iPad Mini Unveiled But Green Bean Buddy Shares It's "Pricy"
Apple revealed its latest iPad tablet last October 23, 2012. However, compared with other two top computer tablets, technology news website Green Bean Buddy shared that it's much pricier.
New York (PRWEB) October 25, 2012
Technology giant Apple has revealed its new iPad Mini yesterday, October 23, 2012. In an event in California, foxnews.com said that the company debuted the latest version of its iPad. However, GreenBeanBuddy commented that the mini tablet is too "pricy".
Based on the foxnews report, iPad mini will also run all the software designed for its bigger predecessors. So basically, it is smaller but just as powerful as the full-sized versions. But with its features of 7.9-inch touch screen, 10-hour battery life, 308g weight and 7.2 mm thinness, it is easier to carry around.
Nonetheless, compared with Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Google Nexus, iPad mini is of higher price. According to a separate report from techradar.com, its wi-fi version price starts at £269 or $329. On the other hand, its cellular version cost begins with £369, which is roughly $590.
Here's an excerpt from the post Apple Reveals iPad Mini by GreenBeanBuddy.com.
"The highly-anticipated iPad mini was finally revealed. In an Apple event in California, the new device was launched to the delight of Apple fans. And with its soon entry to the market, the competition among computer tablets is expected to get heated.
Featuring a smaller touch screen at 7.9 inch, the new version of iPad fits right into its user's palm. It is lighter as well, weighing only at 308g. And compared with other tablets, its battery life could last for 10 hours. It got a resolution of 1,024 x 768 and thinness of 7.2 mm. In other words, it presents a more powerful and portable tablet computer."
According to technology news website GreenBeanBuddy.com, Apple did it again with its iPad mini. It said that it introduced another great device that syncs power and portability. However, it also asserted that it's too pricy than its competitors. And that, as it commented, could threaten Apple's dominance of the tablet market.

A difficult month...
Regretably, a family illness has resulted in Chris necessarily taking his eye off the photographic ball over the past week or three, so there are no new images to announce this month.
More positively though: Delivery of ordered images is unaffected by this situation.
Museum Pieces:
The re-launch of the Museum Pieces collection is still on schedule for the end of the year.

Bandit Lites is pleased to announce that, in the continuing move toward going GRN, Bandit has just added the new Clay Paky Mirage LED Curtain to the inventory. Mirage is an innovative semi-transparent LED display with video technology, that may be used indoor or outdoor. It is not built physically as a solid barrier, but allows you to see what is behind it and allows light beams to pass through it in both directions. It is a see-through display, with a structure consisting of thin horizontal bars alternated with gaps which give it an approximately 50% transparency ratio. Thanks to its specifications and ease of handling and use, the MIRAGE display is suitable for a great variety of applications including small and large events, live shows and in TV studios
The curtain features full color SMD LED's on a 20-mil pitch, with brightness of 2,350 NITs. The mirage travels in individual panels that allow you to quickly create an almost limitless number of shapes, via the worlds strongest and fastest quick lock system. Locks are utilized vertically as well as horizontally to create a seamless wall of light. The spine created by the power system and the frame in the rear is the smallest in the industry, giving you the most transparent curtain available. There is zero wiring visible from the front, thus completing the cleanest video wall you will find.
Control of the Mirage can be achieved through all of the traditional media servers that are in stock at Bandit, as well as through many other laptop-based ideas that deliver a brilliant solution without a host of sophisticated electronics involved. Bandit staff is trained on the new curtain and are ready to add it to the arsenal.
The Mirage wall is the strongest, brightest, fastest, highest quality and most transparent LED curtain you can rent. Bandit is excited about this new addition to the GRN thought process at Bandit and looks forward to serving you with your LED curtain needs as part of the total Bandit GRN Solution!

The sunsets can be truly spectacular and the images shown were taken by the owner from the villa and the pool when in residence.

How to Handle Child Custody Decisions in your Divorce
A divorce is always difficult on everyone involved, but when children are part of the situation, it can be even more devastating. Thinking about the pain that a divorce will cause their children could be part of the reason many marriages last much longer than they should. There are ways to make gaining custody of your children easier.
The most important aspect of any child custody battle is to keep the children's best interest foremost in your mind. It is understandable that you want to hurt your spouse, but fighting with him/her will only cause your children more pain. Is that something you really want to do? While you are trying to win custody of your children, remember that anything they hear you say negative about their other parent will cause pain. Fight your battle in court and not in front of the kids.
If you want full custody of your children, you will need proof of any accusations you make against your spouse. Your word will not be enough for the courts to rule in your favor. Keep any communications between you and your spouse and make notes about any incidents that occur. In some cases, older children may be asked which parent they want to live with, but even then, the judge may rule differently.
It is best for everyone involved if you and your spouse can design an agreeable settlement between yourselves instead of fighting in court. Not only will working together get your divorce finalized faster, you will be staying friendly with your spouse which will make your children happier and more at ease. Also, if you plan your own custody arrangements, you can take into account any special needs your family may have instead of being told what nights your child will visit their other parent by the court system.
Remember that unlike divorces where no children are present, you will have to see and interact with your ex for the rest of your life. He/she will always be part of your child's life and yours. While you may not have to see him/her often, there will be times when you will and you need to be able to be in the same room with them without conflict. Again, this is what is best for your children and that is ultimately always a parent's top goal – what is best for the children.
If you are currently involved in a divorce and require legal guidance, before you spend thousands of dollars in legal fees, check out our ebook "How to Win Child Custody." This ebook explains the details of child custody including the information you need to know before your divorce begins and how to keep the children the most important things you think about as you go through the process.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions in relation to massage. There is not one right answer for everyone. You will need to decide what is best for you based on several factors including your goals, time constraints and of course budget.
American Chiropractic suggests different frequencies for your massages based on your desired outcome: Massage for general relaxation and health can generally be obtained through once or twice a month treatments. This is a valid option for those under light to moderate stress levels.
Those seeking massage for stress management would benefit from more regular treatment sessions. People who experience high-stress work or life situations should pursue weekly or bi-weekly treatments whenever possible.
Massage for pain reduction and management is the most variable. You will really need to listen to your body and how it responds to different time spans between treatments. Initially, you will need frequent treatments – even up to three times a week. As the pain comes more under control, you and your therapist can talk about lessening the frequency until you reach a schedule that you can maintain and keeps the pain at bay. Usually this is once every week or two.
Ultimately you didn't develop the problem that you are seeking relief from in only an hour so it only makes sense that it is going to take strategic, regular care to control it. Each massage can build on the progress of the last but only if you don't let too much time elapse between sessions. If you do, the muscles revert back to their original state and you will need to start over with the next massage.
That is one reason that Garrow Family Chiropractic established the Massage Club of Wall. It provides the most affordable rates around so that as many people can experience the benefits of regular care as possible. Knowing that you have a set number of massages a month also helps those of us that would put off taking care of ourselves.
So as I said at the beginning, there is no one correct answer for everyone but a regular massage schedule based on your needs will definitely provide you with many benefits.

HAHA. You know what I used the most (and still do with the triplets...yes, they haven't quite gotten down the notion of BLOWING their noses...don't judge me. lol), Q tips! I have found they are amazing with the boogers in the kids' noses! My kids hate them with a passion never displayed before in toddlers, but hey! They get the job done. :)

From Ashley W:
Haha Love this blog! Dusty makes fun of me b/c I love to suck boogers! Poor Grant has gotten so used to it, I think he likes it now. He walks around the house with his booger sucker saying "boogers". I made a game of it to get him excited about it, "Ready? 1..2..3..BOOGER!" If you end up making an appt, just be ready for them to say it's only teething, or only a cold... They never do anything for it. I used to hate waiting for the appt and all that to just hear there's nothing they can do for him. And Mother's intuition is real, you have it even if you think you dont. You just don't give yourself enough credit.

Fairy Dresses for Little Girls
Fairy Dresses for Little Girls
Whether for costume and dress up play or a special occasion, little girls love fairy dresses. Imagination takes flight when your little daughter or granddaughter is gowned in ribbons and tulle with sparkling accents. A wreath of pretty flowers or a sparkling fairy princess crown can sit on her head. Fairy wings and a fairy wand complete the look.
Fairy dresses can be made easily at home or purchased in any color of the rainbow. Even people with no sewing skills can manage to create a beautiful fantasy costume for their little girl.
Fairy Dress Top and Skirt
When it comes to fairies, light and airy says it all. Purchase any pretty dress with short sleeves or straps, or use a leotard or bodysuit to get the look you want. For fairy costumes on the fly, a plain colored t-shirt can be used in pink, pale blue or yellow. It is easy to decorate a plain shirt to make it more special and magical.
Decorate a Plain Top to Make a Fairy Dress
Lay the t-shirt or tank top out flat on a table and get an assortment of sparkly fabric paints, plastic gems, sequins and trims ready. You can use any type you like for the fairy look you desire: pretty flower fairy style or sparkling magical style.
Draw swirls, dots and flower shapes around the neckline and sleeves of the top with the fabric paint. Use the fabric paint as glue to attach fake gems, ribbon roses and other accents. Let it dry completely before using.
How to Make a Fairy Dress Tulle Skirt
Purchase long lengths of tulle fabric in pretty colors. You can use just one color, or use layers or multiple colors. Instead of tulle, try netting, lace or shiny fabrics. With tulle, you will not have to sew to hem the fabric as it will not unravel.
To make a quick tulle fairy skirt, simply run a ribbon through the top of a long length of the fabric with a yarn needle. Gather it all together and tie the ribbon around the girl's waist for an instant fairy skirt. For fabric skirts, sew the hem of the fabric and make a pocket at the waistband to slip a ribbon or piece of elastic through.
For fairy skirts, think short and puffy. Tutus are a good shape for fairy dresses, though more elegant longer skirts can give your little girl a fairy princess dress.
The fabric you chose for the skirt can be decorated as the top was with plastic gems, sequins, fabric glue, ribbon roses and other accents.
How to Make Fairy Wings
Fairy Wings
Quick Fairy Wands and Headpieces
With the fairy dress just right, and pretty wings on her back, your little fairy may still feel incomplete without a magical fairy wand and a headpiece. These are just a few ideas to make wands and headpieces. Your creativity can lead you the rest of the way.
How to Make a Fairy Wand
Start with a foot-long wooden dowel painted white or a pastel shade to match the fairy dress. With some craft glue, stick a Styrofoam ball at the top of the dowel. Cover this ball in glitter, sequins,, plastic gems or small silk flowers. Tie ribbons in bows at the base of the Styrofoam ball and spiral them down the length of the dowel to let streamers trail from the end.
How to Make a Fairy Costume Headpiece
Start a fairy dress headpiece with a basic cloth or plastic headband, preferably one of the wider cloth ones. Glue sparkly gems or flowers to the headband, and tie on trailing ribbons or lace at each end for a fluttery, magical feel. A row of silk flowers with ribbons sticking out the sides and ends can make a crown for a lovely flower fairy princess as well.

Jack Kyle Brings Art Exhibits That Are Hits to Miss.
Jackson, Miss.
With a wink and a smile, Jack Kyle, director of the Mississippi Commission for International Cultural Exchange, shared a fantasy of his about a lunch that German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder had with President Bush: "I'm sure he said to the president at the end of the meal, 'I'm flying down to the great state of Mississippi now to inaugurate a wonderful art exhibit.'"

Important exercises for relaxing the eyes and improving the vision
The longer you sit in front of the computer, the more exhaustedyour eyes will be. eyestar.ca provides the best help for your vision.The consequences are usually manifested through headache, fatigue, and even occasionally blurred vision. Eyes need occasional respite from the stresses. The best way is to do exercises.
Many problems and diseases associated with vision are due to problems with the eye muscles. One of the symptoms is slow changing of focus, e.g. when you first look at the screen, and then view direct to another distant object. If everything goes slow, then it is a sign that your eyesight is weakening. The second common problem is the pressure of the eyes. Sometimes seeing in your screen dries the eyes and therefore they become irritated, and in extreme situations can come to a duplication of vision or changes in visual perception of things. All this can lead to serious vision problems and sometimes to vision loss. To prevent all of this to happen, apply these simple exercises that will strengthen your eyes.
Exercise #1
Conveniently miscible. Cover your eyes with your hands, but do not press the eyeballs. Try to relax and watch the hands for 30 seconds. This should be performed in a quiet room. Breathe deeply when doing this exercise.
Exercise #2
Sitting in the same position try looking for 5 seconds in the same spot, then relax and return to the original position. Repeat this for 5 times.
Exercise #3
Point your eyes to the left and stay like that for 5 seconds and then return it to the original position. Then direct the gaze to the right and after 5 seconds return to the original position. Repeat this for 5 times.
Exercise #4
Close your eyes the strongest you can and hold them closed for 5 seconds, then relax. Open your eyes as widely as you can and hold for 5 seconds, then relax. Repeat it 5 times.
Exercise #5
Rotate your eyes by doing 5 circles to the left, then relax. Repeat the same to the right side, and relax your eyes again.
Exercise #6
Direct the eyes to the top of the nose. Keep your eyes there for 3 seconds and return them to their original position. Repeat 5 times.
Exercise #7
Find an item that is close to you, for example, the Enter key on the keyboard. Focus your view on this button for 2 seconds, then abruptly divert the focus of sight to another button for 2 seconds. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
Exercise #8
After doing these exercises take a little time to rest your eyes. Also it is good to occasionally wash your face with cold water. Occasional massage of the eyelids and area around the eyes also contributes to better vision. Get plenty of vitamin A which is essential for healthy eyes. Finally, strive to get enough sleep.

Due to his big size the doctor decided I should be induced early. One dr said 37 weeks but the next dr I saw said to wait. I had planned to have a natural midwife led birth. So at 39 weeks and 3 days ( a whole 4 days early) I went to hospital to be induced.
I was 3 cm dilated on arrival and they broke my waters at 10 am. Labour didn't start itself so I was given drugs to bring on contractions. After an hour I decided on an epidural. That helped a bit. About 5 hours later I was fully dilated and ready to push. Brody was posterior. My first was posterior and I delivered him with the help of a vacuum so I wasn't too worried. The midwife figured he would turn front to back the way it is meant to be. After an hour and a half of pushing they could finally see his head. But it was now side ways which is not a good position at all. The pain became unbearable despite the epidural and the doctor was called. Since I had already given birth vaginally once before they decided on a forceps delivery in theatre and if that didn't look possible then an emergency c section.
They prepped me for theatre. Promised me my own room after (a sign it was going to be bad) and took me in. They put my legs up in stirrups and they were pushed up so high.They put up a sheet so i couldnt see anything. I was told that's not normal for a forceps delivery but incase of the need of a c section.then the dr started with the forceps to turn him to a position that would be easier for him to get out. All this time I had to be pushing my hardest to get him out. So they managed to get his head out but the cord was dangerously tight around his neck. They had to get him out immediately as they couldn't move the cord or cut it. It was too late at this point for a c section. He just had to come out. So they tried to pull him out and his shoulders got stuck. This caused him to pull his head back into me. So then it got desperate and they had to get him out no matter what. So I was cut, forceps were used, my legs were pushed back to my head, and a midwife jumped up trying to push my stomach from the top. She wasn't strong enough so a man had to jump on and do it. In the meantime his heart rate was dropping and dropping. Finally they got him out and he wasn't breathing. I thought nothing of it as babies come out not crying. the dr had put him on my chest (the sheet got pulled down by the man jumping on my stomach) so I touched him with my finger. At the time I didn't know the dr had just thrown him up there to attend to me and so they could grab him. I lost a lot of blood and painted the four walls and everyone in the theatre with blood.They whisked him to the resuscitation table and worked on him for 4 mins before his heart started properly. the doctors started the process of sewing me up which took a very long time. The CPR broke 5 ribs. His arms weren't moving when they got him breathing so he was whisked away with DH to the special care nursery. They had to check his shoulders were back in place as they had probably dislocated and they discovered that his collar bone was also broken. He was tested for infections and oxygen levels. The shock caused him to lose the reflex to grasp fingers and the reflex to suck, slowly these came back over the next few days.
I didn't get to meet him until he was 8 hours old. He was wheeled to my room so I could see him. He had a drip and nasal tube to his tummy to feed. He was in special care for 2 days. He had bruising to his eye, ear and forehead. Red rims around his eyes from the pressure of the delivery.I had a third degree tear and lots of bruising internally and externally. A bruised coccyx and grazes on my buttocks from the delivery.
I was finally able to breastfeed him after 3 days, but he was in pain and I was in pain and. I made a tough decision to bottle feed. It was more important for us both to heal that struggle feeding.
you would think that would be enough for one person to handle, but the story continues.
I was discharged with Brody after 6 days. He healed well and got the all clear at a 3 week check up. After 3 weeks of only holding him to feed him, sponge baths and not leaving the house because he couldn't go in the car seat we were told we could treat him as a normal baby!
From the day I was discharged I was very sick with no appetite and diarrhea. I went to the doctors numerous time over the next few weeks with no answers. Maybe it was IBS, maybe it was injuries from the birth. After 5 weeks I could barely function. I was in the toilet every half an hour. I was exhausted. my husband took me to emergency. I was immediately put on a drip and treated for a super bug called Clostridium Difficile. I spent 6 days in hospital. Pretty much in quarantine on a drip for fluids and antibiotics to kill the bug. going to the toilet 30 times a day is exhausting. Add to that the pain of a third degree tear. NOT FUN. I refused visitors. MY mum and my husband looked after Brody and our 5 year old son. I saw my baby twice in six days. I cried every day. Surely I had gone through enough.Going home was amazing, but I was still very week so my mum stayed and my husband took more time off work.
Things started to look up. I was on the mend. Then on my husbands birthday the diarrhea returned. You can have several relapses of C diff before you are "cured". Pretty much it is when you have NO good bacteria in your intestinal tract and only these evil bad ones. I went to the after hours GP and knew which antibiotics to get so I got on top of it.
I had a sore leg for a couple of weeks but a few days after my relapse I woke in the night with pins and needles and could hardly work. I knew something was wrong. I went straight to emergency. A few scans later it was discovered I had two blood clots in my leg. I was given clexane injections to administer myself and had to go back to the hospital in another week to check on it. The clots were still there but smaller so I was on the mend. It was after that emergency visit that I really started to lose it. I swore and threw things and broke down in front of my parents and my inlaws. not something I would do as I usually keep my emotions to myself.
a couple of weeks after that I had trouble breathing and my father took me to emergency. I swore I had a clot in my lung. When I got to hospital they said I was having a panic attack and that I had chest pain because I had actually pulled a muscle. Phew.
so really I had been through enough at that point. A couple of weeks later though, I was thinking how great it was to be on the mend. I woke up at 4am not able to get comfy. My back just felt out. Not surprising after the beating my body had recently taken. But the pain got worse and spread to my chest. I got up to feed my baby at 5am but had to get the hubby up to finish it. Whilst he fed the baby I sat on the lounge in pain. My chest was killing me. He said he would call his parents and then take me to hospital when they got here. I was in so much pain I took matters into my own hands and called an ambulance. They took me to hospital and I was eventually diagnosed with gall stones and a gall bladder infection. They would operate that night. At 9pm I was taken to theatre. I was wheeled into theatre and the anaesthetist asked for my arm to give me the drugs to put me to sleep and I freaked out. Refused to give him my arm. Refused the surgery. I was taken back to my room and discharged the next day. I tried a low fat diet for awhile but had another attack and ended up back in hospital. So I decided to have it out. I was brave and much better prepared and have now had the gall bladder out. I feel like a new person.
So that is where the horror story ends. I am now back on track. Not 100% healthy as I still have some tummy issues but way better than I was. I now have post-natal depression but that's not surprising really. My baby boy is adorable. He is happy and healthy and the most beautiful boy and our family is now complete.

That sounds incredibly traumatic! I'm so sorry you had such a horrendous experience but do glad you and Brody are healing.
Was he a big baby after all, that is, was the induction necessary in the end?

He was 9lb13 54 cms long. My fundal height was 45cms the day I delivered. I am not a big person so it was hard carrying such a load. I don't think I should've been allowed to get so big

Thankyou for sharing your story it is absolutely horrific, but nonetheless imformative.
I am glad things are much better for you now.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --What if you could go to bed and wake up in a different city. It's not magic, it's a new startup called Cabin, that's building what it calls "hotels on wheels." Check out a full 360 degree photo tour of the bus at the end of the story.
ABC7 News got a private tour with the company's founders.
Tom Currier showed off the new downstairs lounge in a boutique hotel that sleeps 23 guests. "We start off with a memory foam bed that's super comfy, pressed sheets, same sheets that the Ritz Carlton actually uses."
But this hotel offers something the Ritz Carlton can't, "It's an experience akin to teleportation -- where you basically fall asleep and then wake up somewhere new," Currier said.
Call it a, "hotel on wheels" or a sleeper car without the train tracks. They call it Cabin.
It's a new kind of bus inspired by an old kind of travel on railroads and ocean liners.
"These things were hotels that moved," Currier told ABC7 News. "It was a multi-day trip, the service was amazing and you would book a cabin."
Of course, these cabins are a bit smaller. Getting a good night's sleep on the road requires more than just a fancy new bus. It requires a whole new way of thinking about driving.
Cabin trains drivers with an iPad app that gives better grades for a smoother ride, and on their inaugural route between San Francisco and Santa Monica they intentionally slow the trip down for a smoother ride.
That means after a cabin attendant checks you in and serves you sleepytime tea at 10 p.m. you can brush your teeth with running water, plug in your phone, and prepare for eight full hours of slumber.
Click here for more information on Cabin and how to book a trip.

If you have been accepted to Juilliard, congratulations! Having trouble deciding where to spend the next four years of your life? Here are a few of the reasons why Juilliard is the right place for me.
1. Location
Life never stops here on the upper west side. And if you can't find enough talent here at Juilliard, there are world class performers year-round at Lincoln Center, right outside our door.
2. Community
All first year college students are required to live in the dorms their freshman year. Since it is such a small program, everybody knows everybody here at Juilliard. This creates a special type of atmosphere at school. For example, a few weeks ago, there was an "open mic" type of night in the lounge, where everyone showcased their art, as well as their hidden talents. It was a blast. Take a look.
3. New York Magic
You never know what might happen to you in New York. Last week, I was coming back from an outreach performance in Queens when we stumbled upon a large group of people singing across the tracks from us in the subway. Nina had her ukulele with her and so we sang an impromptu call and response version of "Build Me Up Buttercup" with them. It was one of those unplanned, magical moments where complete strangers came together through music.
4. Personal Attention
Other dance schools have very large classes. At Juilliard, a dance class is only 24-26 people. In my eyes, the type of personal attention given here at Juilliard in unmatched by any other dance program.
Check out a video I made last year that captures the essence of what Juilliard is for me.
Best of luck, I hope to see you here next year!

Lizz Harrison – Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergencies Advisor
Snapshot date 13, June, 2012
Author: Lizz Harrison
Job title: Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergencies Advisor
Organisation: Y Care International
Location: London (inc. travel)
Organisation Description:
Y Care International works in partnership with YMCAs and other partners across the developing world to respond to the needs of the most disadvantaged young people. Projects are implemented under the five thematic areas: livelihoods; health and wellbeing; addressing a culture of violence; youth justice; and disaster risk reduction and humanitarian response.
Job Description:
I work within the International Programmes Department at Y Care International we support our partners across the world to carry out needs assessments, design projects, seek funding, implement the projects, monitor and evaluate them, and measure their impact. My work involves supporting the partners that are working on projects which involve disaster risk reduction, and advising the department on ensuring all projects are considered for disaster risks. I also liaise with our partners when a disaster happens and we need to launch an appeal, raise money and carry out emergency relief projects. I travel often to the countries where we work which I love as it is a great way of seeing how the work we do is really impacting the young people that we are supporting.
How long have you worked in your current job?
6 months
Route to current job:
- Project Coordinator - Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)
- Office Management Coordinator - UNICEF UK
- Community Support Volunteer - Terrence Higgins Trust
- Funraising and Communications Intern - Medecins du Monde UK
Previous jobs:
I worked for the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) for 2 years based in Bangkok as a Project Coordinator which included coordinating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) projects across Asia. ADPC is non-profit organisation working for safer communities and sustainable development through disaster risk reduction programmes and projects in Asia and the Pacific. See www.adpc.net.
I worked for UNICEF UK for 2 years as Office Management Assistant and then Coordinator which included establishing a monitoring system for the carbon emissions of the organisation and the development of an environmental policy; a part of a wider UN recognition of the effects of climate change.
Voluntary experience:
Before moving to Thailand for my Project Coordinator role, I volunteered for an evening a week as a Community Support Volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust, an organisation working with vulnerable adults living with HIV in the UK.
After University I did an internship with Medecins du Monde UK (MdM UK) in London for 3 months while also working part time to cover costs. MdM UK is a medical NGO working to provide healthcare to vulnerable populations through medical volunteers.
During my gap year before University I volunteered in Costa Rica for 3 months with the expedition and volunteer organisation Raleigh International. All of these volunteering experiences increased my understanding of, my contact with, and my commitment to, working in the sector. They also gave me experiences to talk about in interviews and improved my skills, competence and confidence in the work I went on to do.
Education and Training:
I completed a Masters in Disasters, Adaptation and Development from King's College London. This included research for my thesis in Ahmedabad, India on the long-term impact on affected urban households of the Gujarat earthquake in 2001. I was massively supported in this by the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI) who I met at a Disaster Risk Reduction Conference held by ProVention Consortium, which I was invited to as a Masters student.
Before this I completed a degree in International Development Studies and Geography from Swansea University which was a great basis for understanding the issues and concepts surrounding development and helped me to put my learning on the impact of disasters into context.
As part of my development at Y Care International I also attended a fantastic training course run by RedR and Austrian Red Cross on Needs Assessment in Emergencies which was really useful and interesting.
Best bits:
The best bits of my job are travelling to the villages, communities and partners that are implementing the projects that we support and seeing first hand the work that we are supporting and the difference it makes to the young people's lives. The grassroots level is where the impacts from disasters can be the most devastating and where, with support, the changes are happening for preparedness so it's good to see the changes here. For example, it's great to hear from a 5 year old in Laos that their parents store rice and other food high up in their house in case of flood since they told them what they learnt about floods at school!
Worst bits:
I think my biggest frustration is that there are so many NGOs and organisations across the world working towards the same goal but carrying out programmes and projects very independently. It would be good to see more collaboration between NGOs and organisations; this is something which is complicated and I think is slowly improving. Applying for funding can also be very frustrating as it is very competitive and time consuming.
Advice for people looking for similar job:
Volunteering is really important in this field; get as much experience as possible. If you can afford to do an internship with an NGO during your school or University holidays then do it (even if only part-time in addition to a paying job, which is what I did). If not, then get your 'foot in the door' by taking a job which requires the skills you do have; again like I did with my administrative skills at UNICEF.
I also think that often you hear about opportunities and meet people who have good advice at conferences, forums and open discussions related to the subject that you're interested in. See what's on in your area and talk to people once you're there – 'networking' is a good way of getting information.
Proving that you can travel, volunteer, or even live and work in developing countries is useful for this line of work too. I certainly think my gap year and travels have increased my confidence, ability to converse with people from different backgrounds, cultures and languages, and understanding of issues such as poverty, which all help in my job today.
Will you continue to do similar work in this sector in the future?
Definitely. I have always wanted to work in the humanitarian sector and I believe I always will. Since completing my Masters, I have focused on working on disaster risk reduction and I think this is being recognised as more and more important with the uncertainty of how climate change might affect the most vulnerable people across the world.

چکیده انگلیسی
By extending the system's state variables, a novel predictive functional controller has been developed. The structure of this controller is similar to that of classical proportional integral (PI) optimal controller and includes a control block that can perform a feed-forward control of future P-step set points. It considers both the state variables and the output errors in its cost function, which results in enhanced control performance compared with traditional state space predictive functional control (TSSPFC) methods that consider only the predictive output errors. The predictive functional controller (PFC) has been compared with TSSPFC in terms of tracking ability, disturbance rejection, and also based on its application to heavy oil coking equipment. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the controller.
مقدمه انگلیسی
The optimal control of the synthesis of petrochemicals and other related processes is of considerable significance because good control results markedly improve the dynamic performance and also enhance economic benefits. Therefore, predictive functional control (PFC)[ 1-31 has gained tremendous success in industrial applications. It is categorized under model predictive control (MPC)[4,5] and was first presented by Richalet and Kuntze. The control law is based on the prediction obtained from the model of the processes. Control action is calculated by minimizing the difference between the predicted process output and the reference signal over a certain time horizon. It has been proved that PFC exhibits remarkable robustness despite the model mismatch and uncontrolled dynamics[6- 111. While retaining the good features of MPC, PFC makes the control input more regular, which considerably reduces the control- calculating burden, and therefore it is highly applicable to those processes that need fast control. Till now, several research studies have been performed on PFC theory, and studies with regard to its application have made the PFC theory more significant. However, by selecting the state space model, the system's inner states can be easily described and information of these states such as state feedback and state constraints can be effectively used when the controllers are designed[ 11-13]. If the states represent some physical variables, prediction of their future changes can also give important information regarding the processes. But the state space PFC algorithms that have been presented till now have not made full use of these merits[l,l I]. Based on the above-mentioned merits of statespace design, a novel predictive functional control method has been developed. The structure of this controller is similar to that of proportional integral (PI) optimal regulator [ 141 and has P -step setpoint feedforward control. Simulation comparisons and application study show that this method has tremendous applications in chemical engineering.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
A novel predictive functional control method (QPISPFC) has been presented in this article paper. As seen from the comparisons with TSSPFC, QPISPFC controller exhibits an improved regulatory capacity for both reference input tracking and load disturbance rejection. Application to the coking of residues oils process equipment also displays good control performance.

Hairspray is coming back! But this time to our small screens in a one night only TV musical spectacular!
Back in January, a live TV version of the classic musical Grease graced our screens and was performed live for TV in America, and over in the UK on ITV the following day.
The live musical spectacle was filmed totally live on sound stages in LA and featured Julanne Hough as Sandy and Les Mis's Aaron Tveit as Danny Zuko alongside cameos from Jessie J, Boyz II Men and the original Frenchie and Doody!
It was recently announced that Hairspray Live will be performed in the same way on the 3rd December and we're SO happy with that for an early Christmas present!
To get you in the mood, here's a rundown of the A-Listers that have been cast so far and alongside the stars who played their characters the last time Hairspray hit the screens in 2007 for the smash hit film...

Today is the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, a holiday that began in 1970 as a response to a massive 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, assembled a national staff of 85 people, to promote these events around the United States. While at first, Earth Day was an unofficial holiday only celebrated in the U.S., within twenty years, this day of environmental appreciation spread to 141 countries around the world.
Today, Earth Day is a more important holiday than ever before, as we face the devastating effects of climate change. With each passing month, the global climate is heating up, with this past winter being the warmest since temperature records were kept. The time for taking action to preserve our environment and save humanity is right now, and if the opinion of a vast majority of scientists is any indication, we are running out of time.
While this issue is very serious, requiring massive policy changes and probably a new economic structure, let's focus on more light-hearted snapshots of how people are celebrating Earth Day around New York City:

The girls have moved!
This past weekend, the girls moved to a new home for personal reasons. We are so happy to share with you, their new location and family. They live not too far from our house here in Ohio. They look so happy in the shade on their new land. THanks, for giving them a great new place to live, Truli. We will surely miss them.

Hi Jamie,ReplyDelete
I love your blog! I also like your coop pictured above and yes, it is so important to have the coop in the right location where the chickens have both sun and shade at the same time. It's so nice to see people like you care so much about animals and to make it a priority that the animals are well looked after and happy.
By the way, I have never seen an x-ray of a chicken before, never mind with two eggs stuck as you posted in an earlier blog. Very interesting! Glad to see she's all better now.
Have a nice day and keep up the good work on your blog.
Hi Jamie,ReplyDelete
Sorry you had to give the girls away, I bet you will miss them and there eggs. There new home looks great though.
Hello there Jamie..!ReplyDelete
I think your chickens are loving their new place..
I really love their new home too...
I bet they're liking it as well..
If youre missing them so much now, you can go visit them anytime you want..
I love your blogs and keep on posting, ok? :)
This place looks great that's why the chicken is happy. It's like a big playground for them.ReplyDelete
very nice looking home.ReplyDelete

AIR WISCONSIN AIRLINES CORP. v. HOEPER
Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation
William L. Hoeper
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) requires airlines and their employees to report to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) any and all potential security threats to the Nation's air transportation system. To encourage such reports, the ATSA provides a broad grant of immunity from suit, shielding airlines and their employees from all liability, including liability for state-law defamation. 49 U.S.C. § 44941. The only exception to this immunity is for reports made "with actual knowledge that the disclosure was false, inaccurate, or misleading" or "with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity of that disclosure." Id. § 44941(b).Consideration Limited:
GRANTED LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: WHETHER ATSA IMMUNITY MAY BE DENIED WITHOUT A DETERMINATION THAT THE AIR CARRIER'S DISCLOSURE WAS MATERIALLY FALSE.Question Presented:
1. Whether a court can deny ATSA immunity without deciding whether the airline's report was true. 2. Whether the First Amendment requires a reviewing court in a defamation case to make an independent examination of the record before affirming that a plaintiff met its burden of proving a statement was false.

The Brains Electromagnetic Field
At rest, the neuronal membrane forms a dipole in which the inside of the membrane is negatively (about -65 mV) charged in relation to the outside of the membrane. This charge difference is maintained by the action of ion pumps that pump cations (principally sodium and calcium) out of the neuron. Brain neurons are densely packed, with about 104 neurons/mm2 so the fields of adjacent neurons will not be discrete but form a complex overlapping field made up of the superposition of the fields of millions of neurons in the vicinity. The electrical field at any point in the brain will be a superposition of the induced fields from all of the neurons in the vicinity and will depend on the geometry and the dielectric properties of neurons and tissue. The combined activity of all the neurons in the brain generates a complex electromagnetic field whose strength can be estimated from theoretical principles and measured during EEG or MEG, and is about 20-250 V/m [34].
When any neuron receives a signal from upstream neurons, synaptic transmitters stimulate ion pumps that cause the membrane to become more or less negatively polarized, depending on the type of signal received. If the membrane charge falls below about -40 mV then the neuron "fires" and a chain of depolarizations is triggered that travels along the neuron and stimulates release of neurotransmitters. Conventional neurobiology has focused on the chemical signal that is transmitted from one neuron to another. There is absolutely no doubt at all that most of the information processing performed by the brain is due to this type of signaling. However, the massive membrane depolarization will also generate an electromagnetic field perturbation that, traveling at the speed of light, will influence the probability of firing of adjacent neurons. Vigmond [44] modeled the electrical activity of pyramidal cells and demonstrated that neuron firing induced a peak of intracellular potential in receiver cells that ranged from a few microvolts to 0.8 mV, decaying with approximately the inverse of distance between the cells. For neurons that are arranged randomly, their induced fields will tend to sum to zero; but the laminar organization of structures such as the neocortex and hippocampus, with parallel arrays of neurons, will tend to amplify local fields. Using the model, a peak intracellular voltage of 2600 V/m (and thereby above the thermal noise level in the membrane) will be induced in receiving cells if they are located within a radius of 73-77 |m from the source cell [34]. Considering only those cells in the plane of the source cell embedded in the human cerebral cortex (about 104 neurons/mm2), then approximately 200 neighboring cells will be within that field volume. The firing of a single neuron will thereby be capable of modulating the firing pattern of many neighboring neurons through field effects.

Dramatic images show engineers using drills to stop huge gas leak after hotel evacuated
The dramatic scenes were caught on camera in a series of startling pictures
Workers, wearing oxygen masks and ear defenders, drilled into the gas main as a plume of gas shot up over their heads. The dramatic scenes were caught on camera in a series of startling pictures. Emergency workers raced to make the urgent repair next to a hotel at Glasgow Airport, where guests had to be evacuated in the early hours of the morning.
Workers, wearing oxygen masks and ear defenders, drilled into the gas main as gas shot up
Around 200 guests were evacuated from the Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn Express at 2.45am and taken to a nearby Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn. St Andrews Drive at the airport was shut as emergency crews raced to stop the leak. Three fire engines and 12 gas vans were in attendance at the scene, just yards from the M8.
A spokesman for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said: "Gas engineers have traced the leak to a subterranean mains pipe and SFRS crews are standing by to assist while they work to isolate it.
Hundreds of guests were evacuated from the Discount Holidays © Holiday Inn Express at 2:45am
"Crews will continue to work with the other emergency services for the duration of the incident, which is likely to continue for some time."
The M8 was shut by Police between junction 27 and junction 29, just before morning rush hour, but reopened just before 6.30am. Glasgow Airport remained open during the incident, but passengers traveling by road were advised to leave extra time to travel. There are no reports of any casualties.

EU BIG BROTHER: Brussels unveils sinister plot to spy on YOUR holiday spending
The EU has unveiled plans to snoop on Britons' Discount Holidays © holiday spending
EU pen-pushers want access to what UK holidaymakers are splashing their hard earned money on in a move which has been slammed as a serious and possibly illegal breach of civil liberties. The draconian new laws, proposed by Jean-Claude Juncker s EU Commission, have been drawn up under the guise of combatting lone wolf terror attacks by Islamic State (ISIS) jihadis. But they could mean that millions of Britons travelling abroad for holidays on the continent are dragged into a sinister surveillance campaign, with their spending records being trawled even though they have done nothing wrong.

Critics tonight branded the plans rotten and said they amounted to the creation of a huge surveillance superstate across the continent. The controversial law change was sneaked into a lengthy anti-terror plan announced in the wake of the Paris, Brussels and Nice attacks. Under the proposals spending on pre-paid debit cards, including top up travel cards used by thousands of Britons every year, will be subject to Big Brother style ID checks.
The plans have been put forward by Jean-Claude Juncker's Commission
Spain is the most popular Discount Holidays © holiday destination for Britons on the continent
People taking out a prepaid card, which can be loaded up with money in any given currency and then used like a debit card, will now have to provide their personal details upon registration. Furthermore, the threshold for face-to-face payments that can be made on such cards at businesses like shops and restaurants is being reduced to just ' 150 ( 125) unless the holder provides their name. And in a sinister twist, finance companies will be required by law to store records of all transactions made by British tourists for at least five years, during which period they can be accessed by European governments.
All holidaymakers using pre-paid cards will also automatically be entered onto a centralised electronic database – like those used to monitor criminals – so that they can be quickly identified as account holders.

Any excuse is used by Brussels bureaucrats to monitor our every movement and our every purchase
UKIP leadership candidate Bill Etheridge
On top of that, the safety protocols currently in place to stop government agencies from abusing the system are being watered down, so that Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) will be able to access information even without there having been a suspicious transaction report . Ukip leadership candidate Bill Etheridge said the proposal "stank of the Big Brother mentality which dominates the rotten heart of the EU". He said: "Any excuse is used by Brussels bureaucrats to monitor our every movement and our every purchase, this time under the guise of 'security'."
The EU Commission insists that the new laws are necessary to combat the growing threat of Islamist terrorism across Europe, which has resulted in a number of bloody attacks.
Officials point out that the Paris attackers used prepaid cards to book and pay for their hotel rooms in the French capital so that they would not have to provide their real names to staff. And they say the crackdown will include a blanket ban on making anonymous online payments using prepaid cards which will make it more difficult for would-be jihadis to obtain bomb-making equipment. Announcing the measures, EU Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said: Member states will be able to get and share vital information about who really owns companies or trusts, who is dealing in online currencies, and who is using pre-paid cards.
However, the plans have sparked concern in Germany where one major daily paper described them as being of such an extent that they allow no pause to think about if we are turning into a surveillance society . The respected paper Frankfurter Allgemeine warned that such a massive store of data could be abused by Brussels and big business to analyse the behaviour of people and pointed out that several of the measures appear to be illegal under European rulings. Aside from British tourists, the changes will also affect millions of people across Europe who use pre-paid cards as a way of paying for things because they do not have a good enough credit score to obtain a credit card.
What countries are in the EU?1
Some member states even use pre-paid cards to hand out benefits, meaning those amongst the most vulnerable in society will be subjected to police state style checks on their spending. And Ukip's defence spokesman Mike Hookem said that the draconian plans were another example of Brussels insatiable quest for power over all aspects of its 500 million citizens daily lives which would have "no impact on combatting terrorism". He said: "The big policy decisions, like border control, are the areas where the EU could actually stop the free movement of terrorists, trafficked people and counterfeit goods and weapons.
"But instead they choose to concentrate on whether the Smith family from York purchased a bottle of wine on their holidays and burden small businesses with yet more bureaucracy."
Last year Britons made 32.2million Discount Holidays © holiday visits to the rest of the EU – up 10 per cent on the previous year – with Spain proving the most popular destination.
UK workers spent just under a billion pounds of business trips alone during that period, whilst Discount Holidays © holiday spending inside the Brussels bloc boomed by a whopping 12.4 per cent.

Men lured girl, 13, to hotel room before raping her and taking …
The pair have been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment
Ismail Ali, and Naheem Uddin, both 26, abused the child after picking her up in their car as they cruised a city centre looking for a victim. The sickening rapists behaved like animals and ripped her jeans as they yanked them from her legs. They took photographs of their victim while they abused her then threw her shoes and knickers from the bedroom window before leaving.
The pair took photos of their victim during the abuse
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was left seriously distraught after her horrific ordeal. Uddin, a married father-of-three from Bradford, was this week convicted at Bradford Crown Court of rape, attempted rape and taking indecent photographs. Ali, a waiter also from Bradford, was found guilty of two rapes and possession of the indecent photographs which Uddin sent to his phone.
The men apparently went out searching for sex
Both men were cleared of kidnap and false imprisonment. The court heard the pair were roaming the streets of their hometown looking for sex when they spotted the vulnerable youngster and persuaded her go with them to the city s Ibis Hotel with them on the evening of April 18. Jailing them for 14 years each, Judge David Hatton said: On that night each of you was out to find sexual satisfaction and you did not care how you obtained it.
You saw the girl and saw her as your opportunity. The court heard how she went willingly with them to the hotel but she did not volunteer for the vile abuse and degradation that followed". The judge added: You took it in turns to abuse her and each of you behaved like an animal."
The judge told the court that although the pair did not know the girl was 13, they did not care how old she was.
He said: You knew that she was very young, and you knew that she was much younger than you.
The young teenager was left seriously distraught by the abuse
David McGonigal, prosecuting, told the court how the child had self harmed since she was attacked and ripped the wallpaper off her bedroom walls. She felt isolated and needed strong emotional support from her family. In mitigation for Uddin, it was stated that he had three children by a previous partner and his new wife would now be deported.
Frida Hussain, for Ali, said he was brought up in care and had been working as a waiter before the offences. Following the case Detective Inspector Jon Best said: Uddin and Ali subjected their young victim to a horrific ordeal and we welcome the sentences they have been given.
We would firstly like to praise her for her courage in reporting their horrendous crimes and enabling them to be put before the courts.
We hope the lengthy sentences will give her some comfort and allow her to move forward.
Child Sexual Exploitation remains a priority for West Yorkshire Police. It is totally unacceptable and it is the responsibility of all agencies, communities and individuals to identify those responsible and help bring them to justice.

The long weekend is over and many of us are suffering with post Jubilee blues. But let's not forget the London 2012 Olympics are just around the corner! However, the topic of conversation for many Londoners is how the transport network will cope and what effect it will have on businesses and commuters.
I've been commuting in London for around seven years and I can honestly say I've never found it 'that' bad. I've learnt to sleep with my head upright, refrain from giving eye contact, tuck my bag into my side without bashing into people, and ignore people's strange habits, including: cutting nails, plucking eyebrows, snoring (with the occasional dribble), reading my newspaper over my shoulder, shouting at me to 'MOVE DOWN', and being 'tutted' at for racing to get the empty seat.
Transport for London (Tfl) assures us it has been working hard to keep delays to a minimum and that London is well suited to hosting the Games. I think it's probably inevitable that we will all be having a little moan about the delays and the media will be looking for every negative story, but we shouldn't forget how proud we are to host such a great event.
Working from home
It really doesn't surprise me there has been a negative response about civil servants being encouraged to work from home during the Olympics. Yet just a year ago Transport Minister, Norman Baker, urged commuters and businesses in general in London to think differently about how they travel during the Olympic Games. Surely this option would help businesses to work more effectively if they can reduce the time getting from A to B?
We need to remember that just because you work from home doesn't mean that you do less work. I find that on days I work from home I am far more productive and have fewer distractions. I don't go out for lunch as everything is in the fridge and I don't have to go to meetings, which also gives me more time to get things done.
It isn't always the nicest way to work, because many of us genuinely enjoy the buzz of an office environment. But these days if you have a family and the facilities to work from home, then why should employees be made to feel less worthy than those who trudge in and are an hour late because of travel delays?
Tfl published this presentation to reassure us that all will be fine…
My tips on how to cope with travel during the Olympics:
- try a different route to work
- dust off your bike and helmet and cycle instead
- stagger your journey times
- work remotely
- use video conferencing for meetings
- go on a sabbatical!
