A Guangdong-Hongkong Creative Cultural Community
Transcribed and translated from a Chinese speech byChan Koon-chung
I was born in Shanghai, but have no memories of the place. Indeed my earliest memories begin in Hong Kong. I lived in Hong Kong since I was a child, and all the way into my adulthood. I have always felt close to Cantonese culture, thanks to my domestic helper, who came from Panyu, and also to the old black and white Cantonese films.
Today's topic is the cultural imaginary of the Pearl River Delta.
First let me give you an analogy. It will help us understand the cultural relationship between important cities on this Delta: Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
In the 19th Century, Shanghai was like today's Shenzhen. It had no cultural identity of its own. At that time Shanghai was a part of the Wu dialect cultural zone, yet the centre of that cultural zone was in Suzhou. Although the Shanghainese dialect was already widely spoken, the Shanghai novel A Chronicle of Flowers in the Sea was written in standard Wu dialect. That says so much about the situation.
In the 1870s, the early years of the Guangzu period, foreign trade had taken place in Shanghai for twenty years. Suddenly anything from Beijing was considered trendy in Shanghai. Commodities from Beijing and Beijing fashion became very popular. It was brought about by the success of a form of xiqu (Chinese opera). Sixty years after the Hui opera troupes entered Beijing to play in celebration of the Emperor's birthday, a new form had been formed. It had been playing for a little more than two decades by the 1870s. People called it erhuang, xipi, pihuang, or even luantan, literally the "vulgar" opera. There was no unified way to call it in Beijing. Musically it was a mixture of kun opera and other regional innovations. Its orchestra included the strings, wind instruments and a percussion section. In Shanghai it was referred to as Beijing [Peking] opera. Shanghai people fell in love with it. Even when high-class prostitutes looked for lovers, they went for Beijing opera players as their first choice. Beijing opera troupes became more popular than kun opera troupes from Suzhou, the majority of which excelled in singing accompanied by the string section. Musically, Shanghai people now preferred erhuang tunes used in Beijng opera to the arias of Suzhou story-telling, which had previously been loved by the Shanghai people for a great many years.
Some American scholars looked at this as Shanghai's cultural challenge for Suzhou.
That was a process in which Shanghai, without its own cultural identity to start with, absorbed elements from the regional Wu culture, Beijing culture of the political centre of Qing Dynasty and the imported foreign cultures, and created something for itself. It was a process of negotiation, competition, transformation and acculturation. Shanghai made use of all these cultural elements and gave birth to its own brand of cultural hybridity.
There was a key issue: Shanghai did not have its own culture at the beginning. But once it became an economic centre, things changed. It has developed into something much more than a major city of cultural consumption. By the early 20th Century, Shanghai had become the place where almost all cultural entities had to go through for further development and dissemination, because Shanghai was the city in which books, newspapers, magazines, films and music were produced. Shanghai's economy had taken off, its cultural identity became well-defined. It became the cultural centre of the nation.
Shanghai's and Beijing's status of being the national cultural centre was changing all the time. The development of Beijing opera is the best demonstration of this:
In the few years immediately after Emperor Tongzhi's death, xiqu performance was banned by the Court. The only thing for Beijing opera players to do was to move to the concession zones in other port cities to make a living. Shanghai became the main market for Beijing opera. In the last years of Qing Dynasty, players in Beijing complaint that "good artists can barely made a living; those who are not as good cannot make ends meet." Therefore many of them looked upon Shanghai as the other centre outside the capital. They believed that "only when one has made it in Shanghai, he has really made it." Mei Lanfang reminisced in his memoir Forty Years on Stage, "My first performance in Shanghai was the most important turn I have made in my entire stage career … Everything was making advancement in the Shanghai theatres. They were already making their way to a new direction in the theatre." After he went back to Beijing, he pioneered "modern plays in ancient costumes", which created "a new shock wave in Beijing opera" (as described by Ouyang Yuqian). Obviously, there was some tension between this new trend and the traditional practice. It was also in Shanghai when this innovation of Mei was first recognised as a distinctive "Mei School".
In 1927, the Central Government of the Chinese Republic was established in Nanjing. Beijing (literally the North Capital) was renamed Beiping (literally the "pacified" northern city). Some records of the time describe Beijing as "a city in decline. Its prosperity is no more to be seen. The number of performance has dropped. The only way for famous artists to make money was to go on tour. A tour to Tianjin can bring an income enough for them to live on for half a year. A tour to Shanghai brings an income to last them for a whole year."
Surely, with such an overwhelming popularity, Beijing opera was also taking root in Shanghai. Shanghai people were developing their own Beijing opera. At first they were called the Southern School and did not receive as much respect. Then talents emerged. A good example was Zhou Xinfang. He merged Chinese and Western theatrical techniques in his performances, and built these on the conventions established by old masters. This resulted in a hybrid form of total theatre, often identified as the Zhou School of Shanghai style of Beijing opera. This was particularly popular among the common folks and young intellectuals.
Since 1949, the Central Government has been stationed in Beijing. The national cultural centre followed political powers and moved back to Beijing, and so did the centre of Beijing opera. Some critics observe that since the 1950s, Shanghai styles of Beijing opera have declined and Shanghai troupes have been playing in styles increasingly similar to Beijing styles. But this is yet another issue.
What does the story of Shanghai and Beijing opera tell us? I would like to draw your attention to three facts and a personal opinion of mine: 1. Cultural centres are mobile rather than fixed. 2. Cultural identity is not already formed and stable. It is constantly in the process of constructing and merging with foreign elements. It is changing all the time. It needs to be re-imagined and re-defined all the time. It is true for Shanghai culture. It is also true for Beijing culture. 3. The status of being the cultural centre and the cultural identity of a place are both affected by its political and economic power. Economic centres are often centres of cultural consumption. Often they are also centres of cultural production and dissemination. My personal opinion is: Outstanding talents such as Mei Lanfang and Zhou Xinfang facilitate historical developments of certain phenomena.
These three facts and one personal opinion are indeed applicable to Hong Kong. Guangzhou is an important historic city. It started trading with the West since the 16th Century. It was already a sophisticated major city in southern China long before Hong Kong was developed. Hong Kong was not taken seriously by some British colonials even after it was ceded to Britain. But not long after that, in 1876 it was said among Chinese critics that since the rise of Hong Kong, four important Chinese cities had declined. It was followed by the comment that since the rise of Shanghai, Hong Kong had declined. There was a report in an English newspaper that the British merchants in Shanghai felt superior to the British merchants in Hong Kong. British firms in Hong Kong started new companies in Shanghai and focused on their business there. I do not think that Hong Kong had taken over Shanghai in terms of their economic status before 1949. Chinese culture in Hong Kong has already been closely related to Guangdong culture. The three major streams of Guangdong culture, namely Guangzhou (Canton), Chao-San (Chaozhou and Hoklo) and Hakka, have infiltrated deeply into the daily life of Hong Kong. Cantonese opera called themselves Guangzhou-Hongkong troupes, identifying themselves with these two cities in the south and north of the Pearl River Delta. The imaginary of a common cultural community of Guangzhou and Hong Kong was going very strongly in the last Century during the early Republic years. Possibly Guangzhou was still ahead of Hong Kong, since it was the stronger partner in terms of Cantonese culture. During the war with Japan, Hong Kong became the gathering point of the literati and cultural workers. But it only lasted for a short time with the beginning of the Pacific War.
Changes began to take place after 1949. The imaginary of a common cultural community of Guangzhou and Hong Kong did not disappear altogether, but it was much less prominent. Gradually Hong Kong developed into a regional economic centre, as well as a centre for cultural production. Even Cantonese opera and the Lingnan School of Chinese painting found sanctuary in Hong Kong and Macao. For example, Gao Jianfu, one of the most important masters of the Lingnan School, migrated to Macao in 1949 before he died there in 1951.
Hong Kong culture after 1949 was a hybrid entity merging different elements together. It was based on traditional Chinese culture, especially the indigenous Cantonese culture. It took in influences of the colonial English-language culture, contemporary national culture centering in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and also of world cultures. The influence of cross-national cultures that flooded in after WWII was particularly significant. A unique hybrid culture with distinctive Hong Kong characteristics emerged. Popular music in Hong Kong has developed its own unique style of arrangement, lyrics and delivery. Some are even accompanied by Chinese instruments. This hybrid music has achieved a very unique style and has gained the label of "cantopop".
During the years of China's economic reform and opening up, Hong Kong popular music, films and TV soap operas had dominated the region for a very long time. The programmes of TVB, a Hong Kong television channel, had engaged 90% of the television audience. But Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta have taken advantage of the economic reform and been strengthening their economic power as well as cultural production. Now Hong Kong TV programmes only engage about half of the audience over there. Although they still dominate reception, it is experiencing a long-term decline. A dual-centres scenario is resuming.
One can see that the status and relationship of Guangzhou and Hong Kong also need to be re-imagined and re-presented every now and then. We have come to such a time again, because there is now anxiety on both sides: the wonderful old story of Hong Kong has been told and finished without a new one ready to come in place; the story of Guangzhou being the pioneer of reform has also turned into cliché; Shenzhen even starts to ask who have abandoned them. Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are asking the same question: what is the next climax? One potential framework is the idea of a Region of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao . Some people prefer to think about a Greater Pearl River Delta, some a Pan-Pearl River Delta. I propose to an entity call Guangdong-Hongkong- Macao. I will talk about the details for such a region in the rest of this paper.
Pearl River Delta today is a continuous built-up region of cities and towns. One easily feels the impulse for the imaginary of a regional community. For the time being, Pearl River Delta has only inspired the imaginary of an economic zone, with certain implications on the possibility of some form of administrative coordination. A cultural imaginary for the region is yet to construct. Can a region have its own cultural identity to facilitate a cultural imaginary of its own? I think so. Silicon Valley in the U.S. is an example of this. It is a production region, and also the general name for a loosely coordinated administration zone. It has developed its own culture and inspired the imagination in people all over the world.
There is one point worth notice: if there is a central city in Silicon Valley, it should be San Francisco which is located at the northern tip of Silicon Valley. However strong the cultural identity of Silicon Valley is, there is no way it can overwhelm the distinctive identity of San Francisco. The two identities are distinct. There is a regional identity, and there is an identity of the city. The two co-exist on a long-term basis. When we talk about Pearl River Delta, it is not necessary to eliminate the cultural identities of Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Macao. When Pearl River Delta becomes the theme of the new story, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Macao will still need to tell their own stories. Among these three places, Macao has already found out how to start its own new story, and how to develop the brand name of the city.
There is another similarity in the comparison. Apart from San Francisco, San Jose in the southern tip of Silicon Valley also claims to be the capitol city of Silicon Valley. Although San Jose is trying very hard to find its own cultural identity by building its own sports centres, theatres and museums, it still lags a long way behind San Francisco. Many people go to San Jose, but only to watch matches or to repair their cars. At best San Jose is a tourist city for carnivals.
Can an economic zone accommodate two or even more cultural cities? I do not think there is a definite yes or a definite no. Guangzhou and Hong Kong already share much of their cultural content in an intimate past. Now there are their own advantages to think about. The question is not whether these two cultural centres can co-exist, but in what way they complement each other.
If we change some of the signs and extend our imagination a bit, we might be able to think about Guangdong instead of Guangzhou as a part of the common community. Instead of talking about Guangzhou-Hongkong-Macao, we could be talking about Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao. This region is small than southern China, or Lingnan (south of the Ridges), or Pan-Pearl River Delta, or even the Guangdong-Guangxi Provinces. But it is bigger than the Greater Pearl River Delta. If in our mind we envelop Pearl River Delta with an even greater imaginary called Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao, we will gain extra room in our imagination, because this entity has a more profound cultural content, more intimate shared history, and existing administrative structures to support this imaginary.
Why don't we simply do our own things? What is the point of imagining a Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao community? One must bear in mind that the population of such a community is similar to the total population of the two Korea added up together, and larger than that of Britain, or France, or Germany. The GDP in this region is two and a half times of that of the Yangtze River Delta. As one single unit it is the Chinese region that has come closest to being a developed region. It is estimated that the average income per capita of Shenzhen will reach US$20,000 in 2020. This region now needs discourses and imaginations that go beyond the purely economic ones such as being the factory of the world, or representing shops at the front supported by manufacturing plants at the back, or having a boost in the GDP. At this stage, its production needs upgrading, the added value of its service industries needs to be raised. Moreover, its consumption pattern needs to change. More emphasis needs to be put on internal consumption of high-value good. The people demand their living standard to be improved. They are expected their rights to be fulfilled. This region is entering the stage of information economy, or even experience economy. It needs to develop human resources, social resources and cultural resources. In other words, the region has reached the stage of economic growth in which the singular economic thinking in the past is no longer enough. It needs much consideration on cultural value of the society. Creativity in the broad sense has to be put on the agenda in order to inspire new imaginations, or new visions, as in the title of this Guangzhou Triennale: the Imagination Beyond. We need to go beyond a singular economic imagination, to imagine beyond what is happening at present. Even for the economic imaginary of the region, we need to emphasise that this is a place where talents outside the region are welcomed, and that it is a friendly place for immigrants to create a career for themselves. Such imaginary is already proved valid in reality.
There are other "imaginations beyond" we should take seriously at this moment. Some of them are listed as follows:
1. An imaginary of a common community of ecological sustainability: This region is not only the factory of the world. It does not only represent shops at the front supported by manufactory plants at the back. We are an ecological common community because pollution recognizes no borders.
2. An imaginary of a highly livable common community: This should be a region where people settle happily. It should be a safe place to live in. Transportation should be well-organised and traffic smoothly flowing. The supply of high-quality local fresh produce should be reliable. No toxic vegetable or toxic fish is tolerated. There is no place for commodity piracy. There should be no low-quality architecture or unnecessary urban sprawling into the countryside.
3. An imaginary of a harmonious and just civic common community: Social security, the rule of law and good administration should be ensured. Corruption and the gap between the rich and the poor should be narrowed down.
4. An imaginary of a creative cultural common community: This is an insightful vision. It is also ambitious. This is to say that if Korea can do it, the region of Guangdong-Hongkong-Macao can do it on our own, without having to mobilize help from the entire country. The first task is to put into good organization the structure, policy and production chain of cultural creative industries of the three places. In time, this region will accomplished in its creative industries what Korea, Britain, France and Germany have achieved as nations. But there is one condition for this: Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have to form a commonculturalcommunity.
There is already the precedent of economic zones. We should seek to create cultural zones before regional administration system emerges.
Once a region has established itself as a cultural centre, a unique local cultural identity will emerge from the process of exchange and transformation.
To end this paper, I will make a few more comments on creative industries: I have written elsewhere on the room for collaboration of the creative industries of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. I will not repeat myself here. In short, the three places complement each other considerably.
However, like many things in China, to accomplish them you need government policies to back you up. I stress that creative industries in Guangdong and Hong Kong can become huge. They can consolidate the internal market of the region itself. They can also take in the national market. After this, they can reach out to do export. But the critical point is in Guangdong. All depends on whether the system and policy in Guangdong follow the scientific rules of development. To ensure this, we need the long-term commitment of the Central Government in a practice that has already been proved to be working miracles: To designate Guangdong as the trial place and pioneer of creative industries by implementing special policies there. The Governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong should collaborate to persuade the Central Government to abolish border control for creative industries between Guangdong and Hong Kong, so that the two places can facilitate flow and establish a common community in terms of their creative enterprises, capital, human resources, production chain, contents and markets. In such a way, economies of scale can be achieved. When two strong players forge a partnership, they will become even more competitive in the market.
At the same time, talents among the cultural workers of the three places can open up another space in the imaginary of their own habitat. They can draw a new mental map and assume a new cultural identity that goes beyond what we see today. We might start eradicating the psychological barrier we feel for the other two places because of the geographical distance and administrative difference between us. In this way, we can really construct, in the midst of competition, exchange and transformation, a common community of creative culture between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

The spread of infectious agents through the mail has concerned public health officials for 5 centuries. The dissemination of anthrax spores in the US mail in 2001 was a recent example. In 1901, two medical journals reported outbreaks of smallpox presumably introduced by letters contaminated with variola viruses. The stability and infectivity of the smallpox virus are reviewed from both a historical (anecdotal) perspective and modern virologic studies. Bubonic plague was the contagious disease that led to quarantines as early as the 14th century in port cities in southern Europe. Later, smallpox, cholera, typhus, and yellow fever were recognized as also warranting quarantine measures. Initially, attempts were made to decontaminate all goods imported from pestilential areas, particularly mail. Disinfection of mail was largely abandoned in the early 20th century with newer knowledge about the spread and stability of these 5 infectious agents.

British Rowers Bring a Touch of Gold to the ORC
12 | 8 | 2016
Fresh from winning gold in the men's four at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, British rowing Olympians Constantine Louloudis, Mohamed Sbihi and Alex Gregory stopped by the Olympians Reunion Centre by EY on Friday to celebrate with friends and family.
Speaking about his gold medal winning performance, Louloudis, said:
"It's just incredible. Four years of hard work summed up in six minutes, which puts you incredibly on edge at the start and makes it hard to perform but we got the best out of ourselves today. To get the win, to notch up another victory for Team GB in this event, that's five in a row, to join a pantheon of greats like Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent in some small way, is just the best thing a person in this sport can ask for."
Commenting on the Olympians Reunion centre, which overlooks Lagoa Stadium and the Olympic rowing venue Louloudis added:
"It's fantastic, it's great to have the family here, great to have this place and what a view!"
The Olympians Reunion Centre also welcomed Olympian Katherine Grainger, Britain's most decorated female Olympian, who picked up silver in the women's pair on Thursday at her fifth Olympic Games, to the ORC. Grainger added her name to the growing number of Olympians who have signed the Olympians wall.

With just 12 weeks before the Regent Street Christmas lights switch on, we thought we'd share our favourite Top 10 Christmas campaigns we've been involved in.
27 August 2015
Flagship build and 12 store roll-out. The ice cave was realised in a mix of mediums to create depth of layers, such as a glitter vinyl applied directly to the glass, illuminated shapes and free-standing 3D white card pyramids. These were anchored to two hand carved foam structures and enhanced with a strong element of texture and light.
A silver birch and gold leaf forest for 12 Watches of Switzerland stores included a paper white fox and gold metal Phoenix. We carved out nests in the trunks and added LED lights to showcase the watches.
Swinging mannequins on chandeliers and 2m tall champagne towers captured the spirit of the Hackett Christmas party windows. We designed, produced and installed the Flagship windows and 12 stores across Europe.
We were asked to create a faceted, lit, 3D backdrop for M&S Christmas. This was produced in the UK for their top 12 stores and in China for a further 54 countries, 293 stores or 858 windows.
Inspired by the monochrome AW13 collection we produced a rough plasterboard backdrop complete with inset lights running across the full length of the window. We bleached and dyed over 40kg of feathers to finish the display with a very decadent feel.
Working with Matt Setchell, we produced an interactive window installation at Selfridges London to promote the Nokia Lumia 820. A technological forest created with white acrylic trees, edged with LED. Phones attached to LED drops and mirrored walls to create an infinity of light. Onlookers were asked to Tweet @Nokia_Uk #Switch to illuminate and interact with the window.
Giant 3D 'PARTY' letters cut from MDF and faced in red mirrored acrylic created the platform for the window mannequins in their flagship store.
For OASIS' Perfect Christmas we burnt the turkey, knocked over the Christmas tree and ate far too many sprouts in 39 stores across UK, Ireland, Sweden & Germany.
Bespoke metal train carriages of the Mapping & Webb Express with station clocks created the facade for the three flagship stores, each with internal silver chromed animated trains transporting diamond rings. Internal train carriages were produced for another ten stores nationally.
6 oversized neon jackets were produced for the Uniqlo Colour flagship stores in London, Paris and Berlin. We installed thousands of coloured baubles and produced bespoke 3D printed sculpture displays.

Watch Buffalo Bills Youtube Sensation Alex Tanney Nail Ridiculous Trick-shots
If the Buffalo Bills free agent signing, Alex Tanney is half as impressive on the field as he is in his Youtube video, there may be a huge quarterback controversy in Buffalo and it may usher in a new era of scouting via Youtube. The Monmouth College quarterback's trickshot video blew up on Youtube, with over 1.7 Million veiws, showing him nailing a throw through a window and into a moving truck, a 60 yard throw off the the uprights, into a garbage can, a full court throw into three basketball nets and some ridiculous rebound trick shots that you just have to see to believe.

Arctic Update!
Fairbanks in the Winter It is almost the end of January, how does that happen!? I thought I would send a little note out now that the holidays are behind us! Christmas and New Years were very low key events with a few close friends here in Fairbanks, but enjoyed thoroughly. Since the New Year, I have taken the time to go about a photo tour of Fairbanks and thought I would share some of my favorite shots with you
all. Most are simply nice shots of areas of my new home (above and right hand side bar), but I think my favorite excursion was one I took to a landmark that lies about 40 miles outside Fairbanks: Skinny Dicks Halfway-Inn. Yepp. You read that right. It used to be an actual Inn, but now is mostly a place to stop on your way out of town and grab a drink as well as quite a few photo opts (below). ENJOY!
Vol. 1 issue 3
To Have Finally Met Sarah… So, as most of you know, our lovely ex-governor, Mrs. Sarah Palin came out with a book. Well…My neighbor's mom sent him a copy, and when we learned (on a Tuesday) that she would be in Wasilla on Wednesday signing books, we knew it was a place we had to be. Now, Wasilla is about a 5 ½ hour drive from Fairbanks. So we packed up after work that night, drove down to Anchorage (about an hour south of Wasilla), stayed with friends, got up super early the next morning drove back to North to Wasilla, and commenced waiting in line for about 3 hours. Look at the excitement on my face. We passed the time listening to how much others in line REALLY loved her, and reading excerpts of her book aloud to each other. In the
end though, worth it. My neighbor now has Sarah, Todd and 'Chuck dad' (Sarah's Pops) signed copy of the book. And, as I think the photo below attests, He also has Todd Palin's undying love and affection. (Look at Todd TOTALLY giving him the googly eyes. FACT.)
In a natural hot springs about an hour outside Fairbanks. It was -20 degrees Fahrenheit outside at the time!
And finally, updates on 'real' life… I have been nominated by the FNSB Mayor and accepted to travel to Bellevue, WA sometime in February (not sure when yet, or for how long) to check out 1811 Eastlake (http://www.desc.org/1811.html) a nationally recognized 'housing first' unit that provides housing to chronic inebriates outside Seattle. Both Anchorage and Fairbanks, AK are looking into trying to finance the same sort of housing option, and 'key' members of the community are going 'on a free fieldtrip' to check out the groundbreaking facility. That's right; apparently I am a 'key' community member. :D
I turn my back for one minute, and my cat jumps in the wood stove. Do you think he is trying to send me a message?
I fly to Anchorage in tomorrow to take place in their 7th Project Homeless Connect, and shadow the lead coordinator to help connect the dots for our first PHC here in Fairbanks on March 29th 2010. I have had my first interview with the Street Outreach Program, and am waiting on the next step. I am also looking at other opportunities that come my way, for mid-March is right around the corner, and I need a job! Within the next month I will have a new home, and a new roommate (who I can't wait to arrive here in ALASKA!), as well as what looks like a new job to start reporting on Page 2
… until next time. Carry on.
It's not often a chance to dress up happens in Alaska, let alone Fairbanks. Don and I took this opportunity to make sure and Practice out 'Blue Steel' Zoolander faces. I think we perfected it.

Your father had just finished his routine walk after dinner and sat with you and other members of the family to have a candid talk before going to sleep. All of you are having a wonderful family time, but suddenly, a certain panic gripped you and other family members. It was a bolt from the blue.
You could notice that, your father started to sweat profusely and was having difficulty in talking. His vision was beginning to blur and he was unable to lift his left arm. All of your family members were perplexed by this sudden incident and rushed towards the old man to hold him as he was about to lose his consciousness and fall to the floor.
Your father settles down after a while.
Your family members decide to keep your father at home and consult with a doctor the next day. The next day, your physician confirms you that, your father has suffered a stroke and needed immediate hospitalization. Neither you nor your family members could even realize, your father could suffer such an ischaemic event in the brain as your father has always a health conscious patient and his diabetes and hypertension have always been under control.
But in an elderly patient, Ischaemic or Haemorrhagic strokes can show up any time and when the patient is diabetic and hypertensive, the risk is always there.
Many family members fail to recognize the warning signs of stroke and thus, get panicked rather than taking drastic measures. When the patient settles down a bit, they decide not to rush to the hospital immediately. Such an act has invited many adverse outcomes for many families.
It's very important to know about the warning signs of stroke:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or legs on the one side of the body.
- Sudden confusion, sweating, trouble speaking and understanding.
3. Sudden trouble in seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes.
4. Sudden trouble with walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
Sudden severe headache with known cause.
5. Sudden severe headache with known cause.
If the patient has vomited, then the possibilities of a haemorrhagic stroke should be kept in mind.
When you notice the above signs evident among one of your family members, friends or near and dear ones, don't panic, but keep calm and take him or her to the hospital as soon as possible.
You might save a life.
Thank You

Police: Woman jailed after cutting off husband's penis
By the CNN Wire StaffJuly 13, 2011 9:56 a.m. EDT
(CNN) -- A Southern California woman was in jail Wednesday after allegedly drugging her husband, cutting off his penis, throwing it into the garbage disposal and turning it on, Orange County police said.
Catherine Kieu Becker put a drug or poison in her husband's dinner Monday evening to make him sleepy, according to the initial police investigation.
"The victim went to lie down and he woke up tied to the bed with his wife tugging his clothes off," police said. "The suspect grabbed the victim's penis and cut it off."
Becker told police he "deserved it" when they arrived at the scene after she called 911, the police report said. The couple is going through a divorce.
Becker, 48, was arrested for aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning, and spousal abuse. She was booked into the Orange County Jail.
The 51-year-old victim, who hasn't been identified because he is an alleged victim of spousal abuse, underwent emergency surgery at the UCI Medical Center, police said.
I saw that story yesterday, normally something I would have posted here, however I felt the garbage disposal touch so heinous I decided to pass.
kill her.
He deserved it, eh? Hell hath no fury, etc and so forth.
I'd hate to hear the thump as the garbage disposal struggles for a second and then accelerates to full speed again
That is fury indeed. Normally these stories involve the woman throwing the wang out the window, someone fetching it, and the heroic doctors performing emergency surgery to reattach.
Here, she took it one step further by putting it down the garbage disposal. That's kicking it up a notch.
Sounds like she didn't like the whole "I never knew that you liked piña coladas getting caught in the rain" excuse.
I knew I had seen her before.
Here she is disposing of more wieners at Nathans.
Nothing like a little aggravated mayhem between spouses.
ya think???

Our core principle is the ground-breaking idea that the value of your senior years depends much more on the world around you than the number on your bank account. Currently we are building our solution and any product or service will require approval from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Pension companies invest our hard-fought retirement savings in coal, oil and arms producers. In terms of fossil fuel alone, Danish pension funds hold assets equal to ~200% of Denmark's annual CO2 emissions. We want to offer an alternative. A different path. We want to invest with the aim of achieving a financial return and a positive impact on society and the environment.
We gather our members around crystal clear principles of sustainability, transparency and innovation. It's your money, and you should have a say in the way they are invested.
Our vision is to bring the pension sector into the era of the shared economy and utilize our biggest pool of private resources for our shared benefit – not only for financial markets.

Get info about Mississippi Valley State University golf, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. Coaches are going to be more drawn to players who display genuine interest in their program throughout the recruitment process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Mississippi Valley State University Golf information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Mississippi Valley State University.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Texas Tech University basketball scores may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Mississippi Valley State University golf, you may think about University of North Carolina class notes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

4. Create some sort of listing function like "CL or Ebay"
5. Create "Wall" like function of facebook
6. Basic interface of the website pages like facebook, google.
We are looking for who is creative, loves coding, and have some results on the unique coding that he/she did herself in the past. We are looking for people who can think of themselves. We still do not have solutions to many of the above problems, and you must be also the one proactively find and implement the solutions.
When submit for this project, please describe what you did in the past. Also, submit your portfolio or give us a link to your sample that shows your skill/talent.
This project is for an ambitious and excellent programmer who are not afraid of taking risks only. Must be able to write your programming, not just cut and paste. Top tier universities' students of CS, CE, EE encouraged to apply. Submit your academic background if your school is impressive.
Looking forward to working with you.

I wish I could sleep all day. Then I remember that I can't lay in bed more than ten minutes after I wake up.
I wish I had a TV. Then I think of the little free time I have being taken up by TV. Then I'm glad I don't have one... Still I'd like one for movies.
I'm happy that my mom and I worked out together today. I'm so proud of her. Sometimes I still struggle to go 20 min on the elliptical. She blew right by it.
I am a beautiful, inspiring powerful woman. I need to remember that more often.
I love my dog Tito. He is so affectionate and loving. Just what a little puppy ought to be.
I don't so much like the idea of becoming a nurse.... I might go into teaching... I kinda hate that I even just had that thought. Because I always grew up thinking "I'll never be a teacher. Sick." I've always just loathed the idea. Completely. Until I started teaching dance.
I love teaching dance. A lot.
I love teaching people about exercise. And Nutrition.
So maybe I'll teach those things... I'd like to start my own wellness company actually. Where I have a wellness center where dance classes are offered, nutrition classes, cooking classes, and exercise classes. And through this I could make programs for people to lead them to a healthier life.
I would love to have a partner in this wellness company. We'd need to speed some serious time. But I believe it would be very successful.
The catch is that my partner and I would need to be the prime example of wellness. Ya know, eating working out all that jazz. And I'm not quite there...
So this means its time to go to work. Once I'm there I will be in a place to start my company.

Just two short years ago, few people in the banking business paid much attention to a company called Concord EFS, a Memphis-based transaction processor that specialized in providing electronic payment and payroll services, primarily to trucking companies and convenience stores.
Since then, Concord has acquired three major electronic funds transfer networks Star Systems, Cash Station, and MAC and catapulted itself into the dominant position in the online debit and automated teller machine processing industry.

Big Wind's lobbyists and promoters love to claim that their projects are being welcomed by rural communities everywhere. The reality is rather different. Last Tuesday, voters in 20 rural towns in Michigan went to the polls and rejected or restricted the expansion of wind energy.
Furthermore, those same Michigan voters soundly rejected two projects being promoted by the world's largest producer of wind energy, NextEra Energy — which, as I discussed on this site last week, has been suing rural governments in multiple states (two of them in Michigan) while at the same time collecting billions of dollars in federal tax subsidies.
I recently talked to Kevon Martis. He is the founding director of the Interstate Informed Citizens Coalition, a group based in Blissfield, Mich., that works with rural governments in the Midwest that are resisting the encroachment of Big Wind. He was exultant. "Huron County has more than 400 turbines," Martis said. "If wind energy is so great, why didn't the county voters choose to have more of them?" Martis went on, saying that NextEra and DTE probably spent more than $500,000 on their efforts to get voters to approve their projects while the anti-wind forces "might have spent $3,000 or $4,000."
Big Wind also lost on ballot questions in Marlette Township in Sanilac County and in Almer Township in Tuscola County. In Marlette, voters approved, by a margin of 53 to 47 percent, a zoning amendment that will toughen an ordinance governing wind-energy projects.
The fact that rural communities from Maine to California are rejecting Big Wind doesn't fit the popular media's narrative that wind energy is 'green.'
Perhaps Kiernan and Sloan should visit Almer Township, where voters rejected a NextEra-backed ordinance that would have weakened the town's zoning ordinance. As I noted in these pages last week, Almer is one of five rural governments that have been sued by NextEra since last October. Almer residents, who are defending themselves against NextEra's lawsuit in federal court, voted against the wind giant's proposal by a margin of 55 to 45 percent.
NextEra can afford its courthouse mugging of small towns like Almer and Hinton, Okla. (population: 3,000), because it is gorging on federal tax subsidies. Between 2008 and 2015, according to a recent report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, NextEra accumulated profits of $21.5 billion but didn't pay a dime in federal income taxes. Nor does it appear that NextEra will be paying federal taxes anytime soon. In its 2016 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company reported $3 billion in tax-credit carryforwards, an increase of $143 million over its 2015 numbers.
Norm Stephens, a retired schoolteacher who lives in Almer and opposed the project, told me of the vote total, "It's huge. We are sending a message." But he quickly added, "NextEra is not going away. There's too much money involved."
The vote totals in Michigan add to my ongoing tally of the rural backlash against Big Wind. Thus far this year, 37 government entities in ten states have moved to reject or restrict wind-energy development. More rejections and restrictions are coming.

Growth Rates after Fertilizing Lodgepole Pine
Heavy application rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) to thinned lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) produced responses in volume increment directly related to increased tree nutrition that lasted no more than 8 years. An indirect response in volume increment, resulting from increased levels of stocking after fertilization, continued for a longer period. Resulting increases in yields probably cannot economically justify operational fertilizing in similar stands. West. J. Appl. For. 4(1):18-20, January 1989.

Detail from famous top-model Gigi Hadid's bombshell style… Her off-duty looks are so stylish and cool. She's a Professional… Especially, she uses black parts in her look. Here are some of the samples from Gigi…
Black matte pea coat covers her black, silky pajamas. This is an extreme sample. She wore pajamas to go to an opening of store. Her diamond looking choker and gracious black and white sandals were good choices.
Gigi was at the airport in this photo. She wore a black turtleneck jumper, black ripped jean pants, black long coat and ankle boots. Her mare's-tail hairstyle and black sunglasses supported her style.
This is both chic and casual style. Black, thin strapped plunging gown slip dress is so chic. Black, double banded sandals, black handbag and long, cheetah print silk robe are amazing.
Extreme, crazy, different and assertive style. She used the black bra as a bralette top. Black sheer jacket, black high-waisted wide-leg pants, black heeled boots, gold hoop earrings and a black handbag completed her style. She goes to a concert hall.
Black and silver metallic boots, Brandon Maxwell suit consisted of a black cashmere sweater and a mini black layered asymmetrical skirt were pertained. She goes to watch the Victoria Secret fashion show.

Pop star Madonna has been urged by the 'Save the Children' charity not to take their banner too seriously and reconsider her apparent plans to adopt every orphaned child in Africa.
African National Congress officials told reporters that the celebrity super-slapper arrived in Cape Town last week at the start of a drive north to Egypt, criss-crossing the entire continent, and adopting children by the thousands as she goes.
The children will then be shipped by DHL's 'package express' to London and then on to her Wiltshire estate where second-hand battery hen sheds have recently been erected – and fumigated – ready to house the incoming waves of orphans.
The UK-based charity said ideally African orphans should be cared for by their extended family or community – or get recruited into one of the Continent's many 'child armies' - for taking them abroad was "not a solution".
Critics are quick to point out that since Madonna adopted the then 13-month-old David Banda from Malawi in 2006 she has evolved what they term a 'golliwog fetish', which is reportedly one reason behind the marriage break up with Guy Twitchie who apparently told her to '"Stop bringing little darkies home" and if she wanted to foster someone then why not "Adopt a few unemployed hoodies here in the UK."
Following Madonna's travelling 'circus without a tent' across southern Africa, reporters interviewed Mrs. Gwatcha O'Dinga of 16, Firewood Crescent, Ndola, Zambia, who told them: "Dis stupid blonde slapper she come here an say she give me £20 each for any spare kids I don't need – so I tells her "Hey honky bitch - you go an fuck a pig!" an she reply 'Been dere - done dat' – den throws me de bird – an' twenty quid – an' pisses off in de big air-con Chelsea Tractor wid my youngest son – Ringworm Ronnie. Dat's okay – one less mouth ta feed at Christmas."
Certain critics have speculated that the super-adoption project is a big personal earner scam as if Madonna does end up with the intended 5,000 adopted children living on her Wiltshire estate then she can claim up to half a million pounds per month in child tax credits.
Save the Children spokesman Dominic Scrunt told the BBC's Adopt-a-Golly programme: "For the most part so-called orphans in African countries tend to have family still available to them, if not actually both parents still living, but whom are quite happy to get shut of their snotty-nosed and AIDS-ridden kids to anyone who offers them a few bob in a stable, negotiable currency such as Tesco discount vouchers or Stainsburys Nectar points."
African Catholic countries do not, as a rule, approve adoptions for single or divorced people, but ANC officials say that each case is considered not so much on its merits but the size of the 'facilitation fee' – or bribe – they pay.
The star also has two biological children – Coco Pops, her son with divorced husband Guy (I'm off down the effin' pub) Twitchie - and Lourdes, whose father is someone else – often rumoured to be either actor Brad Spitt, celebrity hairdresser Edward Scissorhands or cult movie icon Donnie Darko.

Swimming & Diving Championships Central
ROCHESTER, Mich. – Two-time defending champion Oakland University is set to host the 2016 Horizon League Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The competition will run Feb. 24-27 at the Oakland Aquatics Center.
All seven sessions of the Horizon League Swimming and Diving Championships will be carried on ESPN3.
In its third year of Horizon League membership, Oakland has continued its dominant run under head coach Pete Hovland, winning both the men's and women's championships in 2014 and 2015. A third straight title would make the Golden Grizzlies men's team the first to win three consecutive championships since Milwaukee from 2010-12. The Oakland women are vying to become the first team to win three in a row since Green Bay won seven straight titles from 2005-11.
Entering the championships, Oakland owns the top League time in 14 events, including 11 individual events and three relays. Four League records have fallen prior to the championship: Philipp Sikatzki of Cleveland State swam the 100 butterfly in 46.93. The Cleveland State men also broke the 400 medley relay record, posting a 3:12.82.
On the women's side, Oakland's Holly Morren touched the wall in 49.85 in the 100 free to set a new League mark. The Oakland women also own the 400 free relay record, clocking in at 3:22.02 in December.
The meet will open with finals at 5:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Both the 200 yard medley and 800 free relays will be contested, along with men's 3-meter diving prelims and finals.
Prelims will resume each day at 10 a.m. ET with finals scheduled for 5:30 p.m. each evening.

I currently wrote about my experiences with Tarrago Leather Dye right here , but I felt another review was required, considering the fact that factors went slightly differently this time around. The repair kits come with a backing fabric for significant tears exactly where the backing the leather sits on has also been broken. I'm nonetheless glad I bought the kit simply because it gave me a likelihood to test every thing out very first. I am incredibly impressed and content with the results and can not wait to use it on my leather handbags and belts that look lackluster. When you are accomplished, a leather sealer protects the dye and gives a slight sheen to the repaired area.
You can inform if you have finished leather by putting a drop of water on the leather and dabbing it up. If the leather did not darken where the water was applied you have completed leather. We treat your furniture as if it was ours with quick service, on time expert workmanship, and reasonable prices. St. Louis Leather Repair is the company to get in touch with for leather repair in and around St Louis.
Immediately after the leather resurfacing was performed, Lucky's little digging mission was totally invisible, even to me! Our collection of living room sets offers matched leather furniture that can also contain ottomans or coffee tables. It is best to use many thin layers of repair compound than it is to try and fill it all at once. In my case, I had an off-white leather armchair and they encouraged mixing in some yellow and or brown into a white base.
This wasn't in the instructions but what I saw specialists do is apply some repair compound to the underside of the leather following the backing fabric was inserted to glue the backing fabric to the leather. I want to share with you my story of what occurs when playful pets got rowdy on my living room leather…and how I fixed it. You will also want leather conditioner to maintain your leather furniture in major, attractive situation.
The locations where your leather has ripped or torn may be frayed or otherwise protrude from the surface. Pour a little quantity of sealer onto the sponge then spread the sealer over the places you are going to dye. To match the repair to the kits integrated a variety of colors of leather dye which you mix to get the very best match for your leather. Leather Chairs: From contemporary designs to classic leather chairs like those pictured to the left, we have the best leather furniture for you living area, workplace, or study. I got extra of the compound on the leather than I wanted given that I was attempting to take a picture at the exact same time.
The finish result for each jackets right after applying Leather Nova's leather cleaning merchandise on them is that they looked revived and renewed. Plus I have a leather chair that matches the couch, and I didn't want to break up the set or have to come across all new stuff for my living space! I am content and in the future I could try to boost the repair and I'm willing to try it again.

By: Bella Secchiaroli
Since the beginning of December, Bella and I have been dying to go down to Greenwich Avenue in Connecticut for the day. Finally after a busy holiday season we were able to make it down there last Tuesday the 29th. Unfortunately we are not old enough to drive but conveniently have an easily accessible train station right here in Milford. The train ride was about 50 minutes and we arrived in Greenwich at 2:10. Luckily, Greenwich Ave is a short walk from the Greenwich train station. Unlike other shopping trips we have taken, for this one we had no real plan and since we took this trip only a short while after Christmas there was nothing that we really needed. However the trip was still fun and a good experience. The great thing about Greenwich Ave is it has just about any store you could ever imagine but can also be extremely pricey. When we arrived at Greenwich we were hungry but we were saving our money for shopping. We stopped in Starbucks, grabbed a drink and decided that we would grab something bigger later. We shopped in Kate Spade, J. Crew, Lululemon, Lilly Pulitzer, Brandy Melville and even a new boutique we found called Jenna and Rubys. It was definitely not a heavy shopping day but a place I would recommend for a big shopping trip and has just about every cute store under the sun. To top our day off we stopped at a make-your-own salad place and made our way back to the train station and home :-)).

Hector Flores', (better known as "Hexsagon") love for music began as a childhood infatuation that he fostered via the playing of his parents' records. From Michael Jackson to Juan Gabriel, he seemed to absorb every nuance of what he heard, from key signatures to lyrics until eventually he became moved to try recreating the sounds via his own vocals or the many musical instruments that he tried his hand at playing.

Evidence Shows We Can Prevent Obesity in Children
By Bobby Ramakant and Shobha Shukla *
Researchers have demonstrated that childhood obesity prevention programmes have a positive health impact on body mass index (BMI - a measure of body fat based upon height and weight). So policies and practices should take this evidence into consideration to nip alarming rates of childhood obesity. Professor Elizabeth Waters, Jack Brockhoff Chair of Public Health in University of Melbourne, did this game-changing systematic review on childhood obesity prevention with her colleagues, which is the most downloaded review in The Cochrane Library. Prof Waters was also awarded the prestigious Anne Anderson Award for 2014 at 22nd Cochrane Colloquium in Hyderabad, India.

The report warns against the brewing storm of diabetes and tuberculosis (TB) that is no longer confined to the teacup.

TUESDAY JUNE 20, 2006 - SACRAMENTO, CA A Diamler-Chrylsler fuel cell vehicle on the freeway in Sacramento, CA, on Tuesday, June 20, 2006. The FCVs are fleet vehicles being used for research and outreach and are part of the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CAFCP)...The CAFCP is a collaboration of 31 member organizations working together to promote the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCV). CAFCP members include automotive manufacturers, energy providers, government agencies, fuel cell technology companies and transit agencies. Some challenges to the members' goals are that most current FCV's can only travel 100-150 miles before refueling, fuel cell life has yet to reach that of traditional vehicles, there is a lack of hydrogen fueling station infrastructure, and a lack of public understanding about FCV's...Hydrogen fuel cells combine hydrogen with oxygen across a catalytic membrane to produce electricity which is then used to power an electric motor. Considered a 'green' power supply because it has no other by products except for heat and water critics are skeptical about what the hydrogen source is; fossil fuels like natural gas and petroleum are often stripped of hydrogen in order to run fuel cells, something critics state is not very 'green' or sustainable.

A photo of my favourite pair of converse!
There's something highly satisfying about the contrast between white and any other colour, which is why I always opt for converse when buying shoes. This particular pair was purchased in Belfast, solely because I couldn't leave them in the shop.
They are a very unique pair of shoes and I'm a very unique kind of person so we kind of go together. With Winter upon us, though, I prefer to wear a comfortable boot rather than a sneaker, though I do try to wear these as much as I can.
Anyway, enough about my footwear preferences! Enjoy the photo and have a good weekend everyone!
