Aimed at a young adult readership, Mice is a short, dark thriller narrated by Shelley, a 16-year-old girl living in a remote cottage with her mother - or perhaps 'hiding' would be more accurate, because Shelley and her mother are 'mice', perpetual victims who have retreated into isolation to escape the bullying influences that have come to dominate their lives. Shelley's now absent father was controlling and, it's hinted, violent; Shelley herself has been bullied so badly at school that she's now educated at home.
For a time, their life at the cottage seems safe and secure, as they decide they need nobody but each other to exist happily, tucked away from other people. But when something happens to disrupt the equilibrium, it seems that Shelley and her mother can't survive as mice for much longer.
As a thriller, Mice certainly succeeds - I would defy anyone not to keep turning the pages to the end. However, the plot is really secondary to a more ambiguous message as Shelley and her mother change and grow with their changed circumstances. Reece wisely leaves the reader to form their own opinions about what the novel's end really means for Shelley, and I can imagine the open-ended conclusion providing rich fodder for many a book club debate.
I would suspect that opinions will differ, too, about the relationship between mother and daughter. Are they devoted soulmates with the perfect parent-child bond, or are they feeding each other's neuroses, encouraging each other's status as victims? There are certainly times when the reader might guiltily have an inkling of why both women seem to fall prey to bullies: while nobody could ever a million years suggest they could have deserved anything that's happened to them, their weak timidity can be irksome in the extreme.
doesn't quite work. The character of Shelley regularly failed to convince me as a real teenage girl, and I also felt the degree of change in her former friends, latterly her tormentors, was a little too extreme and heavy-handed to be credible. Moreover, I couldn't believe for a moment the reaction of Shelley's school to her difficulties.
I think perhaps I was looking for a little more from Mice than I felt it really delivered. I'd have liked more measured progress in terms of plot and character, a little more complexity. I appreciate that I'm in my late 30s, however, and am therefore a long way from this young adult novel's target audience.


After plans to have Paulo Costa and Yoel Romero throw down last November fell through, the UFC is reportedly working on finalizing a new date for the middleweights to battle.
The promotion had hoped to have Costa and Romero scrap at UFC 230, but due to injuries the latter sustained in his June defeat to champ, Robert Whittaker, that didn't happen. Well, now Combate is reporting that the UFC is trying to add Costa – Romero to its April 27th card in Miami, Florida.
MMA Junkie is also reporting that the fight is in motion.
Romero (13-3) lost via split decision to Whittaker in his last bout, which marked the second time he's lost to the champ via the judges' scorecards.
Costa (12-0), meanwhile, took out Uriah Hall in his last outing, which moved his UFC record to 4-0.
The upcoming Miami event will be broadcast on ESPN.

As a child I used to make rowanberry necklaces at the end of summer holidays and in the beginning of the school year. My school was 10min walking distance from my house and I always walked through a park where there were a lot of rowan trees giving beautiful red berries.
Together with my friends, we used to pick-up the most beautiful berries to make little jewellery for us or our dolls :) I also remember that we did some crafts with the berries at school to improve our fine motor skills.
This autumn we went for a 4 day family trip to Montreal, Mont Tremblant and Montebello. The weather was gorgeous and we did a lot of walking in different parks and in the mountains. And we saw a lot of rowan trees!
So when I told my daughter that she could actually make 'things' from these beautiful red rowan berries, she couldn't wait to be back home. Finally we decided to make a necklace and she did it all on her own! She loves all kinds of fine motor activities and she was really delighted when I told her she would use a real needle. I helped her with the thread and after a few minutes the necklace was ready. I can't tell you how proud she was!
Step1 Pick up some rowan berries. You may use them fresh or dry them for a couple of days. They should not be too dry as they may be too hard to work with. Ours were dried during a 5 days before we actually used them.
Step2 Put the thread in the needle and let your child do the work :) The needle should be inserted in the black dot that is visible on the berry. This way, your child will know where to start. The needle should come on the opposite side of the berry, otherwise, the berry may not hold to the thread properly.
Step3 When all the berries are done, make a knot at the end of the thread. Depending of what kind of berries you have used (fresh or dry) you may need to dry the necklace for a couple of days. Enjoy!


There is no movie out there that is exactly the same as the book it was based on. Whether it's because an element doesn't work cinematically or because things have to be cut for time, there will always be differences between source material and film. But what do you do when the material you're adapting is held precious by millions and is very much part of a phenomenon? That's exactly what Gary Ross had to deal with while making The Hunger Games.
A few weeks back I was invited to participate in a series of roundtables with the cast and filmmakers behind the Suzanne Collins adaptation including its writer/director. Check out our interview below in which Ross not only talks about adding to and cutting the source material, what it was like working closely with the original author, and why the PG-13 rating didn't hamper him in any way.
It's fascinating. Everyone we've talked to loves the movie. You've clearly assembled a group of people that don't just love the job, but love the material and are excited about it.
I had a great cast. It's great and that's one if the fun things about being a director is that you put a company together. You put your little rep company together. In this case we all went off to the woods together. We all lived in Nashville over the summer, we all knew each other, and we all hung out together. These are astoundingly talented actors, so it' thrilling to be in a creative environment like that and we all had a great time. I tend to love actors. I was trained as an actor first so I'm drawn to actors. I think they have the hardest job on the movie. You have to pretend that 250 people aren't looking at you and muster the truth in an unselfconscious way. And what most people are doing on a movie set is fairly technical and what an actor is doing on a movie set is fairly ephemeral. It cannot happen in an instant. But this group was wonderful.
This movie is already a phenomenon but when you're developing the script knowing that you have this fan base, you can't have a pure adaptation, so where do you draw the line at what you can include and what you don't include?
I mean I love the book. I wouldn't have thrown my hat in if I didn't. So when I read it I wanted to do a faithful adaptation, as faithful an adaptation as I could because I dug the source material. It's not like I wanted a point of departure, having said that there's obviously a translation from one medium to another. But Suzanne [Collins] understands that and I did the final draft of the script with her. So somebody asked me about Peter Jackson and how he handled the fans and his departure from The Lord of the Rings and I said, 'well I was lucky enough to have JRR Tolkien in the room with me.' So I wrote a draft that I sent to Suzanne, she loved the draft, she came out and we talked. She has a lot of ideas that were great and we started working together on the last draft. So this reflects our work together. So I felt pretty confident in the departures I would make.
Are there things that you shot that would end up on an extended edition of The Hunger Games?
It's so funny because everybody asks about the director's cut. This is the director's cut. It's not like anybody is making me take stuff out. I don't believe in the inclusion of extra scenes. I was always bummed when Francis [Ford Coppola] showed everybody the scene from the French dinner party in Apocalypse Now. It's like, no man I want to see what you and Richard Marx did in that movie. So, I don't even really believe in the inclusion of extra scenes. Yeah, there's stuff that I did that I like, things we shot that didn't make it in. There was one whole scene in the woods that was between Prim and Gale that I thought was like a tender little moment and some stuff in the training center that didn't make it in. But I think the movie should stand up on its own.
Working with Suzanne on the script there had to have been a moment where you disagreed.
You know it wasn't really like that. We both saw challenges. We both saw translation issues. I was interested to hear from her about what things were necessary, fresh eyes from the woman who had created the whole thing. It was a very collegial conversation. We started working together before I invited her in to do the draft. And I don't think I would have done that if it hadn't felt so good working together.
You have a great visual aesthetic. It almost is a musical aesthetic with very distinct musical patterns. How did you go about achieving that?
Phil [Desena] is actually someone who I met through my friend Steven Soderbergh. I loved the stuff that he'd done on Steven's stuff. Erin Brockovich, I love the design of that movie and the Oceans movies. Phil and I talked about some other movies prior to this and the seam is the seam. We know what that's all about. And we were lucky enough to be shooting in North Carolina where we found an abandoned mill town that had 27 of these worker houses that had been built around the 1930's and it had an old dam with a turbine and things that just worked perfectly for the movie to evoke the scene. It was like finding a backlot so we just got very lucky that way. In terms of the Capital we were inventing something so the first thing was it had to have authority, it had to have power, it had to have might. It couldn't feel dreamed up in a computer. I wanted it to be set in the future but have a sense of its own past. So I had to find the building materials, concrete at first. So I looked at a lot of palaces in Lassa and Tibet that had these blank concrete edifices and were very imposing. That brought Phil to a period of mid-century architecture that's come to be known as brutalism. Which are these blank concrete edifices that are imposing. We thought about seats of power in the world and the fact that they all rely on open space. They're never tall or soaring. That's kind of joyous, right? New York City, right? It has a happy, huge, soaring skyline that goes up to the heavens. But any seat of power is about horizontal space, open space: Tiananmen Square, Red Square, that's how you establish, might and authority, you get away from it. So we riffed off that and a little bit of Albert Speer. We studied Leni Riefenstahl and things like that. Because this place had to feel real, it's the antagonist of the piece. It has to have a certain kind of power and I know that the Capital feels like a circus, it's festive and alluring and indulgent and decadent but it also has to have the kind of might and power behind it so that informed those decisions.
I think the great thing about science fiction is that everyone has to make a decision about their future world. What was the key for you in determining the look of the Capital and its citizens?
Again that It's this wild carnival that will feel real, that the decadence feels real. That was the touchstone with everything. And I had incredibly talented people. I mean Ve Neill, my make-up artist, has been nominated for nine Oscars and won three. I mean this lady really knows what she's doing. So these are collaborations with talented people. But what I wanted to do was have it be bent and a little twisted. My reference for shooting Effie was Joel Grey in Cabaret. I wanted to get inside that make-up and see every pore and see every hair. I wanted it to be grotesque. When you shoot her from out there and she's front lit she looks like a stage performer. When you shoot her from in here you're seeing the burden of the make-up that she packs on every morning and I wanted to get behind that veil and behind the public presentation of it was to get to the grotesque. And we tried to find that balance in the Capital as well.
The book is about violence, but you do have a PG-13 rating. Did you ever feel handcuffed?
No, because I wouldn't have shot this any differently regardless of the rating. I think that the MPAA had an issue with one or two shots. There was one tighter shot that I cut to a wider shot. It was so minor that it was almost insignificant really. It's a nice synergy because I'm shooting in Katniss' point of view. And because I'm in her point of view the hits of violence that you experience are so subjective to her that I'm not cutting wide to indulge a set piece of violence and then back to Katniss. I'm in Katniss' perception of that. And so I don't need to graphically indulge or exploit that violence. I'm seeing her perception of it and as long as I'm invested in her perception. And as long as I'm invested in her point of view a little goes a very long way in terms of her experience of what that's like. And you guys have seen it it's not like we backed off the violence in the Cornucopia. It's pretty explicit but it doesn't need to be indulgent in order to be explicit. Because I'm on her, I'm not on it. I'm on her as she perceives it and I'll show it and we don't back off it but at the same time the whole movie is about her perception. Including the sound, including the music, I mean everything.
Do you become very conscious of Katniss' point of view in the editing room in terms of how long you can or cannot get away from her.
Oh, completely. I mean you're in her point of view and even when I cut away to that game center I'm doing what Suzanne did in the character's head. I mean Suzanne writes "Oh, I know the game makers are messing with me right now. They're doing X,Y and Z." Well I have the ability in the movie to be able to cut to that. Where in a first person narrative you can't. So I'm really just doing what's in the book anyway. So I'm able to show something that's in the novel is just imagined. I think it was still within Katniss' storyline to cut to Liam seeing that kiss for example. And the game makers were an integral part of Katniss' storyline but I'm never leaving what's going on with her for very long because I need to stay and keep you invested in what's happening to her. If you're in Katniss' shoes and I cut to the game makers messing with her and I cut back to Katniss you're still in Katniss' shoes. You're still in her process and her thought process and going through her experience. I'm enhancing that in the cut away; I'm not digressing from that. So that was really the criteria in how I did it.
With so many characters in this what were the biggest challenges in assembling this whole cast knowing that so many people have their own perceptions?
I mean look, I was a fan before I was the director. I love the books too. I can't make a movie in a way other than pleasing myself and my own judgment. That's all a director has. All we have is our take on it. I can't really worry about or guess what 23 million different opinions are. And so I have to trust my own gut and what I think is going to work. But these were all amazing actors and in terms of calibrating what the whole cast is, that's a process where you have to look at everybody together and see how this world fits together. Does the tone break anywhere? Do they homogenize and harmonize well? So that's really what that process is. I didn't feel a tremendous amount of pressure about what the fans would think because I thought I was being faithful to the book and therefore to what the fans would want and I was talking to Suzanne throughout the casting process as well.


The Premier Inn bed. Shame I couldn't take it with me.
Staying with Kent Search and Rescue member, Chris, and his partner Janet. So kind of them to let me stay for 2 nights. Despite being independent and happy in my own company, I'm starting to really appreciate the support of others on this trip.
The Saxon Shore Way from Cliffe to Upper Upnor. Oh how I love well maintained and clearly signposted footpaths. Makes life so much easier.
I like travelling by train as it triggers memories of great days out with my Mum as a child, and the high speed train from London to Gravesend was a bit of a treat. So smooth…and fast. And call me mad but I like the London tubes too.
The helpful barman in The Three Tuns PH in Lower Halstow who tried getting me a taxi to Sittingbourne with great difficulty. He put my mind at ease by offering to drive me himself at the end of his shift so I wouldn't get stranded there. Sometimes you just need someone to say don't worry I'll make sure you're OK and this was one of those times.
Having a day off in Sittingbourne and managing to get everything I wanted; the next 3 maps and a powerbank to charge my phone. This wouldn't have been a big deal when I lived at home, but normal things are extra complicated whilst travelling, so when things go well it makes a big positive impact.
Still packing and dismantling a wardrobe at 3am on the move day.
Being so stressed and sleep deprived after moving out of my home that I ended up crying into my breakfast in Sainsbury's cafe. Most unlike me.
The Saxon Shore Way from Gravesend to Cliffe. Horrible weather plus graffiti, litter, badly signed and closed footpaths, and my inexperience regarding navigation, meant it was a pretty miserable walk, and one that knocked my confidence.
Deciding to book accommodation a few miles of my route and get a taxi to my B&B rather than bust a gut to find somewhere within a short walk of it almost backfired when I got temporarily stuck in a pub struggling to get a taxi. A stressful end to an already stressful day.
I should've got a powerbank (to charge my phone in an emergency) earlier. That would've made the difference between embracing the environment and enjoying walking through the stunning Riverside Nature Reserve and having a low battery niggling me and spoiling the day.
Become more familiar with my phone so it becomes a more useful tool. For example, I'd completely forgotten I'd installed ViewRanger, which would've proved useful on my Gravesend to Cliffe walk.


If you like a big are and a big grilling session, this transformer is the one for you. It sits there like an unassuming coffee table in copper with a wooden table top until you need to are it up.
It transforms into a large fire pit with an easy to remove ashtray at the bottom. It can also be the life of the party by becoming the coolest communal grill in town.

Q: How to choose the best answer for bounties I am in a problem. I made a bounty and I got 2 good answers, but they are "different". I know the bounty system is to award the effort and help others to find the best answer, and that is why I am worried for choosing the best answer.
The first answer (A) answers the question in 10 lines and links to a reference about it. It is clear, but there is no more info than what my specific case needs, so it only works for me.
The second answer (B) also answers the question in 100 lines, with no reference link. It answers my question, but it also answers other cases for other persons having different related problems than mine, and it gives too much information not really related to my issue.
Which should I choose?
How should I choose the best answer for bounties?

You may have realized by now that a large part of getting high on Google's radar is by producing some quality content. But to compete against the big players, you're not only going to need a lot of content, you're going to need a lot of relevant content. Optimized, engaging, interesting, varied - and oozing with brand personality and that extra viral quality that people can't resist liking and sharing!
Sounds like hard work? That's because it is. If you've got extra cash to invest and time is your greatest challenge, you could think about outsourcing this task to a copywriter, content marketer, designer, or videographer. And if you work in different languages, you'll need expert online translation services.
The best way to create a lot of content is by starting off with one main source. Do you need an original piece of content to start the game off? It helps. But not necessarily, as long as you don't plagiarize anybody. Check with Copyscape if you're worried about duplicate content.
There's no problem with starting out from a video you share (and credit) on your social media, or an article relevant to your business. Once you have the main source of content, you can begin to break it down and make more content from it. A video clip becomes an article, a newsletter, a Facebook post, a tweet, an animated GIF – the whole nine yards!
Audio content is becoming more popular and a great way to attract visitors to your site. You could think about holding interviews with your loyal clients, or maybe a local celebrity. You could even have someone question you on how you started your company and whatchallengesyou face.
You'll have a nice audio podcast or audio-visual podcast to put on your site and share across social media. Which is then easy-peasy to break down into an article (or two or three), which can then be split into chunks of micro content.
Maybe your interview covers a lot of areas. How you started the business, what it's like working every day, what your motivations are,favoriteproducts, or perhaps who inspires you most. Each one of these topics can be broken down into separate blog articles which you can post weekly. Out of just one 15-20-minute podcast, you can create at least four articles for your blog! Which means if you only post once a week, you're covered for the month.
If your interview is face-to-face, you can use the recorder on your smartphone if you don't have a digital recording device. It will automatically save the file in a format easy to upload and edit on your Mac or PC, with a downloaded program like Audacity. Remember to research your interviewee beforehand and try not to speak when they're speaking. Also, keep your recording to a maximum of 20-30 minutes if you want to keep the momentum going.
If your interview will be held online, you can conduct a video call via Skype and record the session with a video recorder like SnagIt, or any of these tools here. Your video interview will be saved as an MP4 and you can upload to your website, blog, or YouTube channel with ease.
Listen to your podcast and get it transcribed. If you're short on time you can easily outsource this mundane task for a few dollars to a site like Day Translations or Fancy Hands. It will be easier once you have the text in front of you. What you want to avoid next is simply repeating the interview – that's what the transcript is for.
The key here is to pick up on the most important points of the interview and create articles out of those. If your customer talks about the benefits of magnesium, or the fact that her baby's skin allergies never appear when wearing your clothing, then develop those topics. Something like – "Why Magnesium Is So Good for Your Body" and "What Causes Baby Allergies and How They Can Be Avoided". Give me a little longer and I'll write the articles for you!
Don't just copy the first paragraph of your article, paste and add "read more". That's a really lazy way of catching people's attention. Also, you'll be linking to your article and the first few sentences will show up anyway. Instead, think about writing a short description for your post or an eye-catching title (different from the one in the link).
The jury's out on how long your Facebook posts should be, with some experts recommending as little as 40 characters. The key is to mixing your posts up. You won't always link to a blog article. You won't always talk about promotions. You won't always post or share a humorous meme.
The best way is to keep it varied and use your mothership content source for inspiration.If you're really feeling creative, check out how to make an animated GIF. Almost all inspiring quotes or the animated GIFs you see on socialwere derived from bigger pieces of content. When you start milking your content for all it's worth you can become a content marketing machine in no time. Freeing up your time to work on running your business, hangingout with your friends, or maybe even taking a vacation.

As someone who has followed the web and technology landscape for the last 15 years, I have noticed that the companies which have proven dominant are those that demonstrate what I would call a network mindset. By which I mean, they grok the emergent properties of network effects, and use that to establish a dominant position that is remarkably hard to replicate.
For example, Amazon has, from the beginning, tracked user behavior in order to 'get smarter,' providing recommendations based on not just your purchase behavior, but the behavior of people like you. Google's key insight was leveraging the connections people made between web pages (links) and extrapolating importance and relevance. Facebook has utilized the "social graph" to create a service with more uniquely identified users than anything else on the planet. The only reason eBay is even still around today is the genius of the idea of connecting buyer and seller over the network, creating a marketplace that no one has yet been quite able to topple.
One company has conspicuously stood apart from the others: Apple. While Apple was the first company to bring computer networking to the "rest of us," they've been surprisingly disinterested in leveraging emergent network effects in their products and services. They're attempts at engaging social behavior (Ping and GameCenter) are laughable. The iTunes Store doesn't seem to learn the way that Amazon does. Apple's success has been delivering products that delight, but have never had a product that adapts and learns and grows with you.
If Apple is able to exploit emergent network effects the way that the other dominant players have, and combine that with their unparalleled user experience, well, watch out.

All it takes to fix them is uninstalling and re-installing the non-working miniport, but unfortunately there is no easy way to do it. Miniports can't be deleted/uninstalled, and their drivers are hidden from the user, so even re-installing them isn't easy.
To do this, DO NOT edit the registries. There are number of other registry keys that depend on the miniports being present, and it is super easy to completely break the network stack, to a point where the base network card driver won't work. (If you did this already, let's hope your system has restore points – you can restore to previous snapshot and try doing it the non-registry way outlined there.) When doing this, take a note of the miniports that you are removing, you'll need to know this later when reinstalling.
Right click on the non-working miniport, choose "Update Driver".
In the next window, choose "Let me pick driver from a list".
Back in the device manager, delete the device that just turned into the "MAC Bridge Miniport" device.
Once done removing the bad miniports, reboot. Don't skip this, it's important. Otherwise there is a change things will go bad again.
For each miniport that you have previously uninstalled, execute the command outlined below. DO NOT run all of them or run the command twice, as that will create second version of the existing miniport, which can cause problems again.
If running the command reports "driver install" failure, don't pay much attention to it, it usually does. The only problem is when it complains about the inf file missing, or a missing class (in which case you most likely made a typo in the last part of the command).
Once done, reboot. Again, this is necessary. You can go to device manager and scan for new devices and some of the miniports will show up, but some will have wrong names and won't work properly without a reboot.
That's it, you should have working miniports again. If you had a VPN connection created while the miniports were still bad, you will most likely need to delete it, and re-create it. Otherwise, things should be back to normal. Enjoy.

The history of IPROTec is based on the development, design and construction of machines for glass production. With the constant further development of the regional glass industry the company grew into an efficient producer of systems and machines on this field. We were able to further expand our technical competence in the mechanical and plant engineering sector for the glass industry. Together with Schott Zwiesesl we have developed a great number of patents in the field of (drinking) glass products. As a result, we are able to produce complete manufacturing plants for you.
24 Stations Blowing machine for highest bowl quality. Individual number of stations due to the customers needs. We can realize machines with 4 - 32 stations and with 4 - 60 pcs./min output.
Fully automatic machine for separating the moil. The Laser-Filament-Cutting Machine is developed for separating the moil of stemware and tumblers with a perfect quality of the cutting surface without any grinding. Due to this a washing and drying process is not necessary at all. The new technology delivers highest rim quality even for difficult shapes like Martini Glasses. Due to this you have a higher yield compared to standard process.

You're On Notice, Dawg! Week 6
"Life IS pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something" - A very smart man
By vineyarddawg Oct 4, 2015, 12:38pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: You're On Notice, Dawg! Week 6
Well... that happened.
First, let's get one thing straight: Everybody is on notice today. After such a widely-publicized disaster of the highest magnitude, this is the only option. Every single coach on the team and every single player on the team (even the ones who didn't play a snap) are on notice. The band is on notice, the administrators are on notice. Even the fans are on notice. Yes, that means you. Even if you're not a UGA fan and are reading this article for purely for purposes of schadenfreude, you, sir or ma'am, are on notice this week.
The only good thing about yesterday's game is that its over. And the only good thing we can hold up today as a tiny beacon of light in the darkness that surrounds us is that there is another game this Saturday. This wasn't a crushing defeat at the end of the season that we are forced to stew upon for weeks or months before another game. We have another game this Saturday, a game versus the Tennessee Volunteers in Neyland Stadium that in many ways is even more important than yesterday's game.
In spite of the horror movie we were all forced to watch yesterday, literally every single one of this team's goals for the season is still achievable if we can get our house back in order and get the train back on the tracks over the next 6 days. Therefore, even though I remind you that literally everybody is on notice, I'm going to single out the following individuals and tell them that, for week 6, You're On Notice, Dawg!
In no particular order:
1) Steve Spurrier - Why Steve Spurrier? Because he hates us, we hate him, and because I have it from a very authoritative source inside the South Carolina administration that he flew into Sanford Stadium at halftime yesterday just to be "part of the excitement."
2) People who think our season is over, and we should just bench all the seniors and play all the freshmen to "build for the future" from here on out - Look, this was the fifth game of the season. We got blown out, but it still our first loss, and it was to a western division opponent. If we can beat Tennessee this weekend, we'll still be in the driver's seat for the eastern division title. If we can win out, we'll make it to the SEC Championship Game. And if we win the championship game to emerge as the SEC champion with 1 loss, we have about a 95% chance of being selected for the CFB playoff. And once you're in the playoff, anything can happen.
We literally have all of our goals still in front of us. Nobody's asking anyone to feel good about where we are now, because that would be ludicrous. Of course you're still mad, despondent, and possibly still hungover. We all are. (I somehow have a hangover this morning in spite of not drinking a single drop of alcohol at all yesterday.) But let's take a half-step back and realize that the world has not yet ended. No goal has gone by the wayside because we faceplanted in the one game where we couldn't afford to even stumble a little bit.
3) The offensive line - Most of our bloggers are in transit today after attending the game in person last night, so this post is going up early and I haven't had a chance to re-watch the game on DVR yet. But to my naked eyeballs on Saturday, it looked like our offensive line got manhandled in exactly the fashion the Alabama faithful predicted they would.
This is deeply disconcerting, because our offensive line is one of the biggest strengths of our team. It is literally the most experience-laden, senior-heavy position group we have on the field, and they got pushed around like they were a I-AA team. They did slightly better in pass protection than in run blocking, but even then, the pockets around Lambert and Ramsey were 5-7 yards back from the line of scrimmage virtually every single time. We were getting blown off the ball, and that's as bad as it gets from a "they neutralized our strength" standpoint.
If we want to pick up the pieces and move forward, the offensive line will have to be at the forefront of that. We cannot afford to have that happen ever again this season.
4) People who want to fire (anybody) after this game - My favorite overreaction to any bad loss is when people immediately want to fire Mark Richt/Brian Schottenheimer/Greg McGarity/Jere Morehead/the Pope after a bad game. What, exactly, would be accomplished by firing our head coach or either of our coordinators after a single bad loss? I will grant that this is a fair discussion to have at the end of the season... but for god's sake, man, we lost one game. Let's see how it plays out from here before we roll out the guillotines.
5) Pass defense - We did a pretty effective job of stopping the run on Saturday. Just like Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry was always going to get his yards, and the focus was always to contain the damage that he did. For the most part, I think we did ok with this. Derrick Henry did get 148 yards, but he only broke 1 long run and only got 1 TD. By comparison, Nick Chubb had almost that same stat line: 146 yards with 1 TD and 1 long run. No, our breakdown was in the pass defense and in covering the players that weren't the stars. We let Jacob Coker get 190 yards through the air, and though he only got 1 passing TD, their passing game was what kept opening up the field for the Tide.
Tennessee is another team that relies on the run, and we will have to keep them from sneaking up on us in the passing game to have any hope of winning. The Vols come into this game with the 3rd-best rushing offense in the conference (averaging 225 yards/game) and just the 11th-ranked passing offense (193 yards/game). I feel confident that we can stop the run if we play up to our abilities, but we have got to find a way to keep the Vols from springing players downfield like the Tide did to us yesterday.
6) Punting - Good lord, this had the real potential to be called the "Punt Georgia Punt" game. First, there's the obvious blocked punt that resulted in Alabama's second touchdown and stretched the score to 17-3 when the game was still in reach with 4:48 left in the 2nd quarter. But Collin Barber lapsed back into that rugby punting thing several times, and none of those rugby-style punts as far as his standard punts go. We were frequently punting from deep in our own territory, when a good punter would have an opportunity to bang it deep and pin the opponent back, but Barber never did that. I just don't know what's broken with our punting game, but it's not good. We will never win a field-position game if we're relying on this punting game to do it for us.
(And I haven't even started on the decisions by Schottenheimer to punt when we're inside the opponent's 40 yard line, because that's not the punter's fault... he's just doing what he's asked to do. But WHY ARE YOU PUNTING FROM THE DAMN 38 YARD LINE? Even if it's 4th and 10 and we only get 5 yards on the play, you're still giving it back to them at the 33, and that's not a bad trade-off for the times when you might make a 4th down conversion. But I digress...)
7) A QB controversy - I know Mark Richt said in his postgame remarks that they were going to "start from scratch" on the QB competition, but let's be honest. The only quarterback competition is whether Faton Bauta needs to be our #2 instead of Brice Ramsey. Greyson Lambert was not very effective on Saturday, but at least he didn't throw an abjectly horrible pick 6. Lambert is, and should be, our starting quarterback. Once Jacob Eason comes on campus in January, then we'll have a competition once again for the starting QB role. Until then... the issue is settled in my mind.
8) Toughness - To be honest, Alabama wasn't really that much better than us for large stretches of the game. Throughout the first quarter and the vast majority of the second, we stood toe-to-to with the Tide, absorbing their best shots and giving them our own. The problem came when they got their big body-blow on us with that blocked punt TD. After that, it seemed like everything just fell apart for about a quarter and a half. We crumbled under the pressure, and by the time we got our feet back under us, the score was 38-3 and the game was effectively over.
As Pat Dye might have said if this were 2002, Georgia just wasn't "man enough" to beat Alabama. We were not capable of absorbing a hit from them and bouncing back with one of our own. That game is over, and there's nothing we can now do about it, but have we shown other teams in the SEC that we're not "man enough" to stand up and fight back once we've taken a solid hit in the mouth? This is a question we're going to have to find an answer to quickly, because Tennessee has a habit of starting fast and hitting hard, and we will have to be as tough as we pretend to be if we're going to win this game.
That's all for this week, Dawg fans. Lick your wounds, visit the NSFW thread and vent if you need to, but take a cue from our coaches and players and try to move on. All of our season goals are still in front of us, but none of them will be there any longer if we don't bounce back from the crushing defeat and take care of business in Knoxville six days hence.
The Tennessee Volunteers are waiting for us, and they smell blood. We have to prove that we're "man enough" to take their best shot and given it right back to them. Let's support our Dawgs and let them know that we're behind them all the way.
Go Dawgs!
(P.S. One final note: The NSFW thread is over there. Not here. All the normal rules and regulations are in effect from this post forward. Thank you for your consideration.)

Doncaster Teen Murder "Random Attack"
Casey Kearney called an ambulance for herself after being attacked in Elmfield Park yesterday afternoon.
She was treated at the scene by police and paramedics before being rushed to Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed last night she had died from her injuries and a murder investigation has been launched.
A 26-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of serious assault and remains in police custody.
Doncaster council say the woman being questioned is known to a number of different agencies.
A member of staff at the nearby Earl of Doncaster Hotel, who declined to give his name, said the park had been cordoned off by officers, who had also come in to speak to the general manager about the incident.
The whole of Elmfield Park remained sealed off and blue police tape could be seen attached to railings and trees.
Members of the public were not allowed into the park and police community support officers stood positioned at various locations.


Interest in Housing | Efficient Wealth Management Inc.
Don't miss our previous article where we break down the findings and recommendations of the Ontario Ministry of Finance report on Financial Planning and Advisory practices.
I usually like to make these articles about something that is not being talked about enough such as high investment fees, patience in investing and good financial planning. However this month I am going to talk about something that everyone is talking about, the high prices of housing.
First off, let's get it out of the way, I have no idea whether prices are headed up or down in the short term or long term. These prices are driven by three basic things: low interest rates, supply, and greed. Demand is a fourth, but demand is steady and present thus somewhat normal. Sure, overseas demand is contributing but outsiders are certainly not alone in paying these very high prices. The last 18 months have mostly been a story of conflict between supply and greed. This current game is being played out on top of the foundation of overall low interest rates.
Economic theory tells us that a shortage of supply will cause prices to rise; then trigger an excess supply which will result in normalizing prices again. So why has that not worked yet? Prices just keep rising faster and faster. Well the answer must be in the supply. Within Toronto and Vancouver, supply is constrained by geography and government. Think of Toronto's greenbelt. Most major empty areas left within are already under planning or building. The markets for most commodities are forward thinking and if the shortage is coming, prices will rise now and not later at the time of the final shortage. This shortage is seen as extensive, and with no answers in sight, prices started rising fast. And then came the greed. Often supply is met by people choosing to sell and leave the market. Currently you will find many potential sellers hanging in. Why? Price increases have been so dramatic that individuals see that the way to even greater wealth is to hang on and not sell yet. Waiting one more year to sell has been bringing 15 to 25% extra. This greed has caused the shortage to be extreme and with supply from building constrained by time and location, prices have zoomed beyond any economic models.
We must not forget that all of this game is being played on top of low interest rates. Low rates make money cheap with interest as its inherent cost. As a result, the low interest rates allow ALL asset prices to rise. It is not just housing, though it may feel that way because of the supply versus greed struggle. Stocks are expensive, bonds are very expensive, businesses to buy are expensive and in fact almost anything you want to buy has been made easier by cheap money. So whether it be houses, stocks, cars or washing machines it is easier to buy them even at higher prices.
I have many clients telling me that their children cannot afford houses. When I point out that it is easier for their kids to pay a million dollars for a home or 2 and ½ times the $400,000 home they may have bought in the past, they are incredulous. It is interest rates. At 10 to 12% interest, we paid mostly interest each year. Over the life of the typical 30 year mortgage, we paid 2 and 1/2 times what we bought the house for. It was a great incentive to pay your mortgage faster and get rid of it. Today's 2.5% rates mean most of a new purchasers payments goes to principal. Over the life of their mortgage, they will only pay an extra 20 to 25% of the value of their home. Not the 250% extra you paid. Therefore, there is not much of an incentive to pay the mortgage faster.
The next thing not considered by most people I talk to is, whether they are actually better off selling their home for $1 million, retiring and investing their money to help support their lifestyle. If they were selling their home for $400,000 it would be because interest rates were much higher. $400,000 invested at 5%, which was historically easy to get on a five year GIC, would yield $20,000 income to spend. That new million dollars will struggle to deliver $20,000 safely today. All investment returns will be lower going forward if interest rates remain low. So are you better off selling at a higher price if your investment of those funds produces no more?
So let's summarize. Our kids can afford these homes, if interest rates stay low. They can acquire all the things they will need for their families if interest rates stay low. You are no better off than an investor with less capital if interest rates stay low. Stocks need not go down, houses need not go down, bonds need not go down, if interest rates stay low. So do not let the conversations about high housing prices steer your focus away. Pay attention to interest rates and where they may or may not go. They are the entire story currently. Housing prices are a symptom not the disease. Encourage your children to work hard to get rid of their mortgage, just like you did. Encourage them to save before buying, just like you did. Do not have them fear the purchase of a home, but do everything they can to mitigate the effect of a change in interest rates. If interest rates stay low over the long term and there is ample reason to believe they can buy, then our children are not stupid to consider buying a house on the next big pull back when it comes. Lastly remember, if interest rates stay low for a long time, higher housing prices may not have made it any easier to enjoy our retirement, unless after a sale you are willing to take the risk of spending your capital not just the interest.

18 Book-To-Movie Adaptations Arriving In Theaters In 2019
December 26, 2018 by Kathryn Schroeder
Every book that's been adapted into a movie for 2019
Movies are great to experience the imagination of someone else come to life. Books can make your own imagination swim with ideas. With book-to-movie adaptations, things can get wild.
Hollywood loves adapting books into movies. Sometimes they are hits, like Crazy Rich Asians, and other times not so much, like Ready Player One. In 2019, the slate of book-to-movie adaptations is vast, and there's something for every genre lover. Whether you prefer to see a movie before you read the book it's based upon or, like me, want to dig into the book before its adaptation hits theaters, consider this your go-to source for book-to-movie adaptations in 2019.
And best to get started early bookworms because the first book-to-movie adaptation of 2019 hits theaters in January.

Genre: Thriller, Action, Mystery
Movie Release Date: February 22
The producers of the James Bond series are behind the book-to-movie adaptation of The Rhythm Section, book one in the Stephanie Patrick series. They know how to assemble a cast and crew, and Burnell wrote the screenplay, so this may be another win for a novel becoming a movie in 2019.

Director: Doug Liman
Cast: Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Cynthia Erivo, Mads Mikkelsen
Screenwriters: Charlie Kaufman, Lindsey Beer, John Lee Hancock, Gary Spinelli, Patrick Ness

There are a lot of cooks in the writing kitchen for Chaos Walking, but we shouldn't let that dissuade us from hitting theaters to see this book-to-movie adaptation that, if it follows the book as it should, features a great twist.

After the massive success of Lady Bird, it's a bit off for Greta Gerwig to choose a classic, been done so many times story for her next film. She's done it anyway. Little Women is a book-to-movie adaptation we've seen many times but perhaps Gerwig can put a modern spin on it we haven't seen before.
16. The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Movie Title: Call of the Wild
The story: A sled dog must survive in the Alaskan wild.
Director: Chris Sanders
Screenwriter: Michael Green
Cast: Karen Gillan, Dan Stevens, Harrison Ford, Wes Brown

London's classic gets the book-to-movie adaptation with a live-action/CGI-animation hybrid. Should be interesting!
17 - 18. Comic Book-to-Movie Adaptations in 2019
There isn't one book in a comic book series that will give you all the information you need to watch the movie, in theory, but that doesn't mean you can't dive in anyways to these comic books being made into movies for the first time in 2019.
That does it for the books being made into movies for 2019. Happy reading!

When it comes to picking up Spanish, Nosara really isn't the easiest place to learn. The sheer number of well educated Costa Rican residents equipped with near perfect English language skills often means that the opportunity to practice is far less than in many other Costa Rican and Central American locations. When trying to practice their most recently memorized verb conjugations and grammar, after realizing the local person they are communicating with speak perfect English, many visitors get frustrated and for the sake of convenience, revert back to their native tongue.
Although this saves time, and is less likely to lead to confusion, becoming a proficient speaker of Spanish can change and enhance ones Costa Rica experience dramatically. If that doesn't rank as a sufficient source of motivation, here's a list of other amazing attributes that learning Spanish, or indeed any other language can bring. In addition to making your Costa Rica experience more pleasurable, a little perseverance, study and practice can also provide you with the following benefits.
The brain is a muscle, plain and simple. Like any muscle, flexing it to the max requires exercise. The memorizing of rules, vocabulary and structure required to learn a foreign is the perfect workout to increase memory capacity. Studies have shown that bilingual people are better at remembering lists, sequences, patterns, directions, names and much more.
A 2015 study from a Spanish University revealed that multilingual individuals are far better equipped at observing and absorbing their surroundings than their monolingual counterparts. When it comes to processing information they are also far more adept at being able to separate the relevant from the irrelevant. Somehow, according to the study, these skills also make them able to sniff out misleading information and enhance their detective skills.
When you learn another language certain neurological pathways that have lain dormant suddenly come alive and begin processing previously unrecognized information. The net result is increased cognitive functioning which can add value in everything from basic problem solving, to planning, negotiation and more.
Multilingual individuals, particularly children, are experts are flipping back and forth between different patterns of speech, structure, and writing. Logically, it follows that this ability to juggle between various modes of thinking overlaps into all areas of cognitive functioning, thus making them great multitaskers who can go from one thing to the next with little preparation.
Although learning a foreign language sounds like an odd method of boosting ones powers of articulation and verbal presentation, many studies have proven that this is indeed the case. Foreign language studies force one to concentrate on grammar, conjugations, and sentence structure, which in turn boosts ones awareness of the countless ways in which language can be manipulated to infer meaning. In addition to making you a better speaker, writer, and editor, studies have shown it will also make you a far better listener.
Crazy as to may seem, the results of countless studies consistently indicate that the first signs of dementia and Alzheimers occurs in monolingual individuals at a younger age than in those who speak two or more languages.
We've already talked about how learning a foreign language can improve memory, multi tasking, and much more. The net result of this, which is confirmed by a study from the university of Chicago, is that bilingual people tend to make far more rational decisions, and are better equipped to weigh up the positive and negative factors in a more balanced, unbiased manner in both languages. This has the knock on effect of making multilinguals more confident in their choices, and thus happier in general.
If you want to start learning some phrases in Spanish to survive your first days in Nosara, here are some that you will probably hear as soon as you touch tico ground.

Notes on theatre performances since 2006
War Horse – January 2008
Jan25 by sheilajtheatre
By: Michael Morpurgo (novel) adapted by Nick Stafford
Directed by: Marianne Elliot
Venue: Olivier Theatre
Date: Thursday 24th January 2008
Although I enjoyed this production, I probably found it less good than some of the reports we'd heard, mainly because our expectations were higher than usual. The horse puppets were indeed fantastic, and I certainly cried at the end, but our distance from the stage meant we weren't as involved as we normally like to be. I had hoped that the size of the production would carry that far back, but I did miss seeing the actor's expressions clearly. Another reminder that we like to get up close and personal with the action, though preferably not within soaking range.
The set was sparse and effective. At first, I thought the strip of white, torn paper across the centre of the stage was actually in front of a curtain of some sort. As the action progressed, I realised the stage was open to the back, and the way this strip was lit made it seem to be floating in the air. It also allowed for scenes to be projected onto it, giving us information on the time and place of each scene, and showing some shadow puppeteering for the action that couldn't be fitted onto the stage. The floor had the revolve painted up as streaks and patches of brown and grey. This very effectively suggested furrows, mud, rutted paths, and probably a few other things as well. A bit of this decoration spilled over to the rest of the stage, which was otherwise plain black floorboards running front to back. I noticed what seemed like a forked tree trunk in the shadows to our left – this turned out to be a plough – and to our right were a couple of boxes. Doors, carts, wagons, and even a tank were brought on as needed.
The key to this whole production has to be the marvellous puppet work. Apart from the horses themselves, there was a goose, running around, pecking at the ground and hissing at people, several birds flying across the sky at different times, a young girl in occupied France who makes friends with the horses, and a rather nasty crow who shows an unpleasant interest in the corpses littering the place. But the horses were spectacular. Full sized puppets, with two men inside them working the legs with hand controls, and another chap at the head, giving them life and movement. They were rarely still, always shifting and nosing at things, as horses do, and even though I could see the person working the head, it was easy to forget that and just see the horses.
I did find it a bit more confusing when Joey, the star of the show, was a foal. He was so small that there were three people working him from the outside, and as they were dressed the same as the actors, I did find it hard to tell sometimes whether they were people holding the horse or non-existent puppeteers. This was especially true at the horse market, with lots of folk milling around. However, we soon got past that, and seeing actors actually riding these magnificent puppets was quite amazing. It was particularly sad when we got to the later stages of the war and some of the horses were bags of bone, dying as they tried to pull the guns from place to place. It was heartbreaking to see them die.
It was certainly a sad story, and I fully expected Albert to find Joey just as he was breathing his last – a truly sad ending. I was surprised when this animal actually managed to survive, despite the hard work, the lack of food and all the other hardships, but then the story is aimed at children. The basic plot is that Joey is bought as a foal by a farmer who's in competition with his more successful brother-in-law. He spends all the mortgage money on him, and his son, Albert, trains the horse up so they can sell him. Albert and Joey get on really well, and then Albert finds out that his silly father has bet that Joey will plough a strip of land by a particular Sunday – I forget what it was called. As Joey is more suited to riding than ploughing, no one expects him to win, but Albert keeps working with him (he has a whole week, after all!), and sure enough, Joey manages it, just. Thinking Joey's now safe, and his, Albert lets his guard down, and his father then sells Joey off to the army as a cavalry horse, just in time for him to be shipped off to France for WWI. We then see Joey's story, as he gets to meet Topthorn, the other horse in the story, and they're ridden in a cavalry charge, only to have their riders shot off the top of them. The horses then wander round the battlefield, until a German cavalry officer finds them, and recognising their quality does his best to protect them. The opportunity comes when horses are wanted to pull an ambulance cart. At first, it doesn't look like Topthorn will handle the harness, but Joey remembers it from his ploughing days, and volunteers. Topthorn then joins in, and the cavalry officer takes advantage of this and a later opportunity to take on the identity of a dead ambulance man, to keep the horses safe on a farm over the winter.
By this time, Albert has joined up, thinking he'll be joining the cavalry regiment and be able to find Joey, only he's sidetracked into the infantry, and gets caught up in the fighting. Joey and Topthorn are taken back into service pulling the German artillery, and eventually Topthorn dies. Joey survives, and wanders over the battlefield, until he gets caught up in some barbed wire in no-man's land (OK, I was crying by this time). The German and British soldiers have a temporary truce to try to recover him; the British soldier wins the coin-toss, and takes him back to their lines, but he's badly injured. Albert has taken a shell-blast and is temporarily blinded, and both he and Joey end up at the same medical station. As the medical staff are declaring that they can't treat the horse, Albert is talking with his mate, and Joey recognises his voice, and I can't go on, I can't see the keys for the tears…..
(Several tissues later…) Well, it all ends happily, as I said before, and if it hadn't been so sad, I think I would have enjoyed it more. I accept it's a sad subject, and I don't expect it to be tarted up, but maybe I just wasn't in the mood for something so powerful. I'm still glad I saw it, and some of the images will stay with me for a long time.
One other thing to mention was that much of the Germans' dialogue was in German, without surtitles. A bit confusing, but nicely realistic, especially as one of the German officers was suspicious of his colleagues who spoke in English.
At the end, all the puppeteers came on as themselves to begin with, and after taking the first bows, they dashed off. I was hoping they'd come back on as the horses, and they did, rearing up, and taking their bows beautifully. I still feel like I've seen actual horses on stage. This was a masterpiece in many ways, and I hope they can find some other way to use these magnificent puppets again.

Maternal health in resource-poor urban settings: how does women's autonomy influence the utilization of obstetric care services?
Fotso JC1, Ezeh AC, Essendi H.
African Population and Health Research Center, Nairobi, Kenya. jcfotso@aphrc.org
Despite various international efforts initiated to improve maternal health, more than half a million women worldwide die each year as a result of complications arising from pregnancy and childbirth. This research was guided by the following questions: 1) How does women's autonomy influence the choice of place of delivery in resource-poor urban settings? 2) Does its effect vary by household wealth? and 3) To what extent does women's autonomy mediate the relationship between women's education and use of health facility for delivery?
The data used is from a maternal health study carried out in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. A total of 1,927 women (out of 2,482) who had a pregnancy outcome in 2004-2005 were selected and interviewed. Seventeen variable items on autonomy were used to construct women's decision-making, freedom of movement, and overall autonomy. Further, all health facilities serving the study population were assessed with regard to the number, training and competency of obstetric staff; services offered; physical infrastructure; and availability, adequacy and functional status of supplies and other essential equipment for safe delivery, among others. A total of 25 facilities were surveyed.
While household wealth, education and demographic and health covariates had strong relationships with place of delivery, the effects of women's overall autonomy, decision-making and freedom of movement were rather weak. Among middle to least poor households, all three measures of women's autonomy were associated with place of delivery, and in the expected direction; whereas among the poorest women, they were strong and counter-intuitive. Finally, the study showed that autonomy may not be a major mediator of the link between education and use of health services for delivery.
The paper argues in favor of broad actions to increase women's autonomy both as an end and as a means to facilitate improved reproductive health outcomes. It also supports the call for more appropriate data that could further support this line of action. It highlights the need for efforts to improve households' livelihoods and increase girls' schooling to alter perceptions of the value of skilled maternal health care.

Gout is a kind of arthritis, and arthritis is a prevalent physical condition, which causes pain and swelling in the joints. Gout is believed to be a chronic disease, signifying it would usually last your entire life. The ailment comes on suddenly, and sometimes with severe attacks, which is also known as flares. During a gouty attack, an individual may have redness, swelling and pain in their joints. Often, gout attacks occur in big toe. To alleviate the pain of gout, order Tramadol online, a synthetic opioid pain drug frequently prescribed for treatment of mild to chronic distress. The medication relieves pain by halting the signals from the nerves to brain.
When gout is uncomplicated, infrequent and mild, it could be treated with lifestyle changes and diet. However, studies have demonstrated that even the most stringent diet does not reduce the level of serum uric acid to restraint severe gout, and thus medicines are generally necessary. Keep in mind that when gouty attacks are frequent, tophi are present, kidney stones have developed from accumulation of uric acid, or there is proof of damage to joint from gout attacks, medicines are usually used to decrease the level of uric acid blood.
To control gout attacks properly, order Tramadol online overnight through a trusted e-medical store after obtaining requisite approval from a medical practitioner. The typical recommended dose is 50-100mg for fast-acting tablets. This dosage should be taken 2 to 3 times daily every five to six hours as required. The maximum daily potency will be 400mg. To improve tolerance in patients, the dose should begin from 25mg a day. Later, the potency may be raised by 25-50mg every three days.
Generally, drugs for the overall treatment of gout fall into 1 of 3 categories: prophylactic drugs, uric-acid-lowering medicines, and rescue medications in order to provide instant relief from pain of gout. Urate-lowering drugs are the main treatment for gout. Urate-lowering medicines decrease the level of serum uric acid and total quantity of uric acid in human body. For the majority of patients, the objective of uric-acid-lowering drug is to attain a level of serum uric acid, which is less than 5mg/dl.
On the other hand, patients can order Tramadol online overnight shipping once they have received permission from their healthcare expert. To fend off tolerance, withdrawal symptoms and side effects, always consume the prescribed potencies on time as instructed by a medico.

Dr. Manmohan Singh Launches KTS Tulsis Mother – Late Baljit Kaur Tulsis Poetry Collection
The alumni of PG Govt. College, Sector 11, Chandigarh got together at the book launch of Late Mrs. Baljit Kaur Tulsi, mother of Member of Parliament Shri KTS Tulsi (who is also an alumnus of the college) at his residence. The book titled 'Aao Sakhi'- a collection of selected poems on feminism was launched by the Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Former Chief Justice of India graced the occasion as the Guest of Honor. The event was attended by prominent alumni of the PG Govt. College, Sector 11, Chandigarh including Vineet Nanda, Navneet Soni, Sukhjit Dhiman, Jawahar Sarin, Surinder Rathi and Ashish Anand.
Sukhjit Dhiman. Ashish Anand, Dr. Manmohan Singh, Vineet Nanda, Navneet Soni, BS Nanda, Bhai Baldeep Singh & KTS Tulsi
Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said on the occasion, "I would like to congratulate all the members of the Tulsi family on bringing out a wonderful book of selected poems by Sardarni Baljit Kaur Tulsi. The book brings out that the times have changed and will further change towards women. She is a great example of a strong woman."
The entire Tulsi family including KTS Tulsi's elder brother Ravi Tejpal Singh Tulsi was present at the launch along with other prominent personalities – Prof. Vanita Manchanda, Assistant Professor, SGTB Khalsa College who recited few of the poems penned by Late Mrs. Kaur; Ajit Cour who is a Padma Shree Awardee and recipient of Sahitya Academy Award as well as eminent writer and poet, Taranjit Kaur along with Tamanpreet Kaur, HK Dua – Diplomat, former MP and former editor of leading media publications.
Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Former Chief Justice of India (also a PGGC Alumnus) shared, "It has been a pleasure listening to poetry which takes one into a different world." Khehar spoke about the Tulsi family and Late Mrs. Baljit Kaur Tulsi and how she was not allowed to go outside the house after sunset. "In protest she would lock herself in a room and I presume this is what encouraged her to become a great poetess. Her poems were so remarkable that Rabindranath Tagore himself appreciated her poems," he added.
"We take pride in our Alumni friends & family. When Mr. KTS Tulsi told us of the book launch, the Delhi Chapter had to be there! Was a pleasure to meet Justice Khehar our alumnus and also Manmohan Singh jee," says Vineet Nanda, President, Delhi Chapter of the Alumni Association and President, Ready to move-in Residences at M3M India, one of the leading real estate developers of Delhi NCR.
Famous Sufi poet and singer Rabbi Shergill added flavor to the evening by reciting a few of his famous songs including 'Bula ki jana main kaun' which is dedicated to his father.
Shri KTS Tulsi thanked the gathering and said, "I would like to thank everyone for spending the evening with us and I am grateful to Dr. Manmohan Singh who is the reason that this book became a reality. It was his order that the entire project began and has been accomplished."


Alzheimer's can prevent seniors from enjoying activities that require planning or reasoning skills. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of activities that may bring them joy while stimulating their creativity, memory, and senses. Here are six activities appropriate for aging adults with Alzheimer's.
Sensory stimulation can be therapeutic for seniors with Alzheimer's. It can bring up old memories, soothe them when they feel anxious, and give them a deeper connection with the external world. At-home spa activities are a popular form of sensory stimulation for seniors with Alzheimer's. Try giving your loved one a hand massage with fragrant oils or lotions, or soak his or her feet in a scented footbath.
While seniors with Alzheimer's may have difficulty understanding the plot of a movie or the flow of a conversation, they often retain the ability to process music. Beloved songs can elicit long buried memories and lift their spirits. Create a playlist of your loved one's favorite songs and play it whenever he or she needs an emotional boost. Encourage your loved one to sing along if possible.
For seniors in the early and middle stages of the disease, doing simple household tasks can give them a sense of accomplishment and independence. Have your loved one fold towels, wipe wet dishes dry, and set the table. Household chores can also double as mental stimulation. Ask your loved one to sort socks, mail, or silverware.
When seniors can maintain their favorite hobbies, it can be very fulfilling. Adjust your loved one's former interests to his or her current abilities. If your loved one used to garden, give him or her a few indoor plants to care for. If he or she enjoyed oil painting, watercolors may be a suitable substitute. Crossword lovers may appreciate a simple jigsaw puzzle, and knitters can braid yarn or cord.
Some older adults may have difficulty managing physical tasks such as gardening and knitting. An in-home caregiver can assist with these activities and much more. Seniors who want to remain healthy as they age can benefit in a variety of ways when they receive professional home care. Montgomery, AL, Home Care Assistance is here to help your loved one accomplish daily tasks, prevent illness, and focus on living a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Seniors with Alzheimer's may find it challenging to follow the steps of a recipe, but they can help out with simple baking tasks. Select an easy cookie recipe with minimal ingredients, and then have your loved one perform simple activities like sifting, stirring, and scooping. Decorating the cookies can also be fun. Give your loved one a brightly colored selection of sprinkles and sugar, and let him or her decorate each batch of cookies.
Seniors often enjoy interacting with pets because they provide uncomplicated affection and comfort. Take your loved one to visit the pet of a friend or family member, or contact a local therapy dog service and inquire about home visits. Seniors may also have fun taking a trip to a local aquarium or zoo, as they provide plenty of visual and auditory stimulation.
In-home caregivers are available to help seniors with Alzheimer's disease remain healthy and active while aging in place. When considering elderly care, Montgomery, AL, families should make sure their senior loved ones have the resources they need to maintain their independence and remain healthy. Trusted in-home care professionals can assist seniors with daily tasks like cooking, bathing, and exercise, and they can also encourage them to focus on healthier lifestyle habits. Call one of our knowledgeable Care Managers today at (334) 593-3988 if you'd like to learn more about our premier home care and schedule a free consultation.
