This book tells the fascinating story of strange geometric objects that have achieved some fame outside of maths and even inspired a Woody Allen joke: they're called Calabi-Yau manifolds. When Plus recently interviewed one of its authors he was adamant that maths should be brought to the masses without dumbing down or glossing over the tricky parts. And this is just what this books sets out to achieve.
Statistics are emotive — to some they are just lies, to others perplexing, some fear their power to reduce us all to a single number, while yet others (politicians and journalists especially) like to endow them with qualities like "damning" or "deathly". So what are (or should it be "is"?) statistics all about? And what do we need to be wary of? This little comic-style book (from the Introducing series) provides some friendly answers in 176 pages and a handy A6 format.
The sense of going on a journey with a brilliant and entertaining companion, of feeling like you are never sure why the conversation is veering in this new direction, yet being confident that there is a good reason for it, is the strongest sense which I got from this lovely new book by Marcus du Sautoy.

Although it is generally accepted that Configuration Identification is a basic element of Configuration Management (CM), I don't agree that is should be. Why not?
The core of CM is control of configurations. To know what configurations we are controlling, we need to identify them. To avoid confusing one configuration for another, we need to uniquely identify them. Equal configurations should not be identified differently. As you see, CM is interested in unique identification, but how the identification looks like is not relevant, as long is it is a uniquely. Of course we need naming conventions, but how it looks like depends on the requirements for humans, automation or (CM) tools.
As such configuration identification is a secondary requirement for CM, not a primary element. The identification process does not even need to be part of the CM discipline, in which case CM is a user of identifiers, just like most other people in a project, but with a different purpose than other people.
Identification and naming conventions
An important implication is that when using a version control tool or a CM tool – I assume you understand the difference, but for now that's irrelevant – the unique identification may be left to the tool. This often results in unreadable object identifiers (e.g. 23987sg2b.38h830okdh34.8827481) but this is sufficient for CM. Even if you do CM by hand, you may just keep a list of sequential numbers.
In practice it is more convenient to have human-readable identifiers such as file names or document titles (or document identifiers) and/or to have identifiers that ease automation (scripting). Also it is often practical to put semantic (meta-)information in the identifier, such as a file type or a component identification. Because identification is not primary requirement for CM, the definition of naming conventions does not have to be a primary responsibility of CM people. You may document it in the configuration management plan (CMP), you may assist in the definition of a naming convention, your may be involved in auditing the compliance to the naming convention and if you are responsible for automation/scripting you may have their own naming requirements, but ultimately you shouldn't really care (as long as identification is unique).
Identification of everything?
Another reason for not considering identification as a basic element of CM is that not every identification should be the responsibility of CM. In principle, only the configurations that are under configuration control need to be identified for CM – note the different between "for CM" and "by CM". Some identifiers are an attribute value without identifying a configuration. Attribute values are for example enumerated values that are used on forms or documents, database identifiers (e.g. PRCR numbers) or just names (e.g. person names, product family names). In practice the distinction between an attribute value and a configuration is not always clear.
So what?
The reason that this is important is that CM is often held responsible for naming conventions and for identification. Commercial names are the responsibility of Marketing or Product Management. Identification of a certain technology used in the product is the responsibility of Engineering. Identification of production lots is a responsibility of Logistics. Not everything that has to do with identification should be considered a CM responsibility. In fact, CM is not really interested in identification as long as configurations can be controlled properly.

Hi Melea,
sorry didn't notice your message previously. Don't regularly log on to the site, just infrequently browse...so things will pass me by!
I've watched the odd Media Watch when I'm home, but nothing apparently happened there. At the very least, would hope you'd get some sort of public apology, for this shock, horror, nonsense story, but probably hoping for too much from these purveyors of total tripe.

How to Use the Downy Ball
We've sent an email to your friend. Thanks for sharing our fresh content!
The Downy Ball® is a great way to add Downy® to your laundry during the rinse cycle without needing to babysit the washer. Keep in mind that the Downy Ball is only recommended for use in non-HE top-loading washing machines, not in front loaders or top-loading HE machines.
First, measure the correct dosage of Downy for your size load of laundry: small, medium, or large. Push the top of the Downy Ball down, so that you can pour the Downy in. Once you've added the Downy, pull the ring tight to close the lid.
Now, just toss the Downy Ball into the washing machine! During the rinse cycle, the spinning action of the washer will open the ball and release the Downy Fabric Conditioner.

Things got ugly: egos bruised and hearts battered. You and your lady have declared your relationship over…but is it really? So many couples do the on-again / off-again dance that your heartrending breakup may be no more than a genuine fakeup. Here's how to tell if it's for real:
The Friends
Breakup: Women typically don't hold back when talking to friends about their relationships – particularly once they're over. If a rumour about your stuffed animal fetish surfaces, it's over.
Fakeup: If you run into her girlfriends and you don't get the stink eye – or better, they tell you how much they miss you – you're probably on a break, not broken.
The Sex
Breakup: You're not having it. Or you are, but she cries afterwards.
Fakeup: You're doing it frequently – and it's better than ever. You agree – while cuddling – that you should really stop sleeping together.
The Stalking
Breakup: She's defriended you on Facebook and changed all her passwords – not that you would ever break into her e-mail account.
Fakeup: You're still together according to her Facebook status – and her daily comments on your photos also seem to indicate as much.
The Scene
Breakup: She's absent at social events she knows you'll attend. Or she contacts you in advance to divvy up parties hosted by mutual friends.
Fakeup: She's everywhere you are – even events she wouldn't normally attend. If she wants to see you, she'll find you. And she'll probably look hot.

12 Terrific Things About Riverside Food Tours
My birthday is coming up (June 10!) and this year it falls on a Saturday, so I'm trying to think of a big fun outing I can do with a bunch of friends! I've been doing a lot of research on different tours that we could do, and one that kept popping up was Riverside Food Tours. It has awesome ratings, and people rave about it on all the sites after they do it! There were a few things that stuck out as making them different from the rest. So, since I already did the research for myself I decided to share on the blog in case someone else out there is looking and I can save them some time! I'll be sure to update after we take a tour, but for now, here's the list of 12 things that sealed the deal on Riverside Food Tours as being the best one to go with!
The Best Way To Taste The Queen City Is On A Streetcar Food Tour
Tours are great for:
- Entertaining out-of-towners
- Locals who don't know where cool stuff is
- People who enjoy letting someone else drive their afternoon for once
And this may be just me, but tours are even better when you don't have to drive at all. Thankfully, there's a tour that hungry, anti-car people like myself will surely enjoy.
Introducing: the Cincinnati Streetcar Food Tour.
Riverside Food Tours: A Delicious Stroll Through History
There's something to be said for playing tourist in your own town, even when you've lived in that town your entire life. Recently, my husband and I were given the opportunity to explore MainStrasse Village in Covington, but this wasn't just any old walking tour – oh no. This tour was a culinary stroll through the charming village of MainStrasse, as well as through history. Read More...

Harrison, Ohio residents, Mike and Laura Noyes, came up with the idea of giving food tours in the Greater Cincinnati area after taking their first food tour in Newport, Rhode Island this past fall.
"We loved the idea of traveling to a new city and touring the neighborhood while trying out local restaurants at the same time. So off we went to Chicago to learn the food tour business." Laura Noyes said. Read More...

Lance Thomas, who is dealing with a sore right hip, will likely not play in another game this season as the Knicks continue their march to the offseason.
Thomas, 28, has played in 46 games this season, averaging 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in just over 21 minutes per game.
He was limited to 59 games last season and has never played more than 62 games during his six-year career, which has been split between New Orleans and the Knicks.
Thomas signed a four-year deal worth $27.5 million with the Knicks prior to this season.
Keith Schlosser, SNY.TV Twitter | Archive
He may garner more attention for his absence, but Derrick Rose isn't the only Knick with a nagging injury that figures to shake his momentum heading into the offseason. After missing his seventh straight game with a sore right hip, another appearance by Lance Thomas this season looks to be in doubt.
Of course, Thomas doesn't carry the weight that a potential star player like Rose does. Still, the latest absence in a turbulent season for the forward is a cause for concern. Thomas is the idealistic glue guy whose long range prowess, defensive awareness, and veteran know-how has steadied New York's bench for parts of the last three seasons. He proved himself to be reliable, but the void that his multiple absences has created has gone on alter the rhythm of the second unit.
Should he not play again, Thomas' season total will stand at 46 games, 13 fewer than last season. That's a big problem. Entering this campaign, the Knicks had hopes of being competitive. After rewarding Thomas' hustle and loyalty with $27 million, it's clear the team viewed him as vital to that goal. Paying a player that type of pretty penny, only to appear in 46 games, makes it an incredibly underwhelming investment.
Thomas has never appeared in more than 59 games in a season, and his health was the main key entering this campaign. Last season, he fizzled out in similar fashion with an injury that too turned out to be season-ending. Unfortunately, he hasn't fulfilled such a goal.
Thomas' body doesn't appear used to the grind of an 82-game season because he's yet to scratch the surface of playing in close to as many games. Should the Knicks not look to trade Thomas and he returns next season, his team needs more. The versatility he brings to the table is so valuable to this team.
Not providing such prowess in a sufficient manner just turns out to be a tease. Not to mention, it also stands to disrupt any rhythm New York actually develops with him in the lineup. The team can't afford to have him serve as such a liability.

This question landed with such precise timing. A day where my best friend, a brother to me for most of my life, moved abroad to start a new chapter with his girlfriend. At the same time, I was questioning whether my girlfriend loved me. All culminating for me think about my late mother. Not life destroying, but enough for my mind to be restless, not able to sleep.
I'd also just returned from holiday. A holiday, loosely described, as it was a cold-water surf trip to the tip of Scotland and Orkney Islands in December. The trip was with three other blokes, all crammed into man made bunks built into a standard size van. Bunks so small you could not roll onto your side to sleep, which was unfortunate because daylight hours that time of the year were so limited, meaning we were in the bunks longer than hoped. That being said, the trip was one of the more luxurious ones of my recent trips. I chose Scotland with the aim of doing something I loved in an environment I sought; to surf on a perfect wave with nobody else around but your friends in a unspoiled setting. A place that is shaped by weather, not man, inhabited by more seals than people.
So as I lay in bed thinking of my mother, girlfriend and best friend, as well as replaying that recent trip, it was no shock that I was thinking about what makes me appreciate life. The only shock was an email that very day from my friend Carmen, who I haven't spoken to for a while, asking me if I would write an article on "What makes me appreciate life". Now, here I am, downstairs in my boxers typing (something I am not used to doing, as you can probably tell) my interpretation to the question.
Learning and growing
I know for sure that being in a certain environment, a special place, makes me appreciate life. Also discovering what our bodies' capabilities are physically in different environments is what makes me feel alive. My recent years have been just that. However more recently I believe that a person can have an influence and make you appreciate living.
Since my mother passed, I have found myself becoming one of those people that likes undertaking a physical challenge. I will not say adventure or adventurer, as I despise that phrase, but I must admit a challenge was something I wanted and I soon became addicted to. I have done various stupid things. I rowed a boat around Great Britain and I have also completed the world's longest Cross Country Skiing race in Finland, all with no real prior training. It was then no wonder that my body went on strike to remind me I have just the one. As a result, I have chronic tendon issues in my ankle and some other minor issues elsewhere.
Has that changed my outlook on what makes me appreciate life? Kind of, yes. My opinion is what I now believe to have matured. I no longer seek a record-breaking challenge or a challenge that has the pressure of the public following it. I now have a more peripheral understanding of what living is to me.
My important places
Places are very important to me. I go away every weekend to either somewhere new or somewhere that awakens my senses. I seek:
- Being outdoors in the wild in a place also ruled by a species that is not your own.
- Being in an environment greater than yourself
- Feeling tiny in an ocean
- Being bashed by the power of oceans waves, cradled by a gentle swell, spat at by the salty spray
- Feeling tiny in the mountains
- Running off the beaten path over rocky terrain, through muddy puddles, cutting yourself on spiky brambles and being overshadowed by giant trees
- Skiing off-piste creating fresh tracks and getting stuck waist high snow
- Navigating foreign places, carving your own path, tackling strong tides and surviving all types of weather
- Mother Nature is everything around us and it's great. Great because of its enormity and beauty. When being in her mercy it makes what we're doing feel truly great. Great mountains, great trees and great oceans have witnessed everything far before we showed up, and the ever-changing weather has more power than we can harness. It is only fair then, we appreciate being amongst such greatness.
I also love getting lost in a foreign place and indulging in their culture. As well as going to new places, I like to try new things. I love food. I love an atmosphere. Just a short weekend away meeting new people, tasting tapas, slurping sangria and chatting loudly in a bustling courtyard in old town in Basque Country after a day of surfing ticked a few boxes last year.
Ultimately then I still like to be active in these places. I have recently found a sport that ticks a lot of my boxes.
My true happy place is being salty. I have sailed all my life and I still find it fascinating to travel from one destination to the next via wind. However it is not sailing that has recently excited me. Being in the water, not on it, is what I really love. I also like limiting 'kit'. Kit being equipment. By limiting it, you are exposed to the environment. To then harness nature's gift and feel your heart pump with the adrenaline of what you're hoping to achieve makes me feel alive and definitely appreciate living.
Surfing is just that. Just you on a simple board, riding a wave loaded with power. A single wave travels from storms happening all the way across the other side of the world, and travels the entire ocean before finally breaking across a reef or beach near you. I find that pretty amazing, as well as very challenging. Every wave is different, which makes learning (which I most definitely am and forever will be) a personal challenge. Challenging myself is a large part of living – you may have already worked that out about me.
A new kind of physical activity
My link then to why I also believe certain people have changed my perspective on life is because of another new activity. Not one filled with adrenalin. An activity that not only challenges the body physically but one that has opened my mind. Yoga.
I'm in the early days of discovering yoga, originally undertaken to improve my flexibility and strengthen my ankle problems. However, it has given me so much more. Being a personal trainer I have a great appreciation for an instructor that is both knowledgeable and captivating. Since starting yoga with Faye my appreciation for my body has doubled, and my thoughts towards others and myself has significantly deepened.
Yoga has made me appreciate life by understanding the type of person that makes me appreciate life and, without stating the obvious, they are people who also appreciate it. People who;
- aren't afraid to show love
- listen and show interest
- want to forever learn more and forever explore new places
- understand nothing is perfect but will also seek the most in everything they do
- respect themselves and everyone and everything around them
- want to help better other people's lives and the ecosystem around them
- aren't materialistic and appreciate the finer things in life like lighting a candle, making something with your own hands, growing your own plants, cooking for friends and family, and learning new skills.
Personal training has given me a fairly decent understanding about how the body works and how to train to better it. There is a lot of research out there to read up on and as a result a lot of it is now becoming common knowledge. What now fascinates me is how little the majority of society know about the brain and how best to train your mind to better your mental health. Something I haven't even began to dive into.
All I know, it through 2016 I want to continue to be salty, to take more bashings from the ocean. I want to continually explore new places, meet new people and be more wild. I aim to fix my injuries, strengthen my body and now, as importantly, learn more about the mind and myself. I'd like to learn a language or how to play an instrument. I will light more candles and share my life with friends and the people I have described. All because "currently" this is what living is for me and I love it.

Whilst there I took hundreds of photos and made lots of drawings. Some of these I used to make digital images, but my favourite images are some photographs I took in the back lot around the huge blue screen. This is massive and stands behind the outdoor water tank where anything from Bond to Wolfman is likely to be filmed. When it is not used the tank more closely ressembles a car park with a waist high barrier around it - and, of course, the blue screen. When the ground is wet reflections of this screen give the whole area a blue cast and it makes for some very interesting images.

Pinewood Residency
Earlier this year I visited Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Bucks to observe and record my impressions of the Studios. Here are some favourite images. I used some discarded 35mm film (from the film Virtual Sexuality) to make some work that plays with the format - using what is intended to produce the moving image for its own aesthetic properties.

Latest Images
The idea of this blog is to complement my website http://www.lyndacornwell.co.uk/. I intend to post new images to keep my site current.
So far I've not been doing a particularly good job since it is over 6 months since I created this blog and only now am I adding to it. Keeping current is such hard work!
Anyway here are my thoughts...
Since finishing my Masters I've been focusing on making drawings, mostly abstract, using reflective and translucent materials. This is something I started a while ago but broke off to pursue another path. I am still interested in light - using light in my work, photographing unusual aspects of light. Most of my work is materials led at the moment - playing with graphite, aluminium powder, and mixing images. But at times it starts with a strong image that I represent in more traditional means. I often use digital images as a start point and sometimes as the end point too.

Reading: Mark 5: 1-20
Everything we do has costs and benefits. In each decision we make, we weigh the pros and cons, coming up with a little balance sheet. For example, it's late. If we order pizza, we don't have to cook and there's only a little clean up afterwards. There's a bonus, too, in that it comes to us. On the other hand, we have to spend the money, we're not eating food we already have, and we always eat too much pizza when we order it.
Even decisions that seem automatic have costs and benefits. Do I go to the bathroom right now or wait five minutes to finish this task? In all situations, we weigh costs and benefits and then make a decision. That's what the people did in today's gospel story. Jesus gets into a boat and he crosses over to the "country of the Gerasenes". This means that he is expanded his ministry into Gentile territory. How do we know that? The presence of pigs is a big clue. This isn't one or two pigs- it's 2000- the livelihood (and food) of most of the village. This village also has a town crazy man, who has been plagued by demons for years. When the original readers of Mark's gospel heard this story, they would have picked up on several different things we need explained. A legion is a group of six thousand (6,000) Roman soldiers. Not only, then, does the man have a large number of demons, but the story is constructed to have the hearers think about how Rome has "possessed" their land. They would also recall how they, like the Gerasene demoniac, had hoped the Messiah would bring an exorcism. However, in this story, the people weigh the costs and benefits of having Jesus in town and the cost is too great.
Pigs (livelihood)
Healed Man
6000 demons gone
Community order
God in their midst
What does it cost the Gerasenes to have Jesus in their territory? First, it cost their livelihood. Pigs can swim, but apparently not demon-possessed pigs. It's like Jesus
shut down the mill- this affects the whole town- not just the man who came for healing. This is very high cost. Secondly, Jesus brings change. He takes the livelihood of the town and heals the crazy man, he upsets the order of things and how they've been handled for years. Lastly, Jesus is messing with their stability. They have an understanding of God, through either their own practices or what Jewish leaders tell them. They probably have a town hierarchy. Jesus rocks the boat in a big way.
On the plus side, they do have a healed man who can be restored to family and friends, if they're accepting of him. They are rid of 6,000 demons. (Though, it's arguable that they demons were really only bothering one person.) They have God in their midst. (But do they know that?) Finally, again, Jesus is bringing change. Change to the status quo can be a huge benefit, if people are able to accept it. The people of the town weighed this situation in the balance and they were afraid. The benefits did not outweigh the costs that they could see, so they ran Jesus out of town.
That's okay, though, because Mark is a sixteen chapter gospel and this is only the start of chapter five. After this, people will totally be able to perceive what Jesus has to offer and they will laud him as Emmanuel, God-with-us…
Wait, what? That's not how it will happen?
Well, what about today?
God in our midst
Physical resources
Your life is not your own
We too have to weigh the costs and benefits of our life in faith. Believing in God, trusting in Jesus, and relying on the Spirit all take their tolls. The first cost is the greatest. It takes time to be in relationship, whether deep or superficial. It takes time to pray, to listen, to help, to praise, to wrestle. Sometimes we just want to sleep in or do it tomorrow or wait until the kids leave home.
In faithful living, we sacrifice certainty. While we continue to believe in scientific discovery, expanding human knowledge, and deeper intellectual understanding, we also come to know that there are just some unknowns, some mysteries that will always be beyond human comprehension. We don't understand how Jesus is present in communion or how God acts in baptism, we only know that these things have been promised to us and we go on in faith.
In faith, we circle the reality that we are not in control. Each of us has to remind ourselves of this daily, just as we are reminded of the One who is. In remembering that all we have is a gift, we spend our physical resources. The costs of money, energy, goods, and services are part of what living faithfully entails. Each expenditure reminds us, again, that our life is not our own.
These huge costs are weighed against the benefit of relationships- with our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer and with other people. Faith brings us into unexpected quarters and finds us with unplanned allies. We are encouraged, enticed, and sometimes forced to interact and commune with those whom God loves, even if we do not know how that's possible. In these relationships, we encounter Emmanuel, God-with-us. Jesus promises to meet us in people all around us and so he shows up, invited and unexpected.
Just like for the Gerasenes, Jesus brings change. Salvation is an event and a process and we who are being saved are also being changed, becoming more fully the people God intends us to be. In the life of faith, we are participants in this change through obedience, repentance, and boldness in love. We are brought more fully into the light no darkness can overcome. We are consoled in our knowledge of grace, our belief in the life of the world to come, and God's work in Jesus Christ.
We constantly weigh these costs and benefits. Do the benefits outweigh the costs? We all want to say, "Amen! Hallelujah!" Yet, we know plenty of times when we were unable to perceive the benefits or unable to bear the costs.
There is one more being in this scenario. One other who weighs costs and benefits and makes decisions.
Relationship with all creation
God's desire is for relationship with the entirety of creation, to bring justice and peace to the world that God has created and loved. What does it cost God to have that relationship? It costs everything.
We cannot know the mind of God, but if we consider the actions of which we know…
The outpouring of the Trinity into the creation
The frustration we see in the histories and in the prophets
The hope with which God comes into our world as Jesus the Christ
The triumph over the power of death and the grave
The continuous expectation that creation will respond to grace and mercy
How is this any less than everything?
We look at our cost and benefit list and it seems difficult. And it is. That's true. We are only able to incur the costs because we have already received the benefits. This is the knowledge we have that the Gerasenes did not, because we are Easter people- already rejoicing in resurrection.
We are able to pay the costs because we have been loved first, received grace first, been born out of a desire and call for relationship. We are able to love because we have first been loved… by the One who is Love.
The thing is, God has decided repeatedly… on your behalf, on mine, for the sake of the world… the cost is worth it. Every. Time.

What should I do if my preschooler's vomiting?
Throwing up is usually no cause for alarm. But in some cases it can signal a serious problem. Here's how to tell when your preschooler's vomiting needs immediate medical attention — and how to deal with vomiting that doesn't require a doctor's care.
Call 911 immediately if:
- Your preschooler's having trouble breathing.
- He shows signs of severe dehydration, like sunken eyes, cold, splotchy hands and feet, excessive sleepiness, fussiness, or lightheadedness, dizziness, or delirium.
Take your child to the emergency room if:
- He has severe abdominal pain. Have your child point to the part of his tummy that hurts. Pain that is centered around the navel and then moves to the lower right side of the abdomen, for example, could signal appendicitis.
- His vomit contains bile (a green substance) or blood that resembles dark coffee grounds. The doctor will probably want to see a sample of the vomit if it contains blood or bile, so as distasteful as it is, you should try to save some in a plastic baggie. Green bile can indicate that the intestines are blocked, a condition that needs immediate attention.
- He has a swollen, tender abdomen. This could indicate a buildup of fluid or gas, a blocked intestine, a hernia, or some other digestive tract problem. Blockages are uncommon but serious.
- He vomits more than once after suffering a head injury, which may indicate a concussion.
- He has a stiff neck, which is the hallmark sign of meningitis.
Call your child's doctor if:
- Your child's been vomiting for more than 24 hours. For some illnesses, this is perfectly normal, but check with the doctor to be sure.
- Your child shows signs of becoming dehydrated, including decreased urination, dry lips and mouth, crying without tears, lethargy, and dark yellow urine.
- The vomit contains blood. A little blood in the vomit is usually nothing to worry about, as the force of vomiting can cause tiny tears in the blood vessels lining the esophagus. Your child's vomit may also be tinged with red if he's swallowed blood from a cut in his mouth or a nosebleed within the last six hours. But call the doctor if your preschooler continues to have blood in his vomit or the amount increases. As mentioned above, if the blood resembles dark coffee grounds, go to the emergency room right away.
- He has pain in the upper right side of the abdomen along with fatigue and jaundice (a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes). These might signal that your child has hepatitis.
- He regularly throws up when exposed to certain people or places. If your child vomits whenever he gets to preschool, for example, it could be a sign of stress. See what his doctor thinks (though you don't need to call her after-hours for this one!).
Call a poison control center if:
- You suspect your preschooler has swallowed something toxic. Call the American Association of Poison Control Center's national emergency hotline at (800) 222-1222 or your local poison control center immediately. If you can identify what he's swallowed — for example, you find an empty medicine bottle — tell the medical experts what it is, and they'll give you exact instructions for taking care of your child.
Experts used to tell parents to keep either syrup of ipecac or activated charcoal on hand for poisoning emergencies. But that's no longer the case: Ipecac is not an effective treatment for poisoning — most emergency rooms don't even use it anymore — and activated charcoal hasn't been proven a safe or effective remedy to give children at home.
If you have ipecac in your home, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that you dispose of it immediately and safely. (Never throw away any medications in a garbage can that your child can get into.)
How can I keep my preschooler from getting dehydrated?
Dehydration can be a serious problem for young children, and if your preschooler is vomiting (or has a fever or diarrhea), he's losing precious fluids.
Don't force your preschooler to drink anything when he's still vomiting frequently (every five or ten minutes). But after his tummy's been calm for half an hour or so, offer him slow, frequent sips of clear liquid, like water or broth — say 1 teaspoon (5 cc) every 10 minutes for a couple of hours. Then — if he tolerates that well — increase the amount to 2 teaspoons (10 cc) every 5 minutes. Continue to progress slowly until the vomiting eases up.
Juices sometimes make matters worse (especially if your child also has diarrhea). But if juice is the only liquid your child will drink, don't increase the amount of juice he normally drinks in a day, but dilute it half and half with water. (So if he's drinking 3 or 4 ounces of juice in a day, you might dilute this to 6 or 8 ounces of liquid.) He might also enjoy ice pops or slushies made from electrolyte solutions or diluted juices. Don't give him carbonated drinks, though, as they're terrible for his teeth and won't help settle his stomach.
When should I start feeding him solids again?
Once your preschooler's vomiting diminishes or stops and his appetite returns, you can slowly reintroduce healthful foods. The AAP recommends that a child recovering from stomach troubles resume a normal diet as soon as possible: Offer him complex carbohydrates (like breads, cereals, and rice), lean meats, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables, but steer clear of fatty foods.
This differs from the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) that doctors used to prescribe. Studies show that reintroducing a standard diet can actually shorten recovery time by half a day because it restores essential nutrients the body needs to fight infection. If your preschooler misses a few days' worth of good nutrition because his bug kills his appetite, don't worry. Just make sure you keep him hydrated.
By the way, doctors vary on how they feel about milk consumption after vomiting; you might want to discuss this with your preschooler's doctor.
What about medications?
Don't give your child any prescription or over-the-counter anti-nausea medication unless his doctor recommends it.
And never give medications containing aspirin to help relieve your child's symptoms. Aspirin can make a child susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal illness.
Are there any safe home remedies?
If your preschooler will drink it, you can brew up a tummy-friendly tea such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger. To prevent scalding, serve it warm, not hot.
Why is my child vomiting?
Children vomit for a number of reasons, and while it's always disconcerting, it's usually not serious. (For guidance on when to see a doctor, see the first section of this article.) You'll want to find out what's causing it, though, both to confirm that he's okay and to make him more comfortable. If your child vomits once and that's the end of it, maybe he just ate too much at his last meal. If he continues to vomit, possible causes include:
Viral or bacterial infection
A stomach flu or other intestinal illness is the most likely culprit. If a virus or bacteria have infected your preschooler's stomach lining or intestines, he may also have diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and fever. The vomiting usually stops within 12 to 24 hours.
Other infections
Congestion or a respiratory infection can also lead to vomiting, especially while your child's coughing. Strep throat, a urinary tract infection, and even an ear infection can sometimes cause nausea and vomiting. Throwing up can also be a symptom of serious illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis, appendicitis, and, in rare cases, Reye's syndrome.
Motion sickness
Some children tend to get motion sickness, especially if they're sitting so low in the backseat that they can't see out the window. Experts believe that motion sickness happens when there's a disconnect between what your preschooler sees and what he senses with the motion-sensitive parts of his body, such as his inner ears and some nerves.
Poisonous substance
Your preschooler could be vomiting if he's swallowed a toxic substance like a drug, plant, medicine, or chemical. Or he may have gotten food poisoning from contaminated food or water. He may have diarrhea instead of or in addition to vomiting.
Can I do anything to prevent vomiting?
Yes, several strategies are worth trying:
- If your child has a lot of phlegm and mucus from a respiratory infection, you can encourage him to blow his nose. Be patient, as it might take him a while to master the technique!
- To help minimize motion sickness, schedule plenty of stops during your trips to give your preschooler a chance to get some fresh air and calm his tummy. Give him a small snack before the trip — having something in his stomach will help. And offer plenty of fluids to keep him hydrated; otherwise he may get headachy or even dizzy or weak, which will only make him more miserable.
You can give your child certain medications for motion sickness, but you'll want to know how they affect him before starting out on a trip. They may cause drowsiness or dry mouth and nose (keep those fluids handy), but sometimes they have the opposite effect and cause irritability and hyperactivity. If you want to give one a try, ask your preschooler's doctor for advice. Motion sickness patches are not for use on children under age 12, so don't cut one in half to deliver a smaller dose to your preschooler.

Flawless by NADIA mineral makeup ~ Review, Swatches and Makeup Look
|Flawless by NADIA mineral makeup
|Flawless by NADIA mineral foundation, bronzer and blush
|Mineral foundation: "NATURAL, bronzer: "Bronze Berry", blush: "Pink Spice"
|Flawless by NADIA mineral eyeshadows "Aqua" and "Peacock"
|Flawless by NADIA Lipstick "Nude Lips"
|Flawless by NADIA retractable Blush Brush
"Bronzed Berry" and "Pink Spice" used in this look, check detailed post here.
|"Bronze Berry" and "Pink Spice" used
- Mineral Foundation "NATURAL": The swatch was "too" white-ish for my liking, but as I applied it with my Kabuki brush on my moisturised skin, it adapted to my skin tone, and really justified its name "natural". The coverage was Light/medium. It may accentuate dry patches so exfoliate and moisturise your skin very well. I think it will serve me well in Summers.
- Mineral Bronzer "BROZED BERRY": First thing first, I loved the name of this product (yes I am a name freak and mostly purchase products for name-sake). This is a LOVE, such a shimmery bronzer that really gives a dusky and gold shine which we may relate to historical beauties like Cleopatra. I love using it whenever I want to look as I am out of the Gold-kiln. NOTE: a little goes a long way.
- Mineral Blush "PINK SPICE": Here again the name won me, what a name "pink-spice". it is really a spicey pink with allot of finely milled shimmer, that gives a healthy glow along the pink flush of a blush.
- Mineral Eye shadows "AQUA" and "PEACOCK": These are very pigmented loose eye shadows, a little goes a long-long way. it has a finely milled shimmer in it. Aqua is a beautiful Blues with all that aquatic tone, Peacosk is a rich green with peacock blue hues in it.
- Mineral Lipstick "NUDE LIPS": This is a real nude shade, but has a tone of brown, which doesn't make my face look all washed out, so I like it. Goes well along any smoky eye makeup look.
- Retractable Blush Brush: This is a beautiful brush, in a steel/metallic body. Due to long transit from UK to Pakistan it came broken from the joint where the inner body was glued, but that was not a problem I glued it again and its working fine. The bristles are very soft. And this is only Travel-friendly product from all.
NOTE: This post may contain a PR post/product, or won in a fair giveaway, my review and opinion is 100% honest with my readers. SMB does not intend to tempt the readers to purchase any product, this is just sharing of personal experience for guideline and to provide an idea about the product and it's use.

In a remote part of the UK, where nothing ever happens, a group of teenagers share a safe house for LGBT+ young people.
While their shared home welcomes difference, it can be tricky for self-appointed group leader Birdie to keep the peace. The group must decide how they want to commemorate an attack that happened to LGBT+ people, in a country far away. How do you take to the streets and protest if you're not ready to tell the world who you are? If you're invisible, does your voice still count? A play about love, commemoration and protest.
The Masque Youth Theatre Senior Group are performing this new play as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival 2018. MYT will be performing the play again at the Royal and Derngate on Sunday May 6th.
Please note this play is rated 14+ and does contain language that some people may find offensive.

Fishmongers are shouting outside the massive city walls of Galle, showing off their shiny tunas and smaller tropical fish to potential buyers. Not far away the old city gate leads into a long, dark tunnel directly into the past:
The town square beyond, surrounded by arcaded buildings and leafy trees, is more colonial than anything we have seen in Sri Lanka.
A sign on one of the buildings reads "Court of Justice" and at first we suppose that there will be an exhibition inside about the Dutch or British legal system in the colonies – but then we notice the people standing outside, many of them visibly nervous or agitated. All the windows of the old building are wide open, because of the heat, but another notice warns us not to take any photos of the courtroom and not to linger near the windows. The court is still in use and looks unchanged from olden days.
Galle, the old fortified harbour town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its mix of colonial and local traditions, becauce it has retained all the walls and ramparts of its bastion. In an hour or so, you can easily walk around the Old Town on those walls (unless you have a sprained foot, like Natascha had) and have a nice view out onto the sea, and in onto the cute little houses of the Old Town.
Near the – quite photogenic – lighthouse, there's a white building looking for all the world like a church. Only on a second look we recognise the half-moon symbols and the Arabic inscription Jamia Al-Khairat. The Muslim community of Galle had expressly employed an Italian architect for the building.
The alleys and streets of Galle's Old Town, though not traffic-free, are quite picturesque and pedestrian. There are tiny guesthouses and cafés tucked away in backyards, and tastefully decorated restaurants catering for the many foreign tourists – and also a considerable number of middle-class Sri Lankan visitors. Shops selling Sri Lankan tea or interior decoration are vying for attention. In Galle the shop-owners seem to be getting something right about European tastes. No, we don't need any batik table mats and elephant-shaped napkin rings, but they look appealing. Only in the fourth or fifth shop selling a very similar range of goods we realize that we know several chains of interior shops in Germany selling about the same items, at perhaps lower prices. But well, if you buy them in Sri Lanka, they also have a souvenir value.
We would have loved to spend a night in one of the tasteful boutique hotels, but as we found them too expensive (from around 80 Euro per night), we visited Galle only as a day trip from Mirissa and in the end found that seven hours were quite enough to experience the city.

Helpful Hints for Building Your Own Rain Barrel
Food grade drums that were used to carry juices, olives, pickles, etc. are usually used as the barrel. Local recycling centers and bottling companies are good places to find food grade drums.
Avoid using rain water that has been collected from asphalt roofing, redwood, cedar or treated wood shingles on food-producing gardens. The aforementioned surfaces may leach toxic material when wet.
Make sure you thoroughly clean out the food grade drum before using it. To clean the barrel, rinse the inside of the barrel with a mixture of 1/8 cup of bleach and 5 gallons of water to wash away food or juice remnants. An environmentally friendly way to clean the barrel is use 2 tsp. of castile soap and 2 tsp. of vinegar or lemon juice for every gallon of water used.

3. Single click on the person you want to remove from the Circle. If you click again, it will deselect the person. So, make sure the clicked person is highlighted with a highlight color.
4. After selecting the person to remove, click on the link "Remove" from the top right area of the view. This will remove the person from your Circle.
The removal will not take effect until you click "Save" in the Circle editing window. When you remove a person from the Circle, he will not be removed from your contacts. You can add him back anytime.
Removing from the Circles is very different from Blocking a person. Blocking will restrict the person's access to your Google+ page.

There's no denying that informing a candidate that their application has been unsuccessful is among the least pleasant aspects of the recruitment process.
However, a well-crafted communication piece can also consolidate your brand presence, help foster professional development and pave the way towards potential opportunities down the track.
Here are five tips for creating a job rejection letter that goes the extra mile.
1. Make it personal
Treating your candidate as an individual rather than an anonymous applicant is critical to keeping your relationship intact.
Correctly spelling their name and maintaining accurate contact information bolsters your professionalism and acts as marker of respect.
Remember that your candidate may be a great fit for another job, so you want to end on a good note.
2. Get to the point
When it comes to writing an effective job rejection letter, it's important to manage expectations wisely.
State that they have been unsuccessful in the first paragraph and follow up with a compelling reason for their rejection.
Most importantly, remember that transparency trumps dishonesty at all costs.
3. Focus on the positive
A candidate rejection letter can also serve as a powerful tool for professional development.
Spend the second paragraph offering some constructive criticism and don't forget to summarise positive attributes and emphasise the skills that most impressed you.
Carefully considered feedback is invaluable to the applicant – it can help them cultivate a competitive edge.
4. Lay the foundations for a future relationship
Perhaps your recruitment drive was met with a multitude of flawless applications and filling the position saw you spoilt for choice. In this case, ask the applicant's permission to keep their details and CV on file.
If you take this step, you forge the kind of candidate relationship that can pay mutual dividends down the track.
5. Finish on a gracious note
To leave a positive impression of your business, it's vital to end your letter on a gracious note.
Make sure you thank the candidate for taking the time to meet for an interview and remind them that you'll be in contact if a suitable position materialises in the future.
Don't forget to wish them luck with their quest for a suitable job. A small dose of positive reinforcement can have a big impact when it comes to cementing their image of your business.
Make your job rejection letter as professional as possible
A job rejection letter can be a critical tool for building relationships with future employees and forging a reputation as a recruiter that goes above and beyond.
Reprioritising the role of rejection letters can work wonders for professional credibility and candidate trust.
What are your tips for penning professional job rejection letters?

News: Note Allergie has it's own facebook page!
Dutch duo Note Allergie has it's own facebook page now. Visit the new site by clicking here. Please do click on the "like" button if you like what you hear, and check out our new hit: "Nao de maon en truuk". Also posted on youtube, and in the Video section of this website.
Note Allergie was formed in 2013 by two musicians from Swalmen (the Netherlands). The name "Note Allergie" refers to being allergic to nuts (wich we both happen to be). The Dutch word for "nuts" is also used in music as music notes. Thus, in this case, we are not nuts about sheetmusic.
Last year a couple of good friends surprised us with our own merchandise, being: "Note Allergie sjawls". They were first showed to us during a gig and we were left completely flabbergasted! This whole thing is just heart-warming you know, and we are proud to say that these sjawls have sold out comlpetely. Don't worry, we're planning on having a second batch produced. We will let you know when they are available again!
At the moment we are working on our first album, with self penned and played material. Some songs will be Carnival related, some other tunes may not be. Our reportoire is ever growing and improving. All songs are sung in Limburg-Dialect. All recording sessions are held at the professional Studio Double Double U. So I'm sending a special thanks out to Toine and Wesley, the studio's operators.
We are happy to do what we're doing, and very busy writing stuff. We can't wait to finally release the album, we will keep you updated!

If you stepped into a store that sold video games around the turn of the millennium, you may have heard of Sega's underdog console swan song: the Dreamcast. Released on 9.9.99, its acclaimed lineup and innovative hardware gave players their first glimpse of gaming trends that would dominate the following decades… yet it failed to capture more than a fraction of marketshare from its rival, Sony's PlayStation 2.
Let's take a look back at the Dreamcast: What it was, which trends it foresaw, and how its failure predicted our evolving expectations of devices.

This page aims to help you remove Pixellitomedia "Virus". These Pixellitomedia "Virus" removal instructions work for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well as every version of Macintosh and Windows.
The purpose of the following paragraphs is to inform you about all the usual effects and characteristics that browser hijackers may have. The focus, though, is on one particular hijacker, Pixellitomedia, which is fully capable of introducing substantial changes to your browser, be it Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc., by altering its settings, such as the homepage and default search engine and redirecting your searches to various promotional pages. This behavior can be very intrusive and we understand your desire to rid yourself of the endless stream of ads that also comes with this type of programs.
What else is typical of Pixellitomedia "Virus"?
Maybe the most important detail about this program that many users might misunderstand is that Pixellitomedia.com is not malicious. This hijacker does NOT self-replicate or install itself on your machine. What's more, it cannot copy and use any of your credentials, personal details, banking information, etc. Also, you shouldn't expect it to program your PC to spy on your own online activities or encrypt or blackmail you for the access to any data on your computer. Of course, some of its additional features may make users and experts believe it could be shady. For example, its functions might involve conducting research into your most recent online activities. Based on such monitoring of your interests, Pixellitomedia can later be able to determine what products you might be interested in and show only such ads on your monitor. Another possible effect that this hijacker may have is the sometimes annoying redirecting to various websites that it could cause. Such redirects might be feared by users because of the danger of possibly being sent to virus-containing web pages.
Where can Pixellitomedia normally be found?
The probable sources of browser hijackers may range from spam emails to torrents and shareware-spreading web pages. However, we can distinguish its most usual method of distribution. It is inside the so-called program bundles. When it comes to computing, a bundle represents a mixture of diverse software products that get spread together as one, often for free. Such combos may be very tempting because they might include interesting original programs that you may find useful. The secret to getting only the software you are interested in and to keeping your PC safe from hijackers and other ad-generating software is to master the process of installing new programs. Briefly speaking, no matter what you venture into integrating into your machine, your installation wizard will probably offer you two possible installation options – a Quick or Default one and a Customized or Advanced one. The feature that should be used is by all means the advanced or the custom installation option. Only such a detailed feature will contain the info about a particular program bundle and you will be able to choose what stays and what is left behind from the installation process.
What does it take to remove Pixellitomedia?
Luckily, browser hijackers like Pixellitomedia.com are not very hard to be removed. You can complete such an uninstallation process by following the advice from our removal guide that you will see at the end of this page. For your comfort and safety it has been successfully tested and is designed to deal with most of the Pixellitomedia's infections. Depending on your particular case and level of computer literacy, it is possible that you may require some assistance from our removal tool. With its help you will be able to remove the invasive software with just one click and the tool will take care of everything for you.
What are you supposed to do in order to prevent future hijacker infections?
The first and the most essential step towards cyber safety is the aforementioned installation practice. If you master that strategy, you will hardly be disturbed by any Adware, hijackers and malware like Ransomware. The second piece of advice that we want to give you is to make sure that you have the best possible anti-virus program on the market. Spending a little more money on a good anti-malware tool will save you more funds later (that might go for consulting experts and dealing with malicious programs). Thirdly, when it comes to hijackers, your online habits are crucial. For good protection please avoid any locations on the web that you personally distrust or that give you a bad feeling for whatever reason. Last but not least, update your entire PC on a regular basis so that it can successfully cope with vulnerabilities and other issues.
|Browser Hijacker
|Danger Level
|Medium (nowhere near threats like Ransomware, but still a security risk)
|Non-webpage-hosted ads, redirections and changes in the settings of your search engine.
|Distribution Method
|Varying from software bundles to spam and torrents.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
Remember to leave us a comment if you run into any trouble!

Was the aerial stunt real, or computer-generated, in the opening sequence of "The Dark Knight Rises"?
It was real, for the most part. Director Christopher Nolan doesn't like fake action scenes.
So, how in the heck did they film that already unforgettable six-minute scene?
This is a question for which the complete answer is probably wrapped up in that catch-all explanation: The Magic of Hollywood.
But some things are known:
The sequence was filmed in Scotland. The dark "CIA turboprop" took off from Inverness airport. The sequence was filmed over the Cairngorm Mountains of the Scottish Highlands. The lonely Cairngorms have been described as "Britain's highest mountain range – incredibly cold, incessantly windy and one of the harshest environments" in the British Isles. Perfect, I suppose, for littering aircraft debris without hitting anyone or anything on the ground.
The stunt reportedly took three days to film in early July 2011.
Airborne, the CIA turboprop is shown being followed by a huge white cargo plane. This is a Lockheed C130 Hercules, of the type used by the United States military. The lumbering C130 an ideal vehicle for a stunt such as this, because its stall speed is as low as 96.5 knots (111 m.p.h.); so, a camera crew in a helicopter was easily able to match the speeds of the planes and record the exterior action.
For the action going on inside the CIA plane, a simulator was built at studios in Cardington, England; the director could rotate, shake and twist the fuselage while the actors inside tumbled around – almost as if they were weightless.
When the C130 is above the CIA aircraft, its rear cargo ramp is lowered and four stuntmen drop down from it, tethered to cables.
At some point here – during a sequence of quick edits – the CIA plane is replaced by a glider mockup that had been towed aloft from the Cairngorm Glider Club in nearby Feshie.
The stuntmen climb around on the glider. It tips, and the wings blow off (negative aerdynamics). A small pyrotechnic device pops the tail off.
The idea is to get the villain Bane off the CIA plane, with the help of the stuntmen on cables, before the cables are released. The remains of the glider are then cut loose and sent crashing to the ground – making it look like all onboard were killed.
The stuntmen with Bane and a kidnapped scientist (did you "get" the bit about pumping his DNA in another victim, to make it look like the scientist was killed in the crash?) then are supposedly pulled back up into the C130.
During practice takes, the stuntmen then parachuted to the ground. Look closely in the production stills and you can see the stuntmen are all wearing parachutes. But in the final take, the director said they were able to be drawn back up into the C130 with no problem.
The stunt looks pretty seamless until you pick it apart and study how it was edited.
Filmmakers did a job good of sowing "disinformation" to keep the press and onlookers confused about what was going on, during the shooting. Check out this report about the filming that ran in the News of the World, June 27, 2011, supposedly describing what the stunt would consist of:
"The movie crew desperately want to film this. It's a key section of the film. Batman is on board a plane that is hurtling to the ground. The script says he takes control of it and lands it on the road while it's on fire. People are going to love it. It's a tremendous challenge."
Ha! Bat-guano!

We've got both the first look at Marvel's The Defenders and a release date to see New York's newest Dream Team in action.
The Defenders brings together all of the Netflix Marvel heroes who have had solo series so far Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist (Danny Rand). Netflix released a short teaser trailer that was quickly revealed to be hiding the premiere date for the show.
Check out that teaser below.
Something else from the trailer is a hidden link to the New York Bulletin which is the newspaper that one Karen Page works for. Definitely worth checking out as it is filled with short clips to set the scene for the new show.
The Defenders will release all 8 episodes in full on August 18, 2017.

Words of wisdom that speak to me….
I find that every day I see new words and phrases that inspire me and speak to me. I have ALWAYS been into motivational quotes, inspiring words, and I believe that using words is the best way we can inspire action in ourselves and in others.
I have SO MANY OF THESE examples (visit my Pinterest account to see my folders of them). But currently, I am focusing on a lot of self affirmations and the like. Also, song lyrics speak to me, so a lot of my faves are found in songs.
I'd say I am not going to choose a few to highlight but rather just suggest that anyone reading this go and find their own words of wisdom. It doesn't have to be motivational. Or uplifting. Or positive (some of the best things aren't!). But really find those quotes and words that inspire action in you and speak to your soul. I could list about 2087 of them here, but I would rather someone think on words of wisdom that speak to them. Feel free to share yours in the comments, if you are so inclined.
Words are our most powerful tool. And I'm madly in love with them.

BBQ Kit Whole30 Approved
Two (2) 12oz Bottles of Classic BBQ
Two (2) 12oz Bottles of Mustard BBQ
A kit is like a tiny team. No member is nonessential. From the toolbox to the sewing basket, each little comrade must be handy to be, um, handy. So it is for The New Primals Noble Made BBQ kit, a four-deep bench that no tasty teammate warms for long. Classic BBQ may consider himself the dependable starter, with his versatile tang that scores big from Taco Tuesday to Meatloaf Monday. But when Mustard BBQ gets called to the crockpot or handles a sweet potato, she puts the Carolina coyness rumors to rest. Their colors and flavors are distinct, but their matching Noble Made uniform says no one is too big for their britches. Or your brisket. And being Whole30-Approved, each is in it for the greater good of healthy goodness. They stand ready for craving recruitment, this band of BBQ brothers/squad of saucy sisters.
