GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida's flu bug is cause for alarm, at least for coach Urban Meyer and his staff.
Running back Jeff Demps, tight end Aaron Hernandez and defensive end Jermaine Cunningham were isolated in the days leading up to Saturday's game against Tennessee.
Although Meyer did not say any of the players had swine flu, he certainly was worried the devastating virus could hit his top-ranked team.
"It is a panic level of proportion I've never seen before," Meyer said Sunday, a day after his team's 23-13 victory. "That's coming from me. You hear about, I think, Wisconsin had 40 players. Ole Miss had 20 players. My wife, with her great insight, said, 'Do you realize the swine flu and everything is hitting the Florida campus last week.' My gosh."

Jennifer Ehle Threw Up After First Nude Scenes
By WENN on 04 February 2013

Picture: Jennifer Ehle The 68th Venice Film Festival - Day 4 - Contagion - Premiere- Arrivals Venice, Italy - 03.09.11
Actress Jennifer Ehle was so upset by her risque nude scenes in her first Tv series The Camomile Lawn she was physically sick.
The Zero Dark Thirty star, who found fame alongside Colin Firth in the Bbc adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, now regrets taking her clothes off on camera as she feels she was too young to deal with the pressure.
Ehle was only 23 when she stripped for the 1992 British series, which also starred her mother Rosemary Harris, and insists she didn't realise the role would require so much nudity.
She tells British newspaper The Sun, "I wish I'd not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, The Camomile Lawn. When I took the job, I did not realise there would be so much nudity. But no one forced me to do it.
"I played the young Calypso and had some very full-on scenes. I went home one day and was physically sick. It never occurred to me that I was too young to deal with it all. I thought I was so grown up, because I had lived on my own for years and years."

Support for girls' post-primary and secondary education in Burkina Faso
UNICEF Burkina Faso
Since 2000, Burkina Faso has been committed to ensuring access to quality education for all children (EFA). The education sector monitoring indicators show a good trend in the level of gross enrollment rates and equitable access of girls and boys to school. For the 2018-2019 school year, the gross enrollment ratio (GER) was 89.5% (89.9% for girls) in primary education and 50.6% (54.2% for girls) in lower secondary education, compared with 44% and 14% respectively in 2000. Despite this progress, the country still had 52.1% of primary school-age children and 50.3 % of secondary school-age adolescents who did not attend school in 2014. Projections estimate more than 3 million children out of school in 2021, and more than 50 percent of children aged 6 to 16 are concerned. The majority of these out-of-school children are girls who live in rural areas and come from poor families.
In addition, the insecurity facing the country and the internal displacement of populations are straining social services in general and the education system in particular. Thus, in July 2021, the education system recorded 2,244 schools closed, affecting 305,000 students according to OCHA (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). The prolonged school break following the closure of schools linked to the COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in children dropping out of school with little chance of returning to school. In response to this situation of educational disruption, the government has implemented a national schooling strategy for students in areas with strong security challenges 2019-2024, to offer alternative local or remote educational services mainly by radio. These devices do not, however, make it possible to cover all out-of-school children, especially girls.
The L'OCCITANE Foundation is once again committed to UNICEF to support the education of children in the Center-West region, Burkina Faso. The main objective of this 5 years project is to eventually promote access, completion and academic success for children in vulnerable situations, including more than 1,000 girls and about 50 boys in middle and high school.
Specifically, this project will cover all the costs related to schooling (school fees, school supplies, feeding support, means of transport, solar lamps, reception in accommodation centers for girls in difficult situations in their families, tutoring, etc.). It will also make it possible to set up activities aimed at improving the school environment for girls through the establishment of menstruation management systems, awareness-raising against gender-based violence in schools, teacher training in pedagogy. child and gender sensitive, support for the care of victims of gender-based violence. Another axis that the project wishes to focus on is social mobilization to support girls' education, in particular sensitization of the community for the abandonment of social practices detrimental to the education and educational success of girls (marriages and pregnancies). early, overloading of domestic work etc.) because unfortunately these practices still exist in the country particularly in rural areas. Finally, the project will set up activities that will allow girls to increase their skills on topics related to their everyday life (responsibility for early marriages and pregnancies, management of household chores, speaking out, leadership, etc. )
2021-2022 Budget 240,159 euros
2021-2022 Result 500 children supported
History of the Partnership
Since 2017, the L'Occitane Foundation has collaborated with UNICEF* to promote girls' education in Burkina Faso. A first phase of this partnership made it possible to support the schooling of a class of 450 vulnerable girls from 6th to 3rd year. For more information see here.
*UNICEF does not endorse any company, brand, product or service.
By funding screening, treatments, and glasses, and supporting ophthalmologist training and research, the L'OCCITANE Foundation is helping combat avoidable blindness.

Rue Saint-Denis (podendo ser referida em português como Rua de São Dinís) é uma das ruas mais antigas de Paris. Sua rota foi colocada pela primeira vez no século I pelos romanos, e depois estendida para o norte, na Idade Média. Desde a Idade Média até os dias atuais, a rua tornou-se notória como um lugar de prostituição. Seu nome deriva do fato de ser a rota histórica de Saint-Denis.

A rua se estende até o 1.º arrondissement e a Rue de Rivoli ao sul e, segue o 2º arrondissement e o boulevard Saint-Denis, ao norte. Ele corre paralela ao boulevard de Sébastopol.

História
A antiga via romana (estrada de Flandres), levando a Saint-Denis, Pontoise e Ruão competiu com a "rota de Senlis" (veja a rue Saint-Martin), mas ganhou uma vantagem em relação com a demolição do Grand Pont (veja Pont au Change) e o desenvolvimento da abadia real de Saint-Denis, se tornando o caminho triunfal para entradas reais à capital.

Ladeada por casas do ano de 1134 em diante, a rua tem suportado os nomes alternativos de Sellerie de Paris e Sellerie de la Grande Rue (século XIII); grand'rue de Paris; grande rue ou rue des Saints Innocents et grant chaussée de Monsieur / Monseigneur Saint-Denis (século XIV). Durante a Revolução Francesa, era conhecida como a rue de Franciade.

A rua foi um dos centros da Rebelião de junho de 1832, imortalizada no romance Os Miseráveis, de Victor Hugo, e que é referido no livro como o "Épico da Rue Saint-Denis".

Atividades
Hoje o bairro em torno da rue Saint-Denis é composto sobretudo de sex shops, com as partes situadas entre a rue Réaumur e a boulevard Saint-Denis notórias como um lugar de prostituição. Também contém algumas lojas de roupas, bares e restaurantes, bem como a igreja de Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles, um banco, e o edifício Chambre des notaires. Os bares The Frog e Rosbif Brew Pub estão localizados aqui, um de apenas um número muito pequeno de produtores de cerveja de barril acondicionado na França.

Richard John Lee was born on Thanksgiving morning, November 24, 1983 in San Diego, California, the fifth of Bob and Penny Lee's six children. Richard was born with a rare (three documented cases in the world) chromosome deletion, which was later diagnosed as interstitial deletion of the long arm of #11 chromosome. He scored 1 out of 10 on the Apgar Test for newborns. Eighteen specialists evaluated Richard and came up with a diagnosis that listed him as a "Failure to Thrive Baby" because of his inability to move fingers, arms, or legs, and to independently suck in nourishment. They predicted that he would die within three months. They also said that he had brain damage, would be both deaf and blind, and live in a vegetative state. Since he would have no quality of life, they recommended that he be placed in an institution, forgotten about, and allowed to die. Older brother Robert said: "Mama, we can't do that to Richard. If he's only going to be with us for a little while, he has to know that he's a part of our family, and that we love him." We brought him home on Christmas Eve, with the knowledge that he would only have about two more months to live. Thus began the roller coaster ride of life for the Lee Family. That three months stretched to thirty-five years! Richard passed away late in the evening on Saturday, January 12, 2019, after struggling with a severe bout of bilateral pneumonia in December. He was found by staff member of the Topham's Care Center in Orem where he had been living after he had been discharged from the hospital with a feeding tube. Prior to that, he had been living at the Provo Care Center.
Richard had a special spirit about him that touched the lives of the people in his circle of influence. This included his immediate and extended family members, Church family, friends, and multiple medical professionals. Time and time again, Richard managed to beat the odds against death, so his death at this time was a shock to all of us.
Richard rode a school bus to many programs designed especially to help those who were physically and mentally challenged. With countless hours of physically therapy, he was able to take his first step at age 4. He made up for lost time by constantly running from here to there whenever he had the chance. He endured over 100 surgeries and countless hospital stays. Through it all, he was nearly always happy. His love for Disney movies knew no bounds. While living in San Diego, he would wait for his dad to come home from work to go to Disneyland. He loved riding the roller coasters. Even going down hills while riding in the car, he would hold his arms up high in the air and have a big smile on his face.
We learned Richard could read during a visit with Grandma Ellis in Kelseyville, California. While we were playing Scrabble, Richard reached in and started grabbing tiles. To our surprise, he had spelled words that were important to him: Cheerios, Pinocchio, Alice (for Alice in Wonderland), Peter Pan, and even spelled his name. Later, Aladdin, and Return of Jafar became favorites as well as Lion King and Mulan. This opened up a whole new world for him. Richard got his own computer when his dad's office relocated. He immediately typed entire phrases, such as: "I want popcorn." "I want to go to bed." "Mama loves King Richard." This was amazing until Richard discovered that he could pull the keys off the keyboard.
King Richard communicated using American Sign Language—Richard's style. Instead of just shaking his hand up and down for "yes", he was emphatic with one strong downward motion. While attending a meeting for special ed teachers, his teacher found herself responding with this same strong downward motion to a question that had been asked of her. It brought a few raised eyebrows from her co-workers, but it made all of us realize, he spoke in his own ways. He always got us to understand what he needed. Recently, his "yeses" simply became the "thumbs up" gesture. If he didn't like what you were asking him to do, he simply would cover his ears and turn away from you.
Richard also loved FedEx. While riding a bike at school one day (with an empty FedEx box in the bike basket), the loop of his shoelace caught on the bike pedal. Richard lost his balance, fell, and broke both bones in his right arm - requiring surgery. One of the aides told her brother, a FedEx employee, about the accident. He, in turn, told his boss, who mentioned it to the President of FedEx. The President then checked to make sure Richard was back in school and sent a truck load of FedEx items and a beautiful letter thanking Richard for being such a wonderful advertiser for their company. One of the items sent was a "stress ball" that Richard used for therapy to regain strength in his arm. It had the FedEx logo on it. He never stopped liking empty FedEx boxes and trucks, but he never got on a bike again.
Richard had his first grand mal seizure when he was 17. This brought about another group of medical professionals. Fortunately, medications helped to keep the seizures under control.
After earning his Certificate of Completion from Timpview High School when he aged out of the program, Richard was placed in Hidden Hallow Care Center as his mom required vertebrae fusions in her neck. Richard developed pancreatitis and had a lengthy hospital stay. When he was discharged with multiple medications he was moved to the Provo Care Center. He was there over 10 years. He worked with the Daybreak program, shredding paper for pet stores to use in cages and other simple tasks.
April, 2018 was the beginning of a tough medical year for Richard. He endured hernia surgery, bleeding ulcers, kidney issues, extreme weight loss (lowest weight of 86 pounds), an upper respiratory infection and pneumonia. After his 2-week ICU visit in December, he moved to Topham's Care Center in Orem as he now had a feeding tube. On his final day of life he seemed happy and spent the day walking around and exploring areas of his new residence. The exact cause of death is unknown.
Richard is survived by his parents, J. Robert "Bob" Lee and Penny Kathleen Ellis Lee; Siblings: Amy Lee Gabbitas ("Rick" Richard Wayne Gabbitas) of Springville, Utah, Robert Ellis Lee ("Eddie" Edita Alumbaugh Lee) of Bellevue, Washington, Laura Lee Lund (Matthew Decker Lund) of San Diego, California, Randolph Thomas Lee (Tiffany Gross Lee) of Newberry, Florida, Ryan Andrew Lee (Victoria Jasmine Vernon Lee) of Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents respectively: Randolph Franklin Ellis (Mildred Wray Thiese Ellis) and Thomas Wilford Lee (Carolyn Thompson Lee), and many aunts and uncles.
Richard was, and is loved by his family and the many people in his circle of "friends", including medical professionals who grew to love him over the years. The family wishes to express our gratitude and appreciation to all those who cared and served Richard. He will be missed.

I remember when I was always going home to see my parents and Richard Lee was outside at Provo care center and he always had a smile on his face
Courtney Allridge
I was staff at Daybreak for over 3 years. I loved Richard. He always made smile and laugh. My favorite memories of Richard would have to be finding Richard outside pulling grass. He would sign to staff that he had to use the restroom and then sneak outside where he would sit and pull the grass. The was a pretty good size area of the lawn that barely had grass and was just dirt. Richard would stay put pulling grass until you got right up to and asked him to go inside at this time he would get up and lunge away from you and run inside. Sometimes covering his ears. I have many memories of Richard. I loved that sometimes more then often. I would try encouraging Richard to eat more of his lunch which often was thrown under his table or he would make a mad dash to throw some of it away (never his goldfish) in the garbage can. We would ask him to eat more or not to throw something away or asking him to pick up what was thrown on the floor and Richard would fold his ears over and cover his ears so he couldn't hear us. Sometimes I would say Richard I know you can still hear me. He would turn his head away hard as if saying no I can't hear you or don't talk to me and would look away ears still covered. I was lucky enough to still see Richard from time to time because I switched jobs and worked for one of the facilities that went to Daybreak. I will miss him greatly. Richard was awesome. I'm so grateful that I got to know Richard. I'm am sorry for your loss. Richard blessed so many life's. He will be greatly missed.
Marie Mile
I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of Richard Lee. There will come a time when death and mourning will be no more. (Revelation 21:3,4) This is what our loving God, Jehovah, has promised. We also have the hope of seeing our loved ones again. (John 5:28,29) May those verses bring you some comfort in your time of mourning.

May you feel him around you frequently and find comfort in knowing he is free of pain and with you forever.

Let's take the proceedings up a few notches for the Group K website community and the 'It's A Keenan Thing' facebook group, along with other concerned citizen SLAVES around the world – and look toward uncovering our 'corporate identities'.
We have some members with smarts, but if we can move them on up to becoming private investigators [Magnum-sized P.I.'s – even] it will provide us with more eyes and ears on the ground globally; to shake the whole rickety crooked corporate structure.
Just as you can read between the lines in newspapers on any given day, you can discover clues and truths slipped in by the 'Powers That Be' – if you look hard enough in terms of what is actually going on. Additionally, you will find that pertinent disclosure information can also be found in movies.
One exceptional example in terms of a movie revealing the hidden side of financial world is the classic film; The Wizard of Oz.
Follow The Yellow Brick Road
The following extracts are from a commentary of The Wizard of Oz, which is the real meaning of the film.
As such, The Wizard of Oz, was an allegory for the new state of affairs in America in the1930's following the stock market crash (and manipulated withdrawal of the money supply) that led to the factual bankruptcy of the United States Government following immediately thereafter.
After the bankruptcy, Kansas was no longer just plain old "Kansas," it was now "KS", an artificial corporate venue of the bankrupt United States, newly established "federal territory," part of the "Federal Zone," and Dorothy and Toto were in "this state" now.
On her journey in this unfamiliar land, Dorothy meets up with three unusual "characters," each having a different problem or challenge as portrayed on the silver screen; but their true identity has been decoded and it follows:
The first was the Scarecrow (a man of straw – a front) and "he" identified his straw-man persona for Dorothy; "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking. Of course, I am not bright about doing things."
And in his classic song, "If I only had a Brain," the Scarecrow / Straw Man succinctly augured; "I'd unravel every riddle for every 'individuadle' (individual) in trouble or in pain."
Today, in light of Redemption, we would translate it as; "Once one discovers that his straw-man exists, all political and legal mysteries, complexities and conditions are resolved or understood.
And if one takes legal title (control) of his 'Straw-man', he becomes the 'authorized representative' of the 'straw-man'; able to accept and discharge (settle) all commercial affairs as in Oz (the new commercial world – aka the MATRIX). This is because the 'straw-man' has no BRAINS, and no hands nor fingers by which to grasp a pen in order to write a check, so to speak; to pay a fine, fee, tax or debt!"
The second character was the Tin Man, or T.I.N. man (also identified as; Tax payer Identification Number"). The Tin Man was a hollow man of metal, a "vessel," a "vehicle" – these were at the time, newly created commercial code words for the straw-man. Just like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man had no brain and no heart. Both were "artificial persons."
One of the definitions of "tin" in Webster's dictionary is "counterfeit." The Tin Man also represented the mechanical and heartless aspect of commerce and commercial law. Just like they say in the Mafia; "It's nothing personal, it's just business." And in another line of work not dissimilar similar to the Mafia, the business of lawyering; they have the attitude that it's nothing personal, "bidness is bidness."
The heartless Tin Man also carried an axe, the traditional symbol for God, i.e., modern commercial law in most earlier dominant civilizations, including fascist states. In the words of the Tin Man, expressing relief after Dorothy had oiled his rusty points and parts said; "I've held that axe up for ages."
The word "ace" is etymologically related to the word "axe," and in a deck of cards the only one above the King is the Ace. i.e. God. One of the "Axis" Powers of World War II, Italy, was a fascist state. The symbol for fascism is the "fasces," a bundle of rods with an ax bound up in the middle and its blade projecting. The fasces may be found on the reverse side of the American Mercury-head Dime (in Roman deity 'Mercury' was the God of Commerce).
It can also be found on the wall behind, and on each side of, the speaker's podium in the US Senate (each gilded fasces is approximately six feet in height), and at the base of the US Senate are two crossed fasces.
The third character that Dorothy met was the Cowardly Lion, or "King of Beasts," and as the most feared of all animals in the jungle, was lacking in 'courage.'
The Lion is symbolic of the once fearless American people, who have since lost their courage. Yes, there are a lot of "hot talkers" out there, just listen to your local radio talk shows.
American men love to talk, but not many have the courage to "DO" a damn thing! The American people are scared of the corporate Federal System and local revenue collectors, i.e. cops and judges, in their so-called courtrooms (tribunals) of justice (commerce).
After your first few encounters with the "Just-Us" system, believing there was 'justice' in the courts, you probably lost some of your courage too. And you may have not known it, but the IRS [or insert your country's tax department name here] has been dealing with only your 'Straw-man' (debtor) strictly under the laws of commerce, and they are just like the Tin Man; heartless.
After Dorothy and her three companions made their way to Oz, they had learned that they had to go see the 'Wizard.'
In order to find the Wizard, they had to just "follow the yellow brick road," (gold is known as 'yellow bricks' and are melted into 'ingots!') All one has to do is follow the trail of America's stolen gold, and you will find the thief who stole it.
Between 1916 and 1933, most of America's gold was rounded up by the 'privately owned' Federal Reserve Banks and shipped off to the Fed owners in England and Germany. The reason for this was that Federal Reserve Notes could be redeemed in gold, and the use of Federal Reserve Notes carried an interest penalty that could only be paid in gold.
The American people were defrauded into trading their gold for (worthless) paper with green ink on it, and our previous currency, the United States Notes, carried no such interest requirement, but such was the bargain that came with the Federal Reserve Notes. The reason why JFK was murdered was because he was re-issuing United States Notes – interest free!
Go to any coin store and see or buy a 1963 U.S. (not Federal Reserve Note).
Take notice of where it reads "UNITED STATES NOTE" not "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE":
When the bankruptcy was declared in 1933, Americans were required (misdirected) to turn in all gold coinage, gold bullion, and gold certificates by May 1st, May Day, (the birthday of Communism in Bavaria in 1776, the birthday of the IRS, and celebrated worldwide as the International Workers Holiday," (a holy day to the Wizard and his tribe).

What About Other Countries?
Most of our attention has been focused on what is happening in the united States and the United States Inc. and not on the rest of the countries of the world. So let's take a few moments and look around at where each of us lives.
Start by looking at your driver's license, national identity card, passport, car registration, house and land titles and generally anything that YOUR government has issued to you.
In all incorporated countries YOUR NAME will be in capital letters. That tells you that YOUR government has created a "straw man" / "straw woman" in your given name and that it now considers you to be a SLAVE (and in the U.S. "an ENEMY OF THE CORPORATE STATE").
Now this is a rude awakening for most people, so now go out and tell all your friends and people you meet to look at their documents to see their NAMES in capital letters, too, and tell them what that means is they too are SLAVES to the corporate government (New World Order).
Remember that as SLAVES, you own NOTHING! Look closely at all deeds and title documents, and you will probably find that you are only a "tenant" not the "owner."
SLAVES CANNOT OWN ANYTHING! You have been scammed beyond belief!
Here's the "fun part": Now that you know that your country is run by a "Corporation" and CEO (not Presidents or Prime Ministers) under Admiralty (UCC Commercial) Law, you need to find out "WHO OWNS THE CORPORATION."
This may take some digging. Many Catholic countries are owned by the Vatican which owns the Crown in London (City of London – a Corporation), and thus many Commonwealth countries are domiciled there. Some are registered in island tax havens, while others may have been incorporated locally.
The UN was set up by the French Government, and the UN owns the IMF, which owns the United States of America Inc. which is bankrupt, as are many other incorporated countries.
Now all corporations have SHAREHOLDERS, so WHO ARE THEY? They also must have a Board of Directors, so WHO ARE THEY? Now if you can find out this, things will get very interesting indeed!
How about the Corporation's Annual Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statements? All Corporations have to file these statements somewhere.
Perhaps the UN? If there is a debit, there must be a credit. This is what the Collateral Accounts are all about!
The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) is supposed to facilitate balances between countries. Can you find this information?
You may also have fun digging into WHO OWNS YOUR CENTRAL BANK? Dig deep and you will probably find that it is a banking cartel controlled by the Rothschild's or their local stooges, Knights Templar of Freemasons or BAR members, but not by your country's citizens. Do your research. Find out the truth. It will shatter any complacency!
This example details an investigation into the corporate government of New Zealand:
The New Zealand Government: A United States SEC Registered Corporation
Now comes an even more fun part! Let's create a database of these crooks and slavers!
It is time to expose them. You and the rest of the world have a right to know!
Let's broadcast it! Shame on them – let's add them to the Group K No Fly List!
We need the assistance of all of you in exposing this global scam, so start asking questions of your so-called government. It all has to be on record somewhere. And if not or if they cannot prove the legitimacy, then they are illegal / unlawful and should be brought to a corporate court (international court of justice) to be charged with fraud along with many other legal infringements.
So please join in the fun and share your findings for YOUR country, state, county, city or whatever they claim to have incorporated. Name the culprits. Shine the spotlight on them. Tell them "THE JIG IS UP!"
Then read Judge Anna's postings on how to reclaim YOUR CORPORATE NAME into "your name." She has shared a step by step process by which to do this.
There are also other ways of tracing back the "Trust" that YOUR Government set up in YOUR NAME and the CREDIT balance that is there. In the U.S. this is done using your Social Security Number that can be traced back to your "Trust" Number and Account that is listed on the NY Stock Exchange!
On the front side of your Social Security Card is your public-side Account Identity and on the reverse side of this card is a red serial number, signifying your private-side (hiding your "Security Trust Account") which creates the Money Bonds that the bank gets and then turns into their Money Credit, which they loan to You-a-Corporation franchise, or to their fortune 500 Corporations.
I bet you didn't know that, huh? DIG! DIG! DIG!
Other countries may use your I.D Number and list your "Trust" overseas somewhere. FIND IT! Just keep asking the right questions. PUT THE PRESSURE ON THEM!
…and you may just find that there is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow!
Good luck to all of you – you Magnum-sized P.I's

Hanson frontman Taylor warns Justin Bieber: Ditch the hangers on
By Katie | June 6, 2011
Taylor, the frontman of former teenie-bop band Hanson has warned Justin Bieber to stay true to himself and roll with the punches if he wants to survive teenage fame.
'I don't think you can survive it if you don't know why you are really there – if it's someone else's vision of you,' Taylor told me during a catch up over the weekend.
'With the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber, I hope they've got their hands wrapped around their careers and they are directing it and steering it because if not, you find yourself surrounded by people who don't necessarily have your best interests in mind.'
The 28-year-old dad-of-four and former long-haired pretty boy can also relate to the taunts aimed at Bieber.
'If you are putting yourself up on a pedestal, you have to realise someone is going to try and shoot you in the head with a BB every once in a while and knock you off the wall.'
Taylor's empathy comes after 17-year-old Justin allegedly suffered a run-in with one fan last year over homophobic taunts.
'That's showbiz,' says Taylor, who is in London with brothers Isaac, 30 and Zac, 25, to promote their album Shout It Out.
They start their run of five gigs at King's College London on Monday.

Neil Gordon Munro (1863–1942) was a Scottish physician and anthropologist. Resident in Japan for almost fifty years, he was notable as an early archaeologist and one of the first Westerners to study the Ainu people of Hokkaido.

Biography
Educated in the University of Edinburgh Medical School M.B., C.M. 1888 and M.D. 1909, he traveled in India before settling in Yokohama as director of Yokohama Juzen Hospital which was one of the largest western-style hospitals in Asia in 1893. From 1930 until his death he lived among the Ainu in Nibutani village in Hokkaido. Film footage he took of the local people survives.

Between 1908 and 1914 he sent more than 2,000 objects (including archaeological ceramics, metalwork, shells, bones and stone tools; musical instruments, Buddhist objects and Ainu material) to the Royal Scottish Museum (today's National Museum of Scotland) in Edinburgh.

Public relations is a term that refers to the management of communication between an entity such as an organization or a celebrity, and external actors such as customers or clients. It is concerned with reputation building, and is often considered to be a subset to marketing, advertising, or corporate communication.

History of Public Relations in India
Public Relations, despite being over a century old across the world, began in India in the 1950s, when a group of public relations practitioners formed the PR Society of India in 1958 in Bombay under the leadership of Kali H. Mody.  He led the body till 1960,Arthashastra followed by Arthashastra S. Mandietta who was president in 1961 till 1965, with F.S. Mulla who became the President from 1966 to 1969.  It was under Mr Farruk S. Mulla, this informal body was registered under the Indian Societies Act XXVI of 1961, in 1966, and he became the founder President of Public Relations Society of India.

At the same time, around 1965, another body, the Public Relations Circle had been founded and registered in Calcutta.  It was the first-ever association of professional PR practitioners in Eastern India.

In 1968, the first All India Public Relations Conference was held in Mumbai in 1968, where the members of the Calcutta Public Relations Council decided to disband the regional body, and merged with the Public Relations Society of India to strengthen the national body. Another significant contribution of this conference was adoption of the International Code of Ethics (also called Code of Athens) on 21 April 1968.

The founder President Farrok S. Mulla was able to extend the reach of the PR body by establishing Regional Chapters at Delhi, Madras, and Calcutta.

One of the landmark achievement of this professional body of PR practitioners was to bring together leading international PR experts to India when Bombay hosted the 9th Public Relations World Congress from 19 to 23 January 1982 with active participation of International Public Relations Association (IPRA).  At that time, the PRSI was headed by Mr K.S. Neelakandan, Director Public Relations with Pfizer Limited, who was also the Executive Chairman of the World Congress.

Though there were several individuals and small companies which started even before that, they offered PR with the limited scope of media relations only. It was only natural that the entrepreneurs who began these services came from a background of journalism, seen as a natural hunting ground for the nascent PR industry .

Growth of Public Relations in India

According to the report by PRCAI titled 'State of the Industry Survey 2019' , PR industry in India grew 12% to reach Rs 1,600 cr in 2019. Though conventional Media Relations continues to be the key revenue source for agencies, the revenue share of digital and social media services increased from 12 per cent in FY18 to 16 per cent in FY19. According to the report, among sectors, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Information Technology (IT), Travel and Government (both central and state) have driven the industry's growth, with a 44% contribution to the revenue.

Public Relations as a practice has grown over the years with many advertising agencies including PR services in their portfolio besides mushrooming of independent PR consultants to full-fledged PR agencies.

However, the growth can be attributed to several professional bodies who in their own right had been engaging communicators by conducting conferences, seminars, workshops and upgrading their skills.

Some of these professional bodies include Public Relations Society of India, Public Relations Council of India, Association of Business Communicators of India, Public Relations Consultants Association of India, and Global Forum for Public Relations.

Since 2006, the Public Relations Council of India has been organising the "Global PR Conclave" where veteran PR practitioners are inducted into the Hall of Fame and Chanakya Awards are also conferred to various individuals and organisations for their PR campaigns under diverse categories.

In 2010, The Holmes Report, an international report that rates PR agencies across the globe, awarded Blue Lotus Communications the Indian Consultancy of the year for 2010.

The Holmes Report also awarded the consultancy of the year award for 2011 to Corporate Voice | Weber Shandwick. Corporate Voice Weber Shandwick's campaign for Gillette India won India's first PR Lion at Cannes in 2010.

In 2011, IPRCCA, India Public Relations and Corporate Communications Awards (IPRCCA), instituted an award for PR agencies.

In 2015, Indian PR Industry professionals came together to create School of Communications & Reputation (SCoRe) - India's first post-graduate institute in public relations and corporate communications. In 2015, the Public Relations Consultants Association of India (PRCAI) endorsed the PG Diploma at the School of Communications & Reputation making it the only Public relations programme in the country endorsed by the association.

In 2017, Marketing Interactive awarded "Most Creative PR Stunt - South East Asia" in PR Awards 2017 to the Indian PR firm ARM Digital, for their campaign "Tea for Trump".

In 2018, Adfactors PR became the first Indian firm to have a revenue upwards of Rs 150 crore per annum and stood at 70th rank in The Holmes Report's Top 250 Global PR Agency Ranking The largest competitor to Adfactors PR is PRNews Journal, as of 2018.
In 2021 Public Media Solution is growing fast and holding no.1 position under Reputation Management Agencies.

In 2018, Avian WE, formerly known as Avian Media, founded by Nikhil Khanna in 2004, and headquartered in Delhi merged into the US-based PR agency WE Communications as a strategic investment. Avian WE was awarded Giant PR Consultancy of the year 2021 by IPRCCA. Avian WE was also awarded Agency of the Year (Large) 2021 by Kaleido Awards.

PR Controversies in India

Satyam Scam

On January 7, 2009, Ramalinga Raju, the erstwhile chairman of Satyam Ltd., India's leading IT firm, made an admission of conscious fraud & misreporting perpetrated by him over several years. The media who had eulogized him till then, suddenly turned on him with a vengeance, conscious that they had also failed in their duty as watchdogs of businesses. This crisis, coincided with the peak of the global crisis and held the potential to snowball into a credibility & trust issue for brand India and its IT firms, where several billion dollars worth of services were being outsourced every year. The crisis also impacted several companies associated with Satyam including EMRI (Emergency Medical Response Institute), a not-for-profit endeavour (for running free ambulance services) in which Satyam had committed 5% of running costs with the balance 95% coming from various state governments.

However, the Indian government took quick action and set up an interim board consisting of industry stalwarts for the company to assess the true worth of Satyam and to seek a suitable investor & management. The swiftly conducted and fiercely contested bid was won by Mahindra & Mahindra and Satyam was merged with a group IT company.

Radiagate Scam
After the global slowdown that hit Indian Public relation agencies in 2008, it took a further hit in November 2010 due to what has come to be known as the 'Radiagate' scam. Open Magazine in an exposé, covered the story of Niira Radia's nefarious power-dealings. An Income Tax phone tap collected more than 5000 tapes and hundreds of these tapes were leaked and found their way into Outlook magazine's website. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) interrogated Radia several times and as a fallout of the tapes, the Telecom minister, A. Raja, with whom Radia had close links was also forced to resign.  Several prominent journalists like Barkha Dutt and Vir Sanghvi were also in the middle of the quagmire, caught in power-lobbying conversations with Radia.

The project "Integration into the Labour Market" is scheduled to be two years long. This project is focused on a group of unemployed adults and young people with no or minimal work experience and should help them to improve their employability and competitive advantage on both the Czech and European labor market. ITC plays the role of the coordinating organization in this process, which will send, after substantial language and cultural training and preparation, 28 participants to our partner organization for the duration of 5 weeks. ITC cooperates on this project with 6 other partner organizations within these countries: Great Britain, Portugal, Spain and Italy. All our partner institutions have many years experience with European projects and are able to provide good work placement with monitoring to our applicants in the following fields: Mechanical Engineering, Construction and Architecture, Logistics and Transportation, Ecology and Environment and Ecological Agriculture, IT. These internships will take place in the period from September 2009 to April 2011.
The goals of the project are: to improve the integration of Czech citizens into the European Labor market, to gain valuable work experience for our applicants, to improve their language skills therefore improving their chances of finding job, to gain a valuable working immigration experience within Euro zone and to become familiar not only with the conditions of different labor markets but also getting to know different cultural backgrounds found across the European Union. The participants will continue to be monitored some time after the end of the project in order to obtain necessary feedback, verification and evaluation of the project's success. ITC will publish the project results in the media and will also communicate t with Eures bureaus, other employment bureaus and other authorities to offer our data and results to help to set up a reference database for future projects.
During the project we regularly communicated with the Prague employment office. Unemployed people that were interested to learn and were also able to communicate at least on a basic level in one foreign language were offered the chance to participate on a work internship abroad and squire valuable work experience there. It is important for the dissemination that people had the chance to learn more about the short term internship and the advantages it offers them which also includes confirmation about their participation into Europass. We also informed recent university graduates about this project through leaflets and through university departments for graduates, since this project is for people actively seeking employment, excluding university students. Several selected high schools were also informed about the project, giving the chance to participate also to a recent high school graduates. This way they can experience work in their chosen field which should help them decide between working and continuing with their education on a university level.

Caregivers of older relatives face 'nothing but challenges' during COVID

Dave Fuller at his grandmother's house in Stratford, Conn., on Saturday Dec. 19, 2020. Fuller is a 36-year-old Stratford resident whose marketing career was taking off until the pandemic hit and he lost his job. He had to further scale back his freelance work when his mom died in June and he became sole caregiver for his 91-year-old grandmother who has advanced dementia and Parkinson's. He now spends most of his days caring at her at her home a half-mile down the road from his and trying to get aid from the state.

Things were going well for Dave Fuller at the beginning of the year. The 36-year-old Stratford resident owned his own home, had his master's degree, was working a job he loved doing communications for Monroe College in New Rochelle and had some additional marketing gigs on the side.
Then coronavirus hit. Like so many others, Fuller found his life turned upside down. Not only did he lose his job, but his mother died of a heart attack in June, leaving him as the sole caregiver of his 91-year-old grandmother who has advanced dementia and Parkinson's disease.
"I'm finally living for myself, doing well for myself," he said. "Then this falls upon (me). There's no course for that. It's a dive off the deep end and then throw COVID-19 on top of it."
Fuller now spends his days caring for his grandmother, who lives a half-mile up the road in her own home, while balancing freelance work and trying to get her assistance from the state. He has to help his grandmother with most basic tasks, like eating and getting dressed, on top of managing her bills and legal paperwork.
Fuller has been trying to get his grandmother into a home or find some aid for her, but COVID has slowed everything down. Even getting power of attorney for her has been a challenge.
"Something that may take a month or two to accomplish now takes three to six months to accomplish," Fuller said. "There's not a lot of information. Elder care is tough even without coronavirus...Between this situation and the overall pandemic, it's just been tough. A year ago looking into 2020, I was like 'this is going to be a great year.' It's been nothing but challenges and nothing but suffering."
COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into the already difficult task of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers find themselves isolated while at home with a loved one all day. Many are worried about COVID exposure from hiring outside help or if they leave their home, so they have no time to recharge.

"The people I'm really concerned about are the people at home with loved ones who don't get a break," said Donna Spellman, executive director of River House Adult Day Center in Greenwich. "The aging process has challenges in and of itself...(Some aging adults) need to be watched 24/7. Some (caregivers) are nervous about additional support. They don't want people coming and going in their homes...They are so isolated and trying to go at it alone. The rate of anxiety, depression and plain fear is off the charts."
Spellman said River House has also seen a number of members die this year, not from COVID, but health that went into rapid decline when they went into isolation.
"It's not because caregivers weren't doing their best," she said. "It's due to this upset in not being able to leave their homes. You can be socially isolated even surrounded by family. That's something very real and really played a huge, huge role in the decline of so many people. Not to mention people aren't moving around. They've lost direction. Everything, for so many people, has just fallen apart."
Norwalk resident Jill Arvanitis said her mother's health has been affected by the pandemic, not only from isolation, but from the delays in medical care the virus caused.
Arvanitis left her job at the beginning of March to care for her mom whose health had begun declining in late 2018. The plan was to take a few months to help her mom get through a series of appointments and procedures to help get her health back on track.
"I was balancing six or seven different specialists and appointments," she said. "Balancing that with working full time was hard...I said to my husband I just need six months to bang out doctors appointments. The ironic thing was we were walking into a pandemic."
Arvanitis' mother had just begun seeing a new physical therapist to help with her leg pain while walking. She had exploratory surgery scheduled to aid her failing vision. And her memory had begun to improve after moving to an apartment in an assisted living facility in Wilton after doctors suggested her decline could be attributed to living alone. Then March came, her appointments and procedures were canceled and she was isolated again.
"We had all this momentum to really bang out all these appointments and not just have procedures, but immediately be able to follow up," Arvanitis said. "But then when the pandemic hit, it all stopped. It was this incredible feeling of momentum that just stopped in its tracks. It was hard and you had this feeling of we've been making so much progress. Are we ever going to get back to this place?"
Knowing she had to care for her mother, Arvanitis and her family adhered to strict quarantine rules. She would only see her mother to deliver groceries and set up her pills, but kept away from her. Her mother began to have trouble again remembering things like what day it was as a result of being home all day, every day.
"I would try to stay on the other side of the apartment and tell her stay on the other end," Arvanitis said. "It was literally just trying to keep her alive. It sounds weird, but that's basically what it was especially in those early days when we didn't have any information on how to keep people safe. You have fears of am I going to be able to keep my parents alive?"
When the state reopened in May, Arvanitis tried to get her mother back on track while staying safe, but a lot of progress was lost. Her twice weekly physical therapy appointments were like trying to teach her mother to walk again, she said.
The bright spot was the medical procedures originally planned for the spring were rescheduled. But COVID guidelines require a test before each one which can sometimes take Arvanitis all day to get — between picking her mother up, waiting for the test and getting her mother home. While she might have had her mother take a car service before corona hit, this isn't an option now.
"It had to be me as a caregiver because of COVID," she said. "Pre-pandemic there were certain tasks I could've (delegated), but because of COVID...it's been a huge amount of effort on my part."
With the COVID vaccine hitting Connecticut nursing homes, relief and hope is on the horizon. But the effects of the lockdown will linger in the long term.
David Rabin, CEO of Greenwich United Way, said his organization is conducting a needs assessment of the community in the coming year and mental health is already at the top of the priority list.
"I think the pandemic has brought (to light) a lot of underlying issues that weren't being addressed," he said. "Now as we've gone through nine months of this, we see this being one of those issues which has bubbled up to the top...We need to be preparing for the mental health services when it comes to the aging population. We think it's festering in homes where there may be limited care, help and resources. Zoom only goes so far...We have to be very careful (with family caregivers) too. Without the proper social and emotional interaction, it's going to take its toll."

Quick update from Amazons around the world: The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films is now officially back in stock and ready to ship at Amazon France. Apologies for the delay, but there was also a good bit of behind-the-scenes effort to make sure that well doesn't run dry again. So to those of you on that part of the globe I say, have at it!
Meanwhile, heading westward, Amazon UK now has The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films discounted by a generous 25%.
... OK, I know this commerce talk is less exciting than casting announcements, etc. But if you're getting an early start on holiday shipping, it's probably good to keep an eye on such things!


Nappies, stethoscopes and oxygen masks. These are just a few examples of the items that students Jimmi Liljegren and Mikael Rova purchased for the hospital in Uganda during their placements there.
"In our hearts, it felt like the right thing to do. We felt a moral obligation to help and we didn't think about anything else than trying to improve the situation for patients at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda," explains Mikael Rova.
When Jimmi Liljegren and Mikael Rova chose to complete their nursing placements in Uganda, they wanted to do something just a little bit extra. They began collecting money prior to their departure and managed to achieve 18 000 sek. Once there, they then used the money to buy diverse items that were in short supply at the hospital.
"The first week there, we bought loads of nappies for malnourished children. We also bought toilet paper and oxygen adapters. In our final week, we bought items for the children's emergency ward and trauma ward," states Mikael Rova.
What reaction did you receive?
"We were met very positively, by both the nurses and the director of the hospital, who thanked us for our donations. One of the nurses said that her prayers had been met because there was already a shortage of many of the resources and with these donations, they will be able to continue to provide care for a few more months."
What was the standard at the hospital?
"Very low. It wasn't unusual for patients to have to lie on the floor because there weren't enough beds."
What is your clearest memory from your time there?
The good will and friendliness of people, but also the shortages within health care that became very clear during our placement. We learnt a great deal from our time there through experiences that would be hard to have anywhere else," says Mikael Rova.


1 Thus says the Lord, "Go, buy a potter's earthenware flask, and take some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priests, 2 and go out to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I tell you. 3 You shall say, 'Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such disaster upon this place that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle. 4 Because the people have forsaken me and have profaned this place by making offerings in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents, 5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it come into my mind— 6 therefore, behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 And in this place I will make void the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, and will cause their people to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city a horror, a thing to be hissed at. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its wounds. 9 And I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and everyone shall eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies and those who seek their life afflict them.' 10 "Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you, 11 and shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury. 12 Thus will I do to this place, declares the Lord, and to its inhabitants, making this city like Topheth. 13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah—all the houses on whose roofs offerings have been offered to all the host of heaven, and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods—shall be defiled like the place of Topheth.'" 14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the Lord's house and said to all the people: 15 "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their neck, refusing to hear my words."


Cancer is increasingly recognized as a health threat to individuals in both resource-rich countries and low- and middle-income countries. More people die from cancer than from HIV, tuberculosis and malaria combined. New strategies are needed, and Fred Hutch is at the forefront of transforming the way we fight cancer on a global scale.
Our work in Uganda over the past decade has shown that cancer in low- and middle-income countries—particularly cancers caused by infectious diseases—can be effectively addressed, and that solutions developed for those settings can lead to better diagnosis, treatment and prevention strategies in all countries.
To generate groundbreaking scientific research and provide technical assistance to our partners to reduce the burden of cancer in Uganda and elsewhere, we depend on the generosity of our donors to sustain this important work. You can help accelerate our efforts by supporting our high-priority needs, including support for innovative research, training and diagnostic equipment and other research infrastructure needs.
People from around the world are making it their mission to partner with us to enable the conduct of research that will ultimately lead to new diagnostic tools, prevention strategies and treatments.
For more information about funding opportunities or making a donation, contact us globaloncology@fredhutch.org or (206) 667-6075.

The Orkney mainland is surrounded by a necklace of isles, some of which are uninhabited by man but offer a wealth of wildlife and heritage.
Adventuring these isles can be habit forming as described by Gerald Durrell in "islomania".
Recent years have seen great improvements to ferry services and flights, allowing visitors to 'island hop', usually from a base on the mainland.
All of the islands are filled with mystery and romance. Legends of seal folk (selkies), sea monsters and trolls (Hogboons) abound as well as the viking and neolithic heritage, with stories of buried treasure and witches.
Island life is dominated by argiculture with a great sense of community. Tourists are welcome guests at local dances and community activities.
Situated in the northern isles, 14 miles off the mainland, Eday is only eight miles long.
Sheer cliffs, beaches and sand dunes play host to wildlife and seabirds and offer great panoramic views over the islands.
The first settlers arrived in Eday 5000 years ago and their chambered tombs, burnt mounds and standing stones are a constant reminder of earlier life on the islands.
This small island lays at the north eastern tip of Eday and has some wonderful examples of prehistoric houses and chambered tombs, some of the most important sites on the British Isles.
The ruins of a 17th Century salt works are probably the best surviving example of their type.
An uninhabited island grazed by sheep. It's caves and beaches are a major breeding ground for Grey Seals.
The key to Scapa Flow, this island took a beating during the World War II air raids as the Germans, after bombing the naval defences, turned for home dumping their remaining bombs on the nearest island.
Flotta oil terminal is one of the first landmarks to be seen as you reach the island. Built in 1976, this terminal processes crude oil from the Piper Platform.
Rocket Batteries, remains of military coastal defences and piers provide a wealth of interest for the military enthusiast.
Further information on Flotta including activities and places to visit.
The landscape of Hoy is unique within the Orkney isles. It has steep and craggy hills, corries and glaciated valleys providing home to apline plants, seabirds and mammals.
The Old Man of Hoy, a famous 450 foot sea stack has been a lure to climbers all over the world.
Military history is represented at the Lyness Naval Base, Martello Towers and Longhope Battery. Lyness Naval Cemetary is the resting place for many heroes of World War II, including those of HMS Hampshire, Vanguard and Royal Oak.
Graemsay is situated off the north eastern tip of Hoy. Walkers can explore the rocky shoreline and sandy beaches. A great place to picnic whilst watching the wild birds.
Lighthouse enthusiasts will enjoy the visit to the two towers at the northern and south eastern approaches to the island.
Further information on Hoy & Graemsay.
The most remote of the Orkney Isles, being further north than the southern tip of Norway. Old traditions still hold strong and the native North Ronaldsay sheep are still grazed communally along the coastline. The meat from these sheep is now a prized delicacy.
being on the migration crossroads to Iceland and Greenland, the island of North Ronaldsay boasts a diverse population of migrant birds. Common and Grey Seals are numerous and porpoises can often be seen.
Evidence of early settlement can be observed at the Bare of Stannabreck, Broch of Burrian and Howmae Brae, among others.
Further information on North Ronaldsay.
Just north of the western mainland Rousay is grouped with the smaller islands of Egilsay, Wyre and Eynhallow.
Rich in heritage, the Jacobean style Trumland House, belonging to the then Laird, General Sir Frederick William Traill-Burroughs, share the landscape with much older Iron and Stone Age brochs and cairns.
Although Trumland House is not open to the public, there is an excellent visitor centre with restaurant, crafts and cycle facility.
An RSPB moorland nature reserve is situated at the south eastern end of the island, offering long and short walks around the site.
The small island to the east of Rousay is home to the famous St. Magnus Kirk, one of only two remaining examples of the distinctive round towered churches, built by the Vikings.
An RSPB reserve has large numbers of breeding waders and meadows rich in wild flowers.
Wyre is the southern island off Rousay and is famous for Cubbie Roo's Castle, the stronghold of the Viking Chieftain, built around 1150 AD as well as the wonderfully preserved St. Mary's Chapel.
One of the greatest Scottish writers of the 20th Century, Edwin Muir, lived on the island for a while.
The tiny island of Eynhallow is uninhabited now but is home to a fantastic 12th Century Monastic settlement and three prehistoric houses.
Further information on Rousay, Egilsay, Wyre and Eynhallow.
The largest of the northern Orkney Isles has sweeping bays with white sandy beaches. It is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts with seals (Selkies) abundant on the shores and the wetlands. Farmland and meadows providing a welcome stop for migrant and visiting birds alike. The islands' otter population is a rare sight.
Sanday has the best conditions for arable farming and this is evident from the 5000 years of prolific prehistoric and Viking archaeology.
There are remains of military presence on the island and Sanday even boasts it's own nine hole "ecological" golf course.
Twenty five minutes crossing, just north of Kirkwall, Shapinsay has small areas of sea water completely shut off from the ocean by narrow tracts of land. Locally known as "Ayres", these storm beaches are a great habitat for breeding birds and none more so then the RSPB Mill Dam reserve.
Shapinsay has it's share of archaeology in the form of cists, mounds, brochs and underground structures.
As the ferry approaches the south western shore, the towers of the Victorian Balfour Castle dominate the view.
One of the most easterly positioned islands, Stronsay is about seven miles long and is eaten into by three large bays.
Abounding with bird life throughout the year. Now well know as one of the best sites in Europe for rare migrants, the Stronsay Bird Reserve is owned and run by bird artist John Holloway and his family.
Two tiny outlaying islands of Linga Holm and Holm of Huip are important breeding grounds for Atlantic Grey Seals and Greylag Geese.
Much of the archaeology on Stronsay and the surrounding islands has been well preserved, including one of Orkney's earliest chambered tombs dating from 3000 BC or earlier.
Papa Stronsay sits just off the north eastern aspect of Stronsay and was home to Orkney's monks.
Earl Rognvald Brusason was murdered here in 1046 by the supporters of Thorfinn the Mighty.
The spectacular sea cliffs, rocky shores and sandy beaches provide some great coastal walks where wildlife abounds. Apart from the sea birds, Seals, Dolphins, Whales and Basking Sharks can often be seen. Between late April and July the curious little puffins make their home in the cliffs.
Outlying small islands of Rusk Holm, Holm are important breeding sites for Grey Seals whilst Holm of Aikerness is a good site to see Common Seal pups in June and is home to 150 North Ronaldsay sheep.
The shortest scheduled flight in the world exists between Westray and Papa Westray (shorter than the main runway at Heathrow Airport).
Papa Westray or Papay is home to the oldest house in northern Europe at the Knap of Howar. These well preserved buildings were home to neolithic farmers over 5000 years ago, before the ancient pyramids of Egypt were built.
St. Boniface Kirk is one of the oldest Chirstian sites in northern Scotland. It's 12th Century stonework has been restored over the years.
Holland Farm was home to the Lairds of the island for three centuries. This Traill family home features a doo'cot, mill tramp and corn drying kiln.
The island of Burray lies to the north of South Ronaldsay, the two islands are connected by the 4th Churchill Barrier.
Burray has lovely sandy beaches and is a centre for many water sports including: diving, canoeing, sailing and water skiing.
The various habitats such as heathland, beaches, lochs, cliffs and rocks are home to a wide variety of birds. Common and Grey Seals are often be seen.
Burray is also connected by the Churchill Barriers to the two smaller islands of glimps Holm and Lamb Holm, the latter of which can be found the stunning Itailan Chapel (La chiesetta italiana di Orkney).
The most southerly of the Orkney Isles is often the first that ferry passengers see, as they disembark at St. Margarets, Hope.
South Ronaldsay is the nearest Orkney Island to Scotland, just 6.5 miles across the Pentland Firth from John O'Groats.
The main town is the picturesque village of St. Margarets Hope, laying in a sheltered bay with houses around the shore.
Beeches have wonderful white sand with many sea birds visible on the coastline and shores.
South Ronaldsay is linked to the mainland via Burray, Lamb Home and Glimps Home by the Churchill Barriers.

Unprecedented $1.8 Billion Campaign for World-Changing Innovation
Israel's Technion Launches Unprecedented $1.8 Billion Campaign to Support University's World-Changing Innovation
The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has kicked off a global $1.8 billion, ten-year fundraising campaign – the largest and most ambitious initiative of its kind ever launched by an Israeli university.
The campaign will raise support for world-changing, life-saving innovation, and better prepare for the challenges and opportunities the digital revolution brings with it, and which are expected to be at the focus of global attention well into the second half of the 21st century.
The unprecedented effort was officially launched at the June 2018 Technion Board of Governors meeting, and will conclude in 2024, the centennial of the first Technion class. The campaign will deliver funding that amplifies the Technion's outsized impact in sectors including the environment, sustainability, alternative energy and water conservation; health and medicine; artificial intelligence, information, and communication; quantum science, matter, and engineering; and advancing Israel security, leadership, and diversity.
Through the campaign, the Haifa, Israel-based Technion—Israel's first university—will fund crucial areas of need such as fellowships and other student support, faculty recruitment and retention, research infrastructure, and capital projects.
"This campaign is truly global in nature," said Prof. Peretz Lavie, President of the Technion. "Not only does it involve our societies around the world—including the UK, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, France, Israel, and the U.S.—but it will result in global benefits, such as better quality in soil, water, and air, easy-to-use sources for clean and renewable energy, engineering aid to developing countries, advancing breakthroughs in fighting cancer, and much, much more."
"We live in the era of social entrepreneurship, when top philanthropists seek to maximize the return on investment for every single gift," said Jeffrey Richard, CEO of the American Technion Society, whose donors have provided more than $2.5 billion for the Technion since 1940. "It is important that potential donors understand just how far their money goes at the Technion."
The Technion has earned international recognition for its research in a myriad of fields, including regenerative medicine, aerospace, computer science, quantum engineering, nanotechnology, biotechnology, the life sciences and more. The institution has signed memoranda of understanding with more than 200 universities and research frameworks abroad, and last year inaugurated the Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Israel's first university campus in China, and celebrated the move of the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute to its permanent home, the new Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island in New York.
Ambassador Ronald S. Lauder has accepted the Technion's invitation to serve as an honorary chair of the Technion Global Campaign. In October, Ronald and Jo Carole Lauder will host a special event at their home in New York to launch the Technion campaign in the United States. The event will be attended by the President of the Technion, friends of the Technion in New York and personal friends of the Lauder family.
"I feel a profound sense of commitment and responsibility to the Technion, Israel's first and best school of engineering, the professional breeding house for so many of us, and the institution that has addressed – and that will continue to address – so many of the world's challenges," said Zohar Zisapel, the Israeli Chair of the Technion Global Campaign. "I'm honored to be a part of the Technion's Global Campaign Committee, and to help ensure the future of this unique institution to the benefit of millions around the globe."
"The standard practice of campaign communications among leading US universities is to soft launch the campaign and then make it public once one third of the campaign goal is secured," said Prof. Boaz Golany, Vice President for External Relations and Resource Development at Technion. "When we launched the quiet phase of the campaign in October 2014, we estimated it would take four years to cross that threshold. We were glad to discover we were wrong. Thanks to the vision and generosity of our friends worldwide, we are already at a point in which we've raised more than 40% of our total goal of $1.8 billion."


Fantastical worlds colliding with reality, inspired by wild life and the nature of things in everyday life with heavy use of repetitive pattern and shape, particularly dots.
Sally Paxton is a pointillism painter who says that art and design have always played an important part in her life. She was raised on a farming property on the Murray River in Mildura and that is where her fascination with nature began. Now she lives in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, on a very different stretch of water, the beautiful Yaroomba Beach where she walks the dogs on the beach, picks up driftwood and shells, explores the bush, watches birds and kangaroos and of course, paints.

Imagine fantastical worlds colliding with reality. My work is inspired by wild life, especially birds in their environment, and the nature of things in everyday life.
Repetitive pattern and shape, particularly dots dominate my work. I am obsessed with dots and see them everywhere, in everything. The work explores my connection with the world we inhabit, it is an expression of my reality but also my imagined world. Intricate and delicate forms intertwine in my work, just as my reality and my imagination blend.
Once I start a piece it consumes me, I become obsessed and transfixed by it. Through this process a part of me is embedded in my work.

Lake Mangamahoe
Visit > See and Do > Lake Mangamahoe
Lake Mangamahoe is a 262ha production forest, a popular place for mountain biking, walking, and running, and has a bridle path for horses, a scenic lake and park. It also has spectacular views of Mt Taranaki.
In the early 1920s New Plymouth City Council purchased land for the construction of a dam and a lake to act as a water catchment area for the expanding city of New Plymouth. In 1932 the lake was created by forming a dam across the valley and submerging 79 acres.
It was named after the Mangamahoe stream which flows into the upper reaches of the lake.
Water from both the stream and the nearby Waiwhakaiho River feeds the lake through a 548m pipe. In order to protect the steep hillside from eroding, development planting was undertaken and shelterbelts were planted to protect the pine trees growing in what is now the Mangamahoe Forest.
The lake itself is also significant to the district in terms of power generation. Trustpower Ltd administers this from the Mangorei Power Station.
The walk takes you on a journey around the lake through production forest, up to impressive lookouts and among mature ornamental tree plantings that are mixed with pockets of regenerated native bush. The circuit walk is an enjoyable one for people of all ages. However, there are some steep undulating sections on the walk that require a reasonable standard of fitness.
The walk may be started at either end of Lake Rd. Along the circuit walk you will meander through a small collection of redwood trees which were planted in 1931. In California, where they originate, they are known as giants of the forest, reaching heights of up to 111m. Redwoods are known for their longevity. The growth rings of fallen trees in California indicate that some have lived for more than 2,000 years.
On the eastern side of the lake the circuit walk gives the choice of two routes:
1) The upper ridge takes you over a forest access road used for logging operations. As this road is up high on a ridge above the lake it provides remarkable views of surrounding farmland, Mt Taranaki and the lake itself.
2) The lower lakeside route takes you on an ambling walk close to the lake edge. Lakeside vegetation and regenerating pockets of native bush provide a cooling atmosphere and a home to many birds. The northern section is a popular area for mountain bikers, so caution is advised on these tracks.

There's no doubt that apple pie is a holiday staple. Impress your family this December with my classic apple pie recipe, made entirely from scratch with all (somewhat) healthy ingridients. Ditch the store bought pies and pre-made crust, and take your baking to the next level.
*Makes 2 crusts. Use half of above measurements for 1 crust.
Start by peeling your apples and dicing them into small pieces.
Add them to a large size mixing bowl, along with your sugar, spices and corn starch.
Toss the apples until they are thoroughly coated and combined. Set aside while you begin making your crust!
For the crust, add the diced stick of butter to the food processor and lightly pulse until crumbled. Slowly add in your flour, salt and sugar mixture until crumbly.
Add 4-5 tablespoons of ice water to the mixture, until it forms a dough-like texture. Form into a ball and place in an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. After 3o minutes, flour a pastry board and cover the dough with a piece of parchment paper. Begin rolling out the dough into a large flat circle.
Once you roll the dough into the desired size, grease a pie tin and carefully place your dough inside. Then, add in your apple mixture.
Repeat the dough making process once more, in order to make your top crust. After you roll out your second ball of dough into a large circle, cut 1/2 inch wide strips if you wish to make a lattice crust. Feel free to get creative with your crust design! A lattice crust is my favorite, but check out more pie crust inspiration. For a lattice design, start by making a cross in the middle of your pie with two strips.
Continue with this process, making sure the dough follows an "over and under" pattern. Take your time, as this process can become complicated if you move too fast.
Once complete, trim the edges with a small knife, and use a fork to seal the top and bottom crusts together.
Melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter and brush the crust so it is evenly coated. Sprinkle a pinch of white sugar atop, and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

13 killed, 16 missing in China's severe storm 'Lekima', Red alert declared
Beijing : 13 people died and 16 others went missing after storm 'Lekima' hit China's eastern coastal area on Saturday. In anticipation of Lekima's landfall, the Chinese weather bureau issued a red alert on Friday morning, warning residents of the threat for strong winds, heavy rainfall and coastal impacts.
The country has a four-stage color-coded warning system, with red representing the most severe weather.Thousands of trees have fallen and one million people had to come out of their homes.
The National Meteorological Center issued an Orange Alert before the storm arrived. The center told that Hurricane Lekima is the ninth storm this year. The storm reached Wenling city at a speed of 187 kilometers per hour and is now expected to reach Shanghai.
According to the administration, apart from Shanghai, there is a possibility of heavy rains in the eastern provinces of Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang. In view of this, 300 flights have been cancelled in Zhejiang Province .

N,N-Dimethyl-1,3-propylenediamine is a useful catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation. It is also a useful hardening agent for expoxy resin.
Highly flammable. Temperature sensitive and possibly sensitive to air. Water soluble.
3-Dimethylaminopropylamine neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Dimethylaminopropylamine is an aliphatic amine present in amphoteric surfactants such as liquid soaps and shampoos. It is present as a residual impurity thought to be responsible for allergy from cocamidopropylbetaine. It is structurally similar to diethylaminopropylamine. It is also used as a curing agent for epoxy resins and an organic intermediate in chemical synthesises (ion exchangers, additives for flocculants, cosmetics and fuel additives, dyes and pesticides). Patch test has to be carefully interpreted, since the 1% aqueous solution has pH > 11 (personal observation).
