Neil reclaimed the ability to belch after having Botox injections in his throat
A man who could not BURP for 34 years due to a condition so rare it has NO name has reclaimed the ability to belch after having Botox injections in his throat.
Neil Ribbens, 34, lost his ability to burp as a baby and was consequently left in agony after meals when the nameless condition stopped him releasing gas from his stomach.
But since having the experimental Botox injection, Neil has been burping "like a frog" and said the procedure is "the best thing that could have happened".
"I'm more confident, I'm healthier and I just feel all round so much happier," he told the Manchester Evening News .
Neil says he feels healthier, more confident and happier since the procedure
Neil spent £3,000 on the procedure which is not yet available on the NHS

Neil, who is a record label talent spotter, underwent the 40-minute procedure at the private BMI The Alexandra Hospital in Greater Manchester.
The experimental treatment has put an end to decades of discomfort which multiple doctors were unable to treat.
Not one recommended effective medicine to relieve his daily suffering and, according to Neil, one particular doctor even laughed in his face.
"After that, subsequent GPs would just prescribe me various over-the-counter drugs. There was no one who had heard of my condition," he said.
Eating a large meal or drinking alcohol or fizzy drinks was enough to prompt crippling stomach aches and violent hiccups.

Sometimes Neil's belly would bloat to more than twice its normal size and trigger strange gurgling sounds from the bottom of his throat which he described as "the strangest sound you've ever heard coming from a human body."
He added: "That was the end game and would put me on my back for a while. It would feel like I'd really been through the mill."
Neil explained that his inability to burp resulted in him having to release gas in less acceptable ways.
"I basically became very good at releasing gas 'downstairs'. It would build in the stomach and eventually all get released by, shall we say, 'letting go.' I would just have to do a huge fart," he said.
But his decades of discomfort finally came to an end when Neil discovered Mr Yakubu Karagama earlier this year, a doctor in Manchester who is pioneering the Botox treatment.
Botox is a relaxant, and while is most commonly associated with being used in plastic surgery procedures, it served just as well to loosen Neil's tense larynx.
Neil urged others who have the strange condition to consider undergoing the £3,000 private procedure which is not yet offered on the NHS.
"I don't know how many people have this condition - but they should have this procedure. It was worth every penny," he said.
"Words can't really describe how much better I feel now and, luckily, unlike cosmetic Botox, it won't have to be repeated at monthly intervals. The one operation should have cured my problem for good."
There might be one other person who is just as pleased that Neil's problem is finally cured - his 27-year-old girlfriend Pavla Machova.
Neil added: "She's definitely noted the difference in me and is pleased that I'm no longer filling the bedroom with vicious farts.
"It's the best thing that could have happened to me in all honesty - for my health and for my love life."

The following is a guest post submitted by Richard H. Jordan III.
If there's a cemetery tour happening in Rochester, you can be sure I'm there. For anyone interested in local history, there's no better place to find unusual stories and bits of trivia, and I'm fascinated by the history buried all around us.
Situated at the intersection of the Genesee River and Erie Canal, Rochester's geography has blessed—or cursed—us with a long long history of great floods. Before the construction of the Mount Morris Dam (1948-1952) records indicate the City of Rochester had experienced severe flooding about every seven years between 1865 and 1950. Talk about a pesky problem.
The following is a guest post submitted by Ryan Green.
This is the final part of my series on Rochester's plethora of trails! However, there are still many which I haven't covered. For a more complete list and description of trails in the region, check out Rochester Trails . If you haven't, check out the past segments we have covered: Downtown to Fairport , Lake Ontario , Brockport , and the Genesee Valley Greenway and Lehigh Valley Trail loop .
The fourth part of the Bike Rochester Series differs quite a bit from the previous ones. We will be venturing on old railroad rights of way (train tracks converted to trails via Rails to Trails Programs). The biggest difference here is that these trails are not paved; they are packed dirt/grass and crushed stone (similar to parts of the unpaved canal trail). So a road bike is not recommended, however a hybrid bike will be more than comfortable and safe. This is the perfect ride to do during the Fall!
Benjamin reminds us that we have a 96 foot tall waterfall… inside a canyon… in the middle of our city. High Falls has been here for millions of years. Yes it's evolving; but it's also been here longer than Kodak, Lilacs or Garbage Plates. Rochester began here. And as he correctly points out, this is a world-class site. Repeat it: A World. Class. Site.
The second part of The Biking in Rochester Series showcases the route from downtown to Lake Ontario, following the Genesee River Trail. It is 20 miles, roundtrip, from downtown to the end of the pier at Lake Ontario Beach Park and back. Actually, I'll take us a bit further and ride along the lake shore, east to Sea Breeze – adding another 8 miles to the trip.
This is the first in a series of photo tours aimed at encouraging people in the Rochester area—regardless of cycling ability—to get out and enjoy the plethora of trails we have. It is written as an introduction, although most people around here are probably already familiar with some of the trails. Disclaimer: I am not a local… and no where near a veteran cyclist!
Before we begin, I want to point out an advantage Rochester has over some of its upstate neighbors of similar size using Google maps… Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse/Central NY, Albany/Capital District. Granted, these maps are not 100% accurate. Nor are many of the paths paved. Still it helps give us an idea, in part, why Rochester was named the most bike friendly region in upstate New York (just barely making it on to the top 50 bike friendly cities in the USA ).
A couple of weeks ago photographer Clarke Conde shared some dirty photos of Rochester's riverfront on Facebook. Those photos made me sad. Dead trees, algae and trash had been collecting in this section of the river for over well over year. Smelly algae and logs are one thing. But add piles of plastic bottles, clothing, styrofoam, truck tires, other undesirables, and let stew for a year or more? To me, that's more than a cosmetic problem. If I'm from out of town, I'd probably think Rochesterians just don't give a hoot.
The City of Rochester recently put the finishing touches on some beautiful hardscaping and pathways connecting Mount Hope Avenue to the Genesee River Trail. Doesn't a stroll along the river on a warm summer evening sound divine?
A few months ago we interviewed the local artist known only as Spaceman. You've seen the iconic images on the streets of Rochester. Now you can own them (and contribute to two great causes). Proceeds gathered from the sale of these stickers, prints and t-shirts will go towards Spaceman's efforts to clean up waterways in the Genesee Valley; including the Genesee River and surrounding tributaries. Spaceman also requests that a portion of the proceeds go to RocSubway for the upkeep of the site. Thanks Spaceman!
But don't wait. Quantities are EXTREMELY limited so grab this stuff while it's here.
"The units at Erie Harbor are very poorly designed and overpriced… The ground floor units don't even have a view of the river – it is blocked by a berm… Shoddy construction… The stairs creak… Tacky… Ugliest building in Rochester…" These are all comments you may have heard about the Erie Harbor Apartments which were officially opened last fall .

Year 5 enjoyed their Medieval Day on Tuesday 21 October! They designed and made their own coat of arms, castles and drawbridges. Everyone's costumes looked fabulous and we spent the afternoon feasting and taking part in Medieval dancing!


Hello everyone. I got the exciting news that I was the Grand Prize Winner of WhisperWood Cottage 2011 1st project of the year party! The winning entry was my spackled candlestick project shown below.
One prep tool and paint brush kit from Purdy.
How great is this? Now, this is where I need your help. I would love a pretty soft white wall paint from Dutch Boy. Something with no yellow undertones and not a stark white. I haven't decided which rooms to paint yet but I am leaning toward the living room. This room gets lots of light from four windows.
I know many of you are paint experts so any help is appreciated. Even if you haven't used Dutch Boy, but have a white paint you love, please let me know. Maybe I can get a similar color.
Congrats on your win! How exciting. I'm sure you will get some great advice about white paint.
Nothing white here, but I am so happy for you!!! This is a great project and you made these look FANTASTIC!!!
Congrats to you Sherry!! Those candlesticks are great. As far as paint color, not sure. I have only painted the dining room an ivory and this paint looks so different in different lights. It is called swiss coffee by Behr and is very light with gray undertones, but my daughter says that is the color in her master bath and it is so brown looking in there with lack of light.
So excited for you! How great to win such a wonderful prize. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with all your new paint.
Congratulations Sherry on your fantastic winnings! I also love your candlestick creations.
As for selecting a wall color, I am no good at it! My walls are in Pratt and Lambert's manor white, which is a creamy white with yellow undertones.
I know there are a lot of bloggers who will send some suggestions your way.
How fun! Congratulations Sherry! Love that project.
Congratulations! I really liked your candlestick revamp.
Sorry, no ideas on the Dutch Boy though.
Oh, Sherry, I wish I could help! I've been trying to decide on the "perfect" white color for one of my guest rooms and I think I've narrowed it down to Sandy White by Benjamin Moore. Of course, I also like Natural Choice a Behr Ultra paint. I also like Antique White and Najavo White….so you see I'm no help! I think it's just a personal matter and you might have to get some sample pots and try painting several colors in your room to see what works for you.
I have no idea about the paint color – but i'm coming back here to see what colors are suggested. this big old house i moved into last summer has yellow tones to all the 'white' walls and i don't like it, either. then there is the dark green walls in the dining room…way too dark!
Congratulations! I don't have any advice on paint, but just wanted to say "well done!"
I`m here first time, but I`ll back. Your blog is creative, very interesting, just beautifull!!
Best Regards, have a very special week and Thank You!
P.S. This project is GREAT!
Congratulations on your win! These were my very favorite too….no advise on white paint, but I know what you choose will be perfect.
Congratulations on your win, Sherry! Love those candlesticks. Wish I could help you find a Dutch Boy paint color. 🙁 I use "Wedding Veil" by Ben Moore and Sherwins William's Zurich White (at 50%) but they might be too white for you. They are white white but not cold. On the chip, zurich white has a slight gray undertone compared to regular white but it isn't noticeable unless you put it beside bright white. In my voile curtains post & mantel post, the white paint is what's on the trim and fireplace. White is tough. Good luck, sweetie!
Congrats to you! Those were definitely winning candlesticks! I have no idea on the paint, I would suggest checking paint swatchs everywhere with all brands until you find what you like then have them match it! Congrats again on your fantastic prize!
Well…I am no help at all. I actually mixed a touch of black in my white paint…LOL….The kid at the paint store thought I was nuts. Congratulations on your win Sherry. Those candlesticks are fabulous.
Congratulations! Those candlesticks turned out great~you deserved to win!

By KRISTIN M. HALL
Updated 10/18/2017 12:30 PM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- When Jon Pardi was a kid growing up in Northern California, he was so obsessed with country music that when he was asked his name in preschool, he'd list off the genre's biggest stars.
"In preschool for the first couple of weeks, I would tell them my name was Randy Travis or Merle Haggard or George Strait," Pardi said during a recent interview at his 14-acre property outside of Nashville, Tennessee.
These days, Pardi doesn't have to pretend. The 32-year-old is nominated for new artist of the year at this year's Country Music Association Awards in November, as well as single of the year for his three-week country airplay No. 1 hit, "Dirt On My Boots." Pardi, who will be performing on the show, is up against Lauren Alaina, Luke Combs, Old Dominion and Brett Young in the new artist category.
While other country singers have been experimenting with hip-hop, R&B and electronic dance music, the tall, baby-faced singer from Dixon, California, has been doubling down on fiddles and steel guitar. Pardi grew up listening to the neo-traditionalists of the '90s, Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, and to hillbilly rocker Dwight Yoakam.
But it wasn't until he moved to Nashville when he recognized the influence of Haggard and Buck Owens and their Bakersfield sound on his own music.
"They were known for high-energy music with loud guitars," Pardi said. "I said, well that's pretty close."
Pardi met his producer, Bart Butler, after coming to Nashville in his early 20s to record a demo. Butler got a call from a friend who was watching Pardi sing at Legends, one of the downtown honky-tonks, and Pardi left the bar and went straight over to Butler's house at midnight to show him his songs. Butler was immediately impressed.
"He walks in the room and what you see is what you get," Butler said. "He's country. He's got twang for days."
Pardi has put out three albums since coming to Nashville, including two full-length albums and an EP, and he's taken the reigns in the studio as a co-producer where he and Butler cut the songs live. His 2016 album, "California Sunrise," was his first No. 1 country album and the first one where he's wearing a cowboy hat on the cover.
"(There were) a lot of arguments with management and the label about wearing a cowboy hat," said Pardi of his preferred headwear. "But the first picture they put out with a cowboy hat went all the way to No. 1, I am just sayin.'"
But his big breakthrough came when Pardi heard a demo for "Dirt On My Boots," written by Rhett Akins, Ashley Gorley and Jesse Frasure, who are nominated for CMA song of the year. The lyrics were about kicking off the dust of a hard day's work for a night on the town, which Pardi loved, but the demo "had robot voices and techno beats, and I was like, 'We're going to leave that out,'" he said.
Still Pardi found he couldn't completely strip the song of its modern tendencies. For instance, the chorus has a background vocal part, "Yeah, girl," which Pardi initially resisted.
"'Yeah, girl' is standard issue for country writing these days: 'Yeah, girl.' 'Come on, girl,'" Pardi said. "So I was trying to leave it out. But when I left it out, I missed it. So I had to put it back in."
He was named new male vocalist of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards this year and his single, "Head Over Boots," was just certified platinum, unique these days for a song based on a Texas dancehall shuffle beat.
Pardi prefers the higher tempo songs that are made to get feet stomping in arenas, where he has been opening for artists like Dierks Bentley. Pardi will be opening for Miranda Lambert in January after finishing up a headlining tour with CMT this fall.
"If you come out too soft as a traditionalist, it doesn't really cross over to big arenas," Pardi said. "I want to sell beer in arenas. Hashtag goals."

OVH at the OpenStack Summit in Berlin
Alain Fiocco (CTO) attended the OpenStack Summit in Berlin to showcase the OpenStack infrastructure deployed at OVH, and share the challenges our teams face every day running a large-scale global infrastructure.
OVH ♥ OpenStack
#WeAreOpenStack
#WeAre a Public Cloud provider, using OpenStack on a large scale
The OpenStack platform is becoming increasingly popular. It is currently one of the world's largest open-source projects both in terms of the volume of contributions, and its aim to provide a set of tools for deploying and operating cloud infrastructures. OVH started using OpenStack in 2012, two years after the technology was launched. As Europe's leading web hosting provider and number 3 worldwide, OVH is currently one of the highest-profile OpenStack technology users in the public cloud provider category. Our way of using it was uncommon at the time, since most users were using OpenStack for on-premises cloud infrastructures at the time.
#WeAre a member of the OpenStack Foundation
In 2014, OVH joined the OpenStack Foundation to share its experiences, particularly in facing the challenges associated with high availability, resource isolation and scalability — all of which are major concerns for the community.
#WeAre an infrastructure donor
In late 2015, OVH supported the project by providing cloud resources, which power a crucial tool for the community: its continuous integration system. A significant portion of the 30,000 jobs that this system launches every day to compile and test patches from thousands of contributors are performed in OVH datacentres, on OpenStack instances. This is a real showcase for the OVH Public Cloud, which is specially designed to meet high resource requirements "on demand". Find out more
#WeAre proud to announce
That we store 230 petabytes of physical data using Swift, as of July 2019
That we host 300,000 instances, as of July 2019
That we create 1,602,000 instances per month, as of July 2019
That we offer the Public Cloud Archive, the first cold-storage solution based on OpenStack
#WeAre in love with OpenStack!
2012 - OVH embraces a scalable storage solution in the form of Swift
In late 2011, OVH launched hubiC, a hugely successful online file storage solution. In its first year it had 130,000 users, storing more than 40 TB of data every week, which put a strain on the infrastructure and revealed the lack of scalability offered by the original solution. This is why OVH teams first became interested in OpenStack, and more specifically, in the project's dedicated storage solution — OpenStack Swift. hubiC is currently based on this technology, and now has no less than 800,000 users.
2014 - Compute. High-performance instances on demand
In 2013, OVH continued to explore the different aspects of the OpenStack project to meet its internal needs, and then build its first ever Public Cloud solution. In 2014, OVH began offering the very first on-demand instances within its 'Innovation Lab'. They were high-performance, flexible instances that could be managed within in the easy-to-use OVH Control Panel, the Horizon interface, or the OVH and OpenStack APIs.
2015 - Scaling. Exponential growth of the OpenStack infrastructure
OVH Public Cloud solutions stood out from the crowd due to their guarantee against the 'noisy neighbour' effect, thanks to dedicated resources, as well as simple, transparent billing, with no hidden costs. They were highly successful, which led our teams to work on expanding the underlying infrastructure and adapting certain aspects of OpenStack. For example, Neutron's north-south (client-to-server) traffic was deported to hypervisors, and OVH engineers worked on parallelising the Nova schedulers to meet the high demands caused by hundreds of instances being booted at the same time.
2016 - A focus on innovation
OVH teams focused on improving the OpenStack-based Public Cloud solutions. This work was centred around three main lines:
Integrating OpenStack into the OVH ecosystem
Adding new features like the vRack, which is used as a support for Neutron, extending private networks between datacentres around the world
Adding new software and hardware components that will generate even better performance for both the infrastructure and user instances
2017 - Upgrading the solution and the infrastructure
The OVH Public Cloud infrastructure expanded enormously, with new regions added on a regular basis and new datacentres opening. The catalogue was also updated with higher-performance local storage instances based on SSD disks, since users became increasingly aligned with the cloud philosophy. Meanwhile, R&D teams reviewed the process for upgrading the OpenStack infrastructures so that they could keep up with the community's latest versions and offer upstream patches.
And at the same time, OVH continued to expand its range of innovative technology by releasing the Public Cloud Archive: a cold-storage solution, based on Swift.
2018 - Adding intelligence to infrastructure and workload management
Infrastructure as-a-Service (IaaS) is not just a matter of IT resources and storage space. It is also a matter of mechanisms and automation. It involves being able to manage an infrastructure with intelligent tools, such as orchestration services like Heat, and workflow management in the form of Mistral.
There is also a new kind of intelligence in the cloud, based on the computing power of GPUs. At this stage, OVH began offering a new range of products, powered by NVIDIA® Tesla® V100 GPUs and based on the NVIDIA® GPU Cloud platform, to integrate the latest artificial intelligence frameworks.
Our vision of OpenStack and its integration
OVH makes OpenStack more accessible to everyone
User experience (UX) is one of the main focuses for the developers of the OVH Control Panel. Their goal is to make OpenStack instances and storage solutions easy to manage for users that are not familiar with cloud computing services.
OpenStack services will soon be integrated into the OVH vRack
One of the most interesting features offered by OVH is the ability to expand private networks between OpenStack instances based in different geographical regions. With the vRack, instances can be connected to one another privately across the Atlantic, with a latency of less than 80ms. The vRack can also be used to connect instances to other OVH services, which makes it even more useful. OVH Public Cloud solutions are often used by customers who have dedicated servers or on-premises infrastructures, but need additional power to avoid over-saturating the resources they already have.

The Speed Gun: How South Africa's Greatest Invention Changed Sports
By Neville Amimo on Wed, 12 Jan 2022 - 5:27 pm
Speed Radar Gun for Cricket
*Undated
SABLE Accelerator
With the renowned speed gun, Africa through South Africa truly inspired the sports innovation world.
The speed gun, made by a South African engineer, Henri Johnson, accurately measures the speed and angles of speeding objects such as cricket and tennis balls.
The Somerset West inventor used his knowledge in sonar and radar to develop this technology in 1992 and was formally launched at The Oval in England during the 1999 Cricket World Cup.
Originally known as the Speedball, the device has since been sold in cricketing countries and in the U.S. and Europe.
Essentially, the invention gives "fascinating insights into the flight paths of balls and the playing techniques of famous sportspeople."
Johnson developed an interest in engineering when he was a child and this compelled him to study the subject at the university.
His initial focus, as a professional engineer, was on projects using sonar, which were commissioned by the South African Navy.
He later developed radar technology that could measure the velocity and ballistics of projectiles in flight. This technology is now used by the military in more than 20 countries around the world.
Following years of experience in this field, Johnson realised that there was an opportunity to apply the technology in sports, thus, with the South African engineering company, Electronic Development House (EDH), in Stellenbosch, Johnson was able to cater to other industries needing the technology, including sports.
In 1992, he and EDH invented the "Speed Gun" and later improved his invention with the development of the EDH SpeedBall, which uses a Doppler radar system initially developed for the military, to measure the speed of a cricket ball in flight.
The device is placed at either end of a cricket ground and takes a reading every 1/1 000 of a second. It can measure the ball every few centimetres in its flight, with an accuracy of less than 1 percent of the actual speed. It computes the speed from the moment the ball leaves the bowler's hand to the moment it strikes the pitch (or bat), and again after it bounces. It compensates automatically for the various bowling angles and distances, and ignores stationary objects.
Johnson subsequently applied his technology to the tennis court and invented the world's first 3D tennis serve speed measuring device, the RaquetRadar, which measures the speed of a player's service.
He later turned to golf after a banter with colleagues about measurement and which information golfers truly desired and, in 2004, developed the world-famous FlightScope, a comprehensive 3D golf ball tracker, which has since been used by top golf instructors, equipment manufacturers and club fitters across the world.

Das Perșani-Gebirge (dt. auch Geisterwald, rum. Munții Perșani) ist ein kleines Gebirge westlich von Brașov in Rumänien. Es wird zu den Ostkarpaten gezählt. Sein höherer südlicher Abschnitt ist jedoch eigentlich ein Ausläufer der Südkarpaten.

Das Gebirge trennt das Siebenbürgische Becken im Westen von der Kronstädter Senke (Depresiunea Brașovului) im Osten, die im Wesentlichen dem historischen Burzenland entspricht.

Der rumänische Name leitet sich von der Ortschaft Perșani ab, der deutsche vom Dorf Apața (dt. Geist).

Der Hauptkamm verläuft in Nord-Süd-Richtung und hat eine Länge von ca. 60 km. Er wird im Engpass Defileul Racoș vom Olt durchbrochen. Höchster Gipfel ist der Vârful Cetății mit , im Nordteil der Vârful Dugău mit .

Begrenzt wird das Gebirge
 im Norden von Ausläufern des Harghita-Gebirges,
 im Nordwesten vom Fluss Homorodul Mic,
 im Westen vom Hochland Podișul Hârtibaciului,
 im Südwesten von den Ausläufern des Făgăraș-Gebirges,
 im Südosten vom Măgura-Codlei-Höhenzug und von der Burzenländer Senke,
 im Nordosten vom Baraolt-Gebirge.

Beschreibung
Das Perșani-Gebirge besteht vorwiegend aus Basalt, Schiefer und Flysch. Es ist überwiegend bewaldet. Zum großen Teil sind die Erhebungen abgerundet. Die Verschiedenartigkeit des Gesteins führte jedoch auch zur Entstehung interessanter Naturphänomene (Basaltformationen, Höhlen, Schluchten).

Tourismus
Das Gebirge ist touristisch kaum erschlossen. Es gibt nur wenige markierte Wanderwege und kaum Unterkünfte.

A river runs through Berkeley with the return of the Nile Project
The Nile Project's touring ensemble, with musicians from Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt, Burundi and Kenya, returns to UC Berkeley Saturday.
by Andrew Gilbert Feb. 16, 2017, 11:47 a.m. August 4, 2022
The Nile Project returns to UC Berkeley this week, including a Saturday performance at Zellerbach Hall
The Nile may be the world's longest river, and Berkeley would seem to be well beyond its banks. Except that the Nile Project, a pioneering trans-national organization, has extended the river's reach well into the East Bay, most conspicuously with the return of the Nile Project's musical collective to Zellerbach Hall 8 p.m. Saturday.
The touring ensemble features musicians who hail from Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt, Burundi, and Kenya, a band sifted from a larger collective of 35 musicians. While drawing on traditional songs and playing traditional instruments like the region-wide lute-like tanbour, the Ethiopian krar harp, the Egyptian kawala flute, and the Burundian ikembe thumb piano, the musicians create startling new arrangements via unprecedented cross cultural collaboration. The musicians also employ sundry percussion and stringed instruments, guitars, and voices, a sound captured on the new album Jinja.
The performance is just one ripple in a much larger wave of activity. It's not just that Ethiopian-born Berkeley based singer/songwriter Meklit co-founded the organization with Egyptian musicologist Mina Girgis. Saturday's concert is part of a larger Nile Project residency that includes Cal Performances' partnership with the BUSD, with every sixth-grade class attending a Friday matinee SchoolTime performance.
The Nile Project artists also host a Nile Gathering Reunion on Friday afternoon at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, a free program that includes a musical collaboration, water cooperation lecture demonstration, and a 6:30 p.m. vocal and percussion-based community music session.
"UC Berkeley has become our home campus after our collaboration in 2015," says Nile Project CEO and producer Mina Girgis, who gives a pre-performance talk before Saturday evening performance that's free to concert ticketholders. "The way the project started in San Francisco, it's like bringing back the Nile to the Bay Area. We're coming back and sharing what we've been doing on the road."
The epiphany that sparked the Nile Project actually took place in Oakland. Girgis and Meklit, a TED Global Fellow, were hanging out after a mind-blowing concert at Sweet's Ballroom in Oakland that paired the Ethiopian music and dance combo Fendika with the Debo Band, which draws much of its inspiration from Ethio-jazz legend Mulatu Astatke.
Afterwards, she and Girgis were struck by the fact that "we have to be in the diaspora to hear each other's music," Meklit says. "In the Bay Area we're neighbors and friends, but on the continent there's very little access to each other's music. He said, what if we bring musicians from the Nile together to make music?"
On hiatus from the Nile Project, Meklit nonetheless has taken insights gleaned from her East African travels with the collective and applied them to her guest artistic director stint with UnderCover Presents production A Tribute to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which happens to run this weekend at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (featuring Berkeley artists like Faye Carol, Kimiko Joy and Howard Wiley).
From the beginning Girgis and Meklit had their eye on the big picture, with music serving is a vehicle for creating larger conversations about the Nile Delta, a region beset by resource rivalry and conflict dating back to the colonial era, if not earlier. The project's mission is to create conditions on the ground fostering collaborations cultivating the sustainability of the shared ecosystem using music as a foundational force. Needless to say, history has not stood still since the launched the project.

Meklit spoke at and performed at Berkeleyside's Uncharted Berkeley Festival of Ideas in 2015. Learn more about the festival which takes place every October in Berkeley.
"It's been a tumultuous six years since the uprising in Egypt, which was part of the inspiration for this project," Girgis says. "Everyone is so daunted by uncertainties, and there's a protectionist instinct on so many levels. Governments are responding to fundamentalist Islam, and Trump just created this travel ban. It's a difficult time to be in the business of building bridges and developing platforms that bring people together."
The 2015 residency was part of the inaugural run of Cal Performances Berkeley RADICAL initiative (a name drawn from Research And Development Initiative In Creativity, Arts, Learning). Since then, the Nile Project has partnered with six universities in Egypt, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, and launched its inaugural class of Nile Fellows. The year-long leadership seeks to leverage the collective's influence by selecting 24 students from partner universities to establish Nile Project Clubs on their campuses.
Some of the most exciting developments take place as the musicians spent time with each other and exchange ideas. For Sudanese vocalist and percussionist Asia Madani, a resident of Cairo, the Nile Project has opened a door "to discover a lot beyond Sudan and Egyptian music," she says speaking in Arabic, with Girgis serving as translator. "I started meeting musicians from other countries and discovered that many Sudanese rhythms I play are actually played in other parts of Nile Basin. All these musical ideas are connected. And as we develop friendships it changes the perspective of people from that country."
The musicians arrived in the US in mid-January, and just made it under the wire. "If we had waited a week we wouldn't have all made it," Girgis says. "There's a sense of urgency, that we might not be able to come back and this residency might not happen again. In a way it makes us feel our work can not be any better timed."

Albany pianist Keith Saunders, a veteran New York player who moved to the East Bay about six years ago, kicks off the new Third Sunday jazz concert series presented by St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Albany.
Since landing in the Bay Area, he's worked extensively with guitar great Calvin Keys, first at the 57th Street Gallery and for the past few years every Monday at the Birdland Jazzista Social Club (which is closing at the end of February).
For his St. Albans concert, he's playing an opening trio set with Berkeley bass master Peter Barshay and Oakland drummer Ron Marabuto focusing on the music of Bud Powell.
For the second set, they'll be joined by Berkeley saxophonist Bob Kenmotsu, "doing songs I really like to play," Saunders says. "Hank Mobley's 'Work Out,' the ballad 'Blue Gardenia,' a calypso by saxophonist Ralph Lalama that Elvin Jones played 'Antigua,' mostly hard bop."

Heneidy's return ticket
Soha Hesham , Tuesday 28 Sep 2021
Soha Hesham saw the new Mohamed Heneidy vehicle
Al-Ens Wal Nems (Humans and the Mongoose)
Recently, there has been an inclination to rehash the well-known titles of older films to name new ones, often altering them just slightly to supposedly comic effect. The new Al-Baad La Yadhhab Lel Maazoun Maratein (Some People Don't Revisit the Marriage Officiant), for example, starring Karim Abdel-Aziz and Dina Al-Sherbeini, directed by Ahmed Al-Gendi, is named after the 1978 production Al-Baad Yadhhab Lel Maazoun Maratein (Some Visit the Marriage Officiant Twice), directed by Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, featuring Adel-Imam, Mervat Amin, Lebleba, Samir Ghanem and George Sidhom. Likewise comedian Mohamed Heneidy's latest. It is called Al-Ens Wal Nems (Humans and the Mongoose) – after Al-Ens Wal Jinn (Humans and Djinn, 1985), directed by Mohamed Radi and starring Adel Imam and Youssra.
Heneidy has not appeared on the silver screen since his 2017 Antaar Ibn Ibn Ibn Ibn Shaddad, directed by Sherif Ismail, and featuring Dorra, Lotfi Labib and Bassem Samra. The new film is written and directed by Sherif Arafa and stars Menna Shalabi, Amr Abdel-Geleil, Bayoumi Fouad, Sabrine and Sherif Al-Dessouki. It is the story of Tahseen (Heneidy) who lives with his mother and sister and he works as a horror house employee at the funfair. One day he has an accident that turns his life upside down when he meets Narmine (Menna Shalabi) and falls in love with her. He heads to her family to ask for her hand only to discover that she is in fact the daughter of a partisan djinn family. A mongoose portrait even escapes the canvas and chases Tahseen round the house. Headed by Narmine's mother Sabrine, the djinn are nonetheless keen on bringing a human in, so they do not reveal their true identity to Tahseen.
In this and other respects, mixing comedy and fantasy, the screenplay makes no sense, however, and the film ends up being a rather deflating experience.
Heneidy was part of a new wave of comedy in the late 1990s when his remarkable appearance in Ismailia Rayeh Gai (Return Ticket to Ismailia, 1997), was followed by the huge hit Saedi fil Gamaa Al-Amrekiya (An Upper Egyptian in the American University, 1998), directed by Said Hamed, and featuring Mona Zaki, Ahmed Al-Saqqa, Tarek Lotfi and Hani Ramzi. A whole new generation of stars, especially comedians, were breathing life into a scene that had been tired since the 1970s. The included Ahmed Al-Saqqa (action), Mona Zaki (drama), Ahmed Helmy, Mohamed Saad and the late Alaa Wali Al-Deen (comedy). One of the highlights of this time was Al-Nazer (The Principal), directed by Sherif Arafa, and featuring, along with Wali Al-Deen, Mohamed Saad in his debut (as Al-Lembi) and Ahmed Helmy, as well as Hisham Selim, Bassma and Hassan Hosni. It introduced the character of Al-Lembi, which Mohamed Saad later turned into a string of movies starting with Al-Lembi.
As an investment in the great success of Saedi fil Gamaa Al-Amrekiya, Heneidy collaborated again with filmmaker Said Hamed on Hammam fi Amsterdam (Hammam in Amsterdam, 1999), featuring Ahmed Al-Saqqa, Ahmed Eid, Tarek Abdel-Aziz, Monaliza and Rehab Al-Gamal. With Wali Al-Deen, he had appeared briefly opposite Imam in Bekheit wi Adila (Bekhiet and Adila, 1995), directed by Nader Galal and starring Sherine, Ahmed Rateb, Mustafa Metwalli and Youssef Dawoud. He played a tiny role as a taxi driver, but his distinct sense of humour and powerful performance drew attention.
After Hammam fi Amsterdam, Heneidy became a box-office star, delivering no end of films – Belia wi Demagho Al-Alia (High Belia, 2000), directed by Nader Galal, Gaana Al-Bayan Al-Talli (Breaking News, 2001), directed by Said Hamed, Askar fil Moaskar (Askar in the Camp, 2003), directed by Mohamed Yassin, Saheb Sahbo (A Loyal Friend, 2002), directed by Said Hamed, Ful Al-Sein Al-Azim (The Great Chinese Beans, 2004), directed by Sherif Arafa, Ya Ana Ya Khalti (Either Me or My Aunt, 2005), directed by Said Hamed, Wesh Egram (Born to be a Criminal, 2006), directed by Wael Ihsan – which, starting with Andalib Al-Dokki (The Nightingale of Dokki, 2007), directed by Wael Ihsan, began to go downhill or seem simply repetitive.
There have been Ramadan Mabrouk Aboul Alamain Hamouda (2008), directed by Wael Ihsan, Amir Al-Behar (Prince of the Sea, 2009), directed by Wael Ihsan, Youm Maloush Lazma (An Unnecessary Day, 2015), directed by Ahmed Al-Gendi, among others.
Heneidy also appeared as guest of honor in Hamed's film Racha Gariaa (A Generous Gesture, 2001), starring alongside Ashraf Abdel-Baki and Yasmine Abdel-Aziz. But at no previous time has his work felt less remarkable.

The Senate Shows It Cares About New Mothers, Assuming They're Senators
Lawmakers leaped into action to help Sen. Tammy Duckworth and her new baby. What about the millions of women still waiting for help?
By Emily Peck
After years of failing to do anything to help new mothers in this country, the U.S. Senate finally got it together to help one woman on Wednesday ― a fellow senator.
Legislators voted unanimously to allow infants on the Senate floor during votes. The measure was crafted for Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who recently had a baby, becoming the first senator to give birth while in office. Duckworth isn't officially taking a maternity leave, she said, because that would mean she'd be prohibited from voting during her time off. She wanted to figure out a way to be present for important work and still breastfeed. Her colleagues made it happen. There were some ridiculous grumblings, but many lawmakers appear quite proud of the new rule.
"Being a parent is a difficult job, and the Senate rules shouldn't make it any harder," said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), chairman of the Rules Committee.
It was a rare female-friendly move from a deliberative body dominated by men ― and it was hard not to delight in the sight of Duckworth bringing her newborn to the Senate floor on Thursday. After all, it wasn't long ago that the women of the Senate didn't even have a place to pee.
Still, forgive me for not wildly cheering.
While these senators snapped into action to solve a work-family issue for one of their peers, they've left millions of American families twisting in the wind for years. The United States is the only developed country that does not offer paid maternity leave to new mothers; we're one of only a handful of nations on the planet that offers new moms essentially bupkis.
It's cool that the Senate made something happen in this instance. Duckworth herself spoke of "leading by example." But the nation's women are still waiting for their turn.
"Great that the Senate has unanimously agreed to stop banning babies from the floor," said Ellen Bravo, the director of Family Values @ Work, a nonprofit coalition of groups pushing for paid parental and sick leave in the U.S. "Surely now a majority can agree to paid family and medical leave insurance for all working families, so no one has to face financial disaster for being a good caregiver."
Many high-income women can access paid leave through their jobs, but women at the lower end of the pay scale are less lucky. And the lack of leave is brutally punishing.
Far too many women must return to work quickly after giving birth, and the consequences are devastating. Women who go back to work too soon are more likely to experience depression, and less likely to breastfeed. Their babies can also suffer. Researchers have even found an inverse correlation between the amount of leave a woman takes and infant mortality rates.
Almost no one, of course, is letting women bring their infants to work with them. That's just not going to fly. Imagine your Starbucks barista snuggling an infant while she makes a latte. Not feasible.
Many of these new mothers are stuck running out to the car with a breast pump on their breaks, or giving up on breastfeeding altogether, running on far too little sleep and fumes of empathy from their equally overworked colleagues.
Some women can't go back to work quickly, since giving birth often comes with complications. And some lose their jobs simply because they've had a baby. Many workers do get job protection through the federal Family and Medical Leave Act ― the law that Congress begrudgingly passed 25 years ago that offers unpaid time off to new parents and caregivers. But the law doesn't cover all workers. This means many women, out of work, are forced onto public benefits simply because they've had a child.
Lack of leave doesn't just hurt individuals. The whole economy suffers because women are forced out of the labor market. It's no coincidence that the percentage of women who participate in the U.S. labor market is among the lowest of all democratic countries. Motherhood also helps drive the wage gap between men and women in this country.
It's not like the Senate lacks for ideas on how to fix this. There are a couple of bills floating around, from legislators on both sides of the aisle, that address the issue.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is looking at a proposal that would basically have new parents tap into Social Security money to float leave. It's a bad idea that would weaken the social safety net, according to a report released Wednesday from the Urban Institute. However, it is a flashing sign that even conservatives who deplore government spending want to do something. Even President Donald Trump ― hardly known for his feminist agenda ― has mentioned the need for paid leave twice in major speeches.
Yuri Gripas / Reuters
Senators laughing before a March 2017 news conference to introduce (again) the FAMILY Act.
On the Democratic side, most legislators are into the FAMILY Act, which Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) first proposed in 2013, and which would fund leave for new parents, as well as those who need to care for a sick relative or handle their own illness, through a small payroll tax.
Paid leave is not controversial. Most Americans want this. According to a Pew study from last year, 82 percent of Americans say mothers should receive paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child. Sixty-nine percent want leave for fathers, too.
Increasingly, states and cities are taking the lead on leave. California, New Jersey and Rhode Island have laws that look a lot like Gillibrand's FAMILY Act. My home state, New York, just started offering paid time off to new parents. And twice a month, the state takes a small amount out of our paychecks to make that happen ― about $1 a week, on average. The amount deducted depends on your income.
Hardly a punishing tax increase, particularly considering the Senate just gave most of the country a big tax cut.

How to drink Matcha Tea?
Drinking great matcha is not only one of life's great epicurean pleasures, but it also makes you feel like you've just had a yoga class!
By now most of us have heard about the healing powers of green tea, but one type in particular—matcha, a powdered green tea—is especially potent. In fact, 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of matcha is equal to 8 to 10 cups of regular tea in terms of its antioxidant power, which contributes to .
The powdered tea leaves are used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and whisked together with hot (not boiling) water, which means you are ingesting the tea leaves and getting significantly more nutritional benefits than you would with traditional brewed leaf teas. Among the most highly regarded matcha purveyors are and, which offer high quality teas at reasonable prices that can be enjoyed as is or used in a wide variety of recipes (because of its convenient powder form, matcha can be used in anything from salad dressing to ice cream). Another go-to site for those looking for reliable matcha is, which was started by author and chef Eric Gower. A true matcha connoisseur, he specializes in sourcing, custom blending and distributing the highest-quality matcha.
We spoke with Gower to find out about matcha's flavor profile, why we should all be drinking it and how to shop for the best tea.
theFashionSpot: How does matcha compare to traditional green tea in flavor?
Eric Gower: Matcha, when made properly, is much more robust than traditional green tea. The mouthfeel is completely different because we are consuming the tea leaves. Not steeping them creates a unique mouthfeel and rich, robust flavor absolutely full of umami (the fifth taste, along with sweet, salt, sour and bitter, is often translated from the Japanese as "savory" or "brothy"). It's a heady taste, almost meaty or miso-y in its brothiness, with strong notes of pureed baby vegetables. It's really more like a nutritious soup than a tea.
tFS: Are there differences in flavor between matchas and, if so, to what are they due?
EG: Yes, absolutely. The differences primarily come from a few key things: terroir (the conditions in which the tea is grown), harvesting techniques and final blending. Some lower-quality matcha is produced using many parts of the plant, including older leaves and even stems. The highest-quality matcha will always be new-growth only; only the two newest leaves/shoots are picked and de-stemmed. It's an extremely labor-intensive process, one that suits the obsessive qualities of traditional Japanese farmers quite well. Highest-quality matcha flavor is dominated by smoothness, some sweetness and a great deal of umami. There should be no bitterness at all. In my opinion, people can fool themselves by equating some degree of bitterness (often major bitterness) with quality matcha. Traditional tea schools in Japan are of no help here, as the tea often served in ceremonial environments is quite bitter and lower quality, which is one reason why one is given an artfully crafted sugar cube to take with the matcha, to sweeten the pill almost literally. You should be able to continue to taste heavenly matcha notes for a good 20 or even 30 seconds after swallowing it.
tFS: What are the nutritional benefits? And how often do you have to drink it to get them?
EG: Where to begin? The body of research on matcha and its medicinal uses in Japan is vast compared with elsewhere, but these health benefits are increasingly becoming better known here as well. Matcha is full of catechin polyphenols, compounds with high antioxidant activity that are many times higher than any of the current "superfoods" like acai berry, gojiberry, pomegranate, dark chocolate, etc. Research studies show that these compounds offer protection against many kinds of cancer. Matcha also helps to reduce bad cholesterol in the blood, prevent cardiovascular disease, stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce high blood pressure and, in general, strengthen the immune system. Because matcha is taken whole, it has lots of dietary fiber with only around 10 calories per serving.
tFS: What should people look for when deciding on which one to buy?
EG: It's hard to purchase matcha without actually looking at it, because the packaging typically used for matcha is sealed—it has to be air-tight and light-proof, otherwise degradation sets in rather quickly (the enemies of matcha are light, heat and air). Making matters worse, much of the packaging is typically in Japanese, rendering it unintelligible for most people. But even for folks who can read Japanese, info on the labels rarely help; the label may tell you where it was processed, the name of the company and some basic nutritional information if you're lucky. So, what to do? There really is no option except to buy from a trusted source, someone who has demonstrated very good knowledge of matcha. Price is almost always an indicator of quality, because great matcha is inherently on the expensive side (at least compared with other teas) due to the labor-intensive nature of the process. There are no shortcuts to producing great matcha, and there is certainly no "bargain" matcha on the market; you definitely get what you pay for. That said, there is no point in using an expensive, rare matcha to cook with or use in a smoothie. The heat and the addition of fats and sugars will more or less obviate all the special qualities of the more expensive matcha. So if you're planning on making lattes, smoothies, cakes, etc., you should avoid the rarer matcha and purchase a vastly less-expensive culinary matcha, which will be better suited to the purpose and way easier on the wallet.

I feel if youf dog has been a great companion she deserves no less than that type of treatment from you!
I've put down a couple of beloved old dogs and executed one real bad one with a .22 rifle. If I have to make the decision again and I'm sure I will with all the dogs we have, I'll take 'em to the doc and have him "put them to sleep". Wouldn't bother me, though, to "execute" another one if he's as bad as that last one was.

Home/Sports/champions-league/Man Utd urged to break the bank for Tottenham star with Ten Hag told why transfer could help them win Champions League
Man Utd urged to break the bank for Tottenham star with Ten Hag told why transfer could help them win Champions League
Manchester United have been told they should do everything in their power to sign a world-class Tottenham star who one expert believes can lift the club to the same level as Manchester City.
United manager Erik ten Hag is carefully planning the next phase of his rebuild with the January window open. United have come out of the target very quickly and brought in the former English goalkeeper Jack Butland from Crystal Palace.
But with funds likely to be tight after a huge £216m summer bash, Ten Hag will likely have to spend its money carefully.
In the wake of six straight wins, hopes are growing that United can enjoy a successful campaign. And with growing belief that a return to the Champions League could be on the cards, their financial resources will also improve.
Apart from that, Roy Keane insists he is yet to be convinced by Ten Hagwith the Irishman also going all out for one United star following a high-profile blunder.
To take United to the next level, Ten Hag has made clear his desire to strengthen his attack. And after the bitter departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Red Devils are one man light in their attack.
As a result, a number of high profile names are being linked, from Joao Felix, Marcus Thuram to Yousouffa Moukoko.
That said, Ten Hag may have to look at either a loan extension or even the bargain basement of cash, as things are likely to be tight now. For that purpose, Saturday's Transfer Gossip claims a Louis van Gaal flop is targeting a return to Old Trafford.
Further down the line, though, Paul Merson insists the United hierarchy should target a deal for Harry Kane.
Man Utd urged to move for Harry Kane
The England captain's deal at Tottenham expires in the summer of 2024, leaving Spurs in something of a battle over his future.
And while they are desperate to tie him down to a new deal, they could be forced to sell him if a deal is not agreed in the summer.
Demand for the 29-year-old is likely to be high, with Bayern Munich among his suitors. And while Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could demand upwards of £100m, Merson reckons his signature could transform United into challengers for Manchester City.
And in an excavation at TottenhamMerson claims Kane has no chance of ever winning anything with the Lilywhites.
"In an age where clubs spend money for fun and world-class centre-forwards are a rarity, I'd think it crazy if Manchester United didn't break the bank for Harry Kane," Merson wrote in his column for Daily Star.
"You can look around the world, rack your brains and gather all the scouts in your network and the answer is right in front of you. There is nobody who comes close to Kane who is available at the moment.
"If United ever want to catch Manchester City they have to go and sign Kane. Everyone wants a striker and is looking far and wide but the best centre-forward stares everyone in the face.
"He plays for a team in Tottenham that is going to win absolutely nothing. Surely, sooner or later his head will be turned by a move again.
"I don't know what I'm missing here. Even if he costs £150m and it's a four- or five-year contract, you're buying over 100 goals. Who else is going to give it to you?"
Kane on par with Haaland
Merson reckons that with all the hype this season surrounding Erling Haaland, Kane can deliver a similar goalscoring return for Man Utd.
"Everyone talks about Erling Haaland, but for me Kane could deliver similar numbers in that Manchester City team and even add more assists.
"Even if he couldn't match Haaland, he wouldn't be far away. They create so many chances. If he signed for United and they finished in the top four this season, I would expect them to start winning things."
Merson also believes the signing of Kane could prove to be the best signing Man Utd could ever make. And he reckons his presence in a United shirt can transform the club into Champions League glory.
It's a trophy they last won in 2008. But he reckons the long wait could end if Kane signs on the dotted line.
"Call me silly, but Kane would even give United a chance of winning the Champions League in my opinion. He's a machine. Tottenham are only where they are because of Harry Kane, it's that simple really. He's the difference. "

With the arrival of numerous home improvement stores scattered across the country—and a plethora of Do it yourself (DIY) programs on TV and videos on popular social sites such as YouTube and Daily Motion, homeowners are finding out that fixing things in their house was never easier than it is now. Thanks to these self-help videos and stores, you can easily fix things in your house which previously required professional assistance.
And, thanks to ever-advancing consumer tech, installations of gadgets and certain other things running on electricity that once invariably required professional assistance can now be done with nothing more than few simple home tools like screwdrivers and pliers. One such important project is home security which keeps your home safe from intruders or any inadvertent mishaps. Available in both wired and wireless varieties, these surveillance cameras go a long way in providing you with the much needed peace of mind stemming from the fact that activities in and around your house is constantly being monitored.
Wired cameras offer better security as it is extremely complicated to hack them from a remote location, though their installation is much more complex as completely wiring your home with motion detectors, alarms and keypads is for all intents and purposes a job you will find yourself ill-equipped to handle. However, the introduction of plug and play outdoor security cameras means you can rev up your home or office safety without breaking into a sweat or waiting for technicians to show up at your door. These affordable and easy to install affordable "plug-and- play" consumer-based security camera solutions that have hit the market in recent times has been steadily climbing the popularity charts when it comes to surveillance cameras.
The fact of the matter is that these types of cameras offer three very distinct advantages that wired security often fail to emulate. First and foremost they are affordable meaning you do not have to burn a hole in your pocket enhancing the safety of your home, office or other property. Second important feature of plug and play cameras are that they are extremely easy to install. Last but certainly not the least, they are also much easier to use and people can use them without possessing expert knowledge about functioning and usage of security cameras.
These types of digital video cameras, called Internet Protocol (IP) cameras make use of computer networking for transmitting video footages that they have captured. Good thing is that you can connect them to Web as well for remote control as well as viewing.
These cameras record videos in their memory or flash drives that are provided with them. Some reputable manufacturers have also started offering cloud computing features meaning that you can store your data on cloud and access them with requisite authorization anytime and anywhere that you want provided you have an internet connection. Also, these cameras vary greatly in features and level of sophistication.
Sophisticated IP cameras are generally used by corporates and government agencies for better security; less sophisticated home version on the other hand is available to be used at home.
IP cameras are not new to the market, though earlier they used to be complicated devices requiring advanced networking knowledge for installation and use. Nowadays wireless cameras are available that curtails installation time to a significant extent.
