Corporate Profile
Corporate Profile
Hang Lung Group Limited (stock code: 10) is one of the most well-established listed companies in Hong Kong with more than 50 years of experience in the property development market. Through its subsidiary, Hang Lung Properties Limited (stock code: 101), the Group has built a high reputation as a top tier property developer in Hong Kong and for building, owning and managing world-class commercial complexes in key cities on the Mainland.
The Group was founded on September 13, 1960, by Mr. Chan Tseng-Hsi and soon progressed to become one of the largest real estate developers in Hong Kong. Since its founding, the Group has strictly adhered to the highest levels of corporate governance and is justly regarded as one of the best run companies in Hong Kong. In a study conducted in November 2009 by the Hong Kong Institute of Directors together with a local university on the governance of 146 publicly listed companies, the Group was the only real estate firm among the 10 best.
For its first 32 years, the Group operated almost exclusively in Hong Kong. It gained prominence by developing some of the biggest residential complexes along the Mass Transit Railway. In the early 1980s, the Hong Kong market temporarily collapsed over uncertainty surrounding the territory's sovereignty. However thanks to prudent and sound management, Hang Lung weathered the storm, although, as the current Chairman would later point out, the Group had "gone to sleep" during this period. At present, the Group's businesses in Hong Kong include property development for sale and lease, with a diversified portfolio of investment properties ranging from retail, office, residential and serviced apartment developments to industrial/office complexes, all in prominent locations.
On January 1, 1991, Mr. Ronnie C. Chan took over as Chairman of the Group and foresaw the golden opportunities presented by the Mainland's dynamic economic growth. It was under his visionary leadership that the Group embarked upon its new direction by venturing into the Mainland market. With a judicious focus on commercial real estates and targeting "the best locations in major populated centers", the Group took its first steps into the Mainland in Shanghai in 1992 with two landmark properties, Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66.
Riding on the success of the Shanghai projects, the Group embarked on its unique strategy of building and managing world-class commercial complexes by acquiring large sites in heavily populated urban areas, cooperating only with top architectural firms, incorporating the latest sustainable features and providing superb management. The Group's footprint has expanded to Shenyang, Jinan, Wuxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Kunming and Wuhan, with all the Mainland projects carrying the "66" brand. In May 2018, Hang Lung won an auction for a prime plot of land in Hangzhou, marking the Company' s expansion to the ninth Mainland city.
With its successful presence on the Mainland and upholding an appropriate corporate culture first established by its founder, allied with good
corporate governance
under an excellent leadership of
Board of Directors
and a superb and dedicated
management team
, the Group is well-positioned to enter what Chairman Ronnie C. Chan describes as its "Golden Era" . It will continue to expand its presence with the goal of becoming the highly admired mega national commercial property enterprise in the market.

It was over two years since Newcastle last netted from a corner, but the lads did that after only two minutes yesterday, as a perfectly flighted corner from Yohan Cabaye, somehow sneaked through the Norwich defense, and that man Loic Remy was at the far post to head the ball high into the net, and score his 8th goal for Newcastle this season.
Loic Remy shields the ball from Michael Turner yesterday
Demba Ba last scored from a corner set play at Wolves on 1st October, back in 2011, and Loic had no idea of that statistic – although we have to assume that when the lads have been practicing their set plays, that stat must have been mentioned?
Loic talked on the Newcastle web-site immediately after the game, and when told by Anthony Marshall that was the first goal from a corner for two years he had this to say:
"I'm surprised to learn that," "We should be able to score many goals from corners as we have some big lads in the team and good players."
"I'm happy to have done it and to have scored for the team. It means we have won the game and hopefully we will be able to score more from corners now."
"It was a really important win," "We had to keep up the momentum that we have picked up recently." "Scoring early was what we needed to do."
"The manager told us to get off to a good start, we went out there, scored the goals and should have added more to it." "A few of us were a little bit tired, coming back from international duty."
"Especially myself – so it was tough in the second half, but we managed to keep our noses in front."
Remy and the other three French players in the French squad that qualified For the World Cup in Europe were not tired just because of playing – although Yohan Cabaye was the Man of the Match against Ukraine, and could have been physically tired.
But it was the emotional drain on the players, after going through that massive high of coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the first leg and doing what they had to do to qualify, when it seemed the whole of France was watching.
But the lads will all be rested – both physically and emotionally for next Saturday;s home game against West Brom.
May be the lads can put in a top performance in that game and win the 4th league game in a row?
Hope so.

Was good to finally get the monkey off our back with a goal from the corner. Was a good ball in as well.
I think we are playing really well at the moment, luck may be on our side with a couple of things by when playing decent football and winning you don't notice the things that go against you as much, you make your own luck.
I think we should beat west brom but again this is not a given and we need to work hard.
My only criticism of yesterday is easing off in te second half, not pressing with the same intensity and conceding possession too easily but always happens when shola goes off as we lose our outball.
We need to keep pressing high as we did in the first half and find a way to close a game without shola as pardew said he struggles to make 90mins, so we must find a way to deal with him going off.
But recently players have not only been playing well but all worked hard and playing as a team, that's key.
It shows more that clubs don't do enough research. The players Norwich bought are decent but with a whole new strike force it takes time to adapt.
we buy decent players but if we got a couple more of them, not loads, just one or two to replace the likes of marvoux/obertan, we could kick on, but we have a pretty decent squad as well as a good second team.
Raylor, Taylor, colo, haidara
Anita, bigi, Marv
HBA, cisse, Sammy
Then our current starting 11 from the spurs and Chelsea game.
Debuchy, willo, mbiwa, santon
Sissoko, Cabaye, tiote, gouff
Shola, remy
"Run along now…" seems like you've been taken lessons in communication from TDSarf. I do look forward to your nonsensical exclusives in January. The ITKs will be back in force now it is getting closer to January.
Very good result, terrible second half performance. Ball retention was non-existent, and I do wonder why we are still a 1 half team. A few of our internationals were pretty tired though but it would appear that our set-up was to defend for 45 minutes, which is worrying.
However, it is Pardew after all. When all is said and done, we did come out of it with 3 points which is great, if we can manage another 3 points next weekend we will be around and about where a club of our stature should be.
So the players were tired after returning from International duty do I take it that no Chelsea player was on International duty last week, they came out in the second half looking for more goals.
No really successful team takes their foot off the gas and try to coast, accidents happen. We were defending so deep Krul ordered the pints in the Strawberry Pub and Colo was seen washing glasses.
If we were riding on instruction shame on Pardew, if we were not shame on the players. The best form of defence has always been attack. Sorry if Norwich came out to try to win the game or at least get something from it which they nearly did but isn't that the game both teams want to win or am I wrong.
I am not taking anything away from the 3 points and the 3 successive wins which are great but we will only remain in the top half if we look for goals in each half of the game and not try to contain teams in the second half.
Containing the better teams in the first half can be a shrewd tactic, I do not count Norwich as one of the better teams, as you do have time to come back at them, but in the second half, a slip, a penalty, a ricochette we have all see it happen.

Ah ha! So swemag, we will be successful by doing things differently to other clubs. Now I understand.
We're gonna be successful by not spending significantly, nit-picking over fees and players wages to propel us into the realms of the big and highly successfully clubs.
Yup, it all makes sense now
We need to treat the Baggies as a top side like Chelski and play with the same level of commitment as the London sides – for two halves.
The internationals who had had competitive games last week did look tired – the friendly internationals had nothing hanging on them so less commitment needed and given.
I think this did affect our second half performance yesterday. It looked more mental than anything as the drive was missing to really see them off – prettty much what Thump has said – the adrenalin wasn't pumping very hard. I'm not sure Colo is a leader on the pitch either and can drive them the last half hour when the opposition are pressing a bit more.
We are inconsistent, we are a mid table side with no 'right' to be top 8 unless we earn it and WBA have taught us a few lessons in recent years so we need to be at the very top of our game next weekend. Pardew knows it's a problem but I think his natural caution actually feeds it at times.
TS & Charlie
We have good quality players and good youngsters coming in as well. I think the club have good policy to make space for youngsters to get into 1st team, if the club bought 4 or 5 players during summers that is the same killing the chance for players like Bigi, Dummet, Vuckic, Campbell, Sammy. Now we have good fitness coach Faye Downey, less injuries in training and the players perform way better. You are right about Ober and Marv, I don't think being in this club will be good for them or the club. I could see them going in January, probably bringing in one or two more players or just upgrade our youngsters.
Ciaran – I like your posts and I read your blog BUT you are starting to turn into the Blog Bully. Alright TDSarf has views opposite to you but he is entitled to them and to suggest he works for the PR department of SD is quite frankly ridiculous. Likewise Torq has said many times his work involves him with football and he simply passes on any snippets of imformation he hears. He has never claimed to be an ITK and writes some interesting posts – so why the bully boy tactics?
My point is the anti-Pardew lot criticise him when he makes defensive substitutions and criticise him when he makes attacking ones.
According to some on here everything that goes wrong his fault and everything that goes right is luck or nothing to do with him.
The classic is he was lucky to finish 5th but all his fault we nearly got relegated.
We have a better squad then last year. There's no denying that. If we become a side that loans players in every year and waiting until a bargain comes up before why buy someone then that's fair enough. However I feel like Pardew or Joe needs to tell us this, just so we don't get our hopes up.
I do wonder though if we had of brought in an actual signing along with Remy on loan that we may have been higher than we currently are. Nonetheless our team are playing so outstanding that the new signing may have just been on the bench alongside two of our best players Ben-Arfa and Collocini. So it may have just not made a different.
Our biggest difference between this year and last year is Faye. The players look a lot sharper and considering our injury record was worst in the league last year, we have greatly improved.
I think we lost a bit of our ball-holding when both Shola and Cabaye went off knackered – although you could see Cabaye flagging as the errors and misplaced passes began to creep inb.
Surprised nobody's mentioned the song after our opening goal – "scored from a corner, we've only scored from a corner" – brilliant!
Feel so sorry for cisse. He came on nd he was class. Unlucky with the offside. Hope he starts against west brom. With sholas passing u could put him behind a striker. Some might disagree but he has wonderful vison to pick out a pass. Its what cisse and remy both need to score goals.
I was expecting a draw yesterday. But we were really good 1st half u could tell alot of international players we very tired. Even though cabaye didnt play well yesterday i felt when he went off we lacked alot in the midfield.
So….the transfer window aint far off. I think colo is going home. Like he wants too. But we definatly need 1 striker. I think cisse is on his way back to form. If theres any betting men for next week tip cisse for the 1st goal.
I don't think we made defensive changes, but I do think we dropped off a bit (also Norwich will push on as well as they need to get back into it) so it's not just pardew.
I do think it's a problem we have, whether it's the managers plan or players get complacent and think the job is done, and don't press on. We still created a couple decent chances in the second half and cisse had a good chance with a header and the offside was wrong so if they go in it looks better.
It is a small problem that needs addressing but people seem to think we have control on every game, we don't. 2 teams play so there's every chance the other side can come into the game an try to fight back when losing.
I'm sure some forget that at times.
You used to be entertaining.
Anyway, just noticed the club PR/Liaison Officer doing what he does best – lying. Michael Martin wrote an article about the questions posed to the club, which all of you can find here.
Lee Marshall then took to twitter to say that he did not receive the questions. Lee Marshall did not receive the questions because he deliberately made himself unavailable to receive them despite knowing that a group of fans were coming up at 1pm to give them to him.
Disappointing when you have a liaison officer who will stop at nothing to try and undermine the very fans he is supposed to represent.
@bills-son: He wasn't lucky to finish 5th but I would argue that he was very much to blame for last season. When we were found out and teams knew how to score almost at will against us, he did nothing to mix it up, no tactical surprise – nada. Maybe he was just completely out of ideas but at that stage he needs to be a big enough man to say "I've got it wrong. I got us into this and I'll get us out of it." rather than spouting the same old, too tired excuses that we heard so often.

On October 1, 1960, 54 years ago, Nigeria gained independence from the United Kingdom. 54 years later, despite the challenges and issues Nigeria has faced we are tackling those obstacles and still have remained one nation.
When I was younger, I never really appreciated my culture. Going to the Nigerian parties with my family and dance… dance… dancing until the wee hours of the morning just seemed like something to do. But I never understood, why? Now that I'm older, I could not be more proud to be Nigerian. I could not be more appreciative to know my families history, my Nigerian history, and to be able to walk the sandy roads of the exact village my family is from. Which not a lot of people could say. Nigeria is so rich in culture, heritage, artifacts and landscapes and for that very reason, I use every chance I get to learn something new about my culture esp. on Independence day; whether it is talking to my parents, a fellow Nigerian, attending events or even reading books. The more I learn about the history, the people, the languages, the traditions, and the music the more I can say I whole-heartedly love my culture.
I know that every good has its bad and every country has its problems. I also know that many people will disagree when saying Nigeria is 54 years strong but I'm using our Independence day to focus on the positivity, the things that we have overcome and the things that we are working towards to progress and improve Nigeria's future. I only pray that these next years we excel and it brings more growth, peace, and unity to our nation.
I had the pleasure of being in NYC to experience the Nigerian Independence Day Parade and what amazingness that was! I was so happy to be around my fellow Nigerians, dance until my feet hurt and eat my favorite Nigerian meals that I missed so much. Whether you're Nigerian or not, it is definitely an event worth attending!
What I wore:
I made a 3/4″ crop top with a matching two-tone skort (skirt with shorts). Paired with destroyed tights, camel colored booties and was forced to wear my leather jacket since it was cold.

FAQs on Stellate Ganglion Block in Nashville TN
The stellate ganglion is a group of nerves positioned on either side of the voice box (larynx). The stellate ganglion block is an injection of anesthetic agent around the nerve tissue that supplies the head, neck, arms, and upper chest. This block increases blood supply to the arm and relieves pain associated with the upper body.
Why is the stellate ganglion block done?
The stellate ganglion block is done to treat neuropathic pain. Conditions treated with this block include complex regional pain syndrome, herpes zoster, and sympathetic pain. The injection is used to block the sympathetic nerve impulse and block swelling and pain. The stellate ganglion block will produce one of three outcomes:
- The pain will not leave, and there will be evidence of a sympathetic block.
- The pain will not leave, and there will be not evidence of sympathetic block.
- The pain will go away and stay away.
How is the stellate ganglion block performed?
The nurse will first assess the temperature of both arms by placing sensing-pads on the extremities. In addition, an IV catheter will be placed in your arm to give you a mild sedative to minimize discomfort. You will be positioned on your back, and the nurse will cleanse the front of your neck with an antiseptic solution. The skin and deeper tissues are numbed with a local anesthetic, which is given at the side of the neck. The doctor then inserts the block needle using x-ray guidance and injects a long-acting anesthetic close to the stellate ganglion nerves.
What happens after the injection?
Immediately after the stellate ganglion block injection, you may feel warmth in your arm or leg on the injected side. In addition, you will notice that the pain is decreased or eliminated. Other side effects include hoarseness, redness of the eye, and droopy eyelid. These symptoms are only temporary and will resolve in a few hours. During the recovery, a nurse will monitor your condition. You will be released home and can return to work the next day.
How long does the effects of the medication last?
The local anesthetic wears off within only a few hours, but the duration of pain relief will increase in length with each addition injection you receive. You may need to have 2-4 injections to achieve optimal results.
What are the risks and complications of the stellate ganglion block?
The stellate ganglion block is a safe and effective procedure, but there are some risks involved. These include infection, bleeding, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and blood vessel damage.
Who is not a candidate for this procedure?
The stellate ganglion block does not work for everyone. People who are not candidates for this procedure include:
- Individuals with an active infection
- Anyone allergic to anesthetics
- Persons on Heparin, Coumadin, or other blood-thinning medicines
What is the success rate of the stellate ganglion block?
In a 2009 study, the stellate ganglion block proved 100% successful for improvement of wrist range of motion. According to recent clinical studies involving patients with CRPS, the success rate is around 76%. In one study, more than 40% of patients reported complete symptom relief after the block. The effectiveness of this injection depends on the duration of symptoms, with a higher efficacy rate for those who have had symptoms for less than 4 months.

Noble Hops
The term Noble Hops referrs to four low-acid, high aroma varieties that orignated in central
Europe. These are : Tettnanger, Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Spalter, and Saaz. Their particular
aromatic properties are the backbone for the traditional aroma and flavor of many classic styles
including Pilsener, Dunkel, and Oktoberfest/Märzen.
While the origins of the phrase "Noble Hops" is not known, it is likely that these varieties where termed this way due to their long history of use that has defined many classic and wonderful European styles and brands.
Like wine grapes, hops take on the various characteristics imparted by their geographic growing regions. This is known in winemaking as 'terroir' - a term which could rightly be applied for these hop classifications. For official purposes, the term "Noble hops" can only be applied to these four varieties when they where grown in their original location. For example, Tettnanger originated a small town in southern Baden-Württemberg Germany called Tettnang.
You may hear the English Fuggle and East Kent Golding referred to as Noble Hops. They share many characteristics with the four 'true' Noble Hops, and are the backbone of several longstanding beer styles. However, technically speaking, they are not truly Noble Hops.
Due to the pressures of land usage in their native growing region, as well as various hopyard pests, the supply of true Noble Hops is decreasing. Growers have responded by producing hybrid varities such as the Liberty hop, which is mating of Hallertauer Mittlefruh with a disease-resistant US cultivar. Mt. Hood is another example of a higher acid hop (5 to 8%) hybrid.
Typical Use : Usually Aroma/Dry Hopping, but certainly in smaller AAA beers for all stages
Alpha Acid : about 2 to 7% AAU
Origination : Europe
Commercial Examples : Pilsner Urquell, various Hefeweizens, lots of European, classic beers.
Characteristics : Clean, Flowery, "Refined"
Styles : Pilsener, Dunkel, Oktoberfest/Märzen, Weizen, some Belgians, and many other classic European styles.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical examination consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be checked in numerous ways. The patient might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased significantly.
It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the patient and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a temporary or possible permanent loss of this important sense. When restorative procedures are looked for, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, try here the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals must know. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgery has you could try these out ended up being well accepted is since most of its cases had succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of individuals state that the operation can be very risky.
Simply puts, a simple mistake could practically cause an person's life time blindness. Hence, it is very important to consider many factors before deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily suggest that it can offer you a ideal vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have perfect vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the method many people see it
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. It must be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the physician and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.
2 Components Individuals Do Certainly Not Recognize Dealing With LASIK Eye Medical Procedure
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical examination consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.

Hey, I'm having a party, B.Y.O.R.—bring your own radiopoppers. Man, these little devils are fun and essential for anyone shooting wireless flash. You can trigger all your party lights wirelessly without a glitch. I went to town with a JrX BASIC KIT; simply attached the transmitter to a Nikon D90's hot shoe and the JrX receiver to a monolight, then positioned a pair of speedlights and a second monolight and popped 'em all with a squeeze of the shutter—FLASH!
I stepped out on the patio to make sure the transmitter wasn't aimed at the receiver and fired again—how sweet is that. If you've been frustrated using your camera's pop-up flash as commander to trigger a speedlight while keeping them in range, then you'll really boogie on down with radiopoppers. No alignment necessary.
For the above shot I used the JrX kit and stood about 65-feet from the car. The subject was lit by an SV 110i monolight mounted in the backseat with a Lastolite diffuser in front. I took about 35 shots without a misfire.
[Note: I powered the monolight with a Tronix ExplorerXT Pure Sine Wave Inverter. See my post from last year on this battery pack.]
If you want more bang for your pop and true TTL power, step up to the radiopopper PX system…
Hellzapoppin'!—I've velcro'd a PX Transmitter to the top of a shoe-mounted Nissin Di866 Pro flash; a PX Receiver is attached to a Nikon SB-900 via an included bracket and holder. (I confess I couldn't figure out how to attach the 2 popper pieces, but thankfully the radiopopper web site has an instructional video that shows how easy it is and made me feel foolish.) Once attached you're ready to rock with TTL. Speed-symc the night away! The PX system can be used with virtually any speedlight or studio strobe. (JrX units are a bit more limited).
As for the wireless range I've seen some impressive popper video tests at over 500-feet. I'll run a few more tests of my own and report on my findings.
Another nice touch to all radiopoppers is easy access to the battery compartment AND—yes—batteries are included, so you can party right out of the box!
Speaking of which, watch for the festive radiopopper Block Party (monoblocks, natch) on Zoom Street. All the light you can bask in and free strobe effects.
In the meantime visit the radiopopper site and get those juices flowing.
Party on!
EDITOR'S NOTE: Check out a cool radiopopper party favor for Nikon users here.

The artisanal way of mining
A report tracking the growth in artisanal and small-scale mining seeks to address the need for greater regulation. Khai Trung Le talks to Matthew Bliss about what role policy and industry have to play in its development.
A new report from the Intergovernmental Forum of Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) and International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has revealed the recent growth in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), attributed to rising value of mineral prices and the heightened difficulty of earning a living from agriculture and other rural activities. However, the sheer quantity of people involved – estimated at 40.5 million in 2017, up from only 7 million in 2014 – and the informal nature of the work has resulted in a highly diverse sector with varying challenges.
Matthew Bliss, Deputy Director of Programs at IGF, told Materials World that the growth in ASM is linked to families looking to fulfil food, health, and educational needs, but it may face difficulties against the growth in small-scale and semi-mechanised subsector of ASM. He added, 'Mining offers an opportunity to generate revenue, often paid in cash, both to local residents and those deciding to migrate to ASM areas. Considering these factors, it would not be surprising for growth to continue, especially during moments of rising commodity prices.'
Escape poverty
While ASM is a major producer of minerals, responsible for 26%, 25% and 20% of global tantalum, tin, and gold production respectively, it is known for its low productivity. The sector relies on a mostly low-skilled workforce, with poor health and safety practices, increased pollution of the local environment, and exposure to dangerous substances – ASM is linked to large releases of mercury, which is hard to contain, toxic at small quantities, and can be transported across long distances by air or water. Exposure can result in brain damage.
People who enter ASM often do so to escape poverty, but can find themselves unable to move to alternative lifestyles. On livelihoods and protecting the workforce, Bliss said, 'Jurisdictions vary, but recent examples of establishing ASM zones, providing technical and business support, training on safety and environment, and simply recognising ASM as a potential integral part of a jurisdiction's economy have demonstrated promise.' (see Materials World December 2017)
Formalise it
With between 70-80% of ASM being informal, one potential route towards supporting it, is greater formalisation. The report notes this will involve legal frameworks, streamlining licensing processes, access to finance for miners and wider technical and financial support. Bliss added, 'The big first step is a jurisdiction acknowledging ASM can be an integral part of their economy. That can come with or prior to documenting all ASM-related activities and categorising them by what is valued and what needs to be eliminated.' However, any future formalisation is likely to require the support of the wider mining companies and industry associations, which Bliss notes 'have acknowledged that ASM presents a challenge to their business and the value chain of commodities they supply'. He added, 'We have heard the caveat that the criminal element of ASM makes the subsector a no-go aspect, and one that must be addressed by government. With miners, governments, industry, and other organisations collaborating on ASM, as the IIED's report suggests, we are beginning to identify and better understand the roles different groups can play to help ensure ASM can be an integral part of the local and national economy and social fabric.

Your questions answered by our surgeon, Lucian Ion, FRCS(Plast)
Asked on 29 March 2013
I just wanted to know, is rhinoplasty a one-off, permanent thing. For example, once everything is done and recovered would anything need to be done in the future to maintain the shape or will it be that shape permanently?
Thank you
Rhinoplasty is considered to be a one-off intervention, but you have to bear in mind that it is a type of surgery associated with a reasonable percentage of revisions, which can be for a multitude of reasons.

Meet Sam. Sam is a tortoise with a story to tell.
Sam was hibernating as usual in her owners garage when she suffered a slight mishap. She appeared to have slipped from her shelf and suffered trauma to her shell.
Sam was brought to vet Viv at our Leamington branch where we took X-rays to establish the extent of her injuries.
The radiographs showed that she had extensive fractures to her shell which needed to be stabilised. Viv cleaned the fractures and then created a synthetic shell which he placed on Sam to allow healing of the actual shell to take place. This cast was glued in place and Sam was given a course of antibiotics to prevent infection. Sam's owners were advised that this type of injury could take some time to heal.
We saw Sam periodically to ensure that all was well and she was managing with the cast in place and behaving as normal. After six months the cracks were healing well and Sam was putting weight on and growing as expected. Viv was happy to allow her to hibernate again that winter and re-examine her in the spring.
Happily, Sam came back to us recently to have the cast removed and she can now return to normal tortoise life. Her owners were very pleased that all's well that ends well and have ensured that her hibernation place is as safe as can be. In the meantime, Sam has been enjoying the rest of her summer in the garden.

By Dr. Ed Mapes
Stonebridge Animal Hospital
Rowdy was a monster of a dog – a St. Bernard that tipped the scales at over 220 pounds. As is the case with most really big dogs, he was as gentle as he was big – all he wanted to do was be friends.
The animal control truck – used mostly to pick up stray animals – pulled up to the hospital as snow fell lightly a few days before Christmas. Rowdy's owner, Joe Harden, had called the police for help, who then called Animal Control, who had the only truck available to transport Rowdy to the hospital. He was vomiting and weak – so weak he could barely wag his tail when I opened the back door of the truck.
He was on a stretcher, borne from home by two police officers that had accompanied the dog catcher to the hospital.
"Doesn't look very good, doc", said Officer Brad Kerrigan of the Roseville Police Department.
"He's got the look of death on him".
We hefted Rowdy into the hospital and I'd almost finished my examination – he was dehydrated, had a very fast pulse, and pale mucous membranes.
We had already taken blood and urine samples and placed an intravenous catheter when Joe Harden rushed into the room. He'd driven from his job two cities away when his wife called there to tell how Rowdy had gotten so sick. Snow flakes were still on his face as he raced over to his friend on the stretcher. I started to ask Joe questions when he finally let go of Rowdy's head.
The big dog had stopped eating the night before, and then began vomiting throughout the night. There was no history of eating a tee shirt or underwear, and he'd been perfectly healthy the previous morning. Then I asked a standard question when patients are sick in the winter; could he have gotten into antifreeze?
"That could be", Joe said after a few seconds thought. "Our neighbor worked on his car yesterday, and Rowdy was over there playing with their dog."
"I don't know what he was doing on the car though."
By that time the technician had tested the urine and a sample had been spun in the centrifuge. There was blood in the urine all right, and a glance through the microscope confirmed my suspicions. Calcium oxalate crystals (Figure 1) in the urine are definitive evidence that Rowdy had ethylene glycol poisoning from drinking antifreeze.
Figure 1 these crystals that look like small coffins are appropriately seen in urine of victims of ethylene glycol poisoning.
The policemen helped us get Rowdy back to our biggest cage, and we started IV fluids and antibiotics. He was very acidotic (antifreeze is metabolized into several types of acidic compounds) and I added a dose of sodium bicarbonate to the IV mixture.
"Joe", I said, "I need you to do two things".
"Find out how much antifreeze Rowdy could have gotten".
"Then go to the liquor store and buy three fifths of vodka and get them here as fast as you can".
"Yeah Joe, ethanol is an antidote for the antifreeze".
"We've got to put Rowdy on an IV drip of pure ethanol to save his life, if that's still possible".
"We have to keep Rowdy drunk as a skunk for the next few days".
"Whatever you say, Doc', he said, glancing back with a shrug of the shoulders.
Joe showed up about a half hour later with a brown shopping bag containing three bottles individually wrapped in smaller brown bags. I calculated the dosage need to shnocker Rowdy, added it to the IV bag, and served him the first round of drinks.
Over the next three days we never let Rowdy sober up. We dosed him with antibiotics and sodium bicarbonate and of course his vodka cocktail. We catheterized his urinary bladder to maintain drainage of urine for testing, monitored his vital signs, and cleaned up the diarrhea that flowed on a regular basis.
I visited nightly at around 2:00 in the morning to keep the treatment going. Sometimes Rowdy barely seemed to know I was there.
Ever so gradually, we tapered the IV booze off. If ethanol doesn't turn the tide within the first couple of days, the kidney damage is just too severe and there's no hope for recovery left. We monitored his progress with blood and urine tests, just hoping for signs of improvement. In the afternoon of the third day, I called Joe Harden and advised that he come to the hospital.
A custom of mine was that any vodka left after treating patients for antifreeze poisoning goes back to the owners. I'm not much of a drinker myself, and they bought the stuff after all.
I'd been talking with Joe for about a half hour and the hospital was closing when the receptionist ushered Joe's wife, Annie, to join us in my office. I guess you could say they were both surprised when they saw Joe and I clicking plastic glasses together for a toast – about the fifth one we'd made. Rowdy leaped up and rushed toward Annie. His tail knocked papers off my desk and he slobbered all over her coat as he barreled into her rowdy-style.
"We're shelebrating!" I slurred. "Would you like a drink?"
"You might as well help us finish off the rest of Rowdy"s medicine!"
Note: Fomepizole is a more modern medication useful for treating ethylene glycol toxicosis. It is an antidote much like ethanol, but it's just not as fun to celebrate with as vodka.

Sydney's Largest Playground At Bungarribee Park Is Here!
- Family
By: Phoebe Ackland, ellaslist
We just can't get enough of the new $15 million Bungarribee park, which takes the cake for largest recreational parkland in Sydney!
Bungarribbe officially opened in March last year and is now considered the largest park in town. Bicentennial park in Homebush has been knocked down to number 2 on the ladder.
It's A Hit With Local Families
The park is 200 hectares, located within 5,280 hectares of the Western Sydney Parklands, according to the Blacktown Advocate. Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton told the Blacktown Advocate: "Generation after generation of families will use this park's playground, barbeques and open space to create memories that will last a lifetime…It is a vital green corridor for the health and wellbeing of all these people [Western Sydney's 0.5 million residents] and the environment."
Executive Director of Western Sydney Parklands and Parramatta Park Trusts Suellen Fitzgerald said: "We're excited to officially unveil Bungarribee Park, the largest expansion of recreational facilities in Western Sydney since the construction of Bicentennial Park at Homebush." The park is said to be an extensive oasis of natural green, open spaces with plenty to explore, perfect for all kinds of recreational activities.
Four Years In-The-Making
This grand park was 4 years in-the-making, and boasts a range of ultra-modern playground features including a whopping 50 metre long flying fox which children are sure to utterly adore, a 14 metre tall climbing tower, slides, giant swings, balance beams, water play (YAY!) 20 BBQs, 13 picnic shelters, sealed walking and cycling tracks, toilet facilities, more car-parking spaces, and an off-leash dog area for every member of the family to enjoy! The Cumberland Plain which houses plenty of native flora was compromised for the sake of this park, however "20 hectares of native wildflower and thousands of native trees will be planted" in its place, according to the Blacktown Advocate.
We are expecting plenty of families to spend big days at the park- it's fully equipped for a full day of fun, a birthday party, picnic, or even to cool off on a hot day (did we mention there's water play?!). See you there!
We're also super excited about the new zoo at Bungarribee Park which is expected to be completed in early 2019. Watch this space!

It looks like Canada could be in for a long and drawn out oil price slump now that Trump has a plan for Arctic Oil production. This could mean the world could be awash in even more oil than it is right now and for the foreseeable future.
With more and more green energy being introduced around the planet and the US set to go on an oil hunting binge the prices could soon be so low that Canadian oil workers might be in worst shape than they already are. Already the Trump regulations on Canadian Softwood are shutting down eastern mills and a new looming oil war could mean even more job losses up North.
Trump has a plan for Arctic Oil
It is hard to imagine oil companies spending big money to develop expensive offshore oil fields when they have an ocean of cheap oil sources and new drilling and fracking technologies they can access without putting out the big money for Arctic expropriation of new oil.
What about the global warming and the damage that could be done to the delicate balance of the ecological systems of the northern environment? No one seems to be worried about it down south and seem to have no desire to switch to safer ways to develop new energy sources.
Trump figures thousands of new jobs will be created in the North for oil workers. This is a little over optimistic when thousands of jobs have been lost in the oil fields of Canada and the fracking frenzy of the central states for lack of demand. Anybody check out the oil prices lately, they are not exactly going through the roof.
Why would the Yank Oil Barons spend billions on expensive northern oil extraction and exploration when they could use the mighty US buck to siphon cheap Canadian oil for years to come by building safe and affordable pipes running right to their front door.
All one has to do is look out their window and see the crazy weather around the planet with new records being broken daily for extreme weather and realize the last thing this planet needs is more drilling, fracking and exploration of oil, especially in delicate ecological systems such as the Arctic.
It seems almost ludicrous when a government can spend billions of dollars implementing new legislation and the next one that comes along spends billions undoing it. Look out Mr Polar bear, here come the yanks.

Madurai: The Tamil Nadu police on Monday recovered eleven bombs from a garbage dump in the city, thus averting what security forces are suspecting was a major terror strike.
According to reports, the bombs, tied together by a thread, were dumped in the Anna Nagar aree here. After being discovered, the police called the bomb squad to help dispose the bombs. The police also cordoned off the area and restricted traffic in and around the locality.
After inspecting the spot along with the bomb squad team, Deputy Commissioner of Police Samant Rohan Rajendra said, " The bombs were of 'grenade type' which would explode only when hurled hard against an object and had been dumped by organised crime members."
According to an English news channel, the DC further said that the bombs would be defused after experts analysed them fully. Top police and Intelligence officials also visited the spot.
Initially police had said that they had recovered 11 objects from the bin, two were identified as bombs and nine others were being analysed. The officials added that the intent behind this act was to spread terror. Cops are suspecting that local rowdy gang placed the bomb here.
Talking to reporters, another police official said, "The pressure mounted by Police against the criminals ahead of Babri Masjid demolition anniversary on December 6 and tight vigil on the gangsters would have forced the criminals to drop the bomb in the garbage bin."
Earlier in 2011, a bomb weighing seven kgs was found on the outskirts of Madurai just an hour before senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani was meant to travel past that neighbourhood.
In 1998, a series of blasts hit Coimbatore hours before Advani was to address an election rally. 58 people were killed and over 200 were injured.

Perhaps even though the teenage employee has the best intentions the owner is an asshat and would think keeping $10 separate incase the family came in again was too much trouble. Who knows.
I suppose my point is I would have to have some level of comfort that the suspended dinner idea would actually be pulled off (if it was already a formally established practice at the shop etc), otherwise I would probably just give the cash to he parent in need themselves (which has a risk too but that's what I would do).
Not trying to have a go at the concept of a suspended dinner - I think it's a really nice idea.

I believe that underneath, most people have good hearts. I think if you approached the owner of the shop and explained you'd like to put $20 or whatever down for this family so next time they can get some food, I believe the owner would do it.
the only reason I can think that he wouldn't do it is he'd be worried that by giving food, he'd encourage the dad to return and beg for more food next time. could turn into a bit of a pest/put off his usual clientele.
but I think most people have good hearts.
I highly doubt the dad was a con. he desperate would you have to be to beg for food in front of your kids!? he was obviously desperate and this was his last resort.

The poor chap was probably hoping to be given some unwanted end of the day food.
I would step in and offer to buy them something to eat.

If it was a scam, there are a million other more lucrative ones to use on people. Scamming 3 bucks worth of chips is hardly worth the embarrassment iykwim.

IF I had had some cash (which I pretty much never do) I would have given him a bit of money, if there were other nearby shops that he could get food at. I probably wouldn't have left a tab at the fish and chip shop. Reason being, if this guy can't even afford 5 bucks for some chips, something is seriously wrong and he needs a whole lot more help than a tab at a takeaway place. I probably would have tried to strike up a conversation with him and find out what he needs and how to refer him on to some charities etc. They would be able to give him help and advice on all aspects of his family's needs, not just that nights dinner.

I was just in the shop as i was alone so didn't really want to strike up a convo at 9pm to a strange guy at a fish and chip shop. He could have been shady. I don't know.
What went through my mind was that last week a homeless women died in a maccas and nobody knows anything about her and was slumped there for hours until someone asked if she was even ok. And then I thought of when i first left my ex husband and it took weeks for spp to kick in and i remember being down to the bare essentials and serving pancakes for dinner. I had to do something even as a bystander.

I probably would have given cash, but a tab is a good idea too. I don't have much, but give when I can. It's a nice thing for you to do MSH x

February is a month for lovers. We're not big fans of the sappy Valentine's Day dialogue, but we sure do love the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with all of our heart. This minivan is certainly the apple of our eye and we want to share with you our four favorite things about this amazing vehicle. There's no question the 2018 Pacifica is our valentine year-round, and we want to convince you that it should be yours too. Here are our four favorite features:
1. This technologically advanced model features an available Uconnect® system that will blow you away. This includes two 10.1-inch, high-definition touchscreens equipped with Blu-ray, wireless streaming, wireless headphones, downloadable games, apps, and two HDMI inputs. You'll never have trouble keeping everyone entertained in this incredible minivan.
2. While the kids are entertained with the dual-screen entertainment system, this Chrysler will keep you entertained with Android Auto™ as well as Apple CarPlay® up front. These awesome features will help keep you focused on the road ahead, while making it easy to make calls, play music, access navigation, and more.
3. This minivan is not only extremely smart when it comes to technology, it also has a myriad of safety features that are quite advanced. One of our favorites has to be the full-speed forward collision warning plus. This feature will actively look out for you and your family on the road and help prevent a frontal crash. Audio and visual cues will populate the dashboard if a crash is imminent, informing the driver to brake immediately. If the driver does not brake and the crash is still imminent, this vehicle will actually brake for you! That's thanks to the Automated Emergency Braking System available on 2018 models.
4. We all know a minivan is a little bit harder to park than a coupe. That's why this 2018 Chrysler has an available parallel and perpendicular park assist system that will basically park the car for you. This amazing feature makes squeezing into a tight spot a breeze. All the driver has to do is follow on-screen instructions for the gear position, brake, and gas pedal. Watch this amazing feature in action below:
If you're not swooning over this van like we are, we don't know what else to say. Well actually, there is one more thing we could say: Check out our inventory in person. We think you'll fall in love once you experience this vehicle first-hand. Give us a call for a test drive at (866) 447-1843 or stop by our dealership. We'd be happy to match you with the perfect Pacifica.

Pat Medina has been selected to fill a vacancy on the Hotchkiss Town Council created by the resignation of Larry Jakubiak. Her appointment runs until the municipal election in April.
Council member Tom Wills said Medina shares many of the same values as Jakubiak and has a broad understanding of the community. Mary Hockenbery said it will be valuable to have a business owner on the town council as the downtown revitalization effort continues.
Four other residents had expressed interest in the vacancy, but Sheila Maki and Matt Kottenstette withdrew their names from consideration. The other two applicants were Patrick Webb and Larry Wilkening. Mayor Wendell Koontz encouraged all the unsuccessful applicants to consider applying for a vacancy on the Hotchkiss Planning Commission.
"I decided I would throw my hat in because I'm really concerned about the economy of Hotchkiss," Pat Medina said. A recent uptick in business growth is promising, and she wants to see the town's commitment to business and to the schools to continue. "I want us to do what we can to better our little community," she said.
Medina moved from Delta to Hotchkiss 20 years ago. She worked for Larry Jakubiak in the North Fork Valley Restaurant for 17 years before purchasing the business and renaming it "Pat's Bar and Grill" three years ago.
Jakubiak, who served the community for 23 years, frequently discussed issues and solicited feedback from his staff and customers. "It was a great opportunity to witness him in this position," Medina said.
She describes herself as a hard worker, a mom and a grandma who just wants to see the community thrive. "Hopefully I can do my part to help," she said.

Can I fix my iPhone
So I believe that my iPhone battery fried because one day it was in my pocket and I took it out and the back was really hot. The phone would not turn on eventually it cool down and I charge it but it would turn off and on it connects to iTunes if I put it on recovery mode. It only turns on if I plug it in to the charger but the thing is it goes to the apple logo and then the screen goes black where you can tell that it on. Can a battery replacement fix this?
Is this a good question?

Toronto Looking To Hire Klinsmann?
- Posted by Drew Epperley
- On October 29, 2010
- 4 Comments
- Jurgen Klinsmann
I've always been told Toronto can be like a bizarro-world. I guess that is certainly the case with this news out of Toronto that TFC is set to hire Jurgen Klinsmann.
Oddly enough he won't be hired as a GM or as a head coach but as a consultant. Here's the blurb from The Globe and Mail article:
The former German national team player and coach will be given a free hand to rebuild an organization that has failed to make the playoffs during each of its four seasons of existence. This past year saw the firing of TFC's original general manager Mo Johnston and his latest head coach, Preki, and a protest by the club's supporters over both the poor calibre of play and ticket price increases for next season.
Though Klinsmann will not take on the role of general manager or coach himself, he will be asked to make a recommendation as to Johnston's replacement.
But it is more than a simple head hunting assignment. Klinsmann and his company will look at the club's infrastructure, at its academy and scouting system, will suggest a playing style, and then find someone to accomplish the goals they set out.
We know he's been offered a job as the US coach twice now but I guess this role may suit him a bit more? Who knows. Toronto as we all know are in major need of a clean up and a turnaround and Klinsmann could be the perfect guy to do just that. In all reality they need a culture change there in house to get the club on a better path. Maybe this hire will work and maybe it won't. It all comes down to who Klinsmann helps get as a coach.
Just an odd thought, wouldn't it be weird if he helped get one of his former assistant coaches Martin Vasquez the TFC gig? Yes that would make two straight years of former Chivas USA coaches in Toronto. I'm only slightly joking about this because that would be a terrible hire.

weeds and artichokes
Finally a weekend without many planned activities let me catch up on the far overdue weeding. First I got the new weeds in the backyard that grew from the last attempt. Then I moved on to the front yard and managed to get everything but the weeds between the flagstones and the weeds along the side of the house. It was about 1.5 green barrels worth and there is probably another barrel to pull on the side. Hopefully I'll get to that this evening. I forget how good a simple weeding can make things look.
Sunday we went to Castroville for the artichoke festival. The number of restored and modified cars on display was much larger this year. The We had some fried artichokes and I had an artichoke and carne asada taco (very good). There was a sign for artichoke cupcakes but unfortunately they were sold out. Oh well, that's what we get for going two hours before closing. The vegetable sculptures weren't as impressive or numerous this year except for the snake in a tree that was the first one you ssee when entering the hall. Having done almost all we went to do, it was time to buy a couple cases of artichokes and go. The nice thing about going late on Sunday is that they don't want to haul all those artichokes away so by the time we were there a case of 18 jumbo artichokes was going for $16.
On the way back to the car I rested the artichokes down on top of a fire hydrant while we watched some dancers inside the festival area. Then I picked up the cases and turned to continue with a jolt of pain as I slammed my shin into the fire hydrant valve. About a block later I stopped and checked my shin and found it was already swollen quite a bit. Nicole got the car and came back for me and the future food. When I got home I rested it andiced it on and off for about 45 minutes which greatly reduced the swelling and today the pain and swelling is very minor, yay!

The Bodleian Libraries' autumn exhibition 'Treasures of the Bodleian' opens to the public today (Friday 30 September). The exhibition will feature a selection of the Bodleian's rarest, most important and most evocative items – from ancient papyri to medieval oriental manuscripts to twentieth-century printed books and ephemera.
The exhibits are arranged into broad themes: the classical heritage; mapping the world; the sacred word; the animal and plant kingdoms; works of the imagination; the sciences of observation and calculation; historical moments in time.
The 'Treasures of the Bodleian' exhibition looks towards the new permanent exhibitions gallery in the Weston Library which will open in 2015. Members of the public can give their thoughts on which of the library's treasures should be put on permanent display in the new building. Visitors to the exhibitions are also invited to take part in the debate on what makes a particular book, manuscript or relic – out of a collection of nine million – a treasure? They can offer their own views when visiting the exhibition, or via the website.
Sarah Thomas, Bodley's Librarian, said: 'We are delighted to be able to put on public display a selection of the Bodleian's greatest treasures. This is just a preview of what the Weston Library will offer the public when it opens in 2015. We want our collections to be accessible to the public, for people to come and see them, admire, inspect and get close to them. We want our treasures to become part of the public vocabulary.'
The website and a free mobile app (to be launched in the second half of October) will accompany the exhibition. Several items are accompanied by video presentations made by experts from University of Oxford. Podcasts of music and readings from a number of manuscripts in both the original language and English will bring the ancient items to life.
Highlights of the exhibition include:
- The Laxton Map, 1635, depicting England's sole surviving open-field system.
- The Elements of Euclid, AD 888, the oldest surviving manuscript of what would become the standard version of Euclid's Elements, as re-edited in the 4th century AD by Theon of Alexandria.
- Marco Polo's Travels, manuscript, 14th century, 'one of the great picture books of the Middle Ages'.
- Telegrams from the Titanic, 1912. The distress message from the Titanic to the Celtic. From the recently acquired the vast archive of Marconi plc.
- Codex Mendoza, 16th century, an account of Aztec life with pictographs by an Aztec artist and annotated in Spanish.
- Wilfred Owen, 'Anthem for Dead Youth', 1917, handwritten draft.
- The Kennicott Bible, illuminated Hebrew Bible, 1476. Made at Corunna in north-west Spain, it is bound in a contemporary goatskin box-binding, of which only five other examples are extant. Its fine parchment pages contain exceptionally beautiful combinations of calligraphy by the scribe Moses Ibn Zabara, and illuminations and decorative penmanship by the artist Joseph Ibn Hayyim.
- Magna Carta, 1217. The Bodleian has four of the seventeen surviving pre-1300 'engrossments' of Magna Carta, three of which date from 1217 and one from 1225.
- The Ashmole Bestiary, 13th century. Produced in England, this superbly illustrated manuscript is one of the finest of the early Gothic illuminated Bestiaries (Christianized versions of ancient animal lore) which were especially popular in this country in the first half of the thirteenth century.
- Letter from an Egyptian boy to his father, 2nd or 3rd century AD. Many of the 500,000 or so papyrus fragments discovered at the end of the nineteenth century contain passages of literary or philosophical works, but most are the stuff of everyday life: shopping lists, tax returns, legal documents, private letters and memoranda. Tattered and fragile, they are clearly of great age, but the concerns they express are immediately recognisable. Occasionally, amongst the mass of business papers, they reveal personal emotions: here, a petulant schoolboy called Theon complains to his father for leaving him behind.
- William Shakespeare, First Folio, 1623. This is the firstcollected edition of Shakespeare's plays, published seven years after his death by two of his fellow actors. The first collected edition of any English playwright, it prints a total of thirty-six plays, many of which would otherwise have been lost to future generations.
- Bakhshali manuscript – first evidence of the concept of zero, represented by a round dot. A leaf from a remarkable birch bark manuscript, that provides unique evidence for how the earliest Indian mathematics was written. The text is a collection of algorithms and sample problems in verse, with a commentary explaining them in a combination of prose and numerical notation.
The exhibition will remain open until 23 December 2011.

The Italian Job
Orlagh and Phil decided on a city wedding with their ceremony in the town Hall followed by a reception in the fabulous Italian restaurant Stock, situated in one of the old banking buildings of Manchester.
Orlagh got ready at the Midland hotel, which made for some lovely photos with the natural daylight and opulent surroundings. The Town Hall, a firm favourite of mine provided the backdrop to their moving and personal ceremony accompanied by a surprise Gospel choir hiding in the balcony.
With Orlagh's stunning backless dress I wanted to capture a few shots from behind and the dramatic staircase in the Town Hall was the ideal location.
After a fun group shot on the main entrance and some couple shots of Phil and Orlagh inside and outside of the Town Hall we made our way over to Stock where the beautiful domed ceiling was a great setting for the reception and meal.
