made a sumptuous, delightful chorizo lobster valentine dinner for wife this evening on 14.2.2018. ^^
last year in 2017, i did a fine chinese/fusion valentine dinner. lobster in superior stock & mini pencai 盆菜 etc… 🙂
our newly wed daughter asked if she & her hubby could join dinner. i told her to ask my wife. i knew what the answer would be.
Valentine Dinner Menu
we had 4-5 dishes this evening for 4pax-
1 pumpkin salad
2 pan-seared hokkaido
3 teriyaki cod
4 chorizo lobster
5 paella mixta
later after dinner, daughter & her hubby shared with us what they had for the last few valentine day dinners, like some edible tomato pasta, some other not so edible stuff, finally graduating to a nice instant noodles last year…ie hoping to get themselves invited next year…lol! ^^
i made a nice pumpkin salad, my wife's recipe. australian butternut squash (20mins in oven), with rockets & cherry tomatoes in extra virgin olive oil, balsamic & some agave nectar. refreshing & tasty, simply excellent!
roasted miso cod very good this evening, and nice, plump hokkaido scallops pan-seared… 🙂
firm, flaky, oily & flavourful, bits nicely charred, a whole dining experience, an excellent rendition of nobu miso cod! ^^
the scallops were nicely pan-charred in a bit of gourmet butter, sea salt & black pepper. sweet, plump, tasty.
the highlight of the dinner was chorizo lobster.
i made a very good chorizo prawns, so it was just making a delightful tasting stock, with 12 slices of chorizo, whole bulb of browned garlic cloves in olive oil, sweet basil, white wine, intense chicken stock, and reduced to a very very tasty stock.
then added red pepper to add to the colours & taste, and lightly braised, steamed the lobster for few minutes so the right, bouncy texture, and just cooked. & then garnished with sweet basil.
a beauty to behold & an excellent tasting dish. ^^
paella mixta was very tasty with the intense stock, prawns, squid & pan-grilled chicken all added to the flavours for a very tasty dish.
it was not as good as the superb paella mixta i made recently for the 10pax tapas + pasta dinner for my RI budddies….
still, looked nice enough, very tasty because of the stock, sotong were good, prawns were ok…
for the dinner preparation, basically just my nobu miso cod recipe.
pan-seared hokkaido scallops with butter, seasalt, black pepper on a non-stick pan.
2 small 370g frozen boston lobsters from phoon huat, cut in halves & pincers & legs shelled.
small but enough for 4pax, 1/2 lobsters + pincers each…
just braised (steamed in covered pan) lightly for few minutes will do.
paella was 80% done, about 9mins in a 210degC oven..
basically olive oil, whole bulb of garlic cloves browned & softened, chorizo, 1/2 onion, whatever veg available (i used brocoli steams), a bit of salt, then added carnaroli rice to fry, then added intense chicken stock, boiled & place in oven with the green, red, yellow peppers on top. a bit of tumeric, 1/4tsp…
nice to look at..
& i had browned chicken thighs to add.
when serving, add chicken stock, boil & reduce to cook the rice & cover the pan to steam the prawns & sotong.

|After some introductory remarks on the dynamical evolution of the Galactic disk, we review mechanisms which may affect the velocities of disk stars: stochastic heating, adiabatic heating or cooling, and deflections. We present in some detail a dynamical interpretation of the observed velocity distribution of nearby stars by the diffusion of stellar orbits in velocity space. Finally we comment on the stability of the Galactic disk and discuss the consequences of the diffusion process for the orbit of the Sun.

Biography - Samuel Glassford
SAMUEL M. GLASSFORD, one of the most successful business men of Elvira Township, Johnson County, was born in Indiana County, Pa., November 15, 1825. His father, George Glassford, was born in Ohio of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He followed the blacksmith trade in Ohio for some time, having served an apprenticeship in Zanesville. Upon going to Indiana County, Pa., he established himself in business as a blacksmith and was married to Elizabeth Wolfe in the year 1824. Her parents, John and Elizabeth Wolfe, resided there about ten years, when they removed to Mason County, Ky. He opened a shop at May's Lick and remained there until 1841.
During that year Mr. Glassford removed to Johnson County, Ill., accompanied by his wife and four children, namely: Elizabeth J., Samuel M., John W. and Abraham D. He made the removal on the river to Copeland's Landing and thence by team to what is now Elvira Township, where he purchased of Samuel Copeland a tract of land on section 34. At this time a few acres had been cleared and a log house erected, which constituted all the improvements on the place. Thenceforward he devoted his time to agriculture and resided upon his farm until 1846, when he rented the place and removed to St. Louis. There he was engaged for a short time in Belcher & Bro.'s sugar refinery and remained in that place until his death, in 1847.
Samuel M. Glassford was eight years old when his parents removed to Kentucky. He attended school in that State as opportunity offered, remaining there until 1841, when he came to Illinois with his parents. At that time Johnson County was sparsely settled and much of the land was still owned by the Government. In Vienna Township there were but a few houses. Vienna itself was but a hamlet, and the court house and jail were built of logs. Mr. Glassford went to St. Louis in 1849 and entered the employ of Belcher & Bro., sugar refiners. After remaining there for a few years he purchased their coal mining interest and teams and engaged in the coal business.
In 1860 Mr. Glassford sold an interest in the business to his brother John and retired to his farm in Elvira Township. He had inherited a part of the old homestead and bought the interest of the other heirs. He has resided on the farm since that time. A very successful farmer, he purchased different tracts of land until at one time he owned about fifteen hundred acres. He still owns about eight hundred acres, and his buildings and other improvements rank with the best in the county. About 1861 Mr. Glassford formed a partnership with his brother John and erected a flour and woolen mill in Vienna, put in the necessary machinery and bought a supply of wool, but before the mill was started it was burned down with all its contents, causing a loss of about $40,000 with no insurance.
In 1846 our subject married Elizabeth Jones, a native of Johnson County, and a daughter of James and Elizabeth Jones. His second marriage occurred in 1851, and united him with Juliet Jones, who was born in Vienna Township July 30, 1830. Her father, James Jones, was born in Virginia, and was one of the pioneers of Johnson County, Ill. He was a minister of the Free Will Baptist denomination. He established his home in Vienna Township and cleared a farm, where he resided until his death. Mrs. Glassford was educated in the primitive schools of the days of her youth. Her father raised sheep, cotton, flax and hemp. Her mother made all the clothing used in the family and instructed her daughters in the then useful arts of carding, spinning and weaving. The family consisted of twelve children, six boys and six girls, of whom Mrs. Glassford was the youngest. She lived with her parents until their death, then resided with her brother until her marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Glassford have three children living, namely: Josephine, wife of Dr. R. M. McCall, a successful physician of Vienna; Charles A., of whom a biographical sketch appears elsewhere in this volume; and Mary E., wife of Theodore B. Williams, of Jonesboro. In their religious convictions, Mr. and Mrs. Glassford are members of the Christian Church. Mr. Glassford is a Prohibitionist and a stanch advocate of all that is uplifting and progressive. He was elected in 1874 to the State Senate of Illinois from the Fifty-first District, composed of the counties of Pulaski, Massac, Johnson, Pope and Hardin.
Extracted 16 Dec 2016 by Norma Hass from 1893 Biographical Review of Johnson, Massac, Pope, and Hardin Counties, Illinois, pages 302-303.

A brand new Rocket League update is heading out later today to all platforms, meaning PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Rocket League Update 1.32 is said to be a small update, and we don't have patch notes just yet, but watch for it to arrive around 6pm Eastern Time, no matter what platform you're playing on.
This update was announced by Psyonix on the official Rocket League twitter account with few details. All that they say is that it will be small, so don't expect big changes, even when the patch notes are released. What update 1.32 is about is likely issues that have been discovered since the Dropshot update was released earlier this month.
Dropshot was a massive patch for Rocket League, delivering a brand new game mode, ending competitive Season 3, starting Season 4, and changing the ranking structure behind the game. Any time a lot of changes are made in a single update like this there are bound to be problems that get discovered only once it is in the hands of millions of players. Psyonix likely spotted a few and has put this patch out to address them.
Rocket League developer Psyonix has been praised throughout the gaming community for their support of the game. Starting life as a very unknown sequel to an even more unknown PS3 game, Rocket League has quickly become one of the biggest and most popular games in the world. Hundreds of thousands play the game every single day, and tens of millions of copies have been sold, either via the free PlayStation Plus period or afterward.
Rocket League has developed this massive audience largely off of word of mouth from other fans, and because they've done a great job of issuing new DLC and patches in a very nice way. Paid DLC is reasonably priced and the new crate system is fun and full of cosmetic only items.

Do you have the digital and technical skills employers are looking for?
As shown in this compelling infographic, Internships.com and General Assembly have new data for those graduates entering the workforce; specifically, the skills employers demand as they hand-pick the best of available new talent.
After reviewing the data, the question must be asked:
Should colleges & universities be doing more to prepare their students for today's workforce?
- When it comes to digital and technical skills, only 44% of students feel well prepared or very prepared
- 31% of students said their schools don't encourage the development of digital or technical skills
- 52% said more practical skills development should be required
However, through self-learning, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. As Internships.com says:
"There is reason for optimism and through more exposure to relevant digital and technical skills via online and offline courses, both through formal and informal environments, students can take steps to bridge the skills gap on their own. 79% of employers consider nontraditional credentials when evaluating candidates for entry-level positions; indeed, 40.5% would consider digital badges, certificates from open courseware, or certifications in relevant skills in place of a bachelor's degree."
For more on the digital and technical skills gap, take a look at the infographic below, and see more insight from Internships.com and General Assembly here.

because online meetings are EXHAUSTING
I had two mental health meetings today (not unusual, this often happens) but somehow, having to do them via telehealth was so much more draining than usual. Whether it was the lag time in the technology, or just my feelings of lack of privacy and security, I hated it. Haaaaaated it. But … it's our best option while the pandemic lasts.
I fell over for a small nap, woke up for dinner when the hoon across the road roared off… and now it's time for podcasts and maybe an audiobook chapter.
Maybe tomorrow will be more productive.
Remember, no matter how tired you are, wash your hands, and don't forget to eat,

Amir Khan's own trainer has told him he must change his attitude to boxing if he wants his potential superfight with Floyd Mayweather to be a success.
Khan was ringside in Las Vegas on Saturday to watch Mayweather take his record to 45-0 by beating Saul Alvarez and has been touted as the American's potential next opponent if he takes Devon Alexander's IBF welterweight title in December.
But Virgil Hunter, who has been in Khan's corner for his last two fights, believes the Bolton man has to take his boxing more seriously, and learn from Mayweather, if he is to seriously trouble the pound-for-pound king when he next enters the ring in May 2014.
MORE: Mitchell eyes world title shot
'If he is going to be really competitive, he has to show the same dedication and desire Floyd Mayweather shows. If he doesn't he will have a tough night' warned Hunter.
'Amir has a lot of potential and a lot of ability and he has to maximise what he has and make it his priority if he wants to be great. You can't take months off boxing, running here and there, and think you can come into an eight-week camp and perform at the best of your ability.
'You have to live the life. I am not afraid to tell him that because I am trying to get the best out of him. If he changes his ideas and really commits to boxing and really becomes driven to be great in the sport, then I think he could grow very quickly.'

Boston talk radio king Howie Carr tells Breitbart News that Adnan Fazeli, the Iranian refugee who left the United States to fight and die for ISIS, proves that Donald Trump's speech on Monday calling for "extreme vetting" of refugees before they are allowed to resettle in this country is on target.
"This guy is a poster boy for Donald Trump's call for 'extreme vetting,'" Carr says of Fazeli, who was killed fighting for ISIS in Lebanon in 2015.
"By the testimony of his own brother, he hated this country, even though his daughter was saved by American medical treatment that he paid nothing for, and then, when he immigrated here permanently, with an advanced college degree, he instead chose to go on welfare and never sought a job," Carr adds.
Fazeli, his wife, and three daughters came to the United States as political refugees in 2008. They were initially resettled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but in 2009 they moved to Maine, where Adnan Fazeli's older brother, Dr. Jabbar Fazeli, works as a medical doctor.
As Breitbart News reported, Dr. Fazeli informed the FBI of his brother's ISIS enlistment in 2014.
On Wednesday, Maine Gov. Paul LePage's office announced he will be "launching a review of all 'refugee-related' programs in his state to see if the taxpayer-funded benefits should be scrapped after officials revealed a slain ISIS fighter received welfare while living in the Pine Tree State."
"We've got to stop this insane 'refugee' policy, not ramp it up, the way Hillary wants to do," Carr tells Breitbart News.
Maine's LePage, who has endorsed Donald Trump, is actively investigating the number of refugees in his state who are on welfare, the Boston Herald reports:
Maine officials said Fazeli was on food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families for at least four years until 2013, when he left for Turkey. Fazeli became radicalized over the internet while living in the U.S., according to an affidavit from a state police detective.
The episode has left LePage "embarrassed" and prompted criticisms from Maine Republicans, including U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, who slammed the Obama administration for pursuing a "dangerous Middle East immigration and refugee policy."
A LePage spokeswoman said the administration has "many active investigations" that involve immigrants receiving state benefits, including ones of "potential criminal activity."
"The governor has asked for a complete review and evaluation of any refugee-related programs administered by Maine," said Sam Edwards, a spokeswoman for the state's Department of Health and Human Services. The review, she said, will help "determine whether the state should continue participating."
Howie Carr thinks LePage is on the right track.
"The liberals will say, well, the terrorist's brother turned out to be a good citizen. They'll say 50 percent of the Fazeli brothers didn't go on welfare and join ISIS. True, but that's not nearly a high enough percentage of success for a society already teetering on the edge of the abyss because of this endless, unlimited immigration from the Third World," Carr tells Breitbart News.
"We have got to close the borders!" Carr concludes.
Michael Patrick Leahy spoke with Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily Thursday about the case of Adnan Fazeli. You can hear that interview here:

I started this project MANY years ago after I bought the doll from an Op Shop. I thought he had the most angelic look about him, so of course he had to become one.
I had already completed his shoes and gown out of really soft fabric, and the wings were already purchased. All he needed was some underthings and the wings attached. The problem was that his arms turn outward so any clothes need to have enormous armholes! Not such a problem for the gown, but the underthings were a little more difficult.
I hunted through my books to find a solution, and the Doll Dressmaker was full of ideas. I thought a onesie would work best, but how do I reduce the bulk at the back and shoulders, while allowing for the arms?? Make it like an overall, with a bib and brace style front. Worked a treat!! With some careful planning I managed to hide all the Velcro stitching into the lining and even put a little lace on the hems! Took the best part of this afternoon, but worth it, I think.
Since I made an extra special effort in my neatness, he will go in for judging at this years Canning Show.....

text: Add comment A guide to renting in Shanghai Eight tips you need to know to find a great place on a budget Posted: Thursday April 5 2012 Time Out talks to renters, landlords and estate agents to present eight tips you need to know before you start your search for the ideal home 1 Hit the streets Don't limit your search to the easiest portals for entry-level househunters: sure, SmartShanghai and Craigslist can throw up some gems. But, remember; only a fraction of the apartments available in this city are posted online. Henry at Carveout Property, says that 'if a property is online, it's probably been on the market for a while.' Usually, he adds, these properties are there because of a landlord's over-ambitious pricing, specifically aimed at people who are new in town. Instead, find an area you like and scout around. Walk-ins to high-street agents are usually more fruitful, and, while not totally risk free, more soberly priced, too. 2 Love thy agent... Most of the thousands of letting agents in Shanghai are from surrounding provinces; few earn more than 1,500RMB/month; and all are chasing hard-fought-for commissions. Dealing with them requires a balance of patience and caution. The best way to work with agents, says Seri, from Apartment in Shanghai, is to be super-specific about what you want. 'If you tell me "anywhere in the French Concession,"' she says, 'the list is endless.' Also remember that most agents will give up on you after showing you five or six places if they think they've met your initial criteria. Being direct and clear about what you want will limit the potential for wasted visits to dud apartments. Street names, metro lines and a specific budget are a minimum before you speak to an agent. 3 ...but not too much Some agents will ask questions which, on the face of it, sound like small talk: how long have you been in Shanghai? Do you have friends here? How many places have you seen already? What's your deadline for finding somewhere? This is usually to gauge your hold of the market and try to exploit any naivety. Be assertive and bring pictures of places you've seen if necessary. Time-poor, freshoff-the-boaters can expect a long tour of less-than savoury places at bloated prices to create a false impression of the market in order to make a mediocre apartment seem comparatively livable. 4 Be realistic Yes, we've all heard the story about a friend of a friend of a friendwho found this amazing 100sqm converted warehouse space on Yongfu Lu for 2,000RMB last year. Even if it's true, the market has changed, and rents have soared. Using a friend's place as a benchmark for what to expect is seriously hazardous. 'For a long time, Shanghai rent was increasing ten per cent year on year,' says Kevin at Dooioo on Anfu Lu. 'But last year it was more like 20, sometimes 25 per cent in the good areas such as French Concession and south Jingan.' That means what you could reasonably expect for 4,000RMB last year – a decent-standard, one-bed in a good location, say – is more like 5,000RMB now. 5 Sell yourself All landlords have had at least one rogue renter. Most would rather let to a reliable tenant at a small discount than a potential trouble-maker at top whack. At most viewings, the landlord will be present. Dress smart, address them in Chinese if you can and always offer to take off your shoes. If you like a place, be sociable– tell them about yourself, your job, how your party days are behind you, and that work takes up most of your time – but, a golden rule, never appear overly keen: 'If the landlord sees you're really happy,' says Alex from Zeal Property on Huaihai Lu. 'It's harder to negotiate.' 6 Find out about the landlord For the most part, landlords here will own just one extra property and are exercising their right to let their family nest-egg. Even so, make enquiries about an apartment's ownership and try and get the gist of the landlord's character. 'I almost took a 92sqm one-bedroom, but I had doubts about the landlord,' says one house-hunter we spoke to, 30-year-old Winnie, who says she saw over 40 places on her recent search. 'It turned out he was probably a gangster; he ran a "KTV bar" around the corner.' 7 Bargain As competition at the bottom end of the market is so fierce, major climb-downs on rent are rarer than, say, mid-range rentals (6-10,000RMB) where margins for negotiation are broader. That said, it's always worth a try. For the most part, the agent will do the bidding for you (especially for non-Chinese speakers), but if you like a place, linger as long as possible, be thorough in your checks, ask lots of questions and be personable (see 'Sell yourself', above). Landlords, who are likely to be present at viewings, are much more likely to engage in serious negotiations if they've invested an hour or so of time in a viewing. 8 Ask for extras As noted, sizeable, lifestyle-altering reductions in rent are rare. But, if the landlord isn't budging, there are a number of extras worth asking for: microwaves, convection ovens, new curtains, mattresses and even electrical goods like DVD players and flat-screen TVs are common sweeteners. Other tenants we've spoken to have been given discounts for promises not to cook too much and not needing a fapiao can lower the rent by up to 15 per cent. Paying cash sometimes helps too.

This is my most recent, 'can't part with' vintage item.
It makes me want to bake teeny tiny sweet delicacies for when the vicar comes round. I'm not sure which of those scenarios is the most unlikely but you know what I mean!
Does anybody know why this has the raised fluted sides when these little cake stands are normally more like plates? I'd be intrigued to hear.

Blurb: Sarah Carpenter lives in an isolated farmhouse in North Yorkshire and for the first time, after the death of her husband some years ago and her children, Louis and Kitty, leaving for university, she's living alone. But she doesn't consider herself lonely. She has two dogs, a wide network of friends and the support of her best friend, Sophie.
When an old acquaintance, Aiden Beck, needs somewhere to stay for a while, Sarah's cottage seems ideal; and renewing her relationship with Aiden gives her a reason to smile again. It's supposed to be temporary, but not everyone is comfortable with the arrangement: her children are wary of his motives, and Will Brewer, an old friend of her son's, seems to have taken it upon himself to check up on Sarah at every opportunity. Even Sophie has grown remote and distant.
After Sophie disappears, it's clear she hasn't been entirely honest with anyone, including Will, who seems more concerned for Sarah's safety than anyone else. As the weather closes in, events take a dramatic turn and Kitty too goes missing. Suddenly Sarah finds herself in terrible danger, unsure of who she can still trust.
But she isn't facing this alone; she has Aiden, and Aiden offers the protection that Sarah needs. Doesn't he?
Sarah Carpenter lives on her own in a big farmhouse where she is still dealing with the fall out after her husbands death. So when Aiden, an old friend messages her on Facebook for a place to stay she jumps at the chance because for her it is a life-line. But when her best friend Sophie becomes distant and Will Brewer, an old school friend of Sarah's son, starts acting strangely, Sarah realises that she is never alone and underneath the remote wilds of Yorkshire evil lurks.
A chilling page-turning!
I absolutely adored this book. This story is full of bone-curdling creepy drama which I couldn't stop reading. I felt the author came into her own by bringing the creepy and atmospheric setting to life for me in the novel. I loved the descriptions of the harsh and claustrophobic Yorkshire landscape which hindered the characters and added something sinister and somewhat special to the novel.
The novel is told from the point of view of Sarah, Aiden and also features a disturbing point of view in italics showing snippets of a character who is slowly unraveling – I won't tell you who it is and whether they are already a POV character as that's part of the fun of it! What I will say is that I did spend a lot of my time guessing who the 'creepy' POV character as I was forever changing my mind. It also really brought out the tension and unsettled me as a reader which is always good in my books.
This novel only has a very small cast of characters which really packs a punch. I enjoyed reading about Sarah who is an ordinary woman struggling to cope with the financial burden of a husband who has left her with a lot of debt but also loved Aiden who has a very secret and unusual job. I found myself gripped by both their stories and the relationship between the two characters kept me glued to the page.
The last half of the novel really ratcheted up the tension for me where the author continually revealed disturbing truth after truth while still managing to keep up the claustrophobic and haunting atmosphere – it had me gripped and gasping aloud over two days! I will now be checking out more of Elizabeth's other novels.
This is a chilling, pulse-raising read full of tension, pace with a number of twists and surprises you won't see coming. I would definitely recommend this to all crime fans who love a dark and disturbing read.
With thanks to Emma Dowson and Myriad Editions Publishers for my advanced review copy.

New Steam Update Highlights Game Updates And Add-Ons
A new update to Steam launched today that is going to help developers get the word out easier about their updates to their games to the players. Along with this update, there is also more on the developer's side of things; the update allows for the developers to time release their updates to their games as well as convey to the player what the update entails.
The goal of this update is to let players know which games are still being supported by the developers so they know their money was well spent. It can also help prospective buyers make the decision to buy the game and instill the same faith in them that their investment is worth it.
Another feature of this update adds a page in Steam that allows for the player to see all the recent updates of games they've purchased or activated.

Don't Let a Fear Of Ruin Keep You From Living Your Life.
If you're like most people who live with this fear, you probably wonder if you can ever be rid of it. After 10 years working with people with the most severe phobias, we know that – for anyone who is determined – fear of ruin can always be overcome.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:
- Fear of ruin better or gone in as little as a day
- Complete confidentiality and privacy
- Clients in over 70 countries around the world

• Go at Your Own Speed in the Privacy of Your Home
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Individual Program Created Specifically for You by Your Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Wide range of Proven Techniques to Eradicate Your Fear
Getting rid of Fear of Ruin: How It Works
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. On the surface, you know that this business with ruin or ruins doesn't make sense. But it affects you because your unconscious mind has associated ruin or ruins with fear and perhaps a bunch of other negative emotions and they get triggered automatically – like clockwork – every time.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We're here to give you give you what you need to take back control. Isn't it time you took control?
Process to Overcome Fear of Ruin: Treatment Versus Cure
Would you be surprised to learn that this system is not a treatment or a cure? The key to this program is knowing that you are the one who will be making the changes. We are here purely to teach, and to hold your hand as you walk through the procedure that enables you to make it happen.
This process has proven procedures for overcoming rage, fear, depression, remorse and feelings of apprehension and helps you gain self-assurance, peace and happiness. You know what living with your fear has done to your quality of life. You can't live your life in fear anymore – it's time to change.
Where Your Fear of Ruin Comes From
In most cases, Fear Of Ruin (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. In some cases, the mind has seemingly, without basis, created the fear. You resolve this issue by discovering the source and trading the negative correlations with positive ones. People who are at the greatest risk include:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• If you are jittery, edgy, sensitive, nervous
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency
Do you feel as if even one of these represents you? You can see testimonials from individuals who know our our capability to make a difference.
Would you like to read about us in the media instead?
The Warning Signs You Should be Looking For
You can use our two minute Fear of Ruin Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- By simply thinking about Ruin Or Ruins, do you become woozy?
- Do you instantly get dry mouth and moist palms?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs feel as if they will give way?
Those are just a few of the symptoms. Read more on the symptoms of fear of ruin.
Not only do we deal with the symptoms, we locate the foundation. That's why we're here
Pills and Medication
The use of drugs and medication for Fear of Ruin is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to ruin or ruins.
No drug has ever been developed specifically for Fear Of Ruin, by the way – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.
The good news is with our program, your Fear Of Ruin will be history, without resorting to meds..

The following tidbits are provided based on my personal experience, reading of the passport rules and frequent travels to Jamaica. Denise J. McCallaCreary, CEO, JAANC.
Jamaican Passport Renewal
Recently there has been some questions about the renewal of Jamaican passports. Based on my personal experience with renewing passports via the Jamaican Embassy in Washington D.C., I recommend anyone in need of this service, do it on a visit to Jamaica. The passport office in Kingston is quite efficient in processing passports. They will even expedite processing for an additional fee. My experience with passports processed via the Embassy in Washington D.C. is it takes a very long time, it is almost impossible to get someone to answer the phone if you have a question and the pictures taken here never seem to meet the criteria required by Passport office in Kingston. As a result, the pictures get returned a number of times which delays the processing of your passport.
Jamaican Passport and U.S. Passport
The Jamaican government allows Jamaicans born in Jamaica who become a U.S. citizen to keep Jamaican citizenship and you can also retain a Jamaican passport. The U.S. government does not allow you to retain your Jamaican passport and normally direct you turn it in when you become a U.S. citizen. This is a U.S. government requirement, not Jamaican government. If you elect to keep your Jamaican passport but you enter Jamaica on a U.S. passport, you then become a visitor in Jamaica and normally given a specific length to stay. If you wish to stay in Jamaica for an indefinite length of stay, you need to enter Jamaica on a Jamaican passport.
Jamaican Passports for Children of Jamaicans born in the U.S.
Children born in the US of Jamaican parents are eligible for a Jamaican passport. The first part of the process entails obtaining Jamaican Citizenship papers. Once you have obtained the Citizenship certificate, you can then apply for a Jamaican passport. Applications for Citizenship are processed by the : Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency
25 Constant Spring Road, Kingston 10, Jamaica W. I.
Tel: +876 – 906 1497 or +876 906 4474
Passport processing information, citizenship information can be found on the internet by visiting the Jamaica Information Service Website, various Consular General sites, Jamaica Customs site, etc.
Note: Northern California has an Honorary Consul General position. This is an appointed position by the Jamaican government. Unlike a Consul position, appointed Honorary Consul Generals are not paid positions. The position is currently held by Dr. Newton Gordon. Dr. Gordon will answer questions and advise you in the processing of Jamaican documents. His contact information is at our website www.jaanc.org. Most forms and information are now available on line. Jamaicans who must travel on Jamaican passports are reminded to keep passports current so you meet your needs to travel for emergencies such as funerals etc.
Returning Residents
In order to establish your eligibility as a returning resident you must visit the Returning Resident unit at the Jamaica Customs Department with certain documentation. Additionally, they will provide you all the information, rules and timelines required to make a smooth transition to return to live permanently in Jamaica. Failure to do so could result in loss of entitlements at a great expense to you.

Throw blankets are a great way to incorporate color, pattern, texture, and style into your decor. Whether it's a light cotton throw during the spring or summer months, or a heavier cashmere or wool blanket for those chillier seasons, they serve both form and function in a space.
But many don't know how to style their throw blankets without making it look messy. Do you toss it, drape it, tuck it, or just keep it out of sight? Think of a throw blanket like you would an accessory to an outfit. It's meant to compliment your style and complete the overall look. Accounting for the material of your blanket and the look you want to convey, opt for either a casual drape or a structured fold. Simply drape it on the edge of your bed or the arm of a sofa for that "easy chic" look. Great for families where kids will be constantly using them, draping a throw takes seconds and still looks stylish. If you'd like something a little cleaner looking, try folding the blanket lengthwise and placing it down the center of an accent chair with a throw pillow placed on top of it. This can help inject a sophisticated stripe of color and also lend some layered appeal.

Children play a role in planning: Eighty percent of respondents said they talk about travel with their Generation Alpha child or grandchild at least somewhat frequently, and 43 percent said that these children influence family travel decisions. Generation Alphas are most likely to influence the destination chosen (64 percent) and the activities on the trip (57 percent) — though adults make the final decisions.
Family travel decisions are shaped by multiple channels: For most families, the travel planning process is a collaborative one — but children and their parents and grandparents are obviously influenced by different messaging. According to their parents and grandparents, imagery or information that show kid-friendly activities and attractions and travel-related imagery or information they see on television have the most sway over these younger travelers. Meanwhile, parents and grandparents are most likely to make their decisions based on travel review sites and online travel agencies, recommendations from family, friends, and colleagues, and search engine results. In order to appeal to both older and younger groups, messaging should contain appealing imagery, deals, and informative content, but should also be interactive and highlight fun and entertainment.

This week took a look at the plant kingdom; with a special focus on flowering plants.
We made a trip outside to learn about using field guides to identify trees and flowers.
We then talked about monocots and eudicots/dicots.
We learned that flowers are made up of 4 whorls (or parts) which could be more clearly seen when we dissected a lily.
Using our new information we then build a perfect (also complete) flower.
Is this lily complete? incomplete? perfect? imperfect?

Disc Golf and Beer
Latest work for Utah Outdoor Adventure journal for an article on disc golf. I couldn't resist putting in the cliche golf clothes, which I think also help people unfamiliar with disc golf understand what's going on in the scene; specifically that it's not frisbee. Just for fun, I've included a couple of my thumbnail sketches below.

So, I was surprised this lame duck Congress saved physicians from the SGR. I already commented on that already, but I hadn't seen this article painting the AMA as ungrateful and pressed on both sides (H/T Kevin, MD), seeing as the stop gap for the SGR cut has some P4P/Quality Reporting steps in it.
Its my view that the AMA has been might concessionary on pay for performance. Even that has drawn some "blow back" as the article says, from other physician groups.
But for pouting about the reimbursement consequences of the Sustained Growth Rate formula and Pay-for-Performance, maybe what we really should be worrying about is the MMA's "trigger" spending cuts. A critical executive summary of the trigger is found at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The MMA called for the Medicare Trustees to compile a report on the financial condition of Medicare every year using a new measurement – how much of Medicare spending was financed with general revenues (aka income taxes). Most people think of Medicare as "self funding" – you pay a payroll tax for it, and enrollees pay a premium (which are now progressive for Part B). Those incomes don't nearly rise up to meet the cost of Medicare which must be supplied with revenue from general income taxes every year to pay for the health of this country's elder generations.
For whatever reason, the author's of the MMA decided that when Medicare recieved >45% of its funding from general revenue, it was a bad sign. For the first time ever, in March of this year, the Trustees identified that this scenario had been met. If it happens two years in a row the MMA requires Congress and The President to present a timely budgetary solution. And while it doesn't lay out the specific fix; the fix could involve reduction in benefits for enrollees or fee cuts for physicians and other health care entities.
I'm not totally sure what to make of this. No politician wants to cut benefits considering this may seriously be the most powerful lobby in the country, just so that Medicare comes in under some arbitrary general revenue funding number. And the seeming vagueness of the requirement wonders if Congress will be able to prompt itself to effective action.
Still it is an interesting provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act which I had never heard of. And one we should definitely be keeping an eye on.

Hampshire Constabulary is committed to the aim of creating a diverse police service, which reflects the community it serves. In doing so we welcome applicants from multi-cultural communities, applicants with disabilities and applicants from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities.
Equality and Inclusion is the golden thread that runs throughout everything Hampshire Constabulary does. The actual responsibility for ensuring that equality and inclusion issues are considered, met and where required improved rests with every member of staff, which includes officers, staff, special constables, police community support officers and volunteers.
Police forces have made real progress in addressing fairness, equality and human rights matters over recent years. We remain committed to keeping these issues at the heart of everything we do.
The Equality Act 2010 brought in a general equality duty, requiring public authorities, in the exercise of their functions, to have due regard to the need to:
Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Act.
Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
Foster good relations between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not share it.
Here in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight we have been working towards these objectives for many years and we will continue to do so. On this site you will find the results and progress of our work and see any areas that have been identified as requiring additional action. Many of these improvements have come about as a result of feedback from the residents of our two counties. We believe by listening to what the concerns are and working together we will meet our obligations under the Equality Act and achieve our aim of providing an excellent service to all our communities.
Hampshire Constabulary is inclusive in its commitment to staff and communities however they identify in relation to age, gender identity, disability, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation or sex.

Like with Dilara, in every corner of the world, God is drawing hearts to Himself in amazing ways.
Just ask the woman in Southeast Asia healed from partial deafness after an IMB missionary prayed over her. Or ask the dad in France who believed after a "chance" encounter with a follower of Christ at his son's soccer game. Or ask the man in Slovenia struggling with mental illness who cried out to God and now is living a life surrendered to Jesus. Though the ground can be hard, stories of miracles and changed lives abound.
- PRAY for God to continue to work in mysterious ways in the lives of people all over the world.
- PRAY for hearts from every people group to be drawn to worship Jesus.

According to UNOCHA, Tajikistan is the most disaster prone country amidst the Central Asian Republics. Up to 93% of land is mountainous. 70% of the population is living in rural areas where farming and livestock are the main sources of income. Widespread poverty forces more than 1 million Tajiks to labour migration, sending back remittances (about 40% of the country's GDP). The eastern province of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) has limited land available for agriculture and forestry. Coupled with a growing population, people are forced to expand their settlements in hazard areas and farm activities onto sloping lands. Pasture management for improving livestock is not well-developed, as farmers lack knowledge on fodder production, rotational grazing and livestock development. Communities lack the environmental consciousness, legal awareness, analytical skills and technical support to develop Sustainable Land Management (SLM) plans.
Communities in Khorog town, Shugnan and Roshtqala districts of GBAO have improved resilience to disasters through reduced vulnerability and increased livelihood opportunities.
|Gruppi target
The project will cover the town of Khorog and Shugnan and Roshtqala districts and will reach a total population of 50'000:

Switzerland has funded three phases of the project in 2009-10, 2011-13 (co-funded by DFID) and 2013-2015 (co-funded by JICA and US Gov't), totaling 5.05 mln CHF. During project phases I/II, some 200 existing remote hazards were assessed and inventoried; 49 communities are better prepared to possible flash floods and glacial lake outbursts. Under phase III a more integrated approach was selected, including both local and remote hazards for a better risk informed development. Today, 90 villages in Shugnan and Roshkala valleys, covering about 75'000 people, are better protected from natural disasters due to 49 structural mitigation and natural resources management projects implemented, 10 functioning Early Warning Systems, 2 new medical stockpiles placed in strategic locations and 20 Community Emergency Response Teams retrained. The 90 villages take decisions based on their Village Development Plans which include DRR elements and local authorities in 9 Districts apply hazard risk maps in development planning. 60 families have increased income due to new business such as bakeries, carpenter's shop or food processing and marketing. To ensure sustainability of the results, the new phase as part of the interventions' exit strategy, will apply a holistic cluster approach. The focus will be on empowerment of the local communities/actors/authorities beyond administrative boundaries in sub-watersheds to conduct advanced risk assessments linked with designing and implementing sustainable land, pasture and livestock management planning for increased resilience to natural disasters.

Over the years, Kaduna State in Nigeria has been known to produce world-class athletes in the calibre of Musa Audu and Godday James who both won Bronze medals at the Athens 2004 Olympics, as well as Beijing 2008 Silver medallist – Franca Idoko, and now, Suraj Habib who was born and raised in Zaria, Kaduna State, looks set to uphold that rich tradition after being recruited into Making of Champions (MoC) Track Club in Lagos.
Like most athletes, Habib is a product of School Sports, switching from Football to Athletics in secondary school. Unlike most athletes however, he has taken his dream of becoming a Champion a step further by leaving the known for the unknown, saying goodbye to friends and family and relocating from Zaria to Lagos, believing that MoC has what it takes to launch him into the greatness he desires.
He said, "It was a big step relocating from Zaria to Lagos because since I was born, I have never been away from my family for more than a week. I found it very challenging because my family is a big one and everybody loves me. I'm very close to my mum and support her a lot, but I just said let me come here and see what I can make of myself because if I were to remain in Zaria, I may not have as much support to travel for competitions and so on like I'm experiencing here, so I had to leave home to chase my dreams."
Habib first appeared on MoC's radar after an Athletics Trial held in Kaduna in December 2017, and even though he wasn't selected, he kept in touch with MoC because he was determined to join the club, and just like one that would not be denied, he kept putting in the work needed to improve and by extension, be selected by MoC.
His grit, determination and focus paid off after he ran a brilliant race at the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) Golden League in Abuja in March, 2018, where he clocked a PB of 48.41s to win his heat, and then clocked 48.66s in the final. Habib recounts his experience thus:
"My first 49s was because of MoC, and after I ran the time, I contacted Mr. Bambo (Akani, MoC Founder/CEO), but I knew that MoC had many 49s runners then, so that was probably the reason why I wasn't selected at the time. He told me to return home and try my best. From 49.9s, I ran 49.6s. He told me to train harder. I didn't feel bad because I know that in Athletics, when you put in the work, you get the results."
He added: "I improved my Personal Best (PB) to 49.06s and was so happy. I didn't run it for myself or anybody; I ran it because of my need to join MoC. I knew that I had to prove myself. I wasn't expecting to run 48s the day I did because all the people I ran with are my seniors. I didn't have the confidence even though I felt that it was the last chance I had to run a good race in order to join MoC.
"When the gun went off, I found myself in front. I was asking myself 'What is going on?' With about 100m to go, I saw that there was no one beside me. When the clock stopped at 48.41s, I knew that I was good to go. This time around, I wasn't even the one that called Mr. Bambo. He was out of the country at the time but he called to congratulate me, and that was how I found myself in MoC".
Going forward, Habib is optimistic of his chances in Athletics, and hopes to represent Nigeria in the near future:
"The first major goal I want to achieve is to wear my country's colours. That is when people will know that you're ready. After wearing the country's colours, I will make sure I chase some records including the National Record (NR). Everyone is talented, but you have to put in the work if you hope to succeed. Breaking records is my target", he said.
Habib, who is ecstatic at being MoC's first athlete from the North, said: "I feel very good and happy; for me it's like making history because it will always be on record that I am MoC's first athlete from the north.
"It is not an easy thing coming all the way from Kaduna, or let me say Zamfara, because that is my State of Origin. Where I come from in the North-West, Athletics is not really regarded as anything, so I have to salute myself because I know that by coming here, I have done something good."

It doesn't matter what age you are, how much money you have, or even how mobile you are – it's never too late to learn how to improve your quality of life. We're constantly growing and adapting to our surroundings, which is why every so often, we need to stop and evaluate what makes us happy and what's wasting our time. Once we've done that, we can focus on what we truly enjoy and start improving our quality of life.
How to Improve Your Quality of Life
Make a List of What You Want
If you're wondering how to improve your quality of life, start by focusing on the positives – not the negatives. This can be easier said than done. If you're like a lot of people, you tend to focus on things you don't like: long lines, icy roads, over-paying at restaurants, bad movies, and on and on. What if we spent more time thinking about what we actually love and enjoy?
If you're having a hard time figuring out what you want more of in your life, start by going through your week and writing down the things that brought you joy. What about visiting with family, coffee with a friend, a good book, cooking dinner, or perhaps taking a long walk? Once you've got your list going, keep adding to it. Eventually you'll have a clearer picture of what brings you joy in life, and it will be easier to focus on those things and stop dedicating time and attention to everything else.
Get Your Heart Pumping
Fitness is a key factor in our physical health, of course, but did you know that it could also boost your mental health and happiness? Not only has regular exercise been linked to improved mood and cardiovascular health, but it can also improve blood pressure, anxiety, and sleep.
Incorporating physical activity into your life, especially as you age, can be tricky. Luckily, research has shown that even small amounts of physical exercise can improve your balance, mood, bone density, and weight. If you're looking for a new workout that won't overwhelm you, try chair yoga. This easy-to-practice exercise offers many benefits, and you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
Give Back to Others
Volunteer work has long been touted as a great mood booster, but Stephanie Watson, executive editor of Harvard Women's Health Watch, found that volunteering can do a lot more than improve your mood. "Studies have shown that volunteering helps people who donate their time feel more socially connected, thus warding off loneliness and depression," she writes. "But I was surprised to learn that volunteering has positive implications that go beyond mental health. A growing body of evidence suggests that people who give their time to others might also be rewarded with better physical health – including lower blood pressure and a longer lifespan."
If figuring out how to improve your quality of life is as simple as volunteering your time and resources to those in need, then we're all in luck. The number of organizations looking for volunteers seems to be endless. The trick is finding which organization best fits your personal interests. If you've always loved animals, consider volunteering at your local animal shelter or fostering an animal in need of a temporary home. If you love gardening, reach out to a local park, garden, or farmer's market. Schools and church groups are also great places to find rewarding volunteer opportunities.
Continue Exploring
Don't let your age keep you inside – you're never too old to get out and explore new things. Although we encourage you to embrace the things that bring you comfort, avoid getting stuck in a rut. Why not check out the thriving restaurant scene in Greenville? Scheduling weekly or monthly restaurant excursions with friends or family will help you stay socially active as well. Or you could stop by a seasonal festival or go to the theater to see a new show. For help exploring all that Greenville has to offer, check out these past blog posts:

It's been said that vampire mythology has remained compelling for generation after generation because the myths lend themselves to the preoccuptions or anxieties of each generation. In Bram Stoker's time this might have been an anxiety about industrialisation, or perhaps the alien East; more recently we've seen vampires transformed into romantic outsiders (the Twilight twaddle)...

Minds, machines and business models (2)
Since the industrial age, the machine has been the model for business (explicitly in the work of the late 19th century management theorist Frederick Winslow Taylor, whose thinking, though hardly fashionable or explicitly embraced, still dominates management ideas). That's probably because efficiency is directly correlated with profit, and making a business work like a machine... Continue Reading →
Minds, machines and business models (1)
Neuroscience raises a question about the possible distortions of the models we use to organise and shape our knowledge. With neuroscience it is quickly necessary to think about the relationship between observable brain functions and consciousness. It's become possible to make a direct correlation between specific states of mind and visible activity in the brain,... Continue Reading →

Midnite: Kings Bell
Long collection from St Croix reggae outfit fails to catch a fire
First, the good news: Kings Bell, by St Croix reggae outfit Midnite, features impeccable production, with strong bass lines and lively percussion, nicely accented by keyboards and guitars. The musicianship, though not flashy, is never less than competent, while Vaughn Benjamin's vocals contain just the right amount of gravelly world-weariness.
The bad news is that few of these sixteen tunes stand out from their brethren. Benjamin's vocals, delivered in a rapid-fire string of rhymes over the instrumentals, touch on important topics: social justice, global poverty, arms dealers. But the sheer amount of verbiage threatens to sink these songs, and they soon start sounding interchangeable. This is exacerbated by the lack of instrumental solos or bridges within songs to lend any variety in their structure. Virtually every tune is played at the same middling tempo, with the same bed of instrumental supporting sounds. "The Quickening" is a rare exception, one that builds tension through layers of percussion.
It's best not to think of this as a collection of sixteen songs, but rather as one long song that goes on for over an hour. if you enjoy the first couple tracks, take heart, because the rest of the album is virtually indistinguishable from them.

Just because I mentioned it, the tidioute redone on the same stone and same scope as the 440C knife. Same slurry, same wetness of slurry, etc, same pressure.
And compared to the 440C knife.
I saw Tidioute has specs saying that their knives are hardened to 55-57 rc.
I don't think so!! One might not be able to tell a difference with synthetic knives, but 55-57 and 61 or so are vastly different on stones relying on novaculite or silicon dioxide. This natural stone (these do have somewhere in the realm of 16% aluminum oxide, too - present in volcanic ash that is in these) is sort of on the borderline between cutting and polishing. It's plenty fast to keep the knife in shape, but not enough to cut deeply and really smash up the metal. It's also much easier to sharpen because it's wharncliffe vs. clip style.
The picture shows a tiny bit of foil that could be removed with a strop. A slurry of this type is good for not making much of a wire edge.
Here is the 440C chinese boker from the other thread.
I couldn't really speculate on its hardness other than that I can tell it's not close to 60. And I'm glad of that. It's easy to sharpen because of it.

The Pocklington School Foundation (PSF) Careers & Business Network was launched in November 2017 and is open to everyone in the wider Pocklington School community, including current and former parents, Old Pocklingtonians, current and former staff andsupporters. Its aims are to help each other thrive in a highly competitive world and, by working together, to help inspire our students, and each other, for life.
Our special guest speaker at the launch was Old Pocklingtonian, renowned businessman and Owner/Chairman of Gloucester Rugby Club, Martin St Quinton (OP 65-75). Since leaving Pocklington School in 1975 to study at Durham University, Martin has had a remarkable career in the worlds of both business and sport, including being named Ernst and Young Technology Entrepreneur of the Year. We were delighted that Martin joined us at the launch and shared with us his thoughts on what has inspired him throughout his career.
Following the launch we have held a number of highly successful networking events in London, Leeds and at school. Each event has focused on a different theme, and we have been very fortunate to have some excellent guest speakers from our school community, including Christopher Oughtred, former Chairman of the sixth generation family business, William Jackson Food Group, and award-winning entrepreneur and business leader James Sweeting (OP 81-88).
Later in the year guest speaker Nicholas Pollard (OP 69-76), Group Chief Executive of Cory Riverside Energy joined us at school. Nick studied civil engineering at Nottingham University and whilst at Pocklington School won the BBC TV Young Scientist of the Year. He has served as an advisor to the UK Government and his career covers construction, civil engineering, resource management, recycling and energy recovery. The full story and photos from the event click here.
In March 2019 we held an event was in Leeds, with the focus for the evening on careers in business and law. Hosted at the offices of Schofield Sweeney LLP, the guest speakers were Jodie Hill (OP 00-06) and David Strachan (OP 67-77). Headmaster Toby Seth conducted a fascinating Q&A with David and Jodie, who shared with guests their insights into the many aspects of working in the legal profession. For the full story click here.
At The Farmer's Club in London in May we heard from Will Treasure (OP 74-79). The focus for the evening was on digital strategies and ecommerce, and Will took us on a fascinating journey of his career since leaving Pocklington School to running his own company advising retailers across the world. The full story click here.
Our next event was at School where we welcomed two creative entrepreneurs, Beth Todd (OP 07-14) and James Wilkinson (OP 99-10). Beth and James shared with guests their experiences of setting up their own businesses, what motivated them to do so and the challenges they have faced along the way.

Year of Publication:
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6), the main regulator of insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2), is a component of the stem cell niche in developing muscle cells. However, its role in muscle development has not been clearly defined. In this study, we investigated the role of IGFBP-6 in muscle commitment and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells derived from the placenta. We showed that placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) have the ability to differentiate into muscle cells when exposed to a specific culture medium by expressing muscle markers Pax3/7, MyoD, myogenin, and myosin heavy chain in a stage-dependent manner with the ultimate formation of multinucleated fibers and losing pluripotency-associated markers, OCT4 and SOX2. The addition of IGFBP-6 significantly increased pluripotency-associated markers as well as muscle differentiation markers at earlier time points, but the latter decreased with time. On the other hand, silencing IGFBP-6 decreased both pluripotent and differentiation markers at early time points. The levels of these markers increased as IGFBP-6 levels were restored. These findings indicate that IGFBP-6 influences MSC pluripotency and myogenic differentiation, with more prominent effects observed at the beginning of the differentiation process before muscle commitment.

Six LIM Students Win Prestigious Fashion Scholarships
January 9, 2018
LIM College student Charlotte Sandness will be awarded $7,500 and Erin Jacobsen, Kendra Lehner, Sabrina Noriega, Colleen Sheehan and Muhammad Yalakidis will each receive $5,000 scholarships from the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund (FSF).
The six students will be recognized at the FSF's annual Awards Gala on January 9 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square. At the event, the Fashion Scholarship Fund will also honor several industry luminaries — including Katia Beauchamp, co-founder and CEO of Birchbox.
The mission of the FSF is to advance the fashion industry by encouraging gifted and enterprising young people to pursue careers in design, merchandising, retailing and business. The FSF supports 60 colleges and universities nationwide that include both the top retail, design and fashion programs in the country and many of the most respected business schools. In addition to LIM, participating schools include Barnard, Brandeis, Cornell, and Harvard.
Scholarships are awarded based entirely on merit, taking into consideration the applicants' GPAs, as well as the completion of an annual case study project. This year applicants were asked to create an in-store experience for a retailer that would drive customers into that retailer's store.
The six students were also invited to an exclusive internship/career fair the morning of the gala. That event will be attended by the talent acquisition teams from more than 40 FSF sponsor companies, including Adidas, Kohl's, and Steve Madden.
