The body of Punjab-born UK hotelier Ranjit Singh Power (54) was handed over to his friend Darshan Singh, a UK-based NRI with roots in Jalandhar, on Saturday, and would be transported to the deceased's hometown Wolverhampton city in the United Kingdom for cremation. Power's body was fished out from an Ambala canal on Monday.
Police remain unclear on the motive behind the murder, but claim to have gathered from a co-accused that Power had arrived in Amritsar on May 8 to settle a business dispute with old friend Baldev Singh Deol, and the latter, along with his distant nephew taxi driver Sukhdev Singh, had kidnapped and strangulated him and then thrown his body into the Bhakra canal near Anandpur Sahib in Rupnagar district. Deol has since absconded, while Sukhdev has been in custody and was remanded to further three-day police remand on Saturday.
Representatives of John Pinto International Private Limited, a funeral and embalming firm, along with Darshan were handed over the possession of the body from the mortuary of the Sacred Heart Hospital.
Darshan said the body would be in the UK in three days and would be cremated there.
"The family of the deceased, including his son and the daughter, are traumatised and did not want to travel to India. On their request, permission to transport the body was taken," said Darshan.
Interestingly, even as the body leaves the country and the main accused Deol is still at large and has reportedly been sighted in the UK, the police claim that the three-day remand of Sukhdev would help it recover the briefcase of Power that contained 3,000 pounds (around `3 lakh) and clothes.
"We have completed the process of issuing a red-corner notice on Deol and informed the Interpol," a senior police official said, adding that the UK embassy had been informed and officials were being kept in the loop.

Can't find my videos, just a gray square!
Tonight I was taking videos and a couple of pictures with my droid mini. I was also switching to the gallery to view what I was taking and everything was there. In the middle of the last video, the screen freezes and I had to power down because my phone was just frozen. When I powered back up, I saw just 5 gray squares where those last 5 pieces of media should have been. They were saved and viewable before this happened!! How can I open or get them back! I've read a few threads, but all the back up methods do not work. My phone is not rooted. I uploaded all my files into my computer, and they are simply not there. It's not a huge giant issue, because everything else remained as it was, but these were videos of me playing with my kid. They didn't even get backed up onto google plus yet. I did shoot a test video right after my phone came back on...and the gray squares are still there.

Re: Can't find my videos, just a gray square!
Welcome to Android Central! Try using a file manager like ES File Explorer (or the stock file manager, if one came preinstalled) to navigate to the DCIM folder (the directory should be something like /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera), and see if the video files are there. If you see them, try opening them from there. It's possible the Gallery database got corrupted somehow--you could also try clearing the cache for the Gallery app by going to Settings>Apps>All, selecting Gallery, and tapping Clear Cache.

Spencos and tuli cups
Posted by
on 9/06/98 at 01:38 (001649)
after getting rid of my orthodics I first tried going without any inserts but as my foot was used to having orthodics support them for 1 1/2 years this caused pain in the cuboid joint due to sublaxation. So the ease the cuboid joint pain I put in a $20. pair of Spenco inserts and to keep my heel snug in the shoe I added a tuli cup on top. (not the other type of cups, specifically tuli cups). Recently, I bought new sneakers, Saucony Grid Control, and got rid of the tuli cups. After a few weeks I got rid of the Spencos and just where the runners on their own. I sometimes put the SPencos back in. Hope this was helpful to you! Best of luck...Rhonda

Motivational election panel raid
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi condemned the 'raid' by election expenditure observers at the private residence of Agriculture Minister Rockybul Hussain.
"It is politically motivated. It exposes the central government's attitude towards the opposition," Gogoi told media .
"It also exposes the Centre's policy to denigrate the opposition. The raid was conducted before the election. They did not find anything from his house. It is politically motivated to defame the Congress," Gogoi said. Elections to the 126-member Assam assembly will be held on April 4 and 11.
A team of election expenditure observers raided Hussain's residence at Panjabari area in Guwahati for over five hours on March 16.
Hussain has lodged an FIR at the Dispur police station here, saying the raid was aimed at defaming him ahead of the polls.
Meanwhile, Gogoi also attacked Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate Sarbananda Sonowal and dared him to make public how much money he had given for the development of Majuli from his Member of Parliament's Local Area Development Fund.
Sonowal filed his nomination papers on Wednesday from Majuli (reserve – ST) constituency in Jorhat district.

Selling Suffrage by Margaret Finnegan
Book DescriptionMargaret Finnegan's pathbreaking study of woman suffrage from the 1850s to the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 reveals how activists came to identify with consumer culture and employ its methods of publicity to win popular support through carefully crafted images of enfranchised women as "personable, likable, and modern." Drawing on organization records, suffragists' papers and memoirs, and newspapers and magazines, Finnegan shows how women found it in their political interest to ally themselves with the rise of consumer culture--but the cost of this alliance was a concession of possibilities for social reform. When manufacturers and department stores made consumption central to middle-class life, suffragists made an argument for the ballot by comparing good voters to prudent comparison shoppers. Through suffrage commodities such as newspapers, sunflower badges, Kewpie dolls, and "Womanalls" (overalls for the modern woman), as well as pantomimes staged on the steps of the federal Treasury building, fashionable window displays, and other devices, "Votes for Women" entered public space and the marketplace. Together these activities and commodities helped suffragists claim legitimacy in a consumer capitalist society.Imaginatively interweaving cultural and political history, Selling Suffrage is a revealing look at how the growth of consumerism influenced women's self-identity.

Mission: India
Mission Facts
Location: Salem, India
Population: 696,760
Dates: 02/20/2016 - 02/28/2016
Surgeons: Dr. Stuart Hosie
Focus: General, ENT
Complexity: Medium
Training: Medium
Average Mended: 30
Mission Brief
Where in the World
India is a country located in Southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, between Burma and Pakistan. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Home to the Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Agriculture is not only the dominant occupations of the people of India but is also one of the most important economic sectors for the country. Approximately 28.09% of the population are children between the ages of 0-14 years.
Healthcare in India
Twenty-eight percent of the population in India is made up of children. India spends only around 4.2% of its national GDP towards healthcare goods and services. Additionally, there are wide gaps between the rural and urban populations in its healthcare system which worsen the problem. A staggering 70% of the population still lives in rural areas and has no or limited access to hospitals and clinics. Consequently, the rural population mostly relies on alternative medicine and government programs in rural health clinics. One such government program is the National Urban Health Mission which pays individuals for healthcare premiums, in partnership with various local private partners, which have proven ineffective to date. According to the World Bank and National Commission�s report on Macroeconomics, only 5% of the population is covered by health insurance policies.
The Mission
Mending Kids is hosting its inaugural mission to Salem, India, where the team will be performing free, life-changing and life-saving surgeries for children who otherwise have no access to the care that they need. Dr. Stuart Hosie, Chief Physician of the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Schwabing Hospital in Germany, will be leading his surgical team in specialties of orthopedics, ENT, and general surgery. This mission is generously sponsored by Real Life Church in Santa Clarita, CA.
Interested Volunteers
The surgical and non-surgical teams for this mission are currently full and no longer accepting new participants.

You could use a bike with a parent handle instead. That way he could still feel like he is a big boy and you could use it to teach him about listening and road rules at the same time. I do think it is important you teach him about stopping before the road and not leaving your side whether he is in a pram or walking.
DS is 3 and I still use a stroller for him when we go to the shops, somewhere busy or are having a long day out. He walks too slow and gets distracted easily and I need him to still be agreeable to going in the pram when I have our next baby in Jan (so I don't have to worry about losing him).

Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine by gmp ArchitektenTuesday, June 12th, 2012
Article source: gmp Architekten
On the occasion of the UEFA European Football Championships in 2012, which Ukraine is staging jointly with Poland, the rebuilding of the Olympic Stadium for the final game has been realized.
The new design for the reconstruction of the stadium respects the historic fabric with its important filigree prestressed concrete upper tier built in 1968, the frame of the new roof structure being detached and placed clear of the existing bowl. This most distinctive feature is therefore being encased in a new filigree glass façade and will be duly illuminated with appropriate lighting.

Working on the Project we tried to prove to client and to ourselves that concrete could be warm, wood could be smooth and metal could be soft. The project itself was a top floor 3-level penthouse with total space of 380sq.m., located in the heart of Kyiv on a Dnieperriver. Third floor of the apartment comprised an open terrace facing Kyiv left bank panorama on a south-east with total space of 250sq.m.

Game without rules
The most rewarding for a designer is – to make home for himself. What you will create, there you will live. Without censorship.
Sergei Makhno had left the workshop, where he both lived and worked (see Archidea, September 2009), and with his wife Vlada, for cases exclusively creative, moved here, in his new \"Parisian\" apartment. The apartment, actually, is in Kiev – but only geographically. Light negligence with which paintings are placed – hung, a bold combination of colors, the French panels, and uncovered artistry in the pseudo-classic's entourage – immediately evoke images of the bohemian studios of Latin Quarter. However, to break stereotypes – is Makhno style. It is time to discard all complex and simply accept – in Ukraine we can do even more interesting and brighter design. Playing with textures, materials and color in his projects, Sergei constantly breaks the rules – he can put parquetry on the walls, or make «Tetris» game on the ceiling, from ordinary fluorescent lamps.
23 Parks in Kiev, Ukraine by MaxwanSaturday, August 20th, 2011
Article source: Maxwan
This project sets out not to create one park, but many great parks. Given the shear scale of the project the idea is not to create a singular grand vision, but to create a framework for thinking about the idea of a park that is intrinsically related to how to successfully implement the park over time. In reality, most parks are composed of a series of separate spaces that are somehow bound together. This design embraces that reality and showcases it. This diverse set of spaces combined with the four binding elements, shown raw, gives the park its distinct identity.
Bridge in Kiev, Ukraine by MaxwanTuesday, August 16th, 2011
Article source: Maxwan
As part of a park competition in Kiev – Ukraine, Maxwan resolved a missing gap in the primary pedestrian path. The solution goes beyond merely creating a bridge. It strives to create a signature place, within the park. It avoids any of the assumed formal or structural gestures. By doing so, it creates an almost non-bridge.

Food are good without a doubt, staff are fine but the arrogant obnoxious Dominican Chef have a horrible attitude!!!
Now this is a place that I used to frequent daily for years and years. Until it was sold. The food and prices used to be a good value, however prices are now a little way to expensive for just a quick morning stop.
Very friendly staff and the breakfast items are always solid. One of our favorite places to have breakfast. Prices are very reasonable as well.
This is a very good, clean diner. The staff is polite and accommodating.
I went there a few times and never had any disappointments.
The food is very good, very generous portions.
In other words - this place is recommended.

The Croatian island of Hvar bills itself as the "sunniest island in the Adriatic", averaging 2,742 hours of sunshine a year.
Konoba Menego
On the steps between the main square and the castle, this authentic stone-walled konoba has candlelit tables and whole pršut (prosciutto) hanging from the wooden beamed ceiling. Come here to snack on small platters of locally produced, cold Dalmatian specialties such as kožji sir (goat cheese), pršut, salata od hobotnice (octopus salad) and masline (olives), accompanied by a carafe of homemade wine. They also do a special Children's Plate. Before leaving, round off your meal with pijane smokve (figs marinated in brandy), and be sure to check out the world atlas where guests sign on the pages of their home towns.
Restoran Palmižana
On the tiny island of Sveti Klement, a 20-minute taxi-boat ride from Hvar Town, this terrace restaurant is backed by a romantic wilderness of Mediterranean flora and offers stunning views over the open sea. The walls are decorated with contemporary Croatian art, and there are classical-music recitals on Sunday morning. Besides fresh seafood, goodies include kožji sir sa rukolom (goat cheese with arugula), and pašticada (beef stewed in sweet wine and prunes).
Franjevački samostan
East of town, along the quay past the Arsenal, lies the Franjevački samostan. Within its walls, a pretty 15th-century Renaissance cloister leads to the former refectory, now housing a small museum with several notable artworks.
Stari Grad
The site of the original Greek settlement on Hvar, called Pharos by the Greeks, Stari Grad is a conglomeration of smaller communities; it's also the entry-point to the island for bus transportation from the mainland, as well as passenger ferries. The town is 10 km (6 mi) east of Hvar Town.Tvrdalj. The main sight is the Tvrdalj, the fortified Renaissance villa of the 16th-century poet Petar Hektorović. The home has been renovated twice over the centuries, first in the 18th-century baroque style; a partial restoration was also done in the 19th century. Hektorović attempted to create a "model universe" to be embodied in his home. To that end, a large fish pond is stocked with gray mullet, as they were in the poet's own time, representing the sea; above the fish pond in a tower is a dovecote, representing the air. Ivy was allowed to cover the walls to tie the home to the land. Quotations from his poetry are inscribed on many walls. 8 Ul. Molo Njiva, Stari Grad, 21460. 021/765–068. 15 Kn. May-June, and Oct., daily 10–1; July-Sep. daily 10–1 and 6–8.

Qualitative risk assessment in a data-scarce environment: A model to assess the impact of control measures on spread of African Swine Fever

Dhollander S.,Animal Health and Welfare Unit |
Salman M.,Colorado State University |
Koenen F.,Veterinary and Agrochemical Research Center
Preventive Veterinary Medicine | Year: 2011
In the absence of data, qualitative risk assessment frameworks have proved useful to assess risks associated with animal health diseases. As part of a scientific opinion for the European Commission (EC) on African Swine Fever (ASF), a working group of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the risk of ASF remaining endemic in Trans Caucasus Countries (TCC) and the Russian Federation (RF) and the risk of ASF becoming endemic in the EU if disease were introduced. The aim was to develop a tool to evaluate how current control or preventive measures mitigate the risk of spread and giving decision makers the means to review how strengthening of surveillance and control measures would mitigate the risk of disease spread. Based on a generic model outlining disease introduction, spread and endemicity in a region, the impact of risk mitigation measures on spread of disease was assessed for specific risk questions. The resulting hierarchical models consisted of key steps containing several sub-steps. For each step of the risk pathways risk estimates were determined by the expert group based on existing data or through expert opinion elicitation. Risk estimates were combined using two different combination matrices, one to combine estimates of independent steps and one to combine conditional probabilities. The qualitative risk assessment indicated a moderate risk that ASF will remain endemic in current affected areas in the TCC and RF and a high risk of spread to currently unaffected areas. If introduced into the EU, ASF is likely to be controlled effectively in the production sector with high or limited biosecurity. In the free range production sector, however, there is a moderate risk of ASF becoming endemic due to wild boar contact, non-compliance with animal movement bans, and difficult access to all individual pigs upon implementation of control measures. This study demonstrated the advantages of a systematic framework to assist an expert panel to carry out a risk assessment as it helped experts to disassociate steps in the risk pathway and to overcome preconceived notions of final risk estimates. The approach presented here shows how a qualitative risk assessment framework can address animal diseases with complexity in their spread and control measures and how transparency of the resulting estimates was achieved. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Objectives: Previously described methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST398 strains revealed a high frequency of phenotypic resistance to spectinomycin. However, only a few were found to carry the spc resistance determinant. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic mechanism of spectinomycin resistance among spc-negative MRSA ST398 strains. Methods: Nine spectinomycin-resistant, but spc-negative, MRSA ST398 strains were analysed. The strains were screened for carriage of the spw gene and tested for the presence of transferrable spectinomycin resistance. Plasmid DNAwas isolated from all strains and used in transformation assays. The plasmid identified as mediating resistance to spectinomycin was fully sequenced. The function of the novel spectinomycin resistance gene was confirmed by restriction digest inactivation and its distribution was determined using a PCR assay. Results: A single MRSA ST398 strain was spw positive. The remaining strains carried a plasmid that mediated resistance to spectinomycin. Sequence analysis of a single plasmid, termed pDJ91S, revealed that it was 3928 bp in size and contained three open reading frames: a novel spectinomycin resistance gene, designated spd, as well as a repN gene and a rec gene. The XmnI digest inactivation of the spd gene resulted in a 4-fold decrease in spectinomycin MIC. The spd gene was detected in seven other spectinomycin-resistant MRSA ST398 strains that carried a plasmid comparable in size to pDJ91S. Conclusions: A novel gene, designated spd, that confers resistance to spectinomycin has been identified on a small plasmid in MRSA ST398. © Crown copyright 2014. Source

The high prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST398 among pigs in certain European countries and North America and its occurrence in other animal species raises a question concerning the molecular mechanisms mediating the success of this lineage. In this study a panel of S. aureus strains belonging to sequence type (ST) 5 (n = 4), ST8 (n = 5), ST15 (n = 5), ST22 (n = 8), clonal complex (CC) 30 (n = 8), CC97 (n = 8), CC130 (n = 4), CC151 (n = 4) and ST398 (n = 18) were screened by DNA microarray and PCR for the carriage of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes. Isolates belonging to the same sequence type/clonal complex (ST/CC) were found to share similar virulence gene profiles. The ST398 lineage displayed the lowest content of virulence genes, which consisted mainly of genes detected among the majority or all of the analysed lineages. All MRSA ST398 isolates lacked accessory virulence genes that were detected in other ST/CC. In contrast to virulence genotype, the antimicrobial resistance genes profiles varied between isolates belonging to the same ST/CC and profile similarities could be observed for isolates from different lineages. MRSA ST398 isolates in particular displayed significant diversity and high content of antimicrobial resistance genes. This was comparable with certain MRSA belonging to other sequence types particularly the equine MRSA ST8. The apparent lack of significant virulence genes among MRSA ST398 strains, demonstrates that the lineage features a unique genetic background but no ST398-specific virulence markers could be identified. © 2012 Jamrozy et al.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy | Year: 2014
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at assessing the epidemiology and genetic diversity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus sciuri (MRSS) from different farm animal species.METHODS: Nasal swabs were collected from 200 pigs, 100 dairy cows, 100 beef cows, 150 veal calves and 200 broilers. Colonies were isolated on selective media containing cefoxitin and the mecA gene was detected by PCR. Antimicrobial resistance was determined by broth microdilution. The genetic diversity was assessed by PFGE and resistance and virulence genes were detected by microarray analysis.RESULTS: The total MRSS prevalence at the animal level was estimated at 9.5%, varying from ∼10% in veal (13.3%), broilers (12.5%) and dairy cows (10.0%) to 6.5% in pigs and 3.0% in beef cows. mecA was detected in all isolates. SCCmec elements of type III and non-typeable ones were seen most frequently. More than 90% of isolates were non-wild-type (NWT) for gentamicin, penicillin, tiamulin, clindamycin and quinupristin/dalfopristin. The frequency of NWT isolates for fusidic acid and trimethoprim ranged between 78% and 87%. PFGE analysis allowed distinction between two major clusters. Most isolates tested by microarray carried erm and tet genes. Virulence genes were also detected, including an isa gene encoding an immune-evasion factor and the hsdS2 gene encoding a site-specific deoxyribonuclease.CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that multiresistant MRSS is carried by different farm animal species. Although some animals shared the same strain, PFGE showed different patterns, indicating high diversity among the MRSS isolates recovered. The absence of clusters associated with a certain animal species suggests low host specificity. © The Author 2014.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy | Year: 2011
Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), collected from 109 Belgian acute-care hospitals during a national survey in 2008, were investigated for macrolide-lincosamide (ML) resistance with particular emphasis on the analysis of erm(T)-carrying isolates. Methods: In total, 314 MRSA and 212 MSSA were collected and characterized by spa typing. The SCCmec type of MRSA was determined. Resistance to ML antibiotics was detected by agar dilution and resistant strains were screened by PCR for erm(A), erm(C) and msr(A). Five ML-resistant MSSA isolates, negative by PCR for the aforementioned genes, were further characterized. Results: Half of all MRSA isolates (n=157; 50.0%) were resistant to erythromycin and harboured the gene erm(A) (n=112), erm(C) (n=41), erm(A) + erm(C) (n=3) or msr(A) (n=1). The erm(A) gene was mainly present in MRSA spa-CC002-ST5-SCCmec II and spa-CC008-ST8-SCCmec IV (where CC stands for clonal complex and ST stands for sequence type); the distribution of erm(C) was more diverse. Thirty-five of the 40 erythromycin-resistant MSSA (18.9%) carried the gene erm(A) (n=17), erm(C) (n=9) or msr(A) (n=9). The remaining five MSSA were ST398-t571 isolates, which exhibited closely related ApaI PFGE patterns, harboured the gene erm(T) in the chromosomal DNA and did not exhibit additional resistances. These isolates were from severe infections in patients, of whom four had no contact and one had only indirect contact with livestock via a family member working in animal husbandry. Conclusions: The ML-streptogramin B ('MLS B') resistance genes erm(A) or erm(C) were detected in the majority of ML-resistant MRSA and MSSA isolates. The erm(T) gene was identified in MSSA ST398 isolates from five independent patients who lacked direct contact with livestock. © The Author 2011.

The upshot for Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ:CLNE):
Third profitable quarter in a row.
Revenues increased by 24% year-over-year, and their gross margins increased by over 20%. That is a surprisingly large increase in margin from a year ago, when fuel prices were much higher. SG&A and Capital expenditures are down.
Strong station construction indicates that natural gas fueling is still spreading in popularity. Station construction will accelerate in the second half of the year substantially.
This quarter the company realized a 10.1 million dollar gain from its debt repayment. This is real money, but will likely not happen again next quarter, even though such gains have been realized the last two quarters.
So, without these gains, CLNE would have lost about 6 cents this quarter and about 13 cents in the previous quarter.
One can see that the increases in gross profits are real, and that at this pace, the company could see "permanent" or "consistent" profits by the end of the year. This would be another surprise, as I along with others were not expecting such a development until 2017 or 2018.
There are further developments that may result in larger and more profitable surprises down the line; CEO Andrew Littlefair mentioned some of these catalysts in the Q2 conference call:
1) The Volkswagen diesel fuel scandal settlement requires them to pay billions into a fund to help clean the air of diesel exhaust. Some of this money will go to funding low NOx trucks that run on CNG or LNG (CLNE's chief fuel products).
2) NG trucks seem to be increasing in fuel efficiency, making them more attractive.
3) California is considering shifting over 900,000 trucks to natural gas.
To these developments, one might add that China continues its ramp up of natural gas fueling. The nation saw 571 nat gas fueling stations added in January to March of this year, and the ruling party plans to increase the total from under 8000 to 12,500 by the year 2020.
Of course, if Westport Fuel Systems (NASDAQ:WPRT) were to sell 900,000 trucks in California over the next fifteen years or if they were to sell a million trucks to China to help with their smog and pollution catastrophe, that company would be well beyond profitability, which it too reached this quarter. Their sales would multiply by ten or more.
Just to give you the scale of the Chinese ramp-up, the 571 stations added in Q1 is about the same number of stations that Clean Energy runs in North America. Would CLNE expand into a nation like China? Probably not, but they can sell them thousands of their new modular compressors.
Hillary Clinton, of course, is the ultimate catalyst. Look for new pollution regulations with her election, including implementing near smog-free trucks, as built by Westport. Why not cut smog down and save money simultaneously? This is the crux of her save-the-environment-while-improving-the-economy policy.
Catalysts abound, but even without them, both Clean Energy and Westport may be at the cusp of sustained profitability.

The producer visited Q-Tip's Beats 1 show Abstract Radio earlier today and treated the world with a few unreleased exclusives, such as an alternate version of Kanye West's "Touch the Sky" featuring Robert Glasper, a rework of JAY Z's "Early in the Morning", Rick Ross' "Lord Knows" verse over "Computer Love", and more. Listen to Just Blaze's takeover below.

Thanks bubbles. I hope you start feeling better. I didn't want to stop ttc after my losses, everyone's different though. I actually had testing and they found nothing wrong, my body was doing everything right and they put it down to bad luck - statistics say 1 in 3 conceptions end in miscarriage but fertility specialists say it's more like 1 in 2. And the pregnancy tests these days (especially first response) are so sensitive it's crazy. I want a couple more kids after this one is born (fingers crossed) but I know deep down I will probably have more miscarriages in the future.
Hope you are ok. And that you fall pregnant with a sticky baby soon!
thanks lovable. when testing with ds and dd I used clear blue tests a day or so after my period was due. But when I saw on the first response test box I could test early I couldn't help myself last Saturday. ..after this miscarriage I won't be doing that again. I would rather not know if I have had a chem preg again and just think it was af. It's very upsetting even though it all happens so fast.
it's silly but I can't even bring myself to throw out the last positive pregnancy test I did Mon.. I am a weirdo hey lol.
that's enough of being a sad sack... I am looking at the positive side... beibgvthat we can conceive and it was just unlucky.
lovable-enjoy your last months of pregnancy. before you know it you will have your beautiful baby snuggled up in your arms having newborn cuddles and be relishing that amazingly beautiful feeling of motherhood
all the best hun and thanks again for taking the time to reply to my venting post. just writing my feelings here has been really therapeutic for me... thanks again

Capture: Stories From The Centre,
I was there. I was about as close as Simon, but a bit more to the right. What an incredible gig it was. I've seen hundreds of great gigs over the years from the obscure to the massive stars, but this was easily one of the best I've ever seen.
Hard News: Music! That one album,
Those are more or less my thoughts about Skeleton Tree, too.
I'm going to the Wellington show, it'll be the fifth time I've seen he and the Bad Seeds in the past 25 years (Yes, they are indeed my all-time favourite band...).
I'm really pleasantly surprised that he's touring at all - I thought he was going to lay low for a couple of years, given the circumstances. Plus, he hardly needs the acclaim or money these days.
It'll be great to see PJ Harvey the following week, too !
Hard News: From Zero: Drugs and popular culture,
This is pretty good, too:
Is there a "Bat-shit crazy, whack-bar things Donald Trump is likely to say before election day" bingo card on the internet yet ?
RIP, Helen Kelly and thank so much for standing up for workers.
I met Helen only briefly two years ago - the day after Dirty Politics was published. It was at the UBS in Dunedin and she was buying four copies. We had a quick chat about the book and I told her to keep up the good work she'd always done.
My sincere condolences to her friends and family.
Hard News: Friday Music: After the…, in reply to
I know it's a celebration, but that still didn't stop John Campbell's gushing of superlatives seem spurious.
Hard News: Friday Music: After the…, in reply to
Not at all. Thomas Oliver is a one-man Op Shop..
Hard News: Friday Music: After the…, in reply to
Steve Abel – NZ's answer to Nick Cave
No he is not. Steve Abel is a solid, competent singer-songwriter, but nothing beyond that.
He is merely ok, in a blandly capable manner, but dull as dishwater otherwise. His songs simply don't have the breadth, depth and richness of Cave's ouvre.
None of his songs even approach 'Tupelo', 'The Mercy Seat', 'Brother My Cup Is Empty' and umpteen more.
(Sorry Jason, I realise I'm being cranky, but NC&TBS have been my favourite band for over 30 years, I've seen them four times in the past 25 years, etc, etc).
Hard News: Friday Music: After the…,
The returning host John Campbell was relaxed and eloquent and the show itself felt quite different to last year's slightly strained anniversary award.
It might've felt like that if you were there, but it came across really poorly on TV (I watched RNZ's coverage).
I watched it for an hour and it seemed curiously flat and dull.
As for Campbell, again, it may've seemed like that if you were there, but I thought he was really poor.
Over and over, every time he introduced a band or commented once they'd finished, it was just dire. He reeled off, over and over, a plethora of platitudes that became increasingly empty, patronising and spurious the more it happened.
It was like seeing a proud parent gushing over their kids' kindergarten painting, an excess of completely needless superlatives, every time he opened his gob.
It would've helped if he'd been a lot more measured and professional, rather than being a fan-boy, over and over. He was just embarrassing.
It pains me to say all this about him, too. He's superb when he's professional and I like a lot of the same bands he does, but some restraint would've been appreciated in this case.
Hard News: Friday Music: The Cinema of Loss,
Saw the movie on Thursday, too. He's really put himself through the mincer (especially in his twenties, early thirties) has Nick Cave and always managed to endure, but dear oh dear, he really looked - understandably - wrung-out by things in it.
Both it and the new album are very compelling but sombre, needless to say.

Extraction of "clay fraction". Objective: Obtain <2µm size fraction rich in clay minerals. Basis: Application of Stoke's Law. Restrictions: Based on settling of 2µm spherical quartz particle under specific laboratory conditions. DO NOT MODIFY!
Preliminary Determine whether sample will slake (disaggregate) in water. Gently crush by impact to produce 1-2 mm particles. Use pH control or selective dissolution (CBD, etc.) to remove cementing compounds.
Settling Add about 40 g of sample to 400 ml beaker. Fill to top mark with water or 0.01wt% Na- phosphate solution. Let stand overnight. Stir vigorously. Allow to settle for 3 hrs and 30 min.
Problem Flocculation is evident by the formation of a particle-dense fluid layer after a short time. Alleviate by diluting clay concentration, adjusting pH to about 9.0, or washing to remove interstitial salts.
Extraction Remove material in top 5 cm of the suspension by slowly extracting with a syringe or siphon. Begin extraction at the top and follow declining liquid to avoid inclusion of coarser particles from below.
Concentration Repeat extraction 2-3X and combine. Pour into 50 ml tubes and weigh so that pairs are within 0.1 g of each other. Centrifuge in IEC HT at 60% setting for 15 min. Discard clear supernatant and scrape paste from tube.
Step-by-Step 1. Obtain a representative sample with 1-2 mm particle size. 2. Add 40 g to a marked, 400 ml beaker. 3. Add distilled water and soak overnight. Rinse to remove soluble salts. 4. Fill to upper mark and stir vigorously. 5. Allow to settle for 3 hrs. and 30 min. Check for evidence of flocculation. 6. Siphon or use syringe to remove suspended material between the 5 cm-apart marks. 7. Repeat steps 3-6 several times and combine suspensions. 8. Centrifuge to concentrate clay-sized material.

This is a beautiful dusky farmyard scene by Belgian artist Eugene Remy Maes, painted in oil on canvas, 15 3/4 x 23 3/4 inches, c. 1890, signed "Th van Sluys"(a pseudonym of Maes') in the lower right corner. An inscription on the back reads "Je soussigné declare aroir pacint le tableau ci contre -Th van Sluys". This painting comes in a remarkable period frame that has been recently regilded. Maes was born in the small village of Puurs, Belgium and moved to Antwerp as a young man. He specialized in images of farm animals, such as this twilight pastoral scene.
Color etching, image size 8 7/8 x 11 7/8 inches, 1937, pencil signed and titled "Burliuk in His Studio 1937".
A fine sketch by Dexter Dawes measuring 10 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches on medium weight drawing paper. A small unfinished sketch of trees is on the reverse. Dawes spent many summers in the Marlboro, NH area drawing and painting the incredible natural beauty that surrounded him.

Score another one for native ads buoyed by social media. LinkedIn is bringing sponsored updates to its primary news feed, calling it a core feature of the company's content-marketing strategy as it strives to become a more prominent publishing platform.
Sponsored Updates are a new ad unit available to marketers and brand managers that run company pages on LinkedIn. Users will begin seeing the ads on desktops, smartphones and tablets alongside the organic posts from people in their network and companies they follow.
"With sponsored updates what we are doing basically is giving them a way to go beyond their followers and increase their distribution," says Gyanda Sachdeva, product manager at LinkedIn. "We expect our members to see more content from these companies, institutions, businesses, and at the same time give our marketers and all these entities a bigger channel to distribute this content and get in front of a professional audience on a mainstream channel like the news feed."
More than three million active company pages will be able to purchase the ads in either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-mille (CPM) based pricing by the end of the month. "In the CPC in particular, we don't charge for social actions. So any virality that happens post that is to the advertiser's credit," adds Sachdeva.
Adobe got in on the action early, with a group of brands selected by LinkedIn for a trial phase. The company issued regular sponsored updates over a two-month stretch aimed at raising the profile of Adobe in the digital marketing space. At the end of the initial campaign, the company learned that at least half of the marketing decisions makers who saw Adobe's ads were more likely to agree that the company is shaping the future of digital marketing, and 79 percent were more likely to agree that Adobe can help optimize media spend.
"We like to think of ourselves as a very social forward company… We probably spend more on digital marketing strategy than most companies, so we're pretty ahead of the game there and social's a big component of that," says Matt Rozen, group manager of corporate social media at Adobe. "LinkedIn has this perfect niche for us as we try to get awareness out of a very important part of our business – our digital marketing solutions business, the Adobe Marketing Cloud. A lot of marketers don't know that we're in this business."
Marketers are already gathering on LinkedIn to talk about digital marketing, Rozen adds. "You can find a bunch of them on Twitter, we can talk news and information sharing on Twitter and that's great. Some of us are on Facebook too but we tend to want to talk about our favorite movies and our favorite foods, our kids and things like that, or politics, so Facebook isn't this super ideal place. But LinkedIn, people who want to talk about marketing are actually going there to do it," comments Rozen.
Adobe used LinkedIn's targeting parameters to deliver its messages to professionals in digital marketing or advertising, members with specific marketing functions, chief marketing officers and creative. "We essentially wanted to reach and engage marketers," he says. "I think there's room for growth in terms of targeting, which LinkedIn would say as well I imagine. There's always room for growth, but it was pretty good."
Rozen says he looks forward to testing sponsored updates as a way to drive conversions or increase the amount of followers Adobe has on LinkedIn.
Sponsored updates may have launched but it is still unclear just how many users will see in their feed. "We are testing many different configurations and it's very early days, so we don't know yet. There is no specific number that we are tied to," says Sachdeva at LinkedIn. The company emphasizes that it and advertisers will learn more and make changes to its algorithms accordingly after the full launch.

Hopwood Hall is a further education vocational college with campuses in both Rochdale and Middleton, North-East of Manchester.
The College, which has a strong track record on innovation and development, was shortlisted in 2015 for a prestigious AoC Beacon Award in the JISC sponsored category for the effective use of Technology in FE. An investment programme in excess of £30million over the last few years has seen the complete remodelling of the Rochdale site and a new Technology Centre at Middleton.
In order to keep its technologies and teaching methods at the leading edge, Hopwood Hall was seeking a partnership with a provider of a cloud-based learning platform capable of supporting its teachers and students across a huge range of courses and levels, from Accounting to Uniformed Public Services, Art & Design to Plastering.
As part of its mission, Hopwood Hall College is committed to a clear objective under the heading "eLearning Vision"
"To create a culture of innovation and creativity that delivers high quality, flexible, engaging learning opportunities, one that enriches and enhances the learning experience"
To attain itslearning's Centre of Excellence status a series of demanding accreditation criteria was met by Hopwood Hall College, based upon its declared education goals.
These included the following:-
Hopwood Hall College, through a dedicated team comprising a Head of eLearning, a VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) co-ordinator, eLearning coaches and a content development team, now delivers a comprehensive programme which includes:-
In addition to achieving £1.4 million in savings over the last three years, itslearning's collaboration with Hopwood Hall College has helped to drive up learner success rates by 10 percentage points, propelling it into the top quartile of the UK FE sector.
By May 2015 the College was established as having the strongest performance in the Greater Manchester area and it now sits in third place nationally for vocational performance at Key Stage 5.
As the UK's first fully accredited itslearning eLearning Centre of Excellence, Hopwood Hall College will host 3 events during the academic year for other colleges and private sector providers to showcase the benefits of the collaboration and introduce others to the programme.
"Listening to our learners is often the key to success and that's exactly what we did before choosing itslearning to work with. Students' ambition and increasingly sophisticated demands are reflected by itslearning's own approach which sets a very high standard that our College will match. We are delighted to have been chosen as the first UK eLearning Centre of Excellence by itslearning"
Derek O'Toole, Principal, Hopwood Hall College
"Our choice of Hopwood Hall College has been based on its outstanding track record and absolute commitment to deliver the best outcomes for its students and staff using our cloud-based learning solution.
