Impressive service that this clinic is offering. After an unexpected fall out of an implant after 15 months, the problem has been handled to my fullest satisfaction. I have never heart or seen an clinic that has such an amazing service. Certain thing that I will continue to recommend this clinic for anyone that needs implants. Thanks Juergen

Everything is explained as the treatment is carried out. My dentist Dr.Christian Pilihaci is very skilled and caring and I had total confidence in what he recommended and the work carried out. All the staff are very helpful and professional. Kreativ Dental can be very proud of what they have to offer.

Hi Maeve, It is now almost five months since our last visit to the clinic and both myself and my husband, Frank, have now completed our treatment. It would be remiss of us if we did not let you know how pleased we both are with the results. Though we did raise concern about an issue that arose we have to say that overall we are extremely impressed with both the standard of treatment and the professionalism of the staff. We have paid four visits to the Clinic over the last three years and stayed in the Amadeus Hotel for the last three visits. This Hotel is to be complemented on the improvement in both services and standards in that period. We want to thank you, also, for co-ordinating our visits and looking after our interests. We shall be visiting the clinic in the future for check-ups and will contact you about that later. Yours Sincerely Frances

Kreativ Dental in Budapest is the best medical facility I have EVER visited. Very helpful, caring and understanding staff that have become friends on first name terms. I have been twice now and I was apprehensive the first time but after that I could not wait to go back, and that's to a dentist!! Completely different to visiting a UK dentist. It's an eye opener as to what we receive in the UK. My dentist throughout was Dr Peter Lukas who I have complete trust in and his assistant Heni who is a babe as well, was brilliant and caring, also very efficient. Peter was amazing and has quite literally changed my life. My porcelain crowns look amazing and has given me my confidence back as well. When i smile at someone now I get a big smile back as they gawp at my gnashers. And,boys, the girls love them. Tom on reception speaks Hungarian and English and is so efficient and charming. This is without doubt the best money (lots less than the UK) that I have ever spent and now understand why women have boob jobs! If you want a perfect service and want to see a great City, this is the place. I have made good friends and cant wait to go back for a check up but I think I might just pop back soon for a "bridge party" on the Danube till 6 in the morning. What are you waiting for? Change your life forever and go to Kreativ Dental, honestly. Off to smile at someone now!!!! Ciao"

Dr Péter Magos m'a longuement expliqué toute la procédure. C'est un dentiste exceptionnel et les résultats ont été à la hauteur des mes espérances ! De retour en Suisse, mon dentiste de Genève a été impressionné par la qualité du travail. Depuis, j'ai recommandé la clinique à de nombreux amis et collègues. Je recommanderai Esthetic Tours et Kreativ Dental à tout le monde, avec en plus le plaisir de passer un agréable moment dans cette magnifique ville qu'est Budapest !

|Wallace Stone (England)
|Dental Implant,Dental Crowns,General Dentistry
I had extensive dental restoration work carried out at the Kreativ clinic last year. There was a lot of work to be done so it took a while after completion for everything to settle and all become comfortable but I must say the quality of work and the final results were better than I expected they would be and certainly cheaper than if it had been done in the UK. Unfortunately, 4 months ago I had a problem with a crown. Though disappointed and a little annoyed I was happy with the way the UK agents and the clinic handled things. The repair work was quickly carried out for free under the terms of the guarantee which also covered my return flights and hotel. I have learned that not all clinics abroad offer this. I would highly recommend the Kreativ clinic for the quality of work and their seriousness.

I completed my 8 days of treatment on Wednesday and I'm very pleased with the result. Dr. Magos is excellent, and I will write to him to express my thanks. The main feeling I've had from the beginning with you and Kreativ Dental is- that I have not been 'fleeced' in any way...excellent quality. All went well with Freda as well. Her assessment shows she needs a lot of treatment-to start with 4 working days. Many many thanks again. Regards, Una. PS Hotel Amadeus very good also.

|Kristian from Dublin (Ireland)
|General Dentistry
Hello Maeve, I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how I got on in Budapest. Well, I'm quite impressed with the team at Kreativ and very much enjoyed the city. The folk are an honest and sincere people which really appeals to me as it's not like the Ireland of today. The city is beautiful and has far more to see than I expected or had time for, so I'll look forward to my next trip for that too. To be fair I'm going to try and learn some of the language too. As I expected I need more work than I hoped but it would not have been possible to have it done here as is the same with many folk who do not know of the options of going abroad. Having established at my first appointment that braces were my best option, and that this meant needing my wisdom teeth removed and staying a few days for observation, I feel this could have been done on this first visit. Preferring to have this done by Kreativ, rather than another practice here, this now means I need to make a second trip to complete Phase 1 of a three phase plan. However, I am very happy with the work the team have carried out so far, and in particular very happy with my appointment with Viktor in Buda. For such an affluent country its amazing how our health system lacks the required expertise and technology for the work one can get from Kreativ, at not 'cheaper' cost, but affordable as it should be here. I may do an article here on the benefits of Kreativ as I feel more folk should know about it and I'd be happy to recommend it. Myself and another client bumped into a lady at the Budapest Airport who had visited another clinic in Budapest for the same services and we were only happy to pass on your contact details and recommend Kreativ, as we did to the Aer Lingus crew who enquired about it too. I will be returning in January for the rest of Phase 1 of my plan, and hopefully Phase II also. Will you please pass on my thanks to again Atilla, Noemi, Ivain, Kriszti, & Peter. Regards, Kristian

|Polly McGrail (Ireland)
|Dental Implant,Dental Crowns
Hello, Maeve I wanted to share with you what happened last week when I went to my dentist here for a scale and polish: Not knowing anything about implants herself, but being interested, she asked if she could show my mouth to their resident Implantologist. In he came. examined my teeth, gums etc, and then said: Beautiful! He had another good look at the work, including the precision attachment, and then said: I have nothing but admiration for the people who did this work. How about that for an endorsement! Peter Magos did most of the work, alongside the technicians from the lab. I hope you will let them and Attilla himself know how highly the work was praised. I myself always felt that I was using Kreativ because of their expertise, not just because it was less expensive than having it done at home. All good wishes Polly
|Maria from Dublin (Ireland)

|Dental Implant,Dental Crowns
Dear Maeve, Just a note to let you know that I was very pleased with the treatment I received at the Kreativ dental clinic in Budapest. I had major work done and now, one year later, I am more than happy with the result. I found the staff at the clinic very professional, courteous and friendly. They discussed in detail the required procedures, the timescale and the cost and I was shown, at a visit to their dental laboratory at the clinic, exactly how crowns and bridges etc. are made. I estimate that the cost of my treatment was approximately 40% of the cost in Ireland and this included my travel and subsistence. The fact that clinic arranged pickup at and return to the airport and gave me free travel in Budapest for the duration of my stay was an added bonus. Overall, I felt as if I were being treated as a valued customer rather than a patient. Regards, Colm
|Vicky (Ireland)
|Dental Implant,Dental Crowns
Hi Maeve Finally back at home! I am really happy with the look of the bridge work done at Kreativ. Having had quite a traumatic history with many dentists means I'm not the most relaxed patient. I was very pleased with the care Victor took over my dental treatment and was impressed with attention Yan gave to the look of the final crowns. Thank you for all your help. Best regards V H UK
|Gary from Donegal (Ireland)
|Dental Crowns
Hi Maeve, Having spent a total of 24 days at Kreativ over 2 visits I think I'm qualified to say it was well worth it. Brilliant! That was my reaction on leaving the 'chair' one evening after having 4 extractions (2 of them surgical). I went back to the hotel with my pain-killers (which I never touched!) and went shopping the next day. As is obvious from my length of stay I've always hated the dentistry here in Ireland because I thought it always had to be painful traumatic experience but after been to Budapest, I would have no hesitation (and have been) recommending it to everybody who looks likes they need some work done. It's now a year later and I can smile for the first time in years and I'd make a pretty good tour guide in Budapest. G S Donegal
|David Thomas (Ireland)
|Dental Implant,Dental Crowns,Root Canal Treatment
Well that was a very positive experience. My second treatment was carried out by Naomi and I was very impressed; she is so thorough. Preparing my mouth for the bridgework a week last Monday was a long job and I don't think I have previously sat for such a continuous period in a dentist's chair, but the after was benign and an hour later I was sitting down to a concert in the Liszt ( how do you spell that!?) Auditorium and afterward had a nice supper across the road. It is a very good clinic and I will recommend it to anyone who is looking for good dentistry. One of the factors that goes toward making it so attractive is the ease of getting there and the ridiculously cheap airfares we have now. This situation isn't going to last though and I wonder what will be the impact of 3 and 4 times real increases in fuel costs. Time will tell! David Wales

Dear Maeve, My husband and I returned from our treatment/holiday in Budapest in early September, and are both delighted with the outcome and the professionalism with which we were dealt with by all at Kreativ. We also enjoyed visiting the city in Summer, even if being condemned to eating soft food for two weeks does put a damper on things... Thanking you, C L Dublin

Hi Maeve, Just wanted to thank you for all your help over the last few months - It was very much appreciated. Dental clinic exceeded my expectations. They staff were incredibly efficient and helpful. Was very impressed with the actual dental work too and managed to tour around Budapest including a weekend in Vienna before returning to Ireland. Just wanted to give you some feedback Many thanks again Maeve

Hi Maeve, Just back from a very successful trip to Budapest.. We were very happy about every aspect of the trip and delighted with the work done at the clinic. I had 8 crowns and Pat had 7 fillings, his teeth extensively cleaned and a new bridge with 4 teeth. All for a fraction of what it would have cost here as you know. I will go back in the future for work on my lower teeth which require crowns ect. The clinic is excellent! Thanks again. W C Wicklow

Dear Maeve: Fabulous! Ivan was my dentist and he is a kind, gentle and patient man who is genius when it comes to teeth (he told me if he was a genius in general he would be better at chess). Attila said my work was easy, and I guess he was right considering what other people needed to have done. I could not be happier with the result. My family, as you predicted, were very impressed. I would not hesitate to do it again or to recommend it to others. Thanks again for your help, it was truly appreciated. Leslie Arthur New York

Hi Maeve. Thanks for all your help and encouragement. I'm still getting used to my new 'mouth' but it's a fantastic improvement. Pat F Dublin
|Paul from Dublin (Ireland)
|General Dentistry
Hi Maeve - Paul from the Irish Independent here. No problems with my work (in fact my Irish dentist has told me my crowns are excellent), but my wife has a problem or two. She has a wisdom tooth that needs extraction, and her dentist tells her she probably needs root canal work on one other tooth. Can you give me a price for the work whenever you get a chance please? How you are well, Many thanks Paul

Hi Maeve Just to let you know everything went off brilliantly in Budapest. We felt really well looked after. No pain, and Peter obviously knew what he was doing. I had a bridge in the end, so I don't need to go back. We enjoyed the city and were lucky with the weather. It was mild and autumnal - leaves falling all over the place. On the Friday we went for a walk in the City Park in shirtsleeves. We also had a nice day up in Szentendre on the Duna. We were very impressed with the public transport in Budapest - I don't think we waited more than 5 mins for a bus or train. Many thanks for all your help. David UK

5 Songs to Support, Heal and Inspire
We've all listened to music to get through tough times. Maybe it's a break-up or a family argument. Other times we turn to music to boost our energy or recalibrate after a particularly hard day. But music is much more than a pleasant distraction. Recovery Unplugged uses music as a primary component in addiction treatment and recovery.
The groundbreaking treatment center (with multiple locations throughout the U.S.) is first and only organization in the world to fully utilize music in addiction treatment. In addition to supervised detoxification, group therapy and individualized counseling, and aftercare, Recovery Unplugged harnesses the power of music to break down barriers and reconnect clients to the world of the living.
A common misconception in any sort of music therapy is that you have to be a musician to participate. Facilitated workshops and group sessions use many different modalities, including basic lyric writing and song composition, therapeutic drumming, listening and analysis, and appearances by guest artists, such as Recovery Unplugged's Director of Creative Recovery (and music industry powerhouse) Richie Supa.
EDGE turned to our community of more than 200,000 Facebook followers and asked what artists and songs give you inspiration. The response was overwhelming! Here are some of your favorite picks.
Lana Del Rey - "Summertime Sadness"
Joanna Newsom - "Only Skin"
Lady Gaga — "Just Dance"
Bette Midler - "Wind Beneath My Wings"
Stevie Wonder — "You And I (We Can Conquer the World)"
Are you are someone you love facing addiction? You're not alone. There is help.

I visited Montreal last month and the language thing confuses me a bit. I heard both languages being spokeen in the streets but Montreal is a french city.
I have been watching the news and I see that everybody is speaking english in Montreal. Can all the anglos speak french? It seems like most francophones speak english. Can you live in Monreal without knowing french?How do the two languages co exist?

Part 1 looked at what qualities you need to get in, while in this second half I'm going to be looking at the application process – from CVs through to interview. You need to get both parts right: obviously polishing your CV and preparing for an interview isn't going to make up for missing skills – you might get a little further along if you're lucky, but you won't get in. The real shame, however, would be for a highly skilled person to submit a weak CV, or prepare poorly for interview – because this part is so easy to get right. I might see through to your true abilities, but I might not. Do you want to take that chance?
Hunting through rubbish
I really need you to understand how easy it is to be overlooked. From my point of view, the CV filtering process is like searching for something valuable in a big old pile of rubbish.
We get a lot of CVs. I don't keep figures, but more or less all of them are terrible. I have plenty of other things to be working on, so I'm in a hurry. Like anyone who does the same tedious job repeatedly, I've developed reasonable heuristics to do it efficiently. The problem for you is this:
There isn't really much penalty for me missing a good individual, or at least if there is, I get no feedback on it, because by definition, I have no idea when I've missed someone good. On the other hand, there's an obvious penalty for me allowing a poor candidate to the next stage. I quickly find the problem at interview, and try to avoid wasting my time like that in future.
In other words, I naturally develop ways to discard rubbish quickly, while spotting just enough valuable stuff to fill my vacancies – which is very different from having a way to find as many good candidates as possible. That's just me being pragmatic and effective in the face of time pressure, sorry! The good news is that it should be simple to get past my heuristics, in 4 easy steps 🙂
Step 1: grab attention
Your first job is just to get my attention. I'm moving quickly through a big pile of CVs, spending maybe 30 seconds on each one, so your first goal is just to slow me down slightly. I'm going to spend slightly more time looking at something that's visually interesting – if you can push 30 seconds up to 45, you've got a significant advantage.
I know you're a programmer, so I'm not asking for anything fancy, just a clean layout that's visually strong or has something slightly different about it – perhaps a combination of fonts, perhaps some strong visual alignment, whatever. I did get one with a bright pink background once. That slowed me down, but in the wrong way. Some companies mangle your CV through some weird automated tools and recommend you just send a plain text file. Actually, we don't – so I'll see the formatting as you intended it (strangely, in all the many CVs I've seen, I've never had a plain-text one: if you're the type of grouchy programmer who hates the idea of doing anything remotely aesthetic, you could actually catch my attention with that! ) The vast majority of applicants send a Word document with the default font throughout, a depressingly average layout with centred headings, no contrast, no alignment, nothing, so the bar is not set particularly high here. I can't recommend this book enough for a very simple introduction to good page design (it used to be purple):
Step 2: be perfect
Remember what a hurry I'm in? I'm looking for a reason to move to the next CV – and any mistake will do. Review your CV over and over. Get someone else to do it too. Get your spelling, grammar and punctuation right. You just sent me a Word document with spelling mistakes that Word's spellchecker is picking up? Next! Get your technical terminology right. A classic pet hate of mine is people who say they're good at "object-orientated design". Here's what Google has to say on the topic:
Did you mean: object oriented
Yes Google, you did. Next! Here's the best CV blooper I can remember – right at the top, starting their personal statement with
I have always been good at innumeracy …
Step 3: show me what's good
You've got my attention, and there are no mistakes to be found on skimming the page. I'm still reading quickly, so now you need to draw my attention to the good parts, which may include some but not all of:
- Jobs history
- Education
- Anything else relevant: projects, open source contributions, …
- What you're passionate about
- What you're good at
- Why you're applying
In each case, I'm looking for something personal, something original, something interesting that shows you've put some thought and care into it. This is where I might just start to like you. If you've had a programming job, tell me what you did – something you're proud of. If you've just had typical part-time student jobs, they may still have taught you something, perhaps in people skills if not technical. Write specifically for (someone like) me, rather than making a generic CV that you're shipping off to hundreds of places ("I'm looking for a job in IT …"). Just listing your grades and employers in a matter-of-fact way is not going to impress anyone. We get hundreds of CVs like that. You have to put the effort in to sell yourself.
Step 4: what not to do
A couple of final things I hate:
- Lists of technologies. I really hate these. If you've done the previous part properly, I'll know what knowledge you have to what level in your previous jobs, education or open source work. Anyone can spout a list of technology names, and anyone can have a passing acquaintance with them. I want to know about serious, impressive pieces of work that you've done with them. I want to know a bit of depth and detail about this. If you're not good at it, don't mention it.
- Cliched stuff like "I have great attention to detail" (especially if your CV doesn't reflect that!!), "good communication skills" or "I've always wanted to get into games". Anyone can write vague phrases like these, and almost everyone does; you can and should do better.
To demo or not?
Submitting a demo is a time-honoured way to get your first job in the games industry. As far as I'm concerned, you're wasting your time. Here's why:
- I'm in a hurry – running a demo doesn't fit into my 30-second CV scanning, so you're either in or out on that basis. If I like the CV, that's enough to move to the next stage, so I'm unlikely to bother with the demo.
- I'm not wild about running an arbitrary executable that's been sent in.
- It's unlikely that you'll build anything that great, let's be honest. The amount of work that goes into modern game technology is massive, and one person isn't going to achieve much, particularly if you don't have art or music skills – you could end up with great code let down by poor content. At best you probably produce something along the lines of a polished old-school game, which tells me absolutely nothing about your ability to work on one of our large, complex projects.
- I'm more interested in the code you write than the final on-screen result.
Having said all that, there are many companies (primarily the smaller ones) that still value them, so it may be worth creating one for their sake.
The standard forms
As well as the CV, we usually ask people to fill in some standard forms and sometimes answer a couple of written technical questions. There's not really much to worry about here, and I won't say too much as the forms and questions are liable to change over time. Some hiring managers like to lower the bar on CVs very slightly and use the technical questions as a way to filter, so it's not an opportunity to shine, more a chance to screw up. Whatever you do, compile and run the code you submit – otherwise you could really look stupid.
One of the forms also asks about salary expectations. We don't really do salary negotiation, so there's not much point treating it as such by entering something artificially high (and conversely, don't worry about putting in something too low – we won't take advantage of you). Mostly this is there to make sure we're not wasting our time with someone who thinks they're worth way more than we do.
Phone screen and interview
If I like the CV, it's phone screen time. The technical part of this is really simple and nothing to worry about – never more than half an hour. I'm not going to give you any clues about the questions except this: if you can't answer them quickly and confidently, you don't deserve a programming job anywhere. The point is, CV filtering isn't perfect, and I'm still trying to weed out junk efficiently, just using a slightly different perspective.
In non-technical terms, it helps to prepare in two very basic ways: make sure you know at least a little about RTW and the job you're applying for (if you don't seem interested then I'm unlikely to be), and come with a few reasonably engaged questions about us or the job – again, showing some interest 🙂 This applies to both phone screen and face-to-face interview.
For the interview itself, just remember my previous post and the three things we're looking for. Apart from preparing for standard technical stuff (like basic algorithms and data structures), the most important thing you can do is to have a significant piece of work you can explain in depth. I'm going to be looking for:
- How tough this was – I'm going to drill down into what you did, specifically, and what the hard problems were. I'm not going to be impressed if it turned out that the other contributors did all the hard parts and you just added some cosmetic bits and pieces.
- How well you can explain it to me – the problems you faced and the solutions you created.
- How much you cared about it, which comes across by how excitedly you talk. If I ask you to describe the work you're most proud of, and you can't make it sound interesting, it doesn't say much for your level of engagement in your work.
This is incredibly important and well worth preparing in advance. A surprising number of people pick a project which turns out to be dull or easy when I drill down into it.
The anti-loop
There's one unfortunate fact of interviewing, which has already been coined the "interview anti-loop":
We eventually concluded that every single employee E at Amazon has at least one "Interview Anti-Loop": a set of other employees S who would not hire E
This phenomenon is alive and kicking in the games industry. There's often a generation gap between older game programmers and younger: people who rate assembler skills and people who don't care, people who think the C++ standard library is the root of all evil, and people who think you'd be crazy not to use it. I'd say in general our interviewers lean more to the modern style, but there are some exceptions, so beware! I've seen candidates obviously trying to get around this by trying to say what I want to hear rather than what they think. This is pretty daft – it's transparent and can easily backfire when I ask you to justify and explain your position and it turns out to not be something you believe in. Be yourself and say what you think. The anti-loop, I'm afraid, is just tough cheese.

Posts for tag: pinched nerves
Could your pain or muscle weakness be caused by a pinched nerve? Our Fort Lauderdale, FL, chiropractor, Dr. Donna Watson, offers chiropractic treatment that can relieve your symptoms.
What causes pinched nerves?
Pinched nerves occur when a bone spurs, spinal discs, or vertebrae press against a nerve, causing pain and inflammation. Pinched nerves not only affect your spinal column but may also occur in joints.
What are symptoms of pinched nerves?
Pinched nerves can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including:
- Back, neck, or joint pain
- Numbness, tingling, or pain that extends into your arms and legs
- Muscle weakness or spasms
- Migraines or headaches
- Trouble bending or twisting
- A foot or hand that "falls asleep" frequently
- Difficulty sitting or standing for even short periods of time due to pain and discomfort
- Trouble sleeping
How do chiropractors treat pinched nerves?
Before treatment begins in our Fort Lauderdale office, Dr. Watson must determine the cause of your symptoms. Pinched nerves are often caused by:
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Discs are fluid-filled sacs that cushion your vertebrae and act as shock absorbers. They may begin to degenerate due to aging, wear, and tear caused by sports and other strenuous activities or injuries. As the disc degenerates, it may begin to press on a nerve.
- Spinal Subluxation: A subluxation occurs when a vertebra in your spine becomes misaligned and presses on a nerve.
- Herniated Disc: As your herniated disc bulges outward, it may compress a nerve.
- Osteoarthritis: If you have osteoarthritis, you may be at increased risk of developing bone spurs. When the spurs form in the spine, they may decrease the amount of space available for the passage of the nerves through the spinal column and cause painful pinched nerve symptoms.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat pinched nerves, including spinal manipulations that improve subluxations and relieve pressure on the nerve. Deep tissue massage, heat or ice packs, traction, spinal decompression therapy, and stretching exercises may also be recommended to ease pain and increase range of motion.
Would you like to relieve your pinched nerve symptoms without medication? Call our Fort Lauderdale, FL, chiropractor, Dr. Watson, at (954) 568-9355 to schedule your appointment.

Remarkable leaders have great faith in their vision and their employees.
Green industry leaders unselfishly share ideas, trials
Peter Orum, Midwest Groundcovers
During his acceptance speech, Orum suggested that business leaders remember to give employees "breaks" that will help them in their career and in life. He recalled a critical break he received while attending non-commissioned officer school in the army. It was the end of his training, and he asked a buddy if he could drive his jeep around camp. An officer stopped him for speeding and asked for his credentials. But Orum wasn't authorized to drive that jeep, and the officer filed a report stating it had been stolen. Since things took a while to get through the system then, Orum received his sergeant stripes and returned to his regiment. A week later the company commander demanded to see him after getting the report about the stolen jeep. Orum remembered "the dressing down" he got from his commander. When he explained that he meant no harm and told his side of the story, the commander took Orum's driver's license as punishment and eventually sent him to Army motor school "since you like to drive so much." Orum said that commander saw something in him and "took a minus that could be turned into a plus."
Nancy Buley, J. Frank Schmidt & Son
Buley was hired at J. Frank Schmidt & Son as a temporary marketing writer that was supposed to last for the summer. And 24 years later, she's made a career at the Oregon-based nursery. She told the audience that the best part of horticulture is the people who grow the plants. And as her role at the nursery broadened, she made connections with arborists and tree-planting groups across the country, a role she relishes. Buley expressed gratitude to the Schmidt family and said she was "honored to be the voice" of the nursery. She encouraged the audience to "get out of our silos and preach the gospel of trees or annuals or perennials – whatever your passion. Keep talking it up and keep growing."
John Hoffman, Hoffman Nursery
Hoffman was surrounded by friends, family
Hoffman, who's made friends all over the world, talked about how much he cherishes those friendships.
"The horticulture industry is an amazing place. It's a unique business and world that we're in where customers can become best friends, where vendors and suppliers can be best friends, and even competitors can be best friends."
Hoffman was quick to credit his wife and business partner Jill for the company's success, saying "she's the backbone of the company." He told his son and daughter how proud he was of them and their accomplishments and gave high praise to his team for help with each aspect of the business.

Senegalese artist Omar Ba explores dictatorship in Bethnal Green exhibition
PUBLISHED: 13:33 11 August 2014 | UPDATED: 13:33 11 August 2014
A new exhibition in Bethnal Green will explore the themes of dictatorship, war and modernity.
Senegalese artist Omar Ba will have his work displayed at the Hales Gallery in his first solo exhibition.
State of Emergency, which can be viewed from September 3 to October 4, draws on his time living in Senegal and Switzerland and brings together African and western artistic influences, often centred around single figures, isolated on black surfaces.
Ba started painting as a child in Dakar, where he and his friends would draw on walls with almonds found inside mango stones, often inspired by television cartoons.
Much of his work is painted directly on to corrugated cardboard sheets, and uses myth-like or folklore beings to arrest the viewer.
Ba makes use of imagery associated with famine, tribal decoration, factional warfare and despotic self-styled leaders, along with advances in new technology and popular culture.
But he goes beyond focusing on one dictator or one country.
The images are meant to be symbolic and carry a universal message.
Sasha Gomeniuk, gallery coordinator at the Hales Gallery, said: "We've been working with Omar for about two years now and we've shown his work in the United States and in Hong Kong.
"The response has been great. His work is very strong in terms of the themes he uses."
The Hale Gallery is housed in the Tea Building in Bethnal Green Road, and has helped launch many artists' careers, including Carolee Schneemann, Tom Price, Hew Locke, Rachael Champion and Trenton Doyle Hancock.
For more information visit halesgallery.com or follow the gallery on Twitter @HalesGallery.

Relief groups say Peru still badly needs aid
LIMA, Peru – Relief officials urgently appealed for more aid Thursday for earthquake survivors along Peru's shattered southern coast. Medical help, blankets and tents top the list, along with food, water and latrines.Two weeks after the devastating quake, survivors are huddling in cardboard shelters in desperate, unhygienic conditions, said Doctors Without Borders spokesman Francois Dumont, speaking from the town of Guadeloupe."We found the town completely destroyed," Dumont told The Associated Press. "In makeshift shelters made of cardboard and bed sheets in front of their destroyed houses, families are living in cold and unhygienic conditions. They have no latrines, no drinking water and no real space to bathe.""It's like one day after the quake," said Dumont, whose group has 35 people operating mobile clinics and offering psychological counseling in the disaster zone.The magnitude-8 earthquake on Aug. 15 leveled most of Pisco, a port city 125 miles southeast of Lima, killing at least 519 people, injuring 1,366 and destroying 40,000 homes. At least 40 other people remain missing, said Alberto Visual, a director in Peru's civil defense agency.Despite substantial help initially from Latin America, Europe, Japan and the United States, some 200,000 people still need still need help to save their lives, said Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman for the U.N.'s humanitarian affairs office, which has appealed for US$37 million more in donations.The town of Cabeza del Toro is one of many where survivors are in dire need of help, said Mar Mora, an adviser to the U.N. World Food Program."All the houses are completely down, many of them broken, or many of them have disappeared. There are problems with water as well," Mora said. "They have not received absolutely anything until now and they are requesting medical services, tents, food, and special assistance for children."Peru estimates the cost of rebuilding these coastal towns to be US$220 million. Other estimates run much higher. President Alan Garcia also has promised financial aid and jobs to quake survivors.Garcia said help was reaching 95 percent of victims. Last week, he noted that electricity had been restored to 90 percent of the city of Ica and 60 percent of Chincha.But U.N. officials blame poor organization and coordination for a patchwork aid response, especially in rural areas. Trucks carrying aid have been spotted far from the disaster zone, raising fears of stolen donations, according to local media reports.And politicians are feuding over the relief effort. Federal lawmakers created a rebuilding fund Tuesday, but the president of the Ica province, Romulo Triveno, created a parallel fund and blasted the central government's effort as a violation of regional autonomy.The quake also badly damaged at least 173 churches, monuments and historic buildings, with about one-third completely destroyed, said the director of the National Culture Institute, Cecilia Bakula.Experts say it could have been much worse if the quake had struck closer to Lima, a metropolis of 8 million where many homes are built of adobe on sandy soil, just like the ones that crumbled in Pisco. Many of Lima's adobe buildings rise five stories tall, with walls reinforced with nothing more than "quincha," thick reeds mixed with mud.

Significant advancement in the complexity of spam, malware and botnet attacks was the key trend tracked by researchers at MessageLabs during 2008, according to the company's Annual Security Report.
Experts at the messaging security specialist, which was recently acquired by industry giant Symantec, contend that calendar 2008 was a "pivotal" year for development among cyber-criminals as they continued to expand their nefarious activities.
MessageLabs' report specifically called out the rise of more sophisticated online attacks, with many of the most virulent of the threats targeted at users of social networking tools. Drive-by attacks planted on other legitimate Web sites also remain a major area of growth, the firm said.
"Web 2.0 offers endless opportunities to scammers for distributing their malware--from creating bogus social networking accounts to spoofed videos--and in 2008 the threats targeting social networking environments became very real," Mark Sunner, chief security analyst at MessageLabs, said in a report summary.
"Web 2.0 thrives on user-generated content, as do the spammers. The ability to adapt to new mediums and upload enticing content as 'snake oil' to persuade an information-hungry user to activate it is one of the cyber-criminals' strongest talents and has made them successful in transforming deception into a fully scalable business model within the underground shadow economy," the expert noted.
Overall, the daily average of sites containing malware attacks grew from 1,068 in January to a peak of 5,424 in November. Many of the involved pages utilized SQL injection techniques to infect their targets, according to the report.
And even as online threats continued their takeoff, more traditional e-mail-based campaigns experienced 0.15 increases in frequency, compared with 2007 numbers. MessageLabs reports that one in every 143.8 (0.70 percent) e-mails tracked during '08 was malicious, compared with one in 117.7 (0.85 percent) in 2007. Targeted Trojan attacks saw significant growth, rising from an average of 53 per day in 2008 and peaking at 78 per day, compared with the mere 10 per day seen in early 2007.
On the spam and botnet front, levels of unsolicited e-mail peaked at 82.7 percent in February and averaged 81.2 percent for the entire year, compared with 84.6 percent in 2007. A whopping 90 percent of all spam was distributed by botnet networks, led by the Storm (Peacomm) botnet, which first appeared in early 2007 and "all but disappeared by the end of the year," ceding its leading role to rival botnets, including the Srizbi and Cutwail (Pandex) networks, MessageLabs reported.
And while the shutdown of several notorious hosting providers including McColo helped temporarily slow down botnet activity, a move by attackers to alternative hosts has allowed most of the zombie networks to remain as active as ever, save the Srizbi botnet, which resided primarily on McColo-controlled infrastructure, the company said.
Spammers moved from more traditional models to tactics involving the use of large, reputable Webmail and application services, driven largely by the manipulation of CAPTCHA systems designed to thwart such activities, the experts noted.
In January, only 6.5 percent of all spam originated from hosted Webmail accounts, but 25 percent of all spam originated from such sources by September and averaged roughly 12 percent for the rest of the year.
Phishing techniques also experienced "notable transformations" in '08, according to MessageLabs, as the use of botnets specifically designed to advance such efforts became more common.
"2008 was an important year for the security industry as new threats emerged and old threats evolved while the Internet gained sophistication and its users became more Web-savvy than ever before," Sunner said.
Matt Hines has been following the IT industry for over a decade as a reporter and blogger, and has been specifically focused on the security space since 2003, including a previous stint writing for eWEEK and contributing to the Security Watch blog.

What to do with a large tromboncino squash (found in the garden): ideal for soup!
For 2L soup (blended) from 20cm chunk of this squash:
Gently heat some oil in a large pot and cook over a low heat
- 1 small onion, peeled and sliced (or more if you prefer)
- garlic – 3-6 cloves whole , peeled (or more if you want a medicinal boost in colds and flu season)
- ginger – 6- 8 thin slices (depending how strong you like it). It is best to add ginger at the end for maximal nutritional benefits. I find it easiest to add it with the garlic so I remember to put it in at all! I may add more when I taste-test later.
Until they change colour to golden and become fragrant.
Add and cook gently for 1 minute
- 1 teas cumin powder
- 1 teas coriander powder
- 1 teas turmeric powder
- small pinch Hing (Asafoetida) powder (optional; balances tastes)
(Cumin, coriander turmeric and Hing were described to me as 'digestives' aiding the breakdown and absorption of food rather than as 'spices')
- pumpkin / squash – large chunks ( only peel off hard, tough skin-any other will blend OK)
- sweet potato (Kumara) – large chunks (unpeeled)
- 1 apple chopped (optional – adds sweetness)
- 1/2 teas cinnamon powder (or equivalent stick or essence)
- pinch cardamom powder (optional)
- stock liquid (any type; I like and use Rapunzel stock powder in water)
Simmer gently until vegetables are cooked.
Blend (I use a stick blender in the pot).
Serve in cup or bowls with a spoonful of coconut cream /yoghurt / cream/ your favourite type of creamy liquid and chopped parsley / chives etc.
Enjoy with crusty bread and salad.

Children from Charles Dickens Primary School were on hand on Thursday to help launch Borough Market's GBP 250k fundraising campaign to create the UK's biggest food classroom.
Children from Charles Dickens Primary School at Borough Market
The proposed 'Food Centre of Excellence' comes at a time when high profile figures such as Jamie Oliver are raising public awareness of British children's lack of understanding of how food is produced and where it comes from.
Borough Market Trust, a registered charity, aims to raise �250,000 to refurbish the building at 1 Cathedral Street to create the Food School.
It is envisaged that the school would be a classroom for children and school groups to learn about healthy eating and how food is produced. In an era where food education is limited to supermarkets and sell-by dates, Borough Market and the Food School would provide an opportunity to learn how to identify, source and cook fresh foods.
The school will also provide a way for young people to be introduced to employment opportunities in the food sector. It is expected to feature an advanced cookery school for chefs and local people who want to understand food better. There will be classes on how to feed a family healthily on a budget and other hot topics.
It will also act as classroom for specialists. Lectures will be given by Borough Market's own market traders – for example, Neal's Yard international cheese lectures.
The Food School will be twinned with other European food education initiatives such as Barcelona's Boqueria market, which has a classroom and syllabus for school children.
"Issues of food traceability, integrity and meaning are so important," comments Peter Gott of Sillfield Farm. "By developing the Food School, people will be able to draw on the expertise of the different stallholders at Borough. Customers can ask questions, get advice and recipe ideas."
The launch was timed to coincide with Socal Enterprise Day. Social enterprises are businesses that trade for a social purpose. Social Enterprise London – based at London Bridge – is a specialist agency that promotes community, best practice and skills development for the social enterprise sector.

By now, Miley Cyrus is well-known for her out-there fashion choices, so it should come as no surprise that she's still showing up for her gig as a coach on The Voice wearing some pretty over-the-top ensembles. Somehow, though, people were still completely shocked by the outfit she chose for Tuesday night's episode of The Voice — and by shocked, we mean horrified.
In honor of Tuesday's live episode, Miley wore a hot pink strapless dress comprising three big tiers of massively bulky fabric; picture a huge ruffled lampshade. She paired the dress with hot pink high-heeled mules and huge bedazzled hoop earrings, wore her usual minimal dewy makeup, and tied her hair up in a tight topknot.
Almost immediately after she appeared on screen — and TBH, she was hard to miss — people took to Twitter to share their feelings about the dress. They came up with some pretty creative comparisons for the ensemble: "I was missing the cover off my bed.....I just found it.....Miley Cyrus is wearing it as a dress on the Voice !!!" one oh-so-clever Twitter user wrote. "@MileyCyrus dress choice on #TheVoice right now reminds me of a bath sponge 😂" another chimed in, adding a poorly photoshopped photo of Miley's head on a loofah.
However, others stood up for Miley's OTT sense of fashion. "Everyone's hating on @MileyCyrus 's dress but honestly I love how extra she is!!!!😂 " one Twitter user claimed, and rightfully so, since fashion is supposed to be fun and a way to express yourself.
For her part, Miley apparently loved the dress so much that she posted multiple photos of it on Instagram. "BIG dress in celebration of a BIG night for #TeamMiley 💕💕💕 " she captioned a Boomerang of her swaying back and forth in the gown. "The bigger the dress , the bigger the hoop!" she wrote alongside a selfie that captured both her massive earrings and massive dress.
Honestly, all that matters is that you feel comfortable in your clothes. You do you, and let Miley Cyrus do her.

This topic of the high amount of fluff in a lot of Japanese RPGs has been working its way around my brain for awhile now and recently got stirred up by Heath's article on Omega Quintet and then Mark's review. There is fluff all around you when you enter the worlds of these RPGs; it's been that way for years and years, but lately it has become a way to hide flaws in game design, or to pad the length of a game and it needs to stop!
We as gamers should demand more from developers, more time spent making better games and less time spent on pointless dialogue. I am putting down my foot and looking at you, developers, when I say, "What the fluff!?"
Lack of Writing? Just Add Fluff!
It has to be hard to write a story that can stay interesting for the 15-30 hours that someone plays it, but that doesn't mean you can go the lazy route and provide us with a five-hour story that balloons up to around 20 hours because of all the excess dialogue you cram in.
Omega Quintet is the most recent example of this. There is just so much fluff writing here, that you can't even enjoy what little story there is because you have to wade through so much bullshit. What should take 10 words to say, instead takes around 60 or 70 words because of all the useless chit chat.
As Mark mentioned in his review, you can usually read the first two lines of any scene to get an idea of what's going on, and then skip the rest. It's different if the added dialogue is funny or at least meaningful to learn about the characters, but more often than not, it's just chit chat between characters about the most random things. Yes, I know that every RPG since the beginning of time has featured dialogue that doesn't necessarily push the story or beef up the character depth, but just keep it to a minimum and don't let it take away time you could have spent on other parts of the game.
Not enough Game Modes/Features? Hell, Just Add in Some Fluff!!
We have seen it time and time again in recent games. Combat is done well, but the developer obviously didn't take the time to flesh out the rest of the game modes, so let's hide it with an over-abundance of dialogue! That way, no one can even tell that 3/4 of the game modes are completely void of any sort of depth or a severe lack in polish.
When you can skip through almost half of the dialogue in the game and still feel you understand the story just fine, that's a problem. If just a little bit of that time/money spent on the extra writing and voice work was used to beef up the game modes, just imagine how much better these games would be.
Using Omega Quintet as an example again because it's fresh in my mind, but modes/features such as the music videos, the upgrade system, or questing itself could be so much more fleshed out if they had only been given a bit more attention. There are games series' out there that feature plenty of this extra fluff while still maintaining high value modes/features outside of the core game. I can look at recent entries in the Atelier and Tales of series, where high amounts of extra dialogue did not detract from the time spent on the rest of the game. Granted, these are established series and that has a lot to do with it, but still.
Annoying and Stupid Characters? Have You Tried Some Fluff??
I have noticed this more and more lately, but it seems like there is an abundance of annoying, pointless, void of depth characters in JRPGs these days. So much so that the added dialogue between these characters is made even worse because you don't want to dive deeper into said characters, and you cringe whenever a scene comes up where they have to talk.
When I was a younger lad, it seemed that these annoying side characters were much fewer, with generally stronger casts all the way through. This made the side dialogue, or fluff as I call it, much easier to stomach because you. at least, had a mild to high interest for the characters. A lot of this could have been because I had more patience as a young tot, but I like to think that more time and effort was put into making casts stronger.
Now, it seems like for every Cloud or Oliver (Ni no Kuni) out there, you have a few Rikku's or any one of the CPU characters from the Hyperdimension series. This makes it much harder to stomach through the absurd amount of fluff jammed down your throat. It is truly amazing to see just how much a strong cast can help you forget about so many other issues in the game.
But the Western RPGs Do It Too!!!
Yes, this is a true statement. In fact, every game type out there has that extra dialogue that is added in there, mostly to push the individual stories of the characters or to expand on the situation throughout the world. The difference is, that in my experience with Western RPGs, most of that fluff is there when you're doing optional side quests. Key word there being "optional." Most of the Western RPGs are more of your open world variety, giving you a much greater chance to completely skip any unnecessary dialogue. It doesn't just pop up when you go into a new area and force you to click through five minutes of ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS talk. It doesn't take a story scene and tack on about 10-15 lines of absolute nonsense.
Extra dialogue like that is fine in small doses, but can become very tiresome when it is everywhere. Just for reference, I am not in any way defending Western RPGs because in my eyes, they suck.
This Cameron Guy is Full of Fluff!!
So, I am sure at this point in the story, the comments will be set ablaze by an army of Otakus hell bent on my destruction. Ranting on and on about how I don't understand Japanese games and blah Blah Blah! Look, guys and girls, I am not Japanese, so there may be some truth to that, but I love Japanese RPGs and I always have. Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Xenosaga, Wild Arms, Atelier, Tales of, the list goes on for days. That doesn't mean though that I don't see fault in each one of them (outside of Suikoden, it is flawless)..(well, so long as you don't count IV and Tactics) and it doesn't mean those faults shouldn't be brought up.
Omega Quintet was mentioned a few times here and even with all the useless fluff in that game, I am still enjoying it; and unlike Heath, I might actually beat it! Well, probably not. So yes, there is fluff around the corner in almost every RPG you play. However, some games just do a better job of giving you enough depth to overcome the extra dialogue while others use that extra dialogue to simply pad game length and avert your eyes away from the problem areas.
Please let me know in the comments what you think. Is the extra fluff getting worse with these newer RPGs or do you think I am just growing out of touch with RPGs?

Hanging at the Palace
With the warm weather we were searching for an indoor activity. Each summer the Pink Palace offers free 3-month memberships. I managed to loose mine but thankfully Tuesday afternoons are also free.
We started the day off with a picnic lunch and then headed to the museum. We were so glad our friends the Tims joined us. We began with the dinosaurs.
Since the last time we were there a new animatronic T-Rex has been added. My boys really liked him. The little girls, not so much.
In order to escape all the evolutionary and old earth content that is contrary to God's Word, we headed up stairs. We were disappointed that the circus wasn't running but we enjoyed visiting Piggly Wiggly.
A grocery store where the kids can only go one direction might be a good plan even today.
Two men were present at the Civil War display. They had guns and uniforms the kids could handle and touch. The best part of any museum is touching things.
Naptime had long since passed, so we decided it was time to go. We headed outside to get a few pictures.
This was the first picture I snapped and the number of kids looking went down from there! 9 out of 12 isn't bad!

It seems Sony is asking gamers what they think of the PSP, which means Sony has no idea what it wants the PSP to be. Do you use it for gaming exclusively, or do you also use it as a media player? Do you exclusively use it as a media player? Will you please buy 10 PSPs and five games per system so we don't close a bunch of divisions? And so on.
Edge, as always, has a pretty keen examination on the state of the PSP, such as it is. It attempts to answer many of those very questions. You can read the whole thing (and you should, it's pretty good), but in a nutshell: Sony needs to put less emphasis on the the PSP's media capabilities and focus on making it a successful gaming machine. Four years after its introduction, and despite several hardware revisions, it's not the sleek piece of hardware it once was; the iPhone is the new shiny object of desire, and it, too, plays movies and music, so there's no use in try to market the PSP as a media device. Sony needs to update it: make it smaller, maybe add a touchscreen, etc. That's the basic argument, and one that's hard to argue against.
As I mentioned yesterday, it's not like the PSP doesn't have any games worth playing. Games like WipeOut: Pulse, Crisis Core and God of War are good clean fun. I don't know, maybe Sony should just kill the UMD altogether and sell games exclusively on the Internet? Do something crazy.
Be bold with the PSP, Sony.

His Kingdom in you and the world

Jesus does not always cast the money-changers out of the temple or immediately cast us out of a money-changing mode of religious captivity. He did this in principle at the cross when Satan was defeated and all who marketed religion were defeated with him.
In this age, 'placing all things under His feet' can be a work that is mainly ours, since He lives in us and manifests as us.
Rather than pump up 'un-gospels' and rationalise their existence with self-generated fictions we are called to pull down strongholds of wrong belief that hollow out the integrity of what is meant to be the gospel of Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
If we are addicted to false identities and false selves, "God's intervention usually entails some sort of tragedy or emotional and intellectual meltdown. God pulls the rug of their spiritual presuppositions out from underneath them. The philosophical, theological, intellectual, and spiritual infrastructure that they have devoted their lives … comes collapsing down around them … It is our faithful Father who engineers these things to hopefully save us from ourselves." (1)
The old covenant has favoured the selling of salvation as indulgences, it's culture promotes proprietary gospels or the promotion of denominations and ministries as mediator of God's grace. Some are brash enough to name themselves 'Stairway'. Other's style themselves as an additional revelation when the one and only revelation has come and is in us: Christ in you.
'I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist' 2 John 1.7 NIV.
There are communities of religion that deny that Christ has come in the flesh. Not overtly of course. Either their ideology has come in the flesh or their withdrawal into the law contradicts the reality of Christ our life. Thousands of Christians spend their lives in half-gospels and 'other gospels' of the kind that cripple their spirit and dull their soul.
The common theme that links forms of godliness is not sin but old covenant living in the new covenant age. In this kind of existence Christ is not our life. We are our life and we attempt to enlist Jesus' help to live it. We attempt to build a self through a contractual relationship with God in which 'We do this so that God will do that.' It's old covenant, it's manipulation and it's the core of every false religion. Jesus, the cross, the resurrection and the Spirit say, 'I have done this so that you can be daughters and sons in spirit and in truth.
Unless we follow Jesus into our new covenant living way we remain in Adam where the deadness of spirit and dullness of mind inhibits our ability to see and hear the truth of our kinship with God. Thus we are contained in the assumptions of the fall and actually extend it as a form of Christianity. As indicated these forms are judgmental, sin obsessed and attractive to the spirit of religion. It fosters leadership that is mediocre, incompetent and often just plain stupid.* Any mode of living that is not Jesus come in the flesh is the flesh come as religion – as a false christ and a pseudo godliness that is a not so cleverly concealed mystery of iniquity. By personally making Christ our life we are casting the money changer spirit out of ourselves and out of the church.
* As the Trump administration illustrates there is a kind of absorption in one's own ideas that is anti-knowledge and anti-truth.

text: Paul821 1,965 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This is my first post in WIP- Aircraft, but having read about the poor quality of the paints and brush supplied with the Airfix starter kits, I thought I would share my experiences of m OOB build of the Airfix 1:72 Gnat purchased from Aldi. A Yellowjack Gnat would not normally be on my build list, as it was not based in East Anglia but this I one of my favourite Airshow moments (Dunsfold 2014) and the Gnats in the photo are based at North Weald. As to the kit At the sprues were given a good dose of washing up liquid and well rinsed as no primer was going to be used. As the build would follow the instructions I decided to pre-paint all the parts shown in the instructions as requiring painting before assembly and hit my first issue The pot of black paint did not have a hinge or opening tab - it also showed signs of leakage! How that was nothing compared to no 11. I opened the pot and found... Rather than the expected Silver a rather fetching shade of light blue/grey. Anyway had plenty of Silver in stock so by the end of the first evening pre-painting complete. As a last question this raises an interesting issue about consumer rights. What (as with this one) I buy a kit make a start on it and then discover at a later stage that the kit was deficient in some way, can I still return it to the retailed for refund/replacement? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
