Search for Meghalaya miners possible after water level goes down: Navy
More than 200 rescuers, including 14 members of the Navy, 72 National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) rescuers, 21 Odisha firefighters, 35 Coal India Limited (CIL) officials besides a team of Meghalaya-owned State Disaster Response Force are involved in the rescue operations.

The Indian Navy said on Monday the search for the 15 miners trapped inside a flooded coal mine in a remote village in Meghalaya will be feasible only after the level of the water in the illegal structure comes down.
The navy divers re-entered the main shaft of the nearly 350-feet flooded mine with a remotely-operated device and came out after three hours of search for the miners. The 15 men have been trapped inside the illegal coal mine for the last 18 days in the Ksan village of coal-rich East Jaintia district, an area where illegal mining is rife and a National Green Tribunal.

The navy said visibility inside the shaft is very poor at only around one feet at the bottom. The divers, who entered the shaft on Monday to survey the bottom using an UnderWater Remotely Operated Vehicle or UWROV, found some wooden structure inside the mine as well as coal beneath. They also found mud and a rat hole with coal at its mouth.
The site, officials said, has been cleared for fire service team from Odisha, also involved in the operation, to start pumping the water from the main shaft. Other shafts nearby are being prepared to enable the pumps to operate, they said.
The navy requested the district administration earlier in the day for assistance in dewatering the mine so that the level of water comes down to 30 metres or within the safe diving limit. These safety measures are being undertaken to rule out decompression sickness in the divers, officials said.
The divers could not reach the bottom of mine on Sunday as the level of the water was miscalculated by NDRF at 70 feet rather than 125 feet.
The remote mine is a 1-1/2 hour drive and then a half-hour hike from the district headquarters of the East Jaintia Hills district. Only four-wheel-drive SUVs can navigate the three streams and the steep uphill dirt road that the last two-kilometre stretch comprises.
Mining expert and award-winning rescuer Jaswant Singh Gill lamented on the lack of coordination between the state government and rescue agencies.
"The rescue operation is very slow because lack of coordination from the state and central agencies," Gill said, according to news agency IANS.
Gill, who shot to fame after he successfully rescued 64 miners from a flooded quarry in West Bengal in 1989, hoped the trapped miners could be "rescued alive".
"There are instances that trapped miners can be rescued even after 22 days. Normal people can survive even for a month as there is water in the pit," he noted.

Women workers of the opposition Congress staged a token protest at the state headquarters of the party in Shillong against the Conrad Sangma-led government for the "slow process" in rescuing the trapped miners.
President of the state women's Congress Joplin Scott Shylla criticised the government for the "slow process" in rescuing the trapped miners.
"The government was in its slumber and woke up only after Congress president Rahul Gandhi lamented on the slow progress of the rescue operation," Shylla said.
The miners have been missing after the illegal coal mine they were digging got flooded in the coal-rich East Jaintia Hills, an area where illegal mining is rife and a National Green Tribunal ban on such activities has been in place for four years.
Meghalaya has nearly 640 million tonnes of coal reserves. Mining of coal by hand has been going on in Meghalaya for over 150 years, mostly for local use. Large-scale illegal and indiscriminate mining of the coal by private landowners and the local community started nearly three decades ago.
Most of these mines employ minors, some from neighbouring states and Nepal as well; the miners work many metres underground in unsafe conditions, mining coal with their bare hands.

Chronic diseases like Parkinson's, ALS, and cancer place a severe burden on sufferers, often impacting virtually every facet of life. In the effort to combat these debilitating conditions, many committed organizations lend support to affected individuals, or fund research towards a cure. In no particular order, here are six groups working to help those afflicted by serious illness.
Opening our list at #1 is Augie's Quest to Cure ALS, supporting research into motor neuron disease through fundraising and awareness efforts. Co-founded by fitness mogul Augie Nieto after his 2005 diagnosis, this group organizes events to raise money for the Translational Research Center at the ALS Therapy Development Institute, as well as helping to expand its Precision Medicine Program.
Augie's Quest operates the Team Quest 4 ALS program, a series of sponsored races to generate donations toward research efforts. These events feature racers with ALS alongside the other athletes running in support. Other fundraising events include golf outings, concerts, and the annual Tradition of Hope Gala. The organization also shares inspirational stories from individuals and families living with this disease.

Southeastern Arizona is one of the top birding destinations in North America for its wide variety of regional endemics and Mexican vagrants. From easy to access Madera Canyon, to the mysterious rock formations of the Chiricahua Mountains, Southeastern Arizona is a place full of adventure, excitement, and some serious 3rd world road conditions.
Whether you want to experience this area by falling asleep to Elf Owls calling above your tent, being awoken to the raspy voice of the Mexican jay, or by staying in one of the many bed and breakfasts in the region, this area can accommodate all types.
If you're excited to be out of cell reception, have the chance to run across some "international travelers" or the hominid type of Mexican vagrant, or are in search of some "living gems" such as the Blue-throated Hummingbird (aka the Blue-throated mountaingem), this place has it all.
As a coworker once told him "Andrew, after your first visit to Southeastern Arizona, you'll look for every excuse possible to go back", he has visited this region at a variety of different times on five distinct trips.
Anchorage Audubon's own Andrew Fisher will share some tips, fun trip itineraries, how to see some of the highly sought after bird species, and do his best to make everyone buy a one-way ticket to Tucson!

Mind Mint: The thin margin between destiny and doom.
I'm halfway through reading Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign. The "doomed" theme hangs over every chapter as the authors share story after story about a deeply flawed candidate running an equally flawed campaign.
But here's the thing: Clinton's margin of defeat was paper-thin. She lost Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by a total of 79,000 votes, less than 1% of the popular vote in each of those states. Any number of factors (think James Comey's controversial email announcement) could have easily swung the election in Clinton's favor.
If a tiny slice of the electorate had pulled the other lever, the authors would have written an entirely different book. Even though 99.9% of the objective facts would be the same, Clinton's campaign would be cast in terms of destiny rather than doom.
I discussed this idea in a recent Mind Mint, but it's worth restating: every story can be told in multiple ways. As authors of our own stories – the endings of which are not yet decided – we get to choose which events and themes get highlighted. Let's make the bold choices that move us toward living our best lives.
Fun fact: the authors of Shattered planned to use that title whether Clinton won or lost. It was either going to be about shattering the glass ceiling or a shattered campaign.


Modern Indian food at Chef Manish Malhotra's Indian Accent. Great food and creative presentation abound as we sample the menu.
This most sought after table in the city was a treat from my sister. So, we reached The Manor hotel with high expectations for a Sunday lunch. I chose the vegetarian tasting menu to be washed down with martinis.
This culinary affair opened with baby naans with blue cheese stuffing. Interesting but not unique.
The amuse bouche was a sweet corn shorba with garam masala which was quite nice.
The potato sphere chaat, with white pea ragda.
The burrata papdi chaat wasnt quite so great nor was the pulled kathal phulka taco. The phulka taco was too bland and limp to give any crunch to this fusion.
The tofu medu vadai with its accompaniment was a delightful twist and much enjoyed.
The melt in your mouth goat cheese kebabs.
The next course was fusion lasagna with sheets of potato with minced soya which was flavorful.
The mattar paneer was a sort of deconstructed version with a pea puree and paneer ravioli stuffed with baingan bharta. I couldn't really get used to the change in the texture from the original dish, and this was probably wasted on me.
The chur chur roti with pesto.
The dal was quite tasty.
The meal ended with daulat ki chaat – a favourite.
The carrot halwa tart which though nice can never match the halwa cooked by your grandmothers and mothers.
The Old Monk rum ball with 70% dark chocolate.
Neverthless, a happy experience though I do feel Indian Accent will do more justice to a non-vegetarian palate.

Solar Storms in 2012: Affects on our Electronic world
by Peter Chubb August 17, 2010, 09:57 2 Comments
We were recently bombarded with a solar storm, which we discussed in a recent post, and although we were not affected in a way that had been first reported — we should not under estimate how damaging these storms can be.
To me this is just a warning of what's to come, so I felt I needed to dig a little deeper, and I wish I never. An article on Jakarta Post written back in February looks at when he next major solar storm will be, and it comes as no coincidence that it will be in 2012 — the same year when the Mayan calendar ends.
Scientists have studied what sort of affects the storm will cause, and it does not look good due to our dependency on electronics. It is believed that our satellites could age by 50 years, and mobile communications and GPS could be affected the most. According to a recent report from LAPAN, the flare would have the same power as "100 million hydrogen bombs."
It is believed that the storm would last for two days, but in that time would have a serious effect on our economy. As yet we cannot tell when a storm is coming but LAPAN is working on a warning system. Do you think that this is just scare mongering, or could a solar storm be as harmful as what they say? A word of warning, do not watch Knowing after reading this.

Ad tech firm OpenX will launch in Singapore in the third quarter of this year. This will serve as a regional hub for the company as its business continues to experience international growth.
The company plans on "making the necessary investments in talent to ensure continued success and growth in the region" and the current plan is to increase headcount in the region by more than a dozen. The release also added that, OpenX's investment in APAC will continue throughout 2018 with additional headcount and expansion into other markets, including Australia where it hopes to launch by the end of the year.
This move comes after OpenX experienced recent momentum in Japan, including 52% year-over-year growth in revenue with the hiring of a new senior business leader and the doubling of publisher partnerships in the region. Expansion in Southeast Asia is said to supplement OpenX's presence in other Asian markets, most notably Japan, where the company claims to rank as the second largest digital advertising exchange behind Google.
Open X's co-founder, Jason Fairchild,added that the growth of programmatic technology "opens up even greater possibilities to drive consumer engagement at scale" as mobile and in app engagement currently dominate the region.
"We look forward to supporting the leading content creators and app developers throughout the region to grow their businesses with the highest quality, innovative advertising technology solutions we have been known for more than a decade," he added.
According to a Fairchild, the opportunity in APAC right now is massive and the region is a largely mobile market, with mobile app advertising surging. Quoting an eMarketer report, he said that digital advertising in Southeast Asia surpassed US$2 billion in 2017, growing 20% year-over-year.
"The market growth and the desire expressed by leading brand marketers in the region for innovative technologies and partners with deep commitments to quality and strengths in mobile offer a perfect growth opportunity for OpenX," he added.
"We felt the time was right to grow our regional partnerships and grow our presence throughout the market," he said. In terms of Singapore specifically, Fairchild said the city-state had a lot of its existing global partners located. "It is innovative, tech centered culture offered great synergies for our business and for our recruiting efforts," he added.

We are excited to announce a new editor's pick and our first in the category of child car seat covers: the Kiddopotamus Elite Duomat 2 in 1 Car Seat Protector Mat. This child car seat cover has all the right functionality and gets rave reviews from customers. It won the iParenting Media Award for its patent pending design!
Before we get started, keep in mind that seat covers have three important characteristics: comfort, protection and fit. Our editor's picks all have these three characteristics and reviewers agree. For other examples of seat covers that have these characteristics check out the SmartSeat Chair Protector which is a dining seat chair cover and the Solvit 62283 Deluxe Bench Seat Cover for Pets which is a car bench seat cover. You can see all our editor's pick here.
The Kiddopotamus Elite Duomat is made from premium non-skid materials on both the top and bottom of the mat to help keep your child's seat securely in place and prevent the mat from slipping. We can't say enough about how important this feature is on seat covers regardless of their type. Whether it's a vinyl chair cover that squeaks and slips or a polyester car seat cover that slides off the chair users find slippery seat covers uncomfortable and frustrating. To help give you a great fit, a stabilizing wedge helps secure the Elite DuoMat in place. Deeper side slots accommodate LATCH anchors and seats belts.
Next, the Kiddopotamus Elite Duomat 2 in 1 Car Seat Protector Mat is made with ultra dense molded foam padding prevents scratches and dents to your car's upholstery. We recognize that this is more valuable for leather style car seats that scratch but it will also be helpful on upholstered fabric where its waterproof material can provide protection from spills. Waterproof materials prevent stains and soiling on upholstery. Wipes clean for easy care.
Finally, the Kiddopotamus Elite Duomat has straight forward look to it that has very broad appeal.
In terms of additional features, this great car seat cover has a back panel that can fold to the perfect height for rear facing infant seats so you don't need to worry about tall mats falling over on your children, toddlers or babies. There are handy mesh pockets that help to keep drinks, snacks and toys organized and in easy reach.
Why is it called 2-in-1?
The Kiddopotamus Elite DuoMat Car Seat Mat is a 2-in-1 car seat that works with both infant seats and convertible car seats and boosters. In other words, it's great value for money because you can extract a longer life from the cover. When your child graduates to forward facing car seat and booster seats, the Elite DuoMat back folds open to the tallest height of any mat available to provide full protection even from high back booster seats.
So what do the reviewers say?
Let's start with the positives. Reviewers say that this cover is just the right height and has just the right degree of firmness. Other car seat covers are called out for being to hard which makes it difficult to fully secure the seat on top. Those that are too soft slip or fall and don't fully protect the seat. The seat is very effective at preventing dents in the car seat and protects the back also because of its height. Reviewers love the ability to use this for tall kid car seats and the way it folds over for shorter infant car seat carriers. It gets high marks for durability, for surviving all manner of spills and mess and for not slipping.
There are not a lot of complaints relative to complements but buyers would like to be able to purchase this in different colors to better match the car interior. Also, while the seat cover is excellent at gripping the seat itself, the child car seat tends not to stick to the top of the seat cover quite so well.
Some reviewers mention that you can't really put three of them on a bench seat because they are two wide. On the other hand other say they wish they were slightly wider. In all likelihood, that means that the width is probably just right for most vehicles and most uses. The only other issue is whether it cinches tight enough to make the seat secure. Given how few complaints there are about this, we feel that this is not a general problem but if you have any doubts make sure you return the product rather than taking a chance with child safety.
Check out the Kiddopotamus Elite Duomat.

I gave you a peek into Lupine's perfume making kit yesterday but thought I'd share a bit more with you about it today. Because she was wild for this gift and has hardly stopped blending oils since she opened the box.
Honestly, the whole thing was a bit of an after-though when I didn't cast off her cowl in time. I put it together in an evening, including painting and decoupaging the box.
And because it was a cinch to put together and such a runaway hit for Lupine, I thought it might make a wonderful gift for your teen or preteen who is interested in essential oils, perfumes, or scent blending!
And I think useful, thoughtful, fun gift ideas for teens or pre-teens are always welcome. Don't you?
Less is more. I went a little overboard because we're LüSa (how could I not?) but I suggest providing just four to six varied oils to allow for a good deal of exploration.
Six to twelve perfume bottles should be plenty to get you started.
Since essential oils should never be used undiluted on the skin, (see below for proper dilution information) include a base oil for blending with. I love jojoba oil. It can never become rancid and therefore is a wonderful choice for scent blends.
* BUDGET TIP: To be more mindful of your budget, use any mildly scented, liquid oil you have at home (sunflower, olive, etc.).
Find a sturdy, non-cardboard box or bin to store your supplies.
* BUDGET TIP: Scrounge your basement or hit the thrift store before you buy new! Twelve hours before Lupine's birthday this had "WISCONSIN cheese" emblazoned across the top. Two coats of paint and a little mod podge and it was a custom EO kit.
Lupine is using the lid from a broken gallon-sized mason jar. Find something that will catch drips to simplify clean-up.
For filling perfume bottles or blending scents.
Basically a small zip bag full of narrow strips of cardstock or heavy paper. To use, your child will add one drop of a single scent to a strip for any oils he or she is working with. Then they can hold several together to see how the scents combine. A great tool for learning about blending oils!
for labeling new scent blends and the dropper bottles of essential oils.
Give your child a place to jot down recipes and keep track of blends they love and blends they don't!
Because. Well, glitter. The fun-factor of the gift goes up tenfold with this simple addition.
What a wonderful way to learn the basics of not only scent blending but also essential oil safety and use! I love this book (but I'm not sure how appealing it would be to a pre-teen), but this might also be promising.
For proper EO dilution aim for 10 to 20 drops of essential oils per ounce of carrier oil in the final perfume.
P.S. If a kit of the basics supplies would be appealing to you leave a comment below letting me know! I might be able to put something together to offer up.
A kit would be splendid!!!!
Oh, I would LOVE a kit for my daughter this Christmas! Yes, please!!
how awesome! thank you for this! I'm not sure that I could budget a kit for yule, but for valentines day this sounds perfect!!
One thing I've found is that using the purist organic essential oils makes the scents that much better.

Home Uncategorized Two for the Road
There's only one man in Miranda Lambert's exciting, high-profile life, and that's her equally famous husband and fellow country music star Blake Shelton. For the next few months, however, she'll be seeing a lot more of someone else.
The Locked and Reloaded Tour, which started in January, brings Lambert and friend Dierks Bentley together again to co-headline the tour. They rock Oklahoma City at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, 100 W. Reno Ave., Friday, March 8. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. with special guest Lee Brice.
Both Lambert and Bentley are credited with bringing some much-needed country roots to today's airwaves. Lambert, who lives in Tishomingo, Okla. with Shelton, has been named top female vocalist multiple years by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. Her current album, Four the Record, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. She also anticipates the release of a new album with her trio, Pistol Annies, in 2013.
Bentley brings his own share of accolades. A multi-platinum selling artist, he saw his album Home debut at No. 1 in 2012. He was also Grammy Award nominated for Best Country Solo Performances for Home. With 10 No. 1 songs to his career, he combines influences from bluegrass and rock music into his sound.
On a double-billed show, the audience will find that Lambert and Bentley take a similar approach to country. As for touring with Shelton, it's not on Lambert's calendar yet, but would it really surprise anyone if it came true? Our fingers are crossed.
Tickets to the concert are $28 and $57.75, available at the box office and online at www.chesapeakearena.com.

Highway of death: Why has Indian Head Highway had so many fatal crashes?
According to AAA, at least 14 people have been killed in crashes along Indian Head Highway in the past four years. Three pedestrians also have died there since 2013.
WASHINGTON — You don't have to ask him twice about why Indian Head Highway, otherwise known as Md. 210, is so deadly.
"Aggressive and reckless driving is the order of the day on Indian Head Highway," said the Rev. Robert Screen, the chaplain at Fort Washington Medical Center.
Screen is often called upon in the middle of the night to console the loved ones of those killed or seriously hurt in crashes on the highway, which is near the hospital. He's written letters to Maryland's governor, state police and to Prince George's County's executive and police chief in order to voice his concerns.
"You just haven't had the amount of police awareness, presence, enforcement policies to keep up with the volume of traffic … and the number of people … speeding," said Screen.
On Tuesday, AAA Mid-Atlantic released data from its analysis of crash data provided by Prince George's County police. According to AAA, at least 14 people have been killed in crashes along Md. 210 in the past four years. Three pedestrians also have died there since 2013.
The highway has developed a deadly reputation. Many residents also remember the worldwide headlines made in 2008, when eight people were killed in a drag race gone bad — an illegal drag racer plowed a crowd of spectators in Accokeek, Maryland.
Four motorcyclists were killed in crashes on Indian Head Highway between 2014 and 2017, according to AAA data.
Regional growth over the past decade has put thousands more cars on Md. 210 and the debut of MGM National Harbor has added even more traffic.
AAA said it's up to drivers to be extra vigilant.
Screen said the state officials must commit to fixing the road and bridges.

Barcelona fails to get past the Champions League groups for the first time in 20 years
Barcelona failed to qualify for the playoffs of the European Champions League, after losing to its German host Bayern Munich by three goals.
This is in the meeting that brought the two teams together on Wednesday evening, at the "Allianz Arena", in the sixth and final round of Group E in the Champions League for the current season 2021-2022.
Barcelona moved to the European League after finishing third in Group E.
The "Opta" network, which specializes in monitoring statistics, stated that the Catalan team failed to overcome the group stage of the European Champions League for the fourth time in its history and the first in 20 years, specifically during the 2000-2001 season, and then participated in the European Union Cup.
bayern vs barcelona
Bayern Munich ended the first half of the match with a clean double, and Thomas Muller opened the scoring for Bayern Munich in the 34th minute with a header, reaching the 50th goal in the Champions League.
Leroy Sane added the second goal of the Bavarian team in the 43rd minute from a missile shot that Ter Stegen failed to address.
In the second half, young Jamal Musila added Bayern Munich's third goal in the 62nd minute of the match, after following a cross from Canadian Alfonso Davies.
In the same group, Benfica defeated Dinamo Kiev, Ukraine, with a clean double, to qualify the Portuguese team, along with Bayern Munich, to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich scored the full mark with 18 points, then Benfica of Portugal with 8 points, Barcelona 7 points and finally Dynamo Kiev one point.

Comics I Need to Read: SKIN DEEP
Hiya people! It's me, Mexi! Here for another Comics I Need to Read! The column where I read a comic by a little known creator!
This month's pick is a webcomic a friend of mine has been trying to get me to read for FOREVER. It's a pretty long running webcomic, has been around for about twelve freaking years, but I never hear people talk about it other than my friend, so I'm actually super stoked to write about it. The webcomic I need to read is:
Skin Deep by Kory Bing
Skin Deep is a mythical tale about monsters living amongst humans. While there are probably about a dozen side stories that filter in and out of the picture over the about twelve year ongoing run of this tale, the main story follows a young woman named Michelle Jocasta who learns that she's actually a Grecian Sphinx after coming into contact with a mysterious medallion, a monster species that was supposedly long extinct after a Great War between Sphinxes and Dragons.
There's something about reading a long running comic that just feels almost prideful. It's this evolution of storytelling and art that you can see right before your very eyes. Yeah, I might have made the terrible life decision of sitting down one day and reading the entire twelve years worth of story in one eight hour sitting, but there's a reason I didn't stop reading. Because it was amazing to read.
There is such a distinct trajectory to the art in this comic. You can look at the panels done at the very beginning of the first arc all the way through to this latest arc and just see the hard work and effort Bing has put into this piece
Heck, there's a major jump in quality from the first arc to the prequel arc that revolves mostly around Jimothy and Lorne. It's this upwards moving exponential shift into better and better details, better faces, better color quality that just makes me proud of all the time and energy Bing must have placed into this webcomic.
Her character design is amazing. I love the work she does on every single mythical creature. While I do love Blanche and how just gorgeous he is, I would say my favorite character designs come from the Wonderland monsters. From Frumious Bandersnatches to Grub-Grub Birds, there's amazing intricacy in the work placed into Wonderland creatures that doesn't always come up in others.
I do have a soft spot for the Opinicus as well. Jimothy's design is just a beautiful thing and I love how animated he can be. I love how he fluffs out his neck feathers when he's frustrated, annoyed, or nervous. I love the design for the midform. It's just a really cool look.
Okay, I have to talk about it again. I love Blanche's character design. Human, midform, White Stag form. All of it is dazzling and I could read side stories of him just being there forever.
However, that's not all I like about Blanche, I love his character as a whole. He's this great guy who just wanted to tell his best friend the truth about himself and ended up dealing with a terrible situation and being blamed for something that wasn't necessarily his fault. What's almost a bit heartbreaking is that he never gives up on the person who blames him and is constantly looking for ways to make that person feel better. Sometimes, I feel like Blanche deserves a better friend than Tony, even if I understand why Tony isn't necessarily taking what happened to him well.
Since this comic has been going on for about twelve years, though, there's a lot of layers to the story, a lot of different points of view when it comes to being a mythical creature, if a character was raised knowing about everything or if they just Turned, how they feel about being part of the double-edged sword which is the non-human community, how other monsters view each other, view sexuality, view interracial relationships. There is a surprising yet not surprising amount of time dedicated to showing that, yes, even in this weird world of monsters, there is still racism. There's a lot of time dedicated to showing how being a monster impacts people, both the good and bad sides, whether they view it as cursed with awesome or blessed with suck.
The story building in general is superb. Because Bing's had such a long time to create this comic and layer it with mythos and lore, delving into the types of creatures that inhabit the avalons, who has medallions, who doesn't. The creatures who do pop up either subvert or fall in line with the legends that encapsulate their species in human tales and are well crafted.
I could probably go on and on about this comic, since there is twelve years worth of webcomic to mine (I haven't even touched the angels and demons yet), but I'll stop here and just tell you to read it. If you want a great, long running series, this is one you should check out. You can find it here.
Next Month, I'll be reading:
We Are All Superstitious by Chan Chau
You can get a copy of the mini comic here if you'd like to read along with me.
If you have any thoughts on Skin Deep or have a creator I should try reading, please, email me at mexigremillion@gmail.com. Who knows? Maybe I'll talk about your thoughts or read something by that creator!
See you next month!

Ghost, Cities, and Other Pains: The Sad Violence of LOS FANTASMAS DE MI CIUDAD


The launch of abc ivf has taken the world by storm and our transparent approach to IVF is often featured in the press.
Praful Nargund, CEO of abc ivf, spoke to That's Manchester TV urging the governing bodies that control local NHS budgets to refrain from slashing IVF funding.
abc ivf offers low-cost treatments to a growing number of reproductively challenged customers.
We are very proud and honoured to announce that abc ivf's revolutionary 'Shoebox IVF' technology will be on display at the Science Museum's exhibition - IVF: 6 Million Babies Later.
The hope is patients will not need to go for cheaper, riskier treatment abroad.
A drop in the level of NHS funding for IVF treatment is driving a boom in the private sector.
abc ivf has conducted a study into the prices of private IVF treatment across the UK.
Some IVF patients are being charged more than three times as much as others.
Thousands of private patients are being charged more than 3 times extra for blood tests, drugs and consultations.
There is a fundamental deficit of IVF pricing knowledge within the NHS.
Professor Geeta Nargund said she wanted to improve access to IVF treatment as cuts to NHS funding increase.
We are happy to comment on any topics related to IVF treatment, NHS IVF funding and the revolutionary 'Shoebox IVF' technology.


In the early 2000s, I stumbled on a book that radically changed the way I thought about ghost stories and the paranormal. That book was The Last Laugh by Raymond Moody, Jr. Today, it is only available in digital format on Amazon Kindle. After all these years, I still recommend it to my readers interested in having a more complete perspective on this subject. Don't be afraid to move beyond the usual paradigm–you might be surprised at what you discover about yourself and what it means to be human.
The Last Laugh was meant not only to be a post-script to Life After Life, but to also serve as that final missing piece. The premise of The Last Laugh is simple but revolutionary. Throughout recent history, there have been three main players in the discussion of the paranormal: parapsychologists, professional skeptics, and fundamentalists. Not only have these three perspectives not advanced our knowledge very much on the issue, but Moody contends that neither actually wants to resolve the debate, because in resolving the controversy they would eliminate their reason for existence and also lose a source of fun and entertainment in the process.
That the paranormal is, fundamentally, about fun and entertainment seems to be Moody's deepest insight. His solution to our intellectual logjam on the subject is to propose a new perspective: "playful paranormalism." Playful paranormalism sheds a more pragmatic light on the subject and declares that there is nothing "true" or "false" to be found in the subject, only experiences both interesting and meaningful. Most people's attitude toward the paranormal is similar to their attitude toward professional wrestling. Everyone loves to watch but no one takes questions about its reality very seriously. Only the "big three" perspectives take paranormal phenomena literally, insisting on a set vocabulary and a rigid interpretation of the events.
By viewing the paranormal as a form of entertainment, we open it up as a meaningful field of study. What is the history of the paranormal? How do we experience it? How do we talk about it? What is paranormal? All of these questions have been left out of the debate by the "big three." Playful paranormalism removes the logjam that has kept discussions of the paranormal mired in endless, circular debate. "I believe that readers who follow my arguments through to their conclusions will arrive at what is, ultimately, a more comprehensive, useful, and satisfying solution of the mysteries of the paranormal than is offered by any of the ready-to-wear theories that dominate the market," he concludes.
I believe that Moody more than accomplishes his goal. In addition to its central thesis, The Last Laugh contains a number of surprising insights, including Moody's efforts at recreating an ancient Greek technique for causing participants to experience aspects of the near-death experience. Do not let the negative reviews dissuade you–many are from readers angry that Moody "changed his mind" about near death experiences, even though he explains how his publisher manipulated his original work on page one. They are the same close-minded ideologues that Moody does such an effective job of exposing.

Shiny floors at the push of a button!
The iRobot Braava 390t mops wet or dry floors. It impresses with its ease-of-use and versatility, restoring the bright shine to all different kinds of hard floors (e.g. tiles, laminate, parquet). Thanks to its NorthStar® Navigation System, the Braava 390t is able to clean numerous rooms. The microfibre pads are washable and can be reused multiple times.
The iRobot Braava takes care of the daily mopping work for different floor types throughout your home. The robot can clean not only tiles but also vinyl or laminate. Braava 390t uses either washable microfibre or disposable cloths.
In this mode, Braava cleans the floor dry in straight lines. With its microfibre cloth, it reliably removes dirt, dust and hair. Simply fix the cleaning pad (including microfibre cloth) underneath the robot mop.
In "Mop" mode, the Braava uses a forward and backward motion to wet and mop the floor. Just fill the robot mop with water and mount the cleaning pad, and let it do the rest!
The NorthStar® Navigation System is similar to an indoor GPS signal. It allows the iRobot Braava 390t to map the given area and remember the floors it's already cleaned. When operating several NorthStar® Navigation Cubes, please make sure to use different channels.
In "Sweep" mode, the iRobot Braava 390t cleans up to 93 m2 and 33 m2 in the "Mop" mode. With multiple NorthStar® Navigation Cubes, the iRobot Braava would be able to cover up to 186 m2.
Before cleaning, the iRobot Braava 390t needs to be fully charged. After filling with water and fixing the cleaning pad and cloth, you can choose the cleaning mode. The Braava then immediately starts the cleaning process and automatically returns to the starting point when finished.
The Braava 390t comes with a quick charging station when purchased. This can fully charge the robot mop in just two hours.
The Braava 390t is the official successor of the Braava 380t, offering all the same functionalities of its predecessor, but in an attractive new colour; the Braava 380t comes in black and the Braava 390t in white.
Very pleased with the robot.
The iRobot Braava 390t Floor Mopping Robot is excelent as expected.
Ideal purchase to keep hard floors looking good.
Happy with it so far. Sweeping is ok. Moping is good. Looks good. As long as you are not expecting anything other that a gentle wipe of your floor with a wet cloth then you will be Happy with it. I would recommend it to friends/family.
Wanted a robot to wash the floors.
It does the job very well.
Chose a second machine for my home in England. Does a first rate job.
IRobot was easy to set up and I was amazed to see how much dirt the microfibre cloth had collected. The machine was silent and cleaned the whole of my large kitchen floor very efficiently. I am delighted with this product and would recommend it.
The price is exellent compare to other vendors but a bit overpriced in general.
I don't enjoy cleaning floors and now the Braava does the work for me. Dirt is collected into corners or collected on the duster and has to be picked up and areas of sticky spills have to be wiped with more pressure, but that is small work in comparison to doing it all by hand. The machine is incredibly quiet and is very easy to set up and leave running.
It has a dusting facility which, even though I sweep and wash my floors daily, collects a surprising amount of dust and fluff. I love this machine It cuts the amount of time it takes me to manually wash my floors (because of course I have to wash them anyway) and thereby is worth every penny.
Very silent, slowly and meticulously doing its job, covering every area. I plan to exploit it to the maximum, it will spare me a long time.
I already own a Roomba and wanted to have a mopping robot. It's a nice robot, surprisingly silent. Picks up a decent amount of dirt even in sweeping mode and seems that it can maintain the cleannes with mopping on regular basis - However I'm still testing it.
Love the product, rated by which magazine which is why we chose it.
Now looking to by a robot vacuum cleaner too.
I must admit to being a little sceptical about this product, but my fears were entirely misplaced. It works a dream on both my laminate floors and tiled floors. It's amazing how well it cleans, and it is also whisper quiet - you can happily leave it running as you work, listen to music, read, or watch TV.
Cumple con lo esperado. Quizás necesitaría una batería de mas capacidad.
I received this robot a few days ago only, used a few times. Before ordering I did extensive research, read a lot of reviews, so I knew what I can expect from it. It is not washing machine, it only mops your floor to maintain cleanness and this is what we need in our house. I know that it will require some investment in the future as well, for example changing the batery, so I am ready for that.
Now we have cleand floors without any work.
Excellent product, helping a lot.
Tolles produkt. Hält was verspicht. Große Hilfe im Haushalt.
For such a tiny robot the results are very good. Not a peplacement for the traditional mop but for a quick cleaning very useful.

If you're heading to see the sold-out Ariana Grande concert inside Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday, you'll want to leave your purse at home.
The Wells Fargo Center just announced its bag policy for Tuesday night's (March 26) stop of the Sweetener Tour. In fact, the policy is in effect for every stop on Ari's tour.
The good news is that a policy like this keeps fans safe and usually shortens the time spent in line to enter the arena.
NO cameras or recording devices will be allowed in the arena. Cell phones (that have a camera) ARE permitted.
Each fan may carry one bag, according to officials, however, they must follow these rules.
All bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12".
* An exception will be made for medically necessary items after thorough proper inspection at a gate designated for this purpose.
Fans are encouraged to bring their own clear bag for their belongings, but bags can also be purchased from the Sweetener Tour souvenir shop or on ArianaGrande.com.

McDonald's Worker Fired After Refusing Service To Cop
A McDonald's employee in Texas was fired after refusing service to a police officer and his family.
The incident occurred at a McDonald's in Brenham, KBTX reported. An off-duty police officer was ordering food for himself and his two children when an employee denied him service.
"Nobody deserves to be treated like that," Brenham Police Chief Craig Goodman told KHOU. "We know that these problems exist everywhere, but we did not expect that here."
McDonald's customers were also disturbed by the incident.
"It's beyond disrespectful, it's anti-American," one customer, named Gloria, told the news station.
"The same lady that refused the officer, if someone breaks into her house, who is she going to call?" another customer, H.C. Troxler, wondered.
The officer was eventually served by another employee. The franchise owner of the restaurant confirmed the worker who denied the officer service is no longer employed with McDonald's.
"They, much like a police organization, looked at what took place, and after gathering the information, they came to the right decision and that employee no longer works for their business," Goodman said.
Goodman added that the employee's son was in custody and facing serious charges. He said he believes that may have played a part in the employee's actions.
"He's disappointed in what happened, mainly because his kids were with him," Goodman said of the police officer, who is a former Marine. "We're not judging McDonalds and their employees based on the action of this one worker. Just like we ask the community and the country not judge our police officers because other officers make bad decisions."

Named after Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa, the country's landscape and culture is incredibly diverse. From towering peaks to sprawling deserts, colourful coral reefs to lush rainforests and the best game parks in the world, Kenya is a stunning backdrop for your African adventure.
Contained within the Great Rift Valley are some of Kenya's most picturesque sights – including the glistening flamingo lakes as well as an incredible range of wildlife.
Lake Turkana is both the world's largest permanent desert lake, and the world's largest alkaline lake. Set within the Great Rift Valley, it supports a rich and varied range of life, including many fish and bird species as well as large populations of turtles and crocodiles. The eastern shore is known by many anthropologists as the cradle of humankind due to the number of incredibly ancient human remains discovered there.
The highest mountain in the country, Mount Kenya straddles the equator and is peaked in Africa only by Kilimanjaro. It is an extinct volcano of roughly 3 million years old, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the few places on the African equator with permanent glaciers. These feed the lakes at which some of our best heli-fishing is done, high in Mount Kenya National Park – and they also provide an important water source for the animals and civilisations of Kenya.
Maasai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve. Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific. Including migrants, well over 450 species have been recorded, among them, 57 species of birds of prey.

If you have a house of your own, you won't want people to be watching in whenever they want. To avoid that from happening, you can of course adorn your window with a couple of curtains, but they have the downside of making your room pretty dark. A nice solution might be to hang up a couple of blinds. But where is the best place to shop for Blinds? One of the shops that is solely focussed on blinds is Direct Blinds. But are they the best, or are you better of going to a regular window dresser? What is the quality of the blinds and the customer service of those who make them? That is what customers that have already shopped at Directblinds can tell you. Read their reviews to help yourself decide whether getting new window dressing at Directblinds is a good idea or not.
As the name of the company already suggests, Direct Blinds is a company that supplies blinds. They have several choices in their assortment. They have roller blinds, blackout blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, roman blinds and even a category or regular curtains. You can search by sort, but you can also filter by room. This is useful in case you are just looking for blinds for your bathroom, bedroom, dining room, kitchen or living room. They even have a special subcategory of blinds for your office.
You can order online via their website. Just create an account and put the items that you want in your online basket. Delivery is free if your order is above £125. They offer standard delivery, but you can also opt for express delivery, next day delivery, timed delivery and shipping abroad. You can pay with PayPal, MasterCard and Visa. If you have any question or encounter any problem before, during or after your order, you can contact them. You can drop them an email or call them. Don't forget the section of popular questions. Your question may already be answered there. You can also find them on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Google+.
Have you already adorned your home with blinds from Direct Blinds? If you did, you might be able to share your opinion about this company. What is the quality of the blinds? Do they still work properly after a few years, or do you already have to replace them after a short period? Do they really help to keep unwanted unlookers out? Do they make you feel more secluded? Let us know by leaving a customer review with your experience, opinion, rating and more. Other people can benefit from your review because it will give them a better view of this company which in turn makes it easier for them to decide if they want to shop for new window dressing at Direct Blinds or not.


Vend is aimed at retailers, and we'd consider them a mid to top range software. That means it's designed for rich inventories with features like low stock notifications, complex item categorisation, and loyalty points. Their main competitor is Lightspeed Retail.
£25/m per till for Lite and £69/m per till for Pro.
What makes it different from Lightspeed Retail?
They're similar. Vend can be cheaper for e-comm integrations; Lightspeed can be better for shops with service elements. If you're not sure, feel free to give us a ring and we can advise on what suits your specific needs more.
There's a web login so it can be accessed from any device – iPad, Android, PC, Mac. Most hardware (including anything displayed here) is compatible. For payments, it can integrate with iZettle, Square, SumUp, PaymentSense. It can also integrate with Xero or Quickbooks. All the hardware on this page works with Vend.
Vend has 24/7 phone customer service. It has a large UK team and customer service is generally good.
If you have all your stock in a spreadsheet it can be imported to Vend quickly. It's a quick set-up but leave aside a couple of hours to customise things exactly how you'd like. Vend has a 30-day free trial. To get put in touch, email hello@storekit.com.
Vend customer service & technical support shines.
Support is available 24x7. Always helpful & responsive. Adding products is quite easy (also being able to duplicate would be nice).
We wish that we could customize receipts with information in the extended description. We also dream of an integrated scale feature since much of our inventory is sold by weight.
Very user friendly and many great functions. I love how easy it is to find daily, weekly, monthly reports.
sometimes there is a bit of a lag in updating daily sales totals, but that may have been an internet issue.
Great for our chain of coffee lounges. Easy to use and enjoy the customer loyalty. Inventory is easy to use.
Does not handle our needs. We are a furniture business and need customizable invoices, customer databases, and the ability to special order products with depsoits. System is not as robust as more expensive solutions but you get what you pay for.
The customer service is out of this world. They NEVER leave you hanging & always resolve my issues in the one phone call. These guys truly understand retail & the time pressures involved & have never let me down. They're generally good, fun peeps to deal with as well.
I have a pretty demanding list of requirements for reporting & some of them require a bit of excel manipulation, HOWEVER - the data has always been there, I've just needed to massage it a bit.
Great product for running a retail store! The product works very well and set up is quite easy.
Depending on merchant account, the software doesn't always allow refunds to be performed at the till (iPad).
The UI and layout is clear and simple.
buggy when adding products. Cannot add products on the fly or do special orders. Cannot do work orders.
Great easy to use systems on the front end, stable data base that despite having over 6,000 items with in it doesn't miss a beat. It professional looking. Elegantly handles discounts by either % or by dollar value. Great reports. Integrates well with Xero and my website.
Beware Employers, anyone who can enter in new stock will see everything, sales history, reports, you sensitive business data, your business health. Download load it try it for yourself. I have raised this with Vend, and my response back was "Is this really a problem?". For me it is.
Simple to use. Flexible, and can cover multiple locations. Very easy inventory management, and can do inventory counts right online, and you can break up products into categories.
There isn't much. The only thing that I wish it could do is easily sync inventory with Enterprise desktop editions of Quickbooks. It does support Xero and Online Quickbooks.
