Jane Clifford is totally convincing as the gawky girl from the council estate whose life takes on a new meaning when she discovers judo. Meanwhile Michelle (played with gusto and charm by Gillian Tompkins) finishes, afterher meaningless rounds of the local pubs, 'upstick' and unmarried. Is there a deep moral message in all this?

The world of judo might seem like unpromising stuff for a playwright, but John Godber's new comedy Blood, Sweat and Tears is another sporting success for Hull Truck Theatre Company.

The play, inspired by real-life World Judo Champion Karen Briggs, charts the transformation of Louise, coy giggling waitress, into mature and purposeful Black Belt. Further interest is added by Louise's rivalry with a hostile WPC, who fears that Louise and her would-be sexy friend Michelle have

To paraphrase a great song from the last century; if you can't be in the job you love, love the one you're with. I chose my line of work years ago. No I did not fall into it nor was it one of the first jobs I started with. But once I became a consultant and realized I was doing what I loved, I smacked myself hard in the head and with that clap of thunder yelled,
"WTF! I should have done this years ago!"!!!
I'm a simple man with a simple business plan. Pay me when I am working for what I am doing. I.E. I work for an hourly fee. Oh I have tried doing the fixed fee and I understand why a business prefers a known cost. But being at the receiving end of one gone really wrong is how do I put it mildly?
E x c r u c i a t i n g !
It was 1985 and I just got a call from Gloria telling me that her husband and thus my papa was dead. That year I was already working on a fixed bid to make an ICE for the Intel 8088 processor. What I estimated to take but a couple of months actually took me over a year to accomplish. Some of that is due to the shock of having lost a parent. But most of it was due to not being able to anticipate the entire scope of the project. However I continued working on it and delivered what I had promised. Upon completion I resolved to never again work on a fixed bid.
I am a man of my word. Unlike many who would have just given up I stuck to my principles even though it was painful. Yes it was not easy but at least I was doing something that I love doing. What I made that year was way below poverty level but we survived and I learned one very important lesson.
Love will get you through it!
Do not let fear of not making enough money stop you. Jump over the hurdle that you are not qualified or have no experience. Right now work on getting yourself into the job you love! Until then make sure you love the job you've got!

Russian president Vladimir Putin is due to sign the contract for a 2014 grand prix in the resort city Sochi on Thursday.
Russian Prime Minister and former President Vladimir Putin is due to sign the contract for a 2014 grand prix in the resort city Sochi on Thursday.
It emerged last weekend that F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone had agreed terms for the race, to be held on a bespoke circuit, and was only waiting for the agreement to be formally signed.
"When the appropriate person from Russia signs it, I will sign it the next day," he told the Kommersant daily.
The Bloomberg news agency said the contract due to be signed by Putin is for an initial seven years, with an option for a further five grands prix beyond 2020.
Ecclestone said Russia's annual fee would be about $40 million, comparable to what new hosts Singapore and Abu Dhabi pay. Kommersant said the Sochi circuit would cost about $200 million.
In 2014, Sochi - located in Russia's southern federal district - is also due to host the Winter Olympics.
Putin is also backing Russia's bid for the 2018 World Cup, with Sochi earmarked for a stadium.
In March, he announced Russia's support of the country's first formula one driver Vitaly Petrov in the form of Lada backing for the Renault team.

Piezoelectric effect
SAW transponders and sensors are based on the piezoelectric effect: the interdependency between physical deformation and electric voltage. Discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880, the effect means that the deformation of an object creates electric voltage just as the application of voltage to an object deforms said object. Thus, the piezoelectric effect allows the transformation of electric signals into acoustic signals and vice versa, which is why it is deployed in microphones and loudspeakers.
Moreover, the SAW effect enables the construction of bandpass filters for low frequency ranges. Numerous mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets contain ten or more different SAW filters, including broadband and narrow band filters, low-pass and high-pass, pre-filtering and more. This enables the processing of different signals – from mobile phone and LTE signals to WiFi and Bluetooth – in one device.
Der SAW-Effekt ermöglicht zudem die Konstruktion von Bandpassfiltern für niedrige Frequenzbereiche. Zahlreiche Mobilgeräte wie Telefone und Tablets enthalten zehn oder mehr verschiedene SAW-Filter, einschließlich Breitband- und Schmalbandfiltern, Niedrigpass und Hochpass, Vorfiltern und mehr. Diese ermöglichen die Verarbeitung verschiedener Signale, von Telefon- und LTE-Signalen bis hin zu WLAN und Bluetooth, in einem Gerät.

Hello, I'm Carl, the guy behind Torneado & Wood.
In 2015 I uncovered a 1950s Myford ML-8 lathe in my father-in-law's workshop which belonged to my wife's late great Uncle Bert.
Without knowing what wood turning really was, I took a course and from there was hooked. I enjoy designing and creating contemporary pieces using traditional methods.
All of the wood that I use is from a sustainable source here in Devon and I only use the finest quality fixtures and fittings to create my lamps along with a rigorous PAT testing process.
Shop the lamps that I have in stock or if you have an idea, please get in touch.
Got an idea for a commission?

East Perth WA 6004
One new community is bringing a welcome return to the good old days of village life with a development that's been specifically designed to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle and a strong sense of community.
The latest Landstart Joint Venture, The Village at Wellard, draws on the latest thinking in urban design to help create a safer and closer community.
Right at the heart of The Village will be a state-of-the-art train station integrated with a bus terminal. So, by the end of 2006, residents will be just a leisurely thirty-minute train ride from the Perth CBD. In fact, the Village at Wellard also has the unique honour of being the first Transit orientated development in the Southern Corridor.
Until then, The Village is still just a short drive from the coast at Rockingham and the Kwinana Freeway is easily accessible via Mortimer Road.
One very unique feature of The Village at Wellard is the large amount of land devoted to Public Open Space. Some thirty-three hectares have been set aside as landscaped parks, a further seventeen hectares will be dedicated as a Bush Forever site and another ten hectares reserved as a conservation wetland.
The Village at Wellard is already convenient to established shopping, education and community facilities and sites within the development have been earmarked for local infrastructure including schools, medical facilities and a lively café and shopping precinct.
Blocks in the first release of The Village at Wellard sold out in just 48 hours and Stage Two sold out in around a week. So, you'd better be quick if you'd like to get in on the release of Stage Three in late September.
Call The Village at Wellard Sales Office for more information or take the Mortimore Road exit off the Freeway to Wellard Ave, Wellard.

A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an old Indian went up to the director and said, Tomorrow rain. The next day it rained. A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, Tomorrow storm. The next day there was a hailstorm.This Indian is incredible, said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didnt show up for two weeks. Finally the director sent for him. I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow, said the director, and Im depending on you. What will the weather be like?The Indian shrugged his shoulders. Dont know, he said. Radio is broken.

The EU, in light of the 2030 and 2050 energy and climate goals, has adopted an ambitious vision for the energy performance of its buildings among other measures. This is because the building sector still represents about 40% of energy consumption in the EU with the largest cost-effective savings potential. However, in order to meet this vision, the construction sector must be ready to deliver high-performance retrofits and nearly zero energy buildings. As in every field, this would require a number of qualified professionals and building workers.

Its often difficult to chose what kind of service you need.
Prefer to have one online server all the time, this should be used to showcase your work to your clients, host your personal site(s) and some of your cheap clients who do not have a traffic use case but just want a site, we call this the 'homeserver'.
Except for .net developers, homeserver should be a linux machine which you can find on low end box. Try to have at least 512mb ram and prefer 1GB if you want to host multiple types of apps. Everything else on the server is just not that important.
Homeserver is a place where you can also keep backup of your code. Unless you are a photo editor, your code will not go over a GB even so dont worry about space. But do setup a script on your PC to sync your code (git can be helpful to auto-push it on commit). That way, your risk of losing your code is minimized to nearly zero.
In case of predominantly .net developers, you need a windows server as your homeserver with a minimum of 2GB ram. You may also like to use azure or amazon free tier services for some time.
Next you need a playground where you can install and test new tools. the playground does not need to be on all the time, use a cheap service like digitalocean or rackspace etc, which charge hourly. Whenever you feel like upgrading your apache server or doing a complex change, its wise to fire up a playground and play with it , once you accomplish your task, copy the knowledge/ settings that work to your home server destroy the playground server to not incurr any more costs . You can use hourly billed servers for high demanding projects to add more servers for the duration of the project too.
Next , if you need to plan a product for yourself or a big client where the expected usage is high , select a service which is cheap at the target size , not a service which is cheap initially . A service which is cheap at 1GB ram , may be very expensive at a 64GB ram server and vice versa.
calculate appropriate database and ram size, processing power and other specs you think will be needed and then select a host that can fit those needs and is not very expensive at that level at the same time. Reliability is also important so don' t forget to read reviews. Start with a small server on the same host as you do can easily increase the size by a simple reboot as your application grows.
Always prefer VPS over dedicated servers.
In case if you are not that much into server technology and just want a host, go for custom hosts that offer control panels to host your site, these end up being expensive when you have more than one site but useful if you do not want to get into technicalities.
You may also chose a service like firebase or heroku in case if you are building apps with specific server side requirements.

I would like to thank Danielle at Sourcebooks for sending me Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One by Sharon Lathan, which is now available in select Target stores and will be released everywhere else in March.
Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a scintillating novel that will have readers blushing right alongside Elizabeth Darcy as she and her husband embark upon the rest of their lives as a married couple. Mrs. Darcy gets acclimated to life as Mistress of Pemberley, while her husband relishes his wife's attentions and delights in helping her fit into his world without losing the passionate and independent woman he loves.
"Darcy attacked the superb provisions with relish and Elizabeth was not too far behind. They had fun with the process: feeding each other morsels, licking and sucking each other's fingers, kissing honey-smeared lips. Eventually even Darcy's appetite was quenched, and with a satisfied sigh, he reclined on an enormous pillow. Elizabeth leaned against his bent knee and gazed dreamily into the fire. Neither spoke." (Page 37)
This novel provides an look at the intimacy this classic couple shares behind closed doors and away from society's prying eyes. Readers will begin to feel like voyeurs as they become drawn into Pemberley's world and the coupling of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy. In the background hovers the ominous presence of Lady Catherine and the rumors she spread about Elizabeth Darcy and her future, detrimental affect on Pemberley and the Darcy name. The word play between these two characters continues and is a delight. It's fantastic to see Col. Fitzwilliam return as well and inject his wit as well.
"Darcy greeted his cousin heartily. 'Darcy, old man, you are positively beaming! Married life surely agrees with you,' Col. Fitzwilliam decreed.
'More than I could possibly verbalize, cousin. Someday you must give up your reckless bachelor ways and discover the joys of matrimony.'
Richard shuddered. 'Not too hasty, Darcy, not too hasty. Mrs. Darcy, if I may be so bold, you are radiant. Shocked I am, to tell the truth,' he said, with a sly glance at Darcy. 'Personally, I thought you would be weary of this old codger by now!'" (Page 147)
Readers will find this romance novel stays true to the original Austen characters and develops their relationship more fully within the bounds of matrimony and society's conventions. It is good to see Mr. Darcy soften with the help of his wife, learning to laugh and interact with others with less rigidity, and it is equally as fascinating to see Mrs. Darcy garner maturity in his presence, while continuing to blossom as a woman and wife. One drawback for me in this novel was the absence of conflict until the very end of the novel and some readers may find the sexual tensions and actions of these beloved characters too intimate at times. Overall, this is a good romance and a great way to spend an afternoon or two in wedded bliss with Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy.
About the Author:
Sharon is a married, RN, specializing in neonatal intensive care. She is a native Californian who married her very own Mr. Darcy. Two Shall Become One evolved after Lathan watched Pride & Prejudice on the big screen, starring Kiera Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen.

ALS: diseased motor neurons change energy supply
Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot disease, gradually lose the use of their muscles following the death of the motor neurons which innervate them. Teams from Bordeaux have joined forces to reveal metabolic mechanisms that enable the motor neurons to temporarily resist their decline. These mechanisms explain certain paradoxical characteristics of the disease and open up new avenues for therapeutic research.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease, which manifests as gradual muscle paralysis. This paralysis is caused by the death of motor neurons which - from the brain to the spinal chord and from the spinal chord to the muscles - transmit nerve impulses. The pathophysiological mechanisms which trigger and maintain neuron degeneration are still poorly understood. The study of a genetic form of the disease, related to SOD1 gene mutation, has nevertheless opened up a research avenue: the protein synthesized from this mutated gene does not fold correctly. Instead, it binds to the mitochondria - the energy centers of the cells - causing their dysfunction from the embryonic stage.
A global approach
"Many studies suggest that the mitochondria are implicated not just in ALS but in several neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as many forms of cancer, emphasizes Rodrigue Rossignol*. To find out more, we combined the study of mitochondrial function with an overall analysis of the metabolic pathways in order to better identify the mechanisms affected in this disease. We conducted this research on mouse motor neurons presenting the SOD1 mutation as well as skin cells (fibroblasts) from patients in whom the origin of ALS is unknown. The idea underlying this exploratory approach was that, if alterations are found in both models, they could correspond to central mechanisms in the disease."
Published in the March issue of Scientific Reports, the research conducted by the team of Rodrigue Rossignol, in collaboration with that of Gwendal Le Masson** and the reference center for ALS at the hospital of Bordeaux provides a deeper understanding of the biochemical mechanisms at play in ALS. The researchers showed that mitochondrial structure is abnormal in SOD1 mouse motor neurons and that this abnormality is accompanied by reduced energy efficiency: the amount of energy produced by the cells decreases for an equivalent oxygen consumption. This situation increases motor neuron energy demand, thereby bringing into play bioenergetic survival strategies.
Adaptation to delay motor neuron death
Through close analysis of SOD1 mouse motor neurons, the team showed that these cells very markedly increase their energy production from fatty acids. A metabolic pathway which is more efficient than that which uses glucose. Oxidation of the fatty acids then becomes crucial in order to keep the motor neuron alive. If this process is blocked, the motor neuron dies, whereas the effect on a healthy motor neuron would be minimal.
The downside is that this mode of energy production leads to the synthesis of substances – ketone bodies – which are toxic to the cell when present in excess. However, yet again, the motor neuron adapts by inhibiting the production pathway of the ketone bodies in favor of an alternative pathway, leading to the synthesis of cholesterol. "We obtain a consistent picture, with a diseased motor neuron which not just uses fatty acids in an attempt to compensate reduced mitochondrial energy production efficiency, but also modifies the transformation of an otherwise lethal end product", summarizes Rodrigue Rossignol.
This interpretation is backed by recent studies showing the presence of cholesterol deposits in the motor neurons of ALS patients. It would also explain why the hypermetabolism observed in some patients is associated (paradoxically) with decreased energy production. "The results of our research call into question the nutritional strategies sometimes envisaged to increase energy production – such as the supply of ketone bodies – which would impede mitochondrial adaptation efforts."
Following this research, the enzyme MTP (Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein; HADHA/B), implicated in fatty acid oxidation and whose production increased in both models used by the researchers, appears as a potential biomarker of the disease. However, before it is used for the early diagnosis or monitoring of the condition, its utility first needs to be validated in a larger number of patients. In parallel, these findings open up many research avenues, whether in terms of identifying molecules able to help the mitochondria or in terms of exploring other cell functions that these researchers have also found to be altered in this disease.

The Color Code of Awareness
Condition white, you are relaxed and unaware of what is going on around you. The doors and windows are locked and you know you are safe in your home.
Condition yellow DOES NOT equate with paranoia or any other irrational fear of persons or places. Instead, you simply have moved your alertness to a level of attention that will prevent you from being totally surprised by the actions of another person.
Condition orange, you have identified something of interest that may or may not prove to be a threat.
Until you determine the true nature of whatever has piqued your interest, your "radar" is narrowed to concentrate on the possible threat and will remain so focused until you are satisfied no threat exists.

Incels (involuntary celibate) and their dystopian culture.
Incels is a social sub-culture who are misogynists who feel deeply wronged. "…men who call themselves "incels," and the broader internet sphere of men who cluster their identities around having been done wrong by women, are not interested in mere sexual companionship. Their loneliness, angst, and the feeling of lost power are a pitiable cover story to a problem with white male subcultures that reaches back several years and into some of the darkest corners of the internet. What began as unchecked toxic culture in fringe websites and forums has … Continue reading

PPA says Pario to be next Arunachal CM, Khandu camp says have majority….reports Asian Lite News
The political situation in Arunachal Pradesh saw a new twist on Friday with the ruling PPA saying its MLA will support Takam Pario as the next Chief Minister while the government said Pema Khandu still had a majority and would continue in the post.
"There is no threat to Pema Khandu Government as he has the support of 49 MLAs in the 60 member house, including 12 BJP and 2 Independents," said government spokesman Bamang Felix, hours after the border northeastern state was again racked by uncertainty after Khandu, his deputy Chowna Mein and five others were suspended by the party on Friday for alleged anti-party activities.
"The decision to suspend Khandu and others was not taken collectively, as none of the of the PPA legislators were informed about the December 20 party executive meeting where it was decided," he said.
Felix also questioned the legality and constitutionality of the suspension and the constitution of a one member committee by People's Party of Arunachal Pradesh (PPA) President Kahfa Bengia to probe the allegations.
Earlier, Bengiathe held a meeting of legislature party on Friday and decided to support Pario as the next Chief Minister.
"Being members of PPA, which itself is an ally of the BJP, all these suspended legislators were trying to join the BJP. These MLAs have a business mindset," Bengiathe told IANS adding that "Pario is most likely to be elected as the next CM".
Following the suspension of Khandu along with six others, the central BJP also attacked the PPA's decisions, stating it has created uncalled for disturbance in a smoothly running PPA-BJP government.
"PPA president's whimsical n highly suspect action of suspending CM Arunachal Pema Khandu created uncalled for disturbance in a smoothly running PPA-BJP govt. PPA leadership stands exposed as almost all MLAs reposing faith in him. BJP supports Pema government," said BJP leader Ram Madhav in a tweet.
Khandu – who had taken over as the CM from Nabam Tuki in July – had defected from the Congress to the PPA on September 16 along with 42 other legislators. The PPA is a constituent of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led North East Democratic Alliance.

Welcoming the distinguished gathering, Dr. Harish Kumar stated that India is geared up to become a Superpower in future through Education. He shared that the definition of quality is ever changing and dynamic, therefore, it is imperative for teacher educators to internalize changes that are taking place rapidly in the teaching profession. He stressed that teacher educators need to think globally and act locally and opined that they need for them to put their heads together and adapt to their changing roles in the wake of liberalization and globalization. Sharing his views, Prof. D. R. Goel- NCERT stressed that education and quality are strongly connected. Dwelling on the current state of education, he stated that today's children are programmed in such a way that they lack skill, scale and speed, which indeed are the mandates of education outlined by the Government of India. He suggested that Institutions of Higher Education in India need to be innovative and the ultimate aim of education is to develop universal human beings who could initiate healthy relationship with all the entities existing on earth in all forms and places. He stressed that Technology and Media exist to facilitate our living in best possible manner and if we don't know how to use them properly then, the fault lies within us.

She suggested to include a mandatory capsule of practical visits to special schools in the teacher training curriculum so that the Teacher Educators can understand the problems faced by special children since all of them need to be handled in a different manner with utmost compassion and understanding.

Achille De Martino
I am friendly and helpful to our customers and to my colleagues. My passion for the sea has accompanied me since I was a child, the same passion that I try to convey to our guests and to the people I meet during their holidays on board our prestigious boats. My priority is to satisfy, please and reward those who choose us, gratifying with all of myself those who help us grow as a company. I want to be honest and I want you to know that our job is not a real job but it is a pleasure, in fact working well for me means reaching my goals or to entertain our guests making the time they invested with us a happy precious memory.
Agostino Savarese
I am currently very happy to collaborate for one of the most renowned Yacht Charter companies in Sorrento and I hope soon in Europe. I started my career thanks to the loving teachings of my grandfather Giovanni, who passed his respect and love for the sea and its seabed on me, for this reason I was born as a diver, I grew up with him in the seaside village of Marina Piccola, the current Port of Sorrento. My grandfather was one of the first men of the Sorrento navy to accompany tourists who, many years ago, already wanted to reach Capri, at the time they went by rowboats. His stories fascinated me so much and I believed that when I grew up I would certainly have chosen to start the activity that I carry out today with passion: accompanying our guests along the magnificent route on the Italian sea! So, I became an authorized commander, and I can tell you that the calm and serenity that the sea can offer us is a unique feeling of freedom. Every time I go out to sea, I feel free in the waves and the best thing for me is to be able to convey to those who are on board with me the same sensations as I will pass the rudder in my hands teaching them to drive.
Rocco Tommaso Reyes
I am 34 years old and I was born in Tenerife in the Canary Islands (Spain) always surrounded by the ocean, which is why I am a sea lover. I have worked in the Italian merchant navy since 2008, obtaining the rank of First Deck Officer on Large Gross Ferries and I am an International Maritime Organization certified. I have often sailed on international routes. In addition to Italian, I speak English and Spanish. My passion for the sea led me to meet shipowner friends like Robbie and Luigi who, as me, have the passion and love for the sea and yachts. We immediately became charter partners, and I am lucky of being part, as owner, of the famous Sorrento Luxury Life Style group. I am a very cheerful and responsible person, very attentive to the well-being of the people who live around me. I promise you that I will do my best to make you live an unforgettable experience, showing you the beauties of our coasts and the most crystalline waters, so I am sure you will bring a beautiful memory of us within you.
Roberto Satariano
Hi I'm Roberto Satariano and I'm 25 years old. I was born in Sorrento, a wonderful holiday resort in South Italy. I am captain on the yacht CHILÙ Tornado 45 Express. I work for this prestigious company directed by the brilliant young businessman Roberto Lauro and a splendid team of colleagues who love to be at the service of our customers with great care and attention. Robbie helped me grow in this environment, teaching me the tricks of the trade and letting me discover the many positive aspects of this job. I've been captain for 3 years. I started as an official student on large merchant ships when I was 19 and experienced in the ocean. I chose this job because I love the marine environment and I really like having the opportunity to get to know and relate to people who are always different and who, like me, love having fun to be happy and with whom I can share unforgettable days. I like to know different ethnicities because I believe you can appreciate so much from cultures other than your own. I am a curious, simple and a very friendly person. I love to travel and maintain good relationships with people all over the world, so also with you who are reading my story, we are waiting for you!
