We EXCLUSIVELY got in touch with Jhanvi and here's what she had to say..
So the buzz that's got everyone talking right now is that Sridevi's elder daughter Jhanvi Kapoor has rejected a Mahesh Babu film. Yes! According to reports, director AR Murugadoss was keen on launching Jhanvi with Mahesh Babu and even got a go ahead from Jhanvi's parents Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. But Jhanvi didn't approve of the same coz turns out she still thinks she is not ready for her big screen debut.
While everyone has been discussing about Jhanvi rejecting Mahesh Babu. BollywoodLife exclusively got in touch with Jhanvi to know what's the real story and her reaction is quite confusing. She sounded totally unsure about what to say and what not to, as she replied, "I dunno. Please talk to mom or dad." On further being probed if she is planning to make her Bollywood debut with any other film, she added, "I really dunno what to say and whether I am supposed to talk about anything or no right now."
Also read: Sridevi non-committal about Jhanvi's Bollywood debut!
Clearly, Jhanvi must have been asked to remain tight lipped about her plans to step into the industry and we don't blame her. Coz obviously, Sridevi and Boney would want to make a grand announcement about their daughter's debut, whether in Bollywood or Tollywood. Not to forget, Jhanvi is currently also busy taking her acting classes at Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in Los Angeles.
Let's see what's in store for this star in the making. What are your thoughts? Tell us in the comments below and we'll be back with more updates right here, only on BollywoodLife.

Using a slumping economic climate, expenditure of money is scrutinized with miniscule detail in an attempt to stretch the dollar still additional, purchasing a lot more for a lot less. With additional recognition to your growing expense of electrical power, individuals continue on to search for bargains, including dehumidifiers with Strength Star rated performance and prospective rebate offerings from companies or utility firms within an work to extend the dollar.
The controversy on which dehumidifier would be the greatest a person to acquire has ongoing for lots of years and will go on for a lot of years to come. With repetitive bombardment of advertising and marketing in the media and nationally identified retail outlet facilities, answering the inevitable problem has long been echoed all through the hallowed halls of many retail distributors over the region.
Granted, producers experience wonderful lengths and expenditure to check out that their dehumidifier products are most well-liked more than all many others which often brings another concern in to the equation, "Are they definitely better"? As outlined by foremost economic indicators and checks carried out on various styles of dehumidifiers by nationally identified testing facilities, the top dehumidifier to acquire may be the device that greatest fulfills somebody humidity command issue.
All dehumidifiers are designed and engineered to remove too much moisture content material from your air in the house to satisfactory degrees. Deciding on a dehumidifier model over all other individuals habitually stays a make any difference of personal choice on the other hand choosing a dehumidifier based upon price tag alone in typically a typical error by many shoppers.
Dehumidifiers with lowered pricing are frequently scaled-down in dimension with reduced ability typically masking sq. footages of a lot less than eight-hundred (800) sq. ft. Positioning such a dehumidifier unit in an spot of one-thousand square ft or even more, may or may not cut down the relative humidity efficiently, regretably will greatly speed up the power value to work the unit to some amount that negates the decreased price of the unit.
With implications into the in general usefulness in lessening dampness content material in the house, dehumidifiers really are a very good expenditure with irreplaceable dividends obtained. In which pricing for stand-alone dehumidifier styles range from one-hundred ($100) dollars to three-hundred ($300) or more, there stays a large number of several versions from trustworthy suppliers to select from.
With total ability(whole amount of money of liquid held in collection containers) ranging from twenty-five (25) pints towards the best ability dehumidifier units of seventy (70) pints remaining a crucial aspect within the general effectiveness of a dehumidifier device, other available choices and functions available also stay of equal relevance.
Selections or functions made available on dehumidifier units are equivalent in mother nature and performance. Widespread dehumidifier attributes selected on dehumidifier units involve:

• Electricity Star Ranking
• Mobility
• Sounds stage
• Ease of use

$10 NLHE 6-max: A high
SB: $10 (100 bb)
BB: $7.99 (79.9 bb)
MP: $3.66 (36.6 bb)
CO: $11.24 (112.4 bb)
Hero (BTN): $10 (100 bb)
Preflop: Hero is BTN with A 7
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, SB folds, BB calls $0.20
Flop: ($0.65) 3 5 T (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.35, BB calls $0.35
Turn: ($1.35) T (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
River: ($1.35) 3 (2 players)
BB bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50
Considering the way the hand played, I would fold, expecting to see a 3, 5, or small pocket pair (77 or lower) from BB here. The line chosen forces us to rely solely on showdown value (we don't really have any) against a range that we either chop or lose to. I think the mistake on this hand comes on the turn, as the check in position indicates you don't have a T (capping your range and allowing Villian to bet the hands listed earlier confidently on river) or you are worried about a T, allowing Villian to introduce possible bluffs on the river. Would you ever check trips (even weak ones like T7s) on the turn in position with just straight draws present? On the turn, we can recognize this hand will probably finish as a bluff vs. the board. Since our flop action has set us on the bluffing path, why not continue?
I believe a more profitable line could look like this: Bet $0.70-$0.75 on the turn. Villian responds in following manner: Villian folds (Hero wins), raises (Hero folds), calls turn and checks river (Hero checks behind for showdown value), or calls turn and bets river (Hero folds). With this bet, Hero wins a larger pot those times Villian calls with overcards for two streets, actualizes any potential fold equity against a weak A or pocket pairs (99-66, 44, 22), and can represent top of range hands (quads, boats, and top trips down to T9, and pocket pairs), which would put Villian in a difficult spot if he is a thinking player. The line chosen doesn't afford us any of these opportunities and we have to rely solely on showdown value and we only beat K-high bluffs. While we do lose this hand occasionally, I believe we would end up on top because of the number of times Villian folds to the top card pairing on the turn.
Therefore, I think I would bet this hand on the turn in position, and then check this river card if we get to it.

I don't wish to go into details and mechanisms, so please excuse me.<quoted text>
try answering my question for once, instead of being pompous
not impressed
I am not surprised that you goofed up that ordinary bit of chemistry on citrate and citric acid considering your weak foundation in math and science.
As for your question on arsenic, well, once again I don't wish to explain since it'll take me into explanation about the 4 quantum numbers - n, l, m and s, crystal field splitting energy, valence bond theory and then I'll have to explain the nuances of oxidation state which you think you know but you don't - for instance, if I ask you to find the oxidation state of S in the transformation of sodium thiosulfate to sodium tetrathionate in acidic medium showing all the working steps you will not know how to begin. And, if I ask you to contrast that with valence, milliequivalents, moles and ppm you won't know how to proceed.
So, well, I will drop the topic and forget about it for now.
Maybe some other time.
But, I am really not interested.
When I was preparing for the IIT JEE in Grades 9 to 12, I always referred to advanced Chemistry reference books like Morrison and Boyd, Bruce Mahan, Cotton, Sareen and Sareen,- these books are mainly used by university students but students wishing to crack the IIT JEE have to compulsorily refer to these books in detail.
In-depth knowledge of chem or math will hardly take you deep into the nature of the reality nor will it make one a better person.
Ok, then, best regards.

Stranger In The Mirror
Short Story by: DanielleD
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Melancholic eyes stare straight ahead into a gilded mirror, transfixed by the familiar stranger staring back. The stranger looked so calm, so cool, so put together. Sexy, chin length layers the color of melted caramel framed a face that could be described as either sweet or saucy, depending on the mood of the girl it graced. At the moment she looked neither. The melancholy haunted more than just her eyes.
Fingers that trembled ever so slightly play with the ends of the soft hair. Two hours ago the tresses had hung down her back, thick waves of golden brown that she loved to twist around her index finger. He had loved playing with those curls as well. Thinking about him is what had inspired the need for change, the need to rid herself of the things he loved. "It's just hair," she out loud, her voice matter of fact. It was just hair. It had been her hair though. Her long, beautiful hair. It was gone now. Gone, just like him. His need for change was what prompted her need to change.
"Change is good though. Change is wonderful. I love change." Her voice sounded too peppy, as though she was forcing herself to believe the words coming across her candy apple red lips. Perhaps on some level she was. She was forcing herself to embrace the changes life, he, had thrown at her; because change was good, it was wonderful. Even when it felt like neither of those things. She needed the change though. Oh God, how she needed the change.Dark brown eyes close. As much as she needed, longed for, the change still hurt. Change meant moving on. Change meant finally letting go of him.
Moving away from the mirror, she opens her eyes. Her gaze falls on the mass of clothing thrown haphazardly across her bed. Every single garment had been an impulse buy, most she couldn't even recall buying or why. A sexy red halter top with sequins along the neck line. A brilliant green turtle neck tunic. Two little black dresses; one little more than a tube, the other a cowl necked number that barely skimmed her thighs. Staring intently at the pile, she chews her lips, mindful of the fact that she would have to check her teeth for lipstick.
She reaches out, snatching the first top her hand comes in contact with. A white baby doll with embellishments along the deep v-neck. She remembered buying this one. It had looked uber cute on the mannequin in the window, paired with skinny dark jeans, pointy toed flats, and several layers of silver chains. She had bought it with the intention of copying that same look only to chicken out when he made fun of the shoes, saying they looked witch-y. She had hung the top in the back of her closet, hidden the shoes she had purchased to go with it, and forgotten all about looking window display cute.
"Screw him," she muttered, tugging off the red cap sleeved top she had worn to the salon. She tosses the shirt into the corner of her room where the rest of her dirty laundry lay in a small pile. The white top slides over her head, the fabric soft against her skin. She smoothes it down her body, her fingers lingering on the hem. It didn't feel right. It didn't feel like her. She ignores the desire to exchange the top for a comfortable t shirt, she ignores the desire to cry over cropped hair and a stupid boy who thought another girl was better than her. She ignores all this because change was good; change was wonderful. Even when it meant becoming someone she didn't even know….

Oh wow. Poor girl in this story. I hate men who try to change their girlfriends.
Very nice, Dee.
I know how she feels in a way. Change can be really painful, but sometimes it has or needs to happen.
Wow. Thats deep. I feel bad for her, and at the same time i love her already. Awesome work.
This was good...short but to good effect, similar to my writing style in that respect. This is one of those stories that couldbe poetry in their own right, it was certainly a good read. im going to browse your portfolio after i have posted this
This is good. I totally feel like I have been where the girl is, like the need to change yourself just because you think it would help with the pain of being heartbroken. It didn't help in my case, but totally like how you made the whole pain show in the writing.
I think there are quite a few of us who feel the need to change. Sometimes I think the need comes from this sense of seperating ourselves from the pain. The girl who looked one way got her heart broken but the girl with the new look hadn't. Sadly, it doesn't work. No matter how much you cut your hair the heartbreak is still there.
Well, this is absolutely brilliant! I love the consistency with 'change' I feel as though short stories should pave some design and this is a perfect example! You know I could go on and on... Brilliant writing, I feel I have a lot to learn from you lol ~ Nixie
Very good story. The character is very easy to relate to and the subject matter is familiar, yet personal in a way that makes it fresh and very much alive. The only suggestion I have to improve your story would be to watch the tense in which you are writing. Shifting from past to present in passages such as the first sentences in your last paragraph ("Screw him," she muttered, tugging off the red cap sleeved top she had worn to the salon. She tosses the shirt into the corner of her room where the rest of her dirty laundry lay in a small pile.)can get jar a reader out of the story by making him/her figure out how the two different time streams fit together. Otherwise, well done.
i think everyone can relate to the girl in the story, even guys. i feel she represents the want to change when perceived by others to not be good enough. very good story

Sunny and unseasonably warm conditions meant slower than usual times at the Nagano Marathon's 19th running. Racheal Jemutai Mutgaa took the women's race out in 17:55 for the first 5 km, on track for a low 2:31, with early company from fellow Kenyan Mirriam Wangari and Ethiopian Fantu Eticha. By 10 km Mutgaa was on her own, sailing on unchallenged to win in 2:33:00. Wangari and Eticha stayed together until near 30 km when Eticha launched a surge that put her into 2nd. Wangari responded and in turn opened on Eticha before 35 km, but by 40 km it had turned around one more time. Eticha took 2nd in 2:37:10, Wangari 3rd over a minute behind in 2:38:29. Aki Otagiri (Team Tenmaya) was the top Japanese woman at 4th in 2:41:26.
The men's pack went out comparatively slower, the large lead group running just sub-2:17 pace for the first 5 km before a breakaway surge from Tatsunori Hamasaki (Nanjo City Hall) and Junichi Shioya (Takigahara SDF Base) got things moving. Hamasaki and Shioya opened their lead to more than 30 seconds by 20 km, but at halfway Mongolian national record holder Ser-Od Bat-Ochir (Team NTN) spearheaded a move to catch back up to them. By 25 km he had overtaken both, while the rest of the chase group remained 15 seconds behind. At 30 km Bat-Ochir had a 32-second lead over the chase pack led by serial marathoner Taiga Ito (Suzuki Hamamatsu AC) and the debuting Kazuki Onishi (Team Kanebo). Ito began to close, and just before 40 km he overtook Bat-Ochir for the lead and the win in 2:14:39, just the second Japanese man in Nagano history to take the top spot. Bat-Ochir faded to 2nd in 2:15:12, with the Koichi Morishita-coached Yuki Oshikawa (Team Toyota Kyushu) 3rd in 2:15:27.

I move back to my seat. Gloria looks like she's getting uncomfortable. I figure I'll give her the full space back. I have to wait for our escort to pass by as the driver calls him up front. As I slide out of the seat I can't help but look at the rest of the bus. I keep blinking. Real, illusion, real, illusion; I lose track of what I'm looking at.
There's a werewolf and vampire talking with someone else. There's the two aliens up front. Make that three; I think the escort might be one too. The actors have at least seemed to have passed out. They were weird, the way they actually believed their imaginations. There's the man with the tattoos. I can't see his ghost though; the one that was haunting him. For some reason that disturbs me more than anything else on this bus.
Even as I manage to scoot into my seat I can't help watching him. I think. I think he might be part Faerie as well. But, I sit down. My own shyness is my enemy. I could ask Gloria, since she can see auras and all. I look at her. She is resting, as all women do that close to delivery. I don't want to disturb her.
I pick up my book and tried to read. I can't concentrate. I keep looking up towards the guy with the tattoos. I don't know why he fascinates me so. He seems to be the opposite of my father. Of course my father; I don't know. I never understood him. He pretty much wilted once Mom was killed and it was my Grandmother who ran things now. I loved her, but she was overbearing. In fact, I really didn't want to go home. She probably knew I'd failed in college. I didn't want to hear her lecture.
I try to read again. I see something hovering in front of me. It's the tattoo man's ghost. I look back at my book, trying to ignore her. I shiver slightly. I don't think she likes to be annoyed.

It is the parent's responsibility to provide a safe, secure home for their children and meet their needs. Raising happy and healthy kids takes common sense, responsible budgeting of time and a good support system. So let's start by making these super delicious and simple lunch meals for kids.
Kids should not be allowed to set their own schedule or run rampant as that only teaches irresponsibility. This ensures that kids get their daily tasks done and you still have time to take care of your husband and of your business or work. Of course, special family events or necessary shopping change the routine a bit, but everything still gets done.
Common sense helps with the daily decisions that affect all of us. Sure it would be more fun to run errands all day, visit friends, bring home take-out food instead of cooking. But proper time must be spent on laundry, dirty dishes, cooking and cleaning.
Parents should try to feed the kids balanced and varied meals with lots of fruit and vegetables, and give them daily vitamins. Common sense dictates for them to wear jackets outside when playing if it is chilly, not to serve dinner too late, not to keep them out too late on school nights and make sure they get enough sleep each night.
Having fun and spending time with the kids is also important. This makes them feel important which they are, and it gives me a break from adult stuff. They may not be adults with financial and other worries, but they still have concerns or questions pertaining to their age that should be addressed. Spending quality time with your kids can remove stress and helps restore perspective. Speaking with them and answering questions instead of constantly badgering them also creates a closer bond.
Parents should try to budget their time as best as possible between family and work. Business paperwork, making school lunches and picking out clothes often happens after their bedtime. A good support system between can really make the difference, and taking turns with the kids to give each other a break.
Raising happy and healthy kids takes planning and working together. Children need structure and learn to give respect in such an environment. Knowing they have food to eat, a place to sleep, and parents who love and care for them go a long way as they grow.
So here are some Healthy & Nutritious Lunch Meals For Kids, that are simple to make:
Preparing a healthy lunch or snack for your kids can be a nightmare – they often despise healthy good food. Then on the other hand the ones that they might be into, could take an hour to prepare. Luckily, there are healthy lunch ideas for kids that don't take too much time to prepare and pack. Here is a quick look at some healthy kids lunches that don't take more than half an hour to make. It would be best to accompany these with prepackaged health snacks to ensure your kids really get all the nutrition they need to get through each day at school.
The Summer Vegetable Crepe
Summer vegetable crepes can be quite healthy and it is definitely one of the tastiest lunches you can serve your kids. It is one of those lunches that will convince your kids that veggies aren't disgusting to eat.
Preparation time clocks in at exactly thirty minutes for this dish. It comes packed with green beans, zucchinis, chives, corn kernels, and more.
Bean Roll Ups
All you need to do is spread bean dip on top of a flour or corn tortilla. Simply add cheddar cheese before rolling it and then brush lightly with oil and then bake it at 400o F for a good ten minutes. Serve this with salsa – best if you make your own salsa for an extra punch of healthiness.
Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes
Here you'll use potatoes filled and stuffed with cheddar cheese, reduced-fat sour cream, lean ground beef, and broccoli florets. These stuffed baked potatoes ooze with hot deliciousness and are a favorite for kids in need of a quick but healthy lunch.
The recipe makes for four servings in 30 minutes. This is more than enough to give your kid the boost of energy they need to finish their school day.
Turkey and Tomato Panini
Here's a lunch idea that every kid will love. You can make four servings in just 25 minutes too. You'll end up with a very cream sandwich spread that is filled with basil, Parmesan cheese, turkey, and tomato slices for all the extra flavor and nutrition.
It's a hot sandwich that is perfect for those tiring days at school. It's one of the most rewarding lunch ideas for kids and is one you should try out as well.
Chicken Salad Sandwich
Put some chopped chicked, lettuce and cucumber between two slices of whole wheat bread. You May add cheese or salad dressing to the sandwich to make it more appealing. You can substitude the chicken with sliced beef or sliced turkey if you would like. Any member of the protein group will go nicely here. Note to add butter or mayo to the bread if you'd like.
There are two elements of a well-balanced diet; these are eating the correct amount of food for how active you are, and eating a range of foods.
In order to achieve all or some of the above, we have to practice healthy lifestyle with good food and exercise. To be sluggish is not being healthy. Also in order to be healthy we must be both mentally and physically fit.
Good eating habits by eating healthy food can keep you strong and healthy. As the main reason for disease and ill-health is bad food habits, try to avoid processed and refined food.
A simple change of diet can improve your health within a short period. The choice of foods in your diet ought to consist of a sufficient amount of fruit and vegetables, whole grain varieties of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods.
Developing good eating habits mean you will meet your daily requirements of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It also reduces the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain forms of cancer.
To improve and maintain good general health, healthy eating is vital to lowering health risks such as obesity, provide water and essential nutrients to the body. The healthy body gives energy when needed, and do not have excessive weight due to too much and inadequate consumption of food.
Stayed tuned for more Healthy and Nutrition advice and ideas. As well as weight loss and fitness information here.

Behind The Scenes
I started to get more sick than usual a few weeks ago. Mid The Broken Of Britain launch I was hugely optimistic that for me personally, things were coming together on the work front and that the prospect of being able to work from home was a realistic one. A week of putting in the equivalent of full time hours, all work done either from my bed or lying on the sofa made it very obvious that it wasn't a realistic plan, although I am still hopeful about working part time from home. Fortunately I figured this out for myself before my friends had to intervene, but I've still had several stern lectures about how working from bed is not resting and one friend quite firmly informed me that if I did not stop he would be coming round and removing my laptop to enforce rest. I stopped. Vomiting and diaorrhea are difficult enough for all of us to deal with, but D&V for hours all night, every night tipped me over the edge. I could see the shock on my GP's face when I saw him last week even before he expressed his concern about the amounts of facial weakness and general rubbishness I was exhibiting. I have gastritis again, connective tissue disorders being one of the trigger causes.
Despite tripling the dose of omeprazole I take the D&V has continued. So has the excruiciating upper abdominal pain. On the upside I do now have a really pretty collection of empty Gaviscon bottles, I'm swigging it straight from the bottle like a low class alcoholic and waiting to hear back from my GP about what to do next. I've had gastritis before and it's pretty horrible, but the additional impact of stress upon it is not pretty.
It would all be much easier without having to deal with the bureaucratic nonsense hidden from healthy people. The stress of my DLA reapplication is still hanging over me, my current award expires at the end of this month. This morning I phoned the DWP to see how things were progressing, as if the award is not renewed in time all my other benefits will be dramatically reduced until it is. DWP staff get a terrible press, but apart from 2 incidents which spring to mind I've always been treated kindly and respectfully in my dealings with them. I'd particularly like to thank Gemma for taking the time to check my claim this morning and to reassure me that it is with the decision maker so likely to be decided upon before my current award ends. She was also able to reassure me that there has been no request for additional information as I provided statements from my physiotherapist, my carer and my policeman friend as well as my GP's part of the form so a decision is likely to be made without my needing a medical.
I've had to avoid the continuing news about cuts to benefits, but yesterday it finally dawned on me that the reduction in Local Housing Allowance from 50% of average area rent to 30% of average area rent will put me at higher risk for homelessness than I'd previously thought. I'm very fortunate, I am educated and privileged and have friends who will not allow me to end up on the streets. Even with that security blanket I'm terrified. My current Local Housing Allowance is paid at £90.90 per week, and leaves me with approximately £80 rent shortfall to make up each month from my other benefits. If my calculations are correct, which I cannot bear to check as I want to believe I'm wrong, then my LHA will drop to £54.30 a week when the rate is changed to 30% of local rent. That will mean my rent shortfall increases from approximately £80 per month to nearly £250 per month. My need to be wrong on this is preventing me from confirming these details and I become hysterical every time I see Grant Shapps on TV insisting that it is wrong to pay £21, 000 a year in Housing Benefit.Whether or not it is wrong to do so is being used as a smokescreen to hide the true impact of the cuts to Housing Benefit.
Over the weekend I received a letter from 'Choose and Book' reminding me to make an appointment. Unfortunately I haven't received the first letter from C&B with a password and details so entered into one of those Kafkaesque bureaucratic nonsenses when I tried to phone for an appointment this morning. I spoke to C&B who informed me that without a password they couldn't make any appointment. I begged them to find a way around this, or to ask for an appointment to be made directly through my local hospital, but neither was possible. The only way I can make an appointment is to phone my GP's practice and they will have to provide the details of the password taking up their time and mine. Then I have to phone C&B back and will be able to make an appointment. Hopefully. As last time I tried to use C&B there were no available appointments, clinics or doctors and so I just gave up and threw the referral away. I'm tempted to do the same now but have no rheumatologist and desperately need specialist input as does my GP to deal with the current health problems. So, having already phoned my GP practice this morning to try and make an appointment I will have to waste more of their time chasing up this issue. The phone call with C&B left me shaking and exhausted. Were I elderly, or perhaps not diagnosed with anything and unsure if I really needed to see a specialist I would have given up and not bothered.
I have abandoned any hope of getting an appropriate wheelchair from the NHS. It is too difficult and a battle I have no energy to fight. Fortunately a fellow blogger is kindly putting together an application to the Motability Trust to see if I can get a power wheelchair or scooter from their charity. It feels like begging, and as my considerate friend applying for me knows only too well, I would never have been able to write such an application for myself.
Things are so dire that I have found myself considering approaching Social Services to ask for a support package. I was already terrified of Social Services having personal experience that there is no situation Social Services can't make vastly worse, so it is indicative of my current desperation that I would even consider it. I lost my care package when the local authority rationed care to critical and substantial only under the previous Labour government and given that care is set to be even more tightly rationed I know that even if I could deal with the trauma and stress that goes hand in hand with being assessed by Social Services I will not qualify for any support.
Of course, an appropriate wheelchair, a care package and less hassle in aquiring support from the NHS would all combine to make it more likely I could work from home. But, in this austere climate of cuts none of those things will happen, and like many disabled people who long to work I am pushed further away from that aspiration.
If assisted suicide were available in the UK I would be seriously considering that as an option. Not because I want to die, or because my medical condition is so disabling I can't bear to live with it, neither of which could be further from the truth. But purely and simply because the stress and fear of navigating the system during the Coalition's bonfire of the benefits is more than I can bear.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and unfortunately am in a precarious situation myself. Don't watch tv so didnt realise who Shapps is... Just what the hell do they expect people to do who aren't as privileged as they are? Even working 2-3 jobs isn't enough to look after yourself where the few jobs actually are... and the only way to lower expenses is to find a way to move where the jobs aren't... which already have more than enough people out of work and stuck between a rock and a hard place... Very upsetting xxx

Any more talk of 'Assisted Suicide' and I'm going to march right over there and whup you silly. Big time spanking. Take you over my knee.
Of course, then I'll feel bad and have to spend days trying to make you feel better.

C & B's ridiculous. Last time I used it I was at the GP, and when he printed the referral for me the password was already on it, which made things more straightforward. You'd think.
And "choose"? There was only one "option" given. Anyway, I phoned, went through the process, and a few days later I received a letter saying an appointment had been made for me - at a different place and time.
Since then my GP has made a couple of referrals for me, so I didn't have to go through the process. He understands that my impaired speech makes it very hard for me to make phonecalls - maybe you can ask your GP to bypass all the red tape, as it's been such a problem for you.

Please don't fret about the assisted suicide comments. I have no desire to die and certainly won't be acting upon it even if I did. The point I'm trying to make is that the stresses disabled people are being put under by the Coalition govt will result in suicides.

Oh my gosh, I hope that things improve for you soon. Although my situation isn't as bad as yours I can identify with so much of what you've said here. Having to deal with the DWP and the NHS is frustrating enough to make me give up too. I've had to get myself a solicitor to deal with my dla claim and trying to see a specialist is like trying to get a meeting with God! Although I'm not able to offer much I can offer you my support and an ear should you need it. I know it's hard to keep fighting... but what other option do we have.

Hang in there, Bendy. I'm so sorry you're going through this, especially at a time when you've been working hard on the political stuff.
But you'll be pleased to know you're at least a bit wrong about your rent. It's not been 50% of average, but the 50th percentile - e.g. median average. So a cap at the 30th percentile won't be 30% of average rent*. Quite what it will be, I'm not sure, but the cut should not be so severe.
When you are strong enough, there's a spreadsheet off this article which actually gives losses per week for each local authority. For one bed places, at a brief glance, this is mostly £7 or £8 a week, especially in the North.
* Not that the median average means folks have been getting that much to rent places - you've been getting the median average to rent a one bedroomed property in a certain area, which will include all manner of bedsits at the top of high-rises and other places you couldn't physically get to, let alone live in.

Whatever about the battle you've got on your hands at the moment in trying to get the benefits you need and deserve, I'm far more concerned about your physical well-being.
By any chance, have you been put on Nexium for the gastritis?
While awaiting a gastroscopy to confirm a stomach ulcer a couple of years ago, my GP prescribed Zoton for the pain. It worked beautifully.
After the stomach ulcer had been confirmed, the hospital put me on Nexium to settle the gastritis and heal the ulcer. It caused severe D&V.
My GP stopped it and put me back on Zoton 30mg which did the trick and healed the ulcer perfectly. I've not had any gastritis/symptoms of ulcer since.
I hope you can get the D&V sorted quickly as I know well how debilitating it can be.
Sorry if this advice is of little use to you. I just wanna help as I hate the thought of you living alone in that sort of condition.

I was going to post the same thing as Goldfish, having fretted about this myself (and fretted is a polite understatement!). My LA sent a detailed document to the Houses of Commons on how much the change to 30th percentile will mean on average to different LHA room rates, and in different circumstances (families, the elderly, et cetera), which is very useful reading. Mind you, they sent the letter detailing how bad things will be, because they were asking to have their duty to house homeless people waived as the burden would be too much during the cuts, the utter w@nkers. But your LA might have done something similar. It also listed when each of the changes would be made, month by month and which claimant groups would have the changes rolled out to them first. Could be something to have a look for when you're having a slightly stronger moment. It took me 5 attempts to read through mine, just because anger and frustration welled up each time.
Other than that, I'm afraid I don't have much useful to add, except perhaps company. I'm having the same nightmare. DLA reassessed in early summer next year, around the time the other cuts will start to hit. If I loose my higher mobility, I loose my car, and thus my ability to volunteer at the community drop-in just down the road, my ability to do my own shopping, my ability to see people outside the house.
I've spent so much time busying myself trying to work out how it will affect other people, making arguments on other people's behalf, because whenever I start to look at how the changes will affect me, it's horrifying and I end up not bothering getting out of bed.
You're doing an amazing thing with this blog, and helping a lot of other people.
Good luck with the reassessment, I have my fingers crossed for you.

I hope you can get your physical situation sorted quickly as it sounds dreadful.
In the States, we don't have a DLA benefit. Just about everyone I know who is on disability gets denied at least once having in some cases to get a solicitor to secure their benefit. Then, they must wait two years to get Medicare, a government backed programme for elderly and disabled persons.
With the conservative turn in the recent elections here, work will probably be harder to find. I have been looking for two years and like you, I am educated and disabled and use a wheelchair.
If you need a chair, do not give up trying to get one. Here, without insurance, many people must rely on grants or donations, which are few compared to the need.
While your NHS may be problematic, the medical system here is often inaccessible to those without medical insurance, which is costly, and even at its best, everything is expensive and people often end up bankrupt due to medical bills.
I have read your blog for a while and haven't commented, but the thought of you struggling with all of this just got to me. We each have our own struggles, not the least of which is being treated with dignity.
Best to you, Bendy.

I am completely there with you on all this. Even done the all-night every-night vomiting, agony and Gaviscon dependence! But the worst is that I feel so much of me has already been irreparably crushed by the constant stress and humiliation. And that is only a further humiliation - that I have had parts of what I considered my essential personality taken from me by 15 years of disbelief and disgust. That anyone could do that to me, and that I could allow it to happen.
And running up against the realisation of your physical limitations when you had led yourself to believe you could do so much more is one of the hardest things. Even before someone comes along to tell you you're not trying hard enough and you just need to change your belief that you can't do things, when your problem is the exact opposite!
I've found myself saying a lot lately that I wish I could just go to sleep and never wake up. That is not me at all but I just don't know how to handle any more. But then I think how pleased the Government and other hideous right-wing mobs would be to save the massive £9000 a year total I get and I think I'd rather suffer anything than give them that satisfaction. Well, or at least go and do my dying very publicly and embarrassingly in front of a minister.
You have already done such important work in kicking off more scrutiny of the cuts and their real impact, though. I've seen your videos popping up all over the place online, sometimes quite unexpectedly, and I'm sure the emotional power of your voice (including your written one) has sparked off a bit more thought about things in a lot of people.
The only thing worse than being broken is that it's such heartlessness, thoughtlessness, selfishness, ignorance doing the breaking. I hope you feel more able to cope soon, and have less to cope with.

I'm sorry to read you are feeling so low. I did wonder why you hadn't posted in a while and was a bit worried. I admire you so much; you have such great strength. I'm sure things will improve soon. I also have EDS, along with a rare autoimmune disease and I've been having a bit of a breakdown for a while now. Sometimes it just seems so hard, doesn't it?
Try not to worry too much about the LHA changes. As someone already mentioned, it isn't 30% of the average rent it is the 30th percentile, which means the new rate will be sufficient to fully cover 30% of the properties in the area.

I know exactly how you feel and seeing it in print like that is very powerful.
We've been overdoing it my dear. Take a rest, and I agree with Zellieh, treat yourself. Sod the cash and the benefits and the stress. Get the girls round or have a lovely movie night with champagne or order in your fave take-away.
It'll all still be there next week.
I'll keep fighting the fight for a while and you can take over again when I have surgery, lol
Just remember this, you're doing more than most healthy people do in a lifetime. You're brave and clever AND funny - a devastating combination.

I guess this is what Cameron meant when he said `We`re all in this together`: virtually every disabled person in the UK having to live in terror as we`re given the `Black Triangle` treatment.
Hang in there - there`s no way the Coalition / Axis of Evil is going to be able to destroy lives this way. I reckon ATOS will be found unfit for purpose and some backhander-scam will be exposed to regarding the government and the aforementioned.

BG i am not too well at the moment so this is short.
I hear all that you are saying and wondered whether your health would be affected whilst you took on the plight of the disabled as always forgetting your own.
Be kind to yourself, look after yourself.
I understand all that you say about wheelchair services; that alone has made me for the first time ever wonder whether my emotional wellbeing is as good as it should be let alone all the worry you are going through with money and the government and all that crap.
Thinking of you as always. I wish I could wave a magic wand and win the lottery and I'd give you money to make it better.
But instead I can only send my love and leave everyone else to say the other intelligent bits.
Take care BG. I sincerely hope DLA gets back to you soon without a break in award and I am thinking of you aware though that thinking of you is not enough.
I am thinking of you though and care more than you realise.
Take care my bendy friend. I understand.

The estimate I've seen is that the new LHA will be about 80% of the old: I think it could actually be a bit less than that, but you're probably looking at something nearer £70 than £54. That's bad enough when the present allowance so often isn't enough even for the cheaper places available to claimants. It's a horrible measure that seems rooted in pure malice. Let's hope we can stop it.

Far too picky about the type of disabilities you have taken on without permission. You think you are having a breakdown? there are many people who are far worse off than you - get a grip and stop the theatricals and dramatics.

I got a ticket the other day for running a stop sign. Except I didn't run it, I passed the line barely and halted to a stop. I waved at people in the cross walk to go ahead and pass but they denied so i proceeded to go through the stop sign. Shortly after the police officer pulled me over and said even though I didn't run the stop sign all the way it still was a reasonable cause for a 250 dollar ticket. Should I try and get this ticket revoked or just pay the fine?

First holiday memory?
My dad's from Sardinia, so we would always go there. My grandfather, aunties and cousins still live there, so I go back a couple of times a year. It's a beautiful island, with gorgeous beaches and great food.
Favourite place in the British Isles?
A tie between the two cities where I live – London and Cardiff. When I go back to Wales, I live 20 miles outside Cardiff, in quite a rural place. It's nice to relax, but I love coming back to London because it's so vibrant.
Best holiday?
Mexico. I stayed in Cancun, which is not exactly the nicest part, but I also travelled to Tulum. There's this beautiful cove with an amazing azure sea and Mayan ruins above it. It was like going back in time.
What have you learnt from your travels?
Make sure you take the right medicine. I like to party and over-indulge when I'm away, but there's nothing worse than waking up the next morning and not having some headache pills.
Ideal travelling companion?
My girlfriend. We're both very busy, so sometimes we don't get to see each other a lot. Holidays are a chance to spend some quality time together. The last place we went was Barbados, which was very relaxing, and also Moscow for a photoshoot, which was a little bit too cold for me. I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back!
Holiday reading?
At the moment I'm reading my father's autobiography [the boxing trainer, Enzo Calzaghe]. It's one of the very few books I've read.
Where has seduced you?
Los Angeles. One of my friends has an apartment overlooking Hermosa Beach, which is endless and beautiful. It's not too crowded, so it's really peaceful.
In the city, I love going to bars and nice restaurants. I went to Soho House on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood last time, which had amazing views and great food. It's completely different from the London one.
Worst travel experience?
Years ago, I booked a four-star hotel in Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands, with my former wife and our son. We stayed for a week and it was terrible. The rooms were disgusting and my son kept getting bitten by something. It was so bad I had to find somewhere else to stay.
Best hotel?
The standard in Dubai is incredible. I've been a couple of times to recuperate after fights and it's all really high-end.
Favourite drive?
From Las Vegas to San Francisco with a friend. You've seen that landscape in films, but driving through the desert and witnessing it up close is entirely different. We stopped along the way in remote places, where there were no cars or people, just stunning scenery.
Best meal abroad?
A place in Little Italy, New York. I went for the first time in 2001 and had this spaghetti vongole, with clams and tomato marinara. It was so good I ended up ordering another one.
Favourite city?
Rome, for the sights, restaurants and the history. New York to party and have a good time.
Where next?
Sardinia. It's not the best time of year to visit the island, but I'm going back to see family for a few days. I'll be at home with my boys for Christmas and then somewhere warm, possibly Barbados again, for a holiday early next year.

I purchased 3 items on their website for $130 through Paypal. The items never arrived two weeks later. The scam is the same as everyone else describes. No physical address. phishing rerouted email address according to gmail. a phone number that goes straight to voicemail and nobody ever calls back. The phone number is the only contact info listed on the website. When I disputed this via paypal, they immediately sent me an autoreply email that my order was refunded. Of course it wasn't. I've now escalated the claim and awaiting Paypal to investigate. There are lots or reviews like mine for this company. Don't be fooled!

There's no doubt pregnancy is a very special time – but it can also bring some rather interesting changes to the body, too.
A short clip posted by user 'John Deadman' shows a baby turning in her mother's womb, her limbs clearly visible through his mum's stomach, at 39 weeks.
Commenters have largely been shocked by the video, with many saying it's "creepy".
"That was … disturbing. And so real. Like, there's a real, fully formed baby in there," one wrote.
Others used it as a learning experience. "I can't promise anything, but in my experience, movement as pronounced as this is very rare. Usually you can see some flutters from the outside, and nothing more. The feeling inside is a different story – it might feel like a TON of movement. Every pregnancy and baby is unique," another posted.
And one mum wrote, "This is literally the coolest thing I have seen in my entire life. It's so surreal to feel your baby moving inside – but it's such a blessing!"

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 378 reviews
Very nice place to take your kids, even if they are very little. I have a 2 yr old and a 9 month old, and we still found things to do at the water park. We went to the water park twice a day and had a blast! There are areas for all ages. The indoor restaurant is very relaxed, and I felt comfortable taking two little ones there.
I read mixed reviews, but we loved it! Smaller water park area than some locally, but easy to get to and pretty nice! My 5 year old and I had tons of fun. Sometimes the staff seemed a little slow, but they were always super friendly, which makes up for it! The rooms were very nice and quiet for sleeping. Overall, we really liked it!!
Best resort ever for families!!!!!
We were very happy with our recent stay and plan to return for sure!

A new heroMature
This is a story about two people who thought they had nothing in common except coffee. Little did Cass know that he life was about to be turned around...
'I can't do this anymore,' and that was it. Five little words and it was all over. It wasn't until several weeks later that I found out why; he had a girlfriend the whole time. Three whole years of meaninglessness. I decided then and there that I wouldn't let anyone else in, I'd moped enough. I was sick of being used, sick of being an amusement to people I barely knew. If they didn't care about me why should I care about them?
I began by overtaking people on the footpath, then I stole a parking spot from an old man just as he was about to take it. I stopped buying birthday presents and demanded more from my family. I knew it wasn't their fault but I was trying to get a message across – this girl doesn't take shit from anybody. I wasn't going to let myself get hurt again. Trust should be earned not handed over like charity. The only person I could trust was my best friend Lauren.
'You know that guy's been staring at you since we've been here. I don't know what he's doing behind that laptop but it's creepy. I mean just look at his face!'
'I don't really care, guys are pervs. And who says he's not looking at you?'
Her laugh quickly replaced the look of exaggerated shock on her face, 'are you kidding me? Look at you, we both know you're the good looking one.'
'I know, I'm just teasing,' and I stuck out my tongue cheekily.
After a long pause, she said, 'You've changed Cass.'
'Yeah after that thing with Brett I decided not to care anymore, you just end up getting hurt otherwise.'
'Blocking people out can be lonely too… just be careful okay? Something might happen when you're not looking, trust me I've been there.'
'I am, don't worry.'

Whitepaper: Current trends in Raman Spectroscopy for Upstream Bioprocess Monitoring and Control
1 September 2015 • Author(s): Kaiser Optical Systems Inc
More than ten years have passed since the creation of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Process Analytical Technology (PAT) framework, during which the bioprocess has continuously evolved resulting in new challenges that have been addressed with a multitude of innovative measurement and control solutions.
The FDA has identified a number of hurdles that will need to be addressed if these innovations are to scale-up from research, into the process development suite, and ultimately the GMP manufacturing suite. However, as evidenced by the growing number of success stories being shared by the industry, this is well underway.
This application note covers some new trends in bioprocess monitoring and control. It focuses on the increasing use of Kaiser Optical Systems Inc. (Kaiser) Raman spectrometers as multi-measurement bioprocess sensors to enable quality by design, process optimization, process control and continuous processing. Links to mature manufacturing methodologies such as Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing are also made throughout this note to highlight the value of Raman-based solutions for improvement of capability and efficiency.

All reader reviews by Ridgerunner
I have been a regular at the Baltic for more than 5 years and have been one of its keenest advocates. But in the past two or three months, something has changed. On the first visit before Christmas,I put it down to a one off bad night but it now transpires that the management has changed completely and apparently all the wonderful friendly staff that used to populate the restaurant have gone with them.
Bookings now have to be made cap in hand and I was told for my last visit that I had two choices of times, 7.00 and 9.00 as they have two sittings. When we arrived at 7.10, we were told that our table was probably gone "but they would see what they could do". When I suggested we had a drink at the bar whilst they sorted it out, I was told that we had to wait at the reception desk otherwise we wouldn't be seated at all.
The ordering of pre-dinner drinks when we got to our table was chaotic and we ended up with more drinks than people but the waiter would not take them back because he insisted that is what we ordered.
What was once wonderful food is now very average. The foie gras which historically has been the jewel in the crown for the Baltic came as a shrivelled burnt offering (despite having asked for it pink) and the main courses would not have been out of place in a works canteen.
Service was inconsistent, with main courses arriving for two of our guests and then a five minute interval before the other two mains arrived.
Incidentally, the two sittings policy doesn't seem to be implemented very well and there were a number of vacant tables throughout the evening. I suspect the inevitable decline has begun.

It was a half-century later, only when experimental approaches that Kozo-Polyansky lacked were applied to his hypotheses, that scientists began to accept his view that symbiogenesis could be united with Darwin's concept of natural selection to explain the evolution of life. After decades of neglect, ridicule, and intellectual abuse, Kozo-Polyansky's ideas are now endorsed by virtually all biologists.Kozo-Polyansky's seminal work is presented here for the first time in an outstanding annotated translation, updated with commentaries, references, and modern micrographs of symbiotic phenomena.

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated differently based on gender, age, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
