Mittens - Louis Trudel, Hubert Wilkins, 1938-1939 Reg. No: SH 930735
- Summary:
- Pair of fur mittens made by Louis Trudel Ltd. They were originally owned by Australian aviator Sir Hubert Wilkins, and subsequently by Australian Antarctic Division Director Dr Phillip Law, and were used by both men in the Antarctic. They are part of Museum Victoria's collection of artefacts from the inter-war and post-war eras of scientific exploration of Antarctica.
- Description:
- Pair of very large mittens, made predominantly from white, light brown and black polar bear fur. The glove is to be worn as an outside layer of clothing and as such has a wide, extensive cuff around the bottom to accommodate the wind proof sleeves of an outer garment. The palms of the gloves are faced with a soft, brown leather, and the inside of the gloves is lined with a black padded or quilted lining. Attached to this lining on the inside of one of the mittens is a rectangular cloth label with gold coloured writing and an emblem featuring what appears to be a polar bear on the side of a mountain, a crown and the letter "T". Sewn roughly to one corner at the bottom of the glove is a long piece of rope or cord. This cord is tied in a knot in the centre and joins the two mittens together.
- Statement Of Significance:
- These gloves connect two great Australian explorers, Sir Hubert Wilkins and Dr Phillip Law. They were originally owned by Wilkins who used them during the Ellsworth expedition which concluded in 1939. They were left in Australia by Sir H. Wilkins along with other material, which included, clothing, binoculars and cameras. The gloves were acquired by Law, who used them exclusively during the 1956 Antarctic expedition, but only in very severe conditions. The remainder of Wilkins' outfit is held by the Canterbury Museum. Louis Trudel was a significant fur dealer in Canada who supplied clothing for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police amongst others.

We have stayed at Thayer's several times in a variety of rooms. We usually make a last minute decision and have found that room or two available to choose from. On our first visit we stayed in a marvelous two-bedroom suite. The past couple of visits we were able to get small rooms in the back on the upper floor. The rooms vary in size but are always a great value for the money. The hotel is right on Main St. in the middle of Littleton. This is
a great location for wandering strolling around, and for enjoying their nice balcony.

The problem this is season so far is pitching, pitching and pitching. I believe we have the hitters, no question. When we keep blowing 9th inning leads or give a team 10 runs the first inning, you are not going to win many games.

Nevin pops out. 2 outs.
This team is so pathetically predictable.
Reds load the bases twice -- once with no outs; once with 1 out and get a total of ZERO runs against a rookie pitcher making his first Big League start.
Then Ryan Klesko, 7-14 in his career against Paul Wilson with 5 HRs hits a 3-run HR.
There is a reason why the Reds are in last place.
anyone else think that there has to be something wrong with wilson? he's not a great pitcher but he isnt this bad either.

The field of infectious disease immunology is at an exciting intersection with new concepts in immune regulation meeting with the dynamics of infectious diseases. We discuss how the identification of regulatory mechanisms has already helped develop new models to understand helminth infections, which remain among the most prevalent chronic diseases in the world today. The epidemiological imbalance between helminth infections in developing countries, and intensifying allergies and autoimmune pathologies in the industrialised nations, seems to reflect a fundamental shift in regulation of immune responsiveness. Experimental studies have verified that helminths can downmodulate a range of immunopathological conditions, with the regulatory T cell being one of the most common mechanisms in play. We discuss further the context of host genetic predisposition, together with the impact of infection on the evolution of the human immune system, and suggest future strategies to harness our new understanding of helminth organisms in order to control both infectious and non-infectious immunological disorders.

This restaurant has been here for years and every time I go, the quality of food has maintained excellence. Portion size is good. Service is great.
Try their lunch menu. It's reasonably priced. I have watched it increase over the years (what hasn't) but it doesn't seem to affect the portion size! I always get their soup (pic) but their...
Thai Princess is a small, cozy restaurant that fits well in the Entertainment District on King St W. The food (my standby is the curry pad Thai) is good, prepared quickly, and, if ordered for takeout, served in dishwasher-safe reusable takeout containers. Would easily recommend this place to small groups and for takeout.
I went there again and as last time the food is just great. The Chicken Lemongrass soup full of flavours, the chicken tender and juicy, the mango salad with a very nice and subtle dressing. If you enjoy Thai food check this place out.
I guess it's an ok place for a casual Thai exploration, the food was tasty, as usual I ordered the Curry Chicken and it's not bad at all... The place is a bit too small to have some real quality time with friends though. We made a reservation well ahead of time, and went as a big group for a...
I visited the Thai Princess during a business trip for a quick dinner. The service was very nice and quick. The lemongrass vegetable soup I ordered was delicious with all the great flavours I like about Thai food. The basil chicken was nicely prepared and tender and did not have that penetrant chicken taste I often experience in Thai or...
Ducked in for dinner during a business trip- really enjoyed the curry pa Thai, nice variation on tried and true. Service was very good- my only compliant was the Thai iced tea was REALLY sweet- for my taste it could have been a bit more tea.
Wouldn't hesitate to return with family and friends.
Tables close to the door suffer...
I love Thai food and until this dinner, princess Thai was always my place to go to.
Maybe there is a new chef... The food portion was much smaller than usual and I paid an extra charge for additional shrimp! It tasted great, but it was disappointing at the same time. The padThai was excellent- as always. Service was great....
I specialize in Thai restaurant reviews (over 50 so far), and this is my first in Canada. Looking at the list of Toronto Thai places, the Top 10 all boast an average of 4 stars. Maybe they ARE all very good? Thai Princess served me a nice plate of Pad Thai Dao Hu (tofu). First bite seemed rather sweet, but...
We ordered takeout a couple of times. We were very happy with the food and the service. I was especially impressed with how well the food was packed. (They used pieces of cardboard to keep the items separate.) We never did eat-in but I'd would say that it wouldn't be a good place for children, but a great place for...

- Lavinia Bertotti (Soprano)
Notes & Reviews:
Within the vast repertoire of the Baroque oratorio, San Nicola di Bari is unique in two ways. It is the only composition to treat a scene from Saint Nicholas' life, and the only one that emerged from the long and successful collaboration between the librettist Silvio Stampiglia and the composer Giovanni Bononcini. Ramee hopes that this recording of Bononcini's most successful oratorio will awaken some curiosity about the many other masterpieces of a composer who has, unfortunately and undeservedly, dwelled too long in the shadows.

Last week, the World Justice Project published the Open Government Index, an examination and ranking of governments' openness. Notably, the index used public surveys to and "in-country expert questionnaires" to score countries. It's an interesting approach. After all, the theoretical strength of the Freedom of Information Act matters little if the public does not find it to be an effective, useful tool. On the Open Government Partnership blog, WJP's Alejandro Ponce uses the Index data to illustrate that "OGP participation indeed linked to more transparent, participatory, and accountable government in practice."
Describing the US Federal Courts' approach to technology, Chief Justice John G. Roberts invoked the Supreme Court building's engraving that illustrates the fable of the tortoise and the hare. In the 2014 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, Roberts defended the judiciary's slow adoption of modern technology, citing funding, cybersecurity concerns, and equality of access. "Unlike commercial enterprises," Roberts notes, "the courts cannot decide to serve only the most technically-capable or well-equipped segments of the public." It's a worthy but bewildering concern from a court that restricts access to its history-making arguments to approximately 50 members of public.
According to the second civil society progress report on the implementation of the United States' Second National Action Plan, the US government remains on-course to meet the majority of its commitments one year into the two-year implementation period.
The following analysis is from Khaliah Barnes, Director of the Student Privacy Project and Administrative Law Counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).
The Obama Administration's Second Open Government National Action Plan aims to "use big data to support greater openness and accountability." The Administration has committed to:
Although it was not required to do so under the Open Government Directive, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) recently released its open government plan, spotlighting an initiative to prevent employer retaliation against whistleblowers.
This month, the Brookings Center for Effective Public Management published "Why Critics of Transparency Are Wrong," an article debunking myths about transparency in government. The piece, written by the Project On Government Oversight's Danielle Brian, the Bauman Foundation's Gary D.
OpenTheGovernment.org was pleased to host Al Kags as a Mandela Washington Fellow this summer. Mr. Kags is the founder of the Open Institute, a "think-do tank" that collaborates with governments and civil society groups on open government issues.
In partnership with OTG, Mr.Kags and the Open Institute present an insightful analysis of the role of civil society in the Open Government Partnership. In addition to observations drawn from conversations with government officials and civil society representatives from several OGP countries, the report features recommendations for improving CSO participation.
Twenty-five groups dedicated to openness and accountability asked the leaders of Congressional party caucuses and conferences to post their rules online. Public access to these rules would provide essential information about how Congress governs—how legislation leaves chambers, who may lead committees, and more.
From September 15th to 25th, civil society groups and governments will kick start an international dialogue on open parliamentary practices. GLOW is organized by the Legislative Openness Working Group of the Open Government Partnership.
On August 11th, Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) deleted records from several federal courts from its online database with little notice, once again spotlighting how PACER obstructs public access to court records. PACER is maintained by the Administrative Office of the US Courts and charges 10 cents for each page of public court documents downloaded.

Why testing take so much time?
Continuous Development Pipeline
During this talk I'm going to walk you step-by-step through practical implementation of continuous development pipeline using modern approaches and tools like Gradle (build automation), Jenkins (CI server), SonarQube (code quality analysis), Docker (deployment, containerisation), Ansible (immutable infrastructure) together.
Practical Considerations for Microservice Architectures
But what are the practical concerns associated with running more fine-grained systems, and what are the new things you'll need to know if you want to embrace the power of smaller services without the new sources of complexity making your life a nightmare?
This talk will delve deeper into the characteristics of well-behaved services, and will define some clear principles your services should follow. It will also discuss in more depth some of the challenges associated with managing and monitoring more complex distributed systems. We'll discuss how you can design services to be more fault-tolerant, what technologies may exist in your own platform to get you started. We'll end by giving some pointers as to when you should consider microservice architectures, and how you should go about introducing them in your own organisation.
The responsible developer
What is a responsible developer then?
It is a developer that writes clean, testable and maintainable code. A developer who can explain and describe his work. Someone that knows that he grows by helping his fellow developers and never settles for second best.
I will discuss the properties of a responsible developer and suggest ways you can improve to become a responsible developer.
Beyond breaking bad. The current state of agile in ten easy lessons
Building a micro-services architecture with smart use cases
The Primacy of Testability
In this presentation I will focus on a single quality attribute, testability, and in particular I will explore how maintaining testability will tend to improve many other attributes. Among other things, highly testable code is modular and loosely coupled by nature, is maintainable, supports scaling out development, and can improve feedback loops. By ensuring testability in a system you not only support these and other related qualities, but you also provide an important means to verify that they are being met.
Ultimately, I will look at how testability (and testedness) can be useful and reliable proxy or approximation for a wide range of qualities.
Open Decision in Architectural Evolution
Unit Testing – bug hunting tool or design tool?
Legacy projects: how to win the race
I have a decent experience with such projects and often after some work can be proud because the application receives a new life and a customer/product owner saves some budget. However, only few have the same passion for "deadly sick" projects so I would like to share the knowledge, how-to's and recipes of handling those fragile but stubborn folks – legacy projects.
New life inside monolithic application
Writing clean and DRY code for executable specifications
A gap between high level system validation requirements and capabilities of component API opens testers for use of different methods and even different programming languages when implementing test infrastructure code. This code is not deployed to production, so testers often get more liberty in choice of frameworks and tools used to validate system behavior. In this talk we will show that such freedom can be turned into an advantage to keep the test code clean and non-redundant. The main focus will be on implementing scenario steps for specifications written in Gherkin – a widely adopted language for specifications and user requirements. We will walk through a series of examples and short case studies.
The talk is technology agnostic but most of examples are taken from systems running on .NET platform.
Quality Built In
Quality of the product team
I will share with you the quality management system, born in our team for a project being the company business core. Step by step we will follow the value system, processes, development practices, solutions for various complicated situations and learning on our own errors process – including all difficulties and backflashes on the way to the set aim.
So, what about you? Do you know the signs of the mature team and product, the same as the moves which will keep you afloat? Let's verify!
Continious Delivery for a complicated product
I do hope the experience of my team will be very useful to the way of your team's successful continuous delivery.
How we testing our software "Google way"
Automation testing of responsive design
So the question is how to automate verification of UI features? In general automation testing tools are not smart enough to do this in entire sense of the context. Fortunately Galen Framework gives us a new hope, because it aimed to work with dimensions of web elements depends on browser window size. Hence we can add a new level of automation to our good old functional tests.

Busting TDD myths
- Does TDD slows down development speed?
- Are mocks evil?
- Can one get 100% code coverage?
- …
On this session Serhiy will either bust or confirm those and other myths basing on his experience as developer and engineering practices coach. Session is technology agnostic. Experience with TDD is not required.
A=F(?): How lack of common sense kills projects
How not to run a Code Review
Teams which don't follow the basic rules of efficient communication and problem solving during Сode Reviews, have a high risk of being affected by issues, which can lately ruin their team attitude and even personal relations between the colleagues.
Having faced with such negative experiences, I've collected a plenty of bad practices running a Code Review and asked my colleagues about their emotions after being "code reviewed" in unproper way.
With all of that we'll try to understand the most dangerous pitfalls of weak Code Reviews, their influences on team morale and will also leave some place for your experiences with this approach from your side. As a result you'll have a clear idea about how no to run a Code Review and avoid personal issues in your daily work.
Writing tests: practical guidelines including patterns, anti-patterns and best practices
The infrastructure of modern AngularJS web applications
Refactoring Legacy Сode
Refactoring legacy code is a much better idea. It is not so scary when you take it in very small bites, introduce small changes, add unit tests. When code is refactored and unit tests are added, changes to functinality can be introduced.
We will take an open source C# project and will refactor it showing step-by-step examples of the techniques. This session is full of tips and tricks you can start applying immediately. Although the code is in C#, the same principles can be applied in any language.

"We are all ok. Lots of messes, think fish tanks and china cabinets," Carrie Elizabeth Barnes Broman told friends in a message. "MeySen is housing staff and students' families in the school. ... No electricity or gas obviously - water available depending on building."
Randy Castle, an American man working in Japan, said his hotel lobby was full of people overnight who couldn't make it home from work.
"It started and it lasted a good five minutes, lots of shaking and very scary. I'm on the 11th floor, just down the street from the Tokyo tower," Castle said.
The Tokyo tower, a famed landmark in Japan, is now bent.
"It was a lot of swaying, you could hear the building creaking in it ... you could see the shades shaking back and forth," Castle said. "The people that I work with here in Tokyo, it was normal for them, but shortly after that it started to get scary the longer it went."
"We were just hanging out in Shibuya [Tokyo] today and walking down the street and all of a sudden felt like we were on a boat and looked up and tall buildings were going crazy, looking like they were going to tip over," said Kevin Williams, an American vacationing in Tokyo.
It's the strongest earthquake the world has seen since the 9.1 magnitude Indian Ocean quake in 2004, which triggered a massive tsunami. The combination of the quake and tsunami left 230,000 people dead.
The Japan quake hit at 2:46 p.m. local time in Japan, and lasted an astonishing five minutes. To put that in perspective, the devastating earthquake in Northridge, Calif., in 1994 lasted just six seconds.
"The bigger the earthquake, the larger the size of the fault that has to rupture to make it happen…you're seeing waves generated along a huge fault," Dr. Kate Hutton, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology, said.
At least 80 aftershocks above magnitude 5.0 -- and some as large as 7.4 -- have struck Japan, reversing the path of rivers, washing away boats and cars, and leaving buildings shaking like jelly.
There are reports of a missing train full of dozens of commuters in the earthquake region and a boat ripped from the docks of Miyagi with 80 workers on board being swept out to sea in the tsunami.
"We have to watch for chemical explosions, gas leaks, fires ... the agony is just beginning," Dr. Michio Kaku, a physicist, said. "Earthquakes take place in stages. ... We are only in act one. We have yet to go to act two."
A "nuclear emergency" was declared at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant after a power outage disabled the cooling system at one reactor and pressure built up. Nearly 3,000 people were evacuated from the region surrounding the plant.
Later, the company in charge of the plant and another plant nearby reported four more reactors had cooling system failures, the Associated Press reported.
Kaku, a physicist who also has family in Japan, said that the tsunami struck in the pivotal "Ring of Fire," an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones stretching around the Pacific. The region is where 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur.
ABC Radio and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Embassy of Poland, London
|Ambasada Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w Londynie Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London
|51°31′15″N 0°08′44″W / 51.5208°N 0.1456°WCoordinates: 51°31′15″N 0°08′44″W / 51.5208°N 0.1456°W
|Marylebone, London
|47 Portland Place, London, W1B 1JH
|Witold Sobków
The Embassy of Poland in London (Polish: Ambasada Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w Londynie) is the diplomatic mission of Poland in the United Kingdom.[1] It is located on Portland Place next to the High Commission of Kenya.[2]
Main chancery building[edit]
Shortly after the Second Polish Republic gained independence in 1919, there seemed to be a general feeling of ambivalence to Britain demonstrated by most Polish statesmen. Believing that good relations with traditional ally France, and neighbour Germany, were of more importance, the Polish government largely neglected relations with the United Kingdom and it was not until 1929 that the first Polish legation was sent to establish a permanent embassy in London.
Since 1929, the Polish embassy in London has played an important role in Polish history. With the realisation in the late 1930s that war with Germany was inevitable, the Polish government set about requesting military aid from the British government; the government also signed a three-way mutual defence pact with the United Kingdom and France in order to make sure Poland would never have to stand alone against a German invasion. Thus, much of the bureaucracy surrounding these pre-war pacts found itself centred in the halls and corridors of number 47, Portland Place.
As the war progressed and with the transfer of the Polish government-in-exile to London, Portland Place again became not only the nerve centre of Polish relations with the United Kingdom, but of the entire Polish Foreign Office. The embassy soon had to acquire a number of other buildings throughout the city in order to house the large number of diplomats and politicians required to make the government in exile work. For a long time, the building represented a democratic Poland, fighting for its freedom and its territorial integrity. However, in the post-war world (in which the People's Republic of Poland became a satellite state of the Soviet Union) the British government refused any longer to recognise the government in exile[3] and thus the London Poles (Officials of the Polish government in exile) had to vacate the Polish embassy on Portland Place and were left only with the exile-president's private residence at 43 Eaton Place, whilst in the meantime officials of the new communist regime moved into the Georgian-era embassy building.
Since the fall of the Polish United Workers' Party in 1989 and the re-establishment of democratic rule in 1990 under President Lech Wałęsa, the embassy at 47 Portland Place has again been the seat of the primary diplomatic legation of the Polish Republic to the United Kingdom. It was here that the initial process to repatriate the official presidential seal and symbols of office (they had previously been evacuated to London with the government in exile at the beginning and for the duration of the war) to the Polish people was begun.
Other sections and the Sikorski Institute[edit]
The Sikorski Institute and Museum is a Polish cultural information centre and the embassy's section for the promotion of Polish tourism, culture and history. To this end the institute also includes, at its South Kensington site, a museum of Polish history. The museum is largely dedicated to Polish military history and includes a large number of exhibits relating to the time spent by the Polish authorities as the 'Polish Government in Exile' in London.
Other Polish embassy sections in London include the Consular, Economic & Commercial Sections, all located at 73 New Cavendish Street, Fitzrovia just around the corner from the main embassy building.[4] This section of the embassy deals with all documentation for foreigners requiring a visa or other permission whose intent it is to travel to Poland or the Schengen area. Additionally the consular officers deal with passport applications and confirmations of Polish citizenship made both by foreigners and Polish nationals, they offer birth registration services and can offer information and guidance on many other topics ranging from death of a loved one abroad or transfer of the body to Poland to legal services and recommendations for personal safety.
Poland also maintains a Trade & Investment Promotion Department at 90 Gloucester Place, Marylebone and a Polish Cultural Institute at 52-53 Poland Street, Soho.[5]

48 HOURS: EVERYTHING TO LOSE Takes Saturday Night in Viewers, Households for CBS
"Everything to Lose" was Saturday night's #1 program in both households and viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Dec. 8, 2012. 48 HOURS (10:00-11:00 PM) was first in both households (3.6/07) and viewers (5.44m).
Saturday's broadcast featured Richard Schlesinger's report on the 2009 murder of Dana Clair Edwards in the wealthy San Antonio, Texas, enclave of Alamo Heights. Her mother, Deborah Edwards, was determined to get her daughter's killer locked up. Frustrated with the investigation, Edwards took matters into her own hands. She began taunting the alleged killer, Jon Thomas Ford, with notes and emails marking anniversaries, birthdays and holidays, like one that read "Mother's Day - Never the same."
Police arrested Ford, a former boyfriend of Dana Clair, a year after the murder. The trial pitted three top San Antonio prosecutors against the famed defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, who represented Ford. But could they convince a jury Ford killed Edwards, despite lost evidence and mistakes in the investigation?
48 HOURS: "Everything to Lose" includes interviews with Edwards' family, police, the prosecution, jurors and Ford's attorney. 48 HOURS: "Everything to Lose" is produced by Chris O'Connell. Ryan Smith is the field producer. Richard Barber is the producer/editor. Bruce Spiegel is the editor. Anthony Batson is the senior broadcast producer. Al Briganti is the executive editor. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 7/16/13
Our friend Bill Nichol, who is the founder and director of Outer Limits Athletic Performance in Pittsburgh, sent me an email to let me know what is going with Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Ziggy Hood as it relates to his 2013 offseason training program.Last year, Hood worked with Nichol in an effort to develop a better body composition, strength and explosiveness as he really underwent a complete body transformation. This year, Hood is focusing more on lateral and multi-directional movements in an effort to get quicker on his feet in addition to the other aspects of his game. Nichol told me that Hood even set a lifetime personal best this offseason on his bench press, and that he's in the best athletic shape of his life right now.It is a contract year for the Steelers former first-round draft pick, who recorded a career high 42 tackles in 2012 to go along with three sacks and the Steelers really could use an increase in production from the Missouri product. In his four seasons with the Steelers Hood hasn't missed a game and that alone is quite an accomplishment as well as a testament to the hard work that he puts in during the offseason.Below is the latest video of Hood training that Nichol passed along to us so you can see the type of workout that he goes through.Steelers DE Ziggy Hood Working To Improve Multi-Directional Movement This Offseason is a post from: Steelers Depot

Keeping Kids Playing Injury-Free
Sports Injuries Spiking
In 2003, more than 3.5 million kids aged 5 through 14 engaged in organized or informal sports activities were treated for injuries, according to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. That's up from 775,000 kids in 1995. Experts cite several reasons:
- Growing number of organized sports for boys and girls of all ages and increased participation.
- Organized sports attracting a generation of kids who have great finger dexterity from video games but lower cardiovascular health than previous generations of kids.
- Specialization and year-round play in a single sport leading to overuse injuries like strains and Little League Elbow.
- Parents pushing kids to excel. "Some parents are living through their kids, and 25% of parents expect their ninth graders will be pros," says Almquist, who is also athletic training specialist for the Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax, Va.
- Failure to rest after injury. "Some parents will doctor shop to find one who will clear their kid to play," says Almquist.
- Parent volunteers not trained in proper coaching techniques or first aid.
- Church and independent sports leagues without plans for events such as lightning or medical emergencies. "Whereas high school teams have a limited number of players and might employ an athletic trainer, church and independent leagues might have 300 to 500 players and no medical personnel," says April Morin, executive director of the National Center for Sports Safety (NCSS) in Birmingham, Ala.
What the Research Shows
"A lot more research needs to be done on youth and high school populations," says Almquist. "Most research is done on college kids, and it doesn't always translate well to younger populations."
NATA released a detailed three-year study in 1999 showing trends in high school injuries in 10 sports: boys football, boys basketball, girls basketball, boys wrestling, girls field hockey, girls volleyball, boys soccer, girls soccer, boys baseball, and girls softball.
Overall, in every sport except field hockey, sprains and strains accounted for at least half the injuries. Of injuries requiring surgery, 60.3% were to knees. On average, more than half the injuries occurred during practices.

MY 4 year old loves this toothpaste, to the point he now will squeeze his own toothpaste and brush before bed and in the mornings. He's learnt how to spit so fluoride isn't a problem. Love the smell and taste and that it's a safe product.
Nice toothpaste

Great tasting toothpaste. I wish they would make the same stuff for adults. Kids absolutely love this. This also has the coolest looking toothpaste tube and package. :) I'm surely gonna check other kiss my face products.

Mark Redman (previously Dunlop) is a fictional character in the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street. He is the son of long-running character Mike Baldwin and Maggie Dunlop. He was played by Thomas Hawkeswood from 1983 till 1984, by Christopher Oakes in 1986, Michael Bolstridge in 1991 and then by Christopher Cook from 1992 till 1996 and then most recently Paul Fox from 1999 till 2006. He first appeared during the episode airing on 31 October 1983 and last appeared on 17 April 2006.
Maggie married Harry Redman soon after splitting up with Mike, and Harry brought up Mark like his own son. Mike found out about Mark after Harry's death and he started interfering with Mark's and his mother's lives, paying for Mark to go to Oakhill Grammar School and alienating him from his old friends. Mark was relieved to move away from Weatherfield to Felixstowe when his mother remarried.
After leaving school, Mark returned to Weatherfield in 1999 to see his father and stayed on for a while, helping out in the factory, but fell in love with Mike's young fiancée, Linda Sykes. They began an affair in the new year which was pretty self-destructive. Linda and Mark were made partners in the company and Mark tried to make it work, but it was too much and he eventually decided to leave Weatherfield again, for Amsterdam, agreeing to return for the wedding.
When he did, the secret all came out on the wedding day and Mike was furious. He told Mark to get out and never come back. While things went on to be slightly friendlier between them, their relationship never entirely recovered and Mark moved to Holland soon after.
By 2006, Mark was living with his girlfriend in Doncaster and estranged from his father. He was shocked to find a confused Mike on his doorstep, unaware that his father was now suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Mike initially believed Mark to be his youngest son Adam Barlow, but upon remembering Mark's affair with Linda he left. Later that week, Mike died of a heart attack and Mark attended his burial from a distance. Afterwards, he visited the factory and introduced himself to Adam. When Adam explained that their other half-brother Danny Baldwin had used Mike's illness to get him to leave him everything in his will, Mark urged his brother to contest it.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Daniel email@example.com Two airport security officers, and an airline employee, were sentenced to federal prison for their role in smuggling drugs from Atlanta to New York City. Leslie Adgar, a 42-year-old Delta Airlines employee, and Jon Patton, a 44-year-old officer with the Transportation Security Administration, were each sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison. Andre Mays, a 24-year-old TSA officer, was sentenced to two years in prison. "Their greed led to their demise," said Rodney G. Benson, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Agency's Atlanta office. "[They] betrayed the trust of the American public by breaching the ever-important role of front-line airport security." The trio pleaded guilty in June to smuggling cocaine and heroin through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The airport employees were accepting sums of up to $25,000 to sneak the drugs onto an airplane, apparently charging $5,000 for the first kilo of cocaine and $3,000 for each additional kilo. They were working for a New York City drug dealer who purchased his "snow" and "smack" in Atlanta, and needed help moving it north. Their plan fell apart when the drug dealer began cooperating with the Drug Enforcement Agency and a district attorney's office in New York, becoming a "confidential informant." Undercover DEA agents followed the Atlanta trio three times, as they moved through the steps of their smuggling operation. At the airport, the two TSA officers accepted a carry-on bag, full of money and drugs. They separated the drugs from the money in the bathroom, moved the drugs through the security checkpoint, without running their bags through the X-ray, and then handed the bag to the other Delta employee, who flew to LaGuardia Airport, and took the second half of a payment from the New York man. The federal agents followed the smuggling system in December 2007, set it up and watched it run again in January, and then arrested the employees at the airport in February. "Patton and Adgar used their TSA and airline positions to smuggle what they believed to be cocaine and heroin through security at our airport," said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney. "In return, they each received lengthy prison sentences from the court. These sentences appropriately reflect the seriousness of their conduct, and are a reminder that those who attempt to exploit perceived weaknesses in airport security will face federal prosecution." Mays, the youngest of the smugglers, was involved in only one of the operations watched by the DEA, and received a substantially shorter sentence. He pleaded guilty to entering a secure airport area in violation of federal screening requirements. David Holmes, assistant administrator for the TSA Office of Inspection, said the sentences do not reflect the kind of people who work in airport security. "We hold our officers to the highest standard, and worked aggressively with law enforcement and our federal partners to pursue this case," Holmes said. "These individuals in no way reflect the integrity of the thousands of transportation security officers who work to keep the nation's aviation system secure."
