text: Throwback Thursday: The Christmas Truce Match (December 25th, 1914) By James Patrick Gordon | December 24, 2015 | 11:01am Photo via Hulton Archive/Getty Soccer Features Christmas Share Tweet Submit Pin We've covered a lot of ground in this Throwback Thursday series. We've mostly stuck with English football, but we've also delved into the history books for German, Spanish, Chilean and Peruvian, and, yes, American football. But there's been one thing that all our past entries had in common so far— a focus on verified historical events, things that we know happened because there was visual evidence of it. This week, we can't say for sure. There's no real video to show, at least not of the actual subject. There's broader historical footage. There are documentaries. There have been tributes and recreations. But whether the original event happened is up for speculation. And, ultimately, it might not really matter. This week, we look back at one of the most famous football matches in history; one that may never have actually taken place, but nevertheless remains an integral part of football's mythology and a testament to the nobler aspects of human nature. This week, we look back at the Christmas Truce Football Match— December 25th, 1914. First, it's important to note that the Christmas Truce did actually happen. The first few months of World War I were a brutal grind, but it was downright congenial compared to the latter years of the war. Fraternization among soldiers was commonplace. Brief and unofficial ceasefires broke out along fronts and flank lines as both sides laid down their weapons each night to allow each other to tend to their wounded and collect their dead. Soldiers would use the brief timeouts to socialize with their enemy counterparts; newspapers were swapped, rations were shared, cigarettes were divvied up, songs were sold, jokes were told. Some soldiers even gave each other haircuts. Officers and politicians weren't entirely pleased with the fraternization on the front lines. Future French leader Charles de Gaulle, who headed up a company stationed near the Marne, called the friendly relations amongst enemy soldiers "lamentable." But in those early stages of the war, dispelling the culture of bonhomie among soldiers in the trenches was more trouble than it was worth. If the cordiality among enemy soldiers allowed for brief timeouts from hostilities, Christmastime effectively brought the fighting to a halt. Combatants from both sides ventured into no man's land to share meals and smokes, sing carols, and generally took the day off from fighting to enjoy each other's company. The writer Henry Williamson wrote home to his mother after the holiday describing Christmas by the trenches: "The ground is sloppy in the actual trench, but frozen elsewhere. In my mouth is a pipe presented by the Princess Mary. In the pipe is tobacco. Of course, you say. But wait. In the pipe is German tobacco. Haha, you say, from a prisoner or found in a captured trench. Oh dear, no! From a German soldier. Yes a live German soldier from his own trench. Yesterday the British & Germans met & shook hands in the Ground between the trenches, & exchanged souvenirs, & shook hands. Yes, all day Xmas day, & as I write. Marvellous, isn't it?" And, yes, there were footballs kicked about. But what exactly happened is a little muddy. (Literally and figuratively.) More than a few soldiers on both sides brought footballs from home. Indeed, some of the young men fighting in the war were footballers back home. At the very least, there seemed to be several informal kickabouts among companies and platoons during the unofficial ceasefire. Given how friendly British and German soldiers were with each other that year, it's not inconceivable that combatants kicked a ball around with their wartime opposition. What is unclear is whether there was an organized 11 on 11 match, with referees and a scorekeeper, where British soldiers lined up against their German counterparts. The Times published a letter on New Year's Day a week later from a doctor attached to the Rifle Brigade that described "... a football match… played between them and us in front of the trench." In the years that followed, the story of the football match on Christmas in 1914 grew in the telling, with a wide range of accounts of that game being given with varying scorelines or specified units. Probably the "definitive" account of the match, which is also likely fictional, comes from British poet Robert Graves. His telling of the match ended with a 3-2 score in favor of the Germans. Graves' somewhat sardonic postscript even described controversy in the build-up to the winning goal: "The Reverend Jolly, our padre, acted as ref too much Christian charity—their outside left shot the deciding goal, but he was miles offside and admitted it as soon as the whistle went." Whatever the historicity of the match is, we know there was an unsanctioned ceasefire that spanned the length of the Christmas holiday, and it's likely that there was at least some football during the break in hostilities. After that Christmas, officers and other higher-ups on both sides cracked down on fraternization. That, combined with the sprawling body count and the mounting bitterness that settled in among the troops, ensured that future Christmas truces would go unobserved. And whether or not the game actually happened, the myth of the game became part of the bedrock of modern football culture. The romance and nobility of enemy soldiers laying down their arms to play a game of football at Christmastime is a deeply moving and compelling story. It carries a message that people can come together in peace and forgiveness, even in the literal hell produced by war. And it also belies the power of football to flatten our differences. This was evident in last year's memorials marking the centenary of the 1914 Christmas Truce. A sculpture was unveiled last year at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to commemorate the football match. The memorial was unveiled by FA chairman Greg Dyke, England National Team manager Roy Hodgson, and the Duke of Cambridge, who described the truce as a "message of hope and humanity." Around that time, British and German soldiers met once again on a pitch— for real, this time. Members of the UK and German armed forces fielded teams for a charity match held at the Recreation Ground, home of Aldershot Town Football Club. This time, the British avenged their loss a century earlier by beating the Germans 1-0. (Which I suppose leaves them level on aggregate.) The legacy of the Christmas Truce, and the football match that may or may not have happened, is that war is never total and never an inevitability. It's been more than a century since that Yuletide truce was observed, yet in a political climate in which lawmakers and would-be presidents are openly debating operations to "carpet bomb" innocent civilians, it's a story we would all do well to re-tell and remember. Today is Christmas eve, which, for many, means family and gifts and church services and food. And, of course, it also means football. There will be charity games recreating and memorializing the Christmas Truce match. There will be people in silly costumes kicking a ball on the beach at Scarborough. And, on Saturday, the Premier League will stage Matchweek 18 as part of an annual Boxing Day tradition, with ramifications for the Top 4, relegation battle, and various managerial tenures. But this holiday is fundamentally about peace and goodwill, and no amount of violence from war or consumer capitalism can obscure that. Whether the Christmas Truce match actually happened doesn't really matter anymore. It's proof that made-up stories can still matter. It's a reminder that we as a species are at our best when we stop fighting each other. And it's a story we can tell ourselves when things look truly grim, a path we can lay out for ourselves as we try to find our light again.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court in this Labor Law 240(1) and 241(6) action, determined Supreme Court properly found plaintiff offered a sufficient reason for making a late motion for summary judgment, i.e., discovery was incomplete at the time the motion was due, but should not have denied the motion on the ground the discovery was not essential to the motion. The discovery dealt with whether plaintiff was engaged in unauthorized work at the time of the accident, which is a defense to Labor Law 240(1) and 241(6) actions:
A party may not move for summary judgment after the deadline to do so has expired, "except with leave of court on good cause shown" (CPLR 3212[a]). As a result, a court may not consider a late motion for summary judgment unless the moving party offers "a satisfactory explanation for the untimeliness—rather than simply permitting meritorious, nonprejudicial filings, however tardy" … . "While significant outstanding discovery may, in certain circumstances, constitute good cause for a delay in making a motion for summary judgment," the movant must establish that the discovery was "essential to its motion" … . This standard generally requires that the discovery be relevant to resolving disputed issues of fact … . Even if the discovery is essential, good cause for the delay will only exist if the party promptly moves for summary judgment after securing such discovery … . Fuczynski v 144 Div., LLC, 2022 NY Slip Op 05151, Second Dept 9-14-22
Practice Point: Good cause for filing a late motion for summary judgment is demonstrated where, as here, the motion was due before discovery was complete and the discovery is essential to the motion.

Americans Plan To Spend $31.7 Billion On Mother's Day In 2022

Listen to Article
Every Mother's Day, Americans show their appreciation for the remarkable women in their lives by showering them with extravagant gifts. 2022 will be no exception. A recent survey by the National Retail Federation (NRF) indicates that the approximately 84 percent of adults celebrating the holiday on May 8 will collectively spend $31.7 billion. This is up $3.6 billion from the record $28.1 billion spent in 2021 and the highest in the survey's 19-year history.
"Consumers are eager to find memorable ways to honor their mothers and other important women in their lives and are willing to spend a little extra on this sentimental holiday," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay.
The poll, which surveyed 8,574 US adults, found that consumers will expend an average of $245.76, up $25 from 2021. Greeting cards (75 percent) and flowers (72 percent) top the list of potential purchases. However, a large sum of the money — about $7 billion — will go towards fine jewelry. Experience-related gifts, such as concerts or sporting events, and product subscription services, like Birchbox, are also very popular. About 57 percent of those celebrating plan to spend an average of $40.90 on a special outing like dinner or brunch.
Given the lavish purchases, it should come as no surprise that Mother's Day is now the third-largest US retail holiday — behind only winter holidays and the back-to-school season. But, that is not what Anna Jarvis had in mind when she began her nationwide campaign to convince lawmakers to set aside a special day to honor mothers in 1908. The Philadelphia school teacher hoped for a simple celebration that involved wearing a white carnation and visiting one's mother or attending a church service.
However, once President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day in 1914, retailers seized the opportunity to market gifts to US consumers. Jarvis spent years fighting the trend and even filed lawsuits against the "profiteers" to no avail. By the time she died in 1948, Jarvis had disowned the holiday she had fought so hard to create.
Moms certainly appreciate a thoughtful gift or two. However, most would readily swap it for an opportunity to spend more quality time with their families or get a break from their daily chores. So this Mother's Day, promise your mom the attention or help she deserves — not just for one day, but all year round.
Happy Mother's Day!

With a big thank you to Katy Sansbury for putting my organisation and research into words.
In an industry that has always had to walk a line between valuing creativity and turning a profit, the journey of the independent artist of today seems just as full of both opportunities and difficulties as ever. The swallowing up of independent labels by the behemoths of the industry, the advent of the internet and online social networking, and even shifting economies, have changed the landscape of the music business, affecting the consumer, the labels, and the artists alike. Amidst any and all of these changes, new, up-and-coming and independent artists still fight the age-old fight: to get their music heard, and support their careers as musicians.
One place many artists have been drawn to over the years is the Hotel Café. Starting out as a small L.A. coffeehouse, it has grown in physical size as well as artistic significance since its modest beginnings in 2000. Tucked away on the Cahuenga strip in the heart of Hollywood, its intimate feel and familial atmosphere has attracted and created a veritable community of musical talent, including artists such as Gary Jules, Matt Costa, Weezer, Death Cab For Cutie, Joshua Radin and Jason Mraz. Known for impressive acoustic sets, unexpected and spontaneous collaborations and a general sense of community and love of music, the Hotel Café have been sharing their unique take on live music with the world since the birth of the Hotel Café Tour in 2005. Three years later, with the 2008 tour in full swing, Room Thirteen was excited to experience what so many people have been talking about for so long.
Brighton was one of the spots lucky enough to be visited by the Tour, and on May 29th, the Concorde 2 played host to Tom Mcrae, Cary Brothers, Jim Bianco, Greg Laswell, Catherine Feeny and Brian Wright. Room Thirteen had the pleasure of having a chat with each of the artists before the show, and we were interested to hear their opinions on the state of the industry, and their own experiences as independent artists.
All of them were enthusiastic about what the Hotel Café Tour has done for them personally. Jim Bianco, a local and long-term friend of the Hotel Café, explained, "It's a giant opportunity for me to come over here a play for 300-plus people every night. This is the way you build something, I think; it's a really long-winded way, maybe," he laughs, "But it really is a giant opportunity."
To Tom Mcrae, who has helped in putting the Tour itself together, the Hotel Café is clearly close to his heart. "You know what? It's a pleasure. It's a fun thing to do. It's a lot of time and effort to organise, and I swear I'll never do it again, but the minute I get on the road, I think, 'I get to listen to these people every night, and call them friends.'" Maybe it's killing touring for him, then? Can anything compare to it? "Honestly, my own tours are easier; playing an hour and a half of my own songs is easier than organising this bunch of layabouts," he jokes. "But it does mean I have a lot of fun. And I hope we are raising the bar for the audience; I hope the audience goes away thinking, 'Well the next guy I see play at the Concorde better be good, or I'll be disappointed!'"
Greg Laswell, who made the move from producer to artist in 2003, said, "I started playing there about two and a half years ago now, and it really allowed me to build up a following, which I think is important to an artist. It also gave me a support group with the people I'm on tour with now, and vice versa: it's a really unique relationship that the artists have, with the Hotel Café. It's almost like a team of people who are all trying to help and celebrate each other, and we're all really proud of each other, so it's done a lot for me in that way. The Hotel Café is also like a home base for me, where I can work out new songs; it's somewhere I can take risks, which I think I wouldn't otherwise take."
With more and more artists having to prove their popularity before a label will take a chance on them, we asked how easy or difficult it is for self-promoting artists to build a fan base. "I think there's a lot of luck involved," mused Bianco. "It's not to take anything away from any artist; everyone tries really hard… Well, some people don't try at all," he laughs, "But it's usually about the amount of work you put into it." Is any of it down to having the right connections? "There is a lot of that, and that's just life, too. People do things for friends… I, unfortunately, don't know any of those people," he adds jokingly, "So I live in a one-bedroom apartment in the ghetto of Hollywood."
Brian Wright, soloing on the Tour without his band, the Waco Tragedies, smiles modestly and says, "I don't know… Ask me when I have a fan base!" Laughing, he continues, "I think certainly there's a lot of work involved, but then it's luck. It really is being in the right place at the right time, and meeting like-minded people. There really is strength in numbers, and I think that's what's working about this (the Hotel Café Tour): we all are relative unknowns, some more than others, and we are all from different worlds, but when we go out together and put on a show like this, it gives everyone equal exposure, and maybe people who came to see one of us gets turned on one of the others too."
The increasing power of the internet in the worlds of communication, sales and promotion is certainly having an effect on the music industry. How is it changing life for independent artists? Is it putting more pressure on them to be able to build websites and manage networking pages as well as create good music? Cary Brothers, who initially conceived the idea of the Hotel Café Tour, is very decided on his view of the internet as a tool for artists. "Well, you're an artist, you're supposed to be a person of your time. The time right now is the internet, and it's knowing how to use those things that will help, so if you don't know how to then it's like 'Fuck you, you're an idiot- you should!' All these things are out there now, they're there for you to use, and they're easy and free.
"So much exists that we hadn't had earlier on. You know, sitting on MySpace all day long, before they had those little spambot friend request things, and e-mailing individual messages to people, just because it's there, and it's free- I can do it in my underwear in my bedroom!" Does he ever resent having had to do all that extra work? "No, 'cause it was there so I did it, because I do the work. It's the same as when you tour, or when you force yourself to sit and finish a song… It's work. Work is work. If that allows me to not have to take money from someone else to promote me, and I can just do it myself for free, then I want to do that. Anyone who says they don't want to do that, you're an idiot, and you're gonna fall by the wayside."
With the internet, it seems more possible than ever before for any artist to reach out and create fans all over the world. Catherine Feeny, who herself recently relocated from the US to the UK, explained that for her, it's more about having a good number of supportive fans, than their location. "It depends what you mean by local. People say you need a thousand true fans to make a living. I don't know- maybe, maybe not. If you mean England, by 'locally', then yes, you could have success here. But yeah, it's practical to start locally, and build from there."
Greg Laswell seems quite balanced on it. "I think probably a little bit of both is good. I certainly did the US thing first, and built it up from going out on tour over and over again for a while. That's the route that I chose. And now I'm getting over here (the UK), so that's great."
Is the industry more cutthroat these days? "It's always the same thing," Tom Mcrae says. "You're always having to persuade someone to give you enough money to reach a huge audience. If you make the sort of music where someone says, 'Yes, you'll be able to get on radio and TV,' then you're fine for money, but if you don't get that, then how do you persuade someone with lots of money to help you do that? But there are ways. You've got to get out there and you've got to work, and you've got to believe in your music."
Brothers believes that the artists can take back the industry. "I think the industry is falling apart, and they have no idea what they're doing. It's a sad time to be a major label person. But you know, I think, 'I'm still here.' When I first started having whatever success I had some years ago, all the labels came calling, and I said no.
"Garden State happened, and everyone heard 'Blue Eyes', and they were like, 'We want you to be the 'Blue Eyes' guy. We want you to sing a bunch of big sweeping ballads.' And while I'm proud of that song, it's not everything that I am, and they would have made me be that guy. I wanted the freedom to do what I wanted to do, instead of what they told me to do."
All six certainly have confidence in their music, with fresh and organic styles and sounds. With a group of such individual and talented artists on the road together, the performance was bound to be interesting, and it was certainly a unique kind of gig. Tom Mcrae acted as master of ceremonies, introducing each artist throughout the night, and finding ways to make the audience laugh between performances. Divided into two halves, each artist contributed two or three songs to each half, which kept things varied and well-paced, making the three-hour show fly by. In addition to the changing song styles and lead vocalists, there was no predicting at any time who exactly would be on the stage. With the tour band providing drums, bass, guitar, keyboard and brass backup, the artists themselves seemed to flow constantly on and off stage, providing additional vocals and instruments (Brian Wright definitely knows how to rock a tambourine).
With such a variety of styles and sounds, and the constant collaborations that are the hallmark of the Tour, the overall tone of the evening was informal and, at the start at least, chilled out. Cary Brothers had told us beforehand that he was planning to turn the atmosphere on its head when it got to his turn, and as soon as he got to the stage, he announced, "I know we're meant to be sentimental songwriters, but I don't give a fuck!" and launched into the upbeat and energetic 'Who You Are'. The crowd seemed to enjoy being taken by surprise, though it definitely seemed that they were on a low burn most the night, strange when it was at such odds from the energy and enthusiasm that poured from the stage. The artists themselves were pretty unfazed, and Tour guitarist Jason Kanakis told us afterwards that they'd all started challenging each other backstage to see who could get the crowd going the most. Kanakis himself was the first one to get the whole crowd to their feet (there had been an area of tables and chairs arranged in front of the stage for some of the audience to use), when he led a bit of arm-swinging, hand-clapping and general laughter between songs.
A standout moment in the set list was towards the end of the night, when all six took to the stage for a fantastic rendition of Cary Brothers' 'Blue Eyes'; their connection and mutual enthusiasm was constantly evident in how they smiled and laughed with each other throughout the performance, and that enjoyment finally infected the crowd, who sang along with mirroring smiles on their faces. Another highlight of the night was when all six came down into the crowd, sans microphones and leads, and with only a guitar, accordion, and their combined voices, performed Jim Bianco's grin-inducing anthem, 'Sing', getting the audience to join in with the chorus line, which tapped in perfectly to the energetic, friendly, eclectic tone of the night.
"It's not business, at the end of the day; it's about community," Brothers told us, and the truth of that resounded throughout the whole performance. Every person involved knew all the songs that were played, and they all took obvious pleasure from sharing their performances with each other, lending support and enjoying themselves. Tom Mcrae explained, "We can never control how it goes," adding jokingly, "It barely sounds like music most nights." Music or not, it's a distinctive style; clearly the style of the Hotel Café. Bringing artists and audiences together- giving both sides equally needed introductions to each other- what is essentially a group of friends helping each other out and playing music together has obviously grown into a foundation for careers, as well as artistic creativity.
It seems inevitable that the template will be copied by others at some point down the line. Brothers was also aware of that possibility. "I'm sure if this is a big success, then someone will make another version of it," he commented. "Someone's always looking to profit. But that's the thing; I've been running this tour for 3 years now, and I've not made a single dime off it. 'Cause its not that. It's the enjoyment."
It's something that artists say time and time again; that the music should come first, and the business comes after. The Hotel Café Tour does seem to be proving that a truism. Without reliance on major labels, but instead through the use of sponsors, and the help of a mutually supportive network of musicians and friends, the Hotel Café and its associated artists has already achieved an impressive degree of success, and created great opportunities for the new and independent musicians in their midst. Hopefully other artists and music enthusiasts will find ways to achieve similar success; until then, the Hotel Café is certainly one to watch for one-of-a-kind performances, and exciting new talent.
With a big thank you to Katy Sansbury for putting my organisation and research into words.

Fit for Royalty! Early Hollycraft unsigned Austro Hungarian revival chatelaine having everything: brooch, fur/jacket clip, pendant, swag box chains! It basically has 3 sections and measurements are: brooch 1 3/4 inches by 1 3/4 inches; fur/jacket/dress clip is 1 inch by 7/8 inch; pendant drop is the largest at 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches with the box chain tassel adding another inch! The swag box chains (heavily age patinated) are 6 1/2 inches, 7 1/2 inches and 8 1/2 inches respectively.
The center green marbled cabochons are all 14mm by 10mm although the one on the brooch section could have been replaced. These cabochons are surrounded by tiny faux pearls and blue rhinestones. The pendant has tiny white enamel flowers. Both pendant and brooch have 5mm pearls and red, blue and green rhinestones. The metal is an antique gold color but the backs are fairly shiny so I'm guessing the fronts were purposely "antiqued". Very good vintage condition on all elements but the piece would welcome a little TLC.....or not! Please use the zoom feature to see details. Hollycraft did not sign early pieces and this is circa 1940s. Also, don't know if this was the original configuration of the three parts but I'm showing it as I purchased it from a fine estate in Miami some time ago.
Would love see this piece swag across a jacket front or dress from one side to the other and there are so many ways to play with this. Definitely a collector's item! It will be carefully wrapped and packed in a pretty zippered brocade gift pouch for keeping or gifting. Email questions are always welcome.
Thank you for shopping at Miami Moon!

We moved addicted to a dormitory over the club after that slept in bunks.

Harrison had positive memories of the period: Each club had a doorman whose job was to entice customers classified, as the drinks were expensive designed for Babycham and watered-down beer.

Flaminio is a true centre of events and trends. We all washed our own shirts and socks so the place smelt like a Chinese laundry. The next morning Kirchherr took photographs in a fairground park called Der Dom which was close to the Reeperbahn.

At the same time as Quinn leaves, Browning tells him he will be in touch soon, after that he expects him to be accommodating.

Vitamins are a major requirement for the body to function properly and, deficiency in a vitamin can be detrimental to health. Most vitamins are present in different types of food; hence, no need to worry about having an insufficient supply but nutritional deficiency of vitamin D is common because most foods contain a little amount of it.
About one-quarter of the UK's population is deficient in vitamin D and, this number rises to one-third during winter. This is so because the primary source of vitamin D is sunlight. Only a few types of food like oily fish, egg yolk, milk, mushrooms, and cod liver oil contains vitamin D.
Since a deficiency of vitamin D tests in London may notice until some complications arise, it is important to get routine a full blood test in London to check that you have enough vitamin D for your body to function.
Importance of vitamin D
Vitamin D has several functions in the body, which include enhancing the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and bone mineralization. The deficiency of vitamin D in adults can lead to osteomalacia. In osteomalacia, the bone is broken down by osteoclasts to increase serum calcium.
There are also claims that vitamin D deficiency can be linked to chronic fatigue syndrome, macular degeneration, reproductive health issues, and various cancers.
Causes and risk factors of vitamin D
Sunlight is pretty vital for the synthesis of vitamin D, but, there are other causes and risk factors. The vitamin D gotten from the sun and food is inactive and has to undergo a lot of conversion in the liver and kidney to form the usable metabolite known as 1, 25- dihydroxy vitamin D. Inactive vitamin D also undergoes renal conversion.
The factors for vitamin D deficiency arises from conversion stages as well as the formation of inactive vitamin D
Risk factor due to reduced intake in the diet or lack of exposure to sunlight
- Restrictions in the diet (vegans)
- 65 years and above – the substrate responsible for the synthesis of vitamin D is reduced.
- Darker skin- the melanin in people with darker skin absorbs some UVB light which makes them require more sunlight to produce vitamin D.
- Malabsorption in coeliac and post-bariatric surgery
- Reduced exposure to the sun- those who rarely leave the house or cover the skin when outside
Risk factor due to reduced liver conversion
- Chronic liver disease
- Induction of liver enzymes
Risk factor due to reduced renal conversion
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Reduced parathyroid hormone
- Chronic renal failure
Risk factor due to increased demand for vitamin D
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding
Recommendation for vitamin D supplementation
The Public Health England (PHE) recommends that people in the UK should take 10mcg (400IU) supplement of vitamin D during winter and autumn because sunlight is insufficient during this period. Babies who consume at least 500ml of formula daily do not need Vitamin D supplement because the formula is fortified with vitamin D but babies who are being breastfed need at least 8.5 – 10 mcg supplement of vitamin D.
Those who have only little exposure to sunlight, or those who cover all their skin when outside need to take vitamin D supplements throughout the year. They should get these supplements only from certified places, such as supersmart.com.
Test for vitamin D
Most people do not need vitamin D test but, same-day blood tests London for vitamin D should be performed in the following cases for adults over 18 years.
- Chronic widespread pain
- Symptoms of hypocalcaemia (e.g. muscle cramps, numbness)
- Symptoms of osteomalacia (e.g. bone pain, muscle aches and weakness, impaired physical function, waddling gait, symmetric lower back pain)
- Fall or sprain
- A bone disease that needs treatment with vitamin D (osteoporosis, Paget's disease)
Vitamin D test should be performed for children in the following cases
- Unexplained bony pain or muscular weakness
- Suspicion of rickets (bow legs, knock knees, delayed tooth eruption, painful wrist swelling)
- A chronic disease that may increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency
Vitamin D insufficiency
Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are often misdiagnosed as there is no clear consensus to differentiate them. However, the National Osteoporosis Society (NOS), NICE, and the Institute of Medicine have agreed on the following as thresholds for determining vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency.
|Serum 25 OHD levels (nmol/l)
|Vitamin D status
|30 – 50
|Insufficient in some people
The risk of developing skeletal problems increases with a vitamin D level less than 25nmol/l.
Treatment for vitamin D deficiency
People with vitamin D deficiency require a loading dose of approximately 300,000 IU of the vitamin, which can be administered in the following ways.
- 50,000 IU once a week for six weeks
- 20,000 IU twice a week for seven weeks
- 4,000 IU daily for ten weeks
Blood test after treatment
Private full blood test London should be carried out a month after treatment to check the level of serum calcium. If hypercalcaemia is discovered, this may be an indication of primary hyperparathyroidism, so the patient would not need to take more vitamin D and, an investigation would be carried to make an accurate diagnosis. The frequency of vitamin D testing after treatment depends on some set guidelines by the NOS and NICE.
Over-the-counter supplements
Some people do not need routine monitoring and can take over-the-counter vitamin D supplements. Those with vitamin D insufficiency who have completed their loading dose would need a maintenance dose of 800 IU per day while, people with malabsorption disorders may need 2000 IU – 4000IU.
Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity
Vitamin D toxicity is rare and, is only seen in people who are taking very high doses of the vitamin over extended period. Symptoms of hypercalcaemia include:
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Weight loss
- Headache
- Altered bowel habit
- Thirst
Vitamin D toxicity is associated with serum levels of at least 300 – 600 nmol/l. The loading and maintenance dose of vitamin D rarely causes toxicity.
Lifestyle changes
You can optimise your dietary intake of vitamin D and calcium. Exposure to sunlight to get vitamin D is essential, but, excess sunlight is a significant risk factor for melanoma. Sufficient sunlight can be gotten from short periods of exposure to sunlight, especially during the summer periods. Sunscreen is necessary for prolonged exposure to the sun as sunbeds increase the risk of developing melanoma by about 20%.
If you think that you are vitamin D deficient, you can carry out same-day blood tests in London at Blood London. You can call us now on 020 71830244 to book an appointment for your vitamin D blood test.

Samuel Morse fears a Catholic conspiracyIrish immigrants in the early nineteenth century filled jobs created by the Market Revolution. Their arrival provided an important source of labor for a growing economy, but many Americans worried about the influence of these arrivals. Samuel Morse, an inventor who contributed to the development of the telegraph and Morse Code, feared that Irish immigrants represented the front line of a Catholic conspiracy to destroy the United States.

Sarah Grimké calls for women's rightsAntebellum Americans increasingly confined middle-class white women to the home, where they were responsible for educating children and maintaining household virtue. Yet women used these ideas to become more active in the public sphere than ever before, taking prominent roles in all the major reform causes of the era. Women's participation in the antislavery crusade most directly inspired specific women's rights campaigns.

The fruit of alcohol and temperanceThis pair of lithographs, created by Nathaniel Currier (later of Currier & Ives fame), contrasts the "fruits" of abstaining from alcohol to those of indulging in strong drink. It leaves little to the imagination. Intemperance is symbolized by a diseased tree, surrounded by drunks outside of a pawn shop and a woman and her children being thrown out of their home. The lush foliage of temperance, on the other hand, is surrounded by prosperous church-going farm families.

Pun Chi Complains of racist abuseThe California Gold Rush of 1849 brought a major influx of Asian immigrants to the new state. This number only grew after railroad companies turned to Chinese laborers to build western railroads. Life for these immigrants was particularly difficult, as even financially successful Chinese immigrants faced considerable discrimination. In 1860, the Chinese merchant Pun Chi drafted this petition to congress, calling on the legislature to do more to protect Chinese immigrants.
Abraham Lincolnwas an American statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th president of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis.
Civil WarThe American Civil War was a civil war fought in the United States from 1861 to 1865, between the North and the South. The Civil War began primarily as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of black people.
Emancipation ProclamationPresident Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
Battle of Gettysburgwas fought July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point.

english essay2
- Purpose: Students should write an analysis of a single text (print, visual, cultural). The final draft should be 3-4 pages long. Assignment: You are to examinea short text of your choosing in great detail and depth. You will need to analyze the text's argument and consider how and why the argument is made. Do notsummarize the content of the text and do not respond to the text's argument. Your job is to analyzethe rhetorical strategies of the text.Step 1:Locate a text with a rhetorical argument. You may use an essay, a speech, an advertisement, or any other text.Step 2:Examine theauthor's purpose. As with all texts we discuss in class, your job is to consider the author's purpose, make a claim (using evidence) about why he or she wrote the text, and who the text's intended audience might be. Look for a thesis statement and/or end-of- paragraph arguments and for the use of evidence to support the argument. Think about what kinds of changes the author is hoping to create in the reader's mind or actions as you evaluate the author's purpose. What obstacles is the author up against? Does the author cope with all those obstacles successfully? What means of appeal (such as pathos, logos and ethos) does the author employ? Make sure to quote sentences that demonstrate the author's main ideas in order to judge their effectiveness, and integrate those ideas into your argument.Also, consideraudience. Closely examine the title, the introduction, conclusion, examples, language and word choices that the author uses. What kind(s) of people do you think these would appeal to, and why? Are these people included in this target audience? How do their experiences suggest whether the author succeeded or not? Make sure to use quotes from the text that shows us for who the author intends to write.Step 3:Write a rough draft analysis of your text. Explain the author's rhetorical strategies. Explain how the author makes his or her argument. What kind of evidence does she provide to support her claim? Does this text speak to the intended audience? Why? Come to class prepared for peer review.Step 4: Revise your essay into a final draft. (3-4 typed pages) Update your rough draft using the notes you've received from peer review.Page length: 3-4 pagesFormat: MLA. 12 pt. Double-spaced. Times New Roman (this font). 1-inch margins. Pages numbered, no number on first page. No title page—put name, date, class and instructor on first page at the top, flush left (double-spaced).

It's hard not to root for Enes Kanter Freedom: a decade-long NBA vet and 2022 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
The sidelined center is on a fast-break to his career as a human rights activist after getting nominated for the accolade.
Kanter Freedom was reportedly selected by 30 Nobel laureates and a member of the Norwegian Parlament, as relayed by EuroHoops. He shared the news on Thursday and thanked his supporters for partaking in a message of liberation that has flown in the face of media and major corporations swayed by China's payoffs.
"I'm honored and humbled to receive the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize," Freedom announced, via Twitter. "Sometimes taking a stand is more important than your next paycheck."
Kanter Freedom also posted a separate picture that celebrated his status as a U.S. citizen.
After getting traded by the Boston Celtics to the Houston Rockets, Kanter Freedom anticipated that an eventual release from the NBA was pending due to his candid opposition to China and their infringement on human rights.
Enes appeared on "Firing Line with Margaret Hoover" the day before he was traded to the Rockets. In the interview, Kanter noted the NBA's tacit urge to cut the healthy 29-year-old center rather than signing him to a contract — bent on China's influence over the league.
"They're going to do everything they can to, I believe, not sign me now," Kanter Freedom stated.

I have a Lowepro Fastpack 250 that I have outgrown. I really like the Crumpler line (love the 6MDH, 7MDH, and Industry Disgrace I've had), so I am looking at getting the Crumpler Karachi Outpost...but I am unsure if I need the Medium or Large. My primary setup would include:
Canon EOS 7D
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM + Hood
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM + Hood
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM + Hood
Canon 430EX II
+ Accessories (Batteries, Tripod Collar Ring, CPL, Charger, Blower, Lens Paper, Lens Pen, Caps, etc.)
+ Netbook
The part I am worried about is that the Medium will not fit the lenses with the hoods attached. However, I'd like to keep the footprint as small as possible so I don't look like I'm hiking.
As more of a secondary question, if the Medium fits everything above with the hoods, will I also be able to fit my Canon EOS T1i + 18-55 IS + hood?...Or will this throw me into the Large for sure? Should I just get the Large to grow into (I'm considering getting the Canon 100L Macro and/or Sigma 10mm Fisheye)?
I was hoping to get some feedback from members that have had a first hand experience with this backpack. If anyone has pictures, even better! I'm also open to other suggestions. Thanks ahead for any help.

Adapting vocal music to a different text has been common practice since the Middle Ages. It was mostly secular music which was used for a sacred text. Among the best-known examples of such a practice are some of the cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, which were first conceived as secular works for special occasions. The present disc focuses on this practice of creating
- to use the technically correct term - at the time of Claudio Monteverdi. One of the main authors of such adaptations was Aquilino Coppini (?-1629). "Music drawn from madrigals and rendered spiritual" - that is the definition he gave to the kind of music which is the subject of this disc. Some years ago
released a disc with such
- as they are called on the frontispiece of the present disc - of madrigals by Andrea Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi. The originals were madrigals written in the
stile antico
. In a way the present disc is its counterpart as here the original pieces root in the monodic style, which emerged around 1600 and of which Monteverdi was an enthusiastic advocate.
The reasons for the creation of
are various. In Bach's case it was mainly that he needed music and the music he had written for special occasions was too good to be performed just once. In the time of Monteverdi there was a different reason. We are in the time of the Counter Reformation, which was a movement of spiritual renewal, inspired by the Reformation, whose figureheads criticised the worldly lifestyle of many representatives of the church. The Council of Trent decided to banish secular elements from the liturgy and the Church took an increasingly critical stance towards (secular) music in general.
The sacred
reflect the spirit of the Counter Reformation. The music editor and composer Giovanni Giovenale Ancina put it this way: "[In] many different sorts of works, not only vocal, of various more or less famous authors of our time (...) charming, profane texts are replaced by good, honest, devout and pious ones whilst their melodies are retained, only slightly altered if at all. Thus everyone, even religious persons (..) may enjoy these melodies without fear of scandal and be decently entertained." It is not entirely clear what the Church thought about this practice. The fact that the above-mentioned Coppini dedicated his adaptations to the archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Federico Borromeo, suggests that the church acknowledged the importance of music and was willing to use it for the dissemination of its own message, overlooking the profane roots of the
Although one cannot exclude that some of these were sung during the liturgy, it seems likely that they were intended for performance in domestic surroundings in the first place. That certainly is the case with pieces on an Italian text. Some madrigals were only slightly altered anyway. The present disc includes Monteverdi's madrigal
Prima vedrň che in questi prati nascano
, in which only one phrase was reworded: "per Clori anima mia" was changed into "per te dolce Gesů". In other cases the original text was completely replaced by a new one, mostly in Latin; an example is
Ecce panis angelorum
, an adaptation of the madrigal
Chiome d'oro
The pieces included here have either been preserved in manuscript or were included in four volumes of sacred concertos by Italian composers, which the German music editor and composer Ambrosius Profe from Breslau published in the 1640s (
Geistliche Concerten und Harmonien
, 1641-46). These editions include 43
, and these were intended for the German market they obviously are all on Latin texts.
This also has consequences for the way they are performed. In Germany these pieces may have been performed in church, and that justifies the accompaniment of a larger organ. Such an organ is used here, but its Italian sound and disposition makes it a less logical choice for the pieces taken from Profe's editions. In contrast, as the pieces on Italian texts were certainly not intended for liturgical use, there the use of a church organ is hardly appropriate.
That is one of the debatable aspects of this disc. The other is that the performers have included too many pieces which have little or nothing to do with the main subject of this disc. That obviously goes in particular for the organ pieces, but also for the intabulations, such as
Lasciatemi morire
, based on the opening of Monteverdi's famous
Lamento d'Arianna
. But the programme also includes several original sacred pieces, such as Alessandro Grandi's
Salvum me fac
. The programme ends with the concerto
Duo Seraphim
from Monteverdi's
Vespro della Beata Vergine
. As much as I understand the wish of the singers to perform this magnificent piece, it has nothing to do with the
practice and is also very well known. I would have liked the performers to stay closer to their chosen subject.
All in all the performances are pretty good. The text is given much attention and is clearly intelligible. Sometimes the tempo is a bit too slow, such as in
Ballo del Monteverde
. In Grandi's
Salvum me fac
both the highest and the lowest notes cause Christian Immler some problems. I would also like some stronger dynamic accents. The organ is a very fine instrument, and Maurizio Croci lays it well. This is certainly a disc worth being investigated, but I would like a more thorough exploration of a repertoire which has been given too little attention to date.

HMS Queen Elizabeth will next month partake in a series of multinational exercises with allies from a number of countries in the Philippine Sea.
Operating alongside Naval and Air Forces from the United States, Australia, France, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea, the Royal Navy's Carrier Strike Group (CSG) will spend time in August taking part in integration exercises designed to build interoperability between its international partners.
The group is being led by HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is leading CSG as it visits more than 40 nations after departing from Portsmouth on May 22.
READ MORE: HMS Queen Elizabeth trains with US Navy task groups highlighting 'might of partnership'
Among those exercises taking place will be air exercises as the F-35 Lightning programme with the US is developed further.
The jets, which combined are the largest concentration of F-35 jets anywhere in the world, recently took part in HMS Queen Elizabeth's first combat mission as UK and US fighter jets targeted IS forces in Syria and Iraq.
Other CSG activities whilst in the Philippine Sea will include anti-submarine exercises with US Pacific Fleet with allied submarines, helicopters and P8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
The plans were confirmed by UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace who met with Commander Admiral John C Aquilino on the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) in Hawaii.
He said: "As we witness a tilt in power towards the Indo-Pacific region, we are committed to working with our partners here to defend democratic values, tackle shared threats and keep our nations safe.
"The involvement of the UK's fifth generation Carrier Strike Group in this significant series of exercises right across the Indo-Pacific region highlights the renewed importance we place on the UK's long-standing defence and security relationships with our valued partners and allies in the region.
"As announced in the Integrated Review of Defence, Security and Foreign Policy earlier in the year, the UK is committed to a more persistent presence in the Indo-Pacific."

The CSG, which is made up of a number of ships, is on its maiden deployment and is sailing to Asia during the 28-week period.
Since leaving Portsmouth HMS Queen Elizabeth has visited a range of locations and destinations.
The aircraft carrier and the rest of the CSG have been involved in a number of training exercises with other nations such as France and Italy, and she also stopped at the Port of Augusta in Sicily on June 9.
She also spent time in Cyprus after three weeks at sea before last month travelling to Asia via the Suez Canal.

XAG/USD is making a new YTD high and near $27.00
- Over the past hour, silver has surged to a new YTD high of $26.94.
- Somber market sentiment and the commodities market rally keeps precious metals bid and weighing on the greenback.
- XAG/USD Technical Outlook: Sloping up and once clear of $27.00 next resistance would be above $28.00.
Silver (XAG/USD) rebounds for the first time this week making a new YTD high around $26.94 and pushing down the $27.00 level. At the time of writing, XAG/USD is trading at $26.64
Market sentiment is slightly higher on the back of the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine over the evacuation of civilians. Still, market participants' concerns sparked a double-digit rally across the commodity complex, led by oil, with WTI at $125 a barrel. In the metals complex, gold surges above the $2000 mark and base metals such as nickel are up almost 250%, causing trading to halt.
Global equity markets are trading lower for a second straight day as US Treasury yields are rising, with the benchmark 10-year bond trading at 1.858% up to 10 basis points, but this is ignored by precious metals traders. In contrast, the greenback has been hit by an appetite for the safe-haven precious metals complex, with the US Dollar Index down 0.28% and holding its nails at the 99.00 level.
The US Economy List showed trade balance for January, which came in at $89.7 billion, worse than the estimated $87.1 billion. In the same report, exports fell while imports increased, in a report that received less attention than expected.
XAG/USD Price Prediction: Technical Outlook
Silver is trending up. The daily chart shows the moving averages well below the spot price, with the 200-DMA coming closest to price at $24.12, followed by the 50-DMA and the 100-DMA.
With XAG/USD in full swing, first resistance would be July 5, 2021, daily high at $26.77. A breach of the latter would expose the $27.00 level. After clearing, there is no resistance until June 11, 2021, a daily high of $28.28, followed by May 18, 2021, a daily high of $28.75, on the way towards $29.00.
On the upside, XAG/USD first support would be Nov 16, 2021 daily high resistance turned into support at $25.40.

04 Mar Hearing Tests: How Often You Should Be Getting Them And The Benefits
If you're like most people, you don't think about getting your hearing checked very often. But did you know that you should be getting a hearing test on a regular basis? Many people don't realize how important it is to get their ears tested, and as a result, they may not notice the signs of hearing loss until it's too late. In this article, we will discuss the importance of hearing tests and how often you should be getting them. We'll also take a look at the benefits of getting your hearing evaluated regularly.
How Often Do You Need To Get A Hearing Test?
The answer to this question depends on your age and health. In general, you should be getting a hearing test at least once every two years. However, if you are over the age of 60 or have a history of hearing loss in your family, you may need to get your ears tested once a year. It's also important to get a hearing test if you notice any changes in your hearing ability.
The Signs You Should Get Your Hearing Test
Many signs can indicate that you need to get your hearing checked. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's time for a hearing evaluation:
- Difficulty understanding conversation in noisy environments
- Have trouble hearing soft sounds or noticing a decrease in your ability to hear high-pitched noises
- Tinnitus (ringing ears) that comes and goes without an obvious cause
- Feel like people are mumbling when they talk
- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
What Are The Benefits Of Getting Your Hearing Tested?
Hearing tests are an important part of keeping your ears healthy. They can help you detect any problems with your hearing early on, which can prevent further damage and improve your quality of life. Here are some of the benefits of getting regular hearing tests:
Early Detection Of Hearing Loss
One of the biggest benefits of getting a hearing test is that it can help you detect any signs of hearing loss early on. This is important because if left untreated, hearing loss can get worse over time. Getting a hearing test regularly will allow you to catch any problems with your hearing early on and get treatment started as soon as possible.
Improved Quality Of Life
Hearing loss can have a significant impact on your quality of life. It can cause you to miss out on important conversations with loved ones or even lead to isolation due to embarrassment about not being able to communicate effectively. Getting regular hearing tests can help prevent this from happening because it will allow you to catch any problems early on and get treatment started as soon as possible.
Better Communication
When you get your hearing tested regularly, you may be able to find better ways to communicate with others. If you have difficulty understanding certain sounds or words, there are devices and strategies that can help make communication easier for you.
It's time to include hearing tests in your routine health exams so that you can prevent further damage to your ears. If you are in need of a hearing test, get in touch with Sharpe Hearing Clinic today to book your appointment.
