I've been seeing a lot of Leah Remini stuff around lately because of her new book. This reminded me of something that happened to me.
A story about me
Once I was living in Boston alone and I was super lonely. I would often try to find different things to do during the day to pass the time.
So, one day I saw a flyer about coming to the Church of Scientology to see a movie. I went. It was in this beautiful brownstone house right in Boston. When I came in, there was a display case with all of L. Ron Hubbard's books and other Scientology things that could be purchased. It was like a little store and not like a church at all. The couple behind the counter wore black turtlenecks and skinny pants and had necklaces on the outside of their turtleneck. They looked like they were right out of an Audrey Hepburn beatnik movie. I was just about to turn to leave because it was so weird, when they suddenly focused on me. After a few quick introductions, they whisked me off to a room with several chairs lined up facing a screen. Then they told me they'd see me after the movie. The lady left first and then the man slid out the door and the lights went out. I was in complete darkness. I tried to see my hand in front of me, but couldn't. Then (just like in the start of Close Encounters of the Third Kind), there was a loud musical boom and the movie started. I jumped, my heart was racing. I don't really remember the movie too much because I kept thinking someone was going to come behind me with a hypodermic needle and drug me. I could see a bit better from the light of the movie and so I kept looking around my feet to make sure I didn't see any hands. After the movie they gave me a tour of each room in the house. As we rounded one corner, I saw a door to the outside so I said (in an inappropriately loud manner), "I have to go RIGHT NOW!" and I ran through the door. I ran all the way back to my house because I was certain they were following me.
And that is why I am not a Scientologist.

I have a similar, but less creepy story about trying on an identity when I was new to Columbus and lonely. It involves a marginal church, but it was not dark and I was somehow able to gather my nerves and walk out in the midst of the service. Knowing what you're NOT is an important step in knowing what you ARE.

So this happened, and half the internet is in a frenzy. Now, admittedly, it doesn't take much to frenzy the internet, but this is truly a doozy:
The lesson here is "never go to sleep". All sorts of things happen while people sleep. Cats go on adventures, presidents threaten nuclear war and, well, ex-Valve writers post thinly-disguised plot summaries of the unreleased and, so far as best guesses go, long-cancelled Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Long time Half-Life scribe, the excellent Marc Laidlaw (who left Valve last year), casually tossed out a link to his website last night, which led to a short story about Gertie Fremont, Alex Vaunt and their climactic battle against evil alien invaders the Disparate (the site's having a wobble, but the page is archived right here).
While that might sound like satirical tomfoolery, the actual story very much sounds like how the final chapter of Half-Life 3 could have played out. It involves time-travelling cruise liners, resurrected overlords, the heart of the Combine and the fate of one Doctor Gordon Freeman.
This is really happening.
Everything points to this being a thinly-veiled act of rebellion against Half-Life's creators never getting the chance to finish the story they were telling. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 ended on probably the biggest unfulfilled cliffhanger in gaming history, and for almost ten years now, we've been waiting for a continuation or a conclusion. This must be incredibly frustrating for the original creators of the Half-Life series, and honestly, I'm surprised it's taken them this long to start breaking rank.
From everything we've heard over the years, we can conclude that there will never be a Half-Life 3 or even an Episode 3. Many - if not most - of the original creators of Half-Life 1 and 2 have left Valve, and the company has little to no incentive to create a game that, like Duke Nukem Forever, will never live up to the hype they themselves created.
The established theory regarding why there's no Half-Life 3 or Episode 3 is that Valve wanted the game to be as defining and revolutionary as Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2, but I think that's the wrong mindset to have. Gaming has come a long, long way since the late 90s and early 2000s, and over roughly the past decade or so there simply haven't been any games that rebooted or revolutionised entire genres, or established new ones. The only game I can think of in the past ten years that created a new genre of games and had an everlasting impact on the industry is Minecraft, and that was a fluke.
The industry is more mature, more settled now, and it's much harder to be revolutionary today than it was 20 years ago. The great games of today aren't revolutionary; they are evolutionary, perfecting and polishing established genres, taking them to new heights. Games like The Witcher 3 and Horizon: Zero Dawn aren't loved because they changed the industry; they're loved because they took existing genres and executed them in the very best ways the current generation of technologies allows us to do.
I see no reason why Half-Life 3 or Episode 3 should change the world or revolutionise what we think of as games. Just let it tell a great story with the characters we love, polish its chosen genre to perfection, and people will love it just as much 20 years from now as we love Half-Life 1 and 2 today.

Hanahan in Berkeley County, South Carolina — The American South (South Atlantic)
Steepbrook Plantation
This plantation was established in 1701 by a grant of 500 acres near Goose Creek to Lewis Lansac from the Lords Proprietors. In 1757 the original grant, with an additional 1,000 acres that had been owned by the Wilson and Godin families, was acquired by rice planter and legislator Peter Manigault (1731-1773). Manigault named his plantation for a stream that ran through his rice fields down to Goose Creek.
(Reverse text)
Peter Manigault's two-story house sat on a nearby ridge on the bank of Goose Creek. Manigault, longtime member of the Commons House of Assembly, was Speaker of the House 1765-1772 and at his death the wealthiest man in North America. His son Gabriel (1758-1809), a planter and legislator, was best known as an amateur architect. W.J. Sineath acquired the 633-acre core of the plantation in 1833 and renamed it "The Oaks."
Erected 2010 by The Town of Hanahan. (Marker Number 8-65.)
Location. 32° 56.01′ N, 80° 1.701′ W. Marker is in Hanahan, South Carolina, in Berkeley County. Marker is on Mabeline Road, on the right when traveling north. Touch for map.

Regarding Steepbrook Plantation. Peter Manigault was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1731, the son of one the city's wealthiest merchants and private bankers. Like most of the children of Charleston society in his time, Manigault went on a European tour as a young man.
Manigault traveled, made connections and studied law at the Inner Temple in London during his four-and-a-half year journey. It was on while on this tour, in 1751, that he had his picture painted (now missing)in London- what colonial Charlestonians aspired to and achieved materially and socially,- by prominent portraitist Allen Ramsay
They wanted to be seen as being as sophisticated and worldly as any London aristocrat.(Museum of Missing History)

Going bald leads to two very unfortunate things that include self esteem and confidence, declining rapidly these effects every aspect of our lives and the research has been conducted to show that balding are seen as a sign of aging while thicker locks are seen as indicators of youth and masculinity. Thus, when the hairline recedes then things start to look quite bleak. What's the worst that hair loss is not your fault, mostly the reason are inheriting a particularly pesky gene and natural causes. However, something can be done always, from a dramatic solution by visiting FUE hair transplant in Islamabad or to work on preventive measures.
Find the root cause
There can be many reasons for balding and many doctors diagnose balding simply by looking at it which means an incorrect diagnosis. Baldness in the form of the M pattern can be an indicator of many underlying health issues. Hormonal, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, low iron, and low protein can all cause hair thinning. Going to a specialist as soon as the hair loss begins would able the doctor to pinpoint the cause and a scalp biopsy would further determine the cause. The more specific the cause the better solutions can be generated to combat it.
The media can be very deceiving with adverts and infomercials for touting hair-growing shampoos and pills. At the time these may seem like a good idea and a money saver, however, in the long run they would be the cause of hair loss and further accelerate them. These products have never been clinically studied nor do they have guarantees that would ensure any lasting results. Then there are the side effects to consider also which may cause skin rash or more aesthetic problems.
Change Shampoos
Shampoos can also be very deceiving as they claim to make hair look thicker and however, not all shampoo can do what they claim. Ketoconazole is one anti-fungal which can be used to preserve the scalp. In between the use of recommended shampoos, baby shampoos should also be used to avoid dryness and irritation.
Eat to prevent hair loss
The better your diet the more your hair line would redeem itself. Fried foods are known to reduce oil-gland activity which reduces hormones that produce hair follicles. Sweet foods are also known to trigger release testosterone, which leads to hair loss.
Stressing about hair loss only leads to further hair loss which is not helpful to anyone. Remove your stress, using exercise and tone up your body so that the light shifts from the receding hairline. It is also important to understand that your hairline does not define you rather install a more realistic outlook in yourself. Balding should be taken as a sign of maturity and a different look rather than being perceived as old. Work on your personality and live with the motto that the inside defines you more than the outside.

France brought South Africa's 13-game unbeaten home run to a grinding halt with a richly-deserved 26-36 win in front of a stunned Newlands crowd.
Bernard Laporte's men outscored the Springboks four tries to one, with Jake White's side looking bereft of ideas in the threequarters and brutally exposed at the scrummage.
France had far too much ingenuity and pace in the backs and completely controlled the set piece, where they were held back only by an eccentric refereeing display from Australian Stuart Dickinson.
The visitors opened the scoring with a try from left-winger Cedric Heymans. Florian Fritz added a drop goal and Dimitri Yachvili a penalty, but South Africa went in at half time 12-11 ahead thanks to four well-struck penalties from Percy Montgomery.
The Springboks added two more Montgomery penalties early in the second half and Russell crossed for a try moments later, but France responded immediately with a sublime try from winger Vincent Clerc, who added his second in the 73rd minute when another flowing French move, initiated by the imperious Yannick Jauzion, saw the winger fly over in the corner.

It's currently pm and is thundering, lightening and also raining outside. I'm also supposed to remember lines for some crappy end of term English drama play. It's really stressing me out because we have to learn these lines off by heart by tomorrow. This is supposed to be a fun end of term thing but also seeing as I also have to learn a 200 word Spanish assessment that could potentially go towards my final GCSE, I'm not finding it so fun. If I had a nice teacher I would explain that it's putting extra pressure on me and other who are also taking the exam but she would literally scream at me and saying I'm not putting enough effort in. I'm fine with doing drama and having my script with me would be so much better.
You may have noticed that I haven't blogged for a little while and I have a valid reason. My reason is that I don't want to have endless amounts of meaningless posts that mean nothing to you or me. Sometimes I have 10 ideas spinning round in my head but sometimes I have none. Lately I've been preoccupied with exams and other things but I have been meaning to write this for a little while and I want to write it now as a way of stress relief.
I've often heard of how girls are supposed be covering them-self up because of men. Even the other day we had non-uniform day and my English teacher said something that made me so angry. She said 'have you seen all these girls prancing around in crop tops, I mean who do they think they are?'. It's making me angry as I write this and I'm finding it difficult to make what I write make sense.
What is wrong with showing skin? They may have worked hard to get to a point where they and comfortable and happy within their own skin. If companies sell crop tops what is your reasoning behind me not being able to wear one? Oh is it awkward for the males? Oh I'm so sorry.
Girls can wear whatever the fuck they want.
If I want to show something of my body, and I mean my body then I will.
It's also annoying when boys point out something like, I can see your pants. Yes, well done I, like many many other girls are currently wearing pants. I also wear a bra so you may be able to see my bra strap, god forbid.
Instead of teaching girls to cover up maybe we should teach boys to treat girls with the respect they deserve and stop degrading us and looking at us like we're fucking sex objects. Get the fuck over it and maybe look at my face instead of what's below.
This doesn't apply to all boys. Most boys are lovely and some of my closest friends are boys. Just the narrow minded fuckboys.

Oh, am I showing to much skin? I'm so sorry.
4 comments:
I totally agree!!!ReplyDelete
Right, so my year were doing PE and it was so warm, the boys were allowed to take there shirt off, but the girls were not allowed to wear a tank top..
The teacher said, I don't want the boys thinking anything about you girls!
We all stood there looking at her. 'the boys have NO shirts on!'
I couldn't agree more.Why in this society are we still expected to cover up every inch of skin? I mean, it's Summer for Christ's sake, I don't want to wear trousers all the time.ReplyDelete
Rant over.

Elea-Jade :: Sicilian beauties
This is already the third time I've met this little sweetheart, and together with her family she holds a special place in my heart! In the previous occasions we had been organized the shoot once in the beautiful landscapes of Etna's Mountain, as well as on the deserted winter beaches near Catania… so we decided that this time we would use a setting that was very sicilian, and opted for oranges fields. One of her beautiful three dogs came over with us, and we even tasted the oranges (the field owner is dad's friend) and OMG they were SO DELICIOUS!!!
One thing I truly love about my work is how more often that not through the photography service I provide there comes a beautiful relationship with those families. They become much more to me than just clients, they become friends. And I truly love seeing them grow and being part of this.
It is a true gift to my heart.
So thank you to every client that have given me this opportunity. Thank you for sharing such important times and moment with me and for trusting me to capture them and create long lasting images for you and your children. It really means so much to me ❤
Elea-Jade :: Meravigliosa Sicilia
Mariasole :: 24 Days new
This newborn session date back almost a year now, given that Mariasole was born on the 23rd April. Usually I tend to photograph newborns within the first 10-15 days, but this was definitely a special case!
Mariasole is my little second niece, and as I was away when my sister gave birth, I truly wanted to still try and get as much newborn like images for her, because I know it is special and I wanted to have this memory to hang on their wall.
The photo session had been totally crazy… it seemed that my niece was a little angry at me for not being there for her birth ;p …Or more likely she had already entered the baby colic stage… it was definitely A LOT OF FUN for myself and my sister… I got literally washed out with her poop over and over… basically every single time I took her in my arms, she did grace me with it again -.- We couldn't stop laughting ❤ Poor sweetheart ❤
Anyway we did manage to get on with her photos, and made sure to include the little owl hat and the sweet bunny outfit that her grandma had made for the occasion, and did a few details shot that mum really had at heart, of them both holding her tiny little feets and her hand… pure sweetness.

But back to this gorgeous newborn session, Big Sister was sooo proud of her baby brother, and Riccardo, his two-years-old brother, was loving to cuddle him…we struggled a bit to keep him calm cause he was so excited about having me over to visit again 🙂
Definitely an adorable family which I always loo forward to see again!

So I'm going to the east coast for xmas and I want to bring the fam some Oregon edible delights. What do you suggest and more importantly where can I get them? I am planning on going to Oregon Wines on Broadway so I can try before I buy, but where else? Can I get anything salmon-related to travel? We're talking 6-7 hours on airplane.
Don't make me have to make an emergency run to the hazelnut kiosk at the airport! :) (Though they're good...)

The Franklin Lions are off to a tremendous start despite Coach Reed having to adjust his lineup early in the season. The Lions looked to be dominant inside at the start of the season with both veterans Colton Shields and Casey Phillips returning inside. Even though they lost standout Ian Knight from last year's team the Lions still looked to be solid inside.

I've been bleaching my hair since I was 14. I'm naturally a mousy blonde, but I've always loved the look of white/platinum blonde hair. I don't always do my hair myself. Recently, I actually did my hair for the first time in over a year. However, I used to do it myself consistently for about five years. Naturally, over the years I've learned what works best for my hair through trial and error. I've used most bleach kits and blonde hair dyes that you can buy at your local drugstore. I have also used quite a few bleach powders and developers which are used in many hair salons and are also used by my hairdresser. Today, I want to introduce you to the best drugstore hair bleach and a few other products that help me achieve white/platinum blonde hair at home.
Bleach London Total Bleach £8
The best bleach kit from the drugstore is hands down by Bleach London. I decided to try this about two years ago after seeing PlatinumBl0nde's video on how she gets her hair white/platinum blonde (you can watch her video here). Since most of my hair is already bleached, I only bleach my roots. If you bleach your hair more than once it will become very brittle and will break off. Trust me, you don't want that.
I'm quite lazy, so for the past 2 years I've been leaving my roots to grow out for at least two to three months before I bleach them. I used to bleach them every month as I hated the 'root' look, but I don't mind it so much anymore. Not only that, but my hair stays in a much better condition when I bleach it every two to three months.
Bleach London is actually the only bleach on the high street that lifts my roots to white/platinum blonde. I won't lie, when my roots are longer than 3cm the bleach does leave some yellow tones in my hair. However, that's because the heat from my scalp struggles to reach the longer regrowth. Our scalps actually generate heat which helps the bleach oxidise better. Usually, the heat only helps to lift the hair to a white colour for the first half an inch (1.3cm) Thus, Bleach London actually suggest bleaching your roots every 4-6 weeks.
What does the kit include?
The bleach kit comes with an 80ml bottle of peroxide (developing lotion), 2x25g sachets of bleaching powder, 1 50ml conditioning repair mask, 1 tint brush, 1 mixing bowl and 1 pair of gloves.
How I bleach my roots to achieve white/platinum blonde hair?
Step 1:
The first step I take is mix the bleach powder with the peroxide (developing lotion). I find that the little mixing bowl that comes with the kit is slightly too small which makes the mixing uncomfortable for me, so I normally use a plastic bowl or a lunch box that's slightly bigger.
Step 2:
Next I part my hair in a centre parting. You can also section your hair into quadrants. When I first started bleaching my hair at home I used to section my hair into really small parts as it helped to manage the hair better, but now I just do whatever is quicker.
Step 3:
Thereafter, I start applying the bleach with a tint brush. I have purchased a slightly bigger tint brush than the one that comes in the kit as it helps me to work the bleach quicker. The brush that comes in the kit is perfectly fine, I've used it a couple of times. I just bought a bigger brush because I used to do my roots myself quite often and I want the application process to be super quick to get the best results. I do try to make sure I don't apply the bleach on already bleached hair to avoid more damage. Normally, I also use a small comb to make a new parting after I've applied the bleach and brush the covered hair to one side so I can apply the bleach on the new parting. Then I just repeat the same process until I've covered all of my roots.
Step 4:
Once I've applied the bleach, I clip all of my hair on top of my head, put on a plastic shower cap and wrap my hair in a towel. This helps to generate even more heat from my scalp and move the bleach further.
Then I (sometimes) move onto the toner.
Bleach London White Toner £8
I have to admit, I've only tried this particular toner once. I wouldn't necesserily say it's an important step unless your hair turns out really yellow. Since my hair lifts quite well, I can normally just wash it with purple shampoo to get rid of yellow patches. I will definitely repurchase this for those really desperate times when my hair turns out really bad as it really did help to get rid of some really yellow patches I had in my hair. However, unless you find that your hair just won't get rid of yellow tones this is a waste of money, time and the condition of your hair.
Bleach London Silver Shampoo £6.50
I absolutely love this purple shampoo when I want to achieve really white/platinum blonde hair. I have tried quite a few purple/silver shampoos, but they either don't do anything or they leave my hair with a slight purple tint. Don't get me wrong, I love that purple tint. I actually used to wash my hair all the time with another purple shampoo to have purple toned hair and everyone, including myself loved my hair. However, sometimes I just want plain white hair, so this is what I use. I use quite a bit of this and I coat my hair in it, let it sink in for a few minutes, then I lather it up and rinse it out. I always follow with a good conditioner or a mask to condition my hair as purple/silver shampoo is very drying for the hair.
Bleach London Reincarnation Mask
This mask comes with both the Total Bleach kit and the White Toner kit. I've used this quite a few times and it's pretty good. I'm not over the moon with it, but I can't say it's a bad product. I normally just use it because it's there, but because I normally use other repairing treatments, this doesn't wow me. It does leave my hair really soft, smooth and shiny. It smells pretty good too.
Things to consider:
- My hair is naturally a mousy blonde shade. It's also very fine. Even though I have a lot of hair, the texture and my natural hair colour allow my hair to lift much better than the average person. If your hair is darker than mine, or is very thick, you might not achieve the same results with this bleach.
- If it's your first time using hair bleach, do a patch test behind your ear to see if you don't react badly to the bleach. This is very important, because you can end up with no hair if you have an allergic reaction.
- Bleached white/platinum hair requires a lot of aftercare as bleach does a lot of damage to your hair. You will need to purchase a few treatments and good shampoo and conditioner. For example, I recently used TIGI's Dumb Blonde Tween set which helped me to get my hair into a better condition.
I hope this post was somewhat useful to you. If you have any questions, please comment them down below.
P.S. This post is not sponsored, nor these products were sent to me. I purchased all of them myself (some multiple times) and I really do love them. My mission when it comes to this blog is to help people feel better, look better and live better. Therefore, I'm just sharing what works for me in hopes that it will also work for others.

text: Another day and another dollar. I have work at Wal-Mart tonight, happy joy joy. Actually its not all that bad. I like it when its busy. My clothes are fitting looser to and thats always a good sign. I went garage saling this morning because bear called me and told me there were some out there. He also cleaned the back bedroom for me and moved a book shelf out of Coyotes room that he wasn't using for some of my inventory. There is an old TI stand back there as well that I can use. This helps get all of them out of the formal living room. I found a brown skirt that I can wear to work to. Were allowed to wear any variation of the colors between khaki and dark brown. We can also wear any shade of blue for our top between royal blue and navy blue. Finding blue tops that fit comfortably was pretty easy but finding bottoms has been a little bit more difficult. I have this a rule about anything that puts pressure on my waist or feels to tight in the arms. I refuse to do physical labor in uncomfortable clothes.

"The designer, looking for something original, can rest assured that whatever he comes up with, if its any good at all, has been done, near enough, before. If it is really 100% original it will be hideous, which is why so much modern design is hideous.
Indeed when someone talks about modern design, you know before you see it, its going to be bald, banal and boring like the modern office block, often because the better things of the past were made when materials were cheap and there were plenty of highly skilled craftsmen – also cheap.
So much of the sneering about richly ornate designs of the past – especially in architecture – is really sour grapes. How they'd love the opportunity to do so lavishly today! So to make a virtue out of necessity and kid themselves that it's good when anyone can see its kitsch!"
A little quote from Bill jones
i did not take that origional quote about bowl design from a manual or a book, its simply what i felt.
Bill has a point of view and its just as good as anyones elses, but the difference is he uses words to express a strong feeling which in many of us has built up over the years - however im not saying i agree with him.
Craftsmanship as well as artistry needs to be free, even down to making something to sell, otherwse our real creatives are stifled.

Editorial. Yves Levy, Executive Director

2 Editorial Yves Levy, Executive Director I am delighted to announce the creation of a new research centre: the Vaccine Research Institute (VRI). The VRI addresses the unprecedented challenge of developing an effective vaccine against two major threats to public health, namely: HIV/AIDS and HCV. The VRI scientific plan originates from the existing ANRS vaccine research programme and will build on its comprehensive network of research teams, clinicians, core facilities and industry partners. My colleagues and I believe that the novel structure of the Vaccine Research Institute will help to accelerate vaccine development by strengthening links between basic, translational research, patient-associations and the socio-economic world. The field of HIV and HCV vaccine research presents many challenges and obstacles, but also hope and opportunities. We are excited that the Vaccine Research Institute will participate in the collective and collaborative international effort to develop safe and effective vaccines.
3 The Vaccine Research Institute (VRI) was established by the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and viral hepatitis (ANRS) and the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) following the award of the status of Laboratory of Excellence by an international scientific jury and announced by the French Prime Minister on 25 March 2011.
4 Mission The mission of the VRI is to conduct research to accelerate the development of effective vaccines against HIV/AIDS and HCV. The scientific goals of the VRI offer significant opportunities for innovation as they intend to: develop and extend the portfolio of HIV/HCV candidate vaccines to be tested in clinical trials improve the technology of immunological testing in vaccine trials strengthen the partnership between immunologists, virologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, primate model specialists and clinicians create novel partnerships with industry develop a social science programme to analyse the specific issues related to communication of HIV/HCV vaccinology provide strong expertise on regulatory, legal and ethical aspects provide the optimal environment for improved coordination and increased funding. Research The VRI stems from the existing ANRS vaccine research programme and includes research teams, core facilities, a network of clinical centres, and industry and charitable partners. The current ongoing projects include: development of vaccine candidates viral antigen presentation and dendritic cell biology immunogenicity of prime-boost strategies in non-human primate models study of immune correlates of protection phase I and II clinical trials. The VRI will develop an incentive policy for recruiting young high-potential talent, new teams and internationally recognised scientists. An attractive starter package will facilitate the settlement of the most promising teams within the VRI. Teaching The VRI will represent a unique educational opportunity in the field of vaccinology and knowledge sharing. The VRI plans to create a new Masters degree in vaccinology with the objective to train students in immunology, vaccinology and the development of research products while also addressing innovation, identification of market opportunities and business and financial plans related to the development of vaccines. Leadership The VRI is composed of a board of trustees to approve the scientific strategic plan and control its execution. The executive scientific committee is in charge of the scientific plan. The external scientific advisory board provides the VRI with advice and evaluation of the research programme. Future In order to house the increasing number of research teams, a new building will be constructed at the Mondor Hospital site in Créteil, on the outskirts of Paris. The VRI will benefit from a new 5,000m 2 research building, constructed in a public-private partnership. This new facility will accommodate state-of-the-art equipment as well as excellent research teams and industry partners, thereby gathering a critical mass on a common site. The new building will be designed on a modular approach to ensure high interaction between groups and to include laboratory space and seminar rooms. Large equipment will be common and accessible to all; the building will be also designed to allow flexibility to accommodate new equipment and facilities in the future.
5 About the ANRS The ANRS (French National Agency for Research on AIDS and viral hepatitis) is the leading organization for research on the HIV/AIDS and hepatitis epidemics in France, and a leader in the fight against these diseases in developing countries. Created in 1992 by the French government, the ANRS coordinates and funds public research on AIDS and viral hepatitis: vaccine research basic research clinical, therapeutic and epidemiologic research research in public health and the human and social sciences research in developing countries. ANRS provides funding for research projects, scholarships for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and also funds clinical and vaccine trials in France and developing countries. The ANRS is collaborating with the main national and international stakeholders in the fight against AIDS and viral hepatitis: research organizations hospitals and universities pharmaceutical companies private foundations. In those developing countries where it is present, the ANRS works hand in hand with local institutions and includes their researchers in project management. Since its creation, the ANRS has included community representatives in its scientific life and strategic decision-making. During the past 15 years the ANRS has conducted a comprehensive top-down programme dedicated to the development of HIV vaccines. About UPEC With 32,000 students and 12 faculties, the UPEC is the largest multidisciplinary and vocational university within Île-de-France. 13% of our students come from over 118 foreign countries. Founded in 1970, it quickly developed around its 12 faculties and institutes, spread over five towns (mainly Créteil) of Île-de-France region, in the counties of Val-de-Marne and Seine-et-Marne. The university has successfully united a range of disciplines which offer an exceptional program of education (ranging from technology diplomas to doctorates) and houses 31 laboratories covering almost every available field. In 2007, the university took an important further step by becoming a member of the Université Paris-Est Higher Education and Research Cluster, along with Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée University, the ENPC (School of Civil Engineering), the LCPC (Civil Engineering Central Laboratory) and ESIEE-Paris (engineering school). This means that these establishments combine forces mainly in the area of research and doctoral schools.

Then a few years ago, we had some friends over for dinner, a couple days after V-day of that year. As usual, we had skipped it. Well, we maybe had gone out to Outback 2 days before and "counted" that. They told us this story about how he had taken her to a gazebo that was special to them that night. He brought his guitar and sang her a song that he wrote for her. In the moonlight. He was grinning. She swooned. And I waited for the sick feeling to come to me...but it didn't. Instead I kept thinking how completely beautiful it was. And how silly I had been insisting that we skip it.
So we celebrate it now. And I look forward to it! Never thought I would say that. To make sure it is always meaningful for us we follow these simple rules:
1. Nothing corny. And nothing pink. - I will also confess that every time I walk by the Valentine's day cards in any store, the pink and red display send my stomach churning. I pretty much still hate it and probably always will. So for us, corny and pink would pretty much kill it.
2. Keep it simple. - We save the "maybe we should try this out" dates for random weekends. Because if it ended up being horrible, I just might go back to my old I hate V-day ways. And no one enjoys high expectations being kicked out from under them...so why set yourself up?
3. Don't be afraid to drop a hint. - As much as I love my husband, sometimes a hint has to be hooked, stringed up, and dropped right in front of his face. But I promise, he appreciates it.
4. Make it personal. - In the spirit of celebrating the holiday's purpose, we like to do something familiar and personal to us. Dinner and a movie may seem like a boring fall back to some, but it is our go-to date that we love, and how we started it all.
What do you like/not like to do for V-day??

#5 - JRL 8427 - JRL Home
MOSCOW, October 25 (RIA Novosti) - The current legal action against the oil major Yukos is going to affect Russia's investment climate, Deputy Economics Minister Andrei Sharonov said at a news conference on the RIA premises Monday.
"The outcome of the Yukos case will affect, this way or another, the investment climate in the Russian Federation," the official pointed out. He noted that Russia's investment climate was important not just in terms of attracting foreign investors, but also in terms of "not scaring off domestic entrepreneurs."
Mr Sharonov also updated the media on Gazprom's plans to make a takeover bid for the oil company Rosneft. There are five banks aspiring to value the deal, all of them foreign, he said, but added that he had no idea of the criteria for selecting the evaluator, nor of the timeframe. He also stopped short of commenting on the recent statement by Alexei Miller, the natural gas giant's chief executive, that the Rosneft takeover deal would be struck by the year's end.
Ivan Materov, Deputy to Russia's Industry and Energy Minister, said earlier that the deal was unlikely to come into effect until mid-2005.
Gazprom has announced that the German bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein will act as a financial advisor for the deal and that it is to value Rosneft's equity and the stake held by the gas major in its subsidiaries.
Gazprom officials have also reported that Deutsche Bank and Citygroup are now conducting separate studies on the planned deal's fairness in terms of its structure and equity evaluation.

If there were one super simple thing you could do for your health, what would it be? Miso Soup! And making it the healthy way (NOT instant miso soup) is as easy as brewing tea.
Miso soup has a very centering and replenishing effect. Try it any time of day and see how it impacts the way you think and feel.
I like it best with dinner since it make me feel nourished, calmed and restored. After a long day, miso soup trumps a glass of wine because it restocks the calming nutrients you used up during the day, such as Magnesium, whereas alcohol will deplete those nutrients even further. Not only do I sleep better, but I also wake up more easily because the soup's nutrients allow the body to detoxify more efficiently. Others prefer miso soup for breakfast, like the Japanese Okinawans, because it can establish a strong sense of stamina and groundedness.
- 2 cups filtered water
- 2-3 teaspoons organic miso paste
- 2-3 square inch piece of kombu
- 1/4 cup bonito flakes
These ingredients are for a standard miso soup recipe, but you can add miso paste and dashi (see below) to anything: puréed vegetables, stews, sauces, dips, etc. Miso is a great salt substitute and adds a delicious "umami" flavor.
Miso paste is produced by fermenting soybeans – a process that creates a beautiful colony of beneficial microbes and neutralizes many of soy's naturally-occuring toxins and anti-nutrients, while preserving its many nutrients. Although traditionally included, I do not add tofu because it's not fermented. If you don't want soy, choose garbanzo or aduki bean miso pastes.
For this soup, I prefer the light, mild miso paste. Dark miso has a stronger flavor and pairs well with red meat. Do not buy cheap, inorganic miso (often used in Japanese restaurants) because it contains no beneficial bacteria and uses genetically-modified soy. My favorite brand is South River, but Miso Master and Westbrae Natural are great too.
Kombu and wakame are sea vegetables used in miso soup. They contain a wonderful source of minerals that encourage calm and a host of other health rewards. Purchase brands that source from uncontaminated waters: Eden and Emerald Cove. I actually use a Kombu-like seaweed from Maine called Digitata.
Bonito flakes are used to create a quick fish stock that makes the soup more nourishing and helps your body assimilate more protein. Miso paste and kombu are the most basic ingredients, so don't worry if you don't want the bonito.
- 1 dried shittake mushroom
- 1 tablespoon dried wakame, soaked in water 5 minutes then rinsed
- 1 small onion, sliced fine or small dice
- 1/2 small carrot, sliced fine or small dice
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated or minced
- 1 small garlic clove, sliced fine or minced
- Sliced scallions for garnish
Simmer kombu, bonito flakes and dried shittake for 10 minutes. If you're at the office, you can steep in hot water, covered for 15 mintues. The kombu and bonito flake broth is called a "dashi."
In your soup bowl. Dissolve the miso paste in a small amount of water so the miso doesn't clump in the soup.
Turn off the heat and allow the dashi to cool to an edible temperature. Strain into your soup bowl that contains the dissolved miso paste. Discard, or save the kombu for cooking beans, the bonito flakes to top a salad and slice the shittakes for a stir-fry. DO NOT BOIL THE MISO because this will kill its beneficial bacteria!
To spice up your soup, sauté onions and carrots for 10 minutes with a little bit of good quality oil and Celtic sea salt. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes (do not brown the garlic). You can slice the rehydrated shittake and add them in as well. Strain the dashi into the pan. Add the soaked wakame. Turn off heat and allow to cool. Pour into your soup bowl. Sprinkle with scallions and enjoy!

Embellishing Tips by North Scituate Decorators to earn Any Space Better
We are imaginative kinds by nature and also love to envision, desire as well as discover, following our instinct. That claimed, there are some harsh principles that assist us to guarantee a fantastic result whenever. They are just attempted and also real points that function. And these typically aren't techniques or abilities that take years to master.
1. Pick the paint shade last.
I obtain telephone calls at all times from home owners who intend to pick a paint shade prior to they relocate. I obtain the logic. Why not show up to wall surfaces with a fresh layer of paint? Obviously you can do it in this manner, yet in my point of view it's not optimal.
There are countless paint shades with various colors, tones and shades. And also each one looks various from the home of home, due to the fact that light sources differ, indicating just what looks great in your current house might not in your brand-new one.
2. Give your furnishings some breathing space.
Stand up to overcrowding a space. Thoughtful living means area to navigate easily. This is really fantastic news if you are dealing with a tight budget. You don't have to fill an area with lots of furniture.
3. Hang art work at the appropriate elevation.
Galleries as well as galleries hang art work to ensure that the midline (center) of each item is 57 inches to 60 inches from the floor. (The ordinary human eye level is 57 inches.) And also you should do the very same.
In an area similar to this, where the ceilings rise, there might be a propensity to hang the art greater. Bear in mind: It needs to relate to human range, not the structure's scale.
4. Know how to organize furnishings on a rug.
There are basically three means you can set up furnishings on your rug.
All on: The rug is big enough to put every one of the furnishings legs on top of it. This produces a much more elegant feel. For this, bigger is better. Simply make certain to leave at least 12 to 18 inches of floor surface on all 4 sides of the carpet's borders.
5. Stand up to the urge to be as well theme-y.
The Cape Cod look is an extremely popular request. You know the characteristics: beadboard, a blue and also white nautical palette, some sailing boat paints.
6. Create a focal point.
There are leading duties and supporting actors members in any production. The same is true in design. Choose your star and make it the prime focus to anchor an area. Enable various other products to take a second function. Don't ask whatever to have a leading function; it will certainly simply result in aesthetic noise.
Your prime focus might be a dramatic hood in the kitchen, a mantel and also art item in the living room or a head board in the room. Whatever it is, select something that will attract interest.
7. Consider sight lines.
Your focal point should be totally free and also clear from one area to the following, to ensure that it seems like you're being drawn in between them. That's why the most effective place for a centerpiece is normally directly throughout from the entryway to the space.
8. Modify your collectibles.
Do not hang on to an item that just does not fit. I uncommitted if your great-aunt Sally offered it to you. If it's not helping you, then discover a brand-new home for it (perhaps in a different area).
9. Differ the range.
What looks excellent in the shop might appear like an elephant in the space when you bring it house. Or it's as well small to be of any importance. Always differ scale and also proportion.
The big sunburst mirror frame fills out the wall surface room well here, while the sand bucks make an intriguing organizing listed below. They would be a lot also trivial separately. Threes and also fives make for more pleasing setups compared to even numbers.
10. Add layers of illumination.
In this cooking area seating location, the backsplash is lit, the art work is highlighted and also the cupboard insides are loaded with light. One central lights fixture would certainly not have had almost the same significant result.
Experts develop layers of lighting to create interest, intrigue and selection. In a space where every little thing is lit evenly, nothing sticks out. Select a centerpiece and also maybe a second centerpiece and highlight those.
11. Be vibrant.
Character is what makes an area fantastic. Make your very own declaration and have a good time. The even more you try, the extra you will certainly begin to see what jobs as well as exactly what doesn't.
Integrate unanticipated elements for dramatization. The unique footrest seats, library-style bookshelves as well as big chandelier below are all unanticipated in a traditional living-room, however the result has charm.
12. Ignore all principles in favor of creative thinking.
Having some guidelines offers people an excellent beginning point for equipping and embellishing their home, also if several of them aren't practical for a particular area.
Go with something individual that makes you smile and also, most importantly, fits. Excessively created spaces do not actually convert in contemporary life. A pillow collection as well as an art arrangement that are seemingly slipshod, as shown below, develop a dressed-down look with plenty of design.
Choose your celebrity and also make it the focal point to anchor a space. Your focal point ought to be totally free and clear from one area to the following, so that it feels like you're being attracted between them. That's why the finest place for a focal point is normally straight across from the entrance to the area.
If it's not functioning for you, after that locate a new residence for it (perhaps in a different area).
What looks excellent in the shop could look like an elephant in the room when you bring it residence.
