So just before Christmas last year I was asked if I would be interested in trying Jouvé. I'd never heard of this brand before and as I'm a confessed skin care addict, of course I said yes.
The Instant Tightening & Restoring Serum works in about 90 secs and the results are clearly visible. It is an instant result but it doesn't stop there. Continued use will result in much better longer lasting results.
This serum will give you really instant results as naturally occurring minerals render a tightening effect which visibly lifts the skin. It really does happen immediately on application. You can see the results after just a minute or two.
The depth of wrinkles and also pore size, are actually also decreased too. Using the serum under the eye, any puffiness will literally disappear within seconds. This gives your eyes a much more youthful, rejuvenate appearance.
The photo on the left is before using Jouvé and the photo on the right is after. You can clearly see that my overall complexion is smoother and the deeper wrinkle between my eyebrow is barely visible. The one thing I will say, is don't apply too much. For one you really don't need it. Secondly, applying to much can cause a white powdery residue to form when it dries.
The Dark Spot Corrector & Brightening Cream helps to reduce pigmentation and also hydrates & smoothes the skin. In addition it will also help with your fine lines too.
The pure botanicals in this formula help to make the skin look fresh and bright again by reducing dark spots caused by sun damage. We all get them as we get older, as over the years our skin is damaged by the sun. It's one of the many reasons to always wear sunscreen, even on the dullest of days.
Dry, rough areas of skin are improved by the natural essences within the cream. They help to moisturise and also protect from environmental damage to your skin. The cream absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any residue behind. Just a soft, smooth finish.
I didn't really notice too much in the reduction of pigmentation but then I don't have that much anyway. Although you can see some of it is lighter under my eye.
You can also see that the area around the eye is firmer and much smoother on the after photo on the right. My pores also look less visible too.
To answer if the Jouvé Skin System really works? I'd say yes, it most definitely does.
I actually think the more pronounced your 'wrinkles', the more dramatic results you will notice. I'm 46 and apart from the one deep wrinkle between my eyebrows from frowning a lot, I don't have too many wrinkles. At least, I don't think I do for someone my age. I don't smoke and I don't go out in the sun. I also make sure to keep my skin hydrated by drinking a lot of water. I think the benefits do show in my skin.
Where Can I Find Out More about Jouvé Skin System?


The debate about the reserves took a fresh twist today when Wigan Warriors admitted they are considering withdrawing a second-string side.
Earlier this week, Wigantoday reported the Warriors were one of only three Super League clubs - with Wakefield and Hull - who will be taking part in a reserves on a friendly basis in 2019.
But with the other teams from Championship or League One clubs, Wigan are reviewing whether to press ahead with a reserves in 2019 or not.
Executive director Kris Radlinski believes it is "crazy" that reserves is not mandatory.
But with so many other top-flight clubs unwilling to participate, he is concerned players would not get the standard of competition they need as it stands.
And he said: "If I'm honest we will probably review our situation over the coming days off the back of it.
"It is 100 per cent the right pathway, but the competition is not what we wanted and not what we bought into.
"What we want is a competition which provides players with the next step down from Super League.
"Playing a Championship club's reserve team, with all due respect, is not the next step down. So we have to look at it.
He hopes a competitive reserve league - with St Helens and Warrington, two clubs who have previously backed the system - could be in place for 2020, but admits it has yet to be discussed at Super League board level.
Players too old for the U19s will be left to gain experience by playing on loan or dual-registration elsewhere.
Until a few years ago, clubs operated a three-tier system with an Under-21s (or reserves) and a U18s. This was scrapped in favour of a single academy team, U19s - with no provision for older players - in a move many regarded to be a cost-cutting exercise. Some clubs later set-up reserve teams and played each other on a friendly basis.
Radlinski's admission came hours after St Helens clarified their stance, saying they firmly believe in the concept but could not commit to it in its current state.
Chief executive Mike Rush wants the second-tier to be made compulsory for Super League clubs.
He said: "The club are 100 percent committed to running a reserve team and did so for two seasons with only Warrington and Wigan also showing their commitment.
"Following this experience and lack of game time for the players, the club is awaiting the governing body to make the competition mandatory for all Super League clubs.
"We strongly believe that a three tier system, with under-18s and reserves, is vital to the production of the game's next generation of elite players for our club and international competitions.
"In 2017, the club played 14 games at this level while the next nearest club played seven and as a result we stated that a greater commitment from the centre was needed to make this a genuine competition.
"With regards to 2019, once again the competition is based on friendly matches with no formal competition and we was felt that the lack of certainty around such fixtures made it impossible to commit to.

Alexis does not have emotional bond in Manchester - Reinaldo Rueda
Chile National team manager Reinaldo Rueda has backed Alexis Sanchez's form in the recently concluded Premier League season.
The former Chelsea manager believes the former Arsenal man lacks emotional bond in Manchester and his injury crisis has also hindered him from given Manchester United his best.
'It's not easy to explain, but Alexis has come here and shown a lot of commitment and perhaps in Manchester he does not have the emotional bond he has with his team-mate here, that affection,' Rueda said.
'He's had bad fortune because Manchester United have had problems for a while, so he does not have the structure he has here.'
'He has also had injuries, he's lacked consistency, he has lacked continuity.'
'We have done brilliantwork with him, we have given him a lot of warmth, which is what he needs.'
'He has a special connection with the team and the group is very fond of him.'
Alexis Sanchez has been brilliant so far for his country in the Copa America.
The Manchester United man has two goals in two matches and they will continue to count on him to perform as they look to qualify to the next round of the competition.

Studying Colonel Joseph Laughlin
A granddaughter's search for answers on her hero and why she was not the only one to call him one
The Omeka Website for Colonel Joseph L. Lyle
On September 5, 2017 September 5, 2017 By jamhawk4In Archive, Project, Uncategorized1 Comment
It has been well over a year since I have posted anything about my grandfather. It will be one year in November since I did any work on him. The only reason I can give is that I have been trying to get my own life in order. While the jury is still out on how that is coming along, it has made me try to put myself in my grandfather's shoes. The times that we each lived in were so different, and despite the technological advances I get to live with today, I envy his time and his path in life. I don't envy the war he witnessed, the war he fought, and the men he had to watch die. I envy that when he made his choice, of what he wanted to do and be, he did it. He wanted adventure. He wanted to try something new, something the people of Nebraska would never think of doing. And through that choice he lived an extraordinary life. The kind of life I grew up hearing about, in awe of the places he had visited and lived and the people he met. It was the sort of adventure I always wanted in life. But, as I said, the times in which we live/d are very different. For as many adventures as he had, I always seem to be stuck behind a computer, trying to figure out where to go next, and trying to find where I belong. I turn 30 next March, and as much as my parents tell me not to, I can't help but compare my life to where my grandfathers' was at 30.
I have taken information on my grandfather, including personal items from before, during, and after the war, within the last year, but I have been too busy with what I have explained above to get around to posting it. If I don't get to it before the end of the year, it will be my New Years' Resolution for 2018. I hope to see you before then.
Remembering Sacrifices
On June 1, 2016 By jamhawk4In Uncategorized8 Comments
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who gave their lives in military service. I've never had the inclination to grill out, throw a pool party, or go to the lake, as it seems those are the most popular explanations of "what we did for Memorial Day". To be honest, growing up, my Memorial Day's were usually spent at some soccer complex for some "Memorial Day Cup" with my teammates and parents, as were most weekends that people were doing fun things. I don't regret that, but it has an impact on what I do with this day in my future.
After completing my graduate project, I have a newfound respect for those men who never made it home to see their families in war. For the 362nd Fighter Group, I saw the names and faces of these boys-turned-men as I searched through books, papers, photographs, and webpages, and I was saddened by how many did not make it home.
I was especially saddened when I saw how many men my grandfather knew and flew with personally that didn't make it back. To know how close he was with them and how much they meant to him, I can get some inclination of how he felt to lose them.
So for this Memorial Day, in honor of the men of the 362nd who gave their lives, I want to list them here. This list is from the first couple of pages of "Mogins Maulers – the 362nd Fighter Group's History of WWII." The authors (a few of the men themselves and their families) make sure to note that this may not be a comprehensive list, that some may have been forgotten or lost. For now, these men are listed in their squadrons, in the order their lives were lost.

ZELAH release new single 'Save Me'
Posted by Adam Falkingham | Apr 23, 2019 | MUSIC REVIEWS
There has been a rise in alt-pop over the last few years and ZELAH are one of London's finest emerging bands. Their latest single 'Save Me' is an atmospheric track that will instantly pull you in.
The band take influence from the likes of Lorde and London Grammar to create a trademark sound and the result is highly impressive. 'Save Me' is a commercial track that has a dark side. The ambient sounds are sublime and the powerful, soulful lead vocals of Zelah Van-Gowler are simply breathtaking.
The instrumentation is just as impressive as the vocals. Warm, empowering synths, distinctive guitars and dramatic drums come together perfectly as the chorus kicks in. With plenty of reverb used across the mix, 'Save Me' is well and truly a song to get lost in.
The band express their thoughts on the release below:
"I think we all go through phases of vulnerability and missing what we once had even years after it has ended with someone. As time goes on you mature naturally and see from a clearer perspective, you have a better idea of your own mistakes and insecurities that lead to the breakup, and how silly things become insignificant or how you would do things differently. Basically you realise someone was and could be such a good fit for you but you just happened to meet them at the wrong time. Not always, but sometimes."
ZELAH are a band with a growing fanbase and it's easy to see why. Van-Gowler has recently worked with Matrix & Futurebound, singing on their single 'Got You There'. They have more music planned for release later this year, but in the meantime listen to 'Save Me' below. Be sure to keep up to date with ZELAH online here.

For every Catholic who aspires to intellectual or creative excellence: a timeless "treasury of wisdom" about pursuing the life of the mind drawn not only from St Thomas Aquinas, but a score of other geniuses too.
Grounding his work on St. Thomas's Sixteen Principles for Acquiring the Treasure of Knowledge, and citing the precepts and practice of the most creative minds in history, Fr. A.D. Sertillanges, OP, shows that the intellectual must adopt a rule of life, analagous to that of the religious life, which will put him entirely at the disposal of his work. First published in 1920, this authentic masterpiece had an immense circulation in France and went through repeated reprints.
-"It might well be subtitled How to Organize Your Life."
- Explained: "Great men seem to us men of great boldness; in reality they are more obedient than others.
- Why purity of thought requires purity of soul while passions and vices are "formidable enemies of the mind"
- Explained: "Every study is a study of eternity"
- Avoiding the false solitude that indulges "interior babble, the solicitation of desire" and other distractions.
- The difference between solitude and isolation.

A Night at the Southbank: Thoughts on Cosmic Ashoke
The funny thing is, you have no idea how long it took us to come up with a name. It was a Monday or a Thursday evening at the Impact Hub and we were huddled at a table, scribbling out random words on post-its as we wondered just what we should call this… happening we were organising. Cosmic Ashoke wasn't even our first choice but for some reason when it came down to it, that was the one that went forward. By the end of Thursday night, as the lights were turned back on and the mmanwu packed away, it seemed like there could never have been any other name to call it.
6th October saw the first collaboration between Artivist UK and AfroFutures_UK to produce an event in honour of national poetry day at the Southbank Centre, a day which also included poetry readings accompanied by live drawing with the wonderful Chris Ridell.
An awesome evening ahead @southbankcentre #CosmicAshoke #nationalpoetryday pic.twitter.com/mBjjVgEZAm
— Adam Sibbald (@adamsibbs) October 6, 2016
When we'd first spoken of our ideas for Cosmic Ashoke, chief among them was somehow giving the audience a sense of timelessness. For the hour and a half, we wanted people to feel as though they were outside of normality, a place where all our narratives and histories and experiences could combine. Even the name 'Cosmic Ashoke' was meant to express this. The ashoke is a garment worn by various peoples in Nigeria (and the pronunciation differs slightly from people to people) that is a tightly woven, dense piece of fabric, often bestrewn with beautiful patterns or sparkling threads. We were inspire by the idea of creating a cross-cultural, pan-black event where all of our experiences could be combined and exchanged to create something far more beautiful than the sum of its parts.
From Jolade's reflections living in Lagos and London to the sultry notes from Birmingham's own Affiejam; from Juice Aleem's futuristic beats to Travis Alabanza's intersectional mash-ups on protest, pain and black love; from the living Storybook that was Nikky Norton Shafau to Caleb Femi's ruminations on change and challenges on the streets of London. Surrounded by neo-mmanwu, each representing an epoch in black past, present and future with an original piece reminding us of humanity's journey courtesy of animation by Al Conteh, Cosmic Ashoke was truly an interdimensional experience and one which we hope will return and continue to evolve, including ever more voices.
Special mention must go to Wanda and her team from KOBRA TV who filmed the evening having travelled all the way from Sweden to include Cosmic Ashoke as part of their Afrofuturist season. Watch this space for more details about its broadcast date!
Thanks must go to all the amazing performers, our guests for making the evening such a thrilling one and to Southbank for inviting and funding us to produce such a wonderful event.

A: I'm not sure whether I get your question right, but shouldn't the following work?
  SELECT user_id, count(*)
    FROM mytable1
GROUP BY user_id
  HAVING count(*) > 1

-> Result all user_id, with more then one entry
or if you wanna count how many entries are not unique..
SELECT COUNT(*) AS AreDublicate
  FROM (
      SELECT user_id
        FROM mytable1
    GROUP BY user_id
      HAVING count(*) > 1
       ) myTable

-> Result how many aren't unique.. (in your case 2)

A: To arrive at a single number you need an inner and outer query, like so:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
     SELECT user_id
     FROM mytable1
     GROUP BY user_id
     HAVING count(*) > 1
     ) iq

A: select gt1.Id, COUNT(*)
from GroupText gt1
inner join GroupText gt2 on gt1.Id = gt2.Id and gt1.text != gt2.text
group by gt1.id

HB was founded in Brooklyn, New York City in 2006 when a Polish Credit Union Building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn was offered by it's landlord, Mr. Efraim Medicichi, to be used as a site for artistic intervention, before it was planed to be renovated. The three floor red brick building located in a polish neighborhood become over three weeks of hard work a inspiring communal platform with a group of 12 different artists creating site-specific works about home. The excitement and success around the project, its communal aspects and the quality of work created, spured an interest to continue on with the project as a unique alternative to the commercial NY art world.
HB project took place in NY in three additional buildings and neighbourhoods, all going through processes of gentrification: a cast-iron building in SoHo, Manhattan (HB II / 2007), an historic townhouse in Harlem, Manhattan (HB III / 2008), and a former clinic on the lower East Side of Manhattan (HB IV / 2009). In 2009, on the background of the financial crises in which Americans were loosing their homes, an article came out in the NY Times exposing the process of searching for Home, and the need to heal home through art.

Sam bought 4,500 shares in Company A in January 1994 at a cost of $5 per share. In February 2009, Sam applied to participate in a buy-back offer to dispose of 675 shares (15%). Company A approved a buy-back of 10% (450) of the shares on 15 June 2009. The company sent Sam a cheque on 5 July 2009 for $4,050 (450 shares $9). No part of the payment is a dividend.
Sam works out his capital gain for 2008-09 as follows.
Ranjini received a cheque for $9,600 (1,000 shares $9.60) on 8 June 2009.
Because it was an off-market share buy-back and the buy-back price was less than what the market value of the share would have been if the buy-back hadn't occurred, Ranjini works out her capital gain for the 2008-09 year as follows.

Germany—Never Look Away
HomeAll PostsAcademy Award nomineeGermany—Never Look Away
Academy Award nominee, Drama on February 1, 2019 331Views 0Likes
In 2007, director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was awarded the Foreign Language Academy Award for The Lives of Others, an excellent study of an East German secret agent who becomes absorbed in the lives of the playwright and the actress he is wiretapping. This earned von Donnersmarck the dubious opportunity to be hired to make a Hollywood film, The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. This one was not so excellent, to put it mildly. Twelve years after his initial success, von Donnersmarck has returned to his German roots with Never Look Away (Werk ohne Autor), a sprawling three-hour fusion of art and politics inspired by the life of the German artist Gerhard Richter. The German title translates as Work without Author.
Some of the 2019 Best Picture nominees have sparked controversy because of their distortion of the real stories upon which they were based. The most extreme example is Bohemian Rhapsody for which the bulk of the second half of the film bears no resemblance whatsoever to the lives of Freddie Mercury and the other members of Queen. BlacKkKlansman makes major changes to the story of Ron Stallworth, who, however, seems pleased with the dramatic upgrades. The film that is closest to the situation with Never Look Away is that of Green Book, for which there are competing realities presented by the families of Tony Villalonga and Donald Shirley.
In the case of Never Look Away, the clash has been between director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Gerhard Richter himself. The details are well-described by Dana Goodyear in her article in The New Yorker. Richter has said of von Donnersmarck, "He managed to abuse and grossly distort my biography." Meanwhile, Von Donnersmarck has said that when he looked at Richter's life story, "there wasn't quite enough in the true story, so I basically built my fictional story on this true story, put into it everything that I feel about modern art and the history of Germany in the 20th century." Not quite enough in the true story? As von Donnersmarck himself told Goodyear of Richter, "This man has lived through everything imaginable. He's lived through his mother being raped by the Russians, his father committing suicide, his aunt being euthanized, both of his uncles being killed on the Eastern Front, his childhood classmates being killed in the bombing of Dresden, the experience of incredible impoverishment." Von Donnersmarck claims that Richter approved the script, which Richter denies.
So, on to the plot. We first meet protagonist Kurt Barnett in 1937 when he is a child visiting an exhibit of art that the Nazi regime considers "degenerate" with his beautiful aunt, Elisabeth, who quietly praises the art to Kurt. Elisabeth is deemed schizophrenic and assigned to gynecologist Carl Seeband (Sebastien Koch, the playwright in The Lives of Others), who orders her to be sterilized and then executed.
Kurt (now played by Tom Shilling) grows up and becomes an art student. By now, the Nazis have been replaced by a communist regime, but the restrictions on what an artist can do are not much different. Kurt meets and marries fashion student Ellie (Paula Beer), who is Dr. Seeband's daughter. However, Kurt and Ellie do not know the connection between Seeband and the murder of Kurt's beloved aunt. In fact, Seeband doesn't know of the connection either. The young couple defects to West Germany, which was not that difficult in the days before the building of the Berlin Wall. They settle in Düsseldorf, where Kurt is accepted into a progressive art academy. If you are a fan of films about artists finding their path, you'll like the rest of Never Look Away.
No matter how often the film depicts real incidents in Gerhard Richter's life, there is just too much going on for me, and I found Never Look Away more muddled than inspiring.
Never Look Away received two Oscar nominations for best Foreign Language film and for Best Achievement in Cinematography for Caleb Deschanel, his sixth such nomination, going back to The Right Stuff in 1984.

I'm sniffing clear liquid in a phial. The powerful smell is extremely familiar, and yet I can't place it. Closing my eyes, I try to focus on an odour I know I've encountered countless times. But still, my mind is blank. "It's mushrooms," says the man in front of me.
I'm at the Experimental Food Society exhibition in London, an annual event featuring talks on the future of food, gourmet art – there's even a life-size statue of the Queen made of sugar – and demonstrations of how our perception of food depends on much more than taste alone.
The smell challenge was one example of how our different senses work together: an isolated odour can be hard to pinpoint without seeing and tasting the food too.
Our brain has everything to do with our experience of eating: it can often transform what's on our plate. In a crowded back-room, psychologist Charles Spence and colleagues from the Crossmodal Research Lab at the University of Oxford have set up experiments that challenge perception, showing how a plate's colour can make food look more or less appealing, how food presentation can trigger disgust, and how taste is skewed by our expectations. Sampling oyster leaves, for example, can be surprising since it has a fishy flavour, which is not typical of leafy greens.
But there's also a novel experiment in this room, dubbed the butcher's tongue illusion. It is a twist on the well-known rubber hand illusion. The original involves a volunteer putting their hand out of sight and then staring at a fake hand positioned on a table in front of them as if it were their own. If both the fake hand and the concealed hand are stroked in the same way at the same time, the volunteer can become convinced that the artificial hand is theirs.
"We thought it would be interesting to evaluate if out-of-body stimulation could also work on the tongue, using a lamb's tongue – or in this case a prop from a magic shop – as a substitute," says chef Charles Michel, a member of the lab who designed the device to test the brain trick.
Since we are much more used to seeing our arms than our tongue, the researchers were interested to see if the new trick would have a similar effect.
Participants were asked to stick out their tongue and look into a box, where a carefully positioned mirror shows them a fake tongue instead of their own. Then, using a wet cotton bud, the tip of both tongues are touched simultaneously 30 times. With the illusion now set up, there was a second set of touches, where sometimes the fake tongue was touched but not the real one.
About half of the people still thought they were being touched when they weren't, says Michel. They all said that they sometimes felt like the tongue they were seeing was their own.
In a shocking finale, Michel brings out a pair of scissors and attempts to cut the fake tongue, often eliciting screams, or laughter, from the volunteers (see video, above).
After analysing these initial tests, the researchers plan to go beyond the butcher's tongue illusion by investigating whether or not flavour can be experienced outside of the mouth. "Nobody has ever experienced this before, whereas I have often seen an arm in any position where a rubber hand illusion can be induced," says Spence.
By seeing drops of lemon on a fake tongue that we have accepted as our own, might it elicit some notion of its taste?
As a chef, Michel is intrigued by the implications for chefs and restaurateurs. He often noticed that a person's tongue would twitch when the fake tongue, and not the real tongue, was touched which he hopes to study under more scientific conditions. "If this is a case of disembodied cognition, maybe someday we can create virtual flavours, for example by using augmented reality or other types of human-computer interaction," says Michel.
As I leave the event, I test how sound can influence taste, a concept that Heston Blumenthal recently introduced with a seafood dish served up while listening to sounds of the sea. Two tubes are shaken while I sample some crisps. They make different sounds: the second helping does seem to taste saltier and crispier. But apparently they're the same and it's all in my head.
Next time I'm craving a salty snack, I might reach for my iPod instead.


Although some of the heavier duties are performed by contractors, the mainstay of habitat management work at Heyshott Escarpment, and on other Murray Downland Trust reserves, is performed by a dedicated band of volunteers. This is a chance to make a real difference and leave a lasting legacy for future generations to enjoy. The work being performed at Heyshott and further afield will ensure that the precious downland habitat in the care of the trust, and the wildlife it supports, are well catered for long into the distant future. It's also a great way to keep fit, both physically and mentally. If you attend, you will be visiting one of the most beautiful spots within the South Downs National Park, so bring your camera along to record the stunning views and autumn colours.
Between October and March (inclusive) each year, work parties set off from 'Upper Cranmore' (GU29 0DL, Grid Ref SU899178) at 9.00 am every Wednesday, unless inclement weather is likely to make working on the slopes hazardous or particularly unpleasant. If arriving later, it is relatively easy to find the group out on the reserve, by listening for power-tools or looking for bonfire smoke. By heading for Grid Ref SU899168 you should be close enough to see volunteers at work. The image (right) shows an entirely male group, but women regularly attend these work parties, as do all age groups. The slopes are steep in places, so a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required. Everyone receives a warm welcome.
Appropriate, protective clothing (warm and waterproof) is essential, including strong footwear, gloves and eye protection. Tools (bow saws, rakes etc.) are made available and there are duties to suit everyone.
Further details can be provided by Mark Colvin (07818 405859), Colin Knight (07704 830104) or Neil Hulme (07778 306816).

Remembering the former councillor who was committed to helping disadvantaged communities
Christine Borgars has been posthumously nominated for a Pride of Reading Award for years of serving her community
By Karen Jordan

A former East Reading councillor "committed to helping disadvantaged communities" has been posthumously nominated for a Pride of Reading Award.
Christine Borgars, a Park Ward councillor on Reading Borough Council for 13 years, passed away on August 12, aged 75.
A systems analyst for most of her professional life, Ms Borgars ran a computer club for children at Reading's Pakistan Community Centre.
She started to share her skills with youngsters after the council bought a number of computers for community use.
She was also heavily involved with charity work and chaired the council's traffic management committee.
Paying tribute to Ms Borgars after her death, Reading and District Labour Party wrote on their website: "Her last few weeks were filled with messages of love and support from many, many people in the Reading area and beyond.
"For the majority of Christine's life, she worked hard to improve society for everyone and knew that even the smallest gestures could have a large impact. She was a stalwart, with an acerbic wit and compassion with seemingly boundless depths."
How caring about the community has helped Reading Buses raise £75K for charity
Putting her forward as the 2018 Pride of Reading Community Champion, Roger Williams, 75, a former Royal Navy contractor from Newtown, said: "Christine very much deserves to win a posthumous award for a lifetime of community service.
"Her life was dedicated to the East Reading community, initially as a Park Ward councillor, and later dedicated to helping the disadvantaged, especially through the Pakistan Community Centre, where for years she has championed the computer club.
"Christine has been involved with many local groups, and I had the pleasure of working with her to establish the East Reading Festival now in its 13th year, and with various consultations with RBC on community issues."
The Community Champion Award is sponsored by House of Fraser.
The awards ceremony hosted by Chris Tarrant, will take place on Friday, November 2, at the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre in Reading, Berkshire.
Nominations are now closed! Thank you for all your fantastic stories.
The judges will consider all the nomination stories by the end of September.
Only shortlisted nominees will be invited to attend the awards ceremony on November 2.
If you haven't been contacted by mid-October then sadly you will not have been shortlisted.
The winners will be announced on the day.

I've just written a quick-and-dirty specification for authenticating Namecoin IDs without the need for a user agent program to create signatures. It works by delegating authentication to an OpenID Connect server. In this way, users can have control over who they trust to authenticate them, and can switch trust providers easily, while not requiring any support for Namecoin or NameID on the user agent. This would allow websites and other services to provide Namecoin as a primary form of authentication.
Hi! Are you aware of http://nameid.org ? Is it similar?
Yes, I am aware of NameID. The problem with NameID is that it requires a browser plugin or other custom software on the computer you're logging in from. My proposal does not necessarily require this, however, it does require that you trust the administrator of the OpenID Connect server (which could be yourself, on a home server, and likely will be in the project I am working on).
A service ("Relying Party") could reasonably support both logins with this proposal and with NameID, for users with different security requirements.

Meet Major Priya Jhingan (Cadet-001) – First Woman to join Indian Army
Today, Indian Army, Navy and Air Force have seen a good number of Women cadets. But have you ever thought of the first women cadet who undergone the training and become first women to Join Indian Army as a commissioned officer? Well, she is none other than Major Priya Jhingan.
It was until 1992, Indian Army realized the requirement of Women Officers in the Army.
How Major Priya Jhingan Joined Army?
Being the daughter of a Police Officer, Major Priya always dreamed of wearing the uniform and serves the country. Her dream was to be a IPS and hence wanted to join Indian Police Service. So, she wrote a letter to the then army chief Sunith Francis Rodrigues to offer an opportunity in the Indian Army.
In an interview, Major Priya Jhingan stated "I wanted to do it for my country. That is why I wrote that classic letter to the Chief of Army Staff to allow the commission to women into the Army. I wanted to march through life wearing the olive green uniform,"
The Chief initially accepted her request and responded her that Indian Army is planning to induct women cadets in the Army in next two years.

She was later reserved her seat in the Indian Army for law Graduates profile. On 21st September 1992, Major Priya Jhingan was enrolled as Cadet 001 and started her training in Officers Training Academy (OTA). With this, she becomes the first Lady cadet to join Indian Army.
In a conversation with bharat-rakshak.com, she told that "We wrapped the towels tightly around us and refused to let go of them. Finally, our platoon commander Captain P S Behl had to come and order us to stand in attention. The towels fell, and we marched forward,"
On 6th March 1993, she finally completed her training and was commissioned in Indian Army. She proposed the Army to join Infantry division, which was rejected by the Army. Hence she joined the Army as Judge Advocate General.
Life during OTA Training
As she was the daughter of a Police Officer, her father was a broad minded personality who accompanies her in most of her decisions. And because of that, her mother knows that she would do something out of the box. She attended SSB interview at Allahabad.
During the training tenure, she along with the first batch of women cadets treated similarly as Gentlemen Cadets. Indian Army, at that time, was not having any distinct training standards for lady cadets. Today, however, the training is almost same for boys and girls, there are minor variations in the training standards.
Major Priya Jhungan's Life after Army
After Serving 10 glorious years in Indian Army, she was finally released in 2002 as Major Priya Jhingan. Later she was shortlisted for many government positions. She cleared Haryana Judicial Services but denied to join the service. She then pursued her Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. After her journalism course, she started working as an Editor in Sikkim Express, a weekly in Gangtok.
But this even not satisfied her soul. In 2013, she finally left her job and started teaching in Lawrence School in Sanawar. She joined the school as an English Tutor. In 2008, Major Priya also participated in Kahtron Ke Khiladi Season 1, which was hosted by Akshay Kumar.
During her service tenure, she was married to Lieutenant Colonel Manoj Malhotra. After serving in Army, Lt Col Manok Malhotra builds a company named Pep Turf to promote adventure sports and fitness. Being a qualified skydiver and paragliding pilot, he works as a Ski and Zumba Fitness instructor in his company.
For many, Major Priya Jhungan will always be a role model to work hard till you achieve success. Being the first women cadet of Indian Army, she has motivated countless young women to join Indian Army and serve the Nation with Pride.

admin February 8, 2019 February 8, 2019 Comments Off on Think Your Dog´s Not Listening? Train Him To!
If you´re new to owning a dog, you may be feeling overwhelmed at all there is to do just to make sure your new pet is happy and healthy – making sure he´s well-behaved is another ballgame!
This article will give you the tips you need to start training your dog successfully, right from the beginning.
The first few days after you bring your new puppy home are the most important. You´re going to want to stock up on your patience and understand that consistency and persistence are important keys to training your new dog. Right from the start, it´s a good idea to make sure your puppy doesn´t get away with any behavior you deem unacceptable. Know what your expectations are going to be ahead of time so you can discourage bad behavior while rewarding the good.
A word of caution about kids and dogs – most of the time puppies and children do wonderfully together. Still, children tend to mimic and repeat what they hear their parents say. Avoid letting your child continually give commands to your pet. When your dog hears commands given repeatedly with little authority, he will tend to ignore the command altogether. After all, your dog is a smart cookie and it doesn´t take long for him to recognize when there won´t be any repercussions for doing so.
Maybe you´ve heard this one already…Consistency is key. If you don´t want your dog on the sofa or taking up most of your bed, don´t let him get up there, to begin with. As your dog matures and learns what is expected of him, you can occasionally make an exception. Just make sure he understands, YOU decide when that occasion will be and that he´s only allowed to do it when you say so.
It´s always a good idea to spend some extra time with your puppy outside. After all, dog´s love to dig and if you want to keep your garden from harm, you will need to teach him not to dig in it. Instead of just letting your puppy outside and returning to what you were doing in the house, spend a bit of time together playing fetch or rough-housing. After a bit let your puppy wander off, sniff and check things out. Just be ready to nip any unacceptable behavior – like digging in your flower beds – in the bud. By supervising your puppy early on, you´ll help him learn what he can – and cannot – do when he´s outside on his own.
Each time you´re finished with your training session, take a few minutes to play fetch or another fun game with your dog. It won´t take long for your dog to understand what´s coming at the end of each training session and he will begin looking forward to your daily training. And the more excited he is, the more focused he will be!
After your puppy has mastered the commands you´ve been practicing, move your training location. If you´ve been training him in the yard, try training him in the house or on your driveway. You might interrupt a walk to practice a few training maneuvers or carry out a training session at your local park. Doing this will help your puppy learn to focus because each new location presents him with a new set of distractions. Though he might find it challenging at first, you will be amazed at how quickly he learns to ignore the distractions and focus on listening more carefully to your commands.
If your puppy starts acting up, becoming destructive or doing things you do not want him to do, he may not be getting enough exercise. Try walking your dog several times a day (at least 3!) If your dog is what´s deemed a "working dog" like a Labrador Retriever, then you should take him for a run at least once a day. A dog that is given the chance to use up his extra energy is often a much better-behaved pet.
Since some behavior problems can be traced back to a poor diet, it´s important to feed your dog high-quality food. High-quality dog food is made with nutrient-rich ingredients and has an expiration date. Make sure your dog gets the protein he needs and definitely avoid feeding him from the table. Table scraps won´t give your dog the proper vitamins and minerals (and can also make him fat!) Truth is, a well-fed dog is much happier and healthier than a dog that isn´t getting the nutrients his body needs.
Bonus Tip: Do you have trouble with your puppy making a mad dash for an open door? If so, you need to take steps to prevent it. Try using a baby gate to block the open door in the beginning. Start out by training him to sit and stay by the closed front door. Once he can do this, teach him to sit and stay with the door slightly ajar. Move on to training him to sit and stay at the open door with a leash – gradually moving on to teaching him to sit and stay at the open door without his leash.
There´s no question, as a new dog owner you´re going to be faced with many different challenges. Follow the tips outlined above and you will be much closer to having a well-trained dog. They´ll also help you have a better understanding of what it takes to be a consequent yet loving dog owner.

Issue 18: December 2015
In the Aftermath of Publication
Thanks to all those of you who have bought a copy of my biography of Balchin. I'm sorry that some of you may have waited quite a while for your book to arrive owing to some distribution problems that occurred soon after publication but I'm pleased to say that those glitches have long since been sorted out. If you have yet to buy a copy of the book then it can still be obtained via a wide range of internet outlets or, in the UK, it's very easy to place an order via any bookshop.
I have been working very hard throughout the autumn to promote the book but have met with mixed results. I've certainly had some successes, particularly at local level, but national coverage has so far proved elusive. I think that one or two favourable reviews in national publications would do wonders for raising the profile of the book but I'm not aware of any as yet. The books industry is of course a highly competitive marketplace, especially for a self-published author like myself, and many of the people I've been pitching ideas to have never heard of Balchin, which doesn't make my life any easier! However, I'm certainly not giving up yet and will continue to spread the word about both Balchin and my biography in 2016. Hopefully the day will finally dawn when all the boxes of books in my spare room are empty!
Do please get in touch if you have any promotional ideas for me to consider as I'm always looking to exploit interesting new angles. And if any of you would care to post a review of my book on Amazon (whether complimentary or not!) then that would also be greatly appreciated.
The Future of This Newsletter
This newsletter was of course set up originally with the aim of generating interest in my biography ahead of publication and can therefore be said to have done its job. Although I don't intend to stop producing the newsletter, I do intend making a couple of changes to it. From now on, I will be publishing it twice a year (in June and December) rather than quarterly as at present. The long articles on Balchin which have been the cornerstones of past issues will I think have to be phased out for two reasons: (i) because they are very time-consuming to write and (ii) because I've run out of ideas for them! So from now on the newsletter will be shorter than it has been in the past and is likely to primarily comprise a round-up of the latest Balchin-related activity (it will be interesting to see what, if anything, transpires in the wake of the publication of my biography). I hope that nobody will be too disappointed by these developments: please feel free to pitch in with new ideas for content if you have any.
See you next time, when summer will be upon us.
Derek Recommends…
By way of a new feature, I thought I would offer the first in a series of reading recommendations, all of which have at least a tangential relationship with the works of Balchin.
Recommended to me earlier this year by the landlord of my local pub (!), First Light by Geoffrey Wellum is an absorbing memoir by the youngest Spitfire pilot in the RAF's 92 Squadron during World War Two. While Bill Sarratt was fighting against ministerial bureaucracy in Darkness Falls from the Air and Sammy Rice was tinkering with experimental fuses in The Small Back Room, young Wellum (17 when he joined the RAF) was busily shooting down Messerschmitts over the English Channel! So this book is really a sort of true-life front-line counterpoint to Balchin's home-front stories.
Exhilaratingly written and highly memorable, First Light is one of the best books I've read all year.
Reissue Corner
Orion Books kindly sent me copies of their new versions of Darkness Falls from the Air and The Small Back Room for review purposes.
As I've said before, I think the covers of the two books are excellent: contemporary, atmospheric and a vast improvement on the very dull images that adorned the covers of the Cassell reissues of about 15 years ago. In other respects though, these books fall well short of my expectations. The paper is rather thin, the print is simply a photoreproduction of that used in earlier versions and there are no 'extras' of any sort that would help persuade existing Balchin fans to part with £8.99 for each of these new artefacts. I still believe that well-written introductions explaining who Balchin was, why he matters and how he came to write these two books would have been a considerable asset. I spotted three factual mistakes in the 13-line biographical sketch that appears in the preliminary pages and was miffed to note that the 'Praise for Nigel Balchin' section that appears in the same part of the book has been lifted almost wholesale from my Nigel Balchin Website without any acknowledgement whatsoever!
In my opinion, Orion are testing the water here by releasing new editions of these books that are very cheap for them to produce. I just hope that, if sales prove to be disappointing, the company will not conclude that "there is no longer any market for the novels of Nigel Balchin". If anyone is in any doubt regarding what Orion can achieve when they feel like it then have a look at their recent series of Geoffrey Household reissues, particularly the superlative Rogue Male. Those books have bright, striking covers, are printed on thick, creamy paper, deploy a large, clear, modern typeface and, certainly in the case of Rogue Male, include an informative introduction to the author and his novel. I feel that Orion have missed a trick by not doing something similar with Balchin and therefore have also missed a real opportunity to reintroduce his two finest novels to a whole new readership. However, I must give at least two cheers to Orion for bothering to reissue Balchin's work in the first place: anything is substantially better than nothing in this regard and it has been very good to see examples of Balchin's work reappearing in bookshops around the country this autumn.
In conclusion then, my ratings are as follows:
¬¬¬¬¬ for the stories themselves
¬¬ for these reissued versions
Bright idea: fans of Geoffrey Household have been well served by these colourful Orion reissues.
This is a photo (or rather photos) that I have been using in some of the lectures I have given this autumn to promote my biography. They show Balchin photographed in 1952 (on the left) and again about 15 years later. Quite a transformation I think you'll agree: to my mind, it is almost as if one is looking at two completely different people. I think this demonstrates some of the damage that alcoholism can wreak on a person's appearance because the later photo was taken at the time when Balchin's drinking was at its very worst and it was only really in the mid-1960s that he started to look so different from his earlier publicity shots. The full story of Balchin's alcoholism is told in Chapter 24 of my biography.

There's plenty of positive divergence on the 60min charts, but overall the setup looks bearish for equities today. I'll be watching big support in the 1285 SPX area as very key. A break down from there would look very significant.
As I've been writing ES and TF have both been breaking support. That's switching my short term view to bearish for today. Next decent ES support at 1315.50.
So what of the longer term situation here? Can a major new bull wave be in progress. My bullish EW friend Pug thinks so, and taking the other end of his trades has been an expensive business the last couple of years. He has us in wave 2 of major P3 here, with 3 pf P3 starting after a retracement to 1327 SPX to 1315 SPX. Considering the likely reaction to an announcement of a debt deal here, which if it will be made at all should be made by next Monday, it isn't at all hard to see a powerful reaction move to new highs in response, which would deliver Pug's third wave move through overhead resistance.
On the bear side I understand there's an important Bradley turn date on Friday and as Cobra points out in last night's post, QQQ is showing some characteristic topping candles.
We're in limbo this week while the debt ceiling deal in being negotiated in the US. It's hard to see a big move up before there's serious progress there. Leaning short for some correction in the next day or two.
The big news this week is the talks to increase the US debt ceiling. Officially the deadline is August 2nd, but I've seen credible estimates that could extend that by a week or so. What's interesting here is the degree to which both sides have a significant incentive to wreck any agreement. On the Republican side the populist Tea Party movement is dead set against tax increases and even tax loophole reform where that results in net tax gains. This is making the Republicans take a much harder line than they might otherwise. On the Democrat side there is an opportunity to transfer ownership of the economy back to the Republicans if the talks fail, and Republican intransigence can credibly be blamed. The government shutdown in 1995 was an electoral disaster for Republicans and at least some of Obama's advisors may well be advising him here that his best chance of re-election may be to be seen to try hard, and fail, to reach an agreement here.
Of course a loss of confidence in the bond markets that led to a significant increase in interest rates might well eat up all of the currently proposed savings in increased interest payments but hey, it's not their money.
I'm leaning short today and watching this retracement carefully for signs that it may mark a significant high. If the bear case for the rest of the summer has any weight, then we reached the obvious reversal levels on Friday. A break above those would suggest that the bulls are right about a new bull wave up.
I'm looking for a short term high to be made soon and am watching the support trendlines on the top four charts for a reversal signal. I have an open mind over what happens afterwards and will be watching the depth and speed of the subsequent retracement for an indication of how far this summer rally might go.
I'm sleeping badly this week and I'll probably skip trading today though I have some equity longs I'll leave on as I'm leaning bullish. I'll keep the post relatively short too as I've started late and the market prospects today can easily be summed up in a couple of charts. First though I've been meaning to talk about a popular myth that I often see referred to, and that is the myth that stock market performance is unrelated to economic performance.
Over shorter timeframes, as with some other popular myths, this can be true, but the apparent lack of correlation vanishes over longer timeframes, as you would expect logically of course. Those longer timeframes are of course the generally 15 to 20 year periods of the secular bull and bear markets.
There's a reasonable (and concise) view of these periods since 1906 in an article here, and it's well worth a look to give the overall context of the current period that we are trading through now. Looking at the last 60 years though, the secular bull market period 1950-1966 was a very strong period for equities at the same time as a period of strong economic growth. During the secular bear market 1966-82 economic performance was weak and equities lost value in real terms. In the secular bull market 1982-2000 we saw another very strong period for equities at the same time as a strong period for economic growth. That growth was slower than earlier bull cycles but it is a fact that economic growth slows down in more mature economies, possibly because of the higher proportion of government spending and consequent crowding out of the private sector. In the ongoing secular bear market from 2000 growth has been weak and fitful and equities have again lost value in real terms. The chances are that will continue until this secular bear market ends, most likely in the 2015-2020 period.
What's also interesting are the reasons that economies and equities have peaked and then corrected. My favorite book on this subject is Galbraith's The Great Crash 1929, which also has a very illuminating foreword written near the peak of the 1950-66 secular bull market. Galbraith talks there about the role of leverage in the great bubble of the 20s, and then talks about the rediscovery of the power of leverage in the late 50s, a key factor in the bubble that culminated in the mid-60s, and the painful deleveraging period that followed during the next secular bear market. You could reasonably assume reading this book that not only do these cycles look fairly similar, but the causes of the booms and busts look rather similar as well.
What we have learned that is new in this current cycle though, is that even with famous scholars of previous cycles (Ben Bernanke), in key policymaking positions, all policymakers are managing to do is find new ways to make the same old mistakes. A slightly dispiriting refutation of the implication of George Santanaya's quote above, which is that if you study your history, you have less chance of repeating previous mistakes. Perhaps by the time the next secular bull cycle is peaking in the 2130s policymakers will have managed to learn something useful.
So how does this apply to us today? Well the first thing to note is that of the three secular bear market periods since 1906, the shortest lasted 16 years and the longest lasted 20 years. Realistically therefore, there is no good reason to think that this current secular bear market will be any shorter, not least because we can easily see around us that the policy response to overleveraging has been denial and a 'pretend and extend' policy based on the idea that if the problem can be brushed under the carpet long enough, it will somehow resolve itself. That seems unlikely, current policies look likely to end in a major sovereign debt crisis, which will lead to austerity and/or inflation, which should end the secular bear market cycle after another major downswing in equities.
Anyway, that's economic cycles history 101 concluded for today so let's see how the markets are looking in the short term.
That's it for today, apart from adding that I'm doubtful about this current move being the start of a big bull wave up like the one we saw last summer. I think there's a good chance of ES recovering the 1343 area, but after that I'll be watching support trendlines and patterns to signal a reversal which I suspect may not be long in coming. Meanwhile I'm enjoying the bull side here.
In the short term today there is strong resistance at 1329.50 ES and ES is stalling there at the moment. The Gap Guy is saying that the odds of a gap filling today are excellent. If that resistance level on ES can be cleared I'll then be watching the 845 target on RUT for the next possible reversal level.
Why am I looking for a rally here? There are a number of reasons. The falling wedges on SPX and Dow are pointing upwards. The action on equities over the last few days has shown decreasing downwards momentum, reflected in the formation of those wedges. NDX has been outperforming the other indices, which is generally bullish, and the futures charts have now broken up from their declining resistance trendlines, which is suggesting that we rally from here. How far will that go? Possibly to new highs but I'm not expecting a big new move up like the one we saw after last summer's correction. We'll see.
