The City Corporation will monitor the working of eateries and take action against those found violating health and hygiene rules. A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of health inspectors, presided over by the health officer here on Friday.
The meeting discussed inspections conducted in hotels over the past week and preparations for Onam celebrations. Over the past week, 84 hotels were inspected and 47 of these were issued notices for immediate clean-up and renovation. Those found dumping garbage in public places would be penalised. Action was being taken against 22 individuals found guilty. As many as 95 shops had been found using plastic carry bags of the banned specification. Street vendors had been given licences to operate in parts of the city during Onam. United Democratic Front (UDF) councillor R. Harikumar said UDF members would boycott the Onam celebrations of the Corporation on Saturday in protest against a notice put up by Corporation officials levelling charges against UDF councillors.

Model Number | Type of unit | Type of interconnection |
Ei407 | Wireless Manual Call Point | Radio-interlinked |
Ei410T | Remote Control Test Device | Radio-interlinked |
This is the technical data for the 9V Radio-Interlinked Heat Alarm - Ei3103RFU.
Product Code | EI3103RFU |
Weight | 0.19kg |
Dimensions (HxWxD) | 140x120x45mm |
Battery Type | Longlife Lithium Battery |
Sound Output | 85dB (minimum) at 3m |
Temperature Range | 0°C to 40°C |
Humidity Range | 15% to 95% Relative Humidity |
The following technical data sheets are available for this product:
Q. Do the Ei3100RF alarms require anything other than fixing to the ceiling to install them?
A. No, with this series of radio interlinked alarms there is nothing other than pressing the house code button required to install them.
Q. If the radio interlinking signal on one unit fails will the units still work as stand alone units.
A. Yes, should the radio interlinking signal fail the units will continue to sound independently should they detect a fire.
Q. Can a wireless router interfere with the radio interlinked alarms?
A. A wireless router is very unlikely to interfere with the signal of your radio interlinked alarms, as the RF signal of the smoke alarms is digitally coded.
Q. Do the radio interlinked units give out a constant signal all the time and does this decrease the battery life more than a non-interlinked alarm?
A. Yes, radio interlinked alarms are periodically sending and receiving signals from other units in the network and therefore the life of the battery is reduced. Units with alkaline batteries should have the batteries are changed annually [unless they are fitted with a sealed 10 year battery as eg in the Ei600RF series].
Q. Do I need to take out all the batteries in my radio-interlinked alarms before adding a new alarm into the system?
A. No, you do not need to remove all the batteries. Just simply press the house code button on all the units. Please ensure that the batteries have full power as this could render the house code process incomplete.
Q. Where more than one radio-interlinked battery operated smoke alarm is installed, if the battery in one alarm failed would the other alarms be affected?
A. If one alarm was to malfunction the other units would not be affected, if it was due to alarm failure. If the fault was with the radio-interlinking signal, then all alarms that are in the chain after the faulty alarm would be affected and they would not go off.
Q. Are the battery radio-interlinked smoke alarms suitable to install in a four storey house with thick walls?
A. Our radio-interlinked smoke detectors have a radio frequency range of about 30 meters in buildings. This means that as long as the detectors are all within 30 meters of each other, the interconnection should be achieved. Some of the RF smoke alarms can also act as repeaters, which means that larger distances can be achieved. So, a four storey house should normally be suitable for RF install.
Q. Is it possible to have a heat alarm mains powered radio interlinking alarm interconnect with battery powered radio-interlinked alarms?
A. Yes this entirely possible. The Ei140 series with RF base is mains powered and these are compatible to interlink with the battery operated Ei3100 series. Please view the interconnection overview on either of these alarms for further details.
Q. How can we test the alarm to make sure it is working?
A. The manufacturer's recommendation is to test the alarm by pressing the test button. This will simulate a heat input at the heat sensor. You can also test it with a hair dryer but make sure that the hairdryer is kept away at a suitable distance from the alarm. Do not attempt to test the alarm by using open fire or excessive heat as this may damage the unit.
Q. Do the three types of Ei3103 alarms interconnect with each other?
A. Yes, the Ei3103 range, Ei3100RF - Ionisation Smoke Alarm Ei3105RF - Optical Smoke Alarm Ei3103RFU - Heat Alarm, interconnect with each other. If one sounds it will send a radio-signal to the other units and they will then be activated.
Q. Are there any restrictions to the distance a radio-interlinked smoke alarm will work?
A. Most radio-interlinked alarms have a range of 150 meters in an open space and up to 30 meters in buildings. The thickness of the walls and partitions will affect the travel distance of the signal.

Radiation – more powerful than an X-ray – brings many benefits to today's cancer patients. It can diagnose, shrink and even kill off tumors.
From an interview with Virginia Clyburn-Ipock, MD McLeod Radiation Therapy
Today's radiation therapy for cancer uses computerized, multiple streams of highly focused beams to improve survival, reduce side effects and reduce the number of treatments needed.
From an interview with Virginia Clyburn-Ipock, MD McLeod Radiation Therapy
Today's radiation technology can improve cancer treatments and limit side effects. Radiation Therapist Dr. Virginia Clyburn-Ipock discusses:

The colon is the four to six feet of the large intestine and an important part of your digestive system. With the broad range of "bad for us" foods we impose on the colon – nachos, pizza, fries, steak, and BBQ to name just a few – it's no surprise that colon cancer strikes 1 in 18 Americans.
Medically reviewed by Timothy J. Spurling, M.D.
Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. However, it is also one cancer that can be prevented with regular screening through colonoscopy. "Most cancer in the colon – the first four to six feet of the large intestine -- develops from non-cancerous polyps," says McLeod Gastroenterologist Dr. Timothy J. Spurling. "It takes 10 to 15 years for a polyp to turn into cancer. So, if you have a colonoscopy or other screening test every five to 10 years, we should be able to catch any problem early."

For a man, the diagnosis of Prostate Cancer can be devastating. The concern is not so much for his ultimate survival (five-year survival rates are almost 100%; and at 10 years, almost 99%.). It's the specter of potential treatment side effects that strike directly at his "manhood" -- possible incontinence and erectile dysfunction. "Newer treatments, plus technical advances in surgery and radiation therapy, can reduce the side effects," says McLeod Radiation Oncologist Dr. T. Rhett Spencer. "Understanding the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer is important, because early treatment can also help limit the side effects."
Medically reviewed by Rajesh Bajaj, MD
Cancer is about survival. One key to your long-term survival is…YOU. "One in 3 people with cancer also struggles with anxiety or depression, according to a new study," says McLeod Oncologist Dr. Rajesh Bajaj. "The study also found that breast cancer patients were twice as likely to suffer unusual mental stress than other cancer patients. Not surprising, when you factor in the issues of breast surgery and reconstruction."

At some point you have probably read a reference to "super foods" that can be eaten to help prevent cancer. However, most nutrition and cancer experts will tell you that no single food will prevent cancer. Foods -- and humans -- are complex. Foods contain many chemicals. And, our interaction with the food we eat is not a simple, purified version of a chemical mixing with cells in a test tube. "There are food groups and some specific foods that probably lower the risk of cancer," says McLeod Oncologist Dr. Rommel Lu. "And, some elements in food can convincingly lower the risk of a specific type of cancer."

"Where's coach?" several players asked. His absence from the regular Monday meeting struck the attendees as more than unusual. It was extraordinary for their NFL head coach to miss this critical weekly team meeting. Indianapolis Colts Coach Chuck Pagano "skipped" that meeting in 2012 because he was in the hospital being treated for leukemia.

Surviving breast cancer starts with spotting it early by keeping a close eye out for a new breast lump, pain or swelling in the breast (especially in the nipple) or nipple discharge other than milk. Although the actual cause of breast cancer isn't yet known, there are a number of healthy habits that can help prevent it:

Mammograms don't prevent cancer and they have their limitations. Yet, mammograms are the most effective way available to screen women for breast cancer. "Studies show that regular mammograms lower a woman of 50's risk of dying by 35%," says McLeod Radiologist Dr. Noel Phipps. "Screening mammograms are an essential part of the overall process of discovering and treating breast cancer, along with a woman's self-exam and a physician's clinical exam."

Radiation therapy for cancer is delivered in two primary forms: External, in which a large x-ray generator sits outside the patient directing beams into the patient and Internal, where the radiation is placed inside the patient mere millimeters from the tumor or directly inside the tumor. Internal Radiation Therapy is also called Brachytherapy. Roughly translated, it means "short distance therapy" – it's a short distance between the radiation and the tumor. A small thin tube – called a catheter – is used to deliver radioactive solids to the site of the cancer. Solids can be capsules, seeds, micro-spheres, or ribbons about the size of a grain of rice. Other methods of internally delivering radioactive material to the site of the disease/tumor include ingestion of a pill (ex., for thyroid cancer) or injection/infusion through an IV (ex., for bone cancer).

Melanie sat at her kitchen table, sipping her coffee, enjoying the birds in the garden. She smiled, recalling the positive prognosis she received after finishing chemotherapy for her breast cancer. "I'm going to phone Mom and tell her," Melanie thought. Then, she couldn't remember a phone number she had called thousands of time. "Oh well," she thought, "I'll make some lunch." Yet, struggle as she might, Melanie couldn't remember the ingredients for her favorite recipe.

"In many cases, the high mortality rate of lung cancer is related to a late diagnosis," says McLeod Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. Gregory Jones. "Other cancers we hear about – colon, breast and prostate – have screening tests. With the new guidelines, maybe we can detect lung cancer earlier."

Now – more than ever before – survival is a realistic possibility for cancer patients, thanks to new technology, drugs and therapies. PALLIATIVE CARE. While cancer specialists treat the disease (with survival as the goal), palliative care specialists can treat the patient's pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression associated with cancer. A study has shown that use of palliative care may even improve a cancer patient's survival. Unfortunately, not all cancers can be cured. And there may come a point -- no matter how good your cancer doctors, available treatments or even clinical trials – where therapies are no longer controlling the disease.
Medically reviewed by Rommel Lu, MD
Cancer patients often feel tired physically, mentally and emotionally. Not surprising, given the struggle and stress of testing, surgery, radiation therapy and the attack of chemotherapy on cancer cells. "X-rays and lab tests can't tell us about a cancer patient's fatigue," Says McLeod Oncologist Dr. Rommel Lu. "It's the patients who tell us. They complain of heaviness in arms and legs. They also have trouble concentrating and completing everyday tasks. They might be irritable and take less care in their personal appearance. Knowing more about the problem can help cancer patients deal with their fatigue."

Pregnancy termination for genetic indications: the impact on families. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 6515519 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Results are presented from a study of the experiences of families in which mothers terminated a pregnancy following detection of a serious defect in the fetus. Responses indicate that even very young children and those sheltered from knowledge of the event showed reactions to their parents' distress and maternal absence. Younger children may experience particular difficulties in coping with complete information about such a complex decision. Recommendations are made for social work service before, during, and after hospitalization for the pregnancy termination. |

New research shows most Californians would prefer a natural death at home without becoming a burden on family. But few document their wishes, leaving their loved ones in the dark.
When it comes to how they want to spend their final days, Californians would prefer to die a natural death at home without being a burden, financially or emotionally, on their families. Yet according to a new poll released today by the California HealthCare Foundation, a disparity exists between what people say they want at the end of life and what actually occurs.
The survey, Final Chapter: Californians' Attitudes and Experiences with Death and Dying, finds nearly 8 in 10 Californians say that if seriously ill, they would want to speak with their doctor about end-of-life care, but fewer than 1 in 10 report having had a conversation, including just 13% of those age 65 or older.
Additionally, while 82% say that it is important to put their wishes in writing, less than one quarter have actually done so. More than half say they have not talked with a loved one about the kind of care they want at the end of life.
The survey explores differences in attitudes toward death and dying among major ethnic groups in California. For example, Latinos rate "living as long as possible" much more highly than other groups.
"With end-of-life treatment, there is a clear gap between wishes and actions," said Mark D. Smith, MD, MBA, president and CEO of the California HealthCare Foundation, which commissioned the survey. "People consistently stress they want to die comfortably and without pain. If so, the single most important thing they can do is to talk to their loved ones and physicians, and put their wishes in writing, something most Californians aren't doing."
The survey finds patients' wishes regarding treatment are not always honored. Only 44% of Californians who have lost a loved one in the last 12 months say their loved one's end-of-life preferences were completely followed and honored by medical providers. These numbers drop to 26% for those whose loved ones experienced a language barrier and 25% for those who were uninsured at the time of death.
Similarly, most Californians would prefer to die at home, but that is not typical. Seventy percent of those surveyed say their home is their preferred place of death, but only 32% passed away in their homes, according to death records data from the California Department of Public Health.
A major barrier to effective end-of-life planning is the lack of frank discussion between patients and health care providers. The average 15-minute office visit does not leave time to explore the natural progression of illness and the preferred treatment options for those nearing death.
As part of its original package to expand health coverage, the Obama Administration proposed requiring public and private insurance to cover voluntary conversations about end-of-life planning between patients and providers. After the issue became politicized, the idea was dropped from the final bill.
The new poll finds broad support among Californians, regardless of political affiliation, for reimbursing doctors to talk about end-of-life options. Eighty-four percent of Democrats, 72% of Republicans, and 80% of Independents say it would be a good idea to pay for the conversation.
To help patients have their say if they are unable to speak, CHCF promotes the use of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Developed in Oregon two decades ago, POLST is a standardized medical order form (in California it is printed on bright pink paper) that indicates the specific types of treatment a seriously ill patient does or does not want. The voluntary form is signed by the doctor and the patient and is designed to travel with a patient across medical settings.
POLST complements, but does not replace, the Advance Health Care Directive. An advance directive, which should be filled out by any adult regardless of one's health status, provides a broad outline of a person's wishes relating to end-of-life care, and allows an individual to appoint a "health care proxy" — the person they want to speak on their behalf. Only POLST, however, carries the power of a physician order.
According to the survey, nearly two-thirds of Californians say they would want to complete a POLST form if they became seriously ill, including 77% of those who are 65 or older. Seventy-one percent say they would want a seriously ill loved one to complete the form so they could understand their wishes.
In 2009, nearly 100,000 Californians with serious illness died in hospitals, according to public health records. Palliative care treats pain and other symptoms, provides psychosocial and spiritual support, and ensures that medical treatments align with patient and family wishes. Increasingly, hospitals are recognizing the enormous value of palliative care to patients who are seriously ill.
CHCF is releasing an accompanying report on palliative care: When Compassion Is the Cure: Progress and Promise in Hospital-Based Palliative Care. Produced by the National Health Foundation and the University of California, San Francisco Palliative Care Program, it profiles the state of palliative care in California's acute care hospitals.
Among the findings:
Additional resources, including a consumer guide for developing an advance directive from the American Bar Association and videos of individuals and family members reflecting on their experiences with these issues, can be found at www.chcf.org/endoflifecare.
On behalf of CHCF, the survey was conducted by Lake Research Partners in late 2011 among a representative sample of 1,669 Californians age 18 and older, including 393 respondents who lost a loved one in the past 12 months. The margin of error is 2.4 percentage points for the total results.
This survey was developed by the Palliative Care Program at the University of California, San Francisco and administered by the National Health Foundation in the fall of 2011. All 377 acute care hospitals in California were asked to participate. Ninety-six percent responded, and 71% of respondents provided details about their palliative care programs.
The Coalition for Compassionate Care of California is a statewide partnership of nearly 200 regional and statewide organizations dedicated to the advancement of palliative medicine and end-of-life care in California. For more information visit www.CoalitionCCC.org.
The California HealthCare Foundation works as a catalyst to fulfill the promise of better health care for all Californians. We support ideas and innovations that improve quality, increase efficiency, and lower the costs of care.

Action Bronson - Drug Sh*t
Artist: Action Bronson
Producer: DJ Semi
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 3 votes )
Last seen playing second fiddle to Fat Joe on late-August mixtape cut Your Honor, Action Bronson steps back into the spotlight with a non-album cut of his own. Contrary to what its title suggests, Drug Sh*t isn't about narcotics, per se. Instead, it sounds like the work of a man who's too high to stay on any one subject—even the subject of getting high. Over co-headliner DJ Semi's stately string/bell loops, the Flushing, Queens native mixes scatological trash talk and shotgun-toting street lyricism with oddball revelations regarding his sex life: "I'm kinky, I'll hit it even if it's stinky / Put 'em in the shower, make her p*ssy brand new." While his bars are surprisingly light on food references, he does chow down on "the biggest piece of chicken at the table" in the final verse. If Drug Sh*t's left you fiending for more, stay tuned; as mentioned above, the cut is an unofficial remix by DJ Semi, but we'll keep you posted on Action Bronson's plans as further details emerge.

The Machars (Scottish Gaelic: Machair (Ghallghaidhealaibh); lit. "the Plains (of Galloway)") is a peninsula in Galloway in the south-west of Scotland. The word is derived from the Gaelic word Machair meaning low lying or level land, known as "links" on the east coast of Scotland. Although there are no high peaks in the Machars, it is not flat and would best be described as undulating or rolling. The North Atlantic Drift or Gulf Stream creates a mild climate, and dolphins and basking sharks are frequently seen in the seas.
The Machars peninsula is roughly defined by a northern boundary stretching from Newton Stewart to Glenluce, the only other boundary being the sea. The 40-mile (64 km) coastline has enormous variety, starting with the mud-flats of Wigtown on the east facing Wigtown Bay, down to the sandy beach at Rigg Bay in Garlieston (where the Mulberry Harbours were developed). The coastline then rises to form dramatic cliffs as it passes the ruins of Cruggleton Castle, dropping a little at Portyerrock Bay and the Isle of Whithorn, and rising again at Burrow Head (where much of the cult classic The Wicker Man was filmed).
Past the southern tip of the peninsula, the shoreline leaves Wigtown Bay and becomes part of Luce Bay. The cliffs continue as far as the beautiful sandy beach at Monreith (home of the author Gavin Maxwell), and on past Port William. A combination of rocky shoreline, sandy beaches and cliffs continues as far as Auchenmalg and Stairhaven before the sandy dunes approaching Glenluce. Two rivers cut through the peninsula, the River Bladnoch which rises at Loch Maberry and meets the sea just south of Wigtown, and one of its major tributaries the Tarf Water which meets the Bladnoch near Kirkcowan. Another tributary of the Bladnoch is the large stream the Water of Malzie which rises in the large expanses of peat bog near the Old Place of Mochrum before meeting the Bladnoch near Corzmalie.
Generally speaking the Eastern half of the Machars can be described as being a landscape of rolling green hills and scattered woodland which forms a perfect setting for the large scale dairy industry which can be found here. In fact up until recent decades a large scale creamery was to be found at Sorbie although this has now closed. This landscape extends to the far southern extremities of the peninsula, however the landscape to the North West is significantly different, where above the raised beaches of Luce Bay a rugged expanse of moorland and bog can be found, more reminiscent of the rough country to the north. The highest point of the Machars can be found here, Mochrum Fell, however for the most part the terrain can be characterised as a series of low, stony ridges interspersed by large expanses of peat bog and moorland and many small lochs. This part of the Machars is generally associated with large scale forestry plantations, especially of Sitka Spruce, and stock-rearing, either the hardy Belted Galloway or more typically Galloway cattle or sheep.
The other principal settlements on the peninsula are: Kirkcowan, Whithorn, Kirkinner, Sorbie, Mochrum, Elrig, Bladnoch and Whauphill.
There are a number of large lochs in the area including Mochrum Loch, Castle Loch and the White Loch of Myrton.
The area is rich in prehistoric remains, mainly in the form of standing stones and cup and ring marks. The most notable of these are Torhousekie and Drumtroddan. In Castle Loch near The Old Place of Mochrum are the remains of several crannogs.
The primary industry in the area was agriculture, though today the tourist industry probably employs more people and generates more income.
Burrow Head (the southernmost tip of the peninsula) is about eighteen miles from Point of Ayre on the Isle of Man, and trade links have long existed between the two places, much of which involved smuggling.
RAF Wigtown[edit]
The Machars is also home to the former RAF Wigtown. The airfield, which was opened in 1941 and is often referred to as Baldoon, was used in World War Two as a training school - hosting the No 1 Air Observers School from September 13, 1941, to February 1, 1942, and operating in conjunction with a tracked target range near the coast to the southeast.
Although the site originally consisted of grass runways, flooding of the land soon caused these to become unusable, and two concrete runways were installed during 1942.
Operations at the airfield ceased in 1945, to coincide with the end of the war, and control of the site was given over Maintenance Command who was placed in care and maintenance, transferring to No 14 Maintenance Unit from July 1, 1946, to March 1, 1948, when the airfield was finally closed.[1]
Despite considerable deterioration the airfield remains intact; with the original control tower still standing and nearly all the perimeter and access roads remaining. Furthermore, the concrete bases of many of the hangars and other buildings can still be seen on the ground.
Today much of the land has reverted to agricultural use, with the site becoming popular for locals to conduct leisure activities – such as walking or cycling.
Saint Ninian[edit]
Saint Ninian first brought Christianity to what-would-become Scotland via the Machars, founding a small church at the Isle of Whithorn from which a mediæval cathedral later sprang at Whithorn. Ninian studied under St Martin of Tours and can lay claim to bringing Christianity to Scotland long before St Columba, whose church at Iona is often mistakenly credited as the cradle of Scottish Christianity.

by Staff Writers Miami (AFP) June 9, 2011 Adrian strengthened to a major hurricane Thursday off the Pacific coast of Mexico, with sustained winds of 115 miles (185 kilometers) per hour but posing no immediate threat to land, the US National Hurricane Center said. The first hurricane of the 2011 season, Adrian was a category three storm centered around 440 miles (710 kilometers) south-southeast of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and was moving northwest. "This general motion is expected to continue during the next two days... keeping the hurricane away from the coast of Mexico," the NHC said in an update. The Miami-based hurricane center said Adrian could strengthen Thursday or Friday but then weaken. While the storm was not expected to hit land, the hurricane center said swells from Adrian "will continue to affect a portion of the southwestern Mexico coast" and "could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents." The hurricane season, which started on June 1 and runs until November 30, will feature atmospheric conditions which experts predict will lead to formation of 12 to 18 named tropical storms in the Atlantic zone, of which six to 10 could become hurricanes, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA forecasts an elevated threat this year to the United States and Caribbean nations, and predicts between three and six major storms of Category 3 intensity or higher on the five-level Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.

Amies, Sir Hardy (1909-2003)
Sir Hardy Amies was for 48 years the Queen of England's official dressmaker. As a couturier he was known for his restrained, conservative, but beautifully tailored suits and dresses. He was also famed for his self-confessed snobbery. "I can't help it," he said, "I'm immensely impressed by all genuine upper-class manifestations." Born in London on July 17, 1909, Edwin Hardy Amies was the son of a civil servant and a saleswoman at a firm that made clothing for members of the Court. After leaving school in 1927 he worked in France and Germany, where he became fluent in French and German. He returned to England in 1933 and was appointed designer at London's House of Lachasse. By 1935 he was managing director as well as chief designer. Lachasse closed in 1939 with the outbreak of World War II. During the war, Amies served in the intelligence corps. He also continued designing as he worked with the British Board of Trade to design clothes for the domestic market that conformed to the requirements of the clothes rationing program, as well as luxury couture to sell abroad. On leaving the army in 1946 Amies bought a bombed out house at 14 Savile Row and set up his own couture house. In 1951 the then Princess Elizabeth asked Amies to design some day clothes for a tour of Canada. This was the beginning of a long and productive relationship. In 1955 Amies became, by appointment, one of the new queen's dressmakers. He continued in this position until 1990 when he felt it was time for younger designers to dress the queen. In 1989, in recognition of his long service as the queen's dressmaker, he was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order. Amies' clothes for the queen were often criticized for making her look dowdy, but Amies defended his designs, maintaining that the queen's dresses suited her: "She feels that being terribly chic is not friendly to her audience. She doesn't want to dazzle people," he said in 1989. His reserved royal outfits, in the clever fluid tailoring that became his signature, followed the maxim that "day clothes must look equally as good at Salisbury station and at the Ritz bar." As well as creating couture dresses, Amies had been creating a ready-to-wear line since 1950. In the early 1960s, he created a dynamic line of menswear based on the athletic male body. His men's clothes had a huge influence on men's high street fashion when he became the design adviser to Hepworth's, a chain of tailors. Amies was frequently asked to design uniforms and special clothes for groups such as the Oxford University Boat Club and London Stock Exchange guides. Like many other fashion designers he designed costumes for the stage and film, most notably for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). In May 2001 Amies sold his business to the Luxury Brands Group. Upon Amies' retirement at the end of 2001, Moroccan-born designer Jacques Azagury was appointed the house's new head of couture. Sir Hardy Amies had a zest for life. As Colin McDowell wrote in his obituary for The Guardian, he "appreciated the good things in life and was a connoisseur of good food, fine wines and firm male flesh." In his old age Amies was relaxed about acknowledging his homosexuality, often referring to it in a witty (and somewhat bitchy) fashion. Speaking of his royal dressmaking rival Sir Norman Hartnell, he said, "It's quite simple. He was a silly old queen and I'm a clever old queen." Amies and his partner, Ken Fleetwood (who was design director of Hardy Amies Ltd), were together for 43 years until Fleetwood's death in 1996. Amies, who had in his early life dreamt of becoming a journalist, had a quick intelligence, sharp wit, and sparkling sense of humor, all of which are apparent in his autobiography, which appeared in two parts, Just So Far (1954) and Still Here (1984). Sir Hardy Amies died on March 5, 2003. |

Hi Power Grips from Hakan Pek...
Hello. I am happy to announce that Hakan Pek of "Grips by Hakan" is soon to be offering grips for the Hi Power pistol. He'd received numerous requests for these and after much effort has been able to conquer the problems associated with making these.
So far as I know, I have the only protype set in existence and Mr. Pek will not be getting these back...unless he asks! Here they are on a 9mm Mk III Hi Power. These are the same stocks on an older Hi Power. These stocks fit without having to enlarge the grip screw hole as is sometimes required from other grip makers and they fit snugly into place and should not move or rotate fore and aft should the grip screws loosen during extended firing sessions. While I do NOT have extended factory ambidextrous safeties on my Hi Powers, the extended lever on the left side of the pistol works just fine with Hakan's grips in place. I think they'll work fine with the ambis, but do not have a set here to try out. These stocks will soon be available from Hakan Pek. For information on pricing, delivery times, and options in style, go to Mr. Pek's site at: http://www.imageseek.com/hakan/ Contact information is there and you will find Hakan Pek to be a gentleman of the highest order. For those interested, a more detailed report is at: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/H...P%20Stocks.htm Best. |

While I have a nice set of Spegels on my HP, it is SORELY tempting to pick up a set to match the Hakan grips I have on my CZ75 and 1911...
Hakan, those look real nice. Mr. Camp, thanks for another well written review.

Howell set for big Whites clash
Roberto Di Matteo's stuttering side travel to in-form Leeds in need of a victory to re-ignite their bid for automation promotion after failing to win in their last three games.
Leeds, in contrast, have won five and drawn two of their last seven League One games to move up to fifth, four points behind the fourth-placed Dons.
Howell told the club's official website: "All the boys are looking forward to it, everyone's desperate to play, it's a great stadium and the atmosphere is going to be unbelievable.
"After Tuesday's result (a 2-2 draw against Crewe) we'll definitely be up for it. We always seem to play well against the big teams, we dominated Leicester here, so maybe this is just the kind of game we need.
"We won 3-1 against Leeds here in what I think was one of our best performances of the season so it will give us a lot of confidence. But obviously they're going to remember that so they're going to come at us on Saturday."

Did Marco Polo Actually Visit China?
Yong Tiam Kui, in the New Straits Times (Malaysia) (March 3, 2004):
IN his famous travelogue Description of the World, Italian traveller and explorer Marco Polo claimed that he reached China with his father and uncle in 1275, met Kublai Khan and impressed him so much that the Mongol emperor made him a special emissary. He said he was sent on missions throughout China and governed the city of Yangzhou for three years before returning to Venice in 1295.
Scholars now suspect that Marco Polo never actually went to China. They believe that he could have gained his knowledge of the Middle Kingdom from Arab or Persian guidebooks.
This is because while he described some features of Chinese society such as porcelain, and the use of coal and paper money, he neglected to mention many others.
For instance, he did not mention tea, chopsticks, foot-binding, the Chinese writing system, woodblock printing and the Great Wall.
Furthermore, no reference to Polo has ever been found in the Yuan Shih (the official history of the Mongol Yuan dynasty).
It would have been extremely unusual for Chinese historians, who meticulously recorded everything for posterity, to have neglected to mention so important a personage as Polo if he had really served as an envoy of the emperor and been governor of an important city like Yangzhou.
What's more, he also failed to learn Chinese or pick up even a few Chinese or Mongol place-names despite having supposedly lived in China for 17 years.
In 1998, National Geographic photographer Michael Yamashita set out to prove once and for all that Polo was a fraud. Using Polo's book as a travel guide, he spent the better part of two years retracing the footsteps of the Venetian explorer.
After retracing the entire route, Yamashita is utterly convinced that Polo's account was based on first-hand experience.
"I wanted to see for myself how accurate he was. What really struck me was how accurate and detailed he was and how much one man contributed to geographic knowledge. There is no doubt in my mind that he did go to China," says Yamashita in an interview conducted recently in Taipeh, Taiwan.

Karamürsel, Sacit and Bullock, T.H. (1994) Dynamics of event-related potentials to trains of light and dark flashes: responses to missing and extra stimuli in elasmobranch fish. [Journal (Paginated)]
Full text available as:
HTML 71Kb |
To characterize the dependencies of ERPs in lower vertebrates and brain levels upon recent history and sequences of stimuli, trains of flashes were delivered at various frequencies to unanesthetized rays while recording in optic tectum and telencephalon. ERPs to repetitive stimuli cannot be understood in terms of simple refractoriness and recovery. Processes must be invoked such as simultaneous excitation and suppression, facilitation and its opposite, rebound and induced rhythms, each with development and decay times and nonlinearities. Some of these processes are uncovered by omitting a stimulus from a train. Omitted stimulus potentials (OSPs) act as though the brain expects a stimulus within 5-7 ms of the interstimulus interval (ISI) of the train. Very few ISIs suffice. The effect upon VEP form and duration of the number of stimuli in short trains, before the steady state response (SSR) is established, is complex. Alternation of the amplitude of successive VEPs (1 large every 2 VEPs, 1 in 3, 1 in 4) is one indication of complexities in the SSR. OSPs also alternate. A single extra stimulus interpolated into a regular train causes distinct effects according to its position. Sharp discontinuities in these effects appear with <5 ms shifts. Total power of the SSR decreases with stimulation frequency but there is a large peak of increased power at 7 Hz and another at 12 Hz. Induced rhythms are a labile, late phase of OSPs as well as of rested VEPs and of the OFF response to a long light pulse. Jittered ISI experiments show that the apparent expectation of the OSP is little affected and that the intervals in the last few hundred milliseconds are most influential. The OSP studied here (ISI <0.5 s)is quite different from that so far studied in human subjects (ISI >1s). We predict further similarities when each taxon is tested in the other ISI range. A major category of response characteristics, besides sensitivity, receptive fields and recovery times, is dependence upon recent history of iterative events, including intervals, delays, omissions and perhaps multiple facilitating and forgetting time constants. The variables examined parametrically in this study are only some of those available. Such dynamical characteristics are important neglected properties of afferent systems at each level.
