While Somatic Systems Institute's Western Massachusetts location may at first seem nestled away in its own corner of the world, student life is enriched by the school's location in this area: The Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, the Connecticut River valley called "The Valley" by local residents, is home to everything from a large amusement park to the homestead of a beloved poet and all within 5 minutes to an hour's drive from campus. Big city life is not too far, either, as we are fairly close to both Boston and New York.
There are several wonderful institutions of higher learning in the Valley offering an array of lectures, concerts and presentations on any given day. Smith College is in Northampton, the gates of its beautiful and resource-filled campus just a few hundred feet from Somatic Systems Institute. Amherst College, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts are also all in nearby Amherst. Mt. Holyoke College is in South Hadley. Together these schools form the Five College Consortium. Most 5-College facilities are available to all 5-College students including libraries, computer labs and dining halls and are only a (free) bus ride away.
Outside of classes, students frequent Northampton and Amherst on a daily basis. Downtown Northampton, dubbed Paradise City for more than 100 years, has been voted the country's number one small arts town. In a small stretch of pedestrian avenues, one will find several cosmopolitan movie houses, big-city-grade music venues and concert halls, an density of unique artisan shops and boutiques, a metropolitan-class art museum, and shopping of all kinds. Restaurants are a specialty in the Valley, with Northampton offering every genre of food you could imagine, from burger and pizza joints to Moroccan and Tibetan cuisine. The scale is just as diverse, with anyone of any dress code being able to chose from a sports bar to high-end dining. The Northampton experience is somewhat like 5 blocks of New York city being set down in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside in all of New England. All of this is literally right outside Somatic Systems Institute's door, which opens right on to a bustling side street to Main Street, in the heart of downtown. Students seem to enjoy this experience during their breaks and evenings almost as much as the training experience itself, and quickly come to long for Northampton as their campus and second home.
Amherst's town center is a slightly smaller and slightly more bucolic version of the same experience, just 7 miles away, and easily accessible by bus or bike trail as well as car. Downtown Amherst offers a range of activities, and is home to the Emily Dickinson homestead as well as a number of restaurants, boutiques and specialty stores.
If looking to get away from Amherst and Northampton, there are a number of places that are a short drive from campus. Holyoke and Springfield, to our south, are our nearest urban cities. Just north of Holyoke is the Holyoke Mall and nearby shopping complexes. Springfield, has a number of theaters, museums, was the home of Dr. Seuss, and is home of the Basketball Hall of Fame (as the sport was invented here). Six Flags New England is also very near Springfield in Agawam.
If looking to go somewhere more serene, there are a number of campgrounds to our northwest and also a number of small mountains for hiking and biking, some even within walking distance of campus. Really, most of the Valley is one big scenic walking trail. The Connecticut River runs through the center of the Valley and provides a perfect atmosphere for kayaking and canoeing.
For additional nearby nature and culture, just to the west of the Pioneer Valley is the Berkshire Mountains region of Western Massachusetts (in fact, the Berkshire foothills begin just 15 minutes outside Northampton center). Summer is the best time to take advantage of this area famous for premiere concerts, dance, and theater nestled in a posh country resort area. Tanglewood and other famous Berkshire cultural centers are only an hour or less picturesque drive away.
For the traveler, both Boston and New York are a few hours away, accessible by bus from the 5-College area and train from Springfield. Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, CT is only 45 minutes away and Logan International Airport in Boston is 2 hours away.
For those of you looking for all the other logistical conveniences, within a 15-minute drive one can find several shopping centers that include most of the biggest stores anyone might need in a pinch — including major supermarkets like Stop & Shop, Target, Wal-Mart, Staples, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and more. Local shopping is just as convenient, with downtown offering several full-featured local markets, natural food stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores.


'Azhar' is an Anthony D'Souza directed film which revolves around Mohammed Azharuddin, who led the Indian cricket team for most of the 1990s. He was implicated in a match-fixing scandal in 2000, and banned for life. But later in 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court lifted the ban.

Cash flow is just as important to an individual or a household as it is to a business. With a positive cash flow, financial goals will be in sight, even if they are years in they future. But with a negative cash flow, those goals will recede into the distance. That's why a comprehensive financial plan from Ivy League Financial Advisors incorporates cash flow and balance sheet analysis at the start of the engagement.
We begin with a Data Collection Form that is completed by every new client. The information compiled on the form is compared to original documentation to ensure accuracy and completeness. With information in-hand, we develop a detailed look at a client's income and expenses. With this exact picture of where a client stands financially, we build a projection of income and expenses that's based on solid information, not on guesswork.
Our balance sheet summary emerges from the same data collection and analysis process. The balance sheet (also known as "net worth" statement) shows the assets that a person or household have today to help fund their future goals. As with cash flow, we provide a detailed projection of the balance sheet, which is supplemented by a more general look further down the road at a client's financial condition.
Among the key questions that will be answered through looking at a cash flow summary, and balance sheet analysis are:
What is my monthly cash flow?
How much am I worth—both in net assets and in "investable" assets?
Do I have an adequate emergency fund for unexpected expenses?
Do I have too much debt? How can I reduce it and manage it more effectively?
Am I budgeting my money properly each month? Where can changes be made?
What are the key elements of my credit score and credit report?

A. As regards your son's friend and his bride-to-be, I am assuming that at least one of them is a Catholic. If not, of course, there is no problem with your attending their wedding. Non-Catholics, it stands to reason, have no obligation to marry with the Catholic Church's approval. But if at least one of them is a Catholic, then some other considerations enter in.
Presumptively, their civil ceremony would not be a valid marriage in the eyes of the church — since they are not being married by a Catholic priest or deacon or, in the alternative, with the required dispensation from the church. But — perhaps surprisingly — canon law has no explicit prohibition against Catholics attending an invalid wedding. That decision is left to the prudent judgment of a Catholic, after prayerfully considering several factors.
Maintaining peaceful relationships within a family is important. Also, it is certainly better for the couple in question to solidify their commitment with a civil ceremony than simply to continue living together — and this might even be the first step in their full return to fidelity to Catholic practice.
On the other hand, one must not give the impression that the canonical norms of marriage do not matter, so you wouldn't want your presence at the wedding to be seen as a stamp of approval by the Catholic Church.
Weighing these several values, here is a course of action that I might suggest. Why not explain to your son that, after thinking and praying about it, you have decided to attend the ceremony out of loyalty both to him and to his friend? But tell him that you do have some reservations about doing so because of your strong belief that they should be married in a Catholic ceremony.
Then, ask your son if he would feel comfortable passing on your feelings to his friend. The ideal outcome would be that the friend, upon reflection, would be reminded of his religious responsibilities and decide to have the marriage blessed by the church.
A. Although we do not know with certainty at what age Jesus died, it is generally believed that he was 33. The Gospel of Luke says, "When Jesus began his ministry he was about 30 years of age" (3:23). And John's Gospel notes that there were three annual feasts of the Passover during the course of Christ's public life — one in Chapter 2:13 (the cleansing of the Temple), another in 6:4 (the multiplication of the loaves) and a final one in 11:55-57 at the time of the crucifixion.
Putting those references together, one is led to the conclusion that Jesus was probably 33 at the time of his death. The actual age, though, does not matter theologically, as no doctrinal truths are built upon it.

Certainly one of quite possibly the most typical electrical wiring queries is on how to wire a switch. Though working with switches in the home is sort of quick, wiring one might not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will find different kinds of switches, but for this example, let us say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely popular switch (as well as easiest).
You will discover three hues of wires inside of a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them about the terminal screws - one particular on leading plus the other around the base screw of your switch. The white wire serves being a supply of uninterrupted electricity and is also usually linked to a light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of your respective change.
These measures would usually be ample to produce an average change operate with out a difficulty. Then again, when you are certainly not assured which you can execute the job thoroughly and safely you better enable the professionals do it alternatively. Soon after all, there is a rationale why this endeavor is without doubt one of the most typical electrical wiring concerns questioned by many people.
For a few reason, ways to wire a ceiling fan can also be certainly one of one of the most frequent electrical wiring questions. To simplify this activity, you need to use just one swap for any single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is really merely a matter of connecting the black wire of your ceiling fan towards the black wire with the swap. When there is a light, the blue wire really should be connected to the black wire in the swap at the same time.
You will discover motives why these are generally one of the most typically requested electrical wiring concerns. One particular, numerous feel it is simple to accomplish, and two, these are definitely the common electrical responsibilities at your home. But then you certainly should not place your security in danger in your aim to save money. The stakes could even be substantially bigger if you attempt to cut costs and do an electrical wiring position without having enough understanding or expertise.

July 10, 2012 in "iPhone", "travel"
4324.5 miles later and... we are home at last! It was our best adventure since visiting Tanzania in 2008. We set off, due north, for the Canadian Rockies on June 20th and returned home in a sweaty filth on July 8th. We left the US for the Trans-Canada Hwy-1 and pointed the Jeep to the west. Sixteen nights in a pop-up with the dog, this was a safari to remember. Saskatchewan - Alberta - British Columbia... Canada has lots of beauty. With 12 full days in the Canadian Rockies, we saw more bears than I can recall and were surprised by the appearance of an aging timber wolf looking for a meal.
As should be expected with adventure travel, this trip was not without its dramas. A blow-out after crossing back to the US from B.C., left us a bit deflated (ok - this pun was intended). The minor explosion destroyed our fender and resulted in non-trivial electrical issues. With no cell coverage we would have been S.O.L. if it weren't for some very kind people. A retired mechanic, weathered from years of Montana winters, changed our tire and Steve the "Repair Guy," found a campsite and arranged for his buddy Vern "the mobile, mobile-repair-man," to patch the rig for the ride home.
With two grueling days of travel from B.C. to MN, we're home and I'm excited to review the nearly 60GB of images we made. Until I do some edits and get some rest, attached is an iPhone "trip-tic" for Road Trip 2012.
Hope you get to hit the road and do some photography too!

Why Not Start Addiction Treatment Right In The ER?
By Scott Hensley
A drug to ease withdrawal given in the emergency room could improve the odds a patient will get started in addiction treatment.
When patients brought to the ER have uncontrolled blood pressure, neglected asthma or diabetes that hasn't been dealt with, doctors often start treatment right then and there.
But what happens when the patient turns out to be addicted to opioids, such as oxycodone or heroin? In case of an overdose, the medical team can take action to rescue the patient. The underlying addiction is something else, though.
Like asthma or diabetes, opioid addiction is a chronic condition. Could starting treatment for addiction in the ER get someone on right road faster? Doctors at Yale University thought it was possible. "You can normalize this chronic disease like any other chronic disease," says Dr. Gail D'Onofrio, chief of emergency medicine at Yale's med school.
She and her colleagues at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut tested whether prescribing medicine to ease withdrawal symptoms in combination with a brief counseling intervention and a focused referral for help would improve the chances a person would get into addiction treatment.
It worked pretty well, according to results of a study published Tuesday in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association.
More than three-quarters of the people in a group that received the medicine (buprenorphine plus naloxone), a counseling intervention lasting about 10 minutes and referral to treatment were in treatment 30 days later.
By comparison, 37 percent of people who received only a referral were in treatment after 30 days. People who received the brief counseling intervention and a referral were in between — 45 percent were in treatment at the 30-day mark. All told, 329 people who were screened for opioids were randomly divided among the three groups.
The findings suggest that giving patients buprenorphine at the time they are seen in the ER and referred for addiction treatment can make a difference. "I'm still talking to them about their motivation to start treatment, but I'm also giving them something to help them with their withdrawal," D'Onofrio says.
Buprenorphine is approved for office-based treatment for addiction. But doctors who prescribe the drug that way have to be trained in its use, can only treat a limited number of patients and have to register with the government. There is an exception to the requirements that allows doctors to give buprenorphine to patients in acute withdrawal while arranging for drug treatment.
The Yale study was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Reckitt-Benckiser supplied buprenorphine through NIDA. Neither organization had any control or influence over the study, the researchers said.
How effective this approach might be in other ERs isn't known. The JAMA study was performed at one hospital. Also, the buprenorphine and counseling were free to patients. The Yale team is looking separately at the cost-effectiveness of the approach.

Pharmacist Jim Pearce filled a prescription for Suboxone, a brand-name version of buprenorphine and naloxone, at Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program in early 2013.
Still, the results are encouraging. "I think what they did was great," says Dr. Charmian Sittambalam, a geriatrics fellow at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, of the Yale study. "It's not often that you see the [emergency department] taking such a vested interest in something that's a chronic issue."
When Sittambalam was a resident at Medstar Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, she and two colleagues looked at starting buprenorphine for heroin addicts during hospitalization and then continuing it as an outpatient alternative to methadone.
Their study, published last April, suggested that medication started in the hospital could help addicts, but that counseling and personalized treatment plans were important in achieving the best results.
"This is not something that can be quickly dealt with," she says. Most people in Sittambalam's study were interested in getting treatment. "The problem was that they couldn't find the help they needed," she says.

IF this was changed for a reason.. they thought that people wanted it THIS way..
At least give us the OPTION then.. to have it go automatically, or not.
In the settings, make spot where you can change the default timeout action for it.
Unfortunately in my opinion Rogers has gone and taken a previously very easy, viable and smooth functioning system and turned it into a monster!
Another issue I have is that previously all of the recordings of one series, e.g. NCIS, were grouped together irrespective of the number of recordings and/or dates. Now for some inexpicable reason I have 4 or 5 different "folders' which do not clearly show the dates recorded and sequence of the recordings.
There are numerous other time consuming and slow issues which never existed before.
A real nightmare and is making me seiously considering cancelling my Rogers account and moving elsewhere.
That's a big IF! There are many instances with Navigatr that would indicate little or no thought, or discussion, or testing, went into many of the options/menus in the new firmware.
For the you seeing multiple for the one show..
I beleive i figured out WHY it does it.
My opinion it SHOULDNT.. and should be FIXED.
A single recording set, regardless that you have the channel set for the series, etc.
These all make it break down into multiple folders.
To even make this semi usable, needs to make them all group together, as they were before.
Just make sure each recording, each schedule, etc inside the folder shows the specific channel, etc on the listing there.
I have found that functionality is missing is this "forced" Navigatr upgrade. I am all for making the experience better for the customer, but NOT at the expense of functionality. The new changes may look "pretty" to someone else, but at the end of the day we want something that IMPROVES or ENHANCES functionality, speed, customization and visual experience. Removing functionality decreases customer satisfaction and trust.
(1) I can no longer filter on "TV" and "On-Demand".
(2) I get search results in the form of tiles. At a first glance, the tile does not tell me if it's a TV program (upcoming) or On-Demand. I have to click each one to find that information; I can't even hover on it and see details.
(3) Please make the keyboard QWERTY.
(1) The tiles (again) do not tell me: date, time, or channel on the front-end. I have to waste time clicking into each one.
(2) How do you change the Sort option?
(3) The ability to simply change from "recorded" tab to "scheduled recordings" tab is missing. I do not like that I have to scroll to the bottom to see scheduled items; integrated with the "recorded" list. This doesn't make sense to me.
(4) If I click on a tile called "X-Files", make a change and exit, I want to be returned, where I left off alphabetically, in the list. Right now I am forced back to the top of the list and I have to scroll back down to where I was.
(5) There is no option to have the current live stream of TV to be visible in a little box while perusing the List. Akin to how the little TV box is present while perusing the Guide. I think that this should be an option.
(6) The process of setting up a recording feels clunky to me. I'd like to see all options at the same time (at a glance), instead of having to scroll down, then scroll all the way to the top to exit and save.
(7) A new feature to warn us of duplicate recordings would have been very useful. So, if I set X-Files to tape on one channel at 9:00pm, have the system pop-up a warning if there is already a recording set up for X-Files on another channel, at the same time. This would allow us to refine our recording set-ups and also help to save on space.
(1) I like that the option to record series is available at the time you set up a recording. Thank you!
Well True, at least from a CUSTOMER standpoint.
It was more likely, some marketing guy, saying "This is what is HIP and what people will like" and someone beleiving them.
There are tons of people on here.. who would GLADLY voulenteen for REAL WORLD user testing for new things, to help prevent these things from happening.
I agree 100%. The customer should always be an integral part of the development process from beginning to end. I would have been more than happy to be involved in BETA testing or asked for features I would like to see in future releases. This is IT Development 101.
As taught in school perhaps but not in real life. Does Microsoft ask customers what they want?
I would like to mention a new feature that I absolutely love... The Mini Guide. Very convenient for channel surfing. Very much an improvement over the previous version. Bravo.

Shylo Shaner
Shylo began her journey of storytelling as an actor hailing from Pine Hills, Orlando, Florida. She began honing her craft in the nationally renowned performance arts magnet program at Dr. Phillips High School under the direction of Karen J Rugerio who taught the likes of Wesley Snipes, Wayne Brady, Joey Fatone, Mekia Cox, and many others. Shylo competed in solo and ensemble categories at the Florida State Thespian Festival and Florida Theatre Conference many times winning Best of Show and a college scholarship for her acting. This paved the way for her to attend UCF Conservatory for Acting on a full academic and talent scholarship.
After college Shylo took a stab at the Big Apple. She landed a national children's theatre tour that led her to sunny Los Angeles. Making Los Angeles home, Shylo soon became disenchanted with the lack of content for people of color in Hollywood. She especially noticed the lack of roles for women of color who weren't a size two. With no safety net but with a master plan, Shylo took a detour on her journey as a storyteller and decided to go back to school for something almost as fulfilling. She received an MSN in Nursing at Charles R Drew in Watts and became a labor and delivery nurse. This gave her a secure footing to pursue her true love of storytelling.
After a meaningful conversation with a good friend who encouraged her to write the content she wanted to see, Shylo set out to do just that. With her sights set on creating more content for people of color and the LGBTQIA community, the fire in her belly has reignited.

Many people believe that cats are very independent. They often don't realize that cats can experience separation anxiety. However, cats are social and they do become attached to their owners. Many cats are anxious when they're left alone. When cats become anxious, they often act out in destructive ways. They may act aggressively, knock things over, scratch doors and furniture, or urinate on your clothes or your bed while you're out of the house.
Destructive separation anxiety in cats has several potential causes.
One possible cause of separation anxiety is genetics. Certain breeds of cats, such as Siamese and Burmese cats, are more likely to develop separation anxiety. Cats with a high-strung temperament are also more likely to experience anxiety.
Kittens generally should not be separated from their mothers and siblings until they are at least eight weeks old. Cats that were taken away from their mothers too early as kittens are more prone to separation anxiety. Orphaned kittens are also more susceptible to the condition.
Just like some people, cats dislike changes in their routines. A big change such as a move, a new baby being born, a change in your work hours, or even daylight savings time can trigger separation anxiety in your cat. Cats also pick up on their humans' emotions. If you're anxious, there's a good chance that your cat will be anxious, too.
It's possible that your cat doesn't dislike being alone as much as he dislikes being bored. Cats who don't have enough activity will rely on you for attention and entertainment, and when you're gone, your cat will feel lost without you to play with.
Cats can develop depression and anxiety disorders just as humans can. If you think your cat may have separation anxiety, talk to your veterinarian. Your vet can make sure that the anxiety isn't caused by an underlying medical problem, and may be able to treat the anxiety with medication.
It's important not to punish your cat for anxious behavior—this will only make the anxiety, and thus the behavior, even worse. Here are several steps you can try if your cat has separation anxiety.
There are several behavior modification techniques that can help with anxiety.
Only reward behavior that you want to continue. Cats who receive attention for clingy behavior will continue that behavior and are more likely to be anxious when you're gone. Instead of reinforcing the anxious behavior, give your cat praise and attention when he's quiet or when he's entertaining himself.
Practice your routine. Cats notice your routine and the little rituals that signal when you're about to leave the house. The jingle of your car keys, the front door opening, or your putting on your shoes can make your cat anxious. Practice these routines throughout the day without leaving to desensitize your cat to these triggers. Pick up your keys and then put them down several times, for example. Walk outside for a short time, then come back, and gradually increase the length of the separation. Eventually, your cat will learn that when you leave, you're going to return.
Don't make a fuss about leaving. While it's tempting to spend awhile consoling your cat and reassuring him that you'll come back, prolonged goodbyes let your cat know that your leaving is a big deal. Treat your cat the same way whether you're leaving the house or just walking into a different room. Wait a few minutes to greet your cat after you return. If you treat your leaving like it's nothing to worry about, your cat will pick up on it and may feel more relaxed when you're gone.
Cats may become anxious when they're bored and do not have enough stimulation. One way to reduce separation anxiety and destructive behavior is to provide a fun and enriching environment for your cat.
Set up a scratching post for your kitty. A scratching post will allow your cat to scratch and will protect your furniture. Place it where your cat enjoys spending a lot of time. Setting up multiple scratching posts in different parts of your home gives your cat a way to keep herself entertained while you're away. A vertical scratching post is the best option. While you can purchase horizontal scratching posts, cats generally prefer a vertical scratching post.
Install a cat tree for your cat to climb. Cats feel safe when they are in high places. Place the cat tree near a window so your kitty can watch what's happening outdoors.
Set up a bird feeder in your yard and allow your cat to watch the birds from the window.
Provide an assortment of toys and puzzle feeders for your cat. The more toys your cat has to choose from, the better. Rotate different toys often so your cat doesn't become bored with the same ones. If there's a favorite toy that your cat especially loves, save it for times that you're away.
Try leaving the TV or the radio on while you're away. Choose a radio station that plays relaxing music, such as classical music or jazz. Set the TV on a station that shows nature programs during the day. You can even purchase DVDs made especially for cats.
Spending quality time playing with your cat is important for reducing separation anxiety. Play with your cat for at least 10 minutes every day. Have multiple play sessions with your cat whenever you can. Play with interactive toys or try teaching your cat a few tricks.
If your cat becomes destructive while you're away, try keeping her confined to one part of the house. Make sure she can access her food, water, litter box, and toys. Doing this will keep any damage limited to just one area of your home.
A pheromone diffuser such as Feliway may help to reduce your cat's anxiety. Place the diffuser in the area where your cat spends most of his time.
If your cat's anxiety remains high and she continues to be destructive, lodging her in daycare may provide a solution. Daycare will provide your cat with a fun environment where she'll receive attention from trained staff and can spend time with other cats.
Your veterinarian can give you helpful suggestions for treating your cat's separation anxiety. Talk to your vet if your cat's anxiety does not improve after trying the above suggestions. If you think your cat may be suffering from separation anxiety, contact us for an appointment.

This is why buses are STILL being tested on the renovated Bristol bridge just weeks before MetroBus launch
The bridge reopened to pedestrians and cyclists in May 2017 - but it is still being tested for MetroBus
Krishan Davis
MetroBus workers have been photographed carrying out height tests on a newly-renovated Bristol bridge just weeks before the route is set to launch.
Staff from FirstBus were seen on the refurbished Ashton Avenue Swing Bridge making sure a double-decker bus could pass comfortably underneath the metal girders.
The bridge reopened to pedestrians and cyclists in May 2017 following a renovation and is set to form part of the M2 MetroBus route.

The M2 buses will travel from Long Ashton Park & Ride over the bridge to the city centre via the Cumberland Basin, Broadmead, Cabot Circus and Bristol Temple Meads.
The route is set to launch in 'spring' this year – although the providers still seem to be testing buses on the bridge that surely should have been completed months ago.

However, not all is as it seems. The bus that has been photographed being tested on the bridge is FirstBus' biogas bus, launched in August last year.
The biogas bus was being tested for possible future use (Image: @LittleAlienMatt/ Twitter)
A spokesman for MetroBus confirmed while the standard buses that will be used on the M2 route have been thoroughly tested on the Ashton Avenue Bridge, the distinctive green biogas buses have not.
The 'biobuses' will not be immediately implemented when the route launches in a matter of weeks.
Council ban on mermaids using Bristol's swimming pools is 'putting them at risk'
The spokesman explained: "They are checking whether they can use the biogas bus in the future.
"The operators have a two-year grace period to bring in more environmentally-friendly buses, hybrid or similar."

He added the height of the biogas buses needed to be tested on the bridge because while the standard MetroBus buses stand at 4.2m tall, the greener buses are 4.3m tall.
A passer-by said: "The bus I saw was just a little lower than steel beams over the top of the bridge, but difficult to tell how far away when viewed from the ground.
"It had certainly not hit the top of the bridge, but it appeared that they were checking the clearance as someone was on a scaffold in front of the bus looking over the top."

All you need to know about Metrobus
The green buses are powered by biomethane - a renewable gas created from food waste that makes it a completely renewable and sustainable fuel source.
Despite being powered by morsels of leftover pizza and curry, the gas is completely odourless.

It should also be quieter, with a different type of engine in operation aimed at improving the experience for the 70 people on board.
As well as the 70 seats, there is standing room for 13 people and no grab-rails which creates more space.
No exact date has been given for the launch of the M2 route, with 'spring' the only timescale provided.
This is what a former Bristol nightclub is being transformed into
When it is in use the Ashton Avenue Bridge will be shared by MetroBus, pedestrians and cyclists.
The M3 service from Emersons Green to the city centre is also supposed to launch in the springtime while the M1 from Cribbs Causeway to Hengrove should be completed in July this year.

Sir Brian Mawhinney
Mr Michael Howard
Sir Nicholas Lyell
Mr James Arbuthnot
That this House, while confirming its strong belief in human rights, expresses its deep concern at the constitutional implications and deficiencies of the Human Rights Bill [Lords] because the Bill weakens one of the foundations of everyone's human rights and fundamental freedoms, which is an effective political democracy; because the Bill creates in the United Kingdom an additional, separate, and potentially incompatible, constitutional framework; because the Bill fails adequately to respect and maintain the principle of separation of powers between the executive, legislature, and judiciary fundamental in a democratic society and will therefore lead to a further increase in the power of the executive, the diminution of Parliament, and the politicisation of the judiciary; and declines to give the Bill a Second Reading.
Debate may continue until 10.00 p.m.
+ 2 HUMAN RIGHTS BILL [LORDS] [MONEY]: Queen's Recommendation signified. [No debate]
Dawn Primarolo

(a) the payments out of money provided by Parliament of any expenses incurred by a Minister of the Crown--
(i) in consequence of an award of damages or costs in proceedings under the Act;

(b) the payment out of such money or the Consolidated Fund of sums in respect of any additional judicial salary, or of contributions or benefits in respect of judicial pensions, arising in connection with the appointment of the holder of a judicial office as a judge of the European Court of Human Rights;

Drivvedsteorin är en historisk hypotes, enligt vilken Finlands inträde i fortsättningskriget 1941 som Tysklands bundsförvant inte skulle ha varit resultatet av en medveten vilja från finländsk sida utan ha berott på yttre krafters spel, det vill säga att "landet rycktes med i storpolitikens virvlar på samma sätt som en strid ström rycker med sig en drivande stock".

Drivvedsteorin kreerades 1950 vid publiceringen av den tyske diplomaten Wipert von Blüchers memoarer Ödesdigra år. Diplomatiska minnen från Finland 1935–44 (citatet ovan är hämtat från denna bok) och blev snabbt accepterad i vida kretsar i Finland. Den omfattades allmänt ännu på 1960-talet men förlorade i trovärdighet sedan den blivit föremål för kritisk skärskådan av flera utländska historiker. Bland annat påpekade amerikanen H. Peter Krosby, i polemik mot Arvi Korhonen och dennes 1961 utgivna arbete Barbarossaplanen och Finland, att den finländska politiska och militära ledningen redan månader före det tyska anfallet på Sovjetunionen medvetet hade anpassat sin politik till den tyska.

De finländska skribenter som behandlade frågan gjorde sig i allmänhet till tolkar för en deterministisk uppfattning. Under 1970- och 1980-talet fick man dock även i Finland en mera nyanserad syn på detta kritiska skede i landets historia, bland annat sedan flera personer som 1940–1941 haft insyn i de centrala skeendena hade uttalat sig i saken. Den slutliga dödsstöten åt drivvedsteorin gavs av Mauno Jokipii, som 1987 konstaterade att Finland redan hösten 1940 hade etablerat ett relativt fast samarbete med Tyskland, vilket sedan fortsatte fram till fortsättningskrigets utbrott sommaren 1941.

Vid sekelskiftet 2000 presenterade Heikki Ylikangas en helt ny tolkning om hur vinterkriget förhöll sig till fortsättningskriget. Han hävdade att Finlands politiska och militära ledning hade slutit fred i vinterkriget på tysk uppmaning efter tyska utfästelser om snar kompensation samt nästan omedelbart börjat förbereda sig för ett nytt krig med Sovjetunionen.

Home Funding Bucharest-bas...
Hungary-Startups
Bucharest-based Questo raises €300K to grow its gamified tours fit for a post-COVID world
Charlotte Tucker
Today Questo, the platform for city exploration games, raises €300K to help travellers and locals explore destinations by going on tours in game form, called quests. The round was led by Sparking Capital with participation from Early Game Ventures, helping Questo expand into more cities through local storytellers and tour operators.
With Questo, travellers and locals explore destinations by following clues and solving challenges in order to discover new places and stories. Today, the platform is available in 70 cities worldwide, and it's growing rapidly.
"We're transforming city exploration into a fun game that's safe to play on your own. For this, we partner with tour operators and storytellers from all around the world, who are creating their own games. Our model is so scalable that we could launch Questo in every city of the world. And we'll probably do that," says Alex Govoreanu, co-founder and CEO.
The Questo platform also comes as a solution for tour operators in a post-COVID world. The resulting gamified tours are safe to explore with, don't require assistance from a guide, and can be played privately, therefore avoiding large groups. Also, the routes of the quests are designed to help users discover less popular places, while sharing amazing stories crafted by local storytellers.
"Cities are the world's best playgrounds, but for some reason, most of us are playing indoors. With Questo, we are on a mission to change this by working with tour operators and local storytellers worldwide, who are designing their own quests, each with a unique theme. Imagine exploring London as Sherlock Holmes, Paris as Picasso or Zurich as Einstein" adds Govoreanu.
The funding will be used to continue its partnerships with international tour operators and storytellers, and to further improve the technology to ensure a fun and equally safe city exploration experience for its users. By the end of 2020, Questo aims to become available in 100 cities.
"We are happy to announce a new investment in a talented founding team and an innovative product, which challenges the status-quo of the classic city travelling via a self-guided tour, delivered through an app. Responding to the needs of having an engaging, immersive, private and safe city exploration experience, consumers may explore with Questo app landmarks from all over the world, from Montmartre to Manhattan and from Secret Passage at Chimalistac in Mexico City to the Old Town and Temples of Bangkok", said Vlad Panait, co-founder and General Partner of Sparking Capital.
In 2019, more than 50,000 people played a city exploration game with Questo, while walking more than 200,000 kilometers. Every game can be purchased inside the Questo apps, the website, and from partners such as TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide or Musement. Currently, the price per game ranges from €10 – €20 per group of up to 4 players.

Dear Questo, I am very interested in hearing back from you as I live in London and I am a tourist guide for the UK. I also tour manage worldwide.
More to the point I do voice overs and I find this idea intriguing and exciting.
Please do reply with your thoughts and I could send you a clip of my voice.
Thank you so much and kind regards, Corinna Croft


The upcoming March issue MOJO magazine celebrates Joni over 22 pages, with a classic in-depth interview, plus rare pics and insights and a 15-track CD of Joni songs and artists, featuring Julia Holter, Frazey Ford, Nadia Reid, Case/Lang/Veirs, Sun Kil Moon, Tomberlin, Wendy & Lisa and more. Pick one up in your local bookstore or get a copy delivered to your home.
In celebration of Joni's 75th birthday, an amazing group of artists joined together for a tribute concert, in front of Joni herself. On Feb 7 only, you can experience the incredible concert on the big screen alongside fellow Joni fans when @MusicCenterLA Presents Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration comes to movie theaters across the US and Canada. Info and tickets here.
Rhino Records will be releasing Joni's album "Blue" on... you guessed it... blue vinyl on January 22. Limited to 6,000 copies! More information here.
The 120-minute 'Joni 75' performance will show one night only - February 7 - in 350-400 theaters across the USA. Details are sketchy but we'll post more here as they come to light.
Norman Seeff's long-awaited book, the extraordinary collection of photographs entitled "Joni: The Joni Mitchell Sessions" is being shipped this week. It is a creative partnership that has lasted for over 40 years. Joni and Norman Seeff, a rock-and-roll photographer with a host of legendary subjects in his portfolio, did some of their best work together. Through over a dozen sessions with Joni, Norman captured the many facets of her personality in some of her most famous images.
-Password protected access to Seeff's library of filmed sessions featuring multiple artists exploring Joni as the Boundary Dweller and innovative Artist.
-Seeff's 7-Stage road map of the Boundary Dweller Archetype as exemplified by Joni. This schematic serves as a tool to empower personal creativity.
The standard edition, without any of the above features, is available through Amazon and other booksellers starting on December 18th.
The beautiful program book for the Joni 75 event in Los Angeles has been put online. If you didn't get a ticket, you can at least enjoy the booklet! Take a look.
The beautiful 11x14 inch hardcover version of Norman Seeff's book, currently available for pre-orders at $60, will increase to the retail price of $75 on October 24. The signed version will remain at $100 & the Collectors Edition at $650 and Seeff will add a personalized greeting for those who order either of these versions via the website and provide the name(s) for the greeting.
For all you completists out there, Joni's most recent compilation "Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting To Be Danced" is being released as a 180-gram 8LP vinyl box set. See more information here.
The Music Center has added James Taylor and Brandi Carlile to the previously announced line-up of singers and musicians who will honor Joni Mitchell on her 75th birthday as part of JONI 75: A Birthday Celebration Live at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on November 6 and 7. A limited number of additional tickets have been released and are going fast.
James Taylor and Brandi Carlile will join Glen Hansard, Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones, Chaka Khan, Diana Krall, Kris Kristofferson, Los Lobos, Graham Nash, Seal, and Rufus Wainwright to perform songs from Mitchell's prolific career. Co-musical directors providing the musical arrangements for the evenings are drummer Brian Blade, who recorded three studio albums and toured extensively with Mitchell, and, pianist, composer, arranger producer Jon Cowherd.
We are currently accepting submissions for symposium speaker proposals. The committee hopes that Mitchell's evocative lyrics inspire a similarly wide-ranging set of proposals. For more information, see the Call for Papers.
Max Bennett's first professional gig was in 1949, and throughout his long career he played with such legends as Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Zappa, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, George Harrison, Joan Baez, Joni, and many more. Max is often associated with the famous 'Wrecking Crew', a loose collective of session musicians based in Los Angeles whose services were employed for thousands of studio recordings in the 1960s and early 1970s.
In 1973, Bennett, along with Tom Scott, founded the L.A. Express which served as the core band for Joni's Court and Spark album. A subsequent iteration of the group backed Joni on her 1974 tour which spawned the live Miles of Aisles album.
Max states on his website: "I feel that the relationship with Joni was the pinnacle of great music and total fun! She is a great lady!" Max was also interviewed for JoniMitchell.com in 2011 where he talked more about his time recording and touring with Joni.
Max Bennett was 90 years old. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Rolling Stone reports that "live performances by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, recorded at a student ministry on the University of Michigan campus in 1968, were among the professional-quality recordings unearthed by the Michigan History Project.
"Seven-inch reel-to-reel audio tapes featuring concerts by Tim Buckley, Odetta, David Ackles and Dave Van Ronk were also among the recordings made at the Canterbury House, an Ann Arbor, Michigan venue that hosted counterculture events in the mid to late-Sixties.
Joni performed at the Canterbury House on March 8, 9, and 10 in 1968. It's unclear as to which concert(s) have been found. Before the weekend of performances, someone scrawled across the advertisement "God is alive in Joni Mitchell".
"The Michigan History Project recently acquired the recordings, with the non-profit organization now seeking a record label interested in releasing the concerts."

In 1970 the Isle of Wight Festival was one of the largest musical events of its time. Bigger than Woodstock, and controversial from the get-go, hundreds of thousands of people descended on the island. Many of those without tickets set up camp on a hill overlooking the festival site, opposing the consumerism of the event and intent on taking the music back by any means necessary. It was a celebration of hippy counter culture gone awry, and in Joni's words "they fed me to the beast". Joni took to the stage to deliver an outstanding performance against all odds. At times it was a battle against the audience, as they tore down barriers and shouted obscenities. Her set was interrupted multiple times, including one man invading the stage to try address the crowd.
'Joni Mitchell: The Norman Seeff Sessions' is a new photo book to be published on November 6. Timed to release on Joni's 75th birthday, this collection of familiar and rare imagery tracks the pair's history together through these exclusive moments captured on film. A combination of album artwork and candid shots reveals Joni's personality in ways few have managed to capture before or since. Featuring commentary from Seeff on the enlightenment into his art that he gained from their sessions, this compilation is a true reflection on mutual creativity between artist and muse.


We get a lot of questions from Bubble Tea Shop owners asking about what type of food items they can add to their drink menu. Waffles are a great choice and are starting to be served in bubble tea shops around the world. One of the most popular combinations are Hong Kong Egg Waffles and Bubble Tea. Both of these culinary delicacies were once exotic and are now becoming more mainstream.
What are Hong Kong Egg Waffles?
Hong Kong Egg Waffles go by many names: Bubble Waffle, Puffle, Egglet, Egg Waffle, Pancake Waffle, Eggpuff and in Cantanese gai daan jai (鷄蛋仔). They use a rich waffle like batter but what makes them so unique is the waffle maker. It has many "cells" that create a puff or bubble out of the waffle. The waffle can also be folded and one popular way to serve them is folded around ice cream!
There are a few rumors circulating about how Hong Kong Egg Waffles got started. The most popular one is that in the 1950's a store owner received a delivery of eggs. When they opened the boxes they saw that a lot of the eggs were broken and instead of throwing them out, they mixed with eggs with with flour and sugar and poured them into a cast iron mold. After heating the iron mold on a fire, Hong Kong Egg Waffles were born!
One of the secrets to making Hong Kong Egg Waffles is to make sure that you don't fill up your mold all the way with batter. When the waffles are cooking, they will expand so you want to leave room for them to expand and create their iconic "bubble" or "puff". To make the batter for Hong Kong egg waffles all you need are eggs, flour and sugar or you can try a traditional waffle or pancake mix. Many waffle makers will come with their own recipe guide.

You will pass by three hydroelectric dams as you drive along Washington Route 20, through North Cascades National Park (although technically, you're in Ross Lake National Recreation Area, not the actual National Park, which is north and south of the river). Coming from the west, the first dam is Gorge Dam, and behind it, Gorge Lake.
Gorge Dam was the first of the three dams to be built. Construction began in 1921, and the first power from the dam was delivered to Seattle in 1924.
You can get a somewhat obstructed view of Gorge Dam, via the Gorge Overlook Trail, a loop that's slightly less than a mile, and paved for about half the way (gravel for the rest of it). There's an easy-to-spot parking area at the side of Washington 20, so you can't miss it.
Looking across the gorge, you'll also spot a waterfall. It would be more impressive if you could get closer to it, but you'll have to settle with the view from the heavily-trafficked trail.
… before dropping you off at the parking area.

After speaking, his silhouette transformed into a green light and he rushed out of the room in an instant. The other two leaders did not dare to stay after witnessing his departure and they hastily followed.
Inside the courtyard, numerous men fell to the ground and wailed endlessly.
The troops they were facing were like killing gods, cold-hearted and ruthless as their arms were covered with blood. There seemed to only be a single word in their eyes, which was… kill!
A white-robed lady stood ahead of this troop and the sword in her hands was dyed red with fresh blood. The blood converged together into droplets of blood flowing along the edge of the blade.
At this moment, her expression was very calm, yet under her peaceful expression, it couldn't conceal the killing intent she emitted.
"Who has such courage to cause trouble in my Heaven Defying Bandit Gang?"
Following an angry shout, a man in navy-robes stood in mid-air while his sharp sword-like gaze shot towards the white-robed lady. After he saw the courtyard filled with corpse, the fury in his eyes increased.
"Who are you and why did you intrude in my Heaven Defying Bandit Gang to kill?"
"Heaven Defying Bandit Gang?" The young lady faintly smiled, as her wicked smile revealed inexhaustible killing intent. "Just relying on this group of people and you dare to talk about defying heaven?
The man's eyes darkened as he coldly spoke. "I'm unaware if I can defy the heavens, but I know that you'll definitely die here today!"
Hua!
After speaking, his body transformed into a long sword and rushed towards Yun Luofeng at high speed.
A hurricane wind arose from his surroundings and dust flew around everywhere. His aura was sharp, similar to a longsword cutting through the mud. Seemingly if this attack landed, the young lady on the ground would be skewered by him.
Witnessing their leader's emergence, the members of the Heaven Defying Bandit Gang cheered and their gazes towards Yun Luofeng and others were filled with fury and hatred.
No one could intrude on the Heaven Defying Bandit Gang and no one can continue living after provoking them!
As long as their first leader took action, this young lady would be buried here no matter how strong she was!
The second and third leader also arrived and after witnessing the first leader taking action, they were at ease.
"Die!"
The first leader furiously shouted and his body had arrived before Yun Luofeng. There were only a few meters between them and with only a breath's time, he would penetrate through her chest…
The cheering of the bandits became louder and the two other leaders had a complacent smile on their faces.
However, at this moment, a left hand obstructed his attack… and then he who was still charging was stopped by this hand.
The first leader's body floated in the skies while astonishment was written across his face and his eyes contained a hint of disbelief
The cheers stopped…
The other two leader's expressions also stiffened, and their faces seemed like they had encountered a ghost while they stared without blinking at the young lady who easily obstructed their first leader.
The first leader stared blankly at the young lady and his eyes were opened wide. He was so shocked that he couldn't even complete an entire sentence.
"Not only are you unable to defy heavens, at the same time, you don't have the strength to make me die here."
Her brows lifted and were bewitching and filled with teasing. However, her voice revealed killing intent that caused one to tremble with fear.
The young lady's wrist twisted in a flash and whirled his body around a few times in the air before suddenly throwing him on the ground.

Little Sister has big dreams for when she grows up!
When I Grow Up - Little Critter by Mercer Mayer is part of a sub-series of Little Critter titles that feature his cute little sister. Published in print in 1991, this adorable story shares a young girl's dreams for her future, including becoming a ballet dancer, truck driver and baker of tasty treats. In the end, she is reminded that she is getting hungry. When mom answers that dinner will be, "Liver and beans," she thinks to herself, "I can't wait until I grow up!" The digital version of this book also adds a new twist, keeping track as the young reader tries to find all 20 of the little cats that Mayer has hidden in his detailed illustrations.
Like other apps by Oceanhouse Media, this book is interactive in a way that enhances early reading skills. Most images (of mom, Little Critter's sister and the things around them), will name themselves aloud while the word briefly appears over the illustration. For example, touch Little Sister in any scene and the word "Little Sister" appears on the screen simultaneously with audio narration. Additionally, the text on the page will highlight if the word tapped is in the story. This provides nice audio-visual reinforcement for early literacy. This app also has great settings, including the ability to record your own narration, turn off sound effects or even disable the interactive elements. Simple navigation is delightfully intuitive with a thumbnail page guide.
For young readers and pre-readers, the text can be set to highlight as the narrator says each word. The delightful child narrator is easy to understand and a perfect fit, since the story is told in the first-person by Little Critter's sister. Featuring the common dreams of any young child in a western culture, this title does a wonderful job of opening the door to a world of possible careers for young girls.

The BNOx system is a retrofit solution which lowers nitrogen oxides (NOx) by more than 90% under real driving conditions (RDE).
The emission values BNOX achieves under real driving conditions in retrofitted vehicles of pollution class EURO 2 and higher are better than those of the current EURO 6 category. In the future, this will qualify your vehicle for the forthcoming Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
The BNOx system comprises a BNOx (ammonia) generator that meters the NH3 gas directly into the exhaust line. As a result of this operating principle, no function-critical hydrolysis in the exhaust gas stream is required (unlike other conventional SCR systems).
With the BNOx system, the Baumot Group offers a retrofit solution that lowers nitrogen oxides by more than 90% under real conditions (RDE1). The emission values it achieves under real conditions in retrofitted vehicles of pollution class EURO 2 and higher are better than those of the current EURO 6 category. In future, this would enable you to qualify your vehicle for the ULEZ3.
The high nitrogen oxide reduction rate at low temperatures is especially important to the automotive industry, because in future, testing must also be carried out under real road conditions (RDE1) with a PEMS2 measurement device (EURO 6c). In those tests, the prevailing exhaust gas temperatures are significantly lower than with the previous test stand methods.
This means that the BNOx system already meets future legal requirements for on-road measurements (EURO 6c) today. With the BNOx system, passenger cars of pollution class EURO 2 or higher can comply with at least EURO 6 emissions limits.
