It's a really good place to go and stay over a week or more. The place is lovely and it's quite easy to go around by bus ( the bus runs just in front of the hotel) or by taxi (quite cheap). Also the staff is completely helpful and the lady who stays at the hotel will help you with whatever you want to do and she's so lovely. Also there are a lot of groceries shops and cheap restaurants around, really nice.

We were travelling as a couple and stayed 5 nights at Kerkyra Rooms. The room was facing the seaside and had a wonderful balcony. Everything was prepared lovely and if there was anything we needed we just had to ask. We were welcomed very friendly by the owner and Sarah-Jane told us everything we had to know about the island and its best places. The location is just perfect if you have a car to experience the island because it is quite in the middle of everything. We recommend Kerkyra Rooms!

Friendly family-hostel. They do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible, but they manage to do so without you feeling your privacy being compromised. Daily cleaning of the rooms, nice standard! The location is perfect! 5min walk to the tourist-strip in Benitses with loads of taverns and restaurants. The beach is 2 - 5min walk, loads of sunbeds - usually owned by the different taverns. We will stay with SJ and her family the next time we travel to Benitses, no doubt about it!

We arrived in Corfu to a beautiful room with a double bed, that was tastefully decorated with a balcony looking onto the street and a private bathroom. For what we paid it was great value for money! The staff were incredible, they provided information about what to see and do on the island and Sarah even accompanied us to the bus station the morning of departure to ensure we would get to the airport! There was always someone on site and the room was cleaned daily.

Artist: Annie Lennox
Album: A Christmas Cornucopia
Genre: Pop
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's powers
When we were gone astray
Glad tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Glad tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
"Fear not then," said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might"
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Arp 220
Arp 220 | |
Observation data (J2000 epoch) | |
Constellation | Serpens |
Right ascension | 15h 34m 57.1s[1] |
Declination | +23° 30′ 11″[1] |
Redshift | 5434 ± 7 km/s[1] |
Distance | 250 Mly (77 Mpc)[citation needed] |
Type | S?[1] |
Apparent dimensions (V) | 1′.5 x 1′.2[1] |

Arp 220 is the result of a collision between two galaxies which are now in the process of merging. Located 250 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens, it is the 220th object in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
Arp 220 is the closest Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG) to Earth. Its energy output was discovered by IRAS to be dominated by the far-infrared part of the spectrum.[2] It is often regarded as the prototypical ULIRG and has been the subject of much study as a result. Most of its energy output is thought to be the result of a massive burst of star formation, or starburst, probably triggered by the merging of two smaller galaxies. Recent (2002 and 1997) HST observations of Arp 220, taken in visible light with the ACS, and in infrared light with NICMOS, revealed more than 200 huge star clusters in the central part of the galaxy. The most massive of these clusters contains enough material to equal about 10 million suns.[3] X-ray observations by the Chandra and XMM-Newton satellites have shown that Arp 220 probably includes an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at its core, which raises interesting questions about the link between galaxy mergers and AGN, since it is believed that galactic mergers often trigger starbursts, and may also give rise to the supermassive black holes that appear to power AGN.
Luminous far-infrared objects like Arp 220 have been found in surprisingly large numbers by sky surveys of submillimetre wavelengths using instruments such as the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Arp 220 and other relatively local ULIRGs are being studied as equivalents of this kind of object.
Astronomers from the Arecibo Observatory have detected organic molecules in the galaxy.[4]
Arp 220 contains at least two bright maser sources, an OH megamaser, and a water maser.[5]
In October 2011, astronomers spotted a record-breaking seven supernova all found at the same time in Arp 220.[6][7][8]

What an exceptionally well written and balanced article about an art teacher under attack. What a shame that in the year 2006 we still have to deal with this sort of ignorance. If the article is correct, he seems to have approached the subject in a very professional manner. I remember a few nude drawings and paintings on display at Scholastics in Kansas City. I believe they were done outside the high school art classrooms, most likely in classes for advanced high school students at the Kansas City Art Institute. I'll keep checking on the outcome of this sad situation. But since I'm from Kansas, "where the earth is flat" nothing like this surprises me. Woody

The Underwear Models On This Week's Episode Of "Drag Race" Changed Our Lives
RuPaul brought in twenty-two Andrew Christian underwear models to play a mini-challenge called "Whatcha Packin?" and it was amazing. Like, really, really amazing.
2. It's always nice to see the Pit Crew. Hey, Jason! Hey, Shawn!
3. Wait a minute… Who are these guys?
4. Oh. Oh, my.
6. The object of Watcha Packin'? is to find the models with matching pairs of underwear which means…
7. Yep.
8. Mmmhmm.
9. Well, let's get started!
11. How about 15?
13. How about 6?
14. Oh, 6. You cad!
16. 10?
17. We have a match! A whole lot of… match.
19. Even the models were impressed with the models.
20. There's product placement, and then there's product placement.
23. Sometimes losing feels like winning.
24. At some point, the game kind of devolved.
(We still aren't complaining though.)

There's a scene in the TV show "Mad Men" when one of the characters, commenting on the news of the day, says that if Medicare were to become law the nation would be just steps away from socialism. The moment comes and goes in a flash. It's 1964, the year before Medicare actually became law.
The fictional character, of course, was reflecting an attitude prevalent among some on the far right back then. And by a few today, though perhaps fewer soon enough.
There's a fight going on inside the Republican party over Medicare. On one side are those who want to fundamentally change Medicare. On the other side are those who just want to change the subject.
Medicare, one of the most popular government programs of all time, is the health insurance program for the elderly and disabled. It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson with a promise to provide a much-needed safety net to those who needed it most.
Earlier this year, when Republicans in the House nearly all signed on to a proposal from Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., they were overcome by a fear of our titanic debt. But many of them went home to find that their constituents had different worries indeed. They feared that the Ryan plan would dismantle Medicare, and they told their representatives this – loud and clear.
Republicans in the Senate who will be running for reelection next year have picked up on this trend, of course. Expect them to be all but silent on the issue. Ask one of them about the Ryan plan, and he might well start talking about Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan. Anything but Medicare.
Expect more House members to follow a similar course. They know which way the wind is blowing. And they know that only a true mad man would equate Medicare with socialism.

Last year, you may have gone an entire day without Wikipedia thanks to the SOPA blackout. In January 2012, thousands of websites went dark for a day to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
And it worked. The bills died. It's like the old saying: Give a man a bill summary, and he'll promptly ignore it. Stand between a man and his access to crowd-sourced reference materials, and he'll make a call to Congress.
But SOPA and PIPA were so last year. This current threat to the Internet is CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. And it could be bad news for your clients.
Officially, the bill provides "for the sharing of certain cyber threat intelligence and cyber threat information between the intelligence community and cybersecurity entities." Unofficially, opponents say that it gives companies an incentive to hand over user information to the government, PCMag.com reports.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) offers this description of the bill:
CISPA offers broad immunities to companies who choose to share data with government agencies (including the private communications of users) in the name of cybersecurity. It also creates avenues for companies to share data with any federal agencies, including military intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA).
CISPA would give the government an easy path to collecting evidence, all in the name of cybersecurity. Gregory T. Nojeim, Director of the Project on Freedom, Security & Technology at the Center for Democracy & Technology explained to Think Progress:
This risks turning the cybersecurity program into a back door intelligence surveillance program run by a military entity with little transparency or public accountability.
The good news here is that the White House has indicated that President Obama may veto CISPA if passed in its current form, according to PC Magazine.
If you specialize in cybercrimes, you'll want to keep an eye on CISPA. Even an amended version of the bill could give the government an easier way to gather evidence against your clients.

Plus One, a 2-year-old filly from the second crop of Bluegrass Cat, made a sharp debut at the races on May 25, rolling to a 4 3/4-length victory in a $39,000 maiden special weight at Presque Isle Downs.
The chestnut filly vied for the early lead before proving too fast for her rivals in the stretch, drawing off decisively to cross the wire alone in the 4 1/2-furlong contest. The final time was 51.69 seconds over the local Tapeta surface, earning the filly a solid 72 Beyer for the performance – one of the fastest for a juvenile this early in the season.

By opening up the 150,000-square-foot concrete fortress that stores the updates, photos, videos, "Likes," and "Dislikes," of millions of Facebook users to tours, Facebook officials put an exclamation point on last week's vow to share the technology that built the place.
Officials showed off the multimillion-dollar state-of-the-art structure that they say uses 40 percent less energy than comparable facilities. Nevertheless, Facebook officials still fielded questions about the company's controversial use of PacifiCorp electricity, which is derived mostly from coal.
The data center will employ about 40 people, from computer server technicians to security guards. The full time jobs offer a sliver of economic hope for Crook County, which has seen its jobless rate hover between 17 percent to 20 percent.Today's events, with a giant, festively decorated tent outside, was choreographed for celebration. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg arrived at 8:15 p.m. The mayor presented him with an orange Prineville hoodie.
Before Zuckerberg arrived,
two top Facebook officials led tours and answered reporters' questions: Jonathan Heiliger, vice president of technical operations, and Tom Furlong, director of site operations.
The tour offered a glimpse of the data center's second-level "evaporative cooling system," the multi-layer method of transforming central Oregon air of all temperatures into a target of 80.6 degrees Fahrenheit with 65 percent relative humidity.
The air is routed through four elongated rooms that clean and cool it. One room is covered with an estimated 1,000 air filters similar to those found in home ventilation systems. Facebook officials acknowledged it would be a chore to change the filters.A constant one-direction flow sends the air down to the data center's ground level, where thousands of computer servers, arrayed in dozens of rows, handle the data for about half of Facebook's 500 million users. However, at any one time, as Facebook's server capacity changes, all 500 million could be served in Prineville.
Another 150,000-square-foot portion of the Prineville center will open next door in the last quarter of this year, next to the existing center on the 127-acre site that sits on a bluff above town. "We have the ability to expand on this site," Heiliger said, though "we have no plans to do so at this time."
Another Facebook data center is scheduled to open next year in North Carolina. It's possible future data centers could be built in Europe or elsewhere outside the United States if the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company has the need, Heiliger said.
"That's something we're looking at," he said, "and we're really looking at it as, 'What is the best way to service our users?'"
Heiliger and Furlong would not comment on the cost of the Prineville Data Center, saying the information was proprietary. The privately held company's filings with Crook County initially valued the project at $200 million, which has doubled in scale since then.
Heiliger noted that Facebook had chosen to not purchase cleaner electricity credits from PacifiCorp's Blue Sky program. The symbolic move had been considered in the face of criticism from Greenpeace and other environmentalists for purchasing power from a PacifiCorp, which gets much of its energy from coal
"We're very focused on investing our dollars in improving efficiency," he said, saying that the company's money would be better spent in that manner and sharing advances with competitors and others.
Last week, Facebook launched the "Open Compute Project" to share its design so others can learn from the company's efforts, and so that they can critique the new design and offer improvements.
"If even a fraction of them adopt our technologies, that would be far more effective," than purchasing alternative energy credits, he said.
On the other hand, an array of solar panels sits along one side of the building, an addition decided on only in December, Furlong said. The power generated by the panels is expected to supply sufficient electricity for the data center's offices.

I was struck by Eric's desire to see real change happen in his/our lifetime. If there's a lesson to learn about our K-12 work, I think the lesson is that the work is long-term. There's no magic bullet. The education field is littered with school reform interventions, large and small, smart and dumb, often disconnected from where the real work takes place, with teachers and students, as Jane pointed out earlier. If you want to read more about that, I would suggest picking up Left Back, A Century of Battles over School Reform, by my friend, Diane Ravitch.

There's also something hopeful about the word 'Evergreen.' Seeing evergreens in the dead of winter always gives some proof of life.
If the job never ends, then you don't worry about the finish line. There is no finish line, only what's happening now.
Evergreen...what a nice euphemistical way of saying "oh, no! not again! we're back to ground zero!" whenever superintendents, arts specialists, classroom teachers, and other champions of the arts as education leave their posts.
It is probably true that at each iteration of the arts education history cycle, we inch forward a bit, but alas, we also slide back. We do not chronicle or pay sufficient attention to all the important lessons learned during, for example, the last almost 50 years...
What's probably important to remember is that these are indeed cycles, frightenly repetitive, but we somehow manage to survive and rise from the near dead.
By the way, I would challenge that NYC Annenberg schools provided arts education for every child in those schools fortunate enough to have the grant over 5 years time. I know that the many schools I worked with did not include all the kids, alas....now, had the grant continued over time, they might have.
Ah, the issue of time, again, and again.
Thanks for this perspective, Richard. It helps re-frame the circular discussion, or "lack of progress," from a point of frustration that many of us feel. "Evergreen" is a lovely, evocative word -- I hope it will remind us to beware of our (short-term) successes and not take them for granted, and to not be dismayed by other (short-term) setbacks.
Richard... you are correct in pointing out this work is ever green.
I have often been asked "when will we be finished" with the work of having to advocate for the arts in our schools. The answer is simple.
As I look back over nearly 70 years of advocacy efforts - starting before WWII - parents and teachers voiced concern that programs (music) would be cut... to the threat of Sputnik... to the program cuts threatened in Chicago in the early 70's which inspired Benny Goodman to lead a protest parade through the city... to prop 13 in california (which devastated the arts programs... the recession of the 80's the birth of the modern day music/arts advocacy movement with the release of our National Education goals by the NGA in 1989... the battle over the exclusion of the arts from these goals in America 2000... the addition of the arts as a core subject in 1993's proposed "Goals 2000"... through the growth of the 90's and now NCLB and the current market meltdown... We have always had to make the case for the arts. It is only recently (15 years) that we have started to have the data and research to support the arts role as an equal partner in education.
The reason, in my view, is simple. As soon as we educate one crop of school boards, superintendents, policy makers, parents, and concerned citizens... they move on and another group comes along. The education of the new group starts fresh.
Am I happy about the fact that we have to constantly make the case... no. However, it is the reality of the landscape in which we operate and we have to play by the rules of the game as it is being carried out so we can achieve what we all desire... the opportunity for every child to be educated in a meaningful way with the arts. That is why our work is, as you put so well, evergreen
And if I may quote from my good friend Mike Greene who was one of the instigators of the modern day advocacy movement for music and arts education... as he hammered then Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander on national television during the Grammy Awards for the omission of the arts for the national education goals and Lamar's refusal to add the arts... Mike said:
"The very idea that we can educate young people in a meaningful way without music and art is simply absurd."

Lib Dems face difficult election aftermath
- 23 April 2015
- From the section Election 2015
The hustings in Colchester has a comfortably old fashioned feel to it.
It's in a church hall and you can put 50p in a Tupperware box for a cup of tea and a biscuit, then sit on the sort of chairs they always have in church halls and judge how the candidates behind the trestle tables measure up.
The town, the oldest recorded in Britain, is a dot of Lib Dem yellow in a sea of Conservative blue.
The Lib Dems had a majority of just over 6,000 in 2010. The well-liked Lib Dem MP, Sir Bob Russell, has been here since 1997, and was a councillor for 20 years before that - a local fixture.
Before that it was always Conservative, and it is the sort of seat the Conservatives have to win to have a chance of forming a majority government.

The loch at Faslane is very calm on a beautiful spring-like day, seagulls wheel above the jetty and its short, white radar tower. Beneath the still waters, I presume, lurks some of Britain's ageing nuclear deterrent.

Could Ochocinco start off with a bang?
By Jack McCluskey
He's tried his hand at
Major League Soccer
and the
Professional Bull Riders circuit
. He's co-hosted a TV show. His
short-burst musings
are snapped up by nearly 2.4 million eager followers.
So what's next for
Chad Ochocinco
, modern-day Renaissance man, now that he's traded in his Bengals stripes for the Patriots' Flying Elvis?
Maybe it'll be something he's
talked about doing before
-- firing off a musket after scoring a touchdown at Gillette.
Chad Ochocinco had said before Cincinnati's visit to Foxboro last season that he planned to fire off a musket in the end zone after scoring a touchdown. Maybe now he'll get his chance.
That promise came before Cincinnati's visit to Foxboro in Week 1 last season, and as you might imagine, it
wasn't warmly received
by the men and women who make up the
End Zone Militia
Geoff Campbell is a professional reenactor who serves as captain of the militia. Asked if his position had changed since the news broke that Ochocinco will be joining the home team, Campbell said he'd be happy to teach the wideout about the time period -- including its firearms -- but that the unique touchdown celebration is probably best left to professionals.
"I DO think that the Patriots organization MIGHT have something to say about his using a musket during a game," Campbell wrote in an email. "There is a risk factor involved that I'm sure they wouldn't want him to expose himself to!
"Leave it to us for now if in the off-season he wants to learn, we'll be there!!"
As a fan of the team, Campbell was enthused by the trades. He called the
Albert Haynesworth
acquisition a "NO LOSE for the team" and said the move for the playful, 33-year-old wide receiver was a "TOTAL STEAL!" What's more, Campbell had an idea that might just work as a compromise if Ochocinco is still interested in taking part in the musket volleys after scores.
"Maybe he can just give the command to fire??" Campbell wrote. "That would work!"

Some may think that rum is the best product from the island of Barbados. However, after listening to the local music on the second night of the Barbados Jazz Festival, this reporter is convinced that music should be favored export from the lovely island.
On Tuesday, January 12, 2009, hungry and enthusiastic music fans gathered at Heritage Park/The Rum Factory in St. Philip to hear the local music offerings of vocalists Toni Norville and Shane Forrester. The caliber of the performances were world class with special appearances by additional well-respected Barbados talent at the close of the Norville set.
Additionally, the musical selection of the entire evening was phenomenal and well-rounded. The producer of the festival, Mr. Gilbert Rowe, did well in pairing these two headliners together. Forrester's style was more in the pop genre, while Norville covered neo-soul to Gospel. The result was a night of pure energy and joy.
The festival continues throughout the week. Scheduled appearances to include Smokey Robinson, Lalah Hathaway, Warren Hill, Baby Face, Tizer (featuring Karen Briggs, Chieli Minucci and Lao Tizer) and more.

Hollywood Wedding Venue
1201 North Vine Street
Hollywood, California 90038
Contact: Special Events Department

Request more information
Opened to great fanfare in 2008, the Taglyan Arts and Cultural Complex offers a dazzling combination of Old World opulence and cutting-edge audiovisual technology. Located mere blocks from the world-famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine, this venue may be new to the event scene, but with its stately limestone façade it looks like it's been part of the neighborhood for years.
As soon as you enter the massive iron gates on a quiet side street, you feel like you've been transported to a European villa. Italian cypress, magnolia and olive trees, along with vintage-look streetlamps, dot the property. Immediately on your right is the formal brick courtyard, anchored by the kind of huge two-tiered fountain you might find in an Italian piazza, complete with figural fish and turtles spouting water. A formal garden containing white roses encircles the fountain, creating a very romantic spot for wedding ceremonies. As an added enhancement, the historic French Normandy-style building across the street acts as a charming backdrop. Taglyan's upper patio, which could serve as an alternate ceremony site or for cocktails, overlooks the courtyard and has its own cherub fountain with two small gardens and marble pillars.
Inside the building itself, it's obvious that no expense has been spared in workmanship or materials. The dramatic Grand Foyer is a feast for the eyes, highlighted by an Italian marble floor inlaid with various patterns—the first one symbolizing eternity, which seems rather fitting for couples who've just exchanged vows. This palatial-sized space has natural light streaming in through tall windows draped in rich green velvet, as well as filtering in through stained-glass inserts in the high, coffered ceiling. Along one wall you can set up couches in front of faux fireplaces, creating a cozy area for small-group mingling. Another option for intimate conversation is the outdoor flagstone patio, which makes a perfect bar and lounge setting.
But the pièce de résistance is the Main Ballroom—truly a "grand" ballroom. Set off by green marble pillars and elaborate, cascading crystal chandeliers, its 5,000-square-foot, circular stained-glass ceiling is flat-out, jaw-droppingly beautiful. And as if its artistry alone wasn't mesmerizing enough, it can even be programmed to shift colors with an elaborate lighting system. In fact, the entire facility incorporates state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, including scrims and projectors with screens that descend around the room so you can screen personal movies, then take it up a notch by bathing the stage and dance floor in sound and light.
Taglyan Complex has devoted just as much attention to every detail behind the scenes as well, from its two top-of-the-line kitchens to the ample underground parking and luxurious bridal room (and large groom's room). Their exclusive in-house caterer, Divine Food & Catering, will customize your menu whether you desire a multicultural meal, Continental fare, or something in between. When you're here, all you have to do is relax, revel in your surroundings and get ready for a very memorable event.
CEREMONY CAPACITY: The Complex holds 300 seated guests indoors and 200 seated outdoors.
EVENT/RECEPTIONCAPACITY: Thesiteaccommodates600seatedor1,000 standing guests indoors and 150 seated or 400 standing outdoors.
MEETING CAPACITY: Meeting rooms hold up to 25 seated guests.
A $5,000 minimum deposit is required to reserve your date. The balance is due 7 days prior to the event. Packages that include venue rental, furniture, linens, and in-house catering start at $115/person. Tax, alcohol and an 18% service charge are additional. A $25,000 minimum is required for a Friday or Sunday event, and a $40,000 minimum for a Saturday event.

Vision for the Canadian Arctic Research Initiative
In its October 2007 Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada committed itself to the construction of a world-class Arctic research station, as part of a larger northern strategy. Accordingly, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) hosted a Visioning Workshop to help define those priorities. Following this workshop, INAC asked the Council of Canadian Academies to provide an external perspective on the workshop's findings.
The International Expert Panel on Science Priorities for the Canadian Arctic Research Initiative (CARI) concluded that the four science priorities recommended in the Visioning Workshop Report were sensible and appropriate directions for Canada. They did recommend, however, that an additional two priorities, "Observation and Monitoring" and "Technology," be considered. Among their conclusions, the Panel determined that it is vital to recognize Canada's international obligation to arctic science and that we must "seek synergy" by breaking down the silos of methodologies, disciplines, and stakeholder interests. The Panel also advised that the government "start now" to sustain momentum.
Following the Expert Panel's report, the Government of Canada, in Budget 2009, allotted $87 million to the development of arctic initiatives and research.
Assessment question
The Panel [convened by the Council] will assess the extent to which proposed priorities articulate Canada's global advantage in terms of Arctic science. Specifically, the Panel will be asked to consider the following questions:
- Do the science priorities express Canada's distinct advantages in terms of Arctic science?
- Do the priorities address gaps and represent elements of Canada's future Arctic science priorities, including key policy and regulatory needs?
- Do the science priorities take into account key international initiatives?
- How can the new Arctic Research Station contribute to achieving these priorities?

Creative cakes aren't coming from corporate chains but from women who are balancing their passion to bake and a day job
If Nigella Lawson is to be believed, baking is an act of feminism. She says that being a domestic goddess is not about being, it's about feeling like one. "Girly" accomplishments are no less achievements, just because they have always been associated with women. In the popular medico-dramedy Grey's Anatomy, Izzie, portrayed by Katherine Heigl, copes with the death of her loved one through baking. In Julie/Julia, the motion picture, Julie decides to cook every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking to motivate herself. Apart from being therapeutic, baking is also a nice way to make a little extra on the side. Hyderabad has an influx of women and girls who can't wait to toss their work hats at the end of the day and put on their oven mitts. Most agree that it starts with experimenting on friends and family. The word spreads, and before you know it your next door neighbour has placed the first order. Violet Jessy, a soft skills trainer, works a long shift during the day and comes back home to bake.
"Baking is just an interest," she says. "Being a Christian, cakes and brownies were always a part of life. I am however more interested in chocolate. Following my dad's footsteps, I got into baking. She finds it difficult sometimes to put in this second shift, but this is what she loves doing. Anoopa Lima, 30-year-old professor of psychology at St. Francis College, says that she started baking when she was very little. "I baked a cake in third grade and friends didn't believe me," she laughs. She has been baking for almost 12 to 13 years and she has gone commercial for the past one and a half years.
Anoopa is glad that her part-time work gives her scope to bake. But her mantra is not to bring college work home. "Being a lecturer, I have to prepare for classes, correct papers but I try and keep baking and work separate," she says. Anoopa admits to working for almost 19 hours a day when orders pour in. Regrets? None, it's all too gratifying, she says. Nigella in the introduction to How To Be A Domestic Goddess says: "This is what baking, what all of this book, is about: feeling good, wafting along in the warm, sweet-smelling air, unwinding, no longer being entirely an office creature; and that's exactly what I mean when I talk about 'comfort cooking'." Sindhuri, who works in human resources, bakes cakes, brownies and desserts. After coming back from the UK, she decided to work with a hospital and bake on the side. One and a half years into this small business, Sindhuri can't be happier. These kitchen queens agree that the best publicity is word-of-mouth. Even though all of them have facebook pages, most orders they end up doing are for friends, friends-of-friends or someone who heard about them.
Maria George Tharakan and Hima Kanumuru have plunged into full-time baking. Maria is pretty well known in Hyderabad for her creamy treats. Under her banner of Olive Arts, she bakes cakes and cupcakes. A business analyst at an MNC, she used to work the regular 9 to 5 shift and then hurry back home to bake. For Hima Kanumuru, what started as a hobby has become a profession. She runs Frolic Cakes and whips up creamy layers. "I decided to get into it full time, people around me couldn't believe it," she says.

That was super exciting for my son and I was thrilled to see the big smile on his face. I noticed (...) Read more

Plant species diversity, plant biomass and responses of the soil community on abandoned land across Europe: idiosyncracy or above-belowground time lags
Publiceringsår: 2003

Dokumenttyp: Artikel
Förlag: Blackwell Publishing
We examined the relationship between plant species diversity, productivity and the development of the soil community during early secondary succession on former arable land across Europe. We tested the hypothesis that increasing the initial plant species diversity enhances the biomass production and consequently stimulates soil microbial biomass and abundance of soil invertebrates. We performed five identical field experiments on abandoned arable land in five European countries (CZ, NL, SE, SP and UK) which allowed us to test our hypothesis in a range of climate, soil and other environmental factors that varied between the experimental sites. The initial plant diversity was altered by sowing seed mixtures of mid-successional grassland species with two or five grass species, one or five legumes and one or five forbs. The results of low and high sown diversity treatments were compared with plots that were naturally colonized by species present in the seed bank. In three out of the five field sites, there was no correlation between plant species number and plant biomass production, one site had a positive and the other a negative relation. Treatments with a high diversity seed mixture had a higher biomass than the naturally colonized plots. However, there was no significant difference between high and low sown diversity plots at four out of five sites. The three-year study did not give any evidence of a general bottom-up effect from increased plant biomass on biomass of bacteria, saprophytic fungi or abundance of microarthropods. The biomass of arbuscular mycorrhizal was negatively related to plant biomass. The abundance of nematodes increased after abandonment and was related to plant biomass at four sites. Our results support the hypothesis that plant species diversity may have idiosyncratic effects on soil communities, even though studies on a longer term could reveal time lags in the response to changes in composition and biomass production of plant communities.

Page Title Module
If you add a field annotated with @Id (or @EmbeddedId) in the .java file (along with the required getter/setter), it will be removed from the Roo-Entity.aj ITD. However, if you add a field (no annotation) with the same name as the @Id field, the @Id field in the ITD will have its name changed with a prefixed underscore. If you are seeing 2 @Id fields, please log a Jira request and attach a backup zip file of your project (use the Roo backup command).

Released: Feb 01st, 2007
Running Time: 106
Director: Richard Moulton
Company: Fifth Element
Misty Mendez, Lexi Fox, Rita (I), Nikki Hunter, Eden (I), Others, Roxetta, Rachel (I), Kitty Lee
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
This collection primarily consists of older women with over-bleached hair and heavy make-up providing sloppy blowjobs and well lubed tit fucking. Their attempts at sensual seduction come off as ludicrous and they are "mature" only by virtue of their age (which they - or the costume crew - seem to be trying to both hide and capitalize upon).
The only moment that comes close to redeeming the rest is Rita giving a blowjob through the bars of a prison cell. It's hard to believe that clip belongs here at all: a third party holds the camera and there's an attempt at scene-setting, neither of which is true for the other pieces. Misty Mendez is also rather charming as she drools cum into a high-heeled shoe.

Infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is extremely common in early childhood, with nearly all children experiencing at least one such infection before 2 years old. For many years it has been recognized that children with RSV bronchiolitis experience higher than expected rates of wheezing illnesses and asthma later in childhood. However, being able to predict which children with bronchiolitis will be later diagnosed with asthma is not yet possible.
In a recent report in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Bacharier et al examined the factors which may help identify which children with RSV bronchiolitis develop asthma in early childhood. They enrolled 206 previously babies who were hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis during the first year of life and followed them prospectively through the seventh birthday. The researchers analyzed clinical and laboratory data obtained during the first three years of life in an effort to predict which children would be diagnosed with asthma.
Nearly half of the children (48%) had asthma diagnosed by a physician by 7 years old. The following factors identified children at increased risk of a physician diagnosis of asthma: having a mother with asthma, being exposed to high levels of dog allergen in the home during the first year of life, having a positive skin test to an inhalant allergen at 3 years old, having multiple wheezing episodes during the first three years of life, and/or having higher levels of a marker of inflammation (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 or CCL5) in epithelial cells obtained from the nose during the episode of bronchiolitis. In contrast, Caucasian children were less likely to have an asthma diagnosis than non-Caucasian children, and those who attended daycare also were less likely to be diagnosed with asthma.
These findings confirmed the high rate of asthma following severe RSV bronchiolitis requiring hospital care and identified several factors which helped identify children at greatest risk for subsequent asthma. In addition, the authors found that the level of CCL5 in nasal cells during bronchiolitis was strongly predictive of asthma, even more so than having a positive family history of asthma.
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) is the official scientific journal of the AAAAI, and is the most-cited journal in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.
