"Grant was great and made the whole experience exciting and fun"
"great staff and great boat, very professional, what more do you need. Well done Prodive."
"Geoff, Grant and the skipper were great - very helpful, professional and had a few good stories too! Set up on the boat was good. Consideration was given to the state of the seas when we got out which meant a slight change of plans to dive sites - which was good. Loved the party pies, sausage rolls, spring rolls and money bags!!"
"Excellent morning at Magic Point and Old Man's Hat. Geoff and Grant were really helpful and looked after my friend and I who were new to diving. Looking forward to the next dive!"

Would like to say a big thank you to Grant, Tony, Ben, Jason and Peter."
"I love diving with prodive."
"This trip was amazing. I only very recently completed my open water certification, this was my first dive since the course. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. They had warm refreshments between dives to keep us going, an the briefings were excellent in informing us on what we were going to do and at what depth. I will definitely be back. "
"Awesome trip to Magic Point. Sharks!"
"Shelley was a great guide to our trip to magic point.
She kindly provided some advice on my newly purchased BCD.
She also guided us flawlessly around the two dive sites splitting the groups as appropriate when people were cold or low on air.
Thanks also to Craig and Tony for running a tight ship. "

we also saw a baby weedy sea dragon- what a funny creature that one is!
overall we had a great time and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I am recovering from a car accident and required help getting in and tanking up. they helped me from the back of the boat, by sitting on the lowest platform. I was assisted into my jacket and tank both into and out of the water. really appreciated :))"
"Overall great experience. Would definitely recommend and come again!"
"Was great to finally get to Long Reef. Staff, boat and Captain were up to usual ProDive performance and service levels."
"Great day! My first boat dive, but I felt everyone was aware and made sure I knew what to do at every moment. Saw a lot of sharks which was exciting. Didn't realize our second dive would be at a different location, probably because I'm an amateur, so that was a great surprise! thanks for a great day guys!"
"Diving with you guys is always great; the staff creates a fun and safe environment."
"Two unbelievable dives. Vis was great at Magic Point and there were PLENTY of sharks! I don't usually enjoy Flagstaff but today was great!"

"Loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend it to everyone"
"I would love to dive with you again! And spend more time hanging out with the crew and absorb their diving experiences. 😊?
Let me know if a gathering is happening. Cheers!"
"Smooth, streamlined operation with engaged and friendly staff."
"This was our first dive since getting certified and it was absolutely fantastic. Felt safe and well looked after. Great morning out that I would highly recommend to anyone."
"Enjoyable day all around. Grant took our group on both dives, he was exceptional - friendly, fun, knowledgeable. He was easily the best dive guide we have had through Prodive."
"It is always a pleasure diving on the Sealife V. Skipper Tony knows the sea conditions well and always gets his mark when conditions are right."

"Great experience and excellent professionalism. exceptional diving instructors. will definitely do another boat dive."
"Great dives, finally got to see some Weedy Sea Dragons!
thanks again to the team, can't wait for the next dive"
"Well run, friendly staff, my wife and I enjoyed the day."
"Yesterday I took part on a dive with Eric from ProDive and was absolutely blown away by his enthusiasm and attention to detail. He was very thorough with his briefing, very attentive to all members of the group and also provided me with a complete and very detailed summary of the dive by email today, which completely surpassed all expectations.
I've done several dives with ProDive over the years and have always been very happy with the experience, but Eric certainly made yesterday's dives one of the most outstanding!"
"Been on loads of dives on the boat now: its always well organized, you look after everyone appropriately (sick peopke when rough etc), match people well based on experience, and the skipper takes a genuine interest in everyone. On this dive i was really impressed with Veronica - she was really attentive to everyone and she led a good dive yesterday. Cheers."
"We we unaware of the different dive destinations from dive 1 to dive 2 however didn't mind. The trainee Alex did a great briefing and was very professional."
"Eric was a fantastic guide. Very informative, we really enjoyed the day thanks to him! He also emailed a summary of what we saw on the dives - much appreciated!"
"Margaret was an EXCELLENT dive leader. At Magic Point she found every sea creature you could want to see - sea dragons, amorous cuddle fish, huge blue groupers, sharks, the lot! And great enthusiasm for the whole trip. Needless to say the Captain was again a delight and another highlight of the trip! Like the added touch of chocolates for the apres dive."
"Happy to keep coming back for more"
"My daughter and I did the deep diving course. We did all the skills required plus got some excellent diving in: a swim-through, baby cuttlefish, etc. Thanks Craig and Rob for an great day."
"Really enjoyed the new look Sealife V and Craig and Margaret were great very friendly and professional."
"Had a really good dive, have mentioned to my friends, will definitely dive again"
"On this trip I completed my 200th dive (many of which have been off Sealife V). Craig, Tony and the crew do a fantastic job, creating a professional, safe and totally enjoyable environment. Keep up the excellent work and I can't wait for the refitted Sealife V to hit the water. "
"The warm food was excellent, keep up the chocolate, and the crew ( Cap Tony, Craig, Will, & Eric) was Fantastic! I'll be back to dive again"
"Wonderful as always! Thanks guys"
Eric is a such a brilliant guide!!
Might invest in a dry suit so i don't freeze my arse off again next time else make Tony sign up to throwing me overboard..."
had a great day thank you"
"The staff did a great job on a bit of a rough sea day. As it was my first boat dive and I was a little nervous but enjoyed the second dive very much. Looking forward to booking another one soon"
"Unfortunately the weather did not allow for the planned trip to magic point however the crew did a great job finding somewhere else to dive and made it very enjoyable!"
"Eric the Dive guide is fantastic. So patient & his email afterwards describing the marine life is wonderful particularly for a beginner like myself who has little knowledge of the species we saw."
"Eric was great fun and really thoughtful - as someone who goes through air slowly, it was great to have a bit more time down there to look around."
Will be back again. Thanks heaps"
"One of my best boat dives in Sydney: weather was perfect, great site selection, boat staff professional and friendly (as usual).
Thanks to everyone in ProDive! I wish I could do few more of similar dives this year!"
"Had a great time, and my instructor was very friendly and patient for me being a novice diver"
"We made a dive to magic point with you last weekend, and I'm just writing to say how impressed I was with the whole thing. It was our first dive since becoming certified, and it couldn't have been better organised and run. I was particularly impressed with our guide, Eric, and blown away with his follow up email below. -We will be back.
"I had the best dive experience yesterday, the visibility was amazing and warren was an excellent guide, showing us around magic point. I will definitely be going again, loved every moment of it! "
"A great double dive with visibility normally experienced in pacific island diving. This is my second trip with Eric W as the guide and his confidence and competence instill a level of comfort and ease in the dive for everyone in the group. "
"Fantastic trip! Great crew, will definitely dive with you again!
"ProDive crew always very professional and friendly, they make you feel part of the team"
"Eric was a great dive guide and all Pro Dive staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable."
"I did my course only last week with Craig and Matt. Craig was on the boat, so it was great to have a 'proper' dive with him again and he also showed us a weedy sea dragon which was awesome. Both Craig and Matt are terrific instructors."
"Couldn't have been a better day. Will was fantastic at keeping us in check and putting us at ease since we were all still pretty inexperienced. The Dive itself at Magic Pt. was just phenomenal so overall a great day! Always glad to dive with Prodive!"
"great dive guide and great diving"
"I did the Advanced course, (at an advanced age), and was very impressed and even touched by the great care that was taken, not only for my safety, but also to make me feel very comfortable. The staff were friendly and kind, and seemed to genuinely care about their divers. I had fun. This is a very professional outfit and I can thoroughly recommend Pro-Dive."
"A great dive day, craig was clear and patient as always, never rushing anyone in the group."
"Friendly & helpful crew. Conditions were good. Bright blue sky, clear water. Most enjoyable. Highly recommended."
"Staff were excellent and because if them, you'll see me more often!"
"Long Reef is a an absolute must do Sydney dive."
"I saw a lot of sharks in magic point, woderful. Thanks pro dive.:)"
"Dived Long Reef for the first time. What an absolutely fantastic dive site! The crew and the trip was (again) outstanding and I have already booked to return to Long Reef."
"I hired the second tank - first tank was my mine.
I really enjoyed the dive - especially the dive at Magic Point. I was also quite impressed with the professionalism of Pro Dive, including counting the divers on and off the boat and checking on the depth and time after the dive/s. The only other time I've seen that was when I've been on a live aboard.
I look forward to diving with you again - maybe this coming weekend (Sunday)."
"as per usual, the staff were professional and extremely helpful. Eric did a fantastic job at leading our dive, and provided a great summary of what we had seen in the dive. Always a great dive with ProDive!!"
"The trip was outstanding (as usual). I have now dived at many places in Australia and throughout the South Pacific and Pro Dive Manly remains one of the most professional and courteous dive organisations I have ever dealt with. I have never had a bad experience diving with them."
"Had so much fun! Mick and Tyrone were awesome! Can't wait for our next dive."
"What an awesome morning of diving! Grey Nurses, Bull Ray, Weedy Sea Dragon, Moray Eels, Lion Fish, Mourning Cuttlefish,Port Jacksons and a Wobbegong! Amazing and great hosts as always with Brad and Tony, so thanks to one and all...:"
"Pleasant and professional crew! Would dive again and recommend to friends"
"Without doubt the trip aboard Sea Life as the most professional and friendly I have even been on. I cannot fault the facilities, equipment & staff. Chris & Brad were fantastic, even before I stepped onboard I felt welcome and completely at ease. Brad is an exceptional host who obviously lives for diving & had a genuine care for his colleagues and customers.My dive guide Eric, was outstanding. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable & safety concious.My 1st dive was in 1984 and since then I have been on many many trips. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd easily give Brad & his team a well earned 11."
"Absolutely fantastic dive yesterday 23/12/2012. Brad's hospitality onboard and dive instructing is the reason I keep coming back. I always feel like I'm catching up with an old friend and setting off on an adventure. Very happy atmosphere on board. "
6) just being a good humoured and entertaining bunch of fellows.
I look forward to my next dives.
"Very professional staff who were highly competent and friendly. We were very relaxed and enjoyed very much.
The guides showed us interesting sightings which we might have missed otherwise.
"As a novice diver both Mick and Brad were great in building up confidence and looking after me."
"Great dive, managed by a friendly and competent staff.
Well done, you made it a great experience to get back into diving!
"Brad and Tony always provide a fun and fantastic dive experience, super knowledgable and very friendly.
I would recommend Sealife V and pro dive for anyone looking to dive Sydney's great dive locations!"
Thank you for a great first dive in Sydney! The sharks were the best, and will long be remembered from my trip down under. Take care, see you again soon. Don M.
Darren and I had an awesome time yesterday. Staff were friendly and professional. We will definitely be back again soon!
"I found that the service and energy of the staff from pro dive was really good.
My dive was really enjoyable and the staff were a large part of that.
"Fantastic day. Highlight of my week. Still talking about it. Can't wait to go diving again. Thom"
Getting in amongst the sharks a weedys! Brilliant! Love Brad fully getting involved! I tell ya, the only thing that could have made it better is if king Tritan or Nessy made an appearance! CHAMPIONS!
Enjoy the trip? Hell yes!!! the staff make you feel like you've been there hundreds of times before while still making sure you get to enjoy something new and unique every time.
Excellent diving trip and Eric our dive guide was great. We will be booking with you again - thanks!
I'm glad to have my own personal divemaster Chee diving with me. Disappointed that we miss magic point but still enjoy the dives overall.
P.S. Just joking about my own personal divemaster, Chee is my friend of 23 years.
I was very impressed with the whole operation.
"Big thanks to Eric and the rest of the crew! Even though we were quite a few beginners, you made the dives feel safe and enjoyable!"
"What an awesome morning of diving! Even with a few incidents going on, the crew led by Brad and Tony were as ever the true pros! The wildlife included Grey Nurse Sharks, Wobbegongs, Sea Turtles, Weedy Sea Dragons and so much more...huge thanks as always guys!!"
Great day that was enjoyed by everyone.
Friendly team, passionate people, all was there to have a wonderful trip :)) I really enjoy it !
I always enjoy diving with Produve as I find all the staff friendly, knowledgable and professional and all times.
Had two days of excellent diving, appreciated the food and the Easter eggs, crew were fantastic. Thanks!
Am still pretty new to diving and it was my first boat dive so was a little nervous but with such a fantastic and friendly group of staff I felt reassured and really enjoyed my dives. Would definitely be coming for more dives when I come by Sydney again. Thanks!!
Thanks very much, the first dive was my first from a boat and all went according to plan and gave me a lot of confidence. Second dive visibility wasn't great, but again all went well. The easter eggs and cake were a nice touch and a friendly crew made for an enjoyable outing.
Lots of fun and very professional as usual.
Brad was our dive guide, and he was great! He spoke to us the previous day about the weather conditions and asked us where we would like to dive, going through all the options to ensure that we got the best value for our money spent.
By far the best dives I've had in Sydney so far, both underwater (saw a weedy sea dragon!!) and on board the boat!
Any time i go with pro dive i am having the best time. Thank you guys and will continue diving with pro dive and recomend it for everyone!!
As usual, diving from Sea Life V with the ProDive crew was an awesome experience.
Keep up the great work and atmosphere and I will certainly be back for many more dives with you!
SeaLife V crew were friendly, patient and professional. Diving with this team is always fun and filled with unforgetable moments.
Once again I had a great day on the boat. I think yesterday's dives were two of the best I have ever done in Sydney. Many thanks to Pro Dive's staff.
Experienced friendly professional team who seem to love what they do.
First boat dive in 4 months, all the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and most of all safe.
Love diving with Manly Pro Dive team, I will be back next week for more.
I dove (dived?) Long Reef/Queensie Bombie on this trip with Howard Womersley guiding our group.
The conditions were superb with great visibility and the dives were made further enjoyable by Howard's relaxed guiding pace around both Long Reef and Manly Bombora.
Looking forward to the next deep dive!
Staff were fantastic. Thanks for a great time.
Amazing dives... Absolutely brilliant Sydney winter diving. Excellent choice of dive sites!
Great day & well structured - good dive guides & a fun day all round. Will definitely recommend.
Eric was our Dive Leader. He was professional and showed passion for diving, it really showed when he gave us the briefing and when he followed up after the dive. He made sure he pointed areas of interest and marine life that we otherwise would have missed. Really enjoyed the dive on 24 Aug and I look forward to the next one.
ENJOYED ANOTHER FANTASTIC DAY OUT ON THE PRO DIVE BOAT.
ON MAKING EVERYONE FEEL SO WELCOME AND SAFE.
LEE.........THE CAKE WAS A NICE TREAT!
Great diving experience, as always!
Great fluid operation right from joining instructions to kitting up and then the dive brief. All in all a great days' diving.
Great boat dive guys. Very friendly, helpful and professional. Eric W was one of the very best dive leader/master i have come across in nearly 30 years of diving.
As always - a great morning of diving - great crew and boat.

Senior glory for Clanns is Talty's aim
Niall Scully
A SANDYMOUNT stroll. A nice thing to do of a evening, or at anytime of the day. The seafront is always humming.
There are walkers and runners taking in the air. And happy dogs too.
In the distance, the tall floodlights of Clanna Gael Fontenoy cheer up the scenery. A familiar, welcome sight.
Clanns is always bustling. They came so near to senior football this year, pipped on the line by Naomh Mearnóg.
In charge was Brian Talty, one of Dublin football's most colourful characters. If you sat Talts in the Mastermind chair and Dublin football was his subject, they'd run out of questions. Albert Hannon and Ronan Smyth were his leading lieutenants.
He's managing the team again this term. Mick Fitzgerald and Des Markey are on board. The Promised Land is firmly punched into the sat-nav.
But they know it won't be easy. St Peregrine's were in the Division 3 play-offs for three years in succession. No joy. Last season they achieved automatic promotion as Division 3 champs.
"That's the way to do it," notes Clanns vice-chairman Pat Kane. "The aim has to be to win it outright because the play-offs are a minefield.
"Division 3 is the great abyss of Dublin football. There are so many good teams there. Every one of them is competitive.
"We were close this time. It would have been a huge bonus for us to have got into senior football. But we have picked it up again now and we'll see what happens. We had such a great run last year. But as I say getting up is not easy for anyone. It must be about 30 years since Clanns were last in senior football."
Perhaps Talts and his cohorts can find the magic potion to follow the Fontenoy hurlers into the big top. Clanns are in AHL Division 2. Managing them this season is Shay Connolly. Shay's son, Ciaran, is a sweet hurler.
"We finished mid-table last season and we reached the Junior A Championship final. The plan now is to push on from there," reports Pat.
Shay Connolly is also the overall Club chief. The facilities are among the best in the country. The include two floodlit Prunty Pitches, a hurling wall, an all-weather training pitch, plus an elegant clubhouse.
"We have done the ground work by putting in the facilities. Now we want to be competitive on the pitch. We are getting there," says Pat. We are in the middle of a huge sporting area. You have rugby on one side and soccer on the other. But things are coming around for us."
The upsurge in the camogie and ladies football is another positive feature. Camogie prospers and Clanns have two Jackies in the house, Kim Flood and Rachel Byrne.
The Clanns chief is Eugene Davey, a celebrated name of Dublin GAA and a dear Friend of Dublin hurling.
Across the street, the new Lansdowne Road is about to open its doors. The Clanns' doors are always open for new recruits.
And with a rub of the green and yellow, Clanns could well be in Dublin's senior football enclosure came the end of 2010.
If that happens, the great Talts might even be persuaded to sing a few bars of The Galway Girl.

Is that bottom one from the Middlesbrough game where we thought we'd got in the playoffs but actually hadn't?
Looks like they have the old lyons cake kit on in that game so that would have been a few years earlier, personally I reckon it's against Brighton, think we had over 12 thousand turn up because when you paid on the door you were given a voucher guaranteeing you a ticket for the everton cup a few weeks later, sithi.
Roger Wylde lashes the ball home in front of the Ponty. My first ever game, September 1987, v Plymouth. We went top of the league.
Was that a 5-2 game we had a few around that time. Stole was one and I can't remember if the other was Plymouth.
The other 5-2 victory was against Reading, old mate. We beat Plymouth 2-1 that day.
2-1. Wylde got two, Tommy Tynan got theirs. The other 5-2 at home that season was Reading (after we'd been 2-0 down very early on I think ).
Yep, on closer inspection we do seem to be playing in red shorts. Still, I only ever remember Boro having a light blue shirt with darker shorts. Unless the shirt is actually striped and just a bit out of focus!
There's a couple of Plymouth players in the photo with strong Barnsley connections. Mark Smith wearing number six, who was to join us and serve us well two years later, and our former defender Nicky Law trying to block Rodger's shot.
Nicky Law is unmistakable. Think he threw his toys out the pram and got booked after an altercation with someone or other. Great spot with Mark Smith though! Never realised it was him. One of my favourite players as a kid.
I'm telling anybody who'll listen " wer'e not in them Brighton have scored" one of them is shouting " shurrup we are"
then the announcement " ladies and gentlemen sorry but I have to tell you Brighton have scored etc etc".
It was terrible to see all those supporters faces that day. One minute dancing around and singing the next in absolute despair.
The emotion the game can stir up in us eh.!
Reading and Stoke were both Tuesdays weren't they?
I don't think so, JC, but I'm probably wrong, mate.
Could we have a nostalgia sticky thread where we can attach all these old BFC related pics?
I also remember that, it was mad! Proper gutting. Could never happen in the post-internet age. In my memory, I can see Gerry Taggart spraying champagne from the gantry where the tv cameras are: have I made that up?
Its a good job its not in today's social media world, we'd never had lived it down. Its bad enough with all those crying kids they send around when their teams got relegated.
Nice memories - but thank goodness most of it has been knocked down and rebuilt.
If it looked like that now then Barnsley would be stuck in the conference league.
Not many football supporters would tolerate facilities like that now.
The reading one was 20th October which was a Tuesday. I remember going on the bus from sunny Darfield. The Stoke one was a Saturday 31st October. Weird I was sure that one was Tuesday. Memories not what they used to be.
So we were both right? Now that's a conclusion that suits me, mate!
There was wooden terracing?! Healthandsafetytastic!
No, you haven't. Some of the players were chucking their boots down as souvenirs as well.

Shaft work equation
What is the work of shaft?
A shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a machine which absorbs power.
How do you calculate PV work?
Pressure-volume workWork is the energy required to move something against a force.The energy of a system can change due to work and other forms of energy transfer such as heat.Gases do expansion or compression work following the equation: work = − P Δ V text {work} = -text PDelta text V work=−PΔV.
What is the thermodynamic definition of work?
In thermodynamics, work performed by a system is energy transferred by the system to its surroundings, by a mechanism through which the system can spontaneously exert macroscopic forces on its surroundings, where those forces, and their external effects, can be measured.
What is P Delta V?
Thermodynamics helps us determine the amount of work and the amount of heat necessary to change the state of the gas. For a gas, work is the product of the pressure (p) and the volume (V)during a change of volume. delta W = p * delta V. The "delta" indicates a change in the variable.
Where are shafts used?
A shaft is a long piece of metal, usually circular in cross section, in an engine or machine that turns and transmits power or movement to another part of the machine. They are used for transmitting rotary motion and torque from one point to another.
How do I choose shaft material?
The main requirements for the shaft material were:Yield strength > 30 ksi.5 years before failure – corresponds to 3,500 hours actual use.Lightweight.Easy to manufacture.Corrosion resistant.
You might be interested: Word problem to equation
What is work formula?
Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d).
What is work unit?
In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work.
Is work a path function?
Path functions are properties or quantities whose values depend on the transition of a system from the initial state to the final state. The two most common path functions are heat and work.
Is work done a thermodynamic function?
Heat and work are not state functions. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat and the work transferred between the system and its surroundings.
What are the 3 law of thermodynamics?
Traditionally, thermodynamics has stated three fundamental laws: the first law, the second law, and the third law. A more fundamental statement was later labelled the 'zeroth law'. The third law of thermodynamics states that a system's entropy approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
How do I calculate delta H?
Subtract the sum of the heats of formation of the reactants from that of the products to determine delta H: delta H = –110.53 kJ/mol – (–285.83 kJ/mol) = 175.3 kJ.

Differences in MS patients' cerebrospinal fluid may be key to drugs that halt progression
The disability burden for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) can vary significantly depending on whether they have a relapsing/remitting form of the disease, where they experience periods of clinical remission, or a progressive form, where they have continued neurological deterioration without clinical remission. Effective therapies exist for managing relapsing/remitting MS, but treatment for progressive MS

Increased glucose, transformed into energy, could give people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, improved mobility and a longer life, according to new findings by a University of Arizona-led research team. Physicians have long known that people with ALS experience changes in their metabolism that often lead to rapid weight loss in a process called
A new drug target for chemically induced Parkinson's disease
More than three decades ago, scientists discovered that a chemical found in a synthetic opioid, MPTP, induced the onset of a form of Parkinson's disease. In a new study led by scientists from the School of Veterinary Medicine, researchers found that an enzyme in the body can metabolize compounds formed in the brain from alkaloids
Fishing a line coupled with clockwork for daily rhythm: Molecular mechanism of the interplay of clock proteins for generating a circadian oscillation
Organisms on this planet, including human beings, exhibit a biological rhythm that repeats about every 24 h to adapt to the daily environmental alteration caused by the rotation of the earth. This circadian rhythm is regulated by a set of biomolecules working as a biological clock. In cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae), the circadian rhythm is
Anti hypertensive drug use was associated with a decreased dementia risk
Various clinical trials indicate what effects can be expected from standardized intervention programs on the basis of existing evidence. Little is known about the way in which such programs can be implemented in actual care practice. However, it may be possible to use data from clinical practice to estimate the potential of drug prescriptions to
Antibiotics that dentists prescribe are unnecessary 81% of the time
Antibiotics prescribed by dentists as a preemptive strike against infection are unnecessary 81% of the time, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open. The findings are important because dentists are responsible for 10% of all antibiotic prescriptions written in the United States. Antibiotics prescribed when not warranted expose patients to the risk
Broken brain cells repaired in dementia mouse model: If translated to humans, results suggest new directions for combating cognitive decline in elderly
Dysfunctional neurons in the hippocampus of adult female mice modeling dementia can be repaired and reconnected to distant parts of the brain, reports a new study published in JNeurosci. The similarity between the mouse model and the human condition underscores the therapeutic potential of targeting these cells in dementia patients. The hippocampus generates new brain
Exercise: Psych patients' new primary prescription
When it comes to inpatient treatment of a range of mental health and mood disorders — from anxiety and depression to schizophrenia, suicidality and acute psychotic episodes — a new study advocates for exercise, rather than psychotropic medications, as the primary prescription and method of intervention. Findings from the study reveal that physical exercise is
Brain network activity can improve in epilepsy patients after surgery
Successful epilepsy surgery can improve brain connectivity similar to patterns seen in people without epilepsy, according to a new study published in the journal Neurosurgery. The Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) study of 15 people with temporal lobe epilepsy is the first to show improvements in brain networks after surgery compared to a group of
Older adults expect to lose brain power, but most don't ask doctors how to prevent dementia: Many in their 50s and early 60s buy supplements or do puzzles in hopes of protecting brain health, but may miss out on effective strategies
Many Americans in their 50s and early 60s are worried about declining brain health, especially if they have loved ones with memory loss and dementia, a new national poll finds. But while the majority of those polled say they take supplements or do puzzles in an effort to stave off brain decline, very few of
Appendix removal associated with development of Parkinson's disease: Data from 62 million records explores relationship between the gut and the nervous system disorder
Patients who had their appendix removed were more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those whose appendix remained in place, according to the largest study to address the relationship between the two conditions. The retrospective study involving more than 62 million patient records from 26 health systems will be presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW)
Anger more harmful to health of older adults than sadness: Associated with increased inflammation, which can lead to chronic disease, study says
Anger may be more harmful to an older person's physical health than sadness, potentially increasing inflammation, which is associated with such chronic illnesses as heart disease, arthritis and cancer, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association. "As most people age, they simply cannot do the activities they once did, or they may
Connecting neurons in the brain
The brain consists of a large collection of interconnected neurons. How complex patterns of neuronal cells grow into functioning circuits during development has fascinated researchers for decades. A team of scientists at VIB and KU Leuven has now uncovered a new signaling mechanism in fruit flies that specifies the formation of neuronal circuits in the
Researchers define Alzheimer's-like brain disorder: LATE symptoms resembles Alzheimer's disease but has different cause
A brain disorder that mimics symptoms of Alzheimer's disease has been defined with recommended diagnostic criteria and guidelines for advancing future research on the condition. Researchers at Rush University Medical Center and scientists from several National Institutes of Health-funded institutions, in collaboration with international peers, described the newly-named pathway to dementia, Limbic-predominant Age-related TDP-43 Encephalopathy,
Early lipids boost brain growth for vulnerable micro-preemies
Dietary lipids, already an important source of energy for tiny preemies, also provide a much-needed brain boost by significantly increasing global brain volume as well as increasing volume in regions involved in motor activities and memory, according to research presented during the Pediatric Academic Societies 2019 Annual Meeting.

The Nyame Dua of the Akan and Nyur Shrines of the Dagara
by Theresa | Apr 2, 2014 | About Divination
The soul tree or Nyame Dua of the ancient Akan of Ghana was a sacred tree that served as the village shrine connecting the community to the Goddess Nyame through the ancient ancestresses of the clan. The ancestresses were worshiped and fed at this shrine and served as intermediaries between the clan and Nyame, the genetrix Goddess of the original fire.
This shrine was tended to by the Queenmother as this tribe was matriarchal. The Queenmother was the one who facilitated the relationship between the ancestral realm and the living by making offerings to the tree shrine and carrying out her divinatory work.
The soul tree or fire-tree, gya dua, was often a fig. The fig tree was seen to be a representation of Nyame. The red fruit represented her original fire. The women must have either carried the tree from the former location or used its branches or seeds to maintain the continuous connection with the roots and medicine of original tree.
Fig trees were also worshiped out in sacred groves removed from the village. There, together with her priestesses, the Queenmother performed sacred and special rituals for the good of the community. Initiations and group "soul washings" also took place out in this grove.
As time progressed, the palm tree also became a symbol of Nyame and her original fire.
In The Akan of Ghana, Eva Meyerowitz writes of how at later dates, when the encroaching patriarchal worldview and European colonization was already taking place, in every compound except the Queenmother's, there was still kept an altar dedicated to the Supreme Being, Nyame. It is called Nyame Dua (Nyame's tree). These shrines are active and honored in many tribes in West Africa yet today. The shrine is constructed of a tree branch placed into the earth with three or four cut branches at the top creating a basket shape in which is placed a vessel containing water and Nyame's axe, "a symbol of strength and power. The people in the compound bless themselves with this water, praising Nyame and also give her thank-offerings as protectoress of their dwelling."*
The astounding part about this information is that I have the exact shrine in my shrine room. In the West African tradition I am initiated into, it is called a Nyur shrine. Nyur is translated to soul rootedness and the installation of the Nyur shrine is a ritual to root the medicine deeply into the earth for the good of the community in which a diviner works. This is clearly an Nyame Dua, Nyame's tree, a fire tree or soul tree. It is clear that the Nyame Dua and the Nyur shrine are continuation of this ancient practice of soul trees carried out by the Queenmothers of the ancient matriarchal Akan.
Soul rootedness and rootedness of a medicine lineage can only happen by being rooted to source, original fire, as well as deeply in the earth. When we understand our place in the vastness of the cosmos, our deep connection with that which gave birth to all, and are able root this connection to the earth plane for the good of our communities, only then are we truly rooted. Understanding that this is a tree dedicated to the Goddess of original fire, Nyame, has only deepened my appreciation for this ancient medicine.

Catch up on the entire After "I Do"? series?here! And if you have a burning question you'd like to see discussed, submit it?here!
What do you call your mother in law? Is it the same thing you called her before you were married, or did you make a switch?
Before we were married I avoided calling my MIL anything because I wasn't sure what to call her. I would just stare in her general direction and hope that she would look up so that we could talk. Mature, I know. But, now that we are married (and even before we were married if my stare trick didn't work) I call her by her first name. It's how she introduced herself to me, and avoiding calling her anything (especially when I need to call her on the phone) just doesn't work.
I call her by her first name, which is the same thing that I called her before we were married.
I call my MIL by her first name. The first time I met her when Mr. FF and I were dating, I referenced her as "Mrs. LastName," and she quickly asked for me to call her by her first name only. Easy peasy for me!
In the beginning, I called her "Mrs. ——." As we grew to know each other, I just called her by her first name, and still do after our wedding. Mr. D calls my parents by their first names too. The whole calling in-laws "mom" and "dad" is a weird thing for me.
I'm also in the first name camp. Though, for his dad, I call him Papa T. He gets a kick out of it!
Ohhh my gosh. This is embarrassing. Before we were married, I called her "Mrs. XYZ." And now? Come to think of it…in the past YEAR I have been at my in laws' house for Sunday lunches almost every week, but I have never once used her name! What?!?! I guess if it came down to it, I'd use her first name…but it feels WEIRD to think about that.
I'm a first namer too. I asked Lambster what I should call her when we were dating and that's what I've called her since. I figured she'd correct me if she wanted something else.
I have 2 MILs (I know, lucky me): a step-MIL and Mr Frenchie's Mom. I call them both by their first name. No-one ever said please call me this, like my parents did for Mr Frenchie, so I just went with first names and figured they could correct me if they wanted. In the case of my step-MIL, Mr Frenchie calls her by her first name, so that was easy. However, with my MIL, Mr Frenchie obviously calls her mom and everyone else calls her by her nickname, Sue. I do still feel a little odd calling her Sue instead of Susan, but I usually just go with what I'm feeling at the time or just use the look directly at her and start taking method.
I call her by her first name, which is what I did before we were married (or the just start talking method which seems to be popular with others!). She usually signs emails and things with "Mom First Initial" which I think is sweet, but I don't think I'd be comfortable just calling her mom all the time (that's what I call my mom!).
I've always called my mother-in-law by her first name, and continued to do so after the wedding. She's not my mom; she's Linda, and so that's what I call her.
I've always called her by her first name. Well, to be more respectful, I always say Ms. -first name-. Calling her mom never crossed my mind, because my mom is my only mom.
I call her by her first name. Always have, always will. The thought of calling anyone besides my own mom "mom" just weirds me out. Not for me!
In my family, EVERYONE calls their in laws mom and dad. Growing up, this never seemed strange to me. Is this a Pittsburgh thing? An Italian thing? Who knows. After getting engaged, however, I started thinking about it, and I realized that I couldn't call someone mom or dad who weren't my parents. Burger's family calls in laws by first name, so it had never occurred to him to call my parents?mom or dad.
Prior to getting married, we called each others' parents Mr./Mrs. ____, and now we call them by first name. I think my mom would LOVE for Burger to call her mom, but my siblings and I call her by her nickname a lot anyway. Interestingly though, Burger and I both call each others' extended family members aunt/uncle/grandma/grandpa! I think it's because it seems too informal to call them by first name.
For the first few years, I avoided calling my MIL anything at all. Eventually, I became comfortable enough to use first names with my in-laws, which is what I still do, and Mr. HC for my parents. However, we are still working out how to write joint mail/cards. If I'm writing to my parents, no problem, I write "mom" or "dad" and sign both our names. But if it is for my in-laws, I have Mr. HC write it and sign our names—I feel funny calling them "mom" and "dad" because I would never do that in real life!
Count me in the "nothing" camp. Mr T's parents never expressed their wishes or introduced themselves to me in a certain way. It seems too informal to call 70-somethings (at least non-American ones) by their first name, and they're definitely not the "mom and dad" type.
Which is all to say—thank heavens for having a kid! It opens up a whole new world to the "nothing" camp once you can refer to your in-laws as grandma and grandpa (or amah and akong, in our case).
I call her by her first name in person, usually, or "MIL" in email or Facebook. If I'm feeling playful, I address her as Mom or Nana, but only in pretty specific contexts.
I'm her third kid-in-law, so my SILs set the tone before I came around; things might have been different if they hadn't.
Hahaha, I'm just like FroYo, Buttons, Hermit Crab and Tulip. I'll be all "hey…you" while looking at her. Or talk loudly in her general direction. I have called her by her first name, and I believe that's what she'd be fine with…but it just seems odd for me to do it. Ditto with my FIL. So really, I just look at them and talk if possible. But if I need to get their attention, I'll call our their first names.
I'm like quite a few of the others too: I kinda avoid calling her anything…bad daughter-in-law. She signs all her emails and cards with "Mom" and her other daughter-in-law calles her that, but I just can't. It's too weird for me. At the moment we live halfway around the world from my in-laws, so I can stick with this method of not calling her anything for awhile, but I know I will have eventually call her something. Maybe I will just pop out a grandchild for them so I can call her Grandma. Ha. I would prefer to call her by her first name, which is what Mr E uses for my parents, but I'm not sure if they approve of that. It is a little hard to tell. Ah well, that is a problem for Future Mrs Earrings to handle!
Zeb comes from a formal family. I addressed my friends parents by their first names but Zeb always did the Mr. & Mrs. Last Name thing. I was introduced to his parents as Mr. and Mrs. Last Name. (Zeb shares the same first name as his father.) I always addressed his parents as Mr. & Mrs until I began working with his mother when she asked me to call her by her first name. I still don't know what to call his father because it is awkward for me to call him and Zeb the same name. (Most of Zeb's family calls him by his middle name—it gets confusing.) I continued calling him Mr. until a few months ago when I started calling him Papa Zeb jokingly. It's stuck and it works, so I'm sticking with it.
Funny story: after many awkward months of not knowing if I should go FirstName or Mrs. LastName Mr. Seashell's Mom called me on the phone. I thought to myself, "Perfect! She'll say who's on the phone and I'll know how to address her." Not so much.
Ugh. Problem not solved. Weeks later I teased her and said she ruined my opportunity of knowing what to call her. We later settled on FirstName.
What do you call your mother in law?

Google Street View Launches UK wide
Google Maps have today launched Google StreetView imagery for the entire UK and we mean the entire UK! Nearly a quarter of a million roads across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now available to 'walk' down from your computer screen. The 360 degree pictures mean you can have a good look around as you travel down the street, and you can deep zoom into the images to see the detail (although faces and registration plates are blurred out in accordance to the privacy protection rules).
But Google have been even busier than that: they have also released Google Street View imagery covering the majority of France, Italy and Spain too.
Although Google Street View has been available in 25 major cities in the UK since March 2009, to now have Street View right across the UK is a phenomenal achievement from the Google Maps team and will be changing the way people use online maps to display geographical information in interactive maps. The StreetView maps can be embedded into any website to help businesses display their location and any geographical information on a map, immediately we see major benefits from property mapping and travel mapping.
For anyone that's interested you can now see where all the Earthware fun happens: View Larger Map

Tara Jenkins and Justin Westcroft used to be childhood BFFs. Now in high school, Justin's a popular, all-star athlete, and Tara spends her days admiring him from afar. But when Tara saves Justin from nearly drowning in a freak accident, he's unable to get her out of his mind. In no time at all, Tara and Justin fall deeply in love. And even though it's only high school, they seem destined for a Happily Ever After.
Until tragedy strikes—and this time, Justin's not so lucky. Tara passes through her days as a shell of her former self: Justin's dead, but she can still feel his presence, and she can't seem to let him go.
But there's a reason for that, and it's not just grief: Justin is In Between, and he's still holding on.
They say that when someone saves you, you're tied to them for life. But what about in the afterlife?
Note: This eARC was provided by Full Fathom Five via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The plot was semi-cliche and rather uncaptivating. The beginning also didn't hook me so I quickly lost interest. Usually I love books with a little romance and cute relationships but Tara and Justin's relationship just felt really cliche (cheesy) to me. The pace was also too slow for me and I felt like some of the scenes could be edited out.
Would I recommend it? Sorry but no – I found it average at best.


There are many medals in the world. There are Olympic medals that are won by athletes in the winter or fall every two years. People seem to love watching gymnastics and figure skating as they applaud the many medal winners at the Olympic Games. In addition, the crème de la crème of scientists, artists, religious leaders, authors, and political leaders are awarded Nobel Prizes every year. They are awarded money and a medal. This medal isn't a miraculous medal. However, they might think that it was a miracle that they won the Nobel Prize in the first place. Yes, winning a Nobel Prize is a hard thing to do; but winning it is a result of hard work, not a miracle. The medal for the Nobel Prize has nothing to do with miracles. This is because miraculous medals are religious. Let's discuss a miraculous medal that is religious.
Did you know that the Miraculous Medal is also known as the Medal of Immaculate Conception? This religious medal is a medal created by Saint Catherine Laboure. She created it because she saw a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It might be interesting to know that both some Catholic Christians and non- Catholic wear the Miraculous Medal because they believe that it will bring them special graces through the intercession with of Mary. It is essential that the religious medal must be worn with both faith and devotion on their deathbed. It is also important to know that such an item of devotion isn't a charm. Therefore, it shouldn't be viewed as magical. This religious medal is only to be seen, and to serve as a constant physical reminder of one's faith and devotion to God and Jesus.
Did you also know that the chapel where Saint experienced her visions is located in Paris France. This might make perfect sense because many great culinary, artistic discoveries are started in Paris France. In addition, this chapel gets daily visits from Catholic pilgrims today. Another exciting tidbit about the medal involves Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul II used a variation of the image of the Miraculous Medal as his coat of arms. The coat of arms had an M and a cross it. This is because he knew that Miraculous Medals are religious.

Q: Return Grid to original Column & Row location I have a main grid (10 columns/ 10 rows) with a few "sub-grids". The column/row locations of these "sub-grids" are set using bindings and change from record to record. Example: subGrid_1 is positioned in the main grid's column 5/row 5. Using a MouseEnter event, subGrid_1 is moved to the main grid's column 1/row 1 with the following code:
Grid.SetColumn(subGrid_1,1);
Grid.SetRow(subGrid_1,1);

The problem I'm having is finding a way to get subGrid_1 to go back to the original column 5/row 5 location during the MouseLeave event.
Additional Info: There is a "control" grid dedicated to capturing the the MouseEnter\Leave events. This grid is seperate and not affected by the mouse events. When the MouseEnter fires, it correctly moves the subgrid to col 1\row 1, other code hides the remaining subgrids. When the MouseLeave fires, everything returns to normal (visiblilty), except the subgrid stays in col 1\row 1 instead of return to it's original position. The original subgrid positions are kept in a xml doc and change record to record. One thing I noticed - once a subgrid is moved its permanent even if the record changes.

Some Conservative lawmakers open to Corbyn Brexit talks - Sky
LONDON (Reuters) - Four senior lawmakers who are opposed to a no-deal Brexit are open to discussing the leader of the opposition's plan to try to bring down Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Sky News reported on Thursday.
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn wrote to leaders of opposition parties and to the three Conservative lawmakers and one independent to ask them to back his plan to form a caretaker government, delay Brexit and call a parliamentary election to resolve the issue.
Sky said the four lawmakers had told Corbyn they were open to discussing options, although one - Caroline Spelman - later told the broadcaster she could not back a Corbyn government in any circumstances.

The Multiple Uses of Lime Trees (Tilia)
Thursday, 27th October 2016
Martin Crawford explains the multiple uses of the deciduous lime/linden (Tilia), from edible leaves, flowers, and seeds to fibre, bast cordage, green manure, and timber.
The limes / lindens / basswoods are a group of trees from North America, Europe and Asia, all potentially large trees with fragrant flowers. There is a long history of the leaves of many lime species being used for food in many regions; similarly, the flowers have been used (particularly to make herb teas).
Limes: Growth, Flowers, Roots
Limes are all large trees with spreading crowns living 200-300 years+ (longer if coppiced or pollarded) originating in mixed woodlands. Trees are quite wind-firm and do not often sucker (apart from T. x vulgaris which can sucker widely.) The bark is smooth and silver-grey. Leaves are broadly heart shaped, varying in size from small leaved lime (3.5-6cm/1.4-2.4ins wide) to large leaved lime (5-12cm/2-5ins wide).
Flowers are yellowish-white, very fragrant (sweet scented), in pendulous clusters on long slender stalks with a leaf-like bract at the base (the bract assisting with seed dispersal) in summer. The flowers are insect pollinated, often by bees.
Fruits are round, 6-12mm (0.3-0.5ins) across and thin shelled; ripening in October, they are very attractive to wildlife including mice and small mammals.
Lime trees have a deep and wide-spreading root system. They have a remarkable tenacity for life and are more or less indestructible: as old stems collapse, new sprouts arise and essentially trees coppice themselves; trees which fall over often retain part of their root system and sprout not only from the base, but also from where the stems rest on the ground.
Uses of Lime (tilia)
The young leaves are edible raw (stalks removed), being mild, thick, cooling and mucilaginous. Pleasant eating in salads or as a sandwich filling. Coppicing or pollarding may be desirable for leaf harvesting, keeping the plants shrubby and more leaves within reach; young leaves are produced throughout the growing season on coppiced plants. Small leaved lime can be pollarded every 3-4 years and large leaved lime annually to produce a bush no more than 3m (10ft) high.
The immature fruits, ground up with some flowers, produce an edible paste much like chocolate in flavour. Attempts to introduce its manufacture in the 18th century failed because the keeping qualities were poor; presumably, these could be overcome nowadays. The flowers are used in herb teas (see medicinal uses below) and in confectionery. The sap is edible, tapped and used in the same way as maples. See maples (p.120) for more details.
The flowers (collected with the bracts) have well-known medicinal properties, and when dried are pharmacologically called Tiliae flos. They contain 3% mucilage, sugar, wax, tannin, amino acids, flavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol) and traces of an essential oil. They have antispasmodic, diuretic, expectorant, haemostatic, nervine and sedative properties and calm the nerves, lower blood pressure, increase perspiration, relax spasms and improve digestion. Lime-flower tea has been used for many centuries as an antidote to fever in cold and 'flu sufferers. It is still much used in herbal medicine for hypertension, hardening of the arteries, cardiovascular and digestive complaints associated with anxiety, urinary infections, fevers, catarrh, migraine and headaches.
The flowers are also used commercially in cosmetics, mouthwashes and bath lotions. The flowers should be picked and dried as soon as they open – they reputedly develop narcotic properties with age.
The charcoal made from the wood is specially used for smoking certain foodstuffs. It is also used medicinally (e.g. for gastric problems), being an effective vasodilator.
Bees are extremely fond of lime flowers, feeding on both nectar and pollen, and sometimes also collect the honeydew left by aphids on the leaves. Lime honey made from the flowers is still a major commercial enterprise in many parts of Europe; it has a very pleasant slightly minty flavour and a greenish tinge to its colour. In Europe, the honey is used for flavouring liqueurs and medicines. Stands of large leaved lime can yield 250-800kg honey/ha (223-714lb/ac). Honeydew honey is golden to almost black in colour, with a rich flavour reminiscent of dried figs; some honeydew honeys are highly prized in Europe.
The young bark (or bast) was formerly much used for rope, basketry, clothing and shoes, mats and roof coverings. (See box for more details: www.green-shopping.co.uk/trees-for-gardens-orchards-and-permaculture.html) The bast fibres can also be used to make a paper: trees are harvested in spring or summer, and steamed until the fibres can be stripped; the fibres are cooked for two hours with lye, then beaten in a ball mill. The resulting paper is beige in colour.
Suckers are straight and flexible, and can be used for basketry (particularly for making handles). The foliage is much relished by cattle, both green and dried and made into hay; in Norway and Sweden this was an important agroforestry practice. It is said to impart an unpleasant flavour to the milk of lactating cows. The leaves are high in nitrogen and phosphorus, similar to those of nitrogen-fixing trees like alders and black locust (small leaved lime has 2.8% N, 0.22% P, 0.9% K; dry weight). They improve soil structure and fertility over time, acting like a green manure, and increase the earthworm population; they also reduce acidification, raising the pH.
Another factor that enriches soils beneath trees is the honeydew secreted by the lime aphid: deposits on the ground of 1kg of sugars/m2 (1.8lb/yd2) per year have been recorded, and these sugars may stimulate the growth of nitrogen-fixing bacteria around the trees. The leaf litter decomposes rapidly.
Limes are wind-firm and suitable for including in shelterbelts; it also makes a good component of a hedge, tolerating frequent cutting. Limes are major forest trees cultivated for timber in some regions. The timber has a fairly broad sapwood layer; both sapwood and heartwood are usually whitish-yellow (sometimes light brown or reddish). On drying, the timber contracts moderately to severely. The dried timber is light (560kg/m3, 35 lb/ft3 at 15% moisture – one of the lightest broadleaved timbers in Europe) and easy to handle, soft, tough, moderately strong, stable, very fine and even grained, pliable, not durable; it is susceptible to woodworm attack. It is used for making drawing and cutting boards, toys, turnery, piano keys, small boxes, barrels and chests, barrel bungs, also for carving, veneers, bee hive interiors (because of its freedom from taints) and good quality charcoal (used for artists' charcoal and formerly for gunpowder). In Russia it is used in furniture manufacture and for many purposes for which plastics are now used. It accepts preservatives easily and can then be used as a softwood substitute for fencing etc.
Limes coppice strongly, producing long straight poles valued for sustainable fuel production and turnery uses. The coppicing rotation period is usually 25-30 years, but short-rotation coppice is feasible. Coppiced lime stools are virtually indestructible; there is one coppice ancient stool at Westonbirt Arboretum in the UK that is estimated to be 2,000 years old; its age attributed to fairly long rotation coppicing with occasional layering of arching stems.

'Cuisse de Nymphe émue' est une variété ancienne de rosiers issue d'une variation de 'Cuisse de Nymphe' dont elle se distingue surtout par la teinte de la fleur d'un rose carné un peu plus soutenu. Elle a été sélectionnée par le rosiériste français Jean-Pierre Vibert.

Description
C'est un arbuste buisson vigoureux de  de haut environ.

La fleur a une corolle très double aux pétales innombrables et bouillonnés, d'un rose carné assez soutenu au centre, pâlissant sur les bords. Elle est très parfumée.

C'est un cultivar de Rosa ×alba (rose blanche). On l'appelle aussi par les noms communs donnés à Rosa ×alba incarnata, 'Belle Thérèse', 'Rosier Blanc Royal', 'La Royale' et en anglais  qui sont donc utilisés indifféremment pour Rosa ×alba 'Incarnata', 'Cuisse de Nymphe' et 'Cuisse de Nymphe émue'.

The energy at Stubb's reached a fever pitch once the lights went out. The silhouette of Kali Uchis appeared center stage behind a curtain drenched in red light. Softly singing the opening of "Dead To Me," the singer emerged from behind the curtain to a wall of screams from her adoring fans. This tour is as huge a moment for the Colombian-American singer as it is for her fans. With the release of "Isolation," she finally has an arsenal of songs to perform during what will undoubtedly be her most intimate shows, as her meteoric rise is justly destined for arena shows. It is a unique time to be a Kali Uchis fan, and her die-hards know it.
Uchis has mastered her performance over the last few years. She maintained eye contact with the crowd for the entire evening while pulling out carefully choreographed dance moves to tracks like "I Feel Love" and "Flight 22,"; the whole amphitheater moved to the vibe. It's quite a sight to see what an influence she has on her fans who have emulated her style down to the tiniest details and sing along to every song without ever missing a word. Her strong suit is her Spanish language performances, a subtle but firm reminder of how aware she is of her roots. In this, we got "Nuestra Planeta" and a cover of Gloria Trevi's "Todos Me Miran," to which the audience dutifully sang along. Uchis played an 18 song set that concluded appropriately with "Body Language" She is an artist on the verge of superstardom, not based on one performance but on her ability to connect and influence her audience in both style and attitude, a feat easier said than done. We will meet up with Kali Uchis next month in California at Tropicalia Fest and are ready for another party.

Congo Sets up Team to Investigate Plane Crash
2011-03-22 14:57:35 Xinhua Web Editor: Yu
The Republic of Congo government has set up a joint committee to investigate the cause of the crash of a cargo plane which happened on Monday in the country's second largest city of Pointe-Noire.
A source from the country's civil aviation authority told Xinhua that the provisional death toll from the plane crash is 14, and several others were seriously injured.
The committee is comprised of government members, representatives of the police service as well as private operators in the air transport sector.
A few hours after the accident which happened at 3:30 p.m. local time (1430GMT), a special plane carrying officials from the country's transport ministry, civil aviation authority, police investigators and officials of the Trans Air Congo company flew to Pointe-Noire to examine the situation on the ground.
Police said Monday that the dead included two pilots, two machinists and five passengers who had illegally boarded the plane. Police warned that more casualties may be reported.
The plane from the Congolese capital Brazzaville crashed into a residential area in the city failing to land on the sea, because of mechanic problems.
Ambulances rushed to the scene to move the bodies of victims to a morgue and the injured to the hospital, the witnesses said.
The accident was the second in the Central African country since 2009, when an Antonov cargo plane crashed in the suburbs of Brazzaville.
In 2008, the Congolese government banned the type of Antonov from being used as a passenger plane.
