The London Free Press has undermined their standing to mount a legal challenge to a bona fide publication ban and have castrated themselves of being a fair voice.
Posted on October 8, 2015 by brettbatten
"Keeping in mind her safety. The Free Press never identified her during this week's trial, even though there wasn't a court-ordered publication ban." Free Press
My father was a newspaper editor. He told me once that he often had mothers plead with him to keep Johnny's name out of the newspaper; specifically the court reporting. My father knew all these people personally as it was a small community. It must have been difficult but he had the integrity to follow ethical and unequivocal news standards. He published my ex-wife's name when she plead guilty to assault and he would have published mine had he been alive. It was an unenviable position but in some ways it was the easier avenue for my father. If he omitted Johnny's name he would have to do so for others. The criteria would become chaotic. What would you use as a guide? Do I publish some, a few or just you?
What protocol was followed or not followed in the case of keeping secret the identities of those involved in this case? If the court did not proclaim any issues of safety, who revealed or how were they fashioned by the Free Press? There are rules to publication bans and I think Londoners should be informed of the Free Press instances and exclusions. Is it willy nilly? Does the court reporter throw a coin in the air and call heads? Should I contact the sports editor to find out what the exclusions are? If the court found no legal or so called safety issue and therefore imposed no publication ban what grounds did the London Free Press have? Who advised the Free Press that safety was an issue?
The first day this woman's identity was unfoundedly protected the London Free Press coverage became prejudiced. It is difficult to protect a victim without creating an offender. It can only be inferred that the Free Press assumed the accused to be guilty prior to him being officially found or in this case claiming to be so. At the point of secrecy both individuals were only alleged.
The London Free Press and or Sun Media have undermined their standing to mount a legal challenge to a bona fide publication ban. They have castrated themselves of being a voice for the community and seem to have an agenda and or are influenced by certain agencies and individuals.
"Keeping in mind safety," will the Free Press also refrain from revealing identities in other cases? What are the parameters? Who provides the litmus? Is it to be reserved only for alleged victims or will the accused also at times be protected? There are verdicts of not guilty. Will the London Free Press protect an alleged offender? The revelation of their identity creates conditions which are unsafe for them and their families. Some people are only ever accused. What about the accused who will never be found guilty? What about individuals who are Not Criminally Responsible? It is difficult to argue that Vincent Li who killed Tim McLean wouldn't be safer if his identity was protected.
If find it frightening that the Free Press has taken it upon themselves to identify those worthy of anonymity for safety or any reason outside of a court decision. It flies in the face of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the presumption of innocence.

The London Free Press needs to do more to ensure both codified and uncodified ethics and standards are followed.#MorrisandMeghan
Posted on January 21, 2015 by brettbatten
Some fairly literate individuals told me that there was some kind of familial relationship between Morris Dalla Costa of the London Free Press and Meghan Walker of the London Abused Women's Centre. I hope I'm not letting the "cat" out of the bag but this liaison worries me as a citizen of London. I wouldn't want to call the objectivity of the London Free Press into question for they can do so themselves.
It's none of my business what Morris Dalla Costa does with his business but someone in a somewhat removed position might want to inquire as to the access given to Meghan Walker and the London Abused Women's Centre by the London Free Press.
How many quotes from Meghan Walker and the London Abused Women's Centre have made it into the London Free Press lately and in the last decade? How many questions were asked? How many journalists at the London Free Press are free enough of Morris Dalla Costa and his legacy to slide a toe beyond political pushing's and mandates to cast a fair eye to the workings and dealings of the London Abused Women's Centre?
What is the relationship between the London Free Press and Meghan Walker? Is what goes into and comes out of the London Women's Abused Centre fairly scrutinized? How does the London Abused Women's Centre translate into action? In what way does the London Abused Women's Centre assist and accommodate unproven victims? What is the rate of conviction for cases that the London Abused Women's Centre is involved with? What services are available to men who are in abusive relationships in the city of London? Is the relationship between Meghan Walker and the London Free Press creating favouritism in reporting?
Should a journalist use their position and the resources of the newspaper they are employed by to present, promote and publish their partner's personal agenda? I'm not saying Meghan Walker is using the London Free Press to substantiate and disseminate her personal beliefs but I am convinced her partner has done and is doing something similar. How else do you explain someone whose sentence structure revolves around sports scores and standings vehemently voicing and in fact attacking individuals with views that differ from his partner?
To paint a similar picture, what if Morris Dalla Costa was married to the mayor? Would Londoner's be given a clear view of mayoral mismanagement or would we have to swallow matrimonial musings? What if Morris is an abused husband? It becomes difficult to be objective. If ever Meghan Walker or the London Abused Women's Centre become involved in something disreputable who will cover the story? Morris Dalla Costa? Morris's colleagues?
If only for optics the London Free Press needs to make a substitution and place Morris in the bleachers.
The more someone is displayed to the justice system as a victim, prior to proof, the more someone is then presented as a perpetrator, prior to proof. We need to assist individuals who have been harmed but care must be taken not to lubricate litigation?
I'm not much of a reporter. It was my father who was the editor. I'm sure he would have altered a few of my words but I think he would have asked similar questions. My father once told me of having to deal with pleading parents who wanted him to omit "Johnny's" name from the court news. He published the name of someone I knew once but I did not approach him with similar pleadings because I was aware of his integrity and that of his newspaper.
Outside of an editorial piece a newspaper should not be a personal playground for opinion. Readers become confused by what is fact and what is fancy. Londoners deserve and expect fair and accurate coverage of all individuals, organizations and events. Truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality and fairness are cornerstones of journalism, not hurdles.
I hold the London Free Press responsible for turning the Bill Cosby affair into a circus. I am saddened that the London Free Press slipped into the seat of juror number five but what is worse is that they chose themselves for this duty and returned with a version of the verdict without hearing all the evidence.
As a community and a society we depend on journalists respecting the presumption of innocence. When journalists become judges, courtrooms become carnivals and the mob mentality of medieval times manifests itself as a modern form of justice.
In my opinion readers of the London Free Press have been deliberately manipulated with selective reporting. To maintain public trust the London Free Press must be independent and accountable.
After insulting me Morris Dalla Costa blocked me from viewing his official London Free Press Twitter account. Is that what they call "yellow journalism"? Obviously Morris is shy on wit but I would have assumed a sportscaster would be a good sport. Thanks for forfeiting the game.
In my opinion the London Free Press needs to start using all the crayons in the box. Any child will tell you that to do otherwise make interpretation next to impossible.
Everyone has the right to hold opinions without interference. I am unsure if Morris Dalla Costa blocking me from his London Free Press Twitter account is interference but it is surely not accessibility. To do so in the event of harassment is understandable or even necessary but my communications were only civil. His basis for doing so seems to be a disagreement in values which in my opinion is healthy to both democracy and freedom. If we look critically at the coverage of the London Free Press it is not difficult to find media bias and sensationalism. Neither serves justice or democracy.
I don't care what Morris muses over his morning coffee but his duties as a journalist require professional integrity. Without it his credibility and that of the paper he represents crumble.
In the case of calling me a "sheep" in an official London Free Press Tweet it should have fallen to another employee to implement independent fact-checking. Preferably one who does not sleep with Meghan Walker. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance.
Journalists are required to be judicious about naming criminal suspects before a formal filing of charges. There must be a balance between a criminal suspect's right to a fair trial and the public's right to be informed. This I did not see.
The London Free Press must earn and maintain their reputation by implementing ethical standards. If ethical standards have no place with the London Free Press readers should be informed so the puppy can pee on the paper prior to perusal. The coverage applied by the London Free Press to the Bill Cosby case was not far from tabloidism. If the London Free Press is entertainment rather than news I apologize and will wait patiently for coverage on Elvis sightings.
The London Free Press needs to do more to ensure both codified and uncodified ethics and standards are followed.
I usually flip to the back of the textbook for answers but again, I would suggest keeping Morris Dalla Costa on the sidelines.

Did Megan Walker pause to consider that some Londoners might value due process and the right to be presumed innocent?
Posted on January 9, 2015 by brettbatten
I believe any fair organization that benefits any citizen has every right to be supported by any who choose. Of recently I have become concerned with one of London's community organizations. Specifically, Megan Walker and the London Abused Women's Centre. Their public statements and actions have me concerned. I am a simple man but my vision of the situation is an uncharged American has been targeted by this individual if not this organization.
"To have him appear in public is inconsistent with the values of London," said Megan Walker, executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre.
I don't get out much but when did Mayor Matt Brown make Megan Walker the Value Commissioner?
Does the self-described radical feminist and executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre have a pulse on the values of London?
I'm afraid of someone who thinks she knows the values of London considering all the cultures, religions and experiences of a population in the hundreds of thousands.
I hope I don't have to eat my words by finding out she has a PhD in values assessment. Is she going to try and tell Londoners what can appear on their Netflix?
What if I proclaim that having Megan Walker appear in public is inconsistent with the values of London? If what she thinks is valid and should be prescribed to the entire population of London why can't I attempt the same? Lucky for Megan Walker I'm unlikely to be on FM 96 or at the helm of an organization with avenues and influence politically and with the press.
I am curious to know why Megan Walker appears to have an aversion to due process and the presumption of innocence. Both are for the protection of all citizens even her and the mayor.
Londoners who support the London Abused Women's Centre have a right to ask Megan Walker:
Will the London Abused Women's Centre be campaigning against uncharged Canadian citizens and if so what criteria will be used to decide on an appropriate action?
Are Megan Walkers public opinions to be considered the official position of the London Abused Women's Centre?
What parts of the law will the London Abused Women's Centre be supporting for the remainder of the charter year?
What documentation was used to guide the statements and actions of the London Abused Women's Centre regarding this uncharged American?
Are their recent actions a precedent and what measures of proof will the London Abused Women's Centre use as a guide to similar actions against Canadian citizens?
There is no need to win the battles of public opinion unless you thirst for something justice will not deliver.

I was screaming about "21 feet" so they weren't justified in shooting anything, but they were already 10 feet away. They finally got my dog away from me and I turned around and stripped naked without prompting. "On the floor." And they pinned me to the floor with their Plexiglas shields and handcuffed me. The paramedics gave me a needle in the ass and I was placed on the gurney I had kicked over when they parked it at my front door.

Since Sony still owns the movie rights to Spider-Man, their upcoming experiment with Marvel Studios to add the web-slinger to the MCU is being carefully watched by fans. Since otherwise, only Marvel Studios makes MCU movies, it was unclear what Sony's doing with their upcoming spinoff films Venom and Silver Sable/Black Cat.
"Both movies will all take place in the world that we're now creating for Peter Parker. I mean, they'll be adjuncts to it, there may be different locations, but it will still all be in the same world and they will be connected to each other."
Considering that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige (the other person in that interview, who looks confused by Pascal) has more explicitly stated that Venom will not be apart of the MCU, the word "adjuncts" might be the key to unraveling this confusing mess. As in, don't expect to see Tom Hardy's Venom in any Avengers film, but Spider-Man might show up in Sony's Venom film. Sony's movies would exist on the fringes in this case, not ever referencing any big Infinity War-esque events.
That honestly wouldn't be too difficult, since Marvel's other shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and their Netflix shows are already pretty separate from the films. If that's still complicated, then think about it in "movie studio" terms - Marvel Studios already has their movies and characters lined up, and Sony wants to get in on that in what little ways they can.
Also, it's very possible that Sony just doesn't know exactly what they're doing yet. Considering they've rebooted Spidey three times in the past decade, that explanation actually makes the most sense here. We'll know soon enough.
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters July 7, 2017, while Venom is scheduled to come out October 5, 2018.


Squash and racquetball are played around the world and enjoyed by people of all ages and both sexes. It seems to be Universally enjoyable to simply hit a ball against a wall or to an opponent with a racquet. There is also an intense pleasure To be had in playing a challenging head-to-head competition.
Many people think of tennis as the perfect game for a lifetime. Young people, beginners and experienced players can continue to improve their game for years with coaching and knowledge.
Find a friend of equal skill level or join an organized group or club that has members with varying levels of expertise.
Always warm up and cool down. Start your warm up with some light locomotors activities to elevate your heart rate and increase the temperature of your muscles. Brisk walking or jogging of your muscles. Brisk walking or jogging to the courts, jogging on the spot and doing jumping jacks are all good locomotors activities. Follow this with some easy practice volleys and serves. Some people also like to do some light 10-second stretches for the Achilles tendon area, legs, and shoulders just before the first game begins.
Purchase a racquet that suits your needs and abilities. Although there are many different shapes and sizes of racquets available, most are variations on the slim-profiled "wide-body" type. Wide-bodies are now accepted as the lightest and strongest frames in the world. They are more maneuverable and stiffer than the old-fashioned wooden style. Wide-bodies are also more powerful and lighter than the slimmer-bodied models.
Choose brand name balls that are sold in pressurized cans. A can of four balls is enough for playing a practice match. If you're using a ball machine or doing exercises with a partner you will need a basket full of second-grade balls.
Wear comfortable, light clothes. Shirts must allow your arms and shoulders freedom to move. Wear socks with cushioned soles and heels. Some facilities may require that you wear all white clothing. Try a headband to keep your hair in place and to stop sweat from running into your eyes. If you tend to perspire heavily, wristbands can keep the perspiration on your arms from rolling onto your hands. When playing outdoors, wear a hat or visor to protect your face from the sun's rays.
Protect your feet and improve your footwork by choosing good tennis shoes. They must provide flexibility and stability and give support to your instep, ankles and Achilles tendons. Different court surfaces require different soles: smooth soles for indoors, pimpled for grass and herringbone for general use. Running shoes are not a good substitute for tennis shoes since they do not allow for additional lateral support necessary when moving side to side.
Gripping the racquet: If you are just starting, try the "eastern forehand" grip by simply shaking hands with your racquet. For backhand shots, hold your index knuckle at the top of the grip. Whether you use one hand or two hands to return balls will depend on your body size and the strength in your arm and wrist. Experiment to find out which is most comfortable for you.
Ready position: Face the net with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent and weight over the balls of your feet. Hold the racquet centrally to prepare yourself to return any type of stroke. Support the racquet head by lightly holding it at the "throat" with your other hand.
Let the racquet drop down and begin to make a counter-clockwise circle. When the racquet reaches shoulder height, let it collapse down your back. From this position, lift and throw your racquet up and out at the ball, hitting the ball on its bottom side. After contact, continue to swing, letting the racquet fall down across your body, producing a hugging effect and creating some forward movement.
Since tennis is stop and go by nature it's not considered a true aerobic activity. To bring it closer to an aerobic activity, keep moving at a steady pace all the time. Bounce on your toes and run to return balls in an easy fashion. Avoid sprinting after balls and temporarily driving your heart rate out of your target heart rate zone. Try working out with a ball machine, ball machines shoot balls to you at 3, 6, or 12-second intervals. Keep moving and bouncing on your toes. You can wear a heart rate monitor to keep track of your heart rate to see if you are in your fat burning zone.
For more of a challenge, add a spin adapter to the ball machine. Its internal oscillator creates a random pattern of shots in length and width.
Try to play singles tennis since it's often more physically demanding than doubles.
Take lessons from a pro. Group lessons are an excellent and economical way to begin. Receiving good instruction and being patient are key to improvement.
Badminton is a sport that involves hitting a shuttlecock made from cork and feathers back and forth across a net with a badminton racquet. The object is to hit the shuttlecock over the net into the opponent's court so that he cannot return it before it hits the ground. Once considered a slow, low-intensity activity, badminton is now recognized as a quick-moving, explosive interval sport much like competitive volleyball or squash.

Q: Visual Basic .Net, keep windows on top of other on-top windows I have created a program that I want to show in the taskbar the whole time. It launches a few keyboard shortcuts when I press their buttons. The program works great, but the windows taskbar needs to be set to always on-top or programs will maximize over it too.
If I have both my programs and the windows taskbar set to be always on top, My program is on-top of the taskbar until I click anywhere in the taskbar, for example to activate another program.
My code is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles MyBase.Load

    Me.Bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
    Me.TopMost = True

    '...
End Sub

I considered using a timer to activate my program once in a while, but the downside to that approach is, that if I am typing in another application and the focus is moved to my program, this is very annoying.
So my question is as follows: Is there a way I can interact with the taskbar so my program is always ontop of it, regardless of anything else, or is it possible to periodically restore the on-top status so my program becomes on-top of the taskbar again without the focus going to my program?
I prefer that my program is always ontop if the taskbar, and clicking the taskbar does not temporarily make my program invisible. For example, if I can set the z-order of my application to a higher level than the taskbar, that would be best. If otherwise I can somehow spawn my program as part of the taskbar, that would also work.
PS: I have enabled the search bar in the taskbar and my program is supposed to cover it entirely. I don't use the search bar and it gives me a dedicated space without worrying covering any open programs.
PS2: This is just for me, no need to worry about anyone who has different preferences. My goal is to optimize my workflow, so the least hastle I have daily, the better.
This is what it looks like when the app runs, but clicking the taskbar makes the window invisible.:

So... How can I make sure my program stays on-top of the taskbar, even if I click somewhere in the taskbar?

A: Apparently the solution was pretty simple.
I was afraid of side-effects, but the solution I applied works perfectly.
I added a timer, enabled it, and every tick it simply does:
me.Topmost = true

If I now click the taskbar, the program is obviously pushed to the back, but every 100ms when the timer ticks, the program is automatically put back on top without the app actually receiving focus.

MarineMax said today that it acquired the Bahia Mar Marina in Pensacola in the Florida panhandle.
The Bahia Mar is a full-service marina with a 50-ton Travelift, a working boatyard, large dry storage, and on-site facilities for fiberglass, paint, and bottom work, MarineMax said. It is on the Bayou Chico Channel.
The facility has covered and open wet slips and a ship's store.
Other amenities include laundry, showers, restrooms and a fuel dock offering non-ethanol gasoline, diesel and pumpout services. Bahia Mar Marina is also home to one of Pensacola's waterfront restaurants, The Oar House.
MarineMax said it has been a member of the Pensacola community for 13 years and will relocate its sales and service operations on Airport Boulevard to the new waterfront facility, where all of the operations will be combined.

Pixar are quite ruthless in their own way. It is not a new observation that the animation studio's success lies in making films that are ostensibly for children but which appeal hugely to adults. Their ruthlessness lies in the licence this gives them for brazen emotional manipulation, which they exploit brilliantly, and with a sophistication few film-makers can rival.
It seems inevitable, in hindsight, that they would eventually make a film in which emotions themselves are the protagonists – cut out the middle-men, as it were, and go straight to the source. That film is the Oscar-winning "Inside Out", as profound, moving and hilarious a work as they've created, which has been acclaimed by psychologists for offering genuine insight into the life of the mind. Its principal characters are five emotions – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust – responsible for running the life of an 11-year-old girl, Riley. The plot revolves around the challenge they face in helping her cope with a move to a new city.
At the Brighton Science Festival, I attended an illuminating talk by three experts from different fields who used the film as a springboard to discuss its themes: emotion, memory and cognition. The festival's founder, the science author and puppeteer Richard Robinson, introduced the evening by saying that the premise of "Inside Out" is correct: it is emotion that rules our minds, not vice-versa, and we select facts to suit those emotions.
The lively neuroscientist Dr Harry Witchel, who would make a splendid animated character himself, addressed the film's idea of indivisible, universal human feelings. Here, "Inside Out" draws on the work of the American psychologist Paul Ekman, who acted as a consultant on the film and whose hypothesis of universal core emotions (his list also includes surprise and contempt) served as a basis for the film's characters.
Witchel argues against Ekman's idea that emotions are fixed and absolute. Rather, he thinks they are plotted as points along a trio of axes: arousal (that is, activity), valence (positive to negative moods), and dominance and submission. This model allows you to locate and identify emotions without naming them; seen this way, emotions are, literally, three-dimensional.
Dr Peggy St. Jacques, a lecturer in psychology at Sussex University, explained how accurate the film's analogy of memory is. "Inside Out" shows us how some memories stick – particularly earworms like "Triple Deck gum!" – while others fade and are lost for ever. The film's vast, convoluted memory centre resembles the hippocampus, which was once thought to be the physical location of memory, but is now believed to be a visual menu to a network stretching throughout the brain. In the film, blobbish workers not entirely unlike the brain's protein molecules consign dimming memories to oblivion.
Memories themselves (represented in the film by orbs – pictured) change through retrieval, which can either reinforce memories or distort them. A crucial part of the film's story is the way memories formed by Joy become bittersweet when they are touched by Sadness, while those born of distress may later prove happy. Memory and imagination, says St Jacques, occur in the same areas of the brain, which helps explain why memory can be so malleable.
Dr Tiffany Watt Smith is a historian of emotion. Like Witchel, she does not regard the emotions represented by the film's characters as absolute. Her work has uncovered remarkable historical and cultural variation: sadness was once as prized as happiness is now (its importance is beautifully underlined in the film). And nostalgia was first identified in 17th-century Europe as a form of extreme homesickness which would claim fatalities as late as the first world war.
Do the characters of "Inside Out" act as a kind of primary-colour palette, from which other emotions can be mixed – or do we have many more emotions to begin with? If so, how many are there? Robinson put this to the audience. The only person to give a confident answer was a girl around Riley's age, who went with 20. Robinson concurred. I still have no idea. But Pixar's cast of five is so endearing, the viewer never feels the lack of more.

Sir Jay - Big Waves
They always say that Scandinavia is one of the happiest places in the world, boasting one of the highest levels of life satisfaction. This seems to show in the music that comes out of those countries as they produce some of the most uplifting and satisfying tracks in the Indie sphere. Finland's Sir Jay does just this in his latest EP 'Big Waves'.
The Helsinki based singer-songwriter dances between a low-key, heartfelt aesthetic and an anthemic rising sound. The first three tracks on the EP create the calming ambience you would expect from similar Scandinavian artists such as Swedish group Junip, mapping the nordic landscape with soft, warming guitar tones. They are blissful and carry a natural charm, perfect for those care-free days in the countryside.
However, on the third track 'Forest House' you begin to see glimpses of the other side of Sir Jay with more instrumental elements thrown into the mix a bigger, more grand atmosphere is created. This is then carried forward onto the title track 'Big Waves' which is certainly the highlight of the EP. The rolling electronic guitar creates a more energy driven feel and builds into a soaring chorus packed full of uplifting, natural power.
The EP showcases song curation of Sir Jay and whether you want scenic relaxation or empowering energy, 'Big Waves' takes you on a mountain road trip leaving you refreshed on the other side.

The increased prevalence of overweight children cannot be explained by changes in genetic factors, since the great increase has occurred over a short period of time, the causes must be sought in environmental exposures.
The aim of this thesis is to examine pre and perinatal factors influence on childhood growth in the two birth cohorts Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2000 (COPSAC2000) and COPSAC2010. We have focused on two exposures in this thesis.
Firstly, caesarean section (CS) which has had an increase in prevalence the last decades. Two recent meta-analyses have shown associations between delivery by CS and obesity in the off-spring in both child- and adulthood.
Secondly, we have focused on maternal dietary n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) during pregnancy, since it is an important determinant of adequate child development and health. In humans, both observational studies on dietary intake of fish as well as randomized trials of fish oil supplementation in pregnancy have shown longer gestation and higher birth weight in children born to women with a high n-3 LCPUFA intake. However, in humans randomized trials with n-3 LCPUFA supplementation in pregnancy and/or lactation have shown ambiguous results regarding anthropometric outcomes later in childhood.
In study I we examined the development of Body Mass Index (BMI) from birth through childhood in children with different delivery mode, to determine if CS were associated with differences in childhood growth and obesity. We collected height/length and weight measurements prospectively from term children until 5 years in COPSAC2010 and 13 years in COPSAC2000, furthermore dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were performed at age 3.5 years and 7 years.
We found that children delivered by CS had a higher mean BMI at 6 months compared to those delivered vaginally. However, there were no differences in BMI trajectory between the two groups ages 5 to 13 years, nor cross-sectional at these ages, nor in fat percentages from DXA scans.
In study II we analysed the effect of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation in pregnancy on intrauterine growth, gestational age and birth weight. The study was a double-blinded, RCT. The pregnant women received capsules containing either 2.4 g of n-3 LCPUFA or control daily from pregnancy week 24 until one week after birth.
We found that n-3 LCPUFA compared to control was associated with a longer duration of pregnancy, a higher birth weight and an increased intrauterine growth. We observed no effects on preterm delivery or other pregnancy complications.
In study III we examined the effect of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation in pregnancy on childhood anthropometrics outcomes. The study was nested in the above-mentioned intervention study. We used prospectively collected height/length and weight to examine the development of BMI from birth through 6 years of age. At 6 years we evaluated the cross sectional effect on height, weight, BMI, head and waist measurements. We used data from DXA scans at 3.5 years and 6 years.
We found that the n-3 LCPUFA group had a significantly higher mean z-score BMI from 1 week to 6 years of age compared to the controls, leading to a significantly higher z-score BMI at age 6 years and a larger waist circumference.
From DXA scans, we found a higher total lean soft tissue mass and a higher bone mineral content in the n-3 LCPUFA group. There were not a higher number of children in risk of obesity or with a higher fat percentage at 6 years of age in the n-3 LCPUFA group.
In conclusion: our findings have manifested that these exposures during pregnancy and birth are associated with a changed childhood growth.
We saw that children delivered by CS had a higher BMI at 6 months of age, but this did not track into later childhood.
N-3 LCPUFA supplementation from pregnancy week 24 was associated with prolonged gestation and increased intrauterine growth, leading to a higher birth weight. In addition, it led to an increase in BMI from age 1 year to 6 years. It did not lead to a higher number of obese children or a higher fat percentage at 6 years of age.
This thesis adds knowledge to the field regarding early life exposures and metabolic programming. We find associations between two exposures which have been changing during the last decades and childhood growth, both exposures are still modifiable.


British homeowners could receive grants to install environmentally friendly heating technology as part of a new Government scheme.
A Department of Energy and Climate Change plan called the renewable heat initiative will see homes fitted with meters to measure the amount of heating they have produced from sustainable fuel sources.
The 'green heating' scheme will offer cash incentives to households and businesses to use responsible heating as part of more than £4billion of government investment.
It is hoped the plans could halve the heating bills of householders and large firms as well as reducing the amount of carbon emissions from heating.
Greg Barker, the energy and climate change minister, said the grants offered to individual homeowners would be calculated on a case-by-case basis.
'Measuring how much heat you have saved is rather harder to measure on a domestic scale,' he told the Telegraph.
More meters will be introduced as sustainable heating technology – such as solar panels and heat pumps which can draw warmth from the ground or exterior air – becomes more widely available.
'People are becoming much more focused on the need to be more energy independent,' Mr Barker added.
It was reported earlier this week that the Government is considering offering homeowners stamp duty incentives to retrofit their homes as part of the Coalition's Green Deal energy platform.
Building Today magazine claimed that the forthcoming Budget will propose tax breaks for buildings fitted with environmentally friendly features like double glazing and insulation.


According to a recent news article from the Washington Post, the operator of a daycare facility has been arrested and charged in connection with what is believed to be a shaken baby injury to a nine-month-old child.
Witnesses say victim dropped her daughter off at the daycare center before going to work. Later that afternoon, daycare owner called 911. When first responders arrived, daycare owner allegedly told EMTs she gave the baby her bottle and placed her in a swing. She said the baby started to cry, but quickly stopped, so she assumed infant had fallen asleep. She went to answer a knock at the front door, and when she returned a few minutes later, the child wasn't breathing. At this point, she told EMTs she performed CPR on the baby and got her to breathe again.
EMTs took the baby to Children's National Medical Center, where doctors tell a different story. Court records show doctors saying infant had bleeding above two halves of her brain and the pattern of injuries suggest child was not breathing for an extended period of time. Hospital records indicate the baby was in the moderate to severe end of the spectrum used to quantify the severity of shaken baby syndrome.
The full extent of the baby's daycare injury is not known at this time, but the article notes doctors are concerned about long-term vision problems and issues preventing her from fully closing her fists. Loss of muscle tone can indicate a serious problem.
As our Boston daycare injury attorneys understand, there is nothing scarier than getting a call from your child's daycare facility in the middle of the day. Sometimes it is just to inform of an issue that is not necessarily all that serious. Perhaps your child is running a low-grade fever, or there was a fight between two children, and the daycare center just wanted to you to know about it before you arrived after work.
However, the reason for the fear when you see the daycare center's number on your caller ID is because you know that something serious can happen. Many times even serious accidents are not always someone's fault. Serious accident can happen without any negligence involved. Most daycare providers and employees truly care about children and enjoy their jobs. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and people who have no business caring for children are allowed to work at a daycare center.
If your child was injured at his or her daycare center and you have any reason to suspect negligence or an intentional act on behalf of the staff, you should contact an experienced daycare injury attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you act, the sooner an investigation can be started. This will generally increase the likelihood of obtaining and full and appropriate financial settlement or jury verdict should the case go to trial.
You should also make sure your child received prompt medical attention. Injuries to children are not always fully apparent to parents, especially in children who are not old enough to tell you where they are feeling pain or discomfort.

Home Frank Vogel Frank Vogel Says Lakers Are 'Always Monitoring' LeBron James' Workload
Frank Vogel Says Lakers Are 'Always Monitoring' LeBron James' Workload

Lakers News: Carmelo Anthony Says NBA's Foul Rule Change Hasn't Affected Him
While it may seem like Father Time is catching up to LeBron James, the truth of the matter is the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is still one of the best players in the NBA when he is on the court.
Availability has been an issue for James, who has dealt with a couple of ailments, plus missed additional time due to a suspension and being placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols. The recent mishap with his false positive was a frustrating situation for James, who was eventually cleared to return, but at least the forward will be available going forward.
With the Lakers struggling to string together wins throughout the 2021-22 season, head coach Frank Vogel might have no choice but to ride James more than he would like to during the season. However, James' workload is always an area of concern and Vogel admitted that he and the rest of the staff are keeping an eye on it.
"We're always monitoring his load and just being intelligent with it," Vogel said. "Obviously, the overtime games are what they are. He's going to be in there for those. Like you said, he has missed some time. The totality is less of a concern than if you played a triple-overtime game and you played the next night. You exercise caution in those instances. It's just something that literally we monitor on a daily basis. We rely on the medical team and feedback from how he's feeling and make smart decisions."
James is set to turn 37 years old at the end of the month and with how many games and minutes he has played in recent years, it makes sense why Los Angeles wants to be as mindful as possible about his workload. However, they might not have that luxury given they have been hovering around .500 and are about to hit a tough stretch in their schedule.
Even though the Lakers have two other superstars in Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, they will only go as far as James can take them. Hopefully the injuries and other situations are behind James and he can focus on finding his playing rhythm.
James admits being out of lineup has affected rhythm
James has been unable to consistently stay on the floor this season and that has prevented him from really getting into a groove so far. James even admitted that the start-and-stop nature has disrupted his game rhythm and called it a challenging season so far.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about her relationship with Drake.
The pair met last year and Millie, who revealed she had a 'fan girl moment', said their friendship has blossomed since.
The actress, who plays character Eleven on the hit Netflix show, was talking to ExtraTV with Mark Wright and spoke about her relationship with the 'Passionfruit' singer.
He's just a great person. We met in Australia, and he asked me to go to his show, and it was probably the best live performance I've ever seen.
You think he's like Drake like, 'I know when that Hotline Bling', but he's just Drake and he's great. I have great people around me guiding me through this and he's one of them.
The 13-year-old also shared some words of wisdom, when responding to a question about the viral video of her having her head shaved in preparation to play Eleven before the show's first season – something she called empowering.
When I shaved my head, there was a lot of bullying going on toward me… It was a hard time for me, but when the show came out, everybody was like, 'Shaved head is cool!' — but [they] didn't think that when it wasn't out.
It felt so right to me that I had to do it for the young girls to make them feel okay to be different, and be weird.
Millie, along with the rest of the show's cast, is due to head back to Atlanta to start filming Stranger Things season three, which she thinks will be the 'best season yet'.
In her romantic life, Millie is believed to be in a relationship with US singer Jacob Sartorius.
Rumours began flying around not so long ago after they both started liking each other's social media photos.
He has more than 2.8 million subscribers on YouTube alone and is probably creating the type of music Justin Bieber would have put out a few years ago.
Brown 'confirmed' the romance in her Instagram story with a picture of the two of them accompanied by love hearts.
She also posted two photos of her hugging a giant teddy bear, which was apparently a gift from Sartorius.


Two Obama volunteers — Peggy Kerry, the sister of Sen. John Kerry, and Steven Nicks, a member of Obama's LGBT Policy Committee — get ready for action as the sun rises in the West Village.
Ray Dominguez represents the change we've been hearing so much about this campaign season.
So Dominguez got up at 4:30 this morning, after a night of Giants celebrations, to volunteer in a day-long effort to win votes. Along with several other volunteers, he's working from the Sheridan Square Starbucks — just one of 19 Obama hubs in Manhattan, 14 in Brooklyn, seven in the Bronx, five in Queens and one in Staten Island.
At 6 a.m., Dominguez and two fellow organizers fought the morning darkness and the sleepy Sinatra tunes with talk of their hopes for the day, with a side of today's Komodo Dragon Blend.
One of the first volunteers to arrive was Nancy Talbot, who, along with her husband, was a long-time supporter of the Clintons after her husband attended Oxford with Bill Clinton in the late '60s and was in Hilary's class at Yale Law in the early '70s. But a few years ago, when the Talbots were living in Chicago, a friend turned them on to a rising state senator.
Talbot headed out into the cold, equipped with a new cardboard sign — she gave her last one to a passing bus driver who wanted to show his support for Obama as he drove around the city.
Little by little, more volunteers filtered in, including Senator John Kerry's sister, Peggy Kerry, who organized a Women for Obama rally in New York last weekend.
Kerry popped in and out, conversing with volunteer Steven Nicks about how best to run the day's operations. Stickers should go out early to promote visibility, they agreed. The basic facts flyers can go to people on the subways, but the more persuasive flyers should go to people at the polls who already think they've made up their minds. And by all means, assign people to the high-priority spots first, like P.S. 3, P.S. 41 and the Westbeth artist community.
Nicks is the man leading the morning's volunteers, taking cell phone numbers and walking them through the rules — don't go closer than 100 feet from a polling place, and be courteous if an old lady snaps that she's for McCain.
After all, Nicks knows to pick his battles. As a member of Obama's 20-person LGBT Policy Committee, he has met and spoken with Obama several times in his fight to encourage political dialogue about LGBT issues.
Perhaps that's why, when John Edwards left the race, many of the campaign's LGBT leadership team joined the fight for Obama.
And while advocates like Nicks would prefer a candidate who supported their rights all the way, Obama's stance is a step in the right direction, Nicks said.

This Is A Dangerous Moment For All Of Europe, For The Freedom Around The World Said, President Biden
March 8, 2022 11:39 pm Views: 13
Today, President Biden said in his remarks at a press briefing, "This is a dangerous moment for all of Europe, for the freedom around the world. Putin has a — has committed an assault on the very principles that uphold global peace."
He said President Putin's quest to build an empire is one of self-delusion.
"But now the entire world sees clearly what Putin and his Kremlin — and his Kremlin allies are really all about. This was never about genuine security concerns on their part. It was always about naked aggression, about Putin's desire for empire by any means necessary — by bullying Russia's neighbors through coercion and corruption, by changing borders by force, and, ultimately, by choosing a war without a cause."
He said Putin's move from the outset was sinister and exposed to the world.
"Putin's actions betray his sinister vision for the future of our world — one where nations take what they want by force.
But it is a vision that the United States and freedom-loving nations everywhere will oppose with every tool of our considerable power," said the U.S. President.
He noted that the United States and its Allies and partners "will emerge from this stronger, more united, more determined, and more purposeful."
"Putin's aggression against Ukraine will end up costing Russia dearly — economically and strategically. Putin will be a pariah on the international stage. We will make sure of that. Any nation that countenances Russia's naked aggression against Ukraine will be stained by association," he said.
He added that "When the history of this era is written, Putin's choice to make a totally unjustifiable war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger."
"Liberty, democracy, human dignity — these are the forces far more powerful than fear and oppression. They cannot be extinguished by tyrants like Putin and his armies. They cannot be erased by people — from people's hearts and hopes by any amount of violence and intimidation. They endure," he added.
He posited that freedom would ultimately prevail regardless of the barriers.
"And in the contest between democracy and autocracy, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake: Freedom will prevail," said the President.

Wizz Air sole bidder for West-Balkan routes
LaMography
Hungary's low cost airline Wizz Air was the only airline to submit a bid for five West-Balkan routes from Budapest, according to a report published in economic newspaper Világgazdaság today.
The National Development Ministry told the paper that the four-year contract could be signed as early as summer and preparations would begin thereafter.
This would give the airline a monopoly on routes between Budapest and Albania, Bosznia-Hercegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. In the event that the airline incurs a loss, it could seek compensation from the government, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.
Since Hungary's national carrier Malév was grounded in 2012, a number of direct flights from Budapest have ceased to exist. This void could be filled by the new cluster of Wizz Air routes, according to MTI.
Wizz Air to launch Budapest-Chișinău flights in March


One of the first humanists, the Italian Francesco Petrarch (PEE-trahrk), lived from 1304 to 1374. Like many of the humanists, Petrarch became famous as a scholar and as a teacher. He also wrote poetry, and his sonnets to Laura, an imaginary ideal woman, are considered some of the greatest love poems in literature.
Petrarch's main influence, however, grew out of his desire for continuity with classical writers, whom he believed were committed to virtue in both public and private life. Petrarch thought these individuals could best be imitated if one studied their writings. The study of the writings of the ancient Greeks and Romans came to be called classical education. A command of classical languages, as they had been used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, became the mark of an educated person.
The humanists remained deeply committed to Christian teachings. For that reason, they sometimes felt a tension between their commitment to the study of the ancients and their commitment to Christianity. Petrarch, for instance, agonized over his lust for fame (a common Roman ambition) because he feared it would hurt his chances for salvation. Like most Italian humanists, Petrarch thought it important to lead a full and active life here on earth, even if that meant devoting less time to spiritual concerns.
Niccolo Machiavelli (mahk-yah-VEL-lee) of Florence, a diplomat and historian who lived from 1469 to 1527, ranks as one of the most illustrious of the many Renaissance writers. In 1513 he wrote a famous essay, The Prince, which described government not in terms of lofty ideals but as Machiavelli felt government actually worked.
Machiavelli can be considered a humanist because he looked to the ancient Romans for models and because such matters as the workings of politics interested him. However, the lack of concern for morality that he wrote about in The Prince set him apart from other humanists, who considered virtue their main aim.
Baldassare Castiglione (kahs-teel-YOH-nay) was an Italian diplomat and writer who lived from 1478 to 1529. In 1528 he published what was probably the most famous book of the Renaissance, The Book of the Courtier. Castiglione's work is a book on courtesy as well as an explanation of the role of the refined courtier as opposed to that of the coarse knight of the Middle Ages. As nobles lost their military role, Castiglione gave them a new idea of refined behavior. The setting for the book is the court at Urbino, an Italian city-state where the author lived many happy years. Castiglione's characters are real people who reflect in fictional conversations on how gentlemen and gentlewomen ought to act in polite society.

Soaring Eagle Zipline Opens at North Conway's Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park
Posted By: leverton Carroll, New Hampshire, USA
NORTH CONWAY, NH ??Ÿ?¦Ÿ?? Cranmore Mountain opened its newest attraction last week, the Soaring Eagle Zipline. The new Zipline is one of the featured attractions at Cranmore's Mountain Adventure Park in the popular resort town of North Conway, NH.
??Ÿ?¦?We are excited to see the continued investment in the resort,??Ÿ?¦? stated Cranmore GM and President, Ben Wilcox. ??Ÿ?¦?We found the perfect thrill ride to add to the mix here and best of all, it??Ÿ?¦Ÿ??s family-friendly.??Ÿ?¦?
The Soaring Eagle Zip Line is located at the base of the mountain next to the Summer Tubing Park and Giant Swing. A zip line carrying two riders each zips 700 feet up the slope, and then zips back at approximately 35 miles per hour. Unlike a typical canopy type zip line tour, riders are secured into a "chair" that gives them freedom of movement for the arms and legs. The zipline loads at the bottom of the mountain just a few steps off the ground.
Guests can enjoy unlimited rides on the Zip Line along with other rides as part of Cranmore??Ÿ?¦Ÿ??s Value Pass which costs just $39 for those 48″ and taller or $29 for those 48″ and under for a full day of activities. Group discounts are also available for parties of 15 or more.
Also new at the resort are Mountain Segway Tours which traverse the surrounding streets and mountain slopes on these revolutionary transporters. The technology inside a Segway consists of an intelligent network of sensors, mechanical assemblies, and control systems that balance and move along on two wheels. The second a passenger steps on the Segway, five micro-machined gyroscopes and two accelerometers sense the changing terrain and body position at 100 times per second.
Each 60 minute session includes training and a tour including on-road and off-road routes. The tour guide will provide interesting insights all along the route for a fun and informative ride around the mountain and neighborhood. Cranmore??Ÿ?¦Ÿ??s Segway Tours feature the x2 model, tuned for cross-terrain. The tours cost $45 per person and are for ages 16+ only.
Cranmore will be hosting a Ribbon Cutting for the new Zipline on Tues., July 17, 2012 at 1pm, in partnership with the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce. The public is invited to be part of this celebration of the new zipline.
Schedule and Hours of Operation
The park is open daily through Labor Day, Sept. 3 from 10am – 6pm; then weekends only through Columbus Day Oct. 8th 10am ??Ÿ?¦Ÿ?? 5pm.
Cranmore Mountain, located in the heart of North Conway Village in the White Mountains of New Hampshire only 2.5 hours from the Boston area, has been entertaining families with fun and festive activities for 75 years. For more information on Cranmore Mountain and the latest news of special events, visit www.cranmore.com or call 1-800-SUN-N-SKI.

KINGSTON – Beautification of the Midtown and Uptown areas of Kingston is set to begin with the aid of students as part of the city's 2018 participatory budgeting process.
Residents of both areas of the city said they wanted to spend their allotted $15,000 on that project, which Mayor Steven Noble said will be a "marriage" between the effort and youth involvement in it.
Noble has increased his business district participatory budgeting funds to $20,000 each area of the city – Uptown, Midtown and Downtown – in this year's budget.


Les chutes de la Broye is another stunning hidden waterfalls in Switzerland. But can we really find this exotic looking waterfall in Switzerland? Because for a while I had a feeling of being somewhere else faraway….
Lately David and I have been so tired because of a overscheduled month. Instead of going hiking on the Swiss mountains we try to rather make an easy walk. I have always love waterfalls and ever since we have discovered hidden waterfalls in Switzerland one after another I am now eager to discover some more!
Les chutes de la Broye, also known as Les chutes de Chavannettes in canton of Freiburg, is only 25km away from Vevey and 80km from Bern.
For the GPS, just put Chemin des Chutes in Rue. You can park by the end of the road and then walk down on the forest path behind the bench.
It is only 5mins walk down to the waterfalls!
At the first glance I was quite disappointed because there were not much water as I was hoping for. Usually when it has been raining or in the spring the stone wall is covered with water.
But after we had our lunch Mirabelle and I went on an expedition. Ok, there was not much water pouring down but at least Mirabelle was able to run around because a lady told us that when there are much water, you will not be able to explore like we did.
Kids are having fun! What a great childhood to be able to run freely in the nature. There were so much for the kids to do around.
All this water will end up in the lake Neuchâtel.
And no the water was not cold..just at first! Even David jumped it!
Just don't stay still for to long unless you want to have a free fish spa!
What do you guys think? Not bad right?
Do you like to discover more hidden waterfalls around the same area?

Hello, beautiful pictures from my country 😉 juste a precision : les chutes de la Broye aren't in Canton de Vaud but in Canton de Fribourg … I love this place, It's quiet magical.
Ohh thank you Anne! I have changed it into canton of Freiburg! Enjoy beautiful Switzerland!

Sweet Little Sixteen / She's got the grown up blues / Tight dress and lipstick / She's sportin' high heal shoes / Oh, but tomorrow morning / She'll have to change her trend / And be sweet sixteen / And back in class again. – Chuck Berry, Sweet Little Sixteen, 1958.
It seems that almost everybody is using their confinement to catch up on all kinds of television — mostly streaming or DVRed (that's a verb now, right?). So, lapsing back into my traditional role as August Contrarian, I've decided to do a little catch-up on my book reading. Right now I'm about two-thirds of the way through Meyer Levin's The Old Bunch, written in 1937. That's only 35 years longer than I've had it on my shelf. As Brian Wilson and Mike Love said, I get around. Eventually.
But mopery is a force of my nature, so I have been watching a bit of teevee. Besides, I've never gotten a paper cut from watching television. I've been watching Stargirl, the latest presentation from Warner Bros.' DC Comics think tank. The former goes up on both the DCUniverse streamer and The CW this coming week. Pop Culture Squad HBIC Adriane Nash (that's what it says on her business card) and I had the privilege of watching the first three episodes of Stargirl, and my comments that follow come from the totality of this experience. Spoiler Alert: There really aren't any spoilers here. Sorry.
Let it be said that I am a Justice Society fan — certainly the original creation, as well as most of its subsequent reincarnations. The JSA was the thing to collect when I was Li'l Fanboy, along with EC Comics, Carl Barks and The Spirit, and I remain a big fan of all four. Indeed, I now get nostalgic for nostalgia.
Stargirl is based upon the 1999 title Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.S. by Geoff Johns, Lee Moder and Dan Davis, with James Robinson riding shotgun on the first issue, which was #0. Yes, the comics racket remains mathematically challenged. The series lasted 15 issues, ending with #14 (reread the previous two sentences), and it was a conflation of the original Star-Spangled Kid, Starman(s), and various versions of the JSA as well as the JSA's lame doppelgänger, The Seven Soldiers of Victory. A cute teenager discovers Starman's cosmic belt as she discovers her step-father was the Star-Spangled Kid's sidekick, Stripesy. Like all smart, precocious comic book teen-age characters, she wants to become a costumed superhero. Stripesy, being her dad, is not keen on the idea but seeing as how he's got a huge Transformers-wannabe robot suit gathering dust in the garage, he supervises his stepdaughter while on the fly.
I loved the series. I was annoyed it got shitcanned after 15 issues… the last being #14, remember? I'm a jaded old fart — that goes hand-in-hand with being an August Contrarian — and I think Geoff did a wonderful job bringing teen-age angst into the story in a fashion that makes the reader root for the kid while still sympathizing with the concerns of her parents.
So I was quite pleased that the greater Warner Bros. empire chose Stargirl as the newest wing in the DCU mansion, but I was a hell of a lot more pleased that Geoff Johns created the teevee series, is writing it, and is an executive producer. That's pretty damn rare; off-hand, I can't recall that happening since The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, a show so ancient that some readers might need to IMBD it. Television scripts always go through a lot of hands and by the time it's being filmed it's got more notes than Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3. Remarkably and to its credit, the shows I saw still maintain the feeling of Johns' work, as well as his story.
I'm not letting any cats out of my collection of trick bags when I say that JSA fans of all… stripes… likely will enjoy the hell out of the third episode. It pleased my Li'l Fanboy heart to no end.
Like all DCU-CW series (and now, post-Crisis, much of the rest of their sundry media universes), Stargirl is fraught with continuity possibilities. I'm not saying she'll show up in the next big-ass crossover, and I doubt the Powers That Be will let Stargirl get too close to John Constantine. That's reasonable, but if Geoff wants to consider that a challenge, hey, who am I to pour cold water on a jail bait story?
I do have one question. If you've read any new Superman family stories over the past few years, you've seen the legend "Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. By special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel family." The creator credit also appears on the Supergirl CW show as well as other media derived from The Man of Steel. This was part of the end result of about 70 years of legal wrangling, and all accurate creator credits are well-deserved. Jerry Siegel also created the Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy. Shouldn't there be a creator credit for Jerry as well?
Yeah, I know. But I'll ask again when Steve Amell returns as The Spectre.

Beautiful green spaces for hospitality are on the rise, which was key for an impressive Tamarama entertainment deck built on a cliff facing the Pacific Ocean. The owners are culinary event management stalwarts, so the need to provide commercial quality and volumes of fresh produce when entertaining guests for formal soirees was paramount for this project. Also, mobile versatility for the garden was required in lieu of the deck being flexible for various types of event spaces. Hence 6 Glowpear Café Planters were specified, which consisted of banks of native edibles, staple herbs, exotic South East Asian greens, and hedging plants such as rosemary to protect the other produce from harsh sea breezes.

A classic Ashkenazi Jewish recipe, adapted with delicious hazelnuts and plenty of cinnamon. This is the centrepiece you need for any great party!
1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Combine the yeast with 3 Tbsp flour and 2 Tbsp water in the bowl of an electric mixer and set aside for 10 minutes until foamy. Add the remaining flour, 100g caster sugar, lemon zest, eggs and milk and mix with the dough hook on low speed until almost combined.
2 Add 210g butter 1 Tbsp at a time, then beat on low speed for 5 minutes, add the salt, then mix for another 10 minutes, until a very smooth dough forms. Place in an oiled bowl and refrigerate overnight to proof slowly.
3 Melt the remaining butter and mix in the icing sugar, cocoa and chocolate, then set aside to cool slightly.
4 Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each to a rectangle 60cm x 30cm using just a little flour. Spread the chocolate paste over the dough, leaving a 2cm margin. Sprinkle the pecans and cinnamon sugar on top, then roll up, starting at the long edges. Slice in half lengthways, then twist each pair into a rough braid with the chocolate facing upwards. Arrange the braids in lined 1L loaf pans, cover and set aide for 3 hours, until doubled in size.
5 Mix the remaining sugar with ¾ cup water and the cinnamon sticks and boil until syrupy, then set aside. Bake the loafs for 35-40 minutes, using a little steam at the start. When baked, brush with the syrup while still hot, then set aside to cool in the tins.


I must say they provide the best placement in UPTU and is one of the colleges in India that are good in placement.

Here college will not support you to get an internship. You have to do it by your own efforts. No alumini network is here. Here average package is INR 3 to 3.5 LPA.
Companies like Infosys, HCL, Wipro, juspay come here for placement. This year average package was 3.5 lakhs P.A. As per my knowledge Alumni of this college has not done any significant works. 4 year before one boy of CS branch got placement of 8 lakhs P.A.
Many reputed companies visit our campus for the placements.
The college has a good relationship with corporates though the placements are not up-to the mark considering the fee charged, though the college achieves 100% placement the annual package is between 3-3.5 lakh on an average at Galgotias Institute of Engineering and Technology.
Still i have done only one internship through Galgotias College.
IT and manufacturing ,finance ,and marketing etc companies come to our college to recruit.
