Recently the topic of the living wage in Vancouver has been featured on several news outlets. Unfortunately, most segments discussing the living wage are often short and lacking details. We have decided to take the challenge and put together the living wage for a single individual residing in the City of Vancouver; arguably one of the most expensive cities to live in North America.
Before we begin, it is important to define the Living Wage, as it isn't a common term.
The minimal hourly wage necessary to avoid indentured servitude. The living wage provides enough after tax income to afford an individual's accommodations (rent not mortgage payments), enough groceries for three square meals per day, basic transportation, clothing necessary to look like a function member of society, personal security including telecommunications, and several miscellaneous expenses (i.e. bank charges, MSP premiums, toiletries, etc.).
On top of all the monthly expenses above, the living wage should allow the individual to be able to afford one night out per month. An individual who works a job who can only afford their bare necessities is considered a victim of indentured servitude. The living wage leaves no room in the budget for debt repayments, savings, or any major purchases.
We have to be realistic, most Canadians currently has consumer debt in one form or another. The living wage serves as a planning tool for those who earn well above the that hourly rate. Individuals can simply adjust their current livelihood (i.e. downsizing accommodations, reducing lifestyle costs, reducing monthly payments for services not be used, etc.) and then allocate their funds to pay off their debts. This will allow more flexibility to save up for short term & long term goals.
So how much is the Vancouver Living Wage?
Would you believe us if we told you that you would only need to earn $10.70 per hour full time? Unlike other articles and news segments, we decided to show our calculations, to ensure potential cynics have enough material before commencing a debate.
We were able to figure out the actual hourly rate by solving the monthly after tax budget and then figuring out the annual after tax income. Finally, we referred to the Federal and Provincial income tax tables to get the annual gross earnings, then we divided by 2,080 hours. We expect many individuals will challenge our budget; fortunately the figures above are there for you to review.
Considering that an individual could survive with the budget above, how much more would an individual need to afford a desirable lifestyle, pay off debts, and save for the future? Well it depends on the individual; therefore, we rolled up our sleeves and calculated the numbers for your convenience.
By balanced budget, we mean an individual could have a preferable budget allocation of 50% bare necessities, 30% lifestyle costs, and 20% for savings and securities (recommended allocation by industry professionals). The median income in Canada currently sits around the $23.84 wage presented in the table above. Also, there are new residential developments in East Vancouver starting at $200,000, which would allow an individual to become a homeowner in Vancouver. So it is possible to have it all in this city with very little.
An individual that allows for flexibility in their monthly budgets could find themselves with lucrative opportunities to live in a city that is deemed too expensive.
What do you think needs to be added or taken away from the Living Wage Budget?

Conventional voyage optimization algorithms often follow similar estimation procedures to design a ship's optimal sailing courses and schedules, through first generate waypoints/grids along a ship's sailing area, construct candidate routes, and implement a searching method to find the optimal route with respect to specific objectives. One important variable to control a ship's operation is the navigation condition, which may lead to the fact that the planned optimum route is only a locally optimal solution for a ship's route planning. In this paper, a hybrid optimization algorithm is proposed to provide globally optimum route planning using Dijkstra's algorithm and genetic algorithm.

The computer virus used in the attack includes code known as Eternal Blue, a tool developed by the NSA that exploited Microsoft's Windows operating system, and which was published on the internet in April by a group called Shadowbrokers. Microsoft released a patch in March to protect systems from that vulnerability. Tim Rawlins, director of the Britain-based cyber security consultancy NCC Group, said these attacks continue to happen because people have not been keeping up with effectively patching their computers. "This is a repeat WannaCry type of outbreak and it really comes down to the fact that people are not focusing on what they should be focusing on, the very simple premise of patching your systems," Rawlins told VOA.

Street Legal Sin R1 Supercar to Debut at Autosport 2014
Intially unveiled at Autosport International 2013 held annually in Birmingham, the Sin R1 race car was a truly potent supercar unfortunately limited to the track. Following on from the success of the racing variant, Sin Car GmbH as well as British company Pro Formance Metals are set to unveil a road-going version of the Sin R1 at next month's Autosport International 2014!
Set to be produced in limited numbers next year, the road-going Sin R1 will be powered by a 500 hp Chevrolet sourced V8 engine. It will feature an FIA-homologated spaceframe chassis and will tip the scales at just 1,200 kg! Mated to this potent engine will be a motorsport developed six-speed transmission.
Other key features of the car include 362 mm disc brakes from AP Racing as well as a Formula One-style fuel tank created by M.E.RIN Safety Fuel.
When discussing the car, Pro Formance Metals Director Phil Matts said, "A lot's happened since we started discussing the project at Autosport International 2012, initially as a one-off vehicle. If you told us where we'd be almost two years later, starting from a blank piece of paper, I wouldn't have believed you.
We received a great reception when we unveiled the prototype race car in January, which has led to the development of the road-going version. Having both cars side-by-side at the 2014 show, ready for the open market, will be a very proud moment."

Entries to a Competition to Design a New Tower in London (1890)
Piece originally published at Public Domain Review.
A selection of the more inventive entries to a competition to design a new tower for London. The year previous, 1889, saw the hugely successful Eiffel Tower go up in the centre of Paris, and the good people of London, not to be outdone, decided to get one of their own. A wonderful array of designs were put forward. Many were suspiciously similar to the Eiffel Tower and many erred on the wackier side of things, such as Design no.19, the "Century Tower", reminiscent of a huge screw, and London Vegetarian Society's design for an "aerial colony" which came complete with hanging vegetable gardens and a one-twelfth scale replica of the Great Pyramid on its summit. The very practical design number 37 by Stewart, McLaren and Dunn was eventually chosen to be awarded the 500 guinea prize-money and built in Wembley Park. Construction began in 1892 but the company in charge of the erection, The Metropolitan Tower Company, soon ran into problems including falling chronically behind schedule due to marshy ground and then financial difficulties which eventually led to their liquidation in 1889. Construction ceased after only 47 metres had been completed. The abandoned 'tower' (known as the Watkins Folly, or The London Stump) remained a spectacle in the park for a number of years before being deemed unsafe and blown up in 1904. Wembley Stadium ended up being built over the site for the 1923 British Empire Exhibition. When the stadium was rebuilt in 2000, the lowering of the level of the pitch resulted in the concrete foundations of the failed tower being rediscovered.
All images extracted from Descriptive illustrated catalogue of the sixty-eight competitive designs for the great tower for London compiled and edited by Fred. C. Lynde (1890). See the book in its entirety, including descriptions and more design entries, here

The Men's College building is a mansion in the historical center of Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk oblast.

The building was granted the status of regional significance on the 28th of December 2001 (the Sverdlovsk oblast Government Decree № 859). The object number of cultural heritage of regional significance is 661710946880005.

Architecture
The mansion was built in the middle of the 19th century. There is no data about the author of the construction project. So-called "exemplary facades" are typical for buildings of Russian cities the first half of the 19th century.

The one-story mansion is on a corner of Lenin Street (former Bolshaya Moskovskaya) and Communisticheskoy molodeji. The house has a square form.

The southern facade faces Lenin Street. It is divided into five window axes. The windows of the basement are rectangular with no window surroundings. The windows of the second floor are semicircular in the upper part. They organise a simple metric line in the frame a profiled archivolt. The space under the windows is decorated with rectangular raised panels as the space between windows.

The eastern façade faces Communisticheskoy molodeji Street. There is also the main entrance to the building. A tall wooden porch with a wooden fence and a wooden visor on the supports leads to the building. On the western facade the composition of the windows is changed and they are arranged in pairs. The decoration is the same as in the facades. The facade served as a firewall therefore it is a blank form wall.

In a few days, Vita Brevis will have published one hundred blog posts. Thinking back to about a year ago, when the subject of the blog was first broached, I can say that I only thought through the mechanics of preparing and posting the first half-dozen; everything after that seemed quite remote!
What can one say about the blog, circa May 2014? After a little more than five months in existence, it has played host to thirty-four bloggers, writing on topics as disparate as RootsTech 2014, the love troubles of William Norton in 1649, the antics of the Puddingstone Club in the early twentieth century, how best to use the NEHGS catalogue from home, an historical image Smack Down! between Google and Bing, and a list of the ships in the Winthrop Fleet in 1629–30. Alicia Crane Williams has published twenty blog posts since January 2 (or before the blog actually went live), and I have published twenty-one – between us, we are somehow responsible for more than 40% of all Vita Brevis posts.
One goal of the blog has been to serve as a forum for NEHGS staff and friends to write informally about their interests and the application of their specific expertise to more general research topics. When I described Vita Brevis before its launch, I likened it to a mosaic, one where a multitude of short essays could provide the potential reader with hints and examples of what other genealogists have found to be successful research strategies.
Genealogical writing tends to be fairly dry, and it really has to be exact: not a recipe for light and witty prose, perhaps. Where Vita Brevis has been especially fortunate is in its bloggers, many of whom are used to writing formally and exactly, and all of whom write for the blog with wit and clarity and (often) a sense of fun. This was another goal: to provide a service with (as Mary Poppins might say) grace and humor.
There are many outlets in the field for the last word on a subject: Vita Brevis is designed to offer the reader insight into the ongoing research process as well as a sense of the excitement and the rewards of successful research. As such, it is not the last word, but rather a way station as its contributors do what they do best, learning and teaching and continuing to polish their skills.
"Vita Brevis" is a breath of fresh air! I hope to see the blog continue indefintely, as I always look forward to reading the topic and the comments that follow. Many thanks to you Mr. Steward, and to Alicia Crane Williams for making us s t r e t c h our genealogical minds – helping us in an educational and in an entertaining format. Many Kudos!
And, I can't wait to read the next one hundred!!!
Donna, I appreciate your encouragement!

Coriander seeds are the dried berries of the coriander herb, but have little similarity in taste to fresh coriander. The seeds can be bought whole or in powdered form. Ground coriander is a main component of many different spice mixtures including garam masala and harissa. It's also good added to savoury pickles, chutneys or casseroles and can be used in cakes and other baked goodies. Crushed whole coriander seeds are delicious for flavouring homemade burgers.

Званцовы, позднее Званцевы — русский дворянский род.

Род внесён в I часть дворянской родословной книги Нижегородской губернии.

Происхождение
Родоначальник Пётр Павлович Званцов (1753—1820), сын турецкого паши, погибшего при взятии крепости Жванец в 1769 году. Попечение о мальчике взял на себя великий князь Павел Петрович, крестил его именем Пётр, а отчество по обычаю дал Павлович. Фамилия была образована от названия крепости — Жванцов, которая впоследствии трансформировалась в Званцов, а позднее в конце XIX века написание фамилии изменилось на Званцев. По восшествии на престол Павла I,  пожалован камер-фурьером и 400 душами крестьян в дворцовых деревнях Селищи и Тарталеи в Нижегородской губернии.  возведён с потомством своим в дворянское достоинство Российской империи и пожалован дворянским гербом.

Описание герба
Щит разделён горизонтально на две части, из коих в верхней в красном поле изображён золотой крест, а в нижней части в голубом поле серебряный полумесяц, рогами вниз обращённый. Щит увенчан обыкновенным дворянскими шлемом с дворянскою на нём короною и тремя страусовыми перьями. Намёт на щите красный, подложенный серебром.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works
Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can choose brackets that are clear or metallic color. You can choose the color of the ties that hold the wire in brackets. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.
Duration of Treatment
Treatment time typically ranges from one to three years, depending on the growth of the patient's mouth and face and the severity of the problem. Patients grow at different rates and will respond variously to orthodontic treatment, so the time to case completion may differ from the original estimate. The patient's diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands or headgear is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment. Interceptive, or early treatment procedures, may take as few as six months.

The Marina is enormous and you'll find some very beautiful and large yachts berthed there. From there you'll also be able to take a schooner trip and cruise along the coast or take in some sport fishing (shark and marlin).
When it comes to beaches you won't be disappointed. Falesia beach is a vast, golden stretch of sand that is considered to be the best on the Algarve. It is overlooked by the stunning deep red cliffs. These cliffs provide some breathtaking views, especially at sunset.
The region as a whole is of great environmental and historical significance – the wetland surrounding the resort is a protected nature reserve, and the Cerro da Vila is one of the most important Roman sites in Portugal.
Golf on 6 different courses.
Lawn bowls.
Shooting.
Horse riding.
Vilamoura's nightlife is one of the liveliest on the Algarve. For those interested in gambling, there are casinos in Vilamoura and at nearby towns at which you can play American roulette, French roulette, Portuguese dice, Black Jack or slot machines. While you're there you can take in a glitzy cabaret show, hit a nightclub or relax at a film.
There is also a choice of lively football bars where Portuguese football memorabillia and signed t-shirts cover the walls.
If you like jazz, the venues offer quality live jazz concerts in a laid-back atmostphere. You'll also find clubs at which you can party till dawn – there's even a mega club that can accommodate up to 7 000 people on 5 dance floors
Your visit to this region will be incomplete unless you have tasted some of the local dishes. Being on the coast, the emphasis is on fish and shellfish but there are plenty of delicious meal dishes to choose from.
Throughout the Algarve you will find good value restaurants that offer a good choice of international cuisine cuisine, such as French, Indian, Chinese, Italian, Swiss of course, plenty of Portuguese restaurants.
There are also a huge choice of snack bars, cafe's and delectable ice cream parlours! Vilamoura Marina is a particularly good spot for a choice of restaurants and bars.
If you want to learn about the history and culture of the area, the ruins at Cerro da Vila offer an excellent place to start. Recent archaeological excavations have revealed Bronze Age graves. After that the Romans settled the area followed by Visigoth and Moorish colonies each of which has left an unmistakable trace on the site. A first-rate modern museum and historic Roman site rolled into one, it is an outstanding example of a 2nd-century villa complex, complete with sunken baths, salt tanks, a burial tower and brilliant blackand- white patterned mosaics. The adjacent museum houses a superb display of Roman, Visigoth and Moorish artefacts.
A short drive north of Vilamoura will lead you to Querena, a traditional Algarve village with its white-painted houses and a stunning 16th century church. The church has a unique Manueline doorway and the chapels have 18th century gilded vestals. While you are in Querena, it is worth visiting Fonte Benemola, a protected site which has a number of caves containing archaeological remains.
Another nearby site is the charming village of Almancil which has an interesting chapel and art gallery. The small church is well worth the trip with its baroque style exterior and impressive tiled entrance. The blue and white colour of the interior makes a striking impact and the church is considered one of the treasures of the south of Portugal.

What are accepted variances for bullseye loads for COL, crimp, powder charge? I'm seeing .1 grain of powder and up to .005 COL. Crimp seems to be consistent.
Re: What are acceptable variances?
My 700-X loads are probably +/- 0.15 gr (spread of .0.3) and hold the 10-ring okay.


This spelt flour is suitable for bread and pasta, and for many specifically wheat-free recipes. The grain is cleaned and stone-milled in a secure plansifter in order to remove any rough pieces, and separate the flour from waste elements.

BEIJING (NYTIMES) - Rising out of the farmlands of southern Beijing in a web of concrete, rebar and glass, one of the world's largest airports is preparing to open after just five years of construction - a striking contrast to the infrastructure travails of far richer places.
Just as impressive as its speed are the airport's broader goals. It is meant to shift the Chinese capital's centre of gravity away from its high-tech university district in the north towards its poorer southern suburbs - part of an even more ambitious plan to remake Beijing and its hinterland into a 212,379 sq km economic locomotive for northern China. And it will do so by relocating thousands of residents with few protests, at least so far.
Yet the airport also reflects a less glamorous side of China's rapid change: a reliance on the heavy hand of big infrastructure as a salve for deeper problems in politics and economics.
These intractable problems include an overbearing military, whose dominance of Chinese airspace hobbles existing airports, as well as a broad retreat from market-driven economic reforms, leading to a dependence on infrastructure investment to increase growth.
Scheduled to open in September next year, the Beijing Daxing International Airport will lift China's capital into the stratosphere of aviation superlatives.
The golden, starfish-shaped terminal designed by Iraqi-British star architect Zaha Hadid, who died in 2016, is billed as the world's largest at 700,000 sq m but promises short walking distances despite its size.
By 2025, the airport will be able to serve 72 million passengers a year. That, along with the existing Beijing Capital International Airport's annual capacity of 96 million passengers, would make Beijing one of the world's busiest city airport systems, rivalling for top spot against the 170 million carried by London's six airports, based on 2017 figures.
Ultimately, Daxing is expected to handle 100 million passengers a year.
One reason for the new airport is rapidly increasing passenger volumes, which rose in 2017 by nearly 13 per cent nationwide.
Beijing Daxing occupies 46.6 sq km, more than two-thirds the size of Manhattan, in southern Beijing and the adjacent province of Hebei. Obtaining this land was not a problem, because in China, all land is owned by the state.
Local media reported little about the relocation of more than 20,000 people. Besides clamping down on public discussion, the government is offering what residents say are generous packages. Residents say that on average, they are getting 50 sq m per person in living space, US$150,000 (S$206,000) per family in one-time compensation, and a monthly stipend of US$300 to cover basic living costs.

This week I'm hoping you'll give a listen to a recent podcast I did with Jonathan Vanhorn of Dentist Metrics.
I think you'll find a few pearls from the interview that you can implement in your practice on Monday morning.
Start by figuring out what you want your life to look like, THEN start designing your practice to support that.
Too many docs do it the other way around, and end up with the leftovers as their life. Life is too short for that!
I promise you it's possible to do. I've done it, and I'm watching doctor after doctor inside TLP do it as well.
Does it take some work to get things set up? Absolutely!
Is it worth it! 1000 times YES! I hope you enjoy this podcast! Just click on the link below!


Watch the feature about Human Henge which appeared on BBC Points West's evening program on Monday 27th March.
It includes interviews by Rhiannon Fitzgerald of BBC West with participants Mel and Simon. Rhiannon also interviews our Director Laura Drysdale who manages Human Henge, Professor Tim Darvill, a renowned authority on Stonehenge as a place of healing.
The interviews are set in the world famous historic landscape of Stonehenge with the magnificent Stone Circle as a backdrop, and film of Cameroonian musician Alphonse Touna playing the balafon at King Barrows, courtesy of the National Trust.

What is an Elemental blessing?
The elemental blessing was created as part of a multi faith ritual, it is the very basic pagan ritual still used today at open meetings and groups. It is designed so non-pagans can participate without fear of offending their own religious beliefs.
A somewhat vague term derived from the Latin word paganus. Pagan is a term which refers to a variety of different religions ranging from Wicca, to that of ancient Egypt and even Hinduism, among many others. Some Pagans are of no specific religion, but rather are eclectic. In general Pagan religions have more than one deity, or many gods, which are aspects of one (an idea similar to that of the Christian trinity). Another quite common feature of Pagan religions are that they tend to be nature oriented. Pagan can also be used as a derogatory word for any non-Judeo/Christian/Islamic religion.
Although it would be nice for all to be involved it is understandable not everyone would want to be involved so there is no need to explain, you can sit and watch from the outside, other activities may be available.
How long does an elemental blessing last?
Can I have a more involved participation?
Yes, there are 4 roles 3 still available "posh title -Keeper of the quarters servant of 'element' see 4 What happens during the blessing?
What happens during the blessing?
3 the group holds hands as Priest /ess chants over the group to create a sacred working space.
Priest /ess – How do you come?
Keeper – In perfect Love and Perfect trust.
Starting to the left hand everyone a symbol to keep, once back in front of Priest /ess hand back any remaining symbols the Priest /ess will then hand you a symbol and you move back to you place in the circle.
Then the next element come forward and repeats.
Everyone else completes the circle.
I call on AIR for speed.
The circle is now closed and a sacred space has been created inside a sacred circle. We are so close to the spring equinox or Ostara a day of balance and new beginnings and as a reminder of balance what begins must end.
And this is our final session together and we all are moving on to new things some of our paths will cross again but what we have shared will remain with us for all time.
"bring you the blessings of FIRE.
Each of us are connect by the air we share, the water we drink, the sun that shines on us and the ground we walk not just each other, but the land its history and its future.

Our final session as a group and the one session that made all that walking, singing of the piggy pig dog song, the wind and the rain worth it. Although this course had many highlights and created wonderful memories the unique experience of having access to the stone circle will remain with me and I will assume everyone else also.
The day started at silly o'clock being that we needed to be at Stonehenge for 7:30am as we had access to the stones circle from 8am till 9pm. We arrived at the education centre and grabbed a coffee and prepared ourselves with a nice harmonising mantra lead by Yvette.
We then jumped on the bus to the stones, Professor Tim Darvill was our guide he lead us to the Heal stone and removed the barrier, and let us on to the grass so we could see things that your average tourist does not. We could see where the old road was, the Stonehenge hole (Aubrey Hole). We then walked the remaining part of the avenue and into the stone circle.
The first impression I got as I walked between the stones and into the circle was how small it was inside. The tall stones tower above enclosing the space and shielding you from the weather its almost womb like.
In last weeks instalment The Penultimate Instalment we found out we had an infestation of pagans yes you know those peaceful people that worship the ground you walk on.
But enough giggles as well as writing blogs and poetry I am also a pagan priest and a few weeks back in discussion with Danny and Yvette I adapted a pagan blessing which was put to the group last week to see if they would like to take part. There was also an option for people to take an active part which they did. A copy of the blessings with notes is available here.
The basic premise of the blessing was to reinforce the unity of the group and share a common moment and connect to the healing aspects of the elements. Each element is given as a spoken blessing with a representational gift of the element. Normally these gifts would be a feather or incense, a lite candle, a sip of water or a shell and a crystal or stone. But adaptations needed to be made, due to what could be taken in to the circle so we had a feather for air, a disposable lighter with place and date on one side and the symbol for fire, Chinese symbol for fire and a good luck rune or Sigel for good luck or protection for fire, a swimming award from Chris for water and some blue stone from Yvette for earth. The nice part about the rite was that it took on a life of its own each person gave his or her own personal blessing as the main part went on.
It has been more than a few years since I have done a public rite, but the support and interest and acceptance from the group helped keep me focused and relaxed.
After the blessing we all went off and did our own things, some people made music, some sang, while others walked silently around the stones. No matter what peopled did they now have a unique happy memory.
Professor Tim Darvill was around to explain and answer questions on the stones and their history and many took up the chance to widen their knowledge and understanding of the archaeology.
As our time with the stones was coming to an end we all gathered and raised those ugly umbrellas from our time in Fargo woods (For a flash back We sang in woods and rain) and sang a few songs and left for the bus.
Many of the group decided to walk back and yes I was on the bus well there's a reason they provide a bus; it's a long way back to the education centre.
The final part of the session was an informal affair we had Alphonse on the Balafon dress in a bright Dashiki their where singing bowls and people milling about having polite conversations.
There was fruit and biscuits and bacon rolls, and vegetarian rolls the only thing missing was waiters carrying trays of champagne it became a real social affair interspersed with a gender battle of the piggy pig dog song.
As the session came to an end there were many hugs of friendship and many kind words of thanks for all involved.
Here's Rhiannon Fitzgerald of BBC Wiltshire with a beautiful piece about Human Henge, recorded during our 8th session at King Barrows Ridge. Broadcast today on the Breakfast Show.

Next week will be our final week and with all finales all the really good stuff happens. And yes we have a great ending planned and there is talk of future groups and future locations. There will also be a catch up session planned, a picnic for both groups to meet and share, an exhibition and few conferences as well as some more creative projects, a short story and a saga poem etc.
This week for myself and I will assume that I was not alone, today was tinged with a sense of sadness and regret. Projects like this one can add structure to a person's life and bring many benefits. Fridays at Stonehenge became a thing! a real thing with a life of it's own! and so next Friday nothing! it's back to the void. (BTW Final session is on Wednesday not Friday next week) Fridays will be melancholy days for the next few weeks but we have pictures to look at, music from Alphonse to listen to, and some wonderful memories to remind us that we did it! Not just Stonehenge and the group but we managed to push ourselves past the points of giving up and made it each week.
After settling down it was planning for next week's session and our time in the circle. Yes there were some rules to be informed of such as no climbing on stones, no eating or drinking etc and we went over a few things that have been planned for next week just a clue there will be bacon rolls and that's all I am sharing.
We then moved all the tables to one side and Alphonse set up 5 balafon and there were also a selection of drums and Yvette got us in a musical mood with a quick sing a long.
With the assistance of Alphonse we managed to bang out a beat then a tune we then all moved around and picked up a new instrument and started again. Although the music was very nice and very loud and I was enjoying myself, the problem with BPD pleasure can turn poisonous very quickly happy crumbles into confused thinking and wanting to pull your skin off and run away leading to anger and frustration and yes I got those feelings.
So I stepped outside to get some air do a bit of mindfulness but I forgot my coat and locked myself outside so I had to walk around to the main entrance and grab my coat .
I stood outside the main door wrapped up against the wind the music from the group was at a volume I could handle and I could see what was going on so I was happy.
After the music had stopped we moved the tables back and everyone wrote down their memories for each week, which will be used in part to build the saga poem and the short story, which we will hear, more of in future updates.
Will Alphonse's balafon along with the group sing raise the ancient dead? ..

But as with every week I give 100% or at least as much as I can, but this week the BBC wanted to film us. I would of love to have been strong enough to be filmed but paranoia, self-doubt, negative self-image all rose up like a choir and drowned out any logical thought.
But my personal philosophy is to find the light in the darkness, I am going to share with you my journey with the Human Henge project to King Barrow and that long assed walk and a day that ended doing something so normal it made the whole project a success for me.
On week one I met C who has happily picked me up each week and drove to the Human Henge and this week we where on time if not a little early.
After coffee we jumped on the bus and drove to King Barrow ridge. The king's barrows are graves from 4000-3000BC. They are situated on a prominent ridge to the east of Stonehenge. They include several round burial mounds (barrows) built in the Early Bronze Age and a Neolithic long barrow.
Normally I would walk around the barrows due to my COPD but I didn't this time I climbed to the top like everyone else. As we reached the top we could see below was a man playing what looked like a glockenspiel.
The sound filled the space and Yvette introduced her friend Alphonse from Cameroon playing the Balafon. We all gathered around to listen to Alphonse.
We joined hands and formed a circle and we moved "deosil" and "widdershins" we danced and sang, we spent time thinking of our history and our the history of the world and how each of us are connected to each other while the BBC watched on taking a few shots.
Then we walk the processional way AKA the Avenue. We started off from the King's Barrow across the field towards the Avenue. The horizon was obscured due to the mist but as it cleared or as we got closer the stones became clearer.
As we walked up the Avenue towards the Heel stone you could taste the magic and mystery of the stones in the air. Every time I see Stonehenge my soul lifts a little and I feel recharged.
Once everyone had caught up we walked to the bus stop and caught the bus back to the education centre for coffee and wind down.
It had been a really good Friday on the way home the sun was shining and I mention that I really fancied a pint and C agreed. So off to the pub we went, for a quick pint and a few games of pool. Doing something so normal can be very difficult for me; but not only did I manage it I enjoyed myself. So looking forward to next week.
Alphonse Daudet Touna talks about his music heritage and Hélélé, the band he set up in Cameroon and then continued in Bristol, UK.

Hi this week we were inside for most of our time. We met a lady from the National Trust.
Apparently they only have one ranger for the whole of Stonehenge so they are always looking for volunteers we may get an opportunity to meet him next week. We also met a lady who is part of the Restoration Trust they are part of the project that we are involved with. We met a gentleman today who took us down the road of the Neolithic. Also the person who would use the forge. He probably wouldn't have done the menial tasks and he would keep his skills secret. They would use clay to make pots and when it was put on a very high heat, copper would dribble down the sides. They then used it for making jewellery, knives, swords, etc.
They also used animals skins for shoes. Antlers were used as tools. We also saw a selection of animal skulls which were a lot more interesting than I first thought. Antlers were used a lot as they grow back every year.
Then for the fun part. We were able to try our hand at making pots like they would have made all those years ago. It was quite difficult as the clay cracked quite easy. We used no water and you had to be really gentle as the pot would crack a bit and you would just smooth the clay over. Then we used replica tools to put on decoration. It was a lot harder than we thought. We all managed to produce something. Not sure mine would have won any prizes.
After, we went outside, past the visitors centre and huts from last week. The gentleman had put up a tent. He used a big pot which had a type of face on it. He then used two bellows which were what a person would have used to keep the fire going. He was then able to put three pots at a time in the fire. They would need to be dried inside and out which he said would probably take him till approx five o'clock and he started about a quarter to one. He could only do three small pots at a time. He was also dressed as they would have been all those years ago.
It was an interesting morning with a lot of fun and singing.

Lentils are a fantastic source of nutrition that are cheap, easy to make and versatile. They've been food staples for thousands of years and enjoyed throughout human history. Lentils have been found in Egyptian tombs that date from 2400 BC. It may have been used as an aphrodisiac. They also thought that the lentil enlightened the minds of children, making them more cheerful and studious. The Egyptians are thought to have introduced the lentil to the Greeks and Romans.
Lentils are so simple to make. Simply sort, rinse and boil for fifteen to twenty minutes. There is no need to soak lentils. Storing lentils is also simple. They keep indefinitely in a cool, dry place. After long storage, the color may fade slightly, but the taste will not be noticeably altered. Lentils are PACKED with nutrients, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and folic acid. Lentils are a low calorie, low fat, and cholesterol free food. They are also inexpensive. Lentils are also an important source of iron. Eating lentils with foods rich in Vitamin C, such as tomatoes, green peppers, broccoli, and citrus fruits or juices, helps the body absorb iron more efficiently. Lentils are also protein rich. They lack only one protein, methionine. Adding grains, eggs, nuts, seeds, meat, dairy products, or egg will provide a complete protein.
In an effort to share some inspired ideas for using lentils, I'm including two of my favorite recipes featuring them here. The first is a pilaf featuring lentils and bulgur. It's quick and delicious. Consider serving it with roasted chicken. The second is a great meal featuring lentils and salmon. Enjoy!
Bring the first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Partially cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the lentils are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in the bulgur, salt, and spices. Cover; simmer until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes longer. Season with pepper. Discard the bay leaves. Serve topped with the almonds.
To make the mustard-herb butter, stir together all of the ingredients with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. The mustard-herb butter can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Soften it at room temperature before using (1 hour).
Bring the lentils, water, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the lentils.
While lentils cook, chop and wash the leeks. Cook the leeks in the butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the lentils with the reserved cooking liquid to the leeks along with 3 tablespoons of the mustard-herb butter and cook, stirring, until the lentils are heated through and the butter is melted. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and keep warm, covered. The lentils can be cooked (but not drained) 1 day ahead and chilled in the cooking liquid, covered (once cool).
While the leeks cook, sauté the salmon. Pat the salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total). Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides, then sauté the salmon, turning once, until it's golden and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total. Serve the salmon, topped with the remaining mustard-herb butter, over the lentils.

Oregon Pinot Noir: Expert's Choice
Laure Patry September 7, 2015
The region has taken off in the 50 years since its first modern-era plantings, with sustainability-minded producers making wines with identity, finds sommelier Laure Patry.
It all started in 1961 when Richard Sommer planted Oregon's first post-Prohibition vinifera grapes, including Pinot Noir, in the Umpqua Valley.
A few years later, in 1965, David Lett planted Pinot Noir at Eyrie Vineyards in the Willamette Valley, as the cooler climate there was better suited to this Burgandian grape variety.
The temperate climate and costal marine influence in Oregon is ideal for cool-climate grapes such as Pinot Noir, and more wineries started to spring up. By 1974, the region's wine producers recognised Oregon's need to import good cool-climate clones from Burgundy, among others.
See Laure's 18 top Oregon Pinot Noir wines:
Today, Oregon has more than 600 wineries and 900 vineyards. Most of the Pinot Noir vineyards are in the Willamette Valley, the remaining plantings in the Umpqua Valley and the Columbia Gorge.
The Willamette Valley contains six sub-AVAs: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity Hills on basaltic soils; and McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge and Yamhill-Carlton on marine sedimentary soils. This explains the different styles of Pinot Noir that are produced across the region.
Wines from the basaltic, volcanic soils are more aromatic, with red fruits, tea notes and softer tannins, while those from the marine soils tend to show more voluptuous black fruits, earthy notes, spices and more tannin.
It was encouraging to see a good selection of Oregon Pinot Noir on show at the Go West! trade tasting in London in March 2015, even though there were some producers missing. On the evidence of this tasting, and my recent experience of Oregon Pinot Noir, the rapid growth it has made as a wine region has not harmed it at all. Producers work with respect for the environment (in 2008, the Oregon wine board introduced the Oregon Certified Sustainable Wine programme), and are making wines with their own identity.
Laure Patry is executive head sommelier at Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social in London.

Where Can I Find Indestructible Kids' Shoes?
Deuce, our five-year-old, kills shoes. It's like he has shark teeth on his feet or something. He always scuffs the front of his shoes off, layers and layers that kid rips through until you can dang near see his socks!
Buying shoes for him at discount stores (like Walmart and Payless) is a waste of money because those shoes would be ruined in a month. I'm so not exaggerating. We've tried buying name brand shoes – Nike (which lasted okay, but the front still got sort of messed up) and Fila (we're trying them now, he's had them for about two weeks and aside from a little top layer scruffage they're holding up well).
What shoes do you buy for your active little ones? Which brand of shoes have stood the tests of time and abuse? Which brand can take a licking and last longer than a month? Let me know, leave a comment below!

Trius Therapeutics, the San Diego-based biotech company, has passed an important milestone in its quest to develop a more convenient, more effective antibiotic against deadly MRSA bacterial infections that people tend to get in the hospital.
Trius released results today from a study in which 188 patients with severe skin infections were randomly assigned to get a low, mid-range, or high dose of its experimental antibiotic, torezolid (TR-701). The study found the once-daily pill, given for five to seven days, helped 98 percent of patients on the lowest dose achieve what's considered a clinical cure. There were no clinical relapses at follow-up visits three to four weeks after treatment.
"The nature of such infections usually warrants use of an IV antibiotic, but the trial results indicate that oral torezolid successfully treated these severe infections quickly and effectively," said Joseph Surber, chief medical officer of Southwest Regional Research Group, and a clinical investigator on the study, in a company statement.
Biotech and pharmaceutical companies have been pushing hard for several years—without much success—to develop new antibiotics that can kill tough bugs like the MRSA pathogen that are becoming increasingly resistant to standard treatments. An estimated 19,000 people in the U.S. die from bacterial infections each year, more than die from HIV, Trius CEO Jeff Stein told me back in October. Two other companies trying to crack this market—South San Francisco-based Theravance, and Cambridge, MA-based Targanta Therapeutics—ran into various roadblocks and delays after applying to the FDA for market approval.
Trius's goal is to develop a drug from the same chemical family, but with a superior profile compared to Pfizer's linezolid (Zyvox), one of the fastest-growing antibiotics.
Antibiotics in this class are potent killers of drug-resistant bacteria, like MRSA. The Trius candidate appears to be more potent in animal tests than linezolid, meaning it can be taken at a much lower dose—which could offer fewer side effects and lower manufacturing costs. It also could be given once a day instead of twice a day, Stein has said. Both Pfizer's drug and Trius's can be taken as oral pills, but the added convenience of less-frequent dosing could be important, because antibiotic resistance thrives when patients fail to take all their required meds. Giving them a once-daily pill option may increase the odds that patients will stay in compliance with doctors' orders.
The Trius therapy was considered well-tolerated, and 92 percent of the side effects considered possibly drug-related were graded as mild, researchers said. No patients dropped out because of adverse events. The least number of side effects were reported on the lowest dose, of 200 milligrams, Trius said.
The trial results have given Trius enough information to pick the lowest dose, 200 milligrams once a day, for the next step in development, a Phase III pivotal clinical trial in patients with severe skin infections. The company plans to complete an early-stage trial of an intravenous form of the drug later this year, and to merge the IV and oral development programs in Phase III trials early next year, Trius said in a statement.
this is exciting news! i have battled MRSA for the past 9 years (and through numerous doctors who basically told me i was the problem!). i live in the san diego area and would be very interested in participating in any future trials of new treatments. thanks for keeping up the good fight.
I would like to be one of those people who get to take the antibiotic and give my feedback been fighting MRSA since 2007. It is so ugly and painful. Has made its way to my face and almost to my eyes. Have been on several anti. and intervene anti. keeps coming back. No insurance all expense out of pocket.
I was a practicing R.P.N for over 15 yrs at a private as well as a Govt nursing home.. The yr before MRSA ended my CAREER I was at my DR's almost every month with sores on my legs and a few other areas.. My Dr treated as a sweat gland infection for over a yr with antibiotics each time and some Bactroban creme…That was 2002-2003 the End of my career fighting and recieving my Canada pension early and disability.. I am 47 and don't have much of a life the sores are soooo Painful.., they turn into flesh eating then over to the pharmacy for $3000.00-5000.00 of vancomycin..these episodes happen 8-10x's a yr now I believe I should be included in trial as i will not leave the house very often as they are all over including my face scars everywhere.I honestly don't know how much more I can take.. Curious of the other 2 persons whom commented eg—age, how it was transmitted…PLEASE PLEASE Sincerely Susan Matthews The least you can do is RESPOND god I am begging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dans la mythologie grecque, Europe (en grec ancien : ) est une princesse phénicienne, fille d'Agénor, roi de Tyr, et de Téléphassa, et sœur notamment de Cadmos.

Étymologie
L'étymologie couramment admise de ce nom y voit un composé de , « large » et , « œil, vue ». La terre « à l'aspect large » constitue une vieille épithète de la Terre que l'on retrouve dans plusieurs traditions indo-européennes : « la large terre » en grec, « la large terre » ou simplement « la large » en sanskrit, et de même dans les langues germaniques. Europe serait ainsi l'une des figures de la déesse Terre, renouvelée. Pour Jean Haudry, ni cette héroïne, ni ses homonymes, ne personnifient une terre. Ce serait un qualificatif de la vache « au large regard » qui s'unit au « taureau » Zeus, le désignateur de la terre « où le regard porte au loin » provenant de la même racine.

Cette étymologie ne tient pas compte de l'origine phénicienne d'Europe, pour laquelle on a proposé une racine dans une langue sémitique. Ainsi, la première mention connue du mot proviendrait d'une stèle assyrienne, qui distingue les rivages de la mer Égée par deux mots phéniciens : Ereb, le « couchant », et Assou, le « levant ». L'origine des noms grecs Eurôpê et Asia se trouverait dans ces deux termes sémitiques par lesquels les marins phéniciens désignaient les rives opposées de la Grèce actuelle et de l'Anatolie. La mythologie grecque perpétuerait l'origine sémitique du mot, en en faisant le nom de la princesse phénicienne.

Néanmoins, cette étymologie sémitique est « à peine encore défendue » et cette proposition est généralement considérée comme improbable ou indéfendable. Martin Litchfield West fait ainsi observer que « phonologiquement, la correspondance entre le nom de l'Europe et toute forme de mot sémitique est très mauvaise ».

Mythe

Selon une version du mythe, Europe, fille d'Agénor, roi de Tyr, une ville de Phénicie (actuel Liban) fit un rêve. Le jour même, Zeus la rencontra sur une plage de Sidon, se métamorphosa en taureau blanc, afin de l'approcher sans l'apeurer et échapper à la jalousie de son épouse Héra. Imprudente, Europe s'approche de lui. Chevauchant l'animal, elle est enlevée sur l'île de Crète à Gortyne (ou au nord du Bosphore selon certaines versions). À Gortyne, sous un platane qui depuis lors est toujours vert, Europe s'accouple avec Zeus, sous forme humaine cette fois. De leur union naissent Minos, Rhadamanthe et Sarpédon qui s'exila en Anatolie, à Milet. Plus tard, Europe est donnée par Zeus comme épouse au roi de Crète Astérion.

Interprétations
Ce mythe garderait la mémoire des pillages menés par les Doriens sur les côtes de Phénicie qui pouvaient s'accompagner du rapt de femmes dans la Grèce préhellénique.

Pour Françoise Gange l'enlèvement et le viol d'Europe marqueraient le passage de l'ère de la Déesse mère à celui d'une toute-puissance masculine.

Représentations après l'Antiquité

L'enlèvement d'Europe a inspiré de nombreux artistes à travers les siècles : les peintres Paul Véronèse, le Titien (copié par Rubens), Rembrandt, Giambattista Tiepolo, les musiciens tel Darius Milhaud ou des sculpteurs comme Fernando Botero. Dans la représentation des artistes .

En littérature, Moschos, André Chénier, Rimbaud et d'autres poètes ont écrit des textes sur le thème du mythe d'Europe. Elle est la neuvième femme de renom dont l'histoire a été contée par l'auteur florentin Boccace dans son œuvre De mulieribus claris publiée en 1374.

Au cinéma, Europe est le personnage principal du film de Christophe Honoré intitulé Métamorphoses.

En astronomie, la constellation du Taureau fait référence à l'enlèvement d'Europe.

Depuis le 2 mai 2013, le visage d'Europe se trouve sur les billets de 5,  et , nouvelle édition. Le visage d'Europe choisi provient d'un vase antique en céramique du  avant notre ère qui fait partie de la collection du musée du Louvre à Paris. Europe est également représentée sur les pièces de cinquante centimes de livres chypriotes avant 2008 ainsi que sur les pièces grecques de deux euros.
