Right Here Waiting
Blue Lyrics
Got my feet back on the ground,
Look for something new,
There's been too much goin' down,
I Don't know what to do.
They say that what you never had you never miss,
So tell me why I never knew a love like this.
Right here (nothing else matters)
Waiting (things are getting better)
You're the (only thing that matters)
One thing (I'm never givin' up).
Should have seen it from the start,
That you were always there.
Ain't no tearing us apart,
I can't believe you're here.
They say that what you never had you never miss
I'm needing in my life, It's taken time for me to realise,
How come I never saw you standing right before my eyes?
I'm needing in my life,
It's taken time for me to realize,
How come I never saw you,
Standing right before my eyes ?

David's Bridal Applauded For Using Plus-Size Model In Its Ads
By Christine Slusser
The company says it recognizes its customers come in all shapes and sizes and wanted to represent that diversity in its ads.
David's Bridal is getting praised for this:
Images of a model who wears a size 14. The promotional images are for the company's newest store in Glasgow, Scotland.
That model is Mercy Watson. She proudly touts on Instagram she's a "curvy mannequin," Australian-made and currently based in the Big Apple.
People have been commending David's Bridal for choosing Watson to represent the company.
Glamour says the average David's Bridal customer is size 14 — so it made sense for the company to pick a model who represented its client base.
The senior vice president of David's Bridal said he recognized customers were different shapes and sizes and wanted to show that diversity in the ads.
Other companies like Maurices have also featured plus-size models and received positive feedback.

Daisy Ridley stars in a scene from the movie "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." (CNS photo/Disney)
NEW YORK (CNS) — Despite the high price of a movie ticket these days, patrons are unlikely to come away from a showing of the engrossing sci-fi epic "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (Disney) feeling shortchanged.
Vast in scale and operatic in intensity, this 152-minute visit to that galaxy far, far away is both satisfying and, for the most part, family-friendly.
With the mayhem inevitable in a movie about a war kept gore-free and only minor blemishes on the dialogue, parents may be more concerned about the nonscriptural notions centering on the famous Force that are here collectively referred to as the "Jedi religion." Teens able to take this fictional faith, a sort of dime-store Taoism, as just one more element in a fantasy world will benefit from lessons about the value of hope and the true nature of heroism.
The "Star Wars" saga has often been characterized as the Iliad of contemporary culture. So perhaps it's fitting that the opening of writer-director Rian Johnson's eighth episode of the narrative initiated by George Lucas in 1977 finds Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) imitating Homer's Achilles by holding aloof from the great struggle in which he once took an active part.
Rather than sulking in his tent, as Achilles did, Luke is leading a solitary life of self-imposed exile among the small stone huts of a distant planet. (These scenes were shot on the Irish island of Skellig Michael, site of a medieval monastery.) His isolation is interrupted by the arrival of Rey (Daisy Ridley) who has come as a messenger from Luke's twin sister, Leia (the late Carrie Fisher).
As the leading general of the embattled Resistance — the latter-day version of the Rebel Alliance for which Luke once fought — Leia urgently needs her brother's famed skills as a warrior if the struggle against the fascistic First Order (successor to the evil Galactic Empire), and its malignant leader, Snoke (Andy Serkis), is to continue.
Luke refuses to join the conflict. But he does agree to train Rey in the ways of the Force. Rey will need the power of this mysterious spiritual energy, the source of Luke's own prowess, when she eventually confronts Leia's son, Ben Solo, aka Kylo Ren (Adam Driver).
Originally a good person, Ben has gone over to the side of darkness, and now serves as Snoke's chief lieutenant. Even so, he still has some elements of good remaining in him, and his ongoing moral struggle has the potential to sway the outcome of the intergalactic battle.
Though it gets off to a slow start, once it hits its stride "The Last Jedi" sweeps viewers along with stirring action and audience-pleasing plot twists. While not as taut as last year's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," this sprawling installment of the great franchise makes, in the end, for a more memorable experience.
The script's portrayal of the Force as capable of endowing those who cultivate it either with goodness or iniquity may strike moviegoers of faith as establishing a false equivalence of power between these two poles of morality. Some may even see in this an implicit denial of the rule of divine providence and God's ultimate supremacy over sin.
Yet, in keeping with a Christian worldview, characters do make their ethical choices more or less freely. And the idea that a change in basic identity should be reflected by a change of name echoes a recurring trope in Scripture — and in the church's sacramental practice.
Audience members young or old are unlikely to spend much time meditating on these aspects of the picture, however. Instead, they'll be content to ride this cinematic whirlwind while it lasts, and leave its mythos behind them like so much popcorn on the theater floor.
The film contains frequent but bloodless combat violence, a scene of torture, a couple of mild oaths and a few crass terms. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II — adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 — parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

The history of Lester Park Golf Course (LPGC) is intrinsically linked to that of Enger Park Golf Course (EPGC), established in 1926. By June 1927 the Enger park course and clubhouse were open to golfers. Two years later, despite the onset of the Great Depression, EPGC had earned back the city's investment.
The unemployment caused by the Great Depression along with the success of EPGC gave rise to the idea of a second municipal course in Duluth in 1929. Park Superintendent F. Rodney Paine was behind the idea, but the city did not have ready funds on hand to begin work. He estimated the cost for the course at $45,000, with another $12,000 for a clubhouse; with other features, the total cost was estimated at $76,000. Since Enger had made a $9,500 profit that year, the idea seemed very feasible—but there was no source for the initial capital.
Paine's affluent friends came up with the needed cash—$25,000—to underwrite the initial construction cost of the course's first nine holes. Robert Congdon (as well as the Congdon Estate), Congdon's brother-in-law H. C. Dudley, grain trader Ward Ames, George H. Spencer, Paine's father F. W. Paine, B. M. Peyton, Thomas D. Merrill, I. S. Moore, R. W. Higgins, Mrs. A. M. Marshall, Mrs. A. L. Ordean, and Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Rice formed the City Land Company and pooled $25,000 for the course's creation.
It was a selfless act: None of the investors owned any of the land that was purchased, and most of them were members of Northland and Ridgeview Country Clubs—they already had a place to play golf, but saw the greater community need for more public links. The funding required no down payment by the city, and the first payment wasn't due until 1933; no annual payments would exceed $6,000, and the debt would be paid off in five years.
Construction began on October 24, 1930, when 75 unemployed men set to work clearing trees, brush, and boulders from the course. This was part of a plan contrived by both citizens and the Duluth City Council to provide jobs to those without work. Duluth's City Works Administration worked much like the WPA projects and Civilian Conservation Corps camps that would later be established by the Roosevelt administration. A pool of over $16,000 had been established just for work on the city's parks. Those unemployed men cleared nine fairways by the end of November—by hand.
The next summer Anderson went to work on the finer points of the course, which included seeding the greens with Enger Bent. Meanwhile, at Enger Park the original greens were torn up and reseeded with Enger Bent, In fact, several other courses in the area began using Enger Bent on the greens as well, including the short-lived Lakewood Golf Club. By October, LPGC's front nine was ready for play.
While it was a bit late in the year for golfing, the City Land Company presented Lester Park Golf Course to the city of Duluth on October 2, 1931. L. G. Castle, president of the company, formally turned the course offer to Mayor Sam Snively, representing the city's golf course commission. Mr. Snively also hit the official first drive at Lester—but the newspapers of the day failed to report how well the mayor hit the ball. The event was marked by a nine-hole match between four of Duluth's most prominent golfers: Northland club champ Bobby Campbell and Ridgeview club champ Ray Belisle against "public links golf stars" G. R. Ward and Runcie Martin. The competition ended in a tie.
The first nine holes of the course opened to the public on May 27, 1932, with the same four men participating in the first "test match" round. The second nine holes of the courses were developed that year, financed with $10,000 from a $500,000 bond established in 1926.
Lester Park Golf Course was formally dedicated June 11, 1933. By then, the clubhouse—which cost $15,000—was already complete. The structure was designed by A. R. Melander, a native Duluthian who also created the plans for Duluth's First Lutheran and First United Methodist churches, Somers Hall at St. Scholastica, the original East Junior High (now Ordean Middle School), as well as St. Mary's, St. Luke's. and Miller Memorial (Miller-Dwan) hospitals.
Mayor Snively hosted the dedication, making a speech and again driving the first ball. The day was marked by tournament played by "16 star pro and amateur golfers of the city." Everett Nelson won the event, witnessed by over 1,500 spectators, shooting a score of 76.
Since the course was dedicated, its history has been relatively quiet, which is expected with such a facility. The course has sponsored formal and informal leagues throughout its history, including a Men's League, a Women's League, a Senior's League, the Lakeview Club, the Sunrise Club, and the "Red Caps" (another group of seniors), among others. The course has also hosted youth programs and countless tournaments, including charity scrambles and the annual Lakeview Medal, which is still played today.
Generations of Duluthians have enjoyed the course over the past 80 years—many of them learned the game at Lester. They participated in tournaments, league play, youth programs, and informal outings with friends. For some, the course grew to become more to them than merely a place to play. While many of those have passed on, they are not forgotten—at least not on the golf course. Today, anyone playing Lester Park Golf Course can see its history on the tee box of nearly every hole, where either the tee sign or a bench is etched with the names of those who loved the course, particularly time spent there in the company of friends.
Andy Anderson retired in 1964, replaced by 10-year LPGC veteran Buck Wiley. Wiley stepped down just three years later, turning the reins over to Jim Anderson, Andy's son, who at that point had 22 years of experience on the course—he started there in 1945 while still a student at Central High. Jim Anderson managed until his retirement in 1983, marking the end of 57 years of Anderson men maintaining Duluth's municipal golf courses. Andy passed away in 1981, Jim in 2005.
Many others worked at the course over the years holding titles that included "manager," "supervisor," and "pros," including Bill Rosen, Norm Johnson, Rick Liljedahl, Mark A. Carlson and others. Mary Thorene ran the pro shop in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Over the years Duluth's public golf courses have seen few capital improvements, a testament to its original construction, which included the most sophisticated watering system in the region. According to a 1991 article in the Duluth News Tribune, at different points during the life of EPGC and LPGC, citizens have criticized city leaders for not doing enough with their public golf courses. In the late 1980s, Duluth mayor John Fedo changed that.
Encouraged by the expansion of I-35 through Duluth and improvements to the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center, Fedo and other city leaders felt Duluth was poised to become a convention center—and that the rest of the city needed to help attract those conventions. Since the popularity of golf was on the rise nationally, one improvement idea involved adding nine holes each to both LPGC and EPGC, expanding both to 27 holes and Duluth's total public links to 54.
The city hired Denver's Richard Phelps to design both additions. At Enger Park, he found a spot between the original front and back nines to create what is known as the Middle nine today. At Lester Park, Phelps took a heavily wooded area along a sloping hillside west of the front nine and transformed it into a set of links known as the Lake nine. The total costs came to over $4.1 million (roughly $7.6 million today), which the city paid for with a loan at 6 percent interest. Interest brings the total expense to over $6.5 million or more than $12 million in today's dollars.
According to a 1998 article in the Duluth News Tribune, it wasn't until 1997 that Duluth first hired Professional Golf Association professionals to manage its courses when Paul Schintz was hired to run Lester.

Cinco de Mayo Fiestas
Erin O'Hara
Although widely believed to be Mexico's Independence Day (which is actually September 16), Cinco de Mayo in fact commemorates a different milestone in history: the country's May 5, 1862, victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. The holiday, however, has evolved into a wide-ranging celebration of Mexican culture—including its cuisine, music, dance and, of course, margaritas.
The eatery Mamá Mexico—whose owner hails from the state of Puebla, where the legendary battle with the French took place—throws an annual party to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It goes without saying that you don't have to be Mexican to join in on the fun, but it helps if you at least know "La Cucaracha," the holiday's unofficial anthem. Enjoy this and other mariachi favorites at the restaurant, where the authentic fiesta commences at 7pm, replete with a live band and Mexican folk dancers.
You can similarly fete Mexican culture and cuisine at one of Julian Medina's restaurants. Be prepared to sweat a little, as the renowned Mexican chef adds a hearty kick (read: chili peppers and other hot ingredients) to many dishes. During its soiree, Toloache, named after the Mexican flower known for its use in potions of amor, serves up a special menu of spicy family-style meals, alongside a live mariachi band (a prix fixe meal is available only to parties of six or more). Don't worry—if the heat is searing, you can always cool down with a De la Calle margarita (a drink featuring Siembra Azul Tequila Blanco, cucumber, jicama, basil and fresh lime). The Medina outposts Yerba Buena and Yerba Buena Perry have a different, but equally piquant, menu—even the chocolate cake contains chipotle.
The restaurant Maya is hosting a flavorfully gourmet celebration on May 5, when guests can enjoy a three-course "modern Mexican" menu for $50. Complement the meal with a margarita from the bar, which serves up more than 100 different tequilas and mezcals. Mariachis play from 6pm until the party ends.
If you want to begin the festivities earlier in the day, stop by Sinigual for $3 tacos and wings, $4 guacamole and $6 ceviche, available starting at 4pm. Or enjoy an especially long happy hour at the restaurant/bar Gonzalez y Gonzalez, where draft beer is $3 and house margaritas cost just $5 from noon to 6pm. The evening's entertainment includes the invigorating sounds of live salsa courtesy of Ralph Irizarry y Amigos, who play two one-hour sets at 10:30pm and 12:30am; before that, Gonzalez will feature a five-piece mariachi band at 7pm, DJ Charlie (who will be spinning from late afternoon until close), giveaways and more. The venue has plenty of room for dancing, so you can easily segue from food and drinks to footwork as the occasion warrants.
Rocking Horse Café's yearly bash is sure to be a hit, thanks to specialty platos pequeños (small plates) like guajillo-braised-pork masa dumplings. Guests will also be treated to the festive music of mariachis while sipping the frozen watermelon margarita, which Rocking Horse debuts for the season as May begins. Stop by for one…or several.
No matter where you celebrate—or how you choose to toast Mexico's vibrant culture—Cinco de Mayo provides ample opportunity to savor the mole, mariachi, salsa and other specialties to keep you happily entertained through the night.

Home|Artists, Tropical Diaspora #1 Artists|Abeokuta
AbeokutaAdministrator2020-05-24T03:26:38+02:00

Tropicalistas world wide, we had the honor to build a human web of connections in different diasporas this time covering Germany, Spain and Brazil. More specifically Berlin, São Paulo, Recife and Madrid, so we are proud to introduce you another band coming to enrich the Tropical Diaspora Records musical landscape.
Abeokuta band from the Nigeria of Latin America also know as Brazil nowadays, aside from Nigeria no other country has as many Black people as Brazil. The band Abeokuta, whose name is inspired by Fela Kuti's home-town, they are one of the main Afrobeat independent groups in Brazil´s. During the production process of their last EP 'Agô' it was evident how the band put in practice their musical ideas as an independent group.
"…The positive feedback from the crowd in the band performances showed the group of musicians that it was necessary to take a step forward and materialize that energy committed to the shows in a definitive record…" explains Jedson Nobre, bassist and founder of the group.
As a great admirer of Fela Kuti, Jedson decided to get the idea out of the role and put the old will into action after a trip to Rio de Janeiro few years ago. On that occasion he met drummer Tony Allen, the guitarist Oghene Kologbo – both former partners of the Nigerian musician in his legendary band Afro 70. After he participated in a jam session with other heavyweight participants like B. Negão, André Sampaio and Abaomi Afrobeat Orchestra Jedson returned to Recife determined to set up the band.
The Abeokuta band adds the 'afrobeat' footprint to popular culture found in Pernambuco rhythms. To adorn the afrobeat with the guise of popular music (maracatus, caboclinhos and afoxés from the musical experiences of percussionists), the band approaches the listeners with the regional identification. It can be said that the sound of Abeokuta translates a new experience tied to familiarity.
When merging jazz, funk and percussion to design the pace which would bring African music to a contemporary level and full of swing and positive social criticism, the multi-instrumentalist Fela Kuti won the world with the energetic and consistent 'afrobeat', with lyrics in Yoruba (African dialect) and English gave birth to a new musical concept. Fela inspired artists around the world to move and expose their ideals until today, also so Abeokuta.
Mr. Job
Abeokuta Afrobeat


Finding their 'forever' family home in one of the picturesque villages south of Oxford was the remit for this family. They had been hunting for some time without success and it was made more difficult by the fact that Mrs K was pregnant, they had a two year old and Mr K ran his own business which had great demands on his time.
The family were renting in Oxfordshire and were after a home which had character and was big enough to accommodate their growing family and they didn't mind a project. They shortlisted a number of potential villages south of Oxford – where suitable family homes rarely change hands. The couple had been hunting for over a year time when they got Chiltern Relocation on board and they had missed out on a number of properties. With such a specific remit we shortlisted potential properties and found a house that would be a project for them.
The house received much interest due to its character and went to the sealed bids. However with our tried and tested method of winning sealed bids we were delighted that the family won the process and their forever home could start to take shape.
The family were delighted to secure the property and to start their project. They were keen to start putting their vision in place for their forever home.
"Chiltern Relocation did a great job for us in finding our family home. With two small children, renting in Oxfordshire, we had tough criteria to find our ideal home for years to come and Sharon was professional and expert throughout. We particularly welcomed her proactive approach including regular progress updates. Sharon seems to have magic ways of gaining access to information that others don't, and in sealed bid process we embarked on her advice was invaluable in us buying our home at the optimal price".
Regards for all your efforts tyat you have put in this.

Samuelson: Has the stock market gone mad?
WASHINGTON -- If you think you understand what's going on with the global economy, you're probably not paying attention.
On the one hand, the stock market is powering ahead. Since its recent low on Dec. 24, it was up 22.4 percent, according to the Wilshire 5000 total market index, which measures the value of all publicly traded U.S. stocks. That's a paper gain of $5.7 trillion. Asian and European stock markets have also rebounded. On the other hand, the "real" economy of jobs and production is slumping in the United States, Europe and China.
How can both be true? Maybe they can't.
A slowing global economy should weaken the profits of major corporations, which in turn should reduce stock prices. After all, stock values supposedly reflect present and future profits. But stocks are advancing, not retreating. Something, it seems, ought to give. Either the real economy ought to catch up with the stock market, or stocks ought to fall to match the weaker outlook for the real economy.
For the moment, the economy can't seem to make up its mind. Uneasy about the economy's strength, many economists have downgraded their forecasts. Just recently, the Federal Reserve suspended interest-rate increases fearing they might derail the recovery. Meanwhile, stock indexes are trading near historical highs.
Let's examine some numbers. The Peterson Institute for International Economics, a think tank, makes regular economic forecasts. Here are its latest projections for 2019. Growth in the United States will drop from 2.9 percent in 2018 to 2.2 percent; in the eurozone (the 19 countries in the European Union that use the euro), the decline will be from 1.8 percent to 1.2 percent; and China's growth will fall to 6.1 percent, lower than its 2018 rate (6.6 percent).
Economist Karen Dynan of Peterson attributes most of the U.S. slowdown to the waning effect of the Trump administration's 2017 tax cut. Other recent economic indicators signal weakness.
A Paychex/IHS survey of small businesses showed a decline in hiring during March after two months of no job growth. Similarly, the Census Bureau reported that orders for durable goods -- industrial machinery, oil-drilling equipment, turbines, cars, computers and the like -- were flat even after removing a decline of orders for Boeing commercial jets.
One possible explanation of the economy's slowdown is that the global recovery has benefited from large doses of cheap credit -- loans, bonds and other types of debt -- and that this torrent of borrowing is now receding. Although the forms of borrowing, whether by governments, businesses or consumers, differ from country to country, a broad credit tightening could undermine the worldwide economic expansion.
"The rise in global debt slowed sharply in 2018," says a new report from the Institute of International Finance (IIF). In 2017, worldwide debt increased by a staggering $21 trillion, according to the report. Last year, the increase was a much smaller $3.3 trillion. "This slowdown was mainly driven by Europe and China," the report notes.
But perhaps the global slowdown is only a pause and the buoyant stock market is simply giving fair warning of a stronger economy. Commentators have been complaining for years that stocks are overvalued, and the market has repeatedly brushed these doubts aside.
Corporate profits have been strong, and the market is valuing every dollar of profit at a high "multiple" deserving of a rich stock price. The average PE (price to earnings ratio) of the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has averaged 17 since 1936, according to Howard Silverblatt, a senior analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Now the PE exceeds a lofty 22.
Either the market is mad or it's gushing with good news.
— Robert Samuelson has covered economic issues for The Washington Post since 1977.

Soho Sonic – Celebrating 10 Years
Call: +44 (0)20 7193 4467 | Email: [email protected]
WATCH OUR TESTIMONIALS VIDEO
My band and I had a great time recording at Soho Sonic. The staff were very friendly, personable and accommodating to all our requirements. The studio is quite spacious and well kitted out. Even better, it is used by experienced professionals who help to get the best out of you. All this with a generous supply of tea and water means I'll definitely be using Soho Sonic again!
Otty / Singer/Songwriter
I've been working alongside OJ now for several years. My first initial session to record a demo for my publisher was meant to be a one-off. I was so impressed with the standard and level of service that I went back to record songs some of which are on my soon to be released new album "Bring back the love". Apart from being a seasoned professional, OJ (Ofer Shabi) is a great producer and musician with an eclectic taste in music and is very versatile. OJ is also a perfectionist and as such he ensures that he always gives100% during the creative process. The studio environment is very relaxing to work in, easy and convenient to get to as it's in the heart of London. The end product/result is always of a high standard and quality. I highly recommend Soho Sonic studios as it's value for money. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Hilz from Hil Street Soul / Singer & Songwriter managed by Crown Music
Thanks so much for the session Richard... I was very happy with everything... I'll be sure to recommend Soho Sonic to colleagues
Matheson Bayley / Pianist, Composer, Orchestrator, Singer and Television host
The Mix sounds f***ing incredible... Its pretty perfect to be honest.
Alex Akselberg / Singer/Songwriter
I wanted to drop you a brief but sincere couple of lines of thanks for all the hard work you put into making the music & sound behind Economy Gastronomy such a success. Despite having a new brief thrown at you seemingly every other week you behaved always with courtesy and professionalism. And you really nailed it. The music is outstanding. It was wonderful to have your talents on the team. It goes without saying, that when I next need the right tunes, you will be the first person I will call.
Paul Tasker / Series producer, Outline Productions for BBC2
Our recent time at Soho Sonic has been a fantastic experience… OJ's knowledge, good humour and patience was vital in helping Alejandra find the best possible production at the studio of her song The things I've done… allowing her to record this song in a new way with a different style and after much effort by all at Soho Sonic evolving into a version that she is now very proud of. OJ's commitment to Ale's music and the vision of where he could take this song along with his belief in Alejandra as an artist made this possible and the dedication that he put into achieving this is much appreciated by both of us. We would also like to say thank you to Richard too for his help with the acoustic productions… his skill, hard work and constant good humour during the day helped provide a fun and memorable occasion for Alejandra, myself and everyone involved in our team. We are looking forward to working with OJ, Richard and all at Soho Sonic again soon and send them all our best wishes for the future.
Dave Brown & Alejandra / Singer and Songwriter
I love Soho Sonic! Great state-of-the-art studio full of talented, supportive people. Excellent location at a good price. I've already recommended it.
Jeff Kristian / Composer (Spidarlings, Movie) Singer (Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Channel 5)
I just wanted to say a big thank you for our session the other day, both Vas and I really enjoyed ourselves and you were all so welcoming that it was so easy for Vas to overcome her nerves. It was a pleasure meeting you all and we'll be sure to come back soon.
Sophia Karanicholas / Purchased a Soho Sonic Gift Voucher for her friend
Thanks a lot for all your help, we would 100% use your expertise again in future projects. It was the first time we used a recording studio for a project and now I cant imagine doing it any other way. We have a few other games in the pipeline so we will be back at the studio soon 🙂

What's On / Bristol Concerts, Theatre & Dance / Before I am Lost
Before I am Lost
— Alma Tavern and Theatre
March 1919. Imagist poet Hilda Doolittle feels the first pangs of labour. But the child is not her husbands....
price: £11 / £9
March 1919. Imagist poet Hilda Doolittle feels the first pangs of labour. She has been through this before, but things are different now: this child is not her husband's. Convinced that the birth will claim her life, Hilda makes a frantic final confession to her unborn daughter.
As she relives the blossoming and breakdown of her relationship with husband Richard Aldington, the discovery of her poetic talents and the fight for recognition amongst her male peers, and the moment she met the woman who would change her life, Hilda must find new resolve to live.
One hundred years after the birth of H.D.'s daughter Perdita, Beatrice Vincent's new monologue pays tribute to an unjustly forgotten talent. Before I am Lost celebrates queer female creativity and the bond between mother and daughter.
Before I am Lost premiered at the Etcetra Theatre in August 2019 as part of the Camden Fringe.
Poem By Hilda Doolittle - Amira Totah

Q: Junit toString Partial coverage I was making a junit test fora  to string class here in net beans:
public String toString() {
        try {
            return "I am ContainerTruck " + getIdentifier() + ".\n\tI am at "
                    + getLocation() + " and am heading to " + getDestination()
                    + ".\n\tMy load is " + getCurrentLoadWeight() + " and my max load is "
                    + getMaxLoadWeight() + ".\n\tDistance to my destination is "
                    + String.format("%4.2f", distance(getDestination())) + ". "
                    + (atDestination() ? "I am there!" : "I'm not there yet");
        } catch (InvalidDataException ex) {
            return ex.getMessage();
        }
    }

and netbeans keep saying I get partial coverage on my test:
public void testToString(){

                double lX = 1.0;
        double lY = 1.0;
        double lZ = 1.0;
        double dX = 1.0;
        double dY = 1.0;
        double dZ = 1.0;
        double spd = 1.0;
        double mxSpd = 1.0;
        double mlw = 1.0;
            try{
        ContainerTruck result = new ContainerTruck(lX, lY, lZ, dX, dY, dZ, spd, mxSpd, mlw);
                IdentifiableImpl imp = new IdentifiableImpl(result.getIdentifier());

        assertNotNull(result);
        assertEquals("I am ContainerTruck " + imp.getIdentifier() + ".\n\tI am at [1.00, 1.00, 1.00] and am heading to [1.00, 1.00, 1.00].\n\tMy load is 0.0 and my max load is 1.0.\n\tDistance to my destination is 0.00. I am there!", result.toString());
        assertEquals(imp.getIdentifier(),result.getIdentifier());
        assertEquals(0.0, result.getCurrentLoadWeight(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getLocationZ(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getLocationY(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getLocationX(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getMaxLoadWeight(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getDestinationX(), delta);
        assertEquals(true, result.atDestination());
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getDestinationY(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getDestinationZ(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getSpeed(), delta);
        assertEquals(1.0, result.getMaxSpeed(), delta);
        }catch (InvalidDataException ex) {
            fail(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

can someone explain to me why this is still considered partial coverage?

A: Your toString method is considering just happy scenario, where some of your method doesn't throw the exception and hence it never goes into catch block.
You should try calling the method in such a way that you get into catch block where you could return exception's message.

THE ROLLING STONES' OTHER MICK | MICK TAYLOR'S SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE
The epic pic, "Flapjacks and a Fag." — The Rolling Stones' Mick Taylor and Keith Richards, Hotel Manchester, September, 1973 — Photo by Laurens Van Houten
At the wee age of 20 years old, guitarist Mick Taylor (of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers fame) replaced Brian Jones, in what as that time the greatest rock and roll band in the world– the Rolling Stones. Well the best was yet to come, as they went on to record the epic musical masterpieces– Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street.
Then suddenly in '74, Mick dropped out. Some say he was kicked out– but Taylor simply had enough of the chaos, drugs, and strain that came with being in the Stones. Had he stayed, Taylor adamantly believes that the Stones' life of debauchery would have killed him.
Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones
The one thing no one argues, not even the Stone's themselves, is that Mick Taylor's musical prowess far surpassed that of his former band mates. His fluid and bluesy guitar work held the group together through many of Richards' drug and alcohol binges. The irony is that many fans unwittingly attribute much of Mick Taylor's picking on countless Stones' classics from '69-'74 to guitar frontman, Keith Richards.
Back in '82, the Stone's management cut-off royalties due to Taylor for his work with the band– essentially screwing him. Adding insult to injury, they threw this tasty gem in the recently released documentary "Stones in Exile"–
Bassist Bill Wyman declares, "Musically he (Mick Taylor) was a better musician than the other guys in the band. Some of the things he did was amazing but he was incredibly boring onstage. He'd do the most amazing licks, riffs and solos but he'd just stand there and look at his guitar. God, the audience would see the top of his head all the time. I always thought he could've been a bit more… but then I'm not a good one to talk. I don't leap about much. In 30 years with The Stones I've probably made three steps on the stage."
Mick Taylor, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.

jonnythumper says:
i'm in that inbetween age that makes my opinion irrelevant…but Mick T's side work had more zoom than Brian had or Ronnie has…for some reason, I hate this…probably because I never got to see it.
The guitar solo in "Can't You Hear Me Knockin" is proof enough.
Brian was good. Ronnie is a hack, and the luckiest man in Rock history after Ringo Starr.
Don Nefasto says:
Agreed… also tune into 'Time Waits for no man'. Taylor's meaty guitar put the fangs in the Stones 68-74 work. They've not come close since he left.
I am a huge fan of his work w/ J. Mayall as well…. check out: 'Diary of a Band, Volumes 1 and 2', 'Blues from Laurel Canyon' and 'Crusade' for some awesome Les Paul fueled Mick!
Love the blog and thanks for the increased posting activity!!!!!
my thoughts exactly. and good point with "can't you hear me knockin"-best example of Taylor's contribution, and a song that epitomizes the stone's attitude.
The only thing that Taylor lacked was style and myth, but hey when your standing there next to Keith, probably the coolest rock star of all time, its not hard appear boring is it?
Lynn Louque says:
Kieran says:
Ronnie a hack? Two words: The. Faces.
Bit harsh on old Ronnie J.P, Keef may feel similarly I suspect but Mick certainly wsa the "AMF" injection the lads required at the time.
I love all things Rolling Stones, and stumbled across your blog when looking for pics of Anita Pallenberg. Since then, I absolutely love, not only your amazing finds for pictures (I especially love the pic with the mirror, where the perspective is just so, that you can see Charlie Watts in the reflection), but the language you use in your style of writing.
Another awesome post! Keep up the good work, thanks!
Don O'Reilly says:
only a stones fan till I grew up.
but this story tells it all, bidness is screw or be screwed. pop music is no different than BP.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1213013/The-Rolling-Stone-whos-stony-broke-Why-Mick-Taylor-lives-rundown-Suffolk-semi-shabby-car.html
substance (and ethics) will get you nowhere. bullshit and deception rules. have a nice day,
anniesparks says:
Very sad story. I remember him being with John Mayall's band. When you think about it, he was just SO young – would have probably been better for him if he had never joined the Stones, he might have had more success and happiness with forming his own band or even joining someone else, he didn't fit in with the Stones on a personal level. He can't really blame them for all his troubles afterwards though.
Cormany M says:
He's always maintained that the correct question is not why did he leave the Stones, but why did he join the Stones. He never wanted to be a rock star and he never really wanted to play rock. But at 20, when you're invited to join the Stones, what else are you gonna say but yes?
Like anniesparks said, Just too young to be that good. Some of the classic cuts he made with Mayall he was the same age I was when I was a junior and senior in high school. Amazing.
He never has blamed his subsequent drug problems on the Stones. In fact he goes out of his way to say that they aren't the reason he became so dependent on so many different chemicals at various times. Having been there myself, I know you can use all the excuses you want but ultimately it's you and your choices. Maybe that's why I feel so connected to the man. I think we both would like a lot of do-overs in life.
federicodecalifornia says:
Did your Homework on this one ~ Superb Shots, always a Big Fan..Cheers. FdeC
This site is PRICELESS! Awesome photo's.
Awesome picture of Mick onstage w/ Mayall's erstwhile drummer, Keef Hartley.
d love to see more of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's great on 'Get your ya ya's out' and I think my favorite Mick Taylor song is 'Jivin' Sister Fanny' which if you haven't heard can be found on the 'Metamorphesis' album. If you've ever played guitar and played Stones songs, it's fairly easy to tell which guitar is Keith and which is Mick Taylor or Ron Wood. Keith plays a lot of open tunings (example – Tumbling Dice). Mick Taylor is the one playing the tasty licks.
I love the picture with their gold record on the table. Clearly there for racking up some coke =)
Darmah Bum says:
Taylor was great. He probably shouldn't have ever joined the Stones but we are glad he did. He wasn't a great showman but he was the best musician in the history of the band. The true reason he left was because Keith Richards treated him like shit. I believe Richards was jealous of Taylors playing acumen. Good stuff JP. Thanks
Agreed, Bum. It's fairly obvious (albeit in 'jest') that richards' jealousy is what prompted everything. Too bad. Just read that article in the link and it's a great read.
Hopefully Mick will pull his finger out (as the Brits say) and contract a good barrister to get him his due credit ($$$) .
I've not been able to stop listening to Mick's music on the iPod since I read this blog entry.
Thanks JP.
Marcellus says:
Great Post JP. Huge, huge Stones fan here. Agree with everyone else's take, and must recommend The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones and S.T.P.: A Journey Through America With The Rolling Stones , both excellent looks at the 1972 and '75 tours, respectively.
Denis Lee says:
First saw MT with the Glimmer Twins in'69- two shows at Madison Square Garden in November that year. He was on his game less than six months into joining the band and even then you could see how he tried to defer to Keith, and was scorned by Richards. The Taylor years produced some of the Stone's finest work and his contribution to the band cannot be taken lightly. Sadly (or perhaps wisely) he was not of the same demeanor of his band mates and that coupled with Keith's attitude led to his undoing. Agreed that Woodie is a personality and not much more and the Stones probably would have produced a lot more landmark music than the drivel that followed Exile had Mick been accepted for his talent. Almost tragic but Mick and Keith have always controlled the band and they became a parody of themselves. I won't forget the early years (64- 68) when Brian was still healthy and the band was so good. A tremendous legacy and as always a story filled with paradox.
So you were in attendance at the MSG shows that are part of J. Maysles 'Gimme Shelter'?
Denis Liakos says:
I was , Don, after my best friend wrecked his '65 Corvair on the Cross Bronx Expressway. He put his left arm through the driver's side window, we hitched a ride to MSG with some other concert goers, and after the show went to Roosevelt Hospital where he received about 20 stitches. The bloody arm, wrapped in a towel added a rather bizarre note to the show. Ike and Tina Turner opened one night, with Janis Joplin appearing on one tune, and a great singer who never really got his props, Terry Reid, opened the other night. I think BB King may have been on the bill but memory may be flawed, imagine that? Terry Reid was offered the gig as front man in Led Zepplin, and turned it down, which gave Robert Plant that job…
My first Stones show was three years earlier, at the Brooklyn Fox theatre, with a New York DJ producing the event, Murray the K…I was 15 at the time and had only seen a couple of shows prior to the Stones- The Byrds- in Newark NJ, and at a club in Greenwich Village, a band Danny Kalb had that became The Blues Project…
check out this link to the Stones tour of '69, which culminated in the death of the sixties at Altamount:

ron a. burla says:
Was fwd'd this link by someone who obviously knows me too well. From the Mick T. era Stones, pictures of Gram w/Nudie (!), and the beloved Raoul Duke, where do I sign up for more of this delicious madness? Oh. Okay. Done.
FYI: Having seen the Rolling Stones roughly 66-70 times (1965-last Tour), I long ago gave up my nostalgia for the "Mythical '69-'74 Line Up" as their most exhilarating era. I saw THAT BAND first in '69, ("Breakfast Show", LA Forum) and every Forum date in '72. Toss in the Nicaraguan Benefit in Jan. '73 and then 4-5 more shows that week in Honolulu, and I must say I nearly wept when they parted ways. In the ensuing years, I found myself attending more out of some misplaced sense of "Loyalty" or maybe "Tradition"-Surely not a proper Rock and Roll motive. But I told myself that Ronnie's workmanlike playing created a "String Section" that favored "weaving" over ROCK GOD-LEVEL axemanship, so I told myself it was all "Okay" if he managed to keep The Glimmers together. After all, they probably wouldn't have seen the 80's w/out that level of camaraderie, so I sucked it up. Then this spring, we all had cause to revisit "Exile" w/fresh ears, and I will forever regret my acceptance/defense of the "One Mick Pony". Yeah, I'll always love the Band in all of it's incarnations, but those five years were and still are the stuff of Legend. In retrospect, even "Mythical" feels woefully inadequate. That WAS THE SHIT!
Guitarguy says:
It was. Mick Taylor brought a musicality to their live performances that wasn't there before and hasn't been since.
ron…. sounds like you could start your own blog rambling on about your 69-74 Stones experiences…. IF YOU COULD REMEMBER THEM!!!!! I'd tune in for those ruminations. 🙂
Ron Great comments!! And i loved your mention of Gram Parsons….
Great post as always JP!
mckalk says:
Stones never had the same musicality once Taylor left. What do you make of him helping out Jagger on the Exile outtakes? Love to see if as part of any 50th anniversary tour, but I read where he is not in the best of health.
keep in mind the irony of MT helping Jagger out- he also went back into the studio when "Ya- Yas" was being mastered and dubbed in a ton of guitar work at Jagger's urging, to support Keith's anemic smack- addled playing….
Cormany, M says:
Yeah, Wyman, why didn't you realize you had no room to talk before you started your BS. Taylor is still my favorite guitarist in the world and I myself have played guitar for over 40 years. Most players don't do anything that really astonishes me(which certainly doesn't mean I can play anything they can) except 2- Jimi and Mick T. Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to that band and to be honest the only Rolling Stone songs I've heard since he left were on the radio, back when I still listened to the radio. He was the perfect foil for Richards eventhough KR apparently was too stoned or jealous to realize it at the time. He preferred a total hack he could order around and not have to play like a demon just to keep up with to having the best band in the world. Now he says he wishes Taylor had been in the band all this time — right, Keith. Taylor lifted that band from a good basic blues-rock band with no right to be on the same stage show and playing wise as Cream, Hendrix, Zep, Who, some of the SF bands etc to being not only those bands equals but made them a band that really was the greatest rock n roll band in the world. Sway, Time Waits for No One, Moonlight Mile, Can't You Hear Me Knockin', the live Love in Vain, live versions of Midnight Rambler, Street Fighting Man, Gimme Shelter and any bootleg from the 72 US tour or the 73 world tour is as good as rock ever got. I love the guy, and I've loved his post-RS career just as much. Sway with Carla Olson would make him a guitar god if he never recorded another cut. Dylan, Mayall, Bruce,Groom, Olson – and scores of others plus his own solo tours prove that he's a musician for the ages and the Stones were the act who went into instant oldies mode when he left. He's continued to improve and evolve his playing and is a great live act. And then to rip the man off the way they did. The Grimmer Twins will get theirs. God bless Mick Taylor!
What about Frank Zappa…….you saying you can play up to him? Mick and Frank were the best of the greats…Jimi was OK on style, but played to much to feed back. I saw them all (Jimi only once) in their best years, by far it was Frank and Mick Taylor who impressed me the most. After Mick left the Stones they put out trash and have been living on the Golden year's legend; when Mick Taylor made them what they are remembered for.
Lynn, you'll notice in my comment I specifically said that just because I knew what a guitarist was doing did not mean I could play it. But even Zappa who no, I couldn't keep up with him, I usually knew what he was doing, I just couldn't do it. Taylor and Hendrix occasionally stepped over some kind of magical line where they found hidden frets or strings that weren't available to the rest of us. And I agree with the rest of your post. Wasn't saying Jimi and Mick were the best although Mick is to me, just that they could leave me wondering WTF? Jimi is very much a guitarist of his time and age– I rarely listen to him anymore, whereas Mick is for the ages.
Camp Freddie says:
Brillant commentary, Cormany! well said and hopefully you're right about Mick getting his due. Given your love of Jimi and MT, how do you feel about Peter Greenbaum?
The great Peter Green?
Peter Green is right there with them. It just happened that my appreciation and awe of MT at some point transcended fandom until he became like a brother I never met. Rarely happens for me, but for years there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't played lots of Mick Taylor. Good for what ailes ya!!
Mr. Greenbaum is superb though, no doubt about it. And both he and MT had self-confidence problems. Wonder how that could be?
Funny Memory…
1975, the year I graduated high school, the stones played at the chicago stadium, I think it was July. One of their props, for the song "starfucker" was a 30 foot, inflatable dick, that erected halfway through the song. We had good seats, and could see the thing was patched with numerous band-aids. story was, the notorious chicago cops had vandalized it, and the crew found an ingenious way to keep it up, hehe

When Mick Taylor was with the Rolling Stones they were the Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll Band. When he left they ceased being that and were just an average band, they never really regained the rawness of the sound he gave them. Ronnie Wood could jump and dance with Keith but he could not deliver the killer riffs that Mick Taylor emanated from his guitar.
mrrockandroll says:
I agree that Mick T was one hell of a guitar player, and the Stones made (the majority of) their greatest music with him, but those who think that Ronnie Wood is a hack are totally missing something. Anyone who plays guitar themselves will know that Ronnie Wood is an amazing player. He's also a great songwriter; listen to his solo albums "Gimme Some Neck," "I've Got My Own Album To Do," "Now Look," or "Slide on This" and if you can spot talent you'll agree.
mrrockandroll-
Actually, I do play guitar, and my comment stands.
Wood is a decent guitarist, and compared to Mick Taylor – he is a hack.
Everyone keeps pointing out The Faces and his solo works as shining examples of his guitar artistry – No one can really point to any of his guitar work when he was with the Stones that stands out worth a shit.
That's my point. He was a pig in slop, livin' the rock 'n' roll life, shakin' his ass and havin' a gas.
Woods an amazing player with the Stones? No. A hack.
Woods may have had some good licks…….in 1970!!!! What's he done since he's been with the Stones……..as you said…he's a hack…backing a hack. Since Mick left the Stones, their records prove where the Style was!!!! It's been a goner since 1974.

JP again, amazing blog, superb pics, bravo! Waiting for your future post about Ronnie W.

The photo captioned "Mick Taylor, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger" in the sunlit room with the flagstoned floor? That's tour manager Sam Cutler on the right, not Mick.
High time Mick T. got all the musical praise he deserves. But why at the expense of Keith's input? There isn't any 'smack-addled' playing at all on Ya-Yas, overdubbed or otherwise, by anyone. The two guitarists are instantly identifiable and complement each other's playing perfectly.
Some people are born soloists, virtuosos even (I've known a few) who don't necessarily come up with basic riffs, great-but-simplistic-lyrics or the building blocks of a song all that often. They have their place and the riffers have theirs.
I saw the MT Stones 3 times once in 69 and twice in 72. Nothing like them before then and definitely nothing like them since. Wood is a bozo, plain and simple. Taylor ignited the Stones and when he left, it went down to a way different level. After Taylor left, I saw the Stones in 75 at MSG in New York. Every time they went into solo, I thinking to myself…"Houston, We have a problem". When they announced Wood as a replacement for the 75 tour, I thought, hey, a name player, can't be too bad. Boy was I wrong. Of all the talent that auditioned for that role, how the hell did they come up with Wood? They could have had anyone, but chose ClownBoy. Whoever called him a hack is correct. My vote would have been ABW, (Anyone But Wood)My serious choices to replace Taylor would have been (not necessarily in this order) would have been Eric Clapton, Jimmy McCullough from Wings who had that Taylor feel and technique, Dave Edmunds, or even Steve Marriot. All far superior to Ron Wood I've seen hundreds of bar band guys who could play rings around Wood in their sleep. If they tour again, hopefully they will have rid themselves of this idiot and get themselves a good guitar player who could possibly get Keith resurrected one last time. Move Wood to bass or the bathroom but get him the hell off the six string. He just plain sucks.
Mick Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to the Stones. When he came onboard, the vacuum left by the demise of Brian Jones was filled, and more so. They went from the greatest rock & roll band in the world, to a parody of their former selves. Did I hear that a complaint that MT played too loud….not loud enough from my perspective. The difference in the quality of their work since MT left is shocking. Keith's quirky rhythm guitar work is part of the unique sound of the Stones, but he was never an exceptional soloist . MT brought the substance that no amount of flash could ever have achieved.

With a glut of weight loss products and programs on the market, it might seem that it should be easy to gain weight. But it's when you set out to actually bulk up with muscle that you begin to realize how hard it can be. So how to gain weight in a reliable and sustainable fashion?
Here are 4 simple secrets that will enhance your chances of putting on muscle mass.
Get into the habit of measuring your progress. Keep records in a log book or chart. Make note of your workout sessions and calorie intake as well as your weight and triceps or biceps dimensions. Every month or so, review your records to see how much progress you're making. Drawing a chart from the data can give a visual representation that serves both to inspire adherence to your regimen as well as a quick review of how your efforts are doing.
If you don't hit the targets you set for yourself, then you should take the time to analyze the reasons for not reaching them. Maybe the goals you've set are too high. By revising them slightly, you'll enjoy the satisfaction of reaching your milestones on time, which in turn will keep you motivated to continue trying to gain weight.
A program to put on weight and bulk up on muscle is not easy or effortless. It takes time and you need discipline and consistency to make it work. Every day will be different. Some days are easy because you're energized to workout and stick to your diet. But there will be days when you're less motivated and excited about what you do.
The key to regain motivation is to just begin. Go to the gym and start your workout routine. Within a few minutes, you'll find your excitement revived. Or if you run for exercise, just start jogging. In a bit, you'll get into the flow and things get easier. Remember your goal is to gain weight. While there are periods when your enthusiasm might flag, if you work at it you can sustain the energy for long enough.
Boredom and routine are your biggest enemies while you are on your quest for how to lose weight. Muscles grow and develop during rest periods. So it is important to rotate periods of intense exercise and workouts with adequate breaks when you take rest.
By rotating your exercise routine to focus on upper body and lower body workouts on alternate days, you will naturally give muscles a break to restore their energy reserves and grow bigger or stronger. When you're eager to gain weight and bulk muscle, it can be difficult to take a day off. But when you understand that by resting for a day, you will actually get closer to your goals faster, it will make more sense to take a day off from time to time.
You're sure you know how to gain weight, but can't seem to actually get around to doing it. The reason might be that you are afraid or reluctant to go through the process – because it's not fun. If you hate going to the gym, you'll find excuses to avoid it. If you don't like lifting weights, you'll figure out a way to not do it. And this means your results will suffer.
It's better to find something in your workout routine that is fun and enjoyable. Those exercises will help you stick with the ones you don't really enjoy. The best workouts are the ones that leave you feeling so fresh and energetic, and that produce the quickest and most visible results that you'll be motivated to do them over and over for a long period.
These tips are not specifically about gaining weight and muscle mass. They are more general advise that is applicable to just about any kind of bodybuilding. There are more specific points you can glean from muscle gaining courses and programs that will layer onto these 4 secrets – and help you achieve the ideal body of your dreams.

Noticing the symptoms of PCOS is very hard for women, some women notice it when they have gained a lot of weight. Some women notice it when they have a lot of acne and hair on their body and face. But the majority of women notice the symptoms of PCOS after their first period.
Irregular periods: if your periods are getting delayed or if you are skipping the periods, then there is a chance that you are suffering from PCOS. Women who have PCOS get less than eight periods in a year.
Heavy bleeding: if you noticing a lot of blood during urinating or if you are bleeding more than usual during periods. Then this is the sign of heavy periods which is the sign of having PCOS.
Hair growth: this is one of the most common issues which women with PCOS experience. Since women suffer from PCOS when androgen level in their body increases. Androgen is a male hormone and when it increases your facial hair will also start growing. Also, you will notice hair growth on the different part of your body.
Weight gain: more than 70 percent of women who has PCOS gain weight very fast or find it extremely hard to get rid of it. So if you are also overweight then you might want to visit the doctor, because it can be a sign of PCOS.
Male-pattern baldness: since androgens is a male hormone when it increases your hair starts to fall out from the follicles. If you are noticing thin hair on the scalp then this means that you have PCOS.
Darkening of the skin: if you develop dark patches on the neck, groin, under the breast, etc, then this means that you have PCOS.
Pros can be very harmful to your health, this is because having more than usual androgen level will not just make you bald, but it will also affect your health.
It is very important that you ovulate to get pregnant, to release the egg for fertilization it is important that you ovulate daily. According to the recent survey, more than 70 percent of women who has PCOS are suffering from infertility.
if you are overweight and you have PCOS then you have a high risk of getting heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. This is because both PCOS and obesity increases the risk of high blood sugar, low HDL, high LDL, and high blood sugar.

What is the weather like on Mars?
By Matt Williams
Image taken by the Viking 1 orbiter in June 1976, showing Mars thin atmosphere and dusty, red surface. - Image Credits: NASA/Viking 1
Mars is often referred to as "Earth's Twin", due to the similarities it has with our planet. They are both terrestrial planets, both have polar ice caps, and (at one time) both had viable atmospheres and liquid water on their surfaces. But beyond that, the two are quite different. And when it comes to their atmospheres and climates, Mars stands apart from Earth in some rather profound ways.
For instance, when it comes to the weather on Mars, the forecast is usually quite dramatic. Not only does Martian weather vary from day to day, it sometimes varies from hour to hour. That seems a bit unusual for a planet that has an atmosphere that is only 1% as dense as the Earth's. And yet, Mars manages to really up the ante when it comes to extreme weather and meteorological phenomena.
Mars' Atmosphere:
Mars has a very thin atmosphere which is composed of 96% carbon dioxide, 1.93% argon and 1.89% nitrogen, along with traces of oxygen and water. The atmosphere is quite dusty, containing particulates that measure 1.5 micrometers in diameter, which is what gives the Martian sky its tawny color when seen from the surface. Mars' atmospheric pressure ranges from 0.4 to 0.87 kPa, which is the equivalent of about 1% of Earth's at sea level.

Because of this thin atmosphere, and its greater distance from the Sun, the surface temperature of Mars is much colder than what we experience here on Earth. The planet's average temperature is -46 °C (-51 °F), with a low of -143 °C (-225.4 °F) during the winter at the poles, and a high of 35 °C (95 °F) during summer and midday at the equator.
Due to the extreme lows in temperature at the poles, 25-30% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere freezes and becomes dry ice that is deposited on the surface. While the polar ice caps are predominantly water, the Martian North Pole has a layer of dry ice measuring one meter thick in winter, while the South Pole is covered by a permanent layer that is eight meters deep.
Trace amounts of methane and ammonia have also been detected in the Martian atmosphere. In the case of the former, it has an estimated concentration of about 30 parts per billion (ppb), though the Curiosity rover detected a "tenfold spike" on December 16th, 2014. This detection was likely localized, and the source remains a mystery. Similarly, the source of ammonia is unclear, though volcanic activity has been suggested as a possibility.
Meteorological Phenomena:
Mars is also famous for its intense dust storms, which can range from small tornadoes to planet-wide phenomena. Instances of the latter coincide with dust being blown into the atmosphere, causing it to be heated up from the Sun. The warmer dust-filled air rises and the winds get stronger, creating storms that can measure up to thousands of kilometers in width and last for months at a time. When they get this large, they can actually block most of the surface from view.

Due to its thin atmosphere, low temperatures and lack of a magnetosphere, liquid precipitation (i.e. rain) does not take place on Mars. Basically, solar radiation would cause any liquid water in the atmosphere to disassociate into hydrogen and oxygen. And because of the cold and thin atmosphere, there is simply not enough liquid water on the surface to maintain a water cycle.
Occasionally, however, thin clouds do form in the atmosphere and precipitation falls in the form of snow. This consists primarily of carbon dioxide snow, which has been observed in the polar regions. However, small traces of frozen clouds carrying water have also been observed in Mars' upper atmosphere in the past, producing snow that is restricted to high altitudes.
One such instance was observed on September 29th, 2008, when the Phoenix lander took pictures of snow falling from clouds that were 4 km (2.5 mi) above its landing site near the Heimdal Crater. However, data collected from the lander indicated that the precipitation vaporized before it could reach the ground.
Aurorae on Mars:
Auroras have also been detected on Mars, which are also the result of interaction between magnetic fields and solar radiation. While Mars has little magnetosphere to speak of, scientists determined that aurorae observed in the past corresponded to an area where the strongest magnetic field is localized on the planet. This was concluded by analyzing a map of crustal magnetic anomalies compiled with data from Mars Global Surveyor.
Mars has magnetized rocks in its crust that create localized, patchy magnetic fields (left). In the illustration at right, we see how those fields extend into space above the rocks. At their tops, auroras can form. - Image Credit: NASA
A notable example is the one that took place on August 14th, 2004, and which was spotted by the SPICAM instrument aboard the Mars Express. This aurora was located in the skies above Terra Cimmeria – at geographic coordinates 177° East, 52° South – and was estimated to be quite sizable, measuring 30 km across and 8 km high (18.5 miles across and 5 miles high).
More recently, an aurora was observed on Mars by the MAVEN mission, which captured images of the event on March 17th, 2015, just a day after an aurora was observed here on Earth. Nicknamed Mars' "Christmas lights", they were observed across the planet's mid-northern latitudes and (owing to the lack of oxygen and nitrogen in Mars' atmosphere) were likely a faint glow compared to Earth's more vibrant display.
To date, Mars' atmosphere, climate and weather patterns have been studied by dozens of orbiters, landers, and rovers, consisting of missions by NASA, Roscomos, as well as the European Space Agency and Indian federal space program. These include the Mariner 4 probe, which conducted the first flyby of Mars – a two-day operation that took place between July 14th and 15th, 1965.
The crude data it obtained was expanded on by the later later Mariner 6 and 7 missions (which conducted flybys in 1969). This was followed by the Viking 1 and 2 missions, which reached Mars in 1976 and became the first spacecraft to land on the planet and send back images of the surfaces.
Since the turn of the century, six orbiters have been placed in orbit around Mars to gather information on its atmosphere – 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MAVEN, Mars Orbiter Mission and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. These have been complimented by rover and lander missions like Pheonix,Spirit and Opportunity, and Curiosity.
In the future, several additional missions are scheduled to reach the Red Planet, which are expected to teach us even more about its atmosphere, climate and weather patterns. What we find will reveal much about the planet's deep past, its present condition, and perhaps even help us to build a future there.
We have written many interesting articles about Martian weather here at Universe Today. Here's Mars Compared to Earth, It Only Happens on Mars: Carbon Dioxide Snow is Falling on the Red Planet, Snow is Falling from Martian Clouds, Surprise! Mars has Auroras Too! and NASA's MAVEN Orbiter Discovers Solar Wind Stripped Away Mars Atmosphere Causing Radical Transformation.

Whole –genome sequencing and the etiology of osteoporosis
By Dr. Joseph Lorenzo,
October 26, 2015 in Scientific Web Editor Blog
Dr. Joseph Lorenzo 5
Dr. Joseph Lorenzo
Osteoporosis is a disease with a strong genetic etiology (1). However, exactly which or how many genes are involved in the pathogenesis of this condition is unknown. Numerous studies have tried to link specific regions of the genome to traits such as bone mineral density to understand the genetic variations that predispose individuals to osteoporosis. In the past these have either used a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach or a candidate gene approach. GWAS uses single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or variations in DNA, which occur naturally throughout the genome, to identify regions of chromosomes that predispose individuals to have a specific trait such as high or low bone mineral density. The candidate gene approach examines specific variations in the DNA sequence of known genes (including the regulatory, coding and non-coding regions) to identify variations that occur more frequently with a specific trait like bone mineral density. Both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses. GWAS can identify regions in the entire genome that "link" to specific traits but not specific sequences in DNA that are causative for the development of disease. Candidate gene studies can identify specific sequences in a gene that are involved in the development of a trait but are limited to analysis of the sequences of known genes.
In contrast, whole genome sequencing uses the genetic information of the entire genome (approximately 3 billon base pairs from the DNA of the chromosomes and the mitochondria) to link specific sequence variations to human traits. The technology has evolved since 2000 when the Human Genome Project first published its rough draft at a cost of over 3 billion dollars. Currently, the cost of sequencing a human genome is approaching $1000 for a high fidelity run and it is likely that this price will drop further as the technology evolves. Reports that use whole genome sequencing to link human genetic sequence variations to bone density have now been published. The first was in 2013 and identified a mutation in the leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) gene that fully disrupts its function (2). This variation was identified in an Icelandic population and appears specific for this group since it was not detected in other European populations. More recently, a large international study (3) used the UK10K project to examine whole genome sequencing of 2,882 subjects as well as whole exome (the protein coding regions of genes) sequencing in 3,549 subjects and identified a non-coding region genetic variant in the vicinity of the engrailed homeobox-1 (EN1) gene, which associated with bone mass. This variant was relatively rare, with a minor allele frequency of 1.7% and is not represented in the current HapMap imputation panels, showing that there is still much to be learned about genetic variation in humans. Additional, albeit slightly less significant, variants around the EN1 gene were also found and these too are very rare (occurring in 1.6% to 5.8% of the population). Three of the four genetic variants associated with lumbar bone density while the fourth associated with femoral bone density. All these results demonstrate that bone mass is a complicated genetic phenomenon.
Unlike the previous Icelandic study, EN1 variants were present and segregated similarly with bone mass in the general population of subjects of European descent. Demonstrating the power of this technology, this observed effect was highly significant and fourfold larger than that previously seen at any chromosomal site in a large GWAS analysis. In addition, one of the DNA sequence variants was associated with increased bone mass and a decreased fracture risk in a large cohort study.
The authors also characterized a mouse model, which had a targeted deletion of En1. This animal had decreased bone mass with increased osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity. Additional studies found that En1 was expressed in osteoblast lineage cells but not in osteoclasts. Based on the results of all these studies, the authors concluded that En1 is an important mediator of skeletal biology.
These reports demonstrate the potential power of whole genome sequencing to identify relatively rare variants in the genome that associates with skeletal disease. However, they also demonstrate the complexity of such studies, which require a large number of subjects, sophisticated statistical genomics and advanced genome sequencing techniques. Because of these limitations, progress in identifying the multi-gene variations that may underlie more common causes of osteoporosis are not yet within reach. However, one only has to examine the rapidity with which the technology of whole genome sequencing has advanced in the last 15 years to appreciate that these challenges are apt to be overcome. We are most likely on the verge of important new insights into the genetic etiology of this disease.

Re: What Kuvvie are we?
Question for the author: does Ruth fear ridicule? I feel like he would avoid doing spontaneous things in fear of judgment, barring states of emergency. Is he serious partly to avoid being seen as vapid or silly, or am I just projecting?
I suppose it depends on what you mean by spontaneous.
Jump up on a table and dance? Likely not.
Get a random (but good) idea and act on it? Possible.
Ruth, to me, doesn't seem the type to be 'afraid of judgment', but I do think he wants to be considered more like an adult and less like a teen.
But that's just my impressions.
I think if Ruth felt like doing something spontaneous he'd either take two aspirin and lie down, or practice it in private by himself. If he became masterful at whatever it was he would have accomplished two things, he'd have learned something new that he wanted to learn and he would have retained his air of superiority which I think is very important to his character.
Who do I relate to? Tough one. I can relate to a few. I can relate to T, Sasha, and Ruth. They're all interesting characters. I couldn't see Ruth participating in the games unless it was against T, and only because he loves her and hates her for it. T fantasizes being a romantic hero to what she sees as the idealized form in the red dragon, and Sasha loves to explore, and finds everyone fascinating. That's just my take on things so far, though. CC doesn't spill herself easily to anyone, and Jo just loves to enjoy the moment. Still lots to take in and I certainly look forward to more exploring the characters of this bunch.
Loves T and hates her for it. That is perhaps the best summary of his possible feelings I have heard to date. Good show. I see this is your first post, congratulations. You can put in an appearance in the introductions area if you feel like receiving well wishes and balloons from everyone. Be forewarned it gets nutty in there.
If I told you I was a liar, would you believe me?
