The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has opened the new Marina South Wharves (MSW), constructed to complement the existing lighter terminal at Penjuru and to lower operating costs for lighter operators serving ships in the Eastern anchorages.
MPA developed the MSW at a cost of SGD16 million and appointed Jurong Port Pte Ltd, also the operator of the Penjuru Terminal, to operate the newly opened wharf.
MSW is a purpose-built wharf comprising a 100-meter wharf structure and a single-story administration building. It features crane lifting, cargo handling, mooring, and berth facilities to meet the needs of ship suppliers and lighter operators.
"The lighter industry provides a vital service and is an integral part of Maritime Singapore," said Lam Yi Young, chief executive of MPA, at the official opening of MSW yesterday.
He added, "The lighter facilities serve as a conduit for the delivery of critical ship stores and supplies to vessels in the Port of Singapore. MSW will provide quicker access to Singapore's Eastern anchorages and this will allow for cost savings while boosting service levels."
Lighter terminals are used by lighter operators to ferry goods to ships in the anchorages. Lighter operations involve the use of small lighter craft to deliver a wide range of goods to ships, including household items, edibles, medicines, ropes, lubricants, ship machinery, and spare parts.

These are major gateways in your body used to unblock the frozen energy and emotion that have been lingering, causing major pain and disease in your body. Trigger points are one of the only methods that allow your body to truly let it go. This opens the release for metal, energetic, physical and emotional pain to flow out of your flesh. Emotions are connected to your muscular system and emotional release is the final stage in releasing your body truly.

I adore desserts but not the calories! Are you the same? This dessert is just heavenly to eat and presents beautifully! And it is a healthy alternative to many of those high calorie / fat desserts. This recipe is from Prevention. I love all the fresh raspberries and that there is chocolate! Does not get much better! The yogurt mixture also makes it lighter and healthier! It is getting close to Valentine's Day – what a great dessert for that special day!
And it looks so good out of the oven before even adding the toppings!! You can make this dessert ahead of time and then add the toppings when serving. A great dessert to bring to a party! You literally just slice, plate, and top!
Dry Ingredients:
1¾ cup whole grain pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
Yogurt Ingredients:
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Eggs Ingredients:
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
Raspberries Ingredients:
1 cup raspberries
Cocoa Topping Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. hot tap water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Raspberry Topping Ingredients:
¼ cup raspberry all-fruit preserves, melted
½ cup low-fat plain yogurt
Topping Ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9″ x 9″ baking dish with cooking spray and flour.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a larger bowl. Mix the yogurt ingredients together in a small bowl.
Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture until moistened. Then fold in the egg whites until no streaks of white remain.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the raspberries. Bake for 40-minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for about 10-minutes on a cookie rack. If desired, remove from the pan and cool completely.
Mix the cocoa and raspberry topping ingredients in separate bowls. When serving, cut the cake into desired size and top with the raspberry mixture, chocolate sauce, and if desired more fresh raspberries.

CAS Permanent Collection . Peter Coker
Born in London on 27nd July 1926, the son of a businessman Peter Godfrey Coker grew up in Leytonstone where he acquired a love of music from his mother and knowledge of engraving from his maternal grandfather who was a book-edge marbler. At Pettits School, near Havering, where he was a pupil from the age of eleven, he was recognised as a talented young artist by Rogerson, one of his schoolmasters, and Coker went on to study at St Martin's School of Art between 1941-1943. The war obliged him to serve three years in the Royal Air Force, but after military service he returned to St Martin's in 1947, remaining there until 1949-50 when he travelled to France and Italy, and fell under the influence of the nineteenth-century Realist painter, Gustave Courbet (1819-1877).
He attended the Royal College of Art in London ( 1950-1954), was awarded both Royal and British Institution Scholarships (1951-1953) and from 1954-1973 taught painting at St Martin's , subsequently transferring his teaching skills to the City and Guilds of London Art School where he taught from 1973 to 1985. During these years in London he became acquainted with Derek Greaves, John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith, all of them part of a group devoted to scenes of domestic life under the name Kitchen Sink School. Coker became known for his paintings of stylised and bloodless animal carcases which were apparently memory images of a butcher's near his home in Leytonstone, and in 1973 he achieved fame for his exhibits in the major Royal Academy exhibition, Paintings and Drawings of the Butcher's Shop.
He had a number of one-man shows in London and other parts of the country during the 1970s, including four solo exhibitions at the Zwemmer Gallery under the direction of Michael Chase, later Director of the Minories Art Gallery in Colchester. Increasing fame and a growing international reputation increased his public profile when he participated in the famous BBC radio programme The Critics in 1956 and in 1960 he took part in Austrian art forums in Alpbach and Linz.
He was elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1965 and Royal Academician in 1972. He also published a book entitled Etching Techniques in 1976. His work is present in many public collections including the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, the British Museum, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The Victor Batte-Lay Foundation at the Minories owns two of his works: Night, Malham and Mistley (see link below).
Peter Coker, who moved to Manningtree in 1962, was a member of Colchester Art Society from 1959 to 1979. Epping was acquired by Colchester Art Society in 1973 as a donation by the then President, John Nash.
This artist's love of the countryside has resulted in many landscapes and Epping is a particularly impressive example of his heavy impasted style which, in 1958, was interpreted as very personal, even obsessive, when bits of canvas had to be wedged between layers of paint to hold the compositions together. Coker derived this type of paintwork probably from the influence of Nicolas de Stael (1914-1955), a French painter of Russian origin, whose works feature luscious blocks or patches of thick paint, often applied with a knife, followed by Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) and his explosion of paint.
This is one of a series of Epping Forest paintings produced almost obsessively from 1959. The forest was only ten minutes away from Leytonstone where he lived at the time. The darkness seen here creates a feeling of mystery bordering on fear. For an etching on the same subject see the exhibition catalogue "Peter Coker" by Michael Chase: (No 78) Epping Forest, 1971, soft ground and aquatint 18 ¾ x 15 in signed edition 10, exhibited at Thackeray Gallery 1972 (42) and the Royal Academy 1972 (962).

My Ninth Day
I'm freaking out. The prospect of waking up at 7 am tomorrow, after waking up at around 10 am for the entire summer, and working for 5 hours through the breakfast and lunch rushes, does not sound appealing to me.
For those of you who only check this at night, you probably haven't read my eighth day.
First thing when I get in, I see Curly. Just great. After he clocks me in and tells me to mop the back room, I walk past the nice manager from my seventh day. I'll call him Joe. That's his real name, so it shouldn't be too hard to remember. This guy is really nice. He always says hello and is cordial. He asks me if I've been taught how to do something before assigning it to me.
After I mopped up, I went to him to tell me what to do next.
"You know how to close the grill?"
"Well, yeah, a bit."
"So, do you want me to close the grill?"
This was horrible. Earlier today, when I was doing my normal pre-work freak-out, I tried to tell myself that there wasn't anything really bad about closing the grill. I've never been burnt doing it, I don't have to deal with other people, I have an excuse for not doing anything else, and so on. I don't think I can tell myself that anymore.
The only other people in the grill area were the foreigners. There was the girl I mentioned in my last post who doesn't speak English, and the woman who I mentioned in my third day, who I thought was Russian but whose accent sounded almost Italian. I heard her talking today about
So I'm cleaning the grill while those two just sort of lounge around. When it became a little busier, they expected me to drop everything I was doing and help them out. All in all, it took me about an hour and a half to clean the grill.
Right as I'm finishing, I walked back to the grill where Curly is looking over the divider asking who closed the grill.
"I just closed it."
Any reply was lost in the shuffle. I'm sort of glad I didn't have to hear him point out what I screwed up. Maybe he was going to say I did a great job until he found out I had done it.
Right about then, the older guy with no bottom teeth starts his shift. Everybody likes this guy. He knows the ins and outs and he's got a sense of humor. He's been nice to me since I started.
"Did you close this grill?"
"It looks great. Good job."
"Did it take you about an hour?"
"Maybe a little bit more, but I had to do other stuff in between."
"Well why don't you close the other grill now."
2 grills... 1 day. I'm ecstatic. You should see my uniform. It's a casualty of war. By the time I closed the second grill, I only had 15 minutes left.
"Okay, I'm going to test your memory," said the older guy. "Go get 1 box of 10 to 1s, 1 box of 4 to 1s, 2 bags of small chicken, 2 bags of fish, 1 bag of the crispy chicken, and 3 bags of grilled chicken."
Those are the actual numbers. Normally, my memory is terrible, but I could visualize each of those things, so it made it easier. If you can visualize things, it makes it much easier to remember. After some people were impressed that I had quickly memorized the 5 pillars of Islam for an International Relations quiz, they all started using the house technique, which I had just read about earlier that day. You make a visual representation of each thing in a list, and mentally place each thing in a room of your house. Charity, undivided faith, fasting, prayer, and pilgrimage. Oh, at times like these, I look down at my grease covered shoes that I used to wear to the symphony and wonder what I'm doing working at a fast food place.
I don't know much about posttraumatic stress disorder (or hypochondria, for that matter), but no matter how many times I wash my hands, I can't seem to get the smell of the place off them.
Since I've stopped using traffic sites, I'd like to thank everyone who has linked here. I'm getting all my traffic from you guys. You're all on my links, and if you're not, e-mail me. By the way, someone from Australia must love this place, because they've clicked every single entry twice. I'm also the most popular in Virginia. I have dramatically more visitors from VA than any other place.

On Saturday I marked International Women's Day by proudly marching in the name of ending male violence towards women and girls.
In the UK alone, one in four women will experience domestic violence at some point in her life and two women are murdered every week by a partner or ex-partner.
On average, a woman will endure around 35 domestic violence assaults before contacting the police. And yet, one incident of domestic violence is reported every minute. You do the math indeed.
The annual march I attended is organised by the Million Women Rise coalition, which campaigns tirelessly for the right for women to live in a world free of male violence.
And if you don't support that, you might as well stop reading now.
I've marched in the past to protest NHS cuts and have attended pro-Palestine rallies, so I'm at ease with a placard in a throng of people and the tension that sometimes comes with that.
This felt different somehow. It was a beautiful sunny day, possibly the first of the year, and I felt palpably loved and protected, standing shoulder to shoulder with a veritable army of women fighting to make the world a safer place for now and for the future.
We marched through central London accompanied by drum beats, whistles and I'm sure I even heard a vuvuzela. Women young and old chanted and sang. Some pushed babies in pushchairs, some handed out flyers and some simply darted through the crowd offering smiles and support to everyone who had made the effort to come.
But we were all there for the same reason. Because we give a shit - about each other, about the women who couldn't be there, about the women we'll never meet because they've lost their lives to violence and about the unborn women who will take our places long after we're gone.
People gawped and took photos. One man called out "come on girls, give us a dance", but it didn't matter. We were joyful, united and proud to part of something so vitally important.
When we reached Trafalgar Square there was live music, entertainment and speeches. Beer cans and sandwiches appeared, it felt almost like a festival.
I even got to meet one of my personal heroes, Karen Ingala Smith, the chief executive of NIA, a charity which campaigns to end violence against women and children.
Being pro-woman is not a negative or threatening thing. Acceptance of misogyny, violence and rape culture is. And if you limply stand by or acquiesce, you are essentially an apologist for these "qualities".
As the afternoon sun beat down on me I realised that during the march I had felt safer than I have ever felt in my life. And hence I demand the right to live in a world where my relatives, friends and children can experience this priceless feeling too.
That means I will never accept persecution or violence in whatever forms they may lurk, and neither should you.

It wasn't always trouble we got into, though. We had a lot of fun, many adventures and more than a few conversations that were pretty deep for 12 year-old boys. The friend from my story was named Justin. My brother was first to meet Justin, upon moving into the neighborhood, but Justin was my age, so we became fast friends. We didn't necessarily have a lot in common. Justin was excellent at sports. I was excellent at science. Justin loved to fish. I loved to read. He was chubby and strong. I was skinny and scrawny. Somehow, though, we made the friendship work. I have so many wonderful stories from that time of my life, and most of them involve Justin.
One day, Justin and I were walking to Doc's, a local convenience store / truck stop, where we would walk as often as possible to buy soda and chips, when the conversation took a serious turn. We started to talk about God, the devil, Heaven and Hell, life, death and eternity. It was a really weird conversation for us to have stumbled upon. Neither of us were religious. Neither of our families attended church. However, there we were, two pre-teen boys, discussing death and deity. At one point, Justin confessed to me that he was afraid to die. I confidently told him that I wasn't. This wasn't bragging. I was trying to reassure him of something. He asked me why I wasn't afraid, and I told him that I wasn't scared to die, because I knew that I was going to go to Heaven. Again, this was strange, because, as I said, I wasn't a religious person. I didn't go to church. I had no "personal relationship with Jesus." To be honest, if I'd been hit by a bus in that very moment, I don't think that I would have gone to Heaven…and yet, I was certain…as if, in His grace, God was already working in my heart, drawing me toward him, bending my heart toward matters of faith (and He was…) Justin told me that he wanted to be sure that he was going to Heaven, too. He asked me what we needed to do about it. I thought we should go to church. So we did. We made plans to meet that next Sunday and go to church. There was a large church near where we lived, so we walked by on our way home from Doc's (Pringle's and a Blue Nehi, in hand), and checked the sign to see what time the service started.
We got dressed in our nicest clothes, and met on the street outside his house at around 8:30. We walked over to the church, and followed someone in who looked to be about our age, pretending we knew the drill by heart. Nothing could have been further from the truth, though. We had no idea what we were doing. The youth led us into what ended up being a Sunday School class. However, neither my friend nor I knew the difference. We just thought that this was an unconventional church…or perhaps that they didn't let the youngsters participate in the real service - the kind we'd seen on TV. Here's what I assume really happened, though. We arrived too early for the service. After the Sunday School class all those other kids made their way into the service with their parents, but we just left, thinking that was all there was. We'd done it. We'd been to church. It was a triumphant, albeit disappointing experience. There was always a part of me that wanted to go back. I didn't have many friends, and there were a ton of nice kids in that place, but Justin never mentioned wanting to go back again, so I never brought it up either.
Justin died a couple of weeks ago. After a long fought battle, he lost the war to brain cancer, a war he'd been fighting for years. He and I hadn't spoken in about 14 years. His mother contacted mine after the diagnosis and before his first surgery. She wanted to tell us. We'd been such a big part of his life when he was a teenager. And even though we'd gone our separate ways, we still considered each other family. My wife and I contacted his wife, after the surgery. We became Facebook contacts, and asked her to keep us posted and to let us know if there was anything we could do to help. He was vegetative for quite a while, and was never the same after the surgery. The cancer had been too aggressive. They'd had to cut out too much brain. He was never the same man, again. This gentle husband, loving father, hard-working devoted man was forever changed. There did end up being needs, and by God's grace, we were able to help meet some of them, but even after this re-connection, I was never able to speak to Justin again. He and I still hadn't talked since we were teenagers…and now he's died. It's a strange thing when a peer dies. As I get older, it gets more and more common - a harsh reminder of mortality.
As a teenager, Justin had been scared to die. Now he has. I told him that I was certain I was going to go to Heaven, and now, as a Christian, I have even more cause to believe so. It's this belief that causes me to write. I know that there are some who may think this insensitive, but it is my desire that others come to know God that compels me. I've been told that somewhere toward the end Justin embraced faith in Christ, as he was able. Truly, though, there's no way of knowing whether or not he is in Heaven. I only hope that in God's mercy, it is so. I realize that to many this will sound harsh. "He was a good man", they'll argue. "Of course he's in Heaven." However, contrary to popular belief, it's not good men who are admitted through those gates. It is only those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ who end up citizens of His Kingdom. The Bible says that "there are none who do good" "there is none who is righteous - no not one" "surely I was sinful from my mother's womb". And Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me." Then the Apostle Paul writes, "But now a righteousness from God…has been made known…This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
You, too, can be certain of your eternal destiny. You can be assured of citizenship in God's heavenly kingdom. Through faith in Christ, God will forgive you of your sins, obliterating the impenetrable wall that stands between you and He. It doesn't matter what you've done. It doesn't matter who you are. All that matters is that you humbly look to Christ, accepting by faith, the sacrifice he made on your behalf. You don't have to change yourself. You don't have to clean yourself up before you come to Jesus. On the contrary, Jesus is the only one who can clean you up! Come to Him in faith, pray to Him, learn from His Word. He, himself, will change you. He will transform your heart from one of stone to one of flesh, and will grant you admittance into his Kingdom, an eternal home, where you will dwell with Him who saved you, for all time.
The field is on fire. The blaze has been set. This world is temporary. Will you come? Will you come, in faith, to the only One who can douse the flames?

On Thur 6/12 at the St.Clairsville, OH store, I made arrangements for the purchase of a dryer. I forgot my $25-off certificate and made arrangements to make the purchase on Friday 6/13.
On Friday 6/13 the new clerk stated that she had worked there for 13 yrs and that two dryers could not be picked up. I explained that the store mgr on Thur said ok and the extra pickup fee was $20.00.
She called the asst mgr (Alec) and told him she had worked 13 yrs and never heard of a 2 unit pick up. So, the store manager said no. I spoke directly to Alec and he said he did not know who the Manager was the day before and was not going to authorize a two unit pick up.
He refused to call the previous manager, or acknowledge the previous arrangement. So, I went to Sears and gave them my $575.00 of business instead.
Product or Service Mentioned: Sears Manager.
Monetary Loss: $575.

- Dab the sponge lightly into the white paint and gently dab the bottom of your folded card to create the snowy ground. Only create a thin covering of 'snow' so that you can still see some of the original colour showing through. Allow to dry.
- Using your small brush paint black oval shapes. Allow to dry.
- After carefully washing out your brush, paint white tummies on your penguin bodies. Allow to dry. You may need to add another coat of white when dry.
- Using the black felt-tip pen draw little webbed feet on your penguins.
- Gently dip the cotton bud into the white paint, only getting a tiny amount of paint on it. Practise making small dots on a piece of paper first and then make two tiny dots for eyes on each penguin. When these are dry add a black dot in each eye using the black felt-tip pen. Cut tiny orange paper triangles and give each penguin a beak.
- Using very tiny amounts of paint on your cotton bud add random snowflakes. Be careful not to add too many.

We had the wonderful opportunity to have Sister Julie Beck our General Relief Society President come to speak to us on Saturday. It was incredible. I like to say that I'mthe best friend she doesn't know she has. I love how blunt she is. She said some things I will never forget, one of them being.
In a world where most people think everyone owes them something, let me tell you...Nobody owes you anything, but you owe the Lord everything. You signed up for this, you said you could do this, and you can do this. You must do it.
It was just one of the powerful lessons I learned from her. I have set some new goals for myself to change for the better and to not let myself become complacent. It is far too easy to think that we are doing "good enough", I want to be better.

View clinical trials related to Stroke.Filter by:
This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study for subjects with evidence of PSCI.
Invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is highly effective, but involves risks. HS-1000 measures ICP non-invasively by assessing the acoustic properties of the patient's head. HS-1000 device, a proprietary non-invasive ICP monitor, is expected to safely and accurately monitor ICP with minimal discomfort to patients, and provide information about normal or elevated ICP levels to the physicians.
A prospective pilot study to evaluate the recanalization and safety of mechanical thrombectomy through a cerebral angiogram in patients with stroke symptoms last seen normal between 8 - 24 hours.
Autologous human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) stored at Cord Blood Registry will be given to children who have suffered from a Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke. The aim is to determine if hUCB infusion is safe, if late functional outcome is improved, if hUCB treatment improves physiologic response in the child's SSEP & EEG, and the effect of hUCB infusion in altering anatomic findings on MRI.
The past 10 years of research in post stroke patients have shown certain types of rehabilitation can help neuronal plasticity of the brain. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to monitor this plasticity by mapping the brain's function (measuring brain activity). Recent research suggests that TMS can be used for both prognosis (determining future function) and to determine what type of rehabilitation therapy will work best after stroke. The purposes of this research study are to: 1) determine changes in cerebellar activity after motor cortical stroke 2) compare changes in recovery of motor function with changes in cerebellar - motor cortex connections; 3) determine the ability of TMS to "predict" functional outcome after stroke. The primary hypotheses are: 1) functional recovery will be correlated with TMS changes (as measure of motor threshold (MT), intracortical inhibition, cerebellar cerebral inhibition (CBI), motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and recruitment curves; 2) baseline TMS will predict future functional outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to explore the pharmacological mechanism of Danhong injection in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
This research is a Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical study. Chinese subjects with Ischemic Stroke.
Primary Endpoint: The primary objective is to show that AIS patients, ineligible for or refractory to treatment with IV-tPA, with appropriate image selection, treated with mechanical thrombectomy within 6-12 hours of symptom onset have less stroke related disability and improved good functional outcomes as compared to those treated with best MT with respect to endpoint defined as: • 90-day global disability assessed via the modified Rankin score (mRS), analyzed using raw mRS scores. Statistical details can be found in section 7.2. Secondary Endpoints: - 90-day global disability in the 6-12 hr cohort assessed via the overall distribution of mRS - Proportion of patients with good functional recovery for the 6-12 hr cohort as defined by mRS 0-2 at 90 days - Mortality at 30 and 90 days - Intracranial hemorrhage with neurological deterioration (NIHSS worsening >4) within 24 hours of randomization - Procedure related serious adverse events (SAE's) - Arterial revascularization measured by TICI 2b or 3 following device use
The ReStore™ Thrombectomy device restores blood flow in the neurovascular by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke. Patients enrolled in the ReStore Trial will be randomized to treatment with the ReStore™ Thrombectomy Device (investigational treatment) or to treatment with a commercially available thrombectomy device It is expected that the investigational treatment safety profile in terms of clinically significant procedural adverse events will be comparable to the control group.
The primary object of this study is to demonstrate the continued safety and performance of the PFx Closure System when utilized for patients with PFOs suffering from cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, migraine or decompression illness.

I'm going to talk you through two of the best products that I have found in the range that have really helped my skin over the past number of months! First up is my cleansing gel, the Physiological Cleansing Gel that has La Roche-Posay's thermal spring water in it! It's a cleansing gel that you use with luke warm water! A few pumps into your hand and massage it into damp skin to get the full effect of the cleansing! It leaves you feeling fresh and your skin feeling squeaky clean!
Next is my daily moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume which comes in two different tubes, the first image you see is just the updated version of the second image which can now be used on babies!! Both are fantastic for keeping the skin moisturised and keep it feeling silky smooth, although I would give the moisturiser a good time to set in before applying makeup in the morning as I found that it can be a bit oily on the skin!! The best thing I found about this product was that it contains high levels of a skin repairing ingredients which I found brilliant for my skin because as I suffer from severely bad eczema I sometimes find it hard to get my skin looking smooth and flawless when I apply my makeup! However, since I started using Cicaplast I've had no problems!
Now, as I am purely a makeup artist and I wouldn't have the best knowledge on the inner workings of skincare products, I always look for something that shows me the results I want from a cleanser and moisturiser and thats exactly what these products do! They do exactly what they say they do, my skin feels fresh and generally looks in good condition since I started using these La Roche-Posay products! In fact, I would go so-far to say that I have a lot more confidence in myself since I started using them, because my skin has improved and I am actually seeing the benefit and results from the skincare, and thats exactly what you want!
Now, these are just two of the products that I'm using right now, they're perfect for my skin but La Roche-Posay has a massive range of products and the girls who work there are brilliant and will really help find something for everyones skin type! This is the perfect brand for us sensitive skin girls and they really cater to everyones needs! The price is a little bit on the high end but when it's your skin we're talking about, you really need to invest in products because our skin is so important! And I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the results you see....
Has anyone else used La Roche-Posay products?? What do you think of them??
Thanks for reading!

California Compliance
Posting Requirements
The state of California requires that all employers must post a notice of their Workers' Compensation carrier alongside their labor poster and other required postings.
This notice is usually supplied with the Workers' Compensation policy, titled "Posting Notice," and has the following information:
Failure to display this notice in a prominent place can result in a misdemeanor offense and a penalty assessment order with fines of $1,500 per employee.
If you receive a penalty assessment, you have 15 days to contest the violation in writing. The instructions are on the back of the citation.
You must post the "Notice to Employees" poster in a conspicuous place at the work site. This poster provides employees with information on your workers' compensation coverage and where to get medical care for work injuries. Specific requirements are contained in sections 3550-3553 of the California Labor Code. Failure to post this notice is a misdemeanor that can result in a civil penalty of up to $7,000 per violation. You must also provide newly hired employees with a workers' compensation pamphlet explaining their rights and responsibilities. (spanish version here)

Cricket Live Foundation - Update: January/February 2014
It was incredibly exciting to head to Sri Lanka knowing that by the time I left the first Cricket Education and Development Centre would be up and running. It would be a collaborative venture between the Cricket Live Foundation and the MJF Foundation.
The MJF Foundation was established by Mr. Merrill Fernando of Dilmah Tea to provide assistance to families of his workers. Since then, it has developed into an amazing organisation that undertakes a large array of activities around the country.
For the first few weeks we focused on Coach Education and Development. 3 coaches from New Zealand and Australia came over to run the Coach Education Clinic, putting 15 local coaches through an intensive course, both theoretical and practical.
It was a very special moment when our first group of children arrived and put on their CLF uniforms. For many of them this uniform is the first thing they have ever been able to call their own.
The first program runs until the end of April. The second starts in August. August will be a busy time for us, as we are planning to open two more centres. These will be based at Government Schools currently lacking decent facilities. We'll supply cricket nets and where necessary a classroom-cum-pavilion.
We invited the parents of our first children to a Q&A session at which we outlined the CLF vision and purpose. The parents were most grateful for what has already been achieved.
As with all ventures we'll face challenges. But I take heart and inspiration from the words of Merrill Fernando. "We come into this world with nothing and we leave with nothing. The wealth some of us acquire is owed to the efforts and cooperation of many others around us. Let us therefore share that wealth, while we are still around, so that the goodwill and contentment created thereby, may make our world a happier place for others too."
For more information about what the Cricket Live Foundation is doing, or if you want to get involved, please email Alex Reese – email@example.com.
The Willows Cricket Club president, The Hon. Sir John Hansen, is delighted to announce that the club's ground in Loburn will now be known as Jaguar Oval. This forms part of a new and exciting sponsorship arrangement with Archibald Motor Group, the authorised agents for Jaguar in Christchurch.
The Willows Cricket Club's ambition is to provide high-school first eleven teams the opportunity to play with and against experienced players, many of whom are present or past, first class cricketers. The aim is for them first and foremost to enjoy the game but to also learn, watch and appreciate how cricket should be played.
Archibalds' managing director John Fairhall says the company's decision to be a sponsor of The Willows Cricket Club is an extension of Jaguar and Archibalds' on-going commitment to New Zealand schools and youth.
"It's all about furthering our support of our local community and continuing the interest we have in youth development", says Mr Fairhall. "We view The Willows Cricket Club's commitment to youth development as invaluable and so as an organisation we are very proud to assist them.
"The Jaguar Academy of Sport in Britain celebrates and inspires the next generation of sporting heroes by giving them the opportunity to work with and learn from the best sportsmen and women. We therefore see the Willows Cricket Club partnership as a great extension of this initiative," says Fairhall.
The sponsorship arrangement will underpin the club's Youth Development tours to Sri Lanka and India. These tours provide a wonderful opportunity for selected school first eleven players to play cricket overseas and they return to New Zealand with their horizons widened and a greater understanding of different cultures and so they will be able to contribute more within their own communities.
After the announcement, new ground signage was unveiled on Sunday 23 February during the match between The Willows and St Andrew's College 1st XI. Club members and players were also able to view some of the latest Jaguars during the tea break.
The biennial youth dinner held recently at St Andrew's College was a most successful evening. Over 240 First Eleven players and coaches from colleges from Wanganui to Dunedin, along with a sprinkling of Willowers, came together in fellowship and social interaction.
Sir Graham Henry was the main speaker and in his typically laconic and relaxed way he soon had the audience enthralled as he shared insights about his days as a Headmaster and All Blacks Coach. Messages about how he got the best from his players made for compelling listening.
This was preceded by a panel debate on the life of a sportsman in the professional era. Here Andy Ellis (All Black) and the New Zealand cricketers Matthew Bell and Andrew Ellis, under the guide of m/c Malcolm Ellis, shared their views.
As is customary on such occasions we were entertained superbly by three highly talented musicians from St. Andrew's College. Throughout the evening we also had quality student oratory. Pride of place went to Jack Boyle, captain of the St. Bede's College 1st X1, who gave an appropriate vote of thanks to the guest speakers.
Again, The Willows owes a huge debt of gratitude to Mrs Christine Leighton and her superb catering department for their part in hosting this important social function.

THE ART OF Wicketkeeping
One of the great servants of Karori, Wellington and New Zealand cricket, Mike Curtis, is being honoured this week.
Curtis, who is in struggling health, has written The Art of Wicketkeeping, which was launched at the Karori Cricket Club on Tuesday. I have seen literally thousands of cricket books, but never one devoted specifically to the technique of wicketkeeping, which is strange, considering every cricket team must contain a keeper.
Curtis, a stalwart of the Karori club, kept for Wellington from 1956-59 and went within a whisker of making John Reid's 1958 New Zealand team to England. He played in the North v South trial match that season, during which he took a record eight catches, and scored 22 not out (top score) and 27. Even that virtuoso effort was not enough – he missed out to the emerging John Ward in the role of No 1 keeper Eric Petrie's back-up on the big tour.
Curtis had a habit of marking the special occasion with a particularly good performance.
In 1956, playing for Wellington against Jack Phillipps' XI (really the famous 1949 New Zealand team), he scored 45 not out, caught Merv Wallace and stumped Geoff Rabone. His final first-class match was against the MCC in 1959 – Tom Graveney, Colin Cowdrey, Ted Dexter, Fred Trueman, Frank Tyson, Tony Lock and company. Curtis rounded out his first-class career by dismissing Raman Subba Row and Graveney.
Apart from his distinguished first-class career, Curtis has contributed as a cricket administrator and coach.
I know when I coached Wellington junior representative teams, and even schoolboy club teams, he has always been not just willing but eager to attend practice to help the wicketkeepers. Like the front row in rugby, wicketkeeping is a bit of a mystery to those who haven't done it regularly, and his specialist advice was always gratefully received.
Curtis has been a long-serving Wellington senior and New Zealand age group selector, and a wicketkeeping coach for New Zealand Cricket.
On the local scene, he was one of those primarily responsible for the re-emergence of Karori as a force in Wellington cricket.
His book, which has been published through the good graces of the Willows Cricket Club in Christchurch, is an especially attractive effort, full of colour photos and sensible advice, and I can imagine it being in demand throughout the world because of the scarcity of good coaching for wicketkeepers.
The book can be purchased from

|Serving size: 1 veg caps
|Daily dose: 2 veg caps
|Daily amount
|NAC (N-acetylcysteine) (free form)
|Ingredients: Emulsifiers: E460 Vegetable cellulose, Anti-caking agents: E572 Vegetable magnesium stearate, E551 Silica
How to take NAC (N-ACETYL-L-CYSTEINE) 600mg - 120 caps:As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules a day, preferably with a meal, or under medical prescription.
- Antiaging effect, fight the signs of aging
- Great antioxidant action
- Involved in the synthesis of glutathione
- Supports liver health
What is NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine)?
NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) of Solgar is a product made from N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a more stable form of the amino acid L-cysteine, which helps the body synthesize glutathione.
What are the properties of NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine)?
The main property of NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) is to help elevate glutathione levels. Glutathione has a number of characteristics to mitigate the harmful action exerted by free radicals on the cells that make up the tissues of our body.
Oxidative stress caused by free radicals can contribute to the premature aging of cells. Free radicals negatively affect the metabolism of lipids, proteins and DNA, thus triggering a series of human diseases, as well as premature aging, which is reflected in the appearance of blemishes on the skin, and a general deterioration of the complexion.
These substances are generated as a result of reactions that take place inside us, and they may also originate from the interaction with external agents, such as excessive exposure to the sun, environments with a high concentration of toxins, smoking, or even some food. High intensity physical exercise also promotes the generation of free radicals.
Among the benefits offered by NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) is its hepatoprotective capacity, and the detoxifying action on the organism, against heavy metals such as mercury, lead or cadmium.
Who is this NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) supplement for?
- Athletes and/or Sportspeople looking to reduce the amount of free radicals that are produced as a result of physical exercise.
- Anyone looking to increase the quality and maintenance of their health, especially if exposed to certain pollutants, toxic environments, or intense sun exposure, among others. Also if the person is a smoker, or drinks alcohol regularly.

To study the interaction of amniotic membrane and pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), in both fresh and preserved states.
Amniotic membrane grafts were obtained from placenta following caesarean section delivery from healthy mothers who had been consented prior to the operation. Sixteen square-inch pieces of amniotic membrane were prepared and frozen at -20oC in a 50/50 mixture of Glycerol/Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, penicillin-streptomycin and L-Glutamine. Eight pieces of amniotic membrane were stored for 1 week and eight for 3 months. After the respective storage times, they were defrosted and incubated in a multiwell plate for 24 hours in 5% CO2 at 37 degrees Celsius with 1000pg/mL, 500pg/mL, 250pg/mL and 125pg/mL of recombinant human TNFα or IL6. Corresponding wells without tissue were set up as controls. After 24 hours, we measured the residual concentration of the cytokines in the supernatant solutions by using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.
There was a significant reduction in the concentration of both IL6 and TNFα with fresh and preserved samples of amniotic membrane, when compared to controls. For IL6, there was a mean decrease of 70.6% in the amniotic membrane group compared with 56.2% in the control group (p<0.05). For TNFα, there was a mean decrease of 78.4% in the amniotic membrane group compared with 36.8% in the control group (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in this reduction between fresh and preserved samples of amniotic membrane.
Both fresh and preserved amniotic membrane grafts absorb IL6 and TNFα, which are known to be potent pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in ocular surface disease. Other studies have previously shown that amniotic membrane reduces inflammation through the sequestration of inflammatory cells and through reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins. The anti-inflammatory effect of amniotic membrane is probably multi-factorial and further studies are required to investigate the mechanisms thereof.

I recently came across a query about who is responsible for paying for food for a support worker when out and about with the person/s they support.
Is it the responsibility of the person being supported to buy lunch for their support worker or does the responsibility lay with the organisation or individual who provides the support?
Apparently for some it is company policy for the supported person to pay these expenses, even though the person may lack capacity. The mental capacity act 2005 section 7 and 8 does not cover the practice above seemingly leaving this particular issue open to interpretation.
Some organisations that provide support deem that the client is to pay as long as the cost of the food for the support worker is less than the cost of their own! This seems a rather random stance to take which avoids the crux of the matter… if a company provides support, and if that support requires going to café's etc. to develop social skills some believe the company ought to foot the bill., unless the support worker is employed directly by the client, in which case it is deemed appropriate for the client to pay. As to the legislation it too is not straightforward. If the individual doesn't have the ability to consent, then how is buying a staff member lunch in their best interests. Would it be considered as financial abuse?
If a company is getting paid to support an individual is not the cost of expenses factored in ? It has been mooted that the organisations that provide support make a big profit from individuals with learning disabilities who buy into their services and that as such the service provider should foot the bill for staff expenses incurred while out and about.
I have been given to believe that councils do not normally pay providers for the associated costs incurred whilst supporting someone. One view is that as the person who requires support is in receipt of disability benefits the costs ought to funded out of this; however, if they are already paying for the support is it right for them to also cover the cost of any associated costs of being out an about? And what about the care plan? Surely if these situations are in the care plan they would also be taken into account when any financial assessment is carried out for social services care.
So then, options:
- Service user pays for lunch
- Support worker pays for lunch
- Care provider (company) pays for lunch
What do you think? Who do you think is responsible for paying for lunch in these situations? I would be very interested to hear your views on this somewhat confusing topic!

In For A Penny, In for A Pound
16.1.14 Adaptation , Literature , Penny Dreadful , Trailers , TV , Wold Newton Edit
I like covering the build up towards the premiere of Penny Dreadful, because I get to see how many "penny" and/or "dreadful" puns I can come up with for article titles (note: they are all dreadful).
Anyway, there is a new teaser out for the series, and an image of the cast which I've included after the jump. It's important to point out, I feel, that despite the "psychosexual horror series" promising to "weave together the origins of literary horror characters" in Victorian London, none of the main cast are themselves playing public domain characters, which will hopefully separate it from the likes of NBC's horrible Dracula, or FOX's Sleepy Hollow or intended League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Personally, what I'm looking most forward to is Timothy Dalton playing a Big Game Hunter (ask me one-on-one, and I might admit that Dalton is my favourite Bond, but I'd never say such a thing in public - what? Oh sh...). The rest just looks like good fun.
Good, bloody, nuded-up Victorian fun.

A recent Sundt project turned an unused warehouse in central Tucson into new administrative offices for Habitat for Humanity Tucson. Over the course of several months, the 15,950-square-foot building was completely gutted, renovated and turned into modern office space for approximately 15 employees.
"This was an important community project because the building was becoming an eyesore, with overgrown plants, faded paint, broken asphalt, etc., but it became an attractive feature of the neighborhood," said Sundt Project Superintendent Josh Geis. "Sundt performed the project at a reduced rate – enough to cover our own equipment and materials costs – as did most of the subcontractors."
The project's design, created by DKP Architecture & Consulting, preserved several of the building's more industrial features, such as exposed ductwork and concrete floors, which Sundt ground and polished. New amenities included a state-of-the-art heating, ventilation and air conditioning system as well as additional windows to let in more natural light. The building's landscaping makes use of native and desert-adapted species and rain-water harvesting technology to cut down on potable water use.
Habitat for Humanity is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing.
