New mother Holly Madison reveals she is regaining figure with $80 compression belt
She's already lost 30lbs since giving birth almost four months ago.
But in a bid to lose her remaining post-pregnancy pounds, Holly Madison, 33, has turned to a compression belt device - which promises to help women get rid of their 'mommy tummy'.
The Belly Bandit - costing between $50 and $80 - is designed to be worn for six to eight weeks post birth.
Slimming effect: Holly Madison poses wearing a Belly Bandit, a compression belt designed to help new mothers regain their pre-pregnancy figure
It helps new mothers regain their figure by 'body shaping' through the application of 'medical-grade' pressure.
The compression also helps to flush body fluids away from the skin and reduce swelling, according to the makers.
Holly and her club promoter boyfriend Pasquale Rotella welcomed their daughter Rainbow Aurora in March.
No need to breath in: The former Girls Next Door was photographed on Wednesday in Las Vegas buying the contraption which promises to helps get rid of the 'mommy tummy'
Following the instructions: Holly, who gave birth four months ago, sits pretty with the belt fastened around her
The former Girls Next Door star and ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner was only too happy to try the device on for size as she shopped in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Holly was seen strapping herself into the belt in front of the cameras, before later emerging in a summery blue dress, wearing the Belly Bandit underneath.
The showgirl has taken a relaxed approach to getting back in shape after putting on 40lbs throughout her pregnancy.
Look, it works: To prove the point she changed into a pretty blue dress, wearing the Belly Bandit underneath
'Who cares if I still need to lose 10 pounds?' she recently told Life & Style magazine. 'I've been really healthy and done the best I could. I'm really proud of how I look right now.'
While mother-of-one Holly seems happy enough to lend her name to the Belly Bandit brand, one celebrity who wasn't was Jessica Alba.

Alba, who has three children with her husband Cash Warren, settled a lawsuit out of court with the company last year after accusing it of using her name without permission to promote a range of post-pregnancy products.
At the time TMZ reported that Belly Bandit offered cash and agreed to stop using Jessica in a bid to lure clients.
In October 2011, Alba sued in excess of $1million for using her name and image on their website.
At the time, Alba alleged: 'Defendant has knowingly and intentionally misappropriated and used the well known and internationally recognised name, image, likeness and photograph of Alba to market and sell Defendant's Belly Bandit post-pregnancy clothing and accessories... '
It seems Jessica didn't take kindly to the fabrication a fictitious testimonial, as well as Belly Bandit's claims: 'Jessica Alba's #21 Secret for a fast Post Pregnancy Slimdown!'

Showing off her stripes: Kylie Minogue continues her fashion parade in New York as she shows off her legs in mini-dress and red heels
She's spent the last week or so showing off her fashion credentials while spinning around in New York.
And Wednesday was no different as Kylie Minogue continued her style parade once more.
This time the diminutive pop princess opted to show off her legs as she strutted along in a black and white striped mini-dress.
Fashion conscious: Kylie Minogue continues her fashionable parade of New York by stepping out in a black and white striped mini-dress on Wednesday
And if that wasn't enough to make her stand out, the 45-year-old singer drew even more attention to her pins with the addition of red high heels.
She looked confident as she walked along glowing as she arrived at a building in Midtown.
Minogue completed her look with a white leather clutch bag while she accessorised with dainty gold jewellery and wore her locks down and wavy.
And Kylie had clearly had a lot of practice in heels as she even managed to at one point run along in the stilettos with onlookers watching her every move.
Strutting her stuff: Kylie stunned as she walked along in her bright red heels and carried a white clutch bag
Watch your step! She even managed to run along the streets in her stilettos, albeit with a helping hand
She did however have a small helping hand from a male member of her entourage who offered her a hand to keep her steady on her feet in her rush.
Ms Minogue was en route for an appearance on Entertainment Tonight to continue her promotional tour.
And even off duty she has been making an extra effort as she continues to get spotted wandering around the Big Apple.
Smiler: Kylie turned up to an appearance on Entertainment Tonight to continue her promotional schedule in the stunning get-up
Standing out: The red heels showed off her legs even more while she looked happy and glowing for the appearance
Just a few hours earlier on Wednesday she wore the same red heels but wore a slightly more dressed down look.
Although Kylie still looked stylish as she again wandered around the city before heading to a downtown hotel as she killed time before her next TV appearance.
The Spinning Around hitmaker wore rolled up jeans for her day time outfit, which she matched with a black floral top with bell sleeves.
She's brave: The singer jumped over a puddle while rushing to make her way to the TV studio
Stylish star: Ms Minogue grinned as she was spotted wandering along the streets of the Big Apple
She carried the same clutch bag and wore large shades for the outing as she continued her break in the city.
It has been one fashion conscious week for the star.
She strutted her stuff in not just one, but three fabulous outfits as she stepped out and about on Monday.
Day time variation: A few hours earlier she wore the same red heels and carried the same white bag but opted for rolled up jeans and a floral top
Flower power: Kylie wore shades to match the slightly hippy vibe as she arrived at a downtown hotel
And on Tuesday, Kylie Minogue made sure to continue her week of sartorial success as she positively glided through New York City in a sexy sheer lingerie-inspired jumpsuit.
It's been a busy week for the diminutive pop star, with her jetting to New York just hours after attending Rihanna's Diamonds gig at London's Twickenham Stadium on Saturday night.
Writing on her Twitter page on Sunday night, she said: 'Hello #NYC ..... Who will I see at @Saks #KylieFashion book signing tomorrow??'

Filling her belly with laughs! Make-up free Liv Tyler and son Milo enjoy giggles with chef friend Mario Batali
With his mouth-watering Italian recipes, perhaps it's a good thing she has quit her vegan ways.
But instead of filling Liv Tyler's stomach with carbohydrate-packed food on Tuesday, pal Mario Batali gave the actress plenty of ab-busting giggles.
The 35-year-old beauty was spotted cracking up at the culinary expert's jokes as they stood in New York City's West Village.
Lots of laughs: Liv Tyler and son Milo met chef Mario Batali in West Village, New York City on Tuesday
But much of the belly laughs seemed to come from the kitchen whiz's preferred form of transport.
As she waited on the sidewalk with her eight-year-old son Milo, the star's make-up free face visibly changed as she noticed her friend coming along.
Liv stood casually in a pair of electric blue leggings and trainers with a star-embellished T-shirt and began to chuckle as Mario pulled up beside her.
On the lookout: The 35-year-old and her young boy were spotted waiting for him
Funny arrival: Liv found her friend's appearance rather funny
She covered her eyes in dark sunglasses and wrapped her arms around her little boy with her British musician ex-husband Royston Langdon of the band Spacehog.
Even the youngster seemed impressed with the Vespa and checked out the wheels before the adults high-fived each other.
Before the quick chat ended Liv lifted up her eyewear and went in for a hug from her pal.
High five: The star and the chef gave each other a slap across the palm
Fresh-faced: Liv appeared to be going make-up free for the outing as she hugged Mario
Liv didn't appear to be visiting any of his 11 Big Apple eateries although she is likely to have sampled many dishes now she has resumed eating meat.
The model-turned-actress can next be seen in the movie Space Station 76, a science-fiction drama/comedy due out next year.
Liv leaped to fame in 1993 starring in her father Steven Tyler's video for Aerosmith track Crazy.
Single mother: Liv's son is with her musician ex-husband Royston Langdon
Put one here! Even eight-year-old Milo seemed impressed with Mario's set of wheels

Just bought a new TV? It's already out of date: HD, 3D, forget it! New screens 15 times sharper will mean the pictures are as clear as real life
There was indignation from many viewers recently when Dean Bell — the foul-mouthed, unemployed 'star' of Channel 4's latest so-called reality documentary, Skint — was shown spending £2,500 of his social security benefits on … a new TV.
But one wonders what Bell's reaction will be to the news that his pride and joy — a 47in high-definition affair that shows programmes in 3D, connects to the internet and uses a 'magic' remote with voice recognition — might be past its sell-by date within a year or two.
Are today's top-of-the-range HDTV sets about to become yesterday's technology? That, at least, is what television manufacturers hope and believe.
Out of date: Jim Royle (Ricky Tomlinson) holding a TV remote control
They are putting their faith in a potentially enormous development in TV technology that, they trust, will see millions of us ditch our current sets in order to buy swanky new ones.
Prepare yourself for Ultra-High Definition TV — known as UHD — which delivers pictures so crisp, colourful and realistic that, experts say, we may in future have trouble separating in our memories those things we saw on screen from those that happened in real life.
Gimmicks come and go, but true revolutions in TV do not happen too often. The emergence of colour TV in 1967 was one such step change.
The advent of flatscreen TVs more than a decade ago was another cue for people to upgrade: how many people do you know who still use a big fat cathode-ray telly as their main TV? And then, of course, there was the move from analogue TV to digital.
A few years ago, the TV companies thought they'd found their holy grail with 3D TVs. But that has proved an expensive flop.
If you go into a big TV store today, you will find plenty of TVs that happen to offer 3D — but the idea of wearing silly glasses in your living room has never taken off. (If a telly does offer 3D, it's ranked as attraction number four or five on the shop's checklist of features, just above the one that tells you what sockets are included on the back of the set.)
Ultra HD TVs like this massive 84 inch LG model boast astonishing picture clarity with images that are said to be four times sharper than current high definition TVs
So what is UHD? Why is it different, and what does it mean for our television viewing?
Currently, millions of us watch 'high definition', or 1080HD, television. The picture on such a screen contains around two million pixels, as the tiny dots that make up the picture are known.
Two million pixels might sound like a huge number, but in this day and age it's not that impressive. When you consider that TV screens have been getting bigger over the years — it's not uncommon to see 50 in screens in ordinary homes — the relatively small number of HDTV pixels results in pictures that aren't as clear as the original purveyors of high-definition promised.
But Ultra High Definition stops television looking like television. It just looks like real life — as though the screen were not there and you were simply looking through an open window at the scene.
Later this month, the BBC and Sony will be carrying out a joint experiment at the Wimbledon Championships. Unknown to any but a handful of viewers, the Corporation will be filming some of the action with a set of Ultra High Definition cameras.
These cameras will be taking video containing not two million pixels per screen, but eight million.
The Corporation conducted a similar experiment at last year's Olympics, in partnership with the Japanese public broadcaster: only that time it was experimenting with an even higher definition picture, with more than 33 million pixels —more than 16 times as many as today's supposed 'high definition'.
Meanwhile, Sky has been experimenting, too. Last October, it recorded one of Arsenal's Champions League matches in UHD. And its recent natural history programme about penguins, narrated by David Attenborough, was also shot in UHD.
The big advantage of Ultra HD for consumers is that they can be placed anywhere in the room because the big screens look good even from close up (file picture)
So what difference do these millions of extra pixels make? Iain Baird is curator of broadcast culture at the National Media Museum in Bradford. Rather brilliantly, he is also grandson of John Logie Baird, the inventor of television.
Iain was one of a select few who were allowed by the BBC to watch the live UHD pictures of the 2012 Olympics as they came in. He says the images were 'astounding'. 'It was like sitting inside the stadium,' he says. 'They only had two or three cameras, and there was no commentary, or graphics, or instant replays, so you didn't get the production values you'd normally get in a sports programme — but the picture quality was amazing.
'The detail was remarkable. You could see individual expressions on every person in the crowd.'
Others, too, speak highly of the experience. Technology expert Steve May, who has been writing about the television industry for 25 years, says it's important to realise the significance of UHD.
Next year's football World Cup in Brazil will be the first major event to be broadcast in full Ultra HD
'People don't have a real appreciation for what this all means. When you go to a cinema and watch a digital movie projection of a Hollywood film, it was shot at two million pixels. So moving to eight million pixels is going to have a fantastic effect on the way we watch TV.'
He's seen a lot of supposedly must-have technologies, but this, he says, is a real revolution. 'It's a much more photographic experience. The sense of texture is much more pronounced. It's wonderful.'
May says that because the picture is so much more detailed, we may all want much bigger television screens to take advantage of the superior picture.
'At the moment, 50 in screens are quite common, but within a couple of years 70 in will not be uncommon,' he says.
In fact, LG and Sony are already selling sets with 84 in screens. To put that into some sort of perspective, an 84 in screen measures 7ft from the top left to the bottom right. Imagine 6ft 5in John Cleese lying diagonally across your TV, wearing a 7 in top hat. That's how big it is.
May explains that UHDTV works best if you get so close that the image fills your whole field of vision. 'That way, it's all you can see — a much more immersive way of watching TV.'
Baird adds: 'When we watch TV at the moment, we still have to suspend our disbelief — in the sense that we know we are looking at a television, whatever the programme. That effort is part of the experience of viewing.
'But UHD will change that. It will make TV more difficult to differentiate from reality — which will mean that it could become difficult to separate out memories of what we've seen on TV from our memories of real life.'
To some of us, that might not seem like an attractive prospect. There are other pitfalls, too. First, cost. Sony's 84 in UHDTV, which is available now, sells at £24,000. The LG equivalent is £17,000. That's an awful lot of money to spend.
Are today's top-of-the-range HDTV sets about to become yesterday's technology?
But prices are likely to fall very quickly. When flatscreen first launched in 1997, a 42 in TV cost around £10,000. Now, you can pick up an equivalent telly for as little as £350 — or 3.5 per cent of the original cost.
The 84 inch gigantic screen is almost triple the size of average 30inch large television.
It weighs 14 stone - the equivalent of 6ft5in Olympic Gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt.
Ultra HD picture is four times sharper than normal HD and double that of latest Hollywood films shown in cinema.
10 powerful speakers provide cinema-quality surround sound.
Five pairs of 3D glasses are provided for family to watch.
It can convert normal television pictures into 3D.
Two pairs of split screen glasses allow users to see only one film while TV is split and showing two at the same time.
A voice recognition and motion remote rather than a remote control handset.
Built-in wi-fi allows thousands of movies and shows to be downloaded and played from the internet.
It has Skype allowing video calls across the world.
Video and music content can be streamed onto the television from a mobile phone.
The second problem is more fundamental. If you buy a UHD set today, there is no ultra-high-definition television to watch on it. The BBC and Sky may be filming an event here or there in UHD, but they are physically unable to broadcast the material to the rest of us.
Sure, your new TV will convert the standard HD signal into something sharper, more impressive, but it won't be an ultra-high-definition picture.
It's believed that the Hollywood studios are busy getting big movies ready for UHD formats, but it's unlikely there'll be any UHD programming on TV for at least two years, perhaps longer. And no broadcaster will guarantee its arrival, even in principle.
But the sensible money is on any problems being ironed out — and pretty soon. Why? Because the TV manufacturers desperately need UHD to work.
Some of the biggest names in TV are in a terrible mess financially. Sharp made a loss of £3.5 billion last year, and warned investors that the future of the company could be in 'material doubt'.
Meanwhile, Sony has only just returned to profit after five loss-making years. Incredibly, the company makes more money from its life-insurance business than it does from selling TVs.
Steve May says: 'There's a big drive to get us to want this. There are a number of big consumer electronics companies that have a vested interest in getting us to upgrade our screens, otherwise they'll go out of business.
'And Hollywood wants it to take off, too, so it can sell us all those movies we've bought on video, then DVD, then Blu-Ray, one more time — in UHD.'
If this latest TV revolution is as dramatic as it sounds, we may not be able to resist.

What feud? Smiling Selma Blair puts on a brave face after reports Charlie Sheen 'fired her from Anger Management'
She has been reported to have been 'fired' from Anger Management by her co-star and the show's producer Charlie Sheen.
But Selma Blair looked distinctly unruffled on Monday as she stepped out smiling with her toddler son Arthur.
The 40-year-old star seemed to be making a big effort to appear happy as she carried the 23-month-old youngster through the studio city area of Los Angeles.
Scroll down for video...
Putting on a brave face: Selma Blair smiled broadly as she made her way through a parking lot in Studio City with her baby son
Sporting a casual striped blue shirt with jeans and plimsolls, Selma waved and smiled as she carried Arthur back to her car following a shopping trip.
It has been reported that Charlie is refusing to shoot the FX show if Selma is present on the set after the pair had a huge falling out.
Charlie, 47, is even said to have fired the 40-year-old actress after allegedly hearing reports that she'd 'badmouthed' him to executives at the network.
Give us a wave: Selma made every effort to appear unruffled by the latest rumours about her employment status
Carry on smiling: Selma is rumoured to be 'at war' with Charlie Sheen after ructions on the set of Anger Management
According to
Selma told bosses that she doesn't rate Charlie's work ethic and complained that he's often late.
When he found out, Charlie allegedly complained that as the star of the show he has '40 pages of lines per episode compared to her two.'
He then fired the actress, though it's not clear he's actually in a position to do this, and told bosses he wouldn't show up to work on Monday if Selma was still attached to the project.
Shop til I drop: Selma later took her son out for lunch after their shopping trip, according to onlookers
Still in a job? Selma has not yet responded to rumours about her future with the FX show
Replacement? Charlie is reportedly lining up Mila for a role in the show
What's more, TMZ also contend that Charlie wants to hire Mila Kunis - the girlfriend of his Two and a Half Men replacement Ashton Kutcher - at $1 million dollars per episode.
Mail Online have yet to hear back from Selma's spokesperson.
The actress has been a hit as Charlie's best friend Kate, a fellow therapist with whom Charlie's character has an ongoing sexual relationship.
The pair's on-screen chemistry has been praised copiously by TV critics.
Charlie's character is a therapist specialising in anger management, and took on Cee Lo Green in one hilarious episode - only for the musician to interrupt his love-making with Selma.
The show, which began last June after Charlie was fired from his sitcom Two and a Half Men, is currently in its second season.
It has featured guest appearances from Denise Richards, Lindsay Lohan and Brian Austin Green.
Chemistry: The pair worked well on screen, but apparently things weren't so rosy behind the cameras

Today is my birthday and we're going out!!!
We got the bus to here....
And then walked up the road a bit a met a Robot!!
Oh here we are! Brighton Station again!
We had time to have a little boogie on the piano before we got the train!!!
AND we got a window seat as well!! I like window seats!
Jelly Beanie says he likes window seats too because he's never got the train before!!!
An this is a Viddy-Oh I made of Jelly Beanie on the train! He loved the view!!
This viddy oh, we're going down the side of Green Park!!
This Viddy oh is us crossing the River Thames!
The train was about 10 minutes late but we didn't mind. We weren't in a rush!!
We used the Facilities at the station and left a CD on the door!!!
And then we got a bus!!!
We tied a tag to one of the seats!!
And we got off here at Somerset House to see an expedition!!!
And there was a Moo Vee crew in the Courtyard!!! They had signs up saying don't worry if you hear gunshots, it's not real guns and they're not really dead. We're just playing!
Then we went in to see the Rodin expedition and got £4.50 off the entrance ticket with our art pass!!!
Just as well really because it was a bit boring. It was only in two rooms, and was lots of pencil & watercolour sketches of dance positions. There was also some plaster casts Rodin had made of arms too. In fact, the only interesting bit was a couple of pictures of Nijinsky when he did the Rites of Spring dance for Diagilhev in Paris that really annoyed everyone at the time. Apparently Nijinsky modelled for Rodin at the time and some plaster casts were made from them which didn't get found until 1958 and then little bronzes were made.
So after that we decided to get another bus.....
And we left a tag on there too!!!
We went past lots of interesting buildings.....
That's St James's Palace, you know. Somebody very rich lives in there.
And we got off here...... and then it was a short walk.....
To Horrids!!! I'm having a birthday lunch in Horrids!!! With my cousin Jelly Beanie!!!!
And they decorated it specially!!!!!
First we had a look round and did a spot of shopping and then we got a bit lost...... so we went outside....
And took the side entrance to Laduree!!! Huzzah!
We go a fizzy drink....
And we got a Burger each!!! With fat fries!!
After that, we had a couple of hours to spend gadding about before we came home, so we got another bus.
And left another tag on it!!
We made another Viddy Oh going round Hyde Park Corner and Constitution Hill!!
And we got off here at the Ritz!
But we went in here instead!
And had a hot chocolate. Arntie Giselle had a hot chocolate here last week and we got jealous. So we came back again to have one today. It was yum!
We used the facilities here too and left them a CD!
(Ed's note: this has been claimed HERE)
That's Fortnum & Masons over the road.
It's an interesting road, this one!
This is Piccadilly Circus, Jelly Beanie!! Isn't it exciting?!?!?!
"Yeah, Tis!"
After having a good ol' look see, we decided to get another bus back....... and they got a tag too!
This viddy oh, we're going down the side of Green Park!!
And we got off here!
And then walked down to here
Then it was time to get our coach home. And we got Jaffa Cakes!!! Hurrah!
And we're off!
That's quite a fancy bridge isn't it?!
This Viddy oh is us crossing the River Thames!
After a while, we got hungry.....
....and then it got dark....
....and REALLY dark!!! We all had a bit of a snooze!
All of a sudden they put the lights on! (We'd tied a tag to the seat in front!)
That's Brighton Pier!!
And the next stop was ours!! We're home!!!
After we'd gone in and unpacked our shopping, we sat down for dinner.
Andrea said she had a special present for me......
IT'S A FALLING OVER CAYKE!!!! That's my FAVOURITE!!!!!
What's in it?
(Ed's note: please don't say anything, but I dropped the box accidentally, whilst putting the cake in the fridge. It's supposed to be dome shaped, and it's called a Mont Blanc)
YUMMMMM!!! It's got a meringuey bottom and lots of cream and mushed up chestnut and a marron glace on the top!! I LOVE IT!
Go on, Jelly, you have some too!
Isn't it brilliant?!?!?!
Let's eat it all before Andrea notices ......... !!!!
(Ed's note: it didn't last long!!! And I didn't even get to lick the plate....!)

"We would consider your application and we will call you in case you are selected" she looked at me and that one straight expression was enough for me to understand that there wouldn't be any call.
I came back dejected from another interview for a customer support job.
Now, here I was supposedly considered good at academics, not bad looking and with a great work history. I wanted to move to a customer facing job from a back office one and was thus interviewing for the same but strangely found rejection at all three companies that I had applied to.
I had much reason for a worry. During one of the late night conversations with my elder sister, I explained to her that may be this job wasn't my cup of tea and my credentials might not be appropriate for such an employment opportunity. However, deep in my heart I so much wanted to get that role. The answer she gave me shocked my scariest senses. She told that I may love the work that this job offered, I may also have the academic credentials required for the position but I may not be presentable enough to work on a front facing role – may be in terms of my communication, appearance, dressing style and a hundred other reasons.
After hanging up, I went in front of the mirror – and there it was my eureka moment. I realized what has gone wrong with the dead ends hanging low at the end a frizzled mess of black hairs. Gone were the lustrous strands my mother had cared for and nourished when I was a child. The pollution of the cities, the tensions of life and the usual ignorance has taken its toll on my hair.
I badly need to recharge my hair and I believe there is reason enough this would provide me the much needed shine in my appearance to get my dream job.
This entry is brought to you by theSunsilk and Indiblogger.

One way to tie a square scarf is to bias band fold the scarf, then make two loops before pulling one end into a bow shape. While there are many ways to tie a square scarf, this style, called the butterfly wrap, goes well with many outfits.
- Make a bias band fold
Lay the scarf out on a flat surface with the wrong side up. Fold one corner of the scarf so that the point lays in the center of the scarf. Fold the opposite corner so that it touches the folded-down edge from the first fold. Now, you should have two folded edges and two points. Fold one of the edges towards the center of the scarf. Fold the other to the opposite edge.
- Drape the scarf
Put the scarf around your neck so that one-third of it is to your right and two-thirds of it sits to your left.
- Make first loop
Cross the longer section of scarf to the right, over the smaller section of scarf. Pull the longer section under and through the neck loop, pulling it up from beneath your chin. The longer section should still lay to the right.
- Make a second loop
Wrap the longer section of scarf around the smaller section by going under from right to left and over from left to right. Before completing that motion, tuck the longer section of scarf going from left to right between the smaller section of scarf and the loop formed when the longer section of scarf wrapped under the smaller section. Pull the longer section of the loop and the smaller section of loop tight so that the end of the longer section is trapped under the knot, with the rest of it forms a fan-like butterfly shape.

"Not in our Town".. An anti-hate group in billings is holding a MLK service this Sunday to remind people how Dr. King's message is relevant for today, with the social issues our country faces.
When tackling the issue of racism and other social equality matters, "Not in our Town Billings" board member, Fitzgerald Clark, says we need to be "upstanders", not "bystanders".
Clark says it may not seem like racism is alive in Montana, but it is.
He says at Saturday's event they'll be talking about how to be an "upstander" like dr. King was.
"A bystander, just stands by the sideline, while the activities of life, the injustices happen, Fitzgerald Clark, Not in our town Billings, board member, says. "The upstander will actually take a stand, to say this is not ok, and to lend a hand to the victims of whatever strife is happening, and to help them up."
Abena Lane, one of the speakers for Saturdays event, says she believes Dr. King's message applies to today in that we have to stand up against intolerance regardless where it comes from, and who it's coming from.
"If you want change to happen, we have to come together, and start that change. If not you, than who?" Lane says.
The MLK Interfaith service is on Sunday, January 14 at Wayman Chapel in Billings at 3PM.

26th July
A rather warm day to be inside discussing books but far too hot to be outside in the garden. The novel today was "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne. This has been made into a film. It is a disturbing story which was written for teenagers as well as adults. To a certain extent, the fact that our generation is aware beforehand of the circumstances the author is describing will have given us a different slant to that of a youngster approaching the book; a person who has been spared the details of the horror of the holocaust. The innocence of the young boys in the story as they are pulled into the cruel world produced by the conflicting ideologies of their elders is so sad. And then that last hanging statement of the novel. "Of course all this happened a long time ago and nothing like that could ever happen again. Not in this day and age." Written in 2006 by an Irishman it reveals the true message behind the book which applies just as poignantly now-a-days in many lands further away from home.
23rd July
I visited the Mid-Devon County Agricultural Show today and as you would expect I had a look at the WI tent. The Federation had its own large marquee which also housed the Country Markets. The displays were impressive and the competitive inter-WIs contributions were exciting a lot of interest and comment. Obviously the WIs were set a theme but they were given a larger area in which to display their entries. The frames were deeper so didn't look so "busy"/crowded as ours tend to do at the Bucks Show. The WI Advisers were doing their promotional work and there was an interesting stall set up for the Denman College Appeal and ACWW.
13th July
The discussion group met tonight over a glass of wine to talk about the emergency services. Once again it is surprising the amount of voluntary work which is included within what one would expect to be a state system. We were full of admiration for the scope of the services available, ranging from the air ambulance to the new first response cars. We also acknowledged the way in which big business and industries respond to the needs of people caught up in floods and disasters. The discussion also afforded us time to tell members about the local emergency scheme which operates across counties in which the WI plays its part. Many WIs have a list of trained members who are willing to make themselves available if an emergency arises in the neighbourhood, such as major transport accidents. One doesn't need to have medical expertise: the ability to get to a village hall or school which has been set up as a relief centre, to make and receive phone calls, to listen or just to serve refreshments and provide a calming influence, may be all that is required. Fortunately, one may never be called upon but the hospitals and police really appreciate help in these ways so that they can get on with the jobs we cannot do.

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday lashed out at Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati for lampooning the Samajwadi Party`s laptop scheme, saying the opposition leader is not in a position to talk when she had spent crores of rupees installing statues glorifying self rather than using those funds for the state`s development.
"Today, the money of the people is being used for the welfare of students, farmers and building of hospitals. If new medical colleges are being built and run, over 350 students have got the opportunity to get an MBBS degree. They (BSP) have become afraid of the achievements of the Samajwadi Party Government," he told media here.
Mayawati had earlier in the day criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP) Government in Uttar Pradesh for distributing laptops to students, and described it to be a political gimmick to divert the attention of the people from the deteriorating law and order condition in the state.
"People of Uttar Pradesh are very unhappy with the law and order situation and lack of development activities. Law and order situation in UP is worse than what media reports, especially women are really suffering," Mayawati said.
"But to divert attention from the crumbling law and order situation, this SP government starts distributing free laptops, and these laptops are mostly given to students who are associated with Samajwadi Party workers," she added.
Akhilesh Yadav, who distributed free laptops at Lucknow University here today, said that it would help youngsters get good jobs.
The Uttar Pradesh Government`s ambitious free laptop scheme to class XII passout students is a part of the Samajwadi Party`s election pledge.
Yadav has distributed 80,000 laptops so far.

Markle provides an uncommon look at polar bears, the largest hunters on land, in this narrative that follows an orphaned cub barely old enough to survive on her own.
Trapped on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Sea, waiting late into the fall for the annual floating pack ice to form, she and other polar bears subsist on the few animals they can find—typically only birds and walruses, as a note on global warming explains at the back. No big gestures or overt drama about the effects of climate change here, but a focused, simple look at how polar bears survive during so much of the year, when there's no ice to help them in their hunt for seals in the Arctic waters. Marks' realistic watercolor-and-pencil illustrations in blues and grays show a spare landscape and just enough detail to link the bear cub with the text. Bright spots of red on a walrus calf captured and killed by an older bear and on the dead bird found by the cub are subtle reminders that the bears are predators and carnivores. The language is straightforward, simple and clear, offering only the hope that the cub will survive the winter. An author's note, polar bear facts, sources for more information and a discussion of global warming provide extensions to the story.
Sturdy and well-put-together nature writing for younger readers. (Informational picture book. 4-8)

Bunkai - A Dojo 1.x interactive workbench
If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I have a pendant for visual designers. My last project - JDA Composer - tried to do too many things at once, and so it was hard to understand at first glance. Now I'm trying another tack, restricting me to just one thing - Dojo.
My goal is to create a small, comprehensive editor which shows things from two mutually communicating perspectives; 1) the html/js code editor, 2) The 'scree' area where dojo widgets show up.
What this means is that you'll be able to write something in the editor, click save, and it will be rendered immediately. But it also means that the rendered widgets will be editable (according to what properties the widgets (OK, dijjits :) have defined, moved about (if not restricted to a layout container) and resized (again, if allowed by layout). All changes in the visual side will immediately be communicated back to html source code in the editor.
That way, I hope it will be simpler to understand, and as a programmer you'll feel that you're in control, even though there is an element of visual composition.
Right now, I have only completed a proof-of-conecpt implementing the first part, which works quite all right. It's just two days work, after all.

Hi Tom. It's over a year old now, and not really maintained anymore. It's also very quickly slammed together, not my best work :) But it kind of works, still. I've moved it here;

Over 13,000 new slot machine licenses will be made available for California Indian casinos. The ruling came earlier this week from a federal judge that ruled in favor with a tribe in Valley Center.
Gambling Tribes and the state have argued over the amount of slot machines allowed to legally operate in California. The original agreement in 1999 was vaguely worded causing different interpretations by both parties.
The original amount of allowed slots were 32,151. Last year a judge had approved an increase to 42,700. As of Wednesday, the total has been raised to 55,952 by Judge William McCurine Jr.
Harrah's Rincon Casino and Resort is owned by the Rincon Band of Mission Indians. The tribe sued the state in federal court. Fighting that the governor was forcing the tribes to negotiate larger payments for the state by keeping a lower slot machine license limit.
The tribe claimed that would cause an illegal tax on tribes.
Return to California Casinos.

Our poor neighborhood Himalayan stray, aka Fluffernutter, as Husband and I call her, finally brought her tinies to play in our yard - one is a little shy, but one let me pick her up and give her a little love. As always, if you have room for some adorable fluffies and you are in the Columbus area, please let me know. I don't want these tinies to end up like their Mother!! They are half Himalayan, but they only have partial pin-cushion faces - the best of both worlds.
The shy one, before he notices me:
Can you even believe how cute I am?

Woo Hoo! I have signed up for the Cycle Oregon 2012 edition, that odd mix of pleasure and pain.
My buddy Tim and I had discussed doing the Cycle Oregon this year, thinking back on our last Cycle Oregon in 2002. That ride remains a good memory, with both friends and family participating, including both of my sons Jon and Ben, my friends Tim and Mark, and my Dad, at age 72. This year promises to be more difficult, with more climbing than in 2002.
Tim called me a few hours before the registration opened and said, "Let's go for it", and advised me to sign up quickly, because it is limited to 2,200 cyclists, and it was expected to fill up rapidly this year. We signed up, as it turned out in the nick of time: Registration was closed within 48 minutes of its opening! The registration occurred so quickly that I was unable to get my son Ben registered, also: Disappointment!

the 20's
Hello where were the pessimists when I needed them!!!! No one told me that my 20's were gonna be so confusing and hard also they aint getting any easier!! Please someone tell me that it gets easier!! They told me they go fast and boi are they but no one told me about this struggle I thought going to university would make it easier for me!!!!
First off trying to figure out a career path that you want to be on (I went through three years of university completed my degree and didn't know what I wanted) it's now been 2 years since I have graduated and I'm still confused!!! I'm working in retail as a manager (I aint no student bum) in a store where I use to work while I was at university but this really aint where I want to spent the next 40 years of my life!!! Please don't tell me I'm the only one!!!! The careers I want to do now I can't because I can't afford to go back to university to do a teaching PGCE and the other is a personal trainer and you better believe I don't have 3 grand lying round to pay for that!!!!!!!
Secondly moving out - stressful - am I the only one who knew the oldies paid for so much man I used to help round the house and we all chipped in for bills and stuff because you better believe I didn't come from any rich family or rich area!!! This council area I grew up in and in Asian households its common for everyone to help out buy food pay bills split bills etc etc...

Its finally spring! I love spring because I get to go outside and explore. I always check out Mommy's flower pots and the garden beds, because Mommy grows NIP. The other day I found a pot of Nip that was looking just right. It was all fresh and green and smelled delightful!
So, I hopped up in the pot and settled down to enjoy myself in my bed of Nip. It was Heaven!!
I soon started feeling really mellow….. see my eyes? Mommy grows some good nip!
Now I ask to go out every day so I can keep an eye on my pot of nip.
I love you, Mommy!

Peppa, Olivia and Friend.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we're getting our two piglets today. My wife accompanied her Papa to his brother's house to fetch the piglets while my son and I went on our morning walk.
While walking, my son and I talked about naming the piglets. I said that since we would be getting two females for breeding, it would be perfectly fine to name them; I'd have trouble naming an animal that I was raising to eat.
It was decided that one would be named Peppa and the other Olivia. Anyone who does not understand the references can click the links and be lead to the explanations.
We arrived home shortly before my wife returned from picking up the piglets. Upon her arrival, we discovered a mix up had occurred. My wife and her Papa picked up 3 piglets.....two for us and one for her Papa. Due to some misunderstanding, they got one female (aka gilt) and two castrated males (aka barrow). I told my wife that I wanted two gilts for breeding; I had no use for the barrow. I had no plans to butcher either of mine. Her Papa plans on butchering his, so he'll keep one of the barrows and return to his brother and exchange the other barrow for a gilt.
In addition to getting the piglets, more work was done to the piggery and another section of the property was weeded.
As usual, photos follow.

Immediate deportation of illegal expatriates would be the best solution to address the country's severe demographic imbalance and to alleviate pressure on public services, Al-Rai Arabic newspaper reported quoting Farwaniya Governor Sheikh Faisal Al-Humoud AlMalik Al-Sabah.
"Farwaniya suffers more than any other governorate from those marginal workers, who are mostly bachelors," the daily quoted him as saying. "A quick tour around Hasawi, Jeleeb Al-Shuyiukh, and Khaitan will show you how much the law is being broken, with environmental, security and social violations that they commit, despite the fact that the state spends millions of dinars on services presented to them."
Kuwait is planning mega projects that require skilled and law abiding manpower, he said. Workers' criminal records should be examined before recruitment, he added.
The governor further called for building more labor cities as soon as possible in order to 'isolate' bachelor workers from areas where families live. He said that all labor cities should be provided with full services 'to guarantee human rights'.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Mike's the Stupid News: 'Chick Bank Robber' Arrested After Posting Youtube Video
Note to aspiring criminal geniuses: if you're going to rob a bank, it's probably not the best idea to brag about it on YouTube.
Just ask 19-year-old Hannah Sabata of Nebraska. Hannah not only posted a video to the site in which she admits to stealing $6,256 from the bank and stealing a car, she titled the clip "Chick Bank Robbery"! As if that wasn't incriminating enough, she then holds up the stacks of stolen cash, all while wearing the same clothes she wore when she robbed the bank, according to police. Sabata was arrested last week after the video went viral.
I noticed the soundtrack to the eight-minute video clip is the Green Day song "Warning," but after reading the details, me thinks it should've been "American Idiot"!

Woolworths (ASX:WOW) has urged customers not to fill out a fake customer satisfaction survey which asks for bank account details in exchange for a $150 Woolworths voucher.
The survey scam has been circulated via email and Facebook.
A Woolworths spokeswoman said it would never ask customers for their personal or banking details in unsolicited communications.
"All of our official competitions run from our Facebook page at facebook.com/woolworths and are posted on the Promotions & Competitions page of our website," she said in a statement.
The scam has been reported to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) by Woolworths. ACCC's SCAMwatch has received 140 complaints about the survey since the start of September.
ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard said that if customers are duped, they will find that the vouchers are fakes and Woolworths won't honour them.
"Scammers impersonate well-known businesses to get their hands on your personal details. Once you have unknowingly sent your details to a scammer, they can steal your money – and possibly even your identity," she said.
According to Rickard, surveys which offer gift vouchers are a legitimate marketing tool often used by retailers which is why people get caught out.
"If you see one of these surveys, call the business' official customer service line before starting it," she said. "Don't rely on the links or numbers provided on the offer as this can link to a fake website or even a fake call centre."
If a customer has provided account details to a scammer, they should contact their bank straight away.
Rickard added that the Woolworths survey scam also circulated in 2012.
"Last year, victims of this survey scam reported money stolen from their credit card with losses up to $1000. Others were unwillingly subscribed to premium SMS services, which cost money for every SMS received."

For those of you new to IPv6, what I am about to show you is going to look a lot like a magic trick. I'm going to bring up an IPv6 IGP neighbor relationship (OSPFv3) between two routers. This doesn't sound like a magic trick, I know. But what if I told you I am going to do this without putting any IPv6 addresses into the configurations of either routers?
Like any true magician, I must start my magic act with letting you know I have nothing up my sleeves. So let's review the facts:
- IPv6 unicast routing is globally enabled on both routers
- IPv6 OSPFv3 is enabled via the one global command, "ipv6 router ospf 6"
- Each router has an interface in an out-of-band management network (OOB mgt.) in the subnet 18.104.22.168/24.
- RouterA is 22.214.171.124 and RouterB is 184.108.40.206 in this OOB management network
- The IPv4 addresses for the OOB management interfaces are the only IP addresses in the configurations
- Gig1/0/1 on both routers only has only two IPv6 commands on it, as shown below
- Router A is monitoring the gig1/0/1 interface and sending the traffic to a Spirent TestCenter port for capture
The interfaces are currently, as I mentioned, administratively shut down. So why look at the output to show int gig1/0/1 on Router A? Hint, hint: The MAC address of Router A is highlighted.
Let's "no shut" both Router A's interface and Router B's interface. Wave the magic wand and say a few magic words and….
VOILA! OSPFv3 neighbor!
Can you guess?
How did I do that? Let's take a step backward for a second and think about all the clues I've given you thus far.
In my previous blog, I raised a question that might have been posed during the development of IPv6 (IPng at the time):
"IPng addressing on local links: Why use up precious IPng addresses supporting routing protocols on a local segment just for the purpose of routers talking to each other? They are just communicating on that local segment."
It's a good question and one I definitely imagine was asked. With the concern about the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, I can imagine address conservation techniques might have been forefront in people's minds. Why, then, burn up an IPng address on the link between RouterA and RouterB just to have OSPF neighbors come up?
What are the other clues I have given you?
- In the diagram above, I show the MAC addresses of both Router A's interface and Router B's interface
- I'm highlighting the MAC address in the show interface gig1/0/1 output for RouterA.
Sniffer trace
Let's look at the sniffer trace we caught and focus just on the OSPF.
Lots of FE80:: and FF02::5 stuff, eh? These are all part of the magic trick.
It may look messy and intimidating to read, but it is really just three numbers repeating again and again in our trace, all of which are actually IPv6 addresses critical to making the magic trick work:
Examining FF02::5
First, let's take a closer look at the one that stands out a little easier and is a little less intimidating – FF02::5.
Does that "::5" at the end of "FF02::5" remind you of anything? How about the clue that FF02::5 is only a destination IP address and never a source? Anything? Would it remind you of anything if I mentioned the IPv4 address 184.108.40.206?
Let's go to this IANA page, plus this other IANA page and merge together some information from the two.
Mystery solved for FF02::5! It is the IPv6 multicast address equivalent to 18.104.22.168: OSPF.

This course is available for January 2019 entry
Challenging and diverse, our flagship history programme builds on the department's research strengths and has been designed to provide a thorough training in the study of history across a wide range of periods and themes.
2018 entry
2018 entry
Rosemary is continuing her postgraduate study at Teesside by pursuing a PhD.
You consider history from a variety of perspectives, to explore how people lived in the past and what factors shaped their environment, beliefs and culture. The provision is flexible. You can either build your programme by choosing from a range of taught options in cultural, European and regional history, or undertake 100 credits out of 180 through independent study.
For 2018 entry we are offering a £14,777 scholarship to a strong candidate for a full-time MA History within Teesside University's School of Social Science, Humanities and Law. Applications for the 2018 scholarship closes at 4.30pm, Monday 17 September 2018. Find out more.
Core modules provide the foundation for historical research. The programme fosters the integration of archival and secondary sources necessary for original research and writing.
This module marks the culmination of the MA History programme, requiring you to produce an extended example of historical research. This may take the form of a dissertation of 15,000 words, or an equivalent knowledge exchange project.
History in Theory and Practice
The module addresses various theoretical and practical approaches to history and historiography, and will equip you to study the subject at postgraduate level. It is organised around the acquisition of interpretive and historiographical skills and their application to some of the narratives, themes, periods and theories that engage historians at the current time.
This module will give you the opportunity to choose one of two specialist topics relating to the specific research interests of the teaching team. You will also complete an independent research project on a subject to be negotiated with an individual member of the teaching team. The module will therefore provide you with experience shaping research questions, and if you choose to submit your independent research in the form of a knowledge exchange project it will also afford you the prospect of shaping your own mode of assessment.

The module focuses on further developing your skills as a researcher with practical sessions on the framing of research questions, various research methodologies, and aspects of presenting your research, with the aim of enabling you to develop a research proposal for your final project. The module will therefore provide you with an opportunity to investigate and test the possibilities of a chosen topic by conducting a literature search, identifying historiographical context, locating primary sources, and devising a relevant and productive methodology. At the end of the module you will present your research in a conference style setting, and then complete a feasibility study which will feed-forward into your final project.
Modules offered may vary.
At postgraduate level it is important that you take an active role in structuring your own learning experience, and also engage with the relevant methods and underpinning theories of the disciplines you encounter. At the same time we recognise that students embark on their study with different levels of skills and awareness of the discipline, especially in the case of mature students perhaps returning to study. The Research Skills and Methods module is designed to address these issues, involving a high degree of regular tutor contact, a firm foundation of research, interpretation and writing skills, as well as an introduction to a range of methodological approaches and historiographies.
It is intended that you should experience a variety of different types of assessment, although the traditional extended essay plays a large part in the overall picture. There may also be 'formative' types of assessment which do not contribute to your final mark but have a useful diagnostic and developmental function. Some modules include a portfolio of exercises or short pieces, a group project, case studies or even a practical project. There are, you may be pleased to learn, no exams!
Typically graduates go on to roles in teaching, museum work, heritage management and/or administration. You may also choose to pursue further academic study - MPhil or PhD.
Students should normally have an undergraduate degree of 2.2 or above in History or a cognate discipline, or have other relevant experience or equivalent qualifications. Tutors will be happy to discuss entry requirements on a flexible basis.

Wrist cuffs by PHS International
Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
If you're looking for a cute wrist band, this is perfect! It is not a functional restraint and can not hand up to much tugging or yanking, but overall it's very cute. It only comes in feminine colors, but I am using them as small gifts and they're perfect! Measure your wrist before you buy because they are not hugely adjustable.
You can wear it because it matches your favorite shirt, or to subtly show your interest in BDSM. It can be given as a gift to someone, or you can wear it yourself. It's comfortable, and super cute! I suggest it for anyone who loves a little cute accessory to wear with anything!
The fresh snap wristband is small for fitting and really only appeals to females. While it is cute, it is not really worth the price tag, but is worth the sale price.
I really do like the bracelet. I love the colors, and it's a comfortable bracelet to wear. Though it's of decent quality, I do not believe it should cost as much as it does.
It's a fun, cute, colorful way to show off your Fresh collection without freaking out your parents, coworkers, or your kids. A bright happy way to add a little edge to your outfit or to match the rest of the Fresh line of accessories.

This demo shows a prototype projector based touchscreen attached to a laptop. It's a pretty good idea, although some of the use cases they show are impossible and/or ridiculous.
If this is ever commercialized, I think where we'll actually see it is attached to cheap all-in-ones that are designed to provide a bigger screen and keyboard for your handheld computer. Smart phones can already replace laptops for most people; imagine setting your phone down in front of a monitor, and a keyboard and touchpad are projected on the table while the phone's browser and apps are on the monitor. Pretty cool.

Internal-combustion is far from child's play, it's essentially generating explosions and making use of that power to drive your automobile; to help in this endeavor is the Pontiac Gto fuel pump. While your Pontiac Gto is actually a tough machine on its own, by using a damaged fuel pump, it will not manage to function as it ought to.
The first things you'll be treated to, should you be running on a damaged Pontiac Gto fuel pump, are stalling and misfires-traditional symptoms of trouble. If your Pontiac Gto even starts in any way, it'll be a struggle for that engine; in case the pump fails while you're driving, you'll likely be halted dead in your tracks. If you're looking at the long run, the consequence of a defective fuel pump is simple, but fatal on the bank account: a filthy, inefficient engine that'll lead to lower fuel useage.
If you've issues with your Pontiac Gto fuel pump, you've come to the right website: Parts Train, we sell many different pumps from respected providers like OES Genuine, Spectra, and AC Delco; while the products are definitely of high quality, an instant look at our catalogs can tell you that they're also very, very affordable.

So too is the territory's small Jewish community, whose ancestors arrived at almost the same time as British forces in 1704.
An exhibition just opened at the Jewish Museum in London recounts Jewish life on the Rock over the last three centuries.
In the early days, many sailed across the Mediterranean from North Africa to trade with the troops who were turning the strategically important Gibraltar into an impregnable fortress.
A few years later, in 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht - which formally ceded Gibraltar to the British - made clear Jews and Muslims should be banned from the Rock.
It did not work. A century later - in 1805 and the Battle of Trafalgar - Jews made up more than half the civilian population.
But the community's very survival was threatened when many were evacuated to Britain during World War II and chose not to return.
Today, there are just 600 Jews, making up 2% of a population of 30,000 Gibraltarians who share a stretch of peninsula measuring 4 sq miles (10 sq km).
While their numbers are small, the community says it is happily interwoven into the fabric of daily life on the Rock.
"Gibraltar is a very united community. It has a long tradition of respecting different religions and cultures. We get along together very well," says Rebecca Benggio, 36, an administrator for one of two Jewish primary schools on the Rock.
Banker Abraham Marrache, 54, whose family has lived in Gibraltar since 1720, believes it has something to do with living in a confined space.
"My feeling is that with such limited space, people have got to get on with each other," he told BBC News Online.
"You have to develop social skills you don't necessarily need if you live in wide open spaces. You are living cheek by jowl with everyone."
Flourishing schools
Nevertheless, Gibraltar's Jewish community has seen a move towards a stricter observance of religion in recent years.
Nearly all civilians in Gibraltar were evacuated during WWll. Most Jewish families went to the UK, where they experienced a different, more liberal way of life.
Many chose not to return after the war, causing concern for the survival of the Jewish community on the Rock.
In the late 1950s, a young charismatic Italian rabbi called Joseph Pacifice arrived and influenced many young Jews to pursue religious studies abroad.
They returned with new ideas and a vigour that not surprisingly left its mark on their community.
The flourishing of two Jewish primary schools and a high school - as well as four synagogues - sparked fears of a separatism not previously known in Gibraltar.
But Isaac Hassan, 35, brother of Rebecca Benggio, who now lives in London, believes things are settling down.
"I see it as a pendulum effect. After the war, there was a swing very much to the left," he said. "Gradually, with a new generation, it moved to the right. Now I think we are slowly seeing a swing to somewhere in between."
Moroccan roots
Many of the Jews of Gibraltar have their roots in Morocco - where their ancestors fled after the mass expulsion from Spain in 1492.
Isaac and Rebecca's ancestors arrived in Gibraltar from Morocco in 1717 to supply the British fortress there.
The rituals and customs of Moroccan Jews live on to this day. Henna parties are still held the night before a marriage, and many songs sung in synagogues have their origins in the northern city of Tetouan.
Many personal and religious artefacts passed down through the generations have been loaned by local families to the exhibition.
The exhibition runs at the Jewish Museum in London until 31 October.
