From the Publisher"The book is well written and set out in an accessible way that allows you to dip into it for ideas. I would recommend it to all parents and professionals in the educational field it provides useful concepts to stimulate youngsters with specific handicaps and learning difficulties and also provides good ideas for the busy parent to use in different situations."New Generation.
is a most imaginative and stimulating volume which ... is packed to over flowing with delightful play ideas ... Primarily for parents and those working with handicapped children, it would prove valuable for anyone with an interest in helping children to enjoy learning through play."Physiotherapy.
Lear approaches every child, however handicapped, as a unique individual with special needs, likes and dislikes. Her refreshing simplicity permeates the book which is brimming with humour and practical advice."Mother.
those therapists, carers and others who work with children with special needs, Roma Lear s Play Helps series will be a familiar sight on the bookshelf. This volume deals specifically with aspects of play for children who have varying degrees of visual impairment. It is likely to be used as a resource to dip into for ideas on toys to make and activities and games to play with the finished items.
However, the book takes you from the first chapter which sets out the preparatory materials of paper, thread, tapes and so on, and gives useful contact addresses for craft and educational toy supplies. It then proceeds through the senses of hearing, touch, small and vision and expands on each of these with relevant suggestions for toys and games to develop the children s sensory awareness in line with their visual abilities.
Each chapter is well written in easy to understand language no medical or technical jargon anywhere. There are lots of delightful sketches to accompany the step by step instructions, which also tell you whether the toy is quick to make, long lasting, etc, and in which situations it is useful. All of the games and toys are said to be in the low technology bracket easy to make and using materials available through everyday recycling, eg cardboard tubes and boxes or from High Street stores or mail order.
The author uses a story tale to illustrate how some of the toys have been created and subsequently enjoyed thus making each chapter an adventure in itself.
References are made to children and their carers but as the author quotes in the introduction: The process of play is far more important than the toys. This book is about having fun with only a whiff of therapy.
It is published in paperback with a bright colourful cover...
This book would be a useful reference for paediatric therapists (physiotherapy and occupational therapy), teachers, nursery nurses and families and carers of young children with visual impairment." Susan K Walmsley MCSP, Physiotherapy Frontline, February 1999

So this couple in London didn't trust their construction workers, so they secretly videotaped while they were out at work. What they discovered is something they never expected.
It starts off innocent enough with the guy using their dumbbell to build some muscle, but then he decides to focus on a different muscle. You see, then the guy is seen taking out his hammer and starts hammering away. In other words, he started to masturbate.
The couple was so horrified about what they found on the hidden video that they could not return to their house for over a week according to Sutton Guardian.
The worker, who was caught red handed, was let go by the company and police are curently investigating the matter.
So the morale of this story, is make sure to construct a hidden camera if you are getting some work done on your place. And workers don't screw with the screwdriver during work hours.
Sesame Workshop's mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street.
Once this all settles down, I am sure Clash can find work at Avenue Q or one of those other adult shows with puppets. Although I am sure he has made some good money being one of the most recognizable voices in the world.

Here's a list of foods that can be considered calorie free
Did you know there are foods that do not contribute any calories to your diet? Is there something one can eat or drink without feeling guilty about failing the diet chart while losing weight? This is a common query that someone venturing to lose weight asks the dietician. Well, although water and soda may be the only ones with zero calories, there is a decent list of food items that maybe considered calorie free. Using them to good effect in a diet will add palatability, variety and compliance. Some of them like herbs and greens give you a bushel of antioxidants at no extra caloric cost. Nutritionally, a food has to be less than 20 kcal and less than 5 grams carbohydrate per serving to be labelled a 'free food'. (That is how the American Dietetic Association defines a free food).The logic is that one never eats or drinks several servings of these anyway and even if one did, they add nil or negligible numbers to the caloric constraints of diet.
Some more foods deserve being mentioned here because they are very low calorie. They are Kimchi and sauerkraut (in less than 100gm quantity), Wheat bran (one tablespoon) and Kerala's very own summer drink the sambaram when made thinly.
All vegetables (except starchy ones like potato) are very low calorie foods giving just 25 kcal per half cup cooked portions. They add bulk and nutrition to the diet and should be fully exploited during meals in order to keep hunger at bay. Here's a list of 'free foods'.
Some 'Free foods':
- Water – bottled, fresh, aerated
- Vegetable clear soups, consommé, broth (like Maggi bouillon)
- Coconut water, sugar free sports drinks
- Diet sodas (unhealthy in excess amounts)
- Vinegar
- Black coffee and tea, herbal teas, green teas (no sugar or milk)
- Flavouring extracts, sugar free jelly, cocoa powder
- Spices, condiments, herbs fresh or dried, garlic, ginger, green chillies, curry leaves
- Sauces - Soy, Worcestershire, Tabasco
- Juices – lemon, cucumber, lauki(variety of ash gourd), bitter gourd, fresh cranberry (no sugar added)
- Salad greens – celery, lettuce, watercress, etc
- Vegetables pickled in vinegar
(The writer is a nutritionist)
Keywords: calorie-free foods, zero calories

Where Indian musical comedy meets Hebrew spirituality

When Shye Ben-Tzur went to India 15 years ago, he found a master of Indian classical music, settled into his house and started very intensive daily instruction. "It was like a yeshiva for music," says Ben-Tzur. The day went like this: He'd wake up at 4 A.M. and hum a single low tone for the next two hours. As the sun started to rise, he'd slowly and gradually sing a higher tone until he had the whole...

The Gospel and Depression
O LORD, why do you cast my soul away?
Why do you hide your face from me?
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.
Your wrath has swept over me;
your dreadful assaults destroy me.
They surround me like a flood all day long;
they close in on me together.
You have caused my beloved and my friend to shun me;
my companions have become darkness.
(Psalm 88:14-18, ESV)
If you look up the word in an English Bible concordance, you might be tempted to conclude that the Bible says nothing about "depression." The word never occurs.
That conclusion would be a terrible mistake. Partly because it fails to realize that the absence of a particular word is not the same thing as the absence of an idea (there are lots of ways to describe what we call depression; see Psalm 88 above). And partly because drawing such a conclusion effectively cuts off those who suffer depression from what they need most—the transforming presence of God.
Depression is not a popular subject in the church. We tend to avoid what we don't understand, and depression is notoriously complex. Worse than avoidance, depression often caries a subtle stigma. Christians are supposed to be happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, we think. If we face depression or any variety of mental illnesses, then something must be wrong with us. We're not believing God enough, or praying enough, or reading our Bible enough, etc. We don't dare speak honestly and openly about it, for fear of what others will think.
But the sad and potentially dangerous reality is that we're avoiding an issue that by some estimates affects 25% of our congregation in a given year.[1]
As Kathryn Green-McCreight, a theologian and minister who suffers from bipolar disorder, describes, "Depression is not just sadness or sorrow. Depression is not just negative thinking. Depression is not just being 'down.' It is being cast to the very end of your tether and, quite frankly, being dropped."[2]
Depression is real. Whether clinical or situational, it's part of life in a fallen world. But if that's true, then the gospel of Jesus has something to say about it. For God has promised to make right everything that's wrong with this world through the cross and resurrection of his Son (cf. Col. 1:15-20).
The Bible speaks openly and honestly about the countless ways that life can fall apart. Not only the ways we mess it up through our own sin and rebellion (which can have depressive results), but the ways we feel the often impersonal effects of the fall through injury, natural disaster, disease, and yes—depression. Consider the refrain in Psalm 42–43: "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?" (Ps. 42:5, 11; 43:5).
But the Bible also speaks hope into the darkest of circumstances, as the refrain continues: "Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God" (Ps. 42:5-6, 11; 43:5).
This hope is secured through the cross and resurrection of Christ. It's the promise that God will make all things new, that a day will come when "he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away" (Rev. 21:3). It's also the promise that God is with us today by the Holy Spirit, shining his light into the darkness and speaking the truth of the gospel to the lies that threaten to destroy us, as he leads us deeper into his presence (Ps. 43:3-4).
Because depression is complex, we should freely recognize that finding healing can be complex, too. The hope of the gospel is not mutually exclusive with counseling, therapy, or medication (especially when depression results from physiological factors). But the gospel does put all our care into context. For even as it frees us to call depression what it is, it announces its defeat. For the gospel connects us with God through Christ. And God is bigger than depression. As Jared Wilson reminds us, "You will outlast your depression, because Christ in you, the hope of glory, will outlast it."[3]
If we love our friends and family members, if we love our fellow congregants, we cannot afford to avoid or ignore this issue. When asked how churches can best reach out to those in the congregation who might be struggling with depression or anxiety, Rebekah Lyons answered,
"Churches can talk about it, and talk about it often. I'm a firm believer that secrets lose power when they exit the dark. Confession is a healing balm toward connectivity and we're loved to the measure we are known. The more we name our struggles, the more others have permission to do the same. I can't think of a more perfect medium to provide this healing community than the church."[4]
As a pastor, I don't have all the answers about depression. Not even close. I do know that the gospel frees us to be honest about it, and gives us hope. And so I want to help us start the conversation, and frame it with the gospel of Jesus.
So join us this Sunday at Westgate Church as we consider Psalms 42-43, "The Gospel and Depression."

When Persecution Gets Personal
Over the past few months our small New England church has watched international crises touch uncomfortably close to home. First was news that our own missionary, Dr. Rick Sacra, had contracted the deadly Ebola virus disease while serving in Liberia. It's a strange thing to see your friend and missions partner plastered all over every major new station in the western world. Of course we were already praying and concerned, but the Ebola crisis was no longer theoretical or ephemeral; it became personal. We gathered to pray and hung on the news stations as our friend fought for his life.
And the Lord was merciful. Not only has Dr. Sacra recovered, but he arrived back in Liberia last Thursday in order to provide care at ELWA hospital in Monrovia, and help lift the burden in a country whose entire medical system has been brought to its knees. (Click here to listen to Rick and Debbie Sacra tell their story at Westgate Church last November.)
Then news came just days ago about the attacks on Christians in Niger. Niger—where not one, but two of our missionary families have been serving long term. Over the past weekend the BBC reports that 45 churches were burned, resulting in 10 deaths and 170 injuries—many of these in the capital, Niamey, where our friends live.
They shared the following pictures on their Facebook page:
We praise God that things appear to be calming down. But we're scared and hurting for our friends. One of them reflected yesterday:
A day full of grief. Very somber atmosphere in the office with many tears and much prayer. Quiet around town as well with many neighbors wishing to communicate their own sadness for the weekend's events. Continue to pray for wisdom for local and mission authorities as rumors fly. Continue to uphold those staggered to have lost so much that they would know the comfort and provision of Jesus. We're praying that something beautiful will come from the flames.
It's hard to know how to process these things from our relatively comfortable and safe position in the West. My initial emotions are anger and fear. Anger that people would terrorize and kill Christians in Niger in protest to some foolish secularists in France. And fear of what might happen to our friends as a result.
But when I think of these events through the lens of the gospel—the good news that Jesus left the glory (and safety) of heaven to lay his life down for treasonous rebels like us—those emotions are slowly replaced with humility and gratitude. Humility in remembering that but for the grace of God, there is no difference between me and the blind zeal of rioters and terrorists. And gratitude over the privilege of being partnered with such courageous missionaries, men and women who are willing to follow the model of their Savior and leave the comfort and safety of home to give their lives away for the gospel.
I'm also reminded of Hebrews 10:32-39, which speaks honestly about the sorrow and suffering that sometimes comes with our witness, but then calls us to a defiant joy and a persistent hope. Read these lines and reflect on them:
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, "Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. (Heb. 10:32-39, ESV).
Please join me in praying for these dear men and women—for the safety, and for their hearts to be filled with joy and hope in our Great High Priest and Victorious King, Jesus Christ, to whom belongs all power and all glory.
And pray that God would indeed bring something beautiful from the flames.
Whose Story Anyway?
Imagine buying tickets to go see Unbroken, the great survival story of World War II veteran Louie Zamperini. Except when the film begins, you quickly realize that it's been replaced with somebody's home videos.
The uproar that would ensue is not hard to imagine. Nobody wants to watch that for two hours, let alone pay money to see it. There's only one person interested in those videos—the person who stars in them.
But so often the way we apply the gospel to our lives is exactly like this. Read more…
The Gospel for All of Life
2015 marks Westgate's fortieth year as a congregation. It's an exciting milestone as we reflect back on all that God has done since a handful of college students from Park Street Church joined up with a small Bible study meeting in Weston. But it's also a good occasion for us to look forward as a church, particularly as we seek God to make our vision a reality.
God has called us to be a gospel-centered community living each day on mission for Christ. But what does it really mean for the gospel to be at the center of everything? What difference should that make in our hearts, in how we do church, in our relationships at home, our aspirations at school, our attitude at work, our posture in the public square, or our global perspective?
The gospel is the good news of what God has done to establish his kingdom and deal with our sin through the life, death, and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ, in the power of the Spirit. But too often we view the gospel as something small and introductory—an entry point, the elementary things of faith.
The gospel is so much bigger than that. Because the grace of God in Jesus is bigger than that. It literally changes everything. As the apostle Paul points out in his letter to Titus, the same grace that saves us also teaches us to say no to sin and yes to godliness (Tit. 2:11-14; cf. 3:3-8). Or as pastor and author Tim Keller reminds us, "The gospel is not just the ABCs but the A to Z of the Christian life. It is inaccurate to think the gospel is what saves non-Christians, and then Christians mature by trying hard to live according to biblical principles. It is more accurate to say that we are saved by believing the gospel, and then we are transformed in every part of our minds, hearts, and lives by believing the gospel more deeply as life goes on" (Center Church, 48).
We are committed to the centrality of the gospel in everything. We want everything about our lives, relationships, and ministries to flow out of and point back to the good news of Jesus. For this reason, we are devoting our worship services in 2015 to exploring and applying the practical realities of the gospel for everyday life.
So if you're in the MetroWest area of Boston, join us this year as we consider the gospel in me (Jan-Feb), the gospel in the church (Mar-Apr), the gospel at home (May-Jun), the gospel at school (Jun-Jul), the gospel at work (Aug-Sept), the gospel in the public square (Sept-Nov), and the gospel to the ends of the earth (Nov-Dec). In other words, join us as we explore and apply the gospel for all of life.
The King who Is Enthroned on a Cross
This morning I turned to the final folio in Matthew's Gospel—the last two pages. That's all that's left to preach in this series.
It has been a wonderful journey—for me personally, hopefully for our congregation as well. Without a doubt, the predominant theme of Matthew's Gospel has been the kingship and authority of Jesus Christ. The book opens by announcing his birth as the long-awaited king. "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?" (2:2). Jesus launched his ministry by declaring that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. He demonstrated his royal authority through his teaching, his healing, and casting out evil spirits. He revealed the hidden nature of the kingdom through his parables. He entered into Jerusalem his final week lauded as a king. Finally, the book closes with Jesus' own words, "All authority in heaven and on earth have been given to me" (28:18). There is no mistaking the point: Jesus is the King of heaven and earth.
Yet as the book draws to a close, two themes collide that seem otherwise foreign to each other: kingship and cross. We don't normally see those together. Yet as Matthew's Gospel concludes, he makes clear that if you don't understand kingship in light of the cross, then you've missed the point of his book. Read more…
How Should We Think About the Ebola Crisis?
Fear. This is the word that seems to best describe the American perspective right now. From mandatory 21-day quarantines for healthcare workers returning from West Africa to New York or New Jersey, to the U.S. Army's announcement today of the same policy–fear seems to be taking the day.
And understandably so. With a death rate between 50-90%, it's understandable to be scared of an epidemic getting out of hand. It's a good thing to plan and prepare for containment.
But are mandatory quarantines really the best solution?The CDC and healthcare professionals with direct experience dealing with (and surviving from) Ebola seem to think not.
How should we think about the Ebola crisis? And how should we think about it from a Christian perspective? These are some of the questions Dr. Rick Sacra, missionary doctor and Ebola survivor, will address during his talk this Sunday night at Westgate Church in Weston, Mass. It's a free event, from 6:30-8:00 p.m., November 2. Find more information here.
An Evening with Dr. Rick Sacra
When Dr. Rick Sacra heard the news of his friends and colleagues, Kent Brantley and Nancy Writebol, being diagnosed with Ebola while serving in Liberia, he knew immediately that he had to return to Liberia to help fill the gap. He arrived on August 4th to the country that had been home to him and his family for the better part of two decades, where he began providing care for obstetric patients that previously had nowhere to go due to the strain of the Ebola crisis.
Despite extra precautions, Rick developed symptoms on August 29, and three days later was diagnosed with Ebola. He was flown to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for treatment, where by God's grace and the fine care of the physicians there, he recovered from a disease that claims the life of somewhere between 50% and 90% of patients. Rick is now home with his wife Debbie and their three boys, continuing to regain strength.
Rick and Debbie have been missionaries of Westgate Church for many years. I met them a year ago at our annual missions conference. We gathered as a church in early September to pray for Rick's health when news of his diagnosis broke. Now on Sunday night, November 2, from 6:30-8:00 pm, we have the joyful privilege of having Rick and Debbie come share with us Rick's recent experience working in Liberia, and the story of his own battle with and recovery from the deadly disease.
Please join us if you're in the Boston area. The event is open to the public and free of charge. We will take a voluntary collection to help SIM and ELWA hospital in their ongoing fight against this devastating epidemic.
Westgate Church is located at 100 Winter Street in Weston, MA. For more information, contact the church office.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon has updated its three-year-old EOS 5D digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera with a new model, the EOS 5D Mark II, that features the ability to record HD video. And it's not just any high-def video but 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels video.
That beats out Nikon's D90, which only manages 1,280 pixel by 720 pixel. Behind the lens sits a full-frame 21.1Mp sensor. A full-frame sensor is the same size as a 35mm film frame and is about double the size of the sensors used in most other digital cameras with interchangeable lenses.
The EOS 5D Mark II will hit stores in late November in Japan and the US, where it will cost $2,699. The camera packaged with a 24-105 millimeter lens will cost $3,499. European launch plans have not been announced.

Whisper to Their Souls (based on Greensleeves)
Whisper to Their Souls (based on Greensleeves) composed by Samuel R. Hazo. For Concert Band (Score & Parts). MusicWorks Grade 4. Grade 4. Score and parts. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4002667).
Here is a unique and creative setting of the familiar tune Greensleeves (What Child Is This?) that opens with the melody scored softly for the woodwinds. The full ensemble contributes a series of harmonically rich phrases until the work reaches an emotional climax at the powerfully scored key change. While this is certainly effective as a holiday offering, it can be performed as a memorable tone poem any time of the year. Dur: 4:10.

HOLMDEL, N.J., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparta Systems, Inc., the maker of TrackWise software and the market leader in enterprise quality and compliance solutions, today announced that SSL International plc, a rapidly expanding consumer product company and the parent company for globally recognized brands such as Durex and Scholl, has gone live with TrackWise Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS). The company is now leveraging the TrackWise system to harmonize and streamline quality operations that include Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) management, audits and document management.
In any global manufacturing operation, unavoidable incidents arise in the manufacturing process that require swift resolution and assurance that they will be prevented from future occurrence. For this reason SSL International, which operates in 35 countries across the globe, required an EQMS solution that would enable efficient, closed-loop CAPA management while also providing a complete solution for document management for stricter oversight and streamlined processes in compliance with industry regulations.
SSL turned to Sparta Systems to provide a flexible solution for CAPA management, as well as an end-to-end quality and document management system. The company chose TrackWise EQMS due to its consistent interface, configurability and broad interoperability. This enabled the solution to integrate quickly with legacy systems. Now fully deployed, SSL possesses a centralized platform for streamlining these vital global quality operations, with plans to further expand the solution to include management of audits.
"We are pleased to have chosen the TrackWise software for our worldwide quality management solution," said Nick White, technical assurance director for SSL International. "The TrackWise solution satisfied our initial needs on compliant quality systems and we are just beginning to realize and explore its potent

NEW YORK ( TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) -- Coffee prices have fallen more than 50% since 2010, and you can observe this trend by looking at iPath Dow Jones-UBS Coffee Subindex Total Return ETN (JO).
This exchange-traded note seeks to replicate the returns available through an unleveraged investment in coffee futures contracts as well as the rate of interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in specified Treasury bills.
Charts of Coffee ETN
The first, weekly chart shows my price targets for 2013, while the second, hourly chart shows strong volume, meaning big money is slowly building a long position in coffee. The small white chart is the seasonal chart of coffee futures, which shows that prices historically rise from January through March, followed by a correction and then another rally into May.
Coffee prices are still in a down trend, but it looks as though the end is near. If you play coffee right, you could see up to a 100% return on your capital in 2013.

Tides, The Leela Kempinski, Kovalam, now specialises in Chinese and Thai cuisine
There is Chinese food and there is CHINESE food. A lover of CHINESE food, I often order dishes from that side of the menu. Unfortunately, most of them have an Indian touch to them. I have often wished to do what a man does in an advertisement; as thanks he kisses the chef for serving him authentic Chinese cuisine. Well, though I didn't go to such extremes, I did give the chefs at Tides, The Leela Kempinski, Kovalam, a handshake and heartfelt thanks. The food was as classic Chinese as it gets. Tides, the beach side restaurant that once specialised in Pan Asian cuisine has now changed focus. It now specialises in Chinese and Thai cuisine.
As starters
A waiter serves us a complimentary kimchi salad to whet our appetite. While most kimchi salads I have tried are sweet and sour with mostly thin slices of raw papaya in it, this one is spicy. It has Chinese cabbage, cucumber, spring onion, green chilli and garlic in it. We start off our meal with golden fried baby corn (Rs. 290) and crispy oat's prawn (Rs. 490). Dipped in a thin batter and fried just right (not dripping in oil), it is tossed with chilli, salt and pepper, which makes it delectable. Crispy oat's prawn has batter fried prawns coated in oats; this results in a rather crisp, slightly crunchy coating and the prawns retaining its juices.
The soup, pepper lemon coriander vegetable soup (Rs. 220) was refreshing with the aroma and flavour from the lemon coming through. Fried rice with chicken and salted fish (Rs. 390) was salty, savoury and addictive while Fukien fried rice (Rs. 490) was a meal in itself with vegetables and seafood in it.
This rice is almost porridge like with its use of a stock-based gravy and is definitely comfort food. Sweet and sour chicken with pineapples, tomatoes and onions is a must-try. While most eateries that serve this dish uses hot and sweet ketchup as gravy, the chefs at The Leela have a secret sauce. The pieces of beef in the tenderloin steak in Chinese barbeque sauce are succulent, the sauce lending it a touch of sweetness.
For dessert, Singapore bo bo cha cha taro (Rs, 290) is a must-try. A coconut milk-based dish, it has some chewy tapioca jelly, sweet potato and taro cubes and mango sorbet. Golden fried ice cream coated with breadcrumbs is equally good with vanilla ice cream oozing out of thick and almost buttery batter.
Those who would like to enjoy the catch of the day from the facing Arabian sea can do so. You can select your choice of seafood and create your own special meal. Choose the way you want it cooked: grilled, steamed, pan fried…, you can also pick the style of cooking: continental, oriental or Keralean. The dish is priced based by the weight of the seafood.
Keywords: Chinese cuisine, Thai cuisine, Kovalam Leela Kempinski

Le Carnaval Des Animaux

- Format:
Le Carnaval Des Animaux composed by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921). Arranged by Christoph Enzel. Saxophone Quartet. For Saxophone Quartet (SATB). Full Score and Set of Parts. Published by Advance Music (AV.7667).
Who does not know carnival of the animals with its music bursting with joy of living, grotesque humour, virtuosity and incomparable charm. although its composer imposed a performance ban upon his work merely a few years after he had written the piece in february 1886, it is probably one of the best-known compositions within today's classical concert repertory. in spring 2004, i decided to venture on the task of arranging this piece - which was originally scored for two pianos, a string quartet, double bass, flute, clarinet and xylophone - for my saxophone quartet clair-obscur. with some movements everything worked out well right from the start; for others, however, there existed four of five different versions, which we tested, dismissed, altered until we finally found a perfect solution in the form of the arrangement on hand offering each musician of the quartet the opportunity to exhibit his or her talents as a soloist and, at the same time, as a member of the ensemble. yet, this is not the only reason why this piece is one of the cornerstones of our present repertory: innumerable performances - whether for children or in the concert hall, whether presented with the german comedian loriot's well-known verses to accompany it or in its classical concertante version - have shown that this arrangement of carnival of the animals electrifies every audience.

Prom Makeup: Navy and Gold Smoky Eyes
More Slideshows
With a bold eye look like this, I might normally choose a nude or nearly nude lip. But since we're working against flashing cameras and sketchy indoor lighting, try a neutral with a little more oomph. This is a mauve-toned neutral from NYY called Whipped Caviar, and I paired with their liner in Sand Beige. Using a liner not only helps define your lips, but it also helps your lipstick last longer.

Ethiopian Food, Medicine & Healthcare Administration & Control Authority (FMHACA) has added 130 drugs to the National Drug List (NDL) over the past eight months. The list now comprises of a total of 1,185.
The number of drugs on the national list has been expanding since 2010, when a total of 15 drugs were added. In 2011, this amount raised dramatically, with 405 new aditions. The list was also expanded further, by 446 in 2012 and 49 in 2013, according to a data from the FMHACA.
Anti-tubercular, antibacterial, anti-infective, anti-ulcer and antilipemic agents to treat tuberculosis, bacterial infections, gastro-intestinal diseases and heart related diseases are among the new entrants to the list.
The Authority uses the parameters of medical practices and premises, including healthcare facilities, food establishments, medical facilities and health related port inspection sites. It has also used the yardsticks of health professionals that deal with the product from production up to consumption, medical equipment and devices, and food and food supplements.
The authority initially considers a drug for the national list when requested to do so by different bodies, such as importers, the Pharmaceutical Fund & Supply Agency (PFSA) and producers. Following the request, it conducts tests on a sample of the drugs, the output of which determines its fate. The Authority licenses the producer of the product, so that the drug can be usable in the country for a minimum of four years - the license period.
"But, this license could be rescinded if using products of that company result in any problems," according to Debalke Fantaw, Regulatory Information Development & Dissemination team coordinator.
The Authority used to control the price of drugs along with the quality of the products, which it has ceased to do at present, according to Debalke.
"We create access to importers of drugs and the price is up to them, as we are in a competitive market system," he said. "But it will give the consumers different options."
There are various reasons for the country to include different drugs on its list, according to experts in the field.
"Many drugs become resistant to diseases through time, making them redundant in the market," says Anteneh Tesfaye, a pharmacist at Debre Markos University. "Therefore, the country needs to have new options to replace them."
The improvement of a drug, in terms of technology, will also lead to its being included. In every generation of a medicine, the side effects and dosage are improved, according to the expert.
Anteneh also doubts the impact the drug list and the importation of the medicines will have on prices.
"Different people choose to use different brand medicines, which also differ in price," he told Fortune. "Therefore, if one wants to buy a Paracetamol from India, he pays two Br and from Germany he could pay 10 Br."
Among the list of countries producing the newly listed drugs are - India with 58 drugs, Germany with 15 drugs, Cyprus with nine and China with eight. Drugs from Malaysia, the UK, Jordan and Slovenia are also included in the list. There are 300 drug importers in Ethiopia registered to import those included in the national list.

This way of thinking is why alot of things are broken in this county liek paying 10 bucks for a pen vs 50 cents for the same one.
This is pork spending adding a price tag on something that shouldn't even be that high.
Im sorry but a fireGL costing 1000 bucks based on same hardware that costs 200, im sorry but peopel need to stop this crap right now or else i will step in and snap someones frickin neck.

Mississippi State falls 88-45 to No. 9 Lady Vols
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Mississippi State has struggled away from home all season, so the last thing the Bulldogs needed was a trip to No. 9 Tennessee.
The Bulldogs trailed the entire way Thursday night and fell 88-45 to Tennessee to remain winless away from Humphrey Coliseum. Mississippi State (9-12, 1-7 SEC) is 0-5 in true road games and 0-3 at neutral sites.
"We have a very young, very immature team, and we play a lot better at home than we do on the road," Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said. "That's been the case all year long. Our energy level seems to be a little bit less on the road than it does at home."
Mississippi State's last two games tell the story in that regard.
Kendra Grant and Katia May teamed up to shoot 14 of 25 and score 35 points Sunday at home as Mississippi State snapped a six-game losing streak with a 72-57 victory over Mississippi. Grant and May combined to shoot 6 of 32 and score 15 points against Tennessee, which has never lost to Mississippi State in 34 attempts.
Mississippi State needs Grant and sophomore center Martha Alwal at the top of their games to have a chance against quality SEC teams. Alwal did her part Thursday by scoring 16 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Grant, who entered the night averaging a team-high 12.6 points per game, had 10 points and shot 4 of 19.
"For Kendra, we really need her to be our scorer and be that go-to player for us, but everyone's going to have an off night," Alwal said. "When she has an off night, we're going to need someone else to step up. It can't be just me and Kendra all the time. Someone's going to have to step up for us, and as soon as we have more people step up, then (opponents) can worry about more people on the team other than just us two."
The Lady Vols (17-4, 8-0 SEC) showed the kind of balance that Mississippi State was missing.
Tennessee guard Kamiko Williams made her first career start in place of injured center Isabelle Harrison and contributed 10 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and six steals. Meighan Simmons scored 21 points, Taber Spani added 15 points and Bashaara Graves had 10 points.
Harrison is undergoing surgery Friday on her injured left knee. The Lady Vols don't know whether she will return this season.
"Now that Isabelle's out, it's going to have to happen," Williams said of her big night. "We all have to step up. This game, I tried to focus on defense and rebounding. Everything else just played out for us."
All nine of the healthy players on Tennessee's roster entered the game before halftime and ended up scoring at least four points.
"I don't think it's so much that we were outnumbered," Alwal said. "I think that we were outworked most of the time. We could've kept up with them, but we didn't have as much heart as they did. They went 110 percent the entire time, and we took plays off."

Manila, Philippines --- The Office of the Ombudsman has filed perjury charges against retired Lt. Gen. Jacinto Ligot for filing an erroneous statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) in December 1993.
Based on the complaint submitted to the Sandiganbayan, Graft Investigation and Prosecution Officer Dyna I. Camba, said the accused committed the offense when he intentionally omitted his residential lot in Susana IV, Muntinlupa City in his SALN in 1993.
The complaint was approved by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales.
According to the complaint, the accused, who is required by law to file his SALN, willfully, unlawfully and feloniously made a deliberate assertion of falsehood upon material matter in his SALN for the year ending December 31,1993 which was sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oaths and submitted to the office of Ethical Standards and Public Accountability (OESPA) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Perjury is penalized under Article 183 of the Revised Penal Code.
A bail bond of P6,000 was recommended for his liberty.
The Prosecution said they have six witnesses against Ligot, who recently won a decision in the Supreme Court which ordered the lifting of the freeze order on his P54-million assets.
In a 24-page decision, the high court's second division penned by Associate Justice Arturo Brion said Ligot's rights to due proces s were violated when the freeze order was extended indefinitely.
The freeze order stayed while it took the government six years to file a forfeiture case against Ligot and his family.

Jason Statham for Transformer 4 and 5?
The third and final film in the live action series directed by Michael Bay, "Dark of the Moon" is the sequel to 2009's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn and Tyrese Gibson all return to their roles as the Autobots race to find a Cybertronian spacecraft that's landed on the Moon before the the Decepticons get to it. The secrets hidden here could turn the tide in the Transformers' final battle. Meanwhile new cast additions include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey and John Malkovich.
Jason Statham is being considered for a lead role in two future 'Transformers' films.
Plans are already in motion to work on the fourth and fifth movies in the franchise, with toymaker Hasbro in "active discussions" with Paramount, Michael Bay - who has directed all three of the previous movies - and Steven Spielberg about working back-to-back on the next instalments.
With Shia LaBeouf, who played Sam Witwicky in the series, out of the running, Paramount is said to be considering British actor Jason Statham, although a formal offer has yet to be made, Variety reports.
Michael has not yet confirmed he will direct the project, but is said to be interested and currently serving in an executive producer capacity.
Production is set to begin in late 2012 or early 2013, which means he would be able to film his movie 'Pain and Gain' - about competitive body building - first.
The last film in the franchise 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' - which saw Jason's model girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replace Megan Fox as the lead female character - earned $1.1 billion at the international box office, making it the fourth highest grossing film of all time.

Scout Force reward?
So I have noticed this a few times now and was wondering
Have the first and second place rewards gone away in scout force? Starbase 24 mission?
I thought for first place it was a purple, second place blue, third a green.
Did that go away?
Nope...I got a blue Mk X engine for second place on SB24
So maybe just the scout force mission is bugged?

BEIRUT: Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi announced Sunday that judges will start preliminary questioning of Fatah al-Islam prisoners next week.
During an interview with a local radio station, Qortbawi said the head of the Higher Judicial Council, Judge Jean Fahed, informed him that files of the cases of each accused prisoner were distributed to relevant authorities.
Qortbawi slammed the negligence in improving the security of Lebanese prisons, noting that cell doors which were removed during a mutiny in 2010 were not replaced until now, which facilitated the prisoners ability to take control of block B in Roumieh.
Dozens of Islamists were detained following battles between the Lebanese Army and Fatah al-Islam militants in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in 2007. Many have yet to be charged or face trial.
Qortbawi expressed optimism about holding general elections on time, emphasizing his support for adopting the Orthodox draft electoral law. He also denied any intention to run in the upcoming parliamentary or presidential elections.

Backing up Data Folders on a QNAP Server
Created: 28 Sep 2013 | 1 comment
Can anyone recommend an article to use to Back up Data Folders on a QNAP Server to LT04 Tape
Operating Systems:
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
I have not see such an article.
Assuming you are backing up CIFS shares
1) purchase a RAWS licence and install it on the media server
2) turn of NDMP on the NAS
3) add the BESA as a local admin for the disk and give it full read and write authority for the entire disk
4) set up a backup job and select the CIF share using their UNC paths.
5) target your backup job to your tape drive.
That's it.

LONG POND —Andretti Autosport won just about everything there was to win Saturday at Pocono Raceway.
First, Marco Andretti took the pole for today's Pocono IndyCar 400 Fueled by Sunoco and watched as his teammates locked down the rest of the first row.
Then in the Indy Lights race Saturday afternoon, Andretti driver Carlos Munoz dominated, scoring an easy wire-to-wire victory.
"I'm sure he's really happy to be back on the podium," Munoz said.
Munoz, who earlier this year finished second at the Indianapolis 500, won by over 16 seconds over second-place finisher Sage Karam, a high school senior from Nazareth.
"I was just really fast all week," said Munoz. "I was just really consistent all race."
It was the third win of the season for Munoz, and one that Karam knew he was going to get all along.
"Carlos had a really great car all weekend," Karam said. "I just really couldn't keep up with him."
The victory enabled Munoz to overtake Karam in the Indy Lights point race. He now leads Karam by four points.
Even though Danica Patrick raced in Coca Cola 400 at Daytona Saturday night, there are still a couple of drivers for young women with dreams of climbing into a race car to look up to at Pocono today.
Simona De Silvestro will start on the inside of the fourth row in her Nuclear Energy Areva Chevrolet.
Unfortunately for De Silvestro, she's not a huge fan of racing on ovals.
"It is just really tricky all the way around," said the 24-year-old from Mont-Sur-Rolle, Switzerland, and teammate of Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan.
She currently sits in 18th place in the championships points race.
Also in the race is Pipa Mann, who will start 19th.
Helio Castroneves has something to say about fans that don't think Pocono's layout makes for exciting racing.
They don't know what they are talking about, according to the current IndyCar points leader.
"It's extremely difficult to drive this type of track," he said. "You have to be very particular and keep the same line for nearly 200 laps. And the car is very unforgiving.
"For those people that don't realize that, they just want to see a big mess out there."
Driver Ed Carpenter took time out from prepping for the Pocono 400 on Friday to check out the Boston Celtics new coach.
The Celtics hired Butler coach Brad Stevens. Carpenter, a Butler graduate and a close friend of Stevens, wasn't about to miss the coach's first press conference with his new team.
"He did a great job, he always does," the driver of the No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka Chevrolet said Saturday morning. "I'm eager to see who the next Butler coach is."
He didn't have to wait long. The school named Brandon Miller, a former point guard for the Bulldogs, coach later in the day.
Carpenter was happy for his friend.
"I feel great for Brad," he said. "It's a great opportunity for him."
A.J. Foyt may not be at Pocono this weekend, but that doesn't mean he didn't give his driver any insight on Pocono's tri-oval layout.
"We talked about it before I came here, knowing A.J. is the master of it," said Takuma Sato, who drives Foyt's No. 14 ABC Supply Honda. "Obviously it's a different time and the track has been resurfaced, but overall the characteristics are the same.
"He gave me little tips on how you set up the car targeting Turn 1 and Turn 3."
Foyt is recovering from hip surgery at his home in Houston. He was released from the hospital on Wednesday, and doctors say it will be six to eight weeks before he can travel. He has won four times at Pocono, including his last victory in an Indy car in 1981.
Sato is just glad that Foyt had a chance to share his wisdom.
"I'm happy to take any advice he gives me because he has great eyes to see really what's happening," Sato said. "Even though he drove in a different time, his comments are really accurate and I love it."

Teens: Reducing Salt Could Lead To Healthier Adulthood
Researchers reported on Sunday that if teens consumed less salt in their diets they could cut their risk for heart disease and stroke significantly in adulthood.
The scientists projected that a 3,000-milligram reduction in sodium by teenagers could reduce hypertension by 30 percent to 43 percent when they become adults.
Hypertension is a common condition that may have no symptoms for years, but can eventually lead to a heart attacks and strokes.
According to data presented at the scientific sessions at the American Heart Association meeting in Chicago this week, other benefits over time as teens hit 50 years of age include a 7 percent to 12 percent reduction in coronary heart disease, an 8 percent to 14 percent reduction in heart attacks, and a 5 percent to 8 percent reduction in stroke.
The American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams. Teenagers consume more sodium than any other age group.
According to data from the National Center for Health Statistics, pizza is one of the biggest problems for teens when it comes to sodium.
About 80 percent of salt comes from processed or prepared foods, while 35 percent of that in cereals, breads and pastries.
"The hidden places of salt in our diet are in breads and cereals, canned foods and condiments, and of course fast foods," said Bibbins-Domingo, also co-director of the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations. "Most of the salt that we eat is not from our salt shaker, but salt that is already added in food that we eat."
By reducing the amount of salt intake for teens, researchers predict a 44 percent to 63 percent decrease in the number of hypertensive teenagers and young adults.
"The additional benefit of lower salt consumption early is that we can hopefully change the expectations of how food should taste, ideally to something slightly less salty," said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, the lead author of the study and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco.
"Most of the salt we eat is not from our salt shaker, but salt that is already added in food that we eat," she added.

Former Juventus star David Trezeguet is in talks with Palermo about a Serie A return in January.
Trezeguet is currently playing in Argentina with River Plate.
"I will not hide the fact I had contact with Pietro Lo Monaco, but at the moment these are just informal discussions," agent Antonio Caliendo told Palermo24.net.
"Lo Monaco is a friend and someone I respect. We have spoken to Palermo and they are interested in a January move for David. There's not much concrete as yet, but I won't rule anything out. Lo Monaco is the right director to take on negotiations like this.
"Yes, David really has decided he wants to return to play in Europe. I know the River fans are working to keep him in Argentina, but due to personal reasons he wishes to be closer to France.
"In any case, I have not spoken to him specifically about Palermo or other destinations yet. For now the idea is just to be back in Europe and we still need to work out what to do and evaluate the offers."
