Author Name: Tina Bass
State where you live: Virginia
A Little about yourself:
Let's see a little about me. I'm getting ready to 'get away' for summer vacation with my best friend. A week of just girl time! Actually I've been ready since the first snow flake fell, but then again I'm not a winter person. But it's not all fun and games. The setting is a lake house that just 'happens' to play into The Safe Series story lines.
- Is being an Author what you thought you would do with your life?
Honestly, it was the last thing I ever thought I would do.
- What made you decide to be an Author?
I don't know if I 'decided' to do it or not. As long as I can remember I've always had "stories" in my head, but never thought that much about. I just assumed everyone did. Then I jokingly made a comment about writing a book to a friend of mine. She told me that if I did she would help me all she could. So I sat down and just started writing and before I knew it, His Safe Keeping, was published.
- What would you tell any new authors that are breaking into the business?
I'm pretty new myself, so I still have so much to learn, but I would say that if you can't spend a lot of time (or money) on writing, editing, advertising, promoting, and just getting your work out there, then I would consider looking into going with a publishing company. And, keep writing!!
- What is the strangest thing you have written about?
Well if you ask anyone who has known me since school age then every one of them (including me) would say the whole process of me writing is strange. All through school, and even years after, I never liked reading. It has only been in the past five or six years that I started to enjoy reading. So for me to not only write a book, but to now be working on my third book, that is very strange. But, it's a good kind of strange.
- What is the hardest part of being an author?
Finding the time to write. Some days I have so much going on that I barely have the time to write a sentence. And at times I sit down to write for "just a little while," and before I know it hours have passed and it's way past my bed time. Of course, I end up paying for that the next day. I'm way too old to pull an all-nighter.
- Do you love what you do?
I do. I truly love putting the stories that are in my head on paper and sharing them.
- Do you have a family?
Yes. I have three children of my own. Three that feel like my own; and four (and one on the way), grandbabies.
- What was your first published work?
His Safe Keeping.
- What are you currently working on? Can you share any of it with us?
Right now I'm working on book 3 of the Safe Series, Safe in the Storm. Yep, it's Storm's turn, and everyone who has read Safe With Him has already met Storm. Now there will be more of Storm, and Storm and Bree's past, as well as what happened with Lizzy.
- New release book cover?
My newest is Safe With Him, book 2 of The Safe Series:
- Have you ever wanted to quit writing? If so, why?
Not yet, lol. Then again, I'm still very new. But, I really don't see me wanting to quit any time soon. I've got too many stories still to share.
- What genres do you write?
Contemporary romance with a light erotic touch.
- Anything else you would like to share?
Next month my small little town, Appomattox, will be having a five-day sesquicentennial celebration, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lee's surrender to Grant, which ended the Civil War.
- Give us some unusual fun facts about you.
I don't know how "unusual" it is because for me, it's pretty normal, but I'm a true sweet freak. And I say freak because I freakin love sweets. I eat some kind of sweet, usually in the candy variety, every single day. I have, on numerous occasions, bought birthday cake; just because. Just because I love birthday cake. My kids are used to this so they think nothing of seeing birthday cake in the house when it's not even close to being anyone-that-we-know's birthday. But, hey, every day is someone's birthday. So I'm just helping them celebrate.

text: Before we can answer the question of if it can be reversed, let us first look at what exactly a vasectomy is and what it entails. What is a vasectomy? A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is performed as a form of male contraception. It involves the blocking of the sperm from leaving the testes, meaning that the male ejaculate will no longer be able to impregnate the woman. Once performed, you will still have normal testes, hormones, erections, ejaculation and libido, simply with the risk of pregnancy removed. With this piece of mind, many men do claim to have better sex lives. A vasectomy can fail if the tube re-joins itself but that risk is 1:1000 which makes it safer than any other contraception method such as hormone and barrier methods. What does the procedure involve? A conventional vasectomy involves making 1 or 2 cuts in the scrotum skin to reach the vas deferens. This is then cut with a small piece often being removed, leaving a gap between the ends. The doctor may sear the ends and then tie the cut ends with a suture. The same process is repeated on the other vas either through the same cut or if necessary, through a new one. The cuts on the scrotum may be closed with dissolvable stitches or allowed to close on their own. Here at The Gold Coast Vasectomy Centre, Dr Michael Read has over 30 years of experience in performing vasectomies. His extensive knowledge and understanding of the procedure have allowed him to master a no-scalpel (keyhole) vasectomy. This method exposes the sperm carrying vas deferens tube through a tiny puncture in the scrotal skin, and then pulling the vas deferens through this. A segment is then removed and the end closest to the body is sealed. The cord is then returned to the scrotum and the hole closes spontaneously. No stitches are necessary. The open-ended no-scalpel vasectomy is the preferred technique because the risk of complication is much lower. What happens after the vasectomy? After the procedure, active sperm do remain in the vas deferens tube ahead of the cut for some months after the procedure so do not stop contraception until your semen is clear and you have been advised to stop. Eventually all of the sperm will die, dissolve and be absorbed by the body, a process that occurs with all cells. The vasectomy does not affect the testes so they will continue to function as normal and produce sperm, the only difference is that it will no longer be entering into your semen as it did in the past. The sperm alone adds very little to the volume and appearance of your semen meaning that ejaculation fluid will look the same after a vasectomy. Can the process be reversed? In short, yes, but the decision to have a vasectomy should be made viewing it as a permanent means of birth control. The fact of the matter is that a vasectomy can often be reversed BUT this process can be costly and the majority of the time, it is unsuccessful. The reversal is performed in a hospital or clinic where you will undergo general anaesthesia so that you do not feel anything during the process. This surgery is far more complicated than the initial vasectomy because the doctor has to rejoin the tubes so that sperm can once more reach your semen. It normally takes between 2-4 hours and you will be able to go home on the same day. The recovery time is about 2 weeks after. For this reason, it is strongly advised that all parties involved be fully educated and come to a unanimous decision before advancing with the procedure. You will receive all of the relevant information and be given the opportunity to ask questions in your consultation but if you are considering the reversal process now, perhaps you need to take more time to decide if a vasectomy is right for you. If you are interested in finding out more about a vasectomy or would like to book an appointment then feel free to call the Gold Coast Vasectomy Centre on (07) 5531 3205 or visit our website to book an appointment online.

Here at GinFest HQ, we are receiving emails from gin producers asking about Andalucía. Where is it in relation to Spain? What it is? Where it is near? How big is it? Do they drink gin there? (do they ever!).
So this page is mainly for UK and Irish gin producers who are interested in getting their gins showcased at festivals in the country that imports more gin from the UK & Ireland, than ANY other country in the world (barring the U.S).
So here is Andalucía in green, in relation to Spain. Big isn´t it!
It´s where we are putting on the first of the Gin Festivals in 2016 and 2017.
Andalucía is our base. And it is vast! It is the biggest autonomous region of Spain. It is made up of eight provinces, that all have different characters, landscapes and people. If you have heard of, but never been to, cities like Malaga, Almeria, Sevilla, Cadiz, Granada, as well as towns like Marbella, Puerto Banus, Torremolinos, Ronda, Nerja, Mojacar and Jerez; well they are all in Andalucía.
The 8 provinces of Andalucía. And everyone of them is stunning!
This is real Spain right here!
One thing the Andaluz people are known for, is their love of a party! This is the region of the flamenco cities, fiestas, siestas, the Costa del Sol, the Costa Tropical, the Costa de la Luz, big festivals, a bar every 50 metres in the towns and cities and a people who just love to live life.
And boy do they love their gin! There are hundreds of bars that specialise in gin. Many that have menus where customers chose from 30+ gins. And thousands more places that have at least 10 gins on their shelves. This is the region that helped transform how Gin and Tonic was served. With love, care and flair.
Yes, the big boys are here, Beefeater, Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Larios, Seagrams et al.
But Hendricks, Martin Miller and Andalucía´s very own Puerto de las Indias are big sellers too.
The bars, hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, cafes and the general public are thirsty for new gins.
Gin producers – why not yours?'!
We want gin producers to come to our festivals so they can experience this great region, have a great weekend break, showcase their superb products, meet new friends, fans and important contacts – and just enjoy life too! You gin maestros have no doubt earned it!
But do come back now!

Rafale Deal: Heres What Govt Informed The Parliament
Amid repeated questioning of the government on the Rafale deal, the central government informed the Parliament that Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with France for 36 Rafales was arrived at to meet the critical requirement of the Air Force (IAF) and was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS).
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman provided in a written reply,"In the present procurement, 36 Rafale aircraft are being procured in direct fly-away condition under IGA between the government of India and French Republic. In the IGA, better terms have been achieved in terms of better pricing, better maintenance terms and better delivery schedule,".
In September 2016, India and France signed the €7.87-billion agreement for the aircraft, spares, weapons, 10 years of annual maintenance and associated equipment. The deal has a 50% offset clause to be executed by Dassault and its partners.
In 2000, a proposal was mooted to procure 126 Mirage-2000 jets to replace the MiG-21s in service which was later converted to the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) for which the Request For Proposal (RFP) was issued in 2007. Of the 126, 18 were direct fly-away aircraft and 108 were to be licence manufactured in India.
On completion of field evaluation trials, only two of the six vendors were found to be fully compliant and the Dassault Aviation was declared the L1, Ms. Sitharaman said. "The contract negotiations had reached an impasse and the RFP was formally withdrawn on June 24, 2015. To meet the critical operational requirements of the IAF, 36 Rafale were procured through the IGA route," she stated.
Dassault has tied with up Reliance Defence to execute its share of the offset clause to which Ms. Sitharaman said the vendor was free to choose their partner.

OK Question 2 of the day. Does anyone know what to do with an old CPAP? It "sort of" works except for the computer inside. It was used when I got it and I have since attained a new one. Is there a place that buys them to refurbish or a place that will take it to recycle it?

Auto and Automotive Repair Tips
Discovering the right Auto Repair Shop
When you have to take care of your projects schedule and also other responsibilities, your motor vehicle is the thing you don't want causing problems you. This is why you have to be assured that your vehicle have been around in great condition or experience timely repairs in the event of trouble. You will need an automobile repair shop that one could truly rely on because of these services.
Car Service
Make sure you choose an automobile repair shop could trouble strikes because in these instances, time is an issue. It's also wise to read your vehicle owner�s manual to understand as soon as your vehicle needs servicing and the kind of areas to evaluate through these maintenance sessions. You'll be able to create a better option if you are not in no time.
Get recommendations
Getting recommendations is an excellent way to get leads on great repair shops in your town. Friends and colleagues who've used the service before are a great resource around the best repair shop. You need to proof of the repair shops work along with their costs depending on the experience with those you ask. Word of mouth recommendations feature honest insights from the experience working together with the mechanic, from customer care, quality of labor and overall process.
Price is not everything
When it comes vehicle repair, understand that your selection mustn't be based on price alone. An affordable rate does not guarantee quality service. The truth is, if the prices are lacking, likelihood is the garage isn't using OEM parts to mend your car or truck but instead cheaper aftermarket parts without guarantee of quality. A very high price will not also guarantee excellent service. Check up on other merits with the garage along with the professionals working there.
Before you decide to depend on a garage to always fix your car and deliver great service, you should ask a few pre-determined questions. An honest car mechanic shop will probably be ready to accept answering questions about their credentials, experience, warranty policies, certifications held by employees and cost amongst other things. Asking them questions upfront is a good way to get information fast.
Request a quote
Auto Mechanic
If the vehicle needs repairs, you will get and compare estimates from different repair centers. Written estimates are great for comparing what different car service shops are offering. The estimate is additionally likely to keep your mechanic on target in the repair without adding on unneeded services. When you describe your trouble to the mechanic shop plus they respond having a written estimate, it is also easier to tell when they've misdiagnosed the problem. If the professional struggles to diagnose the challenge correctly and not offer to give an analysis before diagnosis, you have to be interested in such auto repair shops.

Cool Bunk Beds For Kids – Bunk beds are very handy for a children's room especially if you have two children sharing a room. They can be decorated in a variety of fun ways; if you have bunk beds, learn some sweet ideas to make them look festive. Decorate the bunk beds as night and day. Make headboards of thin wood and cut them in half-sun and a crescent shape. Paint and nail them to the head of each bunk.
Making cool bunk beds for kids with decorate dollhouse bed as another idea for a girl's room, or you can paint it to look like a boy clubhouse. Measuring the upper bunk lengthwise and cut a piece of thin wood or cardboard the same length, then cut it in half. Attach a piece at the foot of the top bunk, and one in the head, and secure them together in a point at the center. Paint like a pretty doll house roofs or clubhouse. Adding curtains in the roof's edges and pull they back with quite strict.
Try cool bunk beds for kids with decorate jungle themed bunk. Paint the base of the bed-trunk brown and wrap vines around it, or paint it in fun animal prints. Hang stuffed animals like monkeys from the top bunk. You can even paint snakes around the frames of the bed. Another idea is to take the stuffed birds, like toucans, and mount them on the posts.

His birth mother, just a child herself would not take him home from the hospital. Days after his arrival to the outside world, he would have his first experience with the harsh reality of loss. All that was familiar to him would be taken away in a moment and he would be placed into the arms of a stranger. The ding of the elevator jolted me from my mental wanderings and I stepped out into the hallway.
His timely arrival, two weeks before Christmas 2016, intersected my life in a season of grief. A year later I am overwhelmed by the gift that yes was, this little boy has radically changed me. We spent this last year, growing in love as a family, growing in number as family and finding joy in it all.
My borrowed baby of last year was the gift my family needed. Here are some of my thoughts on him, last year when he came. In November the court report read termination and this borrowed baby that changed our lives is now our forever baby. The paperwork is being filed and the name change will be final in February sometime.
Early December we celebrated him as he completed his first year of life. What a gift it has been raising him, he is strong, smart, joyful and loving. He wakes up each day with a smile, ready to be a kindness warrior. Bringing a smile to us all and the strangers behind us in line and at the grocery store. He is a beacon of joy and his little light shines so brightly.
We celebrated him over brunch with woodland creatures, beards and plaid. I am so thankful for our community, they all love my kiddos well. This was no exception, the guest list hit over 40 and we loved on this little boy in the red buffalo plaid shirt.
He smashed his whip cream covered pancake stack and enjoyed the sweet new vice of sugar. We sang happy birthday, which I have been singing to him everyday since he was born for just this moment. The goal was that he would not cry...my experiment worked and not a tear was shed as he listened with a smile to his favorite song!
Children are such a gift showing up in unexpected seasons, times and ways, radically changing our lives. As a foster parent we do not get months of preparation but moments, we do not share similarities but stories. We did not give them life but we are teaching them to live, to love, to heal and this little guy is going to be fierce.

How keeping your back loose can make your surf session that much better
By Jake Howard
Surfing often leads to lower-back pain. The older you get, the harder it is to escape.
With all the paddling, it's easy to over-arch your back and put a lot of stress on all of the nerves and muscles at the base of the spine. This causes tightness and flare-ups that can keep you out of the water when the next swell rolls in. Some of this can be alleviated by proper paddling technique, but in reality, stretching before you jump on your board is the best defense against inflammation and injury.
Before we look at the solutions for back issues, it's important to understand how, as surfers, we end up in pain in the first place. First, we put a lot of pressure on our lumbar vertebrae through over-arching when we lie on our board and paddle. As the spine gets compressed, muscles tighten and become sore and inflamed.
Unfortunately, your daily surf sessions may just be part of the problem. Sitting too much affects your hip flexors, which in turn affects your pelvis, which in turn jacks up your back and leads to increased discomfort. Your back pain may, in fact, just be where the problem is manifesting. A lot of times, lower-back pain is a result of tight hips, groin, quads, hamstrings and calves. And a weak core is going to make other muscles overcompensate and pull your back out of alignment. That is where regular yoga or Pilates classes can make a huge difference.
Once you're aware of the causes of lower back pain, you can start to treat it. Keep in mind, before you do anything, you should start with a light stretching routine to loosen up the muscles in the area and get some blood flowing to them. This will wake them up and get them warmed and prepped for deeper stretching. Exercises such as simple roll-downs to touch your toes, rolling your shoulders and neck, and basic quad and lunge stretches are all great.
Once you are feeling a little looser, you can start to focus more specifically on the back. Used extensively in yoga classes, the child's pose is an easy place to start. Beginning on all fours, rest your rear end on your heels and sit back onto them. Focus your weight back, slowly curve your spine until your forehead is resting on the mat. Start with your arms resting by your side with your palms facing up to the sky. This will help release tightness in your upper back and shoulders. Extending your arms above your head, stretch forward and feel the stretch through your lats and ribs. This will help lengthen and stretch the spine. While you're doing all of this, take deep breaths from your diaphragm, making sure to expand your ribs every time you inhale.
Bridging is a sure-fire way to get the quads and glutes firing, which will, in turn, provide your back with stability. Lying flat on your back, place your legs hip-width apart. Bend your knees so that your feet are firmly planted on the mat with toes facing straight forward (make sure your feet, knees and hips are all in alignment). Place your arms straight by your sides with palms facing down and scoot your feet back until your fingertips touch your heels. From this position, lift your hips toward the sky until they're in alignment with a straightened spine. Your weight should be focused on your feet and your neck at the base of your spine. As you roll down out of this position, sink each vertebra down one at a time. This will help articulate each joint and loosen up the entire spine. Repeat several times until you feel your hips, quads and glutes are all warmed up.
The Figure Four stretch is another one that's great for surfing. Lying on your back, place your legs hip-width apart. Bend your knees until your feet are flat on the ground. From there, rest your right ankle on your left knee. With your arms, reach between your legs, interlacing your fingers behind your left thigh and cautiously pull your knee into your chest, exhaling as you do so. Hold the stretch, then switch legs and repeat. You should feel this stretch in your glutes, hips and piriformis.
There are obviously a lot more stretches, yoga poses and strength routines that can benefit surfers, but these are few stretches that are easy enough to do on the beach before you paddle out and could make a difference when you're trying to squeeze yourself in that next barrel section.


text: Richard Austin 0 Posted October 30, 2018 I recently updated CCleaner only to find that Avast AV software had been installed without me requesting it. I have read that this is justified since all PCs should run AV software. That is arguable, however I do not understand why the Avast installation script did not detect that I already have Sophos AV installed. Running two different AV software packages at the same time is not recommended. To add insult to injury I am not unable to completely remove Avast. I have run AvastClear.exe and AvastClear10r4.exe in Safe Mode as Administrator after first removing Sophos AV. However, after this, there are still Avast Registry entries and also a number of files that I am unable to remove. This may be seen as an Avast problem rather than a Piriform one, but since Piriform are responsible for me being in this position I would appreciate some assistance in resolving the matter.

"New Orleans Begins Confiscating Firearms"
No civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns or other firearms, said P. Edwin Compass III, the superintendent of police. "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said.
But that order apparently does not apply to hundreds of security guards hired by businesses and some wealthy individuals to protect property.
Thanks to Jack Soltysik and Brian O'Connor for sending me this article.

Of course I got carried away; having scanned the pages it was easy to create extra blank frames to add more photos that weren't originally in the album.
I printed it on cheap printer paper in black and white just to see what I could do with it. The images are concertinaed and the end pages glued to the cover. This was just a quick way to explore the idea rather than sewing but I quite like the way it opens out.

The stress to make much more loans to minorities (study: to borrowers with weak credit histories) became relentless. Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act, empowering regulators to punish banks that failed to "meet the credit wants" of "low-revenue, minority, and distressed neighborhoods." Lenders responded by loosening their underwriting standards and producing increasingly shoddy loans. The two government-chartered mortgage finance firms, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, encouraged this "subprime" lending by authorizing ever more "flexible" criteria by which higher-risk borrowers could be qualified for property loans, and then purchasing up the questionable mortgages that ensued.
Chinese state-owned enterprises also blur the line among official government finance and private flows FDI or joint ventures can come from firms that are either private or state-owned.

You ought to be quite consistent. Delegate a distinct area or even much better, acquire a little box, to make it a permanent storing area for the household bills.

Fast Track to Health Study – a combined response from key players in the eating disorder sector.
There has been significant media attention and subsequent concerns within our community in relation to the Fast Track research trial being undertaken by the Sydney Children's Hospital Network (The Children's Hospital at Westmead) and Monash Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
We would like to express that we share these concerns and have been working to determine the best course of action.
The Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED), Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV), Eating Disorders Queensland (EDQ), and the Butterfly Foundation have taken the time to deliberate carefully, hear the concerns of our community, obtain further information and provide a considered combined response.
We agree that there are strong concerns about the safety of the young people involved in the trial. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, with onset common during adolescence.
Research investigators within this trial have indicated that there is evidence that modified alternate day fasting has achieved weight loss in adults; however we believe that there is a lack of evidence that this is sustained long term. We are concerned that an approach that has not yet shown long-term sustainability in adults is being trialled in a vulnerable adolescent population at greatest risk of developing an eating disorder.
A complaint was made to the Sydney Children's Hospital Network Human Research Ethics Committee last year by a group of 29 eating disorder professionals, and an independent ethics review was undertaken at this time. There were some additional safeguards requested, which we understand have since been put in place.
In discussion with the principal researchers involved in the trial, we have requested the following:
- The risks of developing an eating disorder are clearly stated in the participant and parent information sheets, and on the trial website;
- Additional psychological support for participants throughout the trial;
- Additional screening for anxiety and distress at key points during the trial;
- Specific training in Eating Disorders for all clinicians involved with participants.
As representatives of the eating disorder sector, we would like to thank our community and members for raising these concerns. We have expressed our concerns to the trial's investigators and will continue to update you on responses and actions taken.

In addition, The Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) has made an individual statement with regard to the study. This can be found on their website here.

Hi, friends! I'm so excited to have partnered with Hourglass Cosmetics to bring you this blog post featuring so many of their amazing products: the Veil Translucent Setting Powder, the Veil Powder Brush, Veil Mineral Primer, a Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick, and their Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush. I also got to treat myself to some extra essentials: I'm obsessing over their 1.5mm Mechanical Gel Eye Liner, this Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow, and the Ambient Lighting Edit palette.
I have actually used and loved Hourglass products for years now. Their commitment to quality is evident in every product I've ever tried of theirs! I love that they are cruelty-free and don't test any of their products on animals; that is something that's always really important to me when I'm shopping for skincare and cosmetics. I just have to take a minute to obsess over their products because they are life-changing. For real.
First of all, this amazing primer is the best start to a glowy complexion. You can instantly tell a difference in the texture of your skin when you apply it! Sooo smooth and silky. For the perfect follow-up, I love this foundation stick because you can build the coverage up to whatever level you want and then sheer it out with a blender. I also used it as a concealer for those problem spots; it's just a super versatile product!
I've used their Gel Eye Liner for years; the tip is so tiny and makes getting a precise wing a breeze. Like actually so easy…and we all know how tricky making that perfect wing can be (I like to smudge mine a little for a softer, more effortless feel)! For extra standout eyes there is nothing like some glitter eyeshadow to spice things up! I was surprised by how there way less fallout than other loose metallic shadows I've tried. It's a miracle eyeshadow, lol, I love it!!
Speaking of miracles, last but certainly not least is this incredible setting powder. You guys, this stuff is sooo good. I am all about dewy, glowing skin. Like literally obsessed about achieving a radiant glow so I tend to steer clear of products that give a matte look. This powder takes away excess shine but still leaves the skin with that much sought after youthful glow! It's the perfect finishing touch. I heard about it earlier this year and read so many reviews that made me curious to try it. I can say that it definitely lives up to the hype. We all know how frustrating it is to spend valuable time getting made up in the morning only for most of our work to melt off by the end of a long day. This amazing product takes care of that problem! I made sure to grab the Veil Powder Brush for a smooth, even application. Hourglass makes amaaazing brushes for every kind of makeup application.
Special thanks to Hourglass Cosmetics for partnering on this post.
I am passionate about bringing quality products to you and I highly recommend Hourglass's products.

Do you have any images for this title?
This film shows the demolition of the historic Star Theatre building (formerly Wallack's) at the corner of Broadway and 13th Street, New York. To secure this unique picture a Biograph camera was kept constantly at work by specially devised electric apparatus for weeks, during which time exposures were made every four minutes, 8 hours a day. Before the contractors began their work of tearing down and after the last vestige of the building had been removed, 15 seconds of exposure at normal speed were made. Thus in the finished positive one views at first the old Star Theatre standing as it had for years looking down with serenity upon the bustle of Broadway traffic. Then as if struck by a tornado of supernatural strength, the building begins to crumble. Chimneys totters, walls cave in, and whole stories vanish, until at last the site shows only a cellar excavation; and the Broadway cars with the sidewalk procession continue as if nothing unusual had happened.

Some Reflections on PDC 2008 - Must Watch Sessions (Day 1)
A few suggestions for sessions you might want to watch. By no means does this mean other sessions on Day 1 are not worth watching! These are just sessions I went to myself and found to be useful or heard good things about from others.
KYN01 Day One Keynote - Ray Ozzie, Amitabh Srivastava, Bob Muglia and David Thompson
- It's the keynote after all so you have to watch it. Lots of great information in there as well as the announcements about Windows Azure and the Azure Services Platform. It does get a little slow at times but worth watching for the crazy red shoes alone (and the UK Bluehoo demo).
PC47 Microsoft Expression Blend: Tips & Tricks
- I wanted to go to this session but both the main room and the overflow were full so I had to go and get a coffee instead. Any session that can draw people like this has to be worth watching. The F# session on the last day was a but like this.
- Lots of great information in here about ASP.NET 4.0 (see my blog post here for a summary) though it perhaps falls a little short of being a great session.
- Well, what can I say. Incredibly popular session and all I heard was great things about it. On my "must watch" list.
PC21 ASP.NET MVC: A New Framework for Building Web Applications
- I didn't stay for all of it because it was an introduction to MVC so I didn't expect to learn very much but I was enjoying it and it would be a great session to watch if you're new to ASP.NET MVC or haven't played with it much. If you have played with it a bit, maybe skip the early part - I'm sure there'll be some nuggets later on.
ES01 Developing and Deploying Your First Windows Azure Service
- Great session from Steve Marx. Serves as a great introduction to Windows Azure, the developer tools and storage options.

Pre-congress Seminar EuGMS Athens 2020
The first pre-congress meeting of the Athens 2020 EuGMS congress took place in Athens on Saturday the 10th of November 2018. Professor Stefania Maggi, immediate past president, and I, in addition to Professor Athanase Benetos, president elect, and Professor Anastassia Kossioni, member of the Academic Board, who are also members of the Hellenic Consortium for Geriatric Medicine, represented the EuGMS and took part in the program, with well-received presentations.
The meeting was perfectly prepared and organized in a nice venue of the Hellenic Pasteur Institute in the centre of the city, very close to the venue of the 2020 congress. The global impression has been very positive. The Dean of the Athens Medical School opened the meeting. There were around 130 participants with different backgrounds (i.e. general practitioners, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, public health specialists, nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists). The presentations were partly in Greek and partly in English. Moreover, the quality of the presentations was is general very good and the discussions were interactive and vivid. The participation and the quality of talks of young colleagues was remarkably high. It is obvious that there is a lot of expertise in Greece around the topic of this meeting (with focus on the impact of Mediterranean diets on health outcomes and on tailored physical activity).
The hospitality of the Hellenic Consortium for Geriatric medicine was outstanding.
On the agenda of the forthcoming pre-congress meetings is a closer involvement of the countries from the Balkan region.
The proceedings of the meeting and the related editorial (currently in preparation by G. Soulis) will be published in EGM.
Our thanks go to the colleagues from the Hellenic Consortium for Geriatric Medicine and to Evi Voudiklari for their warm hospitality and an impeccable organization of this successful meeting.

Many of my patients have found they have severe egg yolk and egg white sensitivities. While avoiding egg dishes like omelets, soufflés and deviled eggs is relatively easy, it is harder to eliminate foods like quick breads, noodles or many processed foods that are made with eggs.
Recent egg replacements have included prunes, bananas, applesauce and chia seeds. However, typical egg replacers do not provide any help when trying to make some recipes, especially meringues or mayonnaise.
Let me introduce a rather unknown egg replacing option: aquafaba. Derived from the Latin words for water and bean, aquafaba is made from the water that tofu, peas, lentils and especially chickpeas are soaked in. During the soaking process, starches and many vitamins and minerals are leached into the water. It is made of about ninety percent water and ten percent protein. Aquafaba can be used as a thickener, binder, emulsifier or foaming agent. Understand that chickpeas create the best aquafaba and if tofu or lentil "water" is used you may have different results.
Aquafaba is made the same as meringue. Once placed in a bowl, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to whip the "water" until stiff white peaks form. This could take between 1-2 minutes. The peaks of aquafaba are long-lived. The slight "beany" aroma that you may notice in the bowl will disappear when cooked.
A nutritional analysis showed that per one tablespoon there are about three calories.
Meringue and mayonnaise have been successfully made using aquafaba.
If you have sensitivities to egg yolk or egg whites, I encourage you to Google 'aquafaba recipes' for more options. Be courageous and try a few new recipes. Aquafaba is affordable and inexpensive.

DPR To Sanction Marketers Selling Kerosene Above ₦50
Speaking at the 2014 annual meeting between the DPR and the petroleum products' marketers in Lagos at the weekend, the Director of DPR, Mr. George Osahon has threatened to sanction marketers of petroleum products that sell Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) above the government's official price of N50 per litre.
Osahon, who said the meeting was a forum to discuss the past lapses in the downstream operations, further noted that it would also enlighten the stakeholders on the role of DPR as the regulator of the petroleum industry.
According to him, the forum was also organised to broaden the knowledge of the operators on other issues that were not clear to them.
He added that the meeting was not intended to capture the negative sides of the operators but adding that it was imperative to highlight the few operational lapses discovered by the regulatory agency.
Apart from selling kerosene above the N50 official pump price, Osahon said some filling stations had continued to tamper with their pump meters in order to cheat their unsuspecting customers, despite the constant warnings by the agency.
He described the sale of kerosene above N50 by marketers as another disturbing act and warned erring marketers to desist from this malpractice or face sanctions.
Osahon also charged the marketers not to compromise safety as the petroleum industry was a dynamic one that required high standards of safety.

Na Kaťuša multiple rocket launcher (Russian: Катю́ша; IPA: [kɐˈtʲuʂə] (About this sound listen)) is a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are inexpensive, easy to produce, and usable on any chassis. The Katyushas of World War II, the first self-propelled artillery mass-produced by the Soviet Union, were usually mounted on ordinary trucks. This mobility gave the Katyusha, and other self-propelled artillery, another advantage: being able to deliver a large blow all at once, and then move before being located and attacked with counter-battery fire. Katyusha weapons of World War II included the BM-13 launcher, light BM-8, and heavy BM-31. Today, the nickname is also applied to newer truck-mounted post-Soviet – in addition to non-Soviet – multiple rocket launchers, notably the common BM-21 Grad and its derivatives.

For most, recycling is the simple act of placing an item in a recycling bin. But an effective recycling model to — one that is economically and environmentally sustainable — is built upon a multi-dimensional process that must be viewed from all sides.
It's important to recycle the right things, such as cardboard, that offer the most opportunity for GHG emissions reduction.
Effective recycling starts with committed, well-informed communities that have the wherewithal to prioritize recycling right as part of daily life.
Recycled objects must be collected by service providers who depend on a profitable business model to support their operations today and invest in new technology solutions for tomorrow.
Recycling results in a supply of raw manufacturing materials that are sold into global commodity markets.
Sustainable markets are built on a healthy balance of supply and demand, which requires purchases from end users and markets.
Recycling comes full circle when finished goods made from recycled materials are purchased, setting the cycle in motion once again.
As North America's leading post-consumer recycler, Waste Management has been leading change in the ever-growing and dynamic recycling industry for more than three decades. During this period, we've also invested more than $1 billion in processing infrastructure alone, including almost $22 million in 2017, up more than $13 million year-over-year. This leadership resulted in 15.3 million tons of recycled goods in 2017, a 91.25 percent increase in recycling tons since 2007.
Our industry and the materials recycled have evolved significantly over the years — from small collection bins full of newspapers and glass bottles in the 1980s to today's large wheeled carts full of plastic water bottles and cardboard boxes used for home delivery of online orders. What amazing changes in just a few decades!
We were presented with a new set of challenges in 2017. In July, China notified the World Trade Organization of its intent to ban the import of 24 materials, including mixed waste paper and mixed plastics. While the news was met with skepticism at the time, China has indeed followed through with the ban, resulting in 13.2 million tons of material looking for alternative markets across the globe.
Then, in March 2018, the Chinese government implemented a 0.5 percent contamination limit, which has elevated quality expectations for all buyers across the globe. The new contamination limit also increased recycling processing costs in material recovery facilities (MRFs) as recyclers work to remove unacceptable items. With the Chinese government's subsequent announcement of a ban on all imports of recyclables by 2020, the global recycling community began to scramble to adjust to this new market reality.
Changing Market Dynamics
In an already dynamic recycling market, China's policy created perhaps the greatest change the recycling industry has experienced to date. The Chinese government's decision serves as a stark reminder of the global nature of our business. According to the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. International Trade Commission, China imported over 13.2 million tons of paper and approximately 776,000 tons of plastic from the U.S. in 2017. Prior to late 2017, a third of the world's recyclables had been imported by China, including more than 50 percent of the paper and plastics recycled across the globe.
China's policies have had a far-reaching effect, creating an excess global supply of recyclables. Costs are up for customers due to increased processing and sorting of materials required to meet China's new stringent quality requirements, while commodity values are down.
Developing Alternative Commodities Markets
With China taking bold steps to rebalance its economic needs with quality of life — clean air, water and a safe climate, the U.S. recycling industry has been forced to recalibrate its thinking and focus on what it can control. Developing diverse domestic and global end markets is the best way to ensure long-term successful, sustainable and economically viable recycling programs.
Beginning in 2013, with China's first import restrictions on plastics, Waste Management began to diversify our markets, sending more plastics to domestic markets and more paper to India, Mexico, South America and other countries. In the five years since, we have grown our markets and strengthened our international commodities team. With more than 50 contractors in four offices around the world, including Mexico City, Mexico, Shanghai, China, and Bhopal, India, we have been able to develop a robust international trade business.
Using Life Cycle Thinking to Prioritize Recycling Efforts
With constrained resources and weakened market demand, evaluating recycling through the lens of life cycle thinking helps our customers grapple with a changing commodities market for recycling, helping to prioritize their efforts. It's imperative that we remain focused on the materials that provide the most environmental benefit from recycling. As an example, the reduction in GHG emissions from recycling an aluminum can is exponentially more than recycling a glass bottle.
The Greater Environmental Impact
Waste Tons vs. GHG Emissions Reduction
Focusing only on commodity tonnage misses the bigger picture — how much emissions reduction benefit has been achieved regardless of the tons processed. For example, GHG emissions achieved by recycling Old Corrugated Cardboard is far greater than its weight would suggest. Our data makes it abundantly clear that we should be focusing our efforts on recycling cardboard and paper first, then, metal, PET and HDPE bottles to maximize the environmental benefits of the materials that we manage.
