Shikijo: eroticism in Japanese photography
Curators: Mimi Chun, Mark Pearson
Date: 7.5 - 25.6.2016
View virtual tour of exhibition
The exhibition features the photography works by 13 Japanese artists, exploring the concept of eroticism and its prevalent presence in contemporary Japanese photography. The exhibition divided into four parts reflect how eroticism is being represented in different forms and styles of photography including tableau photography, snapshot, documentary, portraiture and still life. Whether the images are voyeuristic or exhibitionistic, provocative or subdued, realist or abstract, staged or candid, these works address different subject matters: from the human body, private life to fantasy. All represent a distinctive aesthetic that speaks of eroticism in contemporary Japanese photography which, as the title "Shikijo" suggests, is perceived and felt rather than defined.

A Game of Murder (Play-Script) Extract
My attempt at adapting a novella of mine into a playscript. Though I've had experience in both fields, I've never combined them. What do you think of this?
'Servant friends Alexandra and Christophe are preparing for their mistress' perverse game of murder...'
An extract from
A Game of Murder
(Written and directed by Angel Sumner)
Alexandra- the housemaid, a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years; our main character; speaks with a mild French accent.
Christophe- the household butler, a kindly man in his late twenties, and Alexandra's love interest; speaks with a light French accent, 'dusted' onto his perfect English.
Mrs. Winters- the 'lady of the house', a sometimes hysterical, often childish and presumptuous, bossy woman, a superior to her husband.
Azura Peterson- an actress of fading calibre, of 40-ish years, with two young sons and a divorce behind her. An eccentric, but also a fake, trying to relive her glory years.
Rhaïd Mahalle- a secretive man in his early 30s; Indian heritage and skin-tone, suppositious; speaks with a South London accent, mixed with an Eastern tone.
Thomas Biggins- a business man in his late 30s or early 40s, a good actor and soft hearted man, but concealing something…

Duke fights back to beat Wisconsin for collegiate title
(Reuters) - Led by its fabulous freshman guards, Duke clawed its way back from a second-half deficit and stung Wisconsin 68-63 to claim the U.S. collegiate national championship on Monday.
Tyus Jones scored 19 of his game-high 23 points in the second half, and unsung first-year player Grayson Allen sparked the Blue Devils with 16 as Duke took the title in Indianapolis giving coach Mike Krzyzewski a fifth national championship. Krzyzewski is now second all-time to John Wooden who owns the record with 10 titles.
"All of them are great. The one you're in this moment with is always the most current and you can feel it the best," Krzyzewski told reporters.
"We were dead in the water (tonight) and Grayson put us on his back, got us in striking distance and then we just said 'Tyson, be you' That's great coaching, I guess."
Duke's triumph was very much in doubt midway through the second half where Wisconsin held a 48-39 advantage with 13:23 remaining, and Duke's top big men Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow on the bench.
That is when Allen, who came in averaging just four points per game, scored eight straight points to spark an 11-3 run that got them back in the game.
Jones did the heavy lifting from there, making a go-ahead three-pointer with about four minutes left which started a 10-0 spurt that sealed the contest.
"My team mates and the coaching staff have given me confidence and believed and trusted in me all year," said Jones, named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. "That's the biggest thing about this team, we never want to let each other down."
Wisconsin was seeking its first national title since 1941, but fell short despite 21 points from standout Frank Kaminsky who was recently named the College Player of the Year. Continued...

Meatball dish 'stew-pendous'
Over the holidays, I made a big casserole full of meatballs. After enjoying a couple of meatball sandwiches, I came up with this hearty meal-in-one as another way to use up the remaining meatballs.
Stews are wonderful. If you love meatballs, then a meatball stew is even more wonderful! This one-pot stew is delicious and appetizing with the great added flavor from the sweet potatoes and parsnips.
Meatball stew
Serving size: 8
4 cups water
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium carrots, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 large onion, cut into eighths
2 tablespoons of beef bouillon granules or 2 beef bouillon cubes
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
In a large Dutch oven or soup kettle, bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots, onions and seasonings; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and parsnips. Cover and continue to cook until vegetables are tender. Add the meatballs.
*May use frozen, if desired. Continue to cook until meatballs are heated. Discard bay leaf; stir in frozen peas. Combine flour and cold water and browning sauce, if desired, until smooth and gradually stir into the hot stew. Bring to a boil and stir for two minutes or until thickened.
Bread Sticks
2 packages yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1 cup warm water
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the 1/2 cup warm water. Put all ingredients in a food processor. Mix on high until well mixed. Put dough in bowl and let raise about one hour. Do no punch down. Roll dough into strips to desired lengths. Brush top of strips with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt, poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 325 degrees and bake 15 minutes or until bread sticks are nicely browned. These are delicious served with a cheese dip.
Crispy Potato Snack
Serving Size: 8
4 large baking potatoes, baked
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese or American cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
4 green onions chopped
Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out the pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch shell (save pulp for another use. Place potato skins on a greased baking sheet. Combine oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika and pepper; brush over both sides of skins. Bake at 475 degrees for seven minutes. Turn and bake until crisp, about seven minutes more. Sprinkle bacon and shredded cheese inside skins. Bake two minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and onions. Serve immediately.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: An adult is someone who has stopped growing, except in the middle.
GARY'S TIP: To eliminate odor when cooking cauliflower or cabbage, add a little vinegar to the water.

Voice of Africa Radio
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Voice of Africa Radio (VOAR) is a London-based FM radio station, founded on 1 January 2000 to correct the exclusion and marginalisation of the African community from the electronic media. Initially, the station operated unlicensed, covering the Greater London area on 107.7 MHz. It attracted a wide range of African businesses that advertised and sponsored most of its programmes. Listeners were mainly the youth, but also various African High Commissioners and Heads of State.
Voice of Africa Radio finally won its bid for a five-year permanent FM licence in London on 16 February 2006, after six years of campaigning, making it the first and only legally licensed African radio station in the UK.
The station went live on 20 August 2007. After experiencing problems with pirate stations operating on the assigned frequency (94.3 MHz), Ofcom proposed changing the station's carrier frequency to 94.0 MHz. The change would also allow an increase in radiated signal strength.[1] This change was implemented on 25 February 2011.
Apart from entertaining listeners with an exciting range of African music spanning the continent of Africa, VOAR also provides several phone–in programmes which discuss issues that are pertinent to Africans at local, national and international level. It is based at 24 Swete Street, Plaistow.

When we first started painting our nails, we relied on bottles of acetone to whisk away old polish. Nowadays, even the thought of inhaling smelly fumes is enough to give us a headache. That's why we're hooked on these biodegradable pads. Instead of chemicals, they're soaked with a sweet-smelling citrus solution that clears away old polish and leaves our nails moisturized and conditioned.
Why am I only finding out about these now?! Taking off nail polish is always a huge hassle - it's difficult and smells horrible. So, I always just leave the cruddy-looking polish on forever. No longer will I do that after having found these pads! I am hooked. They smell amazing, actually condition your nails, and the polish comes off incredibly easily. LOVE!5

FACT CHECK: Eric Cantor Fails to Convince Anyone of Republican Party's Makeover
On NBC's Meet the Press this morning, Republican Leader Eric Cantor continued his failed media blitz to rebrand the Tea Party House Republicans, falsely claiming that he opposes the sequester and supports immigration reform.
In reality, Cantor can't put a new face on the Tea Party Republican Congress because they support the same failed ideas that they have been pushing for years. On the impending sequester, Cantor reversed course and claimed he didn't support the sequester – even though he has refused to pass a plan this Congress to halt the sequester and he voted for the measure that created sequester in 2011. On immigration, Cantor falsely claimed to want action and have compassion, but he voted against the DREAM Act.
CANTOR SAID: "You know, clearly this is not, David, the best way to go about trying to control spending… We can do a lot better."
- In 2011, Cantor voted for the Budget Control Act which established the sequester. [S 365, Vote #690, 8/01/11]
- Politifact ruled that Cantor has done a "full flop" on the sequester after his previous support. [Politifact, 10/8/12]
CANTOR SAID: "We want to make sure that we're compassionate and sensitive to their plight… but the best place to begin, I think, is with the children."
- In 2010, Cantor voted against the DREAM Act. [HR 5281, Vote #625, 12/08/10]

What is Social Media Marketing?
SMM - is the process of driving traffic or attention to a brand or product via social media platforms. It's a set of measures on the use of social media as a channel for the promotion of companies and solutions to other business tasks.
SMM focuses on creating content that people will spread through social networks on their own, without the participation of the creator (share, likes). It is believed that the messages on social networks have more credits of trust among potential consumers of goods or services because people feel the engagement with each others. Also it reaches people immediately, helping to stay in contact directly. It communicates with the advisory scheme spread on social media at the expense of social relationships that underlie the interaction.
You need to have a clear, understandable strategy in this fast growing field. The Social Media become an integral part of our lives. It could help you to develop your business. So find some tips below!
1. Stay active!
You should be available within one click, so any person could reach you!
Now, people don't have much time so they don`t want to waste it! So, if there is no response- there will be no action. If you show your customers that they are important, it makes them stay with you.
Communicate! Respond to comments because it encourages users to continue the discussion. And it also gets them involved into the name of your bran. The bigger your audience, the more subscribers you will get. Provoke the audience. Think about how you can do it! Do you have any suggestions?
A great example can be found on Twitter. Look how it's done by Bill Gates
If you are not able to directly communicate with your audience, teach your team how to do it. And follow consistent rules.
2. Adjust your content.
You don't have to be on every single social media platform to be successful.
Focus on the most important ones and engage fully into engaging your audience.
Each social media website serves a slightly different purpose.. For example, Instagram audience looksfor visual content, which is pictures and short vidoes. That's why, Ecommerce focusing on clothes, traveling or food would be using Instagram as the channel to get to their target audience.
In the same time, LinkedIn tends to have a more business-focused audience looking for an in-depth piece of information on work and Facebook is oriented for personal contacts and organizing events.
Find out which platform meets your needs and use it to get to your leads.
3. Who's your audience?
Who is your customer and what does he want?
How do they live?
What interest do they have?
Gather data which helps to understand your clients better.We could get data such as: email, gender, country, referer and other. This information helps us to understand what market segment is more active and who ready to spend money.
It helps to create certain proposition or discount. If we know that our visitors come mostly from Facebook, let's create a campaign, which will be oriented for them, and automatically show up when user comes from Facebook. Having a data base of a clients or potential customers helps send them remainder and attract them again with new proposition. In the same time if your target are women so could think what you can implement to satisfy them.
4. Do blogging!
Get more subscribers with valuable information on your blog. If you provide visitors with useful and interesting information they will try to check you blog all the time. Give your social followers a reason to check your website. Blogs provide another source for the connection with your customer.
By posting topics which relevant with your market and show your knowledge. Well written articles demonstrate your company as an industry leader. Made a keywords, which will helps to find your article in web.
5. Fast sharing.
We're living in a fast-paced world. So, your content should spread fast too!
Cause everything is changing all the time! You need to be on a TOP post all the time! More repost, likes and comments! Getting popularity helps you to promote your products or service.
Nice, but how to do it?
Do you know how to make people share? Basically you need to gently ask them to do so. Definitely, you need to come up with strong headline and grap their attention, make them read, open and check your information.
Provide your readers with exclusive information, something valuable! Add pictures!
Really, it helps.
According to Social Bakers, 93 percent of the 5,000 most shared posts on Facebook last spring were photos. Only 3 percent were status updates.
6. Video and audio content is what you need.
Do you have a story of your company or product? Do it, make people feel it too. Nowadays, after watching video people become more confident in thier choose of purchase, constumer would rather watch a product video than read a product description. Demo video could be your key to success.
Provide visitors with tutorials. If you sell software, how to use it. If you sell clothes, do a fashion video, how to get a perfect look. Sometimes, there is a lack of personal interaction. Adding a video helps not to feel that customer is alone. It is very important to add videos to mobile version of a webpage.
So will you dare grab their attention on you page?
"No matter how good your current conversion rates are, they can always get better. And improving your conversion rates dramatically improve profits."Dave Lavinsky
7. The evaluation of promotion
The effectiveness of the promotion on social networks is important to learn at least to know what tools should be used, how to adjust the progress of the company and, of course, how to evaluate ROI in this method of promotion in comparison with other marketing activities.
The source of information for this evaluation should serve as monitoring data, statistics, communities and blogs, web analytics data or special marketing events.
But the number of criteria (both quantitative and qualitative, on which you can judge the effectiveness of the company) quite a lot and you need to choose the ones that meet their stated objectives. The evaluation criteria are:
- the number of subscribers;
- compliance with the portrait of the target audience;
- number of visitors to the page (or group);
- the number of actions in the network (comments, "likes", participate in promotions and contests);
- resonance and / or background information of the brand;
- quantity and quality of traffic to an external site;
- the number of target actions committed by users (go to the page contacts, registration on the website, call or online consultation, the newsletter subscription);
- the number of sales.
A final word
To sum up, let me quote Dave Lavinsky:
"Increasing Online Conversion Rates
- Social Proof: adding social proof, via customer testimonials and/or case studies, to your website virtually always increases conversions.
- Clear Contact Information: clearly showing contact information, perhaps a phone number and/or live chat options, typically increases conversions by giving visitors confidence that your company is "real" and is there to answer any questions they have.
- Credibility: Having "trust" seals, such as from the Better Business Bureau or from web security firms like Verisign, will nearly always conversions.
- Guarantees: offering a guarantee gives customers more confidence in your offering and thus generally increases conversion rates. Likewise, having a longer guarantee (e.g., 365 days vs 30 days) will generally increase conversions even more.
- Headlines: the headlines on your website pages are typically the first thing visitors read, and often compels them to read more or exit your site immediately. The right headline could dramatically increase your conversion rate. So test new headlines frequently."
So, you need to create compatible content, some video need huge investment, but in the same time you could do it simple and understandable by your own. If people write reviews, it means that you start to be visible! So information starts to circle around. Of course, great advice is not enough. You need to know how to apply it. Start with data collection to see what kind of tendencies your users have on the website. Having the tool, you know a referrer of a person.
Planning a campaign needs estimating goals. You need to have clear plan. Also decide what tool to use to collect the data. Check the time limit, when everything begins and ends. Made accurate desidions. Social Media Campaign has three phases the before, during and after. Each of these periods is highly important to the success of your campaign, and each contains a number of tasks that need to be done.
Feel free to create!
Your business idea should be more than just a work! Remember that you can do this!

They are five ideas that I think have moved humanity forward in 2006.
Youtube and the new web community
Predictions that the net was going to change everything have proved wrong - until now. So argues influential web guru Tim O'Reilly. Web 1.0 was the first phase when we used it as little more than a vast library and efficient messaging system. We surfed from website to website and sent emails to each other.
But now we are in the era of web 2.0. A new architecture is emerging, which allows people to connect with each other in revolutionary ways. Hence blogging or YouTube, where users post and exchange videos they have taken themselves The mushrooming of participative and enabling sites such as MySpace, Wikipedia, Skype, Flickr, Facebook, Second Life and so on are all part of the same trend.
This is but the precursor of web 3.0, when the architecture will become yet more sophisticated. Search engines will no longer list data; they will answer your questions. Web 3.0 will mean that the web becomes a permanent part of our consciousness, conversation and cognition. Ultimately, a chip in our brain will connect us in real time to the entire web, adding immeasurably to the power of memory.
Immortality is on its way
If web 3.0 stretches the limits of the possible, inventor, entrepreneur and author Ray Kurzweil goes into realms of apparent fantasy. Moore's law (named after George Moore, co-founder of Intel) predicts that computing power will double every year. Kurzweil pushes the logic to its conclusion; chip power is growing so exponentially that by the late 2020s there will be sufficient cheap computing power to reproduce every single minute function of the human brain. Kurzweil sounds crazy, but his track record of predictions over 20 years has been eerily accurate.
Machines and human beings, he argues, are on a convergent course. Machines will increasingly assume human characteristics and humans the facilities of machines. Kurzweil even dares to believe that via three 'ibridges' - bio-engineering, artificial intelligence and new foods - human beings will keep death at bay. Chips in our brains and bodies will freeze the ageing process and via the successors to web 3.0 ensure that everyone will be at the frontier of knowledge.
Happiness is what counts
For two or three decades, economists and philosophers have questioned whether technology and rising wealth automatically mean greater well-being. In 2006, we finally realised that we are too inattentive to what makes us happy, a crucial step forward. Happiness is about earning the esteem of others, behaving ethically, contributing selflessly to human betterment and assuaging the need to belong. We have finally understood it is not economic growth that delivers these results - it is the way we behave
David Cameron caught the mood by saying that the object of the next Tory government would be greater well-being. The Observer published Professor Richard Layard's Depression Report, arguing that because one in six of us suffers from anxiety or depression, the greatest contribution the government could make to promoting well-being is to prioritise the improvement of mental-health care.
We're independent, stupid
For more than a decade, neoconservatives and Eurosceptics have denounced every shackle on national sovereignty; 2006 was the year they lost their self-confidence. Part of the story was the unfolding disaster in Iraq; even the US began to accept that allies have uses. The news that the Iraq war would cost the US taxpayer as much as $2tn with no one to share the burden was immensely sobering. One of the central tenets of the Iraq Study Group, set up by President Bush to review the US's options in Iraq, was that the US would have to talk to Iran and Syria if it wanted to withdraw in good order from Iraq. In Britain, even Eurosceptics, like the Tory leadership and acolytes of Gordon Brown, began to make more soothing noises about the EU. Globalisation makes countries more interdependent. Perhaps, after a decade of interference, there is about to be a great leap forward.
None of this matters if we fry
Campaigners have been doughtily insisting for decades that the explosion of carbon particles in the atmosphere is associated with a rise in temperatures. But the combination of 2006 being the warmest year on record and a series of epic reports, notably Al Gore's book and film An Inconvenient Truth, meant that only conspiracy theorists could carry on believing that the Earth is not warming. It was the beautifully presented argument that began to change the minds of Americans.
There were dark arguments in 2006, among them a generalised fear of the foreign other, but the force of ideas expressed above will, I feel, carry us forward. And that is cause enough for celebration.

Crumbling connections
Lazarus didn't want to have to go. The cool body beside his was strangely comforting, as long as he didn't think about how he was hugging a walking, talking corpse. He groaned quietly as the sun began to sink below the horizon. He kissed Melissa's hair and whispered in her ear that he would be back before she could miss him. He swung his legs out of the bed and picked up a random pair of jeans and a shirt. He put these on, and packed another set of clothes, putting these aside to leave in the back of his car for the morning. The routine was so dull, so repetitive; Lazarus acted almost on auto pilot, packing the usual – food, vodka, clothes. He knew exactly where he was going. He hoped that the murderous vampire left Melissa alone while she was asleep.
In fact, he realised he was hoping the vampire would follow him into the woods. He took one last look at Melissa, alone on the bed, cold under the covers, before picking up the bag with the things he needed and heading out to the car. As he drove, he smoked half of the cigarettes left, nervous about the transformation for the first time in years. As he turned a corner, he noticed a small silhouette figure in the rear view mirror. Grimacing, Lazarus sped up slightly, slowing for each speed camera. The figure stayed in his rear view until he parked in the woods. He left his car by the marked tree and wandered off to the left, finding his way deeper into the dense woodland.
He crashed through the branches, looking for a badger set or something to keep himself busy for the night. He whimpered quietly as the wolf began to stir; the moonlight weakly shining through the leaves in the premature winter night. Damn winter. Longer nights. Stupidest season ever. He stopped, doubling over as cramps seized his body, the moon's influence strengthening. He screamed, the vocal cords in his throat burning as though someone had set him on fire. Snarling he clawed at the ground that came rushing up to greet his face. The cool, damp ground scratched at his skin as he writhed among the leaves and twigs, fighting back the wolf until he had found something to keep it busy. He didn't need to look any further.
'Ah, Melissa's little guard dog. All alone in the woods. Does it hurt, dog?' A voice over his laughed, the piercing tone cutting through Lazarus like a razor. All Lazarus could do was whine as the wolf contorted his body, ripping his human form to shreds. 'You think you can hurt me? You think you can?' his voice seemed to change angle, but Lazarus didn't see the movement, his eyes screwed up against the pain. When he next opened them, the wintery blue orbs were surrounded by a thickening coat of fur. The coarse hair sprouted unevenly through the ripping material that encased his body.
'Catch me, you oversized mongrel!' the vampire hissed in Lazarus' ear. The transformation was nearly over, the pain receding from his wolverine body, the muscles knitting together to fit his new shape. Slowly, Lazarus rose, his panting breaths frosting in the air before him. He growled as the vampire flitted around the surrounding space. He watched carefully, able to pick out the vampire's movement, able to watch every step the creature took. Seeing the vampire moving to the right, Lazarus launched himself at the space he expected the vampire to finish, but the vampire simply fell into fits of laughter, three metres from where Lazarus now stood.
'Pathetic!' he cried at the beast. He feinted to the left, testing the beast, cruelly smiling as the wolf fell for every false manoeuvre that followed it. Lazarus snarled and threw himself at the vampire as he was standing still, but fell short as he moved back out of the wolf's way.
Melissa's eyes snapped open.
'Sire.' She muttered, scrambling to get out from under the covers. The night had well and truly fallen and as she looked at the moon from the window, she no longer saw its beauty, knowing what it did to Lazarus. It didn't even occur to her to get changed as she sped out of the building, the connection to her Sire pulling her along. The trees seemed to race past her, as she ran, passing her by.
'Logan!' She screamed as she came across Lazarus and her Sire about to engage themselves in combat. The name burnt her tongue like poison. 'Stop this now!' She spat, unable to stand his arrogance any longer. He looked up momentarily. Lazarus took advantage of the gap to take a swipe at the vampire with his huge paw, the claws protruding like thick knives. The vampire deflected the attack with ease and Melissa's heart sunk a little.
'I know you want me. Then come on and get me.' She growled, 'I don't see why you won't die. Don't you realise? Nobody wants you here!' Her sire, Logan, laughed. Melissa had provoked him. He gave chase as she vanished into the woods. Lazarus followed as best he could, but the two vampires had lost him within seconds. He heard Melissa's voice cry out and a piercing shriek echoed off the trees. His ears perked and he set off as fast as he could move in the direction of the scream.
It didn't take him long to find Melissa sprawled on the ground, trying to edge away from her Sire, who was grinning, bent over her prone form. She cursed herself for not even getting changed, as her Sire moved towards her, the look in his eye betraying him. Lazarus didn't pause, letting his instincts drive him forward.
Part of him smiled triumphantly as his claws sunk into the vampire's back, piercing the creature more than once. The howl from below him widened the grin, though Melissa covered her ears, shutting her eyes against the look of agony on Logan's face. Logan snarled and tried to throw the beast off him, but Lazarus had a firm hold, dragging his claws deeper into the vampire's cold body.
'Lazarus!' Melissa shouted, moving quickly out of their way. 'Rip him apart! You need to dismantle his body to kill him!' she hoped her words would get through – she didn't have the strength to do it herself. Fortunately, some part of Lazarus had remembered this and he promptly began to tear into the vampire, crunching Logan's head between his teeth, enjoying every moment. Melissa exhaled slowly and watched her Sire dying at Lazarus' paws. She moved to a position that made her sure she could watch without getting hurt and felt the connection between her and her Sire slowly crumble.

Road workers in eastern China were given the task of widening a road in the city of Taizhou, in the Jiangsu Province. While they were digging a hole about 6 feet below the surface, they came across something completely by chance that no one was expecting to find. They hit something solid while digging and after a bit of research they realized that they had actually hit a buried tomb. not wanting to disturb or move it, they knew it was time to call in professional archeologists to unearth and reveal this mystery. After the archeologists arrived, they discovered that the chamber was over 700 years old. Luckily they documented the entire process and shared them with the world. Just wait until you see all of the pictures they took, showing the step by step removal of the tomb along with the opening of it.

Geron's hESC Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury Has Been Placed on Hold
FDA has put a clinical hold on Geron's human embryonic stem cell (hESC) therapy for spinal cord injury, because it is reviewing nonclinical animal data submitted after the IND filing. The IND covers the study of GRNOPC1 in neurologically complete, subacute spinal cord injury.
The new data submitted to the FDA was derived from studies to enable dose escalation and application of the product to other neurodegenerative diseases. The firm adds that it has also been performing additional product characterization and conducting further animal studies.
In January Geron was given the go-ahead to initiate a Phase I trial in patients with spinal cord injury. GRNOPC1 contains hESC-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells that have demonstrated remyelinating and nerve growth stimulating properties leading to restoration of function in animal models of acute spinal cord injury, the firm explains.

text: HOWELL, Mich., April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dear Shareholders As Chairman of MWW Automotive (MWWC) and one of the original founders, I felt it was time to intensify communication with our shareholders, as we are in a critical stage of the development of the company. I am impressed with the large and dedicated public following of our company and the significant daily trading volume that has developed over the last several months, if not yet at the share price that we all would like to see. All of us at MWW are extremely appreciative for the many constructive (critical) comments and votes of confidence that we have received from the majority of the MWW shareholders. At the same time I understand the frustration and concerns that exist among some of our early shareholders. Based on this and the current developments in MWW, I felt compelled and obligated to express my strong sentiment of appreciation and encouragement to the MWW investment community. At the same time, this letter should also serve as a big picture recap of our recent history and in particular, the struggles we went through over the last several years, following the onset of the automotive industry crash in the past and the subsequent global financial crisis. We may have lost a few battles during that time (who did not), but all together I believe we have succeeded in making significant progress, not only in stabilizing but also advancing the company's development on many different levels. In addition the automotive industry in general has recovered strongly and is producing some of the best results since 2008. I am confident that we will succeed in the advancement of our company to the benefit of all shareholders and that we are at the starting point on a path of solid recovery.

Rosberg fastest as three-way battle looms
By John O'Brien
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg clocked the fastest time of the day in the second free practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix on Friday in a race that appears to be shaping up as a three-way battle between Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari.
The German, who will start his 200th Formula One grand prix on Sunday, lapped the 23-turn Marina Bay Street Circuit in one minute 44.152 seconds to edge out Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
The top three finishers were separated by just 0.380 seconds on the timesheets as Rosberg's Mercedes was unable to fully tap into its superior power on the slow, tight circuit in downtown Singapore.
Rosberg has won the last two races to close the gap on championship-leading team mate Lewis Hamilton to two points and the Briton cut a frustrated figure on Friday, finishing seventh in the second session after suffering a hydraulics issue.
Mercedes have won 13 of 14 races this season but the race pace during Friday's long runs would suggest a repeat of last year's result when Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel led home Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo is entirely possible.
Australia's Ricciardo was fourth fastest on Friday, ahead of Vettel and Nico Hulkenberg in a Force India.
In the first session of the day, Verstappen and Ricciardo achieved a Red Bull one-two as the 18-year-old Dutchman lapped in one minute 45.823 seconds to head his team mate by 0.049 seconds. Vettel was next fastest, 0.464 off the pace.
Hamilton finished 0.603 seconds behind Verstappen but fifth-placed Rosberg had his session ended prematurely when he damaged his front wing after crashing late in the 90-minute session. Continued...

The filter works on all text so whether it is a person's name, the name of a page that the item is shared from, or a word within the post, the filter will grab it. Unfortunately, the filter can't identify image content – but you'll see so much less of the stuff that you're not likely to find the few that slip through as annoying.
Change your mind about a term? Just visit the settings page, remove the word from the list, click save and you're back to normal for that term.
So, whether it's a political debate that's driving you batty, some news scandal that needs to just go away, or the "next big thing" mlm/affiliate product launch… control of your news feed is in YOUR hands.

So what's going on with my teen and sleep?
Older children and teens commonly have sleep disorders that are undiagnosed and untreated. Sleep disturbances may occur in up to 30% of children and "body clock" delays may occur in more than 10% of teens. Sleep disorders range from inadequate amount of sleep and poor quality sleep to insomnia, sleepwalking, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy.
Teenagers and older children may suffer from a simple lack of sleep. Teens need between 8½ — 9¼ hours of sleep per night; children between age five and twelve require between 10 – 11 hours of nightly sleep. By comparison, adults need 7 – 9 hours of sleep per night. A household with adults teens and small children is automatically set to have conflicting sleep needs by the individual members of the family.
Teens, at puberty, begin to experience a delay in the phases of their body clocks. Because of this delay, they fall asleep later in the evening, and in turn, find it more difficult to wake up in time for school. Research shows that this delay is related to hormonal changes that are age related.
Sleep disorders for teenagers and older children can result in inability to get up on time, daytime moodiness, irritability, lack of focus and marked behavioral and learning challenges. A particular concern for teens is drowsy driving or impaired function behind the wheel of a vehicle. Some sleep disorders cause serious threats to a teenager's health, including cardiovascular and metabolic issues.
Sleep disorders arise from a variety of sources. Some of genetic predispositions, some are transitional and will go away with time, some of exacerbated by diet and environment, for example, over consumption of caffeine or excessive use of cell phones or gaming electronics. Testing may include a sleep study and treatment may be behavioral techniques, coaching for improved sleep hygiene, a customized C-PAP device to keep oxygen flowing during sleep or other strategies for improving quality and quantity of sleep.
If you teenager is experiencing persistent or extreme sleep difficulties, it's time to see a medical professional. The sleep specialists at Clayton Sleep Institute can provide the testing, diagnosis and plan of treatment your teen or older child may need—tailored specifically to him or her. Please give us a call at 314-645-5855 to schedule a sleep consultation for you and your teen.

Wembley Stadium to host Froch v Groves re-match
LONDON (Reuters) - Wembley Stadium will host the re-match between WBA and IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch and George Groves on May 31 with promoters expecting to sell more tickets than for any post-World War Two fight in Britain.
The fight will be the first staged at the new national stadium in North London, which re-opened in 2007 and seats 90,000.
"I think we have got the product to fill stadiums like this. When you get an opportunity to do so, you have to grab it with both hands," promoter Eddie Hearn told the BBC.
"This is the ultimate, in my opinion - steeped in history - and this is the first fight at the new stadium. And what a fight."
The two Britons first clashed at the Manchester Arena in November when Groves, 25, was controversially stopped by 36-year-old Froch in the ninth of 12 scheduled rounds.
Groves had floored Nottingham-based Froch in the opening round and was ahead on the judges' cards when referee Howard Foster stepped in.
"I don't want to fight in Nottingham. Nottingham's not big enough," Froch told Sky Sports news. "It only holds the best part of 30,000.
"I am just so excited that I am going to give George Groves an absolute pasting in front of such a big crowd."
The current highest attendance recorded at a British bout was 55,000 who watched local IBO light-welterweight champion Ricky Hatton take on Mexican Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester stadium in 2008. Continued...

Jekyll Island Beach Stewardship SPA Committee Presentation
This serves as notification from the Shore Protection Committee and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources of a request from the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA) to obtain a Beach Stewardship General Permit per O.C.G.A. 12-5-230 et. seq. on Jekyll Island, Glynn County, Georgia.
The goal and purpose of the proposed application is to obtain a General Permit to afford JIA and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Coastal Resources Division (GADNR/CRD) a management tool to facilitate more efficient and effective management of the dynamic, sensitive, and valuable beachfront-shoreline on Jekyll Island. Activities conducted under this General Permit would only apply to actions carried out by JIA on non-leased lands within the jurisdiction of the Shore Protection Act (SPA) seaward of the sand dunes, within the sand dunes, and landward of the sand dunes.
JIA Conservation staff will be the stewards of the General Permit and ensure activities planned and designed under the General Permit are in accordance with the scope of the General Permit and the JIA Conservation Plan. JIA staff will then provide GADNR/CRD staff project specific proposals in order to verify the proposed activity is consistent with the scope of the General Permit.
The General Permit will consist of two main categories: Natural Resource Management and Public Access. Natural Resource Management will include Vegetative Management and Localized Sand Management. Public Access will include Access Management, Signage, Management and Maintenance of Existing Public Use Facilities, and Marine Debris and Unauthorized Structure Removal.
Natural Resource Management- Vegetative Management
Vegetative Management will include the removal of invasive plant species and planting or promotion of beneficial native vegetation. The purpose and goal is to promote and/or stabilize dune growth as well as enhance habitat value for wildlife. Periodic maintenance would include using hand tools, temporary irrigation, or other targeted and controlled means, such as trimming vegetation to manage the growth and successional dynamics of plant communities. In addition, vegetative management will include non-destructive harvest of seeds from various native plants. These harvested seeds will be used only for restoration projects and other native plantings which will help ensure plant success and vitality with locally adapted genetic stock.
Natural Resource Management- Localized Sand Management
Localized Sand Management will include the use of sand fencing and dune-vegetation biomimicry in order to manage sand around beach access routes and structures, as well as promoting dune growth. Sand fencing use will be designed and installed in accordance to the GADNR Sand Fencing Guidelines. In addition, Localized Sand Management will include the collection and storing/banking of sand that has intruded upon existing permitted hardscape or mowed turf grass located landward of the sand dunes. This "nuisance sand" would be removed and stored/banked in non-jurisdictional areas to be used in future small-scale, beneficial dune protection or restoration projects. No sand will be removed from the seaward side of the sand dunes.
Public Access-Access Maintenance
The purpose and goal of Access Maintenance is to ensure access to and from the beach in a safe and ecologically sensitive manner. Maintenance of existing, permitted dune crossover structures would be included in the General Permit. Such maintenance would include the use of mechanized equipment where reasonable and justified.
In areas landward of the sand dunes, additional activities under Access Maintenance include the use of fencing to assist in controlling pedestrian access to and from existing, designated beach access routes, and trimming of vegetation that may be obstructing established, designated pedestrian and vehicular beach access routes.
In areas within the sand dunes Access Maintenance would include the use and maintenance of nonstructural components such as Mobi-Mats. Such components would be used to connect existing dune crossovers to the seaward toe of the sand dunes.
Public Access- Signage
The Signage component of the General Permit purpose and goal is to include signs that post a safety advisory or a notice of a particular ordinance. These signs will be designed, installed, and maintained in a manner that will be sustainable given the dynamics and stresses associated with exposure to the elements. Most signs will be installed either on the landward side of the sand dunes or within an existing access route through the sand dunes. However, there may be occasions of a reasonable, justified need for a sign to be located and maintained seaward of the sand dunes.
Public Access- Management and Maintenance of Existing Public Use Facilities
The Management and Maintenance of Existing Public Use Facilities component of the General Permit is limited to areas landward of the sand dunes. The purpose and goal is to afford the opportunity to perform maintenance and manage these facilities. This would include reasonable and justified activities, plantings, and placement of moveable objects within areas that are manicured park spaces and/or constructed artificial hardscapes. Examples include such things as bike racks, trashcans, or outdoor showers/wash-down areas. This would not include any expansion of existing developed-use footprints.
Public Access- Marine Debris and Unauthorized Structure Removal
The Marine Debris and Unauthorized Structure Removal component of the General Permit is limited to areas seaward of the sand dunes. Occasionally, anthropogenic marine debris is deposited, abandoned, or placed along the beachfront and can be very large and/or heavy. Such debris may pose hazards for both beach-users and wildlife, or may otherwise be incompatible with stewardship goals. Mechanized equipment may be required to address these problems, but will only be used when considered reasonable and justified. This may include removal of such things as abandoned or derelict vessels and unapproved structures.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that the project is not contrary to the public interest and that no feasible alternative sites exist. In passing upon the application for permit, the permit issuing authority shall consider the public interest which for purposes of this part shall be deemed to be the following considerations: (1) Whether or not unreasonably harmful, increased alteration of the dynamic dune field or submerged lands, or function of the sand-sharing system will be created; (2) Whether or not the granting of a permit and the completion of the applicant's proposal will unreasonably interfere with the conservation of marine life, wildlife, or other resources; and (3) Whether or not the granting of a permit and the completion of the applicant's proposal will unreasonably interfere with reasonable access by and recreational use and enjoyment of public properties impacted by the project.
A detailed public notice has been distributed and is available by visiting the Division's website: CoastalGaDNR.org under "Marsh & Shore Permits".
Please provide this office with substantive, site-specific comments as to why the proposed project should or should not proceed. Comments and questions concerning the proposed project should be submitted in writing by the close of business on April 14, 2017 to Karl Burgess, Department of Natural Resources, One Conservation Way, Brunswick, Georgia, 31520.

solar panels
I found good site for research on panels, solarpanels .com surf around in the site a 85watt panel will do a lot of work also think about 24volt as a better way to go.:D
looks like SPAM.... smells like SPAM.... hey.... It's SPAM
Nah...just incoherent.
Possibly pink, possibly jelly. But anyhoo.... Figure 6 hrs per day of realistic generating insolation, allow for panel derating so an 85 W panel is really 100W, that's still only 0.6 kWh/day, or barely enuf to run a very efficient dorm-sized fridge. Need two at least. Always glad to learn of new suppliers, esp. cut-price ones.
Except solarpanels.com's web site sucks rocks. I can't even bring up models, specs, or prices. Get all kinds of security certificate warnings. Get buttons for Real Goods and dating services. But no solar info. Gods preserve us from HTML idjits.
BTW: anyone who finds killer PV deals online -- *get a hard quote on shipping.* You may find a nasty $400 surprise tagged onto your panels, independent of their weight or wattage.

My wife and I stayed here with two other couples as part of our Coast To Coast walk.
We were met on arrival by Rob - one of the owners of this absolutely beautiful hotel. He was very welcoming and check-in for the six of us was very efficient.
The location is perfect. Right in the heart of the gorgeous village of Grasmere.
The grounds are lovely, which is where we had a drink after checking in and getting cleaned up.
Dinner was an experience. Clearly Anton (in the kitchen) and Rob (maitre d) take a great deal of pride in all aspects of their hotel and restaurant. The food was spectacular and the service was perfect. My only criticism would be that we thought Rob was a bit tough on a junior staff member who is clearly learning but still doing a great job. Such is their perfectionism.
After our evening meal, we retired to the lounge for coffee and tea, where Rob brought out a cake for one of our group who was celebrating their birthday.
Breakfast was probably the biggest and highest quality spread we had on the whole Coast to Coast walk.
The packed lunch was of a similar standard to the other meals.
Rob and Anton have renovated the entire hotel with care and pride. The lounge area and dining room were very nice. Our rooms were immaculate and the en-suites amazing. They were much larger than you would expect in a hotel of this age.
I have rated this as 5/5 but would have given it 6 if I could.
My wife and I hope to return one day to do Helvellyn and Striding Edge. It will give us a great excuse to come back and stay again (and for longer) and do some other walks in the area.

David Wessel Answers Your Tax Questions
David Wessel's recent Capital column on taxes prompted an unusually large number of comments and emails, some of which posed questions. Here are his answers to a selected few. (Some questions have been edited.)
Carl Taylor: Capital-gains taxes ignore the impact of inflation. If I start a business and sell it 10 years later for a profit of 25%, have I actually made any money on an inflation adjusted basis? (Remember that the profits that have been plowed back into the business were after tax profits.) I would potentially agree to an increase in the capital-gains tax rate if the impact of inflation on that investment was taken into consideration.
That is, indeed, one of the arguments for taxing capital gains at a lower rate than ordinary income. One wrinkle though. If I put money in the bank at 2% interest, and the inflation rate is 2%, I have zero after-tax return and I have to pay taxes on that (at ordinary income rates.) For another view, see below.

People's Pharmacy: Vitamin C doses bring fewer hives
Tue., Dec. 1, 2009, midnight
Q. My son, age 14, has suffered from chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) for five years. Several months ago, your column featured another person suffering from hives. He had success with vitamin C, so we decided to try it.
My son is now taking 1,000 mgs of vitamin C twice a day. He has been able to stop two of his three medications, Zyrtec and famotidine. With his doctor's approval, he has halved his Allegra prescription. We are so thankful!
A. We found nothing recent in the medical literature on this approach. Some research five or six decades ago suggested that vitamin C might dampen allergic reactions, but it has not been confirmed.
We are pleased to learn that your son's hives have responded so well to this approach. Please make sure his doctor is aware of his continued use of high doses of vitamin C.
Q. More than a year ago, I read about multiple home remedies for nail fungus. I've soaked my feet in vinegar and Listerine, and applied tea tree oil, Vicks VapoRub and Naftin (a topical prescription drug).
I have been diligent and even spend most of my time shoeless to let my 10 diseased dogs breathe. None of this has worked in more than a year. The filing I do every two weeks is about the only thing that keeps the nail thickness down.
Given the time I have spent on this project, I am very disillusioned to see so little difference. In summary, I have found that these remedies are the adult equivalent of catching birds by sprinkling salt on their tails.
A. Treating nail fungus can be difficult. Even prescription drugs don't work for everyone. It would be unreasonable to expect home remedies to be much more effective. You may want to have your dermatologist confirm that you are actually dealing with nail fungus and not some other condition.
Home remedies do work for some people: "I read about toenail fungus and different cures that may or may not work. I have been fighting toenail fungus for six years now. I was using prescription Penlac all this time, every day, seven days a week, with no results other than keeping it at bay.
"When I read your article about soaking the toes in vinegar and Listerine every day, I figured I had little to lose. I started soaking twice a day, and I still am. It's been three months, and all my nails have cleared up except for the big toes. Even they have nearly grown out and are looking pink and healthy. I can't thank you enough."
Q. My son is taking a product to cleanse his colon every day. He says it's working. Is there any downside?
A. We don't know what is in the product your son is taking, but often OTC colon cleansers contain senna or other harsh laxatives. When the colon occasionally needs to be cleaned, before a procedure such as a colonoscopy or surgery, the doctor prescribes a preparation that does this job very effectively.
If your son is constipated, there are better ways to address that problem. Overreliance on laxatives can lead to dependence and make matters worse. We are sending you our Guide to Constipation with recipes for Power Pudding and dynamite pumpkin bran muffins so that he will be able to stay regular safely. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $2 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (61 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. GG-30, P.O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027. It also can be downloaded for $2 from our Web site: www.peoplespharmacy.com.

Pulmonology, Kawasaki, Japan
INTRODUCTION: Tracheobronchitis caused by ulcerative colitis has been rarely documented in literature. The case reported here is unique because of similar pathologic findings observed on colonic and tracheal biopsy specimens and because of the original images observed on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS).
CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of dyspnea on exertion and hoarseness. The patient had a total colectomy for ulcerative colitis 17 years prior to our evaluation, with a strong family history of collagen vascular disease. Her mother and sister both had rheumatoid arthritis. Physical examination revealed stridor during both inspiration and expiration but it was louder during inspiration. Flow volume loop showed flattening of both inspiratory and expiratory curves, which is consistent with fixed intrathoracic obstruction. CT and MRI showed diffuse narrowing of the trachea and thickening of the mucosal tissue. Bronchoscopy revealed edematous, hypervascular and floppy vocal cords as well as diffuse friable and hemorrhagic tracheobronchial mucosa. EBUS revealed circumferential thickening of the mucosa and intact tracheobronchial cartilaginous structures. The pathological findings of the trachea showed severe inflammatory cell concentration in the sub mucosal tissue, similar to the findings found on colonic biopsy. Symptoms improved after one week of treatment with corticosteroids and Cyclosporine.
DISCUSSIONS: There are some other differential diagnoses of diffuse tracheobronchial narrowing.•Wegener granulomatosis also causes the obstruction of the central airway. Wegener granulomatosis is characterized by the systemic granulomatous inflammation and necrotizing angiitis. Our paitent had no symptom of necrotizing angiitis such as renal or nervous system disorders. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) were negative and no parenchymal lung disease was seen. Amyloidosis can be excluded on the point of clinical view because it is also a systemic disease. EBUS images•helped because mucosa was thickened circumferentially and the cartilage was normal while in relapsing polychondritis (RP) the cartilage is destroyed and the posterior membrane is normal. Rhinoscleroma or tuberculosis can cause laryngotracheitis, but the patient had no risk factor or symptoms for these infections. In our case, the patient has a medical history of ulcerative colitis. It is rare that tracheobroncitis is involved in ulcerative colitis. To us knowledge, only 12 cases have been reported previously. All reported patients had bowel disease and at least 75% patients had some respiratory symptoms such as cough, stridor or dyspnea. After comparing the tracheal apecimen with the lesected colon we noted similarities showing inliltration of the inflammatory cells around the grandular systems from pathology. Microabscesses were seen on both tracheal and colonic biopsy tissues. We started the treatment by oral prednisolone and cyclosporine. The symptoms and MRI findings exhibited improvement.
CONCLUSION: We report a unique case of ulcerative colitis with tracheobronchitis in which we found similar pathologic findings on tracheal and colonic mucosal biopsies. EBUS images helped differentiate from other diseases that cause diffuse tracheobronchial narrowing.

Thanks for all of the advice. I will let you know in another month if my refrigerator stays dry. I've included pictures of the old and new ferrule side by side so people can see the difference in size.
