How is a painless colonoscopy different from a virtual colonoscopy?
This question was asked in Beverly Hills, California on 02/24/2012.
Is there a difference between these two medical procedures? Do doctors recommend one over the other? I have heard about both but I am confused if it is actually a procedure.
A colonoscopy is the process of taking a long flexible camera and running it up the colon to evaluate for polyps. It requires a bowel prep to clean the colon, and is usually performed under sedation for comfort purposes. If a polyp or abnormality is seen, it can be sampled or removed at the same time. A virtual colonoscopy is an imaging procedure, CT scan, performed to look at the colon. It still requires a bowel prep, and air insufflation in the colon, which can cause discomfort. If a polyp or lesion is noted on the virtual colonoscopy, then a full colonoscopy is still needed.
A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a gastroenterologist inserts a tube in the colon to inspect directly. Medications are given to make the procedure painless. A virtual colonoscopy is a CT scan of the colon which has more discomfort because no medications are given.

Old church to get new life under apartment plan
December 17, 2015 Local NewsJohn Clark
The former St. Bartholomew Catholic Church property on Eighth Street will get a facelift and a new use under plans approved this week by the Columbus Board of Zoning Appeals. N
Nick Surak, vice president of the Woda Group, says the company plans to replace the school building on the lot with two apartment buildings. He said the 30 apartments will be for low-income residents.
The former church building itself will remain and be used for common space. Surak said part of the goal is to provide an affordable place for artists to live and space for them to work.

Surak also said that the company would be keeping most of the stained glass in the former church building.
Two residents spoke at the hearing and were largely in favor of the project. One did ask that the company change the proposed "St. Bartholomew" name of the apartments, because of the sacred nature of that name.
Ryan Lauer, who lives behind the building, said he was in favor of the project but did have concerns about parking and traffic flow in the neighborhood.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved two variance requests to let the project move forward including allow the new buildings to sit closer to the street than normally allowed and to waive some of the parking space requirements.

Monday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time [I]
Romans 8:12-17 + Luke 13:10-17
As He said this, all His adversaries were put to shame….
Why is Jesus so insensitive? Being a divine person, Jesus knew that His words against the ruler of the synagogue would cause His adversaries shame. But still He spoke as He did.
Is it a sin to make another person ashamed? The ruler of a politically correct culture would respond, "Always and everywhere." Jesus must believe differently.
It's interesting that this Gospel narrative has no parallel in any of the other three Gospel accounts. Only St. Luke presents this narrative. Yet St. Luke's Gospel account is known especially for highlighting the theme of mercy in the Good News of Jesus Christ. That might, were we to think like the politically correct, for whom praise and popularity are life's chief virtues, seem an odd contradiction. But perhaps instead this narrative reveals to us a certain integrity.
It is precisely for the sake of mercy that Jesus speaks here as He does. Shame has a place, Jesus reveals here, in lowering the one who has falsely raised himself or herself. But this very act of shaming enables mercy to be shown: here, to the woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. May Jesus help us in our modern culture to rid ourselves of two-dimensional views of mercy and shame, and accept with gratitude all that comes forth from God's Word.

Woman Attacked By a Venomous Copperhead Snake At LongHorn Steakhouse
Rachel Myrick says she "freaked out" when she felt a sharp pain in her foot.

A Virginia resident was bitten by a venomous snake inside a LongHorn Steakhouse before she even made it to her table.
Rachel Myrick and her family were heading into the foyer of the restaurant for dinner earlier this month when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her foot. "My left foot felt a bee sting, a hornet sting — something similar," Myrick told Washington's Top News. "So, I reached down to brush my foot off to keep walking."
Once she did so, she was bitten a second time and immediately began screaming as she dropped her cellphone, wallet, and let go of her 13-year-old son Dylan's hand. When addressing the pain between the bites Myrick said, "[The second] was significantly more painful than the first time."
After she was bitten a total of three times—twice on her toes and once on the side of her foot—the 8-inch-long copperhead stayed clung onto her foot until she was able to shake free.

"I freaked out," Myrick told Fredericksburg.com. "I got bit! I got bit!" she recalls yelling out loud.
Her boyfriend, Michael Clem, who was with her at the time, knows a fair share about snakes. "I've bred and raised reptiles for 15 years… there was no question what it was," he said.

Myrick was hospitalized and administered antivenin, morphine and benadryl for the severe swelling and pain.

A spokesman for LongHorn Steakhouse, Hunter Robinson, says the restaurant believes the snake may have come from a nearby retention pond and called the incident a "highly unusual incident."
"We are working with our facilities team to see how this may have occurred and we are taking steps to prevent it from happening again," he added.
Myrick estimates it will take her about three months to fully recover.

Ending the Most Destructive Conflict in History
On August 14, 1945, World War II came to an end with the unconditional surrender of the Empire of Japan.
V-J Day
Although the formal surrender ceremony would not take place until September 2, Emperor Hirohito announced in a radio message that "our empire accepts the provisions of [the Potsdam Declaration]."
The Shōwa Emperor
The exact role that Hirohito played in Japan's expansionist policies remains a matter of some debate, but his influence was crucial in heading off a suicidal defense of the home islands.

"At the Stroke of the Midnight Hour, When the World Sleeps, India Will Awake to Life and Freedom"
So Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, declared in his Tryst with Destiny speech on the eve of India's independence. August 15, 1947, marked the end of British rule and the establishment of a free and independent Indian nation. Each year, India celebrates with parades, kite-flying, flag-raising ceremonies, and the prime minister's address at the Red Fort in Old Delhi. Though the festivities will be smaller this year, some traditions will still be honored.

"Little Sure Shot"
American markswoman Annie Oakley was born on August 13, 1860, as Phoebe Ann Mosey. Her skill with a rifle led Sioux chief Sitting Bull to call her "Little Sure Shot." Oakley often toured with her husband and later starred in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
Wild West show
Founded in 1883, the theatrical extravaganza presented a romanticized version of the western frontier and reinforced notions of Native Americans as aggressors with its Indian war dances and an "attack" on a stagecoach.
William Frederick Cody was a U.S. Army scout, Pony Express rider, actor, and impresario, who dramatized life of the American West through his colorful Wild West show. It made him one of the world's first global celebrities, but it also spread dangerous stereotypes of American Indians.
The Teton Dakota Indian chief united the Sioux peoples in a fight for survival on the North American Great Plains. He befriended Buffalo Bill and, in 1885, briefly took part in his Wild West show.
The legendary American frontiers woman toured with Wild West shows beginning in 1895.
The Fall of an Empire
During the 15th and 16th centuries the Aztecs ruled a large empire in what is now central and southern Mexico. Its capital was Tenochtitlán, a densely populated settlement of some 140,000 inhabitants. The population included warriors; merchants; craftsmen, who, among other endeavors, made codices; and priests, who attended to the city's temples and complex calendar of ceremonies. The empire was still expanding when Spanish explorers appeared in 1519. Years of violence and illness followed, weakening the empire. It came to an end on August 13, 1521, with the Spanish capture of Tenochtitlán.

America's Deadliest War
Just one generation removed from the first Thanksgiving, tensions between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag erupted into what is regarded as the bloodiest conflict, per capita, in U.S. history.
From June 1675 to September 1676, thousands of Native Americans and hundreds of English settlers were killed, and dozens of villages were destroyed or seriously damaged.
Metacom
The leader of the Wampanoag was called King Philip by the English. He was slain in battle on August 12, 1676, and his severed head was displayed outside Plymouth for 25 years.
Josiah Winslow
As commander in chief of the New England Confederation, Winslow prosecuted a vicious campaign against Metacom and his allies. Native American villages were burned to the ground, and survivors were often sold into slavery.
Massasoit
Metacom's father had brokered the original peace treaty with the Pilgrims, and Massasoit's reign as grand sachem of the Wampanoag was generally marked by cooperation between the two peoples.
Winslow was one of the founders of Plymouth Colony, and he maintained a close personal relationship with Massasoit. The elder Winslow did not live to see the destruction of the Wampanoag alliance by his own son.
A Dino-mite Discovery
On August 12, 1990, in South Dakota, one of the most complete and best-preserved skeletons of Tyrannosaurus rex was uncovered. The historic fossil—named after its discoverer, Susan Hendrickson—ignited a fierce ownership fight that ended with Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History (with some help) purchasing it for $8,362,500.

Back in Vogue?
Given the fickleness of clothing trends, many fashions have long faded into obscurity. Here are some that we think deserve another chance.
Codpiece
This pouch for hiding the male genitalia is both fun and functional. It can be highly padded and decorated, and you can even store small items—like money—in it.
Loincloth
Make a splash this summer by donning a loincloth. One of the first forms of clothing, it's super simple: just wrap a cloth around your hips, and you're good to go!
Not enough "junk in the trunk"? Here's your answer! This posterior padding can be made in a variety of ways: some are shaped metal or mesh, while others are just padded fabric.
Tired of people invading your personal space? You might want to try this petticoat, which is a light metal frame worn under a skirt. The width of the hoop is up to you.
Commode and cockade
Read about these and more in our list of fashions that deserve a comeback.
Operation Desert Shield
On August 7, 1990, U.S. Pres. George H.W. Bush announced the beginning of Operation Desert Shield, the U.S. military response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Over subsequent months, U.S. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf directed the buildup of over 700,000 U.S., European, and Arab troops in Saudi Arabia ahead of an air and ground operation. The air campaign, begun on January 16–17, 1991, seriously degraded Iraq's war-making capability, and the ground war, begun on February 24, lasted just 100 hours, resulting in the liberation of Kuwait.

For the "Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge Among Men"
On August 10, 1846, the Smithsonian Institution was founded in Washington, D.C., by the U.S. Congress using funds that had been bequeathed by English scientist James Smithson with the stipulation above. Find out more about the institution and a few of its many museums.
The Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian began as a hybrid of a research center, an observatory, a library, and a museum. By the 21st century it had expanded to more than 15 museums and a number of research centers.
Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
The Hirschhorn was the first contemporary art museum in Washington, D.C. It features the work of Auguste Rodin, Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, and Yoko Ono.
This museum presents the history, art, and culture of African American people from slavery to the present day. Its dazzling building was designed by Tanzanian-born architect David Adjaye.
Home to the biplane used for the Wright brothers' first successful flight and the Apollo 11 command module, this museum is perhaps one of the Smithsonian's most popular.

Ignoring the Old
Frag den Chole, Nicht den Rofe
(Ask the sick one, not the physician)
The person who is ill knows much better how he feels than the physician or the healer. The pain is the patient's and he can describe the suffering that is his. This is as true in emotional/mental pain as it is in physical illnesses. We only know superficially how a person is hurting/suffering but we do not really know how much something hurts, how much he has suffered, what went wrong, and why and how are his problems affecting him. That for which one person is bearable leads to suicide for another. Each human being is unique and each feels his pain in his special way. No two folk have experienced a situation in the same fashion. There are many examples that come to mind. The holocaust survivor is much more sensitive to certain comments, innuendos, rejections, and much more. He/she remembers the Hitler youth who spat on him; the threats of destruction, the stones thrown, the "Juden Bänke," the signs that Jews are not permitted to sit in the park; the signs Juden unerwünscht (Jews not wanted); the endless threats; the sparsity of food, the hunger, the revulsion which ultimately he turns toward himself and believes the unimaginable threats and denigrations directed at him. The grown up person who recalls that she was called unspeakable names, how her hair had been pulled and her body been beaten by Hitler youth, how she had been called repugnant because she was Jewish; how she had to hide to avoid being annihilated. The saleswoman at a fair who called out: "Immer lecker, immer lecker, für die Sarah, für die Rebekkah" as she held up ice cream cones which the Jewish child could not buy because it was only offered to non Sarahs or Rebekkahs. Compared to the unimaginable atrocities that occurred to the survivors there is pain that all people feel at one or another time in their lives. Only they know how it feels to be denigrated or how particular situations affected them emotionally. There are many such situations which occur on a daily basis that can be described.
Many parents have raised a number of children into successful adults. It is not unusual for these adults to have no respect for their aging parents and only make requests that would leave these folk impoverished with threats of abandonment. Some adult offspring treat their folks with disrespect and dishonor, and the victims feel like worthless animals who are being "put down"/annihilated; often a widow is treated with disdain and labeled with terminology that gives the impression that the victim is "domineering," an embarrassment due to her wardrobe, or some other label that has her appear like an undesirable human.
It is difficult for a person who is healthy, respected and satisfied with his or her position in life to empathize with the "chosen one," the one that has been labeled with the anger of the hostile human being who needs a reason for his aggression and /or rejection of the human being in question.
The older adult who has raised his/her offspring is frequently ignored and placed in a corner, not responded to, and barely conversed with; he feels like a pariah who is worthless, ignorant and shunned. He feels denigrated and useless no matter what his accomplishments have been, nor how he supported his brood.
The only gratification that the older adult can have is that someday those who have denigrated, ignored and shamed him will have the same fate as his. Yom Kippur is a reminder that all people have feelings regardless of their age, their income, their gender and their beliefs. It is time to change hurting those who have given us life, those who have protected and raised us, and those who have given of themselves: bechol levovche, bechol nafchecho ufchol meodecho"(with heart, soul, and hands).

Another nanoblock design for a wildly famous and popular tourist attraction in Italy. We visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa located at the Piazza dei Miracoli during our honeymoon but couldn't fit it into our schedule when we brought lil sis some years later to do a detailed tour of Italy. It's quite a shame since the piazza is really quite pretty (although there isn't much to do there except for some interesting photo-taking opportunities).
Now this nanoblock design… I adore. Looks rather like the original, doesn't it?

A simulation game (also known as a game of status or mixed game) is a mixture of a game of skill, a game of chance and a game of strategy, which results in a simulation of a complex structure (like a stock exchange, or civilisation flux).
Game semantics is an approach to the semantics of logic that bases the concepts of truth or validity on game-theoretic concepts, such as the existence of a winning strategy for a player.
In combinatorial game theory, an impartial game is a game in which the allowable moves depend only on the position and not on which of the two players is currently moving, and where the payoffs are symmetric.
Games can be in the form of physical activities (see the sports category), mental, or a mixture of the two.
Games are forms of entertainment derived from a set of artificial rules, typically with a known goal to be reached.
Also, games (including sports) can be classified as cooperative, solitaire, or competitive.

The next major figure in the development of archaeology in the UK was Mortimer Wheeler, whose highly disciplined approach to excavation and systematic coverage of much of the country in the 1920s and 1930s brought the science on swiftly.
Archaeology is the primary means for reconstructing the human past when there is no written record (generally, more than 5,000 years ago), when the written record is incomplete, or when the written record is biased.
It was now possible to study archaeology as a subject in universities and even schools, and by the end of the 20th century nearly all professional archaeologists, at least in developed countries, were graduates.
After forty-four years of war, from the victory of Marignano to the treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis (1515-59), France relinquished hopes of retaining possession of Italy, but wrested the Bishoprics of Metz, Toul, and Verdun from the empire and had won back possession of Calais.
France's national heroine was thus heralded by the fancy of her contemporaries, by Christine de Pisan, and by that Venetian merchant whose letters have been preserved for us in the Morosini Chronicle, as a heroine whose aims were as wide as Christianity itself.
France is the only country in Europe having a coast line both on the Atlantic and on the Mediterranean; moreover, the passes of Belfort.
During the last years of the Thirty Years' War Sweden was involved in a conflict with Denmark between 1643-1645, called the Torstenson War.
France, although a Catholic country, was a rival of the Holy Roman Empire and Spain, and now entered the war on the Protestant side.
The political warmth of the past 30 years, after Paris finally allowed Britain to join the then EEC in 1973, was swept away as Britain joined forces with the United States while France led the worldwide opposition to the war.
Mr Chirac tops the list of the most famous French people alive today after 20% of Britons named him, although he will be a little concerned to learn that his great rival, the late François Mitterrand, is named by 5%.

This is a list of years in aviation.
November 16, foundation of the first air transport company in the world, the DELAG (German Aviation Company).
December 25, United Transit 141 crashes in Benin, spreading rumors that it is the Boeing 727 that disappeared earlier during the year.
For example, in the former USSR Aleksandr Fyodorovich Mozhaiski is sometimes credited as a 'Father of Aviation', for his powered heavier-then-air machine going airborne (generally recognized as the second such flight in that category) in 1884.
Alberto Santos-Dumont — seriously ill, and said to be depressed over his multiple sclerosis and the use of aircraft in warfare — is believed to have committed suicide in the city of Guarujá in São Paulo, on July 23, 1932.
The often low flights of many aviation pioneers, including some of the Wrights initial flights, fall prey to a complex debate over classifications of machines that are aided by this phenomenon.
General Aviation is a term comprising all of aviation other than government and scheduled air transport (airlines), and includes privately owned aircraft, charter services, business owned aircraft, such as "bizjets," and many more types of working aircraft that are not, strictly speaking, for transportation.
Commercial air transport is offered by airlines, companies such as American Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines or Cargolux, operating passenger or cargo flights.
Ultralights are increasingly becoming a part of the highly regularised civil aviation system, and are often considered a part of general aviation.

Opinion: Could Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State learn from Mike Leach and Texas Tech?
by Berry Tramel
Published: Tue, June 30, 2020 5:45 PM Updated: Wed, July 1, 2020 1:20 AM
Mike Leach, left, and Mike Gundy shake hands after the 2008 OSU-Texas Tech game in Lubbock. [CHRIS LANDSBERGER/The Oklahoman]
Maverick Mike. Eccentric. Nationally known for his unconventional style. Didn't get along with his athletic director. Constant dalliances with other jobs to increase his contract leverage. Got crossways with the university's big boosters. Eventually didn't even have the support of his players.
But Maverick Mike's teams won big. They played cutting-edge offense and built up the fan base and helped ignite glittering facilities that were once unimaginable on the Plains. Maverick Mike was the leader of a golden age at the Big 12 school, and no other period in program history was even close.
And then Maverick Mike was fired.
What? You thought I was talking about Mike Gundy? Nope. Not yet. This was the Mike Leach story at Texas Tech. And it's an instructive tale for both Gundy and OSU.
The major differences between Leach and Gundy is that Leach didn't have a huge buyout in his contract (Gundy does) and that Leach is known for his bizarre soliloquies and Gundy is known for his mullet. Otherwise, their stories are strikingly similar. The lessons are, too.
No matter your success rate, the decision-makers on a college campus can get weary of the constant turbulence.
But be careful; maintaining high levels of gridiron success isn't automatic at a place that's historically something less than a big winner.
Gundy has reached the same crossroads at OSU that Leach reached in Lubbock a decade ago. Both iconic coaches, mostly popular with the mainstream fan base, but in constant turmoil with the administration and big-money boosters, and then player discontent surfaced.
Article: OSU football: Mike Gundy will remain Cowboys coach
Article: OSU football: Mike Gundy's contract reduced by $1M and one year following internal investigation
Article: Examining OSU's internal emails regarding Mike Gundy's turbulent summer, via The Intercollegiate
Tech fired Leach two days before the 2009 Alamo Bowl, after "other things" were discovered by the board of regents during an investigation of Leach's treatment of injured receiver Adam James. All in the wake of the famous shed story, where Leach reportedly banished James during practice while recovering from a concussion. Most Tech players seemed to support James, though many former Tech players supported Leach.
That was Tech's opening to fire Leach with cause, citing insubordination, and not pay off his contract. Leach sued Tech, but the university claimed sovereign immunity through Texas shield laws, and Leach never got his day in court. As recently as 2018, Leach still was filing suit against Tech, seeking bonuses and salary he says went unpaid.
The Leach/Tech flap started soon after his 2000 arrival; before the end, Tech wasn't even trying to entice him to stay. The buyout on Leach's contract in 2009 was only $2 million.
But Leach has had the last laugh in other ways.
Texas Tech football has been a solid football program going back to its days in the Border Conference in the 1950s and earlier. But Tech never won like it won with Leach. And it's rarely lost like it's lost without Leach.
In 10 seasons, Leach's teams went 84-43, a .661 winning percentage that is by far the best in school history.
In the 10 seasons since Leach's departure, Tech is 59-65, its worst 10-year stretch since 1956-65. Leach's teams were 47-33 in the Big 12. Tech since is 30-59 in the Big 12.
The Red Raiders didn't have dolts coaching. Tommy Tuberville was a proven winner in the SEC who now has a chance at the U.S. Senate. Kliff Kingsbury had a promising maiden season coaching the NFL Cardinals. We'll see how Oklahoman Matt Wells, the current coach, fares long-term.
But Tech is not an automatic-win place. It's a tough job. And Leach was a consistent winner.
The same holds true in Stillwater. OSU is not an automatic-win place. It's a tough job. And Gundy has been a consistent winner.
Gundy's 15-year record is 129-64. Pat Jones and Jim Lookabaugh rank right behind Gundy on the all-time Cowboy victory list. They won 120 games — combined.
Gundy's Big 12 record is 77-52; in the Big 12 pecking order, the Cowboys have jumped all but OU, including Texas, Kansas State and TCU. In a combined 26 seasons, OSU coaches Jim Stanley, Jimmy Johnson, Jones and Les Miles — four pretty fair country football coaches — totaled 82 conference wins. Gundy has 77 himself.
That's one of the risks of replacing Gundy, as OSU's administration ponders his job status. These have been great times for Cowboy football.
The same headaches Tech endured with Leach — not getting along with the administrators, alienating high-dollar boosters — are the headaches OSU has been dealing with for almost a decade. In April, when Gundy used his only pandemic press conference to call for the quick reopening of athletic facilities and get the economic engine rolling again, countering everything OSU, the Big 12 and the NCAA were trying to promote, Gundy angered administrators perhaps more than ever before.
And now OSU has the player component, too, with Chuba Hubbard's tweet a couple of weeks ago leading to findings that Gundy has a major disconnect with his players.
Gundy's contract calls for a $17 million buyout unless he's fired with cause. Ten years ago, Texas Tech found cause. It also found itself, soon enough, wallowing in mediocre football.
I'm told Tech officials had confidence in their program to believe, a decade ago, that the Red Raiders could continue to prosper without Leach. I know OSU officials believe they can thrive without Gundy.
But you never know. The Mike Leach story in Lubbock tells us that.

Because we do not select children, educating all who come our way, we fairly represent those who live nearby. We have a vast wall-display which indicates this, with national flags appearing next to children's names. At the time of writing there are 24 different nationalities in our school community. Within this mix are different cultures, foods, religious festivals, modes of dress, and so on. An important aspect of the Montessori philosophy is allowing children to realize the breadth and richness of human culture. One of the ways in which we do this is by way of a festivals theme each autumn. Festivals presented to the children include Eid, Chinese Moon, Sukkot, Shichi-go-san, Diwali, Thanksgiving, Christmas and more. This can, on occasion, lead to a little confusion as exemplified by the boy who, on seeing the new crescent moon (which heralds the end of Ramadan), said to his parents "The Hindus must be partying tonight." And some quite sweet moments too, such as when a young girl, during the week of Thanksgiving, retrieved a Pilgrim doll from the role-play area, told the doll that she would take care of him, took him to the Reading Village (where no shoes are allowed), took off her own shoes and his slippers and started "reading" to him!

Jadeclaw Monkey Noble
This was the first of the nobles that I drew and really helped me set the stage mentally for how to conceive of them. I wanted some uniform theme so they'd all fit together somehow. It's always easier for me to create en mass if there's some unifying theme in my head. I drew this a realized that the fellow looks likes his posing and very much conscious of presenting an image, formal and artificial. It seemed fitting to me that this sort of mild vanity would be common to the aristocracy, posing for portraits and the like, trying to convey something in particular. Also, the dragon motif is here on his fan. I like to think that the use of the dragon as a symbol is a way to evoke his power and favor, sort of like namedropping.

As such, this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of Sole Source procurement of the Columbus City Code Section 329.


India has recently excluded four million people from the National Register of Citizens, thereby deeming them 'illegal' and, if their appeals fail, will deny them citizenship. In our specially curated conversation series Suddenly Stateless, The Polis Project takes an in-depth look at the controversial National Register of Citizens.
The Polis Project's Director of Research, Vasundhara Sirnate, spoke to writer and journalist Praveen Donthi. Praveen Donthi is a Staff Writer with The Caravan magazine and has been a journalist for more than a decade. He has reported intensively on politics in India with a special focus on the Kashmir conflict, and, the human rights issues of minorities and oppressed communities. He has an M.Phil in Modern Indian History from Jawaharlal Nehru University. Mr. Donthi's most recent piece is, "How Assam's Supreme Court-Mandated NRC Project Is Targeting And Detaining Bengali Muslims, Breaking Families".
On the 30th of July 2018, the Indian government released an updated National Register of Citizens that cataloged the names of Indian citizens of the northeastern state of Assam. This process was first initiated in 1951. Because of a variety of reasons including partition, war, underdevelopment and climate change, the northeast region has played host to millions of Bangladeshi migrants over the last half-century. However, the Assamese protective of their culture, tribal population and their lands have been asking for the identification of Bangla migrants. In fact, one of the worst recorded massacres of migrant Banglas occurred in 1983 in Assam where an alleged 2191 or more persons were killed in 14 villages. Today we know this as the Nellie massacre. This was carried out after the All Assam Students Union and an armed resistance group called the United Liberation Front of Assam issued a warning to the government to strike the name of suspected East Bengal voters from the electoral rolls in the run-up to the state elections of 1983.
Undoubtedly the politics of Assam and of many northeastern states are linked to the presence of those that local people consider "outsiders". In Assam alone, the numbers given for illegal migrants or those that should not be considered Indian citizens is anything between 1.6 million to 8 million. No one knows what the correct figure is and it is extremely difficult to distinguish between insider and outsider, Assamese and Bangla. To complicate the matter further the migrants have been both Muslim Bangla and Hindu Bangla but it is suspected by many that the current updating of the National Register of Citizens that began in 2014 under a Supreme Court directive has selectively left out Muslim Bangla migrants or those suspected of being Muslim Bangla, even though they may be Assamese.
This quest for the legibility of an invisible or largely undocumented mass of people reminds one of James Scott's work in Seeing like the State where he describes how the best-laid plans of states have a tendency to worsen the human condition. In Assam, a new bureaucracy with several moving parts has been swiftly created to identify illegal immigrants, and on 30 July 2018, it was reported that 4 million such persons had been left out of the National Register of Citizens. This was done chiefly because many were not able to prove that they had an established legacy of having moved to India before the cut-off date of March 24, 1971. Many could not locate the names of their forefathers on electoral rolls since then or if they were women, could not prove their addresses as their names did not appear on property papers before marriage.
The current exercise of the identification of citizens has caused much concern in India because, with the rising violence against minorities in the country, there is no identifiable mechanism in place to safeguard those that have been identified as foreigners, Muslim and Bangla. Bangladesh has stated that this issue is an internal matter and it will not be taking anyone deported since they can also not prove that they are citizens of Bangladesh.


If your pet was ever ill, needing surgery, or involved in an accident and lost a lot of blood, you might well take it for granted that replacement stocks would be readily available to help them. However, as with humans, blood stocks largely depend on the number of donors who are willing to help.
At The Shrubbery, we were amongst the first vet practices in the country to provide our own blood donation and transfusion system. Our register of pet donors means that if your pet needs a transfusion we can source the blood they need much more efficiently, rather than having to wait for a delivery from the national blood bank.
We are always keen to register new dog and cat donors to ensure that our blood stocks remain well supplied. After all, it could be your pet that needs a transfusion one day.
All donors must have a good temperament – to allow us to collect a donation!
New donors will first have a test sample taken to check they are suitable, and will then only be contacted when an animal comes in who needs a transfusion. The donation itself is as efficient and pain-free as possible; we will collect around 450ml from a dog donor and 20ml from a cat, typically from the jugular vein on their neck. Afterwards your pet will be able to have a little rest and something to eat, and will then be free to return home with you.
If you are interested in signing your pet up to become one of our registered blood donors, we would love to hear from you.
Simply call our practice on 01474 534891 and speak to a member of the team, who will be able to make all the necessary arrangements for you.

Single-payer health care is in the news again as candidates for state office stake out their positions and think tanks produce reports.
This is not a debate that can take place in headlines. Those will always reflect the extremes, always ignore the details, always appeal to those who have an aversion to facts that do not fit their preconceptions.
All that is unfortunate because New York has an opportunity when it comes to the single-payer debate, an opportunity to examine the issue, to get it right, to provide an example to the other states that might be interested and to then provide a model for the nation.


The striking Seven Rila Lakes in Bulgaria are a collection of glacial lakes, and can be found in the stunning Rila Mountains, in the north west of the country. The lakes are a major tourist attraction, and attract thousands of visitors to the area every year. They are located some 2 100 to 2 500 metres above sea level. The lakes each have their own individual characteristic features, and are named according to this.
Here we take a look at the seven Rila Lakes and start with the highest positioned first. Lake Salzata means "The Tear", and earns this name from it crystal clear water that allows you to see well into its hidden depths. Next is Lake Okoto or "The Eye", this is a name given to its perfect oval shape. It also has an intense blue when the weather is good. Okoto has a depth of over 37 metres, and is in fact the deepest lake in the whole of Bulgaria. Lake Babreka or "The Kidney" named from its appearance, and in addition has steep shores. Lake Biznaka or "The Twin" is at the foot of the Haramiyata peak, and is the largest in area. Lake Trilistnika or "The Trefoil" is famed for its uneven contour, and situated on the lower shores. Lake Ribnoto Ezer or "The Fish Lake" is a shallow lake, and it is here you will find tourist accommodation on the north east shore. The last of the seven is Lake Dolnoto Ezero or "The Lower Lake" which is located at the lowest point. This is where the water gathers from the other lakes and forms the River Dzherman. Fish such as minnows and trout can be found in some of the lower lakes. The higher lakes in general are not suitable for marine life to survive, due to the varying temperatures of the water as a result of being fed by rain and melted snow.
The Seven Rila lakes are an astonishing natural beauty, and are connected to one another by means of small streams and waterfalls. The best time to visit the lakes is in the summer months June, July and August, when there is less chance of storms, and temperatures average about 10 degrees Celsius. The weather at other times of the year is not suitable for tourists; occasionally the lakes freeze in October, and do not thaw until June.
The seven Rila lakes in Bulgaria are in a really wonderful setting, and have breathtaking views of the surrounding area of the Rila Mountains. A visit on a sunny day gives you the opportunity to breathe in the fresh air, and take in the wonderful atmosphere of the natural landscape around you. The lakes offer tourists fantastic opportunities for sightseeing, and outdoor activities for keen mountaineers and hikers. The area is a picturesque spectacle, so remember to take your camera for some unforgettable images.
The seven Rila lakes are situated in the Dangskiya region of the Rila Mountains, and are an outstanding natural attraction on the Balkan Peninsula. The seven Rila lakes of Mount Rila can be reached from all the Borovet trails. Special events are staged every year on 19 August, when a large crowd of the White Brotherhood or Danovites assemble to celebrate their New Year. This takes place close at the Kidney Lake, and involves a musical ritual of dancing in a large circle. The Rila Mountains are a special Holy place for the Danovites, and thousands gather every year to welcome the first light.
The beautiful lakes are a great place to visit, but be aware that to see the entire seven lakes it can take between 4 to 6 hours of walking to get to all of them. It is not for the faint hearted, there are some steep paths, and rocky climbs combined with heights, so be prepared! However, the view is astounding. If you choose to get around to see all of the seven lakes make sure you go well prepared with, hiking boots, raincoat, sunglasses, food, plenty of water and a camera. The start of the trail is fairly easy, and the complete hike is 10 km. A chair life - the Pionerska, will take you from the car park at the base to the top of the first level, and from here it leads to the rest of the lakes.
You will see plenty of fauna and flora en route, as well wildlife such as mountain goats grazing amid the wonderful scenery. The seven Rila lakes in Bulgaria are an amazing display of untouched, natural beauty and certainly worth a visit.

Mr. P wandered off for 3 days of motor sport Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had decided this was the weekend to paint the guest room and so Thursday night Mr. P got all the supplies ready for me to start that job on Friday. I thought it was pretty brave of me to tackle painting without other adult help.
I spent some of Friday morning making a list of things I needed to pick up from the hardware store. Mr. P dropped the bombshell that I would have to patch paint a spot on the ceiling that he had repaired -oh I dunno - in August last year but he assured me that he would paint the ceiling when he got home that night so I could continue painting the second and third coats on the walls Saturday. Mildly unhappy about having to touch the ceiling, I dropped Mr. P to the bus station and then made several stops on the way home including the JB's ( a girl has to have rocking music to paint) and the hardware store to get ceiling paint because I'd also been informed we didn't have any.
I finally made it back home at 12.30. Mother of Pyjamas called- and I spent 45 minutes talking to her. Then I ate lunch. Then I realised I had a hairdresser appointment at 3.00pm so it wasn't worth getting my painting clothes on for an hour and then having to stop to go get made pretty. I'm sure you know where this story is headed. That's right- no painting got done on Friday. And when Mr. P arrived home from his day at the race he also conveniently forgot all about the ceiling so not only did I have patch painting to do I also now had a ceiling to paint as well.
I finally sanded the walls at 3.45pm. Two spots the size of a dinner plate. Big whoop.
And then like Manna from Heaven I got a phone call that something I has made enquiries about buying was available so I made sure I procrastinated coming home and by the time I got here it was too late to rip open the wall paint. I congratulated myself and went and ate dinner.
Saturday night I tried to sand the ceiling and convinced myself that it was all too hard. Sanding ceilings without a proper ladder isn't exactly actually my favourite job - and not being able to find the mouse sander made it even harder, so I gave up. Then I spent half an hour justifying why I couldn't paint anything until the ceiling was sanded and painted and since I'd decided I wasn't going to be doing that it looked like painting was off.
The rest of the weekend was punctuated by "Oh Shiny" moments. I'd have an idea, get motivated enough to start and then get bored 30 minutes in. Repeatedly.
This occurred with a selvage cushion I started making, which morphed into selvage zig zag blocks for a quilt , and after three of them, I turned them into selvage HST's which I also got bored with after making about four.
By this time, even if I'd wanted to work on the triangle quilt I couldn't find it in the mess that used to be my sewing room..so I went to lay on the lounge and fell asleep for 4 hours. By the time I woke up it was 4.30pm Sunday. Weekend over !
And you know what? My lack of motivation extended to this post because I couldn't even be bothered to add pictures.
Let's hope this malady doesn't hang around too long!
Aaah, if procrastination was an Olympic sport, you would be standing on the podium singing Advance Australia Fair right now! Don't worry though as you will have me standing in second place because I love procrastinating too...Australians all let us rejoice....lalala!
I may have to fight you and Cardy for the procrastination crown. At least you had a semi relaxing weekend when you weren't worrying about the painting. I still think you need to change the name of your nana naps to nana comas.
Your post made me laugh (again!). It's amazing how easy it is to procrastinate if you have a whole weekend to do it.
LOL!!! your story had me so entertained I didn't notice the lack of photos. I was amazed that you were going to paint when Mr was out of the house, surely having the house to yourself is relaxo time.
Oh my. You got further than I would have because I don't think I would have done much more than stir the paint!
Oh, that's the kind of weekend you had. At least Mr P trusts you with home improvement projects, My Guy hides the tools from me when he's gone to keep me out of mischief!
Avoidance behavior is actually and advanced form of the procrastination gene. You should be proud!
Sounds like a fun weekend......even if the painting wasn't done!
If you've taken the gold and silver that leaves the bronze for me .. glad you got some rest in. Isn't it interesting the way we all have our different ways of procrastinating ... at least you got some sewing in.
Lol! Your post cheered me enormously! I needed a good laugh! Your dilemma is why I was thrilled when my son finished his apprenticeship as a painter and decorator.
Painting is a professional job for "someone else" in my house...hate it, so can totally understand your weekend! Oh well, hope DH is up for painting this forthcoming long weekend - while you are sewing of course!
All I can say is I HATE painting.
PS...Still haven't grouted the tile. Maybe next week.
You deserved a relaxing weekend. I have no doubt that the painting will wait for you!
I fell behind again in reading & commenting. (In my defense, this was the beginning of my very busiest week at work and those weeks have practically no time left over for anything other than work).
I'm sorry your weekend didn't go as planned. Time is so precious and not getting things that you want done during your down time is so frustrating.
As a side-note, I really don't like painting, so I think you're brave for doing it. The waiting for the paint on the walls to dry between coats while figuring out how to keep the brushes and rollers and paint holders from drying out (other than cleaning them up completely) until it is time for the next coat is maddening. And clean-up is the worst.
I have days and weekends like that ALL THE TIME! I am a master procrastinator! Drives my hubby crazy, but I cook for him every once in a while so he deals with it.

The Cast Of EuroTrip: What They Look Like From The Movie And Now
In 2004, this American teen comedy won Nickelodeon Teen Choice award for Choice Movie Your Parents Didn't Want You To See! This early millennial movie was a mixture of teenage heartbreak, adventure, and winning at love while trying to come of age in America while going to any lengths to succeed.
The film revolves around Hudson Ohio's Scotty Thomas whose antics are touching, wild, funny, and sometimes insane. When he finds out his high school girlfriend was stepping out on him, he dumps her right after graduation He and his group of friends venture on their EuroTrip in search of his German pen pal, Mieke, who he at first thought was a male. He realizes he has feelings for this mysterious German teen as they get to know each other.
This $20 billion plus box office grossing hit movie has taken a motley trip of its own over the years as its stars, both American and International, have truly undergone a change in looks, personality, and life. That is what happens when we grow up! Here is what these—sometimes famous, sometimes starting off as unknown—stars look like now and how time has changed them from the once younger and more free-spirited.
The Years Have Been Kind To Matt Damon
Boston native Matt Damon was in his 30's when he agreed, just because he was in Prague filming for another set, to play Donny in EuroTrip. Damon shaved his head and played a punk rock sort complete with tattoos and piercings and a signature wild look. He was the bandmate with whom Scotty's girlfriend was cheating on him with.
When we look at Matt Damon back then in 2004, he already had a few hits under his belt. He also still looked relatively young, especially with the shaved head, punk rocker look going on. He has transformed this look to accommodate different parts and jobs that he has worked over the years. Today, this Beantown boy is sporting a few wrinkles under his boy next door furrowed brow.
Scott Mechlowicz Retained His Boyish Good Looks
Scott David Mechlowicz, born in the Big Apple, is the star of EuroTrip playing Scott "Scotty" Thomas who just graduated high school. Mechlowicz, who is now in his late 30's, has darker features in 2018. His brown hair and eyebrows have darkened quite a bit and he has more of a distinctive look about him.
Back in 2004, even though in his 20's, he still sported the look of a baby-faced, fresh out of high school kid just looking to find himself and mend his broken heart.
Today he still has his signature bushy eyebrows and handsome look, not so baby-faced anymore! He is still best known for his lead in this film, although Mechlowicz still went on to work his charm in several other roles throughout the next several years.
Jacob Pitts Hasn't Changed A Bit
Jacob Pitts played shaggy-haired Cooper Harris in EuroTrip in 2004. In his late 30's now, Pitts played, in his early 20's, the girl-crazy, goofy best friend of Scotty Thomas. Going along with his true bestie, he is all in for a trip to Europe and all of the shenanigans that surely evolve around it.
We still see the goofiness in Pitts' smile which appears to be the same smirk from 2004 when we see photos but considering his age he's still doing lots of acting including some work with FX. Jacob Pitts, the Connecticut-born actor, sports a more dramatic and slightly more conservative look today as he continues working in Hollywood and can be seen in a starring role in the American crime drama Justified. We definitely would not have given a gun to Cooper in 2004!
Michelle Trachtenberg Has Truly Come Into Her Own
Michelle Trachtenberg was not even 20 when she starred in the 2004 EuroTrip movie as wild teenager Jenny, one of a set of fraternal twins and classmates of Scotty Thomas. This New York-born actress began her film career in 1996 in Harriet The Spy although boasts a handful of previous commercial appearances as a child.
This strawberry blonde back in 2004 beauty really shined through in her role as Jenny and she just kept going from 2004 on. Today, nearly 15 years later, she looks amazing and is even on Reddit's hottest celeb list! She had many roles since EuroTrip including Gossip Girl, Weeds and 17 Again. She definitely has one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and uses it to her advantage!
Travis Wester—Kinda Steamy
In his mid-30's, Travis Wester had already been acting for a bit making his way to Hollywood stardom by playing the role of Austin Sanders in Beverly Hills, 90210. Although in his 30's, this baby-faced actor was able to play Michelle Trachtenberg's (who played the character of Jenny) teenaged fraternal twin, Jamie.
Looking young and pasty white during his European expeditions—first with his sister and then with his friends—Wester clutches a camera and looks the tourist part. Today he is still successfully acting and has wrapped his resume around a quite a few television and movie appearances, including Justified and Six Feet Under to name a few. He is aging nicely and although a bit scruffier in the face and with darker hair, Travis looks like he's still in his 30's!
Jessica Boehrs Is Still Melting Hearts
At the age of only 24, German singer and actress, Jessica Boehrs melted hearts playing, Mieke, the pen pal and love affection of Scotty Thomas in 2004's EuroTrip. This blue-eyed, light blond beauty not only has an amazing voice but has aged well, too. Her right white smile still exists today even in her late 30's and after many years of hard work behind the lens and in front of the microphone.
Boehrs still lives in Germany and has since married. She still sings and acts as she should with her youthful glow and talent. Although EuroTrip was her primary American film, she has played in many German roles since. She is looking great for her age and still maintains her long light blonde hair wooing audiences with those piercing blue eyes.
Kristin Kreuk—Toned Down
Canadian born and bred, actress Kristin Laura Kreuk, played the mean girl and cheating Fiona and ex-girlfriend of heartbroken Scotty Thomas. This beauty of an actress is half Chinese and half Canadian and her exotic look has captured audiences all over the world. She is another one who has only gotten more beautiful and elegant with age. When she starred in EuroTrip she was only in her early 20's. Now at the sparkling age of 35, she recently finished up some quality work with the WB network starring as Catherine Chandler in the television series Beauty and the Beast. Her distinctive, dark and mysterious features and giant smile make her look amazing even in 2018. She hasn't been doing much in Hollywood, but she's still making waves on a TV series 'Burden Of Truth'.
Vinnie Jones—Still Stern
A little less than 10 years ago, this EuroTrip actor starred in Big Brother 7 as one of the housemates. Vinnie Jones played Mad Maynard, testosterone-laden football leader of a Manchester United team. In real life, he also has played football in England for many years but has since retired. He was well-known for his aggressive style of play which demonstrates similarity to his personality in EuroTrip.
Even though nearly 15 years have passed, Jones still maintains a trademark shaved head and a look that begs you to defy him. He and his wife have both recently been in treatment for skin cancer and malignant cancer removal, but considering, both are doing well. Jones still resides in England but has starred a variety of English and American film and television roles.
Joanna Lumley—Irons In The Fire
Joanna Lumley plays a hostel worker and clerk in Europe in 2004 hit EuroTrip. Back then, while she was already in her 50's, she was super sophisticated sporting her puffy blond locks that appeared to be dyed from original gray, but far from tacky. Do we blame this epic English Actress?
She has been modeling and acting (as well as writing!) since 1957 and has gone through two divorces. Of course, she has some gray hairs she's hiding. Despite all of that and some crow's feet, she is still smiling and glowing and acting, oh and hosting. She most recently hosted the 71st British Academy Film Awards looking fabulous and flashing a huge smile of gratitude.
Fred Armisen Is A Whole New Man
This United States born actor and comedian is most famous for his work on Saturday Night Live. In 2004, he played the part of a creepy Italian guy in EuroTrip. He is seen today with his dark-rimmed glasses and looking mysterious. Back in 2004, this comedian and writer was larger in the waistline in a light salmon-colored suit and tie and creepy has all heck with his small black squiggly 'stache.
Today, at the age of 51, he is tall, dark and handsome—and not creepy at all! This talented guy has played dozens of roles in television and film and his most recent appearance being as the voice of KVN in Final Space, an animated adult science fiction show on TBS. Although he suffers from a slightly receding hairline, he still is lucky enough to have a full head of dark hair!
J.P. Manoux—Down To Earth
Miming is clearly a part of this American actor and comedian's bag of tricks. Jean-Paul Manoux has played a mime before in television once on the drama series ER and also in the 2004 film, EuroTrip where he played the spacy, silver robotic mime from Louvre. Sans the seriously metallic miming getup in EuroTrip, Manoux looks stunningly great and somewhat the same at the age of 48 as he did miming in EuroTrip in 2004.
Most of his appearances are without hair and he can be seen flashing a very serious smile complete with wide opened eyes. He looks well-groomed, handsome, and not as silver today, but still is active in Hollywood as he has been since 1994.
Patrick Malahide—A Pillar Of Proper British Etiquette
Patrick Malahide has been acting and working long hours to enhance his practice for almost 45 years since 1975. This British born and based actor played Arthur Frommer in EuroTrip in 2004. Arthur Frommer is a writer and the founder of Frommer's Travel guides and books.
Although Malahide has been partially bald for a while—even while making a guest appearance as Frommer in EuroTrip—he still has aged a bit since his bowtie-wearing days. This has not stopped him, however, as he's still acting and scooping up parts.
Always looking as if his brows are slightly furrowed, this British actor has been looking serious in England and the United States playing parts on a multitude of British and American shows.
Lucy Lawless—Timeless Beauty
This 49-year-old New Zealand born comic and actress certainly knows how to go big or go home! From Xena: Warrior Princess where she became a lesbian icon for five full years and even longer with diehard fans, this brunette at the time went on to play Madame Vandersexxx. In this role, she was dark blonde wearing a "pleathery" material red dress with black "pleather" thigh highs and long black matching gloves to boot.
Looking fit and on point, Lawless commanded this smaller role just as much as she did in her Warrior Princess days. Although slightly older here, she certainly has not lost any mystery or beauty. Lawless ironically looks a bit like Melissa Etheridge in some of her more recent photos. She is still beautiful as she climbs close to half a century old.
Funny Man, Diedrich Bader
Diedrich Bader can definitely boast quite the acting resume. The American born and raised actor has starred in many favorites including Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite, Bones, and The Beverly Hillbillies to name a few. Bader went from curly mullet-sporting, stache wearing to preppy school-boy looking in his wide range of roles.
Today he looks much different from the role he played in EuroTrip as the mugger. He is clean cut, well-shaven and still working hard currently voicing over as the voice of Batman in Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and The Bold. Bader's piercing eyes and cute smile still shine through even though this 51-year-old has aged slowly throughout his career. He still has a full head of hair even if slightly receding along his dark hairline.
Jeffrey Tambor Is Killin' It
Jeff Tambor, in his late 50's at the time did a wonderful job playing Scott Thomas' father in EuroTrip in 2004. Back in 2004, just as today, Jeff Tambor sports a large, genuine flashy smile! Maybe it's the signature smile, but he certainly looks just as happy in photographs today as he did back then. Although now in his 70's, he looks great even with his grays poking through in the parts of his hair that he still has on his head. Even back in 2004, he had a little partial balding with patches of darker hair. His glasses only serve to make him look slightly more distinguished. He has performed in many hits such as Arrested Development and continues to work as an actor, comedian, and voice artist.

Coventry City director Mark Labovitch has announced a fans forum to be held on 27th June at the Parish Centre of the Church of Christ the King. He says that he thinks the Ricoh Arena dispute can't be properly resolved while so many of the key facts are kept covered up from fans, and wants ACL and the Council to answer questions along with others.
Certainly there are questions to be answered, but the time for the blame game has long gone. What is important is the future of our club.
The Trust has asked, but been unable to obtain proper and detailed answers from the owners/directors, to the following :
With the extremely low level of income base at Sixfields how can the directors put together a competitive player budget that meets the Salary Cost Management Protocol?
Which players are out of contract in June 2014 and 2015? What are the plans for bringing players in and will we avoid an FL embargo this year?
What is the connection between ARVO Master Fund Limited and the group of companies known as SISU aside from being joint shareholders in Otium?
What assets were acquired by Otium Entertainment Group from Coventry City Football Club Ltd and Coventry City FC (Holdings) Ltd and at what value?
The last accounts said there was an "intention" to continue to fund but not a "contractual certainty" does that mean the loans can be called in at any time?
Will any, or have any of the costs of the dispute with ACL/Charity/Council become a liability of Otium or CCFC either directly or indirectly?
How much is the annual interest liability on borrowings from ARVO and SISU investors? How will these payments be financed?
Why are the amounts owed to ARVO and SBS&L £42m now shown as payable within 12 months rather than long term liabilities?
How is £42m in borrowings, the funding of a new £20m stadium plus current losses until the stadium is built sustainable? In 3 years time that could be over £70m.
Do player sales form part of the plan to meet loan and loan interest repayments?
What is the targeted level of income expected from building the club's own stadium and how much of that income will be available to the football team? If all of it, how will the loans and interest be repaid?
Most importantly, when is our team coming back to its home in Coventry?
If you plan to attend this forum feel free to use these questions.
If you do not get proper answers ask them
Unfortunately, our survey software seems to have developed a glitch, which meant that some of our members didn't receive an invitation to take part in the survey, but the system thinks they did.
We apologise for that. If you haven't yet received an invitation, or cannot register on the survey page, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we'll send you one.

Hydrogen-powered Hopium Machina sedan unveils its interior
The design is conceived by automotive designer Félix Godard, - previously at Porsche, Tesla and Lucid. The model will be premiered at the 2022 Paris Motor Show, from 17 October to 23 October 2022.
Hopium Machina
New Delhi: The French manufacturer of high-end hydrogen-powered sedans today revealed its concept car, Hopium Machina Vision, and offers for the first time an immersion inside the cabin.
At the front, the pillar-to-pillar display provides a digital landscape of information, accessible to both driver and passenger. It can transform into a full or minimized layout as desired, in a wave-like motion. The haptic console offers a new sensory connection with the interface.
At the back, passengers can enjoy the comfort of uncompromising interior space and an unparalleled sky view.
All the materials used for the interior are of the highest quality for the vehicle to stand the test of time and keep its spark, while ensuring both transparency and traceability. These materials have been sourced in Europe to reduce their environmental impact.
The exterior design of the vehicle has been refined: Hopium Machina Vision displays a notchback silhouette that is both athletic and elegant, with a clever balance of proportions. The distinctive elements of Hopium Machina are also present, including the imposing grille that activates to optimize the cooling of the fuel cell system, and the signature lighting inspired by waves on the surface of water.
Hopium Machina Vision imagines the future of the Human/Machine relationship.
Hopium partners with Bridgestone to develop bespoke tyres for hydrogen-powered Hopium Machina
The tyres will be created using Bridgestone's proprietary Virtual Tyre Development technology, providing significant benefits in terms of both efficiency and sustainability, the company said.
Hopium develops prototypes of hydrogen-powered Machina on Dassault Systèmes3D Experience platform on the cloud
The 3D Experience platform provided Hopium with integrated design, engineering, and simulation applications in a cloud-based collaborative business experience. Hopium leveraged its experts' knowledge and knowhow into a single-data-model, end-to-end innovation environment from concept to prototype, accelerating design and improving overall efficiency while optimizing resources, the company said.

Cloning And Analysis Of The Nile Tilapia Toll-Like Receptor Type 5 Mrna Sequence
Reham R. Abouelmaatti; Mohamed Rady; Xiaokun Li; Jisheng Ma; Wael M.K. Elfeil
Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which detect infections in vertebrates, are the most thoroughly understood innate immune receptors. However, bony fish's TLRs shows distinct features and substantial diversity, which are likely originated from the variation in evolutionary history of fish and the distinct environments that they life in. there are a limited data about the structure of the fish immune system. Our work aimed to identify and clone and sequence the Nile tilapia TLR5 for the first time as a model for freshwater fish species. The full-length sequence of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) TLR-5 receptor has been identified, where it consisted of 2661 nucleotides. The consensus cDNA sequence showed 81% identity with the sequence from Takifugu rubripes, 77% identity with the sequence form Japanese flounder, and 75% identity with the sequence from Japanese medaka, which confirmed that the new sequence is considered probably homologous to fish TLR-5. The predicted protein structure encoded by the Nile tilapia TLR-5 mRNA composed of 887 amino acids, beginning with signal peptide as ATG, like other functional fish TLR-5 sequences. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence indicated that Nile tilapia TLR-5 has typical structural features and contains the main components of proteins in the TLR family. Our results reveal a complete and functional Nile tilapia TLR-5 that is orthologous to other vertebrate receptors

Home/See & Do/Birding
Northumberland is a prime birding area with scenic countryside including the Greenbelt (the Oak Ridges Moraine, Rice Lake Plains, Peter's Woods, and Ganaraska and Northumberland Forests), as well as Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Ferris Provincial Park and 15 conservation areas. Combine this with over 70 kilometers of Lake Ontario shoreline, cedar bogs and rocky and sandy fields, and you have bird watching glory.
At The Shoreline
Presqu'ile Provincial Park is one of Ontario's best bird watching locations with over 335 species sightings recorded. The park is best known for its large numbers and diversity of waterfowl, warblers, and shorebirds that migrate each spring and fall. Presqu'ile Provincial Park welcomes the public to celebrate the migration at Waterfowl Weekend, Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend, and the Monarchs and Migrants Weekend.
In The Marsh and Wetlands
With Rice Lake surrounded by fertile waters, forest, and marsh lands you are sure to spot various grassland birds, migratory song birds, eagles, herons, and osprey to name a few. Rice Lake is one of the main migratory paths and offers some rare bird sightings. Visit the Rice Lake Conservation Area or use one of our public docks in Harwood, Bewdley and Gore's Landing for viewing.
The Brighton Wetlands are another hot spot to watch birds in their habitat. From mid April to late October, close to 100 species of birds call the wetlands home. Tours are available by contacting Keith Lee at 613-849-8920.
Overall, you'll find bird counts happening in January, June and December and the public is most welcome to join in. Roger Frost (ekrf@eagle.ca or 905-885-9615), can help narrow some dates down for you.
Bird-related events, like guided hikes, take place through land trusts in Northumberland: the Northumberland Land Trust, and the Black Oak Savanna in Alderville. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has several properties in Northumberland with the most recent acquisition being the Hazel Bird Nature Reserve.

Beverley hat einen wunderbaren Preis für Euch!
What a great-great sentiment! lol! I would certainly love to eat that candy! And the embossed background is very clever!
This is CAS perfection! I love the score lines behind the candy!!
Love the way you made an embossed background for that yummy doughnut with its candy sprinkles. Cool card Christine.
Gorgeous card Christine - looks good enough to eat!!! Love the kraft card you've used.
What a fabulous card Christine. Wonderful doughnut. The score lines make a perfect background.
This is great Christine! I love the embossing you did behind the donut. So clever!
I came over here from Addicted to CAS to tell you how much I like your card! The simplest part of the card caught my attention - the score lines behind the donut!
