B vitamins fail to slow cognitive decline, says study

Daily supplements of B vitamins for people with high homocysteine
levels do not affect cognitive performance compared to placebo,
says a new study from New Zealand.
But the results have been questioned by an independent expert, who said that the study had too few subjects, was too short, and there was no significant change in the mental function of the comparison controls to be able to refute any effects.
Epidemiological studies have reported that high levels of the amino acid homocysteine are associated with suspected or confirmed dementia. Indeed, the Framingham study reported that people with homocysteine levels above 14 micromoles per litre of serum had twice the risk of dementia.
This has led to the hypothesis that by lowering circulating levels of homocysteine by B vitamin supplements, the risk and occurrence of dementia could be reduced.
A new case of dementia is diagnosed every seven seconds, according to a paper published in December in The Lancet, which is equivalent to 4.6m new cases each year.
By 2040 the number of people with dementia is predicted to rise to 81.1m, from 24.3m today.
The double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 354, pp. 2764-2772), randomly assigned 276 healthy volunteers with high plasma homocysteine (13 micromoles per litre or more) to a daily supplement of B vitamins containing 1000 micrograms of folate, 500 micrograms of B12, and 10 milligrams of B6 (Merck Eprova), or a placebo.
After two years the researchers, from the University of Otago, found that homocysteine levels in the supplemented group had fallen by an average 4.36 micromoles per litre compared to placebo group.
Plasma folate levels also increased by 250 per cent, while plasma B12 levels increased by almost 100 per cent after two years.
Compliance was good, with a reported 215 people taking at least 95 per cent of the capsules.
A battery of cognitive tests, including the Mini-Mental State Examination, was taken by the subjects at baseline, after one year, and at the end of the two years.
The researchers found that, despite lowering the homocysteine levels of the subjects, no significant difference between the scores on the cognitive tests was observed for the B vitamin supplemented group, with respect to the placebo group.
"The results of our trial do not support the hypothesis that homocysteine lowering with folate, vitamins B12, and B6 improves cognitive performance in healthy older people," concluded lead author Jennifer McMahon.
In an accompanying editorial however Robert Clarke from the University of Oxford said: "Since the trial included too few participants, the duration was too short, and cognitive-function scores in controls remained intact throughout the trial, it lacked the statistical power to refute the homocysteine hypothesis of dementia."
This point was noted by the researchers from New Zealand: "We cannot rule out the possibility of a benefit with long-term [supplementation]."
The B-Vitamin Treatment Trialists' Collaboration should soon be better able to address the link between B-vitamins, homocysteine levels, and cognitive function, said Clarke.
"The effects of three to seven years of treatment with B vitamins on cognitive function should eventually be available on about 20,000 of the 50,000 participants with previous cardiovascular or renal disease in the 12 large homocysteine-lowering trials for the prevention of cardiovascular events," said Clarke.
Dr Clarke also said that vitamin B12 is a more important determinant of high homocysteine levels in people over 70 than folate, and that future studies should focus on dietary supplementation of 1000 micrograms of B12 in elderly people to investigate cognitive decline.

Lexington opened the season winning four out of its first five games and had a chance to make it 5 of 6 but came up short losing, 5-2, to Riverside Monday night. Lexington is now 4-2 overall and 2-1 in district play. The Tigers had to make a quick turnaround after Monday's game since they were scheduled to travel to Riverside last night. On the season, Lexington has two wins over Adamsville, and a win over Trenton and Madison. The two losses came to…

Defining new viewing behaviours: What makes and motivates TV binge-watching?

The term 'binge watching' is common in popular media and is one of several new ways of TV viewing that capitalizes on the wide availability of digital video and streaming services. However, the term lacks clear conceptualization, and the underlying motivations associated with it remain under-explored. Results from eleven focus groups of university students in the United States suggest binge watching is characterized as viewing suspenseful dramatic, narrative content for a considerable amount of time: often more than three or four hours. Analyses revealed four emergent motivations that contribute to individuals binge watching: (1) anticipation of what was coming next – facilitated by both content and technology features, (2) management of moods and excitement/ arousal, (3) procrastination and escapism, (4) social goals – related to both co-viewing, discussing content with others and identification with characters. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

Houston Astros' Yuli Gurriel suspended for racist gesture
...but he won't have to sit out the World Series.
If you were watching the World Series on Friday night, yes, that was indeed Yuli Gurriel of the Houston Astros making a racist gesture in reference to an Asian pitcher. For those who didn't catch it, you already know exactly what gesture I'm talking about: the slant eye. And it got him a five-game suspension.
Yuli Gurriel suspended five games, in 2018, for actions in World Series Game 3
During the Game 3 broadcast, cameras caught the Astros first baseman pulling his eyes back and uttering "chinito" while sitting in the Houston dugout. He was clearly referring to Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish, who is Japanese and Iranian. Gurriel hit a solo home run off Darvish to kick off a four-run rally in the second inning.
Perhaps that was Gurriel's way of celebrating -- the international symbol for "chink." Well, the cameras were watching, the image was zapped across national television, and the outcry was fairly immediate.

— Deadspin (@Deadspin) October 28, 2017
On Saturday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that Gurriel has been a given a five-game suspension without pay that will begin at the start of the 2018 season. This apparently the largest suspension ever levied against a player for a public act of intolerance during a baseball game.
How much is a nationally televised racist gesture worth? Gurriel, who is scheduled to earn $12 million in 2018, will lose an estimated $320,855 because of the suspension. He will also have to undergo sensitivity training.
But he'll still be able to play the remaining games of the World Series. You've got to be kidding me.
Asked about it after Friday's game, Gurriel apologized through a translator, saying "I didn't want to offend anybody" and that he was "kind of shocked" when people told him he had offended others with his actions. And yet it seems he clearly knew that what he was doing was offensive.

— Joshua Thornton (@JoshuaThornton_) October 28, 2017
"Chinito" basically means "little Chinese boy." I'm told that it's commonly and informally used as a blanket term for "Asian." Never mind that Darvish is Japanese -- you think Gurriel gave a shit? We can debate about Spanish, cultural nuances, and whether or not the use of this term is pejorative (for the record: it is), but I think it's safe to say that in this context, coupled with the gesture, it sure as hell wasn't said out of respect.
Ah, that gesture. Look, in way too many parts of the world, if you're Asian, you've been assaulted by this gesture at some point in your life. It's playground bullshit, and it's happened to me too many times to remember or count, from kids and adults alike. Yuli Gurriel is a 33-year-old grown ass man. He should know better.
The league seems to agree. The official reaction was relatively swift. But let me get this straight: Gurriel's actions were racist enough to warrant a suspension... but not racist enough to suspend him immediately? The guy still gets to play in the World Series, where he actually did the racist shit in question. What exactly would it take to suspend him, like, right now?
So. Major League Baseball's official position on the slant eye: it's bad, but not that bad. And you wonder, whether it's pro baseball players or kids in the school yard, why people still think it's okay to pull this shit.

UK to Help Destroy Syrian Chemical Weapons Stockpile
And will help escort ships carrying the cargo
Reason Staff | 12.20.2013 3:00 PM
Britain has agreed to destroy part of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile at a commercial facility and escort Scandinavian ships transporting the toxic cargo, the British government said on Friday.
Roughly 150 tons of industrial chemicals will be transported from Syria by ship to a port in Britain, the Foreign Office said in a statement.
The regime of Bashar al-Assad declared 1,300 tons of chemical weapons to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which won the Nobel peace prize this year.

New Virtual Console games. Pass them on.
Nintendo has updated the Virtual Console list with two new games, Yoshi's Cookie and Bases Loaded. This might be one of the most personal Virtual Console announcements thus far.
Having played Yoshi's Cookie before, I can tell you it is one of the most boring games I've ever played. Despite it's title (the reason I bought the game way back when), it's not an adventure game, instead, it's a puzzle game that's kinda like a messed up form of Tetris. And don't let the fact it has an "adventure" mode fool you. It's really just a survival mode of how long can you last before blocks fill the screen. This game isn't worth 500 Wii Points. And Yoshi isn't really in this game (except if you play with another person). This game is not what you think it is. Don't waste your points. You've been warned.
Bases Loaded, I've never played (or heard of), but from the looks of it, I wouldn't recommend this title either. It was great for its time, when graphics were…a big glob large colored squares, but now it seems like a waste.
These two titles are both worth 500 Wii Points each. Personally, I'm passing, and I would advise you to do so as well.
I really should tell you the facts, so here is Nintendo's side of the games:
Yoshi's Cookie (NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Take one part puzzle game, combine with intuitive game play, add a pinch of multiplayer action and top with a layer of everyone's favorite dinosaur. Mix together and let set for roughly 100 stages' worth of time. If that sounds like a winning recipe to you, then step into the kitchen and get ready for a batch of fast-paced puzzle action. Hunker down to move rows and columns of randomly placed cookies in an effort to align all the cookies of the same type. Successfully assemble a row or column to make the line disappear, then move to a new one. If you're good enough, you may even be able to make a Yoshi cookie appear! Feel like taking on a friend? Fire up the two-player mode, where you can attack your opponent while competing to match as many cookies as possible. Be careful, though—if your timing is off, you could end up attacking yourself. Who knew dinosaurs had such a weakness for puzzle games and sweets?
Bases Loaded (NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Bases Loaded is a baseball game with an arcade feel and plenty of options from which players can choose. Select one of 12 teams, set your lineup from the 30 players available (each with different strengths), then play a single game or try to win the pennant. During game play, the screen shows two different viewpoints: one from behind home plate as you're batting, and the other from the pitching balls in a television-style shot (unique for its time [seriously]) as your team plays in the field. Strong play control and excellent graphics add to the excitement as you decide what pitch to throw (you can even try to provoke the opposing batter into charging the mound), control all positions on the field, or do your best to get a hit. So step to the plate and find out why this is one of the most popular baseball games on the NES. Can you pull through in the clutch?

A St. Martinville man was charged with rape Friday after police said he sexually abused a juvenile female.
On May 1, deputies with the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office received a report that a juvenile was being sexually abused.
Investigators arrested 27-year-old Eric Smith and charged him with first-degree rape, which is a felony.
Louisiana law defines first-degree rape as sexual intercourse committed when one of these circumstances applies: the victim resists the act; the offender threatens harm; the victim is under the age of 13; the offender is armed with a weapon; two or more offenders participated in the act; the victim cannot consent because of a mental or physical condition. If convicted, it carries a life sentence.
Smith was booked into the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center. No bond was set Friday afternoon.

Shito's humble vault
Thread starter Shito
LoneSage
A Broken Man
part 2 of the interview (because it was too long in the first post):
What do you think is the difference between SNK and another manufacturer's fighting game?
I think that SNK is always a manufacturer sensitive to "attractiveness of products" to designs and users. In other words, rather than refining gaming, SNK thinks that aesthetic factors have been respected up to the limit. As an example, at Athena (ATHENA), as the design of the character clearly shows, we adopted the fashion called "Bikini Armor" which began with the boom of "Yendai war record Leda". In addition, at 'Psycho Soldier' which is the sequel to 'Athena', SNK showed the song with the first singing voice in the history of the arcade game.
Terry キ Bogard's Yankee fashion, characters that fight in uniforms and school runs reminiscent of the 1990s, techno and gothic fashion listed by "KOF '99" and "KOF 2000", SNK is not only an enthusiastic geek but also a casual gamer I have made only characters that will get favorable. Through the aesthetic evolution of neo-geo games, you can estimate fashion and style that young people gather every year from Osaka's street.
When did the hobby named NeoGio collector began?
When I was a young man, it was impossible to buy neo - geo. Because, in consideration at the time of the day, one cartridge was over 60,000 yen. For me who was just a student, it was a dream I could not imagine very much. In high school and college years I was playing in the game NeoGeo in the gamesen. And I endured it with a ported version of Sega Saturn, my favorite game machine.
In 2000, I became a full-fledged social worker, started work and earned income. Since I had not gone to gohseen anymore, I started collecting NeoGeo cartridges in the second hand market to realize that dream of the past. The more the game software gathered, the stronger the desire of complete completion.
It seems that your collection is made up of Japanese version of game software and various items, but did not you think to collect game software of Western version, for example?
Neo Geo is an SNK game machine. In other words, it is a Japanese company, and all developers are Japanese. I know that there is an official Western version, but I think that it does not have originality or purity, that is, the original essence. What I am interested in is the most "telling the truth" of loved ones. In order to feel the essence, I had to go back to the origin by all means. Origin, that which symbolizes the truth. Speaking of Japanese video games, it was a Japanese game software.
Is it difficult to get the Japanese version of NeoGeo's game software etc in Italy?
As I said earlier, I started collecting the game of NeoGeo in 2000. At that time, the used market of the game was already very active on the Internet. Contacts with Japan that we have been building year by year also helped us. In that year, a retro game boom in Japan was about to start, for reasons related to gamer generation change. In the 1980s and 1990s gamers like myself became a fine society person, now I think that there was such a boom as the environment for setting up a hobby called the NeoGeo collection is in place.
Which items are most difficult to obtain as a collector and are proud?
Even now, it is a well-known fact that certain neo-geo game software is expensive. Obtaining such items was never easy. Also it was difficult to find very old game software in a good preservation state. Still, not only did he completed all the complete game software and hardware collection, but also the rare item named after Neo Geo was available.
For example, we have "RENTAL OPTION TOOLS" such as "Rental Plate" for stores and "Renting Rope". I believe this item has genuine historical value for me. I feel that owning that item gives the collection a museum-like added value. I am really proud.
I heard that I wrote a book called "NEO GEO COLLECTOR'S BIBLE", but would you explain what it is?
"NEO GEO COLLECTOR'S BIBLE" is a book I wrote amateurly. As the title suggests, it deals with many themes related to the NeoGeo collection. While collecting all the material, data and information related to neojyo year by year, I noticed that there are many data that would confuse the history of this game system on the Internet.
For example, many people in Europe and the United States seem to have misunderstood that MVS was released before the NeoGeo for home use. But that is wrong. The two systems are on sale at the same time. Actually, there seems to be unclear information in Japan.
So, I gathered formal information on my own and decided to put it in one book. In order to confirm each data, I gathered game magazines of the time, flyers for advertisement, documents and so on. While making full use of my publishing industry experience, I was able to realize graphically attractive books, working together with friends with the same hobby.
As for the layout of this book, I was inspired by the then Japanese Mook (a book between books and magazines). The goal of this book is to spread the culture called NeoGio in Italy. At this stage, I made more than 100 Vol. 1, but in order to complete the work I am planning to write Vol.
Do you have any proud knowledge about Neo Geo's world?
NeoGeo's enthusiastic fans knows everything and I think it's almost impossible to surprise. (Laugh) How about this? "Metal slug" will surely be inspired by Mr. Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata's work. Especially, I think that the influence of animation "seeing my mother and three thousand miles" was great.
Like the "metal slug", the hero of this animation is called Marco Rossi and Fio? Germi. Even Peppino, Mark's white monkey, will appear in "Metal Slug". Moreover, the original tells the story of Mark coming to the Andean. The Andean has a plateau called "Nasca". That is the name of the manufacturer who developed it.
There are others. Probably the style of the design of rides of World War II seen in "metal slag" may have been influenced by Miyazaki Hayao's manga "Miscellaneous Note" published in the magazine "Model Graphix" I am thinking.
In addition, developers of "Metal Slug" are working on "KOF '94" before that, I think that the background of the Italian team stage is reminiscent of the last scene of "Red Pig". By the way, the main character also said Marco and Fio with this animation. It's a coincidence! (Lol).
How are you envisioning the future of the famous game series of Neo Geo and SNK Playmore?
Neo Geo occupies a very important position in the history of game history in the heart of the same generation of the Gersen tribe. Neo Geo's heritage is in charming characters and game series that SNK has created.
However, since the masterpieces are very strong with stylistic traces and are deeply rooted in the background at the time, I think that it is very difficult to peel off the classicality and modernize it.
In that sense, "KOFXIII" is a game like a miracle that is impressed every time you play. I hope that "KOFX III" is the foundation for continuing the tradition of fighting 2D fight fighting from now on.
Finally, please give me your message to Japan's most respectable game creator!
This is the message I would like to send to all Japanese game designers. I do not want you to think that the first condition for Japanese work to succeed all over the world is to focus on overseas. I think exactly the opposite. Think of it as a Japanese, always have the courage to make! Westerners like me caught up with Japanese animation, manga, and games because there was a unique "taste" by the matrix of Japan.
For example, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, who is loved all over the world, is always thinking as a Japanese artist and has offered his creativity to Japanese audiences. That is why his work keeps a unique taste. We believe that purity of every recipe should be preserved and protected.
Even cuisine will be so. If you add a lot of ingredients and seasonings, you can only make mixtures with unknown taste. Even paintings, if you have too many colors, you will get the same results. I would like Japanese video games to continue to be "Japanese video games" with their own "color" and "taste" all the time! Through Japanese games, I hope that Westerners will continue to find Japanese culture and enrich as human beings. Like me! (Lol).
Mr. Guertiero, thank you very much for today! Keep on playing with your favorite Neo Geo!
Shito
King of Typists,
I finally managed to gather all the converts I've always been interested in, plus some extras. :-)
One day I will display my NEO·GEO hardware collection somewhere and post some pics for that as well.
Meanwhile, I'm someway proceeding towards a paper printed release of my funny mook. :-)
Just some early test-prints though. The ugly red binding is my very personal adhesive tape-work in fact. ^^;

Shito said:
Wow, simply WOW! Finally... put me down for one with exactly the same adhesive tape-work binding. It's so authentic and fits perfectly. Also, tell me you did include your famous treatise of the various NGH baggies (big & cut for carton, big & short-fold for vinyl, small & short-fold for later releases and small & long-fold since KoF2K etc.)
evil wasabi
The Jongmaster
The layout of the mook is on point. Reminds me of classic KoF mooks.
Oliver: actually the story with the different baggies is longer. Keep in mind the "big ones" used up to GarouDen3 were basically MVS paperworks baggies.
They had and used quite some different generation of those, let's call 'em just "production runs", ahah.
SNK never ever trashed stuff up to their very original bankruptcy sold-out. Figure this: when they first ceased the rental market in the beginning of 1991, to re-release the whole system and game line-up for consumer sale on 1991 7/1, as we all know they used the infamous "carton boxes" to distinguish the new batch of carts from the older, right? Yeah, and they had obviously to change every game barcode, for the original one where lined with different product-pice tags. Once the carton boxed cart ran out, they just switched back to plastic cases as we al know... just stickering the barcode on the inserts, ahaha.
And now the real fun: just the very first 5 (4+1) games had the writing "RENTAL" on their spine. Yeah, 超ド級レンタルゲーム「ネオ·ゲオ」instead of 超ド級ゲーム「ネオ·ゲオ」- this is common knowledge by now. But you now what? When they started to re-market the plastic-boxed leftovers for those very first 5 games after the carton boxed batch, they literally SCRAPED AWAY the black ink for the "RENTAL" line from the spines. This is pure comedy, almost NGF-USA worthy, I'm serious. Coming to speak of which, when Dion and Chris bought out the former SNK storage of old stock, they still had some NOS of carton boxed games there. I know for I bought myself some from Chris. Brand spanking new. And of course you already know those where carts for those "never released with plastic case" games, right? Yeah, they never run out of the carton boxed batch and so never re-printed them in plastic box versions.
All of this (and so much more) I can say for: SNK treated their consumer stuff almost as warehouse dealer. You can't find any consistency in their use of cases, bags, seals, etc. Stickering and re-stickering was like normal for them. Recalling unsold stuff from western distributors to market in on their domestic Japan was also pretty common.
SNK production line was soooo about handcraft-ship I'm almost surprised we never found dead mice in them. :-)
Excellent insights, Shito. Thank you for indulging my curiosity. This one made me wonder, though...
SNK treated their consumer stuff almost as warehouse dealer. You can't find any consistency in their use of cases, bags, seals, etc. Stickering and re-stickering was like normal for them. Recalling unsold stuff from western distributors to market in on their domestic Japan was also pretty common.
No consistency, capricious sell-outs, no regard for their customers whatsoever, yet, inexplicably, puking brilliance all over... ? There's a name for that: It's called a Diva.
...all the while, somewhere in Osaka's deepest peripheries, a nameless, myopic, lazy SNK employee hums to himself in his baddishly illuminated cubicle:
♪ We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more ♪
Clear Paper
Deftty made some very nice inserts.

Recalling unsold stuff from western distributors to market in on their domestic Japan was also pretty common.
Hence, the extreme rarity (in the single and double digits) of select US/Euro titles.

Actually the real name for it is MVS.
The worldwide arcade market was company main focus and I do understand that now even more as I'm collecting japanese mvs kits.
Infact, japanese arcade mvs carts are way more difficult to find compared to their english counterpart and some good and hot games are mvs english only releases even in Japan.
Tha reflects the real spirit of the machine, trying to be a regular presence in the arcades worldwide.
FTL said:
That is very nicely put, but this is also the case for other arcade companies. What is significant for SNK, is their regular presence in our homes worldwide. To my knowledge, they only made losses here, yet, they stubbornly persisted to continue releasing their NGH line. What's wrong with them, right? That is not the thinking of a warehouse dealer. So in the end, it's exactly that, what reflects the real spirit of the machine to me: SKNs lossy but brilliant caprice, the NGH.
Now that quote was classy.
Indeed Hammond Organ/Keyboard was and still is something. I know a couple of collectors down here.
So, basically, is the NEO·GEO a blacker shade of dark? :-)

Indeed. He basically had the skill, the passion, and the chance to create original-SNK-consistent inserts. I've been lucky enough to befriend him, and enjoy a some nice information exchange and maniac-designing chat with him, plus being able to buy his stuff. All my "MVS-only" converts are made with original MVS chips, also. :-)
I see you're from Singapore too, are you a friend of his? :-)

Isn't that every collection thread, though?
My book was finally printed, btw. Took just 15 years to be produced. Gotta slow down. :-/

(no, that's not me, just a customer )
As you can see we eventually adopted a similar red-spine design in the final print layout. :-)
Is the book in Italian?
Yeah, Italian only. I guess the only parts that are truly "internationally readable" are the very complete and triple-checked AES complete release list, some other lists here and there, plus the very book title. :-/

The interview with my guest of this week's episode was actually recorded right away on New Year's Day and I'm very happy to welcome author, leader of a Gnostic Parish and a Martinist Lodge, 32nd Degree Mason and 9° Magus in the S.I.R.A., Rev. Mathieu G. Ravignat. Mathieu has published three large and very deeply researched and well-written books on the Élus Coëns, the French Gnostic Church and Egyptian Masonry and of course these will be our main topics of interest.
Growing up in a devout but open-minded Canadian Catholic family Mathieu was called to spirituality at a young age and even considered priesthood as a path in his early teens. However, during his university years he discovered several authors like William Blake who exerted a huge influence on his spiritual views and pointed him into different directions making him re-questioning his orthodox Catholic framework and opening up the gates to Western Esotericism to him. Mathieu went on to contact local esoteric groups and soon became active in Masonic circles, especially embracing Martinism.
In 2019 Mathieu published a book 'The French Gnostic Church: Doctrinal and Liturgical Evolution' which is about one of the least understood esoteric parts of the Western Esoteric Tradition. We'll be talking about his inspiration for putting quite a lot of work into this project as well as how digitization played a big part in it. We'll be exploring how the Gnostic Church could evolve in France, how it embraced mystical experiences in a Valentinian tradition and went on to become the first church in modern history that consecrated a woman as a bishop. Of course we'll be discussing the figure of visionary and neo-Catharist Jules Doinel who as its leader aimed to return to a 'primitive' form of Christianity with its basis in the Gospel of John.
The covers of Mathieu Ravignat's two books that we disuss in this episode.
Aside from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism that both got carried forward into French respectively British Esoteric practices there was also a third 'movement' within esotericism without a religious framework which was a huge inspiration for another of Mathieu's books, 'Quest for a Lost Rite: The Origins, High Degrees and Spiritual Practices of Traditional Egyptian Freemasonry'. In this book he aims for the reconstruction of very specific degrees and also provides spiritual methods of the rites and we'll be diving deeply into his motivation to make the information within this book available for the public in not only going into details on historical aspects but creating a work that is useful to the soul and offers real tools for practice.
In the end, Mathieu will kindly open up on his upcoming projects including a book titled 'Hermetic Musings Volume I.', containing articles on esoteric subjects such as the concept of the bridal chamber in ancient Gnosticism, practical alchemy and much more.
ONCE AGAIN, TODAY'S MUSIC IS BY ONE OF OUR LISTENERS. BENJAMIN BROWN, SOUND ENGINEER FROM SCOTLAND, CONTACTED ME AND OFFERED US THREE OF HIS WORKS.
Benjamin Brown is a recording engineer and musician based between Glasgow and The Black Isle in Scotland. The music that we hear in this episode is from a record he made during 2020 and finished last year.
Here is what he says about his work:
"It's a pretty little thing which I suppose is something I have always wanted to make.. It is a continuation of what I have always done – express myself via music – and to me, makes perfect sense. When I was nineteen I joined the band Falloch and made a quiet decision to spend the next decade pursuing "music" to see where I could get.
"Where I got is where I wanted: a place where music is an anchor and helps support living costs while allowing for ease of creative expression. I love music and in particular, I like spending time noodling on instruments at home where I can be alone and comfortable.
"I also like reading and spend a lot of time with books. I find that in many ways it is what I read that triggers inspiration and becomes an impetus to create sounds. The bands are for the big ideas, the synthesizer at home for my more introspective and minimal thoughts.
"These songs are the latter. Little thoughts about the quiet and wonderful. I enjoyed making them and found them to be therapeutic and reassuring. The work on them was in no way arduous and took place over an eighteen-month period. You can hear more at my Bandcamp (benjaminbrownsound.bandcamp.com), get in touch with the studio on Instagram at Black Isle Recordings, or see Barshasketh at Netherlands Deathfest in May in 2022″.

This time of year it can be tricky and uninspiring getting dressed everyday. You might be tired of wearing the same sweater, leggings, and boots by now. To help you feel more inspired to get dressed this time of year, I am sharing how to fresh'n up your closet, and add a little spring to your winter outfits.
Bring out your favorite floral or bright colored silk neck scarf and tie it in your hair, or around your neck with your winter sweater. The pop of color and pattern can easily make your look more like spring.
A bright colored parka or over coat can easily add a touch of spring to a basic winter sweater. Wear a bright colored beanie, (think pink, orange, red, or cream) to add interest to your winter look. A pair of brightly colored boots will AWLAYS add a fun and fresh edge to your winter outfits.
Just by throwing on a blush colored over coat, blush sneakers, and a cream beanie to an all black outfit, automatically makes this winter look feel more like spring. Any pastel color works. I love how neutral this blush color is and it really pops next to the black.
White jeans are crisp and add brightness to any winter sweater outfit. Don't believe the old saying "no white after Labor Day"! That is a myth and a very narrow view of approaching fashion. White is chic and goes well with everything.
I hope these easy tips help and inspire you to get in your closet and experiment with different ways to style your winter wardrobe.
If you needing some ideas on what essentail pieces to have in your winter wardrobe, see my Winter Capsule Wardrobe.

Then + Now: The Cast of 'Mean Girls'
Michelle McGahan
'Mean Girls' burst into theaters in 2004, and with it came the Plastics, a whole new vocabulary ("so fetch") and quotes that will live on forever in pop culture history ("You can't sit with us!"). It's hard to believe that almost 10 years have passed since the hilarious teen comedy first stole our hearts, but what better way to bridge that gap than by finding out where your favorite North Shore students and teachers are now? Read on to see where the cast of 'Mean Girls' is today.
Lindsay Lohan (Cady Heron)
Paramount Pictures/Bryan Bedder, Getty Images
Then: Oh, to go back to the Lindsay Lohan of 2004. The redheaded, fresh-faced young actress came to 'Mean Girls' with a slew of successful Disney movies under her belt, including 'The Parent Trap,' 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' and 'Freaky Friday.' But it was Lohan's turn as "home-schooled jungle freak" turned "regulation hottie" Cady Heron that elevated her from child star status and skyrocketed her into fame.
Now: Lohan has become a tabloid fixture, with multiple arrests, battles with substance and drug abuse, and at least six stints in rehab garnering her constant news coverage. Since 'Mean Girls,' Lohan has made several movie missteps along the way, including 'I Know Who Killed Me,' 'Liz & Dick,' and, her most recent flop, 'The Canyons.' In 2014, Lohan attempted to revive her career with a candid look into her personal life in the OWN docuseries 'Being Lindsay.' She is set to star on the London stage in the David Mamet play 'Speed-the-Plow,' making her West End debut. We're rooting for her!
Rachel McAdams (Regina George)
Paramount Pictures/Gareth Cattermole, Getty Images
Then: Rachel McAdams portrayed the villainous Regina George, the 'Queen Bee' of the Plastics. Immediately after 'Mean Girls,' McAdams' star status was cemented when she starred opposite Ryan Gosling in Nicholas Sparks' 'The Notebook.'
Now: The incredibly talented McAdams has gone on to star in numerous films, including 'The Time Traveler's Wife,' Woody Allen's 'Midnight in Paris' and the recent 'Sherlock Holmes' movies. Her dating resume is just as impressive: McAdams has dated Ryan Gosling, Josh Lucas, and most recently, her 'Midnight in Paris' costar, Michael Sheen, though the two called in quits in 2013. (She is currently dating Patrick Sambrook.) McAdams is set to be honored with a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame.
Lacey Chabert (Gretchen Wieners)
YouTube/Araya Diaz, Getty Images
Then: Prior to 'Mean Girls,' Chabert was also known for her voiceover work, voicing Eliza Thornberry on Nickelodeon's 'The Wild Thornberrys,' Meg Griffin during the first season of 'Family Guy' and Ruth McDougall on 'Hey, Arnold!' She also provided the singing voice of Young Anastasia in 'Anastasia.' Chabert was also known for her role as Claudia Salinger on 'Party of Five.'
Now: Chabert has continued to act in lesser-known TV movies and has lent her voice to various television series. She currently has a recurring role as Dr. Amy Shaw on ABC Family's 'Baby Daddy' and posts pictures of herself hanging out with famous pals Haylie Duff and Beverely Mitchell on Twitter.
Amanda Seyfried (Karen Smith)
Paramount Pictures/Cindy Ord, Getty Images
Then: Amanda Seyfried scored her breakout role in 'Mean Girls,' playing ditzy 'Plastic' Karen Smith, whose cousin-loving attitude and forecast-predicting boobs helped secure her place as a hilarious comedic actress.
Now: Since 'Mean Girls,' Seyfried has tapped into her musical side, starring opposite Meryl Streep in 'Mama Mia' and alongside a stellar cast as Cosette in the Academy Award-winning 'Les Miserables.' Seyfried, who is currently dating Justin Long, has also acted in a range of other movies, including the Nicholas Sparks film, 'Dear John,' the dark 'Jennifer's Body' opposite Megan Fox, as Linda Lovelace in the biopic of the porn star, and in the Seth MacFarlane comedy 'A Million Ways to Die in the West.'
Lizzy Caplan (Janis Ian)
Paramount Pictures/Michael Buckner, Getty Images
Then: Lizzy Caplan portrayed the gothic Janis Ian, the mastermind behind the plan to get Cady to infiltrate the Plastics and destroy their group. We also can't forget the fact that she may or may not have worn a wig made of her classmate's mom's chest hair. Natch.
Now: Post-'Mean Girls,' Caplan has worked hard at her craft, scoring parts both in film and on TV. In 2009, she had a role in the James Franco film '127 Hours' and has since really found her niche on TV, with a recurring role as Julia on 'New Girl' and as Virginia Johnson on 'Masters of Sex,' for which she was nominated for an Emmy.
Daniel Franzese (Damian)
Paramount Pictures/Alberto E. Rodriguez, Getty Images
Then: Daniel Franzese played Janis' best friend, the "too gay to function" Damian. He also really wanted his pink shirt back.
Now: Franzese has continued to act, scoring small parts in 'War of the Worlds' and 'Burn Notice.' In 2011, he had a recurring role on the web series 'Foodies.' According to his Twitter, Franzese starred in his one-man show, 'I've Never Really Made the Kinda Money to Become a Mess,' and recently came out as gay in a heartwarming letter to his 'Mean Girls' character Damian.
Jonathan Bennett (Aaron Samuels)
YouTube/Alberto E. Rodriguez, Getty Images
Then: Jonathan Bennett played Aaron Samuels, Regina George's too-good-for-her boyfriend and Cady's "grool" crush. Before 'Mean Girls,' he also took over Jesse McCartney's role as JR Chandler on the soap opera 'All My Children.'
Now: Bennett is still acting, though most of the films he has been in post-'Mean Girls' have been more under-the-radar. In 2014, he became one of the contestants of 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 19, sashaying across the dance floor with partner Allison Holker in memory of his parents. But the best news of all is that his Twitter account is chock-full of 'Mean Girls' goodies. Not only does his bio read, "I get it… my hair looks sexy pushed back," he also recently posted a ton of behind-the-scenes photos with the cast. You go, Jonathan Bennett.
Tina Fey (Ms. Norbury)
Then: Not only did Tina Fey play Cady's math teacher, Ms. Norbury, she was also the brains behind the entire film. The bespectacled 'SNL' star adapted 'Mean Girls' from the non-fiction book 'Queen Bees and Wannabees' and also wrote the entire screenplay.
Now: With several hit films, a crazy-popular television show (R.I.P. '30 Rock'), a best-selling memoir and one Golden Globe hosting stint under her belt, it's safe to say that Tina Fey has the whole comedy thing on lock. And with two Golden Globes hosting duties under her belt (both Fey and Amy Poehler hosted two years in a row), we know that she won't be falling off the radar any time soon.
Amy Poehler (Mrs. George)
Then: The 'SNL' comedian played Regina's video-recording, alcohol-serving "cool mom," Mrs. George.
Now: Like her co-star, 'Golden Globes' co-host and comedic bestie Tina Fey, Amy Poehler has been on fire since 'Mean Girls,' stealing the show in films like 'Blades of Glory' and 'Baby Mama.' The actress, who recently lent her voice to the animated hit 'Free Birds,' has also starred on TV in 'Parks and Recreation' since 2009. (She also has the two most adorable sons, Abel and Archie, with ex-husband Will Arnett.)

I am married to an amazing supportive mountain biking man, I have three awesome sons and have my own photography business. I LOVE running, mountain biking, camping and being out in nature. At times I can be a perfectionist, I have a very determined, motivated, stubborn personally which is great I think if you want to be an Ultra runner.
It's not too difficult when you have a supportive family, I make time for both and set aside important dates for both work and running. I work mostly on weekends shooting weddings so the big races are booked off and marked on the calendar well in advance and then I fit others in when I have a free weekend, I run early in the mornings so that it really doesn't interfere with work or family life.
I started running at about 11yrs old to take part in Triathlons, I gave it up for a few years and then started again in 2014 just to get fit, healthy and hopefully lose some weight, within weeks I discovered how much I missed and loved running and haven't stopped since. It's always been a dream of mine to run the Comrades marathon and I'm so glad I'm back on track to fulfil that dream.
Honestly I never don't feel like running, in fact I have to force myself to take rest days, I can't wait to get strong enough to run 6 days a week.
I've never struggled with this, I just get out there, get in the zone and run, I kind of go into my own little world and just focus on the run, sometimes I hardly notice my surroundings which can be bad if you get lost and need to backtrack.
It's really concerning, it's also not as easy for them as it was for us when I was young it was safe to run around the neighbourhood and ride my bike to school and back, unfortunately it's not the same anymore and this makes it more difficult for them to just get out there.
At this stage running The Two Oceans Half Marathon in Cape town, the vibe and energy gave me a little taste of what's to come with Comrades marathon and I'm sure if you ask me this question again next week I'll definitely be saying my first Comrades Marathon.
I never had a bad running experience, you learn from every run. Some are way harder than others and I've even had some DNF's but each run teaches you something new about yourself and what you are capable of.
I pray a lot and think of how good it will feel to finally hold that medal.
Just start, put on a pair of takkies and get out the door, the next day do it again and again until you start to crave it, you'll see that will happen sooner than you think.
I do not like runners who … spit!
