While the use of dietary supplements while on the HCG diet is not usually necessary, some supplementation can be good for your overall health, and some can even improve the effectiveness of the diet. This article will briefly describe some of the various dietary supplements suggested for each phase of the diet, and how each supplement can be beneficial during that phase.
The goal of the preparatory phase is to clear the body of toxins present in modern, especially pre-packaged foods. One of the most important things to remember in this phase as well as all of the other phases is to make sure you drink enough water. Most of the supplements that are suggested for use during this phase are meant to help your body rid itself of toxins. Yerba-mate tea, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, coconut oil and digestive enzymes are common to use during this phase, as well as natural laxatives such as psyllium husk and senna.
During the loading / binging / gorging phase there is not usually any need to supplement the diet, as the goal of this phase is to consume as much food, particularly fatty food as possible. If you are used to taking multivitamin and/or other supplements, you should continue during this phase. Some dieters may experience constipation during this phase. If you do, it may be indicating a couple of problems. You might not be drinking enough water. Make sure that you are drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day during this phase. You also may have increased carbohydrate intake too much and are not consuming enough oil. You should diligently work to ensure that you include plenty of oils along with other fats into your diet during this phase.
During Phase 2 (the strict 500 calorie phase), a specific blend of the right vitamins is recommended. The stabilization phase can also benefit from certain supplements. However, during Phase 2 and Stabilization is also a time when supplements could potentially do the most harm to your weight loss. Dr. Simeons plan forbids the use of any medications or supplements that are not medically necessary. The only exceptions are laxatives to relieve constipation and aspirin to relieve headaches and other pain. Dr. Trudeau and many practitioners advocate the much greater use of supplements. If you do decide to take supplements, use high quality ones and avoid any with added oils, sugars, and starches.
If you experience weakness and fatigue during Phase 2, you may benefit from supplements to treat these issues. Certain minerals are very important in the production of energy, so supplementation of them can help. Magnesium and potassium are the two most important ones. These essential minerals assist the body with regulating the levels of hydration within the body, as well as helping to control muscle and nerve function. Both assist the body with nerve transmission especially as it relates to controlling muscular functions and avoiding malfunctions such as cramping and spasming. The human body uses potassium to build proteins, break down carbohydrates, control nerve electrical activity, and control the PH levels within the body.
Magnesium is used by the body to regulate glucose levels and is used in the production of energy. It is important in controlling nerve and muscle functions, as well as combining with calcium to build and maintain bones. Magnesium also help to ensure regular bowel movements.
Vitamin supplementation, especially of the B vitamins, can also help with energy during phase 2. These vitamins help in the formation of red blood cells. B vitamins, and B12 in particular, play key roles in the production of energy by controlling the cellular metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids.
Vitamin A supplementation during HCG diet would primarily be beneficial because of its anti-oxidative properties. It can also help to maintain the liver during this period while it has extra work to perform because of all of the extra toxins being freed up as fat within the body is being broken down.
Vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It is also important in preserving bodily resistance to infection and maintaining bone and connective tissue health.
Vitamin D is essential for proper function of nerve, muscle, and immune systems, as well as combining with calcium in strengthening and maintaining bones. While exposure to sunlight causes your body to produce vitamin D, the major dietary sources of vitamin D, egg yolks, fish, and liver, are all severely restricted or prohibited during HCG phase 2. You should definitely consider supplementing vitamin D especially if you do not get regular exposure to sunlight during phase 2.
Vitamin E is another antioxidant. Leafy greens are a good source of vitamin E, so make an effort to include lots of greens into your meals.
Vitamin K is important in controlling blood coagulation. Without proper coagulation, you can bleed out from minor cuts. Leafy greens are a good source of this vitamin, so just make sure you eat plenty of greens.
Overall, you might have sufficient vitamins and minerals, or you might not. Most deficiencies will not show up in just a 30-45 day time period, but the very low calorie diet with its very specific food restrictions warrant keeping watch. Some minerals and vitamins will be freed up from your fat cells as your body metabolizes the fat, so this will help to minimize the effect of such a restrictive diet.
Be vigilant and keep alert for telltale signs of any deficiencies or excesses so that you can address them as rapidly as possible.

New Doctor Who trailer to air 15/7/18
Football might not be coming home, but the TARDIS is on its way!
It's been announced that the first official trailer for the new series of Doctor Who will air as part of BBC One's World Cup Final broadcast this Sunday (July 15).
France v. Croatia will play out from 3.50pm – 6.35pm, but the smart money's on a half-time broadcast, from around 4.45pm to 5pm.
Jodie Whittaker is the new Doctor, becoming the first female star to play the iconic sci-fi role in Doctor Who's 55-year history.
"I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey – It's more than an honour to play the Doctor," she said. "It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can't wait."
The 13th Doctor's new friends are Yasmin (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Graham (Bradley Walsh) – yes, we'll be getting a full-fledged TARDIS team!
New showrunner Chris Chibnall apparently has a "five-year" plan for the series… and he won't be playing it safe. "What the BBC was after was risk and boldness," he said in June 2017. He'll be joined on this journey by executive producer Matt Stevens (Misfits).
In a new interview withEntertainment Weekly, Whittaker said that the new series is "hopeful and fizzing with wonder," while Chibnall described her Doctor as "warm", "inclusive" and "energetic".
Doctor Who is expected to return to BBC One in October with 10 new episodes. A Christmas special is expected to follow, though this is yet to be officially confirmed by the BBC.

*Floor Associates-allowed to discount up to $50 from any item without needing to call a manager.
*Assistant Manager-has ability to discount up to $500 without calling the store manager.
*Store Manager-can discount up to $1000 without calling the Regional Director."
I had no idea! But now I know and will be taking advantage of this when I need a new washer and dryer!
For airline discounts, instead of using price comparison sites like kayak.com, go directly to the airline sites themselves. More and more airlines are offering coupon codes and these lower prices are not reflected until you enter the code. Also, don't forget to sign up with yapta.com and they'll track airfares for you. Even if your fare drops after you've booked, you may be eligible for a refund for the difference - in the form of a credit or voucher from the airline."
Great advice! I want to go on vacation in December and have been scouring kayak, I just checked out yapta and I'm gonna sign up! I LOVE to save money!
Gone are the days you have to pay hundreds for glasses and contacts. For as low as $6.95, you can buy glasses at eyebuydirect.com."
Thankfully, I don't need glasses (anymore) and hopefully I'm still a few years away from reading glasses. This could come in handy if you have several kiddos all needed glasses though. Keep in mind that you do need to see a local Optometrist to get your prescription. We have some great ones right here in Texarkana!
If you're paying out of pocket for your next medical or dental visit, ask to speak to someone in their billing department about discounts for cash payments. Many healthcare providers would rather offer discounts - of 10% to 50%! - than have to go through the tedious claims process. "
This one got me the most. I never even thought to ask for a cash discount. Since I'm self-employed, I don't have health insurance currently. I'm going to do this next time one of us has to go to the doctor.
Do you have any suggestions for other ways to save money? Please share!


Obviously, what I'm saying is based on Eastern Medicine. Please do not walk into your doctor's office tomorrow and tell her that the cold salad and iced tea you had last night for dinner are the cause of all your ailments. However, please hear me out. Thousands of years of Chinese Medicine observation, theory, and treatment have to count for something, right?
Why Is Coldness A Potential Problem?
Coldness slows things down and it also constricts. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we find that if the too much internal coldness impacts the circulation of blood and fluids *think slow moving iceberg or imagine trying to drink a frozen slushie through a straw*. Things just aren't moving as fast or as smoothly as they should. In TCM we often talk about 'blood stasis' resulting from too much coldness in the body. This simply means that your blood is not circulating at its optimal potential. Again, this is from an Eastern perspective. This does not mean that you are losing all blood flow to your body parts. However, too much stagnation in women can manifest as endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, menstrual clots/cramps, fertility issues, etc.

Spring is just around the corner, and this is the absolute BEST time of the year to cleanse and support your liver and gallbladder. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, certain organ pairs are linked to the seasons. During an organ's particular season it's always the most ideal time to support that organ--Springtime is Liver-Gallbladder time.
The liver acts as the powerhouse filter for the body. It filters blood so toxins do not accumulate. The liver also produces bile which is then stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps the body digest and absorb fats, but it also aids in the removal of certain waste products. Even excess cholesterol is excreted through bile. Thus, a healthy bile flow can help balance cholesterol levels. Bile also helps destroy pathogenic organisms in the body and regulates the bacteria in the intestines. The liver and gallbladder also play a prominent role in the regulation of hormones such as estrogen which are metabolized in the liver and excreted through the intestines with the aid of bile.
When the liver and gallbladder are sluggish, guess what happens? They don't do their job efficiently which means toxins and excess hormones can accumulate in the body. You can think of the liver the same way you'd think about the filter in your car. If you never clean the filter, your car will eventually suffer for it. Likewise, failing to clean and support our liver-gallbladder can often result in health consequences.

It's not as difficult (or boring) as you think. First things first. Get your mindset in the right space. You. Can. Do. It. I know the idea of changing up your diet can create anxiety, annoyance, and even fear. I'm here to tell you it really does not have to be complicated, and your meals do not have to be boring. When someone decides to remove something from the diet such as grains, dairy and/or sugar, the first question is 'What can I eat?' Visions of salads all day every day begin to haunt them. Trust me, I didn't eat all of those things mentioned above (dairy, grains, sugar, etc.) for 1 month and I found plenty of delicious things to eat. However, it does take a little planning ahead to not fall into the salad rut.
As Valentine's Day draw nears I'm thinking of you. Why? Because while this holiday reminds us all to think about those we hold dear to our hearts, it should also serve as a reminder to give ourselves a little love.
Trust me when I say that if you are thinking of making changes to your diet in order to improve your health, you can do it, and your meals don't have to be boring.

Thanksgiving is a few days away. While we prepare our homes and our kitchens to embrace this time with our loved ones, we often neglect to prepare our body to handle the onslaught of deliciousness headed its way. Taking a few simple steps to support your digestion during the holidays will help you to stay healthy overall. The reality is that those holiday treats often mean extra sugar which can lower your immune system and make you more prone to getting sick. Also, changing up the diet with rich, heavy meals can lead to bloating and digestive discomfort.
Do you get bloated after meals?
Do you get sinus congestion or excess phlegm during and/or after meals?
Do certain foods affect your bowel movements?
Does stress impact your bowel movements?
Posted on November 23, 2015 by JoAnna Montoya, L.Ac., Dipl.O.M..
Vegetables are healthy, but eating them in their raw state is not necessarily the healthiest way to consume them. Raw vegetables can actually be very hard on the digestive system, and for certain body types, can really impact overall health in a negative way. Ironically, many people eat an abundance of salads because they want to lose weight, but for certain body types too many damp foods actually cause the body to retain dampness which make it MORE difficult to lose weight.

Spring is officially upon us, and it is a wonderful time for cleansing and renewal. Spring is associated with the wood element, which governs the liver and the gallbladder. This is the best time of year to focusing on balancing and cleansing the liver/gallbladder through acupuncture, herbs, and diet.

Recom was commissioned to supply a 15T containerized ice plant in Italy for the more recent development in the applications of Ice Pigging. Together with SUEZ Advanced Solutions UK ,the exclusive developer of this technology, Recom provides a great and sustainable solution for the maintenance and cleaning of tanks, water supply pipes, sewerage and irrigation cleanings with recognized results all over Europe.
Ice Pigging is a highly effective and low risk pipe line cleaning technology. Just in the Netherlands there is about 117.000 kilometers of drinking water pipelines, which have to be cleaned from time to time. With ice pigging a combination of water and flake ice is pumped into the pipe and forced along inside in order to remove sediments and unwanted deposits. It combines the benefits of the two traditional methods, flushing with water and forcing a solid object trough the pipe, without any of the drawbacks. Recom's ice machines are perfectly capable of producing the right type of ice for this technique and together with the customer, we engineer the perfect solution for every situation.


T3 Green Plus is made exclusively from sustainable Responsible Wood and PEFC Chain of Custody certified Australian plantation pine. Australian plantation pine is a greenhouse positive product with a lower net environmental impact than almost all other building materials. Meaning it is one of the only building materials that actually helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
T3 Green Plus is a no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) timber preservative product and virtually odour free, making it uniquely people friendly and suitable for both indoor & outdoor framing projects.
Wood is an ideal structural medium, with a strength-to-weight ratio 20 percent higher than steel and 4 to 5 times better than non-reinforced concrete in compression. Every piece of T3 Green Plus is scanned up to six times prior to a structural grade being awarded, and this data is retained for a year to ensure full traceability back to the forestry plantation it was harvested from.
The production and processing of wood is highly energy efficient, giving wood products a very low carbon footprint. Wood can often be used in place of materials like steel, aluminium, concrete or plastics that require large amounts of energy to produce. In fact, "substituting a cubic metre of wood for other construction materials (concrete, blocks or bricks) results in the significant average of 0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2 savings"*.
* Source: Using wood products to mitigate climate change: A review of evidence and key issues for sustainable development (January 2004), International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and The Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management (ECCM).
Uncoated T3 Green Plus is termite and fungal resistant and can resist the effects of weather for short periods, typical of normal construction environments and timescales. However, it should be stored in dry conditions wherever possible. After delivery and prior to use, T3 Green Plus should ideally be protected from moisture by covering with a waterproof membrane and storing above the ground.
T3 Green Plus off-cuts and saw dust are not classified as hazardous waste; however regulations for disposal may vary in different jurisdictions. For most residential users, treated timber off-cuts, waste pieces and shavings can be disposed by ordinary waste collection. Trade and commercial users may need to check local requirements.

Stoke-on-Trent has a long history with industry and production and is famous for its steel, coal-mining, and pottery. Because of this, the city has several museums to showcase these products. For example, the former Chatterley Whitfield Colliery mining site is now a museum, and the World of Wedgwood and Gladstone Pottery Museum show off the city's beautiful pottery wares. The area boasts several parks and historic houses. There is Trentham Monkey Forest to be explored and theme park Alton Towers is situated close by. Alongside pottery, Stoke-on-Trent has several arts venues including art galleries and Stoke Film Theatre which shows arthouse films. In addition, the city has a few outdoor sculptures. One of these is a steel statue called 'Golden', which features prisms with messages by residents, illuminated by LED lights. Those set on seeing some Stoke-on-Trent theatre or live music will want to head to one of the acclaimed performance venues in the city, such as concert space Victoria Hall or the Regent Theatre. Shows in Stoke-on-Trent encompass everything from stand-up and yearly pantomimes to fringe and touring pieces.

The Free Black Women's Library gives away books and black girl magic
Emma Bracy
http://fus.in/2dvvIT8
Walking up to the Free Black Women's Library felt like approaching a stoop sale or block party, but much more artistic: The sidewalk was lined with tables covered in impressive wax print Adinkra cloth atop which sat piles and piles of skillfully arranged books—all the words and stories of black women. I found Octavia Butler and Toni Morrison commingling with Sapphire and Iyanla Vanzant on one table; another, all children's books. Some people chatted, others read silently, more still perused the tables for books they may have never heard of, but might want to take. Everything about the space was welcoming. More importantly, everything about the space welcomed me.
According to founder Olaronke Akinmowo, the Free Black Women's Library is, in "super super super super simple terms," a mobile library—it travels around Brooklyn and sometimes beyond. It contains about 450 books, all written by black women, spanning all genres: children's lit to erotica. The library "pops up" once a month or more, depending on things like the season and space availability, and is typically bolstered by other art projects or community events that bring the books to life, from performances, to music, to critical conversation. To "borrow" a book from the library, just bring one (must also written by a black woman) to leave in its place.
Olaronke Akinmowo, founder of the Free Black Women's Library.
"I feel like 'library' gives people this idea that they can come and take books, and that's it—that's all that happens," Akinmowo told me. "But there's so much more going on." It's true—I witnessed just how much more firsthand.
"Lately I've been calling it a biblio-installation," Akinmowo said before the event. "Every time [the library] appears somewhere it's brand new, and every time the books are laid out, they look like art. All these gorgeous covers, all these beautiful fonts; it's very beautiful."
The aesthetic of the event I attended matched that of the space where it was held: Bed-Stuy's Chokmah Hair Lab Salon and Barber Shop. Stylish. Deliberate. Calling on something from another time and place.
"I'm very intentional about how I put the books out," Akinmowo said when asked to describe the library. "They're on display, and it feels almost like a gallery space—but it's interactive, because you can touch everything that's there, and you can move things around, and it's just constantly shifting depending on who's present."
When she began the project back in June of 2015, Akinmowo—who works as a set decorator and art director and coordinator—initially intended for the library to be carted around on a bike trailer. But thanks mostly to donations given in person and sent to a PO box, her collection quickly grew to over 400 books—way too many for her to pull along on two wheels. Although she hopes to one day have a designated RV that can serve as a permanent mobile home for the books (and will allow Akinmowo to extend the library's reach far beyond Brooklyn), for now, she gets them where they need to be thanks to the support of friends with cars or community groups she partners with.
Akinmowo views books as more than just collections of words and pages, more than just windows into new worlds, which is why she started the library—a labor of love for the working mother—to begin with.
She's always adored books and reading; as a child, she was able to find refuge from a sometimes violent home life in the public library, which offered her a safe space. Since then, she's always wanted to do something that uses books to engage community in a way that is not "overly academic or cerebral," she said.
As an adult, she became acquainted with black women authors. "Reading Audre Lorde and bell hooks and Toni Morrison just had me seeing the world differently and seeing myself differently, and it was very healing and very politicizing," she said. She felt certain that there had to be other people who felt similarly and from that belief sprang forth the idea for the library as we know it today.
"I also got inspired by Black Lives Matter, and how their work is very much grassroots, and very much about meeting people where they're at," she said. Akinmowo told me that actions inspired by Say Her Name, which focuses specifically on the numerous black female victims of police violence, helped her realize that many people are still unaware that black women also suffer at the hands of the state—that Black Lives Matter is not only about black men. "I feel like that's not a conversation that happens a lot," she said, adding that "black women need to be talked about. Not just in terms of tragedy and violence, but in general. Black women need to be talked about." The library gives Akinmowo and other people the opportunity to hear many different black women's voices and stories in many different ways.
Keeping this heterogeneity in mind, every month the library has a different theme, which can range from Afrofuturism to self-care (and anything in between). "Look at all the different things black women are about," she said. "We're not a monolith, we're not all into the same stuff, and that's totally fine." We have similar struggles and similar issues—from fibroids to getting paid less than men, Akinmowo pointed out—but we also have endless passions and interests. "Every month I'm like, 'Oh my God, what is the theme going to be for this month? What are we gonna talk about?' And then something will happen, and I'm like, 'Whoop! There it is.'" She rattled off a list of potential themes: Healthcare. Motherhood. Finances. Dating. Spirituality. Transitioning to natural hair. Even "something as simple as finding a place to live."
The theme of the event I attended, which was supported by members of Brooklyn Movement Center's (BMC) anti-street harassment group, No Disrespect (who had partnered with Akinmowo to support this particular event), was, fittingly, street harassment.
As part of their participation, No Disrespect prepared some reading material and helped moderate a discussion about experiences of street harassment. The group, which aims to transform a culture of harassment and intimidation into one of mutual respect and compassion, is anti-criminalization, and not interested in punitive measures against street harassment. "There's enough criminalization of black and brown men in these communities already," explained No Disrespect member Laurel G. They believe the answer lies in a community culture-change point of view that rejects patriarchy and traditional masculinity, which is why they partnered with Akinmowo.
"A lot of times, when it comes to street harassment, it feels like something personal," said Kat Noel, also from BMC. "[This is] an event where we can commune together, and talk about our collective experiences and the fact that there are black women writers that have written about street harassment, and written about patriarchy. [We wanted] to connect those dots, [to help] us all know that we're not alone in having these experiences, and that there's also places that offer potential solutions; [that there are] things that we can do in the moment that helps us take our power back."
"There's a lot of power in putting your story out there; when you speak it, it's true. There's something very therapeutic about it," said BMC member Ginger Skinner. And therein lies the connection between No Disrespect and the Free Black Women's Library: The black women authors that one encounters via the library are speaking their truths, telling their stories, and controlling their own narratives—things we aren't often celebrated for doing.
The themes are really meant to be conversation starters. Akinmowo told me about a conversation had during a past library that pondered whether or not it's possible to experience real, true, healthy love in a society that's patriarchal, racist, and violent. "That conversation was so deep, and so intense, and lasted for hours," she recalled. "And these are just strangers—these aren't even people who know each other!—coming together to share some of their most intimate thoughts and feelings with one another, and then, they go home." That fellowship, that feeling of entering a space that is utterly safe and unquestionably for you, well, that may be the library's greatest offering. Akinmowo recognizes that, too: "Part of the library's aim is just about black folks taking up space."
"We're gonna take up this space—with all of our books, and all of our bodies, and all of our minds, and all of our thoughts, and all of our music, all of our fashion and flyness, all of our melanin—we'll take over this space for the whole entire day, and you're just gonna have to deal." For Akinmowo and many others—myself included—at least some of the library's power rests in its ability to just let us be.
"If you're into it, that's cool," she said. "Come through, bring some good books. If you're not into it, just keep it moving. That's it. Black folks are just gonna gather, and fearlessly be like, 'We're here. And we're here to talk about the things that are relevant to us, and we're here to come up with strategies, and we're here to connect with each other, and we're here to solve problems, and we're here to honor our humanity and our creativity and our intelligence, and either get right, or get left."
If you want to get right with Akinmowo and the Free Black Women's Library, she has an October residency at Wendy's Subway in Bushwick, where the library will be open every Saturday from 12-5 PM.

Air India asks its employees who are on sabbatical to come back to duty
Air india, recruitment, Sabbatical
Air India, five years back, had offered its employees to go on sabbatical, meaning to be out of duty with out salary for higher studies etc., for five years as a method of reducing its salary expenses and austerity measure. The five years are now over, and the AI management has given orders that those on sabbatical has either to return back or quit.
It is reported that 213 employees had taken sabbatical at that time. Many have got other jobs, some have gone abroad etc.
The Air india has got 27,000 employees and about 1/4th of them are to retire within 3-4 years. Under these circumstances, if fresh recruitment is not taken in addition to those coming back from sabbatical, the proper functioning of the carrier will be adversely affected.
2 thoughts on "Air India asks its employees who are on sabbatical to come back to duty"
sai said:
BSNL should also implement sabbatical leave all of its employees sothat who are interested for better career growth can seek opportunities outside.
This is an issue which has to be discussed in detail. We have to see whether this has benefitted the Air India and its employees.

You're sat in the studio, staring at your screen. You're stuck for ideas and you're going slightly crazy. Sound familiar? It probably will if you're a graphic designer or print maker.
There is, however, a really good remedy to these moments that often gets ignored or brushed aside by many. Attending a great design event can be more than just something to do when you're bored; it can provide you with all sorts of valuable ideas and experiences, which can push you forward in your work. Here is a selection of some of the best print and design events in 2014 to consider attending this year.
Designival – branded as the largest design festival in the North of England – is returning in July this year as part of the International Business Festival in Liverpool. A two-day event, it boasts a varied itinerary, offering something for everyone no matter what their discipline.
Open Studio events are a popular feature, giving guests the opportunity to explore the studios of designers in the industry, view and discuss work and generally network with like-minded people. The biggest pulls, however, are the guest speakers and lecturers. Always of a high calibre, they talk about their work and careers and provide guests with a valuable insight into their world. Of course, there is always the obligatory social evening where you can eat, drink and have an informal chat with the industry experts. These are the golden occasions where you can get valuable advice that will likely stick with you for the rest of your own career, so listen up!
The Manchester Print Fair is a fairly new event that started in 2011. Its popularity has grown in the short time of its existence and increases each time it is held. Usually staging two fairs a year, it gives anybody and everybody the chance to showcase and sell their work at popular Manchester venues.
Designers from up and down the country including students, emerging artists and freelancers attend each event side by side creating a creative community and an exciting, relaxed atmosphere. It is also a very affordable event, making it accessible to all.
These events are valuable because, not only do you get exposure (and hopefully some money) for your work, but you also get to network with a wide range of other designers and obtain lots of inspiration for future projects.
The most attractive element to these awards is most definitely the ceremony which is held at the Ministry of Sound venue in London. Due to the 'no limits' nature of the competition, you end up seeing a lot of very amusing work, some of which will make your jaw drop. You can even plagiarise like mad, it's allowed! The ceremony also boasts free food, live entertainment and, of course, the chance to network.
The Typo talks are large-scale annual international design conferences that pull in visitors from all over the world. These events are very high-profile and tickets go fast, so get in early if you can. The reason for this is mainly the big names that attend. For example, previous speakers include industry giants Neville Brody, Erik Spiekermann and Chip Kidd. Speakers, who consist of journalists, scientists, professors and marketing experts as well as designers, give presentations on their work and talk at length about their careers and ideas based around the given theme of the event which is different each time.
Once again, this event is a chance to glean ideas and advice and to network with some of the most interesting people on the planet. Typo is held in several cities across the world including Berlin and San Francisco. London often plays host which is why it is mentioned here. Keep an eye out for the next event; you'll want to be there I can assure you.
The London Design Festival is another large-scale event held annually. It features over 300 events and exhibitions over nine days and attracts visitors and organisations from all over the globe.
Installations, restaurants, tours, workshops, seminars, open studios, trade shows and more await the visitors of this festival, making it one of the most important and exciting events in the design world. Held in venues spanning across the whole of London, there's a lot to explore and take in, but it is well worth it. The spectrum of design disciplines is incredibly broad, your eyes are opened to all sorts of artistic talent that you never knew existed and you get the benefit of so many people's advice and influence that you'll have a whole sketchbook of new ideas when you leave. If you don't, you spent too much time in the pub!
These design events, and so many of the others not mentioned here, are always worth your time. There is so much inspiration out there, and not just exclusively for artists and designers. Anyone can take away valuable experiences from events like these, so get out there and try a few, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Have you been to any of these graphic design events? Or any that haven't been mentioned above? Share your experiences – we'd love to hear about them.

Q: Prime conditional problem in modulo Any odd prime p can be written in the form of $x^2 + y^2$ when $p \equiv 1 \pmod{ 4}$. explain the proof.  Is there any such condition equations and satisfying the primes? if there, how to construct them? Also, is there any function, which will give a prime.

A: Regarding the proof: Here's an elementary argument. It can be modified to the following similar problems:

*

*$x^2 + 2y^2 =p \leftrightarrow p \equiv 1,3 \mod 8$ or $p=2$.

*$x^2+ 3y^2 = p \leftrightarrow p \equiv 1 \mod 3 $ or $p=3$.

Neccesity: Note that for any $x,y$, we have $x^2+y^2=0,1,2 \mod 4$, so for it to be a prime $p$ we need either $p=2$, or $p= 1 \mod 4$.
Sufficiencty: If $p=2$, $x=y=1$ will work. If $p \equiv 1 \mod 4$, then $t^2 + 1 = 0 \mod p$ is solvable, as it is equivalent to finding an element of order 4 in $(\mathbb{F}_{p})^{\times}$, which is a cyclic group of order $p-1$, i.e. divisible by $4$, so you can just take $t=g^{\frac{p-1}{4}}$ for any generator $g$.
By the pigeonhole principle, two of the elements $\{ ta-b \mod p| 0 \le a,b < \sqrt{p} \}$ are the same mod $p$, say: $ta-b=ta'-b' \mod p$, i.e.
$$t(a-a')=(b-b') \mod p$$
Square both sides of the last equation and move both terms to same side to get: $(b-b')^2 + (a-a')^2 \equiv 0 \mod p$. Note that $|a-a'|,|b-b'| < \sqrt {p}$, so $0< (b-b')^2 + (a-a')^2 < 2p$, implying:
$$(b-b')^2 + (a-a')^2 = p$$
Regarding more such conditions - I suggest the wonderful book "Primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$" by David A. Cox. Another related book is "Introduction to the Construction of Class Fields" by Harvey Cohn.
Regarding a prime-generating function: consult this Wikipedia page. There are many formulas, most of them impractical. But there's a system of Diophantine equations "defining" the primes, which is maybe what you're looking for.

A: This is a famous theorem of Fermat.

A: Here is (perhaps) a simplification of the proof by Euler given in the wikipedia link. If $p$ is a prime which is congruent to 1 (mod $4$), then $-1$ is a square in the field $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}.$ Hence there is an integer $x$ such that $p$ divides $x^{2}+1.$ We may replace $x$ by $-x$ if necessary, and suppose that $|x| \leq \frac{p-1}{2}.$ Then $x^{2}+1 \leq 1+ (\frac{p-1}{2})^{2} \leq \frac{p^{2}-p}{4}.$ If there is a prime congruent to 1 (mod $4$), which is not the sum of two squares, there is a smallest such prime, so suppose that that prime is $p.$ Choose integers $y$ and $z$ (not both zero) so that $y^{2}+z^{2} = mp$ where $m$ is an integer, but as small as possible. We know that $m \leq \frac{p-1}{4}.$ We claim that $m = 1.$  Note first that $y$ and $z$ are relatively prime.
For suppose that $h = {\rm gcd}(y,z) \neq 1.$ Now $|h| <p$ as $y^{2} + z^{2} <p^{2}.$ Since $h^{2} | mp,$ we have $m = h^{2}n$ for some integer $n.$ Then $np = (\frac{y}{h})^{2}+ (\frac{z}{h})^{2}$ contrary to the choice of $m.$
If $m = 2n$ for some integer $n$, then $y$ and $z$ are both odd, (they can't both be even), and we use the standard trick $np = (\frac{y-z}{2})^{2} + (\frac{y+z}{2})^{2},$ which dates to antiquity. But this contradicts the choice of $m,$ so $m$ is odd. Hence if $m >1,$ then $m$ is divisible by an odd prime $q < p.$ We have excluded the case that both $y$ and $z$ are divisible by $q,$ so neither is divisible by $q,$ since $y^{2}+z^{2}$ is divisible by $q.$ Both $y$ and $z$ have non-zero images in the field $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z},$ so $-1$ is a square in that field, ie $q \equiv 1$ (mod 4) as $4 | (q-1)$. By the minimal choice of $p,$  we know that $q$ is a sum of two integer squares, say $q = u^{2} +v^{2}.$ Now we can argue as Euler did that $\frac{m}{q}$ is a sum of two integer squares, and $\frac{m}{q}$ is still divisible by $p,$ contrary to the choice of $m.$

A: I do not know the prime function. It is my out of expectation. We can create your cited type problems. For example, primes can be written as primes $x^2$ + 2$y^2$ if and only if p = 1 or 3 (mod 8). Regarding your first question:
Let L = (1, 0, 1) and L has discriminant = -4. If (a, b, c) is reduced representative of some equivalence class with |b| < or = a < or = |c| => $b^2$ = 4(ac -1). Since |ac| > or = $b^2$, we should have ac -1 = 0. The only form of L is (1, 0, 1). Thus h (-4) = 1 and p can be expressible by (1, 0, 1) if and only if -4 = () (mod 4p). I hope you can do the necessary things to complete the solution of  $x^2$ + 2$y^2$ if and only if p = 1 or 3 (mod 8).
All the best!

This is puzzling. After all, technology is quite advanced: we can store documents on the cloud, link together networks of smart devices, or even use algorithms to gather and analyze massive reams of data. So why do healthcare facilities look like they're trapped in the 1990s?

Early voters break records in Montgomery County for midterm elections
Stephanie Ingersoll
Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle
Early voters broke records for midterm elections in Montgomery County this week, with more than double the early voters who turned out for the 2014 midterms, which included city mayor, governor and congressional races.
A total of 31,154 ballots were cast at the Montgomery County Elections Commission or by mail during the early voting period, which ended Thursday.
That's more than double the 14,070 cast in 2014.
It's far less than the 36,855 cast during the 2016 presidential election, which also included some city and state races, or the 34,493 cast in the 2012 presidential election. Presidential elections always have higher voter turnout.
A referendum on whether to consolidate city and county governments helped boost the race this year, along with strong interest in key state races.
"I think we had an incredible early voting turnout," Elections Administrator Elizabeth Black said Friday. "It was fantastic. We hope that momentum continues on Tuesday."
With early voting over, she wants those who still plan to vote to know that they will have to go to their assigned polling locations on Tuesday. They can't vote at the elections office in Pageant Lane on Nov. 6.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters must be registered and bring a valid Tennessee or federally issued ID card to cast a ballot.
While lines sometimes looked long at the elections office in Veterans Plaza during early voting, they flowed smoothly with minimal wait times for most.
Those wait times could be longer on election day, depending on turnout, various polling stations and when voters decide to go to the polls.
Black suggests voters get to their polling locations as early as they can.
"Anyone in line at 7 p.m. will be able to vote," she said.

Biografia
Esercitò per alcuni anni la professione di farmacista ad Amburgo, poi si dedicò alla studio della fisica, frequentando l'Università di Berlino che più volte poi lo chiamò, per chiara fama, a tenere lezioni di storia della fisica che furono pubblicate postume. Nel 1820 costruì il 'moltiplicatore', cioè uno strumento di misura elettromagnetica. Nominato nel 1823 osservatore meteorologico dell'Accademia delle Scienze di Berlino, nel 1824 diede vita ad una iniziativa editoriale scientifica, dal nome Annalen der Physik und Chemie, più nota come Poggendorff's Annalen. Nel 1863 pubblicò, in due volumi e con successive aggiunte, il Biographisch-literarisches Handwörterbuch zur Geschichte der exacten Naturwissenschaften (Dizionario bio-bibliografico delle scienze esatte).

Da lui prende nome la cosiddetta "illusione di Poggendorff". Il "metodo di Poggendorff" - che è conosciuto anche come "metodo del cannocchiale e scala" e che fu da lui elaborato nel 1826 - serve a misurare piccoli spostamenti di una bilancia, di un galvanometro e di altri strumenti, con l'aiuto di uno specchietto.

Project Semicolon: People are drawing semi-colons on their wrists as a message of hope
Alison LynchWednesday 1 Jul 2015 10:22 am
People are posting these pictures as a sign their story isn't over (Picture: Instagram)
No, semi-colon tattoos aren't just a new hipster trend. They're not a new way of celebrating grammatical correctness either.
There's a far more significant reason behind the open-ended punctuation marks being shared across social media.
People are choosing to draw semi-colons, or get them permanently tattooed, on their wrists and elsewhere as a message of hope – a sign that their story isn't finished – and to fight the stigma of mental health.
The trend was started by Project Semicolon, a movement 'dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction and self-injury.'
https://instagram.com/p/4eDjVgMsrW/?taken-by=dancingwiththeblackdog
The website explains: 'A semicolon represents a sentence the author could have ended, but chose not to. That author is you and the sentence is your life.'
Anyone can get involved. 'The semicolon project is for everyone who self-harms, is suicidal, depressed, has anxiety, is unhappy, going through a broken heart, or just lost a loved one. Draw a semicolon on your wrist,' the site says.
Amy Bleuel, who co-founded the project, told HuffPost that she did it to honour her father who she lost to suicide.
'I set out to inspire others so they can know they are not alone, that their story matters,' she said.
And she is inspiring people to share their own stories – and marks of hope – online.

The Snuts take aim at social media on lively new single 'Zuckerpunch'
The Snuts have taken aim at social media on their lively new single, 'Zuckerpunch' – you can listen to it below.
READ MORE: The Snuts: "Our debut album says there is a place for guitar music in 2021"
The band's new track is the second taste of new music since the release of their debut LP, 'W.L.', which topped the UK's Official Albums Chart in April last year, marking the first time in 14 years that a Scottish band scored a UK Number One album.
Produced by Detonate and Coffee, the introspective number – which follows November's 'Burn The Empire' – hears The Snuts examine the detrimental effects of social media on society and its psychological impact.
"Zuckerpunch's broken beat aesthetic reminisces the sampled-up, 8-track golden age of pre-internet music," frontman Jack Cochrane said of the track. "Lyrically, everything is derived from feelings of screen fatigue, social media burn out and an overwhelming sense of anxiety about the fast moving internet world that is becoming closer by the day a part of us.
He added: "It depicts hard hitting messages around the more impactful pitfalls of social media, the internet enmass and the protection of your identity and privacy."

This stunning ocean blue beaded and sequin dress will certainly impress. It has a low rounded neckline, capped sleeves and the way the sequins and beading have been placed gives great shape to the wearer. The dress has some stretch in it so it hangs nicely when worn. The outfit would be perfect to wear to a wedding either in the wedding party or as a guest, perfect also to wear to a cocktail party, function or the races.

Myanmar leader defends handling of crimes against Rohingya Muslims
Myanmar's leader has finally broken her silence only to defend how her government is dealing with the massive human rights violations committed against Rakhine-based Rohingya Muslims, which the UN says amount to ethnic cleansing. Aung San Suu Kyi fell short of singling out the military in the globally-condemned violence, which has triggered a massive exodus of Muslim refugees to Bangladesh.
On Tuesday, Suu Kyi addressed the nation for the first time since August 25, when a fresh upsurge in violence subjected the Rohingya in Muslim villages across the western state of Rakhine to mass killings, torture, rape and arson attacks and forced more than 417,000 to flee their homeland.
Suu Kyi has faced harsh international criticism amid several reports about systematic attacks by the Myanmar military and majority Buddhists against the persecuted Muslim community.
In her address, however, Suu Kyi claimed that most Muslim villages had not been affected by the violence, wondering about the reasons why the exodus to Bangladesh still continued, despite the fact that there had been no "clearance operations" since September 5.
She said her government intended to find out why people in almost 50 percent of Muslim villages that remained unaffected had preferred to stay, acknowledging in the process that half of Rohingya villages had been destroyed and burned to the ground in the ongoing bout of violence.
There have been "allegations and counter-allegations" that need to be investigated before taking any action, Suu Kyi said.
The leader of the Asian country's civilian government said Myanmar does not fear international scrutiny and is committed to finding a sustainable solution to the situation in Rakhine. Suu Kyi's silence has provoked immense international criticism in recent weeks, especially after dismissing reports of ethnic violence in Rakhine as "a huge iceberg of misinformation" meant to "promote the interests of the terrorists."
In her speech, Suu Kyi even refused to use the word Rohingya to refer to members of the minority group, naming them only once while making mention of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, a group that purportedly fights to defend the rights of the minority group. She claimed that peaceful conditions were disturbed only after armed groups had staged terrorist attacks on dozens of police outposts in August.
She claimed that Myanmar was ready to verify the national status of the Rohingya refugees who have fled violence in recent weeks. "We are prepared to start the verification process at any time," she suggested.
But the brutality against the Rohingyas has its roots in the very fact that Myanmar does not recognize them as citizens and has denied citizenship rights to 1.1 million members of the community for several decades, alleging they are Bengalis who have in the past migrated to the country from Bangladesh. The Rohingya were stripped of their citizenship in 1982 despite having lived in the country for generations.
Due to their status, the Rohingya are not free to travel and practice their religion, having little access to medical care, food or education.
The de facto leader further said she felt deeply for the suffering of "all the people caught up in the conflict."
"We condemn all human rights violations and unlawful violence. We are committed to the restoration of peace and stability and rule of law throughout the state," she added, without putting forth any concrete solutions to stop ethnic killings.
Amnesty: Suu Kyi 'burying head in sand'
Following the 30-minute rant, Amnesty International, which has been sharply criticizing Myanmar's recent conduct in Rakhine, was quick to respond, saying the Nobel laureate and her government are only "burying their heads in the sand" in the face of the violence.
"Refugees who have fled to Bangladesh cannot return to this appalling status quo," the rights group said, adding "at times her speech amounted to little more than a mix of untruths and victim blaming."
The government claims its attacks in Rakhine are a response to armed "terrorists," but reports and evidence presented by witnesses and international organizations tell a different story.
The latest evidence published by Amnesty International points to "a mass-scale scorched-earth campaign" across Rakhine State, where Myanmar's forces and vigilante mobs "are burning down entire Rohingya villages and shooting people at random as they try to flee. In legal terms, these are crimes against humanity – systematic attacks and forcible deportation of civilians."
The rights group further highlighted the "horrific situation" in Myanmar, criticizing the international community's failure to address the plight of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
The UN said last week that Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar are facing a risk of ethnic cleansing at the hands of military forces.
Human Rights Watch called for harsh sanctions and an arms embargo against the Myanmar military over its ethnic cleansing campaign against Muslims.
The government forces in Myanmar do not even spare the fleeing Rohingya refugees. Recent reports by Amnesty and Bangladeshi officials say the military plants landmines on the path of those trying to cross into Bangladesh, causing them to sustain serious wounds or lose their limbs.
Muslims being wiped off Myanmar's map
On Monday, a humanitarian group reported that Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim community is literally "being wiped off the map" amid the ongoing crackdown.
"For generations, Rohingya Muslims have called Myanmar home. Now, in what appears to be a systematic purge, they are, quite literally, being wiped off the map," said Chris Lewa, director of Arakan Project, AP reported.
In Bangladesh, where officials say the size and speed of the exodus is overwhelming, the new refugees are joining tens of thousands of previous refugees, hoarding into sprawling refugee camps, where there are shortages of all sorts.
"This is the worst crisis in Rohingya history," said Lewa.
"Security forces have been burning villages one by one, in a very systematic way," she said, adding, "And it's still ongoing."
Meanwhile, international opinion has hardened against Myanmar as the US, Britain, Australia and France renewed calls for Suu Kyi to push for an end to violence against Rohingya Muslims.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in a related development, said she spoke to US President Donald Trump on Monday about Rohingya refugees flooding into her country. However, she said expected no help from the US president.

Treasure beyond measure
Posted by Trinity Grammar School on Aug 26, 2017 6:00:00 AM
Theresa Ardler never imagined that her work with Sydney's Trinity Grammar School would lead to an emotional reconnection with her family's past and a return of treasure beyond measure with rich historical significance.
Ms Ardler is a Gweagal Aboriginal woman of the Eora region (her mother's country), who grew up and now lives in her father's country the Yuin nation, situated in the beautiful Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay. With a Bachelor of Education, Diploma in Child Science (TAFE), and current studies for a Master of Religious Education and a Master of Educational Leadership, Theresa's vision is to work towards educating school communities, teachers and students about the richness of Aboriginal culture and Spirituality within Australian society.
Teaching boys from Trinity Grammar School in Sydney at the School's Field Studies Centre in Woollamia near Huskisson in the NSW Shoalhaven region, allows Ms Ardler to share her Indigenous culture, knowledge and artistry. "I look for opportunities to work creatively and innovatively in cultural and school environments that can produce genuine and meaningful cultural dialogue," commented Theresa.
But it was a trip to Trinity's Summer Hill campus in Sydney that sparked a serendipitous reunion. In Sydney to help the School write a comprehensive unit on Aboriginal Art, Therese got speaking to Trinity Visual Arts Head of Department, Stephen Collins when they realised that their recent ancestors came from the same region in the Goulburn area of the Gundangara people.
Stephen's family had owned a property in the area from the 1920s to the early 2000s and while ploughing a paddock near an outcrop of large rocks which contained a small cave, Stephen's father unearthed what was mostly smaller rocks. To his surprise he discovered that some of these were in fact rocks sharpened into tools that were most likely used by Gandangara Aboriginal people.
Stephen has been the custodian of the treasures that his father had unearthed years ago. "I've had them for quite some time and have been trying to figure out what to do with them. I wasn't sure whether to give them to a museum, or the School's Archaeology Society for our students to enjoy, but neither of these options seemed right. Clearly the universe had a plan and as I got talking to Theresa and learned that the tools came from her ancestors' land, it was an obvious solution – I'd found the rightful owners and returning them was the right thing to do, considering Theresa's ancestors likely made and used them," said Stephen.
Theresa quickly identified that the artefacts were two scraping tools that fit neatly into the hand, and a large axe head similar to a tomahawk. "The tools are in very good condition and still very sharp," remarked Theresa.
A small ceremony was held in front of a class of Year 8 boys that Theresa had been teaching about Aboriginal Tools and Technology. Theresa made the Year 8 students aware that they were witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "This is a very special occasion and you will probably never see this happen again," she said.
Clearly moved by the gesture, Theresa wiped away tears as she continued: "This is a very emotional thing for me. To know my ancestors' tools have been returned to my family means a lot to me – it's like having a piece of my great grandfather back with the family."
Steve plans to visit the area where the tools were found to collect some local soil which he will give to Theresa. Theresa's family members will each be invited to touch the tools to connect with their ancestral past before they are placed in the soil from their original location. The family will then discuss with clan members and elders where and how the artefacts should be located and stored long-term.
"I'm just so happy that these treasures have found their rightful home," concluded Stephen.
Trinity's Field Studies Centre is located at the nexus of the Aboriginal Dharawal and Dhurga country in Woollamia in the Jervis Bay region of NSW. The local Aboriginal community regularly shares its local knowledge and culture with students staying at the Centre. The Field Studies Centre provides an ideal setting for Trinity boys to be nurtured and challenged, enabling them to develop soft skills (emotional, social, psychological, communication, empathy, self-concept) and hard skills (technical, safety, environmental), and encouraging growth in mind, body and spirit.

Most of Pickens County's early industry revolved around the marble industry. For decades, Georgia marble has been mined and used to create historic architecture around the world, including the Archives Building in Atlanta, the New York Stock Exchange, the Supreme Court, the Lincoln Memorial and the local Tate Elementary School. The marble is also used for tombstones for the United States Military at Arlington National Cemetery. Most of the marble is white, but there is also very rare pink marble. Jasper is one of the few places in the world where pink marble is found.

Pan-African Filmmaker Toyin Agbetu Celebrates 10th Anniversary of The Day He Challenged The Queen
Posted by Jennifer G. Robinson | 23 Mar, 2017 | Features, General Features |
Groundbreaking organisation Ligali resonates Pan African Human Rights at its core. Central to the organisation is the eloquent and charismatic Toyin Agbetu. It was founded out of the need for the rebuttal of the persistent derogatory media representations of Africans in the media. Through the championing and activism of Agbetu, Ligali came to bear the mantle of other challenges within African Caribbean communities. Ligali celebrates a 10th Anniversary and The British Blacklist catches up with its founder as celebration preparations gather pace.
Agbetu famously rebuked The Queen and former Prime Minister Tony Blair in Westminster Abbey (2007) as they 'celebrated' the achievements of William Wilberforce as an abolitionist of the slave trade. Often told in a singular narrative, this 'celebration' omitted to tell the significant contribution and resistance of Africans against their incarceration and their own fight to reclaim their right to live as free humans.
What motivated Agbetu in his very public challenge as he sat in the audience back then?
Although many people refer to my actions as a protest, I didn't see it as a challenge; more a refusal. I was in a space that was conducting a ritual disrespecting of our Ancestors and community and I chose to leave instead of staying seated allowing us to be disrespected.
What was the initial response to your protest?
Amazing, within days I had received hundreds, if not thousands of phone calls, emails and messages from well-wishers all over the world thanking me for what I did. Our system couldn't cope with the demand. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people felt the same way I did when watching the 'Wilberfest' on television screens. Of course, there were also those who threatened to kill me and racists who told me to 'go back to my own country', but thankfully they were in the minority. I think many of them were scared I was a crazy madman and would come for them.
Was your protest effective in any way?
Yes. My actions were effective in that they gave others the strength and confidence to stand up and say, 'no, not in our name.' It stopped the Wilberforce myth dead in its tracks and ensured that whenever a school, university, museum, TV program or film-maker documents this part of history, they (will) always refer to our agency as freedom fighters, resistors; as conscious, sentient human beings fighting for revolution.
Why have you decided to hold an event for Ligali's 10th anniversary?
Last year, there was another celebration for Wilberforce at Westminster Abbey attended by the government, church and British Royals. This time they kept it on the down-low. I think they were frightened if they invited us to attend in our 'woke' state things would have kicked off. Think about that. If a small coalition of Pan Africanists (Truth 2007) could derail their £20million propaganda agenda, what could we achieve when united? I'm hoping this anniversary encourages more of us to stay 'woke'. Our young people have tried fighting back with movements like Black Lives Matter, but they need all of us, from every generation fully conscious, doing whatever they can to secure a better future for us all. I hope reflecting on this history will help remind us that everyone of us can make a positive contribution to our shared struggle, no matter how small.
Director of the influential Beauty Is… Agebtu aligns himself as a Pan Africanist and a filmmaker. How do these two worlds collide?
Beautifully. Perhaps as a fan of Senegalese film director Ousmane Sembène (Black Girl, Xala, Moolaade) it is not surprising I feel this way. I'm also a musician, an author, a nerd, a father, and a scholar-activist engaged in post-doctoral research. None of these activities are incompatible with each other. I was recently fortunate to attend a Q&A with Raoul Peck after the screening of his excellent film, I Am Not Your Negro. When he was asked about what more he was doing as an activist, he explained that his films provided the catalyst for action. There was a duty for those who were moved after watching them to do something beyond send tweets and Facebook likes, I agree. Film allows me to talk to the world in a language that my academic writing cannot. It gives me a wider audience from which I can help inspire and hopefully create into more lifelong activists.
What are some of the biggest misconceptions about Pan Africanists and Pan Africanism?
That Pan Africanists, in refusing to let go of a desire for justice, continue to cling to an old fashioned romantic image of African co-operation. Apparently it's an impossible utopia our detractors claim that can never be as strong as the United States, the European Union or even the United Kingdom. Thankfully despite the hard work and slow pace of progress, history continues to prove those misconceptions wrong.
Tell us a bit about your background and influences?
Well I'm a Yoruba man from Ijebu-Ode in Nigeria. I was born in Britain and raised by a lone parent, my father, Ligali Agbetu. I'm a shy and private individual, and I like my family life separate from my community life. I'm a full on nerd. I love sci-fi, graphic novels, films, books, music, art and poetry. I used to be a terrible record producer in the 80's… err, this is starting to sound like an ad for a dating agency! Fela (Kuti), Oprah, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, James T Kirk (Star Trek) and Bruce Wayne (Batman) all had a major influence on shaping my persona as a young man. Since then I have been influenced by numerous writers, activist, freedom fighters and whilst not a western styled 'feminist', I am a full supporter of what some African women label 'womanism'. Oh… and although I can be a bit boring and really intense, I still delude myself into believing that I have a GSOH!
As mentioned, you make films, do you have any new film projects on the go?
I'm currently working on a film about love, relationships and loneliness as a follow up to my last feature, Beauty Is…We've got a brilliant cast and crew, it's looking really good.
From a Pan African perspective how does Brexit, potential Scottish independence and a US President Trump affect us? What steps can we take to ensure our protection?
These external political forces increase nationalist thinking, which in turn emboldens Afriphobia and racism. African people worldwide, especially those in the Diaspora living amongst hostile ethnic majority populations need to organise, to fund and provide independent education (including arts and culture), health, wealth and security services that can empower the vulnerable amongst us without government assistance. We need to be politically literate, and active within our communities, we need to be 'woke'.
What can we expect from your upcoming 10th Anniversary event?
Good vibes, time for Ancestral remembrance, a healing space for personal reflection and a passionate dose of reality from people sharing odes to resistance.
Ligali 10th Anniversary Event Being Woke: Remembrance, Reflection, Resistance takes place Monday 27th March at Westminster Abbey. Book your free tickets here.

It's a bridal kind of Wednesday afternoon here at My Lovely Wedding and we wanted to fawn over some pretty wedding dresses today. So we thought we would share some of the fabulous new designs that have just arrived at The Bridal Showroom in Dubai from two rather fancy and high profile designers.
First on the agenda is the latest collection from US based designer David Tutera who has taken "a simplistic and minimalist approach" in this new line. These are so so gorgeous and my personal favourite out of these two designers. These elegant designs feel super modern and with that little "je ne sais quoi" that sets them apart. I love how the classic and seemingly traditional silhouettes come alive with the intricate detail on them – this is definitely something I would look for myself.
Next up and slightly more dramatic is award winning Australian designer Sophia Tolli whose designs are super romantic and very "couture". While these aren't really my style I can definitely appreciate them and believe they make a lovely new addition to Bridal Showroom's rather extensive portfolio….
