Why see Dr Nijjer?
Dr Nijjer is a Consultant Cardiologist at both the Hammersmith Hospital and Chelsea & Westminster Foundation NHS Trust. He undertakes coronary intervention at both Hospital sites as well as taking on-call on the busy Primary Angioplasty Oncall. He is also a Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London. His clinical duties cover all aspects of Cardiology in his clinics at Imperial NHS Trust Cardiology Service for Ealing. He is regularly invited as a speaker National and International conferences including the American College of Cardiology.
Dr. Nijjer runs his private practice at 66 Harley Street, The Cromwell Hospital, The Wellington Hospital and BMI Syon Clinic.
Clinical Skills
Dr. Nijjer possesses clinical expertise in all aspects of general and interventional cardiology. He specialises in the investigation and management of coronary artery disease, including acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and in the treatment of patients who have had prior heart attacks. He is widely regarded as an international expert in the use of coronary physiology to help guide stent placement and his research has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
He is highly knowledgeable in anti-platelet and anticoagulant medications and has published widely in this domain. He is an advocate for non-invasive assessment of coronary arteries using CT coronary angiography and he trained at Guys' Hospital to learn the latest techniques that can efficiently diagnose patients.
Dr. Nijjer is also skilled in helping patients with breathlessness and those experiencing palpitations. Not only this, but he has expertise in the use and interpretation of electrocardiography, echocardiography and stress testing. If the need arises, he is an expert in performing coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty and pacemaker implantation with the use of the latest technology and techniques to ensure that his treatments are guided and optimised appropriately.
His research has placed him at the forefront in the use of coronary physiology and intravascular imaging. This means that when stenting is required, he strives to make sure every angioplasty case meets international gold standards. This will help maintain long-term results and give the best results for his patients.
A Holistic Approach for You and Your Heart
Dr. Nijjer's holistic approach to treatment is one of understanding as he recognises and responds to the fact that an individual's medical issues exist alongside other aspects of their lives, treating any medical conditions in a way that fits the lifestyle of his patients. He utilises the latest guideline-supported cardiac test to ensure his patients are fully investigated in addition to his thorough clinical assessment.
In depth expertise for your Heart
Dr Nijjer has expertise in the investigation and management of heart problems, from those involving arrhythmias, coronary artery blockages and even heart failure. Getting an expert opinion is a key step on your road to getting better.
Detailed explanations, that you understand
Your health is important and understanding what is wrong, and how it can be helped is important to you. Dr Nijjer will use language you can understand, with props and digital information to make your journey to getting better easier
A full examination & thorough assessment
A full cardiac examination, an electrocardiograph and echocardiography are usually required to assess your heart health. Depending on your medical history, further investigations may be required and for some patients, invasive procedures may be needed to offer a full diagnosis and treatment.
Should I see a cardiologist?
Dr Nijjer can help you if you suffer with palpitations, breathlessness or ankle swelling. If you have a sensation of chest tightness or pressure on exertion, dizziness or fainting on exercise, then you should be assessed promptly. Dr Nijjer can undertake a thorough assessment and work out the best way forward for you.
"I was having palpitations on a daily basis. It was really affecting my confidence at work and it really worried me. Dr Nijjer found out the cause and started a treatment that worked best for me."
"My father and brother both had heart attacks at an early age. When I checked my cholesterol it was raised and I didn't know what to do. Dr Nijjer did a very thorough assessment and together we are working on controlling my cholesterol, improving my cardiovascular fitness. Prevention is better than treatment!"
"I've always been very fit, but I had started getting dizzy spells after running during football. Dr Nijjer arranged some scans for me and although I was nervous, he talked me through what it involved. I have an inherited problem which we are now monitoring."

When dealing with delicate fabrics, you often think that dry-cleaning is the only option. But many clothes are hand-washable. To protect delicate fabrics when you hand-wash, be sure to use Downy Fabric Conditioner.
First, read the care label for any specific hand-washing details.
Fill a tub or sink with water (recommended temperature on label) and add 1 teaspoon of detergent (use more if washing multiple items).
Submerge fabrics in soapy water. Gently stir until fabrics are clean.
Empty tub or sink and refill it with cool rinsing water. Add clean fabrics to water.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of Downy Fabric Conditioner (or enough to cover the bottom of the cap) in 1 cup of water.
Move fabrics to the side of the tub and pour the fabric conditioner solution directly into the rinse water.
Stir the fabrics in the rinse water several times, then soak for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the fabrics several more times.
Gently wring, and dry as desired.

My StoryPosted on February 23rd, 2014 No comments
Yeah, it will be 5 years soon from the day I launched my homepage while I was living with my lovely wife & daughter Charlotte in the UK. It all happened in a rocky seaside town called Torquay which is the heart of the English Riviera , well known by its history and nightlife. Honestly this place is full of legends from the past like Charles Darwin, Agatha Christie, Isaac Singer, I.K. Brunel, Thomas Newcomen and many others. I must admit it is the most inspirational place on the planet Earth I ever lived in my entire life.
As many of yours, so did my parents divorce which I found hard to overcome. But life went on & so did I. After passing Oisu Primary School with flying colours I graduated Kuusalu High School in 1992 and then Tallinn Medical College in 1996 as Military Assistant Doctor. I practised in various hospitals & military field for few years before I left for the UK where I lived 12 wonderful years in total. Now, England really got me as I experienced & learned a lot in those years. I learned how to play tennis & golf, I studied sports medicine, I worked, I got married & we made a business. Also I was a keen member of local poetry club & writers club at St.Marychurch Torquay. After graduating as a Sports-Massage Therapist at South Devon College in 2001, I had a luck to work with some of the finest sportsman in the World. My massage clients included 4 World champions & 2 Olympic gold medalists. But that wasn't my final call as yet as you might of thought …

A United Airlines jet narrowly missed a drone just before landing at Newark Liberty International Airport (UAL)
On Sunday, a drone got dangerously close to a United Airlines jet that was attempting to land at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Flight 135, a Boeing 767-400, was notified of a drone in its vicinity by air traffic control.
Fortunately, the United pilots were able to monitor the drone's position and aircraft landed without incident.
"Upon descent into Newark, air traffic control alerted the flight deck aboard United flight 135 of a drone in the vicinity of the runway," United said in a statement to Business Insider. "Our crew monitored the drone and landed the aircraft safely."
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the flight crew report seeing the drone two miles southwest of the airport around 11:55 am on Sunday.
"Preliminary information shows that United Flight 135, a Boeing 767, reported a near mid-air collision with a white unmanned aircraft approximately two miles southwest of Newark," a FAA spokesman told Business Insider in an email. "The FAA notified the New Jersey State Police."
According to the same spokesman, the FAA has launched an investigation into the incident.

Again the world's only sailing cargo vessel Tres Hombres is visiting the port of Brixham on it's sixth trans-Atlantic journey. The flagship of the Fairtransport B.V. Shipping and Trading company sails cargo without the use of an engine, as a statement against the heavy polluting engine driven cargo sailing.
Before crossing the Atlantic to get cargo from Brasil and the Caribbean, the ship visits some European ports. In Brixham the ship will take in 5.400 bottles of Exeter Ale for the French port of Douarnenez, the next stop.
On this trip the hold of the ship is partially loaded with 20m3 of gymnastic devices. A part of these will be sailed to the Cape Verdian island Brava, and the rest is destined for a Brasilian girl named Samantha. (Click here to Read her story)
While entering Brixham a sail, painted by Dutch schoolchildren, will be set to attract attention for the so called Sail a Future-project.
As always the Tres Hombres can be visited during the daytime from about 10.00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m. Captain Arjen van der Veen, one of the three founding hombres (men) and his crew will gladly show the people of the Brixham area around and tell them about this unique selfbuilt ship and its mission.
Visit the website www.fairtransport.eu / www.svtreshombres.com for more information, investing in sailing cargo ships and the conditions to sail along, or address your question directly to firstname.lastname@example.com

The Artec of Sound
Version française...
common denominator in all of these halls is the acoustic design of Artec
Everyone who attends a live
performance experiences the thrill of the sound of music launched from the stage
and reflected in the hall. Depending on the acoustics of the hall, the result
can be good or great. Several major projects over the course of the next four
years will see concert-going become a better listening experience -- because
good natural acoustics are core to the designs.
Poor acoustics were the
inspiration for the renovations undertaken at Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall over
the last six months. Musicians and audiences alike have complained since its
opening 20 years ago of the dead acoustics from the stage and inconsistent
experiences according to the seats. Damian Doria, President of Artec
Consultants, the acousticians for the project, blames the huge volume of space
of the original design and the openings to the attic where sound is lost. When
the hall officially reopens with a gala on September 21, among the solutions in
the $20 million project is a series of 23 wooden bulkheads at the top of the
hall that effectively reduces the volume of the hall by 13.5% (see side
The announcement of the new
Montreal Symphony concert hall and the new Canadian Opera Company Opera House in
Toronto (the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts) within three months of
each other this spring has reinvigorated the prospect for excellent music making
in both cities. Both houses should be ready in 2005. At the same time, new halls
or studios are being planned at the Royal Conservatory of Music and McGill's
Faculty of Music.
Canadian trend
Canada already has a tradition
of acoustically good halls: the Winspear in Edmonton, the Chan Centre in
Vancouver, the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary, the Weston Recital Hall in
the Toronto Centre for the Arts, Domaine Forget in Charlevoix, all built in the
last 20 years. The common denominator in all of these halls is the acoustic
design of Artec Consultants. And not coincidentally, Artec are already the
designated acousticians for the RCM and McGill projects, and they have submitted
their candidature for the MSO hall as well. Artec did the acoustic design of the
original COC opera house plan years ago, and the firm is in the running again
this time.
Artec's track record has everything to do with their proven product. "It is
very important for opera companies, symphonies, and government agencies that are
searching for theatre planning consultants that somehow you have some very good
finished projects not too far from them," says 78-year-old Artec founder, CEO
and chief acoustician Russell Johnson, whom Norman Lebrecht in La Scena
Musicale Online called the one man on earth who can give conductors the
perfect sound. "When our opera houses open in Singapore and Săo Paulo, Brazil,
we should increase our projects in those parts of the world. I started to work
in Canada with the firm ARCOP in Montreal in 1955 and so we got started in
Canada many decades ago and this gradually led to more and more
What are Artec's secrets of
success? According to Doria, "Artec has focused throughout its history in making
rooms extremely quiet. For a long time we've been using the threshold of hearing
as a goal in background noise level in the hall, so that a person can't hear
anything but that which is created in the performance. Engineers didn't want to
believe that it is possible to achieve something like that -- most air
conditioning and lighting systems create plenty of noise. Now with microphones,
with the CD in the 1980s, we were faced with a situation where in order to have
a recording without tremendous amounts of noise on it, you have to have a quiet
room to begin with. Before that time, the recording and broadcast people didn't
really care about some noise in their rooms, the quietest studio has quite a bit
of noise. Back in the 1970s and 80s, Artec was already insisting on silent rooms
long before anyone in broadcast and recording thought it was important, to allow
the performers to create an intimate bond between themselves and the audience
and to maximize the dynamic range in the room so as to be able to play
pianissimo and be heard clearly."
Artec continues to push the
envelope of silence: the McGill recording studio is slated to be the quietest in
the world.
Many of Artec's successful halls
are rectangular in shape. Explains Doria, "The rectangle or shoebox allows you
to simultaneously achieve the sufficient amount of clarity with the long
reverberation time. If you shape the hall based on the rectangle, you are
creating a situation where there is strong lateral energy coming from the side
walls which both create an enveloping sound and reinforce the clarity of sound.
The sound that reaches the listener in the first 70-80 milliseconds reinforces,
in the way you hear psycho-acoustically, the direct sound you are hearing from
the performance in a way that adds a great amount of clarity. And if you make a
fairly tall shoebox like many of our halls are, the sound that ends up at the
top of the room filters back into the room later and gives you the long
reverberence that many types of music look for. There are some reasonably
successful alternatives, but they often have elements that are comparable to
shoeboxes: hybrid forms that have a lot of narrow parallel surfaces, a lot of
reflective ledges that are close to the audience. If the idea is to get the best
acoustics with the best investment, then a shoebox is a very good place to
an opera house
While Artec would not talk
specifically about the COC project, they readily shared their experiences of
opera houses. "The great houses of the past centuries were very tight volumes.
The reason why they could fit enough into those spaces is because they didn't
mind cramming people very close together. Today, we are concerned about how to
get people out of a fire, meaning that you can fit fewer people into that tight
"One of the primary goals in an
opera house is to try to keep that volume tight and intimate, not just for
acoustics but for the visual intimacy between the performers and the audience.
Very often they end up being more of a horseshoe shape or almost circular shape.
In order to create a sightline to the stage, you do tend to rake the seats more
in an auditorium for an opera or ballet than you would need to in a concert
hall. The acoustic detriment you try to overcome by the intimacy of the space.
The higher rake absorbs more sound. In most opera, you are not looking for a
very long reverb. Some of the greatest opera house have short reverb times, but
they don't necessarily make great concert halls."
And what is the ideal space?
Johnson offers a comparison: "The Metropolitain Opera is the wealthiest
operation and has the money to hire the very finest singers in the world who can
more or less cope successfully with the very large size of the Metropolitan
Opera. Most opera companies now are building 1600 to 2100 seat rooms, and they
will be used by singers who will be appropriate for the scale of these rooms.
You will hear singers in those halls who would not fare well at all at the
Metropolitan Opera."
Designing building and sound together
When a new performance centre is
planned, the acoustician is often chosen before the architect to provide
acoustic guidelines. "It's really a good collaborative effort," says Johnson.
According to Thomas Payne of KPMB, architect of the Roy Thomson project, Artec
suggested the main changes to the existing hall and it was up to the architect
to make the design meet those specifications. Sometimes, due to budget, an
implementation proceeds step by step over time. Over the past summer, thanks to
a donor who cashed in from the Nortel bubble, the Winspear Centre in Edmonton
installed a new organ constructed by Letourneau Organs of Quebec. According to
Johnson, "We had already decided where the organ should be placed. Most concert
halls have organs because of the symphonic repertoire for organ and orchestra.
It turns the room into a pipe organ recital hall, and the pipes create an
interesting visual." Having the organ placed at the centre line, above the
choral seating behind the stage, as in the case of the Winspear, is a favourite
design for Johnson. "The choral seats give the ticket buyers a wonderful view of
the conductor and it helps to get additional seats in the hall," says
Having reach the apex of their
profession, are there any challenges remaining for Artec? Johnson demurs,
saying, "It's extremely important to continue to develop our expertise. We are
constantly trying to discover all things that didn't work, by looking for
shortcomings, by looking for even the slightest improvements. We are constantly
seeking the holy grail that will be the perfect room."
of a Good Acoustic Hall
Wood, good reflecting surfaces,
quiet lighting and air conditioning and an adjustable canopy are some elements
contributing to making a good concert hall. According to Doria, the cost of
quiet lighting and air conditioning is not really that much more expensive.
"There is a small premium for quieter dimmers but it is really selecting the
right kind of light fixtures and circuiting them correctly. Starting with a
quiet fan unit with the proper size -- which in most cases is not really more
expensive than a standard one -- and picking a point on its operating curve
where it operates quietly as its normal operating condition. We design the air
ducts so that there is enough length between the fan and the room so the fan is
not heard, and we make gentle turns in the ducts in order not to generate a lot
of air flow noise within the ductwork itself." At the press conference unvealing
Roy Thomson Hall, the officials proudly announced that every seat was computer
modelled acoustically seven years ago. "Every surface in the room can be
assigned an absorption factor in a computer, to arrive at the probable reverb
time," said Doria. The 23 bulkheads serve not only to reduce the volume of the
space and give the hall more rectangular characteristics, its sandblasted maple
finish reflects sound back. Sound-absorbing banners can be lowered to cover the
bulkheads to reduce reverb for amplified concerts. Visually, the most noticeable
feature of the new Roy Thomson Hall is its movable circular and crescent-shaped
canopies located above the stage that house the stage lights, also found in the
Chan Centre and many other Artec halls. The canopy reflects sound back to both
the stage and audience to solve the problem of dry acoustics for the musicians.
The idea is to raise the canopies as much as possible for large orchestral works
and lower them for solo recitals; adjustments can be made during intermission.
Before the September 21 opening, Artec engineers will be working for a month
with musicians from the TSO and other ensembles to arrive at optimal settings.
When the adjustable features are not optimized, the results can be
disappointing. Philadelphia's Kimmel Centre (another Artec project) opened last
December to mixed reviews. Said Johnson, "The building owners decided to open
nine months ahead of schedule. There were many features that were not installed
at the time."

Recovery House Provides Treatment for Oxycontin Addiction
To show how serious the opioid crisis in the United States has become, the Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, announced recently that Americans should seriously carry an overdose antidote with them. The situation certainly has reached crises levels as the number of people suffering from opioid addiction, particularly Oxycontin addiction, reaches well in to the millions.
Anyone battling OxyContin addiction need not feel despair since hope does exist in the form of professional care and treatment. If you are searching for assistance in your path to sobriety, you can find the help you need to live drug-free at a treatment facility. There are hundreds of drug rehabs in Tennessee that have multiple treatment plans.
A Rehab Stay Offers Access To Professional Treatment
One of the main benefits of entering OxyContin treatment centers involves the ability to deal with the condition in a safe environment. In order to become free of an addiction, you must stop using the drug. ceasing the use OxyContin does come with withdrawal symptoms that can be painfully difficult to deal with. at a reputable facility, you would be monitored by a skilled staff of treatment professionals. The initial detoxification period may become more manageable for you when you have access to people capable of supporting you through the struggle.
Careful monitoring contributes to improved detoxification safety. Attempts to detox outside of the controlled environment of Oxycontin treatment centers certainly brings forth great risks. Checking into a professional treatment center cuts down on those risks while improving the chances of successful rehabilitation.
A Comfortable Stay
You shouldn't stress over checking into rehab. Admission into rehab doesn't require complicated steps. A welcoming facility provides a comfortable environment designed to meet the needs of those requiring care. Most importantly, the stay involves taking part in various important sessions such as medication management, relapse prevention, and communication skills development. A weekly schedule details when and how often you attend specific sessions.
Rehabs in Tennessee, in particular, are committed to your drug recovery. contact the treatment center today to discuss admission and start on the path to recovery.

Multiple muscle groups may eventually become involved, with most patients experiencing pain in the neck, middle
lower back, arms
chest wall. These areas feel painful with even slight pressure and are called tender points (figure 1). Many patients with fibromyalgia feel that their joints are swollen, although there is no visible inflammation of the joints (arthritis). ### FIBROMYALGIA TESTS — There are no specific laboratory or imaging tests used to diagnose fibromyalgia.

I've been having neuropathic issues like itching/burning/numbness/headaches/pins & needles. I see a rheumatologist for Lupus &/or RA and when I told him my symptoms he said they were all due to fibromyalgia. It really made me mad that he wouldn't take them seriously and didn't even want to treat me for fibro. I'm going to press my family doctor to start a treatment regimen.

I also take Lyrica for nerve pain, Trazadone
Flexeril at night to help with sleep
muscle spasms,
I am on Zoloft
bloodpressure meds. I went a long time with no pain meds then to Tramadol then to Lortab, etc.... I have very high pain levels on a daily basis plus I have a high tolerance to meds so the weaker ones never worked well for me. The meds I am on now help more than anything else ever has and I am so thankful! I still have pain but it is a lot easier to deal with now.

For my doctor visits before and even now, I write down what I need to ask in advance and prepare a list of any new symptoms and so on (when I think about it) and it helps alot - my appts are much quicker
I know my dr. appreciates it. Also,
is new and there are alot in the medical community who think it's a mental disease (which it's not according to the CDC) ask for references for dr's who actually treat the specific diagnosis and start there.

I also have nerve damage
shooting pain
in my legs. I take hydrocodone for the pain

My muscles are extremely tight all the time. I take flexoral 3 times a day but it doesn't seem to help. My doctor now thinks I have some type of myofacial disorder.

Hi All. (2nd posting sorry I posted in the wrong spot at first) I don't know if I have fibromyalgia so maybe you can all offer some advice. I am 36 year old female. About 8 weeks ago I noticed my left arm was difficult to drive with and it really struck me as beign strange. It felt heavy. I thought it felt weak but looking back 'heavy' is a more accurate term. I went to my dr. who sent me to a neuro. By the time I saw the neuro I was conviced that I had ALS. Convinced.

the fact that you require B12 supplements you can experience generalized pain,
, tingling
other such symptoms. There are many other medical issues that can be induced when your system in severely deficient in B12. I sincerely hope that you will continue to take it as prescribed. It's an important vitamin for health. There are studies that suggest an "event" can trigger fibromyalgia, such as you describe.

Springtime 2005, a 50-year old resident from the village Ruinen [Dutch province Drenthe] witnessed a luminous stationary UFO at the edge of a wood. Like every evening the witness was walking round 9 pm to her paddock in the mid-forest, when she suddenly spotted a bright stationary light in the northwest. She decided to turn off her flashlight, so she wouldn't be noticed. After walking to the edge of the forest, she had a clear view of the UFO. The light emission was stable and she couldn't detect any details on the soundless object. Suddenly she got the feeling being watched 'like being looked at by other people' after which the light disappeared at once.
On a cloudy Saturday, August 13, 2005, from approx. 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm, over 20 residents from Brummen [Dutch province Gelderland] witnessed UFOs in formation:
An 18-year old student reported that she, her girlfriends, and her family, witnessed two bright orange objects, moving fluently from south to north in a straight line with an in-between distance of a few hundred meters. Her girlfriend first noticed the objects at 10:20 pm, shouting 'Look, look, strange lights in the sky!', after which she informed her family.
A few blocks away, a 52-year old cleaning woman, her family and neighbours, were barbecuing, when at 10:35 pm she suddenly spotted a strange light approaching at high speed. Soon all 5 witnesses looked in the direction she pointed out. It appeared to be a group of two UFOs moving from south to north. One witness grabbed his camera and was able to capture a second group of two UFOs. These objects were moving behind each others instead of side by side. Through glasses one witness noticed the objects 'were sphere shaped with two rounds in the centre and sharp triangles'. When they thought all objects had passed by, a single object flashed by in the same direction.
A 23-year old graphic designer also witnessed the UFOs. He noticed that one object 'came to a complete stop after which the one behind slid beneath it'.
More about this massive UFO sighting next newsflash.
On Monday, August 15, 2005, around midnight, a 15-year old student and her little sister were going to stay the night at their neighbour's house in Stokrooie, Hasselt [Belgian province Limburg]. When the 15-year old reached the garden path, that connects the two backyards, she spotted a luminous object above the house of opposite neighbours. Her sister also noticed the object. "The disc shaped object was circulating at high speed, approx. two a three meters above the roof ridge. It emitted a yellowish hazy light," the witness reported. When they reached the neighbour's house, the object had disappeared.

From this newsflash on I'll report about the ongoing alien abduction experiences of a very sincere and sensible 39-year old Dutch woman, who is part of the Dutch abductee support group SolAAS.
"My earliest memory is when I'm three years old. I'm in my bedroom, but suddenly I'm no longer there. I'm lying on a bed and next to me lies another person in another bed: a man obviously afraid, who tries to signal me, but can't move. He looks at me and tries to say something. I feel very afraid, get off the bed and try to run away. I want to go to my Mom, but then an entity approaches, who takes me back and gives me something to drink. Then I'm more calmed down. I incline to think the entity is female, but I'm not sure. It's like I'm not able to see it, but 'she' doesn't frighten me. The next moment I'm on the landing of my house and go quickly to my parents, who are asleep. I'm scared and don't want to go to my room anymore. I don't understand why they didn't see anything. I was only three..."
Q: Can you tell a bit more about this entity and the room you're in?
"The room I find myself in as a 3-year old is to my mind a 'hospital' and that's why the female entity is a 'nurse' in my opinion. She has a light white skin color and dark eyes, but i don't further look at her. She feels ok and calms me down. There are attributes in the room, medical devices and everything is very white and bright. But after I get scared it looks like I'm outside: the same interior but a peaceful outside atmosphere, very strange."
Q: What's the next experience you remember?
"When i'm older I get more nightly visits, but i 'm not so fraid anymore. It's always the same entity, who somehow reassures me. Also my room often 'disappears' and then I find myself somewhere else."
Q: Can you tell a bit more about this entity?
"This entity is a smaller one, a bit of Asiatic. He is a kind of mentor to me, who teaches among other things how to ease my mind and how to control pain. It sounds weird, but he let's me 'float', what I found the most enjoying thing as a kid. He also teaches me how to travel with my mind. I could see my parents in the room below, without them seeing me. The next day I told them where they were talking about, what was correct. I thought this all was very normal until others pointed out it was not so common at all."
Continued in next newsflash.
October last year Prof. Dr. Willem (Wim) de Graaff, a professor emeritus of Astronomy and Physics, passed away. De Graaff was involved in Dutch UFO research since the Sixties. Through the Dutch 'Wet Openbaarheid van Bestuur' - the Dutch equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act - and with help of the dutch UFO study group NOBOVO, he gained access to two military bunkers in Waalsdorp, a village near The Hague. Reportedly the best Dutch UFO material is secretly kept there for closer examination, including pictures, movies, radar images and UFO reports from pilots among others.

Watching the huge vessels pass through the Soo locks is a unique experience that cannot be seen anywhere else in the United States. There are locks in the 26 mile Welland Canal, built to bypass Niagara Falls, but the maximum size vessel is 740' long and 78' wide. The locks at the Soo will hold the huge 1000' freighters used on the Great Lakes.
You can watch the "Lakers" and the "Salties"(ocean-going vessels) as they travel the seaway between ports and see them rise or drop the 21 feet between the levels of the St. Mary's River. There is an upper viewing area so you are able to look down on the vessels as they lock through or stand almost close enough to touch them.
The Visitors Center has a schedule of arriving vessels and general information such as size, cargo, destination, etc. There are also TV's so you can watch the vessels as they approach the locks from the St. Mary's River. Within the Visitors Center are charts, maps, artifacts, photographs, a working model of the locks, and a film presentation.
The locks operate most of the year, but are closed from Jan 15 to March 25 for maintenance. The locks are closed for longer periods if the weather is severe.
The Poe and the MacArthur Locks are in use at this time. The MacArthur is the lock closest to the viewing area and will handle vessels up to 800 feet long, 80 feet wide and 31 feet deep.
The big 1000' Lakers need to use the second lock (The Poe) that is 1200' long, 110' wide and 32 feet deep, but you can still get close enough for a really good view. The MacArthur Lock was built in 1943 and the Poe Lock was built in 1968. The two other locks, Davis and Sabin are closed.
The Davis Lock was built in 1918 and the Sabin Lock was built in 1919. Both these locks are too shallow (only 23 feet deep). A new and even bigger lock is planned which would take up the space now used by the Davis and the Sabin, but funding has not yet been made available.
Cargo carried by some of the vessels might include iron ore (usually taconite pellets) limestone, coal, grain, cement, salt or sand. The huge freighter in the picture is a self-unloader carrying taconite pellets to Cleveland, Lorain, Chicago, Gary, Burns Harbor, Indiana Harbor, Detroit, Toledo, Ashtabula, Conneaut, or another iron ore receiving port.
Many different types of vessels pass through the locks each year, from small passenger boats to the huge vessels carrying over 72,000 tons in cargo. Approximately 5,000 boats use the locks yearly. The number of boats using the canal has decreased as the size of the boats has increased.

Wimbledon is gripping but inevitably a bit southern. But here's a northern angle which I bet you didn't know about.
What happens to the used balls at the end of the day? I can't answer for all of them, but a couple of boxes have ended up as homes for mice in the Lake District.
Yes, really. The Lakes Aquarium at the foot of Windermere had the notion after watching both the current championships and the fondness of their mice (in an aquarium? Yes it isn't just fish) for both cosy nests and hamster-type playthings.
Bingo! Make a hole in a tennis ball and you have both. So they wrote off to the All-England Club and asked.
Over to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum which dealt with the request and says: "The All England Lawn Tennis Club does all it can to re-use balls left on its hands at the end of Wimbledon fortnight with many being sold for charity. Most requests are related to much more mundane future uses than the one
suggested by Lakes Aquarium. And we could hardly refuse to send some, once we heard that this was a re-housing project."
Game, set and match to the Aquarium which houses the brown mice as part of a living display of local wildlife. One of the attraction's workers, Cathy Burrows, says the mice love the balls and are using them for 'zorbing and spinning' before kipping down for a rest.
The balls were all used in this year's championships and Cathy says: "Visitors are intrigued by the story behind them and the display is certainly creating a talking point."
There is no danger of the mice suffering a housing shortage btw. Slazenger supply 52,000 balls for the annual championship. They used to be made in Barnsley which always made me very happy, but production moved to the Philippines in 2003/4.

Well, here's something new. Shortly after a new rumor came to give us some details about the pricing of the upcoming Google Pixel smartphone, it turns out that Alphabet subsidiary Nest may have leaked it in an ad. Nest is currently showing a TV commercial in the Netherlands which clearly features a phone that looks exactly like all of the past leaks and rumors told us the Pixel would look like.
Sure, this could be a dummy Pixel and not a functioning device, but the design that's been leaked many times over is clearly all there. Take a look at the images below, taken from that ad.
This is the silver version of the phone, which will come with a white front and a white glass window on the upper part of the back. In the black model, the front fascia and the glass on the back will be black. And for both, the frame is metal and so is the lower part of the back. Here's the full video of Nest's ad:
Such mistakes very rarely happen, but they still do from time to time. Now all that's left is for October 4 to come and for Google to finally make the Pixel and Pixel XL official. The two have been rumored to share the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset, 4GB of RAM, a 12 MP main camera, and launch with Android 7.1 on board. The Pixel should have a 5-inch 1080p touchscreen, while the XL will take it up a notch with a 5.5-inch QHD panel - both presumably AMOLED.
Guess my $180 Nexus 6 is still looking good.

Well, it turned out the universe did want me and The Mega Plush mascara to be together because it arrived on my doorstep like a gift from the gods. The Maybelline gods.
As you know, I'm a fan of bright packaging when it comes to mascaras, so it gets bonus points for that. But hello Mr Bendy Wand. I haven't seen you before. The flexible wand promises to caress the lashes but I don't see much bending when I'm applying my mascara. Oh and please resist the urge to go boinggg with it or you'll end up with mascara juice all over your face.
The gel-mousse formula is one of the most lightweight ones I've come across in ages and it really feels like I've hardly anything on my lashes. There's not a hint of crunchiness and I can get through a work day with nary a smudge or flake to be seen.
It adds length to my lashes and the much loved drama that I need when it comes to mascaras. I've been wearing it to work every day for the past couple of weeks and love it. I'm very much in the more-is-more camp when it comes to mascaras and while I do like natural wispy lashes, my heart lies with drama and volume.

Eben Oliver Weiss, who has been blogging anonymously as The Bike Snob for the past three years, faced his fans Saturday afternoon at a signing in DUMBO for his newly released book, "Bike Snob: Systematically and Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling."
He responded to some readers' professed "disappointment" upon learning his true identity as a former semi-professional racer, literary agent and now full-time writer ("What? You weren't expecting a whiny white guy?" he says), answered questions and showed a slide show of his early years of cycling as a child in Queens.
While in his posts no one is safe from his good-humored ridicule, in person, Weiss proved to be a diplomatic, if slightly nervous ("I've never spoken in front of so many people before," he said to the thirty or so gathered) host, giving out Bike Snob-branded patch kits and T-shirts to those that had traveled the farthest (Finland) and anyone with a bicycle-themed tattoo (only one person was brave enough to bare it).
His book, like his blog, takes a wry look at urban bike culture and the cycling world at large, but Weiss says that when he wrote the book he wanted it to be more than a collection of "vegetables that are shaped liked bicycle," presumably referring to the tendency that so many blog-to-books or "blooks" have to become.
With chapters dedicated to the history of the bicycle and etiquette for non-cyclists as well as helpful tips on how to lock your bike and what to wear when you ride, Bike Snob can certainly stand on its own (also, it has stickers).
But the most exciting part about writing the book for Weiss is that his readers have something they can take with them to the can: "And I hope you will," he says.

Handle9: You are comparing apples and oranges with the kwh charges, what is your line charge and what does that equate to as a per/kw rate? Powershop don't do fixed charges so it's all built into the variable rate.
When I changed from Mercury to Powershop my kwh rate went up but my overall bill went down as there are no fixed charges.
Not what we found at all, Mercury is actually cheaper even including the fixed line rate. The kwh chargers through powershop are a lot higher than what we are currently paying.
We were with powershop for over a year and when we first started it was actually a lot cheaper. Then a couple of months back received and email from Powershop saying there kwh charges were going up, they sky rocketed.
So put all my information into powerswitch and found our old provider was cheaper. They were not the cheapest but still cheaper than what Powershop were offereing.
Changed and now our monthly bill is $160-$190, compare this to $220-$260 well worth the change.

From Vermin Compost to Broccoli Bounty ensuring steady income through Crop Diversification
Fifty-five year old Chhiddiram from Ghadi Panghor village of Kumher block in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan is no more a cereal crop farmer, something that he had been for decades. He is now recognized as a progressive and successful farmer, someone the local communities and markets are proud of. The reason-he was amongst the first farmers to embrace and adopt unconventional farming by changing his cropping pattern with the support of the Lupin Foundation.
Under the poverty eradication program, Chiddiram set up vermin compost unit with help of Lupin Foundation to minimize the use of chemicals and other fertilizers. LHWRF not only ensured that we back is decision up with the right inputs but also provided him with Broccoli seeds at a subsidized rate. He prepared his land and nursery in the month of October and planted the crop in November. He used only 200 grams of seed per acre. The total input cost for Chiddiram was about Rs. 20,000 which included land preparation, seed and irrigation not to mention labour-cost, weeding, mulching and other farming operations. He saved costs on fertilizers by using compost organic fertiliser prepared in his very own vermin compost unit. He avoided pesticides and thus, the broccoli vegetable produced by him was almost organic. He was able to harvest about 4,000 kg of Broccoli during the year which he sold at an average rate of Rs 55 per kg. Thus, he earned about Rs 2,20,000 during the year through growing Broccoli alone. Unlike cereal crops, broccoli commands a higher and better rate in the market throughout the year. This simple shift from conventional to a market friendly horticulture crop can ensure steady incomes to most farmers; an important income enhancing strategy that LHWRF is ensuring adoption for in rural communities across adopted areas of operations.

A 31 year-old man was arrested after issuing loans of up to about $26,000 to other foreign nationals in Singapore. He demanded a 20% monthly interest on these loans.
The police arrested the man at a shopping center along Paya Lebar Road on Sunday after they received a tip off about the man's activities in Tanjong Katong in August.
Unlicensed money lending has become a source of concern for Singaporeans with recent cases involving foreign domestic workers borrowing large amounts of money using their employer's details and addresses. They are typically given access to loansharks via SMS advertising or through friends.
If found guilty, the Indian national faces jail of up to 4 years, a maximum fine of $300,000 and up to six strokes of the cane.

STILLWATER – Many Journal readers are familiar with the name if not the face of Chris Sinclair of Stillwater. He has been a contributor to this newspaper on behalf of the St. Mary's River Association for the past four summers. Some may have been wondering where his commentary on the river has gone this fishing season. The answer is much further afield.
This spring, after completing a diploma course at Holland College in wildlife conservation, Sinclair headed out to the wilderness of Labrador and Crook's Lake Lodge to work as a fishing guide. After a thrilling six-week contract he's back on the St. Mary's and spoke to The Journal last week about his Labrador experience.
Crook's Lake Lodge is approximately 60 km southeast of Goose Bay, Labrador. And Labrador, for those unfamiliar with the location, is one of the greatest wilderness areas in Canada. Pristine and rugged, the land is not particularly welcoming to inexperienced strangers but above-average sized fish bring fishermen from all over North America as surely as a Sinclair tied fly will catch a good fish on the St. Mary's River.
Sinclair, whose age belies his experience with the angling life, landed the job at Crook's Lake by simply asking if they had any openings this season. That ask was made easier by the fact that he knew the lodge owner and has a serious social media presence in conservation and fisheries circles. Being known as knowledgable has its benefits.
The life of a fishing guide is nothing like nine to five. Sinclair got up at six a.m. and was on the water by eight every day. Along with taking clients on the lake he was also responsible for camp chores like supplying fire wood, general maintenance, cleaning of the lodge and occasionally rousting bears from the property. "There is no real end...I worked and lived in the same breath. It wasn't like a strict hours job...Whenever there was something to do I had to do it."
Another part of his job was tying flies and teaching clients what flies to use in Labrador waters. The brook trout, said Sinclair, are much larger and pickier than their southern brethren and need a bigger fly. "These fish are just spectacular fish and they are totally different than the ones we have in Nova Scotia."
Sinclair, as a Nova Scotian, had to learn the ways and preferences of the Labrador fish which he did by consulting a guide who previously worked at the lodge and by keeping a close watch on the hatches that occurred on the lake. "We had some hatches I wasn't prepared for like number 18 black caddis...there were three or four different species in one hatch. It was pretty interesting to run into that."
The most challenging part of the job, said Sinclair, was earning the respect "of people who had been fishing for longer than double the amount of years I have been on this earth. I have only been fishing for seven years and people that have been fishing for 40 found it hard to respect the opinion of a 20-year-old...Some did give you a bit of an issue; the age gap was an issue."
Aside from the work experience, Sinclair developed a connection to the land over his time at the lodge and was surprised by how special Labrador became to him. "I am a tree hugger of sorts and that place was spiritual for me. I grew up in the most beautiful area of Nova Scotia, in my opinion. I might be a little bit biased...being up there, I was so grateful to be there in the wilderness. I was surprised by how much it made me appreciate what we have."
Six weeks passed in the blink of an eye but Sinclair plans to do it all again next year—he's secured the fishing guide position at Crook's Lake for the coming season. "The experience will help me be a better guide and better fisherman in general.The life lessons I learned up there will help me be a better person."
Sinclair published an online flip book of his Labrador experience which can be found a http://online.fliphtml5.com/diio/zjlc/#p=1.

Some people seem to skip happily through life.
But I feel so weighed down. How can I even smile?
June 27, 2005
Sometimes the negative thoughts, the cloudy mind and the heavy cloud really drive me up the wall.
Sometimes I'd just like to be left alone.
June 26, 2005
when I was depressed, the air around me felt dark and heavy and meaningless. I would drag myself out of bed.
Some depressives have trouble getting out of bed. I could always do that. It was actually leaving the house that was hard.
Sometimes I would get out of bed, make a cup of tea, sit on the couch and then feel totally unable to do anything else.
June 25, 2005
Being depressed can affect your appetite. And so can antidepressants.
When I was really depressed and I didn't want to cook and I didn't feel like eating, bananas were one of the few things I could eat.

Antidepressants stopped the crying but they also affected my desires.

Hey all! Happy Tuesday!
Today I wanted to show you a couple of cards I made with the Early Autumn kits. This week's theme over here is "Autumn Activities" so I thought I would make some birthday cards in honor of my mother-in-law's birthday that is today!
For the first little guy, I used a kraft base, cut down to fit the 3x4 card in the center. I attached the banner die-cut with pop dots, and hot glued a little twine bow there at the top, and added the "happy" stickers over the pennants. I added another pennant sticker at the top, and borrowed that MME wood heart veneer from a past kit. LOVE them!
For this pretty little lady I cut card base from the yellow cardstock in the classic kit and then cut the grey 6x6 paper down to 6x4. I cut out the 4x6 journaling card from the cutapart page in the DD kit and used my paper trimmer to cut out 1/4 of an inch from the 6" side. I disguised the seam with the grey diagonal ribbon, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite things on earth! I cut the flower pitcher from the other cutapart sheet and pop-dotted it over the ribbon. Then I just added one of those cute little flowers in the DD embellie bag, and stamped a cute birthday-type saying at the bottom. This is definitely a simpler design than I usually gravitate to, but when you're designing a card for a specific person, it's good to keep their style in mind.
And now I'm off to fill in the inside of this pretty thing and get ready for a fun day ahead!
Hope you all are having some fun Autumn Activites, too!

Cucumber and Tomato Salad with BEST-EVER Italian Vinaigrette is garden-fresh and the perfect side dish for summer!
I have a bunch of recipes in my brain that I've either been eating since I was a kid, or at least on the regular over the past couple of years, that are so simple you'd likely take one look at the post and say, um, nice try Kristin. Does this really require a recipe?
One such "recipe" is Cucumber and Tomato Salad. I've told you many times that my Mom served a fresh iceberg salad with dinner every night growing up, but in the summertime things got a little more interesting (and by little I mean a lot – we're talking a bowl of plain iceberg lettuce here!)
The summertime is when my Mom's garden blossomed. Tomatoes grew faster than we could pick them. Cucumbers dripped from the vines. Rhubarb plants grew heavy with neglect (because rhubarb.) At dinnertime, a head of iceberg lettuce wrapped in plastic was replaced with a colander-full of fresh, homegrown vegetables. MAN was it a treat!
I've been eating the simple combination of cucumbers and tomatoes every summer for nearly my entire life, but it's the recent discovery of an incredible homemade Italian Vinaigrette that I'm calling, you guessed it, THE BEST EVER, that's elevated this summery combo into the post-worthy category.
The dressing is nearly the same as the one in my Best Pasta Salad, but I adapted it to be even quicker and easier – namely nixing the minced shallot and red pepper, replacing them with dried minced onion (a spice cupboard staple,) and, well, no red pepper. I don't miss it – especially when it means I don't have to dirty a cutting board and knife to make this vinaigrette.
I first whipped up this version of the vinaigrette to serve with a cucumber and tomato salad about a month ago and Ben took one bite then said, "yeah, you can go ahead and bottle this." It. Is. So. Good. I honest to goodness eat the salad with a spoon so I can get every last drop!
Like I said, the recipe for cucumber and tomato salad is not rocket science – I included amounts of both cucumber and tomato for those who want or need it – but just pick a few of each from your garden or grocery store, and you're set. I include fresh basil in this salad because I always have a truck load of it growing in the summertime, but if you don't feel like springing for it, the salad is just as refreshing and delicious without it (although what doesn't benefit from a little basil thrown into the mix? Strawberry-Basil Ginger Cocktail, I'm looking at you!)
Start by making the Best-Ever Italian Vinaigrette. Trust me when I say this stuff is better than anything you'll find at the store!
To a mason jar or bowl add scant 1 cup neutral-tasting oil like canola or avocado (EVOO will overpower the flavor of the dressing – I used organic canola,) 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 2 Tablespoons apple cider vineger, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried minced onions, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon each honey and salt, 1/4 teaspoon each dried marjoram and dried oregano, and pepper to taste. Shake or whisk to combine. You can make this up to a couple weeks in advance, by the way!
Next add 2 small cucumbers that have been peeled, deseeded and chopped to a bowl with 4 vine-ripened tomatoes that have been seeded and chopped, and 1/2 cup loosely packed basil that's been chopped. My favorite method for deseeding cucumbers is to slice in half lengthwise then use a teaspoon or other small spoon to scrape out the seeds. Super quick and easy.
Drizzle on as much Best-Ever Italian Vinaigrette as you wish then toss with a bit more salt and pepper.
Either pop in the refrigerator until dinnertime or serve right away to enjoy the BEST fresh flavors of summertime!

- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- pepper, to taste
- Combine all ingredients for the Italian Vinaigrette in a jar with a tight fitting lid or a bowl then shake or whisk to combine. Can be made up to 2 weeks ahead of time. Toss with cucumbers, tomatoes, and basil in a large bowl then season with extra salt and pepper and serve.
