Bodelwyddan Castle is a fifteenth century castle in Denbighshire,
Wales, originally built as manor house around 1460. The castle that
stands today was reconstructed between 1830 and 1852.
The castle is set in a large area of parkland, and formal gardens.
It is a partner of the National Portrait Gallery and possesses a
fine range of portraits. Both house and gardens are open to the
public. The castle offers tours and a range of educational services,
along with other facilities for children. Rooms are available for
private hire, and the castle is licenced for civil marriages. Bodelwyddan
also hosts a wide range of events, including paranormal investigations.
The castle grounds feature trenches built for troops to practice
in during the First World War. Bodelwyddan Castle is a Grade II*
Listed Building.
In the 1980s the castle was bought by Clwyd County Council with
the aim of developing it as a visitor attraction. Partnerships were
formed with prominent museums and art galleries, including the National
Portrait Gallery, so that the castle could be used to display objects
from these collections.
As a regional partner of the National Portrait Gallery, Bodelwyddan
Castle houses wonderful portraits from the 19th Century collections
of the London-based national museum. In addition, the Castle displays
collections of furniture from the Victoria & Albert Museum,
and sculpture from the Royal Academy of Arts. The Caste Trust also
administers a collection relating to the history of the house and
estate including photographs and effects from the days when the
Castle was the home of Lowther College.
The National Portrait Gallery Website contains a full description
of the Castle's display of portraits as well as other information
about the work of Bodelwyddan Castle Trust. You can see the portraits
at Bodelwyddan Castle online at the National Portrait Gallery website
A number of significant works from the National Portrait Gallery's
19th Century collections are exhibited at the Castle in the period
rooms. The Trust and the National Gallery work together to show
elements of the permanent collection as well as occasional temporary
Visitors to Bodelwyddan Castle can also use the National Portrait
Gallery's Portrait Explorer which is a means of accessing in digital
format many of the treasures held by the Gallery in London and at
their two other partner venues Beningbrough and Montacute.

The history of Bodelwyddan Castle and its estate extends back before
1460. The original castle was built by the Humphreys family of Anglesey
as a manor house.
Bodelwyddan Castle's most important association was with the Williams
family, which extended for around 200 years from 1690. The castle
was bought from the Humphreys by Sir William Williams, Speaker in
the House of Commons.
Architects Hansom and Welch were employed by Sir John Hay Williams,
2nd Baronet of Bodelwyddan, to refurbish and extend the house while
further works at this time also resulted in a magnificent estate
wall and formal garden. The Castle as seen today is largely the
creation of Sir John Hay Williams dating from between 1830 and 1852.
The loss of the main income source for the estate - lead mining
- in the 1850s resulted in the decline of the Williams family fortunes,
though further building refurbishment took place in the 1880s.
By the First World War, the estate had been reduced in size and
the house was used as a recuperation hospital. The grounds to the
east of the main house were used by nearby Kinmel Camp as an area
for trench warfare training. Traces of trenches can still be seen
in the grounds.
By 1920, the cost of maintaining the castle and estate had grown
too burdensome, and the Williams-Wynn family leased Bodelwyddan
to Lowther College, a girls' private school. The school initially
moved to Bodelwyddan as tenants of the Williams family, but Lowther
College purchased the property five years later, in 1925. The College
was based at the Castle until 1982 when it finally closed.
In the 1980s the Castle was purchased by the then Clwyd County
Council and developed as a museum, gallery and visitor attraction.
Partnerships were formed with the National Portrait Gallery, Victoria
& Albert Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts to enable the
display of many important national treasures at the Castle. To house
these collections, the interior was sympathetically restored to
its Victorian splendour by architect Roderick Gradidge, an expert
on Victorian architecture. .
In 1994, the County Council leased part of the site to the Rank
Organisation for its first Warner Holidays hotel. Meanwhile, the
magnificent Williams Hall with its national collections was placed
under the control of Bodelwyddan Castle Trust.
The National Portrait Gallery maintains the loan of nationally
important art collections at the Castle with day-to-day curatorial
care resting with the Trust.

The castle which stands today was remodelled in the Neo Gothic
style between 1830 and 1852 by Sir John Hay Williams, who employed
the architects Joseph Hansom (inventor of the Hansom cab) and Edward
Welch to refurbish and extend the house.
The castle has been described as one of Hansom's most ambitious
projects, "being wildly dramatic and owing nothing to its predecessors".
At the same time works were carried out to construct an estate wall
and formal gardens.
Further refurbishment work was carried out in the 1880s by William
Grenville Williams, 4th baronet, who inherited Bodelwyddan Castle
from his father, Sir Hugh Williams. Sir Hugh was brother to Sir
John Hay and together they worked on developing the property and
estate, although it appears that Sir John had the greatest ambitions
with regard to the architectural design of the house and gardens
while his brothers interest lay in the estate management.
Sir John Hay had two daughters and so the family estate passed to
his brother Hugh.
The castle structure seen today is mostly Victorian, but the core
of the building may date back to the 13th century.
Archaeologists have found Roman remains on the site, which might
relate to a settlement adjacent to the nearby Roman road.

The castle is set within a large area of parkland, and formal gardens.
The second baronet, Sir John Hay Williams (1794 - 1859) was a keen
horticulturist who brought many of the more exotic plants to the
gardens at Bodelwyddan. One of his more innovative ideas was to
build a 'centrally heated' garden wall - a high brick wall built
with fireplaces and flues to keep frost at bay. This wall can still
be seen around the garden. He also built a number of hot houses.
After the Williams family left the Castle in the 1890s a number
of tenants took residence and it was one of these, Mrs Aitken, who
commissioned the landscape architect T H Mawson to redesigned part
of the walled garden in 1910.
In the 1980s the gardens were restored by Clwyd County Council
and are now cared for by a growing team of enthusiastic volunteers.
Bodelwyddan Castle sits in 260 acres of historic parkland and woodland,
much of which is open to day visitors. The woodland to the south
of the formal garden is a haven for wildlife and is criss-crossed
by a number of paths ideal for a gentle stroll or study visit.
The woodland is managed by Bodelwyddan Castle Trust with the support
of the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers.
BTCV have spent significant amounts of time restoring and managing
many areas of the woods and also the former Williams family orchard.
A bird hide provided and maintained by BTCV is a popular feature
in the woods. From here you can observe the varied and often rare
bird life.
In another part of the woods, the area has been managed to provide
a glade for butterflies
Visit the Castle at different times of the year to see the woodland
and parkland in its varied colours. There is always something of
interest to see.
Within the grounds at Bodelwyddan are reminders of the Great War
years, very rare examples of practice trenches. Training was an
important activity during the First World War (1914-1918). It helped
to prepare newly recruited soldiers many of whom had never considered
the intricacies of trench warfare. The local training camp for the
area was Kinmel Park Camp.
Training trenches are located in the Bodelwyddan Castle Parkland.
A set of interpretive panels provide information on what it was
like to be a soldier living, fighting and dying in the trenches
and illustrations of how the trenches were constructed.

Bodelwyddan Castle is a perfect setting for your wedding. Several
rooms are available for civil ceremonies. Each has its own particular
character that will help to make your day such a memorable occasion.
The Sculpture Gallery, for example, houses some of the finest sculptures
produced by 19th Century neoclassical sculptor John Gibson as well
as portraits from the National Portrait Gallery Victorian collection.
A magnificent vaulted ceiling and finely decorated fireplace add
to the sumptuous decor that includes hand woven curtains in the
Victorian style. The room will seat 90-100 guests and includes a
beautiful Steinway Grand Piano that can be played before and after
the wedding ceremony.
The castle also offers the use of our historic parkland should
you wish to arrange a marquee or a fireworks display.
A complementary guided tour is available as part of your wedding

Many rooms at Bodelwyddan Castle are available for hire for meetings
and conferences and we can cater for smaller and larger groups.
The option of grounds hire and exclusive use of the house are also
available. We also offer the use of our orienteering course, the
woodland and parkland for team building exercises and can arrange
special workshops, tours and other special activities.
Bodelwyddan Castle plays host to a number of outdoor festivals
and events during the Spring and Summer.
These events are normally organised and managed by specialist event
organisers and include regular features such as the All Types VW
Show, BASC Country Fair and the North Wales Shire Horse Show.
Details of events are featured on the Bodelwyddan Castle website.

Bodelwyddan Castle offers a unique museum experience. The interior
of the former Williams family home was restored in the 1980s to
create a magnificent backdrop to the fine collection of 19th century
portraits on loan from the National Portrait Gallery.
The setting includes richly vibrant reproduction furnishings and
décor made according to original Victorian designs that are
complemented by statement pieces of furniture from the V&A,
and a collection of sculptures from the Royal Academy by one of
the greatest sculptors of the age, John Gibson.
This tour begins with the portraits of the first baronet of Bodelwyddan,
Sir John Williams, and his family, whose story is closely tied up
with the Castle until the early 20th century. Evidence of the changes
made by successive generations can be seen throughout the tour.
The nine historic rooms each represent a particular theme cleverly
reflected in the décor. Portraits of eminent Victorian women,
musicians and writers adorn the walls of the feminine Ladies
Drawing Room; 19th century sporting heroes and satirical cartoons
reflect masculine taste and humour in the Gentlemens Billiard
Room. All rooms are on open display, which means you can wander
among the exhibits and get up close to the artworks.
An Historic Garden Tour considers the unique relationship people
have with their gardens. It covers the Victorian interest in collecting
and growing exotic plants, the changes in early 20th Century taste
for garden design that complemented the architectural style of the
house and surrounding landscape (as exemplified by the Four Seasons
garden designed by Thomas Mawson (1861 1933) in 1910), to
the changes in how our gardens were used during wartime.
Schools are welcome to undertake self-directed visits and there
is a range of material available to enhance and support your experience.
Teachers with provisional or confirmed bookings are welcome to
make free pre-visits in order to become familiar with all that we
have to offer. You may like to make an appointment to meet one of
our friendly staff, who will show you around and discuss your requirements.
Or you may prefer to visit at your leisure at the weekend; simply
call beforehand to book your visit.

There have been many reports of ghost sightings at the castle,
including that of a soldier in one of the galleries.
Sir John Hay Williams wrote in 1829 that, during a period of refurbishment,
human bones were found near one of the chimneys. They were built
back into the wall, which means they remain there to this day.
The castle has also been the subject of two episodes of television's
Most Haunted and Sci Fi's Ghost Hunters International.
Ghostly happenings reported over the past few years include, a
mysterious lady in a flowing dress in the Sculpture Gallery, shadowy
figures drifting down corridors and through walls, unexplained voices,
sounds and lights.
The Castle has been visited twice by LivingTV's Most Haunted
and also by Ghost Hunters International as well as by
several groups of paranormal investigators.
Bodelwyddan Castle is the only property in North Wales to have
its own in-house paranormal investigation team.
The education team at Bodelwyddan Castle welcomes visits from schools,
colleges and other groups on any day of the week throughout the
year, by prior arrangement.
Bodelwyddan offers a range of talks, tours and workshops and can
help you plan a self-guided visit. The team encourages adult education
tutors, U3A, WEA and NADFAS organisers, overseas groups, university
and college lecturers and all other group organisers to use our
Drawing Room and Sculpture Gallery,
Bodelwyddan Castle has many volunteering opportunities throughout
the year. An attractive volunteering package offers a range of benefits
to help volunteers get the most from their experience.

This blog is my tool for working out the cobwebs after my mental break three and a half years ago. Many things happened to me leading up to my break and I want to keep a documentation of things that happened in an effort to remember and keep record of what I experienced. I write a lot about bipolar disorder and mental illness in general, but I am also treating this as my online journal. I have secret aspirations of being a professional writer, as I tend to work better alone, and I am hoping this platform gives me the confidence to go after my dream.
I try to be funny and lighthearted about topics, but sometimes things just aren't funny. After three plus years, I am able to joke about what happened to me and my diagnosis, but I still struggle at times with the day-to-day emotions. That is the general theme of this blog – MY human condition.
Not every story will knock it out of the park, but I hope my writing is entertaining and insightful. I want my journey to help someone who is struggling with a similar diagnosis to know that they are not alone – someone has been there before and can provide insight into what it means to lose your mind and fight to regain your sanity.
The fight has not been easy, but it has been educational. Whether you suffer, know someone who suffers, or are just curious about someone with a mental disorder, let this be your place to sit down, grab a cup of coffee and learn a little more about my experiences and take on life.
I am not a scientific journal. I do not have a PhD in psychology. But, I have an education and experiences under my belt to make this worth your while.
I am glad you are here!

smileage had a new single released yesterday,'ganbaranakutemo enende!!', and it's a cute song.
there is one thing i have ask though: what's up with the bowlegged dancing?
here is the dance routine for their new single below:
now i've seen it before in their last single's dance routine, but shrugged it off as a one-time thing.
their last single's dance routine below:
i may be blowing it out of proportion, but what about that particular move/pose/whatever-it-is, is so awesome that the dance choreographer uses it twice in a row? this isn't some standard arm swaying or bouncing on your heels; this is a very specific, deliberate dance move that had to have risen a few eyebrows. or did it? am i out of touch with what counts as cute around here? it's unique but i think it's bizarre, in the not-good kind of way.
i get it; the dance routine for 'enende' is because of the chaplin-inspired PV, and his trademark is his bowlegged posture and his cane. but why exactly is it chaplin-inspired? i bet you anything in the world that it's because the dance choreographer was just itching to insert more bowleggedness into their dance routine, that dastardly bastard.
stop these bowlegged shenanigans sirs, i implores you!

going to park for my 2nd ever jogging training with walking. gym is going to be skipped this weekend on purpose. i am taking a much needed rest - and choosing the park over the gym instead of jogging / walking and gym.
I need the rest....need to feel good after a very, very difficult week, again.
i went by a bank that was open to desposit a large refund check that couldn't be done digitally (had to be done in person at bank) and then i went to pay for a new gym in full that is close to home because i am no longer, stopping cold, going to any gyms by work because i want nothing bad associated with me - i used to park in work parking lot in evening, i was allowed, and went to gym near work but now i'm afraid to call any attention at all to myself. so, instead of having my 1 gym near work, i've chosen to go to only (1) gym and it to be close to myself. I also indulged in my choice of gym and chose the most expensive and closest one to where i live. I needed a break from the one that was 15-20 away (that one's price was around $380) and now go to one that is only 10min away with great parking options around.
I needed a break. I needed something new and fresh - and the was in a gym. I paid on a credit card, $575 and will have to pay it back. with no other money problems currently, it should be ok. Plus, i have access to 3 gyms (this new gym $575 has 3 locations), one being near where I might be working starting January (NYPD) which is the goal because after Jan I'm out of the running - application expires.
The gym by work was only going to be less than $200 per year, a Blink Fitness. but, like i said, i don't want to do anything (including going to a gym) near my work. I am simply looking to leave work ASAP every day. and not leave my car in the work parking lot after hours. nobody told me to stop, but i am on my own stopping with gyms by work. so, expensive gym here i come.Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
I'm reading "expensive" to mean "fancy" or "bells and whistles" which is really nice to have for yourself.
The expensive gym actually has NO amenities aside from a sauna! And it's small and I am not even going to use it - never did but maybe I'll start - prob not.
There are no gyms in my community so they charge high rates. No amenities but equipment is new and nice as they just renovated it last year. It is nice the gym is only 10 minutes away :-)
It's good for now - but no amenities and can u believe it's $600/year!?
I will read your fb comments. I've been feeling quite anxious regarding work lately. I am trying to relax and take a breather instead of opening my mouth. It will be a challenging week bc the person I am assigned to assist specifically told me he doesn't want to be in charge of any projects ! And he hasn't been directing which is why I opened my mouth Friday.
Me and him have a project due and our boss is on vacation this week in Turks &Caicos ! And the other boss is headed for vaca on Wednesday with our project due Friday. We will prob have to rush to finish it now by Wednesday but I do not think the person I assist is at all capable of steering this project correctly. I will only work under him anyways and not direct anyone else. But this week I still def headed for disaster.
I think my boss wants to fire the person I am to assist. I also think my boss didn't want me at my job this coming week for the specific reason that he wants a staff where the full staff is capable of finishing projects on their own - not people like me who can only assist and people like the guy I need to assist but he isn't capable of directing (he has some social issues / anxiety stuff). So bc out sept is rather small, smallest it's been in 7 years since I have been here, the boss wants only people he can give a project to and not expect them to ask him any questions. He doesn't want to administrate he wants us to get the work done and not need to deligate. I do understand and realize the dept is not where I want to be for the long run as the atmosphere has changed and the boss' desires are diff from the previous boss.. no longer does the current boss want helpers like me. He wants only seasoned pro's who can do the whole thing on their own. It makes sense with the climate of my office and industry and another reason for me to keep my personal focus on the jogging and you know what for January. My workplace is like a war zone each week.

1pm lunch: need this! 1/2 avocado 150, 2 pcs matzah crackers 200, soy chicken 300? and not really any extra veg - not in mood. bite of fried plantain also 50. 650-700.
1250 after healthy lunch :)
1400 before gym
1750...2000. very good.
Work bar was a very healthy natural bar. lazy to make breakfast. expensive like $5 bar!!! it's called Gary-Null CoCo Magic Bar. high fat, some protein, some carbs. takes away appetite really well, actually. change of pace and rewarded myself last friday when i picked these up...after a month and a half of work BS...i have been treating myself really well buying those bars and kombucha instead of ACV in seltzer drinks in AM. :-)
20 min stroll after parking at work - got my cardio in before work - nice...needed to stretch legs!
Work has been good all week so far. I don't expect it to go downhill this week, at all.
I did speak to my boss, the nice one,about OT and how if I do work it, I need to have it pre-approved (and i don't plan to work it unless it's an emergency). hardly anyone, on their own free will, will give extra work with no extra pay. that's stupid. NOBODY in their right mind is going to waste extra time at work for NO PAY. so if they want me working late, i'll ask if i will be paid for it when they ask me to stay late.
after 1.5mo of b-****, work has settled down for me in terms of the b-**** thank gosh! i'm a happy lady.Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
2230 3-day average.

2100. decent.
Happy May 1 :-)
I will ALWAYS SHOW UP ON TIME TO WORK....YES! I was on time today, 8am (actually more like 7:45am i pulled into the work parking lot bc i focused on my driving LOL...and did excellent despite some traffic!)...nobody else was on time :-D
I am starting this week fresh. I looked up in my union agreement manual - says no matter what if you make over 45k, you should be compensated for your hours. So, even if salay worker as I was told i am starting this past Friday, any overtime should be compensated for, according to the handbook. EXCELLENT. I will use this document to my benefit as soon as someone (like my bosses) feel the need to bring up the topic, again.
We are now really in Spring, in my opinion :-)
Need to pick up extra veg on way home...maybe also turkey meat. not enough food as my ground turkey spoiled and had to throw out last night.Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
It's good that you are a union member. I certainly hope you're compensated for ALL the hours you work!
Happy Monday! :)

total today: 2400.
2day 2300, good.
today i did some nice walking, so good, in city and enjoyed a really funny "Drag Brunch" show. i think it was extra funny bc we had drinks...but it was still a nice time out in city and also nice time out at the High Line which is a city park built over an old railroad overhead line. really a wonderful day with a nice guy. i just wish he were closer to my age. there's no way i can date him. i would if he was 22 years older. it's just too much for me. plus he smokes and drinks quite a bit...but otherwise he's quite healthy. he's a weird mix, sorta like myself. that's why i like the dude. but no dating, i'm not interested in that kinda element, sadly. because if i were to pick someone, they'd be similiar to him...life is funny sometimes. hopefully things will work out one day for me, with someone.
full day in city, bit tired now, reason why i may not comment more on people's entries until tomorrow or so.
back to work tomorrow, glad i have no plans except for work and then home. i may cook up some turkey burgers tomorrow night. we'll see.
Reading this wonderful book on habits ...later a really cool brunch in the city!Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
Happy Weekend. Upon waking, i did start thinking about my boss and work since so much has been going on. but i'm relaxing - just like i did after work yesterday. I'm now slowly getting into jogging. I am def a beginner and cannot do much right now. I've settled on just doing 1.5 miles of jog / walk 1x per week or so for now, for THIS month. I may add another day here or there, but i don't think so. Yes, just 1x per week and the rest of the time will be spent walking when i can. Life is VERY busy & it's simply hard to fit things in - especially when my boss doesn't know my own hours and now wants to make me work late (not happening, i am sorry, i'm not going to all of a sudden work longer).
I jogged yesterday so i don't want to do it today...seems i have little plans for today - just gym in the evening. i don't want to walk more, as my legs need rest because tomorrow will involve some walking...i will do the laundry that i planned to do tomorrow today instead.gonna relax and read now.
tomorrow will be a fun day in NYC at a comedy "Drag Brunch." My dad was pissed i'm going because he thought all the audience would be drag - oh no!!! it's an entertainment thing, i bought it on Groupon!
Breakfast: banana and honey 150, oatmeal 150, protein powder 100, almond milk 30, peanut butter 200: 600 approx.
snack bar 230
lunch: fried wheat gluten 450?, rice 100, chips 150 700. (not in a veggie mood. fine to splurge sometimes on somthing different - it was all food i picked up last night so that i would have food specifically at home today!)
snack: strawberries 100
dinner :protein cookie but my leg is throbbing from needing potassium so then a banana in a pumpernickel wrap. 550.
gym tonight.
total cal is pretty good for a whole day at home and just the gym in the eve: 2200. GOOD.
______________________________________________Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
I have been reading your comments about work. I was going to caution you to be careful, but after reading what your dad told you, and considering you are union, then you will probably be OK. Can't help though feeling like you have a target on your back for your boss. WTH???
You know, some people just need a scapegoat in their lives to make themselves happy. I work with someone like that. Must be very careful around them...
Weekly Average: 2015 per day = VERY GOOD.
ACV drink in AM no cal...
Low Protein breakfast as lately i do not want cream cheese and salami on wraps, i just can't take it - honey 50 and pb 200 on a wrap 100. 350. coffee. 50.
Snack: cookie 120
Lunch: healthy: other nicer boss ordered lunch for all. shrimp and veg 200? sauce 150? tons of brown rice maybe double serving 400? 750. was worth it.
Snack: 100, 120
Dinner: 800 tops.
2350 (didn't calculate calories well enough and things got screwed up.) still a decent average.
I made it to the park and i walked / JOGGED 1.5 miles. On purpose, as i get into jogging, less will be more: meaning, to stay away from injury and everything, even 1.5mi walk / jog is better than doing 2 miles. I don't need to do a lot, just more than i used to. That's it. I will not force any injury upon myself like i did last time. This is my chance to give myself a chance to jog...slowly.
This week still involved getting back to an even keel with my administration. It's been a long 1.5 months for me. I'm glad it's the end of another slightly rocky week. Good thing is I got 1.5hrs OT for last night. Bad thing is I learned TODAY that i'm SALARY and not HOURLY. first time knowing this in 6.5 years here...stupid administration. I used to make mad OT $.
When i got a raise, i had no clue it was for SALARY a month ago. Don't you think boss should have told me / reminded me that the raise was for SALARY and not HOURLY? unreal. I swear i couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.I swear, i always thought i was HOURLY. AND USED TO BE.
And this week i did quite a bit of OT - who would have guessed that I cannot even earn compensation on all of it? (i was compensated for my extra 1.5hrs last night - that i stayed because the pregnant lady initially doing the work couldn't stay. and i'm QUITE POSITIVE this will be the case going forward that i will stay to do HER WORK. and because she's pregnant (like men think we should be in our lives), she'll be treated NICER and i will get the brunt. I am learning so much now, so much!). It's crazy sometimes.
I can hear my boss now whispering with his secretary, the pregnant one, she's saying bad things about another one of my coworkers. the environment here is absolutely of hate. I hate my boss and he's a piece of work...**** really.Progress as of today: 2 lbs lost so far, only 3 lbs to go!
I am glad i am not "white trash" (sorry if what i write sounds rude)...but i value my upbringing from my parents when i was a child and i'm so very glad that i have this current opportunity to change my life to how I want it.
I have learned so much, at 34 now, I have a lot to bring with me to the academy. A ton of great skills.

Cuomo to Sue a Health Insurer; Industry Shares Fall (Update2)
By Karen Freifeld
Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said he plans to sue one of the largest U.S. health insurers and to probe the health-care industry.
Cuomo will release details of the lawsuit and the investigation at a press conference at noon New York time, his office said in a statement today. UnitedHealth Group Inc., WellPoint Inc., Aetna Inc. and other health insurers fell in New York trading in anticipation of Cuomo's announcement.
The New York Attorney General's office has been investigating whether insurers use ratings to send patients to cheaper physicians instead of better ones. Cuomo, 50, has said financial motives create a conflict of interest that may harm patients.

33 Polyhymnia
Terpsichore is one of the nine muses of Greek myth, which include Terpsichore, Erato, Clio, Thalia, Polyhymnia, Calliope, Euterpe, Urania, and Melpomene. She is the muse of hymn, but also dabbled in the musery of other kinds of sacred artfulness, ranging from ritual dance to meditation.
The symbol is a veil, as she is depicted as cloaked in veiled in a show of solemnity, with a star on it.

My Question or Issue
I have been using Spotify for about 2 weeks now and I noticed I never get any push notification on my phone. I am following artists and when they release music I don't get a notification. All notifications are turned on, even email notifications, but I get 0!
Hey @Doruwastaken, Welcome to our Community.
You came to the right place!
Unfortunately Spotify has discontinued Push Notifications for Mobile apps. However, you can still get notifications by email. If you wish this feature to work again please suggest a new idea in Idea Submissions board or support this kind of idea if it has already been suggested
If you have any other questions, give me a shout 😉
Have a nice day 🙂
Then why can I turn off and on notifications settings into the mobile app and regardless of what I choose I still dont get anything
Good question!
I guess it might come back again, besides you have the option for notifications to go straight to your inbox there too, that's why you see those options.
But I dont get any emails aswell ...
You don't get them too often.
Please go to this page to check them better and tinker with those settigs 😉
If you need anythig, just give me a shout 🙂

After the new year – after that third piece of pie, all of that champagne, and the last-call gluttony that is New Year's Day brunch, it comes time to reel it in. And it's widely understood that January is all about pushing the refresh button and starting over. Fortunately Battery Park offers plenty of feel-good, look-great locations that are pumping out the mission of health and wellness, from working out to eating well So walk out of Wagner Battery Park and into the new you, courtesy of these local spots.
Juice Press: You'll find throngs of Battery Park locals lined up out outside this juice chain post-workout, where they're chugging veggie drinks like the Mother Earth or the Green Day. Juice Press is one of the premiere organic "grab and go" health food providers in the city, serving up organic, plant-based products and yummy snacks like soups, salads and acas bowls. It offers an expansive USDA organic product line, as well as special tonics and cleanses to get you back on the right path.
Victoria Albina Functional Medicine: If you're looking to make a real lifestyle change, this licensed and nationally board certified Family Nurse Practitioner is trained in Integrative or Holistic Medicine as well as Western Medicine. She prescribes lifestyle changes, nutrition supplements and herbs. She's also a Life Coach to help you make changes, whether it's carefully crafted nutrition or supplement plan or a path to lowering stress levels. New year, new you!
Spring Thyme Wellness Spa: This very unfussy Chinese spa has been relieving the necks of Wall Street brokers with acupuncture and massage since 1997. It's something of a hidden insider spot offering over 500 Chinese herbs and an alternative-medicine boutique treating for ailments ranging from chronic pain or anxiety. Past the shop lies a eucalyptus-scented salon where men and women sip tea and wait for East-meets-West treatments like acupuncture-assisted non-surgical facial lifts and Swedish-Shiatsu massages. Start off your new year feeling great and work out those holiday kinks.
Barry's Bootcamp: Sometimes the only way to a total detox is through a good old fashioned sweat. Barry's Bootcamp is one of the most popular fitness classes in New York, where one class can burn up 1,000 calories or more. It tones muscle, and boosts the resting metabolism, so you continue burning calories after the class is over. It's weight training plus cardio plus alternate bursts of intense anaerobic exercise is no joke. Even the recovery periods feel hard. So lace up, get your heart-rate going and start your new year off right.

I was excited and motivated about this raw food thing for the first month. Lots of new recipes to try, feeling more energy, having less insulin, and let's be honest, feeling rather virtuous for eating so healthily.
But we've been mostly raw for over a month now, and the novelty is wearing off. The more lenient I become with the amount of cooked food I allow myself, the more difficult it seems to stay raw.
Last night we had friends over for dinner; pictures of their gourmet 'raw vegan Christmas feast' helped inspire me to try raw food, as I saw that it didn't need to be just salads and green smoothies. So it was nice to be in company of people who 'get it'.
But it's still feeling like a lot of effort now. The gourmet raw meals that were exciting me to start with are now paling in comparison to the cooked versions. I keep telling myself that it is good for me, but the little person on the other shoulder says 'as long as you have a high amount of raw, the odd bit of cooked food is OK'. But the more I think like that, the more cooked food I eat.
I've made some nice meals, but with the exception of one nice batch, all the raw crackers and flat breads I've tried to make have been failures. I'm weary of snacking on fruit and nuts and carrot sticks.
I guess there's a point with every new thing where the novelty wears off and you are stuck with the fact that this is reality. I do believe in raw food now, so I'm going to stick with it. But I'm cutting myself some slack; just because I eat some cooked food one day doesn't mean I have to pack the whole thing in. I just start again the next day.

Commercial Break: Those Intrusive V-Cast Ads
Posted by Andrew Unterberger on March 18, 2007
There are two types of TV ads currenlty pissing me off more than any other–the kind of irritation that must be expressed whenever I encounter them, regardless of how uninteresting my complaining is to whoever I'm watching with. One are those ads where people reprimand an unseen receiver for being lazy and ineffectual and it turns out to be a broom or a vacuum or something (I know I'm not alone in this one, but how anyone deemed this concept tv-ready is profoundly disturbing). The other are those ridiculous fucking V-Cast commercials.
You know the ones–some random stranger approaches the camera, claiming (or at least purporting) to be friends with whoever the camera's perspective is supposed to be represent, and gives the camera headphones so it can listen to the song currently blowing their mind on their V-Cast phone. After a few seconds of rocking out, so the camera sees how into the music they are, they get interrupted and are forced to take back their headphones and leave, merely tantalizing the camera with a taste of the greater pleasures that lie ahead with ownership of the mp3-playing phone.
Several things about these commercials upset me. The first is that I don't believe for a second that the person behind the camera has a clue who this random person is that's giving them his headphones for some reason, and since when is it acceptable to assault strangers with your mediocre taste in pop music? Speaking of which, why are these people so excited about the possibility of being able to spread the word of these pop songs they are evidently enamored with–have they not heard of commercial radio? Besides, raido fan or no, who the hell gets so excited at the prospect of sharing Fergie and Justin Timberlake songs with others?
But the worst thing about these commercials are the few seconds in between the forcing of the headphones and the inevitable awkward interruption, where the person demonstrates their love for these songs by rocking out on their own while the camera listens. These people clearly have no idea how to physically respond to music, so you get some chick swaying awkwardly to (Keith Urban, was it? Some country singer) in a coffee shop and some extremely tense-looking guy stiflfy twitching to Fall Out Boy iin a gym–if these people are really trying to convince you of the awesomeness of the songs on their V-Cast, I'm cetainly not convinced. And I doubt camera guy is either.
We don't need this. We're going to hear these songs quite enough already without random dudes forcing us to listen to seven-second snippets of them on their headphones.

That guy in the gym was such a douche. Is he supposed to be a personal trainer? He was spotting that guy on the weightbench and then just left him there to go talk to the camera. I was expecting that to develop into some kind of cruel sight gag at the expense of the guy trying to benchpress something far beyond his capabilities, but then there was no payoff. Which would have been cynically predictable anyway, I guess.

Long gone are the days of Sears Air-conditioning ads. Unless those still come back during the summer occasionally?
One good place to look for funny commercials is public access. Barry Feinstein, attorney at law. I didn't know people could make commercials like that unironically. It was like a for-real version of the open credits to the Colbert Report.
March 20, 2007 at 2:54 pm
I'm both impressed and disappointed that the Welches commercials didn't make this.

For the many people that suffer from acne there seems to be no end to the various treatments that can help them. However, for many people who have tried the antibiotics, creams, hormonal treatments, and even phototherapy, they often find that nothing seems to clear up the acne that they have or the scars that are left behind. The one thing that is wonderful about this industry is that researchers are constantly trying to find a new way to treat acne. There are even alternative natural methods such as diets that avoid dairy, chromium and zinc supplements, and homemade cures that contain spices. Although they are all very interesting and offer a lot of different methods, not a lot of these treatments have ever been scientifically proven to work.
However, there is one acne treatment that has shown great success over the past few years. Laser surgery is fairly new, and does more than just help the acne that you currently have. In fact, many people are choosing laser surgery because it is a great way to remove the acne scars that have been on your face, even if they have been there for years. Through a simple process, doctors use the laser beams to burn out the scar tissue on your face, which allows the skin to generate new and healthy tissue.
They are even looking for new ways that laser surgery can be used in the future to stop acne from forming on skin that is prone to acne by burning away the follide sac where the hair grows, or burning the sebaceous glands that are prone to acne breakouts. Although this hasn't happened yet, the research is promising. Another acne treatment that may be in our future is the use of the laser to induce the formation of oxygen in the bacteria that causes acne. It is supposed to kill these bacteria with the extreme heat. Although it hasn't happened yet, the future does look promising not only for acne treatment but acne prevention as well.
If you have acne and find yourself unable to clear it up with traditional acne treatments, you should talk to your dermatologist about laser surgery to see what it can do for your acne.

Several Premier League clubs have sent scouts to watch Atletico Mineiro's 18-year-old sensation Bruno Roberto, who has recently broken into the first team at the club.
The attacking midfielder made his debut for Atletico Mineiro in June and has since made a further five appearances for the club. He has regularly been amongst the substitutes for the first team, with Atletico Mineiro holding high expectations for the youngster.
Parabéns ao meio-campista Bruno Roberto pelo seu aniversário! 👏🏾 Muita saúde e paz! Saudações Alvinegras! Aqui é #Galo! 👊🏾 pic.twitter.com/LMKTNFkbKc— Atlético (@atletico) April 27, 2018
According to The Daily Mail, scouts from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been monitoring Bruno, but it is Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur who are said to be leading the race for the 18-year-old.
The report states that many in Brazil believe that Bruno will follow the example of Gabriel Jesus, who joined City for around £25m from Palmeiras in 2017. Since moving to the club, Jesus has racked up 29 goals and ten assists for City, and it is hoped that Bruno would have a similar impact in England.
However, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is also said to be using his South American connections to scout Bruno, and is hoping that he will be able to gain an advantage in the race for Bruno's signature.
Fans of Atletico have been keen for Bruno to be given more chances in the first team, who are currently lacking in attacking options. Bruno is yet to start a match for the senior team, with his longest outing lasting around 68 minutes, but he has impressed with his creativity and energy, leading many fans to demand that he replaces current starter Juan Cazares in the lineup.
Many European clubs are regularly scouting Brazilian sides, with several youngsters recently making astronomical moves to the continent. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo both agreed deals with Real Madrid for upwards of £40m, whilst the likes of Kenedy and Richarlison also left Brazil in favour of the Premier League.

Emerald Green is the trendy hue of the year. You will see this color everywhere from fashion, home decor, cosmetics, and accessories. This bold color suggests gems, money, success, growth, and The Emerald City in "The Wizard of Oz". How will you integrate this lush and vibrant color into your beauty routine? Here's how to create ZuZu Luxe's emerald eyes pictured above, from talented makeup artist Karim Orange:
Iguana eyeliner was used all over the eyelid. Also Casino eye shadow was used very lightly where the green stops but not extended to brow area. Lastly Leaf eyeliner along the water line. The rest of the palette was created using L-21 Oil-Free Liquid Foundation, Sunset Blush, Cappuccino Lipliner, and Mischief Lip Gloss in the center of lips.
We would love to see your Emerald makeup creations using our products on any of our social media sites. Post yours today:

Do you ever recommend using a primer before applying mascara? Why didn't you include one in your cosmetic lines?
Most have synthetic fibers that may be harmful to the delicate eye; however I would recommend our Clear Mascara, which coats the lashes and makes them appear fuller.
What are the major benefits with going with an all-natural mascara?
You are avoiding harsh chemicals found in mass-market mascaras. Ours helps promote healthy lash growth from vitamins and herbal extracts instead of mascara with synthetic fibers that just mimic.

WahlweXel - But Really Now!
18:30 to 03:00
WUK – Werkstätten und Kulturhaus,
WUK Foyer, Waehringer Str 59, A-1090 Vienna
On September 25th 2013, four days ahead of the parliamentary elections, we are organising what is long overdue: an occasion on which all those present can vote. Countless people who are excluded from the vote will be able to claim their participation here: an act of democratisation as well as a collective act of protest against the fact that almost one million Austrian inhabitants are excluded from the elections. Following this, there will be a public party of StimmweXel (voice swapping) featuring Karaoke for all, where everybody can dance, sing and celebrate.
People eligible to vote will only be allowed into the event if they bring their poll card! Order your poll card now!
18-19:00: Doors open

Discussion event
The System of your Dreams. Democracy, Every Vote Counts?
18:30 to 20:30
KunstSozialRaum Brunnenpassage,
Yppenplatz, 1160 Vienna
Starting with the question about the relation between the anti-racist practice of 'WahlweXeln' [vote 'swapping'] and the basic tenets of parliamentary democracy, we want to analyse the blind spots of really existing democracy, and discuss proposals about a radical democratisation of all social spheres.
Who or what can we actually choose? What is the relation between democracy and work? Does democracy consist solely of voting? What else does the right to democratic participation encompass?
Di. 20. AugustPress Conference
WahlweXel Now! Every Vote Counts?
Café Landtmann
Universitätsring 4, 1010 Wien
On September 29th, all of Austria will vote for a new national assembly - all of Austria? Not really, since there's almost a million people in this country that are not allowed to vote. WahlweXel jetzt! doesn't expect politicians and the state to positively intervene in this problematic situation in years to come. 'We're of the opinion that every person counts. The passive and active right to vote should be no privilege, it's really a minimum requirement for democracy.' WahlweXel jetzt! makes it real, helping residents who don't have the right to vote in Austria co-decide and participate in the 2013 parliamentary elections.

Murder on the Orient Express is a detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 1 January 1934. In the United States, it was published on 28 February 1934, under the title of Murder in the Calais Coach, by Dodd, Mead and Company. The U.K. edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence and the U.S. edition at $2.00.
The U.S. title of Murder in the Calais Coach was used to avoid confusion with the 1932 Graham Greene novel Stamboul Train which had been published in the United States as Orient Express
Upon arriving at the Tokatlian Hotel in Istanbul, private detective Hercule Poirot receives a telegram prompting him to cancel his arrangements and return to London. He instructs the concierge to book a first-class compartment on the Orient Express leaving that night. However this becomes impossible when it is revealed that in an unusual occurrence for the time of year (December), the train is fully booked and Poirot only gets a second-class berth after the intervention of his friend M. Bouc who is a director of the train line Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits and is also boarding the train. After boarding, Poirot is approached by Mr Samuel Ratchett, a malevolent, elderly American he initially saw at the Tokatlian. Ratchett believes his life is being threatened and attempts to hire Poirot but, due to his distaste, Poirot refuses. "I do not like your face, Mr. Ratchett," he says.
On the second night of the journey, as he is only travelling to Italy M. Bouc gives up his first class-compartment to Poirot who is going to Calais and on to London (Bouc sleeps in the Pullman Coach which has only one other occupant, a Greek doctor named Constantine). This gives Poirot the compartment next to Mr. Ratchett. The train is stopped by a snowdrift near Vinkovci. Several events disturb Poirot's sleep, including a cry emanating from Ratchett's compartment. The next morning, M. Bouc informs him that Ratchett has been murdered and asks Poirot to investigate, in order to avoid complications and bureaucracy when the Yugoslav police arrive. Poirot accepts.
After Poirot and Dr. Constantine examine the body and Ratchett's compartment, Poirot ascertains Ratchett's real identity, and possible motives for his murder. A few years before, in the United States, three-year-old heiress Daisy Armstrong was kidnapped by a man named Cassetti. Cassetti eventually killed the child, despite collecting the ransom from the wealthy Armstrong family. The shock devastated the family, leading to a number of deaths and suicides. Cassetti was caught, but fled the country after he was acquitted. It's suspected that Cassetti used his considerable resources to rig the trial. Poirot concludes that Ratchett was, in fact, Cassetti.

AKRON, Ohio -- Carlos Carrasco shook off some nerves and returned to the mound.
Two months after he was diagnosed with leukemia, everything felt mostly normal for the Cleveland Indians right-hander.
"It was really special today," Carrasco said. "Just coming back today out of the bullpen, it feels great."
Carrasco, who still hopes to pitch for Cleveland again this season, threw one inning of relief on Monday for Double-A Akron against Harrisburg. It was his first outing since he was diagnosed in June with chronic myeloid leukemia, a treatable form of cancer.
When he jogged in from the bullpen, Carrasco received a standing ovation from fans at Canal Park. He got another one after striking out his final batter to end the inning.
Carlos Carrasco is making his first rehab start since being diagnosed with leukemia.— Cleveland Indians (@Indians) August 20, 2019
(via @MandyBell02)#CookieStrongpic.twitter.com/xJTlMyBBKv
Carrasco admitted to having some jitters beforehand. But once he threw his first pitch, he said, the butterflies were gone.
"Right away, I looked back to the scoreboard because I just wanted to find out what was that pitch, and it was 97 [mph]," Carrasco said. "It feels great."
The 32-year-old is scheduled to pitch again for Akron on Thursday, and he and the Indians will then decide his next step.
His teammates -- and Cleveland fans -- have rallied around Carrasco. During the All-Star Game in July, he appeared on the field during Major League Baseball's "Stand Up To Cancer" tribute, and "I Stand With Cookie" T-shirts have become popular around town.
Carrasco said he was touched by the support he received from Akron's fans.
"Those people were the ones behind me the whole way, from day one to now," he said.

In only a week the ice covering Lake Balkhash, in eastern Kazakhstan, melted over almost all of the lake's 18,000 square kilometer surface area. On April 11 large cracks were visible in the ice on the western half of the lake, and the water near river deltas was ice-free. By the 18th, most of the ice was gone, with remnants primarily in the western half. Sediment, carried by spring runoff, causes the turbulent appearance and tan color of the ice-free lake. These images were acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. By mid-April 2000, the lake was completely ice free, as shown by an image from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS).
