Global stars including Freddie Mercury, Jay Sean, Ravi Shankar, Asha Bhosle, Anand Mahindra, Meera Syal and Amir Khan honoured at the ultimate celebration of Asian excellence
– The Asian Awards Winners Announced –
October 19, 2011, London, UK – Lebara, a world leading telecoms operator for migrant communities, was once again proud headline sponsors of the Asian Awards 2011, which honours exceptional achievements in the worldwide Asian community.

"The Asian Awards does not just recognise the outstanding achievers from Asian communities around the world, it also brings them together to create a united whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. The accomplishments of all the winners inspire millions of other people – both in Asian communities and more widely – to pursue their ambitions. These are just some of the reasons why the Asian Awards are unique and why Lebara is proud to sponsor the Awards", said Ratheesan Yoganathan, CEO, Lebara.
Lord Sebastian Coe, hosted the spectacular Awards show in aid of Save the Children, and saw former cast members of the West End show We Will Rock You perform to the 1000 world-class guests in attendance including Freddie Mercury's family and former band-mate Brian May, Anoushka Shankar, The Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Kanya King, Stuart Broad, James Caan, and many more.

"We are honoured to have been joined by so many world figures – with the support of our Chair of Judges Baroness Verma and other major personalities such as Meera Syal, Jay Sean, Asha Bhosle and Dr KP Singh, the Asian Awards were once again a spectacular success."

|Faded to the stars in 1132
Katani was an Ashalan, Daughter of Midnight, and a member of the Celestial Alliance.
Naga Edit
Some Naga had reached the Burning Sands becoming an abomination. Katani visited the Ashalan priest Mendi-Duad. She believed they were a threat for the Ashalan race, that would breed out of all proportion and overrun the world, their accursed mutability granting them dominion over all the land, in a serpent's world. Mendi-Duad saw them as lesser creatures wich would not bear a true menace. Despite his opinion Katani summoned the Council and Mendi-Duad followed her. [1]
Cursed by the Ashalan Edit
The Naga were capable of reshaping themselves to suit any environment. The Ashalan levied a curse upon them, crippling all who were shaped by this power. The Naar Teban, the Naga who entered the Burning Sands, were rendered mindless beasts, as were the creatures who ventured too far into the Ivory Kingdoms. The Naga who ventured into the sea forgot themselves and became the ningyo. Only those Naga who remained within the borders of our Empire were spared, but even then the curse of mutation visited them. [1]
Second Age Edit
Enslaved Edit
The Ashalan after the First Jinn War were enslaved by the Dark jinn, the Kaleel's Legion. The Council of Twelve refused to submit to the will of the Jinn, and they sought means to combat them. They conspired in secret, working with the most skilled humans to devise a way to fight back. [2]
The Seal Edit
Lammassar, Katani, and others ashalan worked to research a fabulous magic sigil made of light and smoke that formed a map of all known magic, later known as the Hakhim's Seal. The seal revealed that the jinn would consume everything until they were the only powers left, replacing deities of a lost age. It also offered a way to contact imprisoned Shilah, Lady Sun, directly. [2]
Day of Wrath Edit
Shilah, who had been imprisoned by his son the Jinn Lord Kaleel, had gone mad in her isolation. When she saw what had happened through the veracity of the seal unleashed the Day of Wrath. In one climactic moment, the world dissolved around the Jinn, Ashalan, and humans. Those who thrived from magic and lived were forced out of Shilah's sight. [2]
New Beginning Edit
For almost a thousand years the Ashalan had hidden from the might of Shilah, the Lady Sun, fearing another Day of Wrath and preparing for a time when they would have to pass the secrets of the Fallen Star to a new age of heroes. Katani believed this time had come. [3]
Father's death Edit
In 1130 Midnight was killed by a jinn of the Kaleel's Legion in the sewers while returning to the City of the Seventh Star. A Dahabi Merchant who was with him, Hakim Yamen, became the vessel of Madnight's soul and took proper vengeance on the jinn assassin. Hakim had the memory of Midnight, who had died to send word that the wicked Jinn Lord Kaleel would return after the prophecy called the Awakening would be fulfilled. [4]
Convening the Twelve Edit
Katani told the Ebonites also were allowed to became part of the Council. [5] To do so they had to be ensouled by an original Ashalan. [4]
Awakening Edit
In 1132 the prophecy would finally happen. She made a speech in the City of the Seventh Star. She told the time of the Ashalan in the mortal realm came to an end, and the Younger Races would be alone without the Ashalan Guidance. They would move to the stars, and a new age would begin, with new heroes. But this moment was the moment of the Ashalan. During the Night of the Seventh Stars they would spend seven hours of freedom and power, and after they passed, the Ashalan race would retire until the end of the days. [6]
Today, everything comes to task. Our time in this place is finally done. [7] At long last we are ready to leave our ancient roost, to soar amongst the gods we once were [8] To abandon this realm of humans that we have so carefully guided since the dream of known time [9] leaving them to a bold new age where new heroes can be born into the struggles ahead and where our dreams for them can be remembered [10] forever. [11]
-Katani, Speech about the Awakening
Celestial Alliance Edit
Katani decided to join the Celestial Alliance to fight Kaleel and his legion, after they roamed again the Burning Sands when they were freed during the Awakening. [12]
Citadel Assaulted Edit
An ebonite member of the Alliance, Pashal, had found the Sayel Blade, which Kaleel was eager to have. Pashal was attacked inside the Citadel of the Alliance by the jackal Monkey Man and Fatima. Only the appearance of the Quest, Lurza, avoided his death. The Citadel was assaulted by the Kaleel's Legion, and Pashal used the Crossroads to make a counterattack within the jinn's citadel. The events there led in the arrival of The Quest, who devoured Kaleel and his legion, and the travel of the Shadow-Jinn to the stars alongside Khayel. [12]
Faded to the Stars Edit
After Kaleel and his legion were defeated, Lurza told another sacrifice had to be made, and faded. The members of the Alliance began to have their forms dissolving as light to join their champion in the heavens. There the Alliance would fight his last battle against Sayel, in a place he could not harm the world. [12] A seventh star appeared in the sky, as recognition of their sacrifice. [13] It was called the Morning Star. [12]
Death Edit
In the stars every Alliance member died in the fight or was devoured by the Sayel. [12]

Report summary
On 22 May, Kurdistan sold its first cargo of oil at the port of Ceyhan. The sale went ahead without agreement between the KRG and federal government. This sale of crude will allow the KRG to begin to fulfil its financial obligations to employees and, to an extent recompense oil companies operating in the region. The start of export sales does not resolve the underlying issue of who has the right to market oil from the region and there is no guarantee that exports will continue uninterrupted.

My precious Buster,
You were such a special dog and and will forever be missed. I still cannot believe that you are not here with us. I miss everything about you from waiting at the top of steps for us when we came home to kicking you out of your 'sister's" food bowl. I can still remember taking you for car rides whether it was just down the street or two towns over. How you loved riding in the front seat and pressing that nose up to the passenger side window looking at everyone driving by. I can still see you out in the back yard fetching the tennis balls with your "brother" that your daddy would throw for hours at a time or just laying on the back deck in the sun like you so loved to do. I used to love how you would bring me your kong while I was watching tv or on the computer and lay it in my lap and wait for me to throw it to you. How I wish I would have done that more often. Thank you so much for all of your love and companionship through all the years. We will always love you, Buster and you will forever be in our hearts. We will see you again one day, sweetheart. Until then, goodbye my Buster!
All our love,
Mommy, Daddy, Joseph, Kory, Emily and Cracker and Checkers
Please sign the guestbook for Buster by clicking here

I am 47 and have just been diagnosed with FTD. I have some difficulty with my speech, as well as behavior (introverted, depressed and anxious). Within the past two months, I had a "transient amnesia" moment and went home from work, thinking all I had was a panic attack, when in actuality I got lost at my workplace (and didn't remember this until 4 days later). I have been out on short-term disability for 3 months; my workplace allows 5, then defers to long-term. I'd like to move back home to be near family. I THINK I might be able to handle work if I return in a couple of months--I'm a therapist--but I'm scared that I won't be able to handle the responsibilities, as I am not as organized as I used to be and have some memory issues.
Does anyone have experience regarding benefits? If I move home, I would have to quit my job and start work at a new place. Do I tell my new employer that I have FTD? If I start working and find that I can't keep up with responsibilities, can I apply for long-term disability with my former employer (of a different state)? Can I get SSI and still work part-time? I just don't have any clue about what resources are available to me if I quit my job that I've been with for 6 years--and has a great benefits package. Please help!

The Magnificent Churches Of Milan
Author: Steve Kevin
Milan is one of the most modern cities in Italy. It is a city famous for its shopping being home to many of the signature Italian brands such as Ferragamo, Christian Dior and Armani. In every corner in Milan, you can find a fashionable boutique that attests to the city's reputation as one of the fashion centers of the world.
On the flip side, Milan is also home to the world's greatest architectures including the oldest churches in Italy. The capital of the late Roman Empire, it stood as Italy's pride and power of the Catholic Church. You can walk around Milan and see magnificent churches that are timeless as they are beautiful.
1. The Duomo. Built in 1386, the Duomo is Milan's most popular cathedral. It is a massive Gothic structure with white marble floor and pillars. Outside, you can see impressive spires that seem to reach for the sky. Statues are also found in the exterior and frescoes cover the facade both inside and outside.
You can take the bus or train to the Duomo. If you are near the area, it would be best to take a stroll and view the equally beautiful sights along the way. The church opens at 9:00 in the morning and closes at 5:30 in the afternoon. Be sure though to wear something appropriate. No revealing clothes for the women and bags are required to be deposited at the entrance.
2. Saint Ambrose. This church is representative of the colorful and heavily ornate design of the Byzantine era. This church survived the bombing during World War II but some reconstruction was required to revive this beautiful building. It has inside some of the world's most beautiful Byzantine mosaics that can simply take your breath away.
3. Saint Mary of the Graces (Santa Maria delle Grazie). This is a World Heritage Site protected by the UNESCO and is famous for housing Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper located at the refectory in the convent of the church. Ordered by the Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milan, Santa Maria delle Grazie was started in 1469 and completed in 1490.
The convent was the first to be completed and housed Dominican friars and nuns. Later, the church was added and Ludovico Sforza, the succeeding duke decided to make the church the family's official burial ground. Today, visitors can go in and view da Vinci's masterpiece which, due to the wars that ensued, reduced the painting only to one-fourth of the original.
4. Basilica of Saint Eustorgio. The bell tower of the picturesque Basilica of Saint Eustorgio is one of its many interesting architectural aspects. Instead of the usual cross on top which marks it as a Catholic Church, the Basilica's bell tower has the form of a star which signifies the Three Magi or Kings whose tombs are enshrined here. The Basilica built in the 14th century is named after Saint Eustorgio II. It was believed that the remains of the Three Magi were discovered by Saint Helena in 314. She brought them to Constantinople and from there, Saint Eustorgio II traveled the remains to Milan.
The Portinari Chapel inside the Basilica is a striking example of Renaissance art featuring frescoes and marble sepulcher.
Where to stay in Milan
There are hotels, apartments, B&Bs and guesthouses available, check it out and make a reservation here.


text: Waiting for the next season is a bummer. To pass the time away I started looking at the draft. Lots of drat data out there and my first look says the secondary, TE, receivers, and out side the top QBs look very weak. However, I saw a tall running back (6'3") who could be a TE. I saw a 6' 242 lbs and over 1500 yds this year running back that looks like a real good feature on the Cowboys. DT are few but there are some good DE who could be converted to DT. The OL chooses are good for Tackles and some look like they could be converted to guards. First look at he draft knowing this will be very important to the Cowboys this year.

Sift 2 cups flour. Sift again with 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cream 1/2 cup butter or substitute, gradually add 1 cup sugar; cream well. Beat yolks and whites of 2 eggs separately. Add yolks to creamed mixture; mix well, then add flour and 1/2 cup milk alternately, mixing well. Fold the 2 beaten egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large frying pan. Spread 1 cup of brown sugar over pan. Add pineapple (if Sliced is used, place slices closely together on the sugar; if Crushed, simply pour in the well-drained fruit). Pour cake batter over fruit. Bake 45 minutes. [350 degrees]Turn upside-down on serving dish and garnish with maraschino cherries.Whipped cream may be spread over top."============================================= ============== QUOTE============================================= =============="First prepare the soup of your choice and pour it into a bowl. Then, take the bowl and quickly turn it upside down on the cookie tray. Lift the bowl ever so gently so that the soup retains the shape of the bowl. Gently is the key word here. Then, with the knife cut the soup down the middle into halves, then quarters, and gently reassemble the soup into a cube. Some of the soup will run off onto the cookie tray. Lift this soup up by the corners and fold slowly into a cylindrical soup staff. Place the packet in your purse or inside coat pocket, and pack off to work."Steve Martin============================================= ============== TRIVIA============================================= =============="Olives must be processed to remove the bitter glucoside oleuropein, before they are edible, so they are usually first treated with lye and then pickled. Greek olives are not treated with lye. They are strong tasting because they are just packed in dry salt, or pickled in brine for 6 to 12 months (where they undergo a process of lactic fermentation), and finally packed in fresh brine.============================================= ============== ANOTHER GREAT E-MAIL NEWSLETTER============================================= ==============Ardent Spirits is a free e-mail newsletter for anyone and everyone with an interest in cocktails, bars, bartenders, distilled spirits, and beverage-related topics.http://www.ardentspirits.com [email protected]============================================= ============== DID YOU KNOW?============================================= ==============The term 'upside down cake' wasn't used very much before the middle of the 19th century, but the style of baking probably dates back much further, probably to the Middle Ages. The early recipes for fruit upside down cakes were made in cast iron skillets on top of the stove. The classic American 'Pineapple Upside Down Cake' dates to sometime after 1903, when Jim Dole invented canned pineapple. The Hawaiian Pineapple Co. (now Dole Pineapple) held a pineapple recipe contest in 1925, judges from Fannie Farmer's School, Good Housekeeping and McCall's magazine on the judging panel. The 100 winning recipes would be published in a cookbook the following year. Over 60,000 recipes were sent in, and 2,500 of them were for Pineapple Upside Down Cake. So it is obvious that between 1903 when canned pineapple was first available, and 1925 when the contest was held, Pineapple Upside Down Cake had become a very popular item. The Hawaiian Pineapple Company ran an ad campaign in 1926 based on the fact that so many recipes for the cake had been submitted, naturally making the Pineapple Upside Down Cake even more popular.============================================= ============== WHO'S WHO IN THE CULINARY ARTS============================================= ==============Cesar Ritz (February 23, 1850 - October 26, 1918)Hotelier who managed various resort hotels, including the Grand Hotel in Monte Carlo where he met chef Auguste Escoffier. Ritz then managed the Savoy Hotel in London, with Escoffier as his chef. Eventually he opened The Ritz Hotel in Paris in 1898, and was part owner in many other hotels and restaurants, including the Carlton in London. His name became a synonym for luxury.============================================= ============== FLOWERS============================================= ==============Fresh Flowers Directly from the GrowersYou get the freshest flowers at the lowest prices when you purchase directly from the Growers!http://www.foodreference.com/html/freshflowers.html============================================= ============== RECIPES FROM READERS============================================= ==============BASIL LIME COOKIES From Kimberly2 cups sifted all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup sugar 2/3 cup softened butter or margarine1 egg1 teaspoon vanilla extract3 tablespoons fresh cinnamon basil, chopped1 tablespoon finely chopped lime peelSift first 3 ingredients; set aside.

Lea & Perrins thought the result was terrible. They sent the barrel they had made for themselves to the cellar. About 2 years later while 'spring cleaning', they came across the wooden barrel, and decided to taste it again before throwing it out. They found that the sauce had mellowed, and was delicious. They purchased the recipe from Sandys, and began to sell it commercially in 1838.During the WW II, vats of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce were stored at local pubs, causing angry scenes as locals assumed they were full of beer (which was unavailable at the time).============================================= ============== POSTERS - PRINTS - FINE ART============================================= ==============Food, Movie, Music, Sports and Fine Art PostersThe best posters at the lowest prices.http://www.culinaryposters.com============================================= ============== QUOTE============================================= =============="Wine makes a man more pleased with himself.

Using all her powers of persuasion she badgered (*) them out of four sets and very kindly sent them all the way to merry old England.
(*) her word ... would Robin Hobb sink to punning? You decide.
Anyway. Each of these sets is actually a promotion and lets you email to claim one free book from:
Mark Lawrence - Prince of Thorns
Karen Chance - Touch the Dark
Simon R Green - The Man With The Golden Torc (I've read this! It's funny!)
Chloe Neill - Some Girls Bite
So, rather than hoard them I am going to give them away. Since they are badges, let's have a badge contest. To enter simply make your own badge celebrating any book and send me a photo of you wearing it (with a close up too if it isn't sandwich board sized.
"Badge" is a fairly loose term. For our purposes it can be anything that you support with your body (but no hands).
I will give 2 of the sets away to the 2 best entries and 2 more away to 2 randomly selected entries.
Here's mine. It took me ages! AGES!
Yes, I am very serious about all this.
Send me your entries to email@example.com - title the email "Badge Contest"
I will post entries on this page and give plenty of warning before the contest closes.
#2 Angela and friend.

There is this guy I have known for quite some time. We both admitted we love each other, he said he's always liked me since high school when we didn't really talk. We've seen each other off and on because we were in college and a relationship didn't make sense at the time. If I was ever with anyone else, he'd get jealous and always worry if I was with anyone but him even if we weren't together. I thought he'd change and grow up a little, because he recently told me he wanted to be with me and regrets all the time he blew me off before. Now he is saying he still loves me and eventually wants to be with me but doesn't know what he wants right now. As 22 & 23 year olds, should I be understanding of him? Part of me feels like seeing other people then getting into something, but if you love someone shouldn't that not matter? Should I believe him?
Should I believe his reason for not wanting to be anything right now?

Playing host to the Grey Cup game was often the kiss of death for CFL teams.
Prior to 2011, only three clubs had ever won it as the host city – the 1994 B.C. Lions, '77 Montreal Alouettes and '72 Hamilton Tiger-Cats. But B.C. and the Toronto Argonauts have bucked that tradition with convincing Grey Cup victories in their home stadiums the past two seasons.
This year's Grey Cup will be played Nov. 24 at Mosaic Stadium. But recent history has convinced Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin that his team is destined to reap the benefits of home-field advantage playing the big game before its rabid fans.
"If it was guaranteed like that, then I'd start playing the 6-49 and find a pattern there," Chamblin said with a chuckle. "If I had to put a percentage on it, I'd say I've thought about that [continuing recent Grey Cup trend] maybe 1 per cent.
"I honestly think it just happens that way, I don't think guys play with any extra juice or anything like that. Now, it would be great being at our house, but I don't think about what's happened the last two years."
The 2013 season kicks off Thursday night with Winnipeg playing host to the Alouettes at Investors Group Field. The Bombers were scheduled to move into the new stadium last year but construction delays forced them to remain at Canad Inns Stadium.
The Tiger-Cats visit Toronto on Friday night to renew their long-standing rivalry. The Argonauts are scheduled to unfurl their 2012 championship banner prior to the contest.
Later on Friday, the Lions are at Calgary in a rematch of last year's West Division final won by the Stampeders.
The Edmonton Eskimos are host to Saskatchewan on Saturday to cap the opening week.
Saskatchewan last won the Grey Cup in 2007, but came close in 2009 when Damon Duval's 33-yard field goal on the final play earned Montreal a 28-27 victory. Duval had missed from 43 yards out to seemingly give the Riders a 27-25 win, but a too many men penalty gave Duval a reprieve from 10 yards closer.
The Riders will look to improve last year's 8-10 record that left them third in the conference before losing a 36-30 semi-final decision to Calgary. GM Brendan Taman took steps in that direction this off-season, signing defensive back Dwight Anderson, linebackers Rey Williams and Tristan Black and defensive linemen John Chick and Ricky Foley as free agents while trading for defensive lineman Jermaine McElveen.
But his biggest move was acquiring slotback Geroy Simon from B.C. in January. The six-foot, 198-pound Simon is the CFL's all-time receiving yards leader and needs just 29 catches to break Ben Cahoon's league mark of 1,017 career receptions.
"There's definitely a sense of excitement around here with all the additions that have been made," said Foley, the top Canadian in Toronto's 35-22 win over Calgary in the 100th Grey Cup last year. "As a veteran, I know you don't win the Grey Cup on paper and every team made moves in the off-season to put themselves in a position to win it.
"But I think it's known around the league what this team has done, the guys they've brought in and what they're trying to do and they're making that push for the hometown Cup."
Simon was a two-time Grey Cup champion and six-time all-star over 12 seasons in B.C., but missed five games last year with hamstring ailments. He finished with 54 catches for 700 yards and two TDs, the first time in 10 seasons Simon hadn't cracked the 1,000-yard receiving plateau.
Saskatchewan is counting on the 37-year-old returning to form and taking some heat off speedy Weston Dressler (94 catches, 1,206 yards, 13 TDs).
"Obviously, his on-field play speaks for itself," Taman said. "His value to our team on and off the field is going to be immense. Geroy's got some points to prove to a lot of people he still can play, so I think there's a lot of bonuses to doing it."
The addition of Simon boosts Saskatchewan's experience level, but Chamblin said a successful squad needs a blend of veteran savvy and youth.
"If I was a position coach, I'd just take the younger guy because I'd want to mould him my way," Chamblin said. "But as far as being a head coach, you've got to have a balance of both."
Getting out of the West Division won't be easy for the Riders as B.C. (league-best 13-5 record last year) and Calgary (defending conference champion) both look strong. New Edmonton GM Ed Hervey takes over a team that, despite its 7-11 record, still made the playoffs last year.
In Toronto, quarterback Ricky Ray and CFL MVP Chad Owens both return to help the Argos defend their title. But gone are defensive linemen Foley, Ron Flemons and Kevin Huntley (both released), Armondo Armstead (New England Patriots, NFL) and Adriano Belli (retired), linebackers Black and Ejiro Kuale (free agent, Montreal), defensive backs Jordan Younger (retired), Pacino Horne (released) and Evan McCollough (free agent, Hamilton) and kicker/punter Noel Prefontaine (released).
Two East Division clubs will sport new head coaches in 2013.
Kent Austin, who guided Saskatchewan to its 2007 title, returns to the CFL sidelines with Hamilton while Dan Hawkins takes over in Montreal. Austin takes over a Tiger-Cats squad that finished tied with Winnipeg with a league-worst 6-12 record.
Austin, a Grey Cup champion as a player, assistant coach and head coach, faces two big challenges with the Ticats. They're minus big-play receiver Chris Williams, who remains embroiled in a bitter contract dispute, and must play their home games in Guelph, Ont., while a new facility is being built where Ivor Wynne Stadium once stood.
The Ticats are scheduled to move into the new stadium, which will be host to the 2015 Pam American Games soccer competition, next season.
Hawkins, 52, begins his first season in Canada with huge shoes to fill. He replaces Marc Trestman, who guided Montreal to a 59-31 regular-season record and two Grey Cup titles in five years before becoming the Chicago Bears' head coach.
Fortunately for Hawkins, quarterback Anthony Calvillo, 40, returns for a 20th CFL season. Pro football's all-time passing leader flourished under Trestman, winning two Grey Cups and two CFL outstanding player awards while being named a league all-star three times over their five seasons together.
League sources say the CFL's five-year agreement with TSN/RDS is worth about $43-million annually, almost triple the existing deal that expires at season's end.
This year's 77 league games (72 regular season, four playoff and Grey Cup) will be televised. The 2014 broadcast schedule will expand to 84 contests with Ottawa's expected return.Report Typo/Error

OECD Sides With Austerity Protestors
Across Europe, protesters chafing under the yoke of austerity measures are taking a stand.
In fact, more than a million people working in education in Spain are expected to protest against austerity measures, which have slashed one-fifth of this year's education budget.
Now the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has called on EU leaders to ease the pace of austerity.
The Paris-based organization has warned that aggressive budget cuts aimed at reducing debt could suck the region into a downward spiral that would threaten the global economy.
The think-tank's economic forecast is bleak.
It predicts the eurozone's economy will shrink by 0.1% this year, and expects unemployment to hit a new record of just over 11% of the working population…

Speaking on Sunday, June 12, 2016 during a meeting with business women drawn from Kaduna South and Chikun Local Government Areas of Kaduna State, the senator said many women don't even know their representatives since 1999.
"A lot of women especially from this part of the state have distance themselves from the people they elect. They don't even know there representatives so how can there voices be heard?" Sani asked.
"Many of the business women don't even know the names of their representatives since 1999. Politics is not as dirty as you think. Politics is not all about having money to contest. If you don't have interest in politics, politics will not have interest in you," Sani said.
"Women, especially those in business must join politics," Shehu Sani said, adding, "everyone here can be a senator."
"Kaduna people in this side of the river are not politically active like the people in the other ride of the River. There is inferiority complex. Out of the people that have come to meet me on one issue or the other, 99 percent of them are from the other side of the river," Sani added.
"Some people think they can only do politics where their religion is the majority. That is not true. If you are good and you have good intention for the masses, they will love you."
"As someone who is now representing Kaduna Central, if I had said I will not contest the election because I don't have money, I won't have been a Senator. I believe in miracle. I told my friends that I will be there and I am a senator today," Sani added.
The Senator called on the women in business to be politically informed adding that it will help in their businesses.
"I am calling on all of you to form co-operatives so that your voices will be heard. My office will handle some of the demands you have brought here and other request will be forwarded to the federal government for quick intervention," Sani added.

"lovely staff"
About: Conquest Hospital Conquest Hospital St. Leonards-on-Sea TN37 7RD
Posted by Beatrix Robbins
I would like to say thank you to all the staff in the Richard Ticehurst department that looked after me when i came to the conquest for a tonsillectomy on the 22nd April 14. I was very nervous about my operation even though it was only a minor one. The staff took time to understand my fears and did what they could to answer my questions and make me feel as comfortable as possible. They were especially considerate when i mentioned my fear of needles and even offered to administer my anesthetic through a mask rather than injection. They assured me that all the needle bits would be done while i was asleep. The only things i could complain about was a bit of a break down in communication, half the staff agreed i would be anesthetized through gas and half of them proceeded as if i were to be injected. However all was resolved in the end. the other problem was a very long wait for the procedure, i was told to arrive at 8 am, and followed all instructions on not eating and drinking. so when i'd been waiting for two hours in the waiting room, i was very thirsty and hungry. i was then told that i wouldn't be seen till the early afternoon and to have a drink of water up till 10 am and to come back the hospital at 11. I didn't get seen till 1:30 pm, however i appreciate that it would be difficult to give me an exact time when there are other patients and complications to consider. Finally i was very surprised when i was told i could go home and they only gave me ibuprofen and antibiotics, i was given no painkillers and told to take paracetamol when i got home. I had to visit A&E four days later to ask to be prescribed something for my pain. i was seen very quickly and again the doctor was very friendly and helpful and provided me with a prescription for necessary painkillers. however i should have received them in the first place. Once again apart from that, lovely staff and a pleasant hospital. Thank you very much.

"Accident and Emergency department"
About: Good Hope Hospital Good Hope Hospital Sutton Coldfield B75 7RR
Posted by Charlotte
I was brought into the accident and emergency department by my husband with back pain. I would normally grin and bear it until I could get to the gp but as I am pregnant I didn't want it to get to the point where I'd need to be brought by ambulance like in the past. On arriving I found the department to be clean, tidy and well presented. From the receptionist to the Nurse and the Doctor who oversaw me everyone was kind, polite, treated me with compassion, respect and dignity. I would whole heartedly recommend this hospital to family and friends.

I just graduated University.
I don't feel that happy. I feel like a loser.
I think the reason is that I believe I have not been educated enough because my grades were not up to par (they were in my first two years where I did amazing).
But something happened, and now they're not amazing.
I feel almost like I am not that smart or educated because my grades were not that good.
I feel below average. I feel like a loser.
I was wondering if this is normal or I'm being a drama queen.

Men's swimwear styles

These European cut,quick dry swimming shorts are made of innovative fabric to provide special features and hip designs.
The brand's logo shows a seagull flying over the ocean and is a symbol of free spirit, freedom and happiness. The most desired feeling that we experience when travelling to the beach shore. Some recognize it as women's cleavage, however it was not our intention.

When I was a little girl, my grandmother taught me how to sew. She had one of the oldest manual Singer sewing machines that was a portable from the 1930s. I started with her as an apprentice at 5 years old and quickly adopted to the work. By the age of 9 I surpassed her at work and released my first fashion line which was soon after bought by Ives Saint Laurent for an undisclosed amount.
Ha Ha! This is just my sense of humour, but now let's be serious. I am Russian born, and carry an engineering degree in Metallurgy. I immigrated to Canada in the millennium, with the hope for new carrier opportunities. For a while I worked in the business sector, until finally having had my calling for fashion design, founded a swimwear company La Maison De Pascale. I had a strong calling to fulfill my long time desire to create swimwear apparel and offer something truly special for the beach traveller's wardrobe.
Over past few years, I mastered my skills through practical application by working close with exceptional people and learning from the first source. Pattern making was organic, since I became a pro in drafting large production plants and units during my student years, I embraced the precision of apparel pretty quickly. I love bright colors, simple styles and look forward to new adventures in 2017.

A decimeter is a unit of measurement. It is denoted by the symbol 'dm'. Decimeter is used to measure length. Deci is related to ten. Thus, decimeter is equal to ten centimeters. A hundred centimeters makes one meter. Thus, a centimeter is a one hundred part of a meter. So, a decimeter (10 centimeters) is one-tenth part of a meter.
According to international standards of measurement, one decimeter is equal to hundred millimeters. One centimeter equals ten millimeters. Hence, ten centimeters will be equal to hundred millimeters which is a decimeter. International system of units also states a decimeter to be equal to 100×10−6 km. One thousand meters constitute a kilometer. Thus, meter is a thousandth part of a kilometer. Hence, a decimeter will be 0.0001 part of a kilometer. One decimeter is also accepted as 1×109 Armstrong.

Q: What is current value on my two limited-edition phrenology pieces by Boehm?
A: I'm going to answer with a question of my own. Might our reader be a pharmacist, perhaps retired?
Phrenology is the old "bumps on the head" method of diagnosing mind and body illnesses. Developed by a German physician in the 1700s, it is, to put it kindly, a pseudoscience. And it was quite a fad in Victorian times.
Sculptor Edward Marshall Boehm's phrenology heads with incised lines on the skull were not limited editions. Back in the 1950s, the ivory ceramic busts about 5 inches high were handouts given to doctors and pharmacists by sales reps for the Schering Pharmaceutical Co. Made by Boehm Ceramics, the giveaways promoted Schering's new tranquilizer, Etrafon. As you can imagine, many were distributed and many still exist.
Most collectors associate Boehm (1913-1969) with finely sculpted ceramic birds and fancy porcelains given by American presidents to heads of state. Linking Boehm to phrenology heads seems farfetched, but there it is.
On www.worthpoint.com, we found several Boehm heads that sold on eBay in 2013. Results ranged from $20 to $125 each.
Q: We've had these old electric wall lights in storage for years. Can you tell us how old they are and what they're called? Each is 22 inches high and weighs 5 or 6 pounds.
A: The wall lights with brackets seen in images are electric sconces. Judging by scale, they probably came from a theater or other public building. And they were either inside or outside lights; you can see hangers where they fastened to a wall.
Made of a white metal, they are cast lanterns in the Gothic Revival style, with spikes radiating from the top for drama. Such lanterns as adornments, or even as early municipal lighting, were often seen around 1900 to 1920.
Note how the alloy sags in places. That's due to lead content and age. Originally, panes in the lantern may have held glass. Or not.
Value boils down to whatever you can get. I realize that's not what you want to read, but the pair is unique with zero to few sale results to go by. I did find a somewhat similar but smaller single light minus the bracket that sold on eBay for $159. For your pair, I suggest posting online at a price you can live with and see what happens.

What is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding, Teeth grinding can occur for most people at night, when they don't realize it is happening. It can be caused by a number of problems including TMJ, TMD or too tight jaw muscles. Sometimes it is just a bad habit you develop and it carries on into your sleep. Whatever the reason, it is extremely important to have it evaluated as soon as possible.
Bruxism can make all sorts of oral health problems. Most notably, it can grind down teeth making them wear out, and cause breakage, chipping, tooth loss or cavities and infections. It can however, also cause headaches, neck stiffness, even painful headaches or migraines, jaw clenching, or your jaw getting stuck in one position.
How can a Nightguard help my Bruxism?
Most cases of Bruxism in adults occur when they are sleeping. It is unintentional, and leads to many problems. Nightguards are available in two general forms – the over the counter kind from the drug-store, or Dr. Barney can make for you in his office. The professionally made kind is specially designed after your own mouth using your biting impression to have them made. After taking your impression and measurements, Dr. Barney will order your Nightguard from a laboratory who will personalize it for you.
Wearing a Nightguard will completely stop teeth grinding for some people, particularly those who do it at night while sleeping, and not out of habit. For many people, it cures migraines, eliminates vision problems, and of course tooth pain and degeneration.
Most of the time though Nightguard will not completely eliminate Bruxism, but will stop the teeth from being damaged, or the vibrating motion that causes headaches.
Nightguard Types
Many people will try the over-the-counter Nightguards before trying a professionally made one to save money, but this can be a big mistake. Using a store bought nightguard for serious cases of Bruxism has actually been shown to do more harm than good to oral health. Most of the time, they do not fit properly. Improper fitting nightguards can do nothing to treat your Bruxism, but it can make you feel very uncomfortable and agitated during the night. It can also prevent you from getting a proper sleep if it hurts, or if it is always popping out.
Having a professional Nightguard on the other hand, is a great way to protect your teeth from Bruxism. It perfectly fits your own mouth and will prevent any damage to your teeth during the night when your teeth grind.
Q: How do I know if I am grinding my teeth at night?
A: It is usually very obvious when you are. When you experience Bruxism in your sleep, you often wake up with headaches, neck stiffness and sometimes pain in your teeth or jaw. Making an appointment with Dr. Barney to discuss these symptoms will help you rule out whether you are dealing with teeth grinding.
Q: Can I use an OTC brand of nightguard while waiting for my own to arrive?
A: While you can, there are risks involved in using a store bought nightguard, as outlined above. If you feel you need something right away, Dr. Barney will help you with a temporary solution during the few days it takes for your nightguard to arrive.
Schedule a consultation
If you are interested in learning more about night guards for bruxism, and would like to see if you are a good candidate, call (304) 754-8803 to schedule a consultation at our office in Hedgesville, WV.
