Foreign Ministry Congratulates OPCW on Nobel Prize

- Politics news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran which paid the highest price from any chemical attacks in modern history felicitated the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on winning the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to eliminate the Syrian army's stockpiles of poison gas.
Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham in her Monday night message congratulated the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) as well as its staffs and member states on winning the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.
She stressed that Iran as a victim of chemical weapons has always sought total elimination of such weapons as well as other forms of weapons of mass destruction both in the region and the world.
"The OPCW, despite its young age has been able to achieve unique victories in the past 17 years since establishment," said Afkham, as she said the organization has 190 members.
Afkham said the organization's efforts to eliminate world chemical weapon stockpiles including those in the US and Russia has won international trust in getting rid of similar weapons in Syria.
All states party to the Chemical Weapons Convention are automatically members of the OPCW.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize to the OPCW, as The Hague-based body is in the spotlight for its mission to oversee the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons.
Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said on Friday that the OPCW was honored "for its extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons."
The OPCW was founded in 1997 to implement the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which bans the use of chemical weapons and requires their destruction.
Currently, the global spotlight is on the OPCW due to its mission to supervise the destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal and facilities, which should be accomplished by mid-2014 under the terms of a UN Security Council resolution.
Since 1997, the Hague-based body has managed to eliminate 57,000 tons of chemical arms, the majority leftovers from the Cold War now held by the United States and Russia.
The $1.25-million award will be presented in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, the prize founder. The prize went to the European Union last year.

Synopsis: A trio of Oliver's old enemies break out of prison and form an alliance.
Review: To say that this episode is loaded. Would be somewhat of an understatement.
The trio of enemies that break out of prison this week are a little bit more of a detraction than they are service to the bigger arc plot of the series. In fact Quentin Lance seems a little more concerned with China White, Cupid and Liza Warner than Ollie is. Lance feels responsible for the fact that Warner went off the straight and narrow and blames himself.
In fact. The burden of blame and responsibility is a recurring theme throughout the episode. Hence the title 'Sin Eater', which essentially means a person that takes the responsibility and burden that those responsible are not wanting to take on.
Lance feels responsible for Warner. Ollie feels responsible for having accidentally killed a police officer and pretty much everything else that has gone wrong with the city.
The big pictured of this episode sees Ollie having to split with his journalist girlfriend Susan Williams (Carly Pope). She basically has pretty comprehensive proof that Ollie is The Arrow and calls him out on it. Ollie denies it of course and is happy to let it lie. But Thea isn't prepared to take the chance on Susan leaking the information to the press. So she works with Felicity to hack into Susan's computer and discredit her to the point where she'll never work in journalism again.
Understandably Ollie is a bit ticked off with Thea's over protectiveness.
As for the trio of villains mentioned above. They are pretty much after a stash of money because they intend to take control of the city. Ultimately they are foiled by the combined forces of team Arrow and the police. And this is despite the fact that the police were after Arrow for the murder of one of their own. I found it troubling that Ollie was so easily able to talk the police down from arresting the Arrow.
There were some nice moments amid all of this. One being a nice scene between Dinah Drake and Quentin Lance. Basically Lance tells Dinah that Laurel would want her to continue the work that she started as the Canary.
The Bratva stuff this week loosely tied in with the themes of responsibility and so forth and conjured up the term Sin Eater in order to frame the overall narrative.
This was a fairly enjoyable episode. But we find ourselves wanting a little more from the series in terms of starting to get a little closer to the finale confrontation between team Arrow and Prometheus.

nothing sticks to nothing
We are excited to present a new cycle of four paintings by British artist Henry Hudson. At once pastoral, psychedelic, crime scene and psychogeography, the works will be shown at the gallery with a large-scale, custom-fitted Scagliola floor (imitation marble made of polished plaster mixed with glue and coloured pigments). The installation will create a mise-en-scène in the space, providing a scenography and stage for a series of new performances traversing pop and classical music, dance, and poetry.
Working across sculpture, painting, etching and performance, Henry Hudson is known for his radical use of plasticine as a dominant painterly medium. Originally chosen for its inexpensive, theatrical and expressive form, Hudson's use of plasticine has become a vehicle for novel experiments in painterly technique and expression. That said, nothing sticks to nothing marks a conceptual, material, and emotional break with Hudson's previous bodies of work (his 'Hogarth' scenes or 'Jungle' series), presenting large-scale works that are made using a combination of encaustic wax with his native plasticine.
The exhibition takes its title from the artist's twisted memory of "I can connect / Nothing with nothing", a line from 'The Fire Sermon', the third section of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922). Eliot's words are spoken in reference to a melancholic, doomed, introspective and fragmented human experience - it refers simultaneously to Shakespeare's King Lear, E.M. Forster's Howards End and Eliot's own Murder in the Cathedral. The snowscapes ofnothing sticks to nothing are a nod to Eliot's metropolitan psychogeography, reconfigured in contemporary alpine terms. No less heady than any of Hudson's work to date, it is clear however that these paintings demonstrate a shift in mood and atmosphere drawn from the life of the artist himself, evoking a powerful and convivial meeting point that is both self-reflective and social.
The environment created transforms the audience-as-viewer into audience-as-subject, placing us at the heart of the paintings and at the centre of the contradictory psychological states they embody. Hudson has frequently referred to his paintings as the expression of 'mental states' - psyches that are tangled and lurid. The novel use of wax with plasticine has allowed Hudson to create works that are more expressive, frantic and looser in form that his previous works. The mixture itself produces a fleshy and cellular form, juxtaposing the eerie silence of his winter landscape with a visceral kick.
In these works we are the protagonist: an unidentified figure lost in the forest, confronted by inner turmoil. It is up to us to construct our own narrative. We must find a path through the cold and perilous landscape to a rich and psychotropic headspace, all the while battling between the two.
A programme of live events will be presented in Hudson's environment. These will combine novel responses to the work and space alongside major works from the performance repertoires. The ambition is to bring together practitioners from poetry and dance, pop and classical music, to use Hudson's environment as a starting point for their own performances.

"Data is the new oil". International Data Corporation (IDC) recently published the Worldwide Semi-Annual Big Data and Analytics Spending Guide by forecasting the revenues in big data and analytics Industry. It is estimated that revenues from big data and analytics in the Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) region will reach US$14.7 billion with an increase of nearly 15% from 2017. Revenues from the commercial purchase of big data and analytics related hardware, software and services are likely to reach US$22.2 billion by 2021, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% for the time period of 2016-2021.
The adoption of big data and analytics will bring a different ball game for enterprises and government but most of them are incorporating it as an added advantage. However, only a few enterprises achieved full-scale implementation. The financial sector witnessed the highest spend for the overall forecast period (2016-2021) but other industries are also adopting big data and analytics platforms for customer acquisition, strategy planning, and resource optimization.
There are several industries which will make a colossal investment in big data and analytics by the end of 2018. Some of them include the federal government, banking, telecommunications, discrete manufacturing and professional services. These five industries will spend around US$8.3 billion on big data and analytics this year, adding to that they will be the largest spender in 2021 with a total investment of US$12.6 billion. Professional service, healthcare, and resource industries will grow at a higher pace with a five-year CAGR of 16.9%, 16.1% and 15.5% respectively.
Investments are likely to be driven by IT and business services representing more than half of big data and analytics revenues throughout the forecast period. The figures will be primarily owing to the procurement of data warehouse management tools, end-user query, reporting, analysis tools and predictive analysis software tools. The service-related spending is expected to experience the strongest growth with a five-year CAGR of 17.2% to reach US$11.1 billion by 2021.
Investment in non-relational analytical data stores, cognitive software platforms and CRM applications will showcase strong growth during the forecast period as most of the companies are interested in the expansion of big data and analytics capabilities. Big data and analytics related servers and storage is another revenue source which will reach US$4.8 billion by 2021.
In terms of company size, very large businesses will be responsible for more than 47.3% of big data and analytics spending in 2017 whereas small and medium businesses will also be a major contributor accounting to 21.2% share in overall big data and analytics spending in 2017.
China will be the biggest market in Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) for big data and analytics market with a spending of US$ 5.5 billion in 2018. In China, big data and analytics related purchases will be mainly driven by telecommunications and banking industries (14.6%) followed by professional services (11.9%) in 2018. Australia will be the second largest contributor accounting for 18.2% of the revenues followed by Indonesia (19.7%), Philippines (19%) and Thailand (18.2%).
The world is now driven by data and companies have recognized the importance of big data and analytics. Industries are integrating their businesses with big data and analytics solutions and platforms to generate insights that can be used efficiently for the business processes. Big data and analytics is a booming market where more and more companies are progressing towards higher stages of technological advancement, and it provides a great platform for the provider to deliver their solutions.

text: John R 1,565 #1 Posted August 25, 2019 Being interested in prototypes and experimentals much of my modelling involves 'limited run' kits which cause some degree of aggravation and all of my latest have ended up on the shelf of doom. However for this one I thought that I would build it 'from the box' just to get somehing finished. Fat chance! The main landing gear did not appear to fit very well so I asked a question here about it and some kind souls provided me with photos. Whilst studying them a I thought that the fin looked a lot larger than that provided with the kit so I did some digging on the internet and came up with the proverbial can of worms. I found a dimensioned three-view and used this to give me a 1/72 drawing. This seemed to indicate that the wings and stabiliser were about the right size and shape but the Anigrand fuselage was too short. One of the a/c photos showed a side view so I scaled this to 1/72 and found a good correlation with the drawing. This revealed that not only was the fuselage too short but it was also much too shallow and the fin was so far undersize that it looked rediculous. Where does one go from here? Shelf of doom? Fit the right size fin and hope it looks ok? Or get out the saw and Milliput and see what can be done?

Commuters using the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail (HSR) will be able to enjoy more seamless travel, as they can clear Customs and immigration checks for both countries at their point of departure.
The governments of Singapore and Malaysia have agreed to co- locate Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities at three locations - Singapore, Iskandar Puteri and Kuala Lumpur - so that travellers between the two countries can walk right off the train when they reach their destination.
Here is how this will work: A person taking the train out of Singapore - whether to Kuala Lumpur, Iskandar Puteri or anywhere along the way - will have his passport checked at an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) counter at the Jurong East terminus.
He will then walk a short distance to Malaysian immigration counters at the same terminus and go through passport checks before boarding the train. Malaysian Customs officials may also inspect his luggage at the terminus.
There will be co-located CIQ facilities at the Kuala Lumpur terminus in Bandar Malaysia for those getting on the train in Kuala Lumpur.
This means ICA officers will be stationed at the Kuala Lumpur terminus, just as British Customs officers are stationed in Paris and Brussels for passengers taking a direct Eurostar train to London. Details of the CIQ clearance processes were agreed upon in a memorandum of understanding between Singapore and Malaysia yesterday.
The co-located facilities will offer "swift and seamless" travel, the countries said in a joint statement.
Passengers travelling on the domestic service from, say, Putrajaya to Singapore, will have to disembark at Iskandar Puteri and clear Customs there, before continuing their journey to Singapore on the shuttle service.
Once in Jurong East, they can walk off the train and head to their next destination.

We have heard of all the advantages of working out and how great it is for the body but little is said of the skin problems they create. Exercising is good for the body but it can take a toll on your skin and create a number of challenges. Here are a number of challenges working out can create and the effective ways to manage them.
Working out in the tropics can be tedious, especially if you're light skinned. While sunscreens are supposed to come to the rescue, it is quite easy for it to be forgotten especially when it comes to outdoor exercise sessions. More so, applying them inappropriately means they do not offer the protection they should. Ideally, they should be applied 30 minutes before the commencement of a workout to prevent you from sweating off all the SP50 that should offer protection as soon as you start exercising.
This commonly comes up as a result of the accumulation of sweat and dirt during work outs. The sweat and dirt blocks the pores and invites pimples that break out on your face. What makes post-exercise acne difficult is the they are not just confined to the face, as tight and sweaty clothes trap bacteria which may spark breakouts across your chest and back. The solution to this challenge is simple and all you need to do is shower immediately after workout to wash off the dirt and sweat.
Infection Of The Skin
Whether outdoor exercise or gym exercises, you're exposed to a lot of bacteria especially at the latter where you have hundreds of sweaty bodies dripping all over the machines. Be sure to thoroughly wipe down every piece of equipment you use with antibacterial wipes. This will help reduce the chances of getting a serious infection but irritating rashes may come up. Do your best to keep equipment clean and wash your hands after you're finished grappling with the handlebars on the treadmill or pulldown machine.
Sweat Rash And Chafing
Running will allow your thighs to regularly rub against each other which may result in chafing – a reaction between sweat and friction. Workouts during heat periods may also cause sweat rash: tiny red dots popping up in areas that are prone to overheating. Rubbing vaseline in areas that are prone to chafing and sweat rash before the start of exercises and washing the tender areas gently with cool water and soap afterwards, can help fight and drive sweat away from such areas.
Athlete's Foot
This is a type of skin infection common in people that workout regularly. A fungal bacteria which causes scaly skin and a burning feeling between the toes, is responsible for Athlete's foot and it can be accompanied with warts and toenail infections. Ensure that slippers are worn during showers and dry your feet completely afterwards. Some over-the-counter antifungal creams can help battle the menace this infection creates.

Here's Jack Sanders playing a fantastic 1933 Santos Hernandez from the Russell Cleveland collection. This guitar is just a lovely example of a mid-century Spanish classical, and Jack plays Luis de Milan's 6th Pavan and Luis de Narvaez' Guardame las Vacas.

What a fat, rich sound from this great instrument!
Grand performance. Minor request, would prefer to see the entire performance, the opening sequence set apart.
Stunning, lush – thank you!
I rarely hear anyone play these in a style as I do, that is, without slurs. Nicely done Mr. Sanders.

Here's what people are saying about Artisa and Artisa products!
NB: Permissions to quote comments have been sought and approved by all those who made them (excepting those posted in the public domain areas of social media).
We'd love the chance to showcase your amazing cheeses, they are still our absolutefavourites (Ben Lomond! OMG) the best IMO! Regards Kate - organiser for annual Jazz, Wine and Vegan Cheese event - ACT via email
OH YAYAYAYAY. My mum came in and you8 gave her two butters in your launceston store for us, thank you so much. we LOVE your products.- Susie S Facebook June 2019
My partner and I visited early on a Friday morning and were greeted warmly, as if we were old friends. We were given full reign to try any cheese (and butter!). No pressure to buy anything but how could you not?! The cheese is incredible (and not just because it's vegan) and innovative, with variety (blue, smoked, ash). Thank you for your efforts in creating truly wonderful products!- Irene J - Google review August 2019
Well done Julie, it's great to see people so passionate about what they believe in. 🙌🥰🌹 Tracey H -Facebook
Hi Guys - Just tried your melting cheese on a pizza and it tasted delicious. So creamy. Melted nicely. Doesn't make me feel bad after too. Andrew F -Sydney via email
The cheeses are a godsend since I ditched dairy. Great table cheeses, their butter is really good too. - Lara F Google review September 2019
If I could also let you know how 'world-standard' your cheese is. I travel for the airlines, and so have the privilege of frequenting the US (LA and New York) amongst other destinations. Being a foodie and health-food nut, I am always trying new products whilst in health food stores and delis - made from alternative sources (since I don't do dairy). And I can honestly say, that no almond, cashew, walnut cheese bought in one of the health capitals of the world - LA, amongst other ports I visit -has 'come close' to your beautifully made Artisa cheese! A small round of cashew cheese in a Wholefood market or Mother's (in LA which I frequent) is approximately US $11 to $15, so your cheeses are most reasonably priced too! Just thought you would like to know - since you've really made something spectacular tasting, I no longer need to go looking! We just need to have you up here in Brisbane gourmet deli's and stores (The Stores, West End, James St market deli, Fortitude Valley etc.!!!!)
Please don't hesitate to reach out, as my partner (whom loves your blue cheese and has eaten way too many rounds of it!!!!) and I - are huge proponents of your sublime mastery of cashew cheese, and will always vouch for your creatively-flavoured cheeses! Keep up the good work, and don't be defeated in the market of cashew cheeses out there! Since you truly have a unique product!
Looking forward to your new upcoming creative cheese flavours and we are inspired to come down to Tassie (which we have been longing to do!) to swing by Artisa and devour on your beautiful cheese! - Monica -West End, QLD via two email
We tried a lot of different vegan cheeses and yours were hands down the best we sampled! - Emma W - via email
Lovely people, and so welcoming. They even had a cheese platter for us to try. Just get them all! - Michell L - Google review February 2019
(re Ben Lomond cheese) Had some last night with onion jam and crackers - delicious! Liz S- Facebook March 2019
This is the BEST vegan cheese I have ever had! Thank you!!!! Had to force myself stop eating it so that there's still some left for tomorrow - Karen S Facebook Septmeber 2019


text: The severe storms that ripped through Central Florida left behind a curious piece of wreckage: the aftermath of an apparent "Sharknado." The Beach Wave surf shop in Cocoa Beach is well known for its iconic sign, which features a shark holding a surf board with a bite taken out of it. The strong winds early Sunday toppled the sign, making it appear that it had been taken out by a shark crashing from the sky. The scene evoked comparisons to the Sharknado series of tongue-in-cheek disaster films.

PhD student in Anthropology of Health, EHESS
Postgraduate program: Health, Population and Social Policies, EHESS
SHS scholarship from Cancéropôle Ile-de-France
Dissertation title: Breast reconstruction in cancer treatment and plastic surgery: A compared sociological analysis
Under the supervision of Ilana Löwy
This research aims to study the experience of patients and doctors in the area of mastectomy and lumpectomy in the Île-de-France region. In particular, the research will focus on analyzing the mechanisms that influence the choice between lumpectomy, mastectomy, and breast reconstruction. The French situation will be compared with the Italian one in order to highlight similarities and differences (from a technical point of view, that of how the care system is organized, etc.) in the courses of treatment in the two contexts. The comparative approach will provide a better understanding of the role of the context in breast-cancer care. We will also compare plastic surgery with the practice of mastectomy and breast reconstruction. We shall try to understand the links and differences between these two typologies of surgical intervention carried out on the same body region, but with different goals and in different situations. We propose to study the respective doctor-patient relationships and their goals. Many mastectomies can be followed by a reconstruction operation, which adds to the oncological questions of complications specific to plastic surgery. Oncological surgery and plastic surgery share an obvious interest in the patient's health and well-being, with the first focusing on the removal of tumor or tumor-risk tissue, and the second on the possibility of reconstruction and aesthetic results. Moreover, the same development of surgical techniques that preserve the skin or the nipple shows the joint presence of an oncological goal and an aesthetic one.
On their side, patients have an even broader range of interests – health, safety, aesthetic appearance, and mental and physical integrity – and they can have different motivations to choose breast reconstruction or not; these motivations can be of a medical nature, but they can also be related to goals or difficulties of a different nature.
The goal of this research is to investigate, through in-depth interviews with patients and the care staff, the unfolding of the course of treatment, the complex of information and doctor-patient relationships, and the conditions under which a decision was made to perform a reconstruction operation or not. We also propose to gain better knowledge of the expectations, hesitations, and doubts of women who have had a mastectomy. This study will also be able to help to understand the role of the "gender schemes" of the patients and professionals in reconstruction and plastic-surgery choices.

Sorry, no etymologies found.
Alan Ayckbourn claims Chekhov's great tragi-comedy about love, desire and regret among his favourite plays, so it's a brave move to take it on and give it an English twist.
The marital tragi-comedy stars the director's actress wife Emmanuelle Seigner as a free-spirited temptress wed to an invalid Peter Coyote, engaged in seductive cruise-ship shenanigans with Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott-Thomas.
Well, I, mere woman that I am, thought Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lissa Evans to be a completely splendid novel, and a tragi-comedy of the highest order.
And as if all that were not enough, the friend of the king, and the tragi-comedy that he had played in recent months, came to destroy what little credibility was left in the elections.
Global Voices in English » Moroccan Elections: The King's Party Triumphs
In literature, there are novels ... in which a mild tragi-comedy arises naturally out of context and situation, novels which are softly witty but which may never elicit an actual laugh; and there are also "comic novels", which correspond to the man who comes up to you and says, "have you heard the one about ...?", novels obviously very busy at the business of being comic.
The result is that usual family compromise that looks like madness and indulgence to grown up people who have no children, and parents who have forgotten the tragi-comedy of those early years.
The push-button shallowness of ,emOff the Map means it's going to miss the epic tragi-comedy of what working overseas in aid, journalism or policy is really like.
While theoretical academics and self-conscious modernists shy away from the sentimental pitfalls of such subjects as love, sex and death, the country and western crooners would give the human tragi-comedy full unashamed voice.
The push-button shallowness of ,emOff the Map means it's going to miss the epic tragi-comedy of what working overseas in aid, journalism or policy is really like.
I don't doubt the applicability of Wood's distinction between "mild tragi-comedy" -- what he will go on to identify as "humor" more properly understood -- and the "comic" as illustrated in Sterne or Pynchon.

I interviewed with a company last week that I've wanted to get into for about 15 years. Today I was offered the position. This company comes with full benefits. I haven't had health, dental, vision for 10+ years; it's all been out of pocket. Needless to say I am looking forward to the benefits. This company also gives back to the community, which is one of the things I admire about the company. I am beyond happy with the pay rate they've offered me. I will be making $22,880 more a year than I currently make and it's $14,144 more than I made when I left my previous job. Money certainly isn't everything and I would've been plenty happy making significantly less than they offered me, but this will make some aspects of my life a little easier.
I will be going to AA and ACoA meetings starting this weekend. My current job has been like my "meetings", if you will, but I'm going to lose the support and encouragement I get from working with these guys. Now it's time to grow my sober network.
I had an amazing equine session in therapy this week. I swear I fall more in love with Anejo every time I see him.
Then there is this other guy who I've been getting to know over the last several months. He is such a great guy. We share in each others good times and in our not so good times. He is someone I feel I can be completely open and honest with. We have this amazing connection that is strengthened by the mutual respect, trust, friendship, and love we share for one another. I very much look forward to building on what we already have.
Life isn't always easy, happy, or fun but every now and then when we aim to do the right thing, to do what's best, to act towards ourselves as though we matter just as much as everyone else, the Universe responds. Things have been working out and falling in line for me lately and I am welcoming it all with open arms. I am happy with where my life is right now and the direction it is going. I'm happy! I don't remember the last time I was truly happy. A girl could get used to this.

To stay up to date with the latest information in the beekeeping industry to can visit our beekeeping latest news. On the other hand if you're new to apiculture and desire to start professional apiculture now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can be a full-time profession or a simple hobby. Nevertheless, more often than not, what started as a hobby would turn into a profession. But you cannot simply determine and tell yourself that you will start to do beekeeping. You need to have adequate knowledge and understanding on the area that you are going to enter, before beginning on any avocation or profession. Then it is about time to indulge yourself, if you've been putting off your curiosity about beekeeping for quite a long time. Bee farming may not look difficult; by learning the fundamental beekeeping lessons, you can be got off to a good start.
What does a beekeeper need to know?
On beekeeping to start at the right foot first, you should have full interest. You should have agreed to share your dwelling space. There are potential risks in beekeeping that can damage you but your family as well. Your focus is not just to earn money by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have fire and a keen interest in raising bees.
An apiarist should know the right place for the beehives. The area must have adequate sources of nectar for the bees to get. You need certainly to make sure that beekeeping is enabled in your town if you decide to place your beehives at your backyard. There are several places restricted to beekeeping; you have to get permission concerning this.
Beekeepers must know whether beekeeping supplies are offered in the place where the beehives are situated. When you must visit a nearby beekeeping store you may never know; it's best that a nearby beekeeping store is not inaccessible.
Protective gear and equipment may also be very important to beekeepers to understand. This will reduce the chances of being stung by your bees. Know the right kind of suit to select to keep you from any possible danger in beekeeping.
In case you are not able to harvest honey all the attempts that are beekeeping would be futile. A beekeeper should know the methods in collecting the honey in the comb; beeswax is also part of the yields in beekeeping.

Yoga in-studio - what's changed?
We are feeling very cautious too and have started out extremely carefully with just a few classes in the studio, with just a few people in each. We are re-introducing more classes as time goes on if all is well.
We'll continue to offer our classes online for the foreseeable future and the in-person classes will also offer attendance via Zoom.
The studio will feel a little different when you return to help keep you and our teachers safe. Here are the additional safety measures we have put in place based on the government guidelines that have been issued and we welcome feedback as we navigate this ever-changing time.
Plenty of space
Equipment sharing
Booking and attending
Reducing transmission potential
We will update these guidelines as we feel the need and please feel free to give suggestions so that you feel relaxed and comfortable at the studio when you take your practice.
Look forward to seeing you soon and hope you stay well.
At the start of lockdown, they announced an immediate and unexpected change to the way they reimburse partners (all studios and yoga teachers, not just us) and drastically reduced what they pay us when one of their members attends a yoga class. The reduction was massive, sometimes as much as 70%. This inevitably meant that our income and our teachers income reduced too. They needed to do this so survive as a business, so it makes sense for them. And it has meant that their members could continue their yoga classes during this time, which has been important.
For online yoga we have continued to accept MoveGB members and we have loved seeing you in class. But sadly this change means we have no choice but to limit MoveGB members to online classes only going forwards for the time being. At the physical studio, which we are hoping to reopen soon, spaces are going to be very limited given social distancing measures, so we have to plan accordingly. So initially we will be only accepting MoveGB members to online classes.
We will continue to honour current members with online classes, but we just wanted to let you know this change ahead of time so you can consider your options as we re-open our studio space and hope to welcome you back again.
As always, we welcome your comments and questions so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Yoga - the art of moving, breathing, sitting and reconnecting to that sense of grounded perspective and awe. Using the practice to become revitalised yet quietened in body, breath and mind, Quiet enough even, to notice and dwell in that internal spaciousness that was the same yesterday as it was the day before that, and the year before that...
It's quicker than you think
All it takes is some simple movements, attention turned towards the breath, and bringing a steadiness and calmness through intentional focus. Then space to sit and be still for a moment. Like any skill, there is a learning curve to establishing the necessary skills and understanding of what you are doing. A practice that suits you and works for you might take a bit of exploration and discovery (this is where a teacher is very helpful). But it's certainly worth the effort.
Daily yoga practice doesn't need to be hot, vigorous or sweaty. It doesn't need to be acrobatic, complicated or impressive. It doesn't require flexibility or strength. It doesn't need to be on a yoga mat and lycra is definitely not required, PJs are perfect.
I find it truly remarkable how little it takes to feel like I'm thriving again (after another tiring day of home schooling, therapeutic parenting, an onslaught of bad news from the media, and restrictions on day to day living). Of course if you enjoy making it tough, sweaty, vigorous, or otherwise, then that is great and the benefits will speak for themselves. But there is also a much simpler and more accessible alternative that can be discovered. if that will suit you better.
Home yoga practice videos coming soon
I'll be posting some home practice yoga videos online soon to support some simple home practices that you might find helpful. A yoga class is of course great - it helps you learn the skills and techniques that are time tested to work and gives you a longer practice and more time than you'd likely dedicate to yourself on a daily basis. Yoga classes also get you learning from a teacher who has been where you are and can guide you more skillfully (as long as the teacher has the opportunity to get to know you and your practice and aims). But I'd encourage anyone who is interested to take up a short daily yoga practice too. 10 minutes can truly work wonders. Or join in my yoga classes and there is a home practice handout each term based on what you've learned to help get you started with your own home yoga practice.
Please don't be fooled by the Instagram/media yoga-hype --- it simply doesn't have to be that complicated or hard, it doesn't have to take ages, and no, you don't need to balance on your hands / head at any point.
Check back soon or join the mailing list for updates on videos coming soon (once the home-schooling gaps permit).
Live streaming yoga classes online
The new normal for yoga classes over the next few months is live streaming video.
There are advantages to this:
- you can wear your PJs if you like
There are disadvantages to this:
- we don't get to chat as much, although there is still chat before and after the practice time
We are figuring this out as we go and are excited to continue meeting and sharing yoga with you and providing much needed yoga practice and support during rapidly changeable times.
How it works
It is actually easier than I thought it would be
1) You book into a class either via our online booking system or MoveGB, ideally at least 30 mins before the class begins.
2) Set up a home practice space - somewhere warm and quiet if possible where you'll be undisturbed. Set up your computer, tablet or smartphone where you can see the screen and hear me.
3) You're sent a link straight away once you've booked via our online booking system. The link is active 15 mins before the class start. Check your spam folder if you don't receive the link. MoveGB members will receive the link when they 'check-in'.
4) Click on the link you've been sent and join in the class. :-)
5) Enjoy your practice.
Here is more detailed information. And we are happy to help if you need support getting you up and running.
Technical stuff
You'll need a laptop, computer, tablet or smart phone to join this online class.
If you plan to use a tablet or phone, we recommend downloading the App in advance via your App store.
You'll receive a Zoom link for this class once you've completed your booking which can be used up to 15 minutes before the class start time.
Visit the link 10 minutes ahead of time for your first class. There is a very quick and straightforward download to join in and then you can set up and relax before the class begins.
Check your spam folder if you don't receive the link.
When you join, you can choose to have video switched on or off. We'd prefer it switched on so we can see you and support your practice and offer suggestions, but you are equally welcome to have it turned off if you prefer. If your video is switched on, just like at YogaSpace, everyone will be able to see you - except you'll be a very small thumbnail video.
Once you arrive in the virtual studio, make sure that is your main view and not all of the thumbnail videos of the attendees. If it isn't by default, scroll or select the virtual studio and click on the three dots to 'pin' the teacher and make them full screen.
Once your in if you want to chat to the teacher, there is an option to 'raise your hand' next to your profile which we will see, and we can unmute you so that you can chat to us or we can chat via typing too.
If you need additional help, we'd be happy to talk you through your first set up earlier in the day or prior to the class.
Yoga practice at home - top tips
We are learning as we go given the sudden change in situation so any feedback or suggestions for improvements is very gratefully received.
We look forward to seeing you online soon.
Updates and coronavirus safety
2 metres apart - 9 max per class
We are limiting class sizes to 9 participants so that there is at least 2 metres distance between heads in the class. Arrive early and avoid lingering in reception too long to maintain your distance. The side room is also available to head towards and leave your belongings to provide more space.
Bring your own mat or towel
Bring along your own mat or towel to lay over ours. Ours are cleaned before each use with sanitizer but lets maintain caution.
Adjusting the practices slightly
- We are not adjusting using our hands or walking around in between people to maintain the social distancing recommendations.
- We are avoiding any poses that are face down on the mats and not recommending anything that involves touching the face.
Paper towels and wipes
We're using disposable paper towels to encourage hand washing and avoid communal towels.
Cleaning the studio and wiping everything
After every class all door handles, taps etc. are all wipes down with sanitizer which as far as we know kills the virus.
Looking into online class offerings
Watch this space. But we might be able to offer some classes live online so if you are self isolating, then you can still maintain some practice. .
What you can do to help
Check the website before coming in case the class has been cancelled. If the teacher feels unwell or anyone in their house does, they won't run the class.
Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in, wash hands etc.
Wash your hands before and after class
Avoid touching your face
Please don't come if you have a cough or temperature or are living with someone who is
Keep up your yoga practice
Maintaining equanimity during times of difficulty is so important and helpful not only to you but to those around you. Staying grounded, maintaining a connection to the wider perspective, knowing that this will pass, and tending to the seeds of worry that can grow out of proportion if we don't also tend to the seeds of calm and steadiness.
If I can be of any help please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Yoga mat sharing - update
Please bring along your own mat or towel
Given the need to be proactive and sensible in our response to the current corona virus outbreak, I'm recommending that if possible, please bring along your own yoga mat or a towel to lay down over the yoga studio mat where your head will be placed.
Avoiding close contact sharing could be either over cautious, or helpful in inhibiting the spread of the virus so let's err on the side of caution.
It will also help you relax in your yoga practice and place your awareness more effectively.
~ If you feel unwell, have a temperature or cough, please avoid coming to class. (We will ensure that any missed classes can be made up at a later date, we would rather you were cautious.)
~ Wash your hands before and after class.
~ Wipe down your mat when you get home.
We do clean the mats and the studio regularly and thoroughly and will be stepping up our efforts here.
In the meantime, keep moving, keep breathing, keep calm and carry on.
YogaSpace raised £228.41 (updated 22nd October) grand total of the Trail to be announced soon - all to support young people's mental health. And we had a really inspiring day talking with you about how yoga can help and how the Viniyoga approach to yoga practice ensures there is always a way to find a yoga practice that suits you, even when you don't even remotely resemble a bendy, lycra clad person doing a pretzel pose!
Thanks for coming and and joining in, and we look forward to welcoming you back to YogaSpace in Bishopston soon! xx
Timeless yoga teachings
Yoga is a set of practices but also, it is an area of study. The practices that we embody - the movements and postures, the breath and the meditative supports - can be wonderful to simply experience and do. No prior knowledge needed. But as your experience and understanding develops the richer it becomes, As an adjunct to the practices is the understanding, the context and the wider practices of yoga, which are rooted in a rich, broad, deep and ancient tradition. Not something you get to grips with in a group class generally (try one of my Bristol-based yoga workshops or Foundation Courses to find out more about this).
The Association of Yoga Studies (AYS) of which I'm a teaching member, is a viniyoga community that meets every year and comes together for a weekend of wonderful yoga workshops. This weekend just past was our annual convention with an inspiring theme on Yoga and Music led by Ravi Shankar and Sheela Shankar from India. They are both long-time yoga scholars trained directly by Desikachar and Sheela is an accomplished classical Indian singer. They shared the most beautiful and subtle approach to yoga practice through sound, song, chant and ancient Vedic poetry. Sheela delightfully performed songs for us and then led us skillfully in ancient chanting practices. While Ravi gave us eloquent context and history around the chants that we practiced.
As always with the teaching conventions, I've come away inspired to explore these subtle practices in my personal practice and feel re-rooted in the tradition of yoga. It is such a privilege to be welcomed into this warm and generous community all brought together by the legacy of the humble, honest and rigorous teachings of TKV Desikachar.
What I love about the teachings in this weekend's community, is that your never more than a breath away from a reference to the Yoga Sutras or the Vedas. The ancient traditions are maintained with a thread of understanding that is brilliantly woven through the workshops and brought to life through the teacher. The interpretation of yoga hasn't been recycled so many times without reference to the original teachings, that it is barely recognisable as yoga at all (as is common in many modern yoga teaching approaches). Refreshing, inspiring, grounding and beautiful.
Chanting sublimely embodies a timelessness that is hard to find in other yoga practices. The chanting of a song that was written millennia ago, chanted to the same clear, strict rules which means it sounded the same then as it does now (if your teacher is as skilled as Sheela Shankar) bringing you to the exact same point as the people who chanted it before you, The sounds, the breath and focus required to maintain the ability to chant in Sanskrit, the acute listening and heightened senses, the connection to that which is timeless, And the awareness that of course life hasn't changed that much. The outward appearance and experience is unrecognisable, but our internal experience is still on the same path and these teachings which were so valuable then, are still available to help make life and living better. Love it!!
Perhaps an ache will reduce, perhaps a tension habit will subside, perhaps the sleep will start to improve, or you'll be less moody. Perhaps your chores will feel more pleasurable, or you'll be more present with your kids or colleagues. Perhaps you'll be more patient or open to other people's ideas, perhaps you'll be a little kinder - It shows up in many ways.
But the other can also be true. The prep may feel GREAT. The practice might be fully satisfying, and you want more prep. You might feel like you are becoming a fantastic chef and your prep is awesome. You practice more, you love it, you find your tribe and you're into it, BUT you don't notice the meal.
Life beyond the practice is the important bit - how the prep leaves you. Do you feel tired? Are you getting a repetitive strain or grumbling discomfort in your body that wasn't there before? Are you agitated or judgemental, impatient or aggressive etc. How is your ego handling all of this awesome prep and how great you have been feeling lately? How are your relationships with those around you? Subtle results that are important revelations to the results of our practice. Being vigilant to the sidetracking towards the glitter of the prep, rather than the meal itself and how it shows up in you in subtle ways, is a consideration when practicing yoga.
What I love about yoga practice is that the more consistent and appropriate prep you do, the better the meal - the better the rest of your life feels. This builds day-on-day, week-on-week, year-on-year. And occasionally in our prep, we get to taste a sublime flavour that stays with us far beyond the yoga mat.
Regular, consistent, appropriate prep, regular consistent practice, to bring into the rest of your life.

The process of accumulation continues and final makes a person obese. It is very important to have a good diet plans as to keep away fro the problems related to obesity and over weight. A person carrying more weight that normal is bound to get lazy and in the process add more weight. It is a vicious circle and to break it one must start consuming the right food as well exercise on a regular basis.
Losing weight for people who are over weight is very important. The main reason behind this is that, with time a number of other problems arise due to obesity and over weight. Also obesity is accompanied by other diseases related to heart. Losing weight is not a big problem, as it only seems tedious.

"Where Were You?" Trying out a new Song
I was sitting listening to Matt Maher talk about a very important subject one day:
Why do we tend to write songs for worship that are fluffy little "God is good and great" songs?
Okay – so I don't remember the exact words that he said…but you get the general idea. The point is that the world can sting and hurt to a lot of folks right now – and if they walk into a church hearing songs like "How Great Is Our God" and think…."God isn't too great if He let this happen to me."
Now, digress for the moment from your thoughts about instantly wanting to explain why He is still great. Let's be honest – it is a hard pill for someone not walking close to understand those things. They see…let's be honest….what you yourself have probably seen before – a lot of questions and a lot of anger pent up against a God who is supposed to be "oh-so-loving." The point is this: It is possible and very much okay to write a song that asks questions of God, explains your hurt, or – perhaps – voices frustration.
So I did.
After our discussion, I showed Matt a rough copy of a quickly jotted down chorus. That chorus became "Where Were You?"
Would you be so kind as to take a listen to the rough demo and leave me a comment with your brutal and honest thoughts? Don't criticize the music – yes, I use a conga for a click track. Don't criticize my voice. I don't criticize you when you sing in the shower. Think of the words and the meaning behind the words. What sticks out? What stands out? What made you think? What's the one line that you seem to remember? Anything NOT true there? I'm an open book right now. Write my pages. It's not often that a songwriter or artists asks the public for an upfront and honest critique of their song.

Where Were You
(words and music by Jason Whitehorn)
You've seen my cheeks stained with tears
you've seen my anger lashed out.
The questions that I've been searching for
the answers I am without.
You've seen me question Your Will
knowing I didn't make the plans
and though I've kept You at a distance
I was still in your hands.
Where were you
when my hope was gone?
Where were you?
Why'd you leave me all alone?
He was at a grave, in a tear,
by a hospital bed
When you lost your job He cried, too
in tears formed of red.
When your world came crashing down
and you were suffering a loss.
God was at the Cross
You've seen me searching for reasons
to questions that I can't even say.
Like 'why'd the woman with cancer
have to die today?'
Was it Your time to have her go
or my will to make her stay?
and to understand the price that was paid
for her to be in Heav'n today.
He was by her side 'til the end
then He walked her through the gate
When your baby died – He was there
and He held your hearts in place.
Our pain alone does not compare
to the burden that He bought
God was at the Cross.
All these unanswered questions
all the tings better left unsaid
and still you understand that
life comes from death.

According to the Renton Reporter , no one was injured. Three families were displaced. Officials say the fire was started by flower-shaped decorative lights resting on the carpeted floor in the dining area. Fire crews didn't need to deploy equipment, but helped clean up the water damage.
Renton Deputy Fire Chief Chad Michael stressed that the sprinkler system kept the fire in check. "The sprinkler system did its job and kept the impact to a pretty minimal amount," he is quoted as saying. The chief's words underscore what NFPA's educational materials tell us. The community toolkit on home fire sprinklers and home fire sprinkler safety information, including the Home Fire Sprinklers tips sheet, reinforce the point that home fire sprinklers protect lives by keeping fires small.

Anita Ayling is heartsick as raging wildfires torment the creatures and land that she's fallen for time and time again.
"The more I explore Australia, the more I love it. The native animals and their habitats are truly special," said Ayling via email Wednesday.
"The stunning landscapes and plants are seemingly endless. It is an incredibly diverse and amazing country, both in terms of its people and its nature."
Jan. 9, Reuters reported that Australia's recent bushfires have ravaged 10.3 million hectares of land, likening that size to South Korea.
The international news agency has also reported that 27 deaths have been linked to the blazes so far this fire season, according to Australia's federal government.
"The common thread is that most of us feel helpless and are scared for Australia as a whole." – Anita Ayling
In Australia, The Sydney Morning Herald reported Jan. 8 that scientists fear the number of animals killed as a result of the bushfires will be in the billions.
Ayling, originally from Berwick in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, lives in a suburb of Melbourne. She estimates that the closest large fires to her are about a few hundred kilometres from her home in Elwood, Victoria.
Even still, her neighbourhood must heed air quality alerts as hazardous smoke haze blankets the major cities.
"I am constantly thinking about the disaster and how many people and animals are affected," she said.
"I am also consistently worrying about how they will get them under control with very little rain forecast and extreme temperatures. It's such a large-scale crisis that it's difficult to wrap my head around and understand 'what's next.'"
And there are times, like now, when she has no time for mincing her words.
"Fires are… a part of nature and Australia has fires regularly. Fires like these aren't exactly a shock and were predicted years ago," she said. "There are, of course, climate change deniers, but I am not one of them."
Unrest and unease loom as humans continue to grapple with the forces of nature.
"I am a part of, or hear, endless conversations on the train or at work, all about the fires and the devastation that doesn't have an end date. People talk about the firefighters (fire-ees as they say here), the civilians, the homes, the countless animals, the beautiful land and, of course, all of the politics surrounding the issue," said Ayling.
"Everyone seems to have an opinion, but the common thread is that most of us feel helpless and are scared for Australia as a whole."
She said knowing that fires are burning in every state – to the extent that activity is visible from space – is incredibly overwhelming.
"The fact that you can smell it in our air even though we're very far from the fires shows how intense they must be. Feeling helpless weighs heavy on my heart. I have donated what I can, but am seeking out other avenues to make an impact."
It's been heartwarming to watch residents rally together to pool time, money and skills in response to the tragic circumstances unfolding throughout the country.
But there is more to be done.
And they can't do it alone.
Ayling hopes people from near and far will do what they can to help Australia contend with the ongoing state of chaos, and the devastating outcomes that will inevitably persist in the wake of the fires.
"The current state of Australia is actually as awful as the media is making it out to be… get in contact with people who live here before you start worrying about their safety," she said. "Also, don't forget there are ways you can help from afar."
The music therapist moved to Australia about a year ago. It offered a healthy work-life balance for her life with her partner, who also enjoys the outdoors.
They spent the Christmas holidays camping and hiking throughout the state of Victoria, soaking in the serenity.
Ayling is well aware of the magnitude of the disaster with no end date.
"It still feels surreal."

A. Bartlett Giamatti Quotes
Angelo Bartlett "Bart" Giamatti (/d?i???m??ti/; April 4, 1938 – September 1, 1989) was an American professor of English Renaissance literature, the president of Yale University, and the seventh Commissioner of Major League Baseball
Read more about this author on Wikipedia
We have an obligation to spread amateur baseball both at home and abroad. Building up the game at all levels - Little League, Babe Ruth Leagues, the colleges - is in our own self-interest. That's where the pool of talent is - and also of fans.
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.
Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.
This is not the first time in my life where you know going into a job that you're going to hear in stereo what was wrong with what you did.
A tremendous social responsibility comes with being a successful public performer.
For me, baseball is the most nourishing game outside of literature. They both are re-tellings of human experience.
I'm not going to sit here now and say 'do this,' or 'do that.' But you must - must - expunge any vestige of racism.
I think that the young people today feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to their brothers and sisters because of the sacrifices that most families make to send their children to college.
The people of America care about baseball, not about your squalid little squabbles. Reassume your dignity and remember that you (players during the 1981 strike) are the temporary custodians of an enduring public trust.
Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else. Winning is important to any man's or woman's sense of satisfaction and well-being. Winning is not everything; but it is something powerful, indeed beautiful, in itself, something as necessary to the strong spirit as striving is necessary to the healthy character.
The university is our culture's assertion that what is made by the mind has value and can convey values.
