Do you use the Environmental Working Group's 2019 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists to help you do your produce shopping? Then grab your cloth bags and head on out to the farmer's market and produce aisles!
Dirty or clean, fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients and fiber and are a must on anyone's daily menu. But it helps to know which of your produce purchases may be packing more pesticides than others, especially if you cannot find organic options.
The EWG's analysis is based on data provided by the US Department of Agriculture and included 40,900 samples of 47 different conventionally grown fruits and veggies for 2019. Before the produce was tested, it was washed and peeled. Overall, the analysis found 225 different pesticides on produce that was sold in the United States.

If you are a regular follower of the EWG lists, you will see two ol' timers topping the 2019 Dirty Dozen list: strawberries and spinach. However, a surprising third place member is kale. More than 92 percent of the kale samples were found to have two or more pesticide residues on them. The most commonly detected pesticide was Dacthal, which was classified as a possible human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1995.
Overall, the EWG noted that nearly 70 percent of the fruits and vegetables sold in the United States have pesticide residues.
The 2019 Dirty Dozen list
Here are a few other things you should know about the Dirty Dozen for 2019:
- Conventionally grown spinach contains more pesticide residue by weight than any other produce tested by the USDA.
- 98 percent of nectarines contains at least one pesticide
- Conventionally grown apples are often treated with diphenylamine, which prevents the fruit from changing color during storage. Peeling the fruit may help remove the chemical, but with it goes much of the nutrients and fiber
- More than 90 percent of cherries tested positive for two or more pesticides
- Since 2010, the amount of pesticide residue on pears has more than doubled
- Celery was at the top of the EWG list in 2010, so it's doing better but you should still choose organic

Clean 15 list
The fruits and veggies that are the least contaminated with pesticides are included in the Clean 15 list. Here are the winners:
Bottom line
The EWG's 2019 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists can help you make decisions about your fruit and vegetable purchases. However, generally it is best to choose organic produce whenever possible. When it is not available or feasible, be sure to thoroughly wash and/or peel conventionally grown fruits and vegetables to help ensure minimal exposure to pesticides.

New homes could pose flood risk, neighbours fear
Archant © 2004
Concerned neighbours fear building 20 new homes on old farmland could increase the risk of flooding.
Michael Howard Homes wants to build a mixture of two to five-bedroom homes and one-bedroom apartments at Street Farm, Witnesham - part of which used used to be a pig farm.
The developer argues that building on the land "removes an unsightly collection of dilapidated buildings from the village" and helps to meet the area's housing needs.
Seven of the 20 homes will also be designated as "affordable".
You may also want to watch:
However neighbours in nearby Giles Way have objected to the plans, saying that the new properties would overlook their homes and increase the risk of flooding.
One objector wrote: "One of our major concerns is the flooding aspect.
"In a wet period the river swells to the extent it over spills into our garden. Will this be exacerbated by some 20 houses being so close?"
The resident also said the noise from the new development "will undoubtedly have a detrimental major impact on our property".
Planning officers have recommended that the application be approved when it is heard by councillors in East Suffolk this week.
However that is subject to a number of conditions, including the developers submitting further details about the drainage plan for the properties.

The proposal to change the designation of 347 hectares of Tehran's lands from commercial zone to public green space was endorsed by Tehran Municipality's Article 5 Commission on Monday.
The scheme is slated to be submitted to the High Council for Urbanization and Architecture for final approval.
Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf's plan proposes that the area of land borderd by Niayesh and Chamran highways and Valiasr Street, which currently covers the Tehran International Permanent Fairgrounds, change from an "S" classification (including commercial and industrial activities) to "G111" (public urban green space with minimum construction).
Qalibaf has come under increasing pressure by environmentalists in recent years for his office's apparent affinity toward demolishing green spaces in favor of building skyscrapers.
The plan's "contribution to Tehran's per capita green space and ecological conditions" were among the motives behind the proposal, according to the TM-run Persian daily Hamshahri.
Given the scale of the project and its potential role in addressing issues such as air pollution, the plan is expected to sail through the high council.
According to data from Tehran's Governorate, there are currently 2,160 public parks in the metropolis and per capita green space stands at 16 square meters.
Pejman Pashmchizadeh, deputy for architecture and urbanization at the municipality, pointed to the benefits of the plan for the city, noting that if the area retains its current 'S' designation, it will not be used in a way that would benefit residents of the sprawling capital.
"Thanks to this proposal, the area will merge with Mellat Park and Enqelab Sports Complex to create an outstanding public space for Tehran's residents," he said.
The municipality has also suggested turning parts of Evin Prison in northern Tehran into a park and Pashmchizadeh said the TM is currently negotiating with the Iran Prisons Organization.
"Since the prison is located in the vicinity of the fairgrounds, the potential (positive) impacts of changing sections of it into green space would be immense," he said.
Sun City (Shahr-e-Aftab) Complex in the southern suburban Tehran was launched in May to replace Tehran's aging fairgrounds. The project was aimed at tackling the troubles that the previous location caused, including heavy traffic in highways and the resultant air and noise pollution.

March 24, 2017 - Comments Off on Going Beyond the Placement: The New Era of Recruitment
Going Beyond the Placement: The New Era of Recruitment
In response to changing client demand, Milburn Lewis is actively providing market intelligence to clients.
To quote the legendary Bob Dylan, "the times they are a-changin." This is even more true today than it was when it was written in 1963. Milburn Lewis has written extensively about the need for change in the recruitment industry, and we have also practiced what we preach.
Let's be honest with ourselves, recruitment is no longer simply the task of introducing professionals to clients. Rightly, in our opinion, clients now expect more for their money and that has led to a vacuum that Milburn Lewis is happy to fill. Big 4 clients now want unparalleled access to informed and engaged consultants, unbiased counsel on best recruitment practices and accurate market research.
Not every recruitment firm has the talent, ability and, frankly, the desire to provide such a service. We believe that this is a reason Milburn Lewis has been so successful. Unlike many international recruiters, our consultants are experts in their chosen discipline, having spent years developing professional networks and market knowledge. Milburn Lewis also boasts an outstanding research function, which not only assists consultants in identifying exceptional professionals but also has the methodological training to undertake advanced market research projects.
Milburn Lewis is founded on the simple belief that, "good recruitment is all about relationships". We believe that this is why we have been able to acquire Big 4 clients around the globe. Our desire to go above and beyond our competitors has allowed us to foster those relationships.
It's a tough time for business. Even the largest companies – including the Big 4 – are recognising that it is a challenging time, with a challenging economy. Our clients engage Milburn Lewis to identify the most skilled professionals for their business. However, they must also be able to attract that talent during the interview process. As a result, we have observed our Big 4 clients becoming increasingly concerned with how the market perceives them.
This is an area in which we are actively assisting our clients. As one of our key clients develops its presence in a non-traditional service line, it is critical for them to understand the perceptions potential employees have of them. Milburn Lewis has been approached to assist with this understanding due to its industry knowledge, research function and desire to undertake such work.
In executing this research project, our senior consultants are utilising their vast networks to identify the most pertinent professionals to this study. Our researchers are applying a mixed-methods approach, utilising their skills in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to ensure our clients have the fullest picture.
Having the ability to provide this service is invaluable to both our clients and candidates. We are able to acquire a fuller and deeper understanding of the markets we are active in, which allows us to provide the best service possible to not only our clients, but also the professionals we speak to every day.
Recruitment firms can no longer afford to provide a narrow service of finding candidates, submitting CVs and hoping it results in a fee. We as an industry must continue to evolve and adapt to the growing needs of our clients. It is only by embracing this change that we are going to maintain the solid relationships that good recruitment is based on.

The agreement should bring a technology previously confined mostly to powerful workstation computers into the mainstream PC market.
OpenGL is a software interface for producing high-quality color images of 3D objects. The SGI interface, commonly referred to as an application programming interface (API) will allow developers to create 3D applications that use SGI's advanced technology.
"OpenGL is an important 3D graphics standard for visual computing and it will greatly facilitate the flow of workstation graphics technologies to volume platforms," said Albert Yu, a senior vice president and general manager of Intel's microprocessor group, in a prepared statement.
Intel is making a big push into 3D graphics technology to create markets for its Pentium Pro processor and its upcoming Pentium II processor. The company is also expected to come out with a 3D graphics chip of its own this year. (Intel is an investor in CNET: The Computer Network.)
Compaq, graphics board makers Elsa and Number Nine Visual Technologies, graphics chipmakers 3Dfx Interactive and Rendition, as well as InterDimension, a supplier of multimedia subsystems, are also new licensees of OpenGL.
Competing technologies include the Direct3D API from Microsoft (MSFT) and QuickDraw 3D from Apple (AAPL).

Wondering regarding partnerships in between partners in Russia? Listed here is actually the listing of normal grievances of russian wives wives regarding their other halves.
1. He never ever aids around your house.
Cosmo.ru posted a listing of constant issues that russian wives wives vocal regarding their husband or wives. What are actually the primary complaints that trigger differences in couples in Russia?
2. He does not understand everything concerning children.
In 1960s girls in the USA were actually investing 30 hrs once a week on household chores, as compared to 4 hrs through males. Currently the circumstance is actually much better, along with girls devoting 18 hrs as compared to 10 hrs through individuals. In today's Russia the circumstance in family members corresponds to what was actually taking place in 1950s in the USA. Guys perform incredibly little bit of around your house besides the moments when the house needs to have restoration, which is actually commonly when every handful of years. The remainder of housekeeping is actually thought about a lady's task: preparing food, cleansing, cleaning, ironing, buying. Thus, russian wives females whine concerning guys certainly not aiding around our home, yet together females observe a person that carries out research as effeminate as well as certainly not a "actual male".
3. He is actually continuously participating in video game.
Research presents that fathers in Russia invest pretty a ton of opportunity along with youngsters, however their interaction design is actually various as matched up to moms. Moms really feel that papas do not always remember info regarding children, like their favorite personalities or even films.
4. He consumes a lot of.
Or even perhaps the hubby is actually devoting way too much opportunity online in socials media, or even structure version ships. The spouse's preferred leisure activity disturbs along with the domesticity, the wives grumble.
5. He earns negative food items.
If you wish to know whether russian wives males definitely consume a whole lot, the agreement is they perform undoubtedly. Each guys as well as women concede that alcoholism is actually a complication in Russia.
6. He acquires funds.
Husbands earn potato chips, hamburgers as well as various other meals that is actually out the listing of well-balanced items, while wives are actually making an effort to slim down and also remain slim.
7. He does not perform wonderful points for the other half.
In various other terms, spouses take fundings or even invest funds on bank card without seeking advice from wives. However each of all of them need to pay for the fundings back.
8. He snores.
Women enjoy interest yet usually they experience that mentioning plainly what they prefer quashes the initiative. Simply put, if she needs to inform him what to accomplish, performing good points does not matter. Girls throughout the globe dream individuals to become thoughts viewers. russian wives females will like their males to review their thoughts, also. Usually, girls fantasize around easy indicators of interest: florals, a mug of coffee in garden, an excellent bye caress in the early morning.
9. He believes the better half is actually "performing every thing inappropriate".
This issue is actually timeless all over the world. The methods to repair it are actually likewise global.
Meet all of them today!
Constant objection as well as contrasting exactly how the spouse is actually carrying out traits along with the mom's method of dealing with property is actually a significant turn off for wedded russian wives home girls. The cause is actually that males often relocate coming from their moms and dad's residence where the mom was actually performing whatever to coping with the spouse, without ever before being accountable for on their own as well as surviving their very own. Thereby, when the partner is actually carrying out one thing in a different way, partners grumble concerning her "performing points incorrect". However they do not seek to carry out it "accurately" by themselves.
Previously, our company stated on 7 grievances of Ukrainian wives regarding other halves. The troubles that gals knowledge in relationships in Ukraine resemble problems of russian wives wives concerning their other halves.
This web site utilizes Akismet to minimize spam. Find out just how your remark information is actually refined.
"He certainly never assists around our home" in Russia our experts consistently perform female's work: food preparation, cleansing, cleaning, ironing, purchasing. Since hubby at the office throughout the day as well as the spouse attends to the entire family members or even his earnings is actually more than that of his other half. Specifically when a girl is actually resting at property along with a little one on the pregnancy vacation. This is actually a typical heritage for russian wives girls. A male is actually merely repairing one thing in your house. All ladies fuss regarding this, yet still carry out coming from year to year))
"He does not understand just about anything regarding children" It is actually all loved one, all these factors. There is actually no aspect regarding infidelity to the husband or wife. A lot of the lady herself … … relies on her individuality.
Those problems are actually certainly not simply for russian wives married couples, however additionally the majority of various other pairs in the USA, Canada, India…… worldwide.
Mr.Trump's x-wife subjected just recently he had actually certainly never transformed his child( Ivanka Trump) nappies when she was actually a child.
therefore, All of pair problems are actually scenario through instance, certainly not cosmos coming from their personal lifestyles.
Even though the factor concerning snoring created me grin, all the various other are actually truly frustrating. Isn't it unfortunate that numerous fashions (like alcohol consumption) as a matter of fact are actually true concerns in Russia and also several various other nations? I really hope certainly not just girls yet guys will certainly review this and also it will certainly create all of them presume.
Well, I may state that a lady performs a bunch of job, however a male carries out operate also. Partners must appreciate one another as well as the job which each of all of them carry out.
Not consistently females get married to properly. Yet such concerns are actually certainly not simply one of russian wives ladies. To satisfy a russian wives female you require to comprehend her as well as recognize what she desires. Her insurance claims are actually warranted if she herself meets all these aspects.
The troubles of misconception need to be actually common all over the globe. The only variation is actually that Russian ladies typically possess much more determination than western side females as well as expect a lengthy opportunity, also the entire lifestyle, that their spouse will definitely transform someday.

Light Work is pleased to present the work of photo-collage and video artist Suné Woods, To Sleep With Terra. This will be Woods' first solo exhibition with Light Work since her residency here in 2016. The exhibition will be on view in the Kathleen O. Ellis Gallery at Light Work from August 28―October 19, 2017, with an opening reception with the artist on Wednesday, September 13, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
As part of the opening reception, we invite gallery patrons to a special presentation at 6:00 p.m. infused with wordplay, found imagery, sound and moving images in multi media form by Woods, award-winning poet Fred Moten, and Syracuse University Professor and musicologist James Gordon Williams. Titled You are mine. I see now, I'm a have to let you go, this collaboration was generously supported by Syracuse University's Humanities Center and is part of the 2017-18 Syracuse Symposium: Belonging.
Los Angeles-based artist Suné Woods creates multi-channel video installations, photographs, sculpture, and collage. In the exhibition, To Sleep with Terra, Suné Woods uses a variety of source material from books, magazines and news media to create three-dimensional collages and video. Together, this body of work challenges our notions of photography and explores the terror of a technological society spinning out of control.
Woods created this work in 2015 during a period of extreme racial violence, police brutality, and mass shootings. Woods says 2015 was no more violent than previous years, but what shifted was growing documentation by citizen journalists that undermined the public's denial and disbelief. For the artist, the process of tearing, crumpling, layering, and recombining photographic imagery was "the best way for me to articulate the complicated sensations that were arising while processing these streamed documentations of violence, ecological disaster, and a desire to understand more deeply how seemingly disparate things relate when they are mashed up in a visual conversation."
This mash-up of imagery is reminiscent of how we consume information every day―sometimes minute by minute―as we scroll through a frenetic onslaught of global disasters, degradation, and violence.
Suné Woods has participated in residencies at Headlands Center for the Arts, Vermont Studio Center, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, and Light Work. Woods has received grant support from Visions from the New California, as well as The John Gutmann Fellowship Award, and The Baum Award for an Emerging American Photographer. She has exhibited her work at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Lowe Art Museum, Miami, and The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2010 and is currently Visiting Faculty at Vermont College of Fine Art.

The first international warming fable many people hold is that the science of global warming is too uncertain to act on. Nothing might be farther from the reality, as scientists are in settlement over the fundamental details of worldwide warming, together with the truth that world warming is going on and that human activities, like burning fossil fuels and chopping down forests, intensify world warming's results on our planet. Fashionable scientists though have tested the success of area know-how in the type of spacecraft, house mission i.e. moon mission, mars mission and plenty of different issues however the scientists are still on job for locating many unknown things about universe and like earth every other planet or stars have residing being risk or not. Society, parents, colleges and fashionable media all perpetuate the parable that women haven't got the brains or capacity to be scientists.
Lastly, the schools in New York provide no less than one computer for instruction for every 4.2 public school students. Translation is the device to utilize the brand new expertise and science. As talked about above, both Arabic and English are nice world languages, so translation between this pair of languages is essential and important due to the various reasons mentioned previously.
Also Political relationships, wars, and conflicts make translation so important to have access to what is going on in different elements of the world, especially Arabic English translation, as English is the language of the large powers of the world, and the Arab region is the theatre, where very important occasions happen at present. Intellectual stimulation was found in the ever-forward march of science, the thrill in establishing 'truths' in humankind's history of attained knowledge – often reversed – or modified – or verified.
As a matter of truth, xanthones were first found when scientists started learning the well being advantages of mangosteen based mostly on its traditional indigenous medical uses. However, science translations supply a unique challenge, as there are specific phrases, measurements, and formulas that can be tough to translate to certain languages.
In consequence, science turned dominated by a variety of paradigms of analytic reductionism, narrowly-focused experimentation, null hypotheses; double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over research; a Large Bang resulting in Common Entropy, classical Newtonian concept, Einsteinian Relativity, quantum mechanics, scientific modeling (at all times incomplete), and the concept of evolution by natural choice which led at instances to standard fixations on "egocentric genes," "social Darwinism," and eugenics.

Recent research reported at Science Daily:
Narrow focus on physical activity could be ruining kids' playtime
While public health authorities focus on the physical activity benefits of active play, a new study from the University of Montreal reveals that for children, playing has no goal — it is an end in itself, an activity that is fun, done alone or with friends, and it represents "an opportunity to experience excitement or pleasure, but also to combat boredom, sadness, fear, or loneliness." "By focusing on the physical activity aspect of play, authorities put aside several aspects of play that are beneficial to young people's emotional and social health," explains Professor Katherine Frohlich of the university's Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, who supervised the study. "Play is a way to achieve various objectives, including the improvement of physical health and the development of cognitive and social aptitudes. Obviously, we…

I get annoyed by this insistence that there is an evidence base before you treat. I do agree that eventually there needs to be favourable evidence.However I think musculoskeletal medicine has not the kind of funds available to it as does that of Big Pharma and therefore it will take far longer to start to reach conclusions about our treatments.
I have a great example of what I mean.If I went to the medical establishment and said I have been using a box with a mirror on the outside and a patient puts their painful hand in the box, moves their non painful hand, looks at the reflection of the non painful hand and this appears to help to reduce the pain in the painful hand,the medical establishment would say this is the ultimate example of snake oil.However the renowned neuroscientist v s Ramachandran has been using this technique as a way of treating phantom and non phantom pain and neurological weakness (Stroke).It is based on recently discovered mirror neurones and appears to have some validity.However the reason it works is now being questioned and might be due to a crossed reflex .This may mean a bizzarre idea has effect but not due to the effect of mirror neurones but something else altogether.Now if something as strange as that can have positive therapeutic value why not being assessed,massaged,stretched,manipulated,given lifestyle,exercise and ergonomic advice and a thought through prognosis work?.
V s Ramachandran will be able to bring together a group of highly experienced researchers who will test his ideas out.Also they will have the knowledge and skills in producing strong peer reviewed evidence.
Osteopaths in the UK are a very small group and we work hard just to produce a living wage.We now have a research facility but it will take years before a view can be taken.Also everybody seems to think we are only useful as manipulators and research often looks at this element of treatment rather than looking at a whole treatment which brings together the elements stated above.To me it is far more useful to know if a treatment works rather than an element of a treatment that in reality lasts seconds.Sure it is useful to break down elements to see in time what is useful and what isn't but at this moment surely it is more useful to look at the validity of a whole treatment than a part.Otherwise it can be like saying 4 roast potatoes makes a Sunday roast!.
It is our responsibity to prove our use but please give us a break.
I have been practising osteopathy long enough now to notice not is all it seems.We attend college(4 years full time) and learn lots of things to do with our discipline,such as anatomy,physiology,neurology,orthopaedics and pathology .We attend clinics where we are taught various techniques to create a hands on application of our theoretical knowledge.We then go out and try to make a living.
But all is not as it seems.I felt early on that successful outcomes were often not what you did on the table ,but rather whether the patient liked you,felt comfortable,trusted you and wanted you to get them better.
Some of my best results have been through what I have said rather than what I did.
There is a lot of evidence to back this up.
Sham treatment often is as good or nearly as good as real treatment.A study has shown all therapies tend to get about the same results,gutting when you compare my education against somebody that has trained over a few weekends.
It seems it depends on whether the patient invests in the treatment.This would appear to set off some sort of neurological and hormonal cascade that results in patients feeling improvement and once improvement is felt I believe that the bridge has been crossed and the body can stick to that healing pathway.Its just the nudge that is required.This can be physical such as a click to the low back or a good explanation of why that person is experiencing the pain they have and to give ressurance where appropriate.
Sometimes it can be complicated and you may not be able to find the key.I feel this is where experience counts.Without wanting to sound up myself I think you start to get a feel for what kind of patient you are dealing with.Some need information,some the click,rub,stretch.Some need you to work out their lifestyle and suggest small but positive ways they can change their own patterns of behaviour.Some require to acknowledge their emotional pain.I also worked under a principal who had a "sergeant major" approach to his patients ,telling them off and this too could bring results.I think this may be because he was very self assured(a cocky git) and this probably had a comforting effect on the patient.
It cannot be coincidence that when somebody crawls into your room you often find that within the past few months they have lost a loved one or been made redundant,had a marriage break up etc.This "somatization"I believe is often underlying acute onsets and may well lead to chronic pain.This is tied into the stress hormone cortisol which has been seen to become pro inflammatory instead of its usual anti inflammatory state in the body.It can also stop the brain and spinal cord turning off the volley of messaging coming from the injured area.Remember pain is in the brain.Depressives and highly stressed people heal slower from cuts and musculoskeletal pain.
So manual therapists generally learn this through experience.Colleges I feel think this somehow beneath them to teach but I feel needs to be taught thoroughly as I am sure our successful outcomes would increase markedly.
This one goes out to all manual therapists.In a very Nick Hornby way give me your top 5 most worked on muscle groups.
Mine would be:-
1 Trapezius surely everyones favourite !.Never met anyone who didn't need a bit of work on it.
2 Erector spinae ,well I am an an osteopath after all
3 Glut max. I know Medius is far trendier but always needs attention with low back pain I feel.
4 Trickier now.Well I'm going to say scalenes.Always helps neck pains I feel.
5.As a group rotator cuff .Anyone else find the mixture of supraspinatus and teres minor irresistable?.
Next top 5 tender areas.
1 ITB brings water to my eyes thinking about it.
2 Lat head gastrocnemius.I don't know why but there you go.
3.Glut medius.Always a few juicy trigger points.
4.Adductors.Perhaps derverves to go up the list but just thought of it.
5.Psoas.Or is it my palpation technique ?.
Let me know your views.
Next most overlooked muscles.
1 Lat Dorsi.Even though i spend a lot of my practice life working on it it never enters my diagnostic thoughts.
2.Deltoid .Again big powerful muscle but don't you just prefer it to be the rotator cuff.
3.Abdominals.well they are on the front aren't they.
5.Serratus posterior.we love anterior but its namesake never gets a look in
Now the muscles I think are important that nobody else seems to.Or am i wrong?.
1. Splenius Capitis.Could be on my tender list but i feel is important in neck problems.
2 Tibialis Posterior.Oh those fallen arches.
3.Pec major/minor.Those office workers with protracted shoulders.Stretch,stretch,stretch!.
4.Whilst on the subject those inhibited rhomboids/lower trapezius need a bit of engaging.
5.The deep flexors of the neck.You just cannot get to them apart from with absurdly long needles(never had the guts to use).But feel need strengthening regularly.
I am an osteopath who practises acupuncture.I like to give exercise and ergonomic advice.I use a vibrogym in my practice for rehab and loan out weights,wobble boards and therabands for use at home.
I think this is now common throughout manual therapists.What are the differences between therapies?.This is something you are regularly asked by patients and generally fudge a response.The truth is that there may be a chiropractor or physio who is closer to my methods than a fellow osteopath.we all tend to borrow from one another and we would surely be foolish not to use techniques that are coming out of a different profession but have good evidence for effectiveness.
So is it time to bring all manual therapies under one umbrella of say"The society of manual therapists".I think so but feel that I would not be in the majority in my response.
This is because there are misunderstandings and jealousies between professions.Also there would be a lot of colleges doing themselves out of work.
But from a patient perspective it makes sense.They would have a much better idea of what they will be getting from an appointment.
Of course there are many varied techniques available but as we seek better truth through research as to what works and what doesn't surely we will all be singing from the same sheet.
The education would become less geared towards the differing philosophies and more geared to useful treatments.
For example we learn in great detail the history of osteopathy and forget to teach modern ideas of biomechanics .
So here starts the revolution.Well David Butler(an Australian physio) said it first on NOIgroup,but articulated something I have always felt.

Indonesian artist Mulyana has been roped in by Hermès to put his artistic interpretation of the Maison's 2019 theme, "In Pursuit of Dreams." The result is an immaculately hand-crocheted installation entitled "Irama" (Rhythm).
Known for his immersive creations, Mulyana's works stem from a personal dream of putting together a beautiful underwater home for the Mogus – an alter-ego that he has created as a way to express himself. Laboriously hand-crocheted, Mulyana presents each installation as a prayer and meditation.
In conceiving Irama (Rhythm), Mulyana dreams of himself as a musician, using each stitch as musical notes to compose a rhythm concurrent to the assembly of this spectacular coral dreamscape. Hermès objects find home within the coral clusters like treasures waiting to be discovered at the bottom of the sea.
Irama (Rhythm), as with Mulyana's other works, began as small organisms that bloom with quiet contemplation into vividly-coloured clusters. As the form of these clusters gradually develop with crocheting, the rhythm in accompaniment modulates. Dreams, according to Mulyana, are a built-up desire that requires momentum to bring into reality. With that, he offers Irama – a rhythm that he has composed to help make dreams come true.
"Because the success of a rhythm will always be remembered and sung. Just like a dream, it will always be remembered until it can be realized." - Mulyana
Irama (Rhythm) will be on display until 21 May 2019 at Hermès Liat Towers, 541 Orchard Road.

Where to go in Ukraine in the Summer – Odesa
No doubt, Odessa is beautiful in the summer, and if you are a foreign tourist and come to Ukraine for a couple of days in the summer, the ideal route is to visit Kiev, the capital of the country, see its beautiful sights, thousand-year history, temples, and then go for a beach holiday in Odessa. Odessa is also beautiful at night – millions of restaurants and nightclubs will not let you be bored. Everything that happens in Odessa, remains in Odessa. Therefore, we recommend this trip for companies of guys who like to have fun, want to have bachelor party, for noisy and big parties.
Where to go in Ukraine in the Winter – Lviv
If you like skiing, go exploring Western Ukraine with a visit to Lviv – a beautiful old town with fantastic themed restaurants.
You will visit the cities that were once part of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Romania. The region has its special culture, traditions and incredible nature.
Chernivtsi, Uzhgorod, Mukachevo are cities worth visiting. Bukovel is the best ski resort in Western Ukraine with excellent slopes, well-developed infrastructure, SPA, open-air pools, snow-covered mountains, restaurants and night clubs.
Another feature of Western Ukraine is wine production; so if you like fine liquors, think about Wine Tour in Ukraine.
Ukraine in Spring and Autumn – Kyiv
Kiev is the most beautiful city in Ukraine in spring and autumn. In the spring, the blooming of chestnuts (the symbol of Kiev) makes you smile, so we recommend going to parks; there are many of them, and indeed Kiev is one of the greenest cities in Europe.
If we speak about various activities, in spring Kiev comes to life. Here, street food festivals are held, world stars give concerts in the Palace of Sports or at the Olympic Stadium, Ukrainian fashion designers make their shows, and so on.
Those who like nature often choose Pushcha Voditsa, Trukhanov Island and recreation areas in the pine forest in Goloseevo. There are truly great places to have a picnic and get some fresh air.
Also take a look at Mezhyhirya Park. The history of this place is controversial: several years ago Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych lived here.
However, after the revolution he fled and now his house is considered a museum of corruption; yet nature, lakes, a small zoo, ducks and swans will please you.
Kiev Private City Tours:
- Kiev General Tour – the best start to get to know the city, for those who is here for the first time.
- Kiev Pechersk Lavra – the must-see sight of Kiev, the first monastery of Kyiv, full of legends.
- World War II Tour – the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War with 102 meters high Motherland Monument.
- Gastro Tour – for foodies who are interested in Ukrainian cuisine.
- Full day Tour – a mix of Old Town, Kiev Pechersk Lavra and the Museum of War.
- Mezhyhirya Tour – tour out of the city. New outstanding attraction and the symbol of corruption.
- Podil Tour – mysterious and cozy tour for those who like cute paths and old buildings.
- Street Art Tour – if you want to look at Kiev from a different angle.
- Kiev Bar Crawl – the best option for partygoers, because our beautiful lady guide will bring you to the hot spots of Kiev nightlife.
Tours to Chernobyl – CHERNOBYL TOUR
The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant happened on April 26, 1986 – the world witnessed one of the worst disasters in the history of mankind.
According to various sources, from 600 to 800 thousand people from all over the USSR took part in the remedial actions at the Chernobyl NPP. From 4,000 to 10,000 people died from the effects of the explosion. More than 70 thousand became disabled.
As a result of the Chernobyl explosion, 1.9 million people in Ukraine were exposed to radiation. In total 8.4 million people in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and other countries, in particular, Europe were affected.
This is a place in Ukraine that the whole world knows about!
Every year, more than 50 thousand foreign tourists come to Chernobyl, plus tourists from the CIS countries.
If you ever thought about diversifying your leisure time with original tourist trip, getting vivid emotions and unforgettable sensations – you should definitely visit the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone!
Of course, the company CHERNOBYL TOUR conducting tours to Chernobyl primarily cares about the safety and comfort of its guests, and is the #1 Company conducting tours of Chernobyl.

Today traveling to Ukraine is becoming more and more popular. Foreign tourists as one say that in its beauty Ukraine is not inferior to other European cities, and when it comes to prices it is much cheaper, which is good news. There is everything one may dream of in Ukraine: the sea, the mountains, the UNESCO monuments and the kind and sympathetic people. The question that torments tourists the most is the issue of security. Kiev, Odessa and Lviv are much safer than Berlin or London. Come and see!


text: When we repetitively think about a negative situation we have encountered we energetically reinforce and intensify the negative energies, and draw more of that kind of negativity to ourselves. A more powerful and constructive way to handle this would be to look at the situation from a higher perspective ~ learn the lesson that is being revealed ~ and then focus on what we DO WANT, and not what we don't want. Where our attention goes….energy always follows. Ask yourself: What do I want? This is where the focus of your energy should be. ~ Sabrina @howtoraiseyourvibration

This review was originally published in issue #252 of science-fiction magazine Interzone. You can buy back issues and subscribe to future issues at their shop.
When challenged, I usually describe myself as a lapsed fantasy fan, in much the same way as others might consider themselves lapsed Catholics. My journey into the world of genre started with the likes of J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis and Anne McCaffrey.
A large part of what ended up putting me off fantasy was a perceived lack of imagination within the confines of the genre itself. So you can see why Den Patrick's "The Boy with the Porcelain Blade" appealed to me.
A fantasy in a renaissance-ish Italian setting, rather than the medieval western European model which has become so prevalent; it claims to offer something different. Which is a good starting point for a novel of any genre.
The shame of it, from this reader's perspective, is that it fails to capitalise on that.

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana � Cassandra Plamondon and Danielle Dinardo of Leominster recently were initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society.
They were initiated at Framingham State University.
These residents are among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: One that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is "to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."

Firefighters said when they rushed into his home on the 4800 block of Tilden Avenue at about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, the two-story structure was completely engulfed. Flames were blowing out of the side door and firefighters had to go through the flames to get inside the home. Once inside, firefighters said the home was so full of smoke that it was pitch black.
Eitan's parents, Pauline and Gigi Djiji, were treated for burns, and his sister, Maya, 12, was taken to Providence Tarzana Medical Centre, where she was said to be in stable condition Friday. Four firefighters were injured during the rescue efforts. Three sustained second-degree burns to hands and extremities, and were taken to the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital. The fourth firefighter was taken to a hospital for a significant knee injury.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation Friday.

Making a poem out of a poem
In this step, we will be using the resources we have been exploring to create a short poem or couplet. A couplet is two lines of poetry. A couplet can, but doesn't have to rhyme. The type of poem we are going to make is called a cento. As you might be able to tell from the name, cento is from the Latin and it is an ancient form. A cento is normally longer than a couplet. For the sake of this exercise, a couplet is the shortest cento it is possible to make.
Here's why: a cento is a poem that is made from lines of other poems. It is a poetic collage. A one-line cento doesn't exist. It would just be a quotation from a poem. Let's look at an example taking a poem from each of one of our own poets: Helen's 'Scale'[1] and Michael's 'Mapping the Genome'.[2] Both can be found on the Poetry Foundation website (below). Because we are quoting only one line at a time, we are not infringing copyright. The poems are very different from each other. Another reader would make something completely different. One image that stands out in Michael's poem is that of 'tidy faded rooms with TVs on'. This is so far just a line from a poem, until we take a line from Helen's poem. A line like 'enough feathers for sixty pillows' might go well because the 'pillows' draw on the same homely set of words as 'rooms' and 'TVs'. Together they look like this:
tidy faded rooms with TVs on
enough feathers for sixty pillows
This is a cento. It may not make sense! It may not even be a complete poem. Yet there is a clear joining up of images here. For more information on centos and some examples of famous centos see the links below.
Now it's your turn. Choose two poems. Why not use the poems you already have? Your favourite poem and the new one from the previous exercises. Now, read them again and see if any line jumps out at you. Then read the next poem and see if you find a line that works together with the other. Put them together and you have your couplet!
Now copy the poem into the discussion. Please make sure you credit each line. Give the name of the poet, the poem and the source (i.e. copy and paste the weblink). It would also be great to hear the thinking behind your poem. Why did you choose these two lines? Was the exercise difficult? Do you think it was successful? What about everyone else's?
Remember the cento doesn't have to make sense. At least not in a logical way. It can be absurd, surreal, sad, bittersweet, meditative…the list is endless. Let yourself be surprised.

Saving, Transferring and Printing Documents
There are a number of ways in which you can transfer EMITS documents for your own use - either as files or as printed documents. The main advantage of transferring documents is that you can read them without having to connect to EMITS.
- Use your browsers "print" option to print to your local printer
- Use your browsers "save" or "save as" option to save individual pages to your computer - normally saved as HTML format
- Each time you access an Open Invitation To Tender document (for example, a Work Statement, a Letter of Invitation and so on), you are offered the opportunity to transfer it to your computer or to your e-mail address in pdf format (single document) or in zipped format (multiple documents). Each document transferred is given a filename containing the term 'AO' followed by the AO number, so you can easily identify which AO it is related to. To decompress a zip file and extract documents you will need software supporting standard zip formats, like WINZIP, OUTSIDE-IN, PKUNZIP, etc.
Once an Open Invitation to tender is created / modified, the related IITT is also updated with this new data. If there is no related IITT, an IITT is created as new Anticipation with status ISSUED.

Self-styled Godman Gets Two Years Jail in Sexual Assault Case
Published: 19th December 2015 04:36 PM | Last Updated: 19th December 2015 04:36 PM | A+A A-
SEHORE: A local court today sentenced a self-styled godman to two years rigorous imprisonment in a case of sexual assault of a Dalit woman.
Special Judge Dilip Kumar Mishra convicted Baba More Singh Thakur under IPC sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement) and relevant sections of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, after examining the evidences and going through the material on record.
Public prosecutor K K Sharma said the tantrik had told the 32-year-old woman, a resident of Jamni village here, that he will heal her of sickness through black magic when she approached him along with her husband in February this year.
The convict locked up the victim's husband in a room, and thereafter tried to outrage her modesty by criminal force on pretext of performing black magic on her, he said.
The woman raised an alarm and fled from the spot along with her husband and they then approached the police to lodge a complaint against Thakur, the prosecution added.

Florida District Court Issues Key Ruling in Mortgage Foreclosure Case
May 15, 2015
This decision may be a turning point where the Florida courts are recognizing that a borrower who does not pay cannot complain.
Previously, Florida appellate courts were strictly enforcing the acceleration requirements in mortgages. In Gorel v. The Bank of New York Mellon, Case No. 5D13-3272 (Fla. 5th DCA May 8, 2015), a Florida appellate court has now held that the failure of a default notice to specify a date not less than 30 days by which the default must be cured does not constitute a valid defense where the defective notice did not prejudice the borrower, because he made no attempt to cure the default. The court held that absent some prejudice, the breach of a condition precedent does not constitute a defense to the enforcement of an otherwise valid contract. This decision may be a turning point where the Florida courts are recognizing that a borrower who does not pay cannot complain. That is the law in Georgia, but until now, Florida has favored the borrower.

Def Leppard's Pyromania still stands as one of the best hard rock albums ever made. I don't know if there was really a bad song on the entire record. And Def Leppard came along at just the right time to take advantage of MTV becoming, for all intents and purposes, the world's biggest radio station.
Back in the days when Rick Allen was not the one-armed wonder and Phil Collen still owned shirts, Def Leppard graced us with one of the cheesiest videos ever with "Foolin'".
While this is mostly a performance video set on a cheap soundstage, this video gets high cheese marks for the inane, disjointed imagery interspersed throughout.
It starts off, for no apparent reason, with some strange harp player engulfed in flames. This harp player returns a couple of times throughout the video, again for no apparent reason.
When we move on to the pre-chorus, Joe Elliott is strapped to what appears to be some triangular shaped torture device. It's a recurring theme in the video. But the torture aspect is lost on me. Unless, of course, we count the torture of having to endure this.
The second verse introduces us to some sorceress witch-like character who apparently through her crystal ball is the one behind Elliot on the triangular torture device. Or maybe she is the one who sets Joe free. We never see her again.
Then there's just cheesy explosions following Joe Elliot through a poorly constructed narrow hallway of sorts.
Oh, then we have the band rising out of some pit with angel of death and skull imagery. That is just SO Def Leppard.
It's a great song from a great band and I probably spent way more time deconstructing this video than what was put into crafting it. Judge for yourself.
All in all, good fun. Back in the day it made for good video viewing. Now it makes for good fodder.

Book abstract:
The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden). Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events. Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Masè, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Önnerfors, and Jakub Wysmułek.

Managing migration for equitable developmentTuesday, April 18, 2017
New Delhi, April 17 -- It is no coincidence that in F. Scott Fitzgerald's magnum opus on the American dream, The Great Gatsby, just about every major character is a migrant in 1920s New York-the narrator Nick Carraway is from Minnesota, his neighbour Jay Gatsby from North Dakota, Gatsby's former girlfriend Daisy Buchanan is from Kentucky and her husband Tom from Chicago. Migration has been the cornerstone of the American way of life; people's ability to pack up and move brought dynamism to the US economy, ensuring that the right people could be matched with the right jobs at the right price, thereby enhancing productivity and spurring economic growth. However, this trend has been slowing for a while now. When the US Census Bureau began tracking migration in 1948, the annual mover rate was 20.2%. In 2016, it was down to an all-time low of 11.2%, according to data released last month. A Federal Reserve Board study published by Brookings Institution has similarly found that fluidity in the US labour market dropped by 10-15% since the 1980s. In short, working-age people are simply not moving like before. There are several theories for why America is becoming a "nation of homebodies": Nobel laureate Edmund Phelps argues that Americans are trapped in their own homes, especially after the 2008 crisis; David Schleicher at Yale Law School points to government policies which make it difficult for people to move across state lines. Others have pointed to the deteriorating quality of jobs (why move for a position that may become obsolete in a few years?) and the growing number of dual-income couples (it is harder for individuals to move if they must account for their partner's job preferences). The bottom line is that with Americans not moving to where the better-paying jobs are, economic growth may take a hit. Already, inequality in the US is soaring and some argue it's worse than in China. In this context, the Indian labour market offers a fascinating study in contrast-here, labour migration is on the rise but inequality hasn't dipped either. According to this year's Economic Survey, Indians are increasingly on the move and in much larger numbers than previously estimated. Based on the 2011 census and railway passenger traffic, the 2017 survey employs a new methodology to find that annual interstate labour mobility averaged five-six million people between 2001 and 2011, and that the average annual flow of migrants was close to nine million, significantly higher than the 3.3 million deduced from previous census readings. The new figures challenge conventional wisdom and lend themselves to an optimistic assessment of how integrated India's labour and goods markets are-especially when one also factors in the survey's high internal trade figures. Ideally, this free movement of goods and labour should have paved the way for lowering inequality within the country and bridging the gap between rich and poor states. This is what happened in China, for example, where poorer provinces have almost caught up with their richer counterparts. In India, however, the gap has grown along the north-south axis and the rural-urban divide. An Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) study analysing growth, employment and inequality notes: "The benefits of growth have been concentrated in the already richer states, leaving the poorest and most populous states further behind (i.e Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh...). In richer states, high growth rates have led to a boom in commercial and service sector activities, whereas in most of the poorest states agriculture is the main way of life... and industry is almost absent." The survey takes note of this problem and wonders "why greater internal integration has not led to a narrowing of income and consumption gaps across states". It offers two possible explanations: First, "governance or institutional traps" have crippled convergence and, second, India's reliance on "skill-intensive sectors rather than low-skilled ones" to fuel its economic growth has only accentuated pre-existing inequalities. Both lead to the dynamics of cooperative and competitive federalism, and raise the question: "Why isn't there pressure on the less developed states to reform their governance in ways that would be competitively attractive?" There are no easy or obvious answers but one thing is clear: While labour migration is a force of good, it has to be properly managed by the government to deliver the benefits in a just and equitable manner. In the poorer source states that see the most out-migration, it is imperative to improve education and health outcomes to deal with regional inequality. In the richer destination states, more so in urban megapolises like Delhi and Mumbai which are already bursting at the seams, the focus has to be on capacity augmentation. There is also the issue of individual migrant welfare-the government can start with making benefits and entitlements easily portable (as envisaged under Aadhaar), by ensuring a basic social security network for all migrants, and by allowing migrants easy access to affordable housing and homeownership. These measures will also strengthen the forces of urbanization that are already under way and boost economic growth. Several studies have shown how urban economies are more productive than rural economies. Yet, in India, policymakers are still focused on reducing migration to the cities, as Pronab Sen noted in Mint earlier this month-and this is just one example of the many policy barriers to migration.

British producer Ali Wilson has teamed up on a project with Chris North to revive one of Spinnin' Records's longtime sub labels in 2015. Though Reset Records has been around since the early 2000's, the trance-focused Dutch label hasn't released anything under its name sin about a year,with sporadic activity over the past two years. And they've made sure their entry into 2015 is impactful - Wilson, who is known for a melodic sound, has really brought it on "A Special Kind of Space." Out March 30th, we've gotten a preview of the track that seamlessly straddles multiple sound. Addressing the melodic trance 2.0 fan as well as the higher BPM tech trance fan, this one's an interesting release for the label. Check it out below.

Dictator Nicolás Maduro claimed Thursday that musicians performing at "Venezuela Aid Live," a concert on the Colombian border with the country to raise funds for humanitarian aid, were "international criminals."
He did not specify whether he would attempt to prosecute them.
The "Venezuela Aid Live" concert, sponsored by British billionaire Richard Branson, will feature a known 32 artists and has established as its goal the generation of $100 million in charity donations in the next 60 days to be used to purchase food and medicine for Venezuelans. After two decades of socialist government, 90 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty, most do not have access to three meals' worth of food a day, and lost an average of 24 pounds in weight in 2017. The nation's Pharmaceutical Federation has warned for years of a near-complete lack of every basic medication necessary to run a functional healthcare system.
Maduro denies the existence of a humanitarian crisis and has ordered the military – which he still controls despite not legally being president of Venezuela – to block the entry of humanitarian aid into the country. The United States sent a $20 million aid package to Colombia this month in response to a request from interim President Juan Guaidó, which remains on the border as Maduro's soldiers placed large trunk tankers across the bridge connecting the two countries to prevent its entry.
Branson's concert will take place in front of the tankers on the Tienditas bridge.
In an extended rant on Thursday, Maduro claimed that the American aid was "rotten" and dangerous to eat and that the concert itself was an "international crime."
"What humanitarian aid?" he asked. "Four containers of rotten food that the U.S. military didn't eat. Carcinogenic food that has already hurt, intoxicated people, and they tell me people have already died in Cúcuta."
Cúcuta is the Colombian city on the border with Venezuela. Maduro did not provide any evidence that anyone had died consuming American food there; on the contrary, Venezuelans blocked from entering Colombia to access the food have reported the deaths of individuals seeking vital medications only available on the other side of the border, but blocked by Maduro's troops from accessing it.
Prior to Maduro's claim, his vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, also alleged that the United States was sending "poisoned food" to Venezuelans with the intent of harming the population, according to unspecified alleged "scientific studies."
Maduro went on to call the concert a "military assault on Venezuela" and condemn the artists involved. "All those artists that are going to sing in Colombia should know that they are committing an international crime because they are aiding a military invasion of Venezuela."
"Why don't they put together a concert for Colombia?" Maduro asked. "Let them sing to make money to construct housing for the people of Colombia."

Maduro is no longer the head of state of Venezuela and is no longer recognized as such by most of Europe. He, therefore, does not have the authority to access institutions like the International Criminal Court representing Venezuela against those artists, the court that tries international war crimes and crimes against humanity. While Venezuela is a member of Interpol, Maduro does not have the authority to represent Venezuela at that organization, suggesting Interpol would not accept Red Alert demands against the artists from the socialist regime.
The Venezuela Aid Live concert is at press time underway on the Tienditas bridge, featuring several speeches demanding the entry of humanitarian aid, giving thanks to Colombia and the United States for their support, and condemning Maduro. Branson himself spoke, asking the audience, "why can we send someone to space, but not end poverty here?"
Among those on the official list of performers are several internationally popular musical acts of the past three decades, including the Mexican band Maná, Colombian reggaeton artist Maluma, and Venezuelan singer-songwriter Ricardo Montaner. British rocker Peter Gabriel is so far the only English-language act on the list.
Those in charge of the event told international media they expect 250,000 people to attend the event, about half of what they estimate the bridge can sustain.
Getting excited for #VenezuelaAidLive tomorrow! https://t.co/oS28QiwIDm pic.twitter.com/IZobIJwMXw
— Richard Branson (@richardbranson) February 21, 2019
The socialist "Hands Off Venezuela" event, which Maduro organized to take place on the other side of the same bridge, has yet to begin or reveal any artists scheduled to perform.
