a bit about me
After nearly 30 years of living in the South of England I recently moved back to my home county of North Yorkshire to the fishing village of Staithes.
As I approached 50 I increasingly knew it was time to make a big change in my life and I was drawn to the big skies, vast beauty and rugged coastline of the North York Moors and, in particular, the magic and timelessness of Staithes. It is a place to simply sit and be. To gain perspective. A place to rest and recuperate and it is from my home here that I run Staithes Retreats.
Initially training as a reflexologist in 1997 I worked in various spas and clinics in London and the south east for many years. Having been fascinated by Chinese medicine and benefiting from acupuncture treatment and Chinese herbs over the years, I graduated from the London College of Traditional Acupuncture in 2011 and combine, where necessary, both acupuncture and reflexology in my treatments. I also practice Indian Head massage.
I have experience of working with a wide range of conditions and find acupuncture treatment can be particularly effective in reducing pain, lowering stress, improving fertility and boosting your sense of wellbeing. Reflexology is a wonderful way to relax and is beneficial for rebalancing the mind, body & spirit. I am particularly interested in understanding the root cause of illness and use diet and lifestyle assessment where appropriate.
I look forward to welcoming you to Staithes!

This week we've been finding out which solids are soluble before going on to investigate which sugar is the most soluble. Which of these do you think dissolved the quickest: white granulated sugar, brown Demerara sugar, icing sugar or a white sugar cube?
Our homework is to investigate whether water temperature affects dissolving.

Gerhardt 1969 Indy car-by-car histories
Gerhardt built four dramatically wedge-shaped cars for Grant King's STP-backed team, Gerhardt's own team, Gordon Johncock and Myron Caves' team.
This wedge design was very similar in layout and appearance to the Lotus 56, the 1968 car that was then the height of fashion and already been copied by both Granatelli and the Vel's Parnelli team, and had inspired the new Mongoose, the new Eisert and even to some extent the new Eagle. The 1969 wedge Gerhardt was narrower than the Lotus and had outboard front suspension, like the recent "1968½" Gerhardts, instead of the inboard springs of the Lotus, but otherwise followed its very square cross-section and straight wedge shape. The first two cars to be delivered were Gerhardt's own house car, and Grant King's STP-backed version. A third car appeared still disassembled for Gordon Johncock at the Indy 500 but this was returned, and Myron Caves' car was already in progress but was not completed until July. The Gerhardt house car ran with an exaggerated long pointed nose but this was tempered in later seasons.
If you can add anything to these histories, please contact Allen Brown (email@example.com).
'the Gerhardt house car'
A new wedge design built for Don Gerhardt as the #8 Thermo King 'house car' for Gary Bettenhausen in 1969. It first raced at Phoenix in March, where it was one of five new cars present, and Bettenhausen qualified it for the Indy 500, but retired early. Believed to be Bettenhausen's car all season, but he may have used the older 1968 car, which was a backup at the Indy 500, at short track events or road races. The last appearance of this car appears to have been at Riverside in December 1969, where it did not start. The history of this car after 1969 is not clear but there is a good chance that it is the wedge car that Bettenhausen used in the early races of 1970, then his backup car at the 1970 Indy 500, and then his backup car thereafter. It may even be the car he used briefly in 1972 after wrecking his primary car at Milwaukee in June 1972. If so, and we're well into speculation now, it could well be the wedge Gerhardt that was converted to run in Formula A for Bob Krajcirik (Chico, CA) in 1975 or 1976. Krajcirik's car went to Phil Rendahl, and was acquired from him by Greg Lindstrom in the early 1990s. During restoration was found to have fuel bladders dated 1969, which supports the history outlined above but there could well be other options.
Driven by: Gary Bettenhausen. First race: Phoenix International Raceway (R1), 30 Mar 1969. Total of 10 recorded races.
'the Art Pollard/STP car'
A Gerhardt wedge built for Grant King's STP-backed team for the 1969 season and raced by Art Pollard at the start of the season as the #20 STP Oil Treatment entry. Became the #57 at the Indy 500 where it was raced by Carl Williams. Won at Milwaukee in June in Pollard's hands. Fitted with a Plymouth stock block engine for road races and won again at Dover Downs in August. Retained for 1970 as part of Pollard's team and raced by Pollard as the #10 at Phoenix and by Greg Weld as the #93 at the Indy 500. Sold by Pollard later in the year to Roy 'Shorty' Emrich (Manchester, PA) who fitted a Chevrolet engine and ran it for local sprint car star Bobby Allen at Phoenix in November 1970. Emrich also ran the car a few times in 1971, and it appeared at Trenton in April 1972 for Dick Tobias, but failed to start . Later restored by Bill Smith and reunited with the Plymouth engine in the late 1980s when Smith persuaded Vince Granatelli to part with it. Was on display at the Eddie Evans Car Museum (Bedford, Indiana) around 2000. On display at the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, NE in 2012. Still in the Museum of American Speed in September 2017.
Driven by: Art Pollard, Carl Williams, Greg Weld, Bobby Allen, Dee Jones, Dick Tobias and Jerry Karl. First race: Phoenix International Raceway (R1), 30 Mar 1969. Total of 19 recorded races.
'the Gordy Johncock car'
Gordon Johncock bought one of the new wedge Gerhardts for 1969 but it arrived too late to be completed for practice at the Indy 500. It remained in pieces in Johncock's Garage 47 during practice, while Johncock focused on his two older Gerhardts in the next door garages. He commented to the Indy Star reporter Joe Hamelin on 22 May that he hadn't paid for it yet and intended to send it back. Subsequent history unknown.
Driven by: Gordon Johncock. First appearance: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (R3), 30 May 1969.
'the Myron Caves car'
New wedge Gerhardt for Myron Caves team for 1969. Although announced in February 1969, the Caves Buick wedge was not expected to race until the Indy 500 and the team's older car was used by Jigger Sirois in the early-1969 races. The car actually missed the Indy 500 as it was still being put together in chief mechanic Bob Higman's garage in Romney, Indiana, and it first raced by Jim McElreath as the #14 Quaker State Spl at Trenton in July 1969. It was then the #74 Gerhardt driven by McElreath, Arnie Knepper and Sam Sessions in 1970. McElreath could not qualify the car at the 500 that year, where photographs show a very exaggerated wedge shape. Caves had heart surgery in June 1970 and his team disappeared until Ontario 1971 where the car was entered as the #37 Caves Buick with Bruce Walkup in the seat. Lee Kunzman qualified this car for the 1972 Indy 500, and it was raced later in the season by McElreath, Johnny Parsons Jr and Greg Weld. The Caves Buick team was wound up at the end of 1972, and the subsequent history of their wedge Gerhardt is unknown.
Driven by: Jim McElreath, Arnie Knepper, Sammy Sessions, Bruce Walkup, Lee Kunzman, Greg Weld and Johnny Parsons Jr. First race: Trenton Speedway (R9), 20 Jul 1969. Total of 17 recorded races.

Yes, I am still alive and I've missed you all! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've started a fabulous new job and between that and looking after my son, I've had zero time to update my beloved blog for you. Alas, I am back with a corker!
The craving for cake overcame me, so I did my super easy cheats cake. Just like all of my 'recipes' within my Slow Cooking For Busy Bitches series, this one is so easy and darn tasty! On with the show…
Here's how to make this heavenly minty cake wonder:
- Line your slow cooker with greaseproof paper (this makes getting the little blighter out so much easier and cleaner!)
- Make the cake as per the instructions on the packet or if you have the time, make one from scratch -I'm too much of a busy bitch for this, so I cheat.
- Carefully add the gorgeous Mint Aero Bubbles on top of the mixture. A few will sink but this only adds to the taste!
- Pour in to your slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours and Ta-Da, it's all done!
I love to make my cakes in the slow cooker as they always turn out so moist and tasty.
Will you be making this? Have you had success using your slow cooker for cheeky puddings?

Beehive has a buzz about it
Some pubs are destined to remain pubs, come what may. The Beehive in Lambeth is one of them.
It was twice hit by Nazi bombs during World War II – once in September 1940 and again a month later – and both times it reopened shortly after. It was later completely rebuilt.
"Unlike some bombed-out London pubs, it didn't become a car park or the land used for other purposes because of its lease stipulation," says Panayiotis Themistocli of licensed leisure specialists AG&G, which is offering it to rent or lease.
"Back in 1935, the freeholder agreed a 90-year lease, provided the property is never used as a shop or house but only as a pub."
The current lessee is open to either granting a new sub-lease, inviting rental offers for the property, or selling the head lease with vacant possession, which expires in November 2025.
"We're expecting considerable interest because of its location," says Panayiotis Themistocli. "The immediate area around Elephant & Castle – the former Heygate Estate and Elephant & Castle shopping centre – is undergoing major regeneration, which is going to see the neighbourhood improve. Elephant & Castle, Borough and London Bridge are within a few minutes' walking distance."
The ground floor trade area measures more than 180 square metres (1,935 sq ft) and features a traditional U-shaped servery and solid timber flooring, the basement provides the usual cellarage and storage.
The two floors above provide substantial accommodation, comprising seven rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and two lavatories.
Licensing hours are from 11am to 11pm Monday to Thursday, to midnight on Friday and Saturday and noon to 11pm on Sunday. Should the head lease be purchased, the headline rent is fixed at £250 per annum which expires in 2025.

Some concerns tend to be realised in a scenario where marketing and advertising is worried. Just one must, as a result, ensure that he/she will entirely fully grasp this stuff. Within a case where the market of any organisation is in a very messy condition, the company will always seek out to see several of the main reasons why the situation is this way. They will have to gather information and facts that will help them in fixing this sort of problems. For this to generally be thoroughly accomplished, one particular need to be able to perform a market research to ascertain where the situation is. This, hence, calls for the several solutions that may be Utilized in a problem in which one particular hopes to conduct a marketing and advertising exploration.
Info applied in this way will not be as trustworthy as info gathered prospectively as it depends around the precision of information created at some time and on men and women's recall of situations in the past, which may be inaccurate (generally known as remember bias).
In ITT analysis, men and women are analysed in the remedy teams to which they were being assigned at the start on the RCT, regardless of whether they drop out from the trial, usually do not go to comply with-up, or swap therapy groups.
Aggregating basic safety information throughout clinical trials during drug development is very important for the reason that trials are typically made to deal with analyzing how perfectly the drug works. The safety info gathered and aggregated across multiple trials as being the drug is formulated allows the sponsor, investigators and regulatory agencies to monitor the combination security profile of experimental medicines as they're formulated.
Even though there are distinctive methods, a number of which keep in mind other aspects of high quality including the directness from the investigate, the degrees are made to guide people of clinical investigate data as to which studies are prone to be quite possibly the most valid. Likert scale
The diagnostic process may very well be utilized when consumers are suspected of having a disease thanks to indications and signs and symptoms, or to try and detect a disorder in advance of any symptoms have made (a screening strategy).
These conditions, fulfilled in 72% of individuals with Alzheimer's disease in this study, Obviously suggest the repeated utilization of validated find diagnostic instruments. Due to this, diagnostic misclassification was not likely to be a major issue. Additionally, misclassification of some unaffected people as cases and some cases as controls would scale back the exposure distinction between the teams, producing the estimates much more conservative.
Screening with a bigger group of people (a hundred–300) to determine efficacy and also to further more evaluate its safety. The gradual rise in examination group sizing allows for the evocation of much less-common Unintended effects.

The registration was made in ten different click here now models/goods with QStamp® technology.
The RAMQ database would not have information on socioeconomic standing, training stage, smoking patterns, or alcohol usage. Smoking and Liquor intake are acknowledged for being related to benzodiazepine use but not a priori with Alzheimer form dementia, even though chronic wine use has actually been claimed being a protecting issue.51 The effect of not changing for these components was more likely to be conservative as benzodiazepine use is regarded as larger in normal wine and alcohol buyers.
In some US locations, the local IRB have to certify researchers as well as their staff right before they are able to carry out scientific trials. They have to have an understanding of the federal individual privacy (HIPAA) law and superior clinical follow.
Summary Benzodiazepine use is linked to an elevated danger of Alzheimer's illness. The more powerful Affiliation noticed for long-term exposures reinforces the suspicion of the doable immediate association, even when benzodiazepine use might also be an early marker of the problem affiliated with an elevated try this danger of dementia. Unwarranted long-lasting use of those medicine ought to be regarded as a public well being concern.
The case study is helpful for generalizing using the sort of check that Karl Popper termed falsification, which varieties Component of crucial reflexivity. Falsification delivers One of the more demanding tests to which a scientific proposition may be subjected: if just one observation won't in shape While using the proposition it is considered not valid generally and need to for that reason be both revised or rejected.

Fireworks - Chapter One: The Idea
"Look at him," Sam sighed, gazing out the window of Bag End.
Rosie nodded in agreement. "Poor Frodo," she murmured, before focussing her attention on the carrot she was dicing.
"He's never been the same since..." Sam trailed off. The memory of Mordor was still fresh. Sometimes, he still dreamt of the malign land of fire and ash where he had accompanied Frodo during the quest of the One Ring.
"Is he still having those dreams?" His wife raised her eyes. She had been aware of the violent nightmares that plagued the hobbit.
He nodded. "I wish there was somethin' we could do. Somethin' to cheer him up."
Rosie's eyes gleamed. "I know!" she whispered eagerly, motioning him closer.
* * * * *
"Rosie, love," Sam began. "Are you.... insane?" He had to duck before she swatted him across the back of the head. "Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
"You said it yourself - they've grown up since then. `Specially after the... thing." Rosie was never sure how to mention the quest to her husband and Frodo, so she simply referred to it as `the thing.'
"Maybe you're right..." he mused.
"You're ***ed well I'm right, Samwise Gamgee. And don't you ever forget it!" The two shared a kiss, before Rosie declared, "Now off with you! That grass needs cuttin'!" Her husband groaned.
* * * * *
Frodo shivered as his cobalt eyes fixed their gaze on the waning crescent moon. Night always evoked memories of Mordor; of the One Ring. Instinctively, he raised a hand the chain around his neck.
"Why do I still do that?" he thought. After all, the ring had been destroyed well over a year ago. But no amount of time would ever quell his longing for it....
"Mr Frodo!" Sam's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Sam!" He reeled round. "There you are!" He feigned a smile, but Sam knew his friend better than that.
"Rosie and I have somethin' to tell you."
"Let me guess! You're gonna have a baby?"
"No!" Sam turned scarlet. "I mean not yet... I mean..."
"It's fine!" Frodo placed a hand on the gardener's shoulder to calm him. "So... what is it? Something good, I hope. I could do with some good news." He sighed forlornly.
"Then you'll love this." Sam grinned, having regained his composure. "We've gonna have a party."
* * * * *
Merry and Pippin sat at a table in the Green Dragon Inn, smoking their pipes and sipping some ale.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Pippin said, taking a large swig. "Remember what happened last time!"
"Pippin! Where's your sense of fun? Look," Merry replied jovially. "Last time, we had no idea what we were doing."
"We?" His companion spluttered. "It was YOUR idea to steal that firework. It was YOUR idea to light it inside the tent. It was because of YOU that we were stuck washing dishes for the rest of the party!"
Merry could not deny that his friend's assertion was entirely correct. It was his fault that the two had been punished for engaging in mischief with Gandalf's fireworks at Bilbo's eleventy-first birthday party. However, it would take more than the memory of being hauled away by the ears and forced to wash Bilbo's dishes to hinder this hobbit.

Other Global Warming Gases in CO2's ShadowAn article in today's issue of the journal Science proposes that the focus on carbon dioxide as "the" greenhouse gas responsible for global warming needs to be widened to include other bad gases contributing to the problem -- which we heard recently could see entire climate zones wiped out in under 100 years.
A complex mix of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth's atmosphere contribute to the greenhouse effect; a blanketing that lets sunlight in and traps the heat. According to Live Science, Co-author Keith Shine of England's Reading University says all gases need to be studied to gain a full understanding of climate change -- I just can't believe someone needed to point this out.
CO2 does account for most warming because of its sheer volume, but a combination of other gases makes up approximately 40 percent. Since other gases can more efficiently absorb and re-emit radiation, they can individually have a bigger share in the process. Some gases are up to 10,000 times better at absorbing and re-emitting radiation than CO2.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
These greenhouse gases were banned from common uses in air conditioners and refrigerators after being found to devour atmospheric ozone. Levels are no longer rising but it'll be decades before the amounts we once contributed will be gone.
The methane puzzle
Making up most of the 40 percent of other gases, methane is posing a number of unanswered questions for scientists. It's known to come from burning fossil fuels, animal waste, landfills and melting permafrost, but exactly how many natural sources there are and how much methane is naturally found in the atmosphere is being debated.
Not to mention scientists don't know what methane does once emitted because it's so short lived and reactive with other molecules. Levels were rising steadily but have leveled off in the last decade. It remains to be seen whether the reason is less emissions or molecule destruction due to reactivity, so does whether the leveling off is permanent or temporary.
Hopefully the scientists will get on that one soon, so we can find out just how damaging cow farts really are.

"We want our children to love the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Love proceeds from knowledge: you can only love what you know. The Catechism teaches us that our purpose in life is to know, love and serve God. It is only if you know God, that you can love Him. In The Mass Explained to Children, Maria Montessori gives young readers the knowledge from which a love for the Mass can grow."
—Laura Berquist, Homeschool Specialist
Maria Montessori was, in many ways, ahead of her time. Born in the town of Chiaravalle, in the province of Ancona, Italy, in 1870, she became the first female physician in Italy upon her graduation from medical school in 1896. Shortly afterwards, she was chosen to represent Italy at two different women's conferences, in Berlin in 1896 and in London in 1900. Her desire to help children was so strong, however, that in 1906 she gave up both her university chair and her medical practice to work with a group of sixty young children of working parents in the San Lorenzo district of Rome. It was there that she founded the first Casa dei Bambini, or "Children's House."

2008 Nissan Titan review and picture
It takes a lot to be the best of the best in the category of pick up trucks these days, even though the competition has sloughed off a bit as more and more attention is being allowed to other kinds of vehicles, like sedans and SUVs. All the same, the 2008 Nissan Titan does not rise up to this difficult challenge, but that is not necessarily a slight against its name, because despite not being at the top of its class, it is still an above average vehicle that any truck fiend would be proud to own.
The Good:
- hungry new V8 engine
- lots of interior room
- interesting features and creative design
The Bad:
- lack of comfort compared to rivals
- lack of varied drivetrain and cab options
- exhaust noisy
The 2008 Nissan Titan came out in 2004, and it has only gotten small changes and additions since then until the 2008 model year. This year, it's getting something big, in the form of a new model for long wheelbase, as well as a lot more to add to the long list of features, a bigger and better design, and a great interior improvement.
There are two cab styles for this pickup truck, the King or extended cab, and the crew up. These body styles come in four trim levels, the XE, SE, Pro-4X, and LE. The XE comes with the following features standard:
- 18 inch wheels
- cruise control
- CD player
Then is the SE, the next step up, which adds to the list:
- 18 inch alloy wheels
- power windows
- leather seating
- CD changer
- heated mirrors
Third is the Pro-4x, which is available only in four wheel drive and comes with:
- Rancho shocks
- ready to go skid plates
- all terrain tires
- push button rear locking differential
Finally is the tip top model, the LE, which brings:
- 20 inch alloy wheels
- cargo tie down tracks
- rear park assist
- climate control
- Bluetooth
- power adjustable pedals
- auto dimming mirrors
The 2008 Nissan Titan did well on crash tests, scoring four stars for passenger protection in frontal impacts done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and a good for side impact from the Insurance Institure for Highway Safety. It comes with many safety features, such as antilock disc brakes and stability control.

Dressed in a skimpy pink balloon tube and panties, Lola poses in the bathroom and spreads her legs, aiming her piss towards a wine glass. Her aim is a little off, so this rousing blonde bends over, showing us her curvy bottom while trickles of her golden liquid drip into the glass below. Once it is full, she pours it over her sexual skin and tastes her juices. Lola continues to sip on her piss while toying her pom-pom and gapes herself open with a speculum.

- With Internet auctions and flea market mobile applications, the concept of "Reuse" has become a part of our everyday life. However, it is also true that many people still do not feel like selling and buying things that are no longer in-use. At present, the total assets of branded goods and precious metals that are sleeping in the closets of Japanese homes may total around tens of trillion yen. In other words, Japanese homes have a sleeping gold-mine that could move the Japanese economy.
- How can we enlighten more people about the value and the beauty of "Reuse"? We everyday grapple with that challenge. It has been 10 years since we had started our small stores in Osaka, Namba. Our efforts included, stores that make customers to drop by, creating relaxing space like a salon for our customer, training a concierge that builds a trusted relationship with a customer, new services empowered by IT technology, opening our own auction in order to constantly deliver the value of our item, and so forth. To deeply plant our philosophy of "Connecting values and memories of things" in the world, we have been creating a flat and flexible business.
- And soon, we may challenge to create new business that does not fall in the "Reuse" industry. From now on, together with our employees, we shall aim at providing a business with a new value to our entire stakeholders.

The smartphone will be shipped within five days after the pre-order booking is placed. The buyer however, can cancel the purchase before the smartphone is shipped. But the pre-order is limited to only one smartphone per pre-booking.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 crossed one million milestone in sale in India few weeks ago.

To refresh, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review) features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) IPS display with 2.5D arc glass. It has a pixel density of 401ppi. The smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor.

Notably the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 will be available in offline stores across North India, Delhi, Jaipur, and Chandigarh.

Astrology websites are mushrooming all over the internet and most of them without any clear direction. Generally it is a fault of Web developer who do not guide their client as what would a common visitor want. They just suggest to copy a style of a renowned astrologer or a palmist. This is probably not the right way to address the requirement of a client.
Each astrologer or a palmist is different from each other. Their practical experience would have told them something different from a contemporary forecasting methods, so how can they both have similar predictions. Not possible.
A web developer or project manager has to understand the requirement of a client very deeply. Let the astrologer speak his mind. The more you let him speak, the better you would understand his view point and his overall requirements. Every astrologer interpret planetary combination differently based on their own experience, so a project manager has to understand that his results would be very different from a general forecast.
Astrologers / forecasters generally requires a low-medium budget websites and would demand content writing skills of a web developers also as they might not be very good in English themselves. So be prepared for low profit web designing.
Some of the basic requirements for an astrology website would be:
- Astrological calculations
- Predictions (yearly, monthly, weekly, daily)
- Match-making
- Remedies
- Stones
- Horoscope
- Registration of client for personalized dealing
- Payment acceptance (from Paypal and other premium payment gateways)
- Child name suggestion
- Business recommendations
The output printouts from a website should be designed in such a way that each page is neatly indented with proper side margins for binding etc. A neat printout from a astrology website is one big plus.
In addition to this, an astrology website need to be aesthetically developed keeping soul of this immaculate science intact. Colors should be soothing. Website should be fast downloading and SEO friendly. It is very important that the astrologer is highlighted to the maximum extent possible.
If a astrology website is designed and developed keeping above mentioned points in mind, it would be a great success. Call us now to discuss all the other possibilities to make a money spinning astrology website for you. Call us at +91-9878-587-580.

The PD/Pupillary Distance is the distance between your pupils, it ensures the correct centration of your Prescription lenses in front of your eyes.
On average the PD in an adult is usually between 60 and 66 millimeters. If your prescription shows two PDs for example 64/61 this will mean the 64mm will be used for distance glasses, bifocals or progressive lenses and the 61mm will be used for reading glasses.
If you only have one PD this will probably be your distance PD, you can reduce this by 3mm if you require reading glasses, as your eyes converge to read, however, we would suggest confirming this with your optician to be certain.
Sometimes your optician may write your PD for each eye, for example, 32/33, this is called mono PDs, you just need to add these together to arrive at your binocular PD, you can also add a note in the additional info box when ordering to list your mono PD measurements if you wish, this will be useful if ordering Varifocals/Progressive lenses.

EBAY announced after the bell that they plan on acquiring all of Shopping.com (SHOP) outstanding shares for a total of $620 million. This is over a $100 million premium over SHOP's market cap. ECST will now deserve a higher market cap as well, as the spillover effect benefits ECST.

The company plans on becoming profitable during the second half of this year.
124,000 new customers were added last quarter taking the total to 1.2 million.

Compaq Claims Success in International PKI Tests
Page 1 of 1
Compaq Computer Corp. announced today that the first nation-to-nation Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) cross-certification test, which took place on June 1 between the governments of Singapore and Canada, was successfully completed.
The new PKI environments employing public-key technology are designed to guarantee the authentication and security necessary for conducting electronic transactions.
Compaq said the June 1 trial, which involved Canada's Deputy Minister of Commerce buying a book from a Singapore retailer, was the first of its kind in which different countries' PKIs interfaced with each other to secure an international transaction.
The cross-certification test was comprised of requests for certificates that were successfully accepted between the Singapore and Canadian PKI systems' certificate directories. The requested certificates act to securely authenticate the users conducting the transactions.
The Singapore PKI technology, which is operated by South Asia Certification Authority Netrust Pte. Ltd., is based on Compaq's iTP Certificate Security Solution (CSS), a main component of Compaq's e-commerce product line.
"With technical interoperability now established, secure global electronic commerce can begin to flow over the Internet or any public PKI-enabled networks," said Patrick Smyth, vice president and general manager of electronic commerce for the Tandem division of Compaq.
"We are pleased to be working with forward-looking Netrust by providing highly reliable and scalable Compaq electronic commerce solutions to build Singapore's advanced infrastructure into the new century."

Volunteers of Moral Home
29 Jul
Moral Angels with the kind support from the shooting academy of the Singapore Sports School went out on our first outing of 2017. It was a record breaking event for us as we brought a total of 28 beneficiaries to Zhong Shan Mall for some midyear shopping.
We gathered at 1215pm on Saturday 01/07/2017, as students were introduced to their various group leaders. Rico and Christina were the HR manager as 38 student volunteers were painstakingly sorted and paired with a beneficiary.
These students were then put through a rigorous session of wheelchair handling workshops conducted by their various group leaders to make sure that they are well prepared for the arduous journey ahead. A big thank you to all our volunteers who stepped up as group leaders, taking care of both our elderlies as well as our young volunteers.
We went to the NTUC at Zhong Shan Mall and the beneficiaries were given the VIP treatment. they each had a "personal butler" to bring them around, helping them with their purchases. NTUC was also kind enough to open a dedicated lane for us to make payment.
We spent as if NTUC also took part in our nationwide GSS campaign, spending close to $500 in total in our shopping spree.
Tea break was held at Zhong Shan Park, a beautiful open area right outside Zhong Shan Mall. Just one hour into the outing, and our young volunteers had absolutely no issues handling the wheelchair, expertly manoeuvring and marshalling our beneficiaries in this tight space. Sports School also sponsored the tea break for our beneficiaries, buying buns and drinks for all involved, old folks, students and volunteers alike.
Our final stop was at Sun Yat Sen Nanyang memorial hall. The aircon inside provided a brief respite from the sweltering heat. Special thanks to Susan mama, who despite the various protests, insisted that we had to take a photo here. If not for her persistence, we would not be able to capture this beautiful moment.
Thank you, all young and old volunteers, for a meaningful Saturday spent together.
I would also like to make use of this avenue to address our young volunteers, as we never had a chance to talk to them and to thank them properly after the event.
What to have for meals, what time to shower, what to splurge your pocket money on, what to do and where to go in your free time; this are simple decisions that we are all free to make. An independent choice is however oftentimes a luxury to our beneficiaries instead.
So, I want to thank you, not just because you made their day by bringing them out, not because you kindly spent your prize money on them, but because you empowered them, to a little extent, to your best abilities, enabled them to make a conscious choice. You allowed them to choose something they want, to buy something that they like.
On the grander scale of things, Freedom of choice is a precious gift and something I hope you will cherish and be grateful for.
Lastly, I would like to do some advertising for ourselves, we are volunteering every Saturday from 230 to 530 and all are free to join us. Of course, do not expect our normal routine to be as intensive and high octane as the outings we've been on. The activities might be banal, but the company is fun and entertaining, and we all can't wait to see you again.
This is Raymond. Peace out.

The PACF's donors are as diverse as the funds they founded, however they all have a shared interest - the betterment of our community. You, too, can make our community better. And, someday, we'd like to share your story.
Without these generous individuals, families and businesses we simply wouldn't exist. Here are a few of their stories. Check back as we add new stories regularly or visit the Our Funds page for a full fund listing.
Over the years, Jane Burdette has been involved with a wide variety of charitable organizations throughout our community. She has been very active in disability awareness programs and groups, social service and women's groups and numerous other community organizations. Several years ago, in order to provide support for important charitable causes she cared most about, Ms. Burdette established the Jane E. Burdette Advised Charitable Fund with the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation.
"I have been involved with many community groups and have been able to see worthwhile ideas become reality with the Foundation's assistance," said Ms. Burdette.
As the daughter of the late Jewel and C. Richard Burdette, Jr., also fund founders at the PACF, Jane was educated in Wood County schools, being the first student to attend regular classes while using a wheelchair for muscular dystrophy, and graduated from Parkersburg High School. She earned college degrees from Parkersburg Community College and Glenville State College and her master's degree from West Virginia University. She also received an honorary Doctorate of Divinity.
The Jane E. Burdette Advised Charitable Fund provides financial assistance to worthwhile community projects, with special attention to projects that are new, innovative, and creative and those that respond to important community needs.
"In life, all of us are given a torch to carry," said Ms. Burdette. "It's up to each and every one of us to keep it burning bright as long as we have it and until we turn it over to someone else."
The Doddridge County Park offers something for everyone at its site of nearly 250 acres of land and many amenities. With many features and multiple acres to maintain, the Doddridge County Parks and Recreation Commission took a proactive step this year to secure its financial future by establishing a permanent charitable fund with the PACF's Doddridge County affiliate.
The new Friends of Doddridge County Parks and Recreation Commission Endowment Fund is a long-term permanent source of funding for the park. The Fund will make an annual distribution to the Doddridge County Parks and Recreation Commission to help preserve and maintain the park.
"This permanent support fund enables us to focus our attention on providing an excellent venue for recreational and educational opportunities for visitors," said Greg Cottrill, Director of the Doddridge County Parks and Recreation Commission. "We've been very fortunate to receive grant support from the Foundation. With the $5,000 grant which we recently received, we built the park's first-ever 'Yurt,' a form of lodging for rent beginning in 2017. The Commission's decision to partner with the Foundation to establish this fund was an easy decision and one we know will prove beneficial for years to come. Once the fund reaches a minimum fund value of $10,000 set by the Foundation, it will annually generate a distribution to the park. The beauty of this setup is that the principal of the fund is never invaded, so it can forever invest and annually issue a distribution to the park. We hope, over time, our initial investment will be paid-back and then some."
Nick Endrizzi grew up in St. Clairsville, Ohio. He attended West Virginia University prior to serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. After serving, he graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1950. Ann Mahoney grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and graduated from The Ohio State University in 1943. She worked as a laboratory technician at the Battelle Institute of Technology and the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine, where she met Nick.
Nick and Ann were married in 1951, and moved to Parkersburg, West Virginia. Nick established the Parkersburg Veterinary Hospital, while Ann managed the office accounts. Nick practiced large and small animal medicine until retiring in 1984.
Nick and Ann were married for 58 years, and raised five children and were both delighted in their ten grandchildren. Ann passed away in 2009, and Nick passed away in 2014. As both of their birthdays were in December, and in the spirit of giving that is Christmas, their children provided a gift in December 2014 to create the Dr. Nick and Ann Endrizzi Memorial Fund.
Their children said that it was their parents' hope that others in need would benefit from their lifetime of hard work through a memorial fund. Nick and Ann were always faithful supporters of their parish church and its Catholic schools. Nick, in particular, was always very sensitive to persons in need, because of the significant struggles his family faced as a child.
This new memorial fund with the PACF is intended to continue the Endrizzi's legacy of generous giving for the causes that were most important to them. In honor and memory of Nick and Ann Endrizzi, the annual grants from this new charitable fund will benefit Parkersburg Catholic Schools, St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, and the Salvation Army of Parkersburg.
"My father made sure that any kids who came into his store who needed shoes, left with a new pair on their feet," Rob Fouss said. "It is a humbling feeling to help others less fortunate and this charitable fund is a way that I can honor my father's lifelong ambition to help those in need."
The story of Rob's father, Robert E. Fouss, began with his birth to Margaret Kehl and William Jacob Fouss on June 20, 1920 in Casey, Illinois. When he was just a young boy, his family moved to Marietta, Ohio. For many years, Fouss walked past a corner store in Marietta and became intrigued with the idea of operating a store of his own. During World War II, Fouss enlisted and became a quartermaster in Manila in the Philippines. He was placed in charge of dispensing equipment for the war effort, including clothes, food and truck parts for the Army.
Upon returning from the war, he began working at Fort Pitt Shoes on Market Street in Parkersburg and, later, opened Ford Shoes in the Grand Central Mall. During his 46 years in business, Fouss only missed a few days of work. After retiring in 1983, he began woodworking, making hundreds of items, including bowls, lamps, candlesticks, kitchen cabinets and arts and crafts pieces.
After his death in 1995, his son, Rob Fouss, said people started telling him stories about how his dad had provided them with shoes through trades for fresh eggs, bacon or other arrangements when they couldn't afford to pay. These stories touched the family deeply.
In 1999, Rob and his sister, Pam Fouss Wenmoth, established the Robert E. Fouss Memorial Fund, which supports the general charitable purposes of the PACF, with a particular emphasis on providing shoes to children in need, in partnership with area schools and charitable organizations.
Since its establishment, hundreds of children throughout the community have received shoes in the name of their father. To support this fund, please make a donation here.
A passionate crusader for animal welfare, Ruth Hornbrook was born in Marietta, Ohio, more than a century ago. She crossed the Ohio River in 1913 and settled in Parkersburg.
During the 1950's, Ms. Hornbrook assembled a 25-member group of local citizens to discuss the idea of establishing a humane society for Parkersburg to create a better environment for animals in her community. Ruth spearheaded their efforts to raise funds and to determine a location for the Humane Society of Parkersburg, Inc. She continued her support by serving on the Society's Board of Directors and helping to initiate many of the programs that remain important components today in the Society's success, including promoting spaying clinics and youth educational programs.
Her involvement extended far beyond Parkersburg's city limits. She was influential in crafting key state legislation concerning animal rights and active in the Humane Society of the United States and the American Humane Society.
To ensure support would continue for humane societies statewide, she included a bequest in her will that established the Ruth Hornbrook Memorial Fund with the PACF. This Fund benefits humane societies across West Virginia with preference given to new societies' needs. Through the grants from this permanent fund, thousands of stray and unwanted animals receive improved care throughout West Virginia annually.
While Ms. Hornbrook passed away in 1989, her kindness and lifelong commitment to the well-being of animals and the humane society movement continues, thanks to the support generated by her fund for the needs of West Virginia's Humane Societies today and tomorrow.
Kitty Woods, a stenographer for a Ritchie County attorney wrote in her will that, "It is not the purpose of this bequest to relieve the taxpayers of any part of their burden of furnishing schools for the children of the district, but for the purpose of enabling the Board of Education to give to the children of said district advantages they might not otherwise have because of lack of funds."
Born in 1884 and raised in Ritchie County, WV, Kitty Woods was the daughter of Isaiah Wells Woods and Ella Victoria Lambert, both of whom were lifelong residents of Ritchie County. Ms. Woods was the granddaughter of Salina Wells Woods and Philip Woods, a minister who was born in Pennsylvania and eventually settled in Ritchie County.
Ms. Woods never married or had any children of her own but was very concerned about education and the welfare of children in her area. In 1963, when Ms. Woods passed away, she made a gift to the Ritchie County Board of Education through her estate plans to permanently benefit the students of Harrisville High School (now Ritchie County High School) and Harrisville Elementary.
In 2014, the Ritchie County Board of Education used Ms. Woods' gift to create the Kitty Woods Support Fund for Ritchie County High School and Harrisville Elementary School with the PACF. This fund is assigned as part of the Foundation's Ritchie County affiliate collection of funds, the Ritchie County Community Foundation.
Ms. Woods' generosity allows this fund to continue to make a grant each year to both schools to address educational opportunities for students.
Dr. Robert C. Robinson was a long-time supporter of the Foundation. During his lifetime he joined the Foundation's Legacy Society and established a charitable remainder trust naming the Foundation as one of the charitable beneficiaries. His planned gift started the Dr. Robert C. Robinson Memorial Fund.
"Bob was a very kind man and quite the rapscallion," said Mr. Robinson's step-daughter Suzy McKenna. "He loved playing cards with my mother, dancing, telling jokes and of course was an accomplished optometrist."
Dr. Robinson was born in 1916 in Marietta, OH. He graduated from Marietta High School, then in 1938, from the Illinois College of Optometry. In World War II, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy. He served in the Pacific Theatre aboard the hospital ship U.S.S. Sanctuary. Upon Dr. Robinson's return to Parkersburg, he practiced optometry until his retirement in the 1990's.
Seven years after its creation, the Dr. Robert C. Robinson Memorial Fund has given over $24,000 in funding to organizations in the Mid-Ohio Valley serving women and children in crisis and families affected by domestic violence. Additionally, the fund itself is now worth nearly 25% more than the original gift value. Dr. Robinson's initial gift will continue to grow and continue to make a positive impact in our region and to help address a troubling need.
Mr. James and Mrs. Trudie Schaughency will forever have a legacy in our region thanks to Mrs. Schaughency's contribution to our community through a planned estate gift to the PACF. By naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of her estate, Mrs. Schaughency has created the James F. and Trudie A. Schaughency Charitable Fund.
When asked why she made such a commitment Mrs. Schaughency said, "Jim and I had a most interesting, exciting and wonderful life. Hopefully we can in some small way enable others to enjoy a more interesting and productive life."
Through her gift, Mrs. Schaughency will continue she and Jim's ongoing support to several organizations plus provide support for the arts in our region. The PACF is thankful for their commitment and we are humbled to welcome Mrs. Schaughency to the Foundation's Legacy Society.
Tyler Milam Westbrook was many things – a beloved son, husband, father, brother, grandson, son-in-law and uncle; Promise Scholar and 2002 honors graduate of Williamstown High School where he excelled at multiple sports. He was an avid West Virginia University fan and magna cum laude graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in 2006 and a highly decorated member of the U. S. Army, a Green Beret, graduating as the Distinguished Honor Graduate from the Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Course.
Tyler served in many difficult and challenging assignments over an eight-year period of duty which included multiple tours in Iraq. SFC Tyler Milam Westbrook was 31 years old at the time that he ended his life in the summer of 2015.
Many people wanted to do something to commemorate Tyler's special life and to remember his leadership and many friendships. While Tyler will be forever remembered for his heroism as a Green Beret and sniper and his dedication to serving our country, his family and friends want to honor his legacy at Williamstown High School and recently initiated the Tyler Milam Westbrook Scholarship Fund with the PACF. Gifts toward Tyler's scholarship were made to the PACF to form a perpetual memorial award in Tyler's name each year.
The scholarship was awarded for the first time in May 2016 to the student who earned fourth position among the Williamstown High School graduates, as that was Tyler's class rank at graduation, with the award continuing in that manner every year thereafter. In this way, Tyler's legacy will be forever honored at Williamstown High School—his high school in his home town—a place that has meant so much to Tyler and his family over many years.
A new community bicycle safety program is underway in Wood County working to make it safer for those who prefer to pedal around the region. The Wood County Alternative Transportation Council, part of the Wood County Commission, is working to raise awareness about the importance of bicycle safety between cyclists and motorists.
"We are able to do this thanks to the partnership that the Commission formed with the PACF," said Lloyd Roberts, Chair of the Wood County Alternative Transportation Council. "We're all local volunteers and establishing a fund with PACF was the best option for us. The PACF folks have been great, helping us through the legal issues, helping us establish the fund, recordkeeping, and basically 'spoon feeding' us through our first fundraiser, Give Local MOV."
Thanks to the new Wood County Trails Fund established at the Foundation by the Wood County Commission in February 2016, the Council now has a structure it can use to fulfill its mission. The Council raised $4,000 through Give Local MOV on May 1, 2017, all which will be used to support the Program. The campaign highlights West Virginia's bike safety laws that require drivers to allow a three-foot clearance when overtaking cyclists.
"We want both cyclists and motorists to feel comfortable out on the road," said Roberts. "In addition to this Program, we are working on other projects to make Wood County bike friendly, including installing bicycle racks in the region."
Gene and Mary Smith, both natives of Ritchie County, instilled a love for education in each of their eight children and in their many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. To honor the Smith's commitment to education, their family created the O. Eugene and Mary Scott Smith Memorial Fund in 2010. This Fund supports professional development or post-graduate studies (coursework beyond an undergraduate degree) for Ritchie County educators as well as academic school improvement needs within Ritchie County schools.
Focused on enhancing educational opportunities for students and educators, grants awarded from the O. Eugene and Mary Scott Smith Memorial Fund have supported numerous programs on an annual basis. Since its establishment, the fund has awarded over $3,900 to important community projects, including a $1,000 grant awarded to Ritchie County High School (RCHS) in spring 2016 which helped to develop and equip a video production lab at the school.
"As a result of this grant, students at RCHS are gaining real-world video production skills and now routinely publish video content," said Robert McPeak, teacher at RCHS. "Video Journalism has become very popular at the school. In addition, several students are now pursuing video production related careers as a result of their success in the course."
This memorial fund ensures that the Smith family's belief in the value of education will continue to benefit Ritchie County students both now and in the future.
Tennis had always been a large part of Pam Reeves' life. She started playing as a child and her passion for the sport followed her to Parkersburg High School (PHS) where she played tennis and volleyball. After her PHS graduation in 1981, Pam attended Morehead State College in Kentucky to earn her English, health, and physical education teaching degree. She later returned to the Mid-Ohio Valley to teach. She began her teaching career at various elementary schools in the area and then taught and coached at both Jackson Junior High and Hamilton Middle School.
Pam was hired to serve as the head coach for the PHS tennis team in the early 90's. Under her guidance, the tennis team won many state titles. During this time, she also obtained Master Degrees from Salem International University and West Virginia University for her Master's plus 30.
Pam's life was dedicated to her students. Family and friends recall her having shoes, shorts, and shirts in her classroom for students in need. They also recall the many stories of how she touched the lives of her students and teams over the years.
Not only was her influence felt at the schools, but Pam also had a large love for tennis outside of the competitive atmosphere. She was instrumental in organizing the Vienna and Parkersburg City Park recreational summer leagues for adults and youth and for over 35 years she spearheaded the Jackson Park tennis program.
To continue her legacy for the love of tennis and the youth of our region, Pam's parents, Donald W. and Margaret Reeves, established the Pam Reeves Memorial Scholarship. Their donation, along with many donations given by local citizens, created a permanent scholarship fund that will forever provide monetary support to a PHS graduate. Pam's energetic spirit and passion for tennis and the region will forever live-on through this important charitable fund. The first scholarship is to be awarded spring 2018.
A local financial advisor for more than twenty-five years, Bruce Holmes often assisted clients in making stock gifts or establishing charitable funds with the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation.
Bruce frequently recommended charitable giving and always felt that Donor Advised Funds were a great philanthropic tool for clients with many different community interests and that the PACF was the right partner. So, it was only natural that since Bruce and Cathy, his wife of forty-seven years, had wide ranging interests, that they, too, create a charitable fund with the PACF.
"I like the flexibility of using my Fund to recommend grants for a variety of current needs," said Bruce Holmes. "Reviewing the PACF Grants Committee's list of community requests helps me to target funding to causes that I know are well researched. I'm very impressed with the PACF's operations and enjoy our partnership."
Cathy, who passed away in 2016 after a long and courageous battle with cancer, deeply loved animals and supporting area humane societies. The couple's daughter, Anne, follows her parents as Advisor of the Bruce & Cathy Holmes Advised Fund. Her parents hope to help her discover the joy of giving and to support Anne's passion for animals.
Later, with a Legacy Society commitment fueling their Fund's giving, the Holmes' family's Donor Advised Fund will use the Foundation's Grants Committee to accomplish its giving. Far into the future, their family charitable tradition will carry on, continuing to make a positive difference for those who are most vulnerable among us—children and youth; families in crisis; senior citizens; others unable to care for themselves; and the region's uncared-for animals.
Some people saw Jean Grapes as a dedicated community activist and outspoken political leader. Others knew her as a deeply compassionate person who encouraged, and inspired those around her. A Wirt County native who was proud of her family and her Scottish heritage, Jean Grapes was a trailblazer. The first and only woman elected to the Wood County Commission, Jean's passion for public service was grounded in a sincere desire to make life better for her community's citizens.
Growing up through the Great Depression, Jean learned from her parents the importance of giving to those in need even though her own family often had very little. Upon graduating from Wirt County High School, she married David Grapes. Later becoming Wood County's first female real estate broker, she opened her office in south Parkersburg in 1966, eventually naming it, South Parkersburg Realty.
In many ways, her beloved husband, David, who owned and operated Dave's Price Rite Market in Lubeck, WV, was the "wind beneath her wings." Quietly devoted to his family, David was an avid wood worker, who loved gardening and spending time with his dog, Lady, rescued from the animal shelter.
When David passed away in 2010, Jean wanted to do something special to commemorate his generous, caring spirit. She created the David and Jean Grapes Family Charitable Fund, as a long-term support fund for the Parkersburg Area Coalition for the Homeless, House to Home project. Jean had earlier spearheaded efforts to establish the House to Home day shelter, and she and David remained involved for many years.
With Jean's passing in January 2017, the family desired to further the important work begun by their parents. The Grapes' family fund will continue to support persons in Wirt and Wood counties who are experiencing homelessness or mental illness, serving as a lasting legacy for the Grapes' family, ensuring that future generations know of Jean and David's lifelong commitment to caring for those in our community who are unable to do so for themselves.
Catherine "Cathy" Diana Travis McClain graduated from Doddridge County High School in 1971 and from Salem College, now Salem International University, in 1973 where she obtained her Associate Degree in Nursing. She was employed for twenty-four years by the Doddridge County Health Department as a public health nurse, and during that time she also worked at the Doddridge County Senior Citizens for fifteen years.
Cathy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2003. Even through months of clinical trials and chemotherapy, she continued working and taking care of others. After four years of what appeared to be remission, Cathy's ovarian cancer was discovered again, and it had spread to many of her other organs. Again, she underwent extensive surgery and months of chemotherapy. She continued to work, taking care of anyone and everyone who needed her, but now, at a little slower pace. Her determination to deal with the side effects of chemotherapy, to continue to work, and to fight this terminal illness was an inspiration to everyone who knew her.
"Through it all, Cathy always had a smile on her face and acted as if nothing was wrong," said Debbie Davis, Cathy's friend. "She refused to give up and fought to the very end. Cathy would talk about how she had to get better and that all she wanted was to 'be well enough to get back to work'. She was a remarkable woman who will never be forgotten. In her final days, the idea of establishing a scholarship fund in her name was discussed with Cathy and she loved the idea and even decided what it should be called."
Cathy passed in January 2008 after a courageous battle. Shortly after her passing, the Cathy McClain Nursing Scholarship was formed with support from Ms. Davis and the Doddridge County CEOs. The scholarship is part of the Foundation's Doddridge County regional affiliate collection of funds and provides support to a Doddridge County resident, who is a graduating senior or a previous graduate of Doddridge County High School, and who intends to be a full-time student attending a college or university in West Virginia pursing a degree in nursing or related field.

Medical admissions deferred after website glitch
Directorate of Medical Education says counselling will resume after SC directive; students and families allege irregularities, block road after waiting for results on Friday nightbhopal Updated: Oct 02, 2016 20:26 IST
The second round of counselling for admissions to state-run and private medical colleges was deferred on Friday late night after a glitch in the government website that triggered allegations of irregularities.
The counselling will resume after the Supreme Court gives a directive on Monday, the directorate of medical education (DME) said.
"The counselling was stopped late night after the MP Online server was hacked. The reason behind the hacking and the identity of the hacker will be revealed after an investigation," said DME director GS Patel.
Irate students and their family members, who came to the Gandhi Medical College (GMC) for the counselling, blocked a road at Royal Market on Saturday, alleging irregularities in the allotment of seats. Now, 730 seats are vacant at private medical colleges and 87 at government ones.
The Supreme Court ordered a centralised admission process in the state on September 22 after cancelling counselling sessions conducted by private medical and dental colleges. Friday was the last day of the counselling.
HT spoke to students and their parents who spent the whole night at GMC vainly waiting for the results.
"I am coming here with my daughter for the last four days with the hope of getting a seat in a government medical college. The authorities could not display the results till 1 am, citing a problem in the computer server," said Neeraj Jain from Gwalior.
Himanshu, a student from Raisen district, claimed the server error was a well-planned conspiracy. "The Supreme Court ordered the authorities to complete counselling by September 30 midnight. That the results were not displayed was a violation of the SC order," he said.
"We could not leave the premises (of GMC) to take food as we were afraid that we might miss our call for the counseling," said Umesh Barnwal from Gwalior, who came with his friend and her daughter for the counseling. "We only had snacks from the eateries located near the GMC. Food stall owners fleeced the students and parents. They were charging almost double the MRP printed on food items."
Barnwal added, "No water in the toilets of the college put people in difficulties."
Some parents with their children entered the GMC dean's office around 1.30am to vent their frustration over the counselling delay. They left the office after officials assured them that the results would be displayed by 3am.
GMC dean Ulka Srivastava said there was a problem in the servers of MP Online and the results would be downloaded after it was set right.
"We sent an official to the MP Online office to obtain the hard copy of the results list as the technical problem in the servers was beyond our control," Srivastava told HT.

Welcome to our new web site!

After reading the recent article "Red flag sale" (City Pulse, Aug. 2), I think it is important for readers to get a different perspective on the potential sale and redevelopment of Lansing City Hall.
While everyone is entitled to their opinion, facts still matter and the fact is that City Hall is well past its prime. Lansing taxpayers are forced to throw good money after bad to maintain the building, which is failing in almost every meaningful respect. The roof and windows leak, the HVAC system is ancient and abominable, the structure fails to meet modern standards for fire safety and ADA accessibility, and the list goes on.
Could it be fixed? Certainly. But after an exhaustive technical review by some of the top experts in the field, the projected cost of bringing the building up to modern standards could be as high as $60 million. This figure does not include the cost of relocating city government operations to a different facility during a multi-year renovation process, which would add millions of dollars to the project. More than a dozen years ago, former Lansing mayor David Hollister also considered renovation to be a prohibitively expensive option. The building has not aged well since that time.
Nonetheless, some of the proposals we receive from prospective developers may in fact be based on saving, rather than demolishing, the existing City Hall. Rest assured we will give all proposals the same fair and thorough consideration.
The land upon which City Hall sits is perhaps the most strategically important parcel in downtown Lansing. Valued at more than $4 million according to a recent appraisal, this key corner in the heart of the capital city's government district could be repurposed for a development project that would have a transformational impact on our city, perhaps as a much-needed new hotel, or a mixed-use complex that could include ground floor retail, commercial office space, residential dwellings and a restaurant on the top floor with panoramic views of the State Capitol Building.
And, despite the ridiculous assertion by Preservation Lansing that the current location of City Hall is the best location, city government's customers would beg to differ. Parking near the building is nearly impossible and sometimes results in the indignity of receiving a parking ticket when a person comes to 54-A District Court to pay…a parking ticket.
Weighed against potential alternatives, including the Lake Trust building on the southern edge of downtown, where an entire city block is ripe for new development, there are vastly superior locations for a new City Hall, which could involve refurbishing an existing structure at a much lower cost than saving the current City Hall. A new City Hall, whether built from the ground up or a rehab, would also serve as a synergistic spark for new development in its immediate vicinity, just as the Board of Water and Light's new REO Town Headquarters and Co-generation Plant has had a dramatic impact on the revitalization of REO Town.
As for the argument set forth by an MSU professor that City Hall is a classic, historically significant example of Mid Century Modern architecture, let me say this about that: In the same way that a geologist finds an ordinary rock to be an object of beauty and fascination, art historians are prone to find deep meaning and value in a period of architecture that produced any number of ugly, utilitarian structures, including Lansing City Hall.
Concerning the process that has been underway for several years, and which I have publicly discussed on countless occasions, I can assure Lansing residents that we are engaging in a thoroughly professional process of evaluation, consideration and decision making that I hope will result in securing both a new home for city government that will stand the test of time for the next fifty years, and create tremendous economic activity, new jobs both during and after construction, and new tax revenues to support vital municipal services like police and fire protection.
I could easily leave office at the end of this year having done nothing to advance this project. It is always an easier path to maintain the status quo. But I wasn't elected a dozen years ago to be the city's chief maintainer. I was elected to bring vision and drive positive change in the city I love, and that's what I will continue to do with every ounce of my energy until my last day in office. For that, I apologize to no one.
(Virg Bernero is the mayor of Lansing.)

This is the time of year when many of us take a good hard look at our lifestyles and resolve to improve our diet, up our exercise and generally nurture our bodies. In fact it is almost impossible to read a newspaper or magazine without being instructed on the latest diet, detox or fitness regime. There is no doubt that a new year inspires us to tackle health problems and an inability to conceive will often be included in such a list.
There is no cure-all that will guarantee a solution to your fertility problems. However, there is plenty of evidence that supports the theory that you are more likely to fall pregnant if your body and mind are in the best possible shape.
The team at Herts & Essex Fertility Centre has put together their top ten tips for preparing you and your partner, both mentally and physically, for your journey towards parenthood. Whether or not they result in you conceiving without the help of a fertility treatment, they will certainly help your general health and wellbeing.
Make sure you include a wide variety of foods in your diet but in particular eat plenty of cereals, (wholegrain where possible), green vegetables, lean meat, eggs, up to two portions of oily fish per week and drink plenty of milk. The Herts & Essex Fertility works with Dr Marilyn Glenville who has spent the last 30 years studying and practising nutritional medicine. Her research has shown that working with women and men on their nutrition improves the quality of their eggs and sperm. We will discuss your diet in your initial consultation with us.
If you are overweight or underweight you may have trouble conceiving. This is in addition to potential complications during the pregnancy and effects on the health of your baby. Eating sensibly over the long term will help you to achieve an acceptable weight.
Try to take some regular exercise. A regular walk will help your physical fitness and give you some quality thinking time away from the stresses at work and in the home. It is also a good way to relax to overcome the tensions that infertility inevitably causes.
And while alcohol might help you to relax, it is advised that it should be avoided as it can affect both male and female fertility. Excessive intake can even lead to miscarriage or an early menopause.
The same is true of caffeine, so do your best to cut down on coffee and try some of the delicious herbal teas that are now readily available in supermarkets.
Smoking can cause infertility and should be stopped.
Male fertility
A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2013 showed that a sedentary lifestyle contributes to poor sperm quality. Healthy young men who watch TV for more than 20 hours a week have almost half the sperm count of men who watch very little TV. Conversely, men who do 15 or more hours of moderate to vigorous exercise every week have sperm counts that are 73% higher than those who exercise little. So turn off the TV and get yourself to the gym!
Share your eggs and sperm
At Herts & Essex Fertility Centre we run an egg sharing programme that allows a woman who needs IVF to share some of her eggs with another woman who is unable to conceive using her own eggs. The egg donor will receive one free cycle of IVF. A similar service is offered to sperm donors.
Egg donation
Alternatively you can donate your eggs altruistically as a means of helping a woman who cannot conceive naturally. We offer £750 expenses to our egg donors.
Act now!
This is the top tip from all our clinicians. There is no doubt that a woman's age will impact her chances of becoming pregnant so the sooner that you start investigations into your fertility problem the better chance you have of success. Recent research at the University of Aberdeen has shown that fertility starts to decline rapidly from the age of 37 so really do act now.
The Herts & Essex Fertility Centre offers a One-Stop Fertility Assessment for women (£550) and men (£150), and also a Female Mini Fertility Profile for £195. Please give us a call to talk through your options.
