Rockwave Festival turns 20 years old and celebrates it with one of the best line up ever. In order to celebrate its birthday, the best music festival of the country welcomes The Prodigy, Judas Priest and more artists on Saturday 4th of July at TerraVibe. The Prodigy at Terra Stage, while Judas Priest will be performing at Vibe Stage in a memorable show!
Terra Stage
Liam Howleet, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality first met at Braintree of Essex in 1990. After that the history of electro music would change forever. The name of the band became a symbol of this genre in the 90s, while their wild shows are engraved in any fan's memory who experienced them. The Prodigy are going to be our host on Saturday 4th July at Terra Vibe as a part of this year's 20th anniversary of Rockwave Festival!
Bringing along their just released album titled 'The Day is My Enemy' and three mindboggling singles (Nasty, The Day is My Enemy, Wild Frontier) which are swiping the playlists worldwide and are steadily conquering the top of the Europeans and American charts, the band is going to welcome its die hard Greek fan club at Rockwave!
After a six year sabbatical after the Invader Must Die album which was released in 2009, The Prodigy come back with one of the most anticipated and the most talked about albums of this year! The Day is My Enemy proves once again why the band is considered to be amongst the most influential of its genre and the leading band of electronic music.
Distorted melodies, tripped riffs and a spectacular feel are the key elements at their live shows, casting a spell over the fans who rave over 'Firestarter', 'Voodoo People', 'Breathe', 'Take me to the Hospital' & 'Smack my Bitch Up' among many others.
From rave to punk and back and from electronica to hardcore, on 4th July The Prodigy are going to fill TerraVibe with their unique style of music!
Vibe Stage
Judas Priest! Heavy Metal! These two are practically the same after the band's 40 year career and the metal scene's hard core fans worldwide. The backbones of metal, Judas Priest are going to perform on Saturday 4th July at Terra Vibe as a part of this year's 20th anniversary of Rockwave Festival!
It was 1969 somewhere in Birmingham that Judas Priest where formed thus altering heavy metal history forever. Few years and a few lineup changes later with Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, KK Downing & Ian Hill as the main band members, Judas Priest release their first official albums "Rocka Rolla" & "Sad Wings of Destiny" in 1974 and 1976.
These where shortly followed by "Sin after Sin", "Stained Glass" and "Killing Machine" within the 70s up until the heavy metal explosion in the 80s when the band released a series of masterpieces such as Βritish Steele, Screaming for Vengeance & Defenders of the Faith, while "Breaking the Law", Living After Midnight", "You've got another thing coming" "The Sentinel" "Electric Eye" became the anthems for metal heads around the globe.
Headlining the biggest festivals in the word Judas Priest redeemed their fame while becoming one of the best live bands worldwide. In the dawn of 90s when grunge was where the music scene was heading, Judas Priest revived heavy metal by releasing one of the best albums of the genre 'Painkiller', while Scott Travis as drummer became an irreplaceable member of the band.
Undeniably the leaders of heavy metal Judas Priest continue to unleash burning guitar solos, destroying drum-kits and testing the limits of our voices with metal god Rob Halford behind the microphone. Their appeal even today is great as it was proved by their album Nostradamus which was released in 2008 and quickly topped all their previous albums at the top of the charts.
In 2010 Judas Priest won the "Best Metal Performance" Grammy, while they performed for tens of thousands fans in their "Epitaph" tour in 2011 and 2012. Their most recent album "Redeemer of the Souls" was among every spot-on list with the best releases of last year, reaching 6th place on the Billboard top 200 for the first time in the band's history.
On Saturday 4th July, Judas Priest return at TerraVibe to celebrate Rockwave's Festival 20th anniversary and share with their numerous Greek fans a righteous of their name heavy metal show!
27 Years doing the Devil's Work
When wondering which is the greatest Greek metal band, the answer Rotting Christ is given. With a 27 year experience and over 1000 shows there is no doubt about this.
In 1988 Rotting Christ where formed by two brothers Saki and Themi Toli. Before the guys turned 20years old, the band released their first their first album attempt "Passage to Arcturo", to be followed two years later by their first official full length album "Thy Mighty Contract" which rocked the Black Metal scene. Enraged, atmospheric, raw and with songs that still haunt their fans (Sign of Evil Existence & Fgmenth, Thy Gift), this album placed Greece in the global metal map.
"Non Serviam" & "Triarchy of the Lost Lovers" followed which formed their unholy album trilogy and together with their famous "Fuck Christ Tour" brought Rotting Christ at the frontlines of Black Metal. After a few lineup changes in the band, they released "A Dead Poem" & "Sleep of the Angels" following a more dark metal path and becoming commercially successful.
After Genesis the band transformed even further their sound incorporating eastern elements, and the pentatonic of the highlands in Epirus, producing remarkable sound which positively surprised their fans. They began with Theogonia, followed by Aealo until their most recent album Kata ton Daimona Eautou proving why Rotting Christ are considered to be ambassadors of Greek metal worldwide.
Rotting Christ will be at TerraVibe on Saturday 4th July to celebrate Rockwave's 20th anniversary.

If you're getting married in a church, then you may need a religious reading for your ceremony. Here are some of our favourite Bible readings for weddings.
Check out these top bible readings for the perfect church wedding ceremony…
Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of his house,
it would be utterly scorned.
Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me."
Romans 12:9-16
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.
1 John 4:7-12
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Song of Solomon 2:10-13
My beloved speaks and says to me:
"Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away,
for behold, the winter is past;
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree ripens its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away."

Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
Quick Reference
(1711–1765) Russian scientist and scholar
Lomonosov was the son of a fisherman from Deniskova, now Lomonosov, in Russia. He left for Moscow in 1730 to obtain an education and studied science there until 1735. In 1736 he attended the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences before traveling to Marburg where he studied under Christian Wolff. Following his return to St. Petersburg in 1741 he was put under arrest (1743) and in prison began work on his 276 Notes on Corpuscular Philosophy and Physics, in which he outlined his scientific ideas. He became professor of chemistry at St. Petersburg in 1745.
Lomonosov campaigned successfully for a laboratory for teaching and research at St. Petersburg and this was opened in 1749. On the basis of the results of experiments conducted in the laboratory he set up a glass factory to produce, in particular, colored-glass mosaics. As an administrator he helped to found Moscow University (1755) with Leonhard Euler.
As a chemist Lomonosov was opposed to the phlogiston theory and is reported to have anticipated Antoine Lavoisier on the conservation of mass, Benjamin Rumford on the kinetic theory of heat, and Thomas Young on the wave theory of light.
Lomonosov also made equally important contributions to Russian literature. He wrote the grammar that systematized the Russian literary language and was himself a poet. His work, Ancient History of Russia, published posthumously in 1766, was the first work on the history of Russia.

FlexNet Operations-hosted Download Manager introduction 2019 R1 (April 2019 release)
FlexNet Operations-hosted Download Manager introduction 2019 R1 (April 2019 release)
Akamai has formally end of lifed support for their hosted Download Manager (that uses NetSession). In turn, FlexNet Operations has a replacement Download Manager made available in UAT as of 3/28/2019 and Production as of 4/23/2019.
Who is affected by this change?
Anyone using FlexNet Operations to allow their end user customers to download file binaries. You may want to provide guidance to your field, such as Support teams, to let them know about the updated download experience for your end user customers.
Download Experience
- The Download Manager will work similarly to the now decommissioned Akamai DLM. It will enable multiple downloads and can be invoked for single files as well.
- When invoking the new Download Manager, the end user customer will be prompted to download, then run the installer to complete the installation.
- Tips for end user customers:
- The installation process may trigger a security notification prompt, requiring the customer to allow the installation.
- May need to work with their IT to ensure port 45786 is open.
- Can uninstall the existing Akamai Download Manager from their system.
- The default location for downloaded files will be saved to the user's local Downloads directory. (NOTE: End user customers will not be able to specify a different location to save the download. An enhancement is logged with Flexera.)
Example showing how default downloads are saved to personal download folder. In this case the tester's name was JChagnot (the rest of directory path by default and would be the same for all users).
If you have any questions related to the FlexNet Operations Download Manager, we recommend posting a reply to this knowledge base article. This will support our community and efforts to provide timely information in a self-service location.
As a workaround, please instruct end users to uninstall the Flexera Download Manager (from 2019 R1 release) and instead download from the direct single link.
Does it use Flash internally or just an activeX Component?
Hi @zaid_mahvy,
Flexera's Download Manager does not use either ActiveX control or Flash.
How does it work?
DLM checks the Origin HTTP header and validates the security of the download URLs using JWT Authentication. i.e. Flexera's DM doesn't work with any other application other than FNO(LLM\ALM).
The Download Manager pre-allocates a temporary download file in the installed user's Downloads folder. When the file is fully downloaded the temporary file is renamed.
Download manager doesn't seem to work at all. My guess is that a port is blocked or anti-virus is blocking it. I work in a high security environment where I cannot temporarily open ports or block any downloads. I have to download the items one at a time.

Nigel Pritchett, MD Elesa (UK) Ltd, signposts some key developments in materials and design associated with standard machine components for industrial machinery and equipment.
Since the 1950s, Elesa has been actively involved in the cultural revision of machine tool aesthetics, that was taking shape around that time, by innovating the design of accessories and components for the mechanical industry, machinery and industrial equipment; an ongoing commitment to which they have been loyal over the decades, as proven by the 38 industrial design awards from the most prestigious juries, received in the last 30 years.
Elesa products are designed to offer excellent functionality and the best in ergonomics, whilst keeping in mind the creation of unique designs such as their "High Performing Lines" which represent a selection of handwheels, crank handles, knobs, levers, handles, indexing and spring plungers, hinges, levelling feet, castors and wheels and level indicators for applications in specific market sectors such as food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical, clean room, urban and public fittings, ESD-Protected Areas and in environments subject to explosion (ATEX).
They are manufactured in the most advanced engineering plastics such as SUPER-Technopolymers, where the advantages of engineering plastics combine favourably with metal giving high mechanical and thermal performance representing the latest evolution of engineering polymer materials for the industrial sector. The most technologically advanced industries, such as automotive, aviation and electronics, have long understood the benefits of using these new generation engineering plastics. The possibility to replace metal, commonly called "metal replacement", in more numerous applications, is now possible with the use of high performance engineering plastics.
In order to have technopolymer products in applications which have been so far a prerogative of metal products, the design phase needs to be performed with expertise by optimising shapes and thickness, to benefit from all the typical characteristics of polymeric materials. Elesa has developed several components made of SUPER-technopolymer able to guarantee high mechanical performance and corrosion resistance, while being maintenance free, non-magnetic and with good thermal insulation.
Special Conductive Technopolymers prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charge between bodies with different electric potential. Developments with these materials have created a new line of antistatic elements, suitable for applications in ESD-Protected Areas (EPA) and assembly lines for electronic components, where components which are susceptible to electrostatic discharges must be handled with the minimum risk of damage. The ESD-C indelibly printed trademark on the surface of every single element identifies the specific conductive feature according to EN 100015/1 and IEC 61340-5-1.
Self-Extinguishing Technopolymer certified "V0" according to UL-94 V (Underwriters Laboratories) allows the manufacture of products meeting flame-proof requirements for use in public environments such as urban and public fittings and equipment for the lighting sector.
Antimicrobial Technopolymer used in the Elesa SAN LINE prevents the deposit of undesired organisms such as microbes, bacteria, mildew and fungi which are the major causes of unpleasant odours, discoloration, degradation and the formation of biofilm on surfaces. Moreover, the inorganic antimicrobial additive guarantees the absolute unalterability of the antimicrobial feature for a long time, even after several cleaning cycles at high temperatures with soap and solvents.
SOFT LINE, commonly known as "soft-touch", has been developed using elastomer over moulding for use on machinery and equipment requiring frequent tightening, or for applications subject to severe stress. The major characteristics of "SOFT" products are to ensure a safer and more stable ergonomic grip and to improve the comfort of the operator's hand thanks to their soft coating which allows the absorption of vibrations even under unfavourable environmental conditions such as humidity, aridity, heat, cold and grease.
RAL 9002 white colour with a smooth surface to make cleaning operations easier and AISI 303 stainless steel metal inserts in compliance with the most rigorous sanitary laws, characterise the Elesa CLEAN LINE. Compact shape and lack of cavities avoid the deposit of dirt, dust and machining residues.
Other niche high-performing lines include chromed technopolymer for resistance to sea water, detergents, acetone, ethyl alcohol, formic acid, chlorine solutions. Hydraulic accessories for systems complying with Health and Safety Requirements according to 94/9/EC ATEX European Directive (explosive atmospheres) for equipment in Group II, category 2GD.
Ergostyle is a registered trademark that distinguishes a range of elements destined for hospital and medical equipment, scientific instruments, laboratory fittings, office furniture, leisure and sporting equipment, and, generally, whenever aesthetics and user-friendliness are key requirements for the market success of the product. A basic feature of the new elements, besides ergonomic function, is to contribute to achieve a higher quality and value of the equipment for which they have been designed, by fully blending with and enhancing the finished product.
Elesa also offers a wide range of products made out of AISI 303, AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel and products made out of plastic with stainless steel inserts: handwheels, knobs, lever handles, adjustable levers, handles, positioning and control knobs, indexing and spring plungers, levelling feet, hinges, latches, level indicators and castors and wheels which guarantee the best performance in sectors requiring, by law, the use of corrosion-resistant materials.
In addition to the widest range of standard machine elements available on the market, Elesa offers customised technical products in order to meet the customer's specific needs. Production flexibility, technical know-how, R&D constant activity and high levels of customer care allow for quick answers and competitive products. Customisation can include the incorporation of logos and text by moulding, tampoprinting or laser engraving - the production of parts in special colours to RAL colour reference tables - the use of special material additives and surface treatments such as black-oxide coating, zinc-plating, nickel plating, chrome-plating, anodising and epoxy-resin coating - special shapes dimensions and materials for metal inserts and a post-production machining service for bores and keyways in compliance with DIN Standards.
Research & Development is a continual investment at Elesa and in particular in the innovation of its production technologies - always with the aim of creating new products or to further improve performance and reliability of existing ones. An internal testing laboratory with the most advanced equipment and measuring instruments studies the evolution of new technopolymers in order to extend their use in more high performing applications in the field of industrial components. All standard products in the Elesa range are subjected to mechanical, physical, chemical and durability testing in order to provide correct and reliable technical data. This Elesa laboratory is also at the disposal of customers for carrying out tests that simulate specific or particularly heavy conditions of use.
All these high-performing lines and much more including full test and technical data have recently been compiled into a new 1600-page catalogue containing over 40,000 products, available free of charge. Requests can be made directly or online.

PIQUA — Piqua-Lewis Boyer Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held their annual Youth Awards Tea on Saturday, Feb. 9, at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Piqua. The attendees were welcomed by Regent Becky Miller of Troy. Historian Tamy Laughman of Tipp City read a brief history of DAR and the chapter.
American History Chair Dee Smith of Dayton gave out the American History Essay Contest awards. Students in grades fifth through eighth were asked to write an essay titled, "The Women's Suffrage Campaign." The essayists were to imagine they were living in 1919 and discuss the pros and cons of this new amendment Congress had passed. Chapter winners were: fifth grade — Kate Kennedy of Holy Angels School in Sidney; seventh grade — Madison O'Leary of Holy Angels School in Sidney; and eighth grade — Jude Schmiesing of Holy Angels School in Sidney. All participants were given certificates; the chapter winners were awarded a bronze medal. O'Leary was announced as the state winner for her grade level. She will be honored at a luncheon at Ohio DAR's state conference in March.
Smith also presented the award for the Christopher Columbus Essay Contest to Diana Meador of Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City. This essay contest is held in conjunction with the National Italian American Foundation. Students in grades ninth through 12th grade were asked to write an essay titled, "Comparing Ship Technology: The Ships Columbus Used Versus Ships of Today." The essayists were to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the late 15th-century ships compared to the modern ships of today and how they would have been prepared for his voyage.
Regent Miller gave out the DAR Good Citizen awards in the absence of Chair Jan Wise of Troy. Each high school in Miami and Shelby counties were asked to select a senior who best demonstrates the traits of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. They may elect to enter the scholarship contest, which includes writing a timed essay titled, "Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It."

While Britain has enjoyed a sustained period of economic growth in recent times, there are concerns that the current generation of mortgage holders could face difficulties in the next few years. More specifically, nearly one million home-owners have no discernible way of paying off their mortgages, primarily because they have opted for interest-only loans and finance packages. This is according to the Citizens Advice Bureau, whose estimate is far higher than that of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
How to Secure a Viable Mortgage in 2015
With this in mind, it is crucial that you take practical steps towards identifying a viable and easily repayable mortgage. Consider the following ideas:
1. Assess
When looking for a mortgage, whether that is for your home or business, your first step is to assess how attractive you are going to be to mortgage lenders and try to improve this. You can do this by taking an honest look at your finances and credit report and weighing your pros against your cons. For instance, you may have been in your current job for a number of years but there may be one or two blips on your record. You should then try to minimise the negative impact of the negatives by, for instance, clarifying and having removed, if possible, any issues that may appear on your report and ensuring that your current address is shown.
Similarly in relation to a business mortgage you will want to keep your accounts up to date and in order. At this stage you should now be in a position to know whether you will need a bad credit mortgage, a first time buyer mortgage or perhaps that you are in an excellent position and are able to narrow your search to the best rates that are available on those kinds of mortgages.
2. Look Beyond Price Comparison Sites
Although price comparison sites offer an excellent way of obtaining a broad overview of the mortgage market, it is important that you delve deeper into these figures. There may be much more to what appears to be the best offer than at first appears as there could be many costs which are at first not visible. As Which points out, these may include additional interest or early repayment charges which could soon bump up the amount that you are repaying.
3. Get Advice
Given that a mortgage is a huge commitment in terms of both money and time it is advisable to get some good advice. The difficulty with this is that good advice is not only hard to come by but also may be hard to recognise. After all, once you have expressed an interest in getting a mortgage, it is likely that everywhere you go, from your bank to the high street; there will be somebody willing to provide you with advice. By identifying viable, independent and accredited service providers such as Openwork and the Citizens Advice Bureau, you can accumulate a broad bank of data and utilise this accordingly.

Both were quite similar, Chief is/was around 0,5-0,45 mm (0.02 inch) and the P4 is almost the same.
+1, if it is linerless FRN (not G10)
Pancake, how do you feel about the choil on the Chief? I mean by that: How often do you actually use it, and if not often, does it place your hand to far from the edge in a regular grip on the handle?
The Police looks a lot thinner than the Chief though.
That is an amazing comparison
Well, I am not really thinking about which grip I am going to use it, but for your general cutting I am holding it just by the handle (when I am doing food prep, cutting normal stuff) - this is maybe like 85 % of time when I am using the Chief. Edge starts about an 2,5 cm (1 inch) from where your index finger sits.
Yeah, P4 wins in ease of opening over the Chief. Its not only the Spydie hole is bigger, but your thumb also comes from a bit different angle.Vivi wrote: I really like the ergonomics of the Chief, but after opening and closing it a few times I realized I preferred the Police for the more exposed opening hole. Same story with the Calypso. I love the ergonomics, but I'm used to the Police and Pacific Salt with their large, well exposed holes.
I plan to pick one up, but only after I get a P4 LW.

For families feeling the squeeze of the recession, holidays are often the first to be slashed from the annual budget. However, there is a low-cost alternative that means families don't have to sit at home over the summer months: the 'staycation'. Forget hiring vehicles or shelling out for taxis – the family motor and tent will do just fine. Here are four passport-free UK destinations that won't break the bank:
Visit on a summer day and Cornwall can do a pretty good impression of a Balearic island – white sand, quaint villages and (if you're touring the world famous Eden Project) sub-tropical flora and fauna. The Guardian put Cornwall at the top of its list of staycation destinations, and with good reason. Comb the wild beaches of the Lizard Peninsula, combine coast and culture with a trip to Porthcurno's Minack Theatre, or explore the seat of English history at 'King Arthur's' castle at Tintagel.
The Lake District
With some of England's most picturesque scenery, the Lake District's impressive peaks and gentle valleys have entranced Britain's best-loved artists for over 100 years. Bookworm? Retrace William Wordsworth's steps through the daffodils of Ullswater. Thrill-seeker? Climb the mighty Scafell Pike before stopping for a pint of award winning local brew, Coniston's No. 9 Barley Wine.
A stalwart of seaside family holidays, Brighton is a bustling coastal city that's much more than just the funfair. If it's retail therapy you're after, lose yourself in the The Laines and their hubbub of independent boutiques and cafes. Budding artists, meanwhile, should wander Brighton's thriving gallery circuit, or take in a film at the Duke of York's Picturehouse, Britain's oldest Grade II listed cinema.
Isle of Skye
The so-called 'jewel of Scotland' lies northwest of the Scottish mainland, and is known for its raw, craggy landscapes, wildlife and history. Walk the legendary path past the MacLeod's Maidens rock formations, go seal-watching off the northern coast, or tour the ramparts of Dunvegan Castle, home to 800 years of clan history. Foodies: wet your whistle at the Talisker whisky distillery, or sample the local cuisine at Skye's famous Kinloch Lodge restaurant.
If you're planning on embarking on a UK-based driving holiday this year, remember to check that your Swiftcover Car Insurance policy keeps you covered – breakdown recovery can be particularly useful if you're going to be clocking up lots of miles.

Yikes okay so this forum is probably dead!
If anyone is really great at writing poetry, or knows their stuff about Shakespeare, I would love some help! I have a Sonnet due in my freshmen language arts class on Tuesday at 8am (Chicago time). Help would be greatly appreciated! Especially since this is my final grade. I need to include inversions and Shakespearean language. I must turn the song "Ultimately" by Khai Dreams into a sonnet.
I'm willing to trade or pay if you'd like! Just name your price. Thank you! Have a great day!

A picture is worth a thousand words, but when we satisfy and delight our patients with beautiful smiles, it is worth even more! Changing lives with beautiful, reliable dentistry gives us the greatest satisfaction imaginable and is one of our favorite parts of what we do. Take a moment to browse our before and after photos and imagine the possibilities when it comes to your own smile!
This patient came in with a large 4 unit gold bridge connected to her wisdom tooth. She lost the teeth many years ago so the bone narrowed to the point where implants wouldn't fit. We had to augment the bone to create some width so we could get implants to fit. The implants were restored with custom abutments and zirconia crowns.
This patient came in wanting veneers. He was tired of the discolored appearance of his front teeth. Both of the teeth have had root canal treatment and are discolored. The patient was given a treatment plan for veneers at another office. He was fortunate to have found our office because veneers would have been a bad choice for him. The only tooth structure he had remaining was on the front of his teeth, all of which would have been removed while prepping the teeth for veneers. What we ended up doing here is 3 rounds of internal whitening of the ...
This patient was unhappy with the "fake" appearance of his front teeth. He wanted more natural looking crowns. Here we replaced his old metal ceramic restorations with all porcelain.
Ryan swore he would never see another dentist after having bad experience after bad experience. Luckily we were able to turn around his view on dentistry. His poorly restored front tooth was his primary complaint. After we addressed that he was nothing but smiles!!!!
This is Laura. She had her lower teeth reconstructed over 20 years ago with implants and a fixed denture. She had been unhappy with the appearance for quite some time and was ready for a new set.
This patient has been with the practice for 3 years now. She has been unhappy with her upper front teeth ever since. She recently had a baby and has been waiting to get the treatment done so she would love what she saw in the mirror. After in-office whitening and then whitening some more at home we got her to a shade she was happy with. We did composite veneers on the middle two teeth and lengthened the lateral incisors with some composite. She was ecstatic with the results!!!!
This patient was unhappy with the appearance of her front teeth. After removing and replacing the old bonding and some esthetic recontouring of the teeth the results gave this patient her confidence back.
This is Tina. Tina has been missing teeth on her left side for quite some time. We placed two implants on the upper left which were then restored with zirconia abutments and a zirconia bridge. She was very happy with the results and is excited to get her other two implants placed on the right side.
This patient had a large overbite that never really seemed to bother him but his wife really wanted him to straighten his teeth. He is extremely happy with the outcome. Some of the added benefits of Invisalign treatment are improved hygiene and eliminating food traps from between teeth. When teeth are lined up properly they are much easier to keep clean.
In this case a combination of veneers and bleaching were used to correct tetracycline staining and tooth wear and misalignment. The outcome was a beautiful and natural smile.
In this case we closed some black triangles (spacing between teeth due to recession) and addressed some slight discoloration with 6 upper anterior veneers and tooth bleaching.
This patient has been with the practice for 20+ years. She's always had the most radiant smile. Even though her smile was beautiful, as her 50th birthday was approaching she wanted to have that perfect smile. We started with re-positioning the misaligned teeth by doing Invisalign. We then whitened her teeth and finished off by restoring the worn edges with some esthetic bonding. She was extremely happy with the results.
This case is an example of how veneers can correct a mild misalignment of teeth and a discrepancy in their shape and size. We achieved a beautiful and natural looking final outcome that the patient was thrilled with.
This patient had some wear on the upper anterior teeth due to bruxism (grinding) and was not happy with the overall appearance of the smile. Veneers on the anterior 6 upper teeth along with teeth whitening significantly changed the appearance of the smile and gave this person the confidence to smile big where ever they went.
In this case large composite restorations were used previously to close anterior spaces. The results were less than ideal. A combination of veneers and tooth bleaching were used here to give this patient the perfect smile.
Heather presented to the practice with two broken teeth. They were actively infected and had been bothering her for quite some time. We removed the teeth and grafted the sockets with bone graft material. After healing for 4 months two implants were placed. The implants were allowed to integrate (heal) for 3 months before the abutment (connection to the implant) and crowns were delivered.

The province of New Brunswick has secured 13 million grams of cannabis for the launch of recreational legalization next summer.
Officials say this makes New Brunswick the first province to lock down its supply of cannabis ahead of the federal government's July 1, 2018 deadline.
The province announced a memorandum of understanding with British Columbia-based grower Zenabis to provide four million grams of cannabis and derivative products with a retail value of roughly $40 million.
Previously signed agreements between the province and Organigram and Canopy Growth Corp. are worth about $40 million annually and amounted to nine million grams of cannabis.
"New Brunswick becomes (the) first province in Canada to fully secure supply of cannabis and cannabis products for all its consumers," read a joint press release from Zenabis and the province.
It's anticipated that this latest deal will create roughly 450 jobs in the next two years in the New Brunswick village of Atholville.
In August of 2016, the province announced it would provide a $4 million loan to Zenabis to build its New Brunswick facility, which will host the production and distribution of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis. The local First Nation invested $3 million in the 393,000 square foot facility.
"This opportunity will not only provide a financial return, but more importantly — a partnership built from meaningful conversations, a vision for the future within the sector, and a lasting, mutual, beneficial, business relationship," said Chief Darcy Gray of the Listuguj Mi'gmaq Government in a statement.
Zenabis has another production license in Delta, B.C., and is in the midst of securing a license for a 280,000 square foot facility in Stellarton, N.S., which the company says will make it the "only coast to coast licensed producer in the country."
The New Brunswick government announced earlier this fall that the province's liquor corporation, NB Liquor, will handle recreational cannabis sales through a subsidiary once nationwide legalization rolls out next summer.
Through said subsidiary, NB Liquor will sell cannabis in up to 20 stand-alone stores in 15 New Brunswick communities.

This paper examines the relationship between ethics and politics in organizations with a specific focus on ethical subjectivity-that is, how people at work constitute themselves as subjects in relation to both their conduct and their sense of ethical responsibility to others. To investigate this we consider those ethics that were politically mobilized when five clinical partners tendered to buy out the medical practice in which they worked. We provide a detailed reading of a letter of complaint written by one of the partners and sent to their employer-a letter we consider to be a deliberate, political, ethically motivated and overt act of resistance. Drawing on the ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas we argue that the practice of ethics is characterized by a tension where ethical commitments and realpolitik come crashing together. The implication we draw from this is that in organizations the ethical subject is always a political subject; the one who takes action in response to the call of the ethical demand. It is answering the call to political action by the ethical subject-a subject prepared to act in response to the experience of injustice while not resting easy on their own ethical righteousness-that provides an affirmative possibility for researching and theorizing ethics within a critical framework. © The Author(s) 2010.

H E R M A N E. S H E E T S 1908 â 2006 Elected in 1967 âFor ship and submarine design.â BY STEVE LEVINSON SUBMITTED BY THE NAE HOME SECRETARY H ERMAN ERNST SHEETS, emeritus professor and chairman of the Department of Ocean Engineering, University of Rhode Island, died April 22, 2006, surrounded by his family at his home in Groton, Connecticut. He was 97 years old. Sheets had long, distinguished careers as an inventor, engineer, manager, university professor, department chair, and consultant to industry and government. Born in Dresden, in the Kingdom of Saxony, on December 24, 1908, Sheets (birth name Chitz) was educated in Germany and Czechoslovakia; he earned his Diplom-Ingenieur in mechanical engineering from Technical University in Dresden, highest in his class of 1934. He then graduated in 1936 from Charles University-Technical University, in Prague, with a Doctor of Technical Sciences degree in applied mechanics and the award for excellence. He began his career designing fans, pumps, and steam turbines for Erste Bruenner Maschinen Fabrik in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Although he was baptized a German Lutheran, Sheetsâ Jewish descent forced his departure from Czechoslovakia in 1939 just ahead of the German army. He emigrated to the United States, sponsored by maternal relatives in this country. He then obtained and sent visas to his parents in 1940, but it was too late for them to escape. Years later he learned that they had been deported from Dresden to Riga where they perished. 265 Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 265 3/23/10 3:42:36 PM
266 MEMORIAL TRIBUTES Offered a position at MIT, the entrepreneurial Sheets decided instead to join a small Midwestern engineering ï¬rm, Chamberlin Research Corporation. In 1942, when the company began manufacturing washing machines for the U.S. Army, Sheets, by then a U.S. citizen, joined the St. Paul Engineering Company where he developed hydraulic machinery and valves, including valves for the Manhattan Project. In 1944, the Manhattan Project transferred him to the Elliott Company in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, where he worked on the development of pumps (for the ï¬uids for which he had designed and built valves at St. Paul Engineering) and compressors (including the first supersonic compressor). The Manhattan District Project awarded him a citation in 1945 for his work on gaseous diffusion. Sheets left Elliott in 1946 for Goodyear Aircraft Company, where he engineered rockets, until Booz-Allen recruited him for General Dynamics in 1952 as chief scientist-engineer for the new nuclear submarine program at its subsidiary, Electric Boat (EB) Company. There he created and led a state-of-the-art laboratory for which he recruited a staff of scientists and engineers, including Dr. Yost Van Woerkom, Dr. Lester Chen, Dr. Bjorn Lund, Allan Anderson, Kurt Lawrence, and Agnes Summers, the ï¬rst woman engineer at EB. He continued to tap the talents and resources of men with whom he had worked at St. Paul Engineering (Ralph Jones and Evan Johnson), Elliott (Dr. Andrew Vazsonji and Dr. Judson Swearingen), and James G. Wenzel, Lockheed Marine Systems Group. Under Sheetsâ direction, EB launched the Nautilus in 1954 and the Sea Wolf in 1955. In 1959, the Nautilus made a historic undersea voyage from the Paciï¬c to the Atlantic via the North Pole. In 1960, the Triton circumnavigated the globe submerged for 84 days. In 1962, EB completed the ï¬rst Polaris submarineâ the George Washingtonâwith a missile-ï¬ring range of 1,200 miles and a capacity of 16 nuclear-tipped missiles. In 1969, EB launched the Narwhal, a submarine that used a natural convection reactor, which eliminated noisy pumps and made it the quietest and stealthiest vessel in the ï¬eet. Dr. Edward H. Heinemann, an aeronautical engineer and vice president of engineering at General Dynamics Corporation, Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 266 3/23/10 3:42:36 PM
HERMAN E. SHEETS 267 a leading inï¬uence on Sheets and a prominent supporter, nominated him to the National Academy of Engineering in 1967. At Erste Bruenner in Brno, Czechoslovakia, Sheets had invented and patented the slotted-blade fan, and the Czech company had generously given Sheets the world rights to the patent. Because of its quiet operation, the fan (also known as the vane-axial fan) eventually found its way into U.S. Navy submarines. Sheets continued to improve upon the original design at EB and in retirement; he obtained new patents as late as 1988 and 1991. Probably one of the least known weapons of the cold war, fans are crucial for air circulation in the conï¬ned space of an underwater craft. The new cylindrical device was much quieter than the earlier fan, and on U.S. submarines, where stealth was considered more important than speed or the ability to dive deep, quietness was next to godliness. Another variant of Sheetsâ invention was a fan that operated at 24,000 revolutions per minute in the very tight conï¬nes of a jet ï¬ghter. However, in actual operation, the fan encountered some serious problems. First, it generated a lot of noise, although this was tolerable in a jet ï¬ghter. However, it also had a short operating life, and when it failed, it failed abruptly putting the aircraft and pilot at extreme risk. The pilot had to be alerted that the bearings were about to fail far enough in advance to land the plane safely and have a new fan installed. Sheets discovered that about two hours before the bearings failed, an electric current imposed across the lubricant ï¬lm underwent a change that could be measured. Thus, by maintaining an electric current, the pilot had a two- hour warning that the fan would fail, enough time to reduce the fan requirements and/or land the plane. With the specific goal of keeping EB profitable and its engineers and skilled workers employed and loyal between submarine contracts, Sheets set to work developing and selling EB specialties, including vane-axial fans for electronic package cooling and for use in marine and commercial heating and ventilating systems and electronic spot-cooling fans; ball valves and actuators (low- and high-pressure ball valves and a three- position hydraulic-valve actuator); vibration-measuring Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 267 3/23/10 3:42:36 PM
268 MEMORIAL TRIBUTES equipment (a vibra-force analyzer, an automatic 1/3-octave band analyzer, and a dynamic vibration absorber); and industrial control systems for hot- and cold-strip steel mills. Also under Sheetsâ direction, EB produced systems designed to control the tilt of radio telescopes and systems to regulate the air velocity in supersonic wind tunnels, as well as controllable-pitch propellers for tugs and ï¬shing boats and a hovercraft. In addition, Sheets came across a patentable welding process invented by two EB welders; he obtained a patent for them and arranged for the royalties to be paid to them. Other notable projects were the all-aluminum Aluminaut, ï¬nanced by the Reynolds Company, and a series of small one- and two-man submersibles for commercial exploration and research (the Asherah and Star 1,2, and 3), funded by General Dynamics. The latter led to the Navy-ï¬nanced NR-1 nuclear- powered research submarine. Sheetsâ lab was directly involved in two projects, AUTEC (Atlantic undersea test and evaluation center) and the NR-1. AUTEC was a pair of deep-diving, two- man, battery-powered submersibles that were larger and more sophisticated versions of the Star vessels. NR-1 was ostensibly an oceanographic research vessel, but it could also be used for other purposes. However, Sheetsâ main interests were in furthering oceanographic research and diversifying EBâs products and interests. Immediately after his retirement from EB, Sheets joined the Board of Technical Audit Associates, founded by Frank Jewett, Jr., and also began consulting for General Electric Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lynn, Massachusetts, on the testing, development, and installation of gas turbines in ships LM2500, LM1500 and LM5000. He was also offered full professorships by MIT, the University of Texas, and the University of Rhode Island (URI), which was closer to home. He attributed these offers to his membership in NAE. With three children still in local schools, Sheets decided to accept the offer from URI. Just a few months later, in 1970, his wife Norma died. Sheets was department chairman at URI until his mandatory retirement at 70 in 1979. Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 268 3/23/10 3:42:36 PM
HERMAN E. SHEETS 269 Sheetsâ ï¬rst major project at URI was the construction of a building to house the recently created Department of Ocean Engineering; the building, on the Naragansett Bay Campus, included a tow tank. He was particularly proud of having completed the task without asking for money from the university or the Rhode Island legislature. Years later, under the leadership of then chairman Dr. Malcolm Spaulding, the university refurbished the building and named it after Sheets. Spaulding credits Sheetsâ managerial skills for the success of the countryâs ï¬rst ocean engineering department. After his second retirement in 1979, Sheets became principal scientist for Analysis and Technology, Inc., in Stonington, Connecticut. The next year he met Paulann H. Caplovitz, an assistant attorney general of New York, who had retained him as a consultant to evaluate the apparently negligent disabling of the Indian Point 2 nuclear power plant on the Hudson River. Sheets married her two years later and brought her and her two young children, Abigail and Gideon, from New York to Groton. By then, Sheetsâ six children were grown, educated, and launched. Sheets concentrated all his energy and devotion on work and his family. He conï¬ded to his second wife that his greatest satisfaction was when his children, grandchildren, and stepchildren returned home for visits. After leaving Analysis and Technology in 1984, Sheets worked for a number of specialized marine-related or fan companies in the area, including Ship Analytics, Sonalysts, Epoch Engineering, General Systems Solutions, Inc., and EGG- Rotron Corporation. He retired a third time in 1994 at the age of 84 to focus on projects that occupied him until shortly before his death in 2006. These projects included the application of cold war/space age technologies to commercial products, such as ultrasonic washers and microwave dryers; an âunderwater (cylindrical) sailâ (based on Flettnerâs concept) for yachts and submarines; and residential wind turbines. He read his last professional paper in 2003 to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, when he also ï¬led his provisional and last patent application for his underwater sail. Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 269 3/23/10 3:42:36 PM
270 MEMORIAL TRIBUTES Sheets was a tireless contributor to professional societiesâ the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Association of the Advancement of Science, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, American Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Marine Technology Society, and Pi Tau Sigma. He also served on committees and boards for the Department of the Navy, NAVSHIPS Shipbuilding Industry Advisory Committee, 1963â1968; the Secretary of the Navyâs Oceanographic Committee, 1968â1977; the NAE Committee on Ocean Engineering, 1966â1968 and Marine Board 1968â1976; the National Research Council Maritime Research Board, Ship Design, Response, and Load Criteria Advisory Group, 1976â 1979; and National Research Council Maritime Transportation Research Board, Ship Research Committee, 1979â1982; the Congress of the United States Ofï¬ce of Technology Assessment, Consultant on Renewable Ocean Energy Sources, 1977â1978 and on Ocean Thermal Energy, 1980; and U.S. Department of Energy, Ocean Systems Branch, 1979â1982. In addition to his 26 patents, Sheets authored or co-authored 45 professional papers and seven books. Sheets combined Old World manners and American informality in a charming way. A reserved but kind man with a droll sense of humor, he could be coaxed into telling stories from his working life that had the shape of little dramas accented with touches of the ridiculous. He began each day be reading the comics, especially his favorite, âSnoopy.â Winner of the all-Saxony decathlon competition in 1929, Sheets remained physically active all his life; despite two hip replacements, he swam weekly until a month before he died. Sheets is survived by his wife, Paulann H. Sheets, Esq., six children, Lawrence E. Sheets, St. Paul, Minnesota; Michael R. Sheets, Poughkeepsie, New York; Arne H. Sheets, Novato, California; Diana E. Sheets, Ph.D., Champaign, Illinois; Elizabeth J. Sheets, Los Angeles, California; Karn Sheets Ryken, Chelmsford, Massachusetts; and two stepchildren, Abigail P. Caplovitz, Esq., Shelter Island, New York; and Gideon P. Caplovitz, Enfield, New Hampshire; and seven grandchildren. Final Tribute Vol 13.indd 270 3/23/10 3:42:37 PM

A New Hair Growth Therapy – PRP
"Doctor, you don't know what it is to doubt everything … you couldn't with eyebrows like yours." – Bram Stoker, Dracula
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) a.k.a. the vampire treatment is a hair growth therapy that is becoming increasingly popular. This hair growth therapy consists of two main steps; retrieval of plasma (main component of blood) and activation of platelets. During this therapy, platelets are obtained from drawn blood. Platelets are the key ingredient in this therapy as they contain growth factors that promote hair growth1,2. The platelets are then activated using manual techniques or automated devices and then injected into your desired hair growth areas3.
PRP treatments have been successfully used to treat male and female pattern hair loss as evident in a 2014 study4. In this study 13 male and female pattern hair loss patients treated with PRP reported a higher hair count and greater hair thicknesses as compared to their baseline values (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). These improvements were found 3 months post treatment (1 session)4. Pain, post-treatment erythema and edema were some of the side effects reported in this study4.
PRP has also been used successfully in hair transplant surgeries5. Follicular units, when treated with PRP before being implanted, showed a 15.1% increase in follicular density as compared to untreated implanted follicular units in 20 male pattern baldness pateints5. An increased follicular density can help improve coverage and increase patient satisfaction.
The popularity associated with the vampire treatment can be attributed to the minimal side effects and low cost. PRP is not just a safe hair restoration option; research into its potential use in scarring, ulcers and wound healing have also occurred5. If you are interested in learning more about the vampire treatment, ask your hair loss specialist for more information.
