Zohra Sehgal Biography
Zohra Sehgal (27 April 1912 – 10 July 2014) was an Indian actress and choreographer. Sehgal started her career as a dancer in Uday Shankar's troupe, performing in countries like the United States and Japan. She went on to appear in numerous Bollywood films as a character actress with a career-span of over 60 years.
The famous films she was part of, include Neecha Nagar, Afsar (1946), Bhaji on the Beach (1992), The Mystic Masseur (2001), Bend It Like Beckham (2002), Dil Se.. (1998), Saawariya and Cheeni Kum (2007); and the TV series, The Jewel in the Crown (1984), Tandoori Nights (1985–87), Amma and Family (1996). At the age of 90, she got the lead character around whom the story revolved in 2002 film Chalo Ishq Ladaaye, where she had stunt sequences and emotional scenes. Considered the doyenne of Indian theatre, she acted with Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA) and Prithviraj Kapoor's Prithvi Theatre for 14 years. She has also acted in English-speaking films such as Bend It Like Beckham.
She was awarded the Padma Shri in 1998, Kalidas Samman in 2001, and in 2004, the Sangeet Natak Akademi. India's National Academy for Music, Dance and Drama presented her with its highest award, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship for lifetime achievement. She received the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honor, in 2010. She died in a New Delhi hospital on July 10, 2014 due to cardiac arrest.
She was born as Sahibzadi Zohra Begum Mumtaz-ullah Khan on 27 April 1912 into a traditional Muslim family in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, to Mumtazullah Khan and Natiqua Begum, belonging to a Rohilla Pathan family of Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. She was third of seven children – Zakullah, Hajrah, Ikramullah, Uzra (Uzra Butt), Anna and Sabira – and grew up in Chakrata, now in Uttarakhand (near Dehradun). She was a tomboy fond of climbing trees and playing games. Zohra lost vision in her left eye as she contracted glaucoma at the age of one year. She was referred to a hospital in Birmingham where she was treated at a cost of £300.
She lost her mother while still young. As per their mother's wishes, she and her sister were sent to Queen Mary College, Lahore. Strict purdah was observed there and the few males invited to speak did so from behind a screen. As a result of seeing her sister's failed marriage, she decided to pursue a career, rather than get married.
Upon graduating, her maternal uncle, Sahebzada Saeeduzzafar Khan, who was based in Edinburgh, arranged for her to apprentice under a British actor. They started from Lahore by car and, en route, crossed Iran, Palestine, before reaching Damascus, Syria, where she met her cousin. Then they traveled into Egypt and caught a boat to Europe in Alexandria.
In Europe, her aunt Dicta took her to try in the Mary Wigman's ballet school in Dresden, Germany, but she had not ever danced, having lived in purdah for so long. Nevertheless, she got admission and became the first Indian to study at the institution. She stayed in Dresden for the next three years studying modern dance, while living in the house of Countess Liebenstein. She happened to watch the Shiv-Parvati ballet by Uday Shankar who was touring Europe. This was to change her life forever as, impressed by the performance, she went back stage to meet Uday Shankar, who promised her a job on her return to India, at the completion of her course.
While still in Europe, she received a telegram from Uday Shankar: "Leaving for Japan tour. Can you join immediately?" On 8 August 1935, she joined his troupe and danced across Japan, Egypt, Europe and the US, as a leading lady, along with French dancer, Simkie. When Uday Shankar moved back to India in 1940, she became a teacher at the Uday Shankar India Cultural Centre at Almora. It was here that she met her future husband Kameshwar Segal, a young scientist, painter and dancer from Indore, eight years her junior, belonging to the Radha Soami sect.
For a while the couple worked in Uday's dance institute at Almora. Both became accomplished dancers and choreographers. Kameshwar composed a noted ballet for human puppets and choreographed the ballet Lotus Dance. When it shut down later, they migrated to Lahore in the near western India and set up their own Zohresh Dance Institute. The growing communal tension preceding the Partition of India made them feel unwelcome. They returned to Bombay, with one-year-old Kiran. By now, her sister Uzra Butt was already a leading lady with Prithvi Theatre. Ultimately, she too joined Prithvi Theatre in 1945, as an actress with a monthly salary of Rs 400, and toured every city across India with the group, for the next 14 years.
Also in 1945, soon after her arrival, she joined the leftist theatre group, IPTA, acted in several plays, and made her film debut in IPTA's first film production, directed by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, Dharti Ke Lal in 1946; she followed it up with another IPTA-supported film, Chetan Anand's Neecha Nagar. In the same year, it became the first Indian film to gain critical international recognition and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Her involvement remained mostly with the theatre, though she did do a few films in between. During their stay in Bombay, the couple came to know many celebrities, including Ebrahim Alkazi, in whose play, Din Ke Andhere, she played "Begum Qudsia"; K.A. Abbas, in whose plays she acted at the IPTA; Chetan and Uma Anand in whose house the couple stayed when they first moved to Bombay, and his brother, Dev Anand his brother. She did the choreography for several Hindi films, including Guru Dutt's Baazi (1951) and the dream sequence song in Raj Kapoor's film Awaara. Kameshwar, on the other hand, became art director in Hindi films and later tried his hand at film direction.
Zohra Sehgal had been acting on the stage in different parts of India and putting up plays for inmates, including at Ferozepore jail. After staging a play, she stayed on to watch an execution.
After her husband's death in 1959, Zohra first moved to Delhi and became director of the newly founded Natya Academy. She then moved London on a drama scholarship in 1962. Here she met Ram Gopal, a India-born Bharatnatyam dancer, and starting 1963, worked as a teacher in the "Uday Shankar style" of dance at his school in Chelsea, during the short period of its existence. Her first role for British television was in a BBC adaptation of a Kipling story, The Rescue of Pluffles, in 1964. She also appeared in four episodes of Doctor Who during 1964-65, all of them, however, are currently lost. She also anchored 26 episodes of BBC TV series, Padosi (Neighbours; 1976–77). Her career in the next almost two decades remained sporadic, despite several small appearances in many films.
In London, Zohra got her first break in the films and was signed by Merchant Ivory Productions. She appeared in The Courtesans of Bombay directed by James Ivory in 1982. This paved way for an important role as Lady Chatterjee in the television adaptation The Jewel in the Crown (ITV, 1984). Thus starting the second phase of her career, as she went on to appear in The Raj Quartet, The Jewel in the Crown, Tandoori Nights, My Beautiful Laundrette, et al.
She returned to India in the mid-1990s and lived for a few months in Burdwan. At that time she acted in several films, plays and TV series since. She first performed poetry at a memorial to Uday Shankar organised by his brother, Ravi Shankar in 1983, and soon took it in big way; she started getting invited to perform poetry at various occasions. She even traveled to Pakistan to recite verses for "An Evening With Zohra". Her impromptu performances of Punjabi and Urdu became a norm. After stage performances she was often requested by the audience to recite Hafeez Jullundhri's famous nazm, Abhi To Main Jawan Hoon.
In 1993, a critically acclaimed play, Ek Thi Nani, was staged in Lahore for the first time, featuring Zohra and her sister Uzra Butt now staying in Pakistan. A performance in its English version, A Granny for All Seasons, was held at UCLA in 2001. She became very active in Hindi films in grandmotherly roles in from 1996, with frequent appearances in high budget movies like Dil Se, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Veer Zara, Saawariya, Cheeni Kum. She was 90, when she did the film -Chalo Ishq Ladaye in 2002, whee she was the main central character of the film and Govinda played her grandson.The film Ishq Ladaye had her riding a bike and fighting the villains as well. In 2008, at the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF)-Laadli Media Awards in New Delhi, she was named Laadli of the century and the award ceremony was presided by the Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit.
In her career she has acted with heroes across generations - Prithviraj Kapoor, Ashok Kumar, Dev Anand, Govinda, Sharukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor. In 2012, she became the longest-living actor to have appeared on Doctor Who, as well as the first centenarian associated with the show. The second is Olaf Pooley, who celebrated his 100th birthday on 13 March 2014.
She married Kameshwar Sehgal, a Hindu. There was initial opposition from her parents, but they eventually gave their approval for the union. They married on 14 August 1942. Jawaharlal Nehru was to attend the wedding reception, but he was arrested a couple of days earlier for supporting Gandhi's Quit India Movement.
Zohra and Kameshwar had two children, Kiran and Pavan. Pavan Sehgal works for the WHO. Kiran is a highly reputed Odissi dancer.
She described herself as an agnostic having been an atheist in her youth.
In 2012, Kiran Sehgal, her daughter wrote Zohra's biography titled "Zohra Sehgal: Fatty".
On July 9, 2014 she was admitted to the Max Hospital in South Delhi after being diagnosed with pneumonia. She died on 10 July 2014, aged 102, after suffering cardiac arrest and was cremated on 11 July at Lodhi Road crematorium, Delhi.

The goal is to have a group of people that we belong to and can do life together. Life Groups provide the environment and relationships into which Bible teaching and the Word of God can be practically applied, and are also where we most naturally would serve and love one another, and eventually reach out and serve others together. If there was only one thing here at Willowbrook we'd encourage you to do, it would be to get into a Life Group at the next opportunity!
At our Madison Campus, most Life Groups meet in homes around Madison on Sunday evenings, 4:30 – 6:30pm. This allows families with children to take advantage of childcare and activities for children and youth on Sunday nights on campus. Other groups, where there is no need for childcare, meet at other times during the week.
Clicking on the button below will take you to the FIND A GROUP page on willowbrooklife.org. If you are on a desktop, you can sort using the labels at the top of the screen (specifically "campus") to quickly get to a list of Madison groups. If you are on a mobile device, use the search field on the right side of the screen to search for Madison Campus. You can also search for other group characteristics, but be sure to use the search field on the right side of the screen, and not the location field on the left side of the screen.

The National Archives recently released a large portion of the files relating to former US President John F Kennedy, relating to his time in office and events that led up to his assassination in November 1963. The latest batch of documents also features a secret FBI dossier on Martin Luther King Jr, which sheds a very negative light on the civil rights activist.
The 20-page analysis dated 12 March, 1968, features information regarding King's history, influences and alleged extra-marital affairs. Titled "Martin Luther King, Jr. A Current Analysis", the report claims "to give some insight into the nature of the man himself as well as the nature of his views, goals, objectives, tactics and the reasons therefor".
In one particular portion of the analysis regarding his personal life, the civil rights icon is described as engaging in "unnatural" and "abnormal" sexual acts.
Referring to a 1968 Miami workshop King held in order to train black ministers in leadership, the author claims the event doubled as a sex orgy of sorts.
"Several Negro and white prostitutes were brought in from the Miami area. An all night-sex orgy was held with these prostitutes and some of the delegates in attendance," the document states.
"One room had a large table in it which was filled with whiskey. The two Negro prostitutes were paid $50.00 to put on a sex show for the entertainment of the guests. A variety of sex acts deviating from the normal were observed."
Other references to orgies come up in the report, as well as King's extra-marital affairs with numerous other women, one of which allegedly led to the birth of a baby girl.
"It was learned in February, 1968, from a very responsible Los Angeles individual in a position to know, that King has been having an illicit love affair with the wife of a prominent Negro dentist in Los Angeles, California, since 1962. He believes King fathered a baby girl born to this woman inasmuch as her husband is allegedly sterile," the analysis reads.
Another section of the documents refer to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the African-American civil rights organisation founded by King. The FBI describes it as "a tax dodge" while alleging ties between the Baptist minister and communist influences.
The information revealed in the files released on 3 November has been received with a certain level of scepticism for numerous reasons. There are no details of how and if the information was properly verified and it is not clear why they were part of the JFK files considering they make no mention of the president.
"When we look closely at this, what we see is that there is a person who is trying his best to damage Martin Luther King's reputation," Clayborne Carson, the director of the Martin Luther King, Jr Research and Education Institute told CNN, hinting at then FBI Director J Edgar Hoover, who was known to be hostile to King.

Larry Husten, on his Cardiobrief blog, reports:
Drug-eluting stents (DESs) cost Medicare an additional $1.57 billion per year, according to a study published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
In an editor's note, Rita Redberg wrote that "it is time to clearly define what the value of this extraordinary investment has been in terms of patient benefits and study the harms and determine if we are getting good value for this outlay."
In an interview on TheHeart.org, the lead author said most of these treatments "are occurring in a population that's not getting any survival benefit or quality-of-life benefit out of it, that is what's troubling."

the first I felt cuckolded by my wife
- 5 Comments
- 12468 Views
8 minute read
The story ur about to read is 3 years old.. my wife unfortunately has taken herself out of this lifestyle but she is capable of being naughty.. I hope u guys and tell me if I did get cuckolded.. This is my true session.. the first time i felt cuckolded by her
This is my first time sharing our sex life on form of text. Hope i am worthy of a read.
This is the story of me, my wife (reefy) and our very first BBC bull (Mark).
Personal Info:
We are high school sweethearts who were lucky and strong enough to end up marrying each other.
We are both of indian ethnicity. Reefy (age: 27 now) has always been a shy, modest and sober girl (both physically and mentally)as she comes from a strong islamic background and i was her first and currently only lover she has ever been with. She is around 1.60 meters tall and very pretty (definitely as far as i am concerned the prettiest girl i have been with).
Her best asset has always been her lips
(BJ lips :D ) and her ghetto-licious ass.
I particularly love her voice the most as she speaks in an incredibly seductive tone ( her moans are great enough to cum for).. ( mmmmm :p)
I (Age: 28) am roughly 1.75 meters tall, i have always been athletic from my youthful days. In fact i have played a sport on a national level (soccer) till i was 22. Considering my track record with women i am what you call above average in looks ;)
I am packing an average size man down there ( 6" but thickish), but i make up for the shortage with stamina and techniques. My best asset would be my attitude towards sex as i believe sex is better when considered as a recreational part of my life.
We only got married 2 years ago but we have been sexually active with each other for over 10+ years before we got married. So you can imagine we have done everything a couple can conventionally do. We have always had a great sex life but 4 years ago things started to get a little dull in the bedroom, even though we were both well versed in sexual techniques. As I am proud to say that reefy has experienced the joys of multiple orgasm and squirting. "mmmm" I LOVE TO SUCK HER SWOLLEN CLIT AFTER SHE CUMS. She is (in one word) DELICIOUS.
We found ourselves exploring new ideas to bring to bed 4 years ago ( Reefy ruled out FMF before we even started searching for ideas which was sad for me!! ).
We started watching Group Sex movies during our HOT sessions and i noticed her interest in being the centre of attention between other men. I thought this was a natural desire since i have been her only lover. So i started to indulge into her sexual interest. We started introducing fictional sexual characters watching me fuck her, which also started getting me more and more attracted to the idea of watching her with other men.
I researched more of couples that share each other and found swinger sites. I convinced her to join a site where i gave her complete control of the pics that she was willing to put up as this would be our soft method of sharing her.
Reefy was very reluctant at first but in a few months after she received such raving comments about her sexy but modest pics (mostly pic her in Lacey Lingerie!!) and a rare few of her soaking wet pussy after i would make her squirt. She would make me take pics for her to share and i was loving every second the new addition to our sex life. I would ask her to chat on the site and enjoy the company and attention that i was confident she would get. And as i mentioned she got a lotta attention. Guys were flooding our inbox with dirty mails and sexual requests. I used to get so turned on reading the sexual desires of other men with my wife..
I convinced her to go a step further, like skype'ing with the guys she found attractive and enjoyed the company of. She told me that she would feel like she would be cheating with me if she cammed with other men, but while she told me this i let out a soft moan and i shot a thick cumload in my pants which now she can see.
I was embarrassed about exploding so suddenly in my pants. Reefy was shocked by what she saw, she asked me what happened? I tried to explain but i couldn't think of any excuse. So i told her the truth. I told her of my desires of watching her be the centre of attention just like the wives from the amatuer MFM flicks we would watch. I begged her to suck my wet but still rock hard cock.
And she slid my cum wet pants off and saw my cock is still hard. She smiled and asked me if i was still up for a romp session.
I told her to suck my cock clean first and so i can show her how excited i am feeling imagining her cam'ing with other men. That day WE FUCKED LIKE CRAZY, she even begged me to cum on her face (To describe the sex we in a word " sinfull") mmmm.
We started skype'ing with other guys as a couple at first. I would let the other men tell me how they would like to watch me fuck her, some had some dirty idea's but reefy was only comfortable to perform some of the requests. She did however enjoyed more when she was positioned on her knees and hands facing the screen so she could watch other men rub themselves off watching her getting fucked long and hard. i would often show other guys how HER thick cum looks on my cock and i would tell her to finish me off with her sexy lips. All the men enjoyed that bit the most, watch her lick her own cum of my wet and obviously very sensitive cock and than watch me explode with thick strands of cumshots on her lips and face..
Our sexlife has never been as great as it became at that point. It me, my hot wife and a cyber stranger. She would tell me that some guys have asked her to skype alone.
I told her " baby, I Love u and if you would like to experience this alone. You may as long as you tell me immediately.
Our sex life continued to thrive under these new conditions and she started camming with other guys alone but would immediately call me and tell me about them.
One day I just logged onto skype as i wanted to give myself a good tug reading her sexcapades with other men. I found msgs from a week old. and she has been chatting to this guy ( Mark ) for a week and i could see she has been video chatting with Mark ( whom later I learned has a 9" thick black cock) more than a few times. I remember reefy mentioning him once to me but i didn't know why she didn't tell me about all the times she would come online to flirt with this guy. I read all the messages between them and i was shocked reading what she spoke to him about.
She described his cock as the hottest cock she has ever seen, she told him my hubby has a smooth thick cock but not as enormous and good looking as yours.
At this point i was angry but at the same time i was nursing a mad erection. I kept reading and soon discovered they shared dirty pics via email and this was something she definitely did not tell me about. I started jerking off immediately harder and harder thinking how she has given into her lust towards this man. I shot my load all over my hands and my legs.
I felt satisfied but confused.
I felt betrayed by her but at the same time my cum dripping cock was still rock solid and throbbing.
I waited for her to come home and i confronted her about Mark. She immediately started apologizing about what she did.
She started promising that she would not do it again ( honestly i didnt want her to stop anymore but i played along )
I demanded to see all the pics they secretly shared with each other.
She opened a hidden folder on my pc (she is daring woman :-D ).
This folder had several pics of her fingering, posing like a playboy centerfold. It was HOT i was not angry anymore, now i was just hot and horny.
I told her not to worry, she looked confused at first but as I unzipped my pants and flaunted my cum wet cock to her she threw me a naughty smile ( she was turned on now too).
She immediately started sucking my cock, she started telling me how she fingers herself every night thinking of Marks big black cock. I asked her to show me his pics and i was shocked as he was at least 9 " long and Thick like hell.. I asked her if he sent more pics. She showed me a hidden folder which contained mark unloading huge loads on reefy's provative pictures.. I immediately shot the biggest facial i have ever given my wife.. she was surprised at how much i came while thinking about her and mark.

Top Icebreaker Activities Part Five
Icebreaker activities are used to welcome and warm up the conversation among students in a new class, meeting or new situation. Any event that requires students to comfortably interact with each other and a teacher is an opportunity to use an icebreaker to help students feel more comfortable. An effective icebreaker will warm up the conversation in your class or meeting, reinforce the topic of the session, and ensure that students enjoy their interaction and the session. When participants don't know each other, the icebreaker will help them introduce themselves to the other students.
Traffic Jam
Equipment: Spots or markers on the ground
Description: Class is divided into two even groups. One group lines up on the long line of spots facing one way to the front and the other half of the class does the same lining up facing the other group with one spot in the middle separating them. The goal is to get your group all the way to the other end facing away from each other without stepping off the spots.
Circle Slap
Equipment: None
Description: The class will lie on their chest on the floor and hold hands with the person next to them. This can be played inside or outside. The group leader will then nominate someone to start. On the leader's command the person nominated will squeeze the hand of the person next to them and this will carry on around the circle until it arrives back at the start. If the circuit is broken or someone squeezes too early they will then be asked a question about someone in the group. You can challenge the class to see how quickly they can complete the circle slap by timing them with a stop watch, and recording the time. See if they can beat this next time you play the game.
Name by Name
Equipment: None
Description: Class stands in one long, straight line. This can be played inside or outside. Each member of the class calls out their name one at a time. At the end of this the class has to rearrange itself in alphabetical order of Christian name without any verbal communication. Once successful the group then calls out their surname and the process is repeated.
Equipment: None
Description: Class starts by standing in a circle inside or outside. The teacher will start with a category, which can be anything such as fruit. The class then goes around the circle saying any type of fruit. If a member of the group repeats a fruit that has been said they are eliminated and need to sit down, or if they take too long thinking of one they are also out. The person next in line has five seconds to think of another category and it starts around the circle again.
Class Storytelling
Equipment: None
Description: The class stands or sits in a circle to start. The teacher starts by saying, "Once upon a time", then the student next to the teachers gets to say another sentence. It keeps going around the circle. The rule is that each student can say one sentence only. See how long you can keep the story going. After this you can start again, but this time each student is only allowed to say one word. These stories often end up quite funny and students will leave the class feeling happy and confident.

Actual workers: the best place to learn about actual work.•
Today we conclude our series on Breaking the Work Wall. Previous entries here, here, and here.
What's the best way to research potential employers?
If you know the industry, you probably know the company's reputation. That's a start. But even if you know what your peers think about a firm, how much do you really know about what happens in the workplace day-to-day?
You can always Google the company, but it's the rare employer who is willing to air their "dirty laundry"; almost none of them will voluntarily share the experiences that real workers are having, good and bad. You can ask your friends and colleagues in your industry–but no doubt, they're biased. Ask questions when you're in the interview seat? Sure, but can you trust what you're hearing is realistic? Turns out 23% of people feel like they've been intentionally misled in a job interview.
We conducted a big survey about transparency in the workplace. Information is so scarce, more than 50% of the respondents said that, the next time they're looking for a job, they'll seek out testimonials from current employees.
We think that's a great idea–and there's an easy way to get them fast. Spoiler alert, the best place to find those testimonials: kununu.
Our employer review platform empowers workers everywhere to share real opinions, experiences, and reports from all industries–completely anonymously. It's the perfect place to share what's happening behind the scenes at your employer. And it's free for anyone to use.
Come hear what people are whispering at the company you're applying to. And share your valuable knowledge with the community: submit a review of your own!

On a long run, in order to realize the female extra points, the female player must have had the ball PRIOR to the red 5 yard no rush line. Once the ball passes the 5, it is ineligible for bonus points.
When a team "punts", the offense receives the ball the same amount of yards from the mid-field line as the "punting" team is from the goal line (EG– if the offense "punts" at their 5 yard line, the receiving team would receive the ball at their 25), in other words, all punts are 30 yards

The most ferocious predators
Nature simply forces some creatures to hunt others. In this case, some predators are much more ferocious than others. It even goes so far that even a man is afraid of these animals. We do not go far into the forest, for fear of wolves, we are frightened by shots with bloodthirsty sharks. We will tell below about the most ferocious predators created by such a nature, not to intimidate a person, but to ensure their own vital activity.
Spider tarantula.
We are afraid of spiders and there are grounds for this. So, tarantulas are one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. These spiders also have impressive sizes. The diameter of the torso of the predator reaches 13 centimeters in diameter, and the range of the paws can reach 30 centimeters. Tarantulas are famous for being skillful and noiseless hunters. If their prehensile paws fall prey, then to escape from there, she simply has no chance. This spider loves and knows how to hunt, it is usual for him to wait for his victim. Tarantula tolerates a long time, but as soon as the extraction is in the zone of its reach, it rushes without the slightest warning to it. A quick attack does not leave a victim with a single chance of escape. The spider squeezes its prey with its poisonous teeth, immobilizing it. Then the food is abundantly poured by the pancreatic juice of the tarantula and eagerly eaten by it.
Black mamba.
Most of the most dangerous creatures live in Africa. Among them stands a huge poisonous snake black mamba. It can be found in the south-eastern part of the mainland. The name snake gave the black color of its skin inside the mouth, which is widely exposed before the deadly bite of the victim. Despite the formidable reputation, in nature these creatures behave rather timidly. Their aggression is awakened if these snakes are disturbed. Attacking his prey, the black mamba tries to hit her several times. The deadly poison of an animal consists of a cartotoxin and a neurotoxin. Until recently, every human bite of this snake became deadly. Today, lethal cases are not so frequent – people have come up with an antidote. It is common wherever there is a chance of meeting this dangerous predator. Fish piranhas.
There are some among the fish who cast a deadly terror. The most famous of them is the piranha, no other sea predator can compare to it by bloodthirstiness. Even the appearance of this fish makes you shudder – she has sharp teeth and powerful jaws. The predatory temper of this killer of all life is known to the whole world. And there are piranhas in the fresh waters of South America. Their predators are usually harvested at dusk or at dawn. The water literally swarms with them when they wait for small animals going to the watering place. Once the victim is in the water, the fish inflict their death blow. The animal is eaten with such ferocity, which is not peculiar to any other inhabitant of fresh water bodies. Sometimes the fish even combine into whole attacking flocks. They attack and large prey, such as horses, capillar and even man. There have been cases when these fish literally in minutes consumed the whole bull, leaving only a skeleton from it. Therefore, in water reservoirs where piranhas are found, it is better not to swim.
And this predator lives in our latitudes. He is the most dangerous beast in the forest. Usually fierce predators hunt alone, trying to get their own food. But wolves – another matter. The success of their hunting depends on the efforts of all the flocks. This makes predators even more dangerous, because mining has to fight with several killers at once. Hunting begins with the fact that several wolves start to chase the victim. The chase is dominated by a male. Not far from it there is a dominant female. It is only the victim who accidentally stumbles and falls, as a hungry pack immediately throws at her. Sharp teeth instantly tear the flesh away, leaving little chance for the animal to save. Komodo Warrant.
It's hard to believe, looking at this creature, that it is a lizard.The length of the reptile can reach 3 meters, and weighs the monitor up to 150 kilograms. This predator nature provided many tools suitable for hunting. An animal is fast and strong, it can kill a victim twice as large as himself. Victory is achieved through a poisonous bite. That is why the victim, escaping from the embrace of a predator, soon all the same dies. And the warran expects his prey in ambush. But if circumstances so require, a large lizard can run and swim. Such incredible ability to hunt came about thanks to the impressive ability to feed on meat. Varan for one sitting can eat prey, only half as much as weight.
This predator prefers to remain unnoticed until the last moment. The crocodile merges with the water and quietly watches the potential victim. The toothy beast waits for the moment when it will be possible to attack unexpectedly. This manner of hunting is typical for this bloodthirsty and secretive predator. Crocodiles differ powerful jaws and sharp teeth. This allows the predator to catch many animals. Some species can kill even very large creatures. So, the Nile crocodile killed both zebras and buffaloes. The predator is waiting for the animals that come to the watering place. Then he grabs them with his teeth and drags them under the water. There, the crocodile begins to twist its head sharply from side to side until it bites off a piece of flesh.
In English, the name of this large creature sounds like "Killer Whale", or "whale killer". It is clear that this animal is a dangerous predator. His main trump cards are flawless possession of the art of hunting and great physical strength. Due to the fact that the killer whale knows a lot of methods of mining food, it has a very diverse diet of all predators living in the water. For example, the killer whale feeds on penguins and seals, grabbing them underwater. Often reported cases in which the excitement of pursuit of fur seals, killer whales even were thrown ashore. These predators are social animals, they usually live in a backwash along with a dozen of their congeners. But for hunting, killer whales come out with a whole group. Some of these creatures are so aggressive that they sometimes catch and eat other predators, for example, white sharks.
Bear grizzly.
This brown bear has a second name – a grizzly bear. He lives in North America, being one of the most dangerous local creatures. A ferocious beast can stand on its hind legs. Thus, a predator weighing 400 kilograms can still reach a growth of 2 meters. The grizzly has powerful jaws and paws. These murder tools can kill a person. Nature has given the grizzly variety to eat, and large mammals are also among its victims. The danger for the victims of the bear is added by the fact that he not only runs fast, but also swims well. If a person meets a grizzly face to face, then this is fraught with trouble. It is best to stand up in such a situation and not let the beast begin to run. In pursuit of grizzly reaches a speed of 65 kilometers per hour. If from him to flee, then it can excite a hunting instinct in a bear.
It is not for nothing that this animal is called the king of beasts. After all, the power of the lion allows him to hunt for the largest animals, such as buffalo and wildebeest. Good luck in the hunt brings and the fact that the lions often act together. These predators live together, their social groups are called prides. And all members of the pack take part in the hunt. Already from an early age young lions learn to take their place in the pride. Adult representatives of the pack play with the young in the hunt. These skills will be useful later in adulthood. In addition, this game allows you to identify what role in the future hunting can better perform a young predator. And the hunting of lions does not always go well, failures happen more often than victories. Nevertheless, it is worth considering the size of predators, their strength and potential victims.All this suggests that lions are one of the most dangerous animals in nature.
White shark.
This creature is the real master of the sea. If sharks have chosen someone as their victim, then there is practically no chance to escape from the living being. Undoubtedly, this large fish is considered the most important natural predator. After all, she has the most wonderful abilities of a hunter. The streamlined shape of the shark's body allows it to move quickly, and powerful jaws do not leave the victim a chance. The hunter knows how to make sharp maneuvers, sharks in the pursuit of the victim can even jump out of the water. Having fallen into the mouth of a predator, the victim can not escape from there – there she has a lot of sharp teeth. At the same time losing one of them, the shark gets by nature a new one, no less acute. It is believed that for a lifetime shark can change to 50 thousand teeth. In the process of hunting, a white shark makes a test bite of its victim. This wound should weaken prey, the predator is waiting at this time. Only after some time the white shark again attacks the victim and begins to eat it. Such a cautious technique allows the predator to eat without much danger to himself. The victim simply does not have time to respond to an unexpected blow, and then she simply does not have the strength to do so.

Surrey County Council has confirmed its commitment to preserving Heathrow's status as the UK's hub airport because of the huge economic benefits it brings.
Around 10,000 people in Surrey work at Heathrow with a further 4,000 in related jobs and more than 200 of the UK's top 300 companies are based within 25 miles of the airport.
It is estimated that tens of thousands further jobs have been created by firms that have moved to be close to Heathrow.
Those firms have helped Surrey generate more than £30 billion annually for the UK economy – more than cities like Birmingham, Liverpool and Leeds – and the county contributes more income taxation to the Exchequer than anywhere except the City of London.
At a meeting of the Full Council, Surrey County Council Deputy Leader Peter Martin set out Heathrow's economic importance. In addition, he underlined that thousands more people in Surrey depend on Gatwick Airport for work.
Heathrow today submitted its proposals to an independent commission looking at raising the UK's airport capacity. An interim report is due to be published in December, with its final conclusions made public in 2015.
Mr Martin said: "What we have here and now is one of the world's busiest airports with substantial infrastructure already in place.
"Even the possibility of the loss of Heathrow as a hub would be bad. Uncertainty is a huge concern for businesses. That alone may cause companies wishing to locate to or expand in the UK to be put off, or to choose another country and businesses already based in Surrey may be tempted to go elsewhere.
"We recognise there are issues regarding any expansion of the airports and are clear that measures to address the environmental and transport impact of any development would need to be put in place alongside any increase in flights.
"Indeed we would like to see the Government and the aviation industry prioritise spending now on reducing overcrowding on trains to the airports and congestion on roads around them."
Brian Farrugia, Chairman of economic development organisation Surrey Connects, said: "The importance of having a strategic airport hub at Heathrow and capacity at Gatwick cannot be understated as it is vital to the future success of Surrey's economy.
"This makes Surrey a highly attractive place for companies trading internationally, and our connectivity attracts global business investment and secures jobs for local people."

I got the following error when I had migrated a customer from a Small Business Server to our local Hosted Exchange.
Outlook on a domain looks to Active Directory to get the auto discover information. If you run the Outlook connectivity tester on the affected computer, you will see that it returns the local SBS server autodiscover settings, even if you have configured Outlook to use an external provider.
The simplest way to fix this if the SBS server is still in used and Exchange is still installed, is to run the following commands:
Get-ClientAccessServer | Set-ClientAccessServer -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://mail.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
get-autodiscovervirtualdirectory | Set-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl https://mail.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml -InternalUrl https://mail.externaldomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
This then points the Outlook client to the correct external Autodiscover service.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Diabetes and yeast infections: what you need to know
Most yeast infections are caused by the Candida fungus.
Yeast lives naturally in our bodies. However, if it begins to overgrow and become a yeast infection, it may cause problems.
Yeast can be found in the skin and near mucous membranes and helps to keep neighboring bacteria in check. A buildup of yeast is called a yeast infection and can cause pain, itchiness, and discomfort.
In this article, we explore the causes, symptoms, and possible treatments for yeast infections.
Yeast thrives in warm moist areas so yeast infections can occur in several places:
- the mouth
- the genitals
- beneath the breasts
- under folds of skin
Out of these, vaginal yeast infections are the most common.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 75 percent of women will have had a vaginal yeast infection at least once in their lives.
How diabetes and yeast infections are linked
People with poorly-controlled diabetes are at a higher risk of more severe and frequent yeast infections.
Researchers are still trying to understand completely how diabetes is linked to yeast overgrowth. However, there is evidence of several possibilities:
Extra sugars in yeast-friendly areas
When blood glucose levels are high, extra sugars may be secreted in:
- mucus
- sweat
- urine
As yeast feeds on sugar, these secretions are the most obvious culprits for overgrowth.
Increased levels of glycogen, a polysaccharide used to store glucose, also occur with diabetes. Extra glycogen in the vaginal area can lead to a decrease in pH, which aids yeast growth.
A study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology provides evidence for this, using female diabetic rats.
Compromised immune system
Poorly-controlled diabetes has been shown to hinder the immune response. This could be part of the reason why someone with diabetes might have difficulty fighting off yeast infections.
The exact link between diabetes and the immune system is still being investigated. However, a 2015 study revealed that hyperglycemia could lead to the suppression of immune proteins. These proteins are called beta-defensins, which help immune cells move towards infections and kill microbes.
With these functions blocked, a yeast infection that could be averted easily in a healthy person might thrive in someone with uncontrolled diabetes.
Other factors
Once the yeast has colonized an area, it is easier for an infection to return. As such, someone who is susceptible to yeast infection, due to poorly-controlled diabetes, will also be at a higher risk of recurring problems.
Diabetes can also make it easier for yeast and other pathogens to cling to skin cells and mucous glands. This may be because of the presence of extra sugars, which allows yeast to colonize at unhealthy levels.
An appointment to see a healthcare professional should be booked if a woman shows signs of a vaginal yeast infection.
Yeast infections may manifest in a variety of ways in different parts of the body.
A skin infection might cause slight discoloration or an itchy, scaly rash. In men, a genital yeast infection might result in an itchy rash on the penis.
While male genital yeast infections are much less common than vaginal yeast infections, men with poorly controlled diabetes are at a higher risk.
There are several common signs of a vaginal yeast infection. Women should consult a doctor if they notice:
- vaginal itching, burning, or pain
- a cottage-cheese-like discharge
- burning or pain while urinating
- unpleasant odor
Even if a person's symptoms seem to match those of a yeast infection, it is important to visit a doctor rather than self-diagnosing. This is because yeast infections share symptoms with urinary tract infections and certain sexually transmitted infections. These things are more serious than a yeast infection and require different treatment.
To diagnose a vaginal yeast infection, a doctor will most likely take a vaginal secretion sample.
This sample is examined under a microscope to determine whether it contains an abnormal amount of Candida fungus, the type of yeast most often involved in infections.
A doctor may also take a urine sample to test for other infections.
If a doctor determines that someone's symptoms are due to a yeast infection, there are several ways it may be treated.
Antifungal creams or suppositories
A doctor will usually try these first, as they work well if a yeast infection is in its early stages.
Most antifungal creams can be applied to the affected area for up to 7 days, depending on a doctor's advice. Antifungal creams and suppositories are available over the counter, but it is important to consult a doctor before using them. This is for two reasons.
Firstly, the person may be dealing with something other than a yeast infection. Secondly, if these medications are used too frequently, yeast can become resistant to them.
Oral antifungal medication
If a cream or suppository does not work, or if one has experienced several yeast infections in a short time, a doctor might prescribe an oral antifungal medication.
A common medication prescribed is fluconazole, or Diflucan. One dose of fluconazole is often enough to cure an infection.
Home and natural remedies
There are ways people can treat a yeast infection at home. These include using:
- over-the-counter creams
- yogurt
- boric acid
- oil of oregano
- coconut oil
- tea tree oil
While some find these remedies helpful, if they do not clear the infection it is important to try another option or to speak to a doctor.
Outlook and prevention
Yeast infections are very treatable, even in individuals with diabetes.
According to the CDC, a short-course of oral antifungal medication works in 80-90 percent of cases. If an infection is not cured this way, it can usually be tackled with a longer course of therapy.
However, it is still important to seek care for a yeast infection, as early as possible. If untreated, a yeast infection will persist and become more uncomfortable. There is also a chance that a genital yeast infection may be passed between sexual partners.
Simple steps to prevent an infection may include avoiding scented tampons and pads.
Once a yeast infection has been treated, there are simple steps that can be taken to prevent future infections:
- Choose cotton underwear and breathable fabrics, and avoid tight-fitting pants.
- Avoid scented soaps, douches, and scented tampons and pads. These products can alter vaginal pH, upsetting the natural balance of yeast and bacteria.
- Be sure to dry well after bathing, and keep genitals and skin folds clean and dry throughout the day.
- Eat yogurt, or try probiotic supplements.
Though the effectiveness of this last approach needs more evidence, the United States Office of Women's Health suggest that eating 8 ounces a day of yogurt, containing live probiotic cultures, or taking Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic capsules, might help to prevent yeast infections. Saccharomyces boulardii is another probiotic strain that has been shown to combat yeast overgrowth.
Aside from this, the most important preventative measure for people with diabetes is to achieve better blood glucose control.
With the help of their doctor, people may come up with a plan to have lower, more stable blood glucose levels. This might involve changing their diet, adding an exercise routine, or adjusting their insulin or medication regimen.
Avoiding hyperglycemia is not just important for preventing yeast infections. It is also beneficial to the following:
- cardiovascular health
- nervous system function
- vision
- skeletomuscular health
- overall well-being

We are a lifestyle brand, so we wanted our website to mimic this lifestyle and go past simply purchasing clothes. We update the site frequently with new photographs that continually drive traffic to the site.
To coincide with this, our marketing through social media and events encourages interaction with the website. Promotional products, Freebie Fridays, and weekly contests, help us keep people interested in what we are doing.
As we continue to grow, we are moving towards product launches that mimic our marketing. Seasonal lines are great for enormous corporations and high-end fashion, but we want people to be excited about our products constantly. By adding new products frequently, we can better achieve interaction and strong sales.

What are your top recommendations for new store owners?
Our top recommendation is to be flexible, lean, smart. To help you do this, read "The Lean Start-up" by Eric Reis. The book speaks mostly about technology, however, the strategies and concepts can be applied to any industry.
The "The Lean Start-up" essentially preaches the idea to try and constantly improve your product through testing and interactions with clients.
Although difficult for a clothing company, we are constantly changing the design and content on our website, our line, and our marketing, to improve the experience for the customer.

Are you a dog owner? Was a canine friend a part of your family in the past? If this is the case you are aware of how great it is to own a dog. However, dog ownership comes with responsibilities. Neglect these responsibilities and you will miss out on many of the rewards of being a pet owner. This piece will offer terrific advice for any dog owner.
Your dog cannot speak, so you have to interpret non-verbal cues. If you notice the dog being hesitant in a new situation, don't force your dog to socialize if it doesn't want to. One of the animals could become aggressive. Pay attention to the posture of the dogs and let them take their time.
If you have medications at home, ensure that it is safely hidden away and out of the reach of your dog. If your dog has access to these pills, there can be fatal consequences. Call the vet immediately if you suspect that the dog has swallowed the medication.
Consult with your vet about the types of foods that are good for your dog. A puppy's stomach may not be able to properly digest certain brands, sometimes causing an adverse reaction. Be cautious of what you feed your dog.
When you first notice behavior problems in your dog, take proper steps to correct the behavior. When you let it go, he thinks it is okay to do. Bad behaviors that are left uncontrolled can result in human injuries to you, your child, your friend or your neighbor. This is why it's important to nip them in the bud immediately!
There are more advantages to daily brushing of your dog than just keeping your home hair free. Their coat will become shinier when they are brushed everyday. When you brush a dog, you are moving the skin's oils evenly throughout its fur, so it really makes the fur shine and feel great.
Exercise your dog frequently. Dogs need consistent physical activity to ensure they are physically and mentally fit. Your dog will be happy with any kind of activity, even if it's just going for a walk or throwing them a ball. It gives you exercise and helps develop a relationship that will last forever with your dog.
Properly teach your dog how to walk with a leash. He needs to know to heel next to you, not behind you or in front of you. Doing this will not only be easier on you, but it will also keep your dog safe. By having your dog understand this command, it will be very helpful for most situations.
As mentioned in the introduction, dog ownership can have many rewards. It's better when you're knowledgeable about dogs. After reading the previous article, you now should understand better the joys of dog ownership. Use what you have learned here and you will have a great time with your pet!

We are pleased to announce that three schools using 3P Learning resources have been featured in the Top 10 of the recent Parent Power English Primary Schools league table, as published in The Sunday Times.

The Essentials of Systems – 101
Crucial Aspects to Consider when Choosing a Software Developer
When looking at businesses, you realize that they are always in constant development or rather checking for ways to improve the venture as well as attracting more clients. It is only when you have the right providers that you can get the best software development service providers. Here are some of the things that you need to have right to get the best developers for your software needs.
The first thing that you need to consider is the experience that they have in the software development industry. Before you hire them, check the kind of tools they use and whether they are up to date. After seeing what they are capable of doing, you can now make the right choices.
The second thing that you need to consider is the kind of customer service and support that they have as you will need to be in constant communication with them. As a client in this case, you need to always remember that it is a service that you are paying for and deserve the best treatment.
Every business owner has the ambitions or hopes that one day, their business will grow productively and even give birth to other investments. When choosing software development professionals, it is essential for you to check the one that is in a position to create the most scalable ones so that when the time comes for change, you just make a few adjustments and proceed on. With the scalable applications, you realize that it gets easier for you as you have the guarantee of scalability; you will not need to go to the developers once more when your business advances.
Given that the past clients are the ones that write the reviews on the sites of the developers, you will need to invest your time and extensively read them. It is only when you read these reviews that you gain additional insight on making the right choices when it comes to the software developers; you know who is ideal and who is not. In addition to this, if you are browsing the applications and you find one that you like or feel could fit yours, you can talk to the owners and seek for referrals or recommendations.
As the client, there is the need for you to ensure that you check the cost that the developers are offering you so that you can determine whether they are affordable and reasonable for you. Even the cost is not a sole deciding factor, you will need to make sure that you are getting a developer that is capable of delivering quality services and value for your money.

By the Numbers
Featuring brief segments of economic analysis from our senior economist Michael Bazdarich, PhD.
The economic analysis we previously featured in By the Numbers is now available on the Western Asset Blog. This page will no longer be updated.
March Retail Sales: It Might as Well Not Be Spring
Retail sales rose in March, but just barely, following three straight declines. Headline sales were up 0.9% in March, and February sales levels were revised up by 0.1%. However, for the more closely watched control group, which excludes cars, gasoline, and building materials, sales were up only 0.4%, and February sales levels were revised downward by 0.2%. On net, underlying sales levels in March were up only 0.2% from where we thought they were in February based on initial reports.
The accompanying chart tells the story. After an apparent pick-up last fall, retail sales have come back to ground over the last four months. Through current March data, they are only slightly above the lackluster trend path that has held since late-2011.
A month ago, we acknowledged possible weather effects holding down February sales, but we argued that the main story was a "three steps forward, two (three?) steps backward" process, whereby the economy couldn't maintain any momentum toward a faster growth path. Today's data affirm that assessment. If the severe winter weather indeed held down sales in February, there was little or no "payback" of those effects in March alongside the spring thaw. There is more than just the weather underlying these data.
Within individual store types, both grocery and restaurant sales were especially soft, after restaurants had seen strong sales growth in the fall. Car sales reversed their February declines, but no more than that. Sales at apparel and department stores registered slight gains that failed to fully reverse declines in January and February. Sales at electronics and appliance stores dropped for the sixth straight month, while sales at furniture, books/sporting goods, and building materials stores were at best flat on net over the last four months.
The consumer isn't dying, but neither has he perked up any recently.
Michael BazdarichProduct Specialist/Economist
Mike brings more than 43 years of experience to his position. "By the Numbers" will address economic data releases that are pertinent to a broad range of investors.

I'm stepping up to the plate to relieve my sister Nina this week. She's been terrific hunting up new ideas these past 5 challenges and I've enjoyed every one and learned lots. I spied this technique the other day and thought I'd take the challenge of it:
I find the host very helpful… but he does sort of go on for a bit… LOL, specially if you have to back up a few times. Great technique though!
Here is my take on this method:
Royal Langnickel Aqua Pen, Versafine ink in Onyx, Embossing powder, Stamp: Inkadinkado,Thin ribbon
I don't know the designer of the Designer Paper
i chose to bleach out the inside of the petals on this flower and I added some lovely mauve "bling" gems to the floral center.
Hope you enjoy checking out Nina and Judy's blogs too!Blogger Labels: Challenge,Card,Image,Nina,ideas,technique,Enter,caption,host,times,Great,Here,method,Supplies,Royal,Langnickel,Aqua,Versafine,Onyx,Stamp,Inkadinkado,Thin,ribbon,Designer,Paper,gems,Hope,Judy

At this time we need to take care of some housekeeping so that we can stay focused on helping to keep our students competitive. Rather than to take from the funds that benefit the students, we are asking for some help.
