Used to separate different types of cells within a blood sample by spinning them extremely quickly, they are an essential tool for detecting many diseases. Due to the price of equipment and a lack of electricity, however, many medical centres in resource-poor areas lack access to the technology. After seeing this problem first-hand on a visit to Uganda, Manu Prakash, professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, thought up a new tool that wouldn’t require any electricity whatsoever. Inspired by a children’s toy known as the whirligig, Prakash invented the ‘paperfuge’, a hand-powered centrifuge that costs just 20 cents each to produce. Read more about Prakash and the paperfuge at NPR’s website.

Using a survey on the financing of China’s SMEs combined with detailed bank branch information, we investigate how concentration in the local banking market affects the availability of credit. It is found that lower market concentration alleviates financing constraints. The unconcentrated presence of joint stock banks has a larger effect on alleviating credit constraints, while the presence of state-owned banks has a smaller effect, than the presence of city commercial banks.

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle KStJ, DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician, most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.
He is also known for writing the fictional adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, and for popularising the mystery of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific writer whose other works include fantasy and science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.
Doyle is often referred to as "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" or simply "Conan Doyle" (implying that Conan is part of a compound surname, as opposed to a given middle name). His baptism entry in the register of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh gives "Arthur Ignatius Conan" as his given names, and "Doyle" as his surname. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather. The cataloguers of the British Library and the Library of Congress treat "Doyle" alone as his surname.
Conan Doyle is a rugby player for Garryowen F.C. His usual position is inside centre, but he also plays out-half. He has made two appearances for Munster Rugby in the Magners League, but was released by Munster at the end of the 2008/2009 season.
While at Munster he was selected for the Ireland national team for the 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens. As of the 2011 season Doyle is the club captain of Garryowen.

Sherlock Holmes (/ˈʃɜːrlɒk ˈhoʊmz/) is a fictional character created by British author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases. The character first appeared in print in 1887, and was featured in four novels and 56 short stories by Conan Doyle, as well as later works by other authors. The first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character's popularity grew with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional short-story series and two novels (published in serial form) appeared from then to 1927. The events in the stories take place from about 1880 to 1914.
All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson. Two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane"), and two others are written in the third person ("The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" and "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the story from memory, with Watson narrating the frame story. The first and fourth novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, include long passages of omniscient narrative of events unknown to either Holmes or Watson.
Sherlock Holmes is a 2009 action mystery film based on the character of the same name created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The film was directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. The screenplay by Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham and Simon Kinberg was developed from a story by Lionel Wigram and Michael Robert Johnson. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law portray Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson respectively. In the film, set in 1891, eccentric detective Holmes and his companion Watson are hired by a secret society to foil a mysticist's plot to expand the British Empire by seemingly supernatural means. Rachel McAdams stars as their former adversary Irene Adler and Mark Strong portrays villain Lord Henry Blackwood.
The film went on general release in the United States on 25 December 2009, and on 26 December 2009 in the UK, Ireland, the Pacific and the Atlantic.
Sherlock Holmes received mostly positive critical reaction, praising the story, and Downey's performance as the main character, winning Downey the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. The film was also nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Original Score and Best Art Direction, which it lost to Up and Avatar, respectively.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a 2011 British-American action mystery film directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. It is the sequel to the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, and likewise features the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The screenplay was written by Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Holmes and Watson and were joined by Noomi Rapace as Simza, Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes and Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty.
In the film, eccentric detective Holmes and his companion Watson travel across Europe with a Gypsy adventuress to foil an intricate plot by their cunning nemesis, Professor Moriarty, to instigate a war. The standalone sequel follows an original premise incorporating elements of Conan Doyle's short stories "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House".
On its release, the film received mixed to positive reviews from critics, and was commercially successful with a worldwide gross of over $545 million.

When I arrived at a travel agency in Patras, a man informed me, rather rudely I thought, that I was two hours late for the last ferry to Italy. My eyes filled with tears. This might seem an overreaction, but my delay at the Olympic Ruins had already pushed my thirteen days with Sean down to twelve. Missing the ferry would knock that down to eleven.
“But I called ahead and they told me the ferry to Brindisi leaves at ten,” I said.
He shrugged in that now-familiar Greek way: shoulders near the ears, elbows akimbo, hands palms up, lips pressed into a grimace. The Greek shrug has dozens of meanings based on the shape of the grimace and how emphatic the gesture. It can be used to show indifference, acceptance, confusion, anger, disdain . . . This guy was giving me the disdainful one.
“Thank you,” I said stonily, and walked out.
After nine months of traveling, I’ve learned never to trust anyone who says, “It’s not possible.” I walked a few doors down to the next travel agency and straight toward the first person who smiled at me. A woman. I wiped all traces of desperation from my face, figuring the key was to calmly declare what I wanted as if it were the simplest of requests.
“Yes, I’d like to take the next ferry to Brindisi,” I said, smiling serenely.
I flung on my hefty pack, rushed out the door, and started to run—possibly faster than I’ve ever run in my life—with a thirty-five-pound load bouncing up and down on my back. People gaped as I ran past. Sweat poured down my back and chest, my calves and lungs burned. I grew dizzy and spots jumped across my vision. This was no short sprint, and I was no Olympic athlete. I was surprised at the immensity of the ferry terminal. More than half a dozen mega-ferries and a number of other boats lined the long docks. Don’t slow down! I know it hurts, but don’t slow down! I thought. You’ll suffer even more if you miss the ferry. Sean’s waiting for you.
Afraid to lose the time it would take to remove the pack, I simply turned tail and kept running. My ferry sat a tantalizing fifty meters away. Workers were loading trucks into the gaping aft-end, and the line of waiting trucks was rapidly shrinking. I pumped my legs harder.
Suddenly I realized I hadn’t asked the bartender what kind of sign to look for. I tried to run into the grocery store next door to ask directions again, but the glass doors wouldn’t open. It must have been the exit, but I couldn’t see any other doors, so I banged on the glass, startling a lineup of cashiers and customers. The closest cashier rushed toward me and opened the door.
“Port police?” I frantically waved my passport at her and pointed at the nearby ship. “I will miss my ferry!” She pointed at the building I’d just left, the building with the empty police desk and the bartender who’d told me to head the other way. “There’s no one there!” I moaned.
He then rushed past me, through the front door, and urged me to follow. He jumped on a motorbike parked just outside and started the engine. I unbuckled my pack and, without pausing, let it fall from my shoulders to the ground as I leapt onto the back of the scooter. I grabbed the bartender’s waist and we took off, speeding down the docks, dodging passengers and vehicles from another boat. “I’m afraid I’ll miss my ferry!” I shouted merrily and giggled, picturing how we must look.
We stopped at the little window of a small building, where a policeman started from his seat in surprise. The bartender shouted something in Greek as I handed the policeman my documents. He scribbled on them and handed them back. Then I jumped back on the bike, and we were off again at high speed. It was like a James Bond chase scene—no bad guys, but plenty of near misses, fleeing pedestrians, and brake-squealing trucks.
“What’s your name?” I shouted over the bartender’s shoulder.
The unfamiliar Greek syllables he shouted back got lost in the din of the motorbike’s engine.
“I’ll tell this story to my grandchildren!” I said.
“It is a good story,” he agreed.
“Efharisto (Thank you),” I told him as we approached a small group of people gathered around my backpack.
“Parakalo (You’re welcome),” he replied as I leapt off the bike.
I hauled on my pack with help from a couple of bystanders. I bowed deeply but quickly to the entire group, said another “Efharisto!” and started to run.
I halted and turned an incredulous face on the small clutch of half a dozen Greek strangers on the dock. I smiled, pressed my hands together in a prayerful clasp, and shook my joined hands toward them, a supplicant thanking the saints who’ve interceded on her behalf: the bartender, the grocery clerk, the cop, and the dock workers. “Brava! Thank you.” I turned and walked away.
“Yes, that’s me!” I said, with a self-effacing grin.
It was 8:30 when I boarded the eight o’clock ferry, which the first agent had told me was “never late.” It left five minutes later.
Still dizzy, I made my unsteady way to the Pullman deck: this ship’s version of steerage, minus the partying and dancing promised by James Cameron’s Titanic. I was one of five backpackers flopped amid dozens of uncomfortable seats…exhausted from my much more than 200-yard dash through the obstacle course of the ferry terminal.
During the Ancient Olympic Games, the city-states of Ancient Greece—Athens, Sparta, Mycenae, and the rest—would declare a truce, setting aside war for peaceful competition. In the modern Olympics, that’s what people call “the spirit of the Games.” Some American travelers have told me they think Greeks are rude. Judging by the angry graffiti and shouts I’ve endured, many Greeks don’t think much of Americans, either. Not to mention the perverts, pick-up artists, and psychos who’ve had a go at me. Yet my last thought before drifting off to sleep last night was of the small group of Greeks who, although they had nothing to gain, pulled out all the stops to help a complete stranger, a foreigner, an American, make her boat on time.

Social media is a platform where customer service is very important.
Jay Baer knows all about this, as the mastermind behind Convince & Convert. This digital marketing agency provides services to organizations like Allstate, Cisco, and even The United Nations.
His book, Hug Your Haters, functions like a modernized manual on customer service. This work has helped companies increase feedback and decrease complaints. He is a New York Times and Amazon best-selling author. Baer’s blog is rated as the best global content marketing blog by The Content Marketing Institute. He recently spoke with us on how companies can use social media customer service.
There was a time when customer service was a much more personal matter. A customer’s grievance would only be known by a small group of people. With social media, a complaint from a customer can generate significant attention.
Social media, alongside customer reviews, can work to the detriment of even the largest and most successful company. Without a proper way to handle complaints and provide customer service, companies can suffer from a damaged reputation and loss of revenue.
Baer extensively researched the different aspects of customer service online. While he originally guessed speed was the most important factor customers looked for, this isn’t the case. The most important thing for companies is to respond to all complaints and concerns.
With a third of complaints going unanswered, customers are ending their relationship with a company on a negative note. No response at all is the worst response a customer can receive. Even if a company can’t answer a customer’s question, a two-way conversation is still a good idea.
The customer feels more appreciated.
The company shows it cares about a customer’s happiness.
Companies get information they can learn from.
It may seem counterintuitive, but customers who have had issues with a company in the past may be the most financially valuable. Retaining customers is a cost-efficient move, and a customer who gets their questions answered is more likely to make another purchase. Discover Card is a great example of a company that answers every customer within 20 minutes, 24/7. By doing so, they retain their customer base and add to it.
A regular audit helps companies find out how many inquiries they receive and from which sources. It can also reveal how long it takes for customers to get responses and how things may be improved. But the question remains: How do companies address complaints?
Baer says “offstage” complainers usually respond by phone or email. “Onstage” complainers have no issue voicing their problems in a public forum. Responding to them can surprise them, and in some cases win their loyalty.
Baer notes that the best action a company can take is to develop strategies for each type of complainer and take a serious approach to customer service.

Few students at STA can say they’ve taken a course that gives them experience in photography, design, journalism, and video production. Luckily for students of Mr. MacKenzie’s TGG 3M/4M Yearbook class, they can. Everyday in room 306, students can be seen milling about, hard at work on the latest issue of STA’s annual Triumph yearbook. In a classroom more akin to a newsroom than a lecture hall, both the first and second semester yearbook classes have become made their presence in the school more well-known than ever before.
From the TMZ parody released at this year’s Christmas assembly to the abundance of posters hanging up around the school, it is evident to many of the students here at St. Thomas Aquinas that something has changed. That is the newest wave of school spirit ushered in by Mr. MacKenzie and his yearbook class.
“Well it has only been two years, but in that short time we’ve branched out from just the yearbook. We’ve designed posters aimed at promoting school spirit. We spoofed TMZ in a video poking fun at some of STA’s finest teachers. We’re currently editing Raider Nation 6,” said MacKenzie in a recent interview.
According to interviews from several STA students, the yearbook class productions have “stolen the show” at every pep rally held this year. It has almost become rare to walk down a hallway in the school and not see at least one Black Tom movie mashup poster hanging on the wall thanks to the yearbook students. It is clear that the yearbook class’ bold steps into new projects have been met with positive reviews from much of the student body and are creating a renewed interest in school-related productions.
MacKenzie also expressed an interest in reaching out to other clubs and inter-school organizations for collaboration.
It would appear that TGG is a class on the upswing and is taking STA by storm. With talented and creative students and a teacher eager for new ideas, STA’s yearbook class is producing much more than books.
The great things we do.

advertising agencies no longer limit themselves to producing the traditional triumvirate of television spots, radio spots and print ads.
nowadays, agencies take it upon themselves to produce a wide variety of assets for their campaigns, which not only include thirty-second tv commercials, but are often expanded to include short films which have a broad range of lengths and subject matters, and can be as rudimentary as extended editions of the original spots to stories that completely diverge from their tv versions.
furthermore, the assets that creative agencies produce are not limited to video and print ads, but also include books, installations, games, video games, music, art… the list goes on.
these days, creative agencies produce experiences.
the means of distributing these assets have also changed. no longer do advertising agencies rely upon television broadcasts, print ads, radio spots and billboards to carry the bulk of their messages. in 2010, advertising media are also released through curated channels online (as well as through traditional self-distributed channels), through websites created specifically through a campaign, through smart phone applications, while some ads rely upon bloggers to spread the uniqueness of their message, much like film studios rely upon film festivals to carry the word of mouth news of a noteworthy film that’s making its way down the cultural pipeline.
there is a flood of visual media in production these days.
buffeted by the increase in handheld devices and smart phones which only expand the range of where and when consumers can enjoy their tastes in visual media, it seems likely that the torrent will only continue to expand.
feeding this demand for media is not just limited to advertising agencies or creative agencies. many different kinds of producers are getting in on the act. brand and strategic consulting agencies as well as design firms now produce visual media that are often far more ambitious than printed booklets and power point presentations. television channels create their own visual assets for the purpose of promoting their brand. museums and cultural institutions have recently seen the light. news media and magazines understand that they need to expand their visual inventory and are racing to out-innovate each other. fashion and apparel brands, such as hermés and converse, now produce short films to enhance their online presence: some of these films have even replaced their traditional runway shows. smaller brands which do not wish to invest in the approaches espoused by traditional advertising have begun to create their own d.i.y. advertising campaigns.
though sometimes slow to adapt, traditional blue-chip companies have also taken the expansion of the use of visual media into consideration. documentaries are created for companies like nokia and ibm that are never intended for public consumption, but are often distributed online after the companies see the benefits of opening up these kinds of internal dialogues to a broader audience. many brands create their own commercials and their own behind-the-scenes documentaries to generate more interest in not only the commercials but, more importantly, also to the brand and the wide variety of ways in which that brand can be experienced.
designers working within a broad range of disciplines create video not only to further advance a dialogue about the design of a project in development, where those videos are primarily shown within a limited community, but they are also a part of a long term campaign of transparency directed towards a broader audience, in order to build a groundswell of interest in the project once it has been released to the public.
so, i have been asking many questions of late: who will create these assets? who will generate the demand for these assets? who will define what needs to be produced and the range of experiences that need to be created? and who will assign creative responsibility for the production and distribution of these assets?
it seems like it can come from anywhere and that, right now, it is coming from practically everywhere.
with change coming from outside the traditional avenues, this means that there must also be change from the inside.
people working in motion picture media should no longer depend on being able to act within the traditional roles which have defined their job responsibilities.
nowadays, a director cannot solely rely only upon his or her ability to communicate a vision through delegating a team of specialists and actors. like a designer, the director must also be expected to create visual assets with his or her own hands. they should shoot stills, write stories, edit film, animate ideas. they should get involved in the creative direction, which, with few exceptions, was once the exclusive domain of agency creatives. they should understand the nuances of digital media and the means of online distribution. they should understand cultural experiences that extend far beyond the thirty-second commercial.
and while directors are naturally expanding their set of skills, an entire generation of designers, architects and other creative professionals are rapidly catching up as a natural by-product of their prolonged experimentation with ‘amateur’ filmmaking and photography, which has been spurred on by the increased availability of high-quality yet low-cost cameras and the software that has been developed for it.
there are more visual storytellers than ever before.
it won’t be long before the realm of commercials and branded documentary / entertainment ceases to be dominated by the firmly established names that we know today.
we are very soon approaching the day when the most noteworthy examples of visual storytelling are just as likely to be created by designers and musicians as they are by the directors and cinematographers who’ve dedicated themselves exclusively to the discipline.
creative directors at advertising agencies are making the leap too, while strategy directors won’t be far behind.
we will all be filmmakers soon and ultimately, that’s what we are here for, to tell good stories, to tell stories that are meaningful and genuine. now there are more of us who can do that, as well as more channels through which to share our work.
with so many gifted storytellers entering the arena, it will be truly exciting to witness and experience the collaborations and solo efforts which are right now coming down the pipeline.

Sometimes a conversation is so good, so inspiring, so healing, that you want to share it with everyone. In the rich, calming, hopeful conversation I share with world-renowned wildlife veterinarian Linda Bender, she speaks of what she has learned from working with animals. It is a beautiful, calming, fascinating conversation, inviting our imagination to soar to what is and could be.
When insights are really important, we need to hear them more than once to begin to digest and be able to use them. So I am sharing with you a few of her most important ones here, in written format. You can listen to the whole conversation here.
I asked her what was the most important thing that the animals taught her, through her vast experience from dogs and birds to tigers and elephants.
This is the same lesson the great Buddhist teachers have passed on for 2500 years and native peoples have always known and never left—to be in the present, which is where Life occurs. It offers a physical visceral awareness of life, connected to ourselves and all that is living and the profound knowings that come with that.
Another major sharing she gave is that she learned her most important lesson from robins, in her back yard—not in the far away wilds of Africa. This capacity and knowing is accessible to all of us. She emphasizes that there are no special “animal communicators” —we are all hard wired for that. We just have to “exercise those muscles,” and allow.
• Interconnection with all life is where our true joy comes from. There is no other access for that.
• This is accessible to all of us anywhere.
• A personal experience we have with whatever the being is, is our unique invitation to go beyond.
Finding fulfillment and joy is really simple, but it not really easy in these times. We need to help each other with this. I hope this and our other podcast conversations do this.
If we are able to really connect we will live differently on our Earth, giving all Life a chance to thrive.

Regardless of how it started, April Fools’ Day is now a worldwide celebration that is observed by both individuals as well as corporations, which often devise elaborate hoaxes to fool the public. Here are some of our past favorites.
The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) was the first television company to stage an April 1 prank. In 1957, its popular current affairs show, Panorama, ran a special segment about how a mild winter and the elimination of the harmful spaghetti weevil had resulted in a record spaghetti harvest that year. The episode showed women happily pulling strands of pasta from trees. When excited viewers called the BBC to find out how to grow a spaghetti tree, they were instructed to "stick a dry piece of the pasta in a can of tomato sauce and keep their fingers crossed."
Virgin Airlines is famous for coming up with some of the best April Fools' pranks, and 2018 was no exception. On April 1, the company's Australian subsidiary announced it had partnered with Virgin Active to offer the first-ever in-flight spin class. The video, released on social media, explained the various class choices and also promised passengers complimentary work-out gear and a delicious after-class snack. If only it had been true!
On April 1, 2018, Japanese car manufacturer Lexus announced it had partnered with US genetics company 23andMe to create a customized car like none other. Clients were asked to provide a sample of their saliva to 23andMe for a genetic analysis. Based on the results, they would receive a car with special features, such as broader coffee cup holders for those with an affinity for caffeine, special window tinting for drivers with sensitive skin, and no sunroof for customers who had the hair loss gene. A built-in DNA recognition technology eliminated the need for keys, allowing owners to start their car by licking the top of the steering wheel.
Fast food giant Burger King's 2018 April Fools' prank was a mouth-watering Chocolate Whopper – a chocolate cake bun with a “flame-grilled chocolate patty” in between! Customers could choose to add condiments like raspberry syrup (ketchup), white chocolate rings (onions), candied blood oranges (tomatoes), milk chocolate leaves (lettuce), and vanilla frosting (mayo). Yum!
While nobody knows what clever tricks corporations have in store for the unsuspecting public this year, they are guaranteed to be fun - as long as you don't get tricked, of course!
Why do pranksters love April 1?
What are the two theories about the origin of April Fools' Day?
i love to prank people.
So many pranks you can pull on people!
Nooodles on a tree is so weird am I right.
I would love to eat that choco whopper!!!!
love it it's like the best article I have read!

Max and Pierre go back to their roots for their first event together as Aston Martin Red Bull Racing teammates.
The off-season is long and tedious, especially for two young impatient F1 drivers, so we organised a little distraction by taking Max and Pierre to a speed skating track in the Netherlands where Max’s old kart team was hard at work prepping a couple of karts for the ice. Starting the season in true Red Bull style, both drivers quickly got to grips on the narrow 3km ice track with some impressive power slides, donuts and Scandinavian flicks.

Chapter One closed its doors on January 2nd 2019 for a major six-figure refurbishment which will see chef-patron Andrew McLeish and business partner Marcel Faulstich unveil a more modern approach with greater variety and quality when they reopen on January 21st. The new opening will also see a number of recruitment opportunities for both kitchen and Front of House staff.
Building on the site’s history as a popular place to dine and entertain since the 1930s, the new playful and confident interior created by Sherliker Design, whose clients include the French Laundry, RAC Club and the Corinthia Hotel, is inspired by the sophisticated elegance and convivial atmosphere of a bygone era. Stylish Art Deco influences and luxury furnishings include a bespoke reclaimed wood reception desk, monochrome sunburst design flooring and an eye-catching bar made from Portuguese pink marble. A relaxed all-weather terrace with comfy banquette seating will feature a retractable roof and outdoor heating for year-round dining.
In the kitchen, McLeish and his team led by head chef Dean Ferguson will continue to offer exceptional quality with regularly changing, seasonally-inspired modern European cooking. Classic dishes like Gin Cured Trout, Josper Grilled Australian Grain Fed Rib Eye Steak and Tarte Tatin will be served in the restaurant where a refined dining experience offers the ideal setting for special occasions and corporate entertaining with a choice of à la carte, menu du jour and a 5-course tasting menus. To complement the atmosphere of the new buzzy brasserie, there will be an informal menu of ‘favourites’ like burgers, battered cod and chips and bespoke house cocktails by mixologist Robert Cuvala.
Chapter One’s relaunch is the first major development since Andrew and Marcel Faulstich took ownership of the restaurant in August 2017. Having been a part of Chapter One’s story for nearly 20 years, Andrew is excited about breathing new life into the restaurant, he says, "The relaunch is an opportunity to showcase the versatility of Chapter One’s offering. Whether it’s entertaining clients, celebrations in the private dining room, a quick lunch in the brasserie or cocktails on the Terrace, our aim is to create an enjoyable and memorable experience with plenty of choice, fantastic service and quality that guests can depend on. Regarded as one of the finest restaurants in Kent, near Orpington Bromley and south east London.

Affleck, who famously got his start in a number of Weinstein films, is donating his future residuals from the producer's movies.
The actor says he didn't necessarily know how to react but admits men need to do more.
"I'm not a spokesman. I'm not a superhero. I can't change it by myself. I can just be accountable for myself and for my actions," says Affleck.
The pair also laughed about Donald Trump's tweet from four years ago that predicted Affleck would make a fine Batman.
