He joined Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic in early 2011, and was closely involved in the development of our flagship centre in Dubai.

There are various kinds of doctors that specialize in many different medical fields. Many times the specialization that a doctor chooses is driven by their passion for a certain field of medicine and they then embark on a career full of innovation and discovery with the objective to advance the specialty that they are in.
This innovation and discovery has been seen a great deal through the fertility doctor that is dedicated to helping women become pregnant and have children, which is something that would not have been possible for some women without the help of these types of doctors. These doctors truly are the last resort for some couples that have nearly given up hope of having children of their own after years of trying.
Each fertility doctor may have a preferred method of fertilization that they use in order to help women become pregnant. Some examples are IVF, egg donor, insemination, fertility medication, PCOS and many others. Sometimes, the method that is used is driven by the problems associated with each specific woman not being able to get pregnant. These doctors usually begin the process by discovering why a couple has been unable to get pregnant, if the reason is not already known, and then choose the best method of fertilization from there.
Becoming a fertility doctor can be a daunting process, and for those how enjoy working with people, this may be a great path for you to take. Many people are faced with infertility, and as a fertility doctor, you are going to be helping these couples have a shot at being a parent finally. Some couples are on their last hope as they have been trying for years to naturally have a child, and as a fertility doctor you need to be able to support these couples emotionally while helping them have their dream become a reality.
Begin by completing your medical degree. Taking medical classes is going to give you a broad spectrum of aspects such as anatomy, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, physiology, and also helps give you the exposure to medicine disciplines as you go through your required clinical. There are some elective courses that might give you more experience and knowledge in endocrinology as well as gynecology. These are going to help get you ready and prepared for further education.
You are going to need to complete an additional 4 year residency in gynecology as well as obstetrics. Your rotations are going to expose you to different types of patients and situations and how to care for women. You will also receive exposure to preconception overall health as well as postpartum care and delivery dilemmas or issues. You are going to be taught all you need to know about diagnosing a woman with certain health issues as well as how to screen then for cancer. You are going to also learn about certain gynecological issues some women face such as UTI"s and pelvic complications.
You are going to be required to pass a national exam in the state you plan on working in and you must pass both the written exam as well as an oral part. The written portion of this exam tests your knowledge on being a primary caregiver in this field and the oral portion tests your ability to identify and diagnose women with certain ailments or diseases.
You are going to have to complete a fellowship training which specializes in endocrinology as well as infertility. This is going to give you the extended knowledge you need to help with infertility issues as well as hormonal issues. For the most part, this aspect is going to last an average of 3 years and is going to feature clinical as through hormone clinics as well as fertility clinics. You are going to be given coursework and research projects to help test your knowledge.
In order to become a fertility doctor, there is a second exam that needs to be taken and passed before you are licensed to become a fertility doctor. This national exam also has an oral and a written part and both must be passed in order to become licensed. You are going to be tested on your knowledge of fertility issues. This is to ensure you are ready to work in these types of clinics and with couples who are faced with infertility o a daily basis.

She played Darla in Our Gang, except for her Our Gang debut, in which her character's name was "Cookie". She made her debut at age four in the 1935 film Our Gang Follies of 1936 and was soon given a role in The Bohemian Girl with Laurel and Hardy. From 1935 to 1941, she continued to play in Our Gang. She is well remembered for her coquettish character, typically the love interest of Alfalfa, Butch, or (occasionally) Waldo. One of her most memorable moments was singing "I'm in the Mood for Love" in The Pinch Singer.
Hood's final appearance Our Gang film was 1941's Wedding Worries.
Darla Hood then went solo with singing engagements in nightclubs and guest appearances on TV. She was a regular on The Ken Murray Show from 1950 to 1951. In 1955, she was a leading lady in the act of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. In 1957, Darla was a regular performer on The Merv Griffin Show for the American Broadcasting Network. Other credits that year include a hit record, "I Just Wanna Be Free."  and a duet with Johnny Desmond in the Sam Katzman movie "Calypso Heat Wave." Between 1959 and 1962 she recorded several singles for the small Ray Note and Acama labels.
Hood was married twice, first to insurance salesman Robert W. Decker (1949-1957), then to record-company executive Jose Granson (1957-1979). She and Granson had three children. Tommy "Butch" Bond mentioned that her marriage to Granson was difficult because he used a wheelchair following a stroke.
Hood was busy organizing the 1980 Little Rascals reunion for the Los Angeles Chapter of The Sons of the Desert when she underwent an appendectomy at Canoga Park Hospital, Canoga Park, California. After the procedure, she died suddenly of heart failure on June 13, 1979, at age 47. An autopsy disclosed that Hood had contracted acute hepatitis from a blood transfusion given during the operation, leading to her death.
The Our Gang community was stunned at Hood's unexpected death. Fellow Our Gang member Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas said, "I hate to hear it. It's a shock. She was an awfully nice person, a fine woman. We got along real good as kids." Thomas himself would die a little over a year later. During a lecture at Murray State University in 1985, George "Spanky" McFarland attributed her death to a broken heart.

Álvaro de Brée [pt], 1954.
Before he ascended the throne, Duarte always followed his father in the affairs of the kingdom. He was knighted in 1415 after the Portuguese capture of the city of Ceuta in North Africa, across from Gibraltar, in the Battle of Ceuta. He became king in 1433, when his father died of the plague.
As king, Duarte soon showed interest in building internal political consensus. During his short reign of five years, he called the Portuguese Cortes (the national assembly) no less than five times to discuss the political affairs of his kingdom. He also followed the politics of his father concerning the maritime exploration of Africa. He encouraged and financed his famous brother, Henry the Navigator, who initiated many expeditions on the west coast of Africa. An expedition of Gil Eanes in 1434 first rounded Cape Bojador on the northwestern coast of Africa, leading the way for further exploration southward along the African coast.
Miniature of King Edward, in the Genealogy of Manuel Pereira, 3rd Count of Feira (1534). Portuguese National Archives.
The colony at Ceuta rapidly became a drain on the Portuguese treasury, and it was realised that without the city of Tangier, possession of Ceuta was worthless. After Ceuta was captured by the Portuguese, the camel caravans that were part of the overland trade routes began to use Tangier as their new destination. This deprived Ceuta of the materials and goods that made it an attractive market and a vibrant trading locale, and it became an isolated community.
In 1437, Duarte's brothers Henry and Ferdinand persuaded him to launch an attack on the Marinid sultanate of Morocco. The expedition was not unanimously supported and was undertaken against the advice of the Pope. Infante Peter, Duke of Coimbra, and the Infante John were both against the initiative; they preferred to avoid conflict with the Marinid Sultan. Their instincts proved to be justified. The resulting Battle of Tangier, led by Henry, was a debacle. Failing to take the city in a series of assaults, the Portuguese siege camp was soon itself surrounded and starved into submission by a Moroccan relief army. In the resulting treaty, Henry promised to deliver Ceuta back to the Marinids in return for allowing the Portuguese army to depart unmolested. Duarte's youngest brother, Ferdinand, was handed over to the Marinids as a hostage for the final handover of the city.
The debacle at Tangier dominated Duarte's final year. Peter and John urged him to fulfill the treaty, yield Ceuta and secure Ferdinand's release, whereas Henry (who had signed the treaty) urged him to renege on it. Caught in indecision, Duarte assembled the Portuguese Cortes at Leiria in early 1438 for consultation. The Cortes refused to ratify the treaty, preferring to hang on to Ceuta and requesting that Duarte find some other means of obtaining Ferdinand's release.
Duarte died late that summer, in Tomar, of the plague, like his father and mother (and her mother) before him. Popular lore suggested he died of heartbreak over the fate of his hapless brother; Ferdinand would remain in captivity in Fez until his own death in 1443.
Duarte's premature death provoked a political crisis in Portugal. Leaving only a young son, Afonso, to inherit the throne, it was generally assumed that Duarte's brothers would take over the regency of the realm. But Duarte's will appointed his unpopular foreign wife, Eleanor of Aragon, as regent. A popular uprising followed, in which the burghers of the realm, assembled by John of Reguengos, acclaimed Peter of Coimbra as regent. But the nobles backed Eleanor's claim, and threatened civil war. The regency crisis was defused by a complicated and tense power-sharing arrangement between Eleanor and Peter.
Another less political side of Duarte's personality is related to culture. A reflective and scholarly infante, he wrote the treatises O Leal Conselheiro (The Loyal Counsellor) and Livro Da Ensinança De Bem Cavalgar Toda Sela ("Book of Teachings on Riding Well on Every Saddle") as well as several poems. He was in the process of revising the Portuguese law code when he died.
Duarte married Eleanor of Aragon, a daughter of Ferdinand I of Aragon and Eleanor of Alburquerque, in 1428.
Infante John October 1429 b. 14 August 1433 Prince of Portugal.
Infanta Philippa 27 November 1430 24 March 1439 Died young.
Infante Afonso 15 January 1432 28 August 1481 Who succeeded him as Afonso V, King of Portugal.
Infanta Maria 7 December 1432 8 December 1432 Died in infancy.
Infante Ferdinand 17 November 1433 18 September 1470 Duke of Viseu. He was declared heir to his brother Afonso V for two brief periods, and therefore used the style of Prince instead of Infante. He was the father of future king Manuel I.
Infanta Eleanor 18 September 1434 3 September 1467 Holy Roman Empress by marriage to Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor.
Infante Duarte 12 July 1435 12 July 1435 Died shortly after being born.
Infanta Catherine 26 November 1436 17 June 1463 She was betrothed to Charles IV of Navarre but he died before the marriage could take place. After his death, Catherine entered the Convent of Saint Claire and became a nun.
Infanta Joan 20 March 1439 13 June 1475 Queen of Castile by marriage to Henry IV of Castile.

Hillary Clinton Just Won the South Carolina Primary
Clinton won more than 80 percent of black voters.

Hillary Clinton won the South Carolina Democratic primary handily on Saturday, according to multiple news outlets, which called the race as soon as the polls closed. Just days before Super Tuesday, her win underscores what many pundits have been saying all along—despite her opponent Bernie Sanders' surprise success in early states, Clinton still holds critical sway among Southern black voters.
At the stroke of 7pm… pic.twitter.com/jCcI2LK8Nm
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) 28 February 2016
According to preliminary exit polls, more than 60 percent of South Carolina primary voters were black; an astounding 84 percent of them voted for Clinton. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have long been popular among black voters, while Sanders has struggled to make his message resonate in the state.
And we have full exit polls:
60% of electorate are women: Clinton with 74%
62% black: Clinton won with 84%
39% black women: Clinton 86%
— Dr. Michael Bitzer (@CatawbaPolitics) February 28, 2016
Clinton worked hard to consolidate her support in the lead-up to the primary, traveling to far-flung corners of the state and deploying Bill Clinton for good measure. Sanders, by contrast, appeared to be looking ahead to primaries in other states.
The real test for both campaigns comes Tuesday, when 11 states, American Samoa, and Democrats abroad will all vote on their choice for the Democratic nomination.

As we age, we tend to lose mobility due to various health issues that appear along the way, and that is why it is a good idea to understand how walkers for seniors actually work. Because our bones, muscles, and joints get weaker, it becomes more difficult for us to walk by ourselves without the help of certain mobility devices.
Most mobility aids have the role to assist with walking as there are many seniors who want to stay active even if their physical shape is not as good as it used to be. But, there are certain aspects that every elderly person should pay close attention to if they want to make sure that their walking program is not putting their health at risk.
Many fitness experts agree that walking is very good for your health and it helps anyone achieve the recommended levels of physical activity. So, if you want to stay in good shape and to live a long and happy life, the first step is to start a walking program. What is great about this type of exercise is that it is enjoyable, too.
Walking is believed to be the oldest form of exercise and it has become more and more popular among people of various ages. Besides being very relaxing, walking is also easy to start as it doesn't require you to be in tip-top physical condition. When you walk, it is pretty hard to hurt yourself which makes it a perfect physical activity for seniors.
Furthermore, walking will help you strengthen muscles all over your body and your feet will become healthier. The best part about this form of exercise is that it is suitable for anyone regardless of how good their physical shape is. Studies show that almost every cardiac rehabilitation program in America bases its exercise program on walking.
It is extremely important to warm up before you start every workout – a few simple stretches can help you avoid sore muscles. Even though walking focuses more on the muscles of the legs, it is equally important to stretch your shoulders, back, and arms, too. By doing this you will be able to enjoy your walk more and it will also prove to be more effective.
The best part about walking is that it helps you build stamina so that you can intensify your workouts only when you feel confident enough. If you have noticed that it has become easier for you to walk a few miles then you can try to walk more. Before making your activity more intense, you should consult a doctor to ensure that your walking program is according to your fitness level.
Since you are just starting your fitness program, you have to bear in mind that the proper equipment is necessary in order to avoid unwanted accidents. When we say proper equipment all we mean is comfortable clothes and shoes. Unlike other sports or physical activities, walking doesn't necessarily require you to have special clothing.
Whatever you enjoy wearing and it doesn't cause any type of discomfort will do. There are a few tricks that can make a world of difference in your comfort and one of them is the type of socks you are wearing. It is recommended to wear good, padded socks that will definitely help you reduce the risk of injuring your feet.
Also, you should pay attention to certain features when choosing the right shoes as they will improve your walking experience. Nowadays, you can find shoes that are specifically designed for walking so it is not hard to imagine that those are the ones that you should opt for. But, even these come in various styles and models.
What you need to look for is the uppers to be made of high-quality and breathable materials and among them, we can note the mesh fabric. Furthermore, it is a good idea to look for those that have some leather, too, because they will offer better protection to your feet. Also, they should have a comfortable padded heel collar to reduce slippage.
Additionally, the shoes should have a firm heel counter to provide proper support for the entire foot and leg. Choosing the right clothes is as important as choosing the right shoes. That is why you should always wear clothes that are loose because when you walk, the body's temperature elevates, and the last thing you want is to feel sticky.
The most important thing to do before starting any exercise program is to consult with your physician. After that, it is easy for you to set a time schedule that you can keep and set realistic goals that can be easily achieved. It is essential to understand your body and then create an exercise plan that will not put your health at risk.
Your body always sends you various signals when something is not as it should be, and that is why we recommend that you always pay attention to how you react to certain workouts. Sometimes you might feel eager to walk more, but if your body tells you to stop, you should listen to it.
Safety is your number one priority, and no matter how willing you are to intensify your workouts, we would advise you to start from the beginning just to be safe. There are certain walking programs that might work just fine for your friends or relatives, but they are not suitable for you. This means that you need to choose your physical activities according to your own necessities and physical endurance. You can start with walking 30 minutes a day (at least 150 minutes a week) because at this activity level your risk of heart disease is reduced.
In order to stay on track, it is a good idea to record your walks; it is up to you if you choose a certain mobile application or if you prefer to just write it down in a journal. The benefit of doing this is that you can keep track of your progress daily and you will be able to tell if you are ready to go to the next level.


While our middle school is an integral part of Tehiyah Day School as a whole, we also provide our middle-school students with an environment, curricula, and experiences suited specifically to them. Our three-year program encourages young people to challenge themselves both academically and personally. Maintaining rigorous academic standards, we also encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and to become forceful advocates for themselves in the world. Teachers act both as instructors and advisors and, in addition to our high academic expectations, the school also emphasizes the development of a sense of ethics and character. Maintaining an open line of communication among teachers, students, and parents is of utmost importance. It is our best hope not only that our students are prepared academically for the next stage in their education upon graduation, but that they will also carry with them fond memories of friends, laughter, learning, and a sense of their place in the world.
Beginning in middle school, students transition from having one main general studies teacher and Judaic studies teacher to moving from class to class throughout the seven-period day. The one exception to this pattern is that the English and history periods are combined into one flexible double period of humanities. The subjects are well-suited for integration, as the critical thinking skills required for the study of history are tied to the expressive language skills developed through reading and writing. In addition, the literature read is, in general, thematically related to the historical units studied, providing further context and scope for both subjects.
The mathematics program is designed to foster a positive mathematical disposition, to enable students to feel mathematically empowered, and to prepare them, both in skills and in confidence, for their high school mathematics studies. Middle school science is a laboratory-based curriculum that begins with an introduction to methods of scientific investigation, safe use of lab equipment, and accuracy and precision in scientific measurement. Within the scope of the science curriculum for each year, which includes developmentally appropriate topics in current health, students move from learning to follow a laboratory procedure to being able to ultimately formulate a hypothesis and design their own experiments.
Tehiyah is fortunate to be included in a select group of schools chosen to pilot the dynamic new Hebrew language curriculum, NETA. NETA's goal is to have students actively participate in Hebrew language and culture and is a program that makes the most of each student's potential for growth. It raises student achievement by providing a curriculum and materials that meet national second language instruction standards, by professionalizing the teaching of Hebrew, and by providing regular assessment.
In Judaic studies, students in middle school progress to a study of additional sections of the Hebrew Bible and chapters from the Prophets (Nevi'im) and the Writings (Ketuvim). Students continue their in-depth study of the Torah including close readings of text, commentaries and midrashim. They become familiar with the t'fillot of the evening service, the Torah service, and the Shabbat service. They also study Jewish history and culture from the Greek period of the Hasmoneans (Chashmona'im) to the present. The focus on Jewish values continues in middle school and sixth grade marks the beginning of a hands-on middle school community service program, which supports their study of mitzvot and middot.


Bruges, located about 62 miles west of Brussels, and thus much closer to the North Sea, is one of the most enchanting cities of Belgium. UNESCO declared the entire city a cultural heritage site in 2000. Bruges received its City Charter in 1128 – so it's been around a while. As with all cities it has had its ups and downs over the last 1000 years or so, being under control of French dukes, Spanish/Dutch masters and German/Austrian incursions. After 1965 the original medieval city experienced a renaissance. Restorations of residential and commercial structures, historic monuments, and churches generated a surge in tourism and economic activity in the ancient downtown area. International tourism has boomed, and new efforts resulted in Bruges being designated 'European Capital of Culture' in 2002. It attracts some eight million tourists annually but, according to our guide, we had arrived during a quiet time so there were not the crowds she usually encounters.
To start our tour, we gathered together with City Tours guide Jasmine and fellow tourists from Indonesia, South Korea and NYC. Seven of us were driven in a Mercedes van (with our guide) from Brussels to Bruges arriving around 11:00 or so to beautiful weather! It had been raining recently but the entire time we were on our tour it was lovely – some clouds but lots of sunshine and cooler temperatures.
Just starting out on our tour at the bridge over the canal.
First up was a walking tour across the Bridge over Lovers Lake and through the Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaerde – a community of pious women beginning in 1244 – now a priory of Benedictine nuns who live and work in the buildings.
Benedictine nuns live in the houses surrounding this area.
The entrance building was at one of the bridges and is dated 1776.
Here's the building dated 1776.
From there we walked along various cobblestone streets and found ourselves at the dock for a 30-minute boat tour of the central city canals aka, Little Venice.
The fountain, with the horse head, was specially made for the horses in Bruges who pull carriage rides.
The boat went through several of the canals while the guide pointed out historic buildings along the way.
Our guide pointing out something.
These buildings have a wood face since the 1920s- not typical for the area.
A selfie on the boat trip with my lovely wife.
It is clear there has been a lot of work done to preserve the area – evidence of cleaning, new paint and scaffolding activities were evident.
Buildings along the boat ride.
One more shot of that church tower.
We went under or over a number of bridges in this "little Venice".
Nice coloring of the buildings in the late afternoon sun.
One of the local landmarks is the Church of Our Lady with its tower of 379 feet and is the second tallest brickwork tower in the world.
Here is that bell tower they keep talking about.
The exterior of the City Hall with all its gilded decorations.
Our guide pointed out this "brick mountain" tower on the boat ride as well as several times during our tour. This church has a sculpture of the Madonna and Child created by Michelangelo around 1504 (we didn't go to see it however).
Our next stop was to walk through some of the shopping areas, visit the fish market and a quick visit to Church of the Holly Blood.
The Basilica of the Holy Blood where we saw the relic.
The Relic was on display for 2 hours each day.
allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders in the 12th century. The basilica in Burg Square consists of a lower and upper chapel. The lower chapel, dedicated to St Basil the Great, is a dark Romanesque structure that remains virtually unchanged. The venerated relic is in the upper chapel, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 16th century and renovated in the 19th century in Gothic Revival style.
Modern sculpture honoring the carriage horses of Bruges.
I have NO clue why I took this picture on the side of this van but who would expect a surfboard craftsman to be in Bruges?
Now it was time for lunch, a little shopping and a cold beverage.
The group along the way with our guide, Jasmine.
Our break was in the Market Square – a large area with a fountain in the center and lots of restaurants around.
Horse drawn carriages ready to go.
Proof we were at the Market Square in Bruges!
Buildings around the square included Stadhuis (City Hall and a 13th century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 272-foot tower with panoramic views.
Here's our group after our tour.
After lunch we headed back to our coach passing ,more interesting buildings, bridges and waterways. All in all a beautiful day to visit this historic town.
Good pictures and descriptions. Keep on going!

Solenis signs long-term lease for new HQ in Wilmington
Alex Vuocolo February 5, 2019 1 Comment Avenue North, Brandywine Investment Group II, Delle Donne & Associates, LLC, wilmington
Solenis, a global producer of specialty chemicals, has announced that it's signed a long-term agreement with Brandywine Investment Group II, LLC, an affiliate of Delle Donne & Associates, Inc, to lease a 90,000-square-foot office space in the new Avenue North complex in Wilmington.
The new space will serve as the company's global headquarters, replacing its current location on Beaver Valley Road. Located at the intersection of Concord Pike and Powder Mill Road in Wilmington, Avenue North was acquired by developer Ernest F. Delle Donne through an affiliated LLC in June 2017.
"Solenis is in a growth mode and we are working to retain, recruit and add employees to enhance our value proposition and better serve our customers," Solenis Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Philip M. Patterson, Jr. said. "Our roots are here in Delaware and we are excited about continuing to grow here."
Solenis worked with the Delaware Prosperity Partnership (DPP) over the last year. The company said DPP was crucial to the decision to relocate. Solenis received performance-based grants from the state of Delaware's Strategic Fund for job creation, job retention and capital expenditures.
Delle Donne & Associates, Inc. is currently planning to develop the site as an upscale, mixed-use campus combining office, commercial, residential and hotel uses. Upon its completion, Avenue North will contain approximately 2,000,000 square feet of leasable space.
"The Solenis headquarters will add to the synergy of the live-work-play environment created at Avenue North," said Gary M. Ciaffi, president of Delle Donne & Associates. "We are truly excited to integrate Solenis as a tenant within our project."
Specific terms of the lease were not disclosed, but Solenis will lease the entire Pavilion Building, formerly known as the Fairfax Office Pavilion, or FOP Building, which will be retrofitted to accommodate the company's long-term space needs.
Solenis expects to relocate to its new corporate headquarters sometime in the first quarter of 2020, initially with more than 200 employees. The $3 billion specialty chemical company employs over 5,200 professionals in 120 countries spanning five continents.
On January 31, 2019, Solenis and BASF completed a transaction to combine their paper and water chemicals businesses, which will operate under the Solenis brand.

Printmarker Terri Fridkin Exhibits "Convergence" at Muse Gallery
diptych Good Vibes, monotype, intaglio by Terri Fridkin
Local printmaker Terri Fridkin will be exhibiting "Convergence" at MUSE Gallery, 52 N. 2nd Street in Old City Philadelphia, October 4–29. The public is invited to a First Friday reception on October 6, 5–8pm. Also at MUSE, Fridkin will be participating in POST (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours) on Sunday, October 8, 12–6pm, and will host an Artist's Reception on October 22, 2:30–4:30pm.
Fridkin's hand-pulled prints are bold and subtle, simple and complex, static and mobile. The foundation of Fridkin's current works are converging shapes, lines and colors. The interdependent and interlocking relationships of these components alternately produce energy and synergy which generates structure to Fridkin's compositions. Discipline and instinct allow these outcomes that provide a sense of harmony to counteract the disorder in today's chaotic world.
Fridkin's work is a combination of various printmaking techniques, such as intaglio, relief, monotype and chine collé. Her visceral and mental journey is guided by inks, matrices, and papers, including artist-made paper. Her prints are further enhanced by incorporating paint, collage, pencil or pastel. Discovery, experimentation and invention are the converging forces that inspire Fridkin to create.
Terri Fridkin is best known for her dynamic, abstract and mixed media prints that embody intense color and graphic forms. A graduate of the design school at Drexel University, Fridkin lives and works in the Philadelphia area. After teaching art for several years, she left to pursue printmaking at art centers and studios in New York and Pennsylvania. Fridkin is also a monitor in the etching studio at Fleisher Art Memorial.
Fridkin has presented solo shows at Muse Gallery and Main Line Art Center. Selected juried and invitational exhibitions include Woodmere Art Museum, The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Hall, The Galleries at William Patterson University in NJ, Southern Printmaking Biennale VII International Exhibition at the University of North Georgia, and the Washington Printmakers Gallery in DC. Fridkin has won numerous awards and her work is in private and public collections. She is represented by Muse Gallery and is a member of the American Color Print Society, the Cheltenham Guild of Printmakers, and Star wheel Printers.

Center City District Restaurant Week Returns January 12 – January 24
Winter Fun Continues at Dilworth Park
Where to Eat, Drink & Be Merry During the Holidays in Philly


I couldn't believe that I chose the DAY UNC won the National Championship game to head to Birmingham for our home inspection. It was probably the only time in my life I've been by myself and turned on a sporting event. David and I were on the phone during the final seconds both listening/watching and it was fun to hear his account of our street's reactions. Come to think of it maybe it's better I didn't go or I would have been partying with the college kids. haha Last year everyone watched the game at our house since all of the restaurants and bars were packed, and it was a disappointing loss. So I was glad they captured the "W" this time around. (Sorry for ending the sentence with a preposition, Ama).
It was so fun getting to spend a few days at my sisters house this week. She helped me with my taxes and accompanied me to sushi. Since both of our husbands aren't sushi fans I'm planning on making that a weekly sister date.
After a long day of searching yesterday it was so fun to go out with some friends for dinner followed by a very swanky speakeasy. It reminded me that even though the home search has been a challenge, there are so many new and fun restaurants and places to try! And I am so grateful to know ANYONE in a new place. Thank goodness I joined the Junior League in Chapel Hill because that's how I met Gigi and Amy!
This morning I'm meeting the home inspector in an hour for a potential house in Birmingham and then heading back to Chapel Hill to be reunited with Nilla and DT. It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend and I can't wait to spend it with those two. Hope you have something fun planned and thank you so much for reading this blog!


Bellucci Guitars are the result of hundreds of hours of passionate work and dedication. It all started in Italy in 1968. Andres Segovia, Narciso Yepes and Abel Carlevaro were my guitar teachers and are the men responsible to make the seed of music germinate and grow in me with every passing year. My love for luthery was infused early in my life when my grandfather, Ettore Bellucci, gave me an old Neapolitan Mandolin as a gift when I was 7 years old. The Old instrument which I still keep in my studio was the instrument my grandfather used to serenade my grandmother Maria. The old Mandolin soon became my favorite toy and as a result, my parents bought me my first guitar and hired a top classical guitar teacher from Southern Italy to teach me the art of classical guitar playing. In the mid 70's my parents moved to Paraguay, South America, the homeland of Agustin Barrios Mangore, the greatest composer the classical guitar has ever known. Paraguay is a country with a long tradition in guitar construction that dates back to the Jesuit Reductions of the 15th Century. The match was one made in Heaven: on one hand my passion for the guitar, the deep knowledge of the classical repertoire and the thorough understanding of the specific demands of a professional player and on the other, the specialized skill of some of the finest woodworkers in the region with a skill that has been passing from one generation to the other for centuries. Add to this the legendary aura that "the land of Mangore" adds to each Bellucci creation and the proximity to some of the best sources of woods on the planet at some of the most competitive prices plus a relatively low cost of labor, and you will understand how it all conjured in making it possible for me to come up with a marvelous concert class guitar possessing unmatched beauty and a uniquely beautiful sound. I build classical guitars from a player's perspective and playability, sound and stunning beauty are always the main objectives to be attained. Concert guitars with these characteristics are sold anywhere between 8,000 and 30,000 US$ in the US and Europe. My concert guitars are 100% hand crafted in Asunción, Paraguay and are played in over 155 countries. Read more about Bellucci guitars amazing history.

Your recovery comes first
Motorcyclists are more vulnerable than others
Motorcycle accidents, just like car accidents, are scary and happen every day. Because motorcycle drivers have less protection shielding them, these types of accidents can quickly become extremely serious or fatal.
Statistics on California Motorcycle Accidents
According to the Los Angeles Times, motorcycle accidents in the U.S. in 2013 appear to have declined. However, the theory is that the lower rates aren't due to safer driving but worse riding conditions. The winter of 2012 was long and dry, driving motorcycle accident rates up.
The LA Times referenced a report conducted by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), which brought to light several facts about motorcycle accidents, including:
Motorcycle crash fatalities dropped 13% in California in 2013
29% of motorcyclists killed in crashes had a blood alcohol concentration above .08% (the legal limit for vehicle operation in California)
22% of motorcyclists killed in crashes did not have valid motorcycle licenses
There were tem times as many motorcyclist fatalities in states without universal helmet laws than in states with universal helmet laws
Many drivers choose not to wear helmets because they're uncomfortable or bulky. Some motorcycle drivers may make the claim that they know they're going to drive safely, but that doesn't account for other drivers who may be speeding, tired, or distracted.
We understand your pain
If a motorcycle accident injury has changed your life, Holland & Holland may have options for your recovery.
Safety and Precautions for Motorcycle Drivers
The Insurance Information Institute reported that 56 out of every 100,000 registered motorcycles were involved in a fatal crash. Because motorcycles are so much smaller than cars and trucks, accidents can be much more common and severe.
In 2014, 69.83 out of every 100,000 registered motorcycle drivers were involved in fatal accidents, compared to 14.11 out of every 100,000 registered truck drivers and 14.39 out of every 100,000 registered passenger cars. Motorcycle drivers have less protection surrounding them, and they can be more difficult for car drivers to notice on the road, which is why there are many additional safety precautions motorcycle drivers may want to consider.
Tips for a safer ride
Consumer Reports released ten motorcycle safety tips for new riders, including:
Shop for a bike that fits so that you can rest both of you feet flat on the ground when seated.
Invest in anti-lock brakes. Motorcycles with antilock brakes were 37% less likely to be involved in a fatal crash.
Attend a safety riding course that can teach you basic and advanced techniques, including evasive emergency maneuvers.
Wear a helmet. Motorcycle drivers who don't wear helmets are 40% more likely to suffer a fatal head injury than drivers who wear helmets.
Wear protective gear, including a leather jacket, gloves, and footwear that goes over the ankles.
Be on high alert. In 60% of collisions involving a car and a motorcycle, the car driver was found to be at fault.
Don't drive in bad weather, including rain, snow, and even strong winds. These can reduce visibility and give you less control.
Watch for hazards. Unlike cars, which can usually drive over sand, pebbles, and wet leaves without any issues, motorcycles can't always handle road hazards.
Take care of your motorcycle by checking your lights, horn, and directional signals before each ride.

New Bin Laden Sightings
There are new rumors of Bin Laden, and Bill Roggio has coverage at the Weekly Standard.
To add to the mix I will insert below excerpts from my posts last year on this:
8-20-06:
Potentially a Bin-Laden sighting from India, this could be more credible than some past false sightings just due to the pressure being exerted both sides of the Kashmir and in Afghanistan on Terror groups right now. There are also a couple of Special Task forces in the area from the US, and they have disappeared from the map and the news. Let's hope they are up to something real good.
Has Osama bin Laden been sighted? A report with the Government of India says Al-Qaeda's top leadership was recently spotted near Darkot, a Pakistani village near the border with Afghanistan's Wakhan corridor. Sources say the report was made less than a fortnight ago. Till now, Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri were thought to be in the rugged mountains of Pakistan, along Afghanistan's southeast border.
Update: it's not very likely that Bin Laden would be on the Afghan side of the border, that part of the Wakhan is tightly controlled by the Northern Alliance, and the warlords– unless he's paying a lot of gelt. He's still not well liked there even if he is paying them off, so much more likely to be on the Pakistan side if this is true. Here's a plot that works if you are trying to locate Darkot Pak.
08-24-06:
UPDATE: This from CNN, Bin Laden near Chitral, uptrail from Darkot and across alpine meadow?
According to a U.S. military intelligence official familiar with the hunt, bin Laden is likely hiding in an area called Chitral, in the far north of Pakistan, bounded by Afghanistan to the west and China to the north.
Contrary to popular belief, the official said, bin Laden most likely isn't living in a cave but in a house, possibly with a family and no more than two bodyguards.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the hunt, said the thinking that bin Laden is in Chitral is based in part on trees that are peculiar to that region that can be seen in a 2003 video of bin Laden walking in a mountainous region.
In addition, the official said, the conclusion that bin Laden is in Chitral is based on the length of time it takes for bin Laden's audiotapes to make their way to news outlets like Al-Jazeera when he comments on important events, such as the death of al Qaeda in Iraq leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It took three weeks for bin Laden's reaction to appear on the world's television screens.
Earlier I posted and retracted this report regarding Bin Laden, I am both updating and upgrading the report now that I remembered this earlier ADN Kronos Article that I joked about back in July, the timing is a week to a week and a half apart from the sighting reported by Hindustani Times near Darkot, Pakistan. Below you can see the July article, then my 8/20 writeup, which I retracted. Right now this appears to be more than just another false sighting.
Update: We have this report, that I had forgotten about from the hectic pace at work (you really would not want to be me right now.) So I am upgrading this again. From ADN Kronos in July, which matches aproximate timeframe of the Hindustani times article:
Islamabad, 21 July (AKI) – The Pakistani authorities on Thursday ordered the evacuation of a northern area of the country, near the border with China, of tourists and foreigners after receiving intelligence reports of the possible presence of Osama bin Laden in the area. According to Arab daily al-Hayat, the presence of the al-Qaeda leader was reported in the extreme north of Pakistan in an area that borders China and Afghanistan. For this reason hundreds of tourists – most of them European – were made to leave the Chalinji Pass and the Wakhan corridor and the security forces closed all access to the area.
The intelligence reports that had reached Islamabad indicated that bin Laden and his deputy Egyptian doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri – along with other leading figures of the al-Qaeda terror network – had decided to use the area bordering China as a secure refuge as it is not controlled by the US military.
Al-Hayat says the reports were confirmed by Western embassy sources in Islamabad, who indicated that the choice of sticking near the China border was because US military bombers would not attack that area for fear of hitting China.
UPDATE: The page has been taken down at Hindustan times, the link to this page is still up at Counter Terrorism Blog as well. I am going to have to consider this a false report from Hindustan Times, with a strange method of retraction. I'm going to have to start getting semi-professional and take screenies of my page links from now on.
Further Update: Right Truth also picked this story up 8/19, and has entire text of Hindustani times article. You can also find the article text on Sean Hannity's discussion board. National Terror alert Center also carried this.
Update: it's not very likely that Bin Laden would be on the Afghan side of the border, that part of the Wakhan is tightly controlled by the Northern Alliance, and the warlords — unless he's paying a lot of gelt. He's still not well-liked there even if he is paying them off, so much more likely to be on the Pakistan side if this is true.
If you are wondering about all the hedging here, go to google and examine the terrain yourself, note that white snow designates higher ground to get the right perspective except for the glaciers. This is a glacial cirque, and the village sits atop the moraine, which pretty much puts it at the end of a cul-de-sac. While it's probably damned hard to get at the location from any direction other than the road end, there's not much in the way of escape paths. Bin Laden would not be here unless he's grown way overconfident, or he's readying for a last stand.
Update 2: After more research, it appears that there are two ways in and out, and apparently this route has been used by military forces in the past. Continuing stories like this coming out of Pakistan of arrests of Al Qaeda members are making the move east into Kashmir more plausible.
Tour Picture of Darkot pass.
Here's a plot that works if you are trying to locate Darkot, Pakistan. Here's a pic from Google earth of Darkot, note that it's in the Pakistani controlled Kashmir, about 105 miles from Chitral Airport, and 60 or so from the city of Gilgit and that airport as a crow flies.

Home » boob-tube » Science Fiction » Buck Rogers
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was a sci-fi showed based on a radio show and movie from the 1930's. The TV show ran for two seasons on ABC, from 1979 to 1981, proceeded by a full featured film in 1979. The TV series starred Gil Gerard as William "Buck" Rogers and Erin Gray as Colonel Wilma Deering.
In this TV show, William "Buck" Rogers, a 1980's astronaut, is subjected to a freak space accident which forces him 500 years into the future (he was frozen in space in the 80's and thawed out in 2491). After nuclear war and invasion from the Draconians, the Earthlings press on, exploring space in search of lost earth colonies, and Buck is hired to protect the earth from the evil Princess Ardala (played by Pamela Hensley).
Much of the show was about Buck's attempts at fitting in to the 25th century. He was often assisted by his some times love interest, Colonel Deering (Gray), as well as his robot sidekick, Twiki, and a sentient computer thing called Theo that was often found around Twiki's neck.

Diary of a 9-5ver (Episode 4)- Uncovered
Caroline stooped by Amara's desk as she walked towards the coffee maker "Those two love birds aren't back from their short trip?" she hissed
"How's that my business?" Amara flared up
"Calm down now, don't get worked up over this project, everyone knows you are oga's pet" Caroline replied walking away from her desk
"That's your business" Amara stood to check the printer for paper
"I don't think those two have anything though" Tobi joined
"I don't think so too...." Caro agreed. She was back to her seat
"Even a blind man would notice Greg likes that girl" Cosmos added
"If na you nko, fresh oyibo like that? Ahhhhh" Tobi yelled
"She's pretty no doubt, but no man in his right sense would ask her out" Betty said
"Why?" Cosmos asked
"Because she's so uptight" Betty replied
"I agree ooo... she dey do as if na she fine pass...." Amara hissed
"Women! Always envying one another na una sabi o" Cosmos hissed
"Greg does not strike me as someone who's interested in women" Tobi added
"Meaning he's gay?" Betty asked
"I didn't say so o… he's just not ready for any relationship. He seems distant" Tobi replied
"You are right though" Betty added. She had given him green lights, on several occasions none of which he honored.
"Okay guys that's oga's jeep.... he's around" Caroline minimized the video player she had been using to watch the latest episode of Jennifer's diary
"But where are those two, they need to come and explain to oga about the missing files" Caro tiffed
"I'll submit mine" Tobi said
"Me too...." Amara stood with her files
Everyone turned to look at her..." I thought you said oga had asked you not to participate?" Betty asked
"Well, he changed his mind" she rolled her eyes
"hmmmmm...." Betty shook her head. Apparently their affair hadn't stopped his brain from functioning normally.
Eno and Greg walked in to find the atmosphere tense. They had seen Mr. Scott and Gbadamosi walk in from the side office they had been working in.
"Eno, I'll have hard copies printed for everyone present... just go in with those when he comes. Greg told her quietly.
Cosmos looked from one person to another. He had just today to tidy up his files before his leave began.
"wetin dey happen between these ones?" Amara asked rhetorically
Eno ignored every eye in the room. If Tobi had decided to steal her joy, he was in for a rude shock. She had changed the entire work and test ran every sample software illustrated on the web planner
"I want everyone and their presentations ready in two minutes" Mr. Gbadamosi barked
"No, Gbadamosi, I'd rather they all assemble at the conference room right away, I don't have time to waste the best presenter has to go for the meeting with us today." Scott replied
"Yes sir" Gbadamosi said leaving the room.
Eno staggered as she stood from her chair, she had done so much work in the last two hours her entire body craved for food...
"Here you go, Greg handed her the hard copies... see you in there"
"I wish you were presenting with me" she whispered
"I trust you'd do great.... it's your bid Eno, go kill it"
"Thank you" she mouthed as she walked into the conference room
Eno spent the next fifteen minutes explaining everything represented on paper. Mr. Scott was greatly pleased with the software demo.
The first two staff who had presented- Amara and Tobi didn't have a demo, besides their work seemed inconclusive. He needed a conclusive job, one that explained what both companies could gain from this venture.
"I like this one," Gbadamosi smiled. "Ms. Eno prepare for the meeting with OPR your work sounds more reasonable"
"Finally, a woman who knows her onus" Mr. Scott smiled. "It's been a wonderful presentation everyone. While I commend you all for your wonderful work, I still prefer that of Eno, with the software you and Greg created, I have no doubt we will win this bid
"She created it singlehandedly Scott," I only just ensured its proper running Greg replied
"hmmmm smart one" Mr. Scott said.
Everyone stepped out of the room relieved. Except Tobi, who felt more of disdain, why they would always pick Eno over anyone baffled him.
Amara looked at Greg uneasily, she had presented a replica of the work stolen from Eno, and how had those two done something better within 2 hours? She thought
She had followed her after work and upon finding the right chance, paid a young man to have her purse snatched.
She sat and rested her head on her desk, that way, no one would accuse her of anything
"We now know who the thief is right?" Eno whispered to Greg
"Well we do.... want to confront her?"
"ahh.... no, I'd save it for later,.. She owes me one" she smiled deviously
"Eno, I'm stepping out for lunch"
"Oh Greg wish I could, I need to prepare for the meeting"
"Oh it's okay"
Eno walked to her seat, she would spend the next thirty minutes brushing up her work and then rest for remaining thirty minutes before they gathered for the meeting. She was so glad Greg would be part of the entourage for the bid. The guy was like a backbone. He seemed too polished to be here earning the change they all were clamoring for. He rode the best car as a staff, came to work very early and was a really decent young man
"Hey Eno, I'd like to speak with you" Amara's voice jolted her.
"Yes, hi Amara," she replied without looking at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't know what to do... I'm so sorry"
"It's okay, I forgive you"
"What... just like that?"
"Forgive others so you'd be forgiven..." Eno smiled at her
She was pretty, very pretty and had a good brain in her head too... "Thank you Eno"
"Next time, just ask and I'll help with your work"
"You don't mind?"
"No...I don't. I'll be expecting my stolen stuff though."
"Thank you....I'll make sure to bring them please"
"Anytime" Eno's eyes were fixated on her desktop... she didn't even notice Amara return to her seat "Christ the king!" she muttered beneath her breath. She had googled Gregory Ikechukwu Hammer-Smith. he wasn't a staff of Midas touch, he owned Midas touch and several other IT firms across Africa, Mr. Scott and Gbadamosi were just figure heads.... no wonder, no wonder they accorded him so much respect. But why did they say Mr. Scott and his sister who lived in London owned this place?
Okay! Gregory had been married to Mr. Scott's sister... for 11 months, they had divorced as a result of irreconcilable differences--- the article also stated that, he had been mentally ill for the period of marriage, but had recovered completely after the divorce. A fan had commented congratulating him on returning to sanity and he replied "I hope to remain sane....marriage and relationships are totally insane."
She scrolled through his profile and was dumbfounded....no wonder, no wonder he never got attached to anyone. But who was this girl he was interested in that he wanted to get her attention?
"Hey, I brought you lunch" Greg's voice filtered through to her very occupied mind
"Uh?" she asked eyes widened
"Are you okay?" he was bewildered at her response
"Yes, yes...." she cleared her throat, "I'm just busy with the work for OPR"
"Can I still help?" he moved to see her desktop
"urrrrr... no!" she turned the screen away quickly
"Okay, you seem weird" he frowned
"Thanks for the food" she took the plate from him and smiled
"You welcome," he replied walking towards Mr. Scott's office and wondering why she acted like he was mentally unstable. Wasn't he though?

Amara the thieving thief! Now I have to be really careful with all these my work papers flying about.

So it was even Amara, see why it's totally inappropriate to accuse someone without proof? They both thought twas Tobi
