterloo Napoleon on the isle of Saint Helena.
"The script has a Lost in Translation feeling to it," Walsh said. "It's a great story and told from a female perspective - which is fantastic."
The film is still in development stages so it may be a while before it hits the silver screen. Still - good things come to those who wait.
Which brings me nicely to the opening of Pip Todd Warmoth's exhibition An Artist's Journey at the Molesworth Gallery. Pip - named after the tangy Cox's Orange Pippin apple - has spent years flitting about the globe painting picturesque landscapes.
"I go for four-month trips with 40 boards and follow my nose and stop where I like," Pip said. "I've watched the sun rise on the Blasket islands, slept in yurts in Mongolia, have travelled all around Tibet. It's a lot of time and travel for a painting but I couldn't do anything else," he said.
Nice work if you can get it.
How a great great grandmother can spark a fashion hit 90 years later
The fashion student design season is upon us and there were special celebrations this week to mark the 12th year of the River Island bursary with NCAD students .
I caught up with the 2006 winner, Lucy Moller (pictured right), and our fashion chat swiftly moved from 2015 hemlines and key trends to back a century, when I heard the fascinating story of the mould-breaking woman who inspired Lucy's winning collection nine years ago.
"My collection was inspired by Molly Childers, my great great grandmother and that's where I got my idea for women wearing mannish clothes," explained Lucy.
It's quite a tale as Molly and her husband Robert Erskine Childers were at the centre of the 1914 Howth gun running drama onboard their Asgard yacht which had been a wedding gift from her family, the Osgoods in Boston.
Lucy describes Molly as "a fascinating woman. She was actually paralysed from the waist down after falling into a lake as a child and wore leg braces."
The fearless Bostonian took the helm of the Asgard, strapped onto the deck with harnesses so she could navigate the rough waters with a hold full of Mauser German rifles for the Irish Volunteers.
The bit I liked most from Lucy's story was how Molly had some guns hidden under her big skirt which, in turn, inspired Lucy's idea for mannish silhouettes.
Molly Childers' husband, Erskine, who wrote The Riddle of the Sands, was executed at Beggar's Bush barracks in 1922 and their son, Erskine, became president of Ireland in 1973.
River Island's PR Emma Bolger told me that she is excited about announcing the 2015 winner at House Hotel at noon next Wednesday.
Thornton's bash turns into a theatre of food
Not many Irish restaurants can claim to have turned away snake-hipped scientologist, John Travolta, from its doors. But then again, not every restaurant is Thornton's.
The Michelin-starred gem celebrated its 25th year in business this week with a bang and a party full of chat about toques and tall orders.
"The Travolta thing was unfortunate," Muriel Thornton said. "But we were booked out. We're not big into the celebrity thing. We think of all our guests as VIPs."
That's made a bit easier given the restaurant's impressive guest list. Over the years they've wined and dined Hollywood A-Listers including Gregory Peck, Martin Scorsese and Jack Nicholson.
The anniversary bash turned into a sort of theatre of food as Thornton's chefs moved out of the kitchen into the dining room, whipping up tasty treats in front of guests.
"We wanted the kitchen to take centre stage," Kevin explained.
"To give people the chance to see what normally happens in the wings."
Kevin, who had spent the morning foraging for wild garlic and primroses in the Dublin foothills, looked proud as punch as he flitted about the room.
Bona fide foodies sipped champagne as trays filled with canapés of Inis Mór sea urchin, chocolate-covered venison and bite-sized macaroons did the rounds.
Derry and Sally Ann Clarke, Oliver Dunne and Domini Kemp all popped in during the night. "It's hard to believe it's been 25 years," Kevin said. "The time has flown by."

Does anyone know what causes this kind of weird ridging and misshapen egg? I have been having several like this over the last few days. They were not like this before. I think it is the same hen that keeps laying them.
Egg weirdness, does anyone know what causes this?
Hi cmox! Strange as it may seem I was just reading an article from backyard poultry and they had two eggs that looked very similar to yours. They said it was usually a result of lack of oyster shell. I called them as I thought the lack of oyster shell was generally seen in thin shelled eggs. The assured me while that was true that the wrinkly shell was also a result of lack of enough oyster shell, and that the shell wrinkled because of to much elasticity in the shell due to lack oyster shell which lends itself to proper thickness of egg shell. I learned something new today. Haystack. What can I say
I Believe theres something in damerows book on this. My opinion is could be from a egg pushing against another before it was laid i read somewhere thats how a egg can come out flat on one end.
A egg is formed in a hen in stages and the shell is the last to form. So any number of things can form it into strange ridges or long ones. it's nothing more than the hens reproductive system squeezing the egg when it's still flexible before it hardens. This is sort of like lazy ladies rubber eggs the hens reproductive system was just processing them to rapidly and they were missing the shell process.
I have never offered my chickens oyster shells or any calcium supplements and their egg shells are very strong.
Double yolk eggs are formed when a hens overies release two ovum at once and their reproductive system wraps them up and sends them thru.
usually eggs like that r a sign of IB= infectious bronchidous or there is a few other things that cause it but i can't think at the moment.
lack of calcium usually makes rubber eggs(which r smooth) or eggs with a light shell that crack like tissue paper when touched since it is so thin. my best guess is a form of IB.
Claire, Is it hard? Is the shell hard like a normal egg?
I just want to touch it. hehehe
It sure is odd though!
This message was edited Dec 11, 2008 7:04 AM
Yes, the shell is very, very hard like a normal egg, or harder. It is extremely rough to touch - none of the usual smoothness. I have some hens showing signs of runny nose and sneezing/rattling. I suspect it may be IB if that is the case. IB is viral, so I can't even treat it. Dang...
Harmony - that is another interesting option - it is affected on both ends though, and so very rough all over, like sandpaper. It just doesn't feel normal. :-(
Haystack - I'll put out extra oyster shell, just in case!
Found what silkie was refering too. http://www.afn.org/~poultry/flkman3.htm
Ugh....not a happy thing to read about....
Here's a interesting link http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/PS020
Here's one that explains the reproductive system
So, if I read that correctly it says that Rough or abnormal shell texture can be caused by ;Inherited
Newcastle disease or infectious bronchitis, Excessive use of antibiotics, Excess calcium consumption by the hens, or Copper deficiency. How do you know which?
Man, I feel like we need a Phd to raise chickens!
I wanted to give Claire all the info i could and let her decide which she thinks it is.
Sewin If you have a strange egg and your others are laying normaly and not showing signs of sickness i wouldn't worry about it.
It could just be the hen some information is very useful but it's up to us as the owners to figure out whats best for them.
I always go with the simplest explanation as in the "it was just a fluke egg". But if my others are showing sickness or laying strange eggs too then i would check that out.
I didn't know the abnormal egg shells could be from too much calcium i learned something to.
Ya, That was very informative. I did not know too much could do it either!
See we are life long learners! Its always good to know!
I learn something new all the time ^_^
We'll get one of those maybe twice a year. I had always assumed it was due to insufficient nutrients of some sort while the egg was hardening. Never had the performance repeated with any regularity, though...
Are the links on the link thread? Still need to do that over/revamp...
Thats what i was saying i have had the huge egg, the wavy egg, the rubber egg, the pimply egg, oh and my favorite the hen holding her egg to long Bullet Egg.
But if Claire has the sneezing/rattling going on it could be IB.
If i get a weird egg once in a while i laugh and say thanks to the hen for the joke.
Heres some of the jokes my hens played on me LOL (the little eggs are in an acorn top)
Those are so tiny! That would be a cute Christmas tree decoration, especially with a little tiny hen on top of it! I love the speckled one. What kind of chicken laid that?
The Large one was and Americana it was green but faded i have had that one 2 years.
Okay the dark brown one was laid by a Barred Rock i watched her lay it.
I have had the tiny ones a while and can't remember if they are bantam or standard eggs.
WOW! I love the speckled egg!
The tiny ones are FUNNY! I cant imagine a hen even laying one. Would she know she layed?
You think it's funny seeing them here imagine reaching in a nest and pulling out one of them. LOL
Hi CMox I'm so glad for these little debates on some of the problems we encounter. It always serves to make me dig a little deeper, and also to reread articles to see if I mis-understood, or misinterpreted what I read. So any way I went back and reread the Backyard Poultry article Vol 3 Number 4 August/Sept 2008 page 37 upper right corner. It states the wrinkled egg is usually the result of Calcium defiency, or to much Phosphorus. Another possibility is disease, as earlier stated IB. After that it gives four reasons for soft shells. This article is written By Gail Damerow. The article shows five weird eggs. Interesting stuff, and thanks for challenging us. Haystack
Hey Harm: I was recently telling CMox about a dinky egg I found also. In all the years I have raised chickens I had never seen or heard of one. She called it a hiccup egg. It is about the size of a robins egg. I could not believe it at first. I was so happy to see your's as I thought nobody would believe me. Your brow speckled egg looks so much like one of my marans eggs I get every day. This is what I love about this forum, the information and the pic's. Thanks for sharing. Haystack.
Haystack, did that tiny egg have a yolk?
Those little eggs remind me of the eggs my parakeets and cockatiels used to gift me with. I can imagine a bantam pullets first eggs would be that small.
Hi ZZ'S! I don't know as I have kept the egg. I was going to ask KarBear to take a pic of it and post it. Outside of those eggs Harm posted I have never seen an this small, I mean it is dinky, I would guess it would take five of these to make a real egg maybe six. Haystack. After I get it posted I'm going to crack it and see whats inside. Another thing that just happened to me was I cracked and egg yesterday to make some french toast, the whole egg was yoke no white anywhere. what gives.
i love pullet eggs we have them alot when new layers start to lay it is actually very common. i love finding them lets me know my little girls r now ladies,hehe. all of ours have all had yolk and whites except one it was so small it was just whites inside.
i'll have to email pics of the last one i got from my cell phone. it was a buff silkie egg and easily less than half the size of one of my pigeon eggs. cute little thing kinda looks like a light bulb with how weird shaped it is,lol. i haven't cracked it yet to see if it has both parts. as long as they r not to aweful under smaller than normal usually pullet eggs r hatchable but babies r tiny and sometimes have complications. my fav is huge torpedo eggs usually they r double yolkers, double breakfast is always nice makes good eggie sandwiches. my 4 year old loves the pullet eggs cause they r "sissy size" (her size lol), i think she misses eating quail eggs.
The reason I ask Haystack.. is I'm reading about them right now.. and if I remember correctly, those lil hiccup eggs don't have a yolk... Now it's sparked my interest.. I've gotta get the book out. (Thank you Catscan for the loaner!) I'm learining soooo much! I love it.
Hello everyone glad to know some have encountered these tiny ones. I never opened mine they are to fasinateing to keep and show to people and see their expressions.
Haystack yes i like for others to debate if i have a topic it helps for us to decide whats best for us. I always check out all angles on things before i commit to a treatment. I take into account symptoms, correct treatment for symptoms and finally cost. Some people can't really afford expensive treatment so i give them inexpensive remedies like $3 antibiotic ointment and peroxide for minor injuries. But i also advise vet care in severe cases some things will only get better thru shots and not everyone has the nerve for that.
Luckly most chicken things can easily be handled by the owner and not be that expensive.
Harm! I have really come to enjoy the people on these poultry forums. I know sometimes we have different oppinions and experiences. And they are all usually valid, but seldom does one approach serve all. Having said that just because I choose to try something different than what someone advised, that doesn't mean I discarding their advice, It only means I have decided to try what I feel comfortable with. We should not feel offended when others disagree with us or give different advice. I think it is healthy to feel challenged. One young lady from Port Angeles stated that I had advised her to give terramycin to her flock, but if you read her first post, and then read my comment, you'll see that I did not suggest she should give them terramycin. I only shared my experience and what I did about it, in fact just following my comment, I commented that she might want to reconsider using terramycin due to the fact that her chicks are laying, where mine were not when I used it. Anyways thanks Harm it's alway's a pleasure to hear from you.
I was wonder, Moxon, what are the interior of the eggs like? Do they appear normal? Is IB egg borne?
I have not cracked either of the eggs that look like that. They are both in the fridge for now. I have read that watery whites are another symptom in the egg if it is IB, so I will be wearing my monocle when I crack them...
I had one egg like that - only once last year while my birds were living in my garage through rough Wisconsin winter - I used Calcium powder to mix in the feeder. Now I have a coop with access to the outdoors and the girls can scratch for dirt for minerals. Also I feed them the broken egg shells of my breakfast. Do you guys feed egg shells? I've had one dead bird this summer and could not explain why. So, I read your posts about that. On those posts I found your suggestion to put vinegar in the water - perhaps water also keeps the water to turn green. I drink water with citrus essential oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit pure essential oils help the body to release more water, detox .... keeps my body weight in check) ... and one drop of citrus ess. oil sanitizes one gallon of water. I have been using essential oils in my chicken water. I use oils that ae medicinal grade ... always be careful how the oils are extracted .... some cheap aromatherapy oils are good for moisture in the air, but I would not put them on the skin, nor ingest. I enjoy reading your posts! Keep up the good work! Curzio
Interesting! I use essential oils for studying (rosemary) because they help sharpen the memory, and also a blend called Quiesence for sleeping when my brain won't "shut up" at night! I get essential oils from my massage therapist who sells them on the side, but hers are medicinal grade also. Pricey but great! I should ask her about the best ones for my chickens!
I feed oyster shells in winter when they can't get to the ground as much.
Haystack i was not referring to your advice and i'm sorry if you thought i was. I was saying that i personally enjoy people giveing me different aproaches to a problem i may be haveing.
I also said i like for people to choose what is best for them and it doe's not have to be what i recommend.
I don't believe i commented on the thread of terramycin i think that was Silkie or Claire.
I also was not offended i don't know why you think i was???
curzio and Claire the oils sound very interesting ^_^
Yea I have seen that before my aunties Isa Brown had eggs like that but5 not sure what is wrong, could it be that they are old hens laying this?
No Harm! I did not think you were refering to my advice, I was just confering with you as I appreciated what you had said. Have a great day. Haystack
So if the egg comes out like that its okay to eat right...
Yeah, mine had slightly runnier whites which to me confirms the IB diagnosis even more. You can still eat them though.
I saw your post and fuzzychicken and I will definitely bring a camera. I am going to have her work on making dreamcatchers on the way up there since it will be a long drive. We are making them for the "cranberry festival" held in Grayland next October. Let's hope that the roads will be okay so we can make it up there. I took my car out Sunday and got stuck and my DH had to come rescue me. My neice and I are pretty excited about the trip though and cannot wait to meet you and your flock!

ZYN002 – CBD Gel
First and Only Synthetic CBD Formulated as a Permeation-Enhanced Gel Being Developed for Refractory Epilepsy, Osteoarthritis and Fragile X Syndrome
ZYN002 is a synthetic CBD formulated as a permeation-enhanced gel for transdermal delivery. ZYN002 is being developed as a clear gel that is designed to provide consistent, controlled and sustained drug delivery with convenient twice-daily dosing.
Addressing Limitations of Current Treatments
Challenge: Oral administration
Oral administration can lead to limitations in safety and efficacy including low bioavailability, inconsistent plasma levels and significant first-pass liver metabolism. (First-pass liver metabolism refers to the process by which the liver breaks down therapeutics ingested directly or indirectly through the gastrointestinal system, such as through oral or oral mucosal delivery methods, allowing only a small amount of drug to be absorbed into the circulatory system.)
Potential Benefit of ZYN002:
Transdermal therapeutics are absorbed through the skin directly into the systemic circulation, avoiding first-pass liver metabolism and potentially enabling lower dosage levels of active pharmaceutical ingredients and rapid and reliable absorption with increased bioavailability. Other benefits of transdermal delivery compared with oral administration may include fewer drug-drug interactions, lower incidence of negative psychoactive effects, lower incidence of gastrointestinal events and the avoidance of degradation of CBD to THC. In clinical studies, ZYN002 has demonstrated no reports of somnolence or fatigue and a very low incidence of gastrointestinal events.
Challenge: CBD degradation to THC in the stomach
An in vitro study, titled "Identification of Psychoactive Degradants of Cannabidiol in Simulated Gastric and Physiological Fluid," which was conducted by Zynerba and published in April 2016, demonstrated that CBD is degraded to THC in an acidic environment such as the stomach. We believe such degradation may lead to increased psychoactive effects.
Potential Benefit of ZYN002:
Transdermal delivery of ZYN002 avoids the gastrointestinal tract and potential stomach acid degradation.
Challenge: Botanically derived cannabinoids
Botanical cannabinoids create significant challenges for drug manufacturers because of the natural resources and security measures required to grow Cannabis, as well as the strict batch controls required by regulatory agencies in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Potential Benefit of ZYN002:
Our product candidates are synthetically manufactured per FDA/CGMP regulations. We believe synthetic manufacturing provides consistent potency and eliminates impurities in the product.
ZYN002: Permeation-Enhanced Gel
ZYN002 is a synthetic CBD formulated as a permeation-enhanced gel for transdermal delivery.
Epilepsy is a disease characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures (transient symptoms due to abnormal neuronal activity in the brain) and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological and social consequences of the condition. The most common seizure type in patients with epilepsy is the focal seizure also known as a partial onset seizure. Focal seizures start in a small area of the brain and quickly involve other areas of the brain and often affect alertness and awareness. Approximately 2.2 million patients in the US battle epilepsy. Focal seizures are the most common type of seizure, representing 35% of all epilepsies.

Holly Springs, NC (PressExposure) May 17, 2008 -- CW2 Clint Tabor enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1995, and served with the 101st Airborne Unit, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky until 2001. In 2001 when his contract was up, he separated from active duty and joined the Arizona National Guard when his family moved there from Fort Campbell.
While Tabor was in Arizona, he worked as an airline pilot for Mesa Airlines. But in the summer of 2006, his unit was activated for deployment, and they then moved to Fort Hood to train for one year before deployment.
In January of 2007, Tabor and his unit finally made it to Kandahar, Afghanistan where he served proudly for seven months before being brought back to the states for medical evaluation for a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)-related injury.
âAs an airline pilot with the Army, it was imperative that I was fully rested and alert for duty, otherwise I would compromise lives,â Tabor recalled. âI had insomnia and wasnât sleeping at all, so they sent me home from Afghanistan for evaluation.â
When he was flown home in September of 2007, by way of the Armyâs Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, Tabor was immediately put under observation for his PTSD that was causing his insomnia.
âSince I have been home, my insomnia has improved drastically and I know that most of it has to do with the fact that the other members of my unit have since returned home, completely safe and sound,â Tabor said. âThis had a lot to do with me not sleeping; I was worried about my guys. But I still donât sleep like I used to.â
But now, Tabor thinks that he might be able to get the sleep that he once did before his deployments.
Tabor was selected as this weekâs winner to receive a free Craftmatic® Adjustable Bed because of his injuries and military service. Craftmatic is delivering one free bed a week to a deserving injured veteran, through the CraftmaticCARES Program.
âBecause of my insomnia, I was overjoyed when I first heard that I would receive a Craftmatic bed,â Tabor said. âRight now I use a memory foam mattress, and it is okay, but I think that the adjustable nature of the Craftmatic bed will really help me sleep better and hopefully cure my insomnia.â
âThe CraftmaticCARES Program was created as a way for our company to give back to the men and women who have given so much for our country,â said Eric Kraftsow, Elevation Bed, LLC owners of the Craftmatic trademark. âDue to the âSâ shape of the spine, ordinary flat beds tend to create gaps where your legs and spine arenât supported. Craftmatic beds adjust so that these gaps are eliminated and the spine is fully supported. This eases the pain that these injured veterans are feeling when they toss and turn at night on their flat beds. We are so excited that now these wounded heroes will be getting the sleep and support that they deserve.â
Tabor is currently still active duty until he has one more surgery scheduled for this month. Upon completion of the surgery, he hopes to be returned back into the reserves.

EGM a bid to damage firm, Petroceltic tells court
Irish oil and gas exploration firm Petroceltic has claimed before the High Court that an EGM called by its largest shareholder is the latest attempt to obstruct and damage the firm's business.
In proceedings against Worldview International Ltd SEZC, which through a nominee company holds 29pc of Petroceltic's share capital, the exploration company seeks an injunction preventing an EGM convened for London on October 5 from taking place.
Petroceltic want the injunction to remain in place pending the final outcome of the dispute between the parties.
In a sworn statement to the court, Petroceltic's ceo, Brian O'Cathain, said Worldview have used social media to post "allegations and attacks" on Petroceltic's management. He added that the EGM, which has no legal status, is part of Worldview's campaign to obstruct Petroceltic's board.
The respondents, represented by Michael Cush SC, opposed the application and argued that the EGM should go ahead.

So what is a Keratin treatment?
Keratin, a protein that is found naturally in your hair, is used to fill in dry, cracked hair cuticles in a Keratin treatment. The treatment is mixed with small amounts of formaldehyde, applied to the hair and then the hair is sealed with a flat iron. After the treatment, individuals are instructed to not wash their hair for three to four days to allow the solution to set in. The result is smooth, shiny hair-even for people with naturally course, curly tresses!
Although some have raised questions about how safe formaldehyde is, most companies say they put in only trace amounts of the chemical in their solutions. Formaldehyde is a chemical with a strong, irritating odor that is believed to be carcinogenic. Be sure to ask your cosmetologist about the amount of formaldehyde in your Keratin treatment. High levels are dangerous and should be avoided. Any treatment with less than two percent of the chemical, however, won't be effective and isn't worth your money.
So who is a good candidate for a Keratin treatment? Many people with course, frizzy hair that is difficult to work with in humid climates find the treatment highly effective, but cosmetologists say the treatment is beneficial for almost anyone. Even if you already have straight hair, Keratin is able to be a strengthening and restorative treatment.
People continue to praise this "life-changing" hair treatment. But the cost and safety of the product is important to consider. Have any of you tried a Keratin treatment? Leave us some feedback about the results-good or bad!

A Prayer for God's Greatness
By: Gwen Smith
But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You are our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. (Isaiah 64:8, NIV)
We don't have to look far to be amazed by the handiwork of our Creator. David was in constant wonder of Him as he looked at the sky!
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens…. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? (Psalm 8:1-2, 4)
And when a wounded and weary man named Job spoke to God of his frustration and challenged the Almighty on the painful things He had allowed him to endure, God responded out of a mighty storm. (Job 38:1)
Through divine questions, God made it clear that we, the created, will not understand the nature of His workings, and confirmed that by Him all life and nature is brought into existence and sustained. God's questions left Job with a proper perspective of the power and awesomeness of our Creator.
Job eventually replied, "I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer—twice, but I will say no more." (Job 40: 4-5) "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted… My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you." (Job 42: 2,5)
I shake my head and bend my knees at this in fresh awareness that God is so much greater than I know.
God's greatness is written in the stars. It's written in the foundations of the earth. It's written in the crashing waves… and, by grace, it's written on my heart.
Let's Pray
Holy Lord, There is none like You and Your greatness is unsearchable. Thank You for writing Your love on the fabric of humanity and on all that is created by Your hands. Thank You for expressing Your love to me in the intricate, design details of my life. I stand in awe and bless Your great name.
In Jesus's Name I pray,

Well golly gee wiz. I forgot you all existed and that I even had an account here. I finally got a tablet to draw on my god computer, still don't have any professional program though, I've just been using Gimp. Fucking Gimp... Anyhow, I hope anyone reading this is doing well and enjoys anything I end up posting from here on out.
LIfe has been just meh lately.
Haven't been able to draw well lately, nothing has been inspiring me enough... I need to work on that more.
I really want to make something great to put in the art portal.
I don't think I have the patience for hardcore animation, but I've been practicing a bit with it. Might help if I have real life models to help me out on it. I just do little gifs for friends here and there...
Other than all that I've been wasting away watching Sgt Frog and playing various video games.
The end.
Also, enjoy this old as fuck picture I drew.
Awww yeuh, so I was looking through my old drawings and thought that I should share with you all something very very old. <3 I've come such a long way, I don't even know if you'd call it progress, I feel like I haven't gotten too much better, but I have at least changed. I'm not really sure, but I hope you guys enjoy this crap I used to draw.
In other news I haven't been up to much at all. Drinking tea, playing games...Not much else has been up. x_x I'm a horrible person! AHHH~~ anyways~
Welp. I've been out of school for a couple months now, and still haven't found a job. XD Went back to ask my teachers if they knew of any places hiring, and they gave me a few. So here's hoping...
As for art...I've been even lazier. Did a few commissions, but lost my inspiration. I MUST GET BACK INTO THE GROOVE, DANG IT.
I think it'll happen soon. I'm feeling really happy lately. :3 That usually helps. > w >
ANYWAYS. >:o I love you people. <3
How I usually feel:
So, I hadn't been really active in art for a long time, but the start of this year has inspired me for some reason. I'm trying to get back into the habit of drawing full-page pictures. Trying to cover every bit, or at least let the picture be A PICTURE.
I have been very busy with school and I usually never want to do anything. My creative spirit has been being poured into more stuff like scarves,earrings, and fruit.
Me and my classmate, Ryan, made this melon together! Thought I would share it with you guys on Newgrounds. <3
(ryan) MELON (me) lol
So, I'm realizing how awesome Newgrounds really is. You see, on deviantArt I neeever got many page views or views on my work, but here on Newgrounds I've gotten front paged and I have 11K views on my last picture that was front paged. That's really all I have ever wanted: People to see it. I don't care if you like it, if you hate it...I just want you to see it. I want the world to see it. I don't know why, but that's just what I want. C: I want to inspire, to infect your mind with my work. Even if you hate it, it's still in your brain, and it influences you whether you want it to or not.
So thank you for everything! <33
I love you guys. <3
*is all mushy* X3
Another front page. <3
I am so happy I joined this site. Seriously...Best self-esteem boosts ever. <3
Thank you all.
4th time this year so far!
I am so happy. T.T <3
Thank you newgrounds Gods! <33
I am about to post more art I did today! YAY!
No luck finding uh job. No luck selling art cause I SUCK ASS.
Maybe I'm just destined to be a NEET for the rest of my life. Fuuuuck.
My art just keeps going down hill, it's not noteworthy and it's a piece of shit. I only do it for fun, so I don't really give a fuck what people think anyways, but some sort of cash flow would be nice.
Life is a giant whore and it can suck my hairy sweaty smelly ball sack.
Fuh realz.
I just spent all night watching hey Arnold on Netfilx. I HAVE NO FUCKING LIFE. Though I do love that show, sure did bring back many feelings and memories, but that's all they are and they mean nothing to you people. SO whatever. >n>
P.s people suck sometimes. Well...mostly. Mostly all the time.
Prices are negotiable. I'm not that expensive T.T
I am begging you people for money at this point.

On the other hand if you'd prefer the human touch and would like to discuss a package deal with us rather than paying by the track, and maybe have a chat on the phone or via e-mail so that we can go into some detail with you about your specific needs then our unattended mastering service is for you. It's just like booking an attended mastering session apart from the fact that you won't be there, and it starts with a phone call or email rather than everything being done through the website.

An extensive study carried out in Canada confirms the conclusions I have drawn from the recent work by Prof John Olivier in NSW: Safe infrastructure for people riding bicycles reduces injury rates.
The routes of 690 cyclists that were hospitalised were analysed. The lowest risks were:
- cycle tracks (bike lanes physically separated from motor vehicle traffic) alongside major streets (about 1/10 the risk)
- residential street bike routes (about 1/2 the risk)
Not surprisingly people will choose safer routes if they are available.
The study is commented on the University of British Columbia site

Hey, thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. I like your blog but don't have access to too many books in Afghanistan...

I do read fairly quickly, although moonrat exaggerates a bit. In this case, I read the book a while ago and loved it, so I thought I'd pass it along.
And I think that Faulkner took at least 10 minutes - although I have no recollection of this event actually happening. I think it may be a figure of Moonrat's imagination.

Nope. It was called A ROSE FOR MISS EMILY and it was about an old Southern lady whose suitor had left her. Ringing any bells?

Star Ocean EX - anime vs game series
I've downloaded all 26 eps of this, but before I start watching I was wondering if anybody knew how, if at all, the anime figures in with the game series. I didn't play either of the two previous Star Ocean games, but after reading some previews and downloading a trailer, I'm eagerly awaiting Star Ocean: Till the End of Time for PS2. I'm just worried that watching the full anime series might spoil me for what's coming in the game.
So, uh... any Star Ocean gurus want to explain how exactly the anime relates with the gaming franchise, or at least point me in the direction of a helpful website?
I like the game far better... but then it's mainly because of the gameplay... ;)
The anime is so-so, it fixed some awkward plot events in the game, but it also brought in some new awkward plot events. Also it's far more light-hearted than the game, which is a minus for me. Another major downside of the anime is that it's incomplete, it basically covers only the first half of the game, and ended rather abruptly.
If you are a Star Ocean 2 fan like me, you may want to watch the anime simply to see an anime version Dias Flac and Firebird Shockwave :p But if you never played the games, it's just an average series with just enough comedy to keep it going I guess...
I'd say get the Star Ocean 2 game for sure, it's my favorite PSX game and among the top 10 all-time best RPG for me :cool:
Ah, excellent. Guess I can watch it with no reservations then =D. Hell, maybe I'll even decide to grab SO2 after I watch it, if it's good.
Well, IMO, the anime would have been better if Claude didn't have such an annoying voice. And him doing the same basic moves every single time he fights gets old real quick. That and they got lazy with the animation at times. Still, it follows the game quite closely, if I remember correctly. (it's been over a year since I've seen the anime, and over 3 since I played the game). One final knock on it is, as mentioned, it cuts off quite abruptly. It basically ends after the first disc of the game ends.
they reeeeeeally over glorified Air Slash...at the equivalant points, when Claude was blowing away stuff with air slash, in the game i was splitting heads with Head Splitter :)
So everyone says the second one is really great but what about the first one? Do the storys connect with the first and second games? I've never played any of the star oceans and Star Ocean 3 will probably be my first one when it comes out. Should I play them in order?
one of the two main character intros for Star Ocean 2 briefly summarizes the events happened in the original Star Ocean, and covered all that is relevant to SO2, so you don't need to play SO1 before SO2. Nonetheless SO1 is a great SNES game so you may want to play it if you can get it.
Basically the anime series sticks so closely to the game (second story) that fans are getting bored with it! It ties in with all the comics, too...anyone for Leon-chan the amazing cat genius?
The main weakness I remember from Star Ocean 2 was the incredibly short endings, just a few spoken lines from each character's epilogue, even Claude's and Rena's. It just felt so rushed.
well... Claude's Air Slash is lame, but Dias' Air Slash totally ROCKS!
Mirror Slice is so-so, Ripper Blast and Dargon Howl all the way :D
Near end-game when every attack did 9999, all the enemies were too fast to be hit by mirror slash (sp?) and headsplitter only hit once, so I used the skill that kicked up lots of pieces of earth at the enemy that hit a few times and was plenty fast...
The anime version of SO2 follows Disk 1 faithfully until the Lacour Tournament of Arms, when it starts going into it's own thing(and when it starts going downhill very, very fast).
However, the anime ends in Disk 1, and Disk 2 was never animated, but it was released in drama cds.
But the anime is really bad when compared to the game, and especially the manga (the manga follows the game more faithfully). Plus, Rena isn't so friggin useless in the anime (she knows how to kick ass in the manga), Claude doesn't use the same move over and over again, and Ashton isn't so useless without his Dragons.
Opera isn't in it..T_________________T
The anime like everyone says is OK...and it ridiculously follows the storyline of the game so anyone thats played either will end up knowing the plot easily.
Ashton = pwnt
Or are you talking about the manga? I've only seen the first few chapters scanlated, so I wouldn't know about that one.
As for Ashton, I didn't even use him the first time I played the game. It wasn't until after I'd seen the anime that I felt something was missing without him on the team.
the anime buthered many characters, it severely chibified Rena (she's supposed to be 17... but appears more like under 12 in the anime), made even more a fool out of Ashton (he doesn't even know how to fight in the anime, and everytime needs to get possessed by the dragon to fight his enemies...), and Dias and Claude gets all friendly all too soon...
just my 2 cents
I think Star Ocean EX would be pretty crappy as a stand alone anime. The characters are mashed into these anime stereotypes and the plot is a bit canned. And even as an addition to the game, it's not all that great. As someone mentioned above, they mess around with the character personalities, changing them for the worse in my opinion. I think you'd be better off playing the game first, and then if you really want or you're really bored, you could pick up the anime. The game at least has the saving grace of being fun to play.
Hmm...maybe I might have missed her..>_>
I haven't watched it in a long time so I might have forgotten alot of things.

Link: Making a PornBurger With Mathew Ramsey | National Geographic Channel
Delve into the dark arts of hamburgery with food blogger Mathew Ramsey to see just how much work goes into crafting the mouthwatering masterpieces featured on his popular website, PornBurger.
It's been a good week of TV stardom for Nomiku! First, we were used in the new Food Network show, Kitchen Inferno, by Chef Michael Chiarello (to make a winning sous vide duck dish, btw) and now we're on National Geographic!
The genius behind PornBurger showed Nat Geo how to make his "Bill U Murray Me Burger" (you can catch our version here). The Bill U Murray Me has a sous vide yolk inside and the patty is sous vide itself, before being thrown onto a grill.
It's a beautiful masterpiece, and as Mathew says–a true "tonguegasm"
Check out the beautiful video here!
We're feeling like proud parents this week (at least more than usual) after our baby Nom starring roles 😉
Happy Friday,
The Nom Team

Client Servant or Partner?
A lot of my work recently has been about value… supporting consultants to raise their fees. In today's competitive market, fee-pressure seems to be a common problem across professions: from international consulting organisations to national law firms to independent project-managers.
In order to raise fees, you have to raise perceived value. To raise value, your services have to be valued. So do you.
It's all too easy to be seen as the client's servant. Whatever we say about ourselves (credibility) there are certain behaviours – in meetings and on email – that may still diminish the value of our services… even before we quote for them.
When it comes to fees, your words are only a small part of your credibility. Your behaviour may well dictate a larger part of the equation.
The key to success is shifting from "client servant" to real "client partner". In this way, you build a peer-to-peer relationship with your client, right from the first meeting.
Here a few examples of Client Servant behaviour:
- Allowing yourself to be interviewed by the client / prospect
- Trying too hard to be "interesting", instead of being "interested"
- Going into detail too quickly, without context
- Answering "how" questions, instead of reframing them
- Not bringing any insights to meetings: just turning up to respond to their agenda
- Being too readily available
- Conducting self-preoccupied client reviews, instead of exploring value/usefulness
- Quoting a daily (or hourly) rate too early
- Taking too many notes
- Discounting your fees (often even without being asked!)
- Talking about you, instead of them and their world
- Not know how (and when) to share success stories
- Bringing technical insights to the wrong people
- Being solely interested in "give us an assignment" conversations
- Long, rambling emails, too full of detail
And there are more. In today's crowded markets, it's all too easy to be seen as "just another service-provider" desperate for attention.
If that's the norm, what are you doing to stand out? How can you establish a peer-to-peer relationship with your client, where you are seen as a real partner and not just their servant?
You are welcome to get in touch: email@example.com

Stefano Tordiglione Design conceives an interior that is rich in colour and texture for Brooks Brothers Hong Kong, writes Christie Lee.
August 14th, 2014
It can be daunting to design for a heritage brand, let alone one that's been standing for nearly two centuries. Stefano Tordiglione Design was given this momentous task when Brooks Brothers opened its 80-square-metre Hong Kong flagship store in May.
The brief for the Hong Kong-based award-winning firm was simple: to design a store that reflects the brand's heritage, while fusing it with contemporary touches that would appeal to the modern-day dapper gent.
With inspiration culled from the century-old flagship at 346 Madison Avenue in New York City, the narrow columns flanking the entrance and window displays are wrapped in stucco plasters.
Upon entering the space, customers stroll past the cash desk to peruse the wide range of shirts and ties on display. A skeletal backless unit makes up the Shirt Wall, giving the illusion that the procession of shirts are floating in mid-air from afar. Soothing and inviting, the green striped back wall is said to be inspired by the interiors of one of the oldest apartments on Park Avenue. Interspersed with the brand's ubiquitous Golden Fleece logo, the facade is decked out in a geometric pattern that was inspired by a classic window pane design of a 20th century mansion located in Long Island.
The walls are doused in lush American walnut and Chicago cherry, imbuing the space with a sense of old-world grandeur. An industrial-styled chandelier, just above the cash bar, provides industrial flair. Reworked from a classic New York paving pattern, the mosaic floor is a subtle exercise in nostalgia. Jumbled together with the above are antique store fixtures, which are placed sparingly throughout the expansive store.
The fitting rooms, deck out in a mesmerising turquoise, adds to the rich hues and textures.
Stefano Tordiglione Design was keenly aware of need to pay tribute to the brand's heritage while avoiding ostentation. The result was series of large-sized photographs highlighting the various contributions that Brooks Brothers have made to the fashion industry. Look out for the world's first ready-to-wear outfit, the button down dress shirt and non-iron shirt.

Dark Christmasby Bradley Rubenstein
Dark Christmas, at Leo Koenig, gives us an alternative view of the holiday—something like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas meets Caligula. Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ" (1987) comes off looking greeting-card friendly when placed in the context of Cindy Sherman's "Untitled #122" (1983), a Mommy Dearest-looking, bleached-blonde, and slightly egg-noggy drenched self-portrait. Hans Bellmer's photographs of broken toy dolls from the 1930s and '40s add a poignant but creepy touch. Paul McCarthy's "Hot Dog" (1974), a series of photographs of an early performance, is both fascinating and repulsive—though something from his Santa Claus series would have been a better fit. Of particular note in this lively grouping are several examples of outstanding painting, including Georg Baselitz's seminal "The Big Night Down the Drain" (1962–63) and Nicola Tyson's "Self-Portrait with Friend" (2011), a radiant double portrait in cheerful hues. The latter is reminiscent of Matisse's "The Conversation" (1908–12), in which Matisse depicts his wife Amélie in a black and green housecoat, seated in a throne-like armchair, while he wears his signature striped pajamas. Tyson simplifies her background into two flat planes of color—yellow for the walls and blue for the ground. In an exhibition dominated by darkly-themed works, Tyson's "Self-Portrait with Friend" is a welcome gift, indeed.

Sparse Melody and High-Class Noise: Phil Kline with Jim Jarmuschby Marshall Yarbrough
MAY 2017 | Music
On a Wednesday evening in early April, Roulette hosted a concert from composer Phil Kline, featuring a range of pieces from the past decade. The evening was divided into two parts, the first half presenting a set of compact, haunting art songs, the latter an extended wave of drawn-out guitar noise. Kline's many projects include the worldwide Christmas phenomenon Unsilent Night, and like a greatest hits album by a still-active band, the Roulette show seemed only to offer a small slice of the composer's work—a small slice, but enough to recommend the rest.

Only four swift, tourist-cluttered blocks from the newly minted Apple store, a veritable oasis lies in wait. Push through Rosemary's swinging wooden doors and bathe in a ruby-red glow of year-round Christmas lights, throw back a $3 Budweiser, and attempt to slowly out-woo a warm, dreadlocked bartender who calls everyone "honey."

Delusions of Being Observed
DEC 16-JAN 17 | Fiction
We didn't live together, except for the time in Provincetown, where we go for weeks at a time, starting right after Christmas when no one is around. Time slows down when the world is void of people and when you go outside all you see is the ocean, the shells and pebbles embedded in the sand shifting under your feet, the cold sky overhead and the whitecaps pummeling the shore.
FERAL FOSTER with Stephanie Joy Del Rosso

Walking into the Jalopy Theatre and School of Music feels a little like walking into a time capsule. Christmas lights and a red velvet curtain frame the stage. A barman sells cheap beer from behind an old-fashioned cash register.

How to maximize your productivity
If you were given $86,400 and told you had to spend it today or lose it, the chances are you would spend it all on things you wanted. However, translate that $86,400 into seconds (that equates to the number of seconds in a day) and the chances are that you either spend a lot of those seconds doing stuff you don't want to do or you waste them by not doing anything at all.
One of the best things to do to take charge of time is to make a default diary for yourself or your business. First of all, list out all the things that need doing over a week. Then, starting with a blank calendar, fill in the working week in blocks of time that you will do those tasks.
Think carefully about when you will do certain things. For example, if you're an early riser and get to your desk before business hours then plan to do stuff that doesn't need you to talk to other businesses or clients; that way you will be able to maximize the working day to stuff that needs to be done between 9am and 5pm. When you're starting a new business the last thing you should be doing is wasting valuable work hours doing things that aren't bringing in sales.
Alternatively, if there's something that you hate doing then plan that in for the start of the day. By doing it first you will then feel better about the rest of the day.
Another part of your default diary should be your use of technology. Turn off your email alert and only check emails at specific times of day such as 0745, 1145 and 1645. Then, have time allocated in the diary to deal with them. Similarly, stay away from the Web; it may be a great tool but it has the ability to shift time.
Dealing with people can be a difficult one to plan in; employees will turn up with all sorts of problems at random times and customers will also use the most inopportune moment to try and push you of track. In both cases there are two ways to deal with interruptions. The first is to listen to the issue/request and then tell the individual that you now have the details and will deal with it at a specific time. Give them a time when they can either come back to talk or by which time you will have dealt with their issue and will get back to them (and make sure you stick to this promise).
The second thing to do is to start training your team and customers to not expect an immediate answer or action on something (unless it's an emergency) but to know that they are not being ignored. I know that sounds odd but it works. People don't phone you in the middle of the night because they know you are doing something else (sleeping); if you explain that at certain times of the day/week you are busy doing other important stuff then they will start to learn and understand and fit in with your program.
If you're going to run a good business you need time – and that means you need to control time so do yourself a favor and set up your default diary. It works.

Marcin Appears on Polish TV
A couple of weeks ago a Polish TV crew interviewed our very own Marcin Wojcieshowski and he made an appearance on the TVN show "Uwaga: Zawodocy".
You can view the programme by following this link.
Marcin makes his appearance 6:44 from the end of the clip. Of course everything is in Polish, but luckily the words "Skype", "Email" and "Steve Jobs" are the same in Polish as they are in English. Bonus points for Marcin for the shameless plugs of a couple of our software products and for displaying the Union flag in his home office.
The TV show Uwaga: Zawodowcy translates as "Warning: Professionals" is a magazine show which focusses on sensational news stories. I think this episode was about technologists working in Poland and the impact of proposed anti-piracy legislation. Marcin was contacted by a University friend who knows someone who works on the show. The show originaly aired on the 10th of February but is still available online.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Shareholders in Canadian patent licensing company Mosaid Technologies MSD.TO have approved its sale to private equity firm Sterling Partners, the Ottawa-based company said on Monday.
U.S.-based Sterling agreed to pay C$590 million ($569 million) for Mosaid. The C$46 a share offer topped a C$42 bid from rival licensing firm Wi-Lan.
Mosaid also said it had satisfied certain regulatory approvals and expected final approval and closing of the deal this week.
Mosaid shares were little changed at C$45.91 at midday on Monday, having risen 54 percent since the start of the year.
