This will result in a "total raw score," from which the final band score is determined.

Warrnambool orthodontist Paul Kittel's waiting room marks 50 years since Apollo 11's moon landing
IN THE unlikely setting of a Warrnambool orthodontist's waiting room, model spacecraft, rare footage of astronauts and extraterrestrial images line the walls.
Owner Paul Kittel has for nearly a decade collected the items in preparation for the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing this weekend. He even struck up a friendship with the family of the sole artist who sketched the Apollo 11 astronauts before they departed.
Memories of teachers suspending his school work to watch something "important" have led Mr Kittel to want to share the momentousness of the first human steps on the moon with his younger patients.
He remembers as a nine-year-old watching grainy live footage from Memorial Oval Primary School in the South Australian city of Whyalla as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, but he admits he didn't grasp the moment until later life.
"You knew it was important, but you didn't realise until you were a little older that it was one of those events you weren't going to see again," he said.
"I never forgot it. As I watched it more I realised I got to watch history that few people get to watch."
Years later an interest in aviation drew him back to learning about the moon landing and he contacted the family of artist Paul Calle to obtain prints of Mr Calle's 1969 postage stamp images that commemorated the event.
Mr Calle was the only artist permitted to sketch the astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins before Apollo 11 journey and Mr Kittel's daughter soon became a pen pal of Mr Calle's grandaughter.
Mr Kittel said it was the optimism that motivated humans to go to another planet that interested him today.
"I can't imagine humans will want to do it these days. It could well be a one-way mission to somewhere like Mars," he said.
"Now is an opportunity to show people who may remember and some who have never heard of it."

The fourth HARC workshop, "Respiratory infections in the elderly - the role in exacerbations of chronic airway diseases", chaired by Professor Marek L. Kowalski took place on May 29-30, 2014 at the Medical University of Lodz with more than 100 participants. The faculty included 18 internationally renowned scientists involved in studies on various aspects of the role of infections in the pathogenesis and exacerbations of asthma and COPD with emphasis on the elderly population. The workshop has been arranged in 5 main sessions and poster presentation session. The workshop was opened by the Rector of MUL prof. Paweł Górski and HARC Coordinator prof. Marek L. Kowalski
During the first session the lectures were presented by prof. Peter Burney (UK) (Obstructive airway diseases in the elderly from epidemiologic perspective), by prof. Calogero Caruso (IT) (Sex and immunosenescence), by Dr. Evelyna Derhovanessian (Germany) (Human immunosenescence: impact of Cytomegalovirus infection) and by Dr Krzysztof Trzciński (NL) (Immunosenescence and pneumococcal pneumonia – path to disease in the elderly).
The second session included lectures provided by prof. Ronald Dahl (DK) (Exacerbations prone phenotypes of COPD), prof. Wojciech Piotrowski (PL) (Bacteria in COPD exacerbations) by Dr Patrick Mallia (UK) (Viruses in COPD exacerbation) and by prof Claus Bachert from Belgium (Late onset airway disease: the link between sinusitis and asthma).
In the afternoon session three lectures were presented: by prof. Marek L. Kowalski (PL) (Asthma in the elderly), by Dr Lawrence DuBuske (USA) (Role of bacteria in asthma exacerbations) and Dr Ana Rebane (EE) (miRNA in regulation of airway inflammation).

Adam Antczak (PL) (Invasive pneumococcal disease in the elderly), prof. Ewa Jassem (PL) (The risk of pneumonia in patients on inhaled corticosteroids) and prof. Riccardo Polosa (IT) (Smoking and respiratory exacerbations).
The last session was devoted to vaccination against respiratory infections: prof. Parveen Yaqoob (UK) spoke on nutrition and response to vaccination-implications for the management of elderly population), Dr Joanna Chorostowska - Wynimko (PL) on influenza vaccination in patients with chronic respiratory diseases – focus on elderly population) and Dr Ernesto Oviedo-Orta (IT) concluded the meeting with the lecture on development of new vaccines for the elderly. All sessions included time for questions and answers providing a chance for lively and profound discussions. In addition young researchers from Medical University of Lodz as well as from other Polish academic centers presented posters with their original research.

Co-here Local Tokens bridges merchant payments & loyalty rewards, local currency, regional currency, national currency and global currency.
An open source, decentralised node and liquidity network will be community driven.
The project is in conceptual design phase, preparing for the digital wallet, payment, currency and rewards tsunami.
Second stage includes Point of Sale loans sourced from peer networks to three degrees of trusted connections and common loan pool, and a facility for prepaid discount subscriptions for merchants to offer customers.
Stage three will provide merchants the ability to escrow Local Tokens and brand their own Locality tokens, while customers prepaying for bulk discount subscriptions, can receive merchant branded tokens as rewards.
A short story
A person walks in to a cafe to meet a friend, enjoy a delicious healthy breakfast in a comfortable environment and friendly service. They approach the payment counter and pay, receiving a stamp on a loyalty rewards card. End of story.
Teasing open the payment just a little
We may notice the customer and the merchant pay fees to their banks, even if the payment was in cash. If the payment was via debit or credit card, the merchant also pays a fee for Electronic Funds Transfer Point of Sale (EFTPOS) equipment and a fee to a payment gateway service. The merchant may ask the customer to contribute a transaction fee to reduce their costs. The loyalty rewards card may have been made of paper, printed locally and physically stamped with a stamper. Do you have a few of these stuffed in your wallet? There may have been an electronic rewards program via a mobile app. There may have been a credit card payment with fees and interest.
What if… a shared loyalty rewards platform was so much more?
What if… a loyalty rewards program could provide all these services at a lower cost (and more ethically): banking, eftpos, payment gateway service, as well as a shared loyalty rewards platform?
What if… you could transfer rewards between participating merchants, convert them or cash out?
What if.. in stage two, we mutually funded a Point of Sale Loan with scheduled repayments and merchants could provide discounted subscription facility?
What if… in stage three, we platformed models and tools for cooperation between customers, employees, impact investors and entrepreneurs, to fund enterprises and manage their equity and governance – a platform in common?
Open shared protocols, an emerging financial paradigm
While Co-here's story is just starting, it's building on top of a history of open communication protocols, such as the internet and world wide web. It's building on a growing movement of open source software development powering much of the web. It's building on a movement of distributed ledger technology as infrastructure and decentralised finance (DeFi) as an economic paradigm.
The "open and in common" paradigm has been growing and developing for decades. It's all about connecting people with communication and financial infrastructure, which they share in common, benefit from and contribute towards.
Democratising economics with currency as a service
Co-here Local Tokens are a complementary currency for payments at participating merchants, located in villages, in city / regions, national and international. An automated locality incentive – rewards spending – the more local, the more rewards.
Complementary currencies work in addition to existing money, rather than replacing existing, official money. There are whole different families of complementary currencies. One of them is local currencies. One is regional currencies. Another is functional currencies. Another is social-purpose currencies.Bernard Lietaer
Co-here in a nutshell
Localisation reduces the out-flow of economic value, repairing the 'leaky bucket', increasing the re-circulation of money through preference for local trade, mutual finance and investment. Boosting re-circulation even a small amount can have a virtuous 'local multiplier effect'.
Co-here is all about cohesive resilience in communities supported by an economic localisation incentive, complementary currency, peer lending and prepaid subscriptions.
Co-here Local Tokens provide a way of payment in which the receiver will be incentivised to continue to spend it locally as well.
Local Tokens can be spent in other localities, regionally, nationally and even globally, but with a disincentive fee in outer localities and an incentive bonus to spend in an inner locality.
Local traders provide loyalty rewards and discount subscriptions to customers and re-circulate the currency. The last phase of Co-here roadmap is to facilitate community investment in co-operatives and social enterprises.

Note: In order to take advantage of the localisation incentive you would need to spend more than half your Local Tokens in an inner locality if you were planning to transfer the entire remainder to your global wallet.

Peer to Merchant Lending
A prepaid customer subscription standard could provide advance funds to participating merchants at a lower cost than institutional loans and allow these merchants to offer greater discounts to their loyal customers – read more…
In this prepaid subscription schedule there is a gradual increase in the discount rate each week, which amounts to savings for the customer, with an understood agreed discount rate over the full term. The advantage of this prepaid subscription model is the facility to be paused, or terminated with a refund, for the remaining prepaid allowance.

Nivin Pauly starrer "Premam" as expected has received a fabulous start at the box office. According to industry sources, the film has collected over ₹5 crore in its opening weekend.
According to trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai, "Premam", directed by Alphonse Putharen, has an approximate net collection of ₹5.60 crore with a distribution share of ₹3.50 crore in Kerala alone.
#Premam - Opening weekend May 29 to 31 - Kerala only - Net (Approx) - Rs 5.60 Cr, Distributor Share - Rs 3.50 Cr (Approx). Excellent.
— Sreedhar Pillai (@sri50) June 1, 2015
[Read 'Premam' Movie Review: Alphonse Putharen, Nivin Pauly Deliver a Complete Entertainer]
With this Malayalam industry is expecting yet another blockbuster film and the latest numbers shows that the Nivin Pauly starrer has capacity to rewrite the box-office history of Malayalam cinema.
The kind of response that the film has garnered has adversely affected the collection of Tamil movie, "Masss", starring Suriya. This is something new for Malayalam industry as in the past few years big starrer Tamil films used to do better business than Malayalam films in the state.
"Premam" has, thereby, proved that a well executed film with a good script can always make a difference at the box office
At the same time, the producers as well as others who are associated with "Premam", are continuing with strong online promotions for the film. The great buzz that the film has received till now is expected to be carried on for the coming few weeks as well.
The film experiences huge demand on weekends in theatres outside the state as well. In major cities like Chennai, Bengaluru and Mumbai, almost all shows in the weekend ran houseful.

In January and February of 2009, I spent a few weekends tracking a wolverine on Togwotee Pass, just north of Jackson, Wyoming. The days were short, the terrain was challenging, my fingers froze every time I pulled out the telemetry unit. I never found him. This wolverine, who we refer to as the Lava Male but whose official designation is M56, was captured and instrumented by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) wolverine project at Lava Lake, just outside of Grand Teton National Park, in December of 2008. He was a young male, most likely at the age where he needed to find his own territory or else get beaten up or killed by the resident male in the territory where he was born. WCS had briefly shared monitoring duties for M56 with the Absaroka Beartooth Project while they focused on their research sites in Montana. My experiences on Togwotee Pass were not part of any official plan; I was simply trying to reach the area where the telemetry flights had picked him up. I went out three times, and was never successful.
In late February, after rocketing between Togwotee Pass and Dubois, the Lava Male disappeared from the radioscape. There are plenty of things that can kill a wolverine in the wild, but wolverines also move fast enough to be in totally unexpected places between one weekly telemetry flight and the next. I suffered a few twinges of anxiety, but not too many, and we weren't surprised to hear that he'd turned up at the south end of the Wind River Range, a straight-line distance of over 100 miles. Then he disappeared again, this time for a longer stretch, before reappearing in April just north of Rawlins, another 100 miles south of his last location. The area around Rawlins is flat, dry, and full of cattle, the antithesis of ideal wolverine habitat. It's also barely 90 miles north of the Colorado border – and the last confirmed sighting of a wolverine in Colorado dates back to 1919. M56's wanderings had taken him through much of the suitable wolverine habitat in Wyoming, and he hadn't stopped for long in any of it. The next closest potential habitat was in Rocky Mountain National Park. Suddenly the Lava Male's adolescent peregrinations had the potential to become very big news.
The big obstacle, the thing that made me catch my breath in concern every time I thought about it, was I-80, which slices across all of southern Wyoming and which the Lava Male would have to cross if he truly was aiming for Colorado. In mid-May, when I left Jackson to drive across the country, I cringed every time I passed roadkill on the Wyoming portion of I-80. Flattened badgers made me break out in a cold sweat – I was sure I was finally going to see the elusive Lava Male, in a very unhappy situation. Still, I could see that they were badgers, and from the interstate I could also see snow-capped mountains rising to the south. It was the only logical place for him to go, and I didn't think he'd been squashed yet. Hope remained.
Sometime in the dead of night on Memorial Day weekend – in fact, before I cringed my way along the interstate – the Lava Male made it across I-80. About a week later, he crossed the border, at least 290 miles in a straight line from where he'd been caught in December – and in fact, he'd actually traveled more than 500 miles, zig-zagging across Wyoming before reaching the border. For him, of course, the Colorado border wasn't a border at all – just the spine of another mountain range. For the humans who keep track of these animals, it is a border, and that potentially means a whole new set of questions and logistical challenges, policy work and social approaches and interagency relationships. A young dispersing male of any wide-ranging species is not the same thing as a resident population, so none of these complications are inevitable, but young males are frequently the vanguard of territorial expansion, and female wolverines are just as tough and nearly as wide-ranging as males. And as epic as the Lava Male's trip has been, it's standard for wolverines to move fast over long distances. Considering the persistent unconfirmed reports of wolverine in the Colorado Rockies over many decades, and the fact that the wolverine research community only instrument a certain percentage of the overall population, it's possible that wolverine have done this before, and that the Lava Male may find that he's not a lonely pioneer in a wolverine-less landscape after all. Following him over the next few months may provide some insight into this question, as well as a number of other issues important to landscape-scale management of the species.

Mionix Wei Keyboard ReviewPackaging & Accessories »
Mionix is a Swedish company that focuses on one thing - gaming peripherals. They sold a keyboard before, along with mousepads they have discounted since, and we have hence in recent years seen their entire product portfolio consist solely of different mice. Their brand recognition has been growing steadily to where they have developed a user base within the past few years they deemed global enough to introduce another keyboard into their product lineup. Along with this came a new marketing campaign built around the catch phrase "Get Fresh!" with new color schemes and lighter palettes chosen to differentiate their products from the competition. Today, we take a look at the Mionix Wei, and thanks again to Mionix for providing the review sample.
The Mionix Wei is a full-size keyboard that comes in US, UK, Nordic, French, German, and Japanese layout options. I have here the US layout, which is in turn a modified ANSI layout, as seen by the differing top and bottom rows. In particular, Mionix added seven extra keys to serve as dedicated controls for media and more, which does help with productivity. In addition, we can also see a two-tone color scheme in action here, which is complemented by full 16.8 M RGB backlighting. Let us thus examine the keyboard and its features in more detail now, beginning with a look at the specifications below.

Wesfarmers recognises that respecting human rights across our operations and supply chain is an area of growing importance to our employees, shareholders, customers and communities. There is both a moral and a business case for the steps we take to identify, report, address and ultimately eliminate the exploitation of vulnerable people in our supply chain, directly or indirectly, overseas or at home.
In September 2018, members of the Wesfarmers Leadership Team travelled to Bangladesh and India to visit factories supplying garments to Kmart and Target.
This is what they observed:
- Our team members are the first line of defence
We are investing in our people and in ethical sourcing across Kmart and Target in an integrated way. Our team members working in our Asia sourcing offices are the first line of defence, in seeking to ensure the factories supplying to us are operating ethically and in line with Kmart and Target's strict Ethical Sourcing Code.
- Choosing the right partners is critical
We are focused on choosing the right supplier partners. Factors that inform partner choice include:
- Values alignment, particularly openness;
- Suppliers where we have the capacity to be or become a meaningful customer; and
- Whether the supplier works with other large, global brands as this usually reinforces values alignment and commitment to ethical sourcing.
- Strong relationships with our partners is a key focus
We have a strategy to rationalise our factory numbers, and as factory numbers fall, it becomes easier to "really know" our partners. Long dated purchasing commitments help our suppliers invest in technology and enhance their capabilities. Likewise, by placing planned, predictable orders with our suppliers, we reduce the risk of outsourcing in our supply chain.
- Ethical sourcing audit programs are well-established
We have a well-established ethical sourcing audit program through which our retail merchandise suppliers are audited against our Ethical Sourcing Code. These audits are announced or unannounced. Where non-compliance with our Ethical Sourcing Code is identified, the supplier is required to correct the issue (via a corrective action plan) within an appropriate period of time, depending on the nature and severity of the non-compliance. If a critical breach is identified it may be necessary to discontinue our relationship with the supplier. Our audit program is supported by factory training to improve supplier capacity in meeting our ethical sourcing requirements.
- Collaborating with third parties to deliver initiatives is integral to our strategy
We support a range of initiatives which aim to improve working conditions in our suppliers' factories including:
- ACT: a joint initiative of global brands and the Global Union Federation IndustriALL. Its goal is the payment of living wages in the garment, textile and footwear sector. This is to be achieved through national collective bargaining agreements at industry level supported by improved purchasing practices on the ACT member brands.
- ILO/IFC Better Work Program: to improve working conditions and respect of labour rights for factory workers
- The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh: to ensure a safe working environment in the Bangladeshi ready-made garment industry
- Bali Process Government and Business Forum: contributing to inter-governmental regional processes that seek to address issues of modern slavery locally. This involves working across sectors and with regional governments to acknowledge the scale of the problem, supporting efforts to strengthen and implement policy and legal frameworks and advancing sustainable business practices over the long term.

Just to make it clear I (Jeremy) didn't shit the bed yesterday, however I did today. Teach me for thinking I can fart. Temperature down and films still going in the morning, jeremy was feeling much better. But obviously still not in good enough shape to leave the room (soiling himself was still an issue). So, still feeling productive, victoria headed off, clasping lp and coco (our newly adopted coconut monkey), and attempted to finish what she started yesterday. Most errands went swimmingly, however posting coco turned out to be slightly more eventful. Post office don't package up parcels so had to hunt for somewhere that would, which turned out to be in a medical stall (duh?!). After a good 15mins of playing charades with the staff victoria thought she had finally got through to them. She wanted 'parcel packaged for posting'. 'ah', came the reply, 'chocolate'. AHH!! Eventually it was made clear (with the help of 45other people translating) and they wished to know what was being posted. I revealed coco from my bag to a delighted and giggly audience. Mobile camera phones were quickly produced and coco was subjected to the paparazzi. Back to business they returned with a paper envelope just big enough to fit an a4 sheet in. Victoria left the store empty handed wondering how they thought coco was going to slide into an envelope.
Not much else to report apart from bargaining our way through security at the airport and waiting 10bijilion hours for our flight (12 if we're honest). Listened to some nob from lse uni talk about how hard it's going to be for him back in England as he is sooo used to the heat of India. Turned out he'd been in India as long as us, idiot. Oh and while I'm moaning, what kind of a moron informs people that it's colder in Europe than in India. Can I hit him? Pretty please?
1 more hour to go. Victoria is running round doing a Claudia (dog) on the tiled floor and having to think about turning 5 steps before she does as to be able to make the turn and stop. Not a lot else is interesting. Oh wait the biggest scam in India, THE AIRPORT!!! Forced to pay at least double if not quadrupal what we usually pay. Scum.

Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
In response to a Petition presented on behalf of the citizens of Liverpool, Queen Victoria incorporated by Charter on 18 Oct 1881 a University College which was housed on a site and in buildings acquired and transferred to the College by the Corporation of the City of Liverpool. Generous support was readily given to the College by the people of Merseyside and within three years fourteen Chairs were established. In view of this rapid progress and of its growing prestige as a centre of higher learning, the University College was in 1884 admitted as one of the constituent colleges of the Victoria University which in 1880 had been incorporated by Royal Charter upon the Petition of Owens College, Manchester. In the same year the Royal Infirmary Medical School estabilshed in 1834 and based initially at the Liverpool Royal Institution was incorporated in University College, Liverpool and became the nucleus of a Faculty of Medicine.
In 1902 the University College presented a petition to King Edward VII, supported by a Petition of a committee appointed at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool applying for the Grant of a Royal Charter as a separate and Independant University. The Royal Charter, granted on 15 Jul 1903, incorporated the University of Liverpool with full powers to administer its affairs and confer degrees upon its students. On 14 August 1903 the Royal Assent was given to an Act of Parliament, entitled the Liverpool University Act 1903, which separated University College, Liverpool from the Victoria University and merged it into the University of Liverpool

Ever since Canada Post Corporation announced its plans to eliminate door to door mail delivery to five million households over the next five years, postal customers and letter carriers have been campaigning hard to stop the implementation of community mailboxes (CMBs). In Ontario alone CMB conversion has already been implemented in Oakville, Kanata and Petawawa. This year Canada Post plans to convert additional communities, including London, Milton, Whitby and St. Thomas.
In London, Canada Post estimates that it will convert 85,000 addresses to CMBs despite strong resistance from community members and CUPW local 566 members. The Londoners For Door to Door campaign has been ramping up its activity with weekly door-to-door canvassing, bus ads and plans for town hall meetings in the postal codes directly affected by the Canada Post pilot project in London.
Campaigners have been lobbying London City Council to set up a public consultation process that would look something like one that recently made recommendations to Montreal City Council in a 44-page report published earlier this year. Montreal unanimously voted in favour of the recommendations of its public commission. These are among the adopted resolutions:
- That the city consider all possible remedies to stop the implementation of community mail boxes;
- That the city refuse the implementation of the Five Points Plan of Canada Post and urges the Crown corporation to maintain home delivery in urban areas;
- That the City file a motion to intervene in federal court in connection with the appeal launched by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers;
By comparison London City Council seems to have taken their cue from the Canada Post plan. Among their resolutions:
- That Canada Post needs to work with communities to ensure that the locations of community mailboxes meet the community needs;
- That Canada Post is responsible for the upkeep of their infrastructure or compensate municipalities for this work;
Londoners For Door To Door began with disappointment and outrage over a survey that was sent by Canada Post to affected households.
"My feelings about (the survey) aren't fit for publication," said David Heap, one of the key organizers for Londoners4door2door. "As someone who works with survey methodology I can tell you that I read it and marked it up. It's a mess. It's not a real survey, it's a manipulative letter that doesn't give you any choices."
After receiving the survey Heap began to write letters.
"I wrote my councilor, I wrote the CUPW local, and it sort of took off from there," said Heap, who believes that "Canadians should be able to decide what kind of postal service they want and not be told by a corporation."
Since the start of campaigning, all manner of community members, activists and organizations have come on board. Every Saturday activists and postal workers gather at the CUPW local 566 office to get ready to canvas. The Council of Canadians London Chapter and the London District Labour Council have come on board in a meaningful way.
Community members and activists canvas door-to-door in partnership with CUPW workers who, prior to campaigning felt that "they'd had the shit kicked out of them by their employers," said Heap.
The campaign has also been tabling at the London Public Library, so community members who want to help but aren't able to go door-to-door can participate. It has also been visiting legions halls. "You want to see people who are pissed off? talk to the vets and the pensioners," said Heap.
CUPW workers are beginning to feel optimistic. Heap spoke of one letter carrier who said the campaign "is the first ray of hope we've seen since the announcement."
The shift to CMBs is not just about cuts to public services; it's also about job loss. The cuts will cost up to 8,000 public sector jobs.
"What the Harper government is doing is privatization by stealth," said London District Labour Council president Patti Dalton. "People are in a total uproar across the entire country."
According to Dalton municipalities are a significant source of resistance to Canada Post's plan. To date, more than 510 municipal councils have passed resolutions against Canada Post's service cuts and London campaigners expect more to follow suit.
"I find it interesting that, given the progressive sweep during our last municipal election, that the new [London] council isn't taking a more militant stance," said Dalton. "I think we're still in the process of educating them and lobbying them."
The labour council president has some sympathy for the new councilors, however. "A significant number of them are young. That's not an excuse but it will take time for them to land on their feet," she said.
Canada Post, on the other hand, has created a mythology that speaks to the need for cuts to door to door mail delivery. Despite having posted healthy profits each year since 2000 (except 2011 when they locked out workers) and $194 million in 2014 alone, Canada Post is claiming that the cuts are necessary so as not to become a burden on taxpayers. Since Canada Post is clearly profitable, it looks very much like the most prominent rationale for the service cuts -- the $400 million loss they forecast in 2013 -- was, at best, grossly exaggerated.
One thing is certain, however. People are resisting cuts to door to door delivery, and London For Door To Door campaigners are confident that it is entirely possible that door to door mail delivery can be saved, especially during an election year.

What is /r/shanghai?/r/shanghai is a community on the social bookmarking and news site Reddit that is dedicated to China's most populous city (and the largest city proper in the world): Shanghai.
The Shanghai subreddit was founded by tauon in 2010, it quickly became a repository for spam, and was eventually banned by Reddit's spam filter. However, kinggimped rescued the subreddit and worked to get /r/shanghai off the ground and active. Over the last two years the subreddit has gone from 4 subscribers to over 1,400 at the time of writing (figure correct as of March 2013).
In May 2012, Mob_King was added to the moderator roster in order to help out with the moderation duties as the subreddit continued to grow.
Subreddit rules
Main article: Subreddit rules
/r/shanghai is a pretty laid back place, but we do have a few general rules for new posters to consider. Check them out here.
Monthly meets
Main article: Monthly meets
The moderators of /r/shanghai arrange monthly meets, which usually take place on the 3rd or 4th Saturday of each month. Meets are a great place to meet fellow redditors in the city.
Meet threads are generally announced a week or two in advance, and are highlighted on /r/shanghai in green text. All are welcome to come along!
Purpose of this FAQ
/r/shanghai is an ever-growing community, and as is usually the case with regional subreddits, the same questions are often asked because users don't often search before posting. The most-asked questions in /r/shanghai are generally from people who are visiting the city and want to know which places are worth seeing, or where other redditors would recommend going out to eat or to enjoy Shanghai's nightlife. This FAQ aims to collate a lot of general Shanghai knowledge in order to help those with these kinds of general questions, as well as provide plenty of other helpful information such as useful Chinese phrases, notable cultural differences, common scams, etc.
If you have a topic that you think should be represented in the FAQ, please feel free to post a thread on /r/shanghai.

Look at these beautiful drawings of the forest near the school!
We were so fortunate to have our visiting artist last week, Ms. Le Uyen Pham.
She spoke with students from Pre-K to middle school about art, practice of drawing, being in the moment, and working hard to fulfill your goals. Some things she mentioned:
Procreate, an ipad app that she uses to draw.
Publishing your own work, which you can do here.
The Witch of Blackbird Pond and Mo Williams, big inspirations for her work and her reading.
Vietnamese Cinderella, as a culture shock.
See some photos of her visit here.

Last week I applied on-line at a temp agency near my home. I meant to call them to follow up, but I've been feeling crappy and haven't done it.
Just now I was looking in the yellow pages for a gift shop, and I stumbled across an ad for the temp agency I used to work for, years ago. I hadn't really considered them this time, because I live much further from them now, and really want local work. But their ad just screamed at me in bold letters, "Serving the Rte (rte very near me) & Rte (rte also very near me) areas". It seemed to be waving it's arms and yelling, "hey, you've done this before, it won't be scary, and you are MUCH more skilled than the first time! Do it! Do it!" So before I lost my nerve, I called them and set an appointment to see them tomorrow morning! I just hope I can keep my mood up.
Go, me!

Travelling during pregnancy can be daunting and stressful for you. However, if you have a normal and healthy pregnancy, you can travel safely. You need to follow some simple tips to keep yourself at ease and comfort while travelling during pregnancy.
Always remember to discuss your trip plans with your doctor sufficient time ahead so that your health care provider can guide you better.
Choose a perfect destination
When you are travelling for a holiday with your baby bump, it is important to pick the destination which is comfortable for you. Avoid travelling to the hill stations as it may cause exertion for you and the lack of sufficient oxygen at these hilly areas is also a matter of concern.
Keep your luggage light
It is always good to keep your luggage light in weight if you are travelling during pregnancy. Avoid carrying extra stuff which you feel is not that important for this trip. Carry comfortable items of clothings and footwears.
Research about the weather conditions
Before leaving for your trip, it is good if you check the current weather condition of your destination. If that temperature is not good for you, then you should reconsider your trip. As during pregnancy, geographical climate change plays a major role.
Carry necessary medicines and medical records
No one wants to get sick while travelling. Therefore, do not forget to carry your prescribed medicines and your medical records while travelling during pregnancy. They are important as during travel nausea, vomiting and fatigue can irritate you. Moreover, get yourself vaccinated with necessary vaccines, like Flu, Tetanus, etc. It is good to stay safe and healthy.
Keep yourself hydrated
Carry a bottle of water with you while travelling. A regular intake of fluid will keep you hydrated and fresh. This will also help to maintain the required energy level.
Eat Wisely
As you are not at your home, so it is good to eat wisely and be careful what you eat during your trip. You can pack some healthy snacks, or some fresh fruits, which can help you to have nutrition while on travel. Eating healthy and nutritious diet is also a key to the problem like how to get pregnant.
Do not avoid your Pee time
It is a very known fact that a pregnant lady feels to urinate more often and frequent due to the hormonal changes and the pressure on the urinary bladder. Therefore, never avoid your pee-time.
Ask for Help
Do ask for the help from others if it is needed. Let the travel manager know that you are pregnant so that he can do necessary arrangements to keep you comfortable. When you are in the hotel for your stay, ask for many pillows to use them for a comfortable sleep. Do not hesitate to ask for special needs.
Travelling during pregnancy is stressful, however, if you follow the above-mentioned tips, you can make your trip enjoyable and comfortable.
Happy Travelling!

It has come to our attention that not everyone knows how to entertain a woman, let alone an escort. So we thought we'd go to the trouble of giving you a few tips on how to handle yourself…
London escorts are generally lovely girls who love what they do and look forward to every meeting. However, this doesn't stop you making it extra special for them, does it? We've said time and time again that if you treat your girl right you will, in turn, be treated extra special yourself. So having established the benefits for you, let's see what you can do to make things a little nicer for your escort:
Don't be mean. We obviously don't mean "nasty," we know that you gentlemen aren't this type of client and we wouldn't allow this to happen anyway. What we mean is don't try to save money by eating out somewhere cheap and don't get the cheapest hotel room you can find. A little luxury goes a long way with a high-class escort. Imagine inviting one of our girls to a dingy hotel where your skin crawls at the very thought of sitting on the edge of the bed. This is particularly important if the girl you have chosen has decided to dress up for the occasion (or you have requested her to be dressed up of course).
Be attentive. When you meet your escort make sure she feels comfortable. Ask if there is anything you can do to make her more comfortable. Offer her a drink and let her choose what she wants. Treat you escort to an expensive dinner date and allow her time to choose anything she wants from the menu, make her feel as though you are wooing her and you want to make an impression. Being an attentive client is a sure way of allowing your escort to get to know you a little more, and there is nothing more than these girls want than the opportunity to get to know you.
Bring a gift. This is especially important if you are going along to the escort's incall apartment. A bottle of expensive wine or champagne will be very welcomed and it will also help lubricate the pair of you and allow you to be much more relaxed as you become better acquainted. Perfumes and jewellery are always welcome gifts too. However, if you're going to make these type of purchases please don't make them cheap and tacky, and whatever you do, if you are seeing a London escort in secret, ensure your purchases cannot be traced!
Look after her. This goes for everything you're doing on your booking. From what I've mentioned already about ordering at dinner and things like that, right down to the last detail like ensuring she gets home safely. It really doesn't take that much effort, and sometimes just the mere offering of assistance is enough to make another person realise that you actually care enough to take notice. This can include something as simple as holding a door open or perhaps calling a cab and making sure she gets in it safe and sound.
Remember that you can take this experience away with you, learn from it and perhaps use it in your other relationships. Who said we can't be helpful? A London escort may be very experienced at dealing with men, but these girls are also very human indeed and demand respect and attention; a simple look at the beauty that floods all over our gallery should tell you this much.

'Lamb' skeleton found on hills in Carlingford

'Lamb' skeleton found on hills in Carlingford
A hill runner came upon the skeleton of what he believes to be a lamb on Slieve Foye in Carlingford earlier today.
The man took the above photo of the skeleton and stated that he tried to contact local gardai to inform them in case a local farmer was concerned.
The skeleton looked as if it had been there for some time.
He also stated that he saw a number of half-eaten pigeons in the village itself near the tourist office car park, while he also added that he saw a stray dog "running around" the area.

Investigate this series further: Build your own CMS
>> Build your own CMS
While creating your own CMS is often considered an unnecessary undertaking, you might still be interested in making one. There are some very extensive CMS's out there like WordPress and Wix.com, and competing with these is probably a little too ambitious. But you can think smaller; maybe you want to build someone a website and give them the option to change some text whenever they please. Or maybe let them add an event to a customized agenda you made. WordPress might be too complicated for some people to use when keeping their website up to date. That's where your own simplified CMS can come in handy.

Health Care Reform is a Top Issue Concerning Americans
According to the latest wave of KJT Group's LightSource Poll, American adults are divided in their perceptions of the top issue facing the United States today. Choosing from a set of 12 items, 18% ranked health care reform as the most important issue, followed by terrorism (17%) and government effectiveness (12%). Focus has shifted since 2014, when terrorism, unemployment, and the national debt were most top-of-mind.
There is a partisan divide in the ranking of the top issue facing this country. In 2017, health care reform is the top issue among Democrats (23%) and terrorism is top for Republicans (24%). Health care reform was ranked as the top issue by only 13% of Republicans.
Only 1 in 10 American adults are very or extremely satisfied with the United States health care system and just 3 in 10 are similarly satisfied with their health plan, with no differences between Democrats and Republicans. Health care costs are a burden to many Americans, with more than one-third (35%) reporting their health insurance premiums increasing in the last 12 months and almost half (48%) expecting their out-of-pocket health care costs to increase in the next 12 months.
In a new series of questions ascertaining the importance of achieving the seven tenets of the Trump administration's original health reform plan, most were strongly supported (rated very critical or extremely critical) by at least one-third of all respondents. Of note, information that the ideas were associated with the Trump administration were not revealed to respondents.
In a follow-up question, we asked what best describes their current opinion of the Trump administration's plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. Only one-third (32%) felt somewhat or extremely positive about the plan, driven primarily by registered Democrats (14% feeling somewhat or extremely positive compared with 65% of Republicans and 27% of Independents).
Information challenges coupled with strong partisan support is evidenced by our findings. Despite relatively strong, bilateral support on numerous dimensions of health care reform, attaching those ideas to the Trump administration seemingly is unacceptable for some constituents.
The LightSource Poll was conducted among 1,000 United States residents (18 years or older) between August 2 and August 7, 2017 and September 24 and September 30, 2014. These were non-probability, stratified samples, collected via web-based interviews. As such, margin of error cannot be accurately estimated. The LightSource employs stratified sampling, focusing on key factors such as age, gender, household income, and U.S. geographic region to help ensure national representation.

Stan Lee Is Suing His Former Business Manager
Stan "The Man" Lee, Marvel Comics' showman and co-creator of most of the characters you can't see a movie without nowadays, has been having a very non-Excelsior! time lately. 95-year-old Stan recently turned down an offer from famed comics geek Kevin Smith to come live with him due to a rumor that his daughter J.C. Lee and her associates had been abusing him, which he denied in a video. He's also claimed to have been the victim of financial misdealings with a former business manager, who he says stole $300,000 from him, bought an $850,000 condo with Stan's money, and allegedly STOLE HIS BLOOD FOR SOME KIND OF WACKY SOUVENIR PEN SCAM! I'm as big a comic book geek as the next guy, but there's no need for anyone's blood as a souvenir unless you really, rally want to commemorate having murdered them. Crazy.
Well, Stan would appear to be rallying himself after these setbacks and a lawsuit was filed against the allegedly vampiric former business manager Jerardo Olivarez in L.A. Superior Court this week.
According to Deadline:
A former business associate of Lee's daughter, the suit claims Olivarez took control of Lee's professional and financial affairs — and began enriching himself through various schemes and bogus enterprises.
Stan's wife of 70 years, Joan, passed away last year and he's claiming that Olivarez took advantage of his grief.
It's a tangled web we weave when first we practice to pull a grift on an elderly millionaire. It was previously alleged that J.C. Lee's attorney Kirk Schenck, Olivarez, and a man named Keya Morgan were the three people conspiring to bilk J.C. out of her trust fund. Stan denied that he's being abused in a couple of videos shot by Morgan and threatened to sue anybody saying otherwise in the second one. And now he's saying, via this lawsuit, that Olivarez is the real villain here. We're going to need Professor X and Dr. Strange to combine mutant mental telepathy with sorcery to figure out this mess!
The suit states that it was only days after Joan Lee's death that Olivarez "and others" (hmmm) fired Stan's longtime business manager and transferred $4.6 million of his money out of the bank. Olivarez also allegedly convinced Stan to sign his power of attorney over to Olivarez's lawyer. It's also alleged that Olivarez's "donated" the money to a fake charity.
Lee was duped into donating $300,000 to a bogus charity, the Hands of Respect, which Olivarez claimed was a non-profit organization working to promote racial harmony, the suit claims. The company is actually registered as a for-profit merchandising company.
"Olivarez misled Lee and the public into thinking that it was a caring non-profit charity to ease racial tension, when in reality, Hands of Respect was just a scheme to appropriate funds from Lee and the public to enrich Olivarez," the suit alleges.
This "charity" is allegedly the organization selling Stan Lee's blood in Las Vegas, according to the aforementioned "family friend" and videographer Keya Morgan. Except it sounds like the pen scheme was abandoned in favor of merely stamping issues of Black Panther WITH HIS BLOOD.
"There are shops in Las Vegas selling Stan Lee's blood," said a family friend, Keya Morgan. "They're stamping his blood inside the Black Panther comic books and they sell them for $500 each."
The suit also ups the $300,000 Stan previously claimed Olivarez stole from him to $1.4 million.
Kevin Smith's offer must sound really nice to Stan about now. Get out of HELL A, and go live with a guy who worships you, Stan. Kevin probably has a whole Marvel Comics-themed guesthouse that you could live in. And, if you're still allowed to drive at 95, you could probably borrow the Spider-Mobile that Kevin most likely had built for himself. Yes, there was actually a Spider-Mobile at one point in the comics due to a toy demand. A dude whose primary mode of transportation was swinging from buildings was supposed to nix that to sit in traffic all day just to plug a shitty toy? Ridiculous.
