The Office of Bar Counsel (OBC) was established in 1974 by the Supreme Judicial Court under S.J.C. Rule 4:01 as an independent administrative body to investigate and evaluate complaints of unethical conduct against attorneys.  In the event that the OBC concludes that an attorney has engaged in unethical conduct under the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, the office will bring charges before the Board of Bar Overseers for adjudication.  If misconduct is found, the Board either will impose discipline itself or recommend to the S.J.C. that it impose discipline depending on the circumstances.
The mission of the OBC is to protect the public from unethical conduct by attorneys and to preserve and enhance the integrity and high standards of the bar.  The OBC is committed to the efficient and effective performance of its mission and strives for fairness in all its dealings with the public and the bar.
provides information on the bar disciplinary process and alternative remedies.
provides guidance to attorneys faced with ethical problems and attorneys seeking reinstatement following suspension or disbarment.
One of the ways that the OBC serves the bar is by providing guidance to attorneys who are confronted with ethical questions that attorneys are having difficulty answering.  To this end, the office staffs an ethics helpline on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 2:00pm and 4:00pm.    Attorneys may reach the helpline by calling (617) 728-8750.  The OBC does not provide formal ethics advice during these calls, and the guidance offered is not binding on either the caller or the OBC, but the OBC tries to identify the relevant ethics rules.  For formal ethics opinions, attorneys should contact the Massachusetts Bar Association (see http://www.massbar.org/for-attorneys/ethical-inquiries).
What is the Attorney and Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP)?
The Attorney and Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP) is part of the Office of the Bar Counsel of the Board of Bar Overseers. ACAP is a source of assistance to people with questions or problems with their Massachusetts attorney. When someone calls the Office of the Bar Counsel with a grievance concerning an attorney, a member of the ACAP staff will respond promptly to that inquiry and attempt to identify the problem. Many problems can be resolved by providing information, calling the attorney, or suggesting alternative ways of dealing with the dispute. A complaint form will be sent immediately where serious unethical conduct may be involved.
"My attorney will not return my telephone calls."
If the client wishes, ACAP will call the attorney and ask the attorney to contact the client. If the client does not wish ACAP to communicate with the attorney, ACAP will make suggestions to the client for a self-help plan.
"I do not think my attorney is working on my case."
Where appropriate, ACAP will send a complaint form to the client. Where the problem appears to be short-term or involve a communication problem, ACAP will offer to call the attorney for an update on the status of the case. If the client does not wish ACAP to contact the attorney, ACAP will make suggestions to the client for a self-help plan.
"My former attorney will not release my files."
ACAP will call the attorney to help obtain the release of any material to which the client is entitled.
"Can my attorney withdraw from my case?"
ACAP will discuss the limitations on a attorney s ability to withdraw and the steps the attorney must take before doing so. ACAP will also refer the client to attorney referral services when appropriate.
"My attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel in my criminal case."
If the case is over, ACAP will generally advise the caller that such claims should in the first instance be decided by a court. The caller will be asked to inform the Office of Bar Counsel should the court issue findings or an order suggesting misconduct on the part of the attorney. We will also refer the client to legal services that can assist in the filing of such a claim.
"I want to file a complaint against the judge on my case."
The Board of Bar Overseers and the Office of Bar Counsel do not have jurisdiction over complaints concerning judges. Thus, the caller will be referred to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct, 11 Beacon Street #525, Boston, MA 02108, and (617) 725-8050. See http://www.mass.gov/cjc/.
"My attorney s bill is too high."
Fee disputes, except in rare circumstances, are outside the jurisdiction of the Board of Bar Overseers and the Office of the Bar Counsel. ACAP will attempt to clarify the fee arrangement for the client, urge the client to compare the bill to the work the client knows was accomplished, and suggest that the client write to or meet with the attorney to attempt to resolve the dispute. The client may also be referred to the Massachusetts Bar Association Fee Arbitration Board (see http://www.massbar.org/for-attorneys/fee-arbitration) or to small claims court.
"I am afraid to fire my attorney because I paid a fee in advance."
ACAP will explain that the attorney is obligated to return the unearned portion of any retainer promptly. The client is advised to ask for an itemized bill and to request the immediate refund of any unearned fees and the return of the file when the attorney is discharged.
"My spouse s divorce attorney said things that are not true to the judge."
ACAP will explain that unless the attorney made willful misrepresentations of fact or law, this claim should be raised with the caller s own attorney since there may be nothing the Board of Bar Overseers or the Office of the Bar Counsel can do. However, the caller is advised that if there is proof establishing that the attorney engaged in deliberate misrepresentations to the court, a complaint form will be sent.
ACAP deals with problems that can be resolved without extensive investigation and the disciplinary procedures of the Board of Bar Overseers and the Office of the Bar Counsel. When a caller alleges serious misconduct, such as the mishandling of client funds, ACAP will provide a complaint form and urge the caller to file it with the Office of the Bar Counsel. Although ACAP cannot give legal advice, when a caller needs legal assistance, we will direct the caller to other resources for assistance.
How does ACAP assist attorneys?
ACAP helps attorneys by providing an informal means of addressing minor complaints from dissatisfied clients and others. We also give information and suggestions about effective resolution of disputes in an ethical and professional manner.
Most problems with clients can be prevented by returning the client s calls promptly, keeping clients informed about the status of the case, written fee agreements, regular billing practices, meeting deadlines, and managing a caseload efficiently.
In some cases, ACAP will refer attorneys to Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, peer assistance and practice management assistance through local bar associations, and the Office of the Bar Counsel ethics hotline for information and help.
NOTE: THE ACAP PROGRAM IS NOT A "LAWYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM" AS DEFINED IN RULE 1.6(c) OF THE MASSACHUSETTS RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
As an arm of the Office of the Bar Counsel, ACAP is governed by the Supreme Judicial Court rules, which mandate that the Office of the Bar Counsel and the Board of Bar Overseers keep complaints confidential unless and until a complaint for public discipline is filed. Thus, ACAP cannot disclose that someone has contacted us about an attorney. However, ACAP s connection to the Office of the Bar Counsel also requires that ACAP s records be available to Bar Counsel and that ACAP advise Bar Counsel if it receives information indicating that an attorney is engaging in serious misconduct. A consumer who makes a written or telephone inquiry to ACAP is immune from liability based on the inquiry. This immunity does not extend to public disclosure by the consumer of information contained in or relating to the complaint.
* ACAP does not accept inquiries over the Internet.


Crude oil futures ended modestly lower Friday as traders took profits on Thursday's sharp gains posted amid Iraq war jitters.
Trading was subdued, as participants sat on the sidelines after the recent volatility and awaited fresh developments in Iraq and Nigeria, the market's twin concerns.
At the New York Mercantile Exchange, the May crude oil contract fell 21 cents to close at $30.16 a barrel. The contract posted an overnight high of $31.05 a barrel.
Front-month April gasoline and heating oil futures ended mixed ahead of Monday's expiration. April heating oil closed up 2.10 cents at 83.25 cents a gallon, while April gasoline closed with a loss of 2.08 cents at 95.39 cents a gallon.
At London's International Petroleum Exchange, North Sea Brent blend futures for May delivery dropped 47 cents to $26.35 a barrel.
Natural gas for May delivery fell 0.09 cent to settle at $5.146.
Despite Friday's modest pullback, oil prices managed to end the week more than 12 percent higher, recouping some of the 30 percent decline that came on expectations of a quick war in Iraq.
Those expectations have all but evaporated in recent days, as allied forces face stiff Iraqi resistance as they advance toward Baghdad. Some coalition officials have acknowledged that they had underestimated the Iraqi military's willingness to fight, warning that the war could be longer and more difficult than many had hoped.
The prospect of prolonged military conflict has damped hopes for a quick resumption of Iraqi oil output, which accounts for about 3 percent of global supply.
Iraq exported about 1.7 million barrels a day of oil through the oil-for-food program.
The United Nations suspended the oil sales program last week as allied forces prepared to attack Iraq. The Security Council voted Friday to resume the program once the American-led war winds down.
The resolution approved Friday gives Secretary-General Kofi Annan control over the humanitarian side of the program for the next 45 days. Annan said that the military situation will determine how quickly the United Nations can return its staff to Iraq to begin distributing the aid.
The resolution does not address the oil sales side of program, an apparent acknowledgment of the uncertainty surrounding the state of the Iraqi oil industry.
"In terms of flows, we would expect that volumes would be erratic at best until a definitely more stable political element is in place," said Tyler Dann, an oil analyst with Banc of America Securities in Houston. "I would suspect tanker companies are going to be quite skittish about lifting oil from facilities that are anywhere close to Iraq until the war is over."
Meanwhile, Nigerian oil output remained sharply curtailed two days after militants battling government forces in the oil-rich Niger Delta announced a cease-fire.
President Olusegun Obasanjo has ordered security forces to arrest ethnic militants, whose battles with rival fighters and government troops have shut down 40 percent of the country's oil production.
But ChevronTexaco, Royal/Dutch Shell and TotalFinalElf say the situation is not safe enough to return their staff to the region and have given no indication when they plan to restore production.

Gold Coast receives new defence in fight against skin cancer
August 24, 2014 9:12 am in Gold Coast by myGC
ASSISI Catholic College on the Gold Coast is one of eight schools across Queensland to receive up to $25,000 to fund better shading in their school grounds, thanks to Cancer Council grants made possible through the eftpos Giveback program.
The shade grants were awarded from a pool of over 380 applications nationally.
Schools were asked to apply and show that there was a clear need for shade in their school, and to demonstrate that they were actively promoting SunSmart behaviour among students.
ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER THIS ADVERTISEMENT
Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift said the grants would play a large part in keeping teenagers protected from the sun.
"Without access to proper shade during school hours, teenagers are putting themselves at risk of developing skin cancer," Ms Clift said.
"Sun protective behaviours, including seeking shade, are required whenever the UV Index is 3 or above. In Queensland, the UV Index is above 3 every day – so sun protection is required through every season.
"Around 99 per cent of all skin cancer cases are caused by exposure to UV radiation, so staying SunSmart and seeking shade is imperative for the health of young Queenslanders."
Assisi Catholic College Principal Dora Luxton said a lack of funds prevented the school from providing students with additional shade in their meal area.
"We are now able to build a large shade structure over the student's tiered seating area which will provide them with a much needed sun safe space at break times," Ms Luxton said.
Eftpos made the funding available through its Giveback program, which encouraged Australians to support the cause by choosing CHQ or SAV at the checkout in the lead-up to Christmas last year.
"Eftpos Australia is delighted to have been able to support Cancer Council's Shade for Secondary Schools Program, helping to provide vital shade to secondary schools across Australia," eftpos Managing Director, Bruce Mansfield, said.
"Thanks to the millions of Australians who support eftpos by pressing CHQ or SAV at the checkout, we were able to donate $1 million to Cancer Council for this great shade program."
More information about Cancer Council Queensland and staying SunSmart is available at cancerqld.org.au or 13 11 20.

I need this kind of functionality to add easy-to-use support of wrapping classes for the library I'm currently working on. So I want to understand why compiler behaves in that way. Is this intended behavior? If so, what lies behind the scenes? In not, should we create an issue ticket or is this kind of functionality is already staged for future releases?
Thanks to everyone in advance! I'm very dived into Kotlin, but this is my first discussion here.
Hello. Can you please submit an issue at http://kotl.in/issue with a self-contained code example (notice that Wrapper is not defined). Thanks!
Actually, I solved this issue with a kind of a hack, but will definitely submit an issue. And will post the workaround tomorrow.
So, regarding the workaround to anyone who might find it useful.
As I understand, this forces the compiler to limit the possible return type in the inlined lambda to the outer reified type, thus it's possible for compiler to infer it.
Although, I consider it some kind of a hack with a bit of overhead.

Lordan Bunch
Lordan Bunch is an American painter who paints small, photo-realistic pantings based on photobooth photos. From a museum show guide, a description of Bunch:
Lordan Bunch collects photo booth photographs from the 1920s through the 1940s and creates small to midsize meticulously crafted photo-realistic oil paintings. Unlike Gardner�s close relation to his subjects, the sitter�s anonymity in these found black and white pictures is important to Bunch as he adds color to give these forgotten people a sense of dignity and life. There is often a slight awkwardness to the sitter�s expression as he or she stares into the reflective glass separating them from the booth camera. In one a boy smirks, trying not to laugh; in another, part of a man�s face is cropped by the edge of the frame as if he had shifted when the shutter was released. There has always been a mystique around photo booth pictures, which might come from the fact that there is no photographer and no negative. The sitters are performing for themselves and even self-conscious people let their guard down behind the curtain.
And from a gallery description of Bunch's work:
Lordan Bunch�s newest paintings depict sitters - mostly women - whose images were snapped in photo-booths in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Bunch sorted through his collection of hundreds of these photographs to find moments of intimacy or emotion that convey an imagined narrative to each frozen scene. Yet the story remains elusive; the anonymity of the sitter and the circumstances surrounding the moment will never be revealed. On the backs of several of these images were notes indicating time and place, or simply a name, simultaneously offering more information and deepening the mystery. The title of the show, C.I. 1929, was lifted from one: it�s shorthand for the year it was taken and the place, Coney Island. Bunch often reproduces one of these handwritten notes in paint on a single canvas and forms a diptych along with the portrait (though he usually partners interesting text with a different person, fabricating his own tale and adding another layer of ambiguity). Along with the photo-booth paintings, Bunch will exhibit recent paintings based on early 20th Century medical textbooks in which the subjects suffer from psychological maladies. The images of these young men or boys are unsettling; you feel that something is a little off but the cause indeterminate. Much like the arcade photos, the subjects appear vulnerable and captive. This is the nature of most documentary photography. By painting these portraits, Bunch is immortalizing lives depicted in small inconsequential photographs, reversing their anonymity and illustrating their stories, contrived or not.


A man and woman who allegedly had a drinking rendezvous at the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course netted double DUI arrests for Palo Alto police Monday evening (Jan. 31), but not before the man allegedly caused three accidents, police said.
The woman, 39-year-old Jung Sang Lee of Palo Alto, and 43-year-old Soo Ha Woo from Santa Clara, were mutual acquaintances and had been drinking at the golf course, according to police spokeswoman Officer Marianna Villaescusa.
Woo and Lee had come to the golf course in separate vehicles. At approximately 7:02 p.m., officers arrived at the golf course at 1875 Embarcadero Road on a report of a possible hit-and-run collision. Witnesses reported that the driver, a male, hit a parked vehicle and was uncooperative and possibly intoxicated.
The driver left the scene of the accident before police arrived. Witnesses noted the license plate number and described the car as a dark Toyota Camry, according to Villaescusa.
An officer spotted a white Toyota Highlander parked on top of a grassy embankment directly in front of the golf course and found a female driver, Lee. The officer immediately smelled alcohol on her breath, Villaescusa said.
Witnesses said the Highlander was not the car involved in the collision, but officers later learned that Lee had been in a verbal argument with the male driver from the hit-and-run car. Lee was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and was released to a sober acquaintance, Villaescusa said.
While officers were gathering further information, Palo Alto dispatchers received a 911 call regarding a second accident involving the same vehicle near Embarcadero Road and Cowper Street.
The caller reported that while she was driving westbound on Embarcadero, her vehicle and a second vehicle were struck by a dark Toyota Camry with a license-plate number that matched the car involved in the earlier accident.
Agent Anthony Becker spotted the Camry traveling northbound on El Camino Real at Medical Foundation Way. During a traffic stop, Becker immediately smelled alcohol coming from the male driver, Villaescusa said.
Several witnesses positively identified Woo as the driver in both accidents. His car also sustained damage consistent with the crashes, she said.
Woo was arrested for DUI and three counts of hit and run. He was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. Neither Woo nor Lee has prior criminal histories, according to Villaescusa. No injuries were reported in any of the accidents and all vehicles sustained minor to moderate damage.
Another criminal apprehended and exposed! Thank-you Palo Alto Daily and Palo Alto Police for bringing this major criminal event to our attention. Keep up the good investigative work.
"An officer spotted a white Toyota Highlander parked on top of a grassy embankment directly in front of the golf course and found a female driver, Lee. The officer immediately smelled alcohol on her breath, Villaescusa said"
Is it illegal to be intoxicated in parked car?
"Is it illegal to be intoxicated in parked car?"
I think it's okay as long as you are NOT behind the wheel, and do not have an open container within reach. Any DUI lawyers out there to clarify?
To-Posted by musical, a resident of the Palo Verde neighborhood.
As long as the keys are not in the vehicle.
Not a good week for the esteemed citizens of Palo Alto - 1 citizen arrested for DUI & another, now deceased, found to have an incredibly high BAC. Pathetic.
PAPD could increase city revenue by doing traffic stops near the golf course. Why do people have to speed to get to the golf course?
> "Is it illegal to be intoxicated in parked car?"
Apparently, yes. I've read stories of people who climb into the back seat to sleep it off, and they get arrested for DUI anyway. It didn't make sense to me. It's better that they sleep, and where else can they go anyway? But the courts don't miss a chance to collect a fine.
> I've read stories of people who climb into the back seat to sleep it off, and they get arrested for DUI anyway.
That hardly seems right, unless there is some reason or evidence to the fact that they must have been driving drunk to get where they were to pull over.
if you're the only person in the car, there's a rebuttable presumption that you must have been driving drunk to get to where you pulled over.In other words you are presumed to have been drunk behind the wheel unless you can prove otherwise.
Seriously?? You people are defending these drunk people? How else do you suppose a drunk person in their car, with their keys gets to where they are? What, do they actually have to kill someone before getting arrested? A cop walks up to a car, for whatever reason, finds the person behind the wheel smelling like alcohol, yes they should be arrested. Absolutely.
I'm all for rights and freedoms and such - but my kids are on the road out there. Odd are you have loved ones out there as well. When it comes to drunk driving, it should be one and done. There is no viable excuse for such behavior.
Jeez. Coming down on cops for arresting drunk drivers - who ever heard of such a thing.
Way to completely disregard the most basic presumption -- that of innocence.
Can you imagine who these guys woke up this morning, in a sleep slumber just before they were completely awake: "Ahh, what the.. God my head hurts, why am I thirsty..Oh F@@#$$$!!! I need more sleep, on no wait.. is this a dream... oh no!
I do not think it is uncommon for people to drink and then get in their previously parked car and go to sleep. Remember the woman a few months back who apparently did so on El Camino in PA and was assualted by a man who broke her car window?
Better someone who has too much to drink sleep it off in their parked car than get out on the road to get home. And I don't think many are going to call a cab at that point in the evening-too lte for lucid thinking.
Basically, if you get a d.u.i for being drunk in your car and your car keys aren't in the ignition, you need appeal the charge... What if the person stopped pulled over, and then drank some alcohol? They need to be able to prove it. Sounds like some BS to me, they can't just arrest that person for sitting in their car drunk. Palo Alto PD... Enough said.
The car WAS up on an embankment. You don't think she was driving?
allright all you amatuer crimefighters and haters. If the car left the roadway and was up an embankment then that is classified as an accident and the person who is suspected to be the driver can be arrested.
It is time to put a stop to all the criminal behavior associated with golf. Shut the course down!
If you are intoxicated, in the drivers seat, and the keys are in the vehicle, you can be charged with operating under the influence, or attempting to operate under the influence.
Should clarify that the keys must be in the ignition, not just in the vehicle. Point is, if you are planning on sleeping one off, do not sit behind the wheel. If you are in the passenger side of the vehicle, you have a stronger case that you were not attempting to operate. Either way, lock your doors and remove the keys form the ignition.


Background: Prevalent adolescent digital media use has brought clinical attention to its potential associated risks. While excessive digital media use has been connected to adolescent difficulties with mood and impulsivity, no study has examined digital media's role in precipitating adolescent psychiatric admissions.
Objective: Our study aims were to identify and characterize digital media-related admissions in a sample of psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents, and to recognize unique patterns of digital media use within this sample. We hypothesized that adolescents with digital media-related admissions would endorse higher amounts of digital media use and problematic online behaviors.
Methods: We administered a cross-sectional survey to psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents between 2012 and 2016. Admissions were considered related to digital media use either by adolescent report or documentation in the medical record. Unadjusted comparisons were used to examine relationships between digital media-related psychiatric admissions, online behaviors and suicide-related risk factors.
Results: 68 of 218 participants (31.2%) had digital media-related admissions. The most frequent cause of digital media-related admission was cyberbullying (31.9%). Teens with digital-media related admissions were significantly more likely to sext, use social media, and be cyberbullied; these adolescents were also at increased risk of suicide planning and hopelessness.
Conclusion: Efforts should be made by mental health clinicians to identify and address online relational conflict, as well as to screen for cyberbullying and sexting. Clinicians should consider that adolescents with digital media-related presentations may be at elevated risk of self-harm, with higher rates of suicide planning and hopelessness compared to hospitalized peers without digital media-related admissions.

Abstract:Background: Prevalent adolescent digital media use has brought clinical attention to its potential associated risks. While excessive digital media use has been connected to adolescent difficulties with mood and impulsivity, no study has examined digital media's role in precipitating adolescent psychiatric admissions.

Motivation and leading questions
The Research Training Group's Profile
Working Papers 2017 (dt.) "Innovationsgesellschaft und Innovationsfelder"
Working Papers (dt.) "Innovationsgesellschaft heute: Die reflexive Herstellung des Neuen"
Working Papers (eng.) "Innovation Society Today: The Reflexive Creation of Novelty"
The Research Training Group's notion of innovation
An inseparable part of modern society, innovation is currently acquiring new contours in its relation to society: Societies are becoming innovation societies, in which innovation is one of the main driving forces of change. Innovations in modern society are primarily(re-)produced in innovation fields, i.e. action fields which are constituted by the interactions between actors and which are based on specific, innovation-related topics (e.g. e-mobility or bank regulation). Such innovation fields often are located between and with- in different areas of society. Imparted through these innovation fields, new developments drive societies: as motifs for action (semantics of novelty), elements of routines (pragmatics of creative performance), and systematically (re-)produced social structures for generating novelty (grammar of innovative regimes).
In this process, innovation becomes an increasingly reflexive, heterogeneously distributed, and ubiquitous phenomenon. Reflexivity in innovation relates to the ongoing and systematic production and reproduction of novelty in society based on a growing body of knowledge. This also highlights recursiveness and momentum as well as the innovation- specific development of structures as crucial aspects of innovation processes. Heterogeneously distributed innovation signals a shift from the individual entrepreneur to innovation produced in actor networks. Ubiquity of innovation signifies that novelty is no longer restricted to the traditional spheres of science and economy; rather, it has become a generalized imperative in modern society.
Research question
The Research Training Group thus addresses the following key question: How does the innovation society constitute its transformations reflexively as innovation? In order to answer this question we need to clarify how innovation and novelty are brought forth reflexively by a multitude of actors distributed in and across innovation fields. Innovation societies are characterized by the fact that innovation is the driving force of social change. Practices, orientations, and processes will be the focus of study in selected innovation fields. In these fields, in addition to familiar innovation-related topics such as the commercial development and manufacture of new technologies, other topics that cannot be subsumed under neat categories such as technology, economy, or politico-administrative units such as nation states will also be examined. With this extended concept of innovation in society, the Research Training Group adopts a broader social science-based approach that goes be- yond an economic perspective. By comparing case studies on the constitution of innovation in different innovation fields, participants will not only develop an in-depth, empirically founded understanding of what "innovation society" means today and its considerable impact on socialization, they will also gain insights into how innovation fields contribute to these processes.

Origin Of Indian Premiere League ( IPL )
What is the Indian Premier League?
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) launched the Indian Premier League (IPL) on September 14, 2007. Based on the lines of the English Premier League (EPL) and the National Basketball League (NBA), the IPL is said to be the brainchild of BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi. The idea was first floated in 1996 but was shot down as the board felt it would go against the zonal system of domestic cricket. The project moved into top gear when the Zee group launched a rival Indian Cricket League on similar lines in April 2007.
Who are the franchisees?
The franchisees will own the eight teams in the fray. They can run them in their own styles, bring their own sponsors and even name the team according to their choice. They will even be free to list their teams on the stock exchange.
How is it different from the football and hockey leagues in India?
The IPL, in a way, is not very different in its format vis-a-vis the PHL or the I-League in football. It is, however, totally different in its concept as the teams have been offered to franchisees (individuals or corporates) through a bidding process that culminated on Thursday. The BCCI has already signed up 80 international players who will also be put for auction soon.
When will the IPL matches be played and where?
Under lights, on a home and away basis, in the cities that have formed the teams. The league opens on April 18 and will see 59 matches spread over 44 days.
What kind of money is involved in IPL?
The overall prize money will be US $5 million, with the winners taking home $2 million. The remaining will be up for grabs in different forms, like man of the match awards and cash prizes. By contrast, the winners of the 2007 ICC World Cup in the Caribbean took home $1 million; the Indian team that won the World Twenty20 got half of that. TV rights have already gone for over $1 billion. Franchisees have already committed close to US $723 million. Top players are expected to earn minimum 1-2 crores per season.
What is already in place for IPL?
With the league scheduled for April 2008, the IPL has so far sold the eight teams to corporate houses and signed leading players. Indian stars like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly will be called "icon players" and can play only for their respective cities. They will be the highest paid players and will not be auctioned. The bidding will take place next month.
Who owns the IPL TV rights?
Sony Entertainment, a division of Japan's Sony Corp, and the Asia-based World Sports Group (WSG) won the broadcast rights for ten years, worth more than a whopping US $1 billion. TV rights are worth $918 million, with $100 million set aside for promotion.
Who will run the IPL?
BCCI has formed an IPL council that comprises former BCCI president IS Bindra, vice-presidents Rajiv Shukla, Chirayu Amin, Lalit Modi and Arun Jaitley, and former cricketers Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri. While the BCCI officials are honorary members, Pataudi, Gavaskar and Shastri will be paid for their services. The IPL governing council will have a five-year term and will run, operate and manage the league independently of the BCCI.

One of the few epidemiological studies of marijuana was released over the weekend, having gained importance with Washington and Colorado having recently legalized the sale of pot. The study proved that alcohol, cigarettes, and other forms of tobacco/nicotine are all more addictive than marijuana — but not by much. Approximately 2 million Americans are addicted to marijuana in the sense that they cannot quit and their lives are negatively affected by the drug.
A group of scientists at Plymouth University, testing the theory that food cravings came from our imagination, not our stomachs — and were thus visual, not something felt, tested their theory in a unique way. They proved that people feeling food cravings who stopped whatever they were doing and played 3 minutes of a highly visual video game (they used Tetris) felt a 25% drop in their cravings.
We've all been told that antioxidants are massively good for you — but studies from as far back as 2009 (Germany) and as recently as last week (Norway) have proven again and again that that combining high-antioxidant foods with exercise can make the exercise much less effective. One of the major benefits of exercise is the creation of new mitochondria (the organelles that burn fat and sugar for calories) inside your cells — but that cannot happen in the presence of "healthy" levels of antioxidants. In particular, Vitamin C, resveratrol, and CoQ10 have shown to impair the benefits of exercise.
A study released by the American Massage Therapy Association revealed that neuromuscular massage therapists are becoming more and more in demand in the United States as the benefits of therapeutic massage become more evident. Predictions are that there will be 20% more massage therapists by 2020 than there are today — significantly above the average rate of growth for medical professionals.
It's not that often that we get great, 'clean' studies out of China, but it can happen. In this case, a month or so ago, a trio of scientists at Wuhan University called out three preventative superfoods: garlic (for it's antibacterial, antiviral, and antiparasitical properties), ginger (as a powerful anti-inflammatory and digestive aid), and lemon (because it cleanses the blood and liver as well as reducing mucus body-wide.) A tablespoon each of the first two — raw, with honey — and a glass of water with a lemon squeezed into it — are on their list of things everyone should consider as a daily part of their health regimen.
There are stem cells in the brain that are used when new neurons need to be built. But according to researchers at UC Berkley, under chronic stress, the brain will instead convert these stem cells into a kind of glial cell that has the job of coating nearby neurons in a myelin sheath. This operation is necessary in some parts of the brain ('white matter'), but when it happens in an area of the brain that is normally gray matter, it can cause communications between some cells to become accelerated while others' communications are at normal speed. The result is a 'misfire' that can cause a variety of effects from PSTD-like symptoms to a lack of ability to consider the ramifications of one's actions. End result? Avoid stress when at all possible.


Images and video posted to Twitter on Saturday are said to show units of Apple's iPhone X preparing to ship, as well as the unboxing of a silver model.
Content from well-known leaker Benjamin Geskin shows what appears to be dozens of iPhones in their final packaging. In the unboxing, we see standard Apple inserts and accessories, and both sides of the phone.
Earlier today, a video surfaced on Instagram which showcases the unboxing experience for the Space Gray variant of the iPhone X.
Its unclear as to where the photos and video were taken, however, one of the images shows non-English text.
Pre-orders of the iPhone X began on Friday and quickly sold out, forcing all but the earliest buyers to wait past the product's November 3rd launch date. Most Canadian and U.S. online orders are now taking 5 to 6 weeks to ship, though Apple has been upgrading some estimates.

"With grateful thanks to Margaret Purdom for permission to reproduce extracts from her history of the parish."
The parish of St. Patrick, Langley Moor was founded in 1876. The parent mission was St. Herbert of Croxdale and was attached to Croxdale Hall, the ancestral home of the Salvin's. The first Rector of St. Patrick's was the Rev. James Hanley who came in 1876 to minister to a flock of at least 1,000 people most of them being Irish immigrants who had found work in the local coal mines.
The new mission covered a fairly large area which included Langley Moor (otherwise called The Boyne), Littleburn, Alum Waters, Sleetburn (now known as New Brancepeth), Meadowfield, Browney Colliery and Brandon Village.
There was no church, school or presbytery so Fr. Hanley rented a house in High Street, Langley Moor and said Mass in a room in a Catholic house in the same street. Afterwards he moved to a more commodious house and said Mass in a large room in the Littleburn Hotel, then under Catholic management. In 1879 he erected a large zinc building which served as a church and school for over twenty years.
In 1880 Fr. Hanley was recalled to Ireland. Fr. Richard Hannon came as the second Rector in 1880. He built St. Patrick's Presbytery in 1885 and also bought additional land in 1884. He died in hospital after an operation in 1889.
Fr. Joseph Thorman was the third Rector, appointed in 1899. He built the school to accommodate 307 children and the old zinc building was then used solely as a church until October 8th 1911. Fr. Thorman was transferred to St. Andrew's, Newcastle upon Tyne in December 1906. The Rev John Parker came as fourth Rector on December 29th 1906 from Wigton, Cumberland.
Plans for the New Church (read more)
Fr. Parker continued the aim of Fr. Thorman which had been to have a new church built as soon as it was financially possible. He had plans drawn up to a Gothic design by Mr Edward Kay of Stockton on Tees with seating for four hundred and fifty persons. The estimated cost of the new church was £3,000 and by 1909 Fr. Parker had £500 towards it and could submit the plans. He was advised by the Bishop to wait until he had £1,000.
Early in 1910 the plans were passed by the Urban District Council and the parish was allowed to borrow £1,200 towards the cost. Arrangements could then be made for the building of the church which was undertaken by Messrs. George Gradon and Sons of Durham.
The great day when the foundation stone would be laid arrived on Saturday October 1st 1910. During the course of the next year the parishioners were able to watch the gradual building of a most beautiful church. It was faced with stone and consisted of nave and aisles with sanctuary and two side chapels. Two sacristies were attached and the interior showed an arcade of five arches to each side of the nave resting on octagonal columns with foliated capitals. The roof was one of open hammer beam construction and the church was eighty feet in length by forty five feet in width.
The Official Opening of the Church (read more)
St. Patrick's Church was officially opened on Sunday October 8th 1911. The chief service on the Sunday was the Solemn High Mass* which was sung at 11 a.m. by Monsignor Brown, President of Ushaw College. He was assisted in the service by Dr. Burgess (Deacon), Fr. Thorman (Sub-Deacon), and Dr. Towers (Master of Ceremonies). Mr. J B Slack, organist of St. Godric's Church played the voluntaries and conducted the choir, and Miss Salkeld played the organ. In the evening there was a large congregation present for Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
On Tuesday October 10th Bishop Collins and a large number of distinguished members of the church entered the new church for a service at 11 a.m.Thirty six priests were in attendance and joined a large congregation in the church. Solemn Episcopal Mass was sung by the Bishop with music provided by the choir from Ushaw College conducted by Fr. Bonney, while Mr. Henshaw presided at the organ.
The church was described as 'an ornament to the neighbourhood' in 1911 and it still continues to live up to this description. The church itself is an imposing building which today is enhanced by being surrounded by the most beautiful and lovingly cared for garden, making the approach to the church most attractive whether summer or winter.
Fr. Parker's Era (1906-1934) (read more)
Within three years of the building of the church a World War was declared in August 1914 and young men rushed to enlist to fight in this war having no idea of the horrors they were going to have to endure. Many men from the parish went to the war and forty of them were killed leaving heartbroken families behind them.
During these difficult years, Fr. Parker did his utmost to comfort and sustain his people and there can be no doubt of their appreciation of him, which they demonstrated so clearly, on the occasion of his Silver Jubilee of ordination to the priesthood in 1919.
He had been born in Preston, Lancashire and was educated at Ushaw College where he was ordained on the 29th April 1894. After ordination he served at St. Michael's, Newcastle before starting a new mission at Benwell. He was then transferred to Wigton in Cumberland, from where he came to St Patrick's in December 1906.
He organised the building of the church at a final cost of £4,000. It was his ambition to pay off this debt and live to see the consecration of his church. While Fr. Parker was ministering to his people as a worshipping community he was also keeping them together socially. After the building of the new church, the zinc building which had served as a church and school for over twenty five years now became the hub of social activities.
Fr. Parker formed a men's club, which among other things, promoted events like whist drives and dances. The Catholic Women's League, which had been founded in England in 1906 and in our diocese in 1911, formed a branch at St. Patrick's, which was to flourish until the 1980s. The Legion of Mary and Catholic Young Men's Society were also established.
By 1932 Fr. Parker had been in the parish for 25 years. The parishioners felt that this occasion must be marked to show the affection in which he was held. A tea and social was held in his honour at which he was presented with an easy chair, a set of breviaries and an umbrella on behalf of the different organisations in the parish.
The following year, 1933, Fr. Parker's great ambition was attained when he was able to pay off the remaining debt on the church and thus make it possible to have St. Patrick's church consecrated. Considering some of the hard times endured during the 22 years since the building of the church this was a remarkable achievement on behalf of priests and people.
The Consecration of the Church (read more)
On Tuesday October 10th 1933 the church was consecrated by Dr. Thorman, former parish priest and now Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle.The Consecration took place in the presence of a large assembly of priests and members of the congregation. The Bishop stood outside and sprinkled the walls of the church three times with holy water. Then he struck the door with the ash end of this crozier and cried out…
"Lift up your gates, O ye princes,
and be lifted up O eternal gates,
and the King of Glory shall enter in"
"Who is this King of Glory"
said the Guardian Deacon inside the church.
"The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle"
answered the Bishop
At the third demand the door was opened by the Guardian Deacon, and the Bishop, making the sign of the cross with his pastoral staff on the threshold, entered and took possession in God's name.
The enshrining of the relics of martyrs, the anointing with chrism of the altar and church walls, the blessing of the altar cloths and clothing of the altar followed. The Mass was then said by the Bishop.
Each member of the congregation was presented with a booklet explaining the Consecration of a church and giving a short history of the parish.
Fr. Parker achieved his ambition to see his church consecrated but lived for only six months afterwards. The parish lost their popular priest of the last 27 years when he died in April 1934 aged 65.
Fr. Thomas Vincent Meagher (1934-1936) (read more)
Fr. Parker's successor as parish priest was Fr. Thomas Meagher who came to St. Patrick's in May 1934. Ordained at Ushaw College in 1909, he became Professor of Languages there and taught French from 1911 – 1921. The fact that he was on sick leave from 1930 to 1932 could indicate that he did not enjoy good health. He returned to his family home at Preston where he died on March 4th 1936, aged fifty.
Fr. John McCormack (1936-1938) (read more)
Fr. John McCormack was the next parish priest appointed to St. Patrick's Parish. He came in April 1936 and did not have a curate to help him. He had been trained for the priesthood at the Beda College in Rome and, after ordination, taught at Ushaw College until 1934. In 1938 Fr. McCormack organised a huge refurbishment of St. Patrick's Club Hall and had a new maplewood dance floor installed. His time at St. Patrick's came to an end in May 1938 when he was moved to St. Mary's, Stockton on Tees where he remained until his death on October 25th 1953.
Fr. Austin McShane (1938-1976) (read more)
Fr. McShane came as parish priest to St. Patrick's in May 1938 having previously served in Easington, Esh Winning and Stanley. He had been educated at Ushaw College where his studies were interrupted by the First World War, in which he served for two years as a lieutenant in the Machine Gun Corps. He was ordained at Ushaw on April 21st 1924.
One year after Fr. McShane's arrival World War 2 was declared, which brought disruption and change to the parish.Shortly after the war was declared, the Military Camp, then in existence at Brancepeth, was occupied by many of the Northern Regiments and Fr. McShane was appointed as Catholic Chaplain to the forces billeted there.
Fr. McShane celebrated Mass every Sunday in the camp cinema. Fr. Peter Stanley was appointed as curate in 1939 and stayed until 1941 when he was succeeded by Fr. Herbert Armstrong who remained as curate until 1947. Some older parishioners can recall happy times spent during the war taking part in parish productions which were organised by Fr. Armstrong and Miss Hughes (teacher in the school).
Post-War Changes (read more)
On April 21st 1949 Fr. McShane celebrated the Silver Jubilee of his ordination to the priesthood. To mark the occasion he organised a major refurbishment of the church which included a new roof and all the windows being replaced with stained glass. To design and install the stained glass windows Fr. McShane chose a Birmingham firm named Hardman, the quality of whose windows was recognised as superb. Their windows are found in the Houses of Parliament and as far afield as St. Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia and St. Mary's Cathedral in the same city, as well as our own church of St. Patrick's at Langley Moor. Fr. McShane's celebration of his Silver Jubilee gave the parish an even more beautiful church with the enhancement of these wonderful windows which continue to inspire the congregation.
In 1958 Pope Pius 12th died after a reign of 19 years. His successor, Pope John 23rd decided to call a Second Vatican Council the first session of which took place from October 11th 1962 to December 8th 1962. Pope John 23rd died in June 1963 and was succeeded by Pope Paul 6th who proceeded with the 2nd Vatican Council until its final session in December 1965. There was a gradual introduction of the dialogue Mass, the use of English and sermons at Mass. The new rite of Low Mass and use of English in the administration of the Sacraments came into force on November 28th 1964. By this time Fr. McShane had been a priest for forty years so it must have been quite a challenge for him to lead his parishioners through all these alterations.
Fr. McShane celebrated his Golden Jubilee in 1974 having spent the previous 36 years as parish priest of St. Patrick's. Fr. McShane became ill in 1976 and was looked after in the parish presbytery by his housekeeper until his death on October 7th. He was buried in Meadowfield Cemetery close to the church to which he had given half the years of his life.
Fr. Thomas Laidler (1976-1979) (read more)
Fr. Thomas Laidler succeeded Fr. McShane as parish priest in 1976. Fr. Laidler was ordained at Ushaw on June 29th 1941 and served in Hebburn and Whitley Bay before becoming the first parish priest of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, West Monkseaton, which had formed in 1969. One of his innovations was a weekly newsletter which commenced in late 1976 and continued through his three year term. His first move towards re-ordering the church was to have the altar rails, baptismal font and pulpit taken from the church. In May 1979 Fr. Laidler moved to Prudhoe where he remained as parish priest until his retirement to Carntyne Residential Home, Hexham in June 1991. He died in Hexham on July 9th 1994. Fr. Laidler had started the re-ordering of the church but it was left to his successor to carry it through to completion.
Fr. Joseph Hughes (1979-2001) (read more)
Fr. Hughes succeeded Fr. Laidler as parish priest of St. Patrick's in May 1979. The message Fr. Hughes gave to the congregation was "let the renewal of ourselves go hand in hand with the renewal of our church". Fr. Hughes had Eucharistic ministers to help with distribution of Holy Communion at vigil and Sunday Masses but he always took Communion to the sick and housebound himself, and was a tireless hospital visitor, always to parishioners, and often to friends and relatives of parishioners.
He loved the school and the children with one of the highlights of his year being the May Procession when a statue of Our Lady was carried around the grounds and the church. His Golden Jubilee came in July 1997 but he did not want any celebrations of it in the parish. He went off to Lourdes to spend it in the way he preferred. He was quite touched, on his return, to discover that so many parishioners had marked the occasion with cards and little presents for him.
2001 started with parishioners growing ever more concerned about his state of health. In March he was unable to carry on and was taken into hospital. Fr. Dominic McGivern, who lived in Durham, was asked by the Bishop to look after the parish for a few weeks. It became clear the Fr. Hughes was not going to be able to return to his duties, and by the end of April he had taken up residence with the Little Sisters in Newcastle. Fr. Hughes died on January 23rd 2004.
A Decade of Change (read more)
Fr. Dominic McGivern came to St. Patrick's in April 2001 and made quite an impact during his few weeks in the parish. He began to organise the special ministers to take Holy Communion to the sick and housebound, he encouraged more altar servers to come forward and, in response to expressed interest, he helped to organise a choir. On Sunday May 19th 2001 Bishop Ambrose visited the parish and celebrated Mass. The following week an announcement was made that Fr. Tony Battle was going to be the new parish priest, which was followed by a letter from Fr. Tony in June, before he took up residence in the presbytery at the beginning of July.
Fr. Tony had only been parish priest for about three months when the first warnings were sounded about groupings of parishes. With these proposals in mind Fr. Tony asked for volunteers to train as lay leaders and got six people who were willing to do so.
A social committee had been formed after the coming of Fr. Tony and he asked them to organise a party for the parish to celebrate his 60th birthday on February 9th 2003. The party was a great success and all the proceeds were given to the Lourdes Fund.
At the Masses on the weekend of Sunday 10th March we were given the news that Bishop Ambrose had asked Frs. Tony Battle and Martin Morris to assume responsibility for Esh and Langley Park, as well as their present duties. Changes were taking place in the higher echelons of the Diocese in that Bishop Ambrose had retired and, by June, we had Bishop Kevin Dunn as our new Bishop, hearing his first letter to the people of the diocese on Saturday June 18th 2004.
As the year progressed people began to realise that Fr. Tony was not well. In November he told parishioners that he had been struggling for a couple of months with an abdominal complaint which was now under hospital investigation. He was hoping for a diagnosis soon and some course of helpful treatment to see a return to health. This was not to be and by early December a tumour on the liver had been revealed. Fr. Stephen Watson was sent to the parish to assist Fr. Martin while Fr. Tony was ill. On Monday January 3rd 2003 Fr. Tony died peacefully at 5pm.
Fr. Stephen Watson continued to serve the parish and the cluster with Fr. Martin but in June 2005 we were given news of yet more change. Fr. Martin Morris was leaving Ushaw Moor St. Joseph's, and the cluster, to go to St. Aloysius, Hebburn. We received a letter from Fr. Michael Griffiths of St Aloysius, Hebburn to say that the Bishop had asked him to be the co-ordinating pastor of all five churches.
Fr. Stephen stayed until September when he left to study in Rome for a year. Fr. Alan MacKnight, recently retired, moved into the apartment in the church house in September to lend a hand in the cluster. A period of relative stability followed, the only changes in 2006 being the movement of Holydays which were solemnities of the Lord being moved to Sundays.
On Sunday July 12th 2009 we were informed that Fr. Brian Murphy was coming in September to be responsible for St. Patrick's and Willington. On September 1st Fr. Alan celebrated his last Mass at St. Patrick's before his move to Dipton. Refreshments were provided afterwards in the school hall. On the weekend of September 20/21st we were glad to welcome Fr. Brian who had taken up residence in Willington – only ten minutes from St. Patrick's by car.
Fr. Brian semi-retired in ??? with sole responsibility for St. Thomas of Canterbury, Willington. Our parish was extremely fortunate with Fr. Robert Riedling's appointment – from Sydney, Australia – who currently serves St. Patrick's in conjunction with his academic studies at Durham University, where he is postgraduate theology student.

Cristiano Ronaldo completes £173m-a-year transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr (photos)
Cristiano Ronaldo has completed a transfer to Saudi Arabian side, Al-Nassr following his bitter departure from Manchester United.
The 37-year-old had been without a club since United mutually terminated his contract in November, ending a tumultuous second spell at Old Trafford.
He was sacked after an explosive and unsanctioned interview with Piers Morgan, in which he criticised manager Erik ten Hag and club owners the Glazers while claiming that he was "betrayed" by the club.
Now the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has found a new team in Al-Nassr where he is expected to earn around £173million per year in the Middle East.
A statement from the club on Friday night, December 30 read: "This is more than history in the making.
"This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome, Cristiano, to your new home."
Ronaldo added: "Al Nassr's vision is very inspiring and impressive. I look forward to a different league experience in a different country. I am excited to join my team-mates as soon as possible."
Al-Nassr currently sit at the top of the Saudi Pro League, having won seven of their opening 10 matches.

There is nothing mocking about a mocktail. I stopped being able to drink after my stroke. Rather than bemoan the fact that I can't enjoy a merlot, chianti or fab pinot noir, I now am now deep into the exploration of mocktails. Add the further challenge that they need to be low in sugar and free of food dyes to meet my funky dietary requirements. My drink du jour is the Arnold Palmer. A good one is slightly sweet with sour undernotes. My easy peasy version is simply store bought iced tea, with lemonade and a splash of peach juice. So 3/4 iced tea, 1/4 cup lemonade and a splash of peach juice. I follow that up with a twist of lemon, for a stronger sour note. But I''ve been poking around and found some far fancier versions. Check out the following recipes. You can really have fun varying it by making different types of iced tea like, Hibiscus which will give it a pink color. The three to one ratio of tea to lemonade keeps the drink from becoming too sweet. Make a raspberry one and add some fruit to the bottom and a spring of mint to make it festive.
And as mint, ginger and lime are one of my favorite flavor combos, here is a recipe for a non-alcoholic Moscow Mule.
I am currently experimenting with simple syrups made with Agave Nectar which will sweeten a drink but is less likely to give you a sugar crash.
Try offering a few mocktail options at your next party as someone needs to be the designated driver, but wants to have a fun drink too.
This book, Zero-Proof Cocktails by Liz Scott is filled with tasty ideas and well worth the investment if you are going alcohol free like me. If you have a great recipe, I'd love for you to share it in the comments section. Thank you.


Headed out to Gaustadjordet with P and the Summit and Vorza.
Fun - the summit is better on the snow of course - but there's just enough ice free for the vorza too.
Lost two of the snow chains at the end (switched to 2x3s and gave the summit a bashing) - found part of one of them - so I'll have to do some replacements for next year.
Vorza got a little dirty :) In fact both needed hosing down when we got home.


I have two modes: procrastinate all the things or do all the things. Which means it took months to decide to go to therapy, weeks to make the first appointment, but, now that I'm going, I want to finish working through all the issues as quickly as possible. Unfortunately for me, therapy doesn't work that way.
Original image copyright by the ever so awesome Hyperbole and a Half. I used memebetter.com to add my own words.
When I mentioned to my therapist that I was struggling with the slow progress, because I want to "fix all the issues," she reiterated the need to build skills and take my time, to make sure I'm really healing and really building new skills. To help put things in perspective, she suggested I journal on some of the victories and small wins I've had so far.
As I thought through this suggestion over the next few days, I realized it was something I wanted to do on a recurring basis, and something I want to share here. So, this is the first in what I'm hoping will be a regular recurring series of posts, wherein I celebrate my wins.
Staying on my meds. I dislike taking meds on a regular basis, but I voluntarily went back on them, and they have been helping.
Going to therapy on a regular basis. It took a long time to decide to go, and a long time to get up the nerve to make an appointment this past January. 4 months later, I'm still going.
This blog. Journaling is such a helpful thing for me, and I truly enjoy writing, but without an end goal or deadline, it's hard for me to dedicate time for it.
Walking, more days than not. I don't hit my goal of 10k steps most days, and that's OK, but I am building a habit of walking.
I found some great band-aids to help keep from picking scabs as much. These waterproof Nexcare bandages stay in place wonderfully, and the edge is very thin, so it blends well with the skin, which I love, because it means the edges don't peel up or catch on anything.
On a related note, finding different fidgets to keep my hands busy. Whether I need to find something to keep focused and calm during a session, or I need something to keep from picking when I'm feeling awkward or stressed, these have become a wonderful tool to keep around. I'm including here my "calm down" bottle, which I made last year, and which has been a great tool when I need to re-focus and breathe.
Clockwise from top left: Calm down bottle, fidget dodecahedron and edamame keychain (dodecahedron has a lot of things to keep my hands busy, and the edamame was recommended on a list of fidget toys to prevent picking), Large squishies, small "mochi" (silicone) cat squishy.
Finally, on a more serious note, I'm able to externalize my depression. I can recognize what thoughts are mine, and which are being fed to me by the depression. I think of my depression as a separate character in my story, rather than the entirety of who I am.
That's about it for my list this time. I'm hoping to do one of these celebrating victories and small wins every month-ish, so keep your eyes open.
Have you had any victories or small wins lately?

First launched in 1965, the Aston Martin Short Chassis Volante was the first model to use the 'Volante' name with just 12 LHD cars ever built. Based on a DB5 convertible chassis, this model carries the split corner bumpers and rear lamps as used on the DB6 Volante and is considered by many to be one of the most sought-after and rare Touring models produced by Aston Martin.
We are delighted to offer is this extremely original example which was delivered in December 1965 to Los Angeles as the original motor show car. The build sheet specification included Normalair air conditioning (still present), Britax safety belts and exhibition plates lettered "Volante."
Presented today in its original colour combination of Autumn Gold with Beige trim, and is further complemented by a Tan Everflex hood, manual gearbox and Normalair air conditioning. This matching numbers car has been extensively restored for its current owner, overseen by David Jack of Aston Engineering.

During liver REtreat, some may experience discomfort such as headache, fatigue, indigestion, etc. These are actually reversal syndrome which indicate that our body is recovering gradually from imbalance. The symptoms will disappear and you will soon regain your vitality.
Our liver (the largest internal organ) is perhaps the most congested of all organs in our body. Pesticides and food additives, bad fats, synthetic chemicals in household products, beauty and personal care products and medicines, etc can all disrupt the hundreds of intricate biochemical processes of the liver.
Exposure of radiation from mobile phones, computers, especially wireless devices is another silent liver killer. As most of us are spending almost all the time using these devices, it has become a critical health issue.
Liver disharmony is closely associated with emotional stress such as anger, impatience, frustration, hatred and anxiety. Accumulation of such emotions can increase blood acid level and intoxicate the liver.
While avoiding both environmental and emotional harms are almost impossible, conducting a regular liver cleansing has therefore become essential.
Constantly feeling angry, frustrated or depressed. Prone to mood swing or overly emotional.
Tiredness, sleep disorder (particularly waking up at 3am in the morning).
Dark circles under eyes, dull skin.
Liver performs at its peak from 1am to 3am. Overwork, sleep or eat too late will interfere liver detoxification function. Sleep before 10pm is best for your liver.
Liver is the warmest organ of our body. Perform hot compress using chamomile or yarrow tea to protect your liver.
Consume high fibre food to prevent constipation. Toxic waste stuck in the colon can be re-absorbed into the blood stream, causing self-poisoning and further burden to the liver.

HJELVIK // Bound For Glory
Nov 24, 2020 / WORDS Brian Giffin / PHOTOS Tom Lund / Hard Noise!
Erland Hjelvik hasn't taken much interest in the latest album from his former band Kvelertak, from whom he split in 2018.

REVIEWS: MR BUNGLE: The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo // BRING ME THE HORIZON: POST HUMAN:SURVIVAL HORROR // KILLER BE KILLED: Reluctant Hero // JINJER: Alive In Melbourne // HJELVIK: Welcome to Hel
"I listened to one song," he says from his home in Norway, "but I feel like it's peeping through your ex-girlfriend's window to see what she's doing, or something like that."
The singer's departure from the Norwegian black n' roll party machine was a shock to many, coming as it did in the wake of third album Nattesferd's chart success across Europe and tours with Metallica and Ghost. These things rarely happen out of the blue, however, and Hjelvik had known it was coming for some time.
"It just wasn't working," he says, without any bitterness. "I tried coming up with solutions and in the end I just had to call a shovel a shovel and figured I would be better off on my own."
Slightly more than two years later, Erland Hjelvik has burst back into the spotlight with his solo album. Billing himself under his surname stylised in capital letters, HJELVIK (pronounced Yell-vik for the non-Norwegians among us) is a bold return for the man whom no less a figure than James Hetfield has heaped with praise for his wild live performances. Welcome to Hel is an album inspired by his Norse heritage and old musical influences, a rousing volume he describes as "blackened Viking metal".
You can say it's overdone to sing about Norse mythology, but it's just so perfect for metal in my opinion. The music is supposed to sound primeval and ancient—at least that's what I think—and you need the right topic to match that, and there's nothing better than drawing on mythology
[ Erland Hjelvik ]
"It turned out to be a little more varied than what I expected," Hjelvik explains, "so I had to come up with something that would fit all the songs."
Welcome to Hel is nothing if not triumphant and fun, rich and varied but immediate and stirring, a personal return to the type of songs he enjoys making the most. In Kvelertak, he says, "the songs just kept getting longer and longer, and for me that was a little frustrating for me where it was like, here is five minutes where I would have to go and have a cigarette break or something like that! I like it when it's short and punchy and to the point. That's how I think things should be. It suits my singing style, too."
After leaving Kvelertak, Hjelvik took a break from music to, in his words, "decompress, and do things that needed to be done around the house, like paint." While he was doing that, he did what any metal fan worth their salt would do, and busted out his old favourites to help him pass the time. Before long, he was becoming inspired.
"It was good for me just to deflate that way, and I listened to a lot of music while I did that. Mostly old classics, 80s metal bands like old Metallica and Slayer and I listened to a lot of bands like Venom and Mercyful Fate and Bathory, of course. Also, early 90s black metal – Swedish bands like Dissection and Nifelheim. Nifelheim, especially, was a big inspiration for me, and also all the Norwegian bands as well."
I'm definitely happy to be back so soon. I knew I was going to play music again in some capacity, I just didn't know what shape it would take.
For lyrics, Hjelvik only had to look around him. While candidly admitting that the subject of Norse mythology has been done to death by metal bands over the years, for him there was no question it was going to come out in his songs.
"It's just so perfect for metal in my opinion. The music is supposed to sound primeval and ancient—at least that's what I think—and you need the right topic to match that, and there's nothing better than drawing on mythology. That just feels more real to me, instead of relying on Lord of the Rings type stuff, or politics, or whatever bands sing about!" He laughs. "Sing about what you know, and I'm surrounded by Viking graves and monuments and rocks, all the history and mythology around where I live, so it makes total sense for me to sing about those type of things."
Ancient legends are open to interpretation and adaption, of course: "I read the stories and then when I have to write lyrics, I try to find parallels to my own life so I can relate more to make them more personal and interesting to me when I have to sing them."
Hjelvik composed the entire album singlehandedly, but to complete the finished product he brought together a band of seasoned musicians drawn from around the world: guitarist Rob Steinway from US old schoolers Skelator, ex-Benighted rhythm section Kevin Foley and Alexis Lieu from France and fellow Norwegian Remi Nygård from Inculter, who will join HJELVIK when they eventually play live. The final touch was provided by album art legend Joe Petagno, whose interests in Norse mythology also run quite deep.
"He was a great guy to work with, and just the perfect match. He lives in Denmark now, and he's really into Norse mythology, so I just sent him the lyrics and some demos and he came back a little while later and told me the whole concept came to me in a dream and he sent me a really awesome sketch. It's just really cool how the whole thing came out."
Quitting Kvelertak at the moment he did could have spelled the end for Hjelvik's career. Instead, the spirit of metal and of his ancient ancestors gave him the inspiration for a glorious return.
"I'm definitely happy to be back so soon. I knew I was going to play music again in some capacity, I just didn't know what shape it would take. And I'm really happy that it did. I'm just really proud of the album I made, so I hope others just really enjoy it."
