Georgia May Foote is upset but "very excited" about her future after Coronation Street.
The soap star - who plays Katy Armstrong - looked stunning after chatting about her exit from the cobbles as she celebrated her 24th birthday.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning, she told Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley: "I'm very excited.
"I'm a bit sad - obviously I'm going to miss loads of people, the crew, the production team, my cast mates and all that, but I'm ready.
"It's been nearly five years now so it's a long stint to do there and I'm excited."
Corrie beauty Georgie appeared on the show alongside her on-screen mum Jacqueline Leonard - who plays Linda - and chatted about they current storyline.
She said: "Katy does have a chat with Linda [on-screen mum, Jacqueline Leonard] and Izzy then finds out the truth and it literally flips...."
Phillip said, "And it means the end for you doesn't it?"
Georgia replied, "It does, yeah. Katy goes off to Portugal…she waves goodbye."
Meanwhile, Georgie was surprised with a cake and flowers for her birthday at the end of the interview.
She gushed: "It's got my name on it and everything! Thank you, that's made my day. I'm so lucky!"

Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Penn State University Park analytical chemistry as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

It depends on the dosage you were prescribed and if it is for ED, BPH or ED and BPH. If you received 10 mg or 20 mg tablets then you are suppose to take them when needed. If the tablets are 2.5 mg or 5 mg then they are supposed to be taken daily. If you were taking 10 mg and you were reduced to 5 mg then you can take them when needed.

Everybody's favorite creationist neurosurgeon is back. Today, Michael Egnor brought forth yet another remarkably inept attempt to find a way to justify egnoring the relationship between natural selection and antibiotic resistance. This time, he's apparently decided that there's no hope in finding a substantive argument, so he's resorting to nothing more than a childish rhetorical game. One of the authors of a recently published scientific paper that examined antibiotic resistance left a comment at The Panda's Thumb noting that his research did in fact rely on Darwinian evolution. In a spectacular display of combined arrogance and ignorance (aka Egnorance), Egnor decided to inform the authors that they are mistaken if they think that natural selection was actually involved in any way:
Dr. Dardel is both candid and mistaken. His comment that the use of Darwin's theory is "unusual in structural biology" is obviously true, and refreshingly candid. He is, however, mistaken about the application of Darwin's theory to his recent work. His assertion that "…we selected bacteria…by plating…" is artificial selection, not natural selection. Artificial selection is breeding, in this case microbial breeding. The principles of breeding date back thousands of years, and owe nothing to Darwin. In fact, Darwin claimed that non-teleological processes in nature could produce changes in populations just as teleological processes like breeding could. Even Darwin didn't claim that his theory explained the outcome of intentional breeding. It's astonishing that a modern professional scientist like Dr. Dardel doesn't recognize the difference between artificial selection and natural selection.
In Egnor's world, it is impossible to study natural selection in the lab, because once you enter the lab, you've moved from natural selection to artificial selection. That's the level of argument that he's been reduced to – word games.
Dr. Dardel's team obtained the resistant strains that they investigated through a very simple process. They took the bacteria, placed them in an environment that contained the antibiotic, and let the bacteria reproduce. The bacteria that survived to reproduce were (not surprisingly) the bacteria that were most resistant to the antibiotic.
The differences between what the scientists did in a lab and what happens in nature are small, and not incredibly significant. The scientists worked in a lab. They artificially replicated a set of conditions (an antibiotic-rich environment) that occur in nature. Finally, they placed the bacteria into this environment – something that happens spontaneously outside the lab. Strangely, I find that I'm not as impressed as Egnor is by these differences.
Still, let's be nice and (purely for the sake of argument) grant Egnor his rhetorical fun. We'll pretend that anything that happens in a lab must be artificial selection, and that it is totally and completely wrong to use the phrase "natural selection" when referring to these experiments. Even if we make those assumptions, Darwin's work remains relevant to the experiments.
Darwin was the first to demonstrate that selective pressures caused by the natural environment have the same effects on a population as selective pressures created by humans. That discovery justifies the use of laboratory experiments (like the one Dr. Dardel's team reported) to investigate phenomena (like antibiotic resistance) that occur spontaneously in nature.

A: There are two primary types of "real" Hyper-V Replica failover (test failover is for testing purposes only). The two types are planned and unplanned. The difference is as follows:
Planned failover.
Used as part of a "planned" failover and is initiated from the primary Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) via the Planned Failover option on the replication menu.
This process shuts down the primary VM, replicates any pending changes to ensure no data loss, fails over to the replica VM, reverses the replication so changes come in from the reverse direction, then starts the replica VM, which now becomes the primary (while the old primary becomes the replica).
Unplanned failover.
Used as part of a failover that isn't planned and assumes the primary Hyper-V VM isn't available because a disaster has struck (if the primary is available, always use the Planned failover, which is preferred). The failover has to be performed on the replica VM using the Failover option on the replication menu.
When this is performed, a replication of pending changes isn't possible and reverse replication has to be manually enabled, with a resynchronization required, because there's no way to know where the primary and the replica stopped replication.
When starting reverse replication, choose the Do not copy the initial replication option on the Initial Replication page. The VM on the original primary VM can be used, and a block-by-block comparison will be performed to synchronize between the replica VM and the original primary VM. Only the delta content needs to be sent over the network.

Why national telecoms law is no longer relevant and no longer worksIs there a single reason why we need national telecoms law in the digital age in the European Union?

Is there a single reason why we need national telecoms law in the digital age in the European Union? I am struggling to think of one. I'm not saying a universal telecoms utopia is about to descend on us. I am simply putting it out there, that there's no use for national law in this area anymore.
I can already here the "buts" screaming at me through the interweb. Remember that the starting assumption of most individuals and like-minded groups is that they are unique, or have unique needs. This applies across all forms of thinking and human activity. Thinking you or your country is unique is about the least unique thing you can do.
From a consumer perspective, we need to ask why the most borderless service and content category – the online world – is the one with the most national regulation.
Why does a consumer in Austria need more rights to change phone contracts than a citizen in Slovenia? Why does a Belgian need 141 times more protection from 4G radiation than a citizen in France? .
In a connected and data-powered world we can see relatively quickly and easily what works and what doesn't. Policy is no exception, and it's quite clear that 28 different approaches to telecoms don't work.
Achieving uniformity would come at too high a political cost; but the cost of pretending there is a policy benefit to every European country doing their own thing is higher.
Jealously guarding the pet ideas and projects of whichever mid-level policy makers have cornered the geeky digital fields for themselves in a given country is not the way to make good policy.
Think about the example of the so-called "Universal Service Obligation" which imposes on incumbent telecoms companies certain levels of service guarantee. In the countries that want it. To the extent they feel like it. Or felt like it when they last discussed it. A decade ago. Seriously?
Here's my question to people who think it should exist: what's universal about it, if every country gets to decide whether to have it and what the parameters are?
Aside from the fact that it's hard for a government to keep up to date with what people want and need in terms of internet access, it's all just so pointless when a Universal Service Obligation is neither universal nor obligatory.
From a rural broadband roll-out perspective, let's look beyond the failed effort to use European Investment Bank to fill rural gaps, as the Connecting Europe Facility proposed.
[Tweet "We can abandon failed national practices and laws without impinging on national sovereignty…"]
…simply by spreading the best policy models.
What is there to gain from following the Italian model, where virtually no-one has fast broadband outside of cities? Nothing.
What is there to gain from the Swedish model, where virtually everyone does?A great deal.
Letting countries choose to fail out of deference to traditions of national policy failure is ridiculous. This has nothing to do with threatening a country's identity or way of life (unless you count poverty and isolation as a way of life) and everything to do with common sense.
From a business perspective let's look at mobile roaming charges. In popular debate we hear about holiday-makers getting shock bills or being forced to turn off their devices.
In reality the people and economic activity affected most by roaming charges are businesses and business travellers. Job creation, exports, and start-ups are not helped by roaming charges.
These are arbitrary charges introduced in the 1990s (and not from the get-go: the original system was just a 33% mark-up on your domestic bill when you travelled), based on non-existent extra costs.
It costs supermarket chains more deliver goods to stores without truck parking spaces than it does for telecoms operators to connect you while abroad. And you don't see that supermarkets charging a 2000% mark-up in response to their traffic problem. Why should telcos?
Stupid systems like this hurt the people who do most to grow our economy, and they hurt blameless victims like people who live in border zones. And that's before considering the anger and confusion imposed on ordinary retail customers.
There is no justification for them on market or political terms. They are simply logically inconsistent to the over-riding principle of the single market. No national law can possibly trump that set of arguments. And yet we hear endlessly about how hard abolishing roaming fees will be for telcos in holiday destinations like Portugal and France.
Yes, how terrible for those telcos having to cope with people paying them to send their holiday photos home in August. Next time you see a telco CEO: remember he is like a starving child – only he suffers more – because the fat from his roaming cash cow is at risk.
Then there's the mother of all stakeholder issues: net neutrality. We cannot seem to agree on a working definition of the concept to conduct a public debate. Given that, is 28 parallel national debates about the same universal network that we all depend on really the way to achieve public good? The only ways forward are European and global debates.
Then there's the mother of all geek issues: spectrum. If you look at chart of how spectrum is allocated in Europe it looks like a university student threw up on a sheet of paper after a night out drinking cheap spirits and pizza. It's so mangled and messed up that it's clear no national set of decision-makers could possibly untwist it all.
It's rare to even get enough brains in a room to make sense of it, let alone fix it. The relevance to the issue of national vs EU law is that there's a difference between saying every country has the right to reserve certain amounts of spectrum for military use (fair enough) and other distortions.
There is no reason to leave TV stations with existing spectrum just because they existed before mobile companies did.
There is no sense in greedy national treasuries conducting blood-sucking auctions – because all they do is delay new service roll-out and the extra tax receipts that come with it.
There is no reason for spectrum to be allocated to pagers (remember them on the doctor's waist in the 1980s) and taxi radio systems (what's an app, guys?).
Again, let countries reserve spectrum for the military, and then let a common European system apply to the rest. If we don't, you can look forward to your mobile phone dropping out even more often sometime in the mid-future.
Even when it is not legally or political possibly to apply European or global solutions, it is still fundamentally necessary to have European debates. Because if there is one thing we have learnt from the history of telecoms – from undersea cables to internet to the GSM standard to the rise of Vodafone to roaming price caps – it is that cross-border action has the best impacts.

Dozens of players keep running to EU competition authorities amid current wars around tech and telecoms policy. Anxious decision-makers are also weighing in by calling for more antitrust action. Yet the idea that competition law is a panacea for every market problem is misplaced. In fact, it could delay Europe's innovation dividend.
The fundamental rule in any market economy is that market forces, rather than public interventions, should be the predominate factor. If you have an idea or a problem – you try to address it first on market terms.
If you think the market has changed so much that there is no real level playing field, then you lobby to have the rules changed. Only in the case that all these efforts fail, or in the case that the rules were appropriate but broken in ways that significantly harm consumers and competitors, do you then think about getting competition law involved.
There are few instances in the current wars around tech and telecoms policy handling where these tests are met. Yet dozens of players keep running to the European Commission competition regulators to fix their problems.
Competitors who are failing in the market find it financially rational to roll the dice with regulators in the hope they catch a break.
"Five millions euros on a fake grassroots campaign and a bunch of mega-bucks lawyers – no worries! We could win a billion!" On the other side of the coin, companies under investigation or threat of investigation find it handy to string the process out. "Why settle now? Sure that would be simpler but if we string it out we could squeeze another billion out of our business model!" Ker-ching! [Tweet "EU and national regulators risk being turned into service-providers to warring market players"]
In this world-view if only the EU was fairer, tougher, softer, saner, quicker, more inclusive, less obsessed with consumers … pick your adjective, then all their problems would go away.
Let telcos merge! Take on Google! Show the Americans we are not pushovers! Save consumers! All these actors want the EU to be either digital-surgeon-for-hire or digital-death-squad-for-hire. They are wrong to want it, and deluded to think the EU can deliver it, even in the few cases where the current treaty makes it legally possible.
Those problems on their own might be containable. But another factor risks pushing this growing snowball out of control: the market players often misunderstand their own long-term interest.
Let me give you some examples.
1. Telecoms companies that insist on in-country mergers. These mergers are seen as a solution to their failing business models (shrinking margins on non-data services, and cross-subsidising rip-offs like roaming). Such companies run to the EU because their national regulators do not give the answers they want.
In trying to squeeze the Commission before there is a real EU telecoms single market they risk throwing away the last shreds of trust they have with their customers (they are already the most complained-about sector). Recent in-country mergers haven't improved networks (because you need external finance not medium-term merger efficiencies for that) but they have increased consumer prices.
More broken promises like this will lead to things like the most restrictive type of net neutrality laws and willingness by authorities to let these telcos go bankrupt.
Remember that the privately-owned companies can go bust and their cables and towers will simply be sold onto to someone less greedy. The government-owned companies are the biggest danger. They want mergers because they are too afraid to do what they really need to do: restructure, including making tens of thousands of unnecessary staff redundant.
That is politically difficult today – so it's much easier to blame EU regulation and run to EU competition enforcers to get them out of the real business choice they face. These former government monopolies risk bringing the whole house down, and it's really got nothing to do with competition law.
2. Companies that lined up to stall a Google search settlement (including Google). There's a whole question of whether this investigation was ideal, what's less ideal is the unseemly harangue around it. I've lost count of the number of fake organisations lobbying for certain outcomes. Here's a tip: any group with an adjective in the title is probably fake. Interests should lobby as themselves or via a neutrally-titled industry association, not via some imaginary group a citizen can't themselves join.
This endless jockeying over Google is virtually identical to the games around the Commission's 2012 data protection proposals. And all that won the antagonists was a half-cooked court ruling that posed more new questions than it gave answers.
The other analogy that comes to mind is the copyright policy gridlock in Europe. 14 years without a revision of the law, and Europeans are forced to pirate content to make up for the parallel trench-warfare regulators and stakeholders have built for themselves.
The main companies in all these games think their choice is short-term rational. Maybe. But it isn't long-term rational because it's one big distraction from the task of innovation. And it's downright crazy for European society, because it delays Europe's innovation dividend: jobs, and keeps European competitors in the thrall of the stupid meta-narrative that everything revolves around DG Competition.
A line needs to be drawn under this nonsense. Is that giving into new digital monopolies? No.
Google is not the monopoly when it comes to the internet – the US government is. Which is why the European Union has long wished to reform internet governance so that the monopoly is broken, and a fair level playing field can exist. Now that the US Government itself agrees to that, the task is to ensure it happens. That is the first big picture. Lining regulatory guns up against one successful player in a sub-market, a player which by definition is not a monopoly, is a fool's errand.
The second big picture is that of big data. It's not about the competitive tactics of Google or Amazon or Facebook. The big picture is about how data in a new means of production and how the manipulation of it is going to alter what it means to be human.
Dealing with that question is way above DG Competition's pay grade, but it is the question that should be consuming all of us – the companies included.
And here's the ultimate proof of why competition law isn't going to hit the nail on the head: the only thing the data companies would be scared of is if they were forced to register and publish their algorithms.
That may be a bad idea for lots of reasons, but it is the only thing that would truly allow competition authorities to know what is going on and to fix it. DG Competition can't force that and the EU is never going to be legally allowed to propose it.
So it's time to worry less about sideshows dressed up as the main game.
It's time to realize that competition law is just one instrument of one minority factor in the wider digital revolution.
If we don't, we're all shooting ourselves in the foot.

Throwback Thursday: In 1988, John Cleese Offended Stutterers With 'A Fish Called Wanda'
Long before revealing his enthusiasm for death while promoting his new memoir, the actor caught flak for the film he co-wrote and starred in
This story first appeared in the Oct. 31 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Making the rounds recently to promote his memoir, So Anyway …, John Cleese has attracted attention for his denials of retirement, enthusiasm for death ("Most of the best people are dead") and ad felinem attacks on Taylor Swift's lop-eared cat ("Is that a proper cat?" he asked Swift on a BBC talk show. "Or is it damaged irreparably?"). But the pop star is only the latest person to be offended by Cleese, 74, during his nearly five-decade career.

In 1979, he and his Monty Python crew were accused of blasphemy (the crucifixion scene in Life of Brian didn't go over well with Christian groups). And in 1988, Cleese caught flak from the National Stuttering Project, whose members were upset with Michael Palin's stuttering character in MGM's A Fish Called Wanda.
The Charles Crichton-directed comedy about a band of jewel thieves, which Cleese co-wrote and starred in, grossed $62.5 million domestically ($125 million today) and garnered two Oscar nominations and a win for supporting actor Kevin Kline. Nonetheless, the NSP asked that a scene where Palin is mocked while speaking be cut. (Some scenes were edited when the film aired on ABC.) "We also had a lot of complaints about the Kevin Kline character from the American Association of Stupid People," says Cleese. "We don't laugh at perfection."

Winter is coming. Kidding, it's totally here. The other day I put on a puffer coat just to move my car, so for a born & bred California girl it's safe to say that anything less than 50 degrees is freezing. I might be eating my words in a week, but I'm lucky enough that my skin doesn't suffer from any dry spots once the temperatures drop. So let's dive into my favorite essentials from this winter.
- belif Cleansing Gel Oil Enriched: After reading review after review of gel cleansers (and trying out Milky Jelly by Glossier), I hopped on the gel cleanser train. I'm all aboard now, since this one takes out every last drop of makeup, especially when you cleanse a dry face at the end of a long day.
- Living Proof Dry Shampoo: I've also been skipping washes throughout the week (only every other day, okay!) since it's way easier to curl my hair on a skip day. I can't say I love this dry shampoo, but it does the job. I'm still looking for "the one" though.
- Rose balm dotcom: I've already counted the ways that I love balm dotcom, so I'll spare you. This winter, I'm reaching for this lightly tinted balm with the same all-day moisture.
- Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream: This bb creamI'm a slather on and go type of gal. I have no patience for blending and disdain anything that feels like a layer of vaseline on my face. sinks right in and covers up those imperfections from any late night or too many pizza slices.
- Moisturizing Moon Mask by Glossier: This one's lightMaybe the trick to banishing any dry spots is a serious relationship with any and all face masks. , but doesn't skimp on the moisture. Plus, I've read that you can sleep with it on. Now that's a two-in-one mask.
- Harry's razor: Winter might not be the most optimal time for silky smooth legs. But when you discover Harry's razors (now sold at Target too!), it's hard to not shave even if your legs aren't catching the faintest glimpse of the sun.
- Replenishing Gel Cream by REN: Even if my skin's not having a meltdown, I like to give it a bit of upkeep when it comes to preventing blemishes. I've been using this daily, underneath my moisturizer, to keep it 100%.
- Highliner Gel Crayon Eyeliner by Marc Jacobs: Branded as a gel pot eyeliner in a crayon, this is my one-way ticket to a quick and easy lined eye. I like to put it on before a big night, that way the smudges look more semi-smoky rather that unintentional by the night's end.

Your body needs a certain amount of calories each day to maintain performance of normal activities, such as walking, breathing, sleeping, and thinking. Depending on your size, your body will require a different amount of calories each day.
Determining just how many calories you need to consume each day can get a little confusing. You need enough calories to provide your body with the energy it requires to live, but if you take in more calories than are necessary, the excess will be stored as fat. You obviously don't want this to happen, and you can avoid it by maintaining a food diary, in which you keep track of all the foods you eat each day and monitor your portion sizes.
On the flip side, if you eat too few calories your body will think its starving. This phenomenon goes back to the days of the caveman, when cave people weren't really sure when or where they would find their next meal. The body learned to store excess calories as fat for future use. Well, we no longer live like that as we, fortunately and unfortunately, have unlimited access to food thanks to modern conveniences. What this means is, if you're not eating enough calories your body will store the calories it does get as fat rather than trying to burn those calories. That sounds counterproductive, and it is. That's why it's important to feed your body regularly with the right amount of calories from the right sources.
One pound of fat equals about 3500 calories of stored energy. To lose weight you need to eat fewer calories each day or get your butt to the gym and burn off those calories. It's that easy - you don't need to be a mathematician to lose weight, you just need to start taking a look at some of your daily habits. Losing weight could mean shaving an extra 250-500 calories off your daily intake. Start your morning with a tall latté? Just one Vanilla Latté could pack an extra 250+ calories onto your daily caloric intake. By simply substituting your latté with regular coffee or green tea you could reduce your caloric intake substantially. If you want to try more exercise, calorie-burning activities such as walking to work, going for a jog with a friend, or taking the kids on a bike ride are all fun and easy ways to increase your daily activity level.
It is also important to remember that you need to eat the right calories from the right sources to lose weight and to maintain your weight loss. A meal of jelly beans and ding dongs that equals your daily caloric needs will not help you lose weight because these types of food are not nutrient sources that your body can use efficiently.
Weight Loss Exercise
Eating right is a vital component of any weight loss plan, but it's also very important to ensure that you get enough exercise. Combine aerobic exercise activities (also know as cardio) like walking, jogging or cycling with weight training (it doesn't have to be anything too intense, but it helps a lot to lift some weights) to maximize your weight loss.

HENRICO, VA (WWBT) - A family of nine has been displaced following a house fire in Henrico County, Saturday.
Firefighters were called to the 4900 block of Taos Lane at about 3:15 p.m. A 911 caller reported a bedroom was on fire and everyone was evacuating.
Once on scene, Henrico firefighters discovered flames coming from a second floor window. Crews were able to keep the fire contained to that bedroom, but we're told there is heavy smoke damage throughout the rest of the home.
Two adults and seven children, ages 8 to 17, were inside at the time, but managed to get outside and escape injury.
The Red Cross is assisting at this time, while the Fire Marshal works to determine the fire's cause.

By the way, my Dad had the exact same reaction to Luke at the Pharaoh gig: they both said it was the greatest drummer they had ever seen.
Who is he?
And once, when we were both drunk and listening to a Miles Davis record, my father did convince me that Elvin Jones' cymbal work was more intricate and complex than any jungle break mash up I'd ever heard.
Or was it Tony Williams? He loved them both. Can't remember now.
it was tony williams
Good film.
in terms of audio quality these are the best live Miles sets from 1973 that i've heard. i don't know why i've been gravitating specifically towards '73 recently as opposed to the general '73-75 period, i'm sure it's all in the same ballpark.
and these are the best from 1967.

Scary as they are, few vampires have a backbone
Only a handful of the world's vampires are vertebrates
Stephen Dalton/Science Source
Halloween horror aside, vampires are really pretty spineless.
Most have no backbone at all. By one count, some 14,000 kinds of arthropods, including ticks and mosquitoes, are blood feeders. Yet very few vertebrates are clear-cut, all-blood specialists: just some fishes and three bats. Why hasn't evolution produced more vertebrate vampires?
The question intrigues herpetologist Harry Greene of Cornell University, who "can't think of a single example among amphibians and reptiles," he says. (Some birds are opportunists, sneaks or outright meat eaters, but they don't have the extreme specialization of bats.)
Kurt Schwenk of the University of Connecticut in Storrs, who studies feeding morphology, comes up empty, as well. As he muses over what animals might have precursor biology that could lead to blood feeding, "a leechlike or lamprey-like blood-sucking tadpole should be a real possibility," he says. The idea gives him "the heebie-jeebies," but some tadpole species have already evolved mouths that can cling, and plenty of tadpoles are carnivorous.
Looking at the question from a different point of view — asking what would favor, or not, the evolution of blood feeding—he comes up with a less disturbing answer. For carnivorous animals, eating meat is nutritionally better than sipping blood alone, he says. So vampirism might not offer much of an advantage. "If you don't need to be light and you're not a parasite," he says, there's "no point in limiting yourself to blood." So maybe vampiric tadpoles aren't part of some creepy future after all.
Some adult fishes have evolved blood feeding, even mainstream vertebrates with jaws and bones (unlike cartilage-only jawless lampreys). Among the clear-cut bony examples are some Vandellia canidru catfishes, which fasten onto a gill of a much larger fish and let the fish heart pump sustenance into them as they nestle inside the protected gill chamber. (This is different from the supposed, or maybe mythical, tendency of some canidru catfishes to misunderstand fluid streams and swim up the urethras of humans in the water.)
Among vertebrates, vampirism inside or outside of gills might have arisen from ancestors that hitchhiked on big fishes and nibbled off parasites, in the same way modern remoras (also known as suckerfish) do, suggests parasitologist Tommy Leung of the University of New England in Armidale, Australia. Biologists already know about parasite-picker species, such as some cleaner fish, that will cheat and nip mucus or scales if they can get them. Actual blood-sucking cheats could be mere geologic ages away from that evolutionary step. Vertebrates may have relatively few vampires, but a greater number of almost-vampires.
Full-scale vampirism "is a tough way to make a living," says William Schutt of Long Island University in Brookville, NY, and author of a book on the topic, Dark Banquet. But also, he adds, one big reason why there are fewer vertebrate vampires than arthropod bloodsuckers may be in the numbers. There are just fewer vertebrates: an estimated 60,000 versus a whopping 10 million arthropods.

So I was kind of at loss of what to do for my next mani and I decided to look at my polish collection first to see if I got inspired by any colours. I choose an absolutely gorgeous cornflower blue from Nails Inc which actually doesn't have a name as it came free with a copy of In style magazine a while back.
I started with my base coat of OPI Nail Envy* and followed this with 2 coats of the Nails Inc blue. I plumped for a dainty image from plate BM-20 and stamped using Konad Special White(?). This was finished with an obligatory coat of Seche Vite.
Et voila!
It's not my favourite, the stamping isn't crisp or perfect enough for me but it's growing on me plus I have been getting a lot of compliments on it and I absolutely adore this blue polish.

Watercolour: Melbourne City in the Winter daytime & RSS/email updates
Posted by Leonie Yue at 5:00 PM Tags: australia, city, daytime, melbourne, uuuinfinity, watercolour, winter
Very tiny watercolour piece. One has to be veeery patient with watercolours, waiting for them to dry. Because they spread and explode where you don't want them to.
The being in the red jacket is me and this is my interpretation of early Winter mornings in Melbourne's CBD. And I draw myself in that red jacket so I'm recognisable in illustration, not because I wear it all the time haha
At times I had to walk behind someone who was casually walking ahead of me smoking and I struggled not to passive smoke. [Disclaimer: I don't smoke and I know a few people who smoke, so nothing against your freedom of choice despite the health risks; I completely understand that you struggle to find a place where you can smoke. I just don't want to be forced to smoke what you've smoked thanks]
And at the station there were seas of people going up escalators and mobs of people going from place to place either in cars or on footpaths. Basically felt busy, crowded and makes you feel insignificant and tiny.
Reminder to Subscribe to my RSS feed on the sidebar to keep updated!
If you haven't already, subscribe! At the moment, I'll post every two days at 5pm Australian Eastern Standard Time and at least I will post once a week. Or you can choose to get email updates instead!
A BIG THANK YOU to the two/three of you who are already subscribed/following me! (:

Château Fombrauge 2009
- Parker : 92
2009 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe
Chateau Fombrauge is one of the oldest domains of Saint-Emilion with origins dating back to the 16th century. The 2009 Chateau Fombrauge is 80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc et 8% Cabernet Sauvignon produced from vines averaging 30 years old.
This Grand Cru Classe from Saint-Emilion boasts pleasant maturity, lovely concentration, and superb density. The nose exudes truffles, graphite, blackberry, and blueberry. The palate offers full, creamy, dense, and juicy texture. Lush fruit flavours and texture largely command over abundant tannins.
Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2009 Fombrauge has the potential to be the finest wine ever made at this property. Michel Rolland is the consulting oenologist in the vineyard, which sits in the southern sector of St.-Emilion known as St.-Christophe des Bardes. It was picked very late in 2009, and the result is a powerhouse wine with an inky blue/purple color and the smell of pen ink, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries and cassis. The wine hit 15% natural alcohol, which gives it lots of glycerin as well as a full-bodied intensity, while the low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare have provided a striking level of concentration and length. This is very serious wine from an estate that is on the upswing. It should benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and keep for two decades.
Millesima offers Château Fombrauge, purchased exclusively from their producing estates. In stock in our cellars in Bordeaux in their original case from the Château or Estate.
