Adrian Scaife from Tunstall Advisory Service (TAS) introduces 'Reablement Lite' – now with added prevention.
According to the Adult Social Care Outcome Framework just 3% of all older people discharged from hospital benefit from a reablement service out of a total of 1.34 million older people discharged in the three month sample period.
The question arises what support was needed or provided to 97% of people who didn't receive this service?
Let's consider what reablement is and what it provides:
- Reablement is a short and intensive service, usually delivered in the home, which is offered to people with disabilities and those who are frail or recovering from an illness or injury.
- The purpose of reablement is to help people who have experienced deterioration in their health and/or have increased support needs to relearn the skills required to keep them safe and independent at home.
- People using reablement experience greater improvements in physical functioning and improved quality of life compared with using standard home care.
- Reablement is usually free for the first six weeks
Source: Social Care Institute of Excellence
Plus there are associated economic benefits too.
A 2007 study for the Department of Health's care services efficiency delivery network found that up to 68% of people no longer needed a home care package after a period of reablement, and up to 48% continued not to need home care two years later.
From the Better Care Fund metrics description a slightly broader view:
The rationale is that improving the effectiveness of these services is a good measure of delaying dependency, and the inclusion of this measure supports health and social care services work together to reduce avoidable admissions.
This is an important point as reablement is not 'just' about maximising independent living skills but also ensuring a preventative approach to reduce the probability of further hospital admissions and delaying demand.
The PSSRU Unit Costs survey 2013 estimated the average cost of a reablement service to be £2,046 per service user.
Many will argue, quite reasonably, that while reablement may be provided free to the user it is not a low cost service to provide and that expanding the usage during difficult tough times is not economically feasible.
Is there a case for a lower cost solution that could be used in larger volumes that sits somewhere between reablement and nothing that would:
- Help people re-establish themselves at home
- Support people to feel safe
- Provide the confidence that they are capable of remaining living independently
- Reassure family and friends that they are safe and if there is a problem someone will be alerted quickly?
I suggest it should be called Reablement Lite.
Perhaps surprisingly, the Royal College of Physicians has already indirectly answered the question:
We recommend that local services consider introducing a scheme for all fallers to be offered a free care alarm for a trial period on discharge from hospital. This scheme is already available in some localities.
This alone would support about 200,000 people a year in England.
A free telecare service, to support people transition from hospital to living independently, for a 6 week period would make a massive difference. For those who wanted to extend the service beyond the free period, they or their families may choose to subscribe for longer, effectively, self-funded their own prevention service. Evidence is very positive (e.g. Dudley and Surrey).

B. Wurtz
Curated by Nic Tammens
March 26 - April 4, 2015
B.Wurtz works from a basement studio in his home on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
This local fact is attested to by the plastic shopping bags and newsprint circulars that appear in his work. As formal objects, they don't make loud claims about their origins but nonetheless transmit street addresses and places of business from the bottom of this long thin island. Like plenty of artists, Wurtz is affected by what is local and what is consumed. His work is underpinned by this ethic. It often speaks from a neighborhood or reads like the contents of a hamper:
"BLACK PLUMS $1.29 lb."
"Food Bazaar"
"USDA Whole Pork Shoulder Picnic 99c lb."
"RITE AID Pharmacy, with us it's personal."
"H. Brickman & Sons."
"Sweet Yams 59c lb."
Most of the work in this exhibition was made while the artist was in residence at Dieu Donne, a workshop dedicated to paper craft in Midtown. Here Wurtz fabricated assemblages with paper and objects that are relatively lightweight, with the intention that they would be easily transportable to Australia. This consideration isn't absolute in Wurtz's work, but was prescriptive for making the current exhibition light and cheap. Packed in two boxes, these works were sent from a USPS post office on the Lower East Side and delivered to North Melbourne by Australia Post.
Wurtz appears courtesy of Metro Pictures, New York.

"...It contained seven objects. The slender fluted bone, surely formed for flight, surely from the wing of some large bird. Three archaic circuitboards, faced with mazes of gold. A smooth white sphere of baked clay. An age-blackened fragment of lace. A fingerlength segment of what she assumed was bone from a human wrist, grayish white, inset smoothly with the silicon shaft of a small instrument that must once have ridden flush with the surface of the skin - but the thing's face was seared and blackened."

Willkie Farr & Gallagher today (24 April) announced a new management structure, a move that has confirmed the identity of the successors to iconic chairman, Jack Nusbaum.
The so-called 'office of the chairman' includes the appointment of two vice chairmen, New York corporate partners Tom Cerabino and Steve Gartner. Chairman Jack Nusbaum will continue in his current role and will also lead the new, broader management team.
Nusbaum said the managerial changes were "an important step" in the evolution of the leadership of Willkie.
"My successors have been elected," he told The Lawyer. "My hope, and that of the partnership, is that when the time comes they'll become co-chairmen of the firm."
Nusbaum has effectively been head of Willkie since 1987, when he was elected co-chairman with Bob Hodes. Hodes stepped down in 1995, leaving Nusbaum as sole head ever since. An M&A specialist, Nusbaum played key roles in the merger of Nasdaq with the American Stock Exchange, the leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco and various deals for Donald Trump.
Both Cerabino and Gartner are members of the firm's executive committee and have been with Willkie for more than 20 years. In addition, Cerabino is co-chair of the M&A practice while Gartner is co-chair of Willkie's private equity practice.

The State of Connecticut has recently had the budget cut for the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services more than 7 million dollars. Surgeon General Murthy has recently declared that we are in an epidemic due to the widespread use of heroin. If we are in an epidemic, why would we want to cut the budget of what will help the people? Every one dollar spent towards recovery saves 4 dollars in Healthcare costs and 7 dollars in Criminal Justice costs. While this is excellent returns on an investment, the main thing is that we will be saving the lives of our citizens.
Governor Malloy,
Our state is in a crisis. The epidemic of heroin use has effected each and every citizen of our state in one way or another. From the crime rate to losing friends and loved ones as a result of the overdoses. Yet, you cut over 7 million dollars to the one avenue that will help save the people who are hit most. Not only would we save lives, but in the long run we would only be saving money. In the enclosed attachment, I have included a presentation that highlights the different avenues that many people have achieved recovery as a result of this funding that you have cut, as well as an overview of how not treating the still sick and suffering addict will continue to hinder us further down the road. 7 million is just a drop in the bucket especially considering that by helping these people we will save in the criminal justice and healthcare field. This can be achieved by restoring programs to the inmates who qualify for them, having healthcare officials available to provide long term treatment for someone who suffers an overdose, and by having Narcan more readily available. I myself, am a recovering addict with 3 years clean. If it wasn't for the treatment programs while I was incarcerated, I may not be here today. We need those options available to the next person struggling so that they too, can get their lives back on the right track. Thank you for your time and consideration.
By signing, you accept Care2's terms of service.

Thirty days. Forty lives. That is the average death count in road accidents. But no one gives a damn. How indifferent the custodians of Calcutta are to the state of affairs is typified by the auto-cracy on our streets. Metro focuses on the big menace of these little mean machines.
Near Tollygunge Metro station
What we saw: The autorickshaw rules this stretch. This being the terminal underground station, an army of autos waits at the exit, poised to pounce on passengers going near and far. There is no mechanism to control these autos as they speed and stop wherever and whenever they want to.
Publicspeak: With the city growing at the fringes and bulging at the seams, autos have emerged as a vital cog in the citys transport wheel. But that does not mean that they act as if traffic rules do not apply to them. The transport department must not go on increasing the number of autos for political reasons and police must not look the other way when autos cause traffic terror, says Bimal Haldar, a regular passenger on the Tollygunge Metro-Garia route.
Policespeak: These autos are a law unto themselves. Thats only because the political system hasnt empowered the police to take stern action against autos. If one is booked, the entire lot descends on us, along with their political masters, grumbles a cop on duty at the crossroad made chaotic by auto raj.
Jadavpur (8B bus stand)
What we saw: Autos play a lead role in making this one of the most congested pockets of south Calcutta. There are autos parked on either side of the road. When one line is too long, they promptly start another, narrowing the carriageway to one-third its width. One lane leading into Jadavpur is completely blocked off by autos and rickshaws. And dont be surprised to see seven passengers to an auto here.
Publicspeak: From 8am to 11am and 5pm to 9pm, crossing this zone is scary. You never know when an auto will come out of where and hit you.... Anyone who pays the union can add to the auto count on here, says Hirak Dutta, a resident of Jadavpur.
Park Circus connector
What we saw: With eight routes and hundreds of autos, the stretch from Tiljala to the Park Circus roundabout is the playground of three-wheelers. They zip in and zoom out, leaving shock and awe in their wake. They crowd the mouth of every crossroad and play traffic-stopper with impunity.
Publicspeak: The police only stop the autos when Jyotibabu or Buddhababus convoy is passing by. Otherwise, the autos rule the road, says Aziz Mirza, a resident of Tiljala.
Policespeak: Most of the autos plying on these routes do so without a licence. Moreover, there are cases of two autos having the same number. So there are at least 25 per cent illegal autos on this stretch. They park and pick up passengers wherever they want and hit pedestrians and scrape against cars all the time, said a constable on duty near the Tiljala Road crossing. And if we dare pull up an errant auto driver, the union will gherao the officers and the police station and stall traffic.
Who do you blame for the auto menace' Tell [email protected]

The Problem
There is a lack of leadership and confidence in today's young adults. A significant amount of young males don't take responsibility for their unique position in society as leaders and change-makers. They struggle with complacency, laziness and being irresponsible. There are many young females that struggle with confidence and self-respect. As a society we need both males and females to have the drive, the confidence and the ability to lead and impact change around them. We need to equip men to be the leaders in their jobs and their homes. We need to empower women and give them the confidence to achieve their goals and believe that they are important and that they can change the world as well.
The Solution
We realize that this won't change over night. We also realize this is a global problem. It may look slightly different in different cultures or communities but the issue overall is the same. When we ask ourselves how this problem can be solved, we must begin at the root of this problem. The lack of leadership in males comes from two main reasons. Most did not have a solid male figure in their life to teach them positive core values and help develop a strong character. Or they pursued activities that eventually would not benefit them or their personal growth and those activities put them in places where they now realize they have wasted part of their life. With females, they sometimes are not able to accomplish their dreams or goals because they are either put in positions where they have little potential to succeed or they feel they have to live up to a certain standards that society has created for them. It is important to empower young women to dream big and go out and see those dreams become a reality. For some that can mean being a great mother and wife. For others that could mean being an athlete, or a global leader for change, or a successful businesswoman.
How can we create positive change and growth in young adults? We believe that youth should be equipped, inspired and sent out to achieve their dreams so they can in turn become the mentors that start the process all over in others. If a youth can be taught the importance of leadership and solid character values they in turn can apply those skills to their future lives and grow into the leaders and contributors of tomorrow. If we can inspire a boy to be responsible, humble and have integrity this has the potential to not only affect his life but the lives of those around him. If we can empower and encourage a young girl to strive after her passions and give her the confidence, strength and dedication to do just that, she will be able to accomplish her dreams and be a contributing part of society.

Tom Bacocan's disassembled
Specialized Mountain Bike
in carrier case.
Photo by Tom Barocan
I first met Tom Barocan at a bus stop in Tacoma, WA in April 2005. Tom is an accomplished international bicycle rider. He was waiting for the bus with a back pack and fairly large "suitcase". The suitcase turned out to be Tom's disassembled Specialized Mountain Bike. The bike had 26" wheels and was equipped with S&S Couplings so he could pack it in the carrier case.
Tom said he was headed for Hanoi, Vietnam. I had returned from a trip to Vietnam in December and tried to pass on a few tips before the bus came.
Tom planned his trip using the Lonely Planet's "Cycling Vietnam. Laos and Cambodia". Lonely Planet Cycling Vietnam: Laos & Cambodia (Lonely Planet Cycling Guides) Lonely Planet dubbed his route "North by North West". The route is planned with daily legs of from 35 to 105 kilometers. Most are in the range of 60-70 kilometers. He encountered challenging hill climbs nearly everyday.
Tom's route took him 750 kilometers (about 475 miles) from Hoa Binh to Lao Cai. Hoa Binh is about a 2 hour bus ride southwest of Hanoi. One day out of Hoa Binh is Mai Chau, site of one of the closest Montagnard or "Minority" villages west of Hanoi. A lot of Hill Tribes were encountered on his trip. The end of day 2 found him in Moc Chau.

This type of waterwheel
has been used for centuries.

Day three ended at Yen Chau. Day 4 – Son La. Here are several bike repair shops. Day 5 – destination Tuan Giao, 90 km. Day 6 – Dien Bien Phu, site of the French defeat in 1954. Time wise he was over ½ way through. Maybe a break to sightsee was in order.
The next two legs were the longest, from Dien Bien Phu to Lai Chau is 100 km and Lai Chau to Tam Duong is 105 km. The scenery made it well worth it. (Road conditions??)
Sapa was the next stop. After the Tram Ton Pass – 1900 meters elevation. Sapa is one of the most popular tourist destinations in northern Vietnam. Montagnard tribes dressed in brightly colored costumes live here and attract curious travelers.
The last day found him making his way to the train depot at Lao Cai. This town is on the China border. Catching the overnight train to Hanoi ended Tom's North by North West ride in Vietnam.

San Diego, CA (PressExposure) August 07, 2011 -- New age philanthropist donates 5m for charity: Mr. Mike Moneymaker
Mr. Mike Moneymaker, a new age digital marketing entrepreneur and a pioneer in on line marketing techniques has raised the bars for corporate social responsibility (CSR) for entrepreneurial ventures by donating 5m for charity.
Mike Moneymaker, an ardent supporter of poor and the needy has proved again why he was given the 'golden ribbon' for community service by the mayor this year. With his hard work he had successfully established himself as an expert on line marketer and made his company a household name when it comes to on line marketing. He had worked hard to achieve this feat as he was a first generation entrepreneur and he ventured into an industry which is highly cut throat and the big boys controlled the entire market share. He worked his way up in the industry and made his company a prominent player within a couple of year of its inception. Now he has successfully sold his company to a staggering 34 million and not resting on laurels he has made history by donating 5m for charity from the profit he got from the sale.
We need more people like Mike Moneymaker as the tendency to help and serve the poor and needy has drastically reduced among the new generation and he's a true role model for more than a million entrepreneur's out there aiming to achieve greatness and earn skyrocketing profits. He's a role model not only for people to learn how to do business that too a very profitable business but also for teaching us what's true CSR is and that community is more important than increasing the personal wealth. Hats off to Mr. Mike Moneymaker for teaching us to be a good human being.

EDINBURGH yesterday completed the signing of Australian lineout specialist Matt Jolly after fending off competition from several top English clubs.
The burly lock forward clinched a one-year deal with the Gunners, who see him as a ready-made replacement for Scotland forward Iain Fullarton, who switched to Sale during the summer.
Jolly, 26, had been with Edinburgh on trial for the past fortnight and manager Ian Rankin said: "It is fair to say that Matt sold himself to us. He fitted in well with our set-up and was immediately accepted and welcomed by the rest of the squad."
Coincidentally, Jolly was based at the Gordon club in New South Wales - where Glasgow's new prop Cameron Blades hailed from.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh have called up Heriot's scrum-half David Short in the wake of skipper Graeme Burns's injury setback.
Burns will be sidelined for a month after suffering a broken bone in his foot during Friday's 25-22 Celtic League defeat by Munster.
Short will sit on the bench for Friday's encounter with Connacht at Galway, while Iain Fairley wears the No 9 jersey from the start.
Brian O'Driscoll's return to Leinster is now scheduled for the Celtic League meeting with Ulster at Donnybrook a week on Friday.
Together with fellow Lion Malcolm O'Kelly, O'Driscoll was left out of the team for the opening game in the competition against Glasgow after a delayed return from Australia.
Confirming that both players were now back in full training, coach Matt Williams has not ruled out the possibility of one or other being named in the panel of substitutes for Friday's game at Llanelli.
The more likely scenario, however, is that both will make their comeback appearances in the Ulster game which will also form part of the interprovincial championship.
A 39-11 win over Glasgow testified to Leinster's resolve to rid themselves of an unenviable reputation as the great under-achievers in Irish rugby and Williams's satisfaction is likely to be reflected in a largely unchanged formation for the Welsh assignment.
That is conditional to some extent, however, on the availability of two of their Ireland players, Girvan Dempsey and Trevor Brennan, both of whom are recovering from shoulder injuries.
Nathan Spooner, the former Australian Test player, is available to challenge Andy Dunn for the outside-half position and Eric Miller's recovery from injury gives William an additional option of line forward.
Ulster will be strengthened by the inclusion of their two Lions, Tyrone Howe and Jeremy Davidson, when they take on Glasgow at Hughenden on Friday.
Munster, who have a free weekend, have heard that a hand injury which Anthony Foley sustained in Edinburgh is not serious.

"Pets lighten our days", true or false depends on the closeness of your ties to each other.
sort by best latest
My beautiful, nearly 9 year old, wheaton colored, Scottish Terrier, MacGregor died July 2012 from bladder cancer. I miss him more than I can say. My adult daughter found a Potosi puppy mill Scottie at an animal hospital not a mile from my apartment. I went to visit the pup and found a neglected, though "on the mend", thin, black Scottie with sparkly eyes and a very friendly personality. We hit it off immediately. She had been treated recently by the vet for every parasite known to man, though she still had missing patches of hair and an absent skirt from a flea infestation that caused her to scratch until she only had raw skin left. She shook her head constantly due to a flea dermatitis she'd probably suffered with all 4 years of her life in the puppy mill. I brought her home this Friday and she and I are acclimating to life together. Already her fur is growing back 'shiny like a seal', and I will start a second round of Panacur for parasites this week. While I watch her curl up in MacGregor's bed, play just like he did with the menagerie of toys I gave him, and delight in healthy treats and Avoderm kibble, I am reminded of the indestructable bond I shared with my Scottie man, Mac and the new bond McCartney and I are forging. I feel nostalgia for all the wonderful Scotties I've known, reignited by this once suffering, little, puppy mill Scottie.

(WARNING: The following contains giant, Wun Wun-sized plot SPOILERS for 'Game of Thrones' recent season finale — Season 6, Episode 10. Proceed with whatever level of caution your friendly neighborhood Three-Eyed Raven suggests is wise.)
Now, there was a lot to love about the recent finale of Game of Thrones' sixth season (especially if you're fond of horrible, vengeance-fueled murder), but that doesn't mean the episode didn't also bring a whole lot of cruel plot-teasing along with the brutal, brutal awesomeness. A convoluted timeline has been getting a lot of the attention, as have the episode's multiple bloody homicides, but for many fans, the cruelest aspect of the show's finale had a lot more to do with its imminent ten-month absence from our screens, and the several plot threads it has left teasingly unresolved. And, so...
Let's Look At Game Of Thrones Season 6's Lingering Plot Threads
After all, what else are we going to spend the next ten months wondering about?
First up, then?
5. Queen Cersei Has One Hell Of A Fight On Her Hands
And I don't even mean the one that's currently sailing across the Narrow Sea with a trio of dragons and one hell of a grudge. Instead, Queen Cersei of House Lannister is presumably going to have a seriously hard time surviving the Iron Throne with her only real allies seeming to be a mad scientist and his lab-made monster. Fear can be an effective tool for (repressive) governance, but it's tough to wield it if every god-fearing member of society hates you, you're widely seen as having killed your own son (which seems likely at this point), and you have fewer allies than the average peasant.
How that's going to pan out very much remains to be seen, but it seems likely to be a matter of debate for, oh, about ten months or so. Meanwhile...
4. We Don't Yet Know Where Daenerys Is Planning To Land
Now, sure, we know that Daenerys is (finally) heading to Westeros, and that she has both Tyrell and Martell ships in tow, but that doesn't actually tell us all that much about where she's planning on landing. Will she head to Dorne, and work her way up Westeros with time to negotiate with noble families? Head straight for King's Landing, and a surprise attack on the "Mad Queen"? Sail straight to the North, and make all of those Stark/Targaryen team-up dreams come true?
As of yet, we simply don't know (though Daario's suggestion that he sail to the west coast suggests that Daenerys will most likely be landing on the east side of Westeros), though if the books are any guide, there's a possibility she might just end up a little south of Stannis's old haunt of Storm's End (as the not-in-the-show Aegon Targaryen did).
3. Arya Doesn't Seem To Care What People Expect Her To Do
Now, after Arya reminded Jaqen H'ghar that she was indeed still a Stark a few weeks back, many fans began salivating over the prospect of a Stark family reunion, with Jon, Sansa, Bran and Arya all teaming up to take on all comers. Now, that could still very much happen — with Bran and Arya both getting closer to Winterfell, if nothing else — but it doesn't seem as though the deadliest Stark is in all that much of a hurry.
After all, Arya's assassination of Walder Frey was — while fist-pumpingly deserved — not really the sort of action you'd expect from a young woman desperately trying to return to her family. Arya, it seems, may well still be set to go her own way, but exactly what road that takes her down remains to be seen. Could we even see a reunion with The Hound, and the duo teaming up to take down Cersei and The Mountain? Here's hoping. Of course, there's also the fact that...
2. Melisandre Just Became One Hell Of A Wild Card
After years of aiding the nearest available "prince that was promised" in their goals, Melisandre has suddenly found herself an unwilling free agent, at the exact same time that he faith seems to be wavering a little. What's next for R'hllor's reddest of women very much remains to be seen, but some of the possibilities are tantalizing. A shock defection to the (increasingly R'hllor approved) Daenerys Stormborn? A special team-up episode with Thoros of Myr? An attempt to redeem herself for all that child-burning last season? A sneaky assassination or two of those who would get in Jon's way? Jorah Mormont-style resilience in the face of banishment?
However things play out, one thing's for sure: We haven't seen the last of Melisandre just yet. Speaking of not seeing people, though (and last up):
1. Two Fan-Favorites Are Currently Missing-In-Action
Specifically, Brienne of Tarth, and Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. When last we left the pair, they both seemed a little unclear as to what their next move should be (with Brienne sailing away from Riverrun, and The Hound debating whether or not to team up with the Brotherhood) — a lack of clarity that looks set to linger on for another ten months or so.
After all, we didn't get even a glimpse of the duo's movements in that there season finale, leaving us to wonder just what they're going to get up to. Will they both wind up awkwardly serving Jon and Sansa at Winterfell? Will Brienne finally find Arya and fulfill her vow? Could we still see Clegane-Bowl, a little ways down the line? Or, just maybe, could we see Season 7 open with a huge, long-awaited reveal of a certain "lady"? It all very much remains to be seen.
And let's not even get started on whatever the hell Jorah Mormont is currently getting up to...

part of the United Kingdom, lying in the northeastern quadrant of the island of Ireland, on the western continental periphery often characterized as Atlantic Europe. Northern Ireland is sometimes referred to as Ulster, although it includes only six of the nine counties which made up that historic Irish province. In proximity to Scotland and to sea channels leading to England and Wales, Northern Ireland has long witnessed generations of newcomers and emigrants, including Celts from continental Europe and Vikings, Normans, and Anglo-Saxons. In the 17th century, the period of the so-called Ulster plantation, thousands of Scottish Presbyterians were forcibly resettled and English military garrisons built, arrivals that would institutionalize the ethnic, religious, and political differences that eventually resulted in violent conflict. Since the 1920s, when Northern Ireland was officially separated from Ireland, it has been tormented by sectarian violence. Notwithstanding the peacemaking...READ MORE

From Leaving The TARDIS To Becoming The Owner Of The Elder Wand
Former #DoctorWho companion Arthur Darvill has recently revealed that he would love to play young Dumbledore in the #FantasticBeasts sequel hitting cinemas in late 2018. Earlier this year, #JKRowling had announced that the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise will be made up of five films, with the first one already screening globally. Darvill said:
"Absolutely, (I'm up for it). D'you know what? I've made this pact with myself that when I hit a certain age, I'm only going to play wizards. I want to be that guy. So whether it's 10 years down the line or... When I can grow a salt and pepper beard, I would be totally happy just playing wizards for the rest of my life. But yeah, if they came knocking saying, 'We really want you to play the young Dumbledore', I'd definitely consider it!"
Arthur Darvill is popular for his role of Rory Williams in the long-running science fiction show Doctor Who. Darvill first appeared in Doctor Who in 2010 alongside the newly-regenerated Doctor played by Matt Smith, and also starred in the hit BBC series with Karen Gillian (Amy Pond), who went on to become a married couple. Darvill remained a permanent TARDIS companion with Gillian until 2012, when they departed the show in one of Doctor Who's most emotional episodes since its revival in 2005.
The Mystery Behind Dumbledore's Sexuality
News also rocked social media when JK Rowling hinted during a press conference that Dumbledore's sexuality will be explored in the Fantastic Beasts installments. Back in 2007, Rowling discussed the seventh and final #HarryPotter book (Deathly Hallows). The seventh and penultimate story of the Harry Potter trilogy had hinted that Dumbledore and his past teenage friend/feared wizard, Gellert Grindelwald, had a relationship beyond friends.
"Well, I can't tell you everything I would like to say, because this is obviously a five-part story, so there's lots to unpack in that relationship. I will say that you will see Dumbledore as a younger man, and quite a troubled man, because he wasn't always the sage. He was always very clever, but we'll see what I think was the formative period of his life. As far as his sexuality is concerned, watch the space."
Dumbledore and Grindelwald had a contentious duel during the year 1945, which Albus Dumbledore won. Harry finds this out during the very first story of the franchise, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone. The director of the Fantastic Beasts films, David Yates, confirmed that a younger Dumbledore will be discussed in the first installment of the spin-off franchise, which is set in 1926 New York. Later on, Yates had officially confirmed that a young Dumbledore will be physically on screen in the second installment.
When Is The Next Fantastic Beasts Film Due For Release?
As it stands, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 is scheduled for release in the United States on November 16th, 2018. The release date is currently unconfirmed for the United Kingdom, which may mean the UK and USA will get the same release date.
On the other hand, it has been revealed that the sequel will be set in the beautiful city of Paris, confirmed by David Yates. Why Paris? The French wizarding community is related to the school Beauxbatons, which was featured in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, during the Tri-Wizard Tournament.
So for now, enchant yourself in the magical world of the first Fantastic Beasts film.
Fantastic Beasts and Beauty and the Beast have more in common than you might have thought (and it's not just in the name):

Increasing numbers of people are enticed every year to visit an Asian beach resort. That's no surprise really. You will find a number of very appealing locations in Asia, in the obvious waters in Thailand towards the beach resorts in Filipino.
They provide a number of services which have elevated in quality because of the truth that tourism is a vital supply of earnings for a lot of of individuals nations. For instance, in lots of of individuals beach resorts, diving fanatics can practice their most favorite sport in very waters teeming with colorful seafood. It may sound just like a description of paradise itself, however this is not implausible whatsoever.
However the impressive scenery does not stop here. Golden soft beaches stretching for miles, tropical touches, the closeness of mountain tops in lots of of individuals areas, are only a couple of glimpses of the items Asian beach resorts can provide.
In a nutshell, Asia has turned into a hot destination. Another large advantage is always that things are cheap, hotels, food, everything incorporated here m88. Obviously, you will find a number of services, and individuals who're more pricey offer better services, like all over the world really. But because an over-all trait, yes, it is relatively inexpensively.
Also, like a note worth mentioning, make sure to make the most from your visit by taking pleasure in each place's cultural richness. You won't lack that anywhere you use Asia, and you'll also discover that individuals are specifically hospitable. All you need to do is request, and you'll be clarified within the most enjoyable manner.
The fauna can also be overwhelming in Asia. There's a whole variety of colorful wild birds that'll be the delight of bird-viewers. If you're not one, you'll be able to just enjoy their presence and have a couple of photos. That can make a pleasant memory.
Cruise vacations are another favorite activity of vacationers much more Asia. Water is definitely very close, and whether it's a cruise on the large river or perhaps a cruise on outdoors sea, it's your choice to consider. In Bangkok, for instance, if you're reserved inside a hotel that's close to the Chao Phraya River, you are able to serve the dinner on the river cruise.
Areas are another exotic attraction which make an entire mid-day pass immediately. Cheap and exotic things result in the shoppers' delight. And there's anything you may want in a single of individuals places, and that i do mean anything. Make certain you visit certainly one of individuals places too, much more Asia.
The rise in the standard of services is apparent. When you are getting reserved in a hotel, you may expect full services and quality. And hotels include a number of facilities, most of them offering private beaches, even golf terrains, elephant rides, etc. Which is dependent around the positioning from the hotel, so that's why you ought to perform a bit of research.
Like a final note, there are already sampled the astonishing Asian cuisine, now it's time you need to do cara daftar m88. And when you are in Asia itself, why no make money from it and taste the initial recepies which are so famous?
The final outcome is: you cant ever fail with Asia. The benefits I presented you are a couple of and therefore are general, the fact is that you're going to get much more surprises whenever you really make it happen, with respect to the placed you chose for the holiday. Then when doubtful in regards to a holiday place, an Asian beach resort is the answer.

By Cory Sebastian of Sebastian's Fine Food & SpiritsCôtes du Rhône, FrancePaul Jaboulet Aine's Parallele 45 rosé comes from the Côtes du Rhône in France, just two kilometers from the forty-fifth north parallel. Consisting of fifty percent grenache, forty percent cinsault and ten percent syrah, this wine resembles the Domaine de Nizas in style and flavor. The Parallele 45 is very light in color. Ripe berries are very recognizable on the nose and the palate. A certain tartness is detected, almost like pomegranate or cranberry. A slightly dry, smooth finish makes this another easy-drinking wine. Parallele 45 would pair well with many things, but I most prefer it with spicy Thai food. Regardless of the pairing, this is another Côtes du Rhône rosé winner and is priced around $13.
By Cory Sebastian of Sebastian's Fine Food & SpiritsDry Creek Valley, CaliforniaFounder Giovanni Pedroncelli first purchased land in 1927 but didn't start producing rosés until 1951 and the Zinfandel Rosé in 1954. Pedroncelli was among the first Sonoma County vintners to advertise the region on his winery's label. The winery makes several varietals, and if the dry rosé of zinfandel is any indication of the quality of their other wines, I would recommend checking out their other offerings. Plum was the first thing I noticed on the palate, with berry notes. The zin adds nice body and a taste of lush fruit. The saignee method is employed to make the zinfandel rosé, common for some of the heavier varietals. It finishes with a really nice acidic taste. I recommend this with anything on the grill. This wine even stands up to beef without overpowering a chicken breast or hot dog. At around $10, this is a great value!
By Cory Sebastian of Sebastian's Fine Food & SpiritsNapa Valley, CaliforniaYes, please! One hundred percent cabernet sauvignon grapes sourced from Atlas Peak, Rutherford, Wooden Valley and Howell Mountain compose this wine, that, in my opinion, sets the bar for cab rosés. This wine is produced at the Michael Mondavi estate by Rob Mondavi, Jr. The winery started very small, producing just a few cases. Soaring demand has led to greater production but with no drop in quality. I'M Deep rosé is very dark in color due to prolonged skin contact and is a bit on the dry side, with red fruit on the nose. I didn't get as much strawberry as some of the tasting notes would suggest, instead finding more raspberry and cranberry notes in the front palate with the perfect amount of acidity. This wine would pair especially well with salmon or any other fish with a little higher oil content. I'M Deep is another reasonable rosé, retailing for about $13.
By Cory Sebastian of Sebastian's Fine Food & SpiritsWillamette Valley, OregonElk Cove pinot noir rosé is a treasure. Willamette Valley is renowned for producing high-quality pinot noir and pinot gris, and this rosé hits the mark. Pinot noir is one of my favorite varietals for rosé, typically nice and light with lovely strawberry notes, and this is no different. It's very crisp, bright and very light in color. Another family-owned and -operated winery, the owner's son, Adam Godlee, grew up in the vineyard and has been the vintner for over fifteen years. With fewer than 2,000 cases produced, Elk Cove pinot noir rosé is still handcrafted, but accessible to all. I love this wine and will be buying it for my summer patio endeavors. It is very easy to drink and would pair well with just about anything—I plan to try it with grilled scallops or crab cakes.

NEC Corporation recently developed a carbon nanotube (CNT) transistor using a coating process. The basic operation of the new transistor with advanced characteristics has been verified, confirming its application in the printed electronics field. NEC views the new CNT transistor technology as key to the development of electronic devices with minimal environmental impact and will continue to proactively conduct research in this area to realize environmentally sound products.
The demand for electronics has rapidly increased in recent years along with environmental concern. This has brought about the need for more advanced electronic products that simultaneously achieve reduced environmental impact. Organic transistors and other printed electronics are one potential solution to this problem. Printed electronics' technologies are unique in that they allow transistors to be formed by printing directly onto the substrate. This means that manufacturing processes can be dramatically simplified in comparison to conventional semiconductors; waste materials generated through manufacturing processes can be reduced, and CO2 emissions can be reduced by more than 90%.
The channel materials of conventional research organic transistors generally demonstrate little mobility and are therefore considered unsuitable for electronic devices with high-speed operation. The basic operations for a transistor formed using this coating process were confirmed for the newly developed CNT transistor, which adopts CNTs as its channel material to allow 100 times greater mobility than regular organic transistors. The research results prove the potential of CNTs as a core transistor material, even in the field of printed electronics. Further research is expected to show the potential to dramatically expand the scope of printed electronics applications.

Testing challenges await Ulster pair Kane and Lyons
Two of Ulster's leading sportscar racers, Steven Kane and Richard Lyons, return to track action this weekend on opposite sides of the world.
Kane anchors the factory Bentley team as they take on the challenge of the Nurburgring 24-hour race in Germany and Lyons is back in the Far East with the Craft-Bamboo Aston Martin team for the start of the Asian Super GT series in Korea.
Hillsborough-based Lyons is re-united with experienced Hong Kong driver Frank Yu for the six-round Asian series, which begins at the Korean grand prix circuit in Yeongam.
"Frank and I have had some good races in the past and I'm hoping that we can build on this and take the fight to the other contenders," said former Formula Nippon and Japanese GT champion Lyons.
Kane, meanwhile, shares one of two M-Sport run Bentley Continental GT3s with Andy Meyrick and Guy Smith at the Nurburgring for a race which incorporates part of the German Grand Prix circuit and the old Nordschleife loop, stretching the lap to 25 kilometres.
"None of us underestimates the difficulty of this race but we have prepared well and are up for the challenge," he said.

Mrs. Jennifer Stanton, wife of U.S. Navy Captain Mike Stanton, Commanding Officer, Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Bath, Maine, made the first cut on the ship's first steel plate to signify the start of construction. Captain Stanton's San Diego detachment is responsible for overseeing construction on the T-AKE program. The U.S. Navy has awarded NASSCO contracts for eight dry cargo/ammunition ships and holds options for an additional four ships. If all the options are exercised, the 12-ship program would have a total value of $3.7 billion and become the largest contract in NASSCO's history. The contracts will provide sustained employment for 1,500 to 1,800 NASSCO employees and contribute millions of dollars per year in payroll, tax revenues and purchases from local suppliers during the life of the contract, which could run through 2010. The first T-AKE, named the Lewis and Clark to honor the two legendary explorers who led an expeditionary force from 1804 to 1806 to explore the American West, was launched on May 21, 2005. The ship is in the final stages of construction alongside NASSCO's pier, with delivery scheduled for early next year. The second T-AKE, to be named the Sacagawea in honor of the Shoshone Indian woman who acted as guide and interpreter for Lewis and Clark, is scheduled to be launched in the spring of 2006. The T-AKEs are 210 meters (689 feet) in length and 32.2 meters (105.6 feet) in beam, with a design draft of 9.12 meters (29.9 feet). The ships will carry almost 7,000 metric tons of dry cargo and ammunition and 23,500 barrels of cargo fuel. The T-AKEs will be the first modern Navy ships to combine proven international marine technologies such as an integrated electric-drive propulsion system that can achieve a speed of 20 knots, and commercial design features that will minimize their cost of operation and maintenance over their expected 40-year lives.

U.S. Air Force officials pull MLK Day 'Fun Shoot' flyer
Military officials have pulled a provocative flyer featuring Martin Luther King Jr. atop a "fun shoot" at an Air Force Base in Georgia to be held on the holiday honoring civil rights icon.
The flyer advertised a noon gathering on Jan. 18 for the Robins Air Force Base Trap and Skeet Club. An official at the military base's Outdoor Recreation office said it was created by a marketing team.
"We didn't make the flyer," said Leroy Minus, the official. "We squared it away. We got rid of the picture."
The base, in a statement, called it an "honest mistake."
Here's the full statement:
We're deeply sorry for any offense or harm caused by our insensitivity and failure to provide appropriate oversight of our marketing process. The flyer does not represent the values, opinions or views of the Department of Defense, the Air Force or Robins Air Force Base leadership and its employees.
We realized the inappropriateness of the advertisement several days ago and immediately began removing the flyer. There was no malice of forethought in the flyer's creation and it was never the base's intention to portray Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in a negative light. It was an honest mistake, to which we've personally counseled the parties involved and will provide them with remedial training and appropriate oversight to prevent this sort of inattention from occurring in the future.
Again, we offer our heartfelt apology to those affected by our thoughtlessness. We hold the legacy of Dr. King in the highest regard.

My grandson is in the 5th grade at Hickory Flat Charter Elementary School in McDonough, Georgia. About three months ago, his school engaged the students and their parents in a Power Point "Word Association" assignment. The selected students, who just happened to be "gifted students," were given about 25 vocabulary words. The words were turned into a pictograph. The students had to look at the picture and determine which of his vocabulary words the pictograph represented. For instance, the first pictograph opened to a small baby lying in his crib with big eyes, sparkling over a toy mobile that his tiny hand had finally managed to grasp. The definition for the pictograph was "fascinate." Another pictograph showed a man who had gained a lot of weight. The picture showed a before and after image of the man. The man was the murderer, George Zimmerman. The definition for the pictograph was "substantial."
From the time those 5th graders laid eyes on George Zimmerman via the pictograph, until the rest of their adult lives, they will have a "word association" image of the White murderer of an innocent Black youth ingrained inside their developing brains as 'SUBSTANTIAL!."
Believe me—it is a powerful association message! After I was exposed to the assignment, now, whenever I read or hear SUBSTANTIAL, I automatically think about George Zimmerman! Zimmerman—a murderer = Substantial! This is horrible! This is inhumane! Yet,…treatment like this… is to be expected all over this Western Hemisphere.
Just like Robins AFB apologized for its horrific flyer, my grandson's school apologized for their oversight. THEY DID NOT MEAN IT! Their apologies are in vain and are equated to the evil man whom God forgave seventy and sevenfold times. Then came God to relieve the enslaved of his agony by reversing the hands of captivity and enslaving the ruling masters and oppressors. I say unto you, America, "The Lord's wroth is RIGHT NOW upon you. We will accept no more vain oblations. Our collective prayer is going to be that God come quickly to enslave you just as you have enslaved His redeemed, for these past seventy and sevenfold years."
As opposed to a "dishonest mistake"?!?!?!?
Save your rebel money boys etc etc etc.
Having grown up in the South and then moved away, I see that the level of education and intelligence hasn't changed.
Fake Hero. His real name was not even Martin Luther and the day celebrated as his birthday is not correct. Kind of reminds me of BARRY SOETORO.
White folk have a peculiar sense of humor only they share.
The term is "malice aforethought" not "malice of forethought."
Typical Naggers....
@UncleMike Typical Krackers...
Were they going to use special Skeet with a picture of MLKjr on them?
This is exactly the kind of things Donald Trump is talking about. PC-oriented silly-A bullcrap! It's why he has such a huge following who are as angry as he is. That's why he will be the next President of this country. People are sick and tired of it.
I'm 100% for getting rid of the PC shaming system & I love the fact DT has stirred up the political system. But, this is dumb. Whoever signed off on this is dumb.
Off Subject, but of interest nonetheless (not reported by the DJC):
Hillary Clinton-Pinocchio, confirmed that she had bought a ticket for the upcoming PowerBall Jackpot. Appearing on ABC "Good Morning America" she was asked by George Stephanopoulos, host of the show, what would she do if she won (the lottery), she replied that she "would use the money to fund her campaign."
With this news, I must retract my condemnations about the Lame-Stream, drive-by Media for only asking the Demokrat candidates "softball" questions. Stephanopoulos hit her with a difficult question that took quite some time for her to gather together an answer. You could see it in her facial expression – after her cackle, of course – that she was flummoxed by the question…expecting one MUCH easier question to answer. Way to go, ABC!
Um, she's the likely democrat nominee, and this is a political blog. Not so rational of a thought there.
A better idea, sport, is that you should read other media to see what this wommon is going to do to this country if (God forbid) she ever is elected president. You leftists refuse to see anything wrong with her and the post was to point out the utter bias in the lame-Stream, drive-by media..but, of course, that passed right over your head.
A doctor's visit three weeks ago confirmed that I am in excellent health. You might benefit from one also; tell him or her that you have been hearing voices constantly and perhaps you should undergo an MRI.
@MichaelHannigan You really appear to have some type of fixation on Hillary Clinton. Maybe you should see a doctor about that.
@NorthAtlanta @RationalThoughts67 Yeah, an article referring to a skeet shoot, perfect place to discuss Hillary Clinton. I understand, trust me, I really do. Its all so subconscious with you guys.
This is typical of this base. I was stationed there as an airmen and a worked as a civil servant. It took a law suit against the Air Force to promote any African American above GS13 to management in the 80's and it took a direct letter from the Secretary of the Air Force that instructed several department to place President Obama photo in hallways and atrium after felling to do so for over a year. Trust me, they knew exactly what they were during!
@militerryman I agree. I grew up in Macon (and am a caucasian). That area is still stuck in 1970s socially.
Military here.Are you kidding me? I was Army, daughter was joining Air Force after hearing this, that's obviously not the right service for her. Welcome to Georgia! This state is in deplorable conditions right now. Police brutality, racism, drugs, etc.
Nice try. I'm stationed at RAFB. The organizers of the event and creator of the flyer were black.
Maybe having a public orgy would be more appropriate since the Rev Dr Martin Luther King was a serial adulterer
And the King of all the adulterers: None other than His Slickness, Slick Willie Clinton.
That's the worst you can say about him. Good for you since many of our Presidents were also adulterers. Know your history before posting things.
Stick to English and you may be taken seriously...
Much ado about nothing...
Well, the base is in GA. Hello?
That's why they're in the military.
Sigh. Things like this make it very depressing to realize marketing gurus make twice what I do. Common Sense has left the building.
Hmmm. Looks like you chose the wrong station in life to make a living...Get yourself a good marketing job and your problems will be solved.
I wonder if on Steve Irwin's birthday the Georgia Aquarium has "pet a stingray day"
Welcome to the uneducated South. China, ISIS, Russia, and North Korea know where to invade first. It won't even take nuclear weapons.
@Ralph-45 Well partner why the heck are you here? Simple mistake, but always an opportunity for a cheap shot (pun intended).
@Ralph-45 more likely to invade Kalifornia or New York or Shitkago - no one is armed, right?
As I have told you in the past, why don't you move and then you and we will be happier about it? Maybe Callfornicatia or another loony west coast state?
@Ralph-45 Won't need weapons. Just bring a Trump-type.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Ummmm......I'm guessing no one knew MLK preached non-violence?
@someonesdad @ATLEng Remind me how MLK died? I seem to have forgotten.
@ATLEng Is skeet shooting considered violence now?
@RationalThoughts67 @allamerican @ScubaSteve @someonesdad @ATLEng No. People like him make their mothers look bad.
@allamerican @ScubaSteve @someonesdad @ATLEng No, he was shot because he was a civil rights leader. Was he marching when he was shot? No.
People like you make the south look bad.
@RationalThoughts67 @allamerican @ScubaSteve @someonesdad @ATLEng uh, no, he was hanging at a Motel, probably waiting to get his 'action' for the night out the door...
@allamerican @ScubaSteve @someonesdad @ATLEng And THAT is justification for murder? Good god. Please change your username, as it is a blatant misnomer.
@ScubaSteve @someonesdad @ATLEng He died because he defied a FEDERAL court order not to march in Memphis.
Pity it hasn't done any good (re: Chicago, south side).
Truth be told, the same may be said about you, sport.
RIDICULOUS!---Nothing could be more peaceful / [non-violent] or relaxing than trapshooting or skeet shooting.
@Joeleejohnson Because a "fun shoot" when the guy died of assassination by gun, totally appropriate. Duh.

Rowwe Diamante Trailer (2015)
At some point all parents and even teachers have to deal with rebellious teens and troubled children. This is exactly where our journey starts. In a desperate attempt to get two opposing groups of troubled teens back on track, they are sent away to Donkerhoek Bootcamp, set just outside Pretoria. The troubled teens are in for a rude awakening when they are welcomed by a guide straight out of a Western. Upliftment programmes, discipline and growing to respect one another are just some of the challenges that face them. The newcomers, surrounded by the unknown, are forced to share rooms with their rivals and in true trouble-fashion; chaos and a battle for power amongst the different ethnic groups ensue. Added to this battle of will, another layer of intrigue is added as only one girl was sent along on this forced expedition. Love might be in the air, but is it always what it seems?

Handle add-on's, and their prices
Prices of knives w/o add-on's – HERE
Any add-on prices below are added to the cost of the knife
A bolster is between the blade and the handle wood and protects the handle wood from absorbing water from the end grain of the handle wood. Water will be soaked up like a sponge without protection. I use metal – brass, copper, stainless.
I use either brass or copper bolsters (3/4″ x 3/8″) , which are pinned/rivets and glued onto the blade steel.
Copper or brass bolsters – copper bolsters cost $20 per knife above cost on the price list.
Brass bolsters are included in the price of any kitchen knife.
Stainless bolsters – $45.00 per knife. These are secured usually with nickel silver pins or stainless pins. Cost is so high as stainless is rock hard and must be sanded before adding wood handles and spacers- adds. I can also use brass pins which will contrast with silver stainless.
⇐Left: click to enlarge – one example of bolster spacers.
Bolster spacers are between the brass bolsters and the wood.
I stock 2 thicknesses of bolster material – 1/8″ and .031 thick along with various thicknesses of stabilized burled hard wood.
1/8″ bolster spacers come in red, black and white.
.031 vulcanized spacer materials come in red, black, white and green.
Cost of bolster spacers, of either 1/8″ thick or .030 or combinations –
1 insert for $20.00
2 inserts for $30.00
3 inserts for $40.00
4 inserts for $60.00
Below: green/red/green triple bolster spacer add-on, .031″ thick. Click to enlarge
Stabilized wood
If you want stabilized wood, I now offer stabilized Redwood for $5.00 to ordering clients. This charge covers cost of shipping and stabilizing my Redwood at a company in Arizona that does this. I consider Redwood a dark wood. If you want a different stabilized dark wood, or a light wood then tell me and I can send you some sensible options. There is a charge if I need to deal with 'out of the shop wood'. Extra cost to you for using of of the shop wood is $20, plus the full cost of the stabilized wood you choose and shipping cost to me.
Bed spacers (see fotos below) are strictly .031 thick only. I have black, red, green or white in stock, but there are some other colors that can be ordered, if they exist. Just ask and we can see if I can order it.
Bed spacers run horizontally below the wood, your choice of colors:
1 spacer – $25.00 per knife
2 spacers – $32.00
3 spacers – $45.00
Bottom left – Red/white bed spacers. White bolster spacer, copper bolsters.
Below right – Bed spacer, .031 black/white array with Yew wood & there is also Cocobolo and nickel silver bolster spacers.
Double Brass or double copper bolsters –
$45 per knife (see set below – click photos for closer look)

There are plenty of great kosher cheeses out there -- and they certainly do not cost as much as they go for (if you can find them) in the grocery store.
Any idea about a wholesale kosher cheese seller, or an option, even online, to puchase bulk?
I mean, I even called Anderson Intl to check out their new Organic & Kosher line, and they said "We protect our distributors, go through them."
