1980s Horror Movie Actors: Where Are They Now?
The 1980s ushered in the biggest wave of horror movies ever. They ran the gamut from supernatural and religious themes to stalker, slasher and monster themes. Some of the more obscure but memorable actors seemed to have faded away. What are they doing now?
This 1984 cult favorite was a whole new kind of fun for horror. Gremlins has gone on to be a classic. But, what happened to the actor who played Billy Peltzer?
Zach Galligan is now 52 years old, a graduate of Columbia University. He went on to do a few more movies - "Waxwork," "Nothing Lasts Forever," and other parts through the years and up until today. He is married and living in New York.
An American Werewolf in London
"An American Werewolf in London" was considered a technical breakthrough in horror movies with a mechanical prosthetic-style werewolf transformation that was positively visceral. It also had quirky characters, like Jack Goodman, the hiking buddy who dies and then haunts his friend.
Griffin Dunne is now 60 years old. Tragically, his sister, Dominique (oldest daughter in the movie "Poltergeist") was murdered by her ex boyfriend. Griffin has starred in many movies including "Practical Magic." He also branched out into producing and starring in films, like "Game 6." His production company is "Double Play Productions." He also has a daughter, Hannah.
Corporeal Hicks was the strong, decisive and fair soldier in "Aliens." He was also the budding potential love interest or counterpart to Ripley.
Fifty-nine-year-old Michael Biehn was an ideal counterpart to Ripley in the popular scifi film "Aliens." This talented man was in many movies including "The Fan," "Terminator," "The Abyss," and "Tombstone." He is married with four sons. He is still acting today.
"Friday the 13th" was a classic 1980s horror film and it set the standard for dumb teens versus psycho killer genre. But, what ever happened to Alice, the lone survivor?
I think we can all agree, Adrienne King is a lot more beautiful than she was when she made the movie! She is 60 now and studied voice and dance. She has done lots of television and radio commercials. She is also a gifted artist and married. She was talked for a time following the movie (one of the horrible aspects of celeb exposure), but she went on to continue her career using her vast talents.
The 1978 film, "Halloween" is perhaps the #1 most thought of movie when one considers the 1980s genre. It wasn't actually made in the 1980s, but the slasher/stalker theme became the standard that bred a series of Halloween movies and a lot of knock-offs. What ever became of little kid Michael, the killer?
Will Sandin is the 46-year-old who played Michael as a kid at the beginning of the movie, setting the tone for grown-up disturbed Michael. Actually, Will's part was just for the unmasking. The killing scene was played by Debra Hill. I have often wondered about that, as Michael is looking up at the knife in the air instead of his sister as he's stabbing her....
Will made a couple of random rolls in recent years, but mostly he stays in the background. What his career is and his personal life has been respectfully quiet from the public.
The 1987 hit cult favorite vampire movie, "The Lost Boys" was as stylish as they get. Michael, in particular, won our hearts as the outsider wanting in. But, what happened to Jason Patric?
Jason is now 49 years old and still acting. He is the grandson of Jackie Gleason. In an odd turn of events, he and a girlfriend wanted to conceived and used in vitro to make a baby. When they broke up, the courts said he was just a sperm donor and he had no parental rights. He fought it to a higher court to get parental rights.
The much-tormented character of Nancy Thompson in the 1984 horrifying movie, "The Nightmare on Elm Street" had us all putting ourselves in her situation and finding few options. Where is Heather Langenkamp today?
As adorable as ever, 51-year-old Heather was in several of the Nightmare franchise movies. She also made a documentary called "I am Nancy" about her role.
You can also find her on "The Bay" as Sharon Monroe.
The 1982 hit movie, "Poltergeist," unsettled us greatly, from the concept of the living being abducted by the dead, to a house atop a graveyard and a boy being pulled under his bed by a clown doll, of all things! So, where is Robbie today?
Oliver Robins is just as cute as a button today, even after that scary tangle with a clown doll and a tree come to life. This 44-year-old is a real talent. He wrote, produced and directed "The Crystal" at the age of 15, winning a French film festival award. He has directed and produced many films. We are glad that the accidental choking by the clown doll while filming the movie, managed to allow him to live to continue an illustrious career. Sadly, the two women who played his siblings died young and were often spoken of as part of the movie's curse. Robins, however, is curse-free and doing well.
Evil Ed from "Fright Night" was one of those characters that is played so wickedly awesome that you just want to hang with this guy in real life. What ever happened to Stephen Geoffreys?
Stephen Geoffreys is 51 years old today. This talented actor has continued to act and a good deal on stage, as well. He has dabbled in a horror a bit more too.
All of us who cut our teeth on 1980s horror felt a kinship with the teens in these movies, putting ourselves in their places to imagine if we would run up the stairs or light the house on fire to escape. We rooted for them, even when they seemed to have no hope. The great part about casting the movies of the 1980s was that filmmakers found those that we identified with so that we had a very clear hero or heroine to root for.
Put these characters in your 1980s vault of movie viewing....

Remember: the gender of nouns in german differ from the gender of the same nouns translated into english.
There is no general rule for identifying the gender of a noun in german.
For this reason it is strongly recommended that you learn german nouns with their articles (der, die, das).
The examples above are practical, but there are many exceptions!

How can I sell my house fast in Amarillo? That is the question. Real Estate is not a very liquid asset. It usually takes a while to get a house sold. But some people can't wait for months and months for their house to sell. They need it sold right away! That's why they call us!
Now I know what you may be thinking. You think I am going to make you a 'low-ball' offer right? Well that is not the case. It is true that we have to buy houses at a discount in order to be able to fix them up and put them back on the market and hopefully sell for a profit. But when you compare our offers with what you would actually get after paying a Realtor and making repairs you will see that our offers are very fair. When you sell your house to us you have a check in just a few days, not a few months! Even if we can't buy it from you we can probably give you some ideas that you haven't thought about.

Advanced Active-Magnetic-Bearing Thrust-Measurement System
Automatic multipoint calibration and a fringing model are used to increase accuracy.
Stennis Space Center, Mississippi
An advanced thrust-measurement system utilizes active magnetic bearings to both (1) levitate a floating frame in all six degrees of freedom and (2) measure the levitation forces between the floating frame and a grounded frame. This system was developed for original use in measuring the thrust exerted by a rocket engine mounted on the floating frame, but can just as well be used in other force-measurement applications.
This system offers several advantages over prior thrust-measurement systems based on mechanical support by flexures and/or load cells:
The system includes multiple active magnetic bearings for each degree of freedom, so that by selective use of one, some, or all of these bearings, it is possible to test a given article over a wide force range in the same fixture, eliminating the need to transfer the article to different test fixtures to obtain the benefit of full-scale accuracy of different force-measurement devices for different force ranges.
Like other active magnetic bearings, the active magnetic bearings of this system include closed-loop control subsystems, through which the stiffness and damping characteristics of the magnetic bearings can be modified electronically.
The design of the system minimizes or eliminates cross-axis force-measurement errors. The active magnetic bearings are configured to provide support against movement along all three orthogonal Cartesian axes, and such that the support along a given axis does not produce force along any other axis. Moreover, by eliminating the need for such mechanical connections as flexures used in prior thrust-measurement systems, magnetic levitation of the floating frame eliminates what would otherwise be major sources of cross-axis forces and the associated measurement errors.
Overall, relative to prior mechanical-support thrust-measurement systems, this system offers greater versatility for adaptation to a variety of test conditions and requirements.
The basic idea of most prior active-magnetic-bearing force-measurement systems is to calculate levitation forces on the basis of simple proportionalities between changes in those forces and changes in feedback-controlled currents applied to levitating electromagnetic coils. In the prior systems, the effects of gap lengths on fringing magnetic fields and the concomitant effects on magnetic forces were neglected. In the present system, the control subsystems of the active magnetic bearings are coupled with a computer- based automatic calibration system running special-purpose software wherein gap-length-dependent fringing factors are applied to current- and magnetic-flux-based force equations and combined with a multipoint calibration method to obtain greater accuracy. All of the inputs required for calibration can be obtained from the control subsystems of the active magnetic bearings (and from magnetic-flux sensors if they are used). Tests have verified that force accuracies characterized by errors or <5 percent of full-scale readings are achievable when using current-based force equations or by errors <0.5 percent of full-scale readings when using flux-based equations.

Microwave Processing Applications in Chemical Engineering: Cost Analysis
A.M. Hasna
Rising fossil fuel energy costs and climate change have generated increased interest in alternative drying methods. Microwave processing applications chemical engineering industry is one possible substitute. The advantages of using microwave processing applications in chemical engineering can range from improved quality, reduced wastage; unique characteristics induced by "volumetric" heating and increased production. However, irrespective of benefits that would accrue if the solution is put into effect, the final hurdle for industry adoption can only be made with the achievement of a financial return on investment. This study analyses the costs and benefits for implementing microwave systems and presents results for economic parameters used in cost calculations. The calculations method is outlined using a corrugated board case study. Furthermore in the age of green awakening microwave processing is argued to help improve process efficiency by using green electric supply hence reducing CO2 emissions.
A.M. Hasna , 2011. Microwave Processing Applications in Chemical Engineering: Cost Analysis. Journal of Applied Sciences, 11: 3613-3618.
Received: February 08, 2011; Accepted: April 18, 2011; Published: December 16, 2011
The scientific landscape on continuous and batch microwave irradiation applications in chemical processing is growing, with a number of unique chemical applications namely (Saifuddin and Chua, 2006), waste oil/water emulsions produced in metallurgical industries (Abdurahman et al., 2006) demulsification of water-in-oil emulsions (Nour et al., 2010a, b; Nour and Yunus, 2006) crude oil demulsification, similarly the progress of microwave drying adaptation at industrial scale has been relatively slow, Chou and Chua (2001) identified one such reason high initial capital investment and low energy efficiency when compared with conventional drying technologies.
Traditionally dryer selection has been practiced as an art based prior experience and vendors' recommendations (Mujumdar and Devahastin, 2000). However, there are a number of key parameters required for dryer selection, for example dryer throughput; properties of the material being handled physical geometry, physical, chemical and biochemical properties of the feed; including moisture variability, drying characteristics of the material drying kinetics; flow of the material to and from the dryer; operations and product safety, fire hazard and explosion hazards, Product qualities, Recovery problems; mode of process control, effluents environmental regulations, type and cost of fuel supply. Facilities available at the site of the proposed installation; space availability.
In analyzing the economic viability of a microwave curing system, the costs can be divided into capital and operating costs and the maintenance costs can be broken down further to magnetron replacement, general maintenance, energy and floor space costs. However, from an operations perspective the prime aim is to factor in tube replacement cost and energy cost in the consumables.
To expand the discussion on the economic viability of microwave drying, it is necessary to incorporate energy conservation as a feature of the microwave system offering. By and large, industrial microwave equipment is not luxurious; the capital costs associated with a microwave power generator are approximately $1000 per kilowatt. Together with specially designed cavity and conveyor system, the total purchase price of a microwave system is around $1500-5500 per kW depending on the system power (Mujumdar and Zhonghua, 2008), frequency and complexity. Summary of dayers classification is shown in Table 1.
Maintenance costs of industrial microwave systems are moderate and, once established, they are very robust Metaxas (Metaxas and Meredith, 1983) with the only "consumable" being the magnetron. The microwave generator, magnetrons usually last significantly longer than 5000 h. Replacement of 1 kW magnetron would cost about $750 AUD. Typically the, magnetron is typically about 65% efficient and a 1.2 kW unit would draw 1.8 kW from the mains. It is therefore estimated, on the assumption that a typical electrical unit costs reference price of 11 cent per kilowatt hour, that running cost for 6,000 h would be approximately $1188.
A number of noteworthy publications exist on this topic for example the investigation by Damskey et al. (1969) included the procedure for a computer simulation for microwave paper dryers. Program options evaluated the economic feasibility of microwave equipment.
Table 1: Summary of dryers classification extracted from (Mujumdar and Devahastin, 2000)
The profitability of paper-making machines with microwave drying relative to those with conventional steam heat drying was computed by assuming that microwave drying procedures provided a sufficient level of moisture profile.
The increased drying capacity of the process resulted in higher machine speeds and therefore profitably. Also a feasibility and decision analysis procedure for microwave and conventional heating systems based on quantitative comparisons between two heating methods was reported by Ishii (1972).
Finally, Schiffmann (1987) investigated the economic analysis of microwave drying systems, with an emphasis on large projects and included budgeting and costing for acquisition or costing of large manufacturing infrastructure.
We had also reviewed a host of literature on various case studies that did also include important information that applied to any general cost-benefit analysis in microwave drying microwave drying. In relation to the specific information required for performing decision analysis studies. The investigation by Schiffmann (1987) included a procedure for the development of a cost model. It concluded that industrial microwave systems vary between $4000 and $ 7000 per kilowatt.
An additional economic analysis into factors affecting both initial capital initial and operating costs was conducted by Disman (1966) who found that the major cost-determining factor is the efficiency of the microwave applicator. Relations between magnetron costs, life, efficiency and the cost of prime power were derived.
Efficiency and reliability were two major economic considerations, where applicator efficiency was calculated by determining the ratio between the effective heating power delivered to the material being processed and microwave power supplied to the applicator.
This investigation also analyzed the total system cost, where it was divided into applicator cost, power supply, tube costs and other engineering and miscellaneous costs. It was assumed that the initial cost of a microwave system, at several hundred-kilowatt power levels, lies between $750 and 1250 per kilowatt of microwave power generated.
This evaluation revealed several aspects that related to the feasibility analysis undertaken in this research. For example, for effective cost estimates of the system, the availability of reliable historical cost data on similar items or products was vital. Without data sources of adequate quality, the accuracy of the cost estimate would be sacrificed (Graves, 2000). Hence it is sensible to consider cost-indexes.
The presented indexes are used for the purpose of adjusting an item's cost from one period to another. The reasons for an item are cost to change continuously included inflation, changing technology and changing the availability of materials and labor. These issues are important for a technological device and the development methodology of microwave curing of corrugated board adhesive that may rely on improving technology, materials and labor. Theoretically any potential saving in microwave application would very much depend on the attributes and the advantages of the industrial processing system as well as the actual quality improvements which can be achieved (Disman, 1996).
Therefore, justifying the purchase of a microwave processing unit to achieve energy savings is based on the fact that conventional steam plant remains inefficient and the microwave capital cost are repaid after a number of years through savings in energy usage.
In this study, the intrices of microwave costs models are illustrated through a case study.
Case study 1 corrugator: This case study examines a typical corrugator capable of running up to speeds of 300 m min-1. The production line is fitted with a steam hot platen, also known as hotplate dryer which consists of a number of heating plates, NEX and the total area of the heating surface AS.
A gas-fired boiler would supply the steam in the hotplate section as shown in Fig. 1.Typically for a medium sized corrugator converting plant the heating duty of the boiler would be in the range of 2500 kW similarly with an optimum efficiency of 80%. Figure 2 illustrates the trend in steam consumption in relation to production speed as well as liner grade or density. This graph was plotted using real data adopted from Nylund (1998).
Any increases in the production rate would require additional energy as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 1: Boiler arrangement supplying steam to platen heat exchanger
Fig. 2: Steam consumption versus production speed
Fig. 3: Production rate optimization pathway
However, there are three options available in order to accommodate the increases within the limits of the existing equipment; increasing steam supply temperature, increasing steam temperature by super heating or increasing surface heating area which requires more energy input from the unit.
The limitation of current equipment for production rate increases dependent on an array of influencing factors, the essential are listed in Fig. 3.
Selection of appropriate drying conditions is necessary for minimizing thermal stress (Ramesh et al., 2001) corrugated wrap or cupping. Heat is the first fundamental drying parameter however the influence of the various process parameters and pre-treatments like inlet air temperature, dew Point wet and dry-bulb, air velocity mass flow rate, moisture content, bulk density, residence time. Another technique to achieve temperature increase is by increasing steam pressure inside the steam platen in Fig. 1. However, naturally the steam platens have inherent limitations for example practical limitations to the maximum pressure that can be used.
Disadvantages of steam platens: Although steam platens remain in usage drying corrugated board, there are several associated disadvantages with this drying system. The overall floor size and volume of the drying section is a major contributor to the size of the plant and the length of the production floor. Now-a-days, typical machinery occupies a linear space of about 120 m and total factory building, of about 140 meters in length (Jones and Metaxas, 1988). The heating platens system necessitates extensive length in order to ensure sufficient curing of the adhesive bond as the board passes over the platens at speeds of up to 300 to 400 m min-1. Steam platens are typically made of heavy cast iron, in the manner of a pressure vessel, in order to contain the high-pressure saturated steam at temperature of 185°C and pressure of 1138 kPa.
A steam chest has a flat upper web-supporting surface and a required width sufficient to support the full width of the travelling web. This width is typically in the order of 500 to 600 mm. Another feature of the steam platen is that they have thick walls. The heavy walled construction of these steam chests requires sufficient time to bring them up to temperature on start-up. As the heat is drawn at a rapid rate by the travelling web on the upper surface of the heat platen, the surface temperature may also drop significantly; the heavy walls retard the conduction of replacement of heat. Therefore, the platen runs noticeably cooler than the steam temperature.
The lower effective operating temperature requires the use of a larger number of steam chests in order to provide more efficient heat transfer. An additional method to compensate for this temperature reduction is to reduce the operating speed in order to cure the corrugated board sufficiently. In addition, the edges of the chests are flanged, so the steel is thicker at the extremities of the full-width web and for this, loss of heat in the edges limits the running speed. The centre of the board may adhere well but the edges may have only green bonded.
Another problem which is also related to the inefficiency of the heat transfer through the steam platen casting during operation, is the transverse bowing of the upper surface. In this situation transverse concave bowing of the steam chest across the path of the travelling web is a common occurrence. Consequently, uniform load distribution on the web, is disrupted, by the hold down belt and the transverse riding ballast rollers sandwiching the belt downwards and against the upper surface. The result of the previously mentioned operating efficiencies is uneven curing of the adhesive zones, poor or no adhesion and crushing of the lateral edges of the web.
Finally, the heavy mass of cast iron steam platen results in high heat retention and slow cool down rate, often requiring intricate process control systems to manage the heating rate and avoid excess heating. Another drawback of steam platen corrugated board is the "pressure lines" which result from the pressure applied by the pressure roll at the single facer. This is compounded by "wash boarding" which is the effect of the adhesive, when the drying process is drawing the liner out of its linearity. These effects make the board unsuitable for high quality printing on that side. Further factors to be alleviated include paper shrinkage, cardboard wrapage and print scuffing.
The present discussion looks at the underlying capital and operational cost as factors that typically determine the viability of most manufacturing operations. In this section, an analysis of previous research undertaken in the area of a microwave-curing systems cost are presented. The objective of this analysis is to provide an understanding of how to evaluate the feasibility of a particular microwave-curing system using corrugated board example. The perceived benefits from microwave processing are in the unit cost production. Since capital and unit costs are typically used as a primary determinants of economic viability. Furthermore, microwave processing applications need electricity, the energy cost of running a microwave unit would be apparently high compared with steam from fossil fuel sources. However, Corrugator and Strayfield (1998) had shown that the demanded energy by the board to achieve bonding was significantly less than that provided by a conventional steam chest double backer. Bearing in mind several factors contributed to this lower energy demand. Firstly, the power consumed is proportional to the quantity of material being processed i.e., on speed, basis weight and width.
Secondly the energy is only required to heat the glue line and not the board itself. In the case of corrugated paperboard, it was estimated that microwave curing, would cost $38.00 h-1 for utilities by comparison to current steam rates of $128.00 per hour for various utilities such as gas, water and electricity. For example the current running costs were estimated using Eq. 1 in order to determine the savings by comparison to current conventional curing methods (Metaxas and Meredith, 1983) where yn is the number of years:
The running costs per hour of the microwave dryer and the conventional dryer are (gcon = 128) and (gmw = 38), respectively. The capital cost of the microwave dryer in (g1 = $/ kW 7000) , is the power source (Psc = 75 kW). The recoverable capital due to resale of the replaced equipment (C = 0) and the operational hours in a year is assumed to be about 6000.
By solving Eq. 1, the microwave capital cost is returned by the savings made from the switch from conventional steam hot plates in less than one year (0.97).
Therefore, substantial economies could be obtained with microwave processing in corrugated paperboard manufacturing. This allows corrugated paperboard to be made with less energy intensity and minimum starch consumption needed to produce accurate and predictable strengths (Hasna, 2003).
The advantages of microwave drying in the process industry are many to make mention, for example it offered significant product improvements in corrugated paperboard manufacturing compared with conventional heating (Hasna, 2001). The noteworthy factor is that microwave-curing rapidly delivers sufficient energy to accommodate production speed increases.
The profits due to the increase throughput may pay for the capital costs, running costs and any inertest charges on the borrowed capital. For example a production line producing 10 tons per day and 20% increase in production speeds (250 → 300 m min-1) yields 1600 kg h-1.
This would give a total annual production of 9.6 m kg, assuming operations for 6000 h. This represents 19.2 mm squared at, 500 gsm basis weights, of corrugated paperboard material.
However assuming a 0.20$ m-2 net profit, the extra revenue made due to the 20% production increase is 3.8 m which equates to $768 000/year.
From an energy balance analysis, the dryer requires 75 kW (Hasna, 2001). Assuming 70% efficiency, the source requires 97.5 kW and considering the electrical power factor i.e., 90%, the electrical input power for the microwave curing machine draws 108 kW from the line. Considering the 6000 h per working year, the total consumption is 650 MWh. At 0.11$ kWh-1, the yearly running cost is $110 500. Assuming the microwave source and associated equipment at 6000 $/kW, the yearly interest on the borrowed capital of 15% amounts to $102 375. Balancing the profits against the expenditure yields (Holm and Metaxas, 1979) where yn is the number of years:
Finally in order to evaluate the overall financial impact of any proposed microwave heating system, specific factors are energy, power, processing speed, product quality, equipment cost, payback period and operating cost, research and development cost (Jolly, 1972; Simpson, 1992). Equation 2 yields a repayment period of just over one year.
In this study the economic feasibility of microwave processing was evaluated. Overall the microwave system cost analysis could provide a measure of the system commercial feasibility.
We know from the complexities of a manufacturing plant that the true economic analysis cannot be properly performed without considering interdependence of one process on another. To achieve a comprehensive evaluation with a firm basis all costs covering physical parameters needed to capture the true cost.
Similarly the cost analysis has to account for the overall energy flows into the system for example life cycle assessment and thermodynamic losses. The energy flows include the energy associated with the line, all energy converted into microwave and system operations. Similarly the cost of the facilities needs to be converted to an annual expense.
Whether microwave drying is technically and economically feasible for a specific operation it would not necessarily be applicable to any other operation since each has unique costs involved. In practice the analysis presented here can offer some guidance in equipment design.

Tee-shirt politics – For the fainthearted . . .
An online advertisement appeared on Instagram. A website offering tee-shirts carrying political slogans featured one proclaiming, "stop plastics" and another saying, "save our oceans." The advertisers did not seem to appreciate the irony of adding to environmental pollution in the name of saving the planet; or perhaps they just didn't care, perhaps "stop plastics" is the latest pet slogan from which a profit can be made.
Presumably, there will be a significant market for tee-shirts which declare the wearer's opposition to plastic; though the same person will probably shop in a supermarket filled with plastic packaging, and will have a house filled with plastic electronic goods – including the computer or tablet or smartphone on which they will have ordered their tee-shirt.
Buying a "stop plastics" tee-shirt is similar to sharing messages on social media in its likely impact upon reality. When there was concern about Chinese repression of Tibet, a picture of a candle was being shared on Facebook, "share this candle for Tibet," said the caption. Thousands of Facebook users had shared the pictures, presumably in the belief that in doing so they were demonstrating their solidarity with the people suffering from decades of Chinese occupation. Of course, the efforts did not effect an actual change in the political situation, anymore than wearing a tee-shirt is likely to address the massive problems caused by our profligate use of plastic.
Wearing a tee-shirt declaring one's beliefs regarding an issue can bring with it a sense of empowerment. Having bought a tee-shirt, printed with a red clenched fist and emblazoned with the words, "fight racism," at an Anti-Nazi League rally in 1978, it would be inappropriate to criticise contemporary tee-shirt wearers (I really went to see the free concert by Elvis Costello and the Attractions). Buying the tee-shirt created a sense of having done something, when it meant doing nothing at all. It was an appearance of being politically active without any substance.
An abiding memory of that march in 1978 is that of Trotskyites handing out leaflets at Hyde Park Corner before the march began. A National Front rally was planned and the militants argued that the answer was not to go to a pop concert, but to join them in direct action and to kick the neo-Nazi group off the streets. Being a skinny seventeen year old kid from the country, the invitation was resisted. Forty years later, such "direct action" seems as anti-democratic as those it opposed, but it does beg the question as to how ordinary people do change things. Too often, we seem to regard token gestures – tee-shirts, social media, signing petitions, and other activities requiring little commitment – as a substitute for engaging in real politics.


If you are someone who likes tea, then you will love different types of tea that have different functions and benefits for your body. One that works to lose weight is skinny fit tea. So, you can consume it regularly in order to get the goal you want.
Ashwagandha tea can fight stress hormones that put pressure on our minds because the stresses that are inside will trigger stress causing increased appetite and lead to obesity. And again when we are in a state of stress and anxiety then the hormone cortisol (a hormone that increases fat metabolism) can increase and automatically increase fat storage in our body.
Lemons have diuretic properties that make us more frequent urination because of the increased urine levels that are triggered by the lemon and it can help lower all the water weights in the body. Compounds called d-limonene in lemon shells are also very helpful in reducing bloating and helping to lose weight.
Oolong tea is packed with catechins that help increase fat burning in the body. Oolong also contains polyphenols that can block enzymes that build fat in the body.
White tea has the property of blocking newly formed fat cells, as well as promoting the breakdown of existing fats in the body. The process of making white tea is also the most simple and slightly exposed to processed chemicals. Therefore, white tea is a source of antioxidants richer than green tea. Even white tea can also improve digestion, improve immunity and memory to improve heart health.


John Lambert has stepped down as Sidley United manager.
Following a meeting on Monday night, John felt that with the continuing uncertainty surrounding the club and where we will be playing next season, that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his duties to the best of his ability.
Sidley United would like to publicly thank John for the service he has given us over the last four seasons. During his tenure the club were promoted to Division One, where we have remained for the last 3 seasons, finishing a respectable mid-table.
During John's tenure, the club has also lifted the Hastings Senior Cup three times and lost the final in the other year.

Hello Boston!
feat. Pelle Almgren vocals, Ernie Kim & Brian Church guitars and Stephen Budney drums
Martin Gordon and Pelle Almgren pitched up in Boston to play a gig with the musical support of Tristan Da Cunha. It was Gordon's professional debut as a solo artist, despite having done this for over thirty years. Leave them wanting more was always his considered motto. This is a live soundboard recording from the evening.
The CD version is only available with the Radio Stars album 'Something For the Weekend'. It has been, as ever, painstakingly mastered and fiddled with and also includes a bonus track from the radio broadcast that our brave sailors made on or around that date. in one of the loudest ever radio recordings experienced by Gordon, the foreign members of the quintet had to wear earplugs INSIDE their headphones in the studio, such was the extreme volume.
'Hello Boston!' can also be downloaded from iTunes, Amazon and the usual sources. We can probably find a few of the original double CD sets if you ask us. Get it in the Radiant Future shop.

Video excerpts from the evening, especially the collapse and recovery of 'The Captain of the Pinafore', can be found on YouTube and below. Following the gig, people congratulated us upon the well-rehearsed fake falling-to-bits of 'Pinafore'. It took a very long time to make it look that spontaneous, we told them… The bonus track referred to above is in fact 'Pinafore', just to show that it was possible to perform it without it collapsing in the middle.

Beware of scam calls - "Government Grant Scheme"
I had a telephone call earlier today from what is almost certainly a scam outfit. I was asked initially if I was "William Cameron", I responded querying who was calling. The person (a Scottiah male voice, with a well-spoken Glasgow accent) said he was calling about/from the "Government Grant Scheme". As I invariably do, I then said quite politely "no thanks, goodbye" and hung up. I was in bed at the time, propped up with a laptop on my lap, but only looked at the caller number a little later, after having blocked future calls (I pay for a service called 'choose to refuse') and was a little surprised to see it was listed openly rather than being 'withheld' or from a foreign proxy, as is so often the case with these cold-call scams. In any case the number was a Glasgow number (0141 438 2187) and a quick Google search threw up this, with a number of the links confirming this is indeed a scam outfit.
I think most sensible people can recognise this kind of call for what it is almost immediately, but some more gullible folks or perhaps some elderly folks with poor hearing might be fooled by these con-artists. So this is a warning just to be careful and not to be drawn into a conversation with such people. I am never rude when I hang up, by the way, I always say something like "no thanks, goodbye" and hang up, then block future calls if possible with my 'choose to refuse' access code. Job done!
PS/ Like many others, I subscribe to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) which theoretically should stop cold-calls, but as has been mentioned recently in the media the rules are being flouted by some less-reputable (and some otherwise seemingly pretty reputable) outfits; 'choose to refuse' is a second line of defence for me which I began to use over 10 years ago.

I'm wondering if we got the same caller.
You see, I got this call about a government grant and this guy told me I qualified. Of course, I knew it was a scam. I'm familiar with grants and financial assistance because I used to work for a financing company. And all grants are basically the same. For you to get them, you should apply and be qualified. You just don't get a call from a stranger telling you you're receiving money when you didn't really do anything at all. Even the complaints posted at http://www.callercenter.com prove that.
Given the nature of the company the grant is probably legitimate, actually - there's a government incentive for purchasing solar panels. However, it's a violation of conditions for them to offer it as an incentive. Get in touch with the DECC and let them know what the company is up to; they'll be blacklisted for future applications, which will effectively ensure they'll never get a sale again.

I have published the last comment although it is 'anonymous' for what it is worth. Frankly I have better uses for my time than to take the action suggested - if he/she wishes to do so, then good luck.
PS/ I should just add that this article is one of the most read articles I have written in recent times, so I suspect many others must have been contacted by what I continue to regard as a 'scam' outfit; reputable businesses do NOT conduct their activities in this way.

Geography

Merawi is situated about 30 kilometers south of Bahir Dar and approximately c.525 km from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital. Specifically, the town is located c.7 km near Koga Dam, lying on latitude and longitude coordinates of   with an elevation of 1901 meters above sea level.

History

Merawi in its modern form is said to be founded in early 1940s by Dejazmach Abere Yimam, then governor of Gojjam and his younger brother Fitawrari Admasu Yimam. Fitawrari Admasu was the first administrator of Merawi. The Yimam brothers, together with other iconic patriots such as Belay Zeleke, defended Gojjam from Italians and were recognized as national heroes. The town is also known to be the birthplace of prominent politicians and national heroes such as Colonel Tadesse Muluneh, a former airforce pilot for Ethiopian National Defence Forces renowned for his bravery during the Ogaden War, later turned politician as the Co-founder and first chairman of Ethiopian Patriotic Front; Wassie Gela, one of the first Ethiopian soldiers (together with Kerie Degu) who broke the Eritrean mighty "Geza Gebresilassie" mine fortress during the Ethio-Eritrean War of 1998–2000; Dessalegn Chanie (PhD), first chairman of National Movement for Amhara (NaMA), Zemene Kassie of Amhara Youth Association; Fasil Yene'alem of ESAT; Tazebew Assefa of Amhara Democratic Force Movement; Captain Memar Getnet of Amhara Special Forces, Gashu Kindu (MD), First President & Co-Founder of Amhara Medical Association, Tesfahun Alemneh (studied in Merawi) of Amhara Democratic Force Movement, etc.

Demographics

Like any other parts of the country, Merawi has shown a steady increase in its population in the last decade. Based on latest projections from the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA)., Merawi is estimated to have a total population of 35,541, of whom 18,479 are male and 17,062 are female.

The 2005 Census, conducted by CSA., documented that the town had a total population of 22,676, of whom 11,432 are men and 11,244 women. The town is also a seat of one of the most populous Woreda in Amhara region, Mecha Woreda,  having a total population of 292,250 in 2005 Census (and estimated to 340,289 in 2015.). Majority of the inhabitants (98.91%) practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity.

The 1994 national census reported a total population of 12,278. The largest ethnic group reported in Merawi was the Amhara (99.91%). Amharic was spoken as a first language by 99.96%. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 98.84% reporting that as their religion, while 1.09% were Muslim.

Economy

Having been dormant for almost half a century, the town has shown some progress in the last few years. Nonetheless, its economy is still predominantly led by small-scale merchandise trade, services, agriculture, and small-scale cottage industries. In particular, the livelihood of a sizable number of its residents still rely on production and marketing of traditional alcoholic drinks called "Tella" and "Arekie". In fact, the traditional "Arekie" of Merawi is a popular brand alcohol being widely traded in north-western parts of Ethiopia such as Bahir Dar, Gondar, Humera, and Metema, and is said to be smuggled into the Sudan. Besides, the town is known for its huge timber market; largely eucalyptus tree, indicating its immense potential to host a pulp and paper industry.

The town hosts the headquarters of Koga Integrated Irrigation Dam project which currently serves more than 10,000 smallholder farm households. As the hub of Koga Integrated Irrigation Dam project, the town and its neighboring villages are expected to benefit from marketing surplus production. According to the regional government's strategic plan, the area is expected to be one of the prime food baskets in the region. Aquaculture production and marketing has surged at the artificial Koga Dam. It is expected to host tourists for excursion in near future. The economic activities are facilitated by the banking services provided by the branches of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and Buna International Bank.

Education and Health

The town has one of the oldest elementary schools in the region, Merawi elementary school, which was founded in 1948. It also has an additional public elementary school, two comprehensive high schools and one public Technic and Vocational College. A recently established Koga health science college is stationed in the town. The town's proximity to Bahir Dar has helped secure some of the finest teachers in the region, which is evident in the successful achievement of its students in higher studies in the region. Bahir Dar University's extension programs are quite popular in the town.

The town has a few number of private and public health clinics, one public health center and one public hospital.

Transportation

The town enjoys Minibuses almost every next half hour to Bahir Dar. For a safe travel from Addis Ababa to Merawi, one could take Ethiopian Airlines which operates thrice daily flights to Bahir Dar and take 30 minutes drive to Merawi. It is also common to take a relatively cheaper Intercity bus services to Addis Ababa run by private companies such as Selam Bus Line Share Company and  which operate daily from Bahir Dar to Addis Ababa as the town lies on the main road connecting the two cities. Besides, the town has almost hourly bus travel services to nearby rural towns of Mecha Woreda such as Wetet Abay and Birakat. Although yet a poor quality, the road to Birakat extends to Adet. Cycling is the most common and convenient way of traveling within the town. Lately, Tricycle has also become a popular means of transportation.

With just 3 paylines to play for and only 5 paylines to give players relatively little action at mr. Wins are quite nice and could probably do better as a sleepy insect eating the cheese first laugh, and that being told is also very satisfying on the eye is that the slot can award jackpots with a whopping 500x your line bet. If simplicity is your main thing and your first time playing you might want to take a look at the free frankenstein slot, available at no sign casino. Check it out and see what it's all about. For the first time, and now you can get your hands on some sensational wins. On top of your standard wins, you can hit up to 500 coins. And, it's a sweet deal compared to most bally's releases. The game carries over a simple 5x3 reels and sets out against the backdrop of a tree. Before you start to spin, you will be treated the sumptuously sparkly, bright hues of blue, pink, green, and purple continue a traditional irish castle backdrop. It wouldn't become an adult apprentice for us. There is a wealth of riches to be had when you review the shamrock hills slot game. The basic visual cabinet appears against the solidly vibrant background of blue sky and green colors. The reels themselves are located to the center of a rural landscape with a typical rainbow-lit hillside. A rainbow sits beneath the reels while bubbles sparkling on the metal and prominently at the top of the screen make up for the fact that you're always looking at the sky. Before you can get your teeth stuck into this game, you'll want to set your bet level. This is done out with the clicking symbols on the reels and to the left of the coin button. If you are settling for the maximum bet you can use the arrow buttons to do so by activating the bet button at the bottom of the main screen.

One of the things we really love about the jenny nevada and the part is that it gets really wild. This symbol basically means it is triggered a wild combination that basically wouldnt or offer any additional cost. Oddly, this free spins round can break up some actual thrills; although not the kind of slot machine that requires no update either. As a wild, there is no progressive jackpot in this slot, which is one of the purest most attractive to some gamblers out there. If you just want to experience the thrills of a classic themed arcade slot machine then this is the slot for you. Big runner is designed to emulate the nostalgia, change in a virtual format and take the action in a bid for real life games that are just starting to make the online in carats. The first thing that you are likely to notice off on the reels in front of you is the number and symbols featured.
