I ask a question about Elavil awhile back and if I should try it. I talk to my Dr. about it and he put me on Remeron which is in the same family as Elavil. Ive not taken it yet out of fear of reactions Ive had from the other 7 AD's Ive been on. Has anyone taken Remeron for anxiety disorders/panic attacks/depression??? Im at my wits end with trying all this meds, and suffering through this for going on 2 yrs now!! HELP!!! 2009-2010 were very hard for me, and now so far, 2011 isnt looking much better!!! Im tired of being tired, Im tired of being anxious, scared out of my mind, tired of waking up each day and my thoughts going directly straight to death, either of someone close to me or myself. Wondering "Will I die today?" I really cant just do this anymore. Im not suicidal at all, just the opposite. I WANT to live, but I feel like Im not until all this craziness gets under control. Im too scared to try to live.
Does Remeron help at all with anxiety/depression?

It sounds like you are very upset so I am going to try to ease your mind some if I can. I am too am on Remeron and it has helped me a great deal. I can finally get some sleep which I haven't done in a few years. I too have severe depression and at one time was on Paxil which was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, I found out there is life out there it helped with my depression and anxiety a lot but they had to take me off it because of putting me on Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia but I am stil functioning with the Cymbalta and Remeron. The Remeron helps me sleep so that I can function during the day and the anxiety isn't as bad.
I would suggest to you tat you get started on the Remeron like you doctor says and see what it does for you maybe if you can sleep your depression and anxiety won't be so bad and I would also suggest if you are not already getting some steady counseling. This is a good place to also come for support and there are some good people here, yes everything has its issues like anything else but there are good people here and maybe by getting some support and taking your medicine you can start to see the light again. I hope I have helped you some. Take care, marjorie zych
Good job marjorie! You are so supportive!
Thanks Psyched I try to be I have been through hell and back so I know a lot of what these people are going through. Thanks again, marjorie zych
Thank you so much Marjorie!! Actually I do go to therapy once a month, but it doesnt feel like it helps a whole lot. As far as sleeping, I already sleep pretty good. Maybe the Remeron would help me sleep deeper and more sound. So you said the Remeron actually does help with your anxiety? Or atleast brings it down some enough that you can function? My anxiety levels are so high that I cant even drive by myself or stay home alone out of fear of going into a panic attack and being alone and something happening to me. The way I feel everyday is just terrible. Not to mention the stomach problems Im having..which my Dr has done every test possible on me, and so far nothing physically has been found. Now I have to have an endoscope done because they think I may have an ulcer. One thing after another. I know your not a Dr, but you may be able to help me with this question.
Will going thru a couple of extremely traumatic events within 2 months time trigger anxiety? I had no anxiety and no panic attacks until Sept of 09. A dear friend of mine died suddenly in June 09 and my father was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 lung cancer in Aug. 09. I have read up on post traumatic stress syndrome and I have some symptoms of that. Like reliving those events over and over and over in my mind. I am going to bring it up to my therapist during my next visit. Well Ive blabbed enough. Again, I cant thank you enough for your thoughts and support! It helps to know Im not alone in this thing.
If you are going through reliving the events over and over it sounds like it may be PTSD or a form of it. I am real sorry to hear of he losses in your life. I went through a time when I lost my daughter on a Sunday and then my mom the following Sunday one week to the day and then the next Sunday was Mother's Day so I know how it feels to lose people it is not easy. I will make you are friend ad we cantalk as much as you want. It is always good to know you are not alone an your not. Take care my friend, marjorie zych
I am on Remeron for depression and anxiety and it helps me so much,I couldn't sleep without it.I suffer panic attacks and have xanax for that and I am also seeing a therapist.Make sure you take the remeron right before you are ready for bed,it will make you very sleepy.The only side effect that I can't stand is the weight gain,but it is worth it compared to the anxiety and depression!!!
Hi, I just registered. I have been depressed all my life,but lately, like four months now I have been extremely depressed... and have been dignosed with bi-polar now. The dr. put me on Remeron on January 24th,,10 days now that I"ve been on 15mgs... when I first took it I slept all night and the next day all day... so I cut the pill in half for maybe 3 three nights,, since then been on the full 15mgs. I haven't noticed any help at all yet with the depression or the anxiety... in fact I think I"m worse.. I lose my temper over the littlest things.. and am very edgy, which I wasn't before. Do you have to go through all this before the med really kicks in? Or do you think this med isn't for me at all. I know I haven't been on it that long... but boy do I hate what its doing to me.. I"m so tired of being so depressed, and have tried so many other AD's.. This drug was kind of my last resort.. so I"m desparately looking for some answers...
if anyone can help me I"d really appreicate all your suggestions.. do you think I should ask the dr. tomorrow ( have an appt.) to up it yet? or is it too soon to tell? I really need some help... I keep thinking maybe this med isn't for me after all... Achyten
achyten, It doesn't sound like Remeron is the right one for you. Everyone responds differently and if you have bi-polar disorder there are different drugs for that and maybe Remeron is not the right one. Have you tried others? There is Lithium, Depakote, Rispieradal to name a few that are commonly used for bi-polar. Good luck and hope this helps, marjorie zych
Hi Marjorie,, well it's been thirteen days since I started the remeron, and I"m glad I waited it out as all those bad feelings went away, and I'm starting to feel better,, much better as a matter of fact. I sleep good now,, don't have to take a sleeping pill anymore,, I was up to taking 2 sleeping pills before. I"m looking like my old self again too... as I was even hating to look at myself in the mirror cause I was looking soo tired and worn out. Remeron is working for me after all. Sometimes we have to weather through some of the side effects and get to where we want to be..I could feel a bit better,, so I"m hoping with a few more days I'll be happier and a bit more normal... so to speak... ty for your comment anyway... achyten
achyten, I am so glad you are doing better because I think Remeron is a wonderful drug and yes sometimes we have to wait for results they don't always come when we want them. Good luck and hope you continue to do well, marjorie zych
i just wanted to add the elavil is a tricylic and remeron is a tetracyclic
I take 15 mg remeron helps with sleep. Afraid to add anything for anxiety and depression because of seratonin syndrome and or other side effects. Was told that raising the dose from 15 can actually cause opposite of sleep and to stay on low dose for sleep.
How much remeron does everyone take and do you take other antidepressants with it?
I am on 15 mg remeron at night daily along with 1.5 mg klonopin. Lately have been feeling very anxious. Does anyone know if it is possible to add zoloft or lexapro to my meds ??
Remeron has been a life saver for me. Every SSRI I have tried increased my anxiety and made my insomnia unbearable. Finally after several sleep studies, and years of Effexor, Paxil, Cymbalta, Prozac used along with Clonazepam (for the anxiety and some sleep med or other) I was referred to a psyco-pharmacologist, who looked at my meds and said: "It's no wonder you can't sleep and are so anxious, look at the dose of Effexor you are on!"
So, he switched me out to Remeron, within a couple of weeks most my anxiety had abated, I was able to use to Clonazepam only for emergencies AND best of all I was finally sleeping!
I didn't realize what a mess I was until I started feeling better. Now 3 months in I am almost 100%. a
As for the weight gain, I am thin to start with, but have actually lost some weight because I am so much more active; I can go to the gym, yoga class, cycle—all thing my paralyzing anxiety and lack of sleep was keeping me from doing.
I give it 5/5!
It's so strange that I feel the same way and feel compelled to just register and respond. For me Rememron (Mirtazipane) helped a lot with the panic attacks and anxiety but the side effect I may not be able to live with either. Its a constant battle, the anxiety and panic attacks. I do feel as if I'm going to die everyday but I do not want to so I now I am not suicidal. It consumes me and my daily life is just not the same.
I like rememron as a non narcotic class of drugs to treat my anxiety. I just wish I didn't gain weight on it. That is what makes me stop taking it. The weight is another source of anxiety that changes my everyday living.
I have been on Remeron for 8+ years and it has literally saved my life!! I take it for PTSD and depression, I also take Xanax for anxiety. This combo works very well for me. As you all know, we can act or react differently to any med. I am lucky NOT to have the weight gain. In addition to Anxiety, Depression and PTSD, I have Crohns Disease, so my weight flucuates frequently but it is the Prednisone upping my weight when I need a larger dose.

text: After seeing the "Worst bass you ever played" thread, I noticed that most instruments mentioned (Supro, etc)aren't exactly known as good quality, pro level instruments. I'd be interested in knowing what everybody's least favorite high end bass is and why. In my case, it was a Fodera Monarch 5. Yup, it was a 5-string version of Victor Wooten's original Fodera, except the width around the nut was so uncomfortabe you could get tendinitis just by looking at the thing. I'm sure it was custom built for someone with hands like Sasquatch and I'd be happy with a bass made for my hand size (But the price - oy.) Had it been more playable, I'd have loved to have it.

This being International Women's Day, it deserves commemoration. So here's something to get the day started right:
Just a little while ago, today, I stumbled onto an amazing juxtaposition of two of the Pakistani women one can be most proud of: a piece by Asma Jehangir on Mukhtaran Mai, written as part of one of those end-of-the-year series that major magazines do--in this case, the "Asian Heroes" series from 2004.
Mukhtaran Mai, of course, is the Pakistani woman most often celebrated nowadays; the person victimized by a barbaric village council and who went on to both demand justice without regard to the cost to her, and then becoming an active presence for women's issues and rights in Pakistan and for Pakistani and Muslim women as she has travelled abroad and published a memoir/autobiography. Folks will have read reams and reams of copy--and maybe even her book. But for me, the most moving and profound tribute came last year in a personal converstation with Prof. Adil Najam. Paraphrasing from memory here: "I have sat next to and interviewed a Prime Minister, the person acknowledged as one of the greatest poets in our region in the latter half of the Twentieth Century; and Pakistan's only Nobel Laureate. But sitting next to Mukhtaran Mai, I was genuinely impressed. And, even compared to those other folks, proud of her as a Pakistani."
And all this from a poor uneducated villager, one is tempted to say--and folks have often said. But then, that just shows that folks don't really know or understand Pakistani women, women, Pakistanis, or work-a-day Muslims who live in Muslim societies, now doesn't it? But more of that later.
Asma Jehangir is the kind of person that makes you start a discussion with "If the Nobel Prize was really given purely on merit..." and, in her case, if the Nobel Peace Prize was really given purely on merit, and a woman activist in a Muslim country going up against all odds completely fearlessly again, and again, and then not just stopping there, but stepping onto the world stage to work on the same issues on a global level...well then, why wait till 2003? Anything else might I had the honour of spending some time stuck at Lahore airport with her and Naeem Bokhari back in 1994--and just shooting the breeze. [And this after representing the War Against Rape at a human rights moot held in her offices that very week, and watching her from afar.] Pakistanis--at least those paying attention--don't need to be told the story. Asma Jehangir famously started the first All-Female law practice in Pakistan. Opposition to Gen. Zia's "Hudood Laws" brought her onto the streets, so to speak, and not taking nonsense became her style. She famously turned around a slapped a senior police officer who had yanked her ponytail during one demonstration. She then went on to be one of the leading lights of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. (Something Dr. Amartya Sen is very quick to acknowledge when discussing civil society in Pakistan, for example.) She's since gone global and taken on assignments from the UN as "UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Arbitrary and Summary Executions" and, since 2004, "United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief of the Commission on Human Rights since 2004". Oh, and Rani Mukerjee played what is often seen as a fictionalized version of her in a major Bollywood movie.
As I started to say above, even with all the attention focused on Pakistan and Muslims since 2001, these women demonstrate in all they say and do, and in how they say and do it, something no amount of ink--print or electronic--has been able to capture and convey. And that is that one can live in a dictatorship, one can be victimized in the most barbaric way, and yet, even in this day and age, stand up and speak truth to power, demand justice while continuing to have and draw strength from a very strong and personal faith (as Mukhtaran Mai does) and advocate strongly for things like human rights, civil society, and civil rights in the context of, and with respect for, faith, family, tradition, and values.
Today, we celebrate these Pakistani women--and Muslim women, and all women. Especially those not demanding special consideration for who they are, or what they want to do, but who are working for basic dignity and justice for themselves, for other women, and for all us.
PS: And if you want to read more from me on this topic, try this link.
PPS: I cross-posted the above on a couple of sites focused on Muslims, and added the following introductory paragraph:
On International Women's day, on this site, one would think of the Muslim Woman. But when one--anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim--thinks of the Muslim Woman nowadays, what does one think of? Well, not to push the stereotype too far, but it's either the headscarf-wearing (-and-calling-it-hijab), headscarf-pushing person demanding that her conservative values and practices be accepted and given allowances, or the other extreme; that of the memoir-publishing, interview-giving dissident or refusenik. But in all this, the person that I would really like to be heard from more is another kind of Muslim woman: the activist, the human rights lawyer, the person fight back against oppression, and to make the world a better place for all of us--comfortable with her faith, her community, and often her nation; but still being in the forefront of working to make them work better for her co-religionists, her neighbours and her compatriots.
So here [you are]--and of course, I focus on Pakistan, for it is one of the corners of the Muslim world I know best; please do post your own "nominations"!

Fomento Resources Mentors – Before CSR there was YSR
1. The early years:
ANS: I was working as a Mining Engineer in a mining company. It was C.S.Krishnamurthy who introduced me to Fomento. I joined Fomento on 22nd September, 1969.Throughout my career, I have learnt several lessons such as there cannot be service without responsibility and duty without tension. All this I gained in Fomento Resources – It gave me the opportunity to be responsible and dutiful. Initially I was an assistant technician to the team of Japanese delegation who had visited Goa.
2. His greatest challenges:
ANS: Understanding the nature of the deposit (geology) and harnessing it was challenging work but we loved it because it was interesting as well. Operational know how that is well to do it might be any operation at the mines.
3. His best memories:
ANS: My fondest memory was Auduthbab asking me over the phone one day: "Reddy where we shall commission FERROMAT" and without wasting even two seconds I answered "CUDDEGAL , AUDUTHBAB" and it was there.
4. Then and now
ANS: We started with washing of Ore at Maina in 1973. People carried our ideas at forefront mainly the development practices. In 1986 at Cuddegal, the first screening plant was commissioned and commenced its operations as well. In recent years, there has been a vast and phenomenal growth taking place in all departments from explorations, operations, export, mining and transport. In today's mining industry, the use of machinery is also seen as a major change.
5. If you were to start work again, is there anything you would like to change?
ANS: No changes.
6. How do you spend your personal time?
ANS: Listening to Radio Sai and reading mining magazines/periodicals from International publishers.
7. What do you like best about the company?
ANS: The phenomenal growth and corporate sustainability.

Well no, according to some of North America's best-known designers, it's the sheer line, the curve of the deck line from bow to stern as you look at it from the side.
Francis S. Kinney, in Skene's Elements of Yacht Design. calls it "perhaps the one single line that crowns or damns the whole creation." Steve Killing, in Yacht Design Explained, calls it "the most prominent and significant line on a hull, It not only defines the character of the boat, but if done well will be (in truth must be) beautiful at any angle."
And that's the problem, apparently. When you're drawing the sheer line by hand, it's next to impossible to guarantee how it will appear from all angles. "Sheers that look fine in each individual view can end up having some harsh curves when viewed in three dimensions," says Killing.
Strangely enough, he claims that sometimes, if you look at a boat from a point off the starboard bow, the sheer can have a hump that appears seemingly out of nowhere about one quarter of the way back from the bow. But, conversely, if you look aft from the same vantage point. the sheer near the transom can appear much too straight.
Luckily, modern designers have found a tool that helps them find the perfect sheer line for any boat — the computer. "Many scoff at the use of computers in yacht design," Killing adds, "dismissing them as inhuman, permitting none of the art required by the truly talented designer." But, in his experience, there is more opportunity for the designer to perfect the look of a boat on the computer screen than there ever was on paper.
A good design software program produces graphics with such speed and accuracy that a designer can now economically run through 10 subtly differing versions of a custom design and do a "walk around" on the screen with particular attention to problem spots that otherwise would have caused surprises and embarrassment on the workshop floor. It also enables the designer to be sure that his all-important sheer line will always look right, adding beauty and elegance when viewed from any angle.
Today's ThoughtThere is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

I then decided that I wanted the phone back to "out of the box". So I went back to that zip file and unrooted it thinking that would return it to stock. It doesn't. So I did a factory data reset from phone, also thinking it would go back to stock and it wiped my phone. Every time I would reboot, it would go to that clockwork screen and stay there. THEN I found this other file I had to put on my sd card called "exitrecovery" and I got my phone back. Now I am getting daily updates from Verizon and it always fails, landing on a Clockwork mode screen with all these options to do different things. People are saying that its great to have a rooted phone with a custom ROM ect... Ok. So what I want to do now, is get my phone to out of box state to be able to update the phone, root it again and put some custom ROM on it to see what all the excitement is about How do I start to attempt this feat? I am so lost as how to do this without killing my phone.

Photo and article by Rain San Martin
Society has programmed us to run nonstop, multitask, and
fill our minds with continual chatter. Often the key to being more productive
is counterintuitive – it means taking time to break from our work and daily
Our minds become sharper with intentional silence, planned breaks,
and regular physical movement.
Across the country there are digital detox movements,
including the National Day to Unplug, where people are speaking up about
excessive internet, smartphone, and media use. More and more families
communicate with each other via texting, even though they are in the same house.
The solution: periodically "unplug."
By unplugging one day each week you'll learn how to:
Paul Miller from TheVerge.com performed a life experiment
where he abstained from the internet for one whole year! He unplugged his Wi-Fi,
and swapped his smart phone for a basic phone.
During his experiment, he became more aware of others.
Interactions with
people were no longer dependent on Twitter.
When he returned to the internet one year later, he realized that it was
a valuable tool for staying connected with loved ones. Now he's more engaged in
social situations, listens with more undivided attention, and is living with
The lesson: use the
internet as a means to an end (not an end in itself). Pay attention to the people in your life.
Setting clear boundaries and clarifying the expectations of others
is important when you break from the Web. If you're looking for an extended
break from the internet, Fast Company explains how in a post entitled, "How to #Unplug
in 6 Steps."
Brief naps will help you stay productive during your working
hours, as you will be more alert, energized, and focused.
There are two ways to
approach napping: you may simply close your eyes and still your mind, or you
may choose to fall asleep. Both are beneficial, and will recharge your
On MarieClaire.com, an article entitled, "The Napping
Revolution," states how 10 minutes of rest in the afternoon is all you need to
improve your work performance. Alertness and cognitive function are both
improved with as little as 8.4 minutes per day, and the effects can last for 3

you can catch a quick wink in your car. Do you bike to work? There may be a
public park nearby where you can lay on the grass.
recommends sleeping no longer than 30 minutes, as it will interfere with your
sleep cycle. Bring a portable alarm to ensure you make it back to work on time.
If you don't have time to take a full nap, micro recharging
sessions where you lay down for 1-3 minutes will give you a quick boost. It's
important to note that naps are not a substitute for a solid regular sleeping
cycle of 8 hours per night.
Combining good sleep habits with an afternoon nap
will give you maximum performance, and you'll enjoy your waking hours more
fully with added vitality.
An infographic posted on Healthdecide.orcahealth.com says
that breaks are more effective when taken before your body needs a rest. The
graphic states that 1 in 3 people skip their lunch break, and the remaining 2
out of 3 workers eat at their desks, or skip lunch entirely.
When we stare at
the computer for long periods of time, it may appear like we're productive, yet
we may be growing more fatigued. When
our minds become tired we become more prone to make errors in our work.
Set your timer; focus on a key task, then break to stimulate
circulation in your legs.
This is also a way to reduce interruptions and
increase focus. Some productivity experts use the Pomodoro Technique to
complete their tasks. This involves setting their Pomodoro timer for 25
minutes, taking a 5 minute break, then repeating.
If you want to stay productive during these "breaks," you
could walk to another part of the office to deliver an item, or perform a quick
chore if you work from a home office.
According to a study posted on
ajcn.nutrition.org, getting up and walking for under 2 minutes every half hour
is effective in decreasing the glucose and insulin levels of diabetics.
Sometimes it takes a bold attitude to go against the grain
and "unplug" weekly, power nap daily, and avoid sitting still for more than 30
You'll be happy you took the time to recharge your batteries, not only
so you can feel better, but so you can achieve more quality work during your
waking hours.
How do you recharge?

The Regimen; Day 6
Entry posted by Sunnivita ·

Last night I really drenched my skin in jojoba oil before going to bed and slept face up for as long as I was aware of my body's position. I think that the foresight of last night really helped my skin's condition this morning- It felt a lot more comfortable immediately after waking up. That being said, after the morning regimen, my skin continued to get dry throughout the day and I finally saw the notorious flakes I'd been dreading. I also got two new pimples, one right in the middle of what used to be the soft underside of my neck and another in the hollow of my left cheek (the latter place is normal for me). Not looking forward to tomorrow's skin condition.

Craving Something Sweet from P.F. Chang's!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of P.F. Changs for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a HUGE fan of P.F. Chang's. Partly because they're so gluten free friendly and partly because they're food is awesome. I was pretty excited to hear that they've got a holiday dessert menu going on this season!
Yup, you can try the Peppermint Mocha Cappuccino (oh, I die!) or the Vanilla Bean Milkshake. I swear it's like they said – "Allison is a peppermint fiend and Russell adores all things vanilla so let's make two things they just cannot refuse so they will come and see us immediately!" Now I know that's not really the way things work but somehow it seems like an awfully odd coincidence!
There are also a few amazing looking dessert wontons. Sadly, I cannot partake but that doesn't mean that you can't! Just think, crunchy wontons filled with Sweet Vanilla Cheese or Chocolate Raspberry. Head on over to P.F. Chang's to see some amazing looking pictures. And I totally won't tell if just so happen to print them off and leave them someplace your significant other just might happen to see them and decide to take you out for dinner! And don't forget that if you want to know the haps you can Follow @pfchangs on Twitter and Follow P.F. Chang's on Pinterest1
So, which delicious holiday beverage are you going to run into P.F. Chang's to try… the Vanilla Bean Milkshake or the Peppermint Mocha Cappuccino?

In one of the defining moments of the Russian Empire, 300,000 workers marched in St. Petersburg to deliver a petition requesting rights from the Tsar. Such a request had been made a decade before when Nicholas II had taken the throne, but the young Tsar refused to give up the ideals of benevolent autocracy, declaring he believed in them "as firmly and as strongly as did my late lamented father." Alexander III was known for his repressive and reactionary stance against movements by the people, and Nicholas seemed hell-bent on following in his footsteps.
Nicholas had planned to leave St. Petersburg the day before as the strike seemed to become dangerous, but a fierce headache forced him to stay in bed. The next morning, he awoke to see the people gathering, and he watched as the hundreds of thousands approached. The Imperial Guard posted shot into the air to encourage the people to disperse and then prepared to fire into the crowd to force them away. Nicholas, seeing a new light as so many implored him to give them rights, conceded. He called the guards to stand down and made an impromptu speech from his balcony assuring his people that he would read their petition. Father Gapon was summoned, and Nicholas spent the evening questioning the priest and his ideals. Gapon convinced him to follow more in the footsteps of his grandfather, the conciliatory Alexander II.
The people returned to their homes and, that following Monday, to work. Nicholas began reform slowly, resisting political change, but allowing Gapon great power in organizing aid via the church and gifting him with substantial donations. As the war in the East continued poorly for Russia, Nicholas used propaganda based on the good deeds to keep the people in a tolerant mood. That August, he sent a delegation of Roman Rosen, Ambassador to Japan, and Sergei Witte, at one time Nicholas' most valued adviser and who had resigned because of the Russian efforts toward the East, to America to work a treaty with the Japanese. News of the end of the war brought great joy to Russia, especially with the generous terms the Russians were able to gain. Witte returned to Nicholas' government and guided the Tsar in formulating the October Constitution, creating a universally elected Duma less than two months later. While Marxists cried that the Constitution had not gone far enough, they were in the small minority as most held faith in their Tsar.
Over the next decade, Russia would see numerous reforms and public works projects, ending the depression that swept over the empire. The military was modernized, opening many new factories and well as academies where soldiers were trained in tactics rather than rushed through boot camps. Public schools opened in 1912, funded by taxation but built and initially operated by donation from Nicholas. Services became a large source of reform, managing food banks and coal repositories for long Russian winters, and pogroms were ended against the Jews while granting new rights to minorities. Gapon increased in influence with the Tsar, even eclipsing the Tsarina's favorite Rasputin.
During the World War, the Russian army was outmatched by the pressing forces of the Germans, but tactics enabled the soldiers to duplicate the defensive trench warfare strategy seen on the Western Front. While the war became essentially a draw, the Russians were able to secure good terms during the Treaty of Versailles in 1917. New stability followed Russia through the next ten years with booming trade in Russia's rich resources as Europe struggled to rebuild itself. During the Long Depression of the 1930s, Tsar Nicholas II would be admired for his government's organization in relief and building programs. His funeral in 1941 would be attended by nearly a million Russians while the nation mourned for a week over the lost Nicholas the Great.
In reality, Nicholas fled St. Petersburg, and the guards opened fire on the crowds marching in protest. While the Tsarists admitted 96 dead and 333 injured, estimates range up to 4000 deaths by gunfire and trampling. Rioting spread through the city, and Gapon closed his Assembly and left Russia. He returned in October as the concessions of the October Manifesto pointed toward brighter times, but he would be assassinated by the Marxists, who gathered great influence as faith in the Tsar drained from the people.

text: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 31, -- Spectra-Physics Inc. announced that Thermo Electron Corp., its majority stockholder, has completed a cash tender offer of $17.50 per share for any and all outstanding shares of Spectra-Physics common stock. In its Dec. 24 news release announcing the completion of the cash tender offer, Thermo Electron said the offer and withdrawal rights expired at midnight on Friday, Dec. 21. Equiserve Trust Company LP, the depositary for the offer, reported that Thermo Electron acquired approximately 3,631,895 shares of Spectra-Physics common stock in the tender offer, bringing its equity ownership of Spectra-Physics to approximately 93.6 percent. Thermo Electron also said it intends to acquire the remaining Spectra-Physics shares through a short-form merger after Feb. 22, 2002, when the restrictions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to any merger involving Thermo Electron and Spectra-Physics lapse. Once Thermo Electron completes the short-form merger, which does not require the approval of Spectra-Physics' board of directors or stockholders, Spectra-Physics common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq National Market According to Thermo Electron, Spectra-Physics stockholders who tendered their shares in the tender offer will receive payment for their shares shortly. Stockholders who did not tender their shares will receive $17.50 per share in the short-form merger, unless they decide to exercise their statutory appraisal rights. Shortly after Feb. 22, 2002, the remaining Spectra-Physics stockholders will receive detailed instructions outlining the steps that they must take in order to obtain payment or exercise their appraisal rights.

The importance of mapping the buyer's journey
If you run an eCommerce business, it should come as no surprise that not every person who lands on your website actually intends to make a purchase. Interestingly, the majority of e-tailers don't spend enough time trying to convert those with no intention to buy, considering them a necessary evil.
If you own an online store, you should be asking yourself who these non-purchasers are and what exactly is holding them back. Not only can the buyer's journey shed light on the issue, it can also help you optimize your site content, ensuring that consumers move through each phase of the process until they've actually made a purchase.
What is the buyer's journey and why does it matter?
The buyer's journey refers to the research process consumers undertake prior to making a purchase. As a consumer embarks on the path to purchase, online retailers must educate them so that they progress through each phase until they've been converted into an actual paying customer.
The path to purchase consists of three phases: awareness, consideration and decision. Because consumers require different types of information as they move through each phase of the journey, gaining a solid understanding of the various buyer personas you deal with as well as what information is meaningful to them at any given time is vital to the success of your business. Why? Because providing the right information at the right time to the right persona will help you engage consumers for a longer period of time, ultimately resulting in increased conversion rates and more sales.
Are you offering shoppers the right online experience?
Here are 10 ways to boost your site's conversion rates.
What content are consumers looking for?
1. Awareness
In the first phase, the consumer has come to the realization that they have some sort of want or need. They are not aware of your online business, nor do they know what they're looking for just yet. Their journey begins by conducting broad Google searches to acquire neutral, educational information that will allow them to zero in on what they want.
Because the consumer hasn't figured out what their pain point is yet and doesn't know about your business, you need to create brand awareness so that your online store lands on their radar. To do so, you should first ensure that your website content is optimized for SEO so that it shows up on Google's results page. The content in question should be informational as opposed to promotional such as blog posts, white papers or research reports.
2. Consideration
At this point in the journey, the consumer has defined what they are looking for and is ready to dig a little deeper. They conduct further research and comparative analysis based on their initial search results and begin interacting with the companies that interest them the most.
The consumer is not ready to be sold to just yet, but it's important for e-tailers to facilitate communication should they want the visitor to move onto the next phase of the journey. If your eCommerce solution offers a Live Chat feature, make sure to activate it. You should also ensure that your customer service department's contact information is made prominent on the pages that yield the most traffic.
3. Decision
Now that the consumer has a clear idea of what they want, it's time to convince them that your products or services are their best bet. To do so, you must present them with information that builds trust and that explains how your products or services work. You should also make sure your site's checkout process is as smooth, simple and pleasant as possible.
Case studies and customer reviews can help foster trust, while product comparison pages and detailed product descriptions are great for convincing a consumer of the superiority of your product offering. Interactive content such as live demos and trials for B2B customers and how-to videos for B2C customers are powerful and effective ways to show a consumer why they should purchase from you.
The duration of the buyer's journey depends not only on your product or service offering, but on the consumer and how quickly they can identify where to find what information they need on your site. Using the right CTAs to move consumers from one phase to the next and using marketing automation software that allows you to target each buyer persona through measurable email nurture campaigns can do wonders for your online store's conversion rates.

Bob: the wrasse master!
I do collect money but I always leave the window open
I leave front and back doors open.
Angels and butterfly get better return though.
I have found that juveniles do much better long term compared to transitioning adults. They are much easier to get eating and adapt to captivity faster.
- Nice collection!
I have C. bathyphilus, A. neoguinaicus, C. nahackyi pair, C. rhomboidalis, P. ataenia, P hexataenia , M. negrosensis, W. nigropinnata, and the collection is always growing!
A couple I missed , Melanarus , Lunare
My list (for now):
Pintail, Magma, Crescent, Moyeri, Christmas (Haw), Naoko, Tricolor, Melanarus, and Red Coris (probably will regret this one, but sometimes we all play fish Russian roulette.)
Ok...I'll play.

Coris is gonna be huge
He's in the larger tank with the Melanarus.. Not the "wrasse" tank which will all be smaller, peaceful wrasses. Naoko will have to move to the main tank as well.
But yes -- as I said I'll probably regret the Coris, but I'm hoping. I fell in love with him and told myself no, but somehow when I was driving home from the LFS he was on the seat next to me. I'm probsably going to have to rearrange the sand bed.
Ok - I'll play along too:
I only have a Christmas. A Yellow Coris is next on my list.
Every tank should have a yellow coris or maybe two.

Welcome to the official homepage of the DFG-funded priority program 1623 (Schwerpunktprogramm 1623)
"Chemoselective reactions for the synthesis and application of functional proteins"
In 2012 chemists, biochemists and biophysicists from all over Germany started this interdisciplinary research association. One of the main goals of this effort is the development of innovative methods for the synthesis of proteins with exceptional biological importance, in particular by combining chemical and molecular biological approaches.
Hereby, the priority program focuses on the generation of functional proteins like glycoproteins, histones and other proteins that play an important role in signal transduction. To elucidate the functional behavior of these proteins, they will be further modified by the addition of natural posttranslational modifications or biophysical probes. To achieve this goal, conventional molecular biological methods need to be complemented with chemical approaches. Therefore the priority program 1623 combines a broad methodical spectrum and expertise from groups all over Germany and focuses on a much-noticed, cutting-edge research area, which is expected to give important impulses for biological sciences and pharmaceutical applications.

After a busy National Scrapbook Day weekend I'm pleased to keep the excitement and ideas flowing by kicking off a fun-filled Blog Swap week with our friends over at Petaloo International! All week long, we'll be featuring ideas for Mother's Day, with their fun-and-fabulous Petaloo Floradoodles and our bright-and-happy Hello Spring collection!
First up from the Biker Chicks is Tania Willis with some Petal-icious cards! After you finish over here, be sure to hop on over to the Petaloo Blog for some more fun ideas. Leave a comment every day in both places for your chance to win a prize pack filled with goodies from Petaloo and Hello Spring!
Finally, if you're not already a fan of Petaloo, head on over to their Facebook Page and tell them LYB sent you, for more chances to win!
And now....here's Tania!
Are you ready to kick off what will soon be an amazing week of us Biker Chicks marrying Hello Spring with a fantastic assortment of Petaloo's flowers? I know I am. Today I want to share a few cards that you can easily duplicate in just a matter of minutes. One of them looks like it took a bit more time than the other, but I assure you that you can make BOTH of these cards in just 30 minutes and that includes drying time on the misted one!
Are you ready?
For this card, you'll need to cut one piece of raspberry pink cardstock to 7 x 10". Fold in half and crease to form a 5 x 7" card base. Then cut a piece of white cardstock to 4" x 5 ½". Lay the white cardstock on a 12 x 12 piece of chipboard or in a shallow box. Punch several small flowers using Fiskars Poppy Medium Lever Punch (or any other small flower punch you have) from a scrap piece of cardstock. Lay punched flowers, randomly spaced, onto the white cardstock. Mist with Art-C Red Glitter Mist until you have your desired shade. I misted heavier toward the top to give my piece sort of an ombre appearance (that doesn't really translate well in this photograph). Allow your misted piece to dry, then lift from chipboard and discard punched flowers. Adhere, right-aligned, to card base.
Then punch a 1" x 7" strip of orange cardstock with your favorite border punch. Adhere to a 1" x7" strip of HS – 109 Pretty In Plaid. Adhere to card base approximately ¼" from the left edge, slightly overlapping misted cardstock. Embellish with a butterfly from HS – 230 Clear Cut Shapes and several Petaloo flowers of various sizes. Add HS – 197 Jewel Stickers to the bodice of the butterfly. Then, finish off the card with the dimensional sentiment sticker from HS – 195 Dimensional Stickers and the "mom" sticker from HS – 140 Fresh Verse Stickers.
Rasberry Cardstock
Orange Cardstock
White Cardstock
HS – 109 Pretty In Plaid Patterned Paper
HS – 230 Clear Cut Shapes
HS – 197 Jewel Stickers
HS – 195 Dimensional Stickers
HS – 140 Fresh Verse Stickers
1313-019 Mulberry St – Embossed Daisies Chartreuse (Petaloo)
1350-210 Mini Florettes Hula Mnky (Petaloo)
This second card is lightning quick to put together. You'll need to cut one piece of light blue cardstock to 8 ½ x 5 ½". Fold in half and crease to form a 4 ¼ x 5 ½" card base. Cut a 4 ¼ x 5 ½" piece from the top of HS – 108 Teal Tweets paper and adhere to card base. Remove lavender journaling spot from HS – 1100 Tear Out Ticket Booklet. Adhere bird from HS -135 Favorite Pieces Stickers to lower left corner of ticket. Remove thin plastic backing from large white swirl from HS – 230 Clear Cut Shapes and adhere with a mini glue dot under the bird's beak. Adhere journaling spot to card aligning closer to the left side of the card base. Use few mini glue dots to secure the swirl in obscure places. Add "dream" sticker form HS – 140 Fresh Verse Stickers. Finish embellishing with three Petaloo flowers from the Flora Doodles – Tie-Dyed Gypsies pack.

State Laws on Human Cloning
Publication Date: May 2003
Publisher(s): Library of Congress. Congressional Research Service
Series: RS21517
Although numerous human cloning bills have been introduced in the 108th Congress and one -- H.R. 534 -- has passed in the House of Representatives, cloning legislation has yet to be enacted at the federal level. In the absence of federal legislation, state laws provide the only existing framework for regulating human cloning activity. Currently, nine states have enacted laws that expressly regulate cloning. This report provides a summary and comparison of existing state laws on human cloning, as well as a brief discussion of similar legislation currently under consideration in Congress. For related reports, see CRS Report RL31358, Human Cloning; CRS Report RL31211, Cloning: A Select Chronology, 1997-2003; and CRS Report RL31422, Substantive Due Process and a Right to Clone.

Oprah Creating A World Of Tolerance By Visiting A Hasidic Jewish Family In Brooklyn New York
Opray Winfrey Searches for Spirituality In The Homes of Black Hats and Long Skirts
News spreads like wildfire when a celebrity of Oprah Winfrey's magnitude investigates the other people's culture and religion. It's no wonder the video and television interview with Rabbi Motti Seligson went viral in the Jewish community and perhaps beyond.
Destroying Misconceptions
The scale of this act cannot be under estimated. Just as she felt intimidated at the appearance of religious orthodox Jewish men and had preconceptions of the women's role in the family as subservient, most people also have no idea about family life, daily, weekly and year round traditions.
Hasidim Live Holy Lives - Torah Is Their Guide
This peek into the lives of two Hasidic Jewish families' regular routines, like waking up with prayer, hand washing rituals, family meals gathering around the table, Sabbath practices, restrictions to children's exposure to American culture such as television, movies and electronic devices and the most important integration of the children's role as the focal point of orthodoxy may surprise and bewilder.
Creating A New View Of The Chosen People
How refreshing to hear Oprah's words as she spoke of the reverence for The People Of The Book, the Jewish people who brought monotheism and ethical principles of living into this world through their Exodus experience and the giving of the Ten Commandments at the foot of Mount Sinai. What a delight to hear how Oprah can appreciate the value of keeping the mezzuzah in the doorway as a reminder to all who enter that G-d lives here, and the One G-d rules over all humanity and the universe.
Begin Your Own Learning Journey
I encourage you to listen to her special interview when, I hope and pray, she eases the minds of those who fear the Jewish people, or blame them as scapegoats for all the misfortunes that befall people in this world.
Share With Others And Help Create A World Of Tolerance
I encourage you to share with your friends and discuss some of what she learned. Perhaps delve deeper into the practices of the Jewish people in order to reap the benefits of why they observe the Sabbath when and how they do in order to create more tolerance for those who may appear and practice different rites and religious practices.
Oprah Sunday February 12, 2012 Visits Jewish Hasidic Family in Brooklyn New York TUNE IN SUNDAY ON YOUR CABLE TV
May Her Name Be A Blessing
I feel that Oprah has brought a blessing into our lives by opening up this discussion and view of Jewish life. Many other celebrities before her have investigated all other religions and found peace and love within the Jewish religion. Jews do not proselytize and believe that every human has the potential to live a righteous life and gain entry into heaven by their acts in this world. They do not have to be converted. Each person has a personal connection with G-d. Knowing right from wrong has been given through the ten commandments and in the Noahide laws from the time of Noah.
View the wonderful interview with Rabbi Motti Seligson at Chabad.org the Lubavitch Chabad in Brooklyn, New York
First Look: Oprah's Next Chapter | America's Hidden Culture
The main take home messages she received was both that the family lives with purpose and remains the core and foundation of life in contemporary times while learning how to live in the world and retain G-d's spirit and guidance within our material world.
Many other spiritual seeking celebrities have been drawn to Judaism.
- Drew Barrymore may convert to Judaism before she marries fiance Will Kopelman,
- Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka, converted before she wed Jared Kushner
- Isla Fisher converted before she married Sacha Baron Cohen
- Madonna converted to Judaism and her Brazilian boyfriend Jesus Luz will also.
- Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism to marry singer Eddie Fisher
- Paul McCartney converted before his marriage to Nancy Shevell
- LeBron James, the basketball star greatly admires the work of Rabbi Schottenstein, who translated the Jewish Talmud into English, Hebrew, and French, which is now read by 2 million people around the globe. I'm not sure of LeBron's religion.
- Jon Gosselin is half Jewish and Half Korean

With so much attention directed towards Israel and the Jewish people today, it's no wonder that in the process of investigating many cultures and religions, Oprah had to seek and discover for herself.

Thank you for your comments and thoughts
Very interesting Hub. Oprah is an amazing woman - very open minded.
Regards, Elena.
Debby, I have to be honest... I was upset that Oprah profiled NJ's horrible governor Chris Christie. He's a bully, and her interview offered him legitimacy that he doesn't deserve. I love Oprah but that was a mistake.
Very interesting Debby! I think Judaism is a beautiful religion.
Very interesting Debby - I have always been interested in learning about other faiths. My step dad is Jewish - and so my half brother had a nice Barmitsva and I have learned a lot about sitting Shiva and things like that. I don't know why I find other people's religions so fascinating because I'm not religious. I've gone to a ton of different churches just to check them out - I have to admit I was a little surprised and freaked out by my visit to a denomination that spoke in tongues! I just couldn't figure out what they were saying! Lol
Excellent hub - I'm so looking forward to reading more from you:)
Hi Debby,
I have set my PVR to record Oprah's show. We need to celebrate and respect our differences.
Voted up and away!
Different religions are simply different paths to the same goal. I'm glad Oprah reminded us that this path was just as viable. Voting this Up and Interesting.
Very interesting hub, Debby. Oprah Winfrey is my favorite. You present this hub very well. I really enjoy this information and I learn something new from you about another spirituality side. God job and rated up!

The extension of scalars of a module along a homomorphism of rings is the algebraic dual of what geometrically is the pullback of bundles along a map of their base spaces (with respect to the discussion at modules - as generalized vector bundles).
Explicitly, extension of scalars along a ring homomorphism is the operation on -modules given by forming the tensor product of modules with regarded as an -module via .
There are similar functors for bimodules and in some other categories.
Let and be commutative rings and let be a homomorphism of rings.
We discuss extension of scalars along first general abstractly and then explicitly in components.
Write Mod and Mod for the categories of modules over and , respectively.
Given a ring homomorphism the restriction of scalars functor
is the functor that takes an -module to the -module whose underlying abelian group is that of and whose -action is given by
The restriction of scalars functor, def. , is the right adjoint in a pair of adjoint functors
The left adjoint in prop. is called extension of scalars along .
A further right adjoint would be called coextension of scalars along .
Given a ring homomorphism , the extension of scalars functor of def. is the functor
given by tensor product of modules with regarded as an --bimodule: the left action being the canonical action of on itself, the right being the restriction of scalars-action along .
Explicitly, for
the elements of are equivalence classes of pairs under the equivalence relation for all ;
the left -action is given by .
Under Isbell duality extension of scalars turns into a statement about geometry.
By definition the category
of (absolute) affine schemes is the opposite category of Ring.
Hence for a ring homomorphism, we have equivalently a morphism
of affine schemes.
An -module corresponds to the collection of sections of a "generalized vector bundle" over : something that has a quasicoherent sheaf of sections.
The pullback of this "bundle" along has sections forming the module .
Generally, for any fibered category like Mod we may regard the inverse image functor as the extension of scalars.
For that reason if there is some other fibered category over the opposite of some algebraic category whose objects are considered "objects of scalars" one is inclined to call the inverse image functor, the extension of scalars.
complexification is extension of scalars along the inclusion of the real numbers into the complex numbers.

Mao Zedong was born in was born in the village of Shaoshan on the 26th of December, 1893. He was the eldest child born to a prosperous peasant family. His family's wealth enabled him to attend school, and later he left for Changsha for more advanced schooling. Mao graduated from the First Provincial Normal School of Hunan in 1918. After graduation, Mao registered himself as a part-time student at Beijing University. While at the University, Mao attended many lectures and read numerous books that helped introduce him to Communist theories. Unlike many before him, Mao started to focus on studying the Peasant majority of China's population.
In 1923, Mao was elected as one of the five commissars of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Mao spent his days as a commissar in Shanghia, which is an important city that the CRC used for revolution. Mao became a proponent of violent revolution, and relied on Chinese peasants who later became staunch supporters of his political theories.
Since Mao was born a peasant, he used them as his primary base to promote his Marxist ideas. Unlike early Marxists, Mao had no intentions of spreading Communism all over the world.
In 1927, Mao conducted the Autumn Harvest Uprising in Hunan as the commander-in-chief of the "Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants". However, he was defeated harshly after a series of fierce battles. Tensions began to grow between the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party (KMT). Chiang Kai-Shek who had control over the majority of China was determined to eradicate the Communists. In October of 1934, he had the entire Red Army surrounded, and forced them to embark on the "Long March". During the Long March the Communists traveled from the southeast part of China to the northwest. During this 6,000 mile...

Fielding effectiveness (defensive skill) is the most difficult baseball skill to quantify with a number. Many of the criteria involved in calculating fielding stats are subjective. For instance, the term 'chances' is often used in compiling defensive stats but how do we know for sure if a player had an actual chance to catch or cut-off a ball? Events like at-bats, walks, getting on base; these are things we can clearly see happen, things we can count and include in forumlas dependably. Due to the arbitrary nature of defensive stats they are often considered with some measure of skepticism.
Fielding Percentage
Fielding percentage (FP) is the most basic of defensive stats and is subject to the range limitations of each player. The number is reached through this formula: putouts+assists+errors/total chances. To clear this up let me explain put-outs, assists & chances.
Put-outs: A player earns a put-out when he 1. catches a fly ball (including 3rd strikes) 2. tagging a runner out 3. tagging a base to force a runner out 4. being closest to a runner called out for interference.
Assist: Every player who touches the ball before an out is recorded is awarded with an assist (even if the defender contacts the ball unintentionally).
Total Chances: A 'chance' is essentially a putout, an assist or an error. Any time a player is involved in any way with a play it counts as a chance.
It is difficult to determine a players effectiveness only using this stat since a players range will dictate if they even go for a ball and it is recorded as a 'chance'. For instance, a slow outfielder will often not even reach balls hit in the gaps of the outfield. The slow outfielder will not be credited with a 'chance' since he will not come close to reaching the ball for an out. A faster outfielder may reach many more balls but bobble or mis-play a few and that will drive down his FP. Essentially, some defenders are penalised because they have greater range than others and attempt to assist with more difficult plays.
In 2010 the player with the best Fielding Percentage (minimum 100 games played) was Casey Kotchman with .999. Of the top 22 defenders in this category, stats ranged from .990 to .999.
Range Factor
In an effort to develop a statsitic that eliminates the arbitrary nature of the "total chances" variable, Bill James developed the Range Factor (RF) stat. This stat has it's own issues but let's first consider the formula: putouts+assists/innings. By using innings instead of chances, James is implying that the number of outs a player experiences on the field is more viable than the number of chances.
The limiting nature of this stat is clear when we consider that the number of encounters to defend is subjective to the position a player plays. The top 22 defenders in the RF category (2010 season) are all first basemen. (Of these 22 players, the RFs ranged from 8.51 to 10.53) This is because most outs that are batted end at first base. So, over the course of a season the first baseman will always have more put-out opportunities.
Another limiting aspect of this stat is how the overall defensive make-up of a team can skew an individual player's numbers. If a team has excellent defenders at second base, third base & shortstop then more put-out opportunities will be given the firstbasemen regardless of his defensive ability.
Also, as stated above, the fact that catchers get a put-out for catching a third strike can inflate some RF numbers. For instance, if a catcher plays for a team with great strikeout pitchers he will get credited for more put-outs through no defensive wizardry of his own.
These stats are not considered good measures of defensive ability on their own. Only when used together (and with other fielding stats) can they be useful for measuring a players defensive ability. In future articles we will review more defensive stats to get a clearer picture of how to judge defensive effectiveness.

At the same time financial advisory firm Seibel and Associates is arguing that the newest Financial Standards Accounting Board ruling and Sarbanes-Oxley aren't strict enough, a new McKinsey report says New York City and the U.S. could lose their status as the world's financial capital if Sarbanes-Oxley and the securities regulations are not revised and relaxed immediately.
According to this morning's New York Post, the report says NYC stands to lose 60,000 jobs in the next five years, not to mention the $25 billion in cash that Wall Street generates, if regulations are not revamped. Along with combating corporate fraud, the Act has also quadrupled public company accounting costs and sent IPOs to markets in Europe and Asia, the story says.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who have been leading efforts to see Sarbanes-Oxley revised, were on hand for the report's release. Among its recommendations: establishing a new financial services oversight panel in Congress, adopting "concise" guidelines for Sarbanes-Oxley implementation, and revising accounting standards and securities regulations in the U.S. so that they're more in line with their counterparts in Europe and Asia.
Seibel and Associates says accounting rules and reporting standards will be in place for a long time to come -- especially because shareholders are increasingly demanding more transparency from public companies. But if Schumer and other Sarbanes-Oxley critics have their way, tomorrow's accounting rules will be strikingly different from those under which companies operate today.

Speeding motorists in South Yorkshire racked up nearly 32,000 fines last year, it has emerged.
The 31,927 fines issued equates to more than one per 50 people living in the region, even before taking into account those who are too young to drive.
The most fines were issued to drivers in Sheffield, where 14,663 were doled out between the beginning of July 2016 and the end of June this year, recently published figures published by South Yorkshire Police show.
That was followed by Doncaster, where 6,761 fines were issued during the same period, Barnsley (5,395) and Rotherham (5,105).
Police revealed that more than 52,000 speeding offences were recorded in the region during that time, but not all of those resulted in a fine.
These figures do not include offences recorded on average speed cameras or Smart Motorways as police say these do not fall under a specific district.
Police also revealed 1,353 motorists were caught driving without insurance in the region during those 12 months, and 698 were caught using a mobile phone while driving.

In preperation for the fall festivel everyone has a job to do. We all drew our jobs. I got assigned to wolf hunting. In the fall the wolf population can get a little out of hand so we send hunters to lower the numbers. This year we have H'Raka, Erik, and my self Terios. We may not be the best hunters but I know my way around the wild as does H'Raka. We wernt sent alone we have a woods guide, Phillip, and an experianced hunter, Alliser.
Day 1
We found a few tracks but no wolves.
Day 2
No wolves
Day 3
No wolves
Day 4
We fianaly found a pack of wolves. We would have been fine except while hunting them we got ambused by a pack of goblins. The goblins were dressed in warm clothing and furs so they are obviosly from the northern mountains. What would they be doing here. We were not a match for their archers so Phillip told us to leave. I think I may have set a bad exsample as one of my spell arced and attacked one of the goblins. I need to work on controling that when in a battle but it is so hard. After that the H'Raka and Erik ignored Phillip and stood their ground and started to fight. I knew we need to get out of their so I grabbed H'Raka and told him to run with me. Erik waitd to long and got shot. He was lucky that H'Raka new how to heal or we might have lost him. After we got a ggod distance away we found a tree that we could set up camp in.
Day 5
Phillip and Alliser caught up with us. Alliser had quite the injury, he lost his arm in the fight with the goblins. They were glad to see us and told us they faught off the goblins and were able to find another pack of wolves. Alliser was impressed with Erik and gave him a goblin hand because when he stayed behind he killed a goblin before running. I hope he understand that even though he was praised that staying was not the smartest move. Alliser said that he was heading back to report on the goblins and that we should try to get one more pack before we head back. We were lucky and found a pack very quickly. We killed them quickly with no problem. I skinned the one I killed and was able to do a perfect job and made quite a nice cloak out of it just in time for winter.
We saw nothing else on our journy back. After returning we started to setting up for the first night of the fall festivle. I cant wait to have some fun after the last week.

We started the day with a delicious buffet breakfast at our hotel, at 8:00a.m., which really felt like 11:00 a.m. -- awesome.
Since this is my first time in San Fran, we decided to take a driving tour of the city.
Here I am at the top of the most crooked street in the U.S. You can see the crookedness much better from the bottom, but we stopped at the top, so that's the photo I have.
Here I am with Grandma -- age 95 and still going strong!
I snapped one of Dad when he wasn't looking.
I took 67 photos today (!) and since we have all seen photos of San Francisco, I'll try to be economical in my sharing.
The Castro
Aunt Gayle, Dad and me and the base of the Golden Gate Bridge
The Palace of Fine Arts, built in the early 1900's for a World's Fair -- This place is seriously gorgeous, and photos don't do it justice. I felt like I was in Italy or Naboo (Queen Amidala's homeland)
Aunt Gayle and me in Naboo
And finally:
San Franciscans LOVE their dogs, as evidenced by this three-part water fountain!

Fair Maid, Baynard Avenue, Cottingham, East Yorkshire, HU16 5AB.
The Fair Maid, Baynard Avenue, Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire HU16 5AB, UK
Initial Impressions
The Fair Maid is part of the Spirit Pub Company's John Barras Pub Company brand on Baynard Avenue in Cottingham. There is a substantial car park and a beer garden with the pub.
There is a cross between bar service and table service. It is possible to open a tab by providing a card to swipe on your initial visit to the bar, which then allows you to place more orders without having to leave the table; useful if visiting by yourself.
The Fair Maid was visited on a Friday lunchtime. The pub was fairly quiet, although not empty. Cutlery, napkins and sauce packets are available on the table.
The Food
The food ordered was from the main menu, although there are daily offers available. Some are available constantly; others are specific to a particular day.
Two Pepsis were ordered; one was a bottled drink, and one was a pint of draught. The pint could be upgraded from a smaller drink for £0.30 extra. The bottled drink was fine, although a bit on the small side, and the draught was as good as expected.
The starter ordered was a Combo for One. This consisted of two chicken wings, two chicken goujons, two onion rings, two slices of garlic bread, made from what appeared to be French bread, and Criss-Cross chips. This was served with a choice of Heinz Barbecue sauce or sour cream; the barbecue sauce was the one chosen.
There was a decent quantity of food in the starter for the price. The container of sauce was full and hadn't been skimped on. The garlic bread was fresh and hadn't been overcooked. Overall, the starter was the best part of the meal.
Main Course
The main course was a Barras Cheese and Bacon Burger. This consisted of two 4oz burgers in a toasted bap with lettuce, grated Cheddar cheese and bacon, served with chips, onion rings and a container of Heinz Barbecue sauce. The chips could have been upgraded to Criss-Cross chips for £0.79 extra.
This was far too dry. Both the bacon and the burgers had had all the juice cooked out of them, making them rather crispy. Possibly, for the burgers at least, this was because they were rather thin and so susceptible to overcooking. The cheese, however, hadn't been melted other than by the heat of the burgers and bacon. The lettuce was a bit sad looking. It was necessary to pour the barbecue sauce over the burger to moisten it up to eat.
For some unknown reason the burger and chips were served in a soup bowl, rather than on a plate. This made it difficult to eat with a knife and fork.
My Opinion
The two course meal came to £12.84 including the two drinks. Although, as mentioned earlier, you can open a tab which supposedly allows you to place additional orders from your table, it unfortunately didn't work out like this. It was necessary to go back to the bar if something else was wanted, which defeats the whole point of having the tab.
The food was at a reasonable price, but the service was below what was expected. The main course was only adequate at best.

Film Festival
in cooperation with Environmentalist Foundation of India
The Science Film Festival is a celebration of science communication and enjoys a unique position in Southeast Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. In cooperation with local partners it promotes science literacy and facilitates awareness of contemporary scientific, technological and environmental issues through film and television content with accompanying educational activities.
TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/229900637
The festival presents scientific issues accessibly and entertainingly to a broad audience and demonstrates that science can be communicated in an educational, as well as entertaining manner. The Science Film Festival 2017 takes place in 23 countries from October to December, 2017. In India we have selected 19 films for the festival. 11 films for the age group from 9 to 12 years and 8 films for the age group from 12 to 16 years. There will be activities accompanying all the films for which the teachers will be given a training by the expert.
Theme: ANTHROPOCENE
Welcome to the Age of Humans – agriculture, trade, transportation and industry. As long as humans have existed we have been utilizing and altering our environment Industrialization, in particular, has contributed to the unmistakable and often irreversible finger print that we are making upon the Earth.
Today, the human imprint is so deep and pervasive that scientists, policymakers and society are considering whether human-caused changes are affecting the geological record over the long term – whether we are, in fact, living in a new geological era called the Anthropocene.
Through selected topics such as urbanization, mobility, nature, evolution, food, and human-machine interaction, the Science Film Festival 2017 explores the past, present, and future of humanity.
A Science Film Festival for children and young students is being organized for the following age groups:
- Primary School (9 – 11)
- Secondary School (12 - 16)
The interested Schools/Institution will receive the Film list as per the age group offered and should send their choice to Goethe-Institut. In turn Goethe-Institut will give the films in DVD/Pendrive . The DVD /Pen drive will remain the responsibility of the school until returned to Goethe-Institut.
The School/Institution can select any date and time from 06.10.2017 to 18.12.2017 and accordingly inform Goethe-Institut about the screening.The School/Institution may also opt for multiple screenings to cater to maximum German learning students.
The selection of the Venue (may be in the school auditorium or even in bigger classrooms) is completely up to the discretion of the concerned School/Institution. However the screening has to be in a closed room.
- The participating School/Institution should agree to protect the privacy policy and abide by the copyright laws.
- The films should not be copied / pirated at any cost. Commercialization of the screenings is also prohibited. Doing so, could make all parties face legal proceedings.
- A mutual agreement, wherein all these clauses are mentioned will have to be signed by the school.
Interested schools kindly fill in the registration form and send your request to
email@example.com and to email@example.com before 15.10.2017.
CHASING CORAL | Dir.: Jeff Orlowski | 2017 | 90 min. | English
14.11.2017 | 11.00 am | Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Film Screening + Expert Talk by Dr. Diraviyam Raj, Associate Professor from Suganthi Devadason Marine Research Institute, Tuticorin and will be moderated by Dr. Jayshree Vencatesan from Care Earth Trust.
From the makers of "Chasing Ice" comes the remarkable adventure of one team capturing our changing oceans. Coral reefs around the world are vanishing at an unprecedented rate. A team of divers, photographers and scientists set out on a thrilling ocean adventure to discover why and to reveal the underwater mystery to the world. The film took more than three years to shoot, and is the result of 650+ hours underwater, submissions of footage from volunteers from 30 countries, as well as support from more than 500 people from various locations around the world.
