Indigestion pills taken by millions could be the cause of food allergies, scientists claim.
They believe that by stripping the stomach of acids needed to break down food, the tablets, used to counter heartburn and indigestion, are making some people allergic to certain ingredients.
Volunteers who were given anti-acid medicine similar to over-the-counter favourites such as Rennie, Zantac and Setlers developed new food allergies during the eight-month study.
Allergic reactions can trigger results ranging from stomach pains and mild rashes to violent anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal.
Professor Erika Jensen-Jarolim, who led the research team at Vienna University, said: 'These products are very important for people with conditions such as ulcers.
'But for others - particularly those who buy them without prescription - a warning should be put on the packets.'
Prof Jensen-Jarolim's team gave ranitidine, a substance which works in the same way as indigestion pills, to 153 volunteers. A similar number were treated with placebos.
The research found many of the group taking the anti-acid substance exhibited altered immune systems, suggesting greater risk of allergies, while none of those in the placebo sample showed any change.
The findings of the study match the results of a second experiment on mice which are due to be published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology this week.
Professor Joe Collier of St George's Medical School in London said: 'This is an extremely interesting result as food allergies are such a growing concern.'
Barry Kay, professor of allergy and clinical immunology at London's Imperial College School of Medicine, added: 'This work should be taken seriously.'
But a spokesman for Roche Consumer Healthcare, which makes Rennie, said: 'We would be very surprised if acid-reducing medicines, which have been around for 60 or 70 years, are to blame for any rise in the number of food allergies.'
A spokesman for Zantac and Setlers manufacturer Glaxo-SmithKline added: 'We always look at new research and will act quickly if this is something which is causing a problem.'
The results will put further pressure on doctors already struggling with huge increases in the number of people complaining of food allergies.
The Royal College of Physicians claims the Health Service spends at least £900million a year on GP-based allergy treatments, while the record rise in the number of people requiring help is stretching the NHS to breaking point.
One in three Britons - about 18million people - suffers from some form of allergy, but an RCP report in June branded treatment services available on the NHS 'totally inadequate'.
There are just six full-time allergy clinics in Britain and leading health managers estimate a further 32 specialist doctors are needed to cope with
demand. Modern tastes for exotic foods could be exacerbating the problem as people attempt to digest compounds their bodies have never experienced before.
Experts also blame parents for making homes 'too clean', denying children's immune systems the chance to get used to bugs.

Is this the future of chicken farming? You'll never guess what they are planning now!
NewsWednesday 21 May 2014
In today's world it seems that the welfare of farm animals is getting more and more important. Which is fantastic. When you think of ways in which animals can be better treated on farms, what are the first things that come to mind? For most it is larger roaming areas or better living conditions. One thing that most certainly doesn't come to mind is a virtual reality...
Yes that's right, a new project has been conceptualised by an assistant professor in design at Iowa State University that sees chickens tricked into thinking that they're free range, while they are actually contained within small enclosures.
Let me say that one more time. This project, named "Second Livestock" would see chickens wearing virtual reality headsets to trick them into thinking that they are living in a lovely, larger, less stressful surroundings.
'Surely this cannot be real', I hear you asking. Well, it is hard to tell whether or not Austin Stewart - the brains behind the idea - is serious or not.
It seems that, whilst he is not 100% serious, this 'joke' has not been futile. Stewart created this project in order to spur more people into discussing animal welfare, whilst also taking a look into our relationship with technology. And, he also wanted to see just how many people would actually believe that researchers would intend on doing this - which seems to have been quite a lot seeing as it has been picked up by a lot of press in here in Great Britain.
However, speaking at Techcrunch, Stewart did say that he would be willing to work with anyone who is willing to offer their services in order to make it happen.
Speaking to journalist Liz Dwyer, Stewart said: "In my presentations I try to present the project with an earnestness that makes the audience question whether or not it's real.
"Most people are on the 'this is fake' side of the fence until I announce that they will be able to try out the technology behind Second Livestock in a few minutes. It is pretty great to watch the faces of the audience at this moment."
So, what do you think about this idea???

A Girl in RedMature
Rewrite of a short story from over a year ago:
The girl pulled down the hood of her red jacket, as if it could protect her from the encroaching darkness and the drunken catcalls that followed her across the street.
She was not lost. She was not lost. She was not lost.
The cold had sunk its teeth deep into her bones, and the thin slice of a crescent moon peeked over a horizon of rooftops and tangled branches.
There was no reason for her to fear the darkness, yet her pace quickened every time she found herself under another broken streetlamp. Like a moth, she fluttered from one patch of light to another, stumbling slightly over the hills and valleys of the cracked pavement. The rustle of dead leaves echoed after her in the near-silence.
She could feel something on the back of her exposed neck. The feeling of being watched.
A twig snapped behind her. She whirled around and was met with something heavy and solid.
A sharp cry escaped her, but when she stepped back, she saw that it was merely a man. Only vague features and the outline of his jaw were illuminated, but she could see his eyes clearly. His pale irises caught and reflected the lamplight in a way that turned them into disks of yellow brightness.
"Hello, little girl. And where might you be headed at this time of day?"
She flinched. She had expected a rough and gravelly voice, a frightening voice, but the stranger's words were as smooth and sweet as honey. There was no malice in his luminous eyes, though they bored into her with an intensity that left her feeling raw and defenseless.
"I'm going to my grandmother's house." She clenched and unclenched her icy fists inside her jacket pocket, "I need to deliver her medication. And… I'm lost."
"I know my way around here." He smiled. She did not know it was possible for someone could show so much teeth in a smile. "Where does she live?"
"The last house on Grove Street." she answered. The streetlight above them flickered. The drunken laughter of the men still echoed in the distance.
"That's only a few blocks away. Just turn right when you reach Cerise Street." A heavy hand fell on her shoulder, and he turned her bodily towards the right direction. "Go on," The hand pushed at her, and she stumbled forwards a few steps, "Have a safe journey."
"Wait," She turned around, "Are you sure-"
There was no one behind her.
As she stared into the empty street, she could still feel the weight of his palm on her shoulder, and his piercing yellow gaze.
There must've been a turn that she missed, a street sign that was lost in the darkness. By the time she had finally found her bearings, the moon had risen halfway into the sky.
Her grandmother's house stood before her, its windows dark and cobwebbed. With numb fingers, she retrieved the key from under the doormat, but when she attempted to fit it in the lock, she found that the door was already ajar.
The stench of mildew and rotting wood rose to greet her as always, and this time the sharp scent of rust accompanied it. The house offered no shelter from the cold, and the wind seeped through the crevasses of the ancient walls.
But that didn't matter for now. She had decided to finish the rest of her errands tomorrow morning. A walk home in the dark was a lesser evil than a night spent on the floor of this dilapidated shack. She tossed the bottles of medication on the kitchen table and turned to leave.
A heavy thump came from the bedroom. And then a hoarse voice, "Come here, darling."
"Grandma, I'm going home. I'll be back in the morning."
Instead of a response, a fit of wet coughing came from the bedroom, followed by a noise that shouldn't be coming out of any human.
She picked her way through the cramped and cluttered hallway. There was a new, dark stain on one of the walls, as stain that she'll have to clean up, sooner or later. The bedroom door still refused to open more than halfway, but she managed to slip through the narrow opening.
The room was shrouded in darkness, except for the weak patch of moonlight that streamed through the open window.
She moved to turn the lights , but instead of a switch, her fingers found a gaping hole in the wall.
No one responded. The house was silent except for the creaks and groans of the old walls and the howling of the wind as it blew through a crack in the window.
Her instincts wanted to drag her screaming out of the house, but she couldn't help moving closer to the bed.
She hadn't noticed her hands were shaking until she reached for the lamp on the bedside table. It took a moment for her to grasp the chain and pull.
Light flooded the room, and she immediately wished she had stayed in the darkness.
There were heavy stains of dark red on the walls, mangled remains scattered across the floor, and a terrible face... Was it even a face? The amalgam of teeth and fur that awaited her on the bed was not anything that should exist in this world. Jagged edges of what was supposed to be a mouth stretched open, and a voice as smooth and sweet as poisoned honey spoke to her.
"What big eyes you have, my dear."
She stumbled backwards, her fingers scrabbling against the door. Her hand touched something stringy and viscid clinging to the doorknob.
She finally screamed.
The misshapen figure rising out from the bed was neither man nor beast. It was made of spines that were tearing through bloodstained bedsheets. It was of barbs and serrated shadows, exposed bones and matted fur. It was two pinpoints of yellow brightness that held her gaze in a vice-like grip.
All her will was being torn away from her, limb by frozen limb. She could not run. She could not hide from that excruciating gaze that tore into her shuddering soul. She could only watch in horrified silence as it clawed its way towards her.
Its jaws opened impossibly wide, and its hot rancid breath scorched her face . Rows of dripping teeth stretched before her and she could not scream. She could not scream as her bones twisted and snapped, as her skin peeled back and her flesh was turned into ribbons, as the room became awash in red.
At least she will never scream again.

Costume ShoppingMature
Chapter Five
Evan Harrison
My phone buzzed with a new text as I began to start up the car. I glanced at it and glanced outside. Maybe the girls would think to buy their own ice cream as well,just in case this stuff got completely ruined. I started up the car and drove a few streets until I found the shop I was looking for. I knew the costume would be cheap and tacky. But if Erik had wanted something better he should've gotten it more in advance. Then again I wasn't exactly doing a lot myself. Simple cape, fake blood and fangs were the extent of my outfit at the moment. I had no doubt the girls would've put much more thought into their costumes and look kick ass. The tag along was a complete mystery to me so I wasn't going to speculate.
I walked into the shop and waved to the bored girl behind the counter. She studied me for a minute before turning back to her magazine. I've had worse rejections though so I shrugged and walked further into the shop. It wasn't hard to find the Halloween stuff and I looked around. I saw white face paint and grabbed that for myself. I noticed the sparkles on the same shelf and ignored those, I wasn't being a twilight vampire.
I found the werewolf costumes and grabbed the male package then paused. There were also female one. They were, of course, slightly slutty. I hoped the girls hadn't gone down that route with their costumes. I kind of lost respect for girls who threw themselves in your line of vision. But the expression on Erik's face when he realised what he'd have to wear would be way too good. I could deal with the insults for a few weeks. And if he didn't wear it, he'd never hear the end of it from Tayla. I approached the counter and quickly handed over the money. Then broke the speed limit a little to get back home.
"Did you get it?" I heard the moment I opened the door.
"Help unpack the bags first and then I'll hand it over," I replied, dumping the stuff on the kitchen floor. Erik had finished decorating the place and it looked half decent. He pouted from the sofa, where some generic Halloween movie was already playing on the TV.
"Slave-driver," he muttered before standing up to help. I tried not to grin or laugh as we worked.

The homes in the area are privately owned and are rarely rented or occupied, except over major holiday periods. New outdoor furniture in 2016, as well as an outside gas fire pit complete the outdoor amenities.
Two separate living room areas, each with their own fireplaces and flat screen TV's allow for large groups to spread out. All three bedrooms and all three bathrooms are layed out for maximum efficiency. The master bedroom has one king bed with a private bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a single trundle pullout. The third bedroom has a queen bed with another single trundle pullout. There is a pullout sofa bed in the TV entertainment room; which also features a fireplace. There is another pullout sofa bed in the main living room; which features a fireplace.
The free, town operated, shuttle bus service runs every 15 minutes within 100 yards of the Lodge; and allows guests to come and go all day long on their own schedule. Digital keyless entry allows for more convenience.
It is not unusual to see moose, bear, fox, deer, and raccoons; right outside the door or from the deck. Guests can easily make day trips to Vail, Aspen, Keystone, Beaver Creek, Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, Steamboat Springs, Crested Butte, and Copper Mountain; but there is so much terrain and variety at Breckenridge, Ski Area, that most guests do not wander too far.
Comcast Xfinity WiFi Internet, new in 2016, with speeds of up to 100Mbps provide exceptional internet speeds for large groups, throughout the lodge; and allow for Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV high speed downloads.
Smart-Eco thermostats by Nest, manage temperature zones individually; while integrated smoke and CO2 detectors by Nest provide for added safety.
We have been snowboarding in Colorado at Vail, Aspen, Keystone, and Breckenridge since 2008; and have purchase our own home after enjoying many winter and summer vacations in the friendly and accessible town of Breckenridge; which has a very active, year round social community.
Scott McMullen purchased this lodge in 2015
This property is in an ideal location with great mountain sunrise views and sits atop a secluded meadow and pond. It gives our friends, family, and guests unique and easy access to our favorite areas of the Breckenridge Ski Resort at Peaks 6, 7, and 8; while allowing us to snowboard and ski at other areas nearby on our annual Epic Pass. It also allows us easy and reliable Breck Free Ride Bus service into town during the day and in the evenings, without having to take our own car.
This home is close to the mountain for winter or summer activities, yet close enough to town to walk. It is also within a two minute walk to the free shuttle service; yet it is situated on a private road with secluded views.
The historic gold mining town of Breckenridge was incorporated in 1859; and the quaint and fun little town is now home to art exhibitions, a summer concert series, ski and snowboarding competitions, an international winter ice sculpting competition; and dozens of other year round exhibitions and activities.
Mountain Meadow Lodge has ski in access from the Peak 8 Four O'Clock Run and ski out access on the same run to the Snowflake Chairlift which takes you to the top of the novice area at Peak 8; where you can choose between five chairlifts and the Gondola to move you around the mountain quickly. The Lodge is also within a two minute walk to the Ski Hill Road bus stop at the Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Center; with bus service that runs every 15 minutes for the 2 minute ride to the base of Peak 8, or the 2 minute ride to the base of Peak 7, or the 5 minute ride into the town of Breckenridge.
Although Breckenridge is famous for its incredible ski season which runs from November to April; the Summit County area is also an all year playground for mountain biking, rafting, zip lining, golf, hiking, and even summer dogsledding. Snowboarding at Arapahoe Basin in bikinis and outrageous costumes takes place in July and is more about drinking and live bands than anything else.
Gold mining towns of Leadville and Steamboat Springs, are easy day trips and the historic Durango & Silverton Railway trip is an unforgettable summer experience. White water rafting at Buena Vista is less than a two hour drive from "Breck" as it is known by the locals. Mountain Meadow Lodge is the perfect location from which to launch your countless Summit County adventures.
Hi Scott -
We have arrived. A few hours late due to the winter storms but we are happy to have so much snow! Skiing has been fantastic and beautiful! The house is gorgeous and perfect for our family. We've figured out the FreeRide system and appreciate the tip of leaving our skis and boots at BreckSports. So easy! The kids had a fantastic day at ski school yesterday. Very professional and fun. We must also say thank you to Colorado Express, great recommendation. The key pad is a great idea. Getting keys or key card from another location at 1:45 am would not have been ideal after all our delays! Thanks again and we are thoroughly enjoying our stay!
We will put garbage out this am. Thanks for the reminder and great organization in the house! Very easy to figure everything out.
Thanks again,
Ben & Michelle
Ps the Christmas tress is beautiful! The kids were thrilled!

We saw a moose in the backyard within 10 minutes of checking in. Very good setup with two separate living quarters. Would be great for two families or a larger group. Has every kitchen utensil you could ask for. Grill on the deck is great and a gas fire pit on the deck is very nice to have also. The owner is very nice to work with as the hot tub went down and he had it repaired and operational within hours. Overall the place is great. The free bus is less than a 5 minute walk and if you're feeling lazy you can call ski Uber for $16 door to slopes. You can't go wrong with this property and if your looking forward to seeing wildlife this is the best place for that.
Really lovely property in a nice quiet location close to the slopes and a 5/10 minute drive into town. Really well fitted out house with ski and boot storage. Ski out involves a 5/10 minute uphill walk but is definitely better than drive/park/gondola alternative. Ski in is dependent on conditions. Otherwise it's a 10 minute walk down a road. Again preferable to alternatives. Would definitely rent this property again.
We booked the Mountain meadow lodge for ten days hoping to catch some much needed rest and witness the turning of the leaves as Co welcomed the fall season... Our only regret was to not have booked a longer stay.
The owners made the process very easy and we felt welcomed even before we stepped foot into the Meadow lodge.
The organization is impeccable, the house is easy to settle into and the "smart house" works for everyone from age 4 to "no limit".
We loved every aspect of our stay at the house, the lodge is incredible and the location is phenomenal, we parked the car and were able to enjoy all kinds of hikes directly from house, a short walk (literally 3 minutes) to the bus stop and the options open up, either up to catch the Gondolas or down for a short ride to the town center.
Good weather and you will find yourself enjoying a bbq and a soak in the hot tub, bad weather and the entertainment center at the house is there for an evening of Television or a fun time with all the toys and games provided by the owners... you love nature, just grab your coffee in the morning and wait for the Moose to come along, tired of the Moose? just wait a little longer and the white tail fox will come to pay his respects...
We loved it, we recommend it, we will return...
Overall the place was great! Rooms were nice, Foosball was fun, easy to get into town. Good stuff!
Perfect house for my family's stay over the 4th of July week in Breckenridge. House was very well stocked and is more impressive than the pictures show. Scott was a great host frequently checking in and addressing small issues. Great location as you feel deep in the woods but its only a nice 20 minute walk down to town or 5 minute drive. A ton of great extras like a wildlife alert that lets you know when the moose are out back. Our favorite part was the huge deck space with the hot tub, firepit, and plenty of seating for the entire family. We'll definitely be back!
Our family of 5 spent a wonderful week skiing and relaxing in this terrific home. The furniture was very comfortable, the house was clean, well maintained, and equipped with the basic necessities prior to our arrival; it had just about everything we needed, down to the extra boxes of tissues in the cupboards and the printer in the home office. We only needed to stock the fridge - no running to the store to buy dish detergent at the last minute. Wifi and Netflix were a plus, and the boot room/garage with the underfloor heating had a foosball table and offered extra play space for the kids. Location was great - although not on the slopes, it was still an easy walk to/from the slopes - very close to the Nordic Center, and a short ride to town. We had a midnight flight back to DC and Scott went above and beyond and accommodated our request for a later check out time, which was ideal as it gave some of us an extra ski day and the rest of us were able to use the fab hot tub one last time while watching the foxes play in the snow below us. It was truly one of the most accommodating holiday rental homes we have stayed in. Highly recommend! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
The Lodge is set at the edge of a private, protected meadow with a small natural pond that attracts moose, deer, fox, and bear.

So obviously I was thoroughly looking forward to my Saturday night out with the soccerati, which began in the Box Holders Bar at White Hart Lane after a famous 4-0 victory in the cup by the Cockerels over, um, Stockport County.
I'm not sure why but, of all the London clubs, Spurs seems to attract the most sophisticated VIPs. While Arsenal can field a strongish line-up of literary middleweights, TV types and record-shop owners, and Chelsea has a respectable, but slightly superannuated squad of Sixties celebs, King's Road swingers and 'classy' Continentals, your typical Spurs box-goer seems to be a thirty-something, Hampstead-dwelling, Prada-wearing member of the Groucho Club.
Before heading Soho-wards, though, the Tottenham trendsters - almost as many females as males - stop for a drink in the large, relatively smart (for a football club) and buzzy bar provided for the sole use of box holders and their guests.
(Entry requirements: successfully sweet-talk an existing holder or, if you have the moolah, simply hire a box yourself.) And it's quite a scene, not dissimilar to a post-fashion-show party or a first night at the Hampstead Theatre. You air-kiss, review the highlights, try to meet the stars, schmooze, arrange to rendezvous, and then move on to your next destination, which in our case was Teatro, the private members' bar/public restaurant owned by ex-Arsenal and West Ham striker Lee Chapman.
I honestly don't know what these soccer stars are playing at nowadays, but the clearly understood rule always used to be that when a player hung up his boots, he bought a bar in Malaga (called Strikerz!), or a roadhouse in Surrey (also called Strikerz!), drank all the profits, and then went bust after two years. It's tradition. But Mr Chapman obviously doesn't understand how these things are done: instead, he's got all his celeb mates involved (including Becks and Posh, who dine here on occasion) and turned Teatro into a successful and slick - if slightly soulless - operation.
Disappointingly, there weren't any footballers in sight on our visit, but the cocktails and service were tiptop and the restaurant looked a swishly contemporary affair. We didn't dine there, however, because we were saving ourselves for the more promisingly named Friends, the Italian restaurant owned by footballer Roberto Di Matteo.
Surely a place with a name like that would have the signed photos, the glass case of international caps, the karaoke singing of the old-fashioned soccer player's establishment?
Not a bit of it. For a start, Di Matteo is Italian and he plays for Chelsea, a club where, notoriously, the competition among players to demonstrate social and cultural sophistication is only marginally less intense than that between Frasier and Niles Crane. Which is why it was probably unforgivable of me, on sitting down, to ask, in the manner of a proper soccer player, for 'Steak and chips, mate. None of your foreign muck for me!'
Once that incident had been glossed over, we enjoyed genuine Florentine trattoria cucina of a standard far above your typical high-street pizza joint. The pizzas were excellent, we had very good gnocchi with seafood, and some good veal. It was reasonably priced, too: the buffet - a superior offering with langoustine, Parma ham and some excellent cheeses from Italy ? was only £9.50 for a generous plateful. Friends comes highly recommended and we left for Titanic in fine fettle.
Gordon Ramsay, the ex-Rangers player, not Marco Pierre White, really should have opened Titanic, the footballers' hang-out par excellence. Whatever, this vast, posey, upmarket disco-cum-pulling-joint clearly works for soap stars, suburbanites on special nights out (there were two or three hen-night parties when we were there) and, of course, soccer players - including that day's two goal-scorers plus three other members of the Tottenham Hotspur team.
While it's only fair to say that the Spurs players behaved conservatively and beautifully throughout, I'm sorry to report that your correspondent, his photographer and his girlfriend were, atypically, entirely incoherent and dance-happy with drink by this stage of the evening. Unlike your average footballer, we obviously don't get out enough.

Glass plate negative portrait of a small child eating in a feeding chair on a rug, most likely taken by studio photographer, Robert William Harvie.
This image may depict one of Mr Harvie's daughters or nephews, however, the identity of the child is unclear. The photograph appears to have been taken in a studio and therefore may have been taken in Mr Harvie's photography studio, Harvie & Sutcliffe. See MM 043240 for a similar glass negative.
Robert Harvie was a professional photographer who, with his business partner Albert Sutcliffe, owned a photography studio named Harvie & Sutcliffe between 1898 and 1908, located in the Cromwell Buildings, 366a Bourke Street, corner of Bourke and Elizabeth Streets, Melbourne.
The Harvie Collection includes examples of Robert Harvie's private and professional photographic practice. A number of the photographs depict the family life of four generations of the Harvie family, including the Lang family.
The Harvie and Lang families had social significance in Melbourne through their active involvement in early Australian vegetarian movements, early moving film, photography and architecture, as well as various other cultural societies and clubs in Melbourne.
Description of Content
A double exposure of two images of a small child seated in a feeding chair playing with cutlery, presumably taken in a studio in front of a white background. The child is dressed in a white long sleeved dress, white socks and black shoes and a small rug at their feet.
Physical Description
Glass plate negative, black and white, landscape format. Two exposures.

The photograph appears to have been taken in a studio and therefore may have been taken in Mr Harvie's photography studio, Harvie & Sutcliffe, located in the Cromwell Buildings, 366a Bourke Street, Melbourne, however it is unclear if the photograph was taken at this address.

Five UC Track and Field Student-Athletes Competing in Nationals
June 19, 2013
CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati track and field teams have five student-athletes competing at the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. The meet, hosted by Greater Des Moines and Drake University, will take place at Drake Stadium, which hosted the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2010. The meet serves as the selection event to represent Team USA at the IAAF World Championships August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia.
On the men's side, senior Terrence Somerville is set to compete Saturday, June 22 at 3:10 p.m. in the first round of the 110-meter hurdles. Just before the NCAA Championships, Somerville was named U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Great Lakes Region Track Athlete of the Year. He also set the school record at the BIG EAST Championships with a time of 13.41 and followed this performance by breaking his own record, speeding to a 13.37 finish in the NCAA East Preliminary.
Four freshmen on the women's team will also compete in the U.S Junior Championships June 19-23. The top finishers will represent Team USA in Medellin, Columbia August 23-25.
In the field events, Alyssa McBride will compete in the pole vault, while Erika Hurd will battle in the high jump. McBride had a personal best vault of 4.00 meters at the All Ohio Championships and placed third at the meet. Hurd also had a successful outdoor season, placing first at the University of South Florida Collegiate Invitational with a personal best jump of 1.78 meters.
In the track events, Kenya Woodall will race in the 400-meter dash, while Javette Lee will compete in the 100-meter hurdles. Woodall set her personal best at the UCF in the 400 at the University of Central Florida Invitational with a time 54.71. Lee's 110-meter hurdles time of 13.97 at the Louisville Twighlight marked personal best.

E.J. Thomas Hall
Since 1973, The University of Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall has been the center of Akron's performing arts scene. The three-level facility, which occupies three acres of The University of Akron campus, boasts a massive, 44-ton movable ceiling that can shift to enclose the first or second levels. The position of the ceiling has a dramatic effect on the hall's volume and acoustics, so it is controlled by a computer precisely managing 27 counterweights. The hall's ability to transform from an intimate one-level performance space to a vast three-level concert hall allows it to host performances of a variety of sizes and styles by university students and faculty as well as the Akron Symphony Orchestra, the Tuesday Musical Association, the Children's Concert Society, and the Akron Youth Symphony.

An explanationMature
Chapter Seven: An explanation
"You're shitting me aren't you? What where those things, the archons, aliens? What about magic, that's just a myth, you must mean something like psychic powers or I don't know..."
He chuckled heartily before taking another sip of his drink. "That's the scientific paradigm for you, boy. Aliens and psychics sure but as soon as you bring out the supernatural people freak out and think it's some kind of joke or trick or that there's a rational explanation behind it all."
He took out another glass and pour some of the alcohol in it before handing it to me. "That'll probably make the story easier to digest." He said before nodding at the couch.
"Aren't you a teacher, I don't think you should be influencing minors." I suggested, sitting down meekly wondering if I'd gone crazy.
"Shut up, nobody's watching." He snickered out. "Alright where to begin..." He pondered, sitting on his chair and looking back at his ear for a second. "Oh right; Everything you know about the world is wrong and it's the manufactured lies created by a centuries old conspiracy. How's that for a start?" I just shallowed my saliva and sipped the bourbon, the alcohol biting my tongue.
"Now, listen to me. There are some people on earth who have powers, it's not something that passes along in the blood, it's something that all of us have but only a fraction of us ever break free of the chains that hold us down to open the pandora box.
This little trick is called magic, not it's not some psychic powers or something scientific, it's us accessing the inherent divinity in all of us. Some of us, like me, study for years until they finally find it. Some, like you, simply unlock it during some traumatizing event of their lives.
Suddenly, we're pushed into a world of crazy that doesn't make sense to us anymore, it's a frightening ordeal but there's always someone there to assist us to push forward into the darkness and the light hidden within it. That being has a lots of names; Christian folks will call it your guardian angel, Hindu will call it the atman, pagans will call it the spirit guide or your totem spirit. Sometimes it's a being, human, animal or otherwise, sometimes it's a presence of a recurring meme across the pattern of our lives.
Most of the time, it's invisible buried deep within you mind and heart. But when you need it, it'll make it presence known, inspiring you into a new discovery or giving you the power you need in desperate times.
A few hours ago, when those things surrounded you, something happened, there was a little something that just clicked and you probably didn't do it intentionally, it just flew naturally from you.
You coalesced your will and inner power and used magic, without even knowing it you cast a spell that destroyed the lesser archons. Do you understand?"
"It's kind of hard to swallow." I replied. "But now I think about it, it explains some of the oddest events in my life..."
"What you did, what called thaumaturgy; miracle working. It's one of the things magicians can do."
"What else can I do and how? It just happened by accident."
"That, is what I'm here for."

Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother threatened at gunpoint
A little over a year after she was abducted at gunpoint in Maryland, Violet Ripken, Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother, was threatened by a handgun-wielding man again.
TMZ Sports reports that Vi Ripken was confronted by a man with a handgun as she exited an NBRS bank Tuesday. The man demanded her car, at which point she pressed the panic alarm on her vehicle. The man fled, and was later apprehended by the police.
Ripken's mother was unharmed during the exchange, according to TMZ's report. Last July, Vi Ripken was abducted from her home by a man with a gun and was found uninjured 23 hours later in her vehicle.

An Old Friend
The flight into Rillwynn was uneventful, although, Deadrick couldn't help but remember the things he knew about the Elves and their mysterious homeland.
They were the only race the dragons kept in contact with after the first war of Kandrakah, the closest ancestors to the first race to inhabit Kandrakah, 'the perfect ones'. They rarely ventured from their homeland, and didn't interfere with the wars of men.
Their homeland was protected by an enchanted border, through which only people who meant no harm to its inhabitants could enter. Should one try to cross it with malice in mind, their souls would be ripped from their bodies and left to burn in the lands of the dead.
Even though he knew that he would be fine, the crossing over still made him feel uneasy.
"We can't just drop it straight into the middle of them," Nerui said, "They may be my family, but they may just kill us on sight,"
"Charming," Danyel mumbled.
"If we put it down a few metres away, they'll send a scout or two to find out who we are," Nerui continued, "Okay, over there!"
Nerui pointed to a space between two tall, winding trees with colourful hanging vines. Deadrick carefully manoeuvred the ship between them, and Nerui dampened the flame.
The Ghost of The Inquisitor shuddered as the ship scraped along a thick tree trunk, before moving away and slowly descending to the floor.
Deadrick went to climb over the side to the ladder.
"Wait…" Danyel said, Deadrick stopped, his foot on the first rung. He shot a look at Danyel.
"What?" He asked.
"Well, the last time we landed in the middle of a forest clearing, we got surrounded by a pack of werewolves," Danyel explained. Bruad narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be stupid, the forests of Rillwynn are a tranquil place, and my home-" Nerui was interrupted by a whistle- the whistle of a spray of arrows that struck the dragonhead, splintering small chunks away.
Danyel looked a Nerui with a satisfied grin as there came a yell from the trees.
"You!" A voice came, followed by the sound of hooves.
Into the clearing rode four Elves riding graceful, horse like creatures, with long, powerful and agile legs. And silver haired tails that whipped the air around them. They each wielded hand made bows, with arrows aimed squarely at Deadrick.
"Who are you?" The Elf that had spoken before demanded, "Speak quickly or die,"
Deadrick stepped off of the ladder, watched closely by the hawk like eyes of the Elves. Before he could speak, Nerui leant over the side of the ship.
"Niath… sei meriel Nerui!" She yelled in Elven to the elf.
The Elf looked up, cocking his head slightly.
"Nerui? Nerui!" The Elf smiled, he jumped from his mount and ran to the ladder, Nerui climbed down and threw herself into his arms. He looked incredible in stature to her, Elf women were all very slight, but the males averaged about seven foot tall, with great, toned limbs. They were a very beautiful race.
"Deileyn... sanathi haithi merline!" The elf said happily.
"Merline… merline haithi," Nerui replied.
Deadrick was entirely fluent in Elven, and understood everything that Nerui and Niath were saying, but he waited for Nerui to remember that he was still there to do anything.
She turned to him and smiled.
"Deadrick- everybody, this is Niath. We were good friends when I was a child," She said, glee in her voice.
Niath stepped forward and bowed his head to Deadrick, who watched him carefully. He was a tall man, but the Elves were much taller- he didn't like things that were more imposing than him.
"We need help, Niath," Nerui told him.
Niath nodded.
"You have been gone a long time, Nerui, the clan has gone through much trouble and strife since you departed. Do not expect it to be the way you remember it," Niath explained.
"I understand," Nerui replied.
With that, Niath climbed onto his mount and ordered two of the other riders to go ahead to the camp. They rode away, disappearing into the trees.
"The camp is a short journey through the trees, this way,"

Helios Underwriting, which provides investors with a limited liability direct investment into the Lloyd's insurance market, has used a fully collateralised quota share reinsurance contract to release capital, allowing it to seek new opportunities.
The deal means that some 20 percent of the company's 2014 exposure has been ceded to reinsurers. This is in addition to a 50 percent reinsurance cover, which increases reinsurance cover to 70 percent and broadens the base of the company's reinsurance providers.
The arrangement, with Everest Re and Guernsey insurer Polygon Insurance via a special purpose vehicle, contributes £2.6 million to the company's funds at Lloyd's (20 percent of the company's regulatory capital requirement), the majority of which will immediately release corresponding group resources for reinvestment in new opportunities.
Nigel Hanbury, Helios chief executive, said: "These transactions present HUW with further capital with which to fund near-term opportunities the company wishes to pursue and does so on advantageous commercial terms. Current market conditions continue to present the company with attractive investment opportunities which require funding. The reinsurance terms provide both a profit commission in good underwriting years and a reduced risk exposure."

flashbacks are italicized. :D
anyway. this is my advance valentine's day gift for everyone. please read and review. it's just a one shot, but please please give it a try. i need your feedback.
disclaimer: i own nothing. :(
summary: the worst pain. the worst memory. our memories. if i just realized it before it's too late. ExB
info: ex-girlfriend because edwasid is single here and they broke up years ago. just read the story to understand. :]
Pain. A feeling too strong to ignore, too noticeable to deny. How do you live life along with pain? Is there anything that can cure this? Can you escape from it?
I walked at the shore, reminiscing the past. Everytime I thought of them, it just kills me inside. I didn't know that one person can change my life. I didn't know how much it would cost me to choose something my mind wants. Giving up your heart's desire is the best kind of suicide.
"Edward." my ex-girlfriend slowly walked. I opened my arms to catch her. When I looked at her face, I saw her red and puffy eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did someone hurt you? What happened?" my overprotective hormones kicked in. I don't want anyone hurting my girl, and my best friend. Just best friend.
"N-N-No. I don't want to die yet. No!" she whimpered on my chest.
"What? What do you mean?" I was confused. Die? My ex-girlfriend is young, beautiful with maroon eyes and black hair. She's about 5ft. 9 with a body of an athlete.
"Edward. I'm dying. I am sick. I need another heart. This heart." she placed my hand on her chest, just above her heart. "This heart is weak. I'm going to die."
That day, my mind gave me a hard time. I wanted to cry, I wanted to let everything out, but there were just no tears. If there are no tears, is this really love? The last time I cried before knowing that my ex-girlfriend is sick was when Bella, my best friend, had her summer with her mom, Renee.
"Bella. Why can't you just stay here for the summer?" I asked with my head down, I couldn't bear see her face now.
"Edward. I'm sorry. Mom needs me there to babysit her twins. It's just the summer. I'm coming back." she cupped my face with her hands. She's smiling sadly at me with her tear-stained face. She wiped my tears too.
"I'm sorry. I'm overacting." I hugged her, feeling her warm body against mine. We stayed like that for a moment.
"I'm coming back." She tiptoed to kiss my forehead.
I let a tear fall as I remember her. Why did she always have to be self sacrificing? Why does she always have to prioritize the happiness of others before herself? The memory of the time when she met my ex-girlfriend is still fresh. I knew she's hurting, but my mind is too happy that's why I ignored her.
We're waiting in front of a small restaurant. Bella is beautiful as always, her green dress hugging her curves perfectly. I was fidgeting every now and then. What is she hates me? What if she cancels?
"Edward. Stop walking. You know she'll love you." Bella said. She's just standing at the corner, looking at something far away outside.
"I know. I'm just nervous." I stopped in front of her. She looked at me with dead eyes. They are void of emotions.
"Don't be." I saw a small hint of sadness before she put her attention on my tie, arranging it. "You look perfect. Now go and make the move."
"Thank you. I don't know what to do without you."
I knew she's a terrible liar. After knowing her for almost my whole life, I could read her every move, every emotion. It's like we're linked with a crazy connection and that we could exist in a world with just the two of us. I never missed any tear she had shed, just once.
"Oh. Edward. What are you doing here?" Bella asked as she opened her dorm room. Today is her birthday, but unfortunately, I had a date.
"I just came here to say happy birthday and I'm sorry if I can't be with you because I have a date." I gave her my present, a stuffed toy she loved a lot.
"Thank you. Now go to your date." She kissed my cheek, and closed the door. She thought I didn't notice her body starting to shake as the door closed. I sighed heavily, walking away with guilt because of not being with my best friend on her birthday and making her cry, not even having the chance to wipe them.
I brought the stuff toy along with me everytime I walk to this familiar path. This always reminds me of her. It still has her smell. It's been a part of her, and I'm glad that I gave it to her. Like this thing, Bella is always with me, through good times or bad times.
I got detention today. My first. It's all because of Mike Newton trying to hit on Bella. What part of the sentence ' Don't even try because I will not accept. ' can' he understand? Well, typical Mike. When did he use his mind to understand things? Bella was sitting beside me today. She just decided to stay.
"You shouldn't have punched him. Now your clean record has gone to waste." She shrugged as she placed her forehead at the top of the table.
"I have to. When did he even understand that you won't go on a date with him?" I leaned back on the chair.
"You don't have to worry now okay? I'm here, far away from them."
"Of course. At least you're here safe with me."
We've spent lots of times together. She's always near, just in arm's reach. How I missed those times when I could still hold on to her. She's always the supportive one, the only person who couls see light in the darkness.
The application from my ex-girlfriend's hospital would arrive today. I decided to stay with her today. I pulled Bella and the group along because I'm too scared. Beside me, Bella's nervously looking at the clock.
"You're shaking Bells." I pointed out.
"Well, I'm just nervous for her, that's all." We let the subject drop. Minutes later, the letter arrived. My ex-girlfriend opened it and squealed.
"I'm going to live!" she shouted. For the first time since I had a relationship with her, Bella smiled a real time. I saw happiness in her eyes as tears started to flow from them, but at the same time, sadness shadowed them.
"Congratulations." She hugged my ex-girlfriend as she hugged her back.
That day was sure a big one for us. We laughed, we cried, we got angry. It's a great bonding day. We spent the day at the park, the mall, and the beach side. But among all those places, the most remarkable one Bella and I went on to was at the bookstore.
Bella was busy picking random books from the shelf. I was doing the same, just a little faster than her. She's reading at the summaries of the books, maybe getting ideas from them. Bella is a talented story writer.
"Edward?" she called me.
"What are you going to feel if you learned that someone you cared for is about to die?" she asked me. I was not surprised by the question. I've been through that situation just hours ago.
"I would be devastated. I didn't want people I love slipping away in my life." I answered.
"What if you don't know that someone you cared for is about to die, and one day someone just tells you about it?" I was quite taken back by her question.
"I would go crazy, especially if that person is the most important one in my life." I looked at her, and she nodded her head.
"My mom asked me to visit her again." she said. There is an odd silence between us until I responded.
That's the worst reply I'd given her. In my whole life, I never answered her with just a simple okay. I didn't know that my answer will greatly affect my life.
"Flight to Phoenix Arizona please proceed inside now." the announcer said over the speaker. Everyone had said goodbye to Bella already. I looked at her and tapped her shoulder.
"When are you coming back?" I asked. That question is playing in my mind all over again since last night. I was really bothered by her leaving, and I don't know why.
"I don't know if I'm coming back." She didn't face me and started to walk, but I reached her hand just on time.
"I don't know if I'm coming back Edward." She placed a letter on my hand. "Read this when your girlfriend returns." She kissed my cheek as a tear rolled down her cheek. I wiped them, not knowing it would be the last time I could do it.
"Goodbye Edward." She kissed my cheek and walked away. Little did I know it would be the last time I'm going to see her.
The operation was a success. My ex-girlfriend's body accepted the heart. Doctors said the heart is strong. She just needs a little rest and some visits to the doctor for the month then she's free. They told them that she'll live a long life, and that she's lucky because of the heart. She returned, and that's the only time I learned everything.
My ex-girlfriend walked at the living room. Everyone's waiting for her there. I knew they're happy, but all of their faces are fallen. Esme, Rose, and Alice looked like they're about to cry any minute. Emmett and Jasper aren't fooling around, just comforting their girls. Carlisle looks tired and sad, like he just made a big mistake. The doorbell rang, and I opened the door.
"Hey. I missed you." I hugged my ex-girlfriend, but she didn't hug me back.
"What's wrong?" I asked. She seemed fine.
"Nothing. Come." She entered inside and dragged me slowly to where my family is. As soon as she released me, the girls bursted into tears. Emmett and Jasper carried Rose and Alice in their room. Esme just sobbed in Carlisle's shoulder while he softly rubbed her back.
"Edward. I'm sorry. I have to break this up. This is the most stupid thing I've done." she balled her hand. I tried to stop her, but she shoved my hand away.
"Just read the letter. Okay?" She kissed me at the cheek. "Goodbye Edward. I'm sorry. So sorry." she ran away quickly out of the house. I followed what she said and went to my room to read the letter.
Dear Edward,
I'm sorry if I didn't inform you sooner. I know you're going to hate me for doing this. I want you to be happy, I want you to spend your life with someone you love. I know I'm just your best friend and I can't do anything.
By the time you're reading this, I'm long gone. Even if you hire a search party to look for me, you won't find me. I'll be at the morgue maybe, and I won't see you again. I would never have the chance to open my eyes again and stare at your eyes.
I want to say sorry for not being honest with you. I know it's too late, but I want you to know how much I love you. I sound silly; falling in love with my best friend isn't the best thing I could do. I'm always there Edward, by your side. I'm always waiting for you. I feel stupid; it's pretty obvious that your attention is for her only.I shouldn't have.
I didn't really had a vacation with my mom. I was the heart donor of your girlfriend. Even though I won't have the chance, I want the others to see you with her staying together, getting married, and having a family of your own. I gave up my life knowing that there's nothing I could do to make this life of mine better. I gave her my heart because I want to share something good.
Edward, live a happy life. Never forget to thank for every second on your life. There are things in this world we can't control, and my decision is one of them. I know one day, we'll meet again. Just live your life and have fun. Don't worry, I'll always be watching you.
I love you.
I still have the letter right now. It's one thing I read when everything seems to be on the wrong place. The letter gives me comfort; it's just like before, Bella is there to be with me. Why does it have to be so late? I realized I've fallen in love with her, but it's too late.
Every family member is done with their messages. Renee is crying all along, while Charlie tried to be strong. My sister and Rose cried, so did my mom, dad, Emmett, and Jasper. The last person they're waiting for is me. I stood up, and walked slowly in front.
"Bella." I took a deep breath."Bella is one person who made my day. When everything is down, she always finds a way to raise me up. She's there when I'm unsure of my feelings, when all I want to do is cry, when I'm in need. She's one person I lean on to. I want her to be here, to say to me everything's going to be fine.
"At first I was mad when she told me that she's unsure of coming back. I want to tell her to stay, but I can't. I've never felt so helpless in my life before. It's just her that makes me strong. The onl one who helps me push through.
"When I've found out about the truth, I-I-I-" I paused because my chest feels so heavy. "I don't know what to do, how to feel. I never thought that she'll do that. Then I realized the worst thing: I'm in love with her for a long time and I didn't have the chance to tell her.
"I-I-I love you Bella. So much." I reached for her open casket and held on her soft but icy cold hands. "Why did you have to leave me?"
That's the last time I've held on her. I didn't have my first kiss, I didn't have another best friend. I'm already 35, a world renouned pianist, but I would never feel the same thing, the same love and happiness I've felt when Bella is still here. Since that day, I became numb, and I died. I would never feel alive again, but I still hope.
Bella told me that we'll meet again and that she's watching me. Who knows? That day might be near.

I know this may sound like a bit of a standard question (I'm new to the BMW scene) but I'm looking to upgrade the suspenion on my 328i.
My initial thought was to get a set of coilovers, I've heard Hot Tuning do a kit for under £200.. is this correct and if so why are they so cheap? Surely they must have some floors being this price?
My second thought was to just upgrade the shocks and springs all round. Maybe a 60/40 drop? If so, whats the choice?
Thanks in advance
