For two decades, Jeremy Beadle was television's arch prankster, rising to fame in the early 1980s as the chief purveyor of Game for a Laugh's jolly japes and hoaxes, before taking that element to his own programme, Beadle's About. Playing tricks on unsuspecting members of the public revived the format of Candid Camera, a huge hit on television in Britain and the United States during the medium's golden age of the 1950s and 1960s.
In Game for a Laugh (1981-85), Beadle and his original fellow presenters – Henry Kelly, Matthew Kelly and Sarah Kennedy – memorably started the programme by running down the steps from the back of the studio, past the audience, and on to the stage, where they lined up alongside one another on tall stools. Beadle will be best remembered, though, for his antics outside the studio, where he cultivated a reputation as the bearded clown.
One of his earliest stunts was giving a celebrity welcome to a salesman on his arrival on holiday in Palma, complete with flamenco dancers. Another was shocking the fifth-floor office worker who thought her husband was on the other side of town, only to see him peering in at her from the outside of the building, hoisted up on a window cleaner's cradle. As each stunt reached its climax, a smiling Beadle would appear with microphone to record the victim's reaction.
Beadle was to have been only a writer on this "people show", with the public at the centre of the action, but, when big names – reportedly including Terry Wogan and Cilla Black – turned down a presenting role, he was put in front of the cameras. He was the only one of the quartet of hosts to survive the five-year run.
After Game for a Laugh ended, Beadle landed his own shows, the most successful being Beadle's About (1986-96), which ran for 10 series. Introduced with a theme song featuring the lyric "Watch Out, Beadle's About", the programme had none of its forerunner's games-type jokes played on a studio audience. Instead, Beadle's location stunts took centre stage – and became increasingly more daring and cruel. Perhaps it is surprising that only once did a prank backfire badly, when a man who was led to believe that the front of his house had been turned into a lorry park thumped Beadle in the back.
The star found a safer haven back in the studio when he launched another hit series, You've Been Framed! (1990-97), featuring viewers' own humorous moments caught on their camcorders – supposedly unplanned and often involving people falling over or sustaining injury.
However, throughout all this success with ratings-topping programmes that were clearly loved by viewers, Beadle found himself a frequent target of abuse. For years, he was referred to by journalists as "the most hated man on television" and, in 2001, a survey placed him second only to Saddam Hussein as the Most Hated Man in Britain. "The fact that people don't like me has nothing at all to do with me," Beadle once said.
It's because they feel guilty about laughing at the practical jokes I play. So they transfer their guilt on to me. They laugh, they don't like themselves for it and so they blame me . . . What people say about me does hurt. It's a form of bullying. I've never minded criticism, but I hate it when it's personal and abusive.
Jeremy Beadle was born illegitimately in Hackney, east London, in 1948, the son of a national newspaper sports reporter who left Beadle's mother on discovering that she was pregnant. He learned who his father was and later located him but never felt the need to meet. "I honestly felt that it was my mother's business and what right have I got to go prying into that or to disrupt or possibly destroy another person's life," he explained.
Born with Poland's syndrome, which caused him to have a withered right hand, Beadle was brought up on a council estate in Kent by his mother, grandmother and aunt. At school, he was a constant prankster and, at the age of 10, was given three years' probation for stealing a pound note from a teacher's handbag. After being expelled from Orpington Secondary Modern School, he went through a succession of jobs, on a bakery production line and as a hospital porter, messenger for a magazine publisher, lavatory attendant in Germany and fruit picker in Spain. Throughout these, he took every opportunity to play practical jokes.
Returning to Britain, he found a focus for his skills, becoming a street photographer in Brighton, and founding the listings magazine What's On in Brighton. He then worked for a time at Time Out in London. In 1972, he was invited by the North West Arts Association to organise a rock festival in Bickershaw, near Wigan, featuring artists such as the Grateful Dead and Captain Beefheart, and he followed this festival with others.
Spurred on by his childhood fascination for facts, which had developed after his mother gave him The Guinness Book of Records, Beadle contacted the producer of the television game show Celebrity Squares, then presented by Bob Monkhouse, and was hired to write material for the programme. He also supplied the Daily Express's "On This Day" anniversaries column. In the late 1970s, he was given his own phone-in and chat programme, The Beadlebum Show, on the London radio station LBC. After being sacked for being too outrageous, he switched to Capital Radio for Beadle's Odditarium.
Work soon came from all directions. For the BBC, he wrote April Fool (1980), a history of practical jokes hosted by Dave Lee Travis, and wrote and presented The Deceivers (1981), a series about tricksters and cheats in history. He was also hired as a writer on You Must Be Joking (1981), in which Terry Wogan presented comedy games based on hoaxes, spoofs and tall stories.
For ITV, he presented the Saturday-morning children's show Fun Factory (1980), before joining Game for a Laugh in 1981. During that programme's run, he also presented "Today's the Day" (1984), a television version of his Express column, for TV-am's Good Morning Britain breakfast show.
His first solo show was People Do The Funniest Things (1986-87), in which he presented archive material of out-takes, hidden-camera stunts and stars in their earliest screen roles. This overlapped with Beadle's About, which in turn overlapped with Chain Letters (1987-88), a morning quiz show. It seemed that Beadle was hardly off the screen.
Beadle's Hot Shots (1996-97) was a spin-off from You've Been Framed!, and involved viewers' camcorder spoofs of popular films and commercials, but by now the star's popularity was waning. He made a brief comeback in 1999 with the game show Win Beadle's Money, in which contestants battled for a £1,000 prize by beating him over three rounds of general-knowledge questions. But, as work dried up on screen, the star returned to his fascination for obscure facts and, from 2003, wrote the "Beadle's Miscellany" trivia quiz for The Independent Magazine. He was also European editor of The Book of Lists and London editor of The People's Almanac.
He made the headlines in 1998 after helping a friend with motor neurone disease to obtain the details he needed to commit suicide. Six years later, Beadle himself successfully underwent an operation to remove a cancerous kidney, but in 2005 he was diagnosed with leukaemia, ironically having been a fundraiser for the Foundation for Children with Leukaemia. Beadle's biography, Watch Out!, was published in 1998. He married his partner, Sue, in 2004, after 21 years together.

Brida's voice was dead, and her eyes vacantly scanned the contents of her cell. In one hand, she held a small, worn bag, which contained the few belongings she could actually claim for her own. A hair comb. A note from her mother. A small gemstone that had been passed down through the generations, given to her by her father. A rag doll with black button eyes and brown yarn for hair, the only doll she'd ever owned. All these things had been locked away in the warden's office, and it was the first time Brida had seen them, since she had arrived at the asylum.
The warden rapped gently on the wall beside Brida's open cell. Vaguely, Brida heard the knocking. It sounded like a death knoll. Once, twice, three times. Only when the warden called out softly, "Brida?" did she jolt herself to the present.
"Brida, it's time for you to say goodbye."
Brida's voice was dead, as though someone had reached into her throat and pulled out any ability to speak. Tongue moving in vain, she tried to form words, but she found she was unable to do anything but let her eyes rest in a comfortable stare on the wall ahead of her.
I should be feeling something. I should be feeling something about this - anything! Why do I feel so numb?
"Brida, please, it's time to go now. Bring your belongings, and we'll head out. Is there anyone you want to say goodbye to?"
Something welled within Brida, a roiling emotion that she could not name. Feeling the emotion at the tips of her fingers and the pit of her stomach, she turned to face the warden. "Shale," she said, and the rich, throaty sound of her strained voice brought her back to her senses. "I want to say goodbye to Shale." Before you take me to my "adoptive family." Before you tear me away from the only person who actually meant something to me. Before you take me away from this place that I hate but that makes me feel safe, I want to say goodbye to Shale.
"That can be arranged," the warden replied, clearly thankful that Brida had broken from her silent reverie. "Come this way; you can say goodbye to your friend."
The emotion singed Brida's mind and tickled her heart. It would only be a matter of time before it broke loose and hailed hell. But until then, Brida would have to bide her time. She would only let the fire fall when it was an appropriate time.
She had not discussed it with Shale, but it was her only choice left. Either burn the asylum and free Shale, or let her hope of a future be the one to go up in flames. And it would not be the latter.

A country that isn't democratic faces the foundational challenge of inculcating the democratic government in their country. However, that doesn't mean a country which already has an established democracy is barred from challenges, because a democratic nation faces challenges too. The two major challenges then are – Challenge of Expansion and Deepening of Democracy.
While challenges of Democracy means India still has to thrive hard in applying the basics of democracy to empower people across different region and section of societies, deepening of democracy only means strengthening democracy by revolutionizing things. The recent passed Right to Information Act (RTI) is the perfect example for it. Deepening of democracy will always be a challenge because as time passes, people will have different expectations from democracy. However, this doesn't imply that India as a democratic nation failed earlier, but proves how with each passing year, it empowers people to expect more from the existing democratic India.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been taking this initiative by trying to intensify democracy. How? Well by interacting and reaching out to various sections of people in different parts of India, he is actually following the path of expansion. What is worth noticing is that, he is not just including the biggies of his party but each and every person of this nation. From women (by seeking their advice in an all Mahila meeting in Bhopal), to people working in unorganized sectors such as laborers, street vendors to young entrepreneurs (Rahul Gandhi in Bangalore invited all the young entrepreneurs to share their ideas), Rahul Gandhi as a soldier of INC and India is trying to involve people at very stage.
In addition, Rahul Gandhi and Indian National Congress has now started an initiative – A Billion Ideas where they urge people especially writers and bloggers, yes you heard it right – BLOGGERS to come and share their idea for a bigger, better and brighter India.
A Billion ideas – An Initiative by Indian National Congress is set to reach all the major towns and cities where bloggers will come and share their ideas on different topics which is a common concern for India. Starting from Mumbai, this event is set to role in every city where bloggers of different age group will assemble, discuss and share their ideas on topics which are a common concern or let's say hurdle in India's path towards progress.
Now that I attended this meet yesterday in Mumbai and was a part of this initiative, I thought of sharing my experience here on IndiaOpines so that majority of my readers and fellow bloggers know what this initiative is all about. I along with 29 other fellow bloggers in and around Mumbai were given an opportunity to speak our ideas on topics that somewhere down is very close to our heart. There were 4 topics which the bloggers mainly shared their ideas on –
- Women Empowerment at domestic as well as other level
- Retaining secular fabric of our nation
- Harnessing potential of youth for innovation and
- Bringing transparency at every level of government
Attended by Congress Spokesperson Rahul Pandey and Priyanka Chaturvedi who coincidently also happens to be a blogger appeared more as a fellow blogger than a Congress spokesperson. She and Rahul were not seen promoting their party unlike other political leaders, instead, where more inclined towards our ideas. For a change, I could feel I am the speaker and not the political party leaders.
This initiative by Indian National Congress shows that they believe in mass movements wherein they are ready to listen, hear and seek advice and ideas of aam junta unlike others who believe more on imposing than hearing. While, some of you might think this was a Political gimmick, I would say the least the Congress is asking ideas and not donations unlike others. Besides, how about giving ideas to a party that wants you to be a part of a progressive nation rather than sitting and cribbing of change. Isn't this initiative significant even if comes a bit late (as many of my fellow bloggers mentioned it)?
All I would say, it is a right step at right time to empower the aam aadmi so that even he/she has a say in tomorrow's manifesto for the country. By involving the people and empowering them, the age old party proves in a way that no matter whoever comes and claims big they are here to bond and unite different fragments of people intensely and move ahead in their endeavor to see a bigger, brighter and better India!

Humanitarian Financing: Investing In The Future Of Aid Delivery
By Nicolas Moyer
This post is the seventh of a seven-part series on the themes of the High-Level Leaders' Roundtables at the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit, to be held May 23-24 in Istanbul, Turkey.
The global humanitarian system is failing at the same time as it has also never been better equipped to respond to emergencies and crises. There are countless aid organizations and hundreds of thousands of experienced and dedicated humanitarian aid workers helping the most vulnerable around the globe.
The UN Secretary General, in a recent report for the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) titled "One Humanity, Shared Responsibility," acknowledges that "the international aid system has not kept pace" with the changing landscape.
Protracted conflict, climate change, urbanization and inequality are increasingly interconnected. Disasters are more frequent, less predictable and affect larger populations. The world hasn't seen this level of population displacement and suffering since the Second World War, and the international community appears powerless to prevent this. While global humanitarian responses work relatively well for natural catastrophes, these consistently fail to meet the needs of civilians in complex emergencies and conflicts or to react to early warnings of pending droughts.
Even in Canada, the system remains tied to outdated processes, in terms of cooperation, fundraising and aid delivery.
Perhaps the most difficult issue to resolve is the chronic financing needs of a resource-starved humanitarian system dependent on a series of never-ending emergency appeal -- appeals that are systematically underfunded by bilateral donors who cannot meet the high demands on their coffers.
In advance of the WHS, a High Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing was formed. In January this panel, which included Walt MacNee, a Canadian and Queen's university alumni, released the report "Too important to fail -- addressing the humanitarian financing gap," which lays out three big areas for necessary improvements. To paraphrase:
1) Shrinking the needs - through early response, political solutions to conflicts, disaster risk reduction and blending of development and humanitarian funding for protracted crises.
2) Deepening and broadening the resource base - through new forms of financing (ex. a "solidarity levy"), better recognition of new donors, harnessing the engagement of the business community (in financial services, insurance, networks), Islamic finance, media and NGO partnerships to raise private donations and new crowdsourcing technologies.
3) A Grand Bargain on efficiency - through improving synergies, reducing red tape, reducing duplications of administrative and management costs (among UN agencies and NGOs), transparency, reduced administrative/reporting burdens, more direct assistance to local NGOs and more use of cash programming.
While straightforward and feasible, each proposal requires a break with the status quo -- a status quo that includes profoundly perverse contradictions; as outlined in ODI's report entitled "Time to Let Go."
Not least among these contradictions are leadership incentives that prioritize revenue growth over program impact and pit NGOs and UN agencies in competition with each other for resources. Too much investment by our sector goes into wasteful duplication like this.
Unprecedented solutions must be conceived and piloted if we are to have greater impact as we confront growing needs with stagnating revenues. For as one Canadian expat recently pointed out to senior Canadian humanitarian leaders, "globally, humanity spends more on bubble gum than on humanitarian assistance." Unfortunately that doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon, so it is incumbent on us to do more with what resources we do have and work together to access more resources.
The WHS, and the openness proffered by the new Liberal government, provides an opportunity for the Canadian humanitarian sector to trial new ways of doing business. We should wake up to the potential of joint action to mobilize the resources of the private sector, greater support of media corporations for public engagement and, perhaps more importantly, to propose new humanitarian funding infrastructure for NGOs.
The Humanitarian Coalition is the biggest Canadian humanitarian funding evolution in the last decade, leading to joint appeals, partnerships with broadcasters and an NGO-led Global Affairs Canada-funded humanitarian funding mechanism: the Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund (CHAF). However, even this progress is tiny in contrast with the challenges that remain. This is why in 2016, we are trying something entirely new: a multi-agency open-participation campaign for World Refugee Day. Through this we seek new benefits of collaboration to mobilize Canadians and build tools to help us fundraise for complex and protracted crises. We will learn much with this, but it also not enough.
It is time and the conditions are right for a "New Deal on Canadian humanitarian financing." We can build the humanitarian infrastructure of the future. The drive for that must come from the NGO community, which to be successful must put on-the-ground-impact ahead of agency-specific revenue targets.
Nicolas Moyer is Executive Director of the Humanitarian Coalition.

The plight of Syrians besieged in the town of Madaya prompted an international humanitarian response (AP Photo) Hunger, starvation, and extreme malnourishment present existential threats to millions of Syria's most vulnerable people. The young, the elderly, and the infirm are all particularly susceptible to the effects of malnutrition, which can stunt the growth of children, and exacerbate chronic medical conditions. Unicef deputy director Lily Caprani told HuffPost UK about the effects long-term malnourishment are having as the Syrian conflict enters its fifth year. She said: "There's hunger in the short term, and then malnutrition over the longer term severely and in some cases irreversibly damages children's development, so a child who at the age of two or three is undernourished can physical stop growing. "Unfortunately there are some cases where that cannot be undone. We're trying to stop getting it to that stage." Unicef continues to work in Syria, and it estimates it has helped the majority of those who need help in accessible areas. That still leaves as many as two million out of reach of aid, however. Towns which are besieged by fighting are particularly difficult to access. In one example, the situation in the Syrian town of Madaya, north west of Damascus, had become so dire that the UN estimated 400 residents needed to be immediately evacuated to receive life-saving treatment. Their conditions related to extreme malnourishment and starvation, as well as medical conditions.
Syrian boys play with snow following a storm in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on January 5 Exposure to the elements is become a concern for aid agencies operating in and around Syria. Harsh winters bring snow, ice, and chilling winds - making for harrowing conditions in houses lacking electricity and the refugee camps bordering on vast, desolate landscapes. "One of the key things we worry about every year in that on top of everything else, we now have extreme cold," Lily Caprani of Unicef UK says, "Although we're doing everything we can to them, they're living in tents, in containers." The organisation is leading a campaign to keep children warm this winter with hats, gloves and scalfs. "Many of the refugees in... countries such as Jordan and Lebanon live in terrible conditions and are struggling to find warmth as temperatures fall," Robert Mardini, director for the Near and Middle East with the International Committee of the Red Cross, told Al Jazeera. "They live with the uncertainty of not knowing what tomorrow will bring, or even if they will ever make it back home one day."
Syrians searching for survivors in the rubble of destroyed buildings following the barrel bomb-attacks of Syrian air forces on February 2, 2014, in Aleppo, Syria. Barrel bombs continue to plague Syrian cities. The improvised devices are thrown from transport helicopters, without the ability to hit specific targets. According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, the number of civilains killed by Syrian regime barrel bombs outnumbers those slain by the so-called Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Jeremy Binnie, Middle East editor for IHS Jane's Defence Weekly, told HuffPost UK that the bombs were developed due to either a lack of weaponry or aircraft around a year or so into the current conflict. He said: "While early ones appeared to be similar in size to oil barrels, the ones that have been seen generally have a smaller diameter. "They were first seen in the summer of 2012. "They are a way of turning the Syrian air force's Mi-8/17 helicopters into attack aircraft as the improvised bombs can be rolled out the rear cargo doors." "The bombs are capable of destroying buildings and killing people, but almost certainly have less explosive power than mass-produced aircraft bombs of similar size."
A Russian bomber drops bombs on a target. Russia has unleashed another barrage of airstrikes against targets in Syria Airstrikes from foreign forces continue to pose a threat to civilian life - however unintended this may be. In December, at least 26 people were believed to have been killed following US-led airstrikes attacking suspected Isis positions. The Guardian reported Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as saying Isis is in control of Al-Khan but is only on its outskirts, "which is why all of the deaths were civilians". The US military command said it was investigating the claims. Britain's Royal Air Force, which received Parliamentary authority to commence airstrikes last year, says it is able to say no civilians have died as a result of its recent airstrikes in Syria which are planned meticulously to prevent collateral damage.
A health worker marks the thumb of a Syrian child after giving him polio vaccine (File Photo) Dirty water and the resulting disease pose a continued threat to Syrians living in increasingly unsanitary conditions. Unicef is one of a number of aid agencies working to mitigate the risks, but even it admits that millions of Syrian children and adults who continue to be at risk in areas that cannot be easily reached. While the threat continues to be high - disease is one of the areas of success for agencies trying hard to prevent a public health disaster dovetailing with the fierce conflict. Lily Caprani of Unicef told HuffPost UK: "We're making sure children and the vulnerable are immunized against waterborne disease, because we know they are going to be exposed to disease so we make sure they're going to be protected. "This can help prevent a public health disaster. One of the very few pieces of good news is that you would expect the resurgence of disease and infections we would normally not see. "But because we've managed to immunize we've prevented this. There have been no new cases of polio since January 2014 and that's short of a miracle. "It's relatively cheap to do - it doesn't cost a lot of money and it prevents the snowball effect of a public health emergency." Nonetheless, the shocking state of health uncovered at the besieged town of Madaya in January points towards localised medical emergencies being commonplace in some areas in the country.
A visitor looks at photographs in the 'Caesar's Photos: Inside Syria's Secret Prisons', a collection of photographs smuggled out of Syria last year Torture and execution remain a threat to civilian life throughout Syria, with hundreds allegedly killed at the hands of President Assad's regime alone. Syria has systematically tortured and executed 11,000 of its citizens in the three-year war, according to a report by former war crimes prosecutors, who compared the bodies they saw to images of Nazi death camp victims. Meanwhile the so-called Islamic State has been adept at publicising its regime's torture and execution, even publishing reports in its own magazine, with countless Syrians and scores of foreigners killed in the now signature orange jumpsuits. In January, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights reported that an Islamic State militant executed his own mother, after she encouraged him to leave the terror group.
Violence and exploitation resulting from the break down of Syrian society present a real threat to the lives of adults and children alike, whilst kidnapping remains a tactic of fear used by militants. There are countless examples of violence between warring factions spilling over into civilian communities, wounding and killing innocent people. Unicef's experience of conflict emergencies across the world has led it to the conclusion that education can protect children from violence and exploitation. Lily Caprani, UK deputy director, told HuffPost UK: "If children are in education, they're in a safe space. If children are in a safe environment with safe people, the risks of violence and exploitation are lower. "This protects children from adults who might not have their best interests at heart." Kidnapping by Islamic State militants continues to present a real threat to civilian life. Last year, hundreds of innocent people were taken by the group amid mounting international calls for the release of those abducted.

small beach town who's population literally doubles in the summer time. Used to be called Marshvegas for the horseraces at the fair - now it's more because of the lights that never turn off in the center. Not to mention all of the drama that goes on - but what happens in Vegas NEVER stays in Vegas. Lots of partying due since there's nothing else to do - except when the Marshfield Fair is in town, and then we all get drunk and go there.

Small beach town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, recently experiencing unwelcomed suburban retail development. Coined "Marshvegas" in the early 1980's by high school kids who appreciated irony (based on the lack of in-town entertainment, and a ridiculous ban on video games). The majority of Marshfield High grads go to college (UMass Amherst, Bentley, and Boston College rank among their top picks). A fine town in which to live, if you can afford it.

Contemporary World Cinema: Israeli Short Films
Bathe in the glow of two life-affirming short works by Israeli filmmaker/actor Pini Tavger at Contemporary World Cinema: Israeli Short Films at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. With painterly, clear compositions and an infectious, cheek-pinching performance by youngster Anthony Berman in the title role, Pinchas (2008) deftly tells a heartwarming tale of Russian immigrants, mom and young son, newly arrived from the motherland. While hardworking mom finds solace in the arms of a married man, Pinchas finds his with a religious family upstairs. 10 Weitzman Street (2006), a comic little gem that Charlie Chaplin would have loved to claim, finds Russian immigrants dad, mom and daughter, who desperately needs to pee, trudging through Tel Aviv looking for their new house. In 13 minutes, these indomitable immigrants lose their luggage and their tempers, live through a gas attack and pee on the floor. It's a delight! Filmmaker Tavger will answer questions after the screening. 7 p.m. 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-639-7515 or visit www.mfah.org/films. Free.

text: Searching Google for Seresto Flea collars for cats I came across this posting back in 2012. I sympathise with the cat owners and hope that their two cats recovered from their allergic reation to Seresto. My own cat suffers a huge allergic reaction to flea bites, which results in constant scratching of his back, the fur becoming coarse and falling out, and extensive scabbing. We tried all of the proprietory flea treatments but without any real success. Then in 2008 we moved to France and during one of his flare ups we took him to a local vet, who recommended a Seresto Flea Collar. Since that day he has had no further problems and is not bothered by the wearing oif the collar. I noted a further post whci recommended never, never, never put a flea collar on a cat. I am convinced that this collar, replaced every 6 - 8 months has saved my 21 year old cat from a life of misery.

I am a game designer, and I would like to ask about good Architecture books to learn the basics of desing.
I am looking for basic theory and concepts, like the elements to design the interior of a building with specific function.
Also I am interested in the history and philosophy of ancient architecture. I found this book: A Global History of Architecture. they say it is global and I really need a book featuring many civilizations and cultures, don't know if this book is the one or if there any others like it/better.
Also understanding how to analyze buildings will be very helpful.
Thank you :)
Bill Addis. 3000 Years of Building (whatever it's officially called).
Before you start reading histories of architecture, you need to understand basic design strategy. I recommend Frank Ching's 'Architecture: Form, Space, Order".
It's been said a hours and times over. For basic design, Ching is the man
The first architectural book I ever got was Building Construction Illustrated(Ch'ing). I found it to be a more practical approach to architecture and design. Hope it helps.

This OSS was released to describe newly offered pipe mill qualification service by DNV. Subject service is mainly based on the requirements to line-pipe manufacture outlined in the "Submarine pipeline systems" specification by this Society; qualification of the coating application may also be conducted as per the same principles with the DNV-OS-RP-F106 used for reference.
The key deliverable in the case of pipe mill and coating yard qualification is a SoC, i.e. Statement of Compliance, that is issued upon satisfactory completion of the whole qualification program. It will be valid of the date of its issuance, and will list all parameters defining the qualification scope. The verification report summarizing all DNV activities, will also be issued. It will contain the conclusion - whether the qualification was successful or not. In addition to that, this Class Society will issue a general statement of the mill/yard and the qualification project.
The today's marker for offshore pipelines requires exceptional quality. Such level of quality is set by the leading industry standards, such as the one issued by DNV, namely DNV-OS-F101. We provide excellent solutions to assist the pipe mills in proper documenting that the products manufactured by them fully meet the DNV-OS-F101 requirements.

text: Without even thinking I ran. I ran as fast as I could. Until I realized, I was trying to run in bright yellow rainboots. Not only were they slowing me down, but they were also making really loud thumping noises everytime I hit the ground. Unsure what to do, I stopped to look for a good hiding place. I'd made it to the front of Bancroft and ran to the door. As soon as I hit the smooth brick of the porch, I was down. And then it all faded into darkness.

Perplexing Information (Part 1)Mature
For the next three days, Sarah had a routine; market in the morning with the Sergeant's wives, fix lunch, work in the garden, fix dinner. On the fourth morning, however, Jason informed her that the Sergeant's meeting was at last going into session.
"I do not know exactly when I will be home," he sighed. "Like as not late, given the state of things. I do hope to be home for dinner."
"Well, let me know if you can." Sarah smiled and kissed him before shooing him out the door.
She declined going to market though Jennifer and Jessica did.
"Good time to go shopping for yourself you know," Jessica giggled.
Sarah smiled. "I think I'm good here. There's a lot of work to do in the garden anyway."
Waving them off, Sarah walked through her house to do as she'd said. She wondered if she should have gone to market to see if she could find some gardening tools. A small hoe and trowel would be nice. Still she made the hoe and shovel she had work. Around noon she washed up and munched on bread and cheese.
After lunch she spent a few more hours in the garden. Finally, satisfied that it was as good as she was going to get it before winter, Sarah went back inside. As she washed up and began rummaging for dinner she felt Jason was nearing. Apprehensive, she watched as he walked in the back door. He was agitated.
"Meeting not go well?" she asked as he disappeared into the root cellar.
"Yes and no," he called up to her. "Hand me two mugs would you?"
Sarah complied. Curious, she stood at the top of the cellar stairs and Jason handed up the mugs filled with ale. As soon as he closed the cellar door, she handed a mug back to him.
"That bad?"
"A toast," Jason held up his glass, "to being the best and all the work that goes with it."
Sarah clinked her mug against his and took a long draught. Jason downed his in one go.
"So Phoenix troop is going back out despite the promised rest?" she surmised.
"Yes," he sighed and looked at her, "and it seems you will be joining us." He looked about. "What is for dinner?"
"Well," Sarah sat her mug down, "I had just started thinking about it when you came home." She sighed. "Do you have any idea what you want tonight?"
"Something that tastes good and will feed eleven."
"Eleven?" Sarah asked.
"That is what I was told."
Sarah blinked at Jason. He did not look like he was in a mood to be questioned about it. Swallowing her curiosity, she quickly finished her ale and looked about.
"Well we'd best get busy then. I don't suppose you'd be willing to run to market while I get everything else going would you?"
"Did you not go this morning?" He sighed.
"No, I thought I'd work in the garden today." She looked at him perplexed. He was clearly trouble by something.
"So, no meat?"
"No meat."
"But you were going to make something without meat?"
"And without bread," Sarah informed him. "But if I'm going to feed eleven, and I hope that includes us, then perhaps there should be." She watched Jason's face as he clearly struggled with emotions. "Look," she said at last, "something is very obviously bothering you." He looked slightly startled at her. "So either you walk it off going to market or you tell me about it."

I am not a review writer usually but I have to let the world know about this miracle drug, I had cystic acne on my face, neck, shoulders, Nd back. I have never been able to wear a tank top, or bathing suit and my hair with no makeup for 7 years,Girls suffering from acne severe as mine was understn what I mean.HIGHLY RECOMMEND ACCUTANE! I'm not even done my 120 day course yet and I could almost cry right now talking about how great I feel now. I think the trick to avoiding all those serious side effects is sticking to a lower dosage. I'm on 30mg a day and it took 3 1/2 months ( BE STRONG PEOPLE IT TAKES TIME) and I can officially say I am acne free all over for the first time In 7 years. I wish I could be some sort of motivational speaker for this stuff. If you are thinking about it DO IT! Just stick to a small dosage for the first 4 months. Down side is the dry patches on my arms and cracked lips, the only thing that works is Vaseline. And another upside to it is my hair! It never gets oily! I can't even use oil blotters on my skin anymore, used to fill up 3 at once (nasty)

The cottage was in a beautiful location and had been very well prepared for our arrival late in the day, with refreshments and fresh flowers etc. The member of staff we met was very friendly and welcoming a few days later, and checked everything was OK. The visitor's book was very helpful in choosing places to visit & eat. We really enjoyed staying at Quin Cottage & will try to repeat the experience, either here or in another NT Cottage in the future. Thank you!
The cottage was beautifully clean and well appointed. We loved every minute of our stay.
Quin cottage was stylish and immaculate. High quality everything. It was also in a beautiful and quiet location with such easy access to beautiful walks. Also liked the very large bed. Some of the cottages have standard doubles which seem a bit small these days. We met Vivienne Procter, the caretaker and she was very nice and helpful. She even found my mobile phone on a piece of grass near the cottage and tracked me down and sent it home.
The location was really special. Very quiet and peaceful. Very high standard and a lovely greeting with the tea and biscuits and note - simple but personal and welcoming. These things matter. I had a chat with Viv who looks after the property and it was obvious a great deal of her care goes into it The cottage made us feel like it was ours for a week and we were sad to leave. Happy to pay the price as it was part of the National Trust
We welcome your views on Quin Cottage and these can be provided via our online survey.

A Name is A Powerful Thing
She called herself Pandora. And then asked his name. Did she realise the importance of a name?! Konrad was on the verge of telling her, he instinctively trusted her, but he stopped it rolling off his tiny, pink tongue.
A name is a powerful thing, Pandora. I know too many people who have used it to weaken me. He didn't add that one of those was tracking him even now. She came from a long line of Hunters. A long line of hunters, all of who hated him. He didn't need to worry her. Despite the fact that she was in danger just by being with him. Everyone in the airport was in danger because of him.
Not knowing a true name is sometimes the better option. It limits the power that you can give others. However, call me Konrad. It's my favourite of my alter-egos. Never before had he given advice like that. He thought that people should find out things for themselves. He liked her. It was instinctive. He still needed to know what she was, though.
I have to know... What ARE you? I've never met someone like you before...
Unfortunately, at that moment, he saw the demon again, still searching for him. He hid, and hated that he did so. In the days of old, he would have transformed into a bear or wolf and banished the thing to the deepest reaches of the place it called home. Now, he was forced to stay as a mouse, hiding, keeping the attention off him.

If a spiceworks ticket is created after 5pm and it has tag or keyword of URGENT then I'd like spiceworks to send an email of that ticket to a certain email address(which is an on-call email address). This would trigger a call out by our on-call system.
How do I setup spiceworks to send out those type urgent emails to a certain email address after 5pm?

Solid Dental Advice Meaning You Can Improve Your Teeth
Of course you want to produce white teeth and have extraordinary smile. Of the many ways how to whiten teeth, there are those that work, and some which do not.
Do not share your dental kit with anyone else - This is one very sound recommendations caused by
dentist newsletter service
. It isn't right to share your toothbrush, floss or maybe tongue cleaner with others. Maintaining your individual kit and too new one is of utmost importance.
Well. we still let our fingers do the walking, except nowadays, subjected to testing no longer walking the Yellow Feuille. Instead, they do their walking close to keyboard when he check out what occurs on Google. Isn't that what yours do a lot?
I didn't find the concept much not equivalent to the old fashioned poor mans method, of taking index finger on left hand, and taking pointer finger on right hand, contact sides of pimple, and squeeze.
When really pulp which is the central area of the tooth gets inflamed, supplying toothache occurs and this is why you suffer from dental predicaments.The fact that the nerve ending are obtained from this area makes them highly receptive. Tooth infection, dental cavities, cracked tooth or tooth rot, is the source cause of a pain.
A study made through the American Academy of Cosmetic dentistry in 1998 showed that 85% of adults find people with unattractive smile less attracting the opposite sex. On the reverse side, majority of us survey testified that people with great smile tend to be attractive. In order to make yourself more appealing, better trigger on that great smile of yours and commence getting time!
Sometimes a toothache is cause by food that has been kept in between pearly whites and not surprisingly this might need flossing. Only one be this type of relief to your pain when food trapped has been removed. When you have a toothache caused by trapped food it is probably you may have sensitive nicotine gums. Suffering with trapped foods is not good while you can just floss slowly and prevent irritating your gum more than it already is.

Michael Johnson, of whom the same question has long been asked, effected the transition by winning the Olympic 200-400 metres double in his home country last summer - even if the events of 1997 have dimmed his star's lustre.
While the American's achievements in Atlanta were widely celebrated, those of the Canadian - an Olympic 100m title in a world record time of 9.84sec - remained relatively unsung.
But since he ran clear of the injured Johnson over 150 metres in Toronto on 1 June, earning himself $1.5 million (pounds 925,000) in the process, Bailey's fortunes have risen in inverse proportion to those of the double Olympic gold medallist.
Johnson has failed to regain form following the quadricep injury which halted him half-way through the self-styled One-To-One Challenge, and his poor showing in Paris on Wednesday night, when he lost his eight-year unbeaten record over 400m, caused him to make an early return home from Europe.
Bailey has since run 9.94sec in Nuremburg, and his winning time of 10.07sec in the rainswept Paris meeting indicates he is a clear favourite to win his latest 150m challenge at Sheffield tomorrow against a domestic field headed by Linford Christie.
The financial incentive of tomorrow's Securicor Challenge - a winner- takes-all figure of pounds 50,000 - is relatively slight for a man whose last 150m race was worth pounds 10,000 per metre.
But Britain's finest will be hard pushed to prevent the 29-year-old world and Olympic champion adding to his bank balance.
Bailey is predicting that he will better his world record this season - "I know I am very capable of running faster than I did last year" - and you would be foolish to bet against it.
Christie has won his two previous meetings with Bailey over Sunday's distance in Sheffield but Bailey predicted a different result this time: "I'm in better shape than before," he said. "I'm faster and stronger and lighter - I'm about 8lb down on this time last year."
There are marked similarities between Christie and Bailey - both were born in Jamaica and spent their early childhoods there before emigrating; both were relative latecomers to top level sprinting.
Christie did not win his first major title until he was 26; Bailey did not even break 11 seconds for 100m until he was 23. Having taken up the sport seriously in 1993, however, he has improved his time every year.
When Bailey decided to give up his lucrative career as a marketing and property consultant to concentrate on his running, he approached it as if it were another line of business, leaving his girlfriend, Michelle Mullin, and baby daughter, Adrienna, behind in Oakville in order to train with his present coach, Dan Pfaff, at Louisiana State University.
"I basically took it on as a job," he said. "I was going to work really hard in '94 and see where it took me."
It took him to Gothenburg, where he took the world title off Christie; then to Atlanta, where he defeated the pre-race favourites, Ato Boldon and Frankie Fredericks.
If star status needs to be bedded in achievement, Bailey has what is required. He is a quirky, intelligent individual. And while he has a background in marketing and a meticulous approach in common with Johnson, there is a twinkle to him which is absent from the American. At times, you can sense him delighting in stirring up mischief.
Last year, for instance, he smiled broadly at a press conference in London as he contended that Linford Christie had faked injury in the previous year's World Championship final.
He levelled the same accusation against Johnson in Toronto, clearly offending the American with the brutal directness of his accusation - "he knew he was going to get hammered after the first 30 metres."
The effect was not mitigated by the subsequent, diplomatic statement from the Bailey camping wishing Johnson a speedy recovery from his injury.
Johnson may still argue that that unofficial title of world's fastest man is undecided, given that he failed to last the course in Canada.
Bailey also appears to have gone back on his immediate dismissal of any re-match with Johnson - yesterday his agent, Ray Flynn, said he was "totally serious" in proposing a re-match later this year in a Las Vegas parking lot.
"There has been a great deal of interest shown in a rematch and I think the people supporting Michael Johnson would be very keen on another race as their man did not do himself justice in Toronto," Flynn said. "You can lay a Mondo strip of track anywhere and if the money was right, a parking lot at one of the big Las Vegas hotels could be the ideal place to stage the race."
Yesterday, Bailey dropped another contentious comment into the conversation when he put forward the case for Christie re-thinking his decision not to compete in this summer's world championships.
"Linford is still fast enough and consistent enough to be there," Bailey said. "He comes out and puts in the performances year after year. You have to respect the guy's decision, but I think he should finish his career at the World Championships.
"People go on about his age but Linford never shows it. Don't expect me to be still running at 37 - I'll be playing golf or something.
"One day I'll decide that's it. I'll give this thing the biggest shot possible and then I'll walk off. It won't be in 10 years or eight years' time - it will be less than that."
The story goes that soon after his Olympic victory, Bailey was refused entry to a Toronto nightclub. "Don't you recognise who I am?" he asked.
The case is altered for him now - certainly in his home country. After his win over Johnson on the eve of Canada's general election, the front page headline on the Toronto Sun newspaper read: Bailey for Prime Minister.
With Johnson absent from this summer's world championships - unless a late and unprecedented wild card should be produced by the international federation - Bailey has the chance to run the show himself. The chances are he will revel in it.

-✧-Chapter 2-✧-
The familiar tinkle of a bell enchanted the silence as I entered the cool air conditioning, a safe haven from the moist heat outside. I breathed in the scent of flour as I scanned the warm welcome of the cream yellow walls. Home. Well not exactly. Alessandra's Baked Goods it was called; christened after my middle name and Italian grandmother by my mom. I remember how mom had insisted on painting the room yellow---a happy color, she said. Strange sense the only reason we needed this place was because of my father. A thin strip of yellow and black flor da lee patterned wallpaper circumferenced the room. Three pairs of small, simple booths lined up on the left wall, the right a screen of glass. A youthful-looking brunette stood behind the counter display of sugar frosted beignets, gooey trays of king cakes, Louisiana crunch cakes and many other Louisianan delicacies. She affectionately rubbed her inflated belly, which was covered by a royal blue apron.
"Caitlin? I thought you were working tomorrows night shift." I asked puzzled, as I stood awkwardly in the middle of the room.
"Yes well, your friend Elisabeth showed up insisting on baking and having me work out here to wait for you---thinks baking's too much for me---sweet girl." she added.
I could feel the color drain from my face.
And the most likely person to cause death-by-beignet. I though darkly as I swiftly marched passed her through the swinging doors. In the kitchen was a disaster. Right when I had planted my foot on the ground, I nearly fell on my face from stepping on a run-away egg yolk. I grabbed on to an unexpected Liz's shoulder to catch my fall in the knick of time. Consequently, she tumbled down and whatever horribly intoxicating concoction Liz had been whipping up went flying everywhere---the hand-held electric blender still whirring like a savage animal.
After I leaped up to switch off the blender, I laughed---a rare occurrence for me.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I am so sorry Trinity!"
"Are you kidding?" I bellowed with laughter. "If anything it's my fault, I just pushed you to the floor!"
I took in the scene of Elisabeth's batter-coated hair and the splatters of whatever she was trying to make all over the floor, walls, wooden cabinets and even the ceiling. This caused me to guffaw even more. Only the amazing Elisabeth could pull off a stunt like that. My outfit wasn't given any mercy either--- my favorite blue jeans had tan, gooey splotches.

I think that it could work to my advantage because it means that you don't have to deal with other peoples habits when shooting me. I guess that i'm a virgin when it comes to that but I photo well and that's all that it comes down to at the end of the day.
