Ellie Mack was everyone's favorite in the family. At fifteen, she had the perfect life: a hot boyfriend, excellent marks in school, and the happiness most dream of. That is…until one day when she goes to the library and never comes back.
That was how she'd once viewed her perfect life: as a series of bad smells and unfulfilled duties, petty worries and late bills.
Ten years later, Laurel Mack, Ellie's mom is living the exact opposite life. Now divorced, she still clings on the thought of that Ellie may still be alive. One day, her luck does a complete one-eighty. Spending some time alone at a local cafe, a charming fella encourages Laurel to share a piece of cake and the rest is history!
When I read a book it feels like the real life and when I put the book down it's like I can go back into the dream.
Soon enough, Laurel becomes a part of his family and is introduced to his youngest daughter…oh and by the way, she happens to look just like Ellie! With Poppy sharing the same spirit, Laurel starts question her new perfect life.
Can any man be so perfect? What is he hiding? What really happened to Ellie? Is there any relation between Poppy and Ellie, and what does Floyd have to do with it? Who else is hiding something?

Minority Rights Group > News > Press Releases > Threat to populations in the Middle East still greatest from government forces, despite ISIS
Press Releases | 31 Jul 2015
Threat levels to civilians in seven countries in the Middle East ranked highly in the 2015 Peoples under Threat global ranking have increased due to attacks by the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). However, overall, populations in the region are more at risk from their own governments, says Minority Rights Group International (MRG).
Attacks attributed to the opposition extremist group ISIS have spread in recent months to Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and Afghanistan, and have intensified in Syria and Iraq, says the international rights organisation.
'The threat to the Middle East from ISIS should not be under-estimated, but most people have more to fear from their own governments,' says Mark Lattimer, MRG's Executive Director. 'Supporting anything or anyone who opposes ISIS could be a big mistake.'
The 2015 release of the Peoples under Threat index seeks to identify those communities around the world that are most at risk of genocide, mass political killing or systematic violent repression, and is available as an online map.
Syria, Iraq, Central African Republic, Egypt and Ukraine are amongst the most significant risers in the 2015 ranking.
With over 200,000 people now dead in the conflict and up to half of the population forced from their homes, the crisis in Syria,which for the first time tops the Peoples under Threat table, continues to worsen. Extreme sectarianism has now infected much of the country, with nearly all the remaining Christian communities living in enclaves in government-held areas. Only in the Kurdish-held regions of the north has there been a serious attempt at establishing an inclusive democracy, says MRG.
Iraq headed the table when the Peoples under Threat index was first published in 2006 and it has never been far from the top of the index in the intervening years. Over 14,000 civilians were killed in 2014, many of them in massacres perpetrated by ISIS as it expelled minority communities, including Yezidis, Shabak, Chaldo-Assyrians and Turkmen, from Mosul, Sinjar and the Ninewa plain. Thousands of Yezidi women and girls remain in ISIS captivity, and the risk remains acute for Shi'a communities threatened by ISIS and Sunnis at risk of retaliation from Iraqi Security Forces and allied Shi'a militias.
Conflict in the Central African Republic, which has risen 4 places this year to occupy number ten in the ranking, continued between the largely Muslim former Séléka rebels and anti-Balaka militias comprised mainly of Christians. Upwards of 850,000 people – nearly one-fifth of the country's population – were refugees or internally displaced at the end of 2014, and many tens of thousands more fled their homes in the first months of 2015. A controversial peace agreement was signed in April 2015 between ex-Séléka and anti-Balaka leaders in Nairobi.
Egypt rose another three places in the index this year. Ongoing fighting and toughening security measures have affected the lives of Sinai Bedouin, who have long suffered political and economic marginalization. Human rights activists also continued to criticize the government for doing too little to provide security for Coptic and other Christian communities, especially in Upper Egypt, where individuals, their homes and places of worship regularly came under attack.
'The dominance of Middle Eastern and African states in the 2015Peoples under Threat table was perhaps inevitable,' says Mark Lattimer. 'But of equal concern is the rise in risk in two of the world's major powers: Russia and China.'
In China, which has risen a dramatic 15 places in the table, there was a severe escalation in the tactics used by Uighur militants seeking independence in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. Over 200 people were killed in terrorist attacks, hundreds detained in mass arrests and dozens of death sentences handed down. Little has been done, says MRG, to address the legacy of under-development and exclusion of Uighur communities that lies behind the unrest, and the government's strategy of labelling Uighur human rights activists as terrorists has forestalled attempts to improve the situation.
The return of a more autocratic style of government in theRussian Federation, which occupies position 16 in the table, has coincided with rising xenophobia in Russian society against migrants, whether from abroad or from the Caucasus. But the threat is greatest in the North Caucasus itself, where regular clashes continue between Russian forces and Islamist separatists in Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and, particularly, Dagestan, says MRG.
While the rising threat level in the Russian Federation has left minorities there living in fear, Russia's proxy war with Ukraine, which has risen a huge 39 places in the Peoples under Threatrankings, has seen whole communities in eastern Ukraine sheltering in their basements or pushed from their homes. Some two million Ukrainians have now been displaced within the east or have fled the country. Meanwhile, in Russian-annexed Crimea, the voices of human rights activists have been suppressed.
'In both Donbas and Crimea, peoples' rights have become the object of political manipulation. What we need now is to support better human rights monitoring on the ground, and to protect human rights defenders,' says Lattimer.
2015 marks the 10th year of the Peoples under Threat rankings. Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq have consistently topped the table.

The rains really have brought life to the land. Anything planted will grow; you actually have to try pretty hard to prevent plants from growing! Back in London, I used to battle against the elements to try and grow herbs in sad little planter boxes. Here, I have a mint plant that is threatening to take over the entire garden and possibly most of Katete, and a basil plant that is following closely behind. My vegetable patch has also been coming along well, and I am particularly proud to have grown my first aubergine! To add to my list of fruit trees, I have now discovered bananas growing in abundance at the back of the garden, which bodes well for smoothie making!
The prolific garden produce does mean that I have to be creative in the kitchen to find ways to use it all. Mint has been working its way into salads, risottos, and was quite useful when it turned Pimms o'clock at our last braai. The basil, tomatoes and aubergines have brought an Italian flair to Katete (and given me an arm work-out in the process) with homemade basil focaccia, homemade margherita pizza and aubergine parmigiana.
It has been over a week now since the last proper rainfall, and with each day that passes, a bit more moisture leaves the ground, bringing us ever closer to dry season… I want the rains to stay, not just for the awesome purple and orange skies, and the fields of dancing sunflowers and the lovely vegetables in my garden… but mostly because the farewell to the rain brings me ever closer to my own farewell to Zambia, and I'm just not ready for that yet.
Oh, those flowers and the summery lake scene look SO GOOD to these winter-weary eyes. Although it's technically Spring here, it sure doesn't look it; it's only -2.2°C right now, with snow flurries, as if we needed more snow.
If I were in Zambia, I wouldn't be looking forward to the dry season either, not after the lushness of the rainy season. But the seasons turn as they will, immune to our wishes.
That pizza looks so tasty! And you have bananas right there in your garden! So much abundance, free for the taking.
After reading your posts, I can see why you are reluctant to think of leaving Zambia, the land of many charms and beauty and challenge. Perhaps you'll get to visit there sometimes in the coming years. For now, though, I know you and Will are enjoying your Zambian stay to the full.
Hi Natalie. You seemed to have become the perfect allotment gardenier. All your products are really exotic, and must be great fun cooking with.
Your weather comes in blocks of either sun or rain. I wish we could at least have that type of consistency. As SusyR says, its cold and snowing. No chance of even planting anything ready for the summer. This time last year it was 20 dec C, today -1 deg C. Your flowes look great, even our snow drops are struggling at the moment.
Sheila and I could have done with a little of your sun recently in Tenerife. We had a week out there and there was only one day of sun. To finish us off, the last 2 days were 100 mile an hour wind and rain. While eating in one of the restaurants you would have thought it should have been open air, as the rain was pouring through the roof.
How quick that 9 months has gone. You must be getting both excited and sad at the thought of it coming to an end.
Reading your notes has put both Sheila and I sharing your trials and tribulations, and tring to understand how different the country and its cultures are.

The Root of All the Evil in Fundamental Physics
August 12th 19, 03:33 PM posted to sci.astro
"Lee [Smolin] and I discussed these paradoxes at great length for many months, starting in January 2001. We would meet in cafés in South Kensington or Holland Park to mull over the problem. THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVIL WAS CLEARLY SPECIAL RELATIVITY. All these paradoxes resulted from well known effects such as length contraction, time dilation, or E=mc^2, all basic predictions of special relativity. And all denied the possibility of establishing a well-defined border, common to all observers, capable of containing new quantum gravitational effects." Joao Magueijo, Faster Than the Speed of Light, p. 250 http://www.amazon.com/Faster-Than-Sp.../dp/0738205257
Einstein's constant-speed-of-light postulate is OBVIOUSLY false. Physicists know that and even try to tell the truth sometimes but there is a problem. Fundamental physics is entirely based on the false constancy and will collapse without it. In that regard telling the truth is suicidal:
"The whole of physics is predicated on the constancy of the speed of light," Joao Magueijo, a cosmologist at Imperial College London and pioneer of the theory of variable light speed, told Motherboard. "So we had to find ways to change the speed of light without wrecking the whole thing too much." https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...t-speed-slowed
Fundamental physics will have to restart from scratch. See a possible restart in a series of tweets he https://twitter.com/pentcho_valev
Paul Davies: "Was Einstein wrong? The idea of a variable speed of light, championed by an angry young scientist, could one day topple Einstein's theory of relativity. Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2 is the only scientific formula known to just about everyone. The "c" here stands for the speed of light. It is one of the most fundamental of the basic constants of physics.. Or is it? In recent years a few maverick scientists have claimed that the speed of light might not be constant at all. Shock, horror! Does this mean the next Great Revolution in Science is just around the corner?" http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ma...einsteinwrong/
Nima Arkani-Hamed (06:09): "Almost all of us believe that spacetime doesn't really exist, spacetime is doomed and has to be replaced..." https://youtu.be/U47kyV4TMnE?t=369
Nobel Laureate David Gross observed, "Everyone in string theory is convinced...that spacetime is doomed. But we don't know what it's replaced by." https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26563
"Rethinking Einstein: The end of space-time. [...] Horava, who is at the University of California, Berkeley, wants to rip this fabric apart and set time and space free from one another in order to come up with a unified theory that reconciles the disparate worlds of quantum mechanics and gravity - one the most pressing challenges to modern physics." https://www.newscientist.com/article...of-space-time/
New Scientist: "Saving time: Physics killed it. Do we need it back? [...] Einstein landed the fatal blow at the turn of the 20th century." https://www.newscientist.com/article...-need-it-back/
"Was Einstein wrong? At least in his understanding of time, Smolin argues, the great theorist of relativity was dead wrong. What is worse, by firmly enshrining his error in scientific orthodoxy, Einstein trapped his successors in insoluble dilemmas..." https://www.amazon.com/Time-Reborn-C.../dp/B00AEGQPFE
"And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin." http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013...reality-review
What scientific idea is ready for retirement? Steve Giddings: "Spacetime. Physics has always been regarded as playing out on an underlying stage of space and time. Special relativity joined these into spacetime... [...] The apparent need to retire classical spacetime as a fundamental concept is profound..." https://www.edge.org/response-detail/25477
"You want to go back to a notion of space-time that preceded the 20th century, and it wants to ignore the essential lessons about space-time that the 20th century has taught us." Joao Magueijo: "Yes, that's right. So it's nouveau-Newtonian." At 53:29 he http://pirsa.org/displayFlash.php?id=16060116
Joao Magueijo, Niayesh Afshordi, Stephon Alexander: "So we have broken fundamentally this Lorentz invariance which equates space and time [...] It's the other postulate of relativity, that of constancy of c, that has to give way..." https://youtu.be/kbHBBtsrU1g?t=1431
"We've known for decades that space-time is doomed," says Arkani-Hamed. "We know it is not there in the next version of physics." http://discovermagazine.com/2014/jan...ure-of-physics
In the next version of physics, the original malignancy, Einstein's 1905 false, even nonsensical axiom
"The speed of light is invariable"
will be replaced with the correct axiom
"The wavelength of light is invariable".

Gal Gadot Will Play Classic Hollywood Actress Hedy Lamarr in a New Miniseries
In addition to her acting career, Lamarr invented a precursor to Wi-Fi.
By Caroline Hallemann
Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot will soon play a hero of another sort: Austrian-born actress of the silver screen, Hedy Lamarr. Here's what we know about the project thus far.
Gal Gadot is set to star and executive produce a new Showtime miniseries about the actress.
An MGM star in the late '30s, '40s, and '50s, Lamarr appeared in movies like Samson and Delilah, the highest-grossing film of 1949, and Boom Town with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, and was considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Snow White's iconic princess aesthetic was even modeled on her dark hair and porcelain skin. But Lamarr's accomplishments off-screen were perhaps even more significant than her on-screen successes.
In addition to her acting career, Lamarr was an inventor, and discovered a frequency-based technology that would later be used in Wi-Fi, GPS, and bluetooth.
The team behind the camera is starting to come together.
The show will be written by Sarah Treem (The Affair), who will also executive producer. Other EPs include Warren Littlefield (The Handmaid's Tale), Katie Robbins (The Last Tycoon), and Gadot's husband, Jaron Varsano.
The project was announced at the TCA meetings in August of 2019.
"The life of Hedy Lamarr was a truly fascinating one. She stood at the forefront of many issues that challenge women and our society today," said Showtime's Jana Winograde, according to EW.
"In Gal Gadot, we have found the transcendent actress to portray the deeply complex Lamarr. And with the award-winning talents of Sarah Treem and Warren Littlefield, this is going to be a special series."
The as-yet-untitled series wouldn't be the only project to revisit Lamarr and her story.
Last year, the documentary Bombshell, The Hedy Lamarr Story explored the actress's life. Watch the trailer for that film below:

Kith and Iro Release the Must-Have Shearling Coat for Fall
Check out the complete Iro x Kith collection.
By Kristen Bateman
As far as fashion collaborations go, Kith is king. The New York-based fashion retailer is known for its frequent collaborations with multiple (and sometimes unexpected) brands that conjure up highly covetable products that bring out the '90s fangirl in all of us. The label recently launched a throwback line featuring Power Rangers, which consists of an assortment of hoodies, tees, crewnecks, and caps that seriously brought on some waves of nostalgia. For foodies, Kith built pop-up shops in New York City and Miami earlier this month in partnership with beloved cereal brand Cap'n Crunch.
On Friday, the streetwear purveyor will unveil its latest collection with French fashion brand Iro. Kith owner Ronnie Fieg met with the Iro team in Paris during fashion week and immediately fell in love with the brand's chic-meets-edgy aesthetic and the quality of its products, including the fabrics. "From there it was about translating Iro's unique design language through the Kith lens in a way that could resonate with both the Iro and the Kith customer," Fieg tells Allure.
4 denim styles you should try now:
Within the nine-piece collection, you'll find elements of effortless Parisian style mixed with New York's downtown edge. There are cream-colored shearling coats with asymmetrical zips and a bomber jacket embroidered with the names of both brands. The New York sensibility comes through in the laid-back lace-up crewneck, sweatpants, and men's oversize hoodie. Best of all? You can pull off the looks in an urban setting as well as the countryside. For proof, just take a look at the gorgeous look book, which was photographed in upstate New York. There's no reason why you can't stage your own fall foliage inspired #OOTD.
"The partnership with Iro was very organic," says Fieg. "I believe the end result is a strong statement on what is considered 'high fashion' today, as the lines continue to be blurred. Kith and Iro share this vision, which has culminated into this beautiful assortment of products."
Kith made its New York fashion week debut in September with a collection that emphasized the many collaborations Fieg experimented with in the past, including capsules with brands such as Columbia, BAPE, Aimé Leon Dore, Timberland, and Off-White, to name a few. Priced between $175 to $2,495, the Iro x Kith collection will arrive in stores, online, and Bergdorf Goodman this Friday, and will likely be worn by the likes of Hailey Baldwin and Gigi Hadid, who are both fans of the brand. Check out the full look book below.

Seahawks' Lynch defiant in final media session
By SPNW Staff January 29, 2015 5 Comments3 Mins Read
Forced by the NFL to meet with reporters for the third day in a row, Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch opened his Thursday session with a statement but continued to ignore most questions. / Drew McKenzie, Sportspress Northwest
Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch finally opened up Thursday in his NFL-mandated media session, expressing frustration over why he is being forced to speak with reporters when he feels he has nothing to say.
It was the third day in a row Lynch made himself available after the NFL, citing the collective bargaining agreement, reportedly threatened to fine Lynch $500,000 fine if he didn't cooperate.
During Tuesday's Media Day, Lynch repeatedly said "I'm just here so I won't get fined." Wednesday, the phrase du jour was, "You know why I'm here."
In his final interview of the week before the Seahawks meet the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX, Lynch began with an opening statement that was more of a lecture, before sidestepping questions, then departing when he reached the mandatory minimum five minutes.
He again wore a hat and sunglasses from his recently launched "Beast Mode" clothing line, which could draw a fine for violating the league's apparel policy.
"Hey, look, all week, I done told y'all what's up and for some reason y'all continue to come back," Lynch said at the team's hotel. "You do the same that y'all did. I don't know what story you are trying to get out of me. I don't know what image y'all are trying to portray of me. But it don't matter what y'all think, what y'all say about me. Because when I go home at night, the same people I look in the face — my family — that I love, that's all that really matters to me. So y'all can go and make up whatever y'all want to make up because I don't say enough to put anything out on me.
"But I'll come to y'all's event (media briefings) and you can shove cameras and microphones down my throat. And when I'm at home in my environment, I don't see y'all. But y'all are mad at me. And if y'all ain't mad at me, then what y'all here for? I ain't got nothing for y'all, though. I told you all that. So y'all should know that. But y'all will sit here like right now and continue to do the same thing. I'm here preparing for a game and y'all want to ask me all these questions, which is understandable. I can be down with that.
"But I told y'all, I'm not about to say nothing. So for the remainder of my three minutes because I'm here and available for y'all. I'm here. I'm available for y'all. I done talked. All of my requirements are fulfilled. So now for this next three minutes, I'll just be looking at y'all the way y'all are looking at me. Thank you."
Pressed by reporters, Lynch gave shout-outs to teammates, his Family First Foundation, Oakland, CA, his hometown, and to "real Africans."
Here's a link to Lynch's full interview on Seahawks.com

Great 'disguised Own Brand' Hunt.
I want to use the insider information of all MoneySavers to try and compile a list. Do you work in/or at a factory producing such goods. If you do - what's the difference or are they just the same things in disguise.
This could be both food and electrical or other goods.
PS thanks to sumosaver for the idea for this.

Does that mean they are of a higher quality because of this?
A family member works for a leading supermarket told me that 'leading' brands have to be put at eye level on the shelf. Apparently the manufactuers pay the supermarkets to do so. Its all to do will psychology. So we have to start bending and stretching to get the same stuff! By the way I often try the economy brands. Some of them are yuk (Tesco's economy tea for example) but some are really ok (Tesco's economy chocolate digestive bars are really nice) so give it a go.
British Bakeries make Marks & Spencers bread. I know this because my other half used to work for them.

Humm......don't know if this is quite what is wanted but I have a family member who used to work for Tricity-Bendix as a washing machine engineer & he knew for a fact that the internal parts/motors/etc of all Tricity-Bendix products (ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers etc) were made by Zanussi. Zanussi brand appliances retail for almost twice the price of Tricity-Bendix but the only difference was the external housing of the product. Beware, this might have changed as he hasn't worked for them for a couple of years though.
On the subject of digestives, Sainsburys milk chocolate digestives are just the best!!! The chocolate is nice and they are just scrummy! I prefer them to McVities so whether its because the chocolate bit is nicer I don't know.
My nan works for Burtons Biscuits and apparently it's all down to the ingredients.
For example the cheaper brands will use cheaper ingredients such as freeze dried eggs and the like, whereas the more expensive brands (M&S included) will use more expensive ingredients (as near to fresh as possible).
I guess the same sort of guidelines would apply to all food products.
Is it me, or is all Corned Beef canned in Brazil and just labelled in the UK? My wife insists on buying Princes branded, when the ASDA own brand has the same stamp on the base of the can!!
I recently had a repair man to my AEG dishwasher. "I've got the same model at home" he told me "But mine's Zannussi"
After a little confussion on my part he explained that there are very few individual manufacturers left. The badge is just a front. My AEG is exactly the same as his Zanussi but the external fascia is altered so that they look different so the consumer doesn't realise.
"Many appliances are no longer made by the companies shown on the logo. Successful brand name companies go bust or are taken over by bigger companies but they usually keep the "old" name for various tactical marketing reasons. In a way, it shouldn't matter who makes which brand, but a couple of concerns should be considered.
Firstly, if a customer is very unhappy with a product, or the service provided by a manufacturer, they are likely to avoid purchasing from that company again. They may well end up purchasing virtually the exact same machine with a different logo complete with the same company service engineers as well as the same company ethos.
Secondly, there are sometimes differences between brands made by the same company - even when the machines are virtually the same. An example of this is with Creda and Hotpoint, both of which are now made by the same company. Hotpoint machines have a free five year parts guarantee but Creda machines don't. There is little difference between the two makes inside, but they are priced differently too. A similar thing occurs with Hoover and Candy who are both owned by Candy. Hoover have a free 5-year parts guarantee, but Candy's don't.
Eventually, all washing machines are likely to be made by just a handful of companies and in fact we aren't that far off from this scenario already. Note that some brands retain all their original differences but are just owned by a rival company and some are virtually the same machine inside with different logos and trimmings. Here is a sample of some of the household names who are owned or made by the same company.
Electrolux: own well over 50 brand names (though not all of them washing machines) Among the more well known ones are AEG, Tricity Bendix, Zanussi.
Candy: own Hoover, Zerowatt and Kelvinator among others.
Merloni: own Ariston, Indesit, New World, Philco, and have just bought a large interest in GDA (who make Hotpoint and Creda)."
So next time I'll be going for the cheap option!!!
If anybody out there is an appliance repair man, or married to one, do you know which models are the same under the different badges?

I've just replaced a ceramic fuse inside a Crown microwave oven. All the working parts were marked Toshiba.
On a general point of the discussion we did a case study at uni which goes as follows. A company will aim to produce a certain of of product (a tin of baked beans). This target is the amount of product that will provide them with a break even point and all of their costs and over heads have been covered. Therefore anything in excess of this is seen as profit. so instead of producing cans for M & S at 10p a tin they can afford to make more and sell at 7p a tin. otherwise once the M & S order had been fulfilled the line would be idle and no income produced. This is why/how companies can afford to do cheap own brand goods. They usually subsitute the ingredients with slightly cheaper goods but these are usually negliable. Obviously this can cause problems when the main brands realise competitors are getting cheaper goods but hey, that live and the risk the company take. It was once said by Mr Heinz (or one of his crones) that they could not tin water for less than 10p a can........how much are tesco beans 7p????
I once worked for Wilkinson Sword at their Cramlington, Northumberland factory. They made Boots own brand razor blades, using thinner steel made in Sweden. Quality control was the same. This was ages ago, though.
I wanted to buy a digital Camera in the sales after christmas, a samsung digimax, as friends of mine bought 1 last year which was easy to use, i just wanted to get the next model up. I found the model No. i needed from the samsung website and checked before the sales started, for the best price. Everybody had it for roughly the same price, so i waited for the sales to begin.
It didn't get reduced anywhere except that an advert from PCWorld had reduced a very similar looking Camera by £40, but it had a different model Number.
I returned to the samsung website and downloaded the Manual for the camera that i wanted to buy, and on the fornt page it listed 3 different Model Numbers for the Same Camera ! the only difference i could find was a bit of blue plastic on the camera body instead of silver !
My tip is : if you know the item you want, Brand & Model, get the manual off the manufacturers website before buying, and check to see if the camera is also known as another model.
It's not uncommon for manufacturers to make a slightly modified version of a product and tie up an exclusivity deal with a chain store in a country. That way the shop can say "exclusive to us"
You don't know Graham Cooke do you?
I worked for Thorntons for 5 years and Cadburys for 2 years. Cadbury do not make chocolates for Thorntons. However, Thorntons make some types of chocolates for Marks and Spencers.

KGB Residency and German-Russian Museum (Karlshorst)
battle of berlin, Bersarin, building, ddr, german-russian, headquarters, history, karlshorst, KGB, museum, nazi, officer, Pioneer School 1, Unconditional surrender, wehrmacht
On 8 May 1945 here the surrender of the German Armed Forces (Wehrmacht) signed the "Unconditional surrender" pact.
The Karlshorst building was erected between 1936 and 1938 as an officers' mess for the German Armed Forces' Pioneer School 1. In the Battle of Berlin at the end of April 1945, the 5th Soviet Shock Army under Colonel General Nikolai Bersarin set up its headquarters there.
After the surrender was first signed on 7 May in Rheims at the headquarters of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, it was ratified in Karlshorst in the evening of 8 to 9 May by Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, General Admiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg and Colonel General Hans-Jürgen Stumpff. Their signatures under the unconditional surrender were accepted by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, Soviet Supreme Commander, and for the Western Headquarters Sir Arthur Tedder, British Air Marshal and Eisenhower's deputy, with U.S. General Carl Spaatz and French General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny as witnesses. These signatures ended the war in Europe and at the same time marked the boundary between two epochs of 20th century European history.
From 1945 to 1949 the building was the main office of the Soviet Military Administration. At that location on 10 October 1949 General Vasily Chuikov granted legal state authority to the first government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Between 1967 and 1994 a museum of the Soviet Armed Forces ("Museum of the Unconditional Surrender of Fascist Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945") was established there in remembrance of the Battle of Berlin and the German surrender.
The KGB residency in East Berlin-Karlshorst was the largest in the world; it produced as much intelligence as an entire directorate back in Moscow thanks to East German efforts. But none of this was known in the West until after the Berlin Wall had fell.
The buildings on the side of the Museum had been left for a long time abandoned, now the process of renovation has started and as usual in Berlin, the former KGB buildings are now appartments.

The municipality of Shanghai, China is located on the Yangtze River Delta on the eastern coast of China. The world's largest population is found in the city of Shanghai, China. Shanghai or Hu is a city that is well-known for its influence mostly in finance, economy, culture, science and technology, and in the international trade. It was called Hu because most of the fishermen here created and used the fishing tool which they called Hu. Since the city has many rivers, lakes, canal, streams, and rich water resources, the major source of income of the villagers was fishing ever since. As the city faced modernization, Shanghai becomes the center for commercial and financial trades of the entire China. The rapid development of the city made it as the most prosperous city in China. Because of the large capitalization, trading volumes, and huge investments being operated and traded in Shanghai, it became as one of the fastest growing and developing city throughout the world. It is home to any of the famous and rich industrial and manufacturing companies in the country that has been well known even throughout the world. The transportation in the city provides a lot of options for people and travelers coming in and going out of the city. The routes for urban buses are extensive, the most extensive network from all over the world. More than a thousand bus lines are operating here, including the world's oldest system for the trolleybus. Shanghai plays an important role in the air, rail, water, and road transportation. In fact, almost fifty-one countries are granted the 72 hours stay VISA-free in many of its international airports for travelers who are taking transfers through China. Shopping in Shanghai is like what it was in Paris, making it known as the Oriental Paris because of the various commercial and shopping centers. This has been regarded as the shoppers' paradise for Shopaholic tourists in Shanghai. Aside from being the world's famous shopping destination, Shanghai is also popular because of the various dining centers. Restaurants here are among the best and the finest in the entire country as they offer a plethora of delectable and exotic food delights that visitors and travelers would love to feast on. There are also a lot of restaurants offering Western foods in the downtown of Shanghai. Hotels are also numerous with different designs and modern creativity, wherein people, mostly travelers would now want to miss dropping by as they choose to stay in Shanghai. Shanghai also offers various tourist attractions and spectacular views, from the historical and traditional religious sites to the towering skyscrapers in the city; there is nothing to miss in a day of Shanghai trip. Entering the city of Shanghai has been already a view to withhold because of the colorful costumes, temples, and markets. Added to that are the attractive arts and culture structures where you can see and learn how the East China meets the West, including all the natural scenery that compliments the beauty and uniqueness of the Chinese people.

Some additional, highly patternistic works made by various manipulations of image files created with a camera or a scanner, or obtained via a screenshot of a visualization of a file on the computer screen. A few are merely manipulated graphically, that is, assembled by simple means. Others depend on superimposition of slightly different versions of a file. One or two are symmetrical, some repeat a pattern, others are interference patterns, and one is homogeneous but non-repeating. Some of them, especially the "Interference" series, are visual analogues to the musical compositions of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Due to their extreme uniformity, most of these images are followed by a detail, enlarged, to give a better idea of the nature of the images.

Will the Scotiabank Centre's score clock make it through the Memorial Cup final?
Tick tock on the clock but the party won't stop (hopefully).
By Caora McKenna
Caora McKenna
From catching snoozy texters to best-dressed dancers on camera, the score clock is a big part of the energy in the arena during the Memorial Cup.
Hockey fans won't be the only people in the Scotiabank Centre holding their breath this weekend. While the Guelph Storm face off against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies tonight, and the winner moves on to take on the Halifax Moosehead on Sunday, Events East staff will be holding their breath too, in hopes that the 17-year-old end-of-its-life score clock holds out till the cup is hoisted above a champion's head.
The clock, purchased in 2002 for $2.2 million, is dangerously close to the end of its life. Its replacement is due before the fall and will be put in place by Prisimview LLC. The LED clock contract was awarded in April for $1.1 million. The video production and control room replacement contract was awarded to Matrix Video Communications Corp. for $1.2 million at regional council on May 14.
At the May 14 council meeting, CAO Jacques Dubé said Events East, in charge of operations at the Scotiabank Centre, has purchased every last part available around the world to keep the clock running. The expectation is "that we should be able to get through the memorial cup without failure. Beyond that, we're not confident," said Dubé.
Spokesperson for Events East, Erin Esiyok-Prime says that changes in technology mean the parts for the clock aren't made any more, and they've run through all the spares. She says they've been talking about replacing the clock for the past two years and having issues for the past five.
The Events East team, says Esiyok-Prime, is doing "everything they can in terms of due diligence to keep it running."
The clock's first big tournament was the 2003 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where team Canada with goaltender Marc-André Fleury lost to an unknown Russian superstar Alexander Ovechkin and his team in the gold medal game. This year is the third time in Mooseheads' 25-year history have made it to Memorial Cup final tournament, its first year hosting. The top team from the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and QMJHL plus the host team get to play in the CHL's top tournament.
The Mooseheads got a bye to the final—sport lingo for skipping a step—by finishing first in the round-robin play after three games, and second- and third- place finishers the Guelph Storm and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies play each other for the second spot in the final in the semi-final tonight. Fourth place finishers and WHL champions Prince Albert were out of the tournament after finishing last in the round robin.
Here's hoping the clock (and the Mooseheads) make it through the weekend. If not, the greatest tragedy will be all the flossing fans who don't get their five seconds of fame on the big screen.

KPMG helped to dump £100 million in Silentnight pension liabilities – regulator
Paulina Pielichata
The U.K. Financial Reporting Council has launched a disciplinary tribunal case against KPMG and its partner David Costley-Wood, alleging misconduct in relation to mattress producer Silentnight's pension fund.
In 2010 and 2011, KPMG enabled private equity firm H.I.G. Capital to acquire Silentnight without its pension fund liabilities to the detriment of the firm's pension fund participants, according to the case brought by the financial reporting watchdog's executive counsel.
Opening submissions by FRC's executive counsel showed that the auditor's conduct jeopardized the ability of Silentnight to continue operating so that it can be acquired without its pension fund liabilities.
KPMG and Mr. Costley-Wood breached fundamental principles of integrity, according to FRC as they provided misleading or incomplete explanations to the U.K. lifeboat pension fund for insolvent companies, the £32 billion ($42.2 billion) Pension Protection Fund, the Pensions Regulator, Silentnight and the trustees of the company's £100 million pension fund.
The calculation for pension benefits of the 1,332 participants of the Silentnight plan are now dependent on The Pensions Regulator's investigation and they may only receive compensation based on 90% of their full pension entitlement, FRC said.
For its part, KPMG denied the claims. "We cooperated fully throughout the FRC's investigation into this matter. As the Tribunal hearing is now underway, it is not appropriate for us to comment in detail, save to say we do not agree with the FRC's allegations, which are being defended in full," a spokesman for KPMG said.
Efforts to reach Mr. Costley-Wood were unsuccessful.

On my copy of Beck V3 which I just got there is a problem with the 3rd episode on the disc, Episode 13 - Ciel Bleu. In the middle of the episode where part A ends and part B begins it freezes for a moment, if I hit pause it eventually skips ahead and I only miss a few minutes and the rest of the epidode continues as normal, all the other eps work fine. I tried playing it on my pc aswell when it gets to the problem part it freezes and powerdvd no longer responds so I have to end the program.
My copy did that when I watched it last night.
Just in the middle of the episode.I pushed the fast forward button and it started going again.
I had the exact same problem with my copy, too - I could skip to the credits and rewind to a certain point, but I don't like faulty discs in my collection I've actually just put it in the mail back to the Sales team to organise a replacement, but I wonder if it might be a problem with the batch?
Age of DVD Player: Sony, approx 4 years. DVD-RW 1 year.
Have you had problems with other DVDs in the player: No.
Where and when did you purchase your DVD: Madman on-line store, ordered Feb 5, received Feb 15.
Glad to see that If I want to exchange it I know I have to mail it to the orders department with a note saying what's wrong with it and my dvd player model etc but is there anything else I should put with it like a photocopy of the invoice or anything like that?
I suspect there is a problem at the layer change - some players seem to get past it but some don't.
I have posted an error with Death Note Movie and Air Gear. I have got the Death Note Anime and Naruto. I havent had a chance to watch these yet but will submit status once found.
Confirming Naruto Vol 10, Death Note Anime Vol 1, Both Death Note Movies and Air Gear Vol 4. All happening at the layer change. Upon inspection my Pioneer player laser pick up skates back and forth and refuses to play. My apple powerbook with a panasonic drive skates back and forth about 4 or 5 times and continues to play and a cheap and nasty $40 player seems to have no trouble although now and again it staggers after the layer change.
Would be interested to see if any one else with pioneer recorders and/or pioneer stand alone player only units have this trouble.
BAM!!! Balls in a car door!!!
My friend got a copy from JB's a few days ago, I borowed it and it works perfectly, there were no problems at all so I think I'll just send it back for a replacement. Since I wasn't the only one with a problem maybe it was a problem with a particular batch like Melkior said.
I'm having the same problem with my copy. I've tried it in both my PC (LG DVD burner with PowerDVD) and my PS2. On my PC it locks up PowerDVD and on my PS2 it skips ahead a minute or so.
I purchased the DVD from JB HiFi on Lonsdale street, 1/3/2007.
Insert humorous/thought provoking signature here.
Having same problem on my PS3 and my Macbook. Got it from JB Hifi Parramatta.
Its been a month since the OP. Would be nice to see an official reply to this. So far for me the first volume and the 3rd are having techinical issues. Quality is dropping at madman it seems.
Be careful if you have a DVD recorder - If you hear the player's laser skating back and forward this can wreck your player/recorder.
My recorder no longer records - I burnt a disc not long before I got the dvds with the problems and tonight I went to burn something and nothing - I have 51 hours of write time on the drive in the service mode - So I suspect the driving forward and back of the laser on these discs has put it out.
Does anyone else have a pioneer dvr 530h? and have any problems?
MAdman is pathetic, how long till u post an answer?
Give it time - I havent picked up this months releases, I need to get a new dvd recorder.
They are using a different company to replicate discs.No suspect longer AAV Regency - Not sure on this as it is no longer printed on the disc.
They maybe having trouble replicating the fault as not all dvd players are giving the fault.
I suspect many people with writer type drives are having problems and the cheap players dont as the laser accuracy needs to be very accurate in writers.
At least you dont have a $700.00 dvd recorder that is now rooted.
Any word on a fix?
Sounds like a layer change error, what other machines have you tried this disc on.
I would trial the disc through 3-4 units before saying there is a fault with it..
not through the same name brand either..
Not that I suggest you do this, though you could try burning a copy of this disc in question to see if you can replicate the fault through playback of the copied disc should tell you if the disc actually faulty or not!!
In the past I've tried the above method and I didn't have a problem with the copied disc playback..
Before someone ask's "No i'm not a pirate I have had problems with MM disc's in the past with playback issues on various machines."
ok I'll try that.. First one was with my 360, I got 4 more dvd players in the house!
As the encryption methods have gotten better you will find every player in market will get playback issues in 1 form or another when you play a disc..
I agree with encryption - But I have only had problems with madman discs - I have over 2000 DVD's from all different regions and only madman discs give trouble.I am using a DVR 530H Pioneer DVD HDD recorder - well was using - see my posts above.
I have a DVL 909 Pioneer LD/DVD player and Disney discs at the main menu were the only discs I ever had a problem with but now my recorder is rooted I am not even game to try madman discs in this player.
I have stopped purchasing madman dvds until the problem gets updated or a list of problem dvds is posted. A new pioneer dvd recorder is around $650.00 and $150.00 or so for a 500Gb or so HDD. And with the AUD near parity I am purchasing US DVD's again.
I purchase from the US myself though I stick to titles that MM don't release when i can afford a shopping spree!!
all pioneers have this affliction when having to replay mm disc's..
Sly, are you still looking into this? Any fix?
I got the Beck collection at Brisbane's Animania on Saturday and I'm having this problem with DVD 3. I've tried it on the 4 DVD players that I have. Since I didn't get it from the Madman site am I still able to send it back to get it replaced?
Not to bump an extremely old thread but has this been fixed? I have attempted to get a fixed copy 2 times through the a Madman support staff member (who has been very helpful), and both still contained the error. Is there a Production or Technical staff member that can answer this for me? Thanks.
I bought the whole series about a month ago... I bought the V1 and collectors box and then the rest of the individual volumes.
I watched Volume 3 yesterday and my disc has the same fault as everyone else in thread.
Was it every copy of the disc that had this problem or did it get fixed when they released the fatpacks?
I am about to send an email off to Madman asking what i am supposed to do with this faulty disc and if they can supply me with a non faulty disc.
It has been fixed with the Fatpack release.
I have sent them off an email. Except they are 'out of the office' until tuesday, so hopefully i will get a response tomorrow and then i can find out whats happenign about the disc.
I asked Will to chase up mine but am waiting to hear back from him as he is also waiting for their MM rep to return from leave. Good to know that the issue has been fixed and hopefully will get a copy soon so I can watch it.
It's impossible to fit an entire delusional rant inside the subject line of a PM.
4. March 2009: Forgot about it until an issue occurred with Death Note 7. Emailed them again.
You will notice if you end up with a fixed copy as on the disc itself there will be a number/letter combo and an asterisk next to it, for example 'MMA543*'. The asterisk is what represents a fix, the number/letter combo represents the product code.
The team was very helpful in resolving it for me, and most likely you all too. Request the fatpack DVD if you go ahead with this. That is the copy I ended up with. But also be prepared to send off your broken copy as proof of purchase, should only cost you $2.00postage, small price to pay for an unimpaired collection.
In my dealings when I've bought it directly from Madman they've always just sent me a new disc... But I guess I could have just been lucky.
They'd have your purchase on record.
I think my fatpack disk is affected, it doesn't have the asterisk after the product code, and when I tried it out on the computer the other night, it glitched.
Well I had to send mine back, most likely due to me originally buying it form EzyDVD.
With stuff you have purchased from the MM online shop there should be no need to send it back as The Tragic Man said, they have your purchase on record. I've had discs sent to me on one or two occassions without sending in the faulty ones that I've bought from Shin Tokyo but those have been titles where the issue has taken over a year to resolve.
If it's a known glitch with a whole batch of discs and you have purchased it online from somewhere like Shin Tokyo then a photo of the disc attatched to your email to the order department about it as proof that you own it should be sufficient imo, especially if they are just sending out a replacement dvd rather than a case and everything.
There used to be a website that listed all the Madman titles that had faults and had comments about whether fixes had been done and when but I can't seem to find it anymore. Does anyone recall what it was?
For people who have been buying a lot of MM titles over a relatively short period of time, do you think it would be worth starting a thread in this section with a list of known issues and as people post other titles then the first post could be edited so you can see all the information easily without having to search through heaps of threads?
This way those of us who have huge backlogs of MM anime can sort out any problems asap without having to wait until the time when you finally get around to watch something, find a technical fault or missing booklets due to packing errors (such as the Eva BD) and then there is a chance that it is discontinued or not available anymore? (especially booklets that sometimes come with the individuals, as they are transitioned to new packaging they cease to exist) Wondering what other people think of this idea?
That site you're talking about use to be in the sig of the user "mib". Unfortunatly it's become hard to find, as his sig has disappeared. Try your luck googling.
So i was just able to watch the part of episode 13 i wasnt able to before. Yay!
How did you get it - did you contact Shin Tokyo or go directly through MM and did you have to pay to send the flawed copy in?
I just sent an email straight to orders@madman saying what was wrong with it and asked if it was possible to get a replacemtn disc.
Then I got a reply on Tuesday asking for my delivery address, so i replied with that it arrived last night.
I didnt have to send my faulty copy in or anything like that. They just straight up sent me a replacement disc.
There was virtually no effort/hassel involved.

Soy: It's Bad For You And It's Everywhere, Even in Vitamins! (Video)
June 25, 2013 by Infinite
– Shocking Photos Reveal Severe Damage Caused By GM Soy And Corn. GMO Feed Turns Pig Stomachs To Mush!
– Soy Milk Is Bad For You:
If you were to eat unprocessed soy, it would cause cramping, nausea, and can cause more serious health problems.
Here are a few of the pamphlet's false claims about soy milk (and the truth about them):
– Soy: It's Bad for You and It's Everywhere, Even in Vitamins! (Activist Post, June 23, 2013)
With the abundance of studies showing soy's damaging health effects, it's crazy that doctors across the nation and food manufacturers everywhere continue to tout how good it is for you to eat a ton of it.
The Healthy Home Economist reported there are a whopping 170 scientific reasons to cut soy from your diet — everything from causing pineal and thyroid gland dysfunction, to endocrine system interruption, to stopping a woman's menstruation, to dropping a man's testosterone levels, to links to breast and prostate cancer.
But soy is a really tough cut to make considering that it is found lurking in seemingly everything in America! Soy isoflavones in protein shakes, added soy vegetable proteins, soy lecithin as an emulsifier… Recently we even found soy hidden in canned tuna in water!
In fact, Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported that if Americans are what they eat, then this nation is made up of corn and soy people.
These two ingredients are added to so much of what this country eats, and the reasons are not even nutritional butpolitical, based on government subsidies which began under Nixon's Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz as Grist's Tom Philpott notes:
Nixon plucked Butz out of Purdue's agriculture department and planted him in the USDA in 1971. At the time, Butz served as a board member for several agribiz firms, including Ralston Purina, then a sprawling food conglomerate. He rejected criticism that these ties might compromise his performance as USDA chief. (The habit of stuffing the USDA with industry cronies has proven hard to break.)
But Butz did forcefully equate the interests of agribusiness with the national interest. And in 1971 as now, what agribusiness wanted was for farmers to plant lots and lots of corn and soy. In order to profitably mass-produce convenience fare for a growing middle class, the food industry needed unchecked access to cheap inputs. [emphasis added]
Of the nine foods the government is essentially paying for you to eat through subsidy, corn is number one and soy is number three (wheat, which is the main culprit behind so many people being allergic to gluten now, is number two).
Former USDA Secretary Earl Butz has been quoted as having made fun of Pope Paul VI's opposition to population control at the 1974 United Nations World Food Conference saying, "He no playa the game, he no maka the rules" in a mock Italian accent. At that same conference, Butz also helped push Rockefeller Foundation written proposals for a "world food agency" that would allow Rockefeller and big agribusiness to dominate the world's food supply and underwrite depopulation schemes.
Gupta interviewed a plant biologist who found that, while the average American's hair is made of an incredible 69 percent corn, just by traveling to Europe for a few months and eating their fare, his hair strand test came back made up of only five percent corn.
In addition to that, the majority (over 90 percent) of corn and soy in this country is genetically modified (GM). Genetic modification is a worldwide science experiment. While the ultimate long-term negative impact of all this GM in our environment and on our dinner tables is still unknown, independent studies not funded by biotechnology conglomerates have already shown GM to be linked to cancer, sterility, infertility and a whole host of horrible health problems harming virtually every system in our bodies.
As referenced earlier with the top subsidized crops in this country, the government is paying farmers to grow genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Gupta went on to note soy is nearly as (if not as) prevalent in the American diet as corn:
Americans also eat an extraordinary amount of soybean oil, another key ingredient in most processed foods. Checking labels during a recent trip to the grocery store I found soybean oil in everything from tortilla chips to fruit syrup.
That majority of this soy is unfermented because it's cheaper to process that way, even though unfermented soy is full of enzyme inhibitors that can essentially block the digestive process. "It is now widely recognized that the only soy fit for human consumption is fermented soy," reports Real Farmacy.com.
But as Dr. Joseph Mercola points out, both fermentedand unfermented soy contain hormonal mimics that can translate to mood swings, digestive problems, fertility issues, insomnia and a host of other sexual issues for men.
What isn't normally considered here is that many vitamins and supplements are also derived from corn and soy, so people who are trying to be vigilant in avoiding these ingredients in their food may not even realize they could be taking them every day in their nutritional supplements!
Anthony Gucciardi of Natural Society recently warned everyone that many well-known and trusted nutritional supplements openly contain GM vitamin sources. During Natural Society's investigation, they contacted NOW, a prominent vitamin company whose products are typically found in health stores and upscale grocery stores like Whole Foods, to inquire about GM ingredients in the company's vitamin C. NOW responded:
All of our C is derived from standard corn not certified to be non-GMO… Many products [in the industry at large] contain soy or corn derivatives which are generally GMO'd. We are motivated towards non-GMO-sourced products.
So while the company claims they are "motivated" to stop selling GM products, that doesn't translate to not selling them, as they openly admit they are. And that is just one example from one company that probably supplies nutritional supplements to hundreds of thousands of people every single day.
Two of the most common GM derived supplements are vitamin C (ascorbic acid) from corn and vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) from soy, which are sold alone but are also typically added to other supplements as well. In the video above for example, a NOW antioxidant supplement astaxanthin was labeled that it contained tocopherols derived from soy.
Food is not the only place by far hidden GMOs can be found. In searching for supplements, organic is important and there are outlets that sell non-corn and non-soy derived vitamins. We must err on the side of caution and realize that, if a supplement doesn't explicitly say organic or non-GM, it is safer to assume it is derived from genetically modified sources.
For reference, here is a list of vitamins and supplements from the Non-GMO Shopping Guide.
As Gupta noted, "Proteins and fats in your food are incorporated into your body and brain with potentially profound effects on your health and even your behavior."
Indeed. We must consider the heavy ramifications of what this vast daily intake of genetically modified corn and soy is doing to the average human being not just on a daily basis, but cumulatively over time, and how that will effect future generations.

1 thought on "Soy: It's Bad For You And It's Everywhere, Even in Vitamins! (Video)"
I remember trying soy milk, the plain type, not flavored. I liked it, but it sure made me sick. That was the end of soy for me. They have been pushing it as a "health food" since the 1970s. More junk for our diet.
Drinking diet coke is bad enough.
I used to look at those who speak of depopulation as crackpots. Now, I begin to wonder. When I see how they ignore the reality of Fukushima, the terrible quality of our foods, the exploding cancer rates, I have to wonder. If there are indeed people who think the world would be better with a much smaller population, I can understand that. But, putting bad elements into our food on top of all the pollution……..doesn't that affect everyone? There is no way to protect those in the gated communities from these things, either. Nobody seems to get it, mortality is something we all share.

Derbyshire man's tribute to 'witty, cheeky and generous' brother
He was given just months to live in December

The devastated brother of a man who lost his life to cancer has paid tribute to his "best friend."
Nigel Wagstaff, 48, of Chesterfield, was given just months to live in December, 2020, after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer three years earlier.
His brother, Paul Wagstaff, 50, says he will always be remembered as a man who was willing to help anybody.
Since his first diagnosis in March 2017, Nigel sadly learned that the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, hip, shoulder, back, chest and liver.
He went on to receive chemotherapy and multiple blood transfusions, but he was told at the end of last year that he only had months left.
Nigel died peacefully in hospice care on May 4, surrounded by his wife and oldest son.
His brother Paul has offered a heartfelt tribute to the person Nigel was.
Paul said: "He was very, very witty and cheeky at times. He was outgoing and he would always help anyone. He had that personality if someone needed help he would be there.
"He was very, very generous with his time - he has helped me out in lots and lots of ways over the years.
"He was very, very practical - not just that he has supported me through my divorce."
Paul is now happily in a new relationship and says that his younger brother would have been his best man.
"The one day when I get married I would have had Nigel as my best man - that is something that will not happen. Now he will be there in spirit."
During Nigel's treatment he was determined to put on a brave face for the sake of his family.
Paul said: "He was on a lot of medication. He never really told us he was in pain. He was protecting his family, he never complained."
Nigel, a welder by trade, also leaves behind his wife Joanne Brough Wagstaff and sons Elliott, 23, and Tyler, 19.
He was also a devout Nottingham Forest fan, with his brother saying that his passion for the club ran through his "blood and in his veins."
The pair, along with their 74-year-old dad, David, shared happy memories of following the team to Wembley.
Paul, Elliott and Tyler were able to leave a Forest shirt belonging to Nigel on his former seat for the recent game against Preston on May 7, in what Paul described as a "very emotional" occasion.
Nigel's mum Kathleen Wagstaff, 74, of Inkersall, Chesterfield, said: "We gave him a good childhood, I was looking back through all the old photographs yesterday (May 10) and got really upset.
"He would turn his hand to most things, he laid flooring in the house, he had never done it before and he made a good job of it."
She added that she is "getting through day-by-day, hour-by-hour."
Guests attending Nigel's funeral on May 20, will wear Forest shirts with "Wag, 1" or "Nigel, 1" on the back.
