Shanghai Bobby's first-crop yearlings made a big splash at the recent US sales and the brilliant juvenile's only offering at Tattersalls this week was also in demand. Out of the Giant's Causeway mare Thousandfold, the colt realised 240,000gns ($306,000) when offered from the Cashman family's Co Cork-based Rathbarry Stud. Thousandfold had been bought carrying the colt for $130,000 at the 2014 Keeneland November Sale by John Tyrrell of BBA Ireland. Irish breeeze-up king Willie Browne signed the buyer's ticket but reported that his purchase was heading beck across the Atlantic to be reoffered next year by Ciaran Dunne. "He has been bought on behalf of Ciaran Dunne's Wavertree Stables to breeze in the US, I wish he was coming to me," said Browne. "I saw a lot of the sire's stock in Keeneland - they are very nice and he is very typical. "They might be pulling together an ownership syndicate and I hope I can be involved too." Paul Cashman of Rathbarry Stud added: "He was a big, strong imposing colt with good limbs, a great attitude and a real easy walk. He ticked all the boxes and is exactly the type of horse you'd want - they're just hard to come by. We're lucky to have had a horse like that." Shanghai Bobby's first crop made up to $575,000 at Keeneland in September.

HuffPo Cries Uncle in NYT 'Parentlode' Spat
The Huffington Post has publicly- and passive-aggressively- ceded the name for its new parenting channel, announcing to readers that it never really wanted the "Parentlode" moniker for its new vertical in the people-with-kids arena.
In case you missed it, HuffPo poached a few of the New York Times' writers, one of which authored the Gray Lady's parenting blog, punnily-titled "Motherlode." As if that wasn't a kick in the shin for the paper as it struggles to cement a web presence to rival its print dominance, the newly-acquired writer was announced along with a channel on HuffPo dubbed "Parentlode." Predictably, the Times kicked up a bit of a fuss, and lawyers for the paper said to Huffington in a letter:
"While we are flattered by your focus on our blog and your apparent fondness for its name, we obviously cannot permit you to adopt a name whose sole purpose is to create an association in the minds of readers with our 'Motherlode' blog."
A lawsuit followed the letter from the Times' lawyers in early November. Belkin announced late last week that the Huffington Post was dropping their end of the tug-o-war rope in a post dripping with snark, one in which she says "Parentlode" was a name the HuffPo "frankly… never really loved." She seems to think the Times has no real claim to the name, is insulted about the cease-and-desist letter that greeted her maiden effort for HuffPo, and sniffs:
Things can get petty and prickly in the sandbox. Sometimes there's that kid who throws the sand around, and won't share toys, and picks fights instead of playing nicely… Well, you can fight back, but the end result will probably just be more thrown sand. Or you can take your child by the hand, smile benignly at the bully, then go off to the ice cream shop and have a delightful afternoon.
Make mine chocolate chip.
Belkin goes on to add that the Huffington Post is making a contest out of the name selection, with the winner receiving a trip to New York, lunch with the blog's team (including Arianna Huffington), and a tour of the company's offices. She also can't resist a parting shot, saying that the name "Whatta-lode" as a new suggestion "isn't on the table."

In Cold Sweat: Interviews with Really Scary Musicians
Chapter Six: Relax, Mate
The interview was scheduled for 3:00 P.M. at the El Rey Theatre on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, but Peter Hook was three hours late. While waiting around, I drank too much coffee and tried to decide whether or not I should abort. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of techno-pop or synth-dance or Euro-disco or whatever, I was intrigued by New Order, Hook's former band. They rarely gave interviews and were supposed to be drug-soaked fascists who'd driven themselves mad through their excesses and isolation. Formed from the ashes of Joy Division after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980, New Order had been at the forefront of British club culture. They set the standards for an entire genre of music, popularizing the the twelve-inch single and making extensive use of the new computer and sequencer technology while retaining a human, even raw, sound. Critics generally regarded them as one of the most important links between seventies dance and eighties house music.
Significance and controversy aside, the main reason I was drawn to New Order was their misspent potential. Loved by reviewers and blessed with rabidly devoted fans, they still never topped the success of their breakthrough smash hit "Blue Monday," the best-selling twelve-inch of all time. They were media stars in Britain but hadn't caught on in the United States except as a cult band, possibly because under the snappy electronic drums and burbling synthesizers the lyrics were uniformly morose. The stark packaging of the records perpetuated a cold, distant image, and when a notoriously erratic live show and a refusal to do encores were thrown in, the result was an act that just didn't endear itself to the average American listener. There was also persistent innuendo of totalitarian leanings, an allegation stemming in part from the band names themselves: "Joy Divisions" were the forced brothels in Nazi death camps, and the "New Order" was what Cambodian genocideur Pol Pot called his rule.
Low Life was mentioned repeatedly in my references as a model for the British dance scene of the late eighties and early nineties, but every time New Order seemed to be getting back on track, a rumor would surface that they were breaking up. Someone was always unhappy no matter which direction they were going, and they rarely capitalized on the momentum they'd built. When this interview took place in 1997, it wasn't clear if the quartet was still active, the British press reporting that the relentless "internal tensions" had finally done it in. True or not, the members were all off on solo projects, and their former label, Factory Records, had collapsed four years earlier.
In keeping with New Order's reputation as innovators, Peter Hook was a unique bass guitarist. He was one of the few who could accurately be called a "lead bassist," which isn't to say that he fired off a million notes per second à la guitarist Eddie Van Halen. What he did instead was play simple, effective, twangy melodies in the upper registers, the actual bass lines usually provided by a keyboard or sequencer. Every interviewer asked him about it, and his answer was always the same, that he started doing it because higher notes were easier for him to hear, especially when all the other instruments were going. I resolved not to bring it up. I did want ask how the electric bass-synth bass combination worked in a live context, and I wanted to know how he'd made the change in style from his Joy Division days, when he was a relatively orthodox bassist. I also wanted to touch on his own band, Revenge, a defunct "hard rock-dance outfit" that had been murdered by the critics and completely ignored by the public.
In retrospect, it was probably the caffeine that prompted me to stick it out. I was overheated and very optimistic, convinced he'd gladly make up for my wasted time after he saw how patient I'd been. With nothing else to do, I reread the press kit supplied by Polydor Records. All the clippings were from British magazines or newspapers, and they concentrated on Hook's titanic drinking, his brawling, his failed marriage to British television comedienne Caroline Aherne, and a recent public encounter he'd had with her new boyfriend. This particular scuffle had been caught on film, the writers dissecting it blow-by-blow in the most mind-bogglingly cynical prose I'd ever come across: "The punch that rocked Manchester!" "Hello, old fist!" "A left, a right another right! Oh, dear!"
With sledgehammer irony, they used all sorts of cute nicknames too, including the grotesque diminutive "Hooky," "The Beast," and "The Lizard King," a recycled monicker that was supposed to invoke the sleaze and miasma of Jim Morrison, I guess. I'd always loved Britain, but these articles were absolutely foul in their giggling snideness. They were also incomprehensible. One interview was peppered with the word(?) "Heeurgh!" and the rest contained huge wads of Mancunian dialect. I later looked the word "Mancunian" up and discovered that it was an adjective used to describe someone of something from Manchester, Hook's home town.
Hook finally strolled in at six o'clock, his hair bleached a startling blond-white. A young woman staggered along behind him, clutching a case of Heineken to her chest. I stood up, and the tour manager, a tall, heavyset, damp-looking Brit, approached and said, "Right: You've got twenty minutes." Stunned, I explained that I wanted to write a feature-length article, an in-depth study of this iconoclastic, two-fisted ex-dockworker with the strange style of playing. The manager just said, "Sorry. That's all the time we can spare." I asked if there was any way we could reschedule. He shook his head. "Can't be done. This is it." Then he walked away.
Peter Hook ambled over over and pressed my hand, sipping from a bottle of beer. I told him that we couldn't possibly do a good interview in twenty minutes; he shrugged and said nothing. With no other alternative except just turning around and walking out, I began a frantic search for a quiet place. Hook followed at a stately pace, one hand in the pocket of his shorts. I was marvelously aware that all my notes on New Order, Joy Division, and Revenge were useless. We'd have to concentrate on Monaco, the duo he'd formed with guitarist David "Pottsy" Potts, but since I didn't really like their album, Music for Pleasure, I had no idea what to ask. I'd been assigned do a profile, not an ad for a new product, my editor having told me to "get this guy's story."
The full sound check suddenly started, making the theater as noisy as a boiler factory. We tried standing in the earsplitting lobby and then moved out onto the sidewalk in front of the building. I turned my tape recorder on because we'd already used up one precious minute.
Since we only have twenty minutes, we have to get started. [Thundering passage of truck.] Jesus. What about those VIP rooms, or the bathroom, or anything? I mean, since we only have twenty minutes!
[We go back into lobby and find theater manager.]
Hook: [To theater manager]: We're doing an interview, and we need someplace to go.
A place to talk!
Theater Manager: A quiet place to do an interview. Come up to the kitchen.
[Tape picks up several seconds of footsteps as we make our way up the long flight of wooden stairs to the second floor.]
Theater Manager: How many guys are coming up?
Theater Manager: I can probably get you a couple chairs. Come on over here. It's not aesthetically pleasing, but who'll ever know?
It's perfect.
Hook: Thank you very much.
Twenty minutes. We've got twenty minutes to go over twenty years.
Twenty years? Nobody told me we were going over twenty years. [Laughs.]
Well, but…
That'd take a hell of a long time, wouldn't it?
Well, it's supposed to be a feature article, and looking over all this material here, it's just kind of a… Okay. It seems like, especially the British press, seems to mostly talk about you as a person, and almost never mentions your music.
I think that's pretty much the British press. [Laughs.] With every band, I think. They're more interested in my marriage than my music.
Well, it's a shame, because in those twenty years, you've pretty much done everything as a bassist. So… I guess, uh… [Shuffling notes desperately.] Um, uh…
[Pats me on shoulder.] Relax. Relax. Relax.
Okay. Tell me about, uh… Goddamn. I'm just kind of flustered.
Well, don't, don't be flustered. Relax. You must've known what you're going to ask.
Sure. Okay.

Jan 29 (Reuters) - GameStop Corp, the world's largest video game and gaming console retailer, said it had abandoned its efforts to sell itself after failing to get a potential buyer on favorable terms.
The company said it had held discussions with other firms but did not get financing on terms that would be commercially acceptable to a prospective acquirer.
Like most brick-and-mortar retailers, GameStop has suffered from heightened competition from online companies such as Amazon.com Inc. Game retailers have also had to cope with a decline in physical video game sales.

Beaverton man sentenced to nine months in stabbing
Victim had to have leg amputated
Tereasa Nims for the Daily News
Published 11:44 am EDT, Tuesday, May 12, 2020
A 51-year-old Beaverton man was sentenced to nine months in jail in connection with a September stabbing of his then-friend, leading to the victim, also 51, having his foot amputated.
Gladwin County's 55th Circuit Court Judge Roy Mienk gave David Yates 234 days credit toward the term; thus he will serve a little over two more months in jail. Mienk also ordered Yates to pay court fines and restitution, to be determined later. Yates agreed to pay restitution as part of his plea bargain. The hearing was held via video and not open to the public.
Yates pleaded no contest in March to assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with the Sept. 20, stabbing at Lakefront Estates mobile home park in Beaverton. He also pleaded guilty to being a habitual offender, third. In exchange for the two pleas, the prosecutor dropped the assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder charge.
Beaverton Police Chief Brad Davis said at the time of the incident that the public was not in jeopardy and the suspect was arrested without incident.
The victim told the Daily News that about a month after the incident, he developed complications. He said he had to be rushed to the hospital, and it resulted in his foot being amputated due to blood clots.
Yates has two previous convictions, fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1987, and drug delivery and/or manufacturing in 1991.

Guardiola: Man City are in perfect shape to fight for historic quadruple
Posted Saturday, March 30, 2019 by Goal.com
The Spaniard's men are aiming to become the first English side to win all four major trophies in a single season
Pep Guardiola believes his Manchester City side are in perfect shape to become the first English side to win a quadruple.
City have already lifted the Carabao Cup, while they will face Tottenham in the Champions League quarter-final and also take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup semi-final.
Guardiola's side return to Premier League action this weekend, facing relegation-threatened Fulham on Saturday before Liverpool – two points ahead of City but having played one game more – face Tottenham on Sunday.
The City boss has often been reluctant to speak about the possibility of a quadruple this season but with the feat becoming more realistic, he has admitted his side are in perfect shape to make history.
"It is what it is, it's perfect," Guardiola said of his side's position as the calendar nears April.
"We are privileged to be in all the competitions almost at the beginning of April and to fight for the title. It's an incredible experience.
"I don't know how many teams in Premier League history have been in this position fighting for four titles. We are and it's nice and it's good.
"I think they are fresh mentally and in the legs and we are going to try."
City are in a tight race with Liverpool for the Premier League championship, as they aim to become the first team to retain their title since Manchester United in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Guardiola though, is insisting that his side can't worry too much about Liverpool's results, with the two sides still fighting for honours both in England and Europe.
"My experience is not to look at the neighbour (Liverpool) too much because it's a huge mistake," Guardiola said.
"They're in the Champions League as well but when you look at them you can be distracted, then maybe you are the first to drop points."

Alleging that the Congress is the biggest hurdle in the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh minister Shrikant Sharma Saturday asked its president Rahul Gandhi to make clear his party's stand on the issue instead of visiting shrines across the country "to garner votes".
He alleged that Congress activists were opposing Ram temple, Ram Setu (a mythological bridge between India and Sri Lanka) and engaging in "cow slaughtering".
The Congress is the biggest hurdle in the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya," Sharma said here, when asked by reporters why his party was not bringing in a legislation on the issue.
"Either the visits of the Congress president to temples is an exercise to garner votes or he should support construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. The party should make clear its stand on the issue," the state power minister said.
On the BJP's prospects in assembly elections in five states, he said the party would win a landslide victory.
The party has transformed the "sick" Madhya Pradesh into a well-developed state, Sharma claimed.
Reacting to former prime minister Manmohan Singh's criticism of demonetisation, he said the BJP has healed the "wounds of corruption the country received from the previous Congress government.
"While the Congress president himself is on bail in the National Herald case, senior party leader P Chidambaram is an accused in the Aircel-Maxis case and could be jailed any moment," he said.


We just learned about the Bell X-1.
Another part of rocket history is the V-2 Rocket.
During World War II when everyone was making rockets for war, the Germans made a rocket called the V-2.
It came from the German words "Vergeltungswaffe 2" meaning "Retribution Weapon 2".
It was the world's first missile that used a guidance system to make sure it hit the target.
The rocket used ethanol and liquid oxygen for its propellant, and launched itself into the air for 65 seconds.
After that it would start falling towards its target, and it used gyroscopes, accelerometers and tail fins to guide its path as it fell toward the target.
It was also the first man made object to go into outer space on June 20, 1944.
After the war, Great Britain, the USA, the Russians all used these rockets to help learn how to make rockets to launch into space.

Eating healthy can be a challenge. She just made it a little easier.

Yasmina Khashoggi wanted to eat healthy, but like many people, was tempted by junk food everywhere she went. At train depots and airports, she would grab a bag of chips. With no time to spare in the mornings before school, she would reach for a donut. When she was studying late at night, she found herself glazing over a vending machine stocked with the usual assortment of pretzels, cheese crackers, and candy bars.
She started feeling as though she were sacrificing her health for convenience.
"Every time I ended up at a vending machine, I found myself wishing that it was filled with Whole Foods-type snacks, you know, healthy snacks," the Northeastern graduate student says. "I felt like my friends and I, we wanted to be healthy and we tried to be healthy, but out of convenience we weren't."

A study that examined weight changes in students over the course of four years of college showed that 70 percent of them put on pounds by graduation, some as much as 37 pounds, and that the percentage of students who were found to be overweight increased from 18 to 31 percent. This phenomenon is also known as the Freshman 15.
After she graduates from Northeastern this spring, Yasmina Khashoggi has plans to expand her healthy vending machine concept to other schools in Boston, and eventually to train stations and airports. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University
Taking matters into her own hands, Khashoggi, who holds a bachelor's degree in business entrepreneurship and is studying journalism at Northeastern, started contemplating how the ideal vending machine would look.
She envisioned a machine that offers healthy snacks for people with various dietary needs and one that advertises the nutritional value of products upfront; a machine that features a touchscreen and offers alternative payment methods to meet the needs of the average 21st-century consumer.
"Our society as a whole is evolving into becoming more health-conscious and more conscious of the ingredients that we're putting in our bodies, but the convenient options haven't been evolving with our time," Khashoggi says. "Even traditional vending machines that claim to sell you healthy products, it's the fake healthy products. It's just nothing that's truly healthy that's being sold."
Wanting to change this, she started her own company, Evolve Vending, which offers snacks such as coconut water, kombucha, matcha green tea, coconut chips, and chocolate-covered bananas. The items are priced between $1 and $4.

"I came up with the idea of a sleek, touchscreen, and cashless, healthy vending machine so that convenience didn't have to come at the price of being unhealthy," she says, adding that the effort was self-funded.
In February, the first machine was installed in CambridgeSide, a shopping center in East Cambridge. She unveiled a second machine at Afterhours in the Curry Student Center at Northeastern.
"I'd like to have a few more at Northeastern and then at every school in Boston," she said. "Even though it may be a niche market now, it is something that is missing at many schools, and I think it's something that will be well-received.
Next up: train stations and airports.
"I do hope to expand," Khashoggi said. "Once I graduate, I plan on going into this full-time for sure."

Is your application process killing your recruitment endeavours?
Regardless of how strong your employer brand, how cleverly you wordsmith your job advertisments or how well you promote your job....sometimes you just don't get the number of applications you need to successfully close those hard to fill roles.
Maybe you're comfortable recruiting from a small pool of applicants. But maybe you would feel more comfortable if you had one or two more candidates from which to choose.
Is Your Website Helping You Attract Talent?
An attractive careers page is often the funnel for engaged candidates to express their interest and apply. How do you design and build an effective website for your organisation?


One of the most limiting beliefs for most people is that they need to do a 1h workout session to get significant fitness results, and of course 1h of dedicated time to fitness training is very difficult to find, so most end up doing nothing.
But if you seize all the opportunities to get some level of physical activity throughout the day, you will end up accumulating a large training volume without requiring a large block of dedicated time. Actually, being active in short moments throughout the day matches more closely our biological needs than a sedentary day with an intense training session… Use the training tips to get inspiration on how to move.
Interested in other Mental Shifts?
Please click here for more info and register your interest.
Training Natural Movement techniques in public, non-fitness environments gets your kids accustomed to operate outside the expected norms of their social groups. This develops their capacity to innovate later on in academic and professional settings and is a unique mental benefit from practicing Natural Movement they won't get from typical individual or team sports.
How to increase your total training volume?
Training or working out is generally seen as an activity that should be done in a gym, at an outdoor fitness station or class, or at home. And it should be done with the appropriate fitness equipment, otherwise it's not "real" training. In other words, it should be done in an "appropriate" location with the "appropriate" equipment to have real results. This approach not only limits you drastically in your training opportunities, it's also less efficient in getting you the results you are looking for.

An open letter about a fatal crash
May 18, 2015 By imcleod in Maple Ridge, Roads, Bridges and Traffic Tags: Haney bypass, Maple Ridge traffic	1 Comment
The following letter was sent by email on May 18, 2015 to Doug Bing, member of the British Columbia Legislature for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.
Dear Doug,
Re: Fatal crash on the Haney Bypass
On Sunday afternoon, May 10, 2015, two vehicles collided at the intersection of the Haney Bypass and Callaghan Avenue near our home in Maple Ridge. A 14-year old passenger died in hospital the next day.
I was reminded of the letter I wrote to you in February 2014 about the frequent crack-ups and near-misses at this corner. Our elderly neighbour had just walked away from a pile-up that he was lucky to survive.
This is a provincial road, built in the 1980s to speed traffic through the city. Callaghan has always been a tough intersection, with southbound drivers on the Bypass accelerating down the hill. A partial widening a few years ago made conditions worse. The new 600-metre curb lane ends abruptly at a concrete island, leaving inattentive or erratic drivers to swerve unexpectedly into the centre lane at the last moment. This randomizing of driver behaviour puts all traffic directions at risk.
I said in my 2014 note that overhead and pavement signage was needed to signal that the curb lane is not a through lane. A couple of small "Right Lane Must Exit" signs were tacked up. They may have helped slightly, but it's not enough.
Your assistant responded at that time that you are reluctant to meddle in highways operations. The point is worth noting, but is counterbalanced by the reality of the provincial legislator's local role, which is to accept public input and pass it on to the government. I would ask you again to take this forward because lives are at stake, and because the junior highway officials responsible for this stretch of road lack the budget, the mandate and the job permanence to make a real difference. We are now on at least our third area manager for highways in 18 months.
The problem here is that drivers turning on to or off the highway must guess the intentions of drivers travelling down the curb lane. This uncertainty compounds driver risk at an already busy intersection. None of the options for improvement is perfect, and all of them may meet resistance from highway engineers because they will compromise the goal of keeping traffic flowing as quickly as possible.
A cheap and obvious fix would be to return the road to something like its pre-2005 condition by blocking the curb lane at the top of the hill. This would force the drivers into a single lane and (mostly) eliminate the guessing game at Callaghan. Unfortunately it would also slow traffic, making the westbound left turn even more difficult than it is now.
Another step, the expected step, would be to combine the blocking of the curb lane with the installation of a signal light at Callaghan. This would slow traffic even further, and partially defeat the original purpose of the Bypass. However, it would largely eliminate crashes except for those caused by people who choose to race the lights.
On Highway 9 near Chilliwack, where crashes were common at the Popkum corner, the Ministry chose to install B.C.'s first provincial modern roundabout. Highway planners might see this as tool as too costly for the Haney Bypass, although online data suggests that traffic volumes at Callaghan are in the order of three times the volume at Popkum. A roundabout would keep traffic flowing and eliminate serious crashes altogether. But it would requiring the acquisition of property on east of the Bypass and negotiation with the City; and in the end it might be rejected because of unacceptable impacts on the residential development the Ministry has recently permitted west of the Bypass.
As a final option, the Bypass could be realigned to allow the extension of the curb lane through the Callaghan intersection. This would require the purchase of property on the east side of the bypass and the installation of a signal light.
A contributing factor in all this is the "anything goes" mentality among many motorists on B.C. roads. It is past time to step up the level of traffic enforcement by police. The number of people dying on our roads appears to be declining in recent years, from a reported 319 in 2010 to 245 in 2013, but the reported number of injuries increased in the same period, to an estimated 85,000 in 2013. ICBC reports 1,430 vehicle-related injuries in Maple Ridge in 2013.
In other words, the average B.C. resident has a one in 50 chance of being injured in a vehicle-related crash in any given year. Surely this is justification enough for robust action to crack down on dangerous driving. You or your office may respond that this is a municipal matter, but it's a challenge that is shared by all municipalities, and the province could take the lead by designing initiatives and imposing stricter penalties.
I hope this is useful. Please accept my best wishes, and thank you for your hard work.

MLA Doug Bing says:
Thank you for your thoughtful letter, Ian, and I would like to assure you that I share your concerns about the need for upgrades to road safety. This fatal crash is another poignant reminder of the need for more safety improvements on our roadways. On March 24, 2015, MLA Marc Dalton, Mayor Nicole Read, municipal engineer David Pollock and myself, met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone to discuss how we can improve safety on the Lougheed Highway. Both levels of government are actively looking at this issue and both politicians and staff will find your letter to me about this incident at the Haney Bypass and Callaghan quite relevant. I will forward copies of your letter to both the Ministry of Transportation and the City of Maple Ridge as one more area that they must consider in their review. Thank you again for your helpful comments.

We all know that poison ivy and poison oak are toxic and that nightshade and foxglove are highly poisonous plants, but what other plants should we take caution to avoid? It may seem surprising, but many common garden and house plants are poisonous or contain poisonous parts. Not only are these plants toxic to humans, they can also be toxic to dogs, cats and other animals. If you like to garden or decorate your house with plants, be careful when working with these 10 poisonous plants.
Oleander is an evergreen shrub that can have white, red, pink or purple flowers. It also goes by the name of rosebay. This plant is extremely toxic to humans, cattle, dogs, goats and sheep. Oleander contains quite a few poisons including oleandroside, nerioside and saponins. It also contains cardiac glycosides, which can cause irregular heartbeats, convulsions and even death if ingested.
This plant is popular around the Easter holiday, but it's best kept away from the dining room table. The bulbs contain toxic alkaloids that can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and tremors, among other reactions. Amaryllis is particularly harmful to dogs and cats, so keep these flowers out of their reach.
This popular springtime flower can actually be toxic if ingested in large quantities and can be particularly harmful to cats, dogs and horses. The bulb of the tulip contains glycosides and alkaloids that can cause nausea, dizziness and abdominal pain. Severe poisoning can lead to convulsions and possibly death. Daffodils and narcissus also contain glycosides and alkaloids and can cause a similar reaction.
The snake plant is more commonly known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue, but is also often referred to as dumb cane or dieffenbachia. Like oleander, the entire plant is toxic. It contains saponins and other toxins that can cause the tongue to swell and burn, and can also cause irritation of the mouth. If the tongue swells to the point that the airways are blocked, the results can be fatal. This plant can also cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea if ingested by dogs or cats.
Lilies are highly toxic to humans, cats, dogs and goats. The leaves and flowers are where the poison is concentrated, and ingestion can lead to kidney damage. Lily-of-the-Valley is especially toxic as it, like oleander, contains cardiac glycosides and saponins. Another toxic lily is the Peace Lily, also known as the Mauna Loa Peace Lily. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause the tongue to swell and make it difficult to swallow. Wild hyacinth and Star of Bethlehem contain similar poisons and can cause similar reactions.
Often referred to as mums, chrysanthemums are popular springtime flowers and are often a part of Mother's Day bouquets. But these plants can be very toxic, particularly to cats, dogs and horses and can cause dermatitis in humans. Chrysanthemums can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, incoordination and hyper-salivation in animals. That's because chrysanthemums contain toxins such as lactones, pyrethrins and sesquiterpene.
This plant is often found naturally in wooded or wet areas as well as in many gardens. The root of the iris is where the largest concentration of toxins is found. Iris contains rhizomes and pentacylic terpenoids, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, drooling and lethargy in cats and dogs. This plant is less toxic to humans, but can still cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain if ingested. It can also cause skin irritation that usually lasts for a few minutes.
This vine-like plant can often be seen growing along the side of the road or alongside a house and blooms in white, blue or violet. The seeds and pods of this plant contain wisterin, which is both a glycoside and a toxic resin. Ingestion in large quantities can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and other digestive problems. Young children often become ill from wisteria, and it can also be harmful to cats, dogs and horses.
Many gardens contain hydrangeas, which grow in clusters of white, pink or blue flowers. The leaves and flower buds of this plant are toxic, particularly to humans, dogs, cats and horses. Hydrangeas contain a cyanogenic glycoside called hydrangin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain when ingested in large quantities.
Azaleas and members of the rhododendron family are quite toxic, particularly to animals. These flowers contain grayanotoxins, which can cause nausea, vomiting and depression of the central nervous system if ingested by animals. Severe poisoning can result in coma or death.
Just because these plants are toxic doesn't mean you can't keep them in your garden or on your kitchen windowsill. In fact, some of them can be used as a natural form of pest control. But make sure you keep them out of the reach of curious, young children and pets to protect their health.

Drawing People Whole:The Artist-Model Relationship
November 30, 2011 Perspectives on Figure Modeling
Western art typically distinguishes between portraiture and figure drawing. The model-artist relationship would benefit greatly – for justice, for purity, for respect, for human understanding, for common sense, and for better art – by being brought closer to the artist-sitter relationship, or better, by being fundamentally a human relationship which has production of art work together as part of its goal.
There are three basic expressions used in schools for a particular kind of artwork. The expressions are "figure drawing", "drawing from life" and "drawing from the model". Any of these terms can be used to describe one of two fundamental ways of approaching human beings as subjects of art work. The other of the two ways is "portraiture". In portraiture, artists work to express the character – real or supposed – of their "sitters". In figure drawing, painting, or sculpture, artists work to depict what art critic Grace Glueck has called "the elusive human body of the model."
There are several differences between a model and a sitter in relation to an artist. First, and almost most obvious, usually the sitter pays the artist, while the artist pays the model. Second, the resulting art work stresses character in the portrait and form in the figure drawing. Third, the work of art that results in portraiture belongs to the sitter, while the work that results in figure drawing belongs to the artist. Fourth, figure drawing sessions usually result in "sketches" which may be used in some way later for something more major, while the portrait is the major work for which the sitter is sitting. Fifth, the portrait is usually partial, featuring face and, in recent centuries, hands, while figure work is usually full-figure, with attention to extremities – often including face-reduced. Finally, and perhaps most obvious, a sitter is usually clothed, and a model is usually (though not always) naked.
Two paintings which point up the most obvious distinction between sitter and model, by challenging it, are Francisco Goya's "Maja Clothed" (Maja Vestida) and "Maja Nude" (Maja Desnudo). Both are portraits of the same person in almost the same pose. The nude version is as detailed and personal as the clothed version (though there are surprisingly meaningful variations, such as an apparent absence of make-up and of bed covers in the nude version), and the nude portrait becomes allowable in standard society because it mirrors a clothed version. The existence of both shows society that a dichotomy between how artists treat people with clothes and people without them is, to speak gently, artificial.
This very artificiality is the point of the dichotomy. Portraiture comes as close to some apparent reality as possible; a figure, clothed or naked, is presented for reasons apart from the people involved in the work: you are meant to look at the picture. That is why illustrations for fictional work are usually figurative, most clearly exemplified by illustrated children's stories. Portraits (except in the case of biographies), would bring in substance extraneous to the ideas in the text.
Western society has an interesting tradition of combining figure bodies with portrait heads. Standard practice in ancient Greece, and then in Rome, demanded that people (almost always, men) be depicted as though their bodies were ideal, but the head was rendered as a portrait. It was these likenesses that the vandals most thoroughly "vandalized" as a symbol that power no longer belonged to the people portrayed.
Portrait bodies, recognizable as such, don't make people comfortable. Perhaps the best-known "scandalous" examples of this sort are several sculpted nude versions of Honoré de Balzac by Auguste Rodin. Human bodies are ordinarily presented in a way which idealizes them, thus encouraging us to pass over their reality and its various meanings, including sexual meanings. This idealization continued with few exceptions throughout the history of Western art. Exceptions are important: they include the nudes of Rembrandt and Dürer, among others. Painters such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci seem to have modified portraits in a figurative direction. Renoir found lovely "figures" to portray, among them his Young Girl Bathing in the Metropolitan Museum Collection.
Idealization is ambivalent. It allows both affirming reactions and negating reactions, in a way that frees people from responsibility. This freedom from responsibility is key to development of such a deep dichotomy, in ordinary artistic practice, between the portrait and the nude.
This categorization, however, is often confounded by individual art works. A portrait beyond portraiture, for example, is Hans Holbein's Sir Thomas More. In this example, the universality beyond individual character was in the subject of the portrait, but it took a portraitist like Holbein to find and present it. Rembrandt's portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels as Bathsheba at Her Bath brings portraiture and figure work into unity, while transcending both.
People do recognize a basic connectivity in all aspects of life. Because of this, there is deep concern to keep relationships between artists and models idealistic from the beginning, so that "due separation" will be maintained under every circumstance. If the relationship between these two people is allowed to become personal, it might well become sexual. There are plenty of historical examples in which this has happened, and people are rightly worried that a "tainted relationship", passing into an art work, might taint those who receive it. This question needs an answer. Many people feel that it is the nude which, at its best, is our greatest art: we want to assure ethical safety in making and appreciating nudes.
The standard solution is to "keep sex out." But we are neither whole nor truly nude when sexuality is somehow excised from us. A second solution often proposed is to "keep the relationship professional." This last is the same as the first, but it is more complicated, has far-reaching social complications, and needs a complicated answer.
Supposition that a relationship between an artist and a model must either be professional or be sexual involves a set of presumptions that diminish art and turn out to be rather insulting to people as artists and, especially, to people as models.
People presume that the presence or avoidance of intimate relationship is the key to defining the two different artist-model relationships. To avoid identification with a model in a sexual way, artists have often withheld personhood from figures in their works. For much of Western history, genitals other than those of prepubescent boys have been hidden, diminished, cut out or overlooked in finished works of art.
The second presumption is that modeling is demeaning. It is seen as an activity outside a person's real goals, unless that person is a "career" model posing at art schools for a meager living. In fact, modeling can be a valid performing art, worthy of the same respect as other performing arts. It demands projecting to the artist: performing artists know this projecting is important, and can provide it.
Life drawing classes or workshops often have as their focus the depiction of the (admittedly, elusive) human body. Reduction of person to body is demeaning. Models are doing the artist the honor of entrusting themselves: for love, for money, for practice, for whatever human reason or combination of reasons brings them.
Finally, it's presumed that professional interest should be less than personal. Professional is a word with various grades of meaning. It can mean extraordinary skill, gained through education and enhanced through experience, performing a humanly valuable function which requires such skill: from doctors, to teachers to mechanics. Sometimes skill needs exercise without the truly human framework where it belongs: it would not be practical for a doctor to become friends with every patient. Where this is recognized by both doctor and patient, it is appropriate. A human relationship cannot be truly human unless it is equal: superiority-inferiority has no place. For artists and models, the two types of relationship—impersonally professional or intimately sexual—are both one-sided. Instead, both model and artist can give as much as they feel appropriate in the situation, and take as much as seems right to them, in agreement with each other.
Alleged "professionalism" does not provide the protection against corruption which it first seems to offer. Pablo Picasso is well-known as someone who had sexual experience with people who worked with him as models, and also as an artist who did not only nudes, but erotic art. This art is often delightful, and need not be arousing except through personal effort on the part of the viewer. As St. Paul notes, "to the pure, all things are pure." There are complications, but the complications belong.
Prudence always has a place. This applies to our abandon, which is the ultimately valid attitude to any work of art. There has to be a special kind of value in something, so that I may allow it to overwhelm me: let it transform me, so that I have become different because of it. Abandon sometimes has to be careful and gradual, rather than immediate; but it can become complete, in time, as a work shows itself worthy of abandon.
This article was begun in the 1980s, and my brother Nicholas suggested that I update it with reference to some contemporary artists. Nude portraits by Lucian Freud, Alex Katz, Alice Neel and Jenny Saville are included here. These painters taught me other ways of doing things right, and remind me that human perception, understanding and expression, at its best, remains individual and personal.
A given wisdom that insists that nudity be presented or received on an artistic level only in an impersonal way fosters continued separation of humankind from human sexuality and human sexual behavior, as well as anything else in personality that is fully human. The relationship between the person who is a model and the person who is an artist embodies all the possibilities of change, development and dissolution that other specifically human relationships embody, and needs the same kind of care in order to be fruitful. That includes care that sex remains in its appropriate place within the context of the full relationship. Everything belongs in context: it is isolation that does damage. Sex belongs from the beginning because it is there. It is part of any relationship between people mutually attractable to each other, unless they have blinded themselves to the attraction: a blindness deadly to art. Attraction, awe, fun, prudence, love and delight are surely part of the explanation of why people like to look at art work involving nudes, and why many people like to be involved directly, as artists, as models, or as both, in this work.
There is a rather sexist saying attributed to Renoir which, in some way, is more deeply right than it is wrong. To him, a nude was not finished until he was ready to pat her on the bottom. There is a sense of tenderness here, and of real play: real play is relevant, and reverent.
The Greeks told an admiring joke about their sculptor, Praxiteles. When he had finished his great sculpture of Aphrodite, the goddess appeared to him and said, "Oh Praxiteles, wherever did you see me naked?" What Praxiteles had done was not a figure, it was a portrait.
William Blake, in one of his poems, offers a model of how to approach figurative art, whether as model, artist, sitter or recipient:
To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love all pray in their distress
And to these virtues of delight return their thankfulness..
For mercy has a human heart, Pity a human face,
And love the human form divine, and peace the human dress.

Bajaj Auto has launched three new colour schemes on the Pulsar 180 models in order to clear the stocks of the existing models. The new dual-tone colour shades comprise of sapphire blue, pearl metallic white and cocktail wine red. The move comes as the Pulsar 150 and 180 models are all set to receive a comprehensive update with changes to the design and updates to improve the ride quality of the motorcycle.
The updated Pulsar 180 is expected to feature a monoshock suspension set up at the rear, a feature which is practically omnipresent in almost all models competing in the segment. The facelift will also help the premium commuter bikes to take on the newer models coming up in the segment. The Pulsar 150 and 180 will be competing against the Yamaha FZ models that will also get a comprehensive update later this year, the upcoming Suzuki Gixxer 150 and the Honda CB Trigger, Hero Achiever and Xtreme models.
Bajaj has a series of launches this year including the updated Pulsar 150 and 180 models. The company will launch the Pulsar 200 SS by the end of this year, while sister concern KTM will launch the much awaited RC 200 and RC 390 models in the country.
