text: Melissa in Australia 13,133 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 So I found a lump a few weeks ago. It is very small, I was hoping it was a abscess or something and it would go away. this morning I found another lump in a different spot, same breast. I rang the Dr. and got straight in to see her. she couldn't find any lumps but said I had lots of abnormal breast tissue. She said the abnormal tissue is probably a result of breastfeeding many children(5) and having mastitis on that side a few times. She said that I was too young for a mammogram and too young to be worried about breast cancer. I will be 40 in a few months. I have no history of cancer in my family at all. The lumps are very small , one the size of a pea and the other just under that size. Do you think it possible that they could be abnormal breast tissue and as I have just lost weight and my breasts have practically shriveled up to crumpled crapes that I am only feeling the abnormal tissue that has been hidden under a thin layer of fat all these years? the one breast has tissue that feels sort of stringy ( under the skin) while the other doesn't have that feel at all. Has anyone else got abnormal breast tissue that has a sort of stringy lumpy feel and can tell me that it is normal and I will be fine? please? Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, according to LinkedIn, it's Word Salon's four year anniversary today (thank you to those who have sent me a congrats).
I don't usually write posts about me however it does seemly timely to have a brief reflection.
Four years of Word Salon really has been an incredible journey and a massive learning curve.
I happened to be thinking the other day, just how extraordinary it is to be working in a job that is genuinely so enjoyable day after day. That no matter what challenges or tough projects are thrown at me, never cause me to dread my working day or sit down at my computer with a heavy heart. In fact, I just wish there were more hours in the day because there are never enough.
Of course, there are well documented downsides of running your own business. Rarely switching off; no-one to ask for help and the big one; instability of income and business pipeline.
My big worry when I started out was that after many years of working in large, corporate, social environments, surrounded by people and with a management structure, I would be lonely and uninspired. But nothing could be further from the truth. My clients comprise an immensely varied, talented and inspiring bunch of people; and I work with web developers, other marketing specialists and my local networking group offers fantastic companionship and motivation.
I started Word Salon because I had enjoyed four years of full-time mum-time (which was amazing). As school started approaching so did a potential vacuum, so I knew that I needed to work but had a) no confidence and b) no desire to commute or return to a corporate environment.
Thanks to a well-timed lunch date with a wonderfully supportive former colleague, who was pleased to see me moving away from 'poo-washing' (his words for my four years of childcare), I was given some project work that enabled me to gradually build up my confidence. Over a few months it dawned on me that writing was something I loved, and fortunately was reasonably good at, so that was the way to go.
And so now, four years later I consider myself lucky. I have a key contract in mybrink.com – a graduate recruitment website trying to do great things in that market, with fantastic colleagues. I have a new contract with two phenomenal entrepreneurs breaking new ground with their venture. And I have an eclectic mix of other wonderful clients from DJs and photographers to accountants and whisky companies.
So it's a big thank you from me to David Welsh, my clients, my colleagues and my wonderfully supportive local network who continue to recommend and refer Word Salon. Oh and to my husband who often loses me to the emails on my phone (blame my clients!).
For anyone considering starting something new, or going it alone in business and concerned about the risk, the loneliness and the instability I would say this.
If you're in a position to give it a try – go for it. It could be the best move you ever make.

Texas Roadhouse, founded in 1993, is a growing restaurant company operating in the casual dining segment. Today, the Company operates over 580 restaurants in 49 states and 9 countries, including 555 Texas Roadhouse restaurants and 25 Bubba's 33 restaurants. The estate is a mixture of both managed and franchised sites.
The Challenge
Having recently rolled out a complete Ruckus Wireless infrastructure, including 109 access points across 37 of their managed venues, the operator was looking for a way to harness the capabilities of their guest Wi-Fi network to allow them to collect customer data to help enhance their marketing activity. With large volumes of customers visiting the restaurants each day, the marketing team were looking for a solution that would enable them take their digital capability to the next level by using the Wi-Fi data to personalise their engagement with customers.
The key requirements included user-friendly guest login options, the ability to collect both guest demographic data and contact details, including email and cell phone numbers. In addition, the chosen provider needed the capability to push the data directly into Fishbowl, their existing guest marketing and CRM platform.
The Solution
To meet their requirements, Texas Roadhouse selected Wireless Social to implement their guest Wi-Fi authentication and analytics platform. The Wireless Social cloud-based solution integrates natively with most leading wireless hardware, including Ruckus. Due to the ease of installation on the existing equipment, Wireless Social were able to complete the rollout remotely, with each site taking only a few hours to deploy.
Once enabled, the Wireless Social's dedicated team set up and configured all of the available features, ensuring the service was as 'light touch' as possible for the restaurant operator so that they could focus on conducting their day-to-day activities.
The features available in the Wireless Social service include a branded user login page with a drag and drop design tool, social media login options with the ability to gather key customer data, such as name, email address, location, demographic profile, and interests, a customisable registration form, and the ability to direct users to promotional pages or social media sites.
All of the data collected is available in the Wireless Social reporting dashboard where the operator can view key performance metrics such as number of Wi-Fi users, busiest venues, users by day, user demographic breakdown, and a complete CRM section where the guest profiles can be viewed.
Wireless Social also have a longstanding partnership with Fishbowl and a direct API integration, enabling all of the data collected to be pushed each day into email marketing lists for each of the venues to enable targeted guest engagement campaigns to drive more repeat visits from existing customers.
The Results
Wireless Social provided Texas Roadhouse with a friction-free deployment of a secure Wi-Fi connection across a number of their restaurants, whilst also providing the tools they need to increase their data collection, and to personalise their guest engagement. Since the installation, Texas Roadhouse have seen over 198,000 customers connect to the Wi-Fi which has generated around 127,000 new contacts which can be included in the ongoing marketing campaigns. Over the past 12 months, Texas Roadhouse have also seen a steady increase in the number of returning customers to their restaurants when we compared the number of return visits, month on month, between January 2018 and January 2019.
"I am really happy with the ease of implementation, the exceptional service and the proactive thinking that the team at Wireless Social provides…
…We are also very excited to implement some of their exciting new features such as Tripadvisor Review Express where we hope to boost our review collections, plus integrating the data collected with our social media advertising to reconnect with our guests after they've visited"

The Goo Goo Dolls Concert Review: All About The Fans
John Reznik is the self proclaimed "love song guy." The lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls has written a good many of them. He covered this topic in his first ten minutes on the intimate stage at The Mountain Winery, a venue with picturesque views in Saratoga.
His new mushy offering "All That You Are," has been climbing the charts and was featured in the newest Transformers movie. Right before Rzeznik launched into the catchy single he explained "I wasn't gonna write this one, then they put the checkbook to my head so…" Rzeznik's rock star swagger along with his distinctive voice and talented band made for an entertaining night.
Fellow Warner Brothers recording artist Michelle Branch took the stage first and ran through her songbook that includes a little bit of rock and a touch of country. Branch has always been a solid performer and makes her way through the Bay Area many times each year. She always connects with the audience immediately and it was no different on this cool summer night. The audience was on their feet when she launched into "Breathe," and gave an equally enthusiastic reaction when the chords of "Pick up the Pieces," were struck.
No doubt Branch's country days are missed by the fans. The reaction she got was still positive but once she made way for Rzeznik the subdued Winery audience erupted. The band started out quickly with a few recognizable songs. Dozens of beach balls were thrown into the crowd and the party began.
The Goo Goo Dolls have been hard at work as of late. Touring non stop, putting out two albums, and releasing another hit single. "Something For The Rest Of Us," was just released and was preceded by a live album that covered their show in Soho. Much of the night's material was off the new disc, and surprisingly, some of the fans were singing the new stuff as confidently as the old hits.
The show wrapped up in 90 minutes. They went by quickly. Some of the songs start to blend together as the band does have a unique sound. It's the same sound that's an immediate identifier for radio listeners, but the sound gets redundant.
It was Rzeznik's personality which not only made the show more memorable, but it also gave the music a different dimension. He made the audience feel like they were in on a secret. That they got a behind the scenes look into what created the songs and band that they have become such fans of. The Bay Area music scene is full of choices but the Goo Goo Dolls always sell out whichever venue they choose to stop in. That has much to do with the music but more to do with the connection they make with their fans.Recommend0 recommendationsPublished in Music, Music News

Litigation Release No. 19586 / March 2, 2006
SEC v. Alan Cao and Jun Shi, Civil Action No. CV 06-1269 (RCx) (C.D. Cal.)
SEC Files Insider Trading Action Against Former VPs of Countrywide Financial Corp.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed insider trading charges today in federal district court in Los Angeles, Calif. against two former vice presidents of Countrywide Financial Corp. The Commission's complaint alleges that Alan Cao, age 37, of Woodland Hills, Calif., and Jun Shi, age 42, of Moorpark, Calif., traded in Countrywide stock while aware of confidential negative earnings information. Cao and Shi agreed to settle the charges, without admitting or denying the allegations, by repaying their ill-gotten trading profits and paying a monetary penalty of a like amount, for a total of approximately $100,000 for Cao and $40,000 for Shi.
On October 20, 2004, Countrywide issued a press release announcing that its third quarter earnings per share were $0.94, compared to $1.93 the year before. That day, Countrywide's stock price fell 11.5% and trading volume increased 307%. The Commission's complaint alleges that by mid-October 2004, Cao, a vice president of financial planning, had learned that Countrywide's third quarter earnings results were negative and that Countrywide would announce revised downward earnings guidance. The complaint further alleges that on October 19, Cao, betting that Countrywide's stock price would decline after the company's negative earnings announcement, sold short (i.e., borrowed and then sold) 15,000 Countrywide shares. A few hours after the October 20 earnings announcement, when Countrywide's stock price had declined, Cao purchased 15,000 Countrywide shares to cover the borrowed shares, for an illegal profit of $48,352.
The Commission's complaint further alleges that Cao twice tipped Shi, a first vice president of finance in Countrywide's treasury bank division, with Countrywide's nonpublic negative earnings information. After the first tip, Shi sold 2,300 Countrywide shares, thereby avoiding losses of $11,567 that he otherwise would have incurred. After the second tip, Shi sold short 2,000 Countrywide shares, which he covered a few hours after the October 20 announcement, for a profit of $8,461. By engaging in such trading, Cao and Shi breached their duty to Countrywide not to trade on the basis of confidential corporate information.
To settle the Commission's charges, Cao and Shi consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining each from future violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Cao agreed to pay $48,352 in disgorgement of his illegal trading profits, prejudgment interest of $1,267, and a civil money penalty of $48,352. Shi agreed to pay $20,028 in disgorgement of his illegal trading profits, prejudgment interest of $525, and a civil money penalty of $20,028.
The Commission acknowledges the assistance of the New York Stock Exchange in the investigation of this matter.

I use green star vinyl and need to know what is the best clear tape to use. Also looking into the Big Squeegees. I do not do this enough to justify spending $100 so will the other Big Squeegees work just fine? Again Thank you all for so much help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The RightScoop nails this whiny sad excuse for a Tennessean as he embarrasses himself and us on the Senate floor.
This is the full exchange between Sen. Bob Corker and Sen. Ted Cruz where Corker suggests that Cruz and Lee are holding up the vote on the CR until tomorrow just so they can be on TV. But more than that Corker plays dumb on voting for cloture tomorrow, suggesting that a vote for cloture (ending debate) is a vote in support of the House CR.
But that's completely dishonest because as soon as they vote to end debate on the House CR, Reid is going to propose an amendment to strip out the House language that defunds Obamacare and it can't be filibustered. It will pass with a simple majority. Corker knows this but plays off the simple majority amendment process that Reid will invoke as something that's been around for ages and nothing to be concerned about. But Cruz continues to point out to Corker that a vote for cloture tomorrow will indeed be a vote to give Harry Reid the power to fully fund Obamacare.
Also watch to the very end, just past Durbin's little speech, and you'll see Corker throw both Cruz and Lee completely under the bus, siding with Durbin. It's disgusting.

Dec. 26, 1942
I got your Christmas gift, and, darling, I never got such a thrill out of a gift before. I'm crazy about it, because it's something I can always have with me. I never have to leave it behind, no matter where I go or what I'm doing, I can always have your first Christmas present to me. It fits perfectly; and I, too, wish you could have put it on my finger for me.
Didn't do much the 24th. We had the day off, so I slept until about 10:00. Then I went over to the main post and got a haircut, then went over and visited the guy who used to be my roommate back at the 115th. Yesterday, I went into Manhattan and had dinner with Cochran and his wife.
Tonite, I'm going into J.C. and get the dope on a ticket from Portland for my girl friend, or I should say, my sweetheart. I think she's going to come and see me.
By the way, I just barely did get my gift. I got back to the barracks at about 5 minutes till six, and got the card that it was over at the express office, which closes at six. Just barely got there in time, thank the Lord!
Darling, my ride to town is waiting, so I'll close and mail this in town.
Thank you, darling, for the ring. I'm saving the bell, as you said to. Will write more tomorrow.
I love you, darling. Good night.
Your loving

Janin Stenzel October 25, 2018Amazing place!! Way beyond my expectations...
...and my expectations were high! After visiting their website I was convinced to book my first yoga holiday at Kranti Yoga and I couldn't have found a better place to relax and connect with myself. Kranti Yoga is a beautiful place right by the sea, full of chill-out lounges and yoga and meditation platforms (there is even a tree house where we would do our morning breathing meditation). I am still blown away by the beautiful and loving atmosphere - no music needed, you could feel the harmony. The staff was sweet and helping out wherever they could, the cottages were clean and charmingly arranged with everything you need to feel at home (I loved the hammock and swinging chair) and the kitchen team did an incredible job...every meal was a sensation!! My husband and I enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions very much (the teachers were amazing - Thank you Eve and Kara!) and we can't wait to come back again. Thank you Kranti Yoga for an extraordinary experience!!
Vlatka Matkovic October 16, 2018Most valuable 4 days in my life
Charming place at the Goa beach, fabulous-delicious-yummy food, friendly staff, amazing teachers. Packed agenda with yoga practice and meditation, but in the same time with so much easy and zero stress. I came with severe upper back problems that lasted for years, and get out of it with no pain at all. It truly changed my life.
Natalie Millar Jadhav October 11, 2018Amazing yoga and location
Brilliant yoga teachers, top quality classes. Very organised and reliable schedule. Location in a village and directly on the ocean front is to die for. The food is fantastic. Only downside is the presence of many insects and no cleaning materials to sweep the room or repel the bugs. But this is high quality yoga and I really hope to be back again! It's totally the yoga dream place.
Mariah Robinson May 22, 2018A wonderful place
Kranti Yoga was a wonderful place to experience my first yoga retreat/yoga holiday. The classes were challenging but able to be adapted to beginners. All of the instructors were warm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about their practice. The atmosphere was calm, relaxing, and beautiful.
Hillary Newediuk May 15, 2018Amazing!!!
I loved every single second at Kranti! The shala staff were phenomenal, from accommodating requests to keeping the shala spotless - you couldn't ask for anything better. I completed my 200 hour Ashtanga-Vinyasa Teacher Training and am confident with the skills I learned at Kranti to teach a yoga class. Our lead teacher Vicki Reynolds was one of the most inspiring teachers I've ever had (university professors included) she really knows how to teach. All of the other teachers were fantastic as well (Steph, Alex, Ida, Grace, Faye, Enzo, Didier, Fran, Laura, Julia, Lisa). The food was great, and with the shala being a few steps from the beach you can't ask for anything better! Already planning my next trip back to Kranti for my 300 hour YTT :D
Claire Beath May 10, 2018The Best Of The Best
Kranti Yoga is the place to be if you're looking to begin or to progress as a teacher. The caliber of Teacher Trainers there are absolutely priceless. I recently finished my 300hr YTT here and I loved every single second of it. I initially had reservations about doing the course through Kranti Yoga as it is a very western yoga school, but was pleasantly surprised to find the perfect blend of essential western teaching menthodology with traditional Indian culture and philosophy. You will not only learn about in-depth anatomy, adjustment and alignment, indian philopshy and practices, you will also deepen your personal practice to the next level under constructive guidance. The accomodation was fab, the food was amazing and you're right on the beach. What more could you want?! I'm forever greatful for my experience at Kranti.
Katie Hotchkiss April 29, 2018100 hours Yin Yoga
I did my 100 hours Yin Yoga teacher training in April on my second Visit to Kranti. The content and structure of the course was great with amazing teachers to guide through the course material. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to deepen and add to their practice, a great addition after 200hours Ashtanga/ Vinyasa. Good Vibes at Kranti Yoga ✨????????????
Dada Slavkovska April 24, 2018Intensive course
Spent almost 3 weeks in Kranti Village this April on an intensive course and I must say it was worth every penny (or euro in my case????). Great accommodation, even better food and yoga classes all day long. My course entitled me to one hour one-2-one class each day focused on ashtanga primary series asanas and their correct alignments and modifications which was super helpfull and I'm forever grateful to Ida for being a great and patient teacher:) Definitely recomment Kranti as a place to enjoy both yoga and beach chill out time.
Anna Ingenbleek March 10, 2018Paradise
I found Paradise! I can't describe how happy I am that I found Kranti Yoga. After travelling for so long to many countries I got to India. I knew that there had to be a place like I had found in Indonesia before. A place where you just feel at home. As soon as I entered I was overwhelmed by its beauty, peacefulness, love in every detail, friendlyness of the staff people, rooms.... the Yoga teachers are very well trained, the program is great if you want to experience or deepen Yoga and Meditation. Best Food. Everybody smiling. I am coming back.

Metering and Meter Reading
Existing utility meters can be read either remotely or manually for each billing cycle. In addition to normal cycle readings, ad-hoc readings are carried out as required when owners or tenants finalise or change their account status. Consumption is analysed to identify any faulty meters and to provide advice to the body corporate on the need to have meters tested or replaced. SAS has a team of experienced meter readers to carry out manual reads.
Accounts are produced and issued for all residents at the end of the bill cycle and for any final accounts as required. The pensioner rebate will be applied to the account for any eligible unit occupiers. If required by the body corporate, or if additional utilities are to be billed, the invoice template can be adjusted. Billing is typically monthly for commercial properties and either monthly or quarterly for residential lots. However, this can be changed by the body corporate for a cycle that is most appropriate for their needs. There is also a wide range of payment options available for clients.
A quarterly performance report is produced for the information of the body corporate committee. This report identifies total consumption, total amount billed by lot type, and the savings being made by the body corporate.
Administration Charges
For information on current charges click here.
Bank Accounts
Monies collected are transferred initially to a holding account. Each month, all electricity charges are transferred to the nominated body corporate account.
Debt Management
SAS works within the requirements of Annexure A to the Electricity Industry Code when processing unpaid bills. This document specifies the timelines for the issuing of reminder, disconnection warning and disconnection notices. Where invoices remain unpaid, our debt collection process will begin. This includes a series of notices or outbound calls followed by physical disconnection of the supply. Any costs associated with late payment of fees are the responsibility of the user.
Security deposit
The security deposit nominated by the body corporate is placed as an individual line item on the invoice. A report of security deposits held is available for body corporate use. The amount and conditions applicable for a security deposit will be included in the Welcome Letter you will receive. Once paid, security deposits are recorded in the body corporate financials as a line item.
Customer Management
A contact number will be provided for our client's customers or the body corporate to manage tenant changes to billing and payment enquiries. This number is highlighted on the bill with the hours of operation being from 8:30am to 5:00pm on business days. Customers are encouraged to use our enquiries email address (firstname.lastname@example.com) for non urgent requests, as all enquiries via this channel are tracked.
Rebate Management
It is very important to consider the management of the rebate application process to ensure eligible customers receive their rebates. Our process ensures eligible residents receive the rebate credits from their bulk supply retailer.
Energy Contract and Tariff Management
Under this offer SAS will provide, free of charge, a Tariff Assessment and report on potential savings from the transition from franchise tariff to market contract. In addition, SAS will review the body corporate processes to ensure compliance with on-seller legislation. We also run and negotiate the energy tender on your behalf and the National Electricity Market (NEM) contract for bulk electricity at a fee to be negotiated at the time.
Energy Efficiency Audits and Energy Management Services
SAS can provide additional services that highlight recommendations to implement energy efficient initiatives. These additional services all relate to utilities such as metering, electricity, gas, hot and cold water and even solar power.

NSDF 19 Bursary Programme
7 December 2018
Guest Director James Phillips announces new Bursary Programme for NSDF '19 and reduction in ticket prices for Management, Technical and Noises Off Teams.
NSDF is a unique and precious thing, a charity that has helped generations of talented young people of all backgrounds find their home within the arts.
Which is why I'm delighted that my first act as Guest Director of NSDF is to give things away.
This year NSDF will be providing bursaries for one hundred free festival tickets, to those who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to come to the Festival.
NSDF will also be cutting the price of tickets for all members of the Management, Technical and Noises Off Teams. A ticket for anyone who is accepted as part of these vital Festival Teams (and invaluable learning experiences) will now be half price. (£60 reduced from £120)
NSDF is about widening access to the arts, about empowering new generations to make new things. It is a festival that aspires to make what should happen, actually happen.
I took over NSDF on Monday. This week we've spoken to lots of people directly about the cost of coming to the Festival - people we care about, whose opinions we trust, who have taken time to speak to us and write to us about individual situations. If I could then I'd offer the Festival to everyone for free. But I can't. This is what we can do and so we're going to do it.
These are incredibly difficult financial times- for small charities like ours as well as for individuals- and we can't do all of the things we want to.
The things I'm announcing today are small steps which show our ambition and it's thanks to the incredible generosity of the Arts Patrons' Trust that this year we are able to offer the largest ever bursary programme in the history of the Festival.
NSDF can be a life changing week. Selector and Theatre Maker Chris Thorpe has written a blog that explains why: 5 Reasons You Should Go To NSDF '19.
We want to help those who most need it. So we will be asking for a few details so we can assess those most in need. Here's the page where you can apply for a bursary.
If we manage to raise more money, we will use it to make the Festival more affordable for more people. Equally, if you're someone who's fortunate enough to be able to pay, please do so. And if you're one of the fortunate few who could give a few extra pounds in order to give someone not so lucky the chance to come along, then please donate.
NSDF '19 is going to brave, bold and brilliant: bringing together some of the most exciting and accomplished professionals working in the British Theatre and a vibrant new generation of emerging young artists, critics, producers, technicians, administrators and audience members.
We hope you can join us.
NSDF: Be Part of Something.

Joining the ranks of politicians from Martinsville, Indiana (a list that includes two Indiana governors) is Indiana Senator Richard Bray, a long term political leader who is no stranger to public office. Born in March of 1931 in Martinsville, Richard Bray is a lifelong Hoosier, military veteran, and family man who still practices law in his home town. Upon his graduation from Martinsville High School, Bray migrated to Bloomington, Indiana to attend Indiana University. He spent a lot of time at the Indiana college; he earned his Bachelor of Arts from IU as well as his Juris Doctorate degree.
Before he began his career in Indiana politics, Richard Bray served his country honorably in the United States Army, and later as a major in the Indiana National Guard. However, it wasn't long before Bray entered the world of legislature. Using his law degree, he was elected to the post of Morgan County Prosecuting Attorney in 1958, a position he held until 1970. Bray returned to his Martinsville law practice after giving up the prosecutor position in 1970, but he couldn't stay away from Hoosier politics for long. Four years later, he ran for a seat in the Indiana House of Representatives, an office which he won. Richard Bray was an Indiana State Representative for 18 years, from 1974 to 1992, and Indiana voters saw fit to push Bray to an Indiana Senate seat in 1992.
Representing Senate District 37 (which includes parts of Owen, Putnam, Morgan, Clay, Johnson, and Monroe counties), Richard Bray has been a member of the Indiana State Senate for eighteen years so far, equaling his term as an Indiana State Representative. Throughout the course of his time in the Senate, Bray has been a member of many committees and councils, including the Appointments and Claims committee, an Energy & Environmental Affairs committee, and is a ranking member of the Indiana State Senate's Ethics committee. This famous Martinsville person is also the Assistant Majority Caucus Chair, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and is a ranking member on the Commission on the Courts. Married with three children, Richard Bray has somehow found a way to balance an involved life in politics with his family and local law practice.

Since 2017, Morrisons has been in partnership with CLIC Sargent, raising millions of pounds for young lives facing cancer. The partnership has now been extended for an additional year, and has already raised an amazing £10 million, meaning CLIC Sargent has been able to support thousands of families following a cancer diagnosis. The additional money raised from the fourth year of the partnership will fund a new CLIC Sargent Home from Home near the Christie Hospital in Manchester.
Services Funded by Morrisons
Morrisons is funding five Nurse Educators to teach doctors and nurses in community hospitals across the UK how to care for young cancer patients. CLIC Sargent knows that enabling confident and safe cancer care to happen closer to home means so much to young people. It means less disruption to family life, less costly travel to appointments and easier reintegration to employment or education.
It means children like Aaron, 3, can get his chemotherapy treatment at home. Aaron has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, which means he will be on treatment until February 2021. That treatment involves weekly and sometimes daily round trips of 20 miles from the family home in Dudley to Birmingham Children's Hospital. As mum, Rajdeep doesn't drive, it means a two hour trip on public transport or a costly £30 taxi ride. Not only do those costs start to add up, but the time away from Rajdeep's 10-year-old daughter puts a huge strain on family life.
But thanks to our Nurse Educator for the midlands, Aaron can now have his chemo at home. She spent three days at home with Rajdeep, Aaron and a community nurse where she demonstrated the most effective an safe way to treat Aaron. Rajdeep said:
"The nurse educator spent a long time with us making sure we all understood exactly how the treatment works so both the nurse and I felt comfortable. It is so good that we don't have to travel to Birmingham all the time now because the nurse can come to us. Aaron is comfortable and happy in his home and I am happy because he is happy."
Thanks to Morrisons, over 400 families have used our 'Home Comforts' offer at our Home from Homes. They are parents who are living at their child's bedside in cramped hospitals wards, or young people who desperately want to reconnect with friends over reliable Wi-Fi – which isn't often available in hospitals.
Eric Coates, Manager of Paul's House in London, said:
"This service has been a godsend for our families. They can't believe something so precious is available to them to use for free. They are happy to be able to cook something tailored to their child because they find it quite difficult to find the right stuff for their tastes - either because of cultural needs or because their child has particular cravings. They always say it is amazing that they can use the house, and that is something we could not have done without Morrisons."
Practical Things
Money worries, trouble concentrating at school, fears over return to work. These are the hidden costs of a cancer diagnosis and the impact on young lives is very real. But Morrisons is helping us be there to help out with some practical things that can make life with cancer that bit more bearable. We have been able to give out over 6,200 grants thanks to Morrisons, which means families can spend less time worrying about money.
It isn't just money that helps. We have launched the first phase of our brand new website with thanks to Morrisons. The site has more useful information than you can shake a stick at, and will be a first point of call for young people wanting information when and where they need it. And 2,155 members of our online support groups can now share advice off the wards, thanks to funding for our digital services from Morrisons. To read two mum's experiences of why these online groups are so vital, watch the video below.

The Chronicles of Valana Volume 2: Elaria's Bane
by AB
Chapter 5
Starry night, stormy night
"I hate that we had to leave Norion, Terastil and Uragoth behind in Oghelle." Aer'andil complained yet again for the umpteenth time.
"Terastil is usually correct about these things."
"I know his plan. I do not like leaving Norion in that nest of vipers."
"You approved of it."
"Doesn't mean I like it."
"We'll arrive in in Halmeran's port city by nightfall and low tide. We'll rest there and make our way for the Orkhavoc city of Saghe tomorrow. It should take us two days to get there."
"Minaroth…it has already been two days and I miss him."
"You are our High-King, act like it." There were only a few people that could talk to Aer'andil like this. He accepted this only from his mother, Norion, Tha'ala, Feldon and Minaroth. "He'll be okay. He is by no means defenseless and he has two of our best warriors with him."
"I didn't think you'd agree to this plan." Aer'andil tried to chuckle. "Leaving me with only two guardians."
"You ordered it. I may consult you, I may agree or disagree but the moment you order me to do something that's that, it's the King's order." Minaroth spoke calmly with a serious tone.
"You didn't think even for a moment to disobey me and have Terastil and Uragoth come with us?" Aer'andil raised an eyebrow.
"This is something that you seem to have problems grasping my King. Perhaps the young of your age, perhaps the years you spent in that other world. You are my King and you are our High-King. I may agree or disagree with your orders but I will complete them or die trying. To disobey a direct order from the King is treason. There is no sentiment or like or dislike an order. If it is given it is given and must be carried out to completion or death. If you give me orders that counter my personal ethics I will still, follow them but you will lose my respect and care. If you order me to do something that is completely insanely illegal and will result in harming our people and I have no other choice than to commit treason I prefer to go all the way and remove you from the throne." Aer'andil's head snapped as he turned to stare into her relentless eyes in utter shock. "I do not think it will ever come to that, your orders so far are not worse than your father's ever were. So far you have our respect, mine and the others'. We also understand that for all of Terastil's strategic brilliance you are playing on a chess board that we do not comprehend, so maybe some of your orders may sound outlandish or crazy to us but we trust that you know what you're doing and eventually the outcome will benefit our people."
Aer'andil remained silent for a while. "I do not know what the outcome will be, what I do know though is that if we lose…there won't be much of anything left for you to kill me or otherwise remove me from the throne." Minaroth detected pain and ever the slightest trace of doubt in the tone of his voice.
"I feel tired. I think I'll turn in for the night. Goodnight Minaroth, may the stars guide your dreams and the moon guide your spirit." Aer'andil saluted his tutor and guardian in the traditional Gel'Glidorn way.
Minaroth actually smiled, a faint smile but a smile nonetheless. "Sleep well my King, I'll watch over you with Belevod."
Aer'andil nodded and stood up to leave. "Can I ask you a question?" Minaroth asked him.
"I never like it when you ask if you can ask a question." Aer'andil laughed.
"Sometimes I like the answers you give. Is there ever a moment you wish you could return back to that other world you were sent to?"
"No. Sure there are moments when I wish I did not have to make difficult decisions or when I wish there was not so much Darkness, suffering and death in the world but no, I do not want to go back to Earth, to the other world. Here is where I belong, amongst my people. I am an elf and I will do whatever I must to protect the Elves…and even the Humans from whatever may lurk in the shadows and all the dark places of the world."
"Yes, sometimes I do like the answers you give. Sweet dreams Aer'andil son of Liandras, may the spirits watch over your dreams and the flame that burns within you cast away the shadows from your soul." She bowed her head.
Aer'andil nodded and walked across the ship's deck to the cabins. It was such a lovely starry night, not a cloud anywhere with the sea bathing in the reflections of all the stars and cosmic light. There was no wind thus making the Captain of the ship have his men row to keep them travelling and not wander aimlessly across the sea currents.
"Such an interesting thing." Minaroth thought to herself. "Valana is almost always windy, almost always there's a good enough wind to sail across the sea to whichever destination. Here it seems the moment we crossed Blagar point the wind died out almost instantly."
"Captain, is it normal to not have wind down here?" She asked the Captain who had come out of his cabin to make his rounds before turning in for the night.
"Aye, this time of year the marches to the east and the hot weather coming from the west cut down the wind here. We should have some wind after we cross the Serpent's Bastion." He replied making gestures and pointing at unseen things to illustrate what he was saying. His other hand caressing his long black-haired beard.
"Thank you Captain." Minaroth closed her eyes entering a meditative state to communicate with her spirit.
Oghelle, The Royal Palace two days ago.
"He…he left without me?" Norion asked. He looked more hurt than angry.
"Yes, you are required here with me and Uragoth." Terastil replied closing the door behind him.
"Why? I should be by his side." Norion stated stubbornly placing his hands on his hips, his left foot tapping the floor.
Terastil gave Uragoth a nod with his head. Uragoth threw a rune on the floor and crushed it with his foot. An invisible barrier covered the room.
"Now that we can talk more privately in this nest of vipers and Darkness…" Terastil sat on one of the chairs in the room motioning for Norion to do the same.
Norion sat crossing his hands in front of his chest looking cross.
"Let's talk then, shall we?" Uragoth spoke, standing behind Terastil. "A Darkness sits in the throne of Elaria and wants to throw us all into war, Elaria and Valana alike." Norion knew the older Elven Lord was somber and serious but he had never known him to be so grim as he looked now.
"What are we going to talk of then?" Norion gulped asking the two guardians.
"Death and Deception and not necessarily in that order." Terastil replied leaning forward.
Oghelle, Outskirts Cottage two days ago.
Orphon woke up feeling chilly, the sheets having fallen off him during the night. He looked to his left propping up on his elbow. Next to him Vashka stirred.
Orphon looked at the sleeping boy, his lithe stocky body shinning under the morning sun's rays. Now Orphon could see Vashka's three-inch penis resting above his thirteen-year-old bare pubic mount.
Orphon knew his father preferred male lovers. He knew that he had married his mother because he had to. He knew for a year now that he liked girls even if he had not yet done much of anything with anyone but looking at Vashka now made him feel horny and odd, all tickling like. He knew he wasn't falling for the boy or anything as dramatic and that his teenage hormones needed an outlet and Vashka's lean, sexy-looking body was making him feel all worked up.
His heart racing and his hand shaking he traced it along the boy's treasure trail feeling the smooth skin below his touch. He could feel his four-inch dick hardening under the soft breeze coming in from the open window and the lustful feelings Vashka was unknowingly giving him.
He gulped and groped Vashka's bits, starting with his now erect phallus before giving the tight ballsack a gentle squeeze. He heard the younger boy moan softly in his sleep giving him pause for a second before he proceeded to jerking off the erect yet smooth and lightly veined boystick between his fingers.
It didn't last long as seconds later Vashka let out a longer, deeper moan and thrust his hips up. A second later a couple of drops of a clear liquid landed on his fingers.
Orphon brought it closer to his face, curious if the young boy's cum would taste like his. After smelling it some he brought it to his lips and gave it a lick. He found the taste not unpleasant, less earthy than his and quickly licked the rest of it.
He was feeling so horny that all inhibition left him, whisked out his hard nail and started pulling on it furiously, sure that the other boy was fast asleep.
Seconds later he felt his testicles tightening close to his hard dick and then euphoria overtook him as he spilled his seed over his stomach.
"Wow that was hot let me tell you and thank you for the service." Orphon snapped his neck to see a very awake Vashka taking a dip from his stomach, bringing the finger to his lips and tasting it out. Vashka couldn't help himself from laughing his admittedly cute behind off from how Orphon jumped nearly out of his skin from his surprise.
"Oh man that was just hilarious!" Vashka bellowed laughing as Orphon recovered and launched himself at the younger boy tickling him.
Gel'anr, Royal Palace. Present.
"My Queen, you asked for me?" Tha'ala knocked on the door that lead to the Queen's private garden.
"Come in, dear." Tha'ala closed the door behind her. It was a lovely garden with flowers and trees that provided shade. A round table with two chairs were under one of the trees with a paved floor beneath it. The garden was quiet except for the sound of the breeze on the leaves of the trees and a stream that ran through the garden.
"The birds are quiet now, asleep. They wake up later on. Oh do call me Felwyn my dear, you have my son's heart you can have my name instead of the trivialities of the court." Felwyn told her. Tha'ala nodded smiling.
"Now, why I asked you here and why my son asked you to stay behind. Please sit." Felwyn sat in one of the two chairs and poured them some orange juice.
"I am to teach you illusions and I am to teach you diplomacy and court dealing…as you'll find out the two have more similarities than differences. Your training on creating and sustaining magical illusions will have to wait until tomorrow, for now I've asked the ambassador of Fadr to come join us." Felwyn just looked at the door for a couple of seconds then the doors opened and the Royal Guards let in a human. He looked more of a boy than a man.
"Yras Vendril, youngest son of the King of Fadr, newly appointed Ambassador of Fadr to the Elven lands at your disposal my Queen." The lad made a courtesy bow standing a few meters away from them. Felwyn smiled, Yras could not take his eyes off Tha'ala.
"Pleased to meet you young one, I'd like you to transfer this to your father, the King of Fadr. Tell him that if he joins Oghelle's war against the Orkhavocs my son will be most displeased."
"My Queen. I have no…"
"Do not lie to me Yras, I was not born yesterday. The ears and eyes of Gel'anr see all."
"Very well then, Oghelle is giving us substantial privileges if we do. What does Gel'anr and the alliance have to offer? You do not usually meddle in the affairs of men."
"Bold man aren't you?" Felwyn stated more than asked. "Whatever privileges you earn by this, privileges that you lost in the last war by joining Zah Dah you will lose completely from us. For now, your merchants are blockaded by entering alliance ports. Sign this deal with Oghelle and Fadr will be completely embargoed by all Valanan ports and Kingdoms. Also I am quite sure that Eri'Adar and Rodania will not allow this to happen. Oghelle is a key trading partner of theirs."
"They cannot stop us." Yras stated stubbornly.
"It is not often that Human Kingdoms that are rivals like Eri'Adar and Rodania join forces but I think they will for this. Can Fadr withstand their combined military? I think they can carve up the land nicely between them. Eri'Adar gets all the lands below the river Laval and Rodania gets everything to the north, allowing them for a land passage to the Kingdom of Batorn. Eri'Adar gets a safe port in the east and everyone's happy…everyone except for Fadr that is. You do know what Rodania likes to do with the Royal families of those they conquer yes?" Yras' look changed in a blink of an eye. He knew that Rodania killed the Royal families of their conquered lands. A safety measure against future insurgencies, rebellions or retaliations.
"T…they'll not know." Yras tried to work his way out of the bind.
"Yes, they will. I will make sure of it. My son wants the Orkhavocs secure and unharmed and I will do my utmost to make sure that my son and his plans succeed." Felwyn stated back. "Now, we can exchange hostilities and…mostly empty threats all day or you can go back to your father and tell him what I told you with this. If you do not accept to enter on the side of Oghelle in this endeavor, stay in general away from Elaria for now, I can convince my son to stop blockading your merchants from Alliance ports."
"How certain is this?"
"It can become a lot more certain if you come back with a written promise from your king. I am part of the regency council and my son will not disagree on this I am sure."
"Very well then I shall pass this to my father. Is there anything else you need of me my Lady?" Yras asked a lot less tense than before.
"No, that will be all, thank you Yras of Fadr. I only have one question. Are you related to Tarak Vendril?"
"Yes, unfortunately he is my cousin. Why are you asking if I may ask? What did he do this time?"
"A few months ago he attacked my son on his way to Dara…he is not in the world of the living anymore, my condolences."
"Ah, thank you for your consideration my Queen, but all I have to say is good riddance, he was a blight and a disgrace to our family." Yras shrugged his shoulders and left.
"This was…interesting." Tha'ala stated.
"Yes, you served your purpose here as well as learning something new about diplomacy."
"My purpose?"
"Yes, he could not stop himself from ogling at you, constantly."
Tha'ala's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. "Butbutbutbut -she groaned-…I am…uhm…I and Aer'andil…ehhh…" She blushed heavily.
Felwyn laughed. "Yes, but he does not need to know this and you of course are the next High-Queen of all Elves. Your legs open only for my son this is true, but this does not mean that you cannot…tease and play with the humans if it serves the Elves, your husband and our agenda against the Darkness. Appearing available by no means does it actually mean that you are available." Felwyn winked at her before standing up.
"Come now, help me out with the weeds in my garden please." Tha'ala nodded and stood up.
South west of Saghe, close to the Serpent's Bastion, present.
"This is…huge. This is the Serpent's Bastion? We can see it from open sea!" Aer'andil gasped at seeing the gigantic construction extending beyond the horison.
"It is, aye. Protects us from the heathen hordes…I do not like those clouds in the horison though. I hope we arrive at Saghe soon, before that storm reaches us."
Aer'andil looked to the west to where the Captain was looking .
"That's no normal storm…I can smell it in the air…Captain is there anywhere safe near here where we can take refuge?" The Captain shook his head negatively.
"This whole stretch of land to the south of the Kingdom of Hordivar up to Saghe is full of underwater reefs and treacherous sea currents, to boot there are no natural harbours or beaches down here, only sheer rock cliffs. We either turn back to Hordivar's south port of Lakost or Limenodor, both are days back west."
"No, stay on course…we have no time to lose." Aer'andil told the Captain who looked worried.
"Then we can only hope it doesn't head our way." Aer'andil shook his head.
"No, Captain, it is heading straight for us, make what preparations you must. Minaroth, Belevod t nivadol thel cieda." He told his guardians who hearing their king order them to prepare for battle sprang from where they stood and started casting magical wards and whatnot.
"Helmsman take us closer to the shore, pull the rigging men and gather the top sails, we're in for rough weather." The Captain started barking orders to his men while Aer'andil retrieved the bow from his shoulder.
As the hours passed they could see the black cloud front reaching ever closer and closer until it was upon them with hurricane force winds, rain and thunder.
Finally, the storm was upon them, ferocious and foreboding. The rigging cracked and whipped under the severe wind's pressure, the sails flapping about as if crying under the strain.
Aer'andil could hear it in the wind and the sea, the whispers dark and malicious.
"Hana zah divakir ugr vig Irmil!" The shadows have come for you, the disembodied voice whispered in the wind, a female otherworldly, hushed voice. "Hana kaagri vig hana Fosgvern divok ugr rudir thargul"
"The bane of the Elves has come for your soul" Aer'andil whispered. "You want my soul foul being? Well come and get it!" He screamed at the wind.
There was a laughter that everyone heard, more of a screech making everyone cover their ears.
The wind continued to howl with increasing speed and ferocity.
"We must turn back! My Lord we won't make it in this weather!" Belevod tried to yell so that Aer'andil would hear him.
"We can't get back, don't even know which way is back or forth in this weather. We're at the mercy of the wind and sea now, and this ship won't last for mu…" The Captain replied with his sentence cut off by a huge wave that crashed on to the side of the ship sending them flying back. Two members of the crew flew into their watery grave.
"Look! There!" Aer'andil pointed at a point in the distance. At first they could not see anything other than waves then after a towering wave subsided they saw them. A dark figure on a flying creature and a flock of pairs of red eyes around it.
"They are coming. Captain call battle stations!" Minaroth called out and unsheathed her sword, a fire ball in her other hand.
"Men, to battle stations! Arm the magica cannons!" The ship's cannon ports opened up and the whole ship became alive in a flurry of movement as the men hurried to their stations.
"Wait until they're closer, then when we are riding a wave for higher ground let loose. Belevod, Aer'andil you know what to do." Minaroth had a very unsettling grin on her lips.
"Ready to do battle Minaroth?" The Captain could see Aer'andil standing there next to his guardians, calm and holding his bow as if he was standing on dry land in archery training.
"Yes, my King, ready to slay whoever threatens you or our people. My blade is ready to sing in the wind and bathe in the blood of our enemies." She twisted the blade in her hand whirling it around.
"Here they come! What is that thing?" The Captain asked as he fired an arrow from his crossbow. The creature disintegrated and reintegrated, the crossbow bolt missing it entirely.
"Creatures of darkness! Arm your magica cannons with fire and light magic projectiles." Belevod told the Captain. "The Dark General…he's flying a wyvern…part snake part abomination on wings and breathes poison, it will kill you within minutes if it hits you but has none of a dragon's scales, hit it with arrows."
The creatures of Darkness in all sorts of shapes and sizes charged at them. Minaroth started moving in an inhumanely fast speed, slicing and casting one spell after another at the Dark creatures killing some, injuring others.
Aer'andil aimed at the wyvern flying overhead them tearing at the rigging and sails. He fired a well-aimed shot piercing its left wing's joint to the body. The wyvern screeched and fell to the ship's deck. Minaroth pivoted around from another creature and severed its head.
The Dark General stood up and locked swords with Minaroth. " Murvirn Fosgvern."
"Ain't going to die so easily fiend." Minaroth replied and twisted her sword parrying the blow before landing one of her own. The Dark General parried Minaroth's sword with her own and thrust her sword at Minaroth's side aiming for her vital organs.
"This is too easy, even with Minaroth's military knowledge and experience the Dark General should be able to defeat her easy…why doesn't she? Enough of this." Aer'andil thought and whispered a word. In an instant he was turned into flame.
"Face me slave of Darkness!" He called out to the Dark General and aimed his hand at the sky.
"Burning star!" He shouted in a language no one understood. A missile of pure bright flame launched from his hand skywards. A few meters above the main mast it erupted into a glowing star-ball. Everything was illuminated as if the sun had come closer. The creatures of darkness wailed and screeched as they died from the intense light.
The Dark General laughed and placing a hand on Minaroth's head he pulled at it. Minaroth yelled in pain. Aer'andil could see a stream of bright light almost escape her lips, the Dark General was pulling the spirit from inside her.
Aer'andil yelled and threw a fire ball at the Dark General's direction. She evaded it and hacked at Minaroth with her sword, Minaroth fell on the deck.
"NO! DIE!!" Aer'andil screamed furious and threw another fire ball at the Dark General. The Dark General did not even try to dodge it this time. The fire ball hit her head on without even hurting her.
"I am Elaria's Bane, fire does not hurt me child, for my Master I will have your head." She called out to him in Elven.
"Air." Aer'andil called out in the same unknown language. In an instant he changed from pure flames to something combining flames and the essence of air.
"Cascading wind!" Aer'andil yelled and a tornado like torrent of flame launched out towards the Dark General.
She laughed, Belevod launched at her, she backslapped him throwing him back and launched herself at Aer'andil unscathed by his magic.
"Air doesn't hurt me either child." Aer'andil parried her blow grinning.
"I know, but I know not yet the true name of water and I wasn't really aiming for you." Just then the magical storm around them became even more ferosious, the wind now tearing open the very hull of the ship.
"I cannot defeat you yet, I know, but I cannot let you kill me either." Aer'andil told her trying to land a blow with the sharp edge of his bow.
"I will kill you, child and then I will travel to Valana and kill he who used to be my husband. Zah Dah will rise again!"
"Burn!" Aer'andil aimed his hands at the wooden floor beneath their feet. Even with the wind and the rain battering down at them the fire consumed the wooden planks in the blink of an eye. Aer'andil turned back to flesh and jumped into the dark, unknown sea and started swimming away from the burning ship.

A pacemaker is an electrical device that is used to correct and regulate an abnormal heart rhythm.
A pacemaker is an electrical device that is used to correct and regulate an abnormal heart rhythm. When necessary, a pacemaker will send out electrical signals to stimulate the hearts chambers to contract and relax in a regular way. In effect, pacemakers artificially take over the role of the heart's natural pacemaker. They can be set to work only if needed (on demand) or all the time (fixed rate).
Nowadays pacemakers are comfortable and reliable. Most people live a normal life after they have had a pacemaker fitted.
If the electrical activity of your heart is upset your heart may be unable to pump sufficient blood around your body. This can cause symptoms to occur. You may be tired and lethargic and have an increased risk of falls and blackouts. Depending on your symptoms your heart specialist may suggest fitting a pacemaker device.
Pacemakers are mainly used:
A pacemaker consists of a 'box' and pacing wires:
There is a special type of pacemaker called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (or 'ICD') which can deliver much stronger electrical impulses to reverse a dangerous heart rhythm.

How to Disable Outlook Calendar Reminders
To help you remember important events in your Outlook calendar, you can set event reminders. The reminders appear on your screen before the event is scheduled to take place. Furthermore, reminders also emit warning sounds which may disturb you, especially if you're concentrated on something else. To stop the warnings, you must disable the reminders. However, make sure you don't forget about the events; Outlook will not warn you in any way after you turn off the reminders.
Disabling Outlook Calendar Reminders
Launch Outlook and click "Calendar" near the bottom of the screen. To stop Outlook from creating reminders by default for new events, click "File," click "Options," click "Calendar" and then uncheck the "Default reminders" box; click "OK." To disable reminders for existing events, open each event and choose "None" from the Reminder drop-down box on the Appointment Occurrence or Meeting Occurrence tab. You can find the Appointment Occurrence and Meeting Occurrence tabs in the Options group. To quickly locate events, switch to list view. To view all calendar events as a list, click "View," click "Change View" and choose "List" from the menu.

I hate to be coy, but we're not quite up to talking about ourselves just yet. Busy, busy, busy trying to get a new service off the ground.
[You can read what other people are saying, however, here.]
In case you haven't figured it out already, Spoonflower will offer a new resource for Internet-savvy crafters, creative folks who sew and quilt, who love fabric and design and making beautiful things.
Spoonflower is for individuals who talk about, display, swap and sometimes sell their hand made products over the Internet through blogs, individual web sites and marketplaces like Etsy and eBay.
The people we're here to serve represent a cultural wave of do-it-yourselfers for whom the creation of new things — from quilts and pillows to videos, t-shirts, blogs and code for tweaking cellphones — is an essential form of self-expression.
We're currently located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina but Spoonflower will be accessible to people everywhere.
If you have any questions, please email Stephen. You can sign up to hear about our site when it launches in test mode here.

Job Description of a Fighting Director
A fighting director is charged with mapping out and overseeing staged combat in a film, play or other performance. These directors, also known as fight directors or fight choreographers, are experts in making fighting look realistic while keeping it safe for the actors and other participants. As a result, they work with the production's director to ensure the best possible look to anything from a fistfight to a gun battle.
Staging the Combat
A fighting director's main role on a stage or movie set is to choreograph combat sequences. These could be anything from martial arts to swordplay to mock gunfights. The fight director is not the primary director of the play or movie, but rather a sort of consultant who works on the action sequences under the guidance of the director -- and while keeping the director's vision for the scene in mind. The fighting director may be on set for an entire film shoot, for instance, or he may be needed for just a few days of choreography. He may even be called upon to direct stunt work that is not technically fight-related, but requires someone with his special knowledge.
Safety First
The most important aspect of a fighting director's job is to be able to craft combat sequences that are not just exciting and realistic, but also safe for the actors and crew. After all, his job is to teach them to simulate a fight, not to actually injure one another. This is where a fighting director's own training comes into play, as well as his ability to instruct in the proper stage combat techniques.
Good-Looking Fights
While safety is paramount, the other critical element of a fighting director's profession is his ability to choreograph realistic-looking battle sequences that work within the overall structure of the play or film. This may mean not just creating a convincing illusion of swordplay, for instance, but also ensuring that the combatants are using techniques appropriate to the historical period in which the scene takes place.
Teaching the Craft
One final "role" of a fighting director may be to teach other directors and actors the craft of staged combat in a non-production environment. Having training in stage combat can help an actor -- or even a director -- with his career. Some fight directors offer training workshops rather than just working on-set, and there are even associations dedicated to teaching the art of stage combat.
Learning the Job
Becoming a fighting director is about more than just taking a course in stage combat, but learning the craft is a good start. Fighting directors may have a background in either general acting or directing and a desire to learn about stage combat either because it is a personal interest or to bolster their overall ability to get hired. Learning to become a fighting director is about more than just taking a stage combat course, however. While an actor can get certified in combat techniques through fight directors' schools, he will need extensive training -- and practical experience -- in both styles and safety in order to be able to teach others.

EiE Research
Engineering is Elementary: A Research-Based Curriculum
Our team use an integrated evaluation strategy that relies on pilot testing in elementary classrooms and classroom observations. We also hold focus groups with teachers, conduct student assessments, and review student work.
Take a moment to watch one of our EiE Spotlight videos about our research. Visit our Resources page for more videos and other useful resources.
Research Results
EiE evaluations and external reviews find that the curriculum has the following impacts:
- Children who use EiE perform significantly better than control-group students on questions about engineering, technology, and science.
- Children who use EiE are more likely than control-group students to say they're interested in engineering as a career.
- Children from groups that are historically underrepresented in engineering show enhanced interest, engagement, and performance when they participate in EiE as compared to a science curriculum alone, and as compared to school in general. These results apply to the following groups:
- Females
- Historically underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities
- Students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP)
- Students from low-income families
- English Language Learners
Take a look at our Research Highlights for a quick overview of EiE research and evaluation results. Download a more in-depth copy of EiE's Executive Summary.
Ongoing Research
EiE's research team continues to evaluate the curriculum. Some of our current research questions include the following:
- What do students know about engineering and technology?
- How does the EiE curriculum affect what students know about engineering and technology?
- How does the EiE curriculum affect students' understanding of related science and mathematics topics?
- How does the EiE curriculum affect students' attitudes towards STEM activities and careers?
- How does the EiE curriculum impact the understanding and attitudes of female students, students of color, low-income students, and other populations underrepresented in STEM fields?
- How does EiE professional development affect teachers' pedagogy for STEM topics?
- How does EiE professional development affect teachers' attitudes towards teaching engineering and technology in their classrooms?
Visit the EiE Articles and Publications page to search for research reports on both the EiE curriculum and the professional development that supports the curriculum.

Four Reasons Why Food Manufacturers Should Consider the Cloud For Their ERP System
Today's technology landscape changes by the day and keeping up with this pace is challenging for businesses. Only 18 percent of manufacturers have adopted the cloud and within the next two years the level of adoption is expected to balloon to 70 percent (Manufacturing ISV Cloud Summit 2016). The adoption of cloud-based software is growing in all industries, but for food manufacturers specifically, the benefits are clear—cost savings and improved infrastructure management. More and more food manufacturers today are shifting their core ERP systems to the cloud. This increased adoption clearly indicates that the cloud has moved into the mainstream.
The following are four benefits for why food manufacturers should consider Cloud ERP:
Industry Recalls. Recalls can create a disturbance to normal operations, and cause un-repairable damage to your brand reputation. Tracking every movement of materials and finished goods, both inside and outside of your facilities, can prepare you not only for the unlikely recall but provide documentation for audits that you are likely to face. Cloud ERP helps streamline transparency, allowing you to catch a recall faster. You no longer have to be behind your computer to assess quality issues, Cloud ERP provides mobility allowing a recall to be caught anywhere at anytime.
Access your software from just a click of a button. Operating with cloud-based systems allows accessibility to accurate information, and makes communication easier while ensuring applications progress alongside your business. For the food industry, speed is often the difference between success and failure. With Cloud ERP, your company will never fall behind. Cloud ERP gives you the ability to drill down into the specifics of what products needs to be removed from shelves, saving untold amounts of money, energy and time.
Many costs connected with software solutions are eliminated with cloud computing. Organizations using cloud solutions can achieve cost savings that increase over time, because firms with Cloud ERP have greater improvements in operational costs, complete and on-time service, and internal schedule compliance. Cloud ERP is an attractive option for food manufacturers to upgrade their technology, enable effective cost reduction and streamline operations.
Cloud-based systems can reduce cost and increase security. Security remains a critical factor in considering Cloud ERP solutions. Cloud-based systems are built from the start with security at its foundation. Deploying a Cloud ERP system alleviates the need to have in-house IT staff to manage your infrastructure. Rather, your company can now concentrate on running their business, knowing that their cloud provider is handling all IT operations.
ERP software is the foundation on which organizational business processes run. It enables companies to be more efficient and profitable, so it's no wonder food manufacturers are realizing that moving the enterprise to the Cloud can help better manage important business functions, from their financials, to their sales processes, customer service, inventory, distribution, and more.

On one trip to Maine, brewer Evan Feringa found something that he had not seen in his home state of Michigan—a mug club that you had to drink into.
"We had to drink out of regular pint glasses, and so the locals would make fun of us saying 'look at the tourists'!" Feringa said.
You couldn't buy their way into that mug club, nor could you pay a yearly membership to belong—you had to drink the beer to earn that mug.
"And it created this atmosphere that I hadn't seen in any of the bars I'd visited at home. I told Joe (Dowd, a partner in Baffin Brewery) that if we ever opened a brewpub, we have to do this."
And they did. Located in St. Clair Shores, Baffin Brewing has been serving mug club members, regulars, newbies and everyone in between since 2015. The mug club boasts over 400 members, most of whom had to drink their way in.
"You have to drink 150 beers—pints, growlers and flights all count as one. After every 20 beers, you get some sort of reward like a Baffin sticker, a t-shirt, a glass growler, and then after that 150th beer you get your own handmade 22-24 ounce mug,"which is refilled at the same price as a pint, Feringa said.
Just like those pubs in Maine, the mug club members at Baffin get to know each other as they hang out in the brewery near Lake St. Clair. White Christmas lights winking out from the wall of hard earned mugs is one of the first things guests see when they walk in. Tables and chairs are scattered about the sunny, open space that includes an attractive wood bar top that runs along the back wall. The shiny tanks that hold the tasty ales stand to the left and self-serve popcorn is always available.
Feringa received training from the master brewers' program at the Siebel Institute in Chicago and spent time at Dragonmead Brewery. He and partners Joe Dowd and Joe VanderMarliere opened the brewery together.
"Joe (Dowd) and I started brewing together in college. I always loved to cook, loved homebrew, and at some point realized I wanted to open a brewery. We met Joe (VanderMarliere), a St. Clair Shores native, and everything fell into place. It's a wonderful partnership—we loved it from the get-go and we are still going strong!"
All of Baffin's beers impress, but here are some stand-outs:
Mango Unchained (6.5% ABV, uses 75% Michigan hops). Fruit ales often miss the mark. Either they don't have enough of a fruit profile or they taste like the syrup in Slush Puppies. This beer found the sweet spot (no pun intended) with enough of a mango flavor without being cloying. As it mellowed, it became hoppier—but never overwhelmingly so.
Monkadelic (9.1% ABV, all Michigan hops). Making a 9%+ beer that doesn't taste like pure alcohol is no small feat, so Baffin is to be commended for making a solid Belgian tripel. Nice malty flavors with some tropical fruit and banana.
Eye of the Porter (6.5% ABV, all Michigan hops). Toasty and chocolatey, this beer is a great example of a porter style beer. A touch of fruit prevents it from being too chocolatey (yes, there is such a thing!). Roasty, but light enough to enjoy on a hot summer day.
Mickey Redmond Red Ale (7% ABV, all Michigan hops). Nicely balanced ale with hints of biscuit, caramel and malt. Some red ales can be too malty or not malty enough and taste like a regular pale ale–this beer hit the sweet spot.
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby (6.5% ABV, all Michigan hops). Even if one is neither a fan of IPAs nor grapefruit, she will find this beer to her liking! Eighty-eight pounds of grapefruit go into the mash but the taste was not overpowering. Michigan Cascade hops are used in the dry hopping of this effervescent and refreshing ale.
Unlike many other brewpubs, Baffin lists the percentage of Michigan grown hops on the tap list. Big proponents of Michigan industry, Baffin uses locally grown grains and hops except when recipes require ingredients from Germany or other countries.
"We always knew we wanted to use as many Michigan hops as possible, so we teamed up with Church Key Farms (out of Deerfield) and use every hop as we can," Feringa said.

DANI INTERNATIONAL CORP. was founded in 1974, a privately-held independent
corporation. And DANITRIO is my division of designing and manufacturing fine
writing instruments with Urushi as well as Maki-e works done by veteran artists
in Japan since 2000. DaniTrio has more than 250 designs of the art in their collection and
the quantity is still growing.
Maki-e has survived for more than 1,400 years until today and Japanese still enjoy an exclusive possession of this art in the world not only because it needs a lot of hard work and time consuming, also because the Maki-e-shi (Maki-e artists) need very strong culture background.
DaniTrio started the Maki-e collection with Grand Trio collection, Mikado and Genkai Collection and at the same time we have lower-end Takumi and Densho Collection, and they are very glad to see them all well accepted by the customers worldwide. And then, their latest collection, Yokozuna, the most unique Maki-e collection has made its debut in January 2009.

During the hot summer, parents are always looking for ways to keep their children entertained and cool. While portable pools, which include wading pools, inflatable pools, and soft-sided, self-rising pools, can be fun to play in, many parents don't realize the potential dangers associated with this type of pool. They somehow seem "safer" because they don't hold as much water as bigger pools. Sadly, during the summer in the U.S., a child drowns every 5 days in a portable pool. By taking a few precautions, parents and caregivers can help children remain safe as they cool off during hot summer days.
Here are way to prevent unauthorized access to pools to help keep kids safe:
Empty it.
- Empty wading pools and smaller soft-sided pools immediately after every use and put them away. Even if your own children aren't home, a child from the neighborhood could wander into your yard and try to get into a pool if it has water in it.
- The safest option is to place the pool inside a fenced-in area of the yard. The fencing should:
- Be non-climbable.
- Be at least four feet high.
- Have self-closing and self-latching gates that open away from the pool.
- Not have any spaces under the fence or between uprights that are more than four inches wide.
- Remember that the safest type of fencing goes around all 4 sides of the pool. The house should not count as one of the sides of the "fence."
- Use door locks and alarms to prevent children from going from the house into the pool area without an adult.
- If possible, remove steps and ladders leading from the ground to the pool when the pool is not in use and keep these items locked away.
- Make sure to also take any toys out of the water so children aren't tempted to try to reach them when you aren't around.
- Make it a rule that an adult MUST be present whenever any children are in the pool.
- Give them your full attention. If you are the adult in charge of supervising children in the pool, leave the reading, chores, phone calls, and chats with friends until later. Remember that drowning can be quick, silent and final.
- Have children take swimming lessons and learn about water safety.
- Remember that "swimmies," "arm rings," and other inflatables can lose air unexpectedly. Don't rely on these things to keep non-swimmers afloat.


text: Between the 26th and the 28th April took place the third transnational meeting in the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 2016-2018 project "Traditional Settlements, Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development" (2016-1-EL01-KA204-023477), in which the Institute is a partner institution. The Institute was represented at the meeting by dr Michał Koskowski, who summarised our activities in the period since the previous transnational meeting in Plovdiv in October 2017. Primarily, our presentation was devoted to the fieldwork we carried out in Siedlęcin and Ślemień last year, and the related extensive desktop research undertaken by our team that lead to an article that is going to form part of an e-book, addressing the key challenges and showcasing examples of good practice in heritage management in Europe today. The meeting also included an inspiring case study from a Sicilian town of Petrosino, also a partner in the project, represented by its Mayor, Mr Gaspare Giacalone, who was also an acting host of the meeting. The event concluded with a workshop about project dissemination techniques, led by Thalia Theodoridi of the Centre for Environmental Education in Filiates, Greece. No meeting in Venice can take place without visiting the venerable City of Venice itself which - thanks to it being an off-season - could be done at a relatively leisurely pace. As one of the most visited tourism destinations in the World, Venice presents a range of issues related to settlements and sustainability, that form the core of the KA2 project. Against all the odds, however, Venice remains an unquestionable and unimitable wonder of art, engineering and architecture.

fucking day.
then I noticed I was late for my bus, and ran to the terminal. 10 minutes on the road I remember I forgot water on the fire to make tea. "fuck, my house will catch fire".
so I get down from the bus, that costed me 10 dollars, and run home. I had no money to call a cab, and my house was on the other goddamned side of the city. I ran for 45 minutes straight, arrived home coughing my fucking guts out. the water had boiled over the kettle, and put out the fire. a spark, and my house would go BOOM!.
I lost an important doctor appointment, got dog shit on my shoes, kicked my table with my little toe like it owed me money, dropped hot water on my balls, fought my dad, internet stopped working, and got stinged by a hornet.
I was really enjoying that DsGl.
