Zap! Can giving yourself a series of small shocks actually help reduce pain? That's the thinking behind transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy. This therapy involves the use of low-voltage electrical current to help reduce pain in certain areas of the body. Usually, people undergoing the therapy are given a small device and shown how to use it at home by their doctor or dentist.
How Does TENS Therapy Work?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy works by tricking the brain, the Cleveland Clinic explains. The electrical currents produced by a TENS device travel through the skin and into the nerves and prevent the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain.
Although it sounds like something out of a futuristic science-fiction movie, TENS therapy is surprisingly old. The Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry reports that people in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome used the electrical shock produced by the marbled electric ray (a type of fish) to relieve pain.
TENS Devices
Fortunately, modern-day TENS therapy has advanced considerably and no longer involves the use of an aquatic creature to alleviate pain. Today's TENS devices are typically small, hand-held machines that look like an MP3 player (as the Mayo Clinic describes them). To use the device, you place small electrodes on your skin near the area where there is pain. The electrodes are connected to the controller by small wires. The controller typically has a dial or buttons that allow you to adjust the intensity of the electrical current.
Several types of TENS devices are available. The devices meant for consumer use, which you're likely to find in the drugstore or online, are not particularly powerful. That's good news since you don't want to run the risk of giving yourself too much of a shock. A conventional TENS device, meant to be used by a medical professional in a clinical setting, typically produces low-intensity pulsed currents with a high frequency, according to the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry. Intense TENS devices use both high-intensity and high-frequency currents.
Conditions TENS Therapy Helps Treat
TENS therapy is often used to help treat conditions that cause pain or as a therapy to alleviate acute or chronic pain. A review of studies published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews suggests that there is tentative evidence to support the fact that TENS therapy can relieve acute pain, but notes that many of the studies reviewed had small sample sizes or weren't blind.
In 2009, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) ruled that TENS therapy wasn't recommended for treatment of lower back pain, due to insufficient evidence of its effectiveness. That same year, the AAN ruled that TENS therapy could be considered as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy. TENS therapy may help relieve chronic pain caused by conditions, such as fibromyalgia, tendinitis and bursitis.
Using TENS for Dental Issues
TENS therapy might be a suitable treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, although some of the studies conducted to test its effectiveness have been small. One study published in the Dental Research Journal noted that TENS therapy could be used as an initial symptomatic approach to treating TMJ disorders, but most likely wasn't a radical or definitive method of managing the condition.
Additional research has looked at the use of a TENS device as an alternative to a dental anesthetic during treatment. The research has found that TENS therapy can help reduce pain during a dental treatment (such as a cavity filling) and might also reduce the discomfort produced by the injection of another anesthetic.
Should You Try TENS Therapy?
If you have TMJ disorder or are concerned about the needle used to administer an anesthetic during a dental treatment, TENS therapy might provide some relief. The Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering suggests that the only people who should be cautious using TENS therapy are those who have an implanted device like a pacemaker.
Your dentist can help you decide if using a TENS device would help you and can recommend the right type of device to try. They might also adjust or program the device for you so that it produces the appropriate amount of electrical current. Feel free to ask your dentist any questions you have about TENS therapy to find out if it's the right option for you.

– we better try to honor our gootota practically in the form of strengthening WBO/OLA (Oromo Liberation Army), the presently living heroines and heroes, instead of only narrating about the best ones of the past history. Furthermore, we can honor them by following their example of being martyrs together, i.e. refusing to be divided based on region, politics and religion. Just as our gootota demonstrated to us never to fall into the trap of the religious divide (Christian vs. Muslim), may Waaqa give us the wisdom also not to fall into the currently ongoing trap of political divide (as pro-independence vs. pro-union). Just like the OLF was accommodative of both the Christian and Muslim Oromo nationalists, it needs to be inclusive, in the future, regarding the pro-independence and pro-union Oromo nationalists. Both these political camps can demonstrate to the Oromo people that they are ready to sacrifice their lives by working in one and the same national liberation front, so that giving Oromummaa the priority to their favorite type of Oromian sovereignty, which they respectively will realize per public verdict after achieving bilisummaa Oromo together.– we better strive to dedicate, commit and devote ourselves to the Oromo cause, for which the gootota gave their lives, especially in consolidating and re-uniting the vanguard national liberation front of our people – the OLF, in order to make it accommodative of all the three existing forms of factions (pro-independence, pro-self-determination and pro-union), but encouraging this inclusive OLF to use the three cards effectively based on the right timing and objective reality. As I put in my last opinion, I do still believe that one accommodative, re-united and inclusive OLF can be more efficient than the currently fragmented three separated factions with their three quasi exclusive objectives. Let alone the effectiveness of the structurally inclusive OLF, even accepting and respecting the move of the OLF-mindset of bilisummaa doing its liberating business, be it in the ruling OPDO way, in the opposing OFC way or in the disintegratedly rebelling OLF ways of the pro-independence, pro-self-determination and pro-union factions, is constructive approach of honoring the martyrs in a better manner.

The sports world lost a pioneer in the business earlier today when we learned of the passing of Dick Enberg. A man who played such a key role in growing the sports media landscape and paved the way for it to be the way things are today spent many years working for NBC, CBS, and ESPN and his impact at each continues to shape the way in which we both present and consume sports coverage across each network and beyond.
Perhaps it is a fitting tribute that Enberg's alma mater, Central Michigan, is in action today in a bowl game. In honor of the sports media legend, Central Michigan's football team is wearing makeshift stickers with Enberg's signature "Oh my!" call in his honor.
Enberg graduated from Central Michigan in 1957. He later earned a master's and doctorate degree from Indiana.

Democrats are confident they will have enough votes to protect the Iran nuclear deal in the US Congress, but they face an uphill task to avoid President Barack Obama having to use his veto power to ensure the agreement's survival.
"We're getting close," said Senator Richard Durbin, who as Minority Whip is the Democrats' chief vote counter in the senate, referring to the 34 senate votes needed to sustain an Obama veto if Congress initially rejects the deal.
"I have really been heartened by the positive response from our caucus," he told Reuters on Thursday.
Obama will be able to save the agreement if he can deny opponents in either the senate or the House of Representatives the two-thirds majority needed to override his expected veto.
Senate aides said they expected to reach that threshold before Congress returns from recess on Sept. 8, ahead of a vote on the deal which must take place before Sept 17.
Blocking Resolution in Doubt
But achieving the 41 Senate votes needed to block an expected "resolution of disapproval" of the deal by the Republican majority - avoiding the need for a veto - remains in doubt, they acknowledged.
Twenty-seven senate Democrats and two independents have announced support for the agreement.
With more Democrats expected to come out in favor within days, the White House is edging toward the 34 Senate votes needed to sustain Obama's veto and preserve his top foreign policy achievement from collapse.
Growing support for the deal has led to speculation that Democrats are approaching the 41 votes they would need under procedural rules to block a disapproval resolution in the senate and keep it from reaching Obama's desk.
To reach 41 votes, 12 of the 15 undecided senate Democrats would have to support a motion blocking it. Senior Democratic aides said they do not yet have that many votes even in their private "likely yes" columns.
"The last 10% is always the hardest," a senate Democratic leadership aide said.
One pro-deal group tracking the vote said it was confident of only about six or seven of the 15 remaining undecided Democrats eventually backing the deal.
Obama has lobbied heavily for the deal and an aide said Durbin had called undecided Democrats every day during Congress' four-week summer recess. Progressive groups have lobbied intensely for the agreement, promising to block donations to any "war hawk" who opposes it.
Opponents have spent millions on advertisements. Republican leaders, powerful pro-Israel groups and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself oppose the deal.
The White House has declined to comment on its outlook beyond saying it is working to gather enough votes to keep Congress from "spoiling" the pact.
Deal supporters need 34 of the 100 senators or 146 members of the 435-seat house to sustain a veto.
So far, only 78 house members, all Democrats, support the deal, according to a count by the Bipartisan Policy Center. No Republican has yet backed the agreement.

- Day 1 : DAY 1 - AIRPORT PICK UPWe will be there to greet you when you arrive (into either Bangkok airport) and will take you straight to our hotel, just a stone's throw away from the famous backpacker hotspot of Khao San road. Even if you arrive one or two days before the start of the trip we will still pick you up, will introduce you to any other early arrivals and give you some ideas for things to do and see in Bangkok before the tour starts.There are no activities planned for day one so you have time to get settled in, meet your new travel buddies and get ready for one of our best: The Northern Thailand and Beaches tour. In the evening we'll take you to one of our favorite restaurants and then for a few drinks on Khao San road so we can all get to know each other over an ice cold beer (or two).Meals :NoneDay 2 : DAY 2 - KANCHANABURI, KAYAKING ON THE RIVER KWAILeaving Bangkok in the morning by private mini bus, we'll get a real taste of Thailand as our first stop is Taling Chan floating market, possibly one of the coolest sites to see around Bangkok. After a bit of sightseeing and shopping, we head on to Kanchanaburi where we take part in another water based activity as we jump on a boat and cruise down the river Kwai exploring your new surroundings. We head to the famous 'Bridge Over the River Kwai' for sunset.Meals :NoneDay 3 : DAY 3 - ERAWAN WATERFALLSJust an hour away from Kanchanaburi sits possibly Thailand's most famous waterfall, and for a country that boast many waterfalls both big and small, that is no small claim. Erawan waterfall has seven tiers with different features and every one of them is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Make sure you bring a towel and your swimming costume because you will undoubtedly want to take a dip in the crystal clear water on some, if not all, of the levels as we trek from one to the next. When we arrive back at our guesthouse you will have a few hours to explore the town or chill by the pool before we catch up in the evening for dinner and a few drinks.Meals :LunchDay 4 : DAY 4 - AYUTTHAYA, ANCIENT RUINS & HISTORYAfter a bit of a lie in we get back on the road to the ancient capital city of Ayutthaya. It's absolutely dripping in history and culture. We'll explore the ancient city ruins by bike, take in the incredible sights of the UNESCO world heritage site and learn a little about the fascinating history of this place, and indeed the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand). After grabbing a bite to eat, we hop onto the night train to our next destination, Chiang Mai. The train is a true Thai experience, everyone gets their own berth, complete with fresh sheets and linen. You can use the time on the train to catch up on sleep or take in the views. We'll arrive nice and early the following day in the beautiful northern city of Chiang Mai.Meals :NoneDay 5 : DAY 5 - CHIANG MAI – TEMPLES & CULTUREAfter we check into our new accommodation, which is ideally situated between the old and new areas of Chiang Mai, you'll have time to chill by the pool, explore your new surroundings, or check out the oldest temple in Chiang Mai (which is right opposite our hotel). After some lunch we jump in a cab up to the most famous temple in Chiang Mai – Wat Pra Maha Doi Sutthep (or just Doi Sutthep for short) – This beautiful temple is situated way up high on the side of a mountain, so the views from the top are just incredible and you get a panoramic view of the whole of Chiang Mai below.Meals :NoneDay 6 : DAYS 6 & 7 - JUNGLE TREKKING & HILL TRIBE HOMESTAYToday we head off to do one of northern Thailand's must-do activities – a jungle trek. During the two-day trek we'll see plenty of cool things, and even spend a night in a hill tribe village home-stay. You'll experience what day to day living is like for the many traditional hill tribes of the region, whose way of life has not changed a lot for generations. During the trek you'll see all kinds of trees, plants and wildlife; we'll do some bamboo rafting in the river and maybe even stop by another waterfall or two to freshen up after some long walks. This does not require a very high level of fitness but is a bit of a challenge, so you will definitely have earned the next beer we crack open when we get back to Chiang Mai!Meals :Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerDay 7 : DAYS 6 & 7 - JUNGLE TREKKING & HILL TRIBE HOMESTAYToday we head off to do one of northern Thailand's must-do activities – a jungle trek. During the two-day trek we'll see plenty of cool things, and even spend a night in a hill tribe village home-stay. You'll experience what day to day living is like for the many traditional hill tribes of the region, whose way of life has not changed a lot for generations.

This does not require a very high level of fitness but is a bit of a challenge, so you will definitely have earned the next beer we crack open when we get back to Chiang Mai!Meals :LunchDay 8 : DAY 8 - ZIP LINE THROUGH THE JUNGLEChiang Mai is often referred to as the adventure capital of Thailand. There are loads of cool activities to do up here, and our absolute favourite of these (and probably the most popular) is ziplining; an amazing experience certain to get the heart racing and adrenaline pumping. Soar from platform to platform through the canopy of the jungle up to 50m above the ground, throw in some rope bridges and a few abseils and you'll experience the jungle in an entirely different (and much faster) way than walking through it at ground level.Meals :LunchDay 9 : DAY 9 - ELEPHANT SANCTUARYToday we will get to know some of the planet's most amazing and majestic creatures. At this sanctuary, all of the elephants are free to roam and are not forced to do anything unnatural. When we arrive we will be given a quick briefing and learn about some of the resident elephants, then we can feed them some sugar cane and banana (which they love) and get to know them a bit before we wander with them down to the river for a swim and bathe. In the afternoon we'll jump in a minibus and follow the mountain roads to the cool and quirky little town of Pai. It's about three hours outside of Chiang Mai and is now a very popular backpacker destination for a number of good reasons. Nice scenery, cool stuff to see and do, very chilled vibe, lovely people, good bars and excellent food. Winning!Meals :LunchDay 10 : DAY 10 - LIFE OF PAI – CAVES, CANYONS & HOT SPRINGSWe'll explore the surrounding areas of Pai today. Starting with Lod Cave, Thailand's biggest cave; we'll either trek through the main chambers, or float through on a bamboo raft (depending on the season and accessibility). We'll then make our way to the hot springs, crystal clear and heated by geothermal activity. Use the clay to give yourself a natural facial, and relax in the perfect temperature water. Finish off at Pai Canyon for some impressive views of the surrounding landscape, as we watch the sunset.Meals :NoneDay 11 : DAY 11 - NICE AS PAI: CHILLING & CIRCUS SKILLSToday is yours to spend as you like; time for some free time. Opt to spend a bit more time in bed in the morning; and then head to Fluid Swimming Pool Bar where most of the backpackers in the area head to socialise, cool down and relax. We'll head over to Pai Circus School afterwards, where you can either learn how to do circus skills such as fire spinning, hula hooping, juggling and slacklining. If that's not your thing, there's an awesome bar and even better vibes to be enjoyed.Meals :LunchDay 12 : DAY 12 - BACK TO CHIANG MAI & COOKING COURSEWe'll head back to Chiang Mai today; where we'll stuck into a cooking class. Thai cuisine is incredible, and it's your turn to learn from the masters how to cook your favourite dishes at a local cooking school. We'll visit a market first, where you'll be taught everything there is about the ingredients they use. The best part of the whole thing, is that you get to eat the feast you've all cooked as a group. It's a very authentic Thai experience, and definitely a way of impressing family and friends at home when you whip up these dishes for them when you're back.Meals :DinnerDay 13 : DAY 13 - CHIANG MAI CANYONChiang Mai's very own Grand Canyon. It's an old excavation site which is now a man-made lagoon that has been turned into an adult playground, great place to spend a day. There are floaties to chill on in the water, paddle boards, tubes; and if you are brave enough, you can have a go at cliff jumping, deep water soloing, or climbing on their new climbing wall. In the evening we head out into town for our last night here.Meals :NoneDay 14 : DAY 14 - TRAVEL TO BANGKOKAfter checking out, you'll have plenty of time to relax, hit the markets, or explore Chiang Mai a little more; before jumping onto the overnight train back to Bangkok.Meals :NoneDay 15 : DAY 15 - EXPLORE BANGKOKTime to explore the country's capital - Bangkok. Zip around the city in tuk tuks, visiting two of Bangkok's prestigious temples - Wat Arun and Wat Pho, where you'll see the giant, gold reclining Buddha. We'll then ditch the tuk tuks for a longtail boat as we see the city from the Chao Phraya River. You'll have the rest of the afternoon to explore your new surroundings, grab a bite to eat from the numerous street vendors, or try your luck at bartering at the markets. In the evening we'll meet for dinner, then head out for drinks on Khao San Road - the backpacker Mecca of the city.Meals :NoneDay 16 : DAY 16 - MIDNIGHT SPECIALTonight we hit the tracks as we travel on an overnight train down south, so indulge yourself in a tradition Thai massage before we board to really relax before our journey, as we swap the hustle and bustle of Bangkok for the tranquil lakes of Khao Sok National Park which is situated in the Surat Thani province of Thailand.Meals :NoneDay 17 : DAY 17 - KHAO SOK FLOATING BUNGALOWSPicture a freshwater lake surrounded by lush rainforest; this is home for the night. We will be staying in the floating bungalows of Khao Sok tonight for a real once-in-a-lifetime experience. Before the sunset, try your hand at some kayaking or chill with a beer in a tube in front of the stunning backdrop of this limestone mountain range. This place has always been one of our personal favourites.Meals :Lunch, DinnerDay 18 : DAY 18 - ARRIVE IN KOH PHANGAN, BOTTLE BEACHWe are up bright and early today to enjoy breakfast on the lake before we head on to Koh Phangan, where we make our way straight to a paradise that is so secluded it's like no where you've seen before. Welcome to Bottle Beach, a true TruTravels favourite! Only accessible by boat, this place is insanely beautiful, and we pretty much get the whole beach to ourselves! Laze around on the beach, have a game of volleyball or head out for a swim before this evening's dinner and cocktails, which we enjoy campfire style right on the sand, just a stone's throw away from our beachfront huts.Meals :BreakfastDay 19 : DAY 19 - MUAY THAI LESSONThis morning you will wake up to the sound of the rolling waves of bottle beach and feel totally chilled. Kayaking, topping up your tan or seeing the view points on a trek, whatever you do just make the most of it, because early afternoon we will be picked up and taken to a local gym to try your hand at Thailand's national sport, Muay Thai boxing. Workout over, it's time to make our way to out awesome accommodation for our final couple of nights.Meals :NoneDay 20 : DAY 20 - ISLAND BOAT TRIPAll aboard the island boat trip! Today we embark on a voyage that takes us all around Koh Phangan. Surrounded by incredible tropical island scenery, there will be plenty of time to stop off for some snorkelling at the coolest hotspots on the island and we will also visit Than Sadet waterfall (seasonal). To top it all off, we have free drinks and food throughout the trip. Tonight is our last hurrah, so after dinner, we hit the local bars to cap off one hell of an adventure. The goodbyes continue back at the beach bars with drinks and dancing as we call close on an amazing time in ThailandMeals :Lunch, DinnerDay 21 : DAY 21 - CHILLED CHECKOUTThere is nothing worse than an early check out, so that's why we enjoy a chilled check out at 11am.

Graham Norton pens 'darkly funny' fiction debut
Hodder & Stoughton has acquired Graham Norton's "darkly funny" fiction debut.
The work "heralds a bold new voice in the fiction market," according to Hodder. Set in a "small town with big secrets", Norton's novel packs "emotional clout", weaving black humour with "brilliantly observed" characters, the publisher said.
Characters incude a cast down policeman, a beautiful and mysterious family of three spinster sisters, "each with their own secrets and sorrows", and the town's gossip. The catalyst for these "half-lived lives and seething rivalries to come to light" is a grim discovery on a building site, revealing the town to have "a much darker, hungrier undertow".
Hodder publisher Hannah Black bought world rights to the as yet untitled novel from Melanie Rockliffe and Dylan Hearn at Troika.
She said: "I'm thrilled to be publishing Graham's first novel and to be launching what we believe will be a major new career for him as a novelist. This is a darkly funny book, Graham is a skilled storyteller, the writing impressively broad and layered. He knows this world and he understands people, their secret passions, and motivations, and that is in part what helps to make this such an accomplished and compelling debut."
Norton said: "Like so many other people I've always wanted to write a novel and I'm both proud and shocked that I have finally done it."
"It's a mixture of mystery and romance set in a part of the world I love," he said. "When I read, I like a book that is driven by the plot and I hope that is what I've done in my own novel. It is very nerve wracking to finally be handing my story over to the world but I can truthfully say I have loved the time I have spent with these characters so now I just hope that readers do as well."

When CLARE STAPLES abandoned the LA party scene to enter rehab and became embroiled in a legal battle with her former lover, TV hypnotist Paul McKenna, she found solace in her childhood passion for horses. Now it's her turn to save them, she tells Caroline Graham
Five years ago, Clare Staples was sunning herself on Simon Cowell's superyacht in the Caribbean. The champagne was on ice, while a small army of staff stood ready to pander to every whim of the music mogul and his glamorous guests on the 196-foot Slipstream as it swished silently through the ocean.
But as Clare stared out over the crystal-clear waters she felt what she now describes as 'an aching, overwhelming loneliness. Something was missing. I was living what many people consider to be "the dream", yet it felt vacuous and superficial.
For Clare, former manager and ex-fiancée of Simon's friend, hypnotist Paul McKenna, the previous two decades had been spent at the very heart of the celebrity world on both sides of the Atlantic.
Her list of friends reads like a Who's Who of celebrity A-listers: David and Victoria Beckham, Mel Gibson, James Corden, Russell Brand, Stephen Fry, Elton John, David Furnish, Gerard Butler, Pamela Anderson, Leona Lewis and Elle Macpherson.
Even once she and Paul ended their relationship (during which they got engaged) after five years, they continued to live together (he referred to her as his 'platonic wife') and she enjoyed romances with superstar Robbie Williams, footballer Sol Campbell and Mission: Impossible II actor Dougray Scott.
But beneath the glittering facade, Clare says she witnessed the 'dark underbelly' of celebrity, which led to her battling drug and alcohol addictions and culminated in a bruising legal fallout with Paul (whose books, including I Can Make You Thin, have earned him the accolade of being Britain's bestselling nonfiction author).
In a case vicious even by Hollywood standards, she accused him of being addicted, at various times, to cocaine, alcohol, prescription pills, pornography and prostitutes – charges he vehemently denied. Paul later described her claims as a 'monstrous betrayal' and 'extortion'.
'The world of celebrity is fun…until it's not,' says Clare, with a half-smile. 'The reason I'm telling my story is that so many people these days seem to be obsessed with fame, but it's a false idol.'
Today, the Clare who greets me at her 9,000-acre ranch in the wilds of Oregon, where she runs a charity rescuing America's native mustang horses, could not be more different from the glossy designer-clad woman who was once a staple of the gossip columns.
At 52 she remains strikingly beautiful, but her designer gowns have been replaced by cheap jeans from the local supply store. Her long blonde hair is cropped shorter ('I had to chop it off because the wind whipped it into such a mess') and pulled back into a rough ponytail. She wears not a scrap of make-up.
The woman who once staggered home from parties at 5am now gets up at sunrise, spends her day in the company of her horses – and has never been happier: 'I used to see dawn a lot from the other side. It's much more fun when it's the first thing you see, not the last.'
Clean and sober thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous, Clare describes her journey as a 'modern-day redemption' tale: 'I feel truly fulfilled now because I am doing something worthwhile. In my previous life I was dieting all the time, so I was always hungry and angry. My values are so different now. I spent the first 50 years of my life collecting possessions, and I plan to spend the next 50 years giving back.
'The rescue horses are amazing. They've been abused in the most horrible ways but they come back from it all and are so willing to trust. They demonstrate a resilience of spirit that can't fail to inspire. It may be a cliché, but my spiritual journey proves the things that make you happy are not things money can buy. I wish I had learnt that lesson earlier in life.'
Born in Cobham, Surrey, UK, to a restaurateur father and teacher mother, Clare was a lonely child who 'escaped' into a fantasy world, often involving imaginary equine friends. She became infatuated with the 1950s television series Champion the Wonder Horse, based on the adventures of a wild mustang stallion: 'Growing up, I used to dream of the US. To me, the mustang represented all that was wild and free about the American West.'
After a brief stint as a model in New York, by 1990 Clare was living in London with her childhood friend, former British number-one tennis player turned TV presenter Annabel Croft. One night, the pair decided on a whim to go to see a young, up-and-coming hypnotist, Paul McKenna.
Paul, a former radio DJ, spotted Clare in the audience and invited her on to the stage. Within days she was his girlfriend, a role that quickly morphed into also being his manager.
Clare contends that she helped turn Paul from a 'circus act' into a sophisticated performer whose hit 1993 TV show The Hypnotic World of Paul McKenna launched a £65 million empire, including a string of self-help books, and attracted celebrity fans who quickly became friends.
Paul went on to help actor David Walliams mentally prepare for his cross-channel swim in 2006, hypnotised The One Show presenter Matt Baker into believing he was Pablo Picasso and helped US talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres quit smoking after hypnotising her on air.
Clare and Paul split in 1995 but remained best friends. In 2007 they moved to Los Angeles from the UK in a bid to crack the US market and their £4.3 million home above the famed Sunset Strip quickly became 'party central' for a host of expat British stars.
Clare met actor Gerard Butler in typical fashion: 'Gerry was at the next table at lunch one day and I started talking to him. He told me he wanted to stop smoking and I said, "Oh, you should see Paul," and that's how our friendship started. He's still my best friend.'
Clare had a headline-grabbing romance with Robbie Williams in 2007 and, with Paul, hosted legendary Sunday barbecues at which Simon Cowell, Stephen Fry and Russell Brand were regulars. But the partying lifestyle gradually took its toll as she descended into drug and alcohol addiction.
It was then that Clare's childhood love of horses came to 'save her'. She and Welsh actor Matthew Rhys were walking their dogs one day when they saw some people riding in a canyon. On a whim, they bought a pair of mustangs, and a celebrity riding group, which included British actors Tim Roth and Nicholas Hoult (who was dating Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence at the time), was formed.
'The horses helped me feel healthy,' Clare explains. 'The partying wasn't fun any more. I went back to what made me happy as a child. Horses were my therapy.'
After years of struggling with addiction she joined a 12-step programme and finally got sober in January 2013. She moved out of the house she shared with Paul and into a ranch in Calabasas in LA county because, she claims, Paul was still partying. 'For me, the Hollywood parties felt superficial. Simon would invite me to go on his yacht and I began turning him down because I wanted to spend time with my horses. No one could understand it. But I'd managed to get sober and the more time I spent around the horses, the healthier I felt.'
Then, in the summer of 2013, Paul reportedly 'fired' her as his manager, and a court case began when she sued, demanding ownership of the £800,000 horse ranch and half of their Hollywood Hills home, plus a share of Paul's future earnings.
In court documents Clare accused him of flying into rages, demanding that a producer be sacked for asking if he was drunk during a segment on Lorraine and being so 'wasted' during a private seminar that the client demanded a refund. Paul refuted her claims, with his lawyers releasing a statement calling her a 'greedy woman' who made 'false allegations' in an attempt to 'extort millions of dollars from him'. The case was settled out of court last year, with Clare coming away with the ranch and around 15 per cent of the Hollywood mansion.
While Clare is reluctant to speak about the case ('I want to focus on the positive and not dwell on the past'), she will say that her love of horses helped her endure the 'nightmare'. Unable to work because of visa issues, she devoted herself to her equine friends: 'I threw myself more and more into helping horses because other aspects of my life were so negative.'
At the height of her legal battle with Paul, Clare learned about the plight of the wild American mustangs. 'In the US there are millions of acres of public land that are managed by the government, which is where the wild mustangs live. The land is used by cattle ranchers and other livestock owners who pay the government to allow them to graze their animals there. They have powerful lobbyists in Washington, as do the mining companies that use the land. The wild mustangs are considered worthless. They are rounded up and put into cramped pens and fed cheap hay,' says Clare.

Hybrid Picking Exercises Lesson
Hybrid Picking Exercises Lesson
Following on from my Hybrid Picking Primer post, I decided to expand on it and put a track together demonstrating a few of my favourite exercises as a way to show how I use the technique in the form of a song. Exercise 1 starts out with an Eric Johnson style static high note (plucked with the middle finger of the right hand) with the lower notes moving around creating a very cool 'pedal note effect'. This was the riff I mentioned in the previous post that I'd originally heard in Eric Johnson's 'Cliffs Of Dover'.
I've then developed this into Exercise 2 which is the same exercise with an 'exit note' bend substituted in for the second half of each segment of the exercise. The reason for this is that this technique does not just have to be used as a non stop riff idea, it also has great application for playing licks in solos. Exercise 2 can also be practised to build speed with this particular technique. I always feel like I 'get' an exercise quicker when I have a small break (in this case the exit bend provides that break, giving the muscles the respite they need to recover from the onslaught of speed and come again for the next repetition, kind of like interval training!)
After a short break of 2 beats (1 bar of 2/4) we launch into Exercise 3. This flips the 'static' note of the exercise from the top to the bottom, so the pick has the job of plucking the pedal note and the right hand middle finger the moving notes. This is a completely different effect to Exercise 1 & 2 and has tremendous potential, I think, in the speed metal genre so any readers of that persuasion please take the exercise, create some music of your own and send me your results via the Contact page.
Finally I have included an exercise which was originally intended as a short lead guitar improvisation to demonstrate how I use Hybrid Picking in my every day playing but turned into another exercise – Exercise 4. It includes hammer ons and pull offs and the use of Hybrid Picking makes this a very dynamic and ear catching riff/lick idea. As I've said using only the pick sometimes can leave a flat dynamic level to a lick and this not only makes the notes easier to play but also adds those spikes that we want to hear in the lick/riff's dynamics.
So readers will get the most out of this series of exercises by taking the basic ideas and expanding them into original songs and improvisations. I've also included the piece's backing track for readers to play along with to keep those Hybrid Picking chops in shape!

Theodore Boone: The Accused by John Grisham
Theodore Boone is a kid. Both of his parents are lawyers. He is really good at making cases too. So when he was framed for robbing a computer hardware store, he has to prove his innocence to the police, his principal and his parents. Meanwhile, vandals are defacing Theo's property and Theo thinks the two are connected.
I listened to this audiobook read by Richard Thomas. I would recommend this book. The reader puts a lot of character into his words. If you enjoy mysteries, this is an intriguing book. I found this book compelling because I like lawyers. I want to be a lawyer when I grow up so reading about the trials in this story helped me learn more about what happens during one. I was only disappointed in the time it took to listen to the whole story. I decided to read the rest myself. I think this book was better than most and has teen appeal.

Done everything to this bike including engine rebuild and straightening the frame in my jig. Replaced several electrical components with standard like for like. Recon dyno as well. Made a new wiring harness. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought an ignition switch would stop current going to the distributor and coil. Turned off it continues to run and my assumption is current from the dyno is not isolated. Switch turned off and turning the light switch to the right does stop it running. Cleaned the contacts of the Lucas regulator which makes no difference. Maybe thats how it works...any advice much appreciated.
After tea and biscuits I thought I should high light the fact that the light switch 31315 shown on Draganfly website was fitted in lieu of the
the broken seven pole switch. This switch has six poles however, the wiring diagram shows seven poles one of which is not used.
All circuits have continuity and receive acceptable voltage.
Thought I'd get this one off my chest as well. There are three wiring diagrams for this model. One major difference relates to the positive earth.
The last diagram indicates shows earth wire from battery to regulator with one earth connection followed by a second earth.
The other two diagrams show a wire from battery to earth and a wire from regulator to the same earth point. Which is best ?

Mr Price and Mr Lawrence have been visiting tutor groups throughout the year, listening to what you like about your school and what you would like to change. Here are some of the things you've said, and what we have done as a result…
You said "We want new, better ways to be rewarded for good behaviour, achievement and effort"
And so we have brought in a new rewards scheme where achievement points are given out by teachers, and these equate to great prizes like Dominos lunches, Film Fridays, Amazon Vouchers and (coming soon) the Executive Lounge! We have an expectation that every teacher gives out points every week and we are also encouraging teachers to ensure KS4 students get as many points as KS3.
You said "we don't use the school planners and the money would be best used elsewhere"
And so we have cancelled planners for most students, whilst still ordering a set for Year 7 to help them settle in and a few extra planners for students in Years 8-11 who still feel they would benefit from having one. We are also developing the website so all the information that would have been in the planners will be easily downloadable from there.
You said "many of the classrooms, corridors and toilets are looking tired"
And so we are starting a redecoration programme with the Maths corridor in term 6, including new paintwork and lighting. Other areas of school will follow in the next academic year. We are also working with local photographers, graphic designers and printers to bring in a new series of attractive display boards and signs around school which will highlight all the great things about our school and update the school's image.
You said "team check had lots of positive benefits but it happened too often when the time could be better spent with tutors"
And so we have changed tutor periods to the morning, limited team check to one major meeting on a Monday and focused on your tutors, who know you best, making sure you are equipped and informed for the day ahead in an improved tutor period.

text: TransLink shared details Monday on "ambitious" transportation projects that Metro Vancouver has been "talking about for years," said CEO Kevin Desmond. But they'll cost more than previously estimated. The upcoming phase of Vancouver's Broadway subway is now estimated to cost $2.83 billion, up from the 2015 estimate of $1.98 billion (which, in today's dollars, would be $2.28 billion). This stretch of Broadway on the city's west side is packed with medical offices and is the region's second-largest centre of jobs after downtown. The upcoming phase of Surrey's at-grade light rail is now estimated to cost $1.65 billion, up from the 2015 estimate of $1.03 billion ($1.24 billion in today's dollars). TransLink blamed high land costs, high construction costs and a weak Canadian dollar for the new price tags. These estimates are for phase two of the 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transportation. The phase is estimated to cost $7.3 billion, and includes more express bus service and planning for future projects, such as rapid transit to UBC, a Surrey-Langley light rail line and a potential Burnaby Mountain gondola. Rapid transit to UBC is a hope of many, including the university, which is exploring a land or financial contribution to the project. The most popular option for rapid transit to UBC is extending the Broadway subway beyond this phase's terminus at Arbutus Street. If that becomes a reality, UBC urban design professor Patrick Condon says the Broadway subway to campus will have a price tag of $6.7 billion dollars. His estimate is based on the $2.83 billion for the 5.1 kilometres of this phase of the subway between VCC-Clark and Arbutus. That $6.7 billion is the current estimate. By the time work on a possible subway to UBC begins, "it'll certainly cost more by then," Condon said. Condon says the subway isn't a good investment because Vancouver's Millennium Line uses cars that are two-thirds the width of a "normal" subway car. The system isn't currently being installed anywhere else in the world, and the only other Canadian version of this system is the Scarborough RT, which is soon to close. (Condon recently wrote about this for The Tyee.) "Just the $800 million increase in costs for the Broadway subway, long anticipated, would be enough for a surface rail all the way from Commercial Drive to UBC," he said. As for the investment in Surrey light rail, Condon is in favour as it'll make push the auto-centric city into one that's more transit-oriented and more walkable, but says "it's seriously crippled by the cost per kilometre." In 2012, Condon and researcher Kathryn Mandell found that the estimated cost for light rail in Vancouver costs three times that of similar projects in the U.S. and Europe. For this phase of transit projects, the federal government is funding $2.01 billion. B.C. is providing $2.55 billion. As for the remaining $2.64 billion of the phase's $7.3-billiion cost estimate, money will come from TransLink and other regional government resources such as borrowing and private financing, a number of taxes including property taxes and increases to transit fares, beginning in 2020. This investment plan is pending approval by TransLink's mayors' council and board of directors in June. If approved, you can expect to ride Surrey's light rail in 2024 and Broadway's subway in 2025.

I'm just going to start off my telling you that this cake is deadly.
If you are a pumpkin lover like me, it is entirely possible to eat the whole pan . . .no joke! Heck, I think even if you aren't a pumpkin lover, this cake could easily convert you.
The pumpkin flavor combined with the yellow cake mix and swirls of cinnamon throughout the cake then topped off with a delicious glaze is oooooh so divine! This cake just melts in your mouth. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I probably would have and could have eaten the pan in its entirety had it not been for the fact that I took about 2/3 of it to the ladies that I visit teach. Lucky them! This will definitely be gracing our dessert table at Thanksgiving.
If you do make this cake, consider yourself warned and be prepared to do an extra 695 jumping jacks.Print

- Total Time: 35 minutes

Philippine Airlines lower profit due to costly jet fuel
Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Tuesday said profits for fiscal year ending March next year is likely to fall by double digits on costlier jet fuel prices, the carrier's biggest expense, local daily the Manila Times reported.
On the sidelines of PAL Holding's stockholders' meeting, Jaime Bau¬tista, PAL president told reporters that the company expects a low double-digit decline in net income this fiscal year, mostly because of higher jet fuel prices.
Fuel accounts for about 35 percent to 40 percent of an airline's operating cost per passenger and is the second-highest expense next to labor.
"We're expecting $1.7 billion in revenue this fiscal year," Bautista said, adding this is an 18-percent growth from last year.
Bautista also said the company expects a net loss in the first half of the year, dragged by poor second-quarter results.
PAL's fiscal year starts April and ends March.
The country's flag carrier posted a 20-percent increase in revenues to P$432.4 million during the current fiscal year ending June.
Bautista said the company is setting aside about $500 million for the acquisition of nine Airbus A320s this year.
He said PAL expects passenger traffic to grow 10 percent to 11 percent this fiscal year.
Last fiscal year, PAL carried 7.6- million passengers.
From April to June, PAL carried 2.16 million passengers on 14,495 flights, up 11.6 percent and 25.6 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2007. Passenger load factor stood at 80 percent.
PAL said it will also increase flights to its US West Coast gateways of Los Angeles and San Francisco late next month, adding up to 1,320 seats weekly on its busy trans-Pacific routes in time for the peak Christmas travel period.
"The trans-Pacific sector is PAL's most important long-haul market and we are infusing extra capacity as well as upgraded service and equipment into it," Bautista said.
"In fact, our first newly refurbished and reconfigured Boeing 747-400, featuring state-of-the-art seats, interiors and amenities, will be deployed on the trans-Pacific route as soon as it rejoins the fleet in a few days," he added.
PAL flies to 43 destinations, 18 domestic and 25 international points. It also serves the US, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and the Middle East routes.
PAL Holdings owns about 84.7 percent of the flag carrier. It earlier acquired six holding companies that collectively own 81.57 percent of PAL. Separately, PAL Holdings also owns 3.1 percent of PAL through a subsidiary, PR Holdings Inc.

Access Bible Studies
Hey Y'all,
I've gotten behind on my blogging, but am hoping to get back on the "WRITE" track soon. It's not that I haven't been writing. I've been busy with writing assignments and am excited to announce for the past year I have been part of a team of writers for Randall House's new downloadable Bible studies. They are now available at www.accessbiblestudies.com If you get a chance, stop over and look at all the wonderful selections. There's some "soul food" there for sure.
Also, just attached a picture of our new grandson Tristan. He's six weeks old now.

Dunstaple or Bedyngham: O Rosa Bella
|Is the Rosa of the title an actual rose, a rose seen as a symbol of romantic interest,
or the name of a young lady?
On a whim, I thought that I'd have a look at music written earlier in the Renaissance, and the name John Dunstable (or Dunstaple) (c 1390–1453) appeared. He composed mostly liturgical music, not really appropriate for the ukulele, so I chose this song, attributed to him. However, Wikipedia states:
"The popular melody O Rosa Bella, once thought to be by Dunstaple, is now attributed to John Bedyngham (or Bedingham)".
Bedyngham was an approximate contemporary of Dunstaple, and died c. 1460. I can find no images of either composer.
O rosa bella is a plaintive lament, appropriately in a minor key, but as was usual ending on the tonic major, the Picardy third. The first 7 bars seem to be an introduction, followed by the song, which starts in common time and ends in 6/4 time. Some of the words are spread over a lot of notes (melismas), but I have made no attempt to indicate them here.
This arrangement is made from a transcription for 3 voices by Elaine Fine here. In the original – you can find performances in various formats on Youtube – the voices interweave, and the first voice is not always the highest. In the arrangement I have indicated the first voice by upward stems, and the others by downward stems.
I have tried to imagine, possibly anachronistically, that the ukulele is a Renaissance (4-string) guitar, and tried to maintain as much of the original as possible in the idiom of the instrument. The music sounds a little strange to my modern ears, but I am not familiar with the music of the period – which, after all, was my reason for making this arrangement.
