Dementia is caused by a number of diseases that affect the brain. The most common is Alzheimer's but diseases also include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and Pick's disease.
Different types of dementia affect the brain at different rates and in different ways, but other things like someone's personal circumstances, the people around them and the environment in which they live, will affect their experience of dementia. Dementia progresses in a way that is unique to each individual.
It is true that more people over 65 have dementia but it is not exclusively an older person's disease; younger people get dementia too.
Five things you need to know about dementia:
1. Dementia is not a natural part of the ageing process.
2. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain.
3. It is not just about losing your memory.
4. It's possible to live well with it.
5. There is more to the person than the dementia.
We took part in a Dementia Awareness Week last year by providing information for staff and residents on what Dementia is and where to get support and help.
These sessions have continued with the work of our Dementia friends Champion, Roy Chambers, and staff from across the organisation have taken part in Dementia Friends sessions.
The Dementia friends sessions have highlighted services available for carers and also looked at some of the myths and negative thinking around Dementia.
The sessions were very helpful to staff members and gave us a really good understandings of Dementia and the problems that people with Dementia have to overcome. Staff were given helpful ideas of ways to help and sign post to relevant agencies.
Teign Housing also continues to host Memory Cafes in some of its Community Rooms including Alberta Court & Bitton Court, Teignmouth – for more information on these you can call 01626 355135.

We are in San Sebastian, and going to Bilbao in 2 days. A search on this board has yielded lots of requests about Bilbao, but no recommendations at all. Is there noplace good to eat in Bilbao?
Also, FWIW, we went to Akelare for lunch here. It was good, but I just don't see the point of paying $500 for two for a single lunch. I just don't find the food to be worth that. We're hoping for places where we can get dinner for 2 for less than $100.

Review by carka
not a strenuous read -- read in one evening after maggie went to bed :) but it was a nice distraction from busyness at work.
Review by faniP
I LOVED this book! I really didn't expect that, since the reviews are mostly mediocre to say the least.This is the story of Lexi who has an accident in an outing with her friends. She wakes up in a hospital to learn that in fact the accident she remembers happened 3 years ago and she is in fact there after a car accident that happened a couple of days before. So, she has totally forgotten the last 3 years of her life. And what a change these years were! She became director in her department, owns a Luis Vuitton bag, has a perfectly toned body and is married to a gorgeous millionaire! However, she soon learns that not everything in her new life is as perfect as it seems. Trying to remember what happened to her life during these years won't be so easy as she can't trust all those new people who claim to be her friends. I stayed up late to finish this book. Fast paced, funny but also emotional at certain points. The romance part was lovely and sweet and the hero wonderful. Along with Undomestic Goddess this is my favorite Kinsella book.

Breaking with a tradition Thursday, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission voted to open the spring inshore shrimp season across the state's coastal waters on the same day — 6 a.m., May 18.
A long-standing policy was to open the state's three major shrimping zones when state marine biologists determined the brown shrimp in each of those zones, and the major estuaries in those zones, grew to 100 shrimp or larger to the pound.
State Shrimp Study leader Marty Bourgeois told the commission that those dates ranged from May 10 in the northern Lake Pontchartrain study zone to May 27 in waters in the Mermentau-Calcasieu-Sabine study area.
Those dates were based on samples taken as late as Sunday, May 3.
The move for the same-day opening came after the state's small-boat shrimpers, vessels that make up most of the inshore fleet, pleaded for a single opening to prevent large numbers of boats from descending on one area to harvest shrimp.
The later date, shrimpers said, would increase the size of the shrimp and offer better dockside prices for their catches.
Commission member Dan Davis said the only problem he had with the May 18 date was that it was a day after the new moon, a time when stronger tidal movement carries shrimp from the marshes into nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. He said he would have preferred a May 15 opening, but agreed with the other commissioners for a 6-0 vote. Commission member Pat Manuel missed the meeting.
Bourgeois told the commission that April rains had slowed the growth of shrimp, but that recent southeasterly winds and low rainfall had stimulated growth and additional cohorts of smaller shrimp had moved into the marshes to present shrimpers with the opportunity of additional larger shrimp throughout the spring season.
The commission also approved a May 18 opening date for state "outside" waters from Atchafalaya River Ship Channel west to Freshwater Bayou Canal.
Other commission action included:
Approving a notice of intent to increase the minimum size of sac-a-lait on Eagle Lake to 11 inches with a daily creel of 30 in an agreement with Mississippi;
Approving a resolution to support a move by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to file an amicus brief supporting a Coastal Conservation Association-filed suit in federal court to halt the federal plan to divide the recreational red snapper quota into private and for-hire/charterboat sectors;
Learning that Enforcement Division agents issued 847 citations during April, and worked fatal boating accidents that claimed the lives of two men;
Voting to continue the commercial and recreational fishing closure of the Bay Jimmy area in Barataria Bay due to continued problems in the wake of the BP-Deepwater Horizon oil disaster;
And, voting its September meeting for Sept. 3 in Baton Rouge.
Step Outside Day
The 11th-annual Step Outside Day is set for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday at the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area near Krotz Springs. The fee-to-the-public program's activities include fishing, archery, boating, target shooting, nature photography, bird watching and canoeing along with seminars on trapping techniques, turkey and duck calling and information on the Louisiana black bear and alligators.
Food and drink will be provided.

We went before DD1 and it was informative. I actually had to think back to some of the tips when I had DD2
It depends on the kind of labor class you are attending, but they tend to provide tips and practice on focusing on something other than pain/contractions, have DF help relieve the discomfort by rubbing or providing pressure on certain parts of the body (mainly lower back, what I remember) ... I think we also saw a film (I can't remember). It's been a while for me, I'm sure our doula gals can provide more info on what to expect, but you'll probably learn a good deal

Daily analysis 18.01.2016:
Next overvalue of the raw materials currencies, although its scale is significantly different. The zloty is seriously overvalued due to a decrease in Poland's long-term credit rating by the S&P. Nervous atmosphere on the Polish treasury bonds' market. The base case scenario for following days and weeks.
Most important macro data (CET – Central European Time). Estimations of macro data are based on Bloomberg information, unless marked otherwise.
- No macro data, which could have a significant impact on the analysed currency pairs.
Overvalue of the raw materials currencies increases
The topic of raw materials currencies appeared here many times. The past Tuesday we took notice that the pace of their value's depreciation is significantly smaller than in the past months, considering the percentage overvalue of oil. This situation is still observed on some of these currencies, but these with weaker economic perspectives lose significantly more than the others.
Since the beginning of the year, the Brent oil depreciated by 22%. However, at the same time, the Norwegian krone (NOK) lost only 0.5%. This is a very small overvalue, considering that the average pace of the NOK depreciation to the USD was approximately 3/7 of percentage overvalue of oil. On the other hand, the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar are doing slightly worse, although their depreciation is significantly slower than it was during the past one-and-a-half year. These currencies lost respectively 4.7% and 4.2% to the dollar.
The situation on the Russian rouble (RUB) seems to be the worst. Since the beginning of January it lost 6.7% to the dollar. Apart from one minute on December 16th 2014, the American currency in Russia is most expensive in history. At that time, panic on the Russian market caused a rebound of the USD/RUB slightly above the level of 79.
The recent movements on the raw materials currencies may suggest that even if overvalue on oil market maintains, the market participants will focus more on economic foundations, and the actual negative impact of further Brent depreciations, than it was im previous stages of oil's sale.
Cutting of rating is a problem for the zloty
Overvalue of the zloty which was observed during the past few days, has clearly increased on Friday evening. The market found out then about the Standard & Poor's agency cutting Poland's rating. After today's market opening the situation did not clearly changed. However, the zloty remains close to its 4-year minimums to the euro, and the EUR/PLN pair is not far from the area of 4.50.
The situation on the dollar looks even more spectacular. Last time when the American currency was so expensive was in March 2003. Today, the USD/PLN crossed the level of 4.12. The debt market is also very nervous. Before noon the profitability of 10-year treasury bonds increased by 24 base case points, and reached the level of 3.22%. This shows a significant tension on the national market. Especially that the sings from abroad are relatively neutral today, and the difference between other debt instruments on the European market and the German bonds, did not clearly change. Thus, information about a decrease in rating, takes practically the whole responsibility for overvalue.
Of course, there is a basic question: how will the national currency behave during the following days. There is a great probability that the following sessions will be quite volatile. It is possible that some of the more conservative capital will abandon the Polish treasury bonds, because some pension funds or central banks avoid to invest in the assets with a rating which is lower than "A".
This goes for the Swiss National Bank among others. In the third quarter, its investments in treasury bonds with the rating below "A" were only 5% of the whole wallet. On the other hand, bonds estimated for "A" were 10%, "AA" 25%, and "AAA" 60%.
On the other hand, it is possible that lower evaluation of the zloty and higher profitability may attract a short-term speculative capital. It may consider that there is a possibility of gaining a significant profit, if the positions on the zloty and the national treasury bonds are taken at a right moment. This may mean achieving profit from enforcement of the PLN, as well as a decrease in bonds' profitability, which will be revealed in an increase of their price. 2% appreciation on the zloty, and 20 base case points of decrease in 10-year bonds, means an earning withing the limits of 4% of the capital.
Thus, we can expect the currency market to be unstable. This nervousness is most likely to be overlapped with unstable situation on the stock markets in developed countries. It is possible that the range of fluctuations on the EUR/PLN pair, among others, may be even 4.30-4.60 until the end of the month.
However, during the following weeks the situation should calm down to such degree that we will be able to talk about the return to stabilisation. But any data worse than expected, commotion abroad, or hypothetical cutting of the rating's perspective by, for example, other agencies, will cause that the negative reaction will be significantly bigger than it was recently. This is a result of the fact that the whole market is still aware that the S&P may be justified to a certain degree, despite how brave and controversial it is.
On the other hand, the fact that the chances for cutting of interest rates decrease significantly, may be an element of a stabilisation. When the rating is decreased and the national currency is being sold, the central banks of the developed countries consider even an increase in currency rates, in order to stop the outflow of capital. Thus, there is a small chance that the Monetary Policy Council would decide for any movement during the following months in such environment.

The print "Blackfoot Glacier" from The Last Glacier project was honored as this exhibition's "best relief print!"
"Relief" is an umbrella term in printmaking. Relief refers to any type of print that is produced by printing off the surface of a matrix. In the case of my prints, this would be inking the top of the woodblock (the matrix in this case) and then printing. Other types of relief process included wood engraving, Resingrave printing, surface rolling intaglio plates, letterpress and so on.

May 2013 - roll on 12 weeks!(1000 Posts)
Thread n2 for those due in May 2013
back from the GP and it's official! I'm pregnant and quite excited and a bit scared as well actually!
EDD: 25th May 2013. Can you please add me as well?
When I went to the GP she asked me whether I was told I was pregnant (?) so there must have been a misunderstanding between her and the receptionist (yeahie!). Thanks for the responses girls, really helpful!
littlepicklehead apart from fruit, try yoghurt with honey or agave nectar (even better as it has low GI) and also baby biscuits with no added sugar (some of them taste really nice!)
Wilde - apparently there is some scientific basis that severe morning sickness is more likely to happen with girls (to do with the different levels of hormones produced). I think it's only really been linked with hyperemisis but if you has no ms last time then is could be an indication? My ms is no where near as bad as last time (with dd) so I'm convinced this one is a boy now!
Ooh yay for being official tweety expect your feeling relieved now?
Haha i wondered about a girl as i had ms with both my boys and none so far this time.I guess that blows my theory out of the water oops.
I am 8 weeks tomorrow.Just hope everything is ok now.I really want my scan date through so i can have my mind set at ease.
Hope you had a lovely hol wilde!
Had to laugh at one of my pregnancy apps - tip of the day said to set aside 2-5 minutes a day to think about your baby. Think we might all have that one covered!!
Wilde Oops sorry completely skipped over that part.Hope you had a great holiday.My sister is on at me to visit her in Milan.I would love to but not sure can fit it in right now.
Berri That is funny.All i can think 24/7 is baby and thats even before my horrid letter.
Oh cheerfulyank hey there! <waves frantically> how are you?
can anyone recommend any good pregnancy apps? There seems to be quite a few......
Waves at wilde
Think I've seen you in some of the mc threads though I've changed the end of my name since from forever!
Did you worry about flying etc or going away, I'm going to Egypt in 2 weeks and abit nervous although no reason why just panic I think?!
I don't think there is any link between ms and gender I was told I was having a boy as I had none and it was a dd, I have a friend with hyperemiss and she has just been told a boy at her 20 wk scan, I'm sure there will be plenty more old wives takes before the threads out the cravings is quite interesting
thanks peeps! holiday was awesome but knackering and kept having dizzy-need-to-eat-sicky moments throughout until I got some haribo for my bag! Hate sweets normally same as you boo! think I overdid it really looking back, was climbing and hiking up all sorts and just completely exhausted. Glad to be home and lazy again!
beaut wtf was that letter about. i hope it is all ok. they should have rung you before sending that appt.
<waves at kitty>. I think we might have been on a ttc thread together a while ago? Egypt woo! never fear with flying! wiggle your feet around a bit and have walks up and own the plane (to the loo!) Don't eat anything weird or drink tap water I find my cravings steer me in the right direction; in italy I couldn't eat any chicken when normally I like it, and when i was in India pg with DS1 (for work, not intentionally) I was very very very fussy (having got terrible food poisoning time and time again there on a prior trip)
would only eat chips
jen is your ms easing up yet? are you keeping anything down at all or any fluids? my SIl had HG and it was a shocker but the earlier you catch it with the meds the quicker it will be sorted out... hope you ok.
does anyone else think 10 weeks is late for booking-in appt or is it normal? I thought it would be at 8 weeks. I WISH the MW would come to my house, instead i have to find a car to get to the clinic which is not on a bus route. harrumph.
BTW is anyone else rather pg looking at 7 weeks?! I am gagging to get into my maternity jeans! I think I will... but just in the house... and it really is my tum, is pretty hard and inflexible unlike my usual mumtum and the rest of me is still the same size.
please tell me I can get into maternity trousers tomorrow
Wilde - my booking in appt is closer to 11 weeks, much later than last time. So fed up on waiting!
Kitty - there are actual studies that show women who suffer hyperemisis have a higher proportion of girls than those who don't suffer (obviously still not an accurate way of predicting the sex!) the study I read during my googling session was from Boston university, but I think there are others. Anyway, means nothing in practice but I thought it was interesting that in that case, perhaps the old wives tales actually came from somewhere? Unlike indigestion meaning a hairy baby
wilderumpus I've been really bloated since falling pg, and can hardly fit into my clothes already because of it
Did someone mention cravings? I've been craving sesame seed prawn toast really badly. I hate sesame seeds, prawns and fried toast but I need this toast really badly all the time. Just before I poas I was up for about 2 hours in the middle of the night not being able to sleep because I wanted to eat some so badly... How strange!? I've never liked it before.
wilderumpus haha! I think you should wear them tomorrow -or during the weekend!).
I cannot even remember where my maternity jeans are but I still have most of my big and loose clothes around (I did put on 3.8 st on DD after all... :$). The bummer is that last week I was a breath away from my pre-pregnancy weight so my 'fit'self will have to wait for another couple of years until she sees the desirable number on the scales!
i had terrible indigestion and had a hairy baby little! As in, on his body though because he was 17 days early bless him. My SIL had HG and had a girl... oooh. I am not actually pukey let alone with HG so guess I could have a boy would completely adore either, just a healthy bubs please!
ah pedantic yay be my bloaty friend hehe. I crave sesame prawn toast in normal life tho No, I want maccy dees. bastard food of the devil in normal life but manna from God when upsticked sounds like it has all your necessary food groups in it which is actually sensible, if you ignore the deep fried bit! I craved meat with Ds but am doing ok with this pg so far... pretty open minded... but hate hate hate dirt, so can't cook or peel carrots or potatoes or anything with a speck of muck on like fresh lettuce! I feel sick just looking at it even though i know washing it will clean it... my tummy says YUCK it is FILTHY. DON'T YOU DARE.
will eat ready done tho such a princess!
That's so random pedanticpanda! It's so funny how the body works isn't it?
I'm so bloated as well: I had a look on asos for some maternity wear to see me through as it's getting uncomfortable, but then had a little freak out that it is jumping the gun a bit. Don't know how I'll make it to my scan at 13 weeks though, I have a feeling I'll be huge by then. Far too scared to weigh myself.
hehe tweety. ps congrats on getting to be more than 'probably' pregnant
is ridiculous, my 'fat' jeans (also post pg tweety) are saggy on my bum and legs but won't do up over my tum! I live in trackys at home. was ok on hols as I was in lovely swishy swashy dresses all the time! can't stand anything digging into my tum as am convinced I will mc that way. <face palm>
exactly pickle. Like, I could waer my mat jeans at home but to wear them out is a bit much, jumping the gun indeedy. Like last time, I might not actually be pg!
So glad to hear I'm not the only bloaty one. I don't have any specific cravings. I just need to eat all. the. time. I feel sick when I am not eating, constantly .
Just booked a holiday to go to Marbella in half term though. Yipee!!!
I had terrible indigestion with DS (proper swigging the Gaviscon bottle throughout the night) and he was bald as a coot until after his 1st birthday!
I know what you all mean about the maternity clothes. I wasn't going to, but I got my bag of stuff out of the attic today, and then had a total panic that I'd:
a) jinxed the pregnancy
b) imagined the pregnancy despite 2 scans
How ridiculous am I. So I wish I'd never got it down now, and I'm not opening the bloody bag! I don't care how tight my jeans are going to get, I'm not going near it until after my 12 week scan . Luckily not too tight at the mo. Someone slap me!
Hey Pedantic! I remember you!
Oh, I am so bloaty! It is ridiculous! I feel like I definitely look pregnant, and I'm only 6 weeks. My boobs are completely out of control as well, just huge. DH's face lights up like Christmas morning at the sight of them
A friend of mine is at 39 weeks. The father is not involved so I'm going to be with her when she has the baby. Eeek! I'm thrilled, but nervous too. I really hope I can support her well.
Little pickle my midwife app isn't till I'm 10 wks either feels along time away!!
I didn't have indigestion and dd had a full head of thick hair, so much do it stuck out in spikes like a little hedgehog ( ahhh reminisces how cute little dd was) it was the first thing EVERYONE asked though!!
Wilde thanks for the no fear talk of flying, I need people to slap some sence into me, I'm not worried about the food as went their when of with dd at 20wks -- I will just eat chips too--
To me maccy d's is the food of gods all the time, I remember last time I was trying to be good with dd and thought no just fruit and salad etc I'm not going to put on weight and I was so hungry driving home that I had to stop and get a cheeky burger for fear of fainting
If anyone is finding trousers abit tight have you tried the hair elastic through the loop and round the button, gives you an extra inch, very handy!!
of bigger boobs
Anyone on their second or more who breast fed that has found they just havnt gone bigger or is it just me and my poor little things??
Not bigger her kitty so you're not alone.
but they didn't go back to pre-pg size after 1st
I breast fed my son, and I don't think mine have gotten that much bigger this time, but DP swears they are huge now.
Frus mine didnt either!!!!
They are not saggy but feel empty if you get me, mine didn't go massive first time although dsis thinks they were at about 20wks where I still wasn't showing I was pg they probably did look big proportionately, I wore my same bra right up until bra with the back just on the loosest setting

Mangaluru: Rastriya Parisara Samrakshana Okkuta (RPSO) held an 'Appiko' protest at the Kadri Park here, on March 14.
The protest was against the felling of trees at the former Deer Park, where a Musical Fountain is proposed to be built. The protestors climbed a tree and dared the contractors to burn the tree when they were on it.
Secretary of RPSO Sashidhar Shetty Thumbay said, "A tree gives us about Rs 2.5 lakh worth of free oxygen every year and in the name of development the administration is cutting down these precious trees. They have already started destruction of the Western Ghats and river Netravati by starting a Rs 13,000 crore project (Yettinahole Project) and now they want to destroy our park in Mangaluru. This is not true development, they are only burning tax payer's money."
He said that there was no need of any Musical Fountain at the cost of greenery. "When we complained to the forest officials, they spoke to us in a rude manner and said that we were hindering development. We will celebrate Vanamahotsava on June 5 and plant saplings in this very spot. We want to see the animals and birds come back to this place," he added.
Dinesh Holla said, "Ministers say that they want to build parks, but this is not the way to build parks by cutting down trees. If tomorrow a builder comes forward to build a building in the Kadri Park and promises the minister a Rs 2 crore apartment, then the minister will be ready to sign the permission letter."
Dinesh Pai Kateel said, "When we enquired with the forest officials as to how many trees were cut down for development, they said that in the past 10 years trees were cut down at the rate of 7 to 8 trees every year. But this year alone, they have brought down more than 100 trees in the name of development. We will file a criminal case against the Environment Minister and MUDA for cutting down the trees in this park without proper authorization."
He further said, "MLA JR Lobo spoke so much about greenery but this destruction of environment has come during his term, he should not be silent. All leaders should come together and discuss for a proper solution as we are not against building a Musical Fountain."

Trail Sherpa is a collaboration of the top outdoor bloggers on the web. With stories about specific hikes, backcountry adventures, gear reviews, and the latest from the outdoors you'll find something to inspire your next adventure.
I hatched this crazy idea in 2009 during a flurry of long hikes in Red Rock. Why couldn't we bring the top outdoor bloggers together?
I couldn't see a reason not to either so we began work on a multisite environment which we named Trail Sherpa. Think of it as a network of independent blogs that are connected at the architecture level allowing us to syndicate the content from each of the individual blogs to the main feed at TrailSherpa.com automatically.
Some of our readers refer to Trail Sherpa as an online magazine for the outdoor enthusiast.
Our bloggers have grown together, worked on content offerings in small collaborative groups, and even tackled organization wide projects.
Trail Sherpa is a full function digital media and web design agency. As an extension of Vestor Logic, the TS team is able to work with outdoor brands on new product launches, special content campaigns, gear reviews and spotlights, and yet continue to maintain the individual voices of the member blogs.

The Siberian Times wowed the world, announcing the release of Game2: Winter. The reality TV show is set to model the popular Hunger Games series and so far, it looks to be doing a pretty good job.
The series' dangerous terrain, life-threatening situations, and conniving mind games look just as terrifying if not MORE realistic than the feature films do. In fact, there's already plans to produce a second season! Russian millionaire, Yevgeny Pyatkovsky, is the supposed 'brainchild' of the horrific idea and explains 'everything goes' during filming.
The paying contestants (that's right, paying) are actually required to sign a waiver acknowledging fault in any sort of fatal accident or injury.
Apparently, the 30 players believe the $1.6 million prize is worth more than their lives.
"Each contestant gives consent that they could be maimed, even killed. 2,000 cameras, 900 hectares and 30 lives. Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything," the man said in a press release.
The TV show will take place in the Siberian wilderness … for an entire nine months. However, there is one slightly comforting aspect to the whole idea: police will will watching. Game2: Winter made it quite clear while contestants are 'allowed' to behave anyway they please, "the police will come and take you away" if they don't approve. The question becomes, what exactly wouldn't they approve?
Set to be broadcast worldwide, the TV series explains there won't be an actual filming crew on location. Instead, thousands of cameras will be hidden within the country's harsh landscapes. Each player will also wear a personal camera with a 7 hour battery life.
While no guns are allowed 'on set,' representatives explain survival necessities as well as knives will be provided. How comforting.
Check out a sneak peek at the show below!

Pomegranate, banana, granola and bee pollen
Full on breakfast love
We're long-time cheerleaders of the work of Salad Love's big boss of bowl food David Bez – right back from when one of our freelance designers mentioned we should check out David's blog. So we were very excited to get our hands on his follow-up book, Breakfast Love (Quadrille, £16.99), which has hundreds of ridiculously easy recipes showing you how to sex up the most important meal of the day. We've already wolfed down five of them and can confirm their brilliance. This recipe involves two superfoods in the form of ingredient-of-the-moment bee pollen and powerful pomegranate and will kick-start your morning, whatever horrors happen to lie ahead.
⅓ cup granola
1 banana, sliced
2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tsp bee pollen
Nut yoghurts and creams:
"I've been looking for a raw alternative to dairy yoghurt for a long time," says David. "Coconut yoghurt from supermarkets is lovely, but eventually I found a winner: it turns out that nuts and seeds are the perfect raw protein alternative to dairy. Blend together 1 cup of nuts or seeds, 1 cup water and a drizzle of lemon juice and you'll have a new kind of yoghurt. The nuts blend better if they have been soaked in water overnight. The best texture is achieved with cashew nuts, which produce a sweet and unctuous consistency – just perfect.
"If you want to add flavour to your homemade yoghurt, add a handful of fresh fruit and maybe 1 teaspoon of honey (preferably raw) to the blender. I've had great results with blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, mango, figs, apricots and nectarines.
"You can be creative and get a more dessert-like 'cream' by replacing the lemon juice with spices and honey. Blend together 1 cup of nuts or seeds, 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon spice/flavouring (such as cocoa powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, lavender or vanilla extract) and 1 teaspoon of honey (preferably raw)."

It's going to be a dry Valentine's weekend at the theatres this 2011.Blame it on the Cricket World Cup coming up. After Engeyum Kaadhal being postponed to the month of April here is the news of the romantic-thriller KO being postponed too. The flick has Jeeva playing a photographer alongside his debutant heroine Karthika Nair.
Well that's Harris Jayaraj's second movie album going in the waiting list with songs like "Ennamo Yeadho" being already declared as chart-busters the composer will have to hold on together with his fans.Director KV Anand has even canned some songs in exquisite places like Norway and China. Even the audio launch earlier made headlines as it turned out to be a real party for those who attended the launch event as all customary speeches were avoided during the event.
All official announcements are awaited soon, so make sure you stay tuned to Kollytalk.

Discussion in 'Punto 1.3 MJD' started by thomman85, Dec 1, 2011.
Wow, great way to check the Hand Brakes, Have also done many times.
My God !! they ripped open the headlight using a welding torch crazy. But looking at their skill i must appreciate that they dint mess it up. Would have loved the sealing video too.
My headlights were opened using a heat-gun + DIY oven box method. Also there are channels in headlights through which if you insert a long tool you can push the glass.
Hows the end result? any snaps?
yeah..crazy.. imagine my situation witnessing it..they used hot glue and silicon glue to attach it back...i don't have any close up pictures ..uploading a few that i have..
was this the method used...?? i did a lot of research.. if i could do it.. then later decided to take it to a workshop..
Started off with a key chain in mind.....
I sat inside the car and looked around to see where I can install this....and finally
A simple sticker woulld have done..but I can't throw it away.....
next project
my new key chain...
Nice DIY Thomas but the keychain is not looking good. Get the Abarth Scopion and make it keychain. It will look great.
appreciate ur opinion.. the red became bloody red once the resin hardened.. personally feel light shades would have been better...
i can't say i din't like it..may be bcoz of the effort i but in.hehe...i do like it but not as much as i hope it would turn out..
scorpion key chain was the idea that lead to this diy.. this is just mark1..
Week end mod...
Please share your thoughts...

Oral B Professional Care 3000 electric toothbrush

Review of "Oral B Professional Care 3000 electric toothbrush"
Many thanks for all the R/R/C's, all much appreciated! Try to ensure I return the favour for all, but if I do miss you then give me a shout so I can get onto it!
"Oral B Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush"
Disadvantages: The price tagI have always took good care of my teeth, so have used an electric toothbrush for as long as I can remember. I tend to break them rather easily though, so I need a decent one that won't break on me easily. To date, the most reliable one I have found is the Oral B Professional Care 3000 which I received as a present last year.
This is the most expensive toothbrush I have ever owned, some would probably say it is too expensive. However, to me this is more than just a toothbrush. It is almost like a pamper session for your mouth! This toothbrush comes with four interchangeable heads. There are different modes in which you can use this toothbrush which are daily, sensitive and polish. I tend to stick to the daily one and use the polish one a couple of times a week. I don't generally need the sensitive one as I do not suffer with sensitive teeth, but I did try it out and you can definitely notice less harshness in the cleaning process, but your teeth still felt clean and your mouth fresh after use.To use, you simply plug the charger into an electrical socket and place the toothbrush onto the unit. A green light flashes whilst the toothbrush is charging and flashes continuously when it has finished charging, which is good to know as you can save on electricity by not over-charging it. I have found that even with brushing twice a day, this toothbrush only needs charging about once a week which I was quite impressed with.
The best feature for me within this toothbrush is the timer. The timer lasts for two minutes, which is how long a dentist recommends you take to brush your teeth, spending 30 seconds on each of the four quadrants in your mouth. After every 30 seconds, you get a 'stuttering sound' which indicates it is time to move onto the next quadrant. I found this really handy and it proved to me that although I have always been quite rigorous in my cleaning regime, that I did not spend enough time doing it. This is the perfect way to make sure you really are giving your teeth the best care possible.When I first used this toothbrush, I was amazed at the power it had. I most certainly had never had a toothbrush so powerful. This toothbrush pulsates 40,000 times per minute and rotates 8800 times per minute which I think is astounding. It also give 3D cleaning (which apparently means it pulsates, oscillates and rotates), which means it removes twice as much plaque as a manual toothbrush.
Another feature this toothbrush has is a pressure sensor which lights up when you are pressing too hard.Overall I have to say I have been extremely impressed with this toothbrush and I would definitely recommend it to anybody. Its not cheap by any means though. You can purchase it from Amazon for around £49.99, but it does retail generally at around £99.99, which is quite extortionate for a toothbrush. For me though, if you can afford it then it is well worth the money. My teeth have never looked or felt cleaner. They have a real whiteness to them that wasn't there before and always look shiny and polished. My gums look and feel healthy too and my mouth feels fresher for longer than before. I really feel that by using this toothbrush, I am really looking after my teeth and gums to the best of my ability now and if this one did break, I would struggle to go back to a lesser quality one now.
Obviously in this day and age, not everyone can afford to spend that kind of money on a toothbrush (myself included), but if you do suffer from any teeth/gum problems, I would pretty much guarantee that this toothbrush would sort those problems out. My dentist says that I have quite a small mouth (my family would disagree!), so it is also useful that the brush head sizes on this toothbrush are relatively small so that even in a small mouth like mine, I find it easy to get into the hard to reach places with my toothbrush to ensure that all areas of my mouth are clean.I would highly recommend this toothbrush, its in a league of its own in my opinion. I have never had such a powerful toothbrush that makes such a noticeable difference to the condition of my teeth and gums. Oral B are a leading brand in oral hygeine and you know that by purchasing one of their products, you are going to be gettig a good quality product, and this one really is no exception to that.
This toothbrush is available from online stores and from supermarkets and shops such as boots, though you will pay more from these stores for it. The wand itself is a deep blue colour with white buttons. It has a simple look, yet looks to be of a high quality.If you can afford the very high price tag, then I highly recommend you try this, but I warn you now, once you have tried it, you won't be able to go back to a bog standard toothbrush!

Daybreak's Dan Lobb is having issues with trust in his Strictly Come Dancing training.
The TV presenter, who is partnered by Katya Virshilas, has confessed to early problems in rehearsals for his first waltz on the BBC One reality show.
"Katya's crammed a lot into our first session," he said. "There has been a lot to take in and it's been tough. There have been moments where I felt a little bit overloaded.
"I'm a hard taskmaster and I'm always my own worst critic."
>'Strictly' Dan Lobb: 'I will embrace the fake tan'
> Robbie Savage mocks 'Daily Mail' over Strictly Come Dancing Ola Jordan story
Virshilas insisted that Lobb could be a success on the dance floor as long as he conquers his self-doubt.
"The first day is always going to be tough and new, but we're going to produce a gorgeous waltz," she said.
"Dan needs to trust himself more, he's really self-conscious and he needs to learn to trust me... and work hard."
Strictly Come Dancing debuts with a double bill on September 30 and October 1 on BBC One.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt with PTFE-covered stent, placed once, under fluoroscopic control,
Detailed Description:
Reduction of portal pressure are with oral intake of non selective beta blockers, often combined with mononitrates are the method of choice in secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal bleeding. However, studies have shown that this therapy is effective only in 20-50% of the patients, documented by a significant drop of the portal pressure with hepatic venous pressure (HVPG) measurements. The best method for secondary prevention in this high risk patient cohort is not known so far. In this randomized controlled study we hypothesise, that a group of 20 vs 20 patients is large enough to discriminate efficacy of prevention of rebleeding in patients receiving TIPS implantation or endoscopic band ligation in patients non responding to medical therapy as secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal bleeding.

Planning a healthy, balanced diet is easier than ever thanks to colour-coded nutrition labels. Look out for them on the front of Sainsbury's own-brand food and drink products.
The front of pack labelling shows the amount of energy, fat, saturates, sugars and salt a serving of that food provides. Here's how to read the traffic light colours, Reference Intakes and energy information:
Traffic light colours
Sainsbury's front of pack traffic light labels tell you at-a-glance if a product has high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) amounts of fat, saturates, sugars and salt.
The label appears in a lozenge shape, as shown above, and replaces the previous 'wheel'. For healthier diets, choose foods with more green and amber traffic lights and fewer reds.
What are Reference Intakes?
Reference Intake (RIs) are a guide to the maximum amounts of calories, fat, saturates, sugars and salt an adult should consume in a day (based on an average female adult). They were formerly known as Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs).
The traffic light label shows what percentage of RIs a serving provides, helping you balance your diet.
Understanding energy
The amount of energy a food or drink contains per serving and per 100g or per 100ml is now provided on the front as well as the back of packs, which makes it easier to compare products. Energy is no longer given a traffic light colour under the government labelling scheme, but is shown in both kilojoules (kJ) and calories (kcal) on packaging, (1kcal = 4kJ).
Back of pack nutrition table
You'll find more detailed nutrition information in the easy-to-read table on the back of packs. The ingredients list will highlight any relevant allergens, too.

Susan: That might be your best bet, if they have a copy in the Geneology Library. My last correspondence with Glen Moosman was in 2002. At that time he was working at the University of Utah. He stated, at that time, that he was planning to retire in two or three years. I'm pretty sure he lives in West Valley but I don't know his address and I don't know if the last Email address I had for him is still active, since it was thru the U of U. He spoke, at that time, of another book he was working on, which would be a sequile to the first book,but I don't know how far along he was with it.

Would we then give them time to watch it during our presentation?
It's up to you. You might want to try that.
okay, thanks. Hopefully it should get better
any improvements in stability? wondering how to handle video tomorrow...
Few questions:
1) Will BbC run well if we use IE. It has run well in the past when I have attended other webinars.
2) When can we upload our presentation? My session is at 11:00pm (EST) on Friday?
3) Will it be OK if I share my desktop, or is it advisable to share only the application?
Catherine - Use the web tour feature for showing video and post the link to the chat for those who might have bandwith issues.
Anjuli - You've been able to post your slides since Steve sent out the moderator links a few days ago. Go for it and drop into the conference lounge if you have issues: http://stemx13.com
Why do you need to share your desktop or an application?
Thank you for your quick response! Just wondering about sharing in case I wanted to share something from my computer. Also, is IE 10 OK as am more used to it.

We're joined by our friend Matt Weinberg to chat about growing a large consultancy, software, hiring, and more. A lot of great insights in this one, don't miss it!
Thanks to Linode for sponsoring this episode. Sign up today and get $20 off.
Good episode! And thanks for getting some of our questions in. Very interesting conversation.
I especially liked this episode. Hearing Matt's stories reminds me why I sold out of my own software consultancy in 2003!
Thanks so much for the kind words, @JohnH and @SteveMcLeod! It was a lot of fun. Feel free to reach out if I can ever be helpful in any way. I'm mrw on Twitter and my email is email@example.com.
What do you mean hearing his stories reminded you of why you sold out? You hated running one?
I listened to the podcast months ago, so I don't remember exactly. I didn't enjoy the stress of running a consultancy with a team dependent on me continually winning new client projects.

illinismitty (279) Nashville, Tennessee | March 8, 2007
This was the second stop on the pub crawl with Shigadeyo. Located inside a very old building, the look is "worn historic." Seems to have a lot of neighborhood clientele. Bartender was very friendly. They have 4 or 5 taps of micros, including two barrel house beers. There were more than 20 bottles on our visit. An adequate selection of micros, including Victory, Bells, Arcadia, etc. Nothing rare. After work, it can get very loud and smoky. Bring cash because they do not take credit cards.
bethmatt0421 (19) Covington, Kentucky | October 22, 2006
Check out Tmoney99's rating. I couldnt say it any better. The beerfest was downright awesome. Great IPA selection, SpeakEasy, Weyerbacher. If you like big city, but small town friendliness, this place is for you.
Tmoney99 (657) Cincinnati, Ohio | August 7, 2006
Clifton area local bar with parking in front. Older building with good history. Freindly location with good service. Eight taps with six micros and cooler at end of bar with 25 to 30 bottles. They had a stout that I had on my wishlist. Beerfest on an annual basis. Clearly a local college crowd location that is worth a stop.
JCW (152) Cincinnati, Ohio | October 29, 2004| Updated September 5, 2008
I've talked the owner and I think at some point in time soon this rating might need to be changed. But for now Fries is an established bar. They would like to serve more micros. They do have 8 taps, but 4 are macros, they do have a collection of bottled micros such as Bells, Arcadia, and Victory. They have an out door beer garden and 2 pool tables and darts. They want to serve food, but can't right now.

Writer-cinematographer-director Gianfranco Rosi captures life and death on the Italian Sicilian island of Lampedusa, which finds itself on the frontline in the European migrant crisis. Rosi won the 2016 Golden Berlin Bear award for his heart-on-sleeve documentary, highlighting the tragedy that more than 17,000 African and Middle Eastern people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean in the last 15 years, 1000 only in the last month.
Heartbreaking scenes of maritime rescue and recovery of bodies tell their own terrible tragic story. These scenes are devastatingly powerful, unforgettably upsetting. How did Rosi get access like this? He spent a whole year on the island to achieve this footage. This is thoughtful, important cinema, with vital footage, a step-up-to-the-mark responsible response to highlight a crisis, and possibly make a difference.
But Rosi gets involved in the story of a Lampedusa boy, Samuele, and his need to make slingshots to shoot stones at birds. A little of this goes a long way and there is a lot of it. The point seems obvious, and once it's made, let's move on. But Rosi lingers, gets stuck and bogged down. He even lets the boy have the film's last word.
When Rosi finally tears himself away from the kid, there's equally frustrating time with the boy's fisherman dad, and his mum, making a bed for heaven's sake, and at a snail's pace, to the accompaniment of opera. The footage with the DJ is OK but it just seems a device to add music and commentary.
All of this seems totally staged, with real people acting as themselves, giving performances, however naturalistic. He seems a bit out of his depth trying in this way to capture the flavour and character of Lampedusa, a small island with few people – just 6,000 – bewildered by their place in this history.
The time with the generous-hearted local doctor is well spent, however. He is a valuable witness, a great spokesman for the cause of humanity and doing the right thing. He is the real deal, hopefully the real Lampedusa. A documentary of his life would be fascinating.
Fire at Sea [Fuocoammare] ends up a respectful, poetic documentary highlighting a crisis that many would like to forget about. Alas, it offers few facts and no solutions. but its humanity and compassion are strong and powerful.
The London Film Critics' Circle voted it Documentary of the Year.

So what would Google do with the money if it launches an IPO? The speculation continues: it may want to expand its Google News offering, by buying Moreover, a Reuters-funded news-gathering site. "Moreover is going to sign a deal with Yahoo to make Yahoo's news a little better," said Goodman, suggesting that Google might do the deal just to take it away from Yahoo.

Igor V. Konnov, Dinh The Luc, Alexander M. Rubinov, "Generalized Convexity and Related Topics"
2006 | pages: 484 | ISBN: 3540370064 | PDF | 3,5 mb
In mathematics generalization is one of the main activities of researchers. It opens up new theoretical horizons and broadens the ?elds of applications. Intensive study of generalized convex objects began about three decades ago when the theory of convex analysis nearly reached its perfect stage of devel- ment with the pioneering contributions of Fenchel, Moreau, Rockafellar and others. The involvement of a number of scholars in the study of generalized convex functions and generalized monotone operators in recent years is due to the quest for more general techniques that are able to describe and treat models of the real world in which convexity and monotonicity are relaxed. Ideas and methods of generalized convexity are now within reach not only in mathematics, but also in economics, engineering, mechanics, ?nance and other applied sciences. This volume of referred papers, carefully selected from the contributions delivered at the 8th International Symposium on Generalized Convexity and Monotonicity (Varese, 4-8 July, 2005), o?ers a global picture of current trends of research in generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity. It begins withthreeinvitedlecturesbyKonnov,LevinandPardalosonnumericalvar- tionalanalysis,mathematicaleconomicsandinvexity,respectively.Thencome twenty four full length papers on new achievements in both the theory of the ?eld and its applications. The diapason of the topics tackled in these cont- butions is very large. It encompasses, in particular, variational inequalities, equilibrium problems, game theory, optimization, control, numerical me- ods in solving multiobjective optimization problems, consumer preferences, discrete convexity and many others.

Leaving the Daily Bugle Building and changing into Ms. Marvel, she is attacked by Deathbird, who is in the area. Their fight is short, however, and Deathbird escapes.
Returning to her apartment as Carol Danvers, Carol finds that her friends and colleagues have thrown a surprise party to try and boost her morale. She learns that Tracy was offered a position in Carol's former job. Carol also becomes the object of affections of three men: Frank Gianelli, Michael Barnett, and Sam Adams. When Michael feels emasculated around her, Carol takes offense and flees the situation as Ms. Marvel.
She comes across Deathbird who has hired a group of thieves to rob a Stark Industries warehouse for material to build a ship to escape back home. During the battle a man and his daughter are threatened. However, Ms. Marvel manages to fight off Deathbird, who escapes after dropping rubble on Ms. Marvel. Furious that Deathbird escaped, it turns out not to be a total loss for Ms. Marvel when the father and his daughter thank her for saving their lives.

In this project, we develop multi-class traffic flow models and multi-class emission models. These multi-class traffic models are used in on-line model-based control approach (Model Predictive Control). We integrate multi-class traffic flow models with multi-class emission models and use them to find a balanced trade-off between total time spent and total emissions. We investigate the performance of both fast, first-order models (FASTLANE) and slower, more accurate models (METANET).
As a next step, Distributed Model Predictive Control will be applied in the multi-class traffic control approach, to improve the computation speed and refine the control performance. In addition, we will also consider robust control.

A welder testified Thursday that he labored for months remodeling the Alaskan cabin of Sen. Ted Stevens _ work he said was paid for by his uncle's oil pipeline firm.
The testimony at the veteran lawmaker's corruption trial was unexpected since prosecutors said Wednesday they were done with their case. But the judge granted their request Thursday to call an extra witness, delaying a defense case that was to feature testimony by former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Powell was on hand at the courthouse Thursday morning to testify for Stevens, but left once the prosecution case resumed. The defense said it still hoped to start its own case by the afternoon by calling three other witnesses, including Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii.
Stevens, 84, is accused of lying on Senate forms to conceal more than $250,000 in renovations on his cabin and other gifts from Bill Allen, the former chief of a giant oil pipeline company, VECO Corp.
On Thursday, prosecutors called Dave Anderson in response to the judge's decision to tell the jury to disregard records that he logged hundreds of hours on the cabin project. Allen's nephew and VECO employee left for Oregon for a few weeks in the middle of the job _ something jurors weren't told when VECO accounting records were introduced as evidence earlier in the trial.
Stevens' attorneys have repeatedly accused prosecutors of improperly withholding information that was favorable to Stevens and of using records they knew were faulty to try to sway the jury.
Anderson testified that starting in 2000, he and a parade of other VECO workers spent 10 hours a day, six days a week jacking up the cabin and doing construction on a room underneath and on a new garage, deck, balcony and a fire escape ladder _ all paid for by the company.
"This was basically Bill's thing," Anderson said of Allen. His uncle wanted the crew to "pretty much take care of Sen. Stevens," he added.
Lawyers for Stevens face several challenges once they present their evidence. Among them: Making jurors like a man who has described himself as a "mean, miserable S.O.B."
On Capitol Hill, the Senate's longest-serving Republican is the self-styled "Incredible Hulk" who unleashes his temper on lawmakers who don't go his way. But in the courtroom, with his future on the line, Stevens needs jurors to see him a likable, honest man who believed he was paying every bill for the renovations.
"As a general rule, likability, like credibility, matters when the case is close," said Saul Kassin, a psychologist at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the author of books on courtroom psychology.
It's unclear whether Stevens himself will testify.
Taking the stand would give him the chance to tell his side of the story: that he asked Allen, a friend, to supervise his home renovation and he believed Allen was giving him all the bills. If Allen, who has pleaded guilty to bribing Alaskan politicians, tacked on freebies, Stevens could say, he didn't know about them.
Testifying would let Stevens show jurors the kind, quirky and even affectionate side of his personality that his aides and friends say he displays privately. The downside of testifying would subject him to risky cross-examination by prosecutors who could try to unleash the inner "Hulk" of a man who has been heard on secretly recorded tapes to be sometimes profane and always defiant when he thinks he's right.
If convicted, Stevens faces up to five years in prison on each of seven charges, though under federal sentencing guidelines, he probably would receive much less prison time, if any. He is hoping jurors will acquit him in time to return to Alaska and defend his seat in an aggressive race against Democratic Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich.
Matt Apuzzo reported from Anchorage, Alaska. Associated Press Writer Tom Hays contributed to this report from Washington.

|On the distribution of income and worker assignment under intra-firm spillovers, with an application to ideas and networks
|Saint Paul, Gilles
|Other authors:
|Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Departament d'Economia i Empresa
We study the earnings structure and the equilibrium assignment of workers when workers exert intra-firm spillovers on each other.We allow for arbitrary spillovers provided output depends on some aggregate index of workers' skill. Despite the possibility of increasing returns to skills, equilibrium typically exists. We show that equilibrium will typically be segregated; that the skill space can be partitioned into a set of segments and any firm hires from only one segment. Next, we apply the model to analyze the effect of information technology on segmentation and the distribution of income. There are two types of human capital, productivity and creativity, i.e. the ability to produce ideas that may be duplicated over a network. Under plausible assumptions, inequality rises and then falls when network size increases, and the poorest workers cannot lose. We also analyze the impact of an improvement in worker quality and of an increased international mobility of ideas.
