text: University publications University publications EPS News EPS news is a 40 page University of Manchester publication that we've been working on since 2010. It aims to showcase the research and activity undertaken across the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. We've project managed lots of university publications over the last eight years. What we did. We began working with the University on EPS News in 2010, and we were tasked with taking ownership of the entire process. From inclusion during initial editorial meetings to discuss the look and feel, tone of voice and, for each separate issue, the academics to be interviewed, we supported the Faculty's marketing staff in identifying newsworthy stories and features as well as coming up with design concepts for the magazine. The brief for this university publication was to produce a magazine that showcased the considerable strengths of The University of Manchester's Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences across a vast number of disciplines. The publication was to appeal to a broad audience, consisting of research and funding bodies, regional, national and international scientific business communities, researchers and academics, alumni and students. The publications are sent to more than 80,000 readers, and feedback has been very positive. Graphic design As well as contributing to the overall look of the publication at the concept stage, we designed and managed the layout of all content, taking guidance and direction from our meetings with University staff. Printing and delivery We managed the printing, using University approved suppliers, as well as fulfilment. Interviews We arranged all interviews and met with researchers, academics, graduates and students to interview them about their area of expertise. Photography We worked with a photographer to produce key shots for the publications, as well as liaising with relevant University staff to utilise its bank of images. ``I would like to pass on my thanks for creating a great alumni magazine. We've had brilliant feedback on it, both internally and externally, and from alumni who said it was the best publication they've ever received from the University.`` Zabina Kosar-Ahmed External Communications Manager, The University of Manchester AUA YOUR MANCHESTER RNCM EDUCATION COMMUNICATIONS Your Manchester As well as managing EPS News, we've project managed the publication of another of the University's magazines – Your Manchester.

Introducing the teams behind Hong Kong start-ups - watch live as they tell their stories and join the conversation
We've set out to meet the people behind some of the companies in the city's burgeoning start-up scene and hear their stories. First up: ex-New York lawyer Diane Younes and her mobile hair and make-up service, Sponge
In January Hong Kong hosted the annual StartmeupHK Festival showcasing the city's thriving start-up ecosystem. And it is thriving, with government body InvestHK saying the number of start-ups in the city rose from 1,558 in 2015 to 1,926 in 2016, making Hong Kong the fifth fastest-growing start-up ecosystem and the 25th largest overall.
Hong Kong start-up boosters and doubters lock horns at StartmeupHK festival
Today we kick off Groovers & Shakers on Facebook Live – a new series in which we'll shine a spotlight on some of the start-ups in the city and their founders, and find out what it takes to survive.
First up is Diane Younes, founder of Sponge, a mobile hair and make-up service launched in November 2016.
Younes left her job as a corporate lawyer in New York to move with her partner to Hong Kong, where she followed her passion and set up the company. "We are an on-demand service and we take our hair and make-up services to the home, office, hotel or an event with the click of a button."
The process couldn't be simpler: potential customers can visit the website, gosponge.com, and choose from a menu of looks.

The Mewar Festival is celebrated to welcome the advent of spring. It coincides with the festival of Gangaur in Udaipur, and has a unique charm about it. The festival of Gangaur is very significant for women of Rajasthan. It is a time for them to dress up in their best clothes and participate in the festival.
They gather to dress the images of Isar and Gangaur and then carry them in a ceremonial procession through different parts of the city. The procession winds its way to the Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichhola. Here, the images are transferred to special boats amidst much singing and festivity.
Once the religious part of the festival is over, it is time for cultural events where Rajasthani culture is portrayed through songs, dances and other programmes. The festival culminates with an impressive fireworks display. Like other fairs and festivals celebrated throughout the state, there is a lot of activity, which keeps the participants in a joyful frame of mind, eager to enjoy every moment.
Major events of the festival
Singing, dancing, devotional music concerts and firework displays. Procession of boats in the lake.
Udaipur is the jewel of Mewar kingdom ruled by the Sisodia dynasty for 1200 Years. The foundation of the city has an interesting legend associated with it. According to it, Maharana Udai Singh, the founder, was hunting one day when he met a holy man meditations on a hill overlooking the Lake Pichhola.The hermit blessed the Maharana and advised him to build a palace at this favorable located spot with a fertile valley watered by the stream, a lake, an agreeable altitude and an amphitheater of low mountains. Maharana followed the advise of the hermit and founded the city in 1559 A.D.
The Gangaur Festival is the colourful and most important local festival of Rajasthan and is observed throughout the State with great fervour and devotion by womenfolk who worship Gauri, the consort of Lord Shiva during July-Aug. It is the celebration of monsoon, harvest and marital fidelity in Jaipur.
Gangaur was celebrated as the state festival of the erstwhile state of Rajputana and each ruler took great pride in celebrating the festival with pomp and pageantry. The farewell given to Parvati on her last day was re-entered in the form of a magnificent procession on the final day of the festival. This tradition is still a part of the festivities of the Gangaur festival in the village Dundlod.
Gan is a synonym for Shiva and Gaur which stands for Gauri or Parvati who symbolises saubhagya (marital bliss). Gauri is the embodiment of perfection and conjugal love which is why the unmarried women worship her for being blessed with good husbands, while married women do so for the welfare, health and long life of their spouses and a happy married life. The festival commences on the first day of Chaitra, the day following Holi and continues for 18 days. For a newly wedded girl, it is binding to observe the full course of 18 days of the festival that precedes her marriage. Even unmarried girls fast for the full period of 18 days and eat only one meal a day.
Images of Isar and Gauri are made of clay for the festival. In some families, permanent wooden images are painted afresh every year by reputed painters called matherans on the eve of the festival. A distinct difference between the idols of Teej and Gangaur is that the Idol will have a canopy during the Teej Festival while the Gangaur idol would not have a canopy. The ladies decorate their hands and feet by drawing designs with mehendi (myrtle paste). The figures drawn range from the Sun, Moon and the stars to simple flowers or geometrical designs.
Ghudlias are earthen pots with numerous holes all around and a lamp lit inside them. On the evening of the 7th day after Holi, unmarried girls go around singing songs of ghudlia carrying the pots with a burning lamp inside, on their heads. On their way, they collect small presents of cash, sweets, jaggery, ghee, oil etc. The festival reaches its climax during the last three days. When unmarried girls and married women decorate the images and make them look like living figures. At an auspicious hour in the afternoon, a procession is taken out to a garden, tank or a well with the images of Isar and Gauri, placed on the heads of married women.

The news that China's Tiangong-1 space station will be crashing into Earth has been making headlines for quite some time now. Researchers all across the globe have been trying to pinpoint the exact location where the out of control space station will crash as well as the date on which it will land on Earth.
European Space Agency (ESA) and Aerospace Corporation have estimated that Tiangong-1will make a re-entry sometime between March 24 and April 6. According to the calculations of Dr. Marco Langbroek, the space lab might make its re-entry in the Earth's atmosphere on March 31, plus or minus a few days. Unfortunately, the location where it might crash still remains unknown and not estimated due to a couple of reasons. The space station is around 8.5 tons in weight.
Considering the fact that the station orbits the Earth several times per day, even a few minutes is enough time to bring Tiangong-1 over a completely different part of the planet. This means that it almost impossible to pinpoint an exact location for the space station's landing on Earth.
Scientists are of the opinion that even if the space station crashes into a populated area, it will burn before reaching the ground and thus it won't cause much harm.
Even in case, if some pieces of the spacecraft don't completely burn up in the atmosphere, most of the Earth is ocean. So, the chances of a single piece of satellite hitting the land are very less.
In fact, according to ESA, the chances of getting hit by any piece are equivalent to 1 in 10 million chances of getting hit by a lightning bolt in a year. However, scientists are still concerned about the toxic, colorless substance hydrazine, which is also used in rocket fuel. Notably, long-term exposure to hydrazine might cause cancer in humans.

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
Description of problem:
RH 7.2 Install process crashes on fresh system install from CD boot
attempt onto a fresh hard drive. Crash varies in many ways.
Message "Missing Operating System". Crashes vmlinuz.... blank screen.
After "RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0" get message either "crc
ErrorFreeing initrd memory: 2046K freed" or "Invalid compressed format
(err=2) Freeing initrd memory: 2046K freed". Expert mode install gives
debug dump of cpu registers. It's NOT hardware/memory, I tried multiple
working duplicate systems! Same random crash pattern! It's NOT the CD
either. Works on different type systems okay. See below.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from CD in attempt to install 7.2 on fresh drive.
Actual Results: (copied from Description above): Early message "Missing
Operating System". Crashes vmlinuz.... blank screen. After "RAMDISK:
Compressed image found at block 0" get message either "crc ErrorFreeing
initrd memory: 2046K freed" or "Invalid compressed format (err=2) Freeing
initrd memory: 2046K freed". Expert mode install gives debug dump of cpu
Expected Results: should have installed onto the fresh hard drive.
Additional info:
I suspect a math error on decompress or an I/O timing problem with AMD K6-
2. Looks like you introduced a solid bug when going from 7.1 to 7.2, as
7.1 loads and works fine. To eliminate the possibility of memory problems
I tried installing on a duplicate second system which I use daily. The
crashes during install of 7.2, though themselves random, are exactly the
same. The install CD is okay as it works on an AMD K6-233 no problem.
Timing may not be an issue as I slowed one the the K6-2 systems down from
550MHZ to 250MHZ and got the same problem(s). So it may not be like the
AMD speed patch from the AMD site for early Windows95 systems that had
timing problems at greater than 266MHZ. So the problem is 100%
reproducable preventing an installation from ever working on various K6-2
Spacewalker 597 systems on which RH 7.1 installs and runs just fine. Note
that the Spacewalker 597s have 1MB cache which is unusual. I am trying to
build a site to promote Linux, so although I may use a different system
for now, please find out what the bug is asap. I will be happy to ship you
one of the systems (I have three duplicates, and tried two, in addition to
the K6-233 system, as noted above) if you are unable to duplicate the
problem in your lab. firstname.lastname@example.com, 954-941-6343, 954-415-8819 cell
This sounds more like a kernel issue, since the kernel isn't even getting loaded.
I tried changing from the AMD K6-2 550 to the AMD K6 233 and that made no
difference. The K6-233 had worked in a different system as mentioned before. So
that makes it more of a mother board issue as far as the software is concerned.
The Shuttle Spacewalker 597 uses chip set VIA VT82C598MVP and VT82C586B. Maybe
this is an issue similar to the Intel 440 motherboards I hear you have a
problem with. Also, the BIOS is Award version 4.51PG with 1.0A PNP extension.
Again, I've tried other duplicate Spacewalker 597 systems with the same result.
fyi www.spacewalker.com - Phil email@example.com
does this work if you make a bootfloppy (from boot.img) and boot from that ?
Narrowed it down to the CD driver, see the last part of below.
Yes, a boot floppy seems to work. RAMDISK found it's compressed image and no
problem was reported with the image. The remainder of flop boot failed I guess
due to the fact that I brought up 7.2 in the K6-233 system, then used the boot
flop on the target Spacewalker 597 system which after successfully finding the
compressed image as mentioned above, failed with regard to the tulip/nic driver
and the fact the hard drive is still fresh/blank. So it fails when booting from
CD. Both duplicate 597 systems use a BTC 24x CD drive..... So I just tried
swapping the BTC 24x to a Mitsumi 16x, and that fixed the problem. I tried it
twice to verify the Mitsumi, then switched back to the BTC and it failed twice.
Note that RH 7.1 boots fine from the BTC, so I guess the bug was introduced in
the CD driver. The Spacewalker 597 is NOT the problem - sorry about the
misleading start. But it looks like you have a bug in the driver for the BTC
(Bios reports it as "BCD 24XHM"), maybe starting at "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:".
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases,
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in

More survivors have come forward – some from foster care, others from boarding schools and children's homes. We are slowly managing to obtain care files, make phone calls, meet up and take accounts. We have completed a number of timelines which helps us put together the names of staff and children in the homes and other important information. We have now identified 22 Islington children's homes.
If you have your file but haven't been in touch with us please help us by coming forward. Also, if you have photographs these can be very helpful to identify children, staff and places such as where children were sent on holiday. We have no doubt that there were networks of abuse in Islington and the files are one important means of collecting evidence even though most files are missing many key documents. Some survivors are on Facebook pages and this is a good way of spreading information about ISN and supporting others in coming forward. Many thanks go to survivors who have been putting up leaflets all over Islington and if anyone wants posters or small cards please get in touch to collect them. Most survivors are coming forward through meeting others and learning about us – so being able to pass on a 'business' card is proving really useful.
ISN is now supported by Islington Council Adult Services and survivors have had good help with housing issues. Some survivors have had support from Children's Services in relation to contact with their children and other family matters. However we still have no counselling scheme in place although there has been much discussion about it. We have also asked for free access to Islington's sports facilities and haven't had a response on this as yet.
Since the 6 brilliant editions of the Islington Gazette in May/June – Islington Council have repeated to us their apology for the abuse of children in their care and we have asked them to accept full liability. They appointed a lawyer (QC) who provided advice to the council in relation to the children's home Inquiries of the 90s and whether or not they needed to be re-opened. The council's decision will be announced at a Council Executive Meeting in late September. The council has appointed two child protection experts to assist in their investigations and we have met with them.
In July, three of us at ISN made a podcast with the help of Camden Community Radio. It is about 20 minutes and tells you about ISN. Many thanks to Freddie at CCR who got this organised for us and was a joy to work with. The above link takes you to the programme. If you want to make a podcast about your time in Islington's care -please get in touch with us.
The horror of Gisburne House – a blog is linked here. It includes some of what ISN survivors have been telling us about the abuse that went on there. So far there has been no justice for those who have come forward from this children's home. We have been given a copy of a documentary from the 80s about Gisburne and it shows the children at a birthday party and playing in the grounds. If you know anyone who was in Gisburne House in Watford Hertfordshire, please ask them to contact us.
We have been trying to work with police in the investigation of crimes against children who were in Islington's 'care'. The police officers working with us have kept changing and it hasn't been easy to start any investigations of alleged abusers or to reach the stage of reporting to the authorities those who present a risk to children. At the moment we are waiting for the decision of a Commander as to whether the Metropolitan Police will set up an Islington historic (non-recent) abuse investigation. Some survivors came to us 18 months ago telling us of crimes against them. Its been a long wait.
The Beeches was a children's home for disabled children in Surrey used by Islington and Hackney in the 60s and 70s. The Islington Gazette at the time reported a campaign by Islington parents after some children at the Beeches died. If you know any of these parents please ask them to contact ISN.
Shirley Oaks Survivors Association in Lambeth held a protest on 19th July at a council meeting and some of ISN went along in support. There were hundreds of survivors there and the discussion about the redress scheme – and need for an independent panel to adjudicate it – which began 6pm was still going on when we left at 9.30pm.

Scientists are just beginning to recognize the connection between food and our brain. Eat these nutrients for a wave of calming feelings that keep worry away.
Omega-3 fatty acids make your brain happy
Doctors often treat anxiety with therapy and medications, but the answer to calming the condition could be hiding in plain sight: the foods we eat. Doctors and nutritionists are starting to understand more about how certain nutrients, or lack of them, affect the brain.
"Our brain has very high energy and nutrient requirements," says clinical nutritionist and health coach Melissa Reagan Brunetti, CNC. "Nutritional deficiencies and dietary patterns can affect its function, and alter brain chemistry and the formulation of neurotransmitters—chemicals in the brain that can stimulate and calm."
These neurotransmitters influence our mood as well as our appetite, she says. A study from Ohio State University showed one nutrient that's especially good for reducing anxious symptoms is omega 3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like wild salmon, flaxseed, walnuts, and chia seeds. "Our brains need fat from dietary sources to function properly," Brunetti says. "If you are not eating a sufficient amount of beneficial fats, your brain will suffer."
Probiotics are good for the gut
Surprisingly, another calming food source is probiotics. "Your gut bacteria is needed for production of neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA [gamma-aminobutyric acid], which all play a role in mood," Brunetti says. "The microbiome [gut bacteria] has a direct link to the brain and the immune system, so restoring balance in the gut of good and bad bacteria through use of probiotics can benefit the brain."
Recent research has found that probiotics may actually work to treat, or even prevent, anxious feelings.You can either take a probiotic supplement or eat foods that have been fermented, a process which encourages good bacteria to grow, and has been shown in studies as a way how to calm anxiety.
"I like to see patients eat more fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kefir, as the kinds of bacteria in your gut influence anxiety," says Drew Ramsey, MD, a psychiatrist who specializes in using dietary changes to help balance moods, and author of Eat Complete. Another fermented food you probably already have in your fridge? Pickles! Could probiotics also be your best defense against spring allergies?
Caffeine makes you anxious
Although some of us feel like we're miserable until we've had our morning cup of java, coffee and other caffeinated foods and drinks actually worsen anxious feelings. Because it's a stimulant for the nervous system, it increases heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. According to the University of Michigan, coffee can lead to symptoms of worrying like nervousness, sweating, and shaking.
A study from Brazil found that caffeine actually induced panic attacks in people with an anxious disorder. Another study, from Wake Forest University, found that caffeine reduced blood flow to the brain by 27 percent. Not to mention that it can mess with sleep, which is essential for brain health. "Limiting caffeine intake can help quell inflammation and contribute to improved brain function," Brunetti says. Likewise, Dr. Ramsey suggests avoiding energy drinks with caffeine, as well as indulging in too much dark chocolate (stick to one or two squares a day).
Water keeps everything flowing smoothly
One drink that can wash away anxiety is good old water. "Staying hydrated with clean water is very important," Brunetti says. A study from the University of Connecticut showed that even mild dehydration can cause mood problems. According to the study's author, Lawrence E. Armstrong, PhD, by the time you feel thirsty it's too late.
"Our thirst sensation doesn't really appear until we are one or two percent dehydrated," he says. "By then dehydration is already setting in and starting to impact how our mind and body perform." The connection behind dehydration and anxious symptoms is not totally known; but the UConn study authors think it may be part of an ancient warning system alerting us to find water for survival. So, you should be sure to consume water throughout the day.
Stay away from refined sugar and processed food
Sweets and processed foods all are, not surprisingly, bad for your mental health. Sugar and refined carbs cause a spike in blood sugar followed by a sudden drop. A study from Columbia University found that the more refined carbs and sugar women ate, the higher their risk for mood changes and depression.
Another study, from the U.K., found that eating processed meat and fried foods had similar responses, possibly because of the link with heart disease and inflammation, which are also associated with mental health problems. "Skip highly processed foods, as these are mainly simple sugars and vegetable oils," Dr. Ramsey suggests. Instead, try eating more complex carbs like whole grains, which were linked to fewer mental health issues in the Columbia study.
Alcohol brings you down
Alcohol is a depressant but it can also worsen anxiety symptoms. And unfortunately, the two often go hand-in-hand—in a study that took place over 14 years, researchers found that people with social anxiety disorder (SAD) were 4.5 times more likely to develop alcohol dependence. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America says that 20 percent of people with SAD also suffer from alcohol abuse or dependence.
Drinking can seem like a good way to calm your nerves, but in reality, it causes spikes and dips in blood sugar, dehydrates you, and causes impaired brain function—all of which can lead to anxious feelings, which then make you want to drink more, creating a vicious cycle. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking a lot can cause changes in the brain's neurotransmitters that may induce these symptoms. For this reason, Brunetti says it's best to reduce or eliminate alcohol.
Load up on antioxidants
Here's another reason antioxidants are superfoods: They can help quell anxious moods. "Antioxidants protect the brain against oxidative stress [free radicals]," Brunetti says. "Oxidative stress leads to inflammation, which can impair neurotransmitter production." Research by the State University of New York found that anxious symptoms are linked with a lower antioxidant state, and that antioxidants could actually help treat mood issues as well. So which nutrients are antioxidants, and which foods contain them?
"Diets rich in beta-carotene like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, spinach, and kale; vitamin C like citrus fruits, red peppers, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and strawberries; and vitamin E like almonds, avocado, spinach, sunflower seeds, spinach, and sweet potatoes, are essential for supporting optimal brain function," Brunetti says.
Another powerful antioxidant Brunetti says is shown to combat anxious feelings is the trace mineral selenium, found in Brazil nuts, halibut, grass-fed beef, turkey, chicken, and eggs. Also, studies have shown that upping your zinc, which has antioxidant properties, leads to fewer anxious feelings. Cashews are a great source of zinc.
Magnesium is calming
Another nutrient that might stave off anxious symptoms is magnesium. "Magnesium is a calming mineral that has been found to induce relaxation," Brunetti says. In an Austrian study with mice, diets low in magnesium increased anxious behaviors. Research has shown that magnesium may also help treat mental health issues in humans.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, inadequate magnesium reduces levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, and antidepressants have been shown to increase magnesium in the brain—evidence of a positive link. "Magnesium can act at the blood brain barrier to prevent the entrance of stress hormones into the brain," psychiatrist Emily Deans, MD, writes on Psychology Today. "All these reasons are why I call magnesium 'the original chill pill.'" Dr. Ramsey suggests eating eggs and greens, like spinach and Swiss chard, for magnesium. Other sources include legumes, nuts, seeds, and avocado.
Try tryptophan
We usually think of tryptophan as the nutrient in turkey that puts us to sleep after Thanksgiving—and in fact, tryptophan is an amino acid that the body needs to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps regulate sleep and moods. According to the University of Michigan, tryptophan may help reduce anxious feelings.
In one small study, participants who ate a food bar rich in tryptophan reported fewer symptoms than those who ate a bar without tryptophan. More research is needed, but it seems likely that there is a connection. Tryptophan is in most protein-rich foods like turkey and other meats, nuts, seeds, beans, and eggs. (Incidentally, protein is also important for the production on the neurotransmitter dopamine, which can benefit mood as well.)
B vitamins bump up good feelings
Harvard Medical School advises eating foods rich in B vitamins, like beef, avocado, and almonds, to help ward off anxious feelings. "B vitamins have positive effects on the nervous system, and deficiencies have been linked to anxious disorders," Brunetti says. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, vitamin B6 helps the body make several neurotransmitters, including serotonin, which influence mood.
A study from Australia found that stressed-out workers who were given a high dose of B vitamins felt less strained and in a better mood after 12 weeks. Another study, from the University of Miami, found that depressed adults who took a vitamin B complex had fewer depressive and anxious symptoms after two months. "Another nutrient that seems to matter is choline, found in eggs, which is a cousin of B vitamins," Dr. Ramsey says. More research is needed, but these results are promising.
Cozy up with herbal teas
So you might not want to indulge in too much coffee, but you can relax with a mug of herbal tea in order to feel less anxious. "Great options for herbal teas are chamomile, skullcap, and kava kava to start," Dr. Ramsey says. A study from the University of Pennsylvania found that participants who took chamomile for eight weeks experienced fewer anxious symptoms than those that didn't.
However, be aware that kava can interact with anti-anxiety and antidepressant meds, so talk to your doctor first if you're on them. Plus, it's so relaxing that high doses of it could impair your ability to drive, according to one study. If you're using herbs for anxiety, steer clear of ones that are stimulating, such as ginseng, cautions Dr. Ramsey, because they might actually make anxious feelings worse.
It's not just what you eat, but how
Pay attention to how and when you eat. Bad habits can have a negative effect on anxious moods, which "get worse when people have low blood sugar," Dr. Ramsey says. "A simple step people often forget is to eat regularly." Brunetti says if low blood sugar is an issue for you (in other words, if you get "hangry"), eating smaller, frequent meals throughout the day can help.
According to Harvard Medical School, there is evidence that our Western diet, with its focus on refined carbs and processed foods, might not be great for anxious moods; instead, Mediterranean or Japanese diets, which include a lot of veggies and fish, may be the way to go. But, be careful of fad diets that eliminate entire food groups. "Diets that are too low in [complex] carbohydrates can also be detrimental" for anxious feelings, Brunetti says. "Include a variety of foods in your diet to ensure you are getting a wide range of nutrients needed to calm the mind."

Unless you're some kind of a saint, it's more or less impossible to resist the sweet temptation of a late-night takeaway binge. Admit it.
Luckily, Slimming World is on hand with its new Fakeaways book, which offers a healthier version of everyone's favourite naughty foods.
Feast your eyes on three delicious recipes to substitute your takeaway urges, including a double bacon burger, ricotta and spinach pizza and pork pad thai.
Double bacon burgers
Serves 4
Ready in 30 minutes, plus chilling
1 small onion, finely chopped
500g extra-lean beef mince
Small handful of finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 lean bacon rashers, visible fat removed
1 level tbsp. extra-light mayonnaise
2 tbsp fat free natural fromage frais
4 x 60g wholemeal rolls, halved (and toasted if you like)
A few lettuce leaves
¼ cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tomato, thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced into thin rings
- Place the onion, beef and parsley in a large bowl. Season and mix well with your hands until combined.
- Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and form each portion into a burger. Place the burgers on a plate lined with baking parchment, cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill to high.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat then gently press the burgers into the pan – you may need to cook them in two batches. Cook for 1 minute then turn and cook for a further minute to seal.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 5 minutes, turning frequently until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, grill the bacon for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.
- Remove the burgers and the bacon from the heat and drain on kitchen paper.
- Mix the mayonnaise and fromage frais together and spread on both halves of the rolls. Fill with the lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, burgers and bacon.
- Serve hot with chips and plenty of salad.
Ricotta and spinach pizza
Makes 1 pizza, big enough to serve 4
Ready in 1 hour
125g strong bread flour
1 x 7g sachet instant active yeast
1 tsp salt
4 shallots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp dried oregano
400g can chopped tomatoes
4 tbsp tomato puree
Small handful of finely chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Large handful of baby spinach leaves
a little grated nutmeg
120g ricotta
a pinch of dried red chilli flakes
- Put the flour into a large bowl and stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well in the middle, pour in 75ml of warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Dust a surface very lightly with flour, turn out the dough and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover until you're ready to roll it out.
- Put the shallots, garlic, oregano, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and most of the basil into a saucepan.
- Cook over a medium-low heat for 25 minutes, until you have a thick, spreadable sauce. Season well, scatter over a little more basil.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.
- Then, on a very lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a very thin rectangle.
- Slide it onto a preheated baking sheet, lined with non-stick baking parchment, and spread with the tomato sauce.
- Scatter the spinach leaves over the pizza and grate a little nutmeg over the leaves. Spoon dollops of ricotta on top and sprinkle chilli flakes over the ricotta.
- Season well and baked for 15-20 minutes or until the base is golden.
Pork pad thai
Serves 4
Ready in 30 minutes
low calorie cooking spray
500g extra-lean pork mince
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1cm piece of root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
bunch of spring onions, sliced diagonally
5 tbsp boiling vegetable stock
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
250g dried flat rice noodles
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
2 pak choi, roughly chopped
250g fresh bean sprouts, rinsed
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
small handful of finely chopped fresh coriander, to serve
lime halves, to serve
- Spray a large non-stick wok or frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-high heat. Add the pork and fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Add the garlic, ginger, spring onions, stock, soy sauce and Thai fish sauce, turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Add the carrots, pak choi and bean sprouts to the wok and turn the heat to high. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
- Add the noodles to the wok, drizzle over the egg and toss to mix well.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg is just cooked through then remove from the heat.
- Scatter over the chilli and coriander and serve hot with lime halves to squeeze over.

Are you at a stage in your life when you're feeling a little bit desperate? Wondering which way to go from here?
Many people want to know how they can start making money fast, or if it's even possible to do so online.
Getting Started
Although you hear and read a lot of hype on the internet, it is unlikely that you will get rich quick. Some people do get rich in a hurry though. Just keep in mind that this can be an inconsistent ride when you are first beginning. If you have done any marketing online, you know that there can be a lot of up and downs involved. Some days you do not sell anything, and other days you could get 4 or 5 sales. Things can be up and down, but as you get more experienced things should level out.
Be Realistic
If you are extremely desperate for money and cannot afford to go a couple of months without much income, then you had better make sure that you have some back up. It is wise to have a full time income while getting started online to support you and your family. While marketing online is the easiest money that I have ever made, it didn't come instantly. There is a definite curve in learning this business. However, if you have a longer time table, then you can really take the time to learn effective marketing.
Results May Vary
One thing that you will hear from thousands of marketers online is that if you do exactly what they have done, then you will have their same results. What we can do is explain what has worked for us and then you can take pieces of it and make it work for you. For example, if I teach 10 different people the same information maybe 2 will have extreme success, 3 will have some success, and 5 will have no success. While these are just estimates, the truth is that most people will never do what it takes to get their business off of the ground.
So in the end, yes it is possible to make significant money online. However, you are going to have to do some work. You can't just expect to follow a cookie cutter system to success. You have to learn how to brand yourself online. The truth is, you are the key to success.

For largely political reasons, Democrats in the U.S. Senate introduced S. 2199, the Paycheck Fairness Act, for a vote, and for largely political reasons Senate Republicans decided not to filibuster before voting unanimously against it. Little has changed.
The opposition's arguments on this issue are feeble, as explained in our May 23, 2014 blog. This time the arguments were the same, except that John McCain and others complained that the introduction of the bill at this stage of an election cycle was political opportunism rather than a real attempt to make policy.
It is surely true that Democrats are using the failure of this bill in their campaigns to increase their already-substantial advantage among women voters. This fact is clearly understood on both sides: for example, Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer said "It's a one-sided vote for political reasons, so (Democrats) can use it in campaigns."
It is also true, as opponents of the bill point out, that many attorneys support the legislation. In some cases there are self-interested reasons in play, but there have also been principled defenses of the principles behind the law. For example, Thomas M. Susman, Director of the Governmental Affairs office of the American Bar Association, penned a template letter for people to send to their senators, in which he concisely rebuts several common arguments against the bill.
The kernel of the argument for the law–which has not been refuted because it is simply true–is that women are often paid less than their male counterparts because they are told that their employer can and will fire them if they so much as ask a question about pay equity in their workplace. Women, and in general those who favor pay equity, are threatened into silence. This situation is wrong, the Paycheck Fairness Act would change it.
It is not a political stunt, at least not more of a political stunt than opposing it just because one doesn't want to see the President accomplish something. It does not pose an economic threat, at least not more of an economic threat than continuing to failing to incentivize women's work in the market.
The Paycheck Fairness Act is the real solution to a real problem. Hopefully it is only a matter of time before we come to our collective senses, overcome the forces of reaction and delay, and pass this important–and aptly named–piece of legislation.

DEAR ABBY: My 15-year-old stepson, "Justin," doesn't drink or do drugs. For the most part, he stays out of trouble. The problem is, he has been caught for the third time having unprotected sex.
DEAR ABBY: My 15-year-old stepson, �Justin,� doesn�t drink or do drugs. For the most part, he stays out of trouble. The problem is, he has been caught for the third time having unprotected sex.
My anger isn�t at Justin so much as at his parents, obviously his father. Justin has lied repeatedly about this. His father lets him get away with many things, for the most part minor. But this is different. A 15-year-old boy can�t take care of a baby, and having sex with multiple partners means exposing everyone involved to STDs.
My husband is a smart man, but for some reason he seems to think this will end well. I worry about his son becoming a father too soon and missing out on his full potential. My husband and his ex have dealt with this by trying to ignore it, and for the most part I haven�t involved myself. But the more I think about it, the more I see the danger of Justin�s life being changed forever because his parents don�t want to make him unhappy for a minute.
I love my husband and stepson. Allowing this to continue isn�t the right path for anyone. Am I overreacting? If not, what can I do that won�t cause a huge blowup with my husband? � ALARMED IN CHICAGO
DEAR ALARMED: You�re not overreacting. Your husband is doing his son no favors by enabling his irresponsible behavior instead of asserting himself and acting like a parent. Justin may think that fathering a child will make him a �real man.� But unless your husband can get through to him that REAL men take care of themselves and their partners, and REAL men don�t risk bringing children into the world they can�t take care of, then face it: He�s letting his son play baby roulette, and it�s only a matter of time until he�ll be a grandpa.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: My son has a wonderful girlfriend, �Michelle.� They live with my ex-husband and visit my husband, �Daryl,� and me twice a month and on special occasions. Michelle is sweet, caring, smart and funny. The problem is, she doesn�t wear a bra. Ever.
Relatives have commented about it to us at family gatherings because she�s not flat-chested. We already know. It�s obvious. Daryl feels a woman should go without a bra only in the privacy of her own home, and I agree. He thinks I should buy Michelle a bra as a �subtle hint.� I don�t think that�s wise, and I don�t want to offend her.
Because it doesn�t seem to matter to my son, should we continue to keep our opinions to ourselves? � SEES A NEED FOR SUPPORT IN FLORIDA
DEAR SEES A NEED: Because people are talking, it would be a kindness to say something to Michelle � but DELICATELY, so she doesn�t think you are criticizing her. If you have a good relationship with her, invite her to join you for lunch and, while you�re on the subject of the last gathering, mention that some of the relatives noticed her bralessness. Then tell her that you need to go lingerie shopping and invite her along. Ask her to help you pick out a few pretty things for yourself, and then offer to treat her to some things she likes. She just may take you up on it.

What women want in gadgets
There was a time when brands were offering pink mobiles, tiny sizes, lightweight handsets, flowery textures for the so called feminine women of the world. Well, times have changed and so have women! If you think that a lady sitting on the high profile corporate position is looking for some teenage girly stuff, you need to rework on your brand strategy as today's women aspire for smart solutions to their tech needs.gadgets Updated: Aug 23, 2011 17:46 IST
There was a time when brands were offering pink mobiles, tiny sizes, lightweight handsets, flowery textures for the so called feminine women of the world. Well, times have changed and so have women! If you think that a lady sitting on the high profile corporate position is looking for some teenage girly stuff, you need to rework on your brand strategy as today's women aspire for smart solutions to their tech needs.
Sleek Yet Bold
Gadget trends are more like attires today. They change frequently and with every season. What spring summer had on offer not necessarily will be the fashion of fall. But there are some trends that are the demand of the day. Women are looking for sleek yet bold styles. They want flamboyance but not making them look dumb about their own gadget. "I don't go for any gadget just because its commercially popular. I want my gadget speak 'me' but at the same it must match my requirements as well. I like to use I pad as it is more like 'all-in-one' solution. I am not a Blackberry follower but Apple. It's sturdier and looks domineering," say a Research Analyst from IT industry.
Now, that comes a reply from a tech woman. What about lifestyle and glamour industry? Do you think they still love the 'Bling appeal'? "When it comes to gadget, I always look for something black or grey in colour. It should fit in my palm and should be heavy. Of course, we all like to flaunt our gizmos but my tech tools need to be sturdy as like, the way I am," sums celebrity Pooja Bedi, a name who can't be taken that lightly!
What Women look for
With technology going easier and user friendly, working women are finding gadgets as their best friends. If a corporate working who is tied up with meetings one after the other finds a tablet the best medium to access her mails, do video calls and download her presentations for the meetings, a busy mom in her finds it a much easier way to stay connected with the family. "A gadget with excellent applications is always helpful for us who spend major time in office. I can pay my bills, order groceries, and search some good destinations for a weekend trip, these are just a few simple things which a tablet can make easy," says Market Analyst from HCL.
Application Trends, Differ Gender-wise
We are equal, but not necessarily in technology equations! Any gadgets offering some great applications are the first preference of any consumer. While men are always looking for the game applications, women on the other hand go for the witty and wiser applications. Women like to play word games on their smart phones, men usually end up in funny goal games or building modules. And, when it comes to downloading applications, many women download the books to go through during their lunch breaks in office. Men, do I need to mention they rarely try such stuff?
Another most interesting application that women are into is-grooming; While not many of us have time to follow a skincare regime, some prefer the same on their Tab. Thanks to brands like L'Oreal who offer iAds to make your life simpler! The list doesn't end here. "There are brands that are offering calorie counter applications, which are globally well accepted by teens. Corporate women specially look for a 'female calendar' as they are certainly too busy to keep a check on their dates. And, those who are on the dominant side look for gadgets that have news applications. This ways they are more aware about the trends and updates,' says an industry insider.
Whoa! I am sure the gadget world was never this exciting. Whether you fall in this category or not, I am on my way to explore my gadget that speaks 'me', only me!

I am going to follow in Christ's footsteps.
In Christ's day He often discussed doctrine and scripture with the Rabbi's and the Pharisees and Sadducees. He tried to understand His mission through the clarification of the priesthood in his day. I have tried to do that as well in my life. Christ, before he began His ministry went into the wilderness and fasted and went to commune with Heavenly Father. He stopped listening to the noise of the world and instead focused his attention on the LORD and afterward, He came out of the wilderness knowing his mission fully and nothing, not food, power, glory could distract him from the mission he knew he had to accomplish. He was reluctant, I believe only once, when he asked the cup to pass from him but he also knew that the Father's will was most important.
I am going to follow in Christ's footsteps.
I plan to enter the unknown, the wilderness, and seek council only from the Lord. Because I can not just head into the mountains for 40 days I am instead going to have to enter into the wilderness of mind. For Lent I am giving up all Noise that has hounded my mind. I am going to eliminate all discussion, all argument, all persuasion, all attempts to prove my beliefs in what to do: With regards to Religion, the Church, and the MoHo Dilemma. I plan to cut out ALL of this discussion and instead focus that time towards communing with God and listening to the Spirit. I plan to spend at least until Easter, but possibly farther not seeking out discussion at all and if it starts to happen either with others around me or in my own mind, I plan to change the topic. I do not know where this will take me but I have faith that it will lead to the Fathers will for me. I will spend my time getting ready to tear my soul in two. I will commit myself to following and covenanting with God in whatever he tells me. A part of this will be the curbing of all blog reading for about 40 days, I will (in the Catholic Tradition) check them once every Sunday but will most likely avoid commenting on them. My blog will most likely flounder for a little bit while I find my new voice, but I will blog about my experience and hope that the answers I get will bring me peace and a foundation of security.
PS Lent Starts Feb 25th, I will be at the MoHo party on the 28th, but will most likely be not to talkative when it comes to MoHo philosophies and I might need to leave early as well. :( sorry Scott.

or something of your choice (like Smoking for my Granny)ReplyDelete
Hmmm, I think I'll give up smoking for Lent too :)
Seriously, I think taking time off to clear you mind is a good thing. I look forward to reading about your experiences.
But, I guess the big question is: What are you planning for Fat Tuesday??? :)
David: I respect your dedication. I'm sure there will be plenty to talk about on the 28th even with your restrictions.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your post, David. I've wondered myself if I should take some serious time just for prayer, pondering, scripture study and soothing music. I've also wondered when to do this. Your post gives me the possibility to doing this or some of it for Lent. Good luck with your plans. I also look forward to reading a report on how it works out for you.ReplyDelete

Who says November in Vermont is bleak and colorless? Probably no one who ever caught one of our signature stunning autumn sunsets! In a time when technology can occasionally work to isolate people it's comforting to be able to still have a shared human experience like a sunset that simply stops you in your tracks. Radio is like that too. Last evening's sunset pyrotechnics were followed by the Will Patton Gypsy Jazz Ensemble's red-hot performance at 8 on VPR. Could it get any better than this?
