The vocabulary we have to talk about mental health, says holistic psychologist Ellie Cobb, PhD, is really our vocabulary about illness: treating it, preventing it, eliminating taboos around it. But talking about the mind as if it's a minefield, Cobb says, isn't helpful to people whose emotional ups and downs fall within a healthy range.
That's why Cobb advocates for a change in the way we navigate mental health. It involves getting clear on what's a pathological problem and what's a bad feeling. The difference between thinking "I'm feeling negative emotions and that's normal" and thinking "I'm feeling negative emotions and that means something is wrong with me," she says, is mindfulness.
(That said, if you have levels of stress, anxiety, or depression that are overwhelming and affecting your ability to function normally, it's important to seek clinical intervention.)
A Q&A with Ellie Cobb, PhD
What's limiting about how we think about mental health?
Psychologists and mental health professionals are typically trained to work with crises. That expertise is really important in situations where we are dealing with severe, acute issues. However, in my years working in the mental health field, I've realized that mental well-being is a broad spectrum, and defaulting to a crisis-oriented model isn't the best fit for every point.
Our current structure for mental health care is almost always based on a treatment model that addresses sickness; the go-tos are talk therapy and medication. Because we haven't always had accessible alternatives, we've come to stick every challenging emotion, every difficult feeling, and every uncomfortable mental health state under the umbrella of mental health issues.
In reality, a lot of feelings that we consider mental health issues—like occasional stress, anxiety, and sadness—are really part of the human experience. Instead of openly meeting and investigating those messages, we end up diagnosing and treating what's often just the range of human emotions. So when we talk about mental well-being, we need to create some distinction along this incredibly wide spectrum: What's a mental health issue that requires treatment and what's a feeling that can be met with curiosity and compassion?
To me, this is a really ripe time in our culture for the mental health system to expand. I say expand, not replace, because the systems of care that are currently in place are essential for those at certain points along the mental health spectrum. But we do require a shift in perspective. How can we take a system that focuses on a medical model of illness, diagnosis, and treatment and develop a structure of mental wellness that serves to enhance your health, wherever you fall on the spectrum?
What's the advantage of holistic mental health care?
Our health is not made up solely of distinct physical and mental components. We are one entity, where mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health are connected and multidirectionally influential. When we apply that perspective of interconnection, of wholeness, to the fields of psychology and mental health, we discover that we have unlimited access points for healing and thriving.
That's why I believe in a holistic approach to mental health: It allows us to expand upon how we think about mental and emotional well-being and to consider the many tools we have to cultivate healthy, fulfilling lives. Holistic psychology is not about the mind alone; it's about the mind as part of the entire human system.
And it's not just about treatment, and not even about prevention—which implies the point is to keep something bad at bay—but rather about this really positive, proactive, integrated approach of cultivating wellness. That's something that applies to most of us regularly, not just when we need more-intensive help.
How do you teach clients to approach strong and difficult emotions?
With self-compassion. It's usually not the feeling that is the most challenging; it's the critical, judgmental way we treat the feeling. If we can shift the way we treat our emotions and give ourselves permission to feel bad without pathologizing those feelings, we can completely change our relationship to them.
Stress and anxiety are feelings that everyone experiences, and while they're definitely unpleasant, they're the natural, biological response to perceived threats. Those feelings are how our brain has evolved to keep us alive. The brain detects a threat and lets us know that something is wrong and we need to make a change. But our world is stimulus-heavy, and our brain is sensitive, so if we get too many emails, it causes anxiety, and if we get in a fight with a loved one, it causes stress. Because we typically look at mental health with a pathologizing lens, those feelings can lead to the thought: Something is really, really wrong with me. I have anxiety.
That's why building awareness, acceptance, and compassion for yourself during times of stress is so helpful. So when you go through something stressful, it becomes instead: Look how hard my brain is working to protect me; I am experiencing feelings of anxiety. It's uncomfortable, and it's a human response.
What role can community play in mental wellness?
We are social beings. We thrive in relation to others and really need one another to be well. But health care—mental health care in particular—is generally considered an individualistic pursuit. We go to an appointment or a class or we develop a practice mostly on our own. What's often missing is this connective community piece.
So while I'm a believer in the individual pursuits—and I absolutely believe inner work lends itself to the ability to connect externally—it's important not to put our stake solely in individual practices. Being part of something bigger than ourselves is such a crucial aspect of our well-being: Cultivating relationships with other people, with a sense of purpose in life, with a greater power, and with nature and our environment is part of a greater framework of social and spiritual connection, and scientific research supports the direct benefits for mental wellness.
How can vulnerability and empathy be assets for mental well-being?
When we're feeling our worst is often when we feel the most alone—sometimes because it feels as if nobody could possibly relate to what we're feeling, and sometimes because we're afraid of how our feelings will make us look. The reality is this: We all feel the range of human emotion, including the worst parts. There's an opportunity to really connect with one another. Everyone is going to feel whatever way you are feeling at some point, and talking about difficult emotions can be hard, but it's when we're vulnerable with one another that we connect most meaningfully.
How do you use a positive approach to build good mental health habits?
Research shows that our brain is wired to search for reward. Bad habits—or old ways of operating, or just things we're used to—are usually associated with reward of some kind, even if that reward is just comfort. We stick to what we know because our brain registers our comfort zone and thinks that's rewarding, even if the habit is not the healthiest or best for us long-term.
That's why it's so difficult to break bad habits. It takes our brain way less time to create new behavior-reward connections than it does to undo an old circuit. So if we want to start treating our mental well-being with positivity and intentionally cultivating more mental wellness in our lives, we should start by thinking about what we want to create, not what we want to stop. Start by answering that question and then build techniques, habits, and ways of relating to yourself and others that fulfill that purpose. Over time, those behaviors start to become the norm for rewarding the brain. This shift to expand our mental wellness takes intentional practice and awareness of our experiences, acceptance of our range of feelings, compassion for human nature, and connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

Raw Fusion: Choke-Slammy Awards
2 Responses Forum Discussion
by Firefly on 13th December 2011
The 12th December 2011 3-hour "Slammy Awards" episode of Monday Night Raw starts with a video hyping the Slammy Awards, followed by Booker T making his way out onto the stage to present the "Tell Me I Did Not Just See That!" award with Hornswoggle, and the winner of the award is revealed to be "Good Ol' J.R" Jim Ross for his dancing.
Michael Cole cuts J.R's acceptance speech short by entering the ring and complaining about it, causing Booker T to defend Ross and issue a rap challenge that he believes that Ross would be able to win too.
Though both raps were bad and J.R's was the worst one of the two, the fans still voted for Jim Ross to win this challenge too, and he celebrated with Booker T and Hornswoggle by being talked into attempting a Spinaroonie.
Next, Mick Foley and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase present the "Holy %&@*#! Move Of The Year" award, with the winner being revealed as The Big Show and Mark Henry for the Superplex that made the ring collapse at Vengeance (click here for our Vengeance report).
The Big Show accepts the award and says that he's not visually spectacular, so he's going to head to the ring to be visually spectacular there instead. After a video recapping the events involving The Big Show and Mark Henry last week on SmackDown! (click here for our SmackDown! report), The Big Show takes on Wade Barrett.
Before the match takes place, Barrett talks about his match with Randy Orton at the TLC Pay-Per-View will involve him giving Orton the beating he deserves, and addressing The Big Show, he tells him that he better hope that he doesn't become the new World Heavyweight Champion, otherwise the "Barrett Barrage" will be coming for him next.
The match sees The Big Show get the victory as a result of a disqualification, when Barrett brings a steel chair into the ring. The chair does not get used however, as Show manages to punch it out of Barrett's grasp, and follows it up by pushing Barrett over the ropes and out of the ring with one hand.
Now, "Road Dogg" Jesse James presents the "Pipe Bomb Of The Year" award, which the recipient being revealed as CM Punk. Punk's acceptance speech involves him being accompanied by a mannequin, and he ends up accepting the award on behalf of John Laurinaitis instead after rolling footage which also includes a few clips of Laurinaitis' earlier in-ring career.
The "Divalicious Moment Of The Year" Slammy Award is presented by former WWE Women's Champion Lita, and the recipient is revealed to be Kelly Kelly. Beth Phoenix (accompanied by Natalya) interrupts Kelly's acceptance and snatches her award from her, only to get a slap and have the Slammy Award snatched back.
Next up, Santino Marella and The Bella Twins present the "OMG" Slammy Award, with the recipient being revealed as Triple H for his Tombstone Piledriver to The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII (27).
Triple H is present to accept his award, but he instead heads straight to the ring with a sledgehammer in his hand. He says that the "OMG" moment was not the Tombstone Piledriver, but instead when the match was over and The Undertaker was unable to leave the ring under his own power (click here for our WrestleMania XXVII report).
Turning his attention to Kevin Nash, he rolls the footage of Nash's attack on him two months ago, before suggesting that he should have finished the job as he is now back. Triple H says that on Sunday at TLC, he will grab the sledgehammer from above the ladder and use it on Kevin Nash again and again, and in doing so, all the lies and deception will be done, as he will show the world that he is right and Kevin Nash is "done".
David Otunga and Tony Atlas present the "Trending Star OF The Year" Slammy Award, with the four nominees competing in a Fatal Four-Way match before the result is revealed, as regardless of who wins the match, the first to be trending on Twitter will be declared the winner of the award.
The Fatal Four-Way match pits Daniel Bryan, Zack Ryder, Cody Rhodes, and Dolph Ziggler (accompanied by Vickie Guerrero) against each other, and sees Ziggler get the victory, when Ziggler hits Bryan with the Zig-Zag for the 3-count.
Afterwards, Jerry "The King" Lawler enters the ring and reveals that the winner of the Slammy Award is Zack Ryder, but Ryder does not have much time to celebrate as Ziggler quickly hits Ryder with a Zig-Zag and then celebrates with Ryder's award.
Now, Christian presents the "Game Changer Of The Year" Slammy Award, with the winners being revealed as The Rock and John Cena for their WrestleMania XXVIII (28) challenge. John Cena accepts the award and apologises for "Team Bring It" not bringing it, but says that it doesn't make the "game changing moment" anything less, and says that the real game changing moment will be at WrestleMania XXVIII (28), and that it will be the biggest event in the history of the WWE.
After a video recapping the contract signing for the Triple Threat TLC match for the WWE Championship at TLC from last week, Alberto Del Rio and The Miz go against Randy Orton and The Miz in a tag team match which sees Orton get taken out behind the referee's back by Wade Barrett, and The Miz get the victory for his team when he counters the GTS and hits CM Punk with the Skull-Crushing Finale for the 3-count.
Afterwards, Randy Orton heads off through the crowd in search of Wade Barrett, but The Miz and Alberto Del Rio attack CM Punk with the aid of a ladder, and state that they are going to make sure that Punk makes it to TLC, as one of them will be taking the WWE Championship away from him, and says that Punk's pipe bomb will blow up in his face.
After another video hyping the "resurrection" of Kane, Vickie Guerrero and Goldust present the "A-Lister Of The Year" Slammy Award, with the winner being revealed as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who thanks her fans and everyone else via a pre-recorded message and also wishes Zack Ryder luck for his match at TLC.
Next, Jinder Mahal is set to take on Sheamus in a match, but Mahal hypes himself up on his way to the ring so much that Sheamus just hits him with a Brogue Kick as soon as he enters it, and then leaves.
Rey Mysterio presents the "Superstar Of The Year" Slammy Award, and the recipient is revealed to be CM Punk. John Laurinaitis makes his way out onto the stage and accepts on behalf of CM Punk, as he says that Punk is not in a condition to be out there due to the events earlier on.
After a video recapping the match between Zack Ryder and Mark Henry last week on Raw that saw Cena interfere and help Ryder get the victory to earn his United States Championship match against Dolph Ziggler at TLC, Mark Henry is pitted against John Cena.
The match ends in an apparent no contest, when the match is interrupted and Kane makes his return wearing a welder's mask (with his music sounding like a combination of his "Man On Fire" theme and "Out Of The Fire" theme). Henry bails out of the ring (as does the referee), but Cena isn't so lucky as he turns around only to get chokeslammed by Kane, who then stands over the downed Cena and sets off his pyro.
Kane removes the welder's mask to reveal another mask underneath, and he stands tall in the ring as Raw goes off the air.

Free, open source: Games that use machine learning to boost autism attention spans
Intensive education is the best way of reducing autism symptoms in children, but it can be costly, which is why Turkish startup Otsimo decided that free, open-source games could really help.
By Federico Guerrini for Heat Sink | December 20, 2016 -- 11:00 GMT (03:00 PST) | Topic: Innovation
Otsimo provides free games for autistic children to help improve attention spans using machine learning and gamification.
Image: Otsimo
Autistic spectrum disorders, or ASDs, impose huge costs, both human and economic, on sufferers, their families, and the community.
The human toll, in terms of care and impaired relationships, is almost impossible to quantify. Looking at the US alone, the economic expenditure last year was estimated at about $268bn.
The exact causes of the pathology are still unknown, and there is no medical solution except for early and intensive education, which can at least reduce the symptoms.
"However, families often can't access or afford tailored education for their autistic children, due to the inadequacy of state funding, and the lack of private instructors and trained people," Turkish computer scientist and edtech entrepreneur Zafer Elcik tells ZDNet.
"Also, the average attention span of children with autism is around five to 15 minutes, which makes providing them with education a very difficult and painful process."
He knows what he's talking about: his younger brother has been diagnosed with ASD, and it was the desire to help him which ultimately led Elcik to launch Otsimo, a startup providing free games for autistic children, with the goal of addressing the problem of reduced attention spans through the use of gamification techniques.
"We started this business one year and a half ago. I realized my brother was interested in my smartphone, and I bought him an iPad. But I saw there were no specific games for autism. There are a few apps on the market, but they're very expensive at about $250," Elcik says.
Together with co-founder Sercan Değirmenci, they set about creating an open-source platform composed of two apps, one for the children and one for the family. At the moment, the child component contains 15 games on several topics, ranging from those encouraging social interaction to learning the alphabet.
The games, which have been developed with the help of educators, psychologists, and the largest autism foundation in Turkey, are very simple to avoid unnecessary distractions for the user.
"As these children have a sensory overload problem, we avoid, for instance, using too many colors in each game," Elcik says.
"Also, the games are designed to reward positive behavior, rather than stressing the mistakes. If the person playing makes too many errors, for instance, the program automatically lowers the difficulty level."
The app is designed for children from two to eight years of age, in the early phase of autism, to help them go to school and get a regular education.
How wearable devices are helping people with autism manage anxiety
A customisable wearable device developed by researchers at Lancaster University is helping adults with autism understand their anxieties.
For each gaming session, the app collects data and uses machine-learning techniques to fine-tune and improve the performance.
According to the startup, as the children play, their attention span undergoes a threefold increase, rising to between 45 and 50 minutes.
The other app allows the family to track the child's behavior and receive detailed monthly reports about improvements. Parents can also remotely control the child application and have full access to the educational material.
From the commercial point of view, Otsimo has adopted a freemium model. The games are completely free to play: reports and optimization features, combining the use of data mining and machine learning, come with a $15 monthly subscription system.
"We also sell the software to schools, charging $15 per student. It's enough for us. We could also share the anonymized data with researchers and make some revenue from there. We're not focusing on making money, anyway. We're focused on reaching as many students as possible. This is our KPI," Elcik says.
So far, the Otsimo app, which is available both in Turkish and in English, has some 1,000 active users in Turkey and a few dozen B2B customers.
To bootstrap, the startup has taken advantage of a $25,000 grant from the government, followed by a $50,000 seed investment from private investors belonging to the Galata Business Angels association.
The plan is now to expand the number of games available, with up to four new games created every month, and focus on the US market.
While the exact number is unknown, more than 3.5 million Americans and more than 604,000 in the UK are estimated to have autism, according to a 2014 study. Finding customers, unfortunately, should not be an issue.
The Otsimo open-source platform consists of two apps, one for the children and one for the family.

Health Worlds News
Health leaders need to use their newfound popularity to fight for greener healthcare
Health leaders have found themselves projected onto the public stage as never before. Professor Chris Whitty, the UK government's chief medical adviser, and Sir Patrick Vallance, its chief scientific adviser, have occupied the front pages and dominated the airwaves for months. They have become household names, better known than most ministers.
Anthony Fauci, the veteran director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is better known today, at home and abroad, than at any time in the 36 years he has held the post. Anders Tegnell, a previously unknown Swedish physician, has found himself lifted onto the world stage defending his country's unique approach to the pandemic as its state epidemiologist.
Their newfound fame provides an opportunity. Few people are as trusted as health and scientific leaders. As a doctor and surgeon myself, I know we are in a unique position to influence patients and staff. Now that we find ourselves at the centre of global efforts to tackle the virus, we need to extend our role to tackle the other great threat to our future—climate change.
No longer someone else's problem
There was a time when, for many working in healthcare, the climate crisis seemed far away. Now its impact is being seen in hospital and clinic waiting rooms every day, with worsening cardiovascular disease, increased spread of infectious disease, climate-induced migration and multiple effects on mental health, especially in young people.
At next month's virtual World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH), which I chair, a panel of international experts will argue that by making the issue of climate change clear through the lens of human health, we can achieve more for health and climate justice together than would be possible by working for either alone.
By 2050, Europe could see an additional 90,000 deaths from heatwaves, and more than a billion people worldwide will be unable to work safely outdoors during the hottest month of the year. At the same time, climate change will have put some 200 million additional people at risk of malaria, and conditions will favour the spread of dengue, Zika and other diseases.
The pandemic demonstrates why waiting for the worst to happen is not an option—because by then it will be too late. Our experience over the last six months has shown that health security can only be achieved by working together across professional, national and international boundaries.
But it has also shown how we can have a better future. While acknowledging the devastating health and financial consequences of the pandemic, the stimulus packages and recovery policies being developed around the world offer an opportunity to accelerate the creation of low-carbon societies in place of our current struggling models of economy and care.
Creating zero-carbon healthcare
A first step is to reduce healthcare's 4.4% share of global emissions. We need "climate-smart" healthcare that simultaneously seeks to make health systems greener, more resilient and higher quality by minimising waste, building energy self-sufficiency and switching resources from curative to preventive care.
In 2020, the US healthcare company Kaiser Permanente, which has 12 million members, became the first such operator of its size to achieve carbon neutral certification. The achievement is all the more remarkable given that hospitals are the second most energy-intensive buildings in the US.
Kaiser has done it through increased use of wind and solar power, intelligent lighting, investment in carbon offset projects, and the building of new facilities that are energy and water efficient. The company has now turned its attention to reducing emissions across its entire supply chain.
The NHS has also reduced emissions by an impressive 18.5% over the last decade, at a time when clinical activity increased by 27.5%. It's now aiming to become carbon neutral. Last January, chief executive Simon Stevens committed to setting a "practical, evidence-based and ambitious route map and date for the NHS to reach net zero".
A key part of this has been the "Greener NHS" campaign, which called for ideas on reducing emissions, generating nearly 600 entries from across the UK. Ideas now being taken forward range from electrifying NHS vehicles to using AI to make energy use across NHS facilities more efficient, to reducing emissions from inhalers and anaesthetics.

Home/Member News/FPL takes smart technology underground
Florida Chamber of Commerce Send an email April 19, 2021
For more than a dozen years, smart technology used on the traditional overhead energy grid has played a key role in Florida Power & Light Company's efforts to provide America's best energy value. Energy that is not just clean and the most reliable in the country – but also affordable.
With more than 5 million smart meters and over 155,000 intelligent devices installed along the grid since 2006, FPL has achieved a nearly 40% improvement in reliability during that time for its 5.6 million customers. And now, with a continued eye on the future, the company is taking these intelligent technologies in a whole new direction.
Downward. As in underground.
Just as FPL currently installs about 90% of its new power lines underground, it is deploying automated feeder switches and fault current indicators across key areas of the underground grid, strategically placing them where they can most efficiently help prevent outages for thousands of customers.
"It's been a very logical extension of smart technology," says Rick Teigland, FPL's grid automation manager, who's been involved with smart-device undergrounding since its beginnings in 2019. "These newer designs are now providing the same benefits to the underground system."
Fault current indicators identify faults on underground lines, greatly narrowing troubled areas so crews can more efficiently locate and fix problems; automated feeder switches are self-powered and more self-healing in nature, able to redistribute power and avoid customer outages when problems do occur, says Teigland.
Underground smart devices may actually prove to be more effective than overhead devices over the coming years and decades.
"Through the overhead system, repair crews can often physically see what the problem is, but with an underground system, although problems occur much less frequently, they can be harder to identify since the lines are buried," explains Robert Gaddis, FPL's general manager of reliability. "So these devices will likely be even more effective on an underground system where it's always been harder to locate the true problem."
The underground system itself will continue to expand, as well.
In addition to FPL's increased placements of new power lines beneath the surface, the company's Storm Secure Underground Pilot Program is helping to determine cost-effective ways to replace existing overhead lines with more reliable underground lines in select neighborhoods based on past hurricane outage performance, a history of vegetation-related interruptions and other reliability factors.
"Underground power lines perform better than overhead lines in good weather and bad weather," says Jerry Cook, FPL's senior director of project development, who oversees the undergrounding program. "Continuing to develop these smart underground devices will further enhance reliability."
All of which should result in a continued reduction of outages, shorter periods without power and a better overall experience for customers from an increasingly resilient and intuitive energy grid.
Which begs the ultimate question: What will that grid of tomorrow look like?
"Perhaps drastically different," Gaddis says. "Undergrounding the lines is what the future of our system is going to look like. We are always looking to innovate, and there's much more to come."

Michael Bay's Remake of The Birds Is Going to Suck Ass
Filed to:things that suck
In life, there are few things one can predict with accuracy, even after years of training. Just ask a financial analyst who works for 80 hours a week studying the intricacies of stock price movement only to finally manage a fund that consistently underperforms the market. Just ask a couple divorcing after 30 years of marriage. Just ask a NCAA tournament Cinderella team that makes it to the Final Four against all odds. But there is one thing, in this world of uncertainty, that can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy: a Michael Bay-produced remake of an Alfred Hitchcock movie is going to gargle goat balls.
Yes, it's happening, according to Variety. The director most famous for the Transformers franchise is graduating from updated live-action versions of glorified toy commercials from the early 80's to ruining treasured Hollywood cinematic achievements and pissing off Tippi Hedren. He won't be directing; that honor will go to Dutch filmmaker Diederik Van Rooijen. But his production company — which is also behind such cinematic farts as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror, and Friday the 13th remakes — will be calling the shots.
This is going to be so, so, so bad you guys. It's going to be worse than Birdemic, a film that I have seen in its entirety twice. And that movie is good-bad, like The Room. In case you aren't familiar with the glory that is Birdemic, here's the preview.
But there's a difference between good-bad and just plain bad. And fucking with Hitchcock is just... bad-bad.
Alfred did an ok job, I GUESS, but what this taut thriller really needs is more explosions and close ups of white lady butts. Think 2 Fast 2 Furious meets Wild Things meets just 10 minutes of shit blowing up.
The star of Hitchcock's original version of The Birds hasn't commented on the reboot yet, but, as the eagle-eyed Jean Trinh at LAist pointed out, Tippi Hedren was asked about it several years ago, and she had some top notch 'tude in response to the suggestion.
Why would you do that? Why?' I mean, can't we find new stories, new things to do?
Why indeed, Tippi. We still lack a movie starring a compelling female super hero and we're letting Michael Bay remake Hitchcock? This shit has gone well beyond ridiculous.

'Best of' lists should often be taken with a grain of salt, more often than not they are just lists complied by one person working for a newspaper or portal using nothing else but their own subjective opinions. Croatia has featured in countless 'best of' lists already this year and now can add another one to their list.
Popular Australian portal In The Mix have compiled a list of '25 Clubs To Discover Before You Die', with one Croatian club making the cut. At number 8 is the popular Papaya club, located on the island of Pag in the northern Adriatic.
"We've harped on before about how Croatia is quickly establishing itself as Europe's new partying mecca, and the country's clubs are sure living up to that reputation. Papaya, situated the island of Pag's Zcre beach, has long had a reputation as Croatia's best club. So what's the drawcard? On top of the Eastern Europe-standard cheap drinks and near-uniformly attractive punters, Papaya boasts a postcard-perfect setting – you just have to travel a bit to get there," said the portal, before adding.
"Zcre beach is only five minutes from the town of Novalja, but it's 80 km to the bigger city of Zadar. In high season, accommodation in Novalja is best booked in advance, but you can take advantage of the nightly shuttle bus back to the centre of town when things wind up at around the 6am mark or (if you're lucky) bunk with a local.Then there's the infamous Hideout pool parties. Free for Hideout Festival ticket holders, the Papaya-hosted daily pool parties run from 2-8pm, making them the perfect warm-up to the night's activities. For 2013, the pool party line-ups boast the likes of Julio Bashmore, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Chase & Status and go down from July 3-5: well worth planning your trip around".

Wait … What?
Eight Facts About the 2019 Freshman Class
Nadia Murad is not giving up. The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize recipient spoke at Creighton in September during a campus visit sponsored by Creighton's Global Scholars Program.
It might seem sensible, she said, for the Yazidi people of northern Iraq to accept their fate as victims of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria who, beginning in 2014, visited genocidal violence against her people and their ancient faith.
People might say the best option, after seeing brothers and fathers murdered and mothers and sisters captured into slavery, would be to begin life anew elsewhere, she said.
But that, Murad said, would grant ISIS a victory.
"When ISIS came, they came to eradicate Yazidis from that region, they came to dehumanize us and to say that 'you will not be able to exist here,'" she said. "That's why we are fighting, because we want to ensure that the ISIS goal does not get accomplished. We want to make sure that we are able to maintain our homeland, our culture, our religion."
Murad addressed the Creighton gathering as part of her ongoing effort to build global awareness about the plight of the Yazidis in the wake of ISIS terror and to encourage the world to assist those who wish to return home and rebuild their society.
Creighton President the Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD, in introducing Murad, told part of her story, a story that has captured the attention of world leaders, including Pope Francis. Her creation of Nadia's Initiative, which advocates for victims of sexual violence and seeks to draw attention to the plight of the Yazidis, earned her the Nobel Prize.
"On August 15 of 2014, at the age of 19, Nadia was captured by ISIS troops during a raid on her village," Fr. Hendrickson said.
"More than 600 Yazidi men were murdered, including six of Nadia's brothers and stepbrothers. Some 500 women were captured and condemned to slavery and sexual abuse. Three months later, Nadia escaped and made her way to a refugee camp and from there to Germany, where she now resides."
The Yazidi people of northern Iraq, an ethno-religious minority that practice a religion distinct from both Islam and Christianity, have been scattered around their region and the world in light of ISIS persecution, Murad said, and she urged the nations of the world to help them reclaim their rural, farming culture.
"I hope that we can mobilize good against evil," she said.


In 2006 there were a total of 2,525 complaints to the Better Business Bureau in the area of Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington. The complaints in the article where broken down into the following groups: This is a sharp increase in complaints, especially since dating services have been established since well before 2005. I think it has a lot to do with the rise of niche dating sites.
These types of sites are a lot smaller than the popular dating services and tend to be run on a shoe string budget.
For this reason some niche dating site owners may be making exaggerated marketing claims on their site to try and lure in paying members.
It is also pretty easy for any website to make itself appear a lot larger than it is, to trick people into a paying membership.
If we take a look at the numbers again 2,525 complaints are not a whole lot when you consider it has been estimated that between 30 and 40 million Americans have logged into a dating service in 2007.So let's assume a lower number of 25 million Americans who used a dating site in the year 2006.Now the question is what percentage of the population does Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington make up for in the United States.It's not large, so let's be conservative and say 3%.Now, 3% of 25 million Americans is 750,000 singles.When you measure this number against the 2,525 complaints, you get less than 0.4% of singles using dating sites actually complain to the Better Business Bureau.This is a very, very, very small number of complaints.So in a way, this article makes it seem that there are a large number of complaints against dating sites by just comparing the number of complaints with last year and not taking the total number of complaints and the actual number of singles using dating services.So what do my numbers not take into account (you are probably asking yourself)?Well, obviously not everyone will take the time to complain to the BBB.Also, not all dating services belong to the BBB, so complaints would not be filed for them. I'm not totally sure but, after looking at other industries and companies in the BBB database and looking at the complaints, I feel online dating sites as a whole don't have any more complaints than any other industry on the internet.

CMS Finalizes Changes to the Future of Physician Reimbursement with the Quality Payment Program [Ober|Kaler]
Payment Matters
CMS released the Final Rule with comment period delineating a portion of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) known as the Quality Payment Program (QPP) on October 14, 2016, with the official Federal Register version to be released on November 4, 2016. With the introduction of the QPP Proposed Rule earlier this year, CMS spurred a flurry of feedback and concerns from various stakeholders, especially those providers in small, independent practices. CMS received approximately 4,000 comments on its Proposed Rule, and, as a result, CMS introduced several notable changes in the Final Rule and launched a website to educate people about the QPP. One significant change in the Final Rule is that providers can pick alternative options for participation instead of full participation during the first performance period, which begins on January 1, 2017.
Prior to MACRA, CMS used a complex statutory formula, called the Sustainable Growth Rate, in an attempt to lower overall physician reimbursement from the Medicare Part B Trust Fund. The QPP supersedes the annual threat of reduced physician reimbursement posed by the Sustainable Growth Rate. Now, under the QPP, CMS will use a complex system of quality measures and combine previously distinct quality reporting programs under one program. As explained in our prior updates here and here, physicians, physician practice groups, non-physician practitioners, and other health care industry stakeholders will need to understand QPP and its two tracks: the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs). An in-depth resource for industry stakeholders on the QPP is forthcoming from the Ober|Kaler team. At this time, a high-level summary of both tracks are included below.
The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System
Under MIPS, CMS consolidated a variety of reporting systems, including the Physician Quality Reporting System, the Value-Based Payment Modifier, and the Medicare Electronic Health Record incentive program. MIPS will apply only to MIPS Eligible Clinicians (ECs), comprised of:
Physician Assistants,
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists,
Nurse Practitioners,
Clinical Nurse Specialists, and
Groups that include such professionals.
CMS will evaluate ECs based on four performance categories: quality, resource use (cost), clinical practice improvement, and meaningful use of certified electronic health records technology (CEHRT). CMS ascribes different weights to each performance category, and CMS can change these weights over time.
CMS begins collecting MIPS scores on January 1, 2017, and CMS will use those scores to provide payment adjustments to ECs' Medicare payments beginning in 2019. CMS will provide payment increases and decreases to ECs of up to 4% in 2019. That maximum percentage will increase annually from 4% until it reaches 9% in 2022, and it is unknown whether the maximum percentage will increase in subsequent years after 2022.
Advanced Alternative Payment Models
CMS created a second track for providers who are participating in certain APMs that meet additional QPP-imposed requirements, called Advanced APMs. Providers who receive 25% of Medicare payments or see 20% of their Medicare patients through an Advanced APM could qualify for incentive payments and be exempt from the MIPS criteria discussed above. Incentive payments will take the form of a 5% increase in Medicare reimbursement beginning in 2019 and are in addition to the incentives built-in to the APM. CMS has currently announced the following Advanced APMs:
Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+),
Medicare Shared Savings Program – Tracks 2 and 3,
Next Generation Accountable Care Organization Model,
Comprehensive ESRD Care Model (accountable care model for large dialysis organizations), and
Oncology Care Model Two-Sided Risk Arrangement.
CMS also introduced in the Final Rule a new Medicare Accountable Care Organization (ACO), called the ACO Track 1+ model. CMS hints that the Track 1+ model will qualify as an Advanced APM and will include lower risk levels for participation in contrast to its Track 1 counterpart. Further details on the ACO Track 1+ model is anticipated from CMS. Additionally, CMS plans to expedite the development of APMs in general so that providers have more options for potential participation in the Advanced APM track of the QPP.
Ober|Kaler's Comments
The Final Rule makes it clear that the QPP could impact the reimbursement of every physician and non-physician practitioner. Although Medicare's Physician Fee Schedule remains unchanged, CMS is subjecting providers, via the QPP, to risk-adjusted payments by tying those payments to quality measures. Whether participating in MIPS or an Advanced APM, physicians can expect the QPP to add complexity in this new era of billing, collecting, and understanding reimbursement.
The Final Rule also allows for a transitional approach for participation. With 2017 as a transition year, physicians, non-physician practitioners, and other health care industry stakeholders should take advantage of this transition by evaluating the QPP's requirements to determine the impact of future payment adjustments, which begin in 2019, against the investment in possible options to maximize reimbursement in such a program.
The percentage of providers subject to risk-adjusted reimbursement will continue to grow. For those providers willing to take on increased financial risk under the QPP, they should consider the Advanced APM track that allows for a potential of a 5% increase in Medicare reimbursement. Providers can monitor the CMS Innovation Center's website to find out the latest information on new APMs, including how to participate.
Physicians, non-physician practitioners, and other stakeholders should consider the economic and legal ramifications of participating in MIPs, APMs, and Advanced APMs. To assist in this, Ober|Kaler will provide in-depth resources through our QPP Perspective Series, which will be a series of articles aimed towards the individual stakeholders impacted by the QPP that will be rolled out in the near future.

The Nexus 2000 as we all know gets its intelligence from its parent switch, i.e. Nexus 7000 or 5000. The Nexus 2000 for the most part is just a dumb device, otherwise known as a Fabric Extender (FEX). It may be a surprise for some, but even communication between two ports on the same fabric extender goes like this: FEX Source Port – Parent Switch – FEX Destination port. The same holds true for the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect (6100 and 6200 series) and the local FEX that resides in a UCS Blade Enclosure.
After having a recent conversation with Cisco and a financial customer around how L2 multicast works between a UCS 6120 and a FEX, it actually uncovered something interesting with regards to how this multicast flows.
When looking at a multicast stream that has N destinations in the same blade enclosure (Cisco UCS B-Series), a few of us were thinking there would be N streams sent from the fabric interconnect to the actual FEX or blade enclosure. But, when thinking about the same example from the point of view of a Nexus 5K/2K, that would be utter non-sense – it would be the most inefficient way to distribute multicast in any data center fabric design. I think it was just the "blade" + "FEX" that was causing some confusion because the FEX is just a dumb device, right?
Well, let's be honest, it is. A fabric extender is nothing, nada, zilch without its parent switch, but there is *some* intelligence when it comes to multicast replication. One stream would be sent from the parent switch to the FEX (2248, etc.) and the FEX would then replicate the packet out to all required ports, just like a L2 switch running IGMP snooping.
Here is a Cisco slide (source: Cisco LIVE 2011) that depicts the Nexus 2000 multicast forwarding architecture – this should clear up any concern one may have around multicast in a FEX architecture. The same holds true for UCS designs as well.
thx for nice update, is it same principal used for broadcast traffic so N5k just only single stream and N2k replicate into ports?

Home Technology This leaked render could the purple variant of Samsung Galaxy Note 9
This leaked render could the purple variant of Samsung Galaxy Note 9
At this point, much has been known about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9. From the S Pen's Bluetooth feature to the first official look of the model, there has been many leaks and reports around. In fact, there is a leaked unboxing video of the phone going viral. We have also heard that Note 9 will reportedly have five color variants, namely Black, Gray, Purple, Blue, and Brown. Speaking of which, recently a NieuweMobiel.NL report has showcased a render that is being assumed as the Lilac Purple color of the upcoming flagship.
Not to mention, the Lilac Purple variant is now not unknown to Samsung Galaxy series as such, a few months back, the South Korean giant released the Galaxy S9/S9+ having the same purple color. Furthermore, since these variants performed well in the market, so it seems likely for the company to bring more models with this shade.
Also, the apparent date on the home screen of the render complies with the expected launch date of the phablet – August 24.
For more insight, Shehryar has discussed the possible specs of the device that go like:
"The Note 9 has a 6.3-inch Quad HD+ super AMOLED display, which is squared down to 6.2-inch if you discard the curved edges. The phone's back is confirmed to have a horizontal island housing a dual-lens camera setup and a flash. Below the camera comes the fingerprint sensor, thus confirming rumors that the Note 9's fingerprint sensor will be placed below the camera setup."
"The back camera setup boasts two lenses with a resolution of 12 MP each."
"The front camera has an 8 MP lens with autofocus support."
"The Note 9 is IP68 certified, meaning that it can withhold its life underwater for more than 30 minutes."
"In the performance realm, the Note 9 has 6 GB RAM and in this particular variant (considering the box has a T-Mobile sticker), a Snapdragon 845 chipset is likely to be used."
However, it is important to note that no color variant has been officially confirmed by Samsung and that the firm has yet to unveil the actual colors of the Galaxy Note 9 which will reportedly be done on August 9 in New York City.
Would you like to have this color variant? Let us know down in the comments. For more news on technology, keep following TechJuice.

Judge rules in favor of Trump administration in California federal lands case
By CAITLIN OPRYSKO
The Trump administration scored a legal victory on Thursday when a federal judge in California blocked a state law that sought to limit the transfer of federal lands.
The California legislature passed Senate Bill 50, which would give the California State Lands Commission the first right of refusal over government proposals to sell federal land, in 2017. Environmentalists encouraged its adoption to allay fears that the Trump administration would sell large swaths of federal land to be used for drilling, mining or real estate development.
But the Justice Department sued the state in April, with federal officials claiming that the law already slowed down a number of planned transfers.
In its ruling handed down Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, Judge William Shubb said the California law violated the Constitution because it interferes with the federal government's right to regulate the sale of federal property.
California Playbook newsletter
Our must-read briefing on politics and government in the Golden State.
"SB 50 may not expressly name the federal government as its intended object of regulation, but that does not mean the law does not directly regulate the United States," the ruling reads.
Shubb took issue with California's argument that Senate Bill 50 was necessary to protect "unique" or "sensitive" lands, writing in his ruling that the law does not, "for example, enumerate a set of characteristics associated with 'sensitive' or 'unique' lands and then subject some federal lands to a right of first refusal because they meet the relevant statutory definition of 'uniqueness.'"
"Rather, SB 50 uncritically uses federal administrative and institutional categories to target the federal government and those with whom it deals for regulation."
The lawsuit is the latest in a legal back and forth between the Trump administration and deep-blue California, which have filed lawsuits against one another over everything from so-called sanctuary city policies to rolling back protections for birth control over Obamacare.
In a statement, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said: "The court's ruling is a firm rejection of California's assertion that, by legislation, it could dictate how and when the federal government sells federal land. This was a stunning assertion of constitutional power by California, and it was properly and promptly dismissed by the district judge. It is unfortunate that, in the interim, California forced both the Justice Department and the court to spend valuable time and resources to dispose of its baseless position."
Farmers are losing money thanks to Trump — but they still support him
By MEGAN CASSELLA
At the time of the filing, Justice Department officials panned the law as yet another way to counter the Trump administration. Sessions noted that "California was admitted to the Union upon the express condition that it would never interfere with the disposal of federal land" and complained that he shouldn't have to "spend valuable time and resources" on the suit.
"California has, once again, passed an extreme statute found in no other state to obstruct the federal government, this time by interfering with the conveyance of federal lands," acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio said at the time. "This is another example of California ignoring federal law. No state legislature can, statute by statute, undermine the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution."
A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately return a request for comment and a spokesperson for the California State Lands Commission declined to comment on any plans to appeal the ruling, the deadline for which is Dec. 31.

Manafort's attorneys also pressed a federal judge to rein in Mueller's probe.
Prosecutor Greg Andres requested the subpoenas last week, but their issuance was made public by the court Wednesday.
At a hearing in the case last month, prosecutor Andrew Weissmann predicted the government would call 20 to 25 witnesses to testify against Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, during a prosecution case that would take eight to 10 trial days to present.
Manafort was indicted by a grand jury in Washington in October on charges including money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent in connection with his Ukraine-related lobbying work. In February, Mueller's office obtained a new indictment in Virginia against the longtime political consultant and lobbyist, charging him with bank fraud and tax fraud. Charges of failing to report for foreign bank accounts were effectively transferred from the Washington case to the Virginia one.
Manafort's Virginia trial is set to open July 10, with the Washington trial following on Sept. 17. Prosecutors have indicated they need at least 15 trial days, or about three weeks for their part of the D.C. trial.
In a separate court filing Wednesday night, Manafort's attorneys pressed a federal judge to rein in Mueller's probe, citing recent indications that the special counsel is "fervently pursuing" the former Trump campaign chair over potential offenses unconnected to either the Washington or Virginia cases.
"The Special Counsel is, right now, investigating Mr. Manafort for purported crimes unrelated to alleged coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials," Manafort's attorneys Kevin Downing and Thomas Zehnle wrote. "The Special Counsel continues to unlawfully investigate Mr. Manafort ... and has recently executed a search warrant to that end."
Manafort's defense team cited a court filing by prosecutors last week at which they revealed that the government obtained a search warrant on March 9 related to Manafort. Court records show the search related to "five telephone numbers controlled by AT&T," but other details related to the search are under seal.

Since I wrote about savasana post savasana yesterday, I was in a place with strong feelings. 24 hours + another yoga class with savasana later, I have a few more thoughts and a major retraction. Today won't be the day I write it all out because it's Friday, we're heading into a busy weekend, and I haven't organized it all yet. But I'll say that yesterday's post About Savasana is now officially going to be the first in an About Savasana series. Tktktk.


The study and design of machines which are highly intelligent is the artificial intelligence and this is also a branch of computer science. The term artificial intelligence was coined in a certain conference that happened in 1956 at Dartmouth defining it as the science of making an intelligent machine.
Back in the past years, the development of electronic computers has been starting and along with that domain and concept in which it is called as the artificial intelligence which is also concerned with the creation of machines that are very intelligent and also resembles humans or more accurately, it has the qualities of humans, the intelligent machines are also starting their production.
The artificial intelligence have disciplines that they are implying and that they are very different from one another. Philosophy, logic, mathematics, social sciences, psychology, cognitive sciences, engineering and computer science are very closely related and these are very crucial to artificial intelligence are some fields that are very essential to artificial intelligence and these fields are so much related to each other. All of the fields and sciences previously mentioned have a huge contribution to the creation of intelligent machines in which it has great resemblance to us humans.
The areas of application of the artificial intelligence are very different like image recognition, learning systems, robotics, natural language processing, soft computing, planning, knowledge representation and reasoning, logic programming, image understanding, scheduling, computer vision and so much more.
Since this has been invented, the field of artificial intelligence has been recorded as an amazing and rapid evolution and there are many researchers that have been reaching their goals in a successful creation of intelligent machines which has the capability and ability to partially do what a normal human being could do.
Problems cannot be avoided sometimes, so researchers have also been having problems and are still encountering some problems in the simulation of the intelligence of a human being. Many characteristics and ability to correspond to certain standards are what an intelligent machine should have.
Dan Faggella is a researcher on the field of artificial intelligence and you can search for you to know more.

Neonatal cardiac physiology varies considerably from that of an adult and is uniquely situated to meet the needs of the neonate at a time of significant change from the environment in utero. A full understanding of these differences first requires knowledge of the fetal circulation as well as the changes that occur at birth, known as the transitional circulation.
The fetal circulation is comprised of several structures that differentiate it from later circulation (Figure 131-1). Most importantly, the placenta allows for appropriate oxygenation of the fetus as well as nutritional and metabolic exchange to occur with the mother. A single umbilical vein leaves the placenta and carries oxygenated blood to the fetus. When blood enters the fetal liver, approximately 60% bypasses the liver's circulation via the ductus venosus and enters the inferior vena cava (IVC) directly. About one-third of this IVC blood, which is more highly oxygenated, is then directed by the Eustachian valve to the right atrium (RA) where it crosses the foramen ovale and enters the left atrium (LA). From there, it enters the left ventricle (LV) and then the ascending aorta, ultimately perfusing the coronary and cerebral circulation. This blood, termed the preductal blood, has the highest oxygenation and can be measured after birth with pulse oximetry on the right upper extremity.
Diagram of the fetal circulation. The numbers within the circles are percentages of the combined ventricular output.
The remaining two-thirds of the IVC blood joins with superior vena cava (SVC) blood in the RA and enters the right ventricle (RV) followed by the pulmonary artery. Due to the significant hypoxia in the lungs and their collapsed state, the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is very high. Therefore, approximately 90% of the pulmonary artery blood flow bypasses the lungs, instead flowing across the ductus arteriosus into the descending aorta and the systemic circulation. This blood returns to the placenta via two umbilical arteries.
As opposed to the adult circulation, which is in series, the fetal circulation is in parallel. With the shunting described above, the RV ejects approximately two-thirds of the combined ventricular output compared to one-third ejected by the LV. This increased workload, in addition to the high PVR, which it is pumping against, results in the RV having a greater muscle mass relative to the LV.

The city is gearing up for another vibrant Brighton Pride festival next weekend (August 3 and 4).
Whether you're heading to Preston Park to party with Kylie, cheering on the Community Parade, or dancing the night away at the Pride Village Party, here's everything you need to know.
The new parade route
New parade route
Each year the LGBTQ+ celebration kicks off in a kaleidoscope of colour with the Community Parade which makes its way through the city on Saturday (August 3).
Hundreds of thousands of people line the streets to watch the carnival-like parade, which includes floats from local LGBT groups, emergency services, employers, charities and dance and performance groups.
This year, organisers have tweaked the route, as major roadworks are taking place at Valley Gardens, a key point along the parade.

The parade leaves Hove Lawns at 11am as usual, processing along Kings Road on the seafront before turning left up West Street. The the parade moves past the Clock Tower up Queens Road, turning right down North Road.
At the bottom of North Road the parade will turn left and join the old route to process up Gloucester Place and London Road finishing in Preston Park where the Pride Festival takes place.
So this year it skips out Old Steine to avoid the works at Victoria Gardens.
Who is playing the Pride in the Park?
Kylie Minogue will headline Pride in the Park
Well you should know by now that pop icon Kylie Minogue is headlining the festival at Preston Park on Saturday, August 3.

What about LoveBN1Fest?
On Sunday, LoveBN1Fest takes over Preston Park for the second year with international pop star Jessie J and the legendary Grace Jones taking to the stage alongside Rak Su, Nina Nesbitt, House Gospel Choir, Grace Carter and Guilty Pleasures.
This family friendly day will feature fun for parents and children of all ages. Baby Loves Disco, Alice's Theme Party and Bubble Inc. will all be in attendance to entertain our younger attendees alongside the usual performance artists, cabaret, circus skills, BN1 Magazine tent, BIMM live stage, Boogaloo Bingo and much, much more.

With fierce fun, saucy wonders, camp pop, cabaret, DJs, clubbing and Brighton favourite Boogaloo Bingo, Sink The Pink returns for a spectacular official pre-Pride party show featuring the one and only Sporty Spice, Melanie C.
Pride has been working with Event Travel Hub to create a network of pick up locations across the South, London and selected cities to transport Pride visitors safely to and from Pride 2019. To find out more, visit brighton-pride.org/travel

Brighton Pride asks revellers to allow plenty of time to get to Brighton Station as it may take up to one hour due to the large crowds leaving the city during the festival. Preston Park Station is closed each year during the Pride festival.
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has confirmed plans for extra Saturday train services to help visitors to the city get home from Brighton over the weekend.
Organisers warn that there will be significant road closures for part of the day of Pride and that there is no parking at Preston Park and its surroundings on the day.
How do I get my tickets?
There is a new location for the box office this year – Old Steine.
If you just have an e-ticket for the Pride Festival on Saturday August 3 you can go straight to the gate marked on the ticket. Gates open midday and organisers advise people to arrive early to avoid the queues and suggest 6pm latest for finale show.
Exchange your Pride Village Party (PVP) e-tickets at the Box Office on Old Steine. You will need your e-ticket (please print out) and ID in the name of the lead booker.
The Box Office will be open daily in Pride week on:
Wednesday July 31: 11:00 – 19:00
Thursday August 1: 11:00 – 19:00
Friday August 2: 09:00- 22:00
Saturday August 3: 09:00- 22:00
Sunday August 4: 13:00 – 21:00
Organisers said that Pride in the Park and Pride Village party (PVP) tickets should be purchased in advance to avoid queues and both events are likely to sell out in advance.

The groomsmen wore classic black suits while the bridesmaids wore long gray dresses. The ceremony took place on the second story balcony area overlooking the water with Michael's father officiating. With the sun starting to set during the ceremony, the setting was stunning.
My favorite time of the day was when I got to photograph them alone in front of the Aquarium as a newly married couple. Afterwards, they were introduced for the first time as husband and husband into their reception as they rode down the escalator from the floor above.

Portsmouth council planners deal blow to South Parade Pier
South Parade Pier has been dealt a blow after a retrospective planning application for its new 19-seat cafe deck was opposed by local councillors. In a resort where hospitality is the lifeline, the local authority showed itself to be more equipped to pull the plug.
Portsmouth City Council has declined to grant retrospective planning permission for a new cafe terrace already built to the east of South Parade Pier, calling the construction "shoddy and tawdry."
The decking, which accommodates 19 tables served by pier kiosk Tea on Sea, had been approved on a smaller scale in 2018, however councillors objected to an expanded structure built this year.
"It's just like a scar on the side of the pier now," said councillor Linda Symes. "It really detracts from the beauty of that wonderful listed building and makes it look shoddy and tawdry."
Adding his opinion, councillor Daniel Wemyss said "it isn't an attractive area with that decking."
A proposal to build a 1,431 sq ft deck next to the pier was approved by planners three years ago, with the application from the owners stating "the covering of this relatively small part of the beach, which is little used by bathers, would not have any negative impact on the overall attractiveness of the beach for users."
"This is an entirely reversible addition to the pier that could be removed in the future without harm to the pier structure."
However, the existing permissions expired prior to pier owner Tommy Ware constructing the new 1,914 sq ft deck, with five of eight councillors voting in opposition at a recent meeting despite a report from the council's own planning officer which advised granting approval.
"The objection of local residents to the loss of public beach is noted and it is acknowledged that the design and management of the structure would reduce public access or at least the perception of public access to this part of the beach," read the report.
"This impact does of course need to be balanced against the enhancement to facilities and economic implications of the proposal."

The return to democracy occurred inand since then we have lived in a climate in which we can express ourselves without fear. How do thrillers and mysteries fare?
To this we have to add the factor of time that is indispensable to realize our creations. Writing a novel is a long distance race, and to arrive well at the finish line requires preparation and willpower. My maternal grandfather was one of them, and came from Croatia.
His work dias won numerous awards, been translated into a dozen languages, and has appeared on Chilean television. That was a period in the history of my country that affected me in many ways.
The relationship that Heredia establishes with the city, and especially with one of the oldest and most traditional etegovic, allows him to perform a sort of urban registry that names places that are being destroyed. This makes for a much different scene than when I published my first Heredia novel.
I arrived inand since then I have seen it grow and modernize permanently. The list could be etrovic longer, because among other reasons, the last years have seen an uptick in the number of authors writing within the codes of crime fiction.
