Our courses are tailor made to each student's needs.
One of our student's greatest concerns is whether every person in the group will have the same level as them. Understandably this is a worry that we take very seriously. We have different level tests to have an idea of the overall level. Before offering a group we ask about previous studies and experiences abroad. Also, what we offer is something, which is quite unique, which is the possibility to try the lesson, if you don't like it or you think that your level is not right for the class we can talk about it and look at alternatives.
Our students are divided by age as well as level.
We have 1, 2, and 3 hours weekly courses depending on the student's age.
The youngest students (3, 4 and 5 year olds) come to class once a week for one hour. We have specially equipped classrooms for their comfort. Our method is purely oral and visual, making them have a good time at the same time as they effortlessly learn and get accustomed to another language.
From 6 to 18 year olds, they come for two hours a week divided in two days. With these students we look at their needs, what we aim to achieve is to teach them at a higher level to what they are used to, increasing their vocabulary, getting used to expressing themselves in another language, also to cover the gaps and bad habits they may have oral exams. It is an excellent way to encourage all students to put their knowledge into practice. It's a very positive experience. For students who are sitting the "Selectividad " picked up along the way (primary, secondary education).
For all of these students we encourage and prepare them for the officials exams we find this very useful especially with a strong possibility that the Selectividad exam may be oral in the near future.
For students of over 18 years of age we strongly recommend everyone to take the Cambridge exams, First Certificate, Advanced, and Proficiency since these are the most recognised around the world. These courses are very comprehensive for everyone, even those who are not interested in taking the exams learn a lot by studying the exam coursework.
For those students who want to start from zero or those who have started many times and have reached a certain level but have given up, we have very practical methods which have been very enjoyable and effective. From basic, to elementary, pre-intermediate and intermediate, all of these courses are interactive, putting special stress on speaking the language.
Whatever your level may be or your motive for studying languages we welcome everybody with open arms to be part of the Britannia family. We take pride in knowing students personally and to make them feel comfortable and happy with our school.
We also collaborate with a school of English in Cambridge and London who offer all types of courses all year round.

In the book Love for No Reason, author Marci Shimoff describes the following four categories of love on the love continuum.
NO LOVE is one of the three conditional categories on the love continuum. Feelings of fear and anxiety are hallmarks of No Love. Our hearts are shut down; we feel fear, anger, hate, and suffering. We feel empty, bored, disengaged, disconnected, or lonely. We may lash out at people around, especially those we think are causing our pain. People may find themselves in this state when dealing with grief, depression or trauma. Sometimes professional treatment is needed to overcome the state of No Love.
LOVE FOR BAD REASON is the second CONDITIONAL category on the love continuum. Love for Bad Reason is concerned with "being loved" to fill a void inside ourselves. It isn't about appreciation or true caring; it's about trying to escape or ease our emptiness. A person may be obsessed on getting a "love fix." This state is the basis of all addictions and in the long run erodes our health on all levels-body, mind and spirit. Codependency falls into this category. People who are co-dependent get swallowed up in the lives of others in an effort to fill the vacuum inside. They want to please the other person-in order to get love back.
LOVE FOR GOOD REASON is the third CONDITIONAL category on the Love Continuum. This is what most people understand as love. It's when you deeply appreciate or feel connected to certain people, situations, or even material objects. When you love for good reason, you feel inspired to contribute to others and are able to both give and receive. This type of love is healthy and strengthens you. This type of love has some limitations. The main problem is that it's linked to reasons, and if those reasons change, your love usually changes too. For example, if you love your spouse because he or she is wonderful to be with and then your spouse disappoints or betrays you, where does your love go? Love that depends on any reason can come and go.
LOVE FOR NO REASON is the only UNCONDITIONAL category on the Love Continuum. This is the higher love-an inner state of pure love that doesn't depend on other people, external conditions, or circumstances. It's a love we experience from the inside out. You don't need a reason-you love just because. When you love for no reason, you bring love to your outer experiences, rather than try to extract love from them.
The ultimate test of Love for no Reason is feeling the same love for someone who doesn't reciprocate as you do for someone who loves you back.
Now that you have considered the four categories of love it's time to take the love quiz.
1. I move through my day feeling grounded—aware, awake, and appreciative of what is happening in the present moment.
2. I feel connected to the natural world, including animals, plants, water, mountains, etc.
3. I feel supported by my friends and family, and by a friendly universe.
4. I have a lot of physical energy and am able to feel my feelings without resisting or suppressing them.
5. I feel deserving of love and am able to be assertive without being aggressive.
6. I feel an abundance of love in my heart—I give and receive from a sense of fullness.
7. I am a good communicator. I express how I really feel and listen without being defensive.
8. I am intuitive and see the beauty all around me.
9. I experience periods of acceptance and/or peace on a daily basis.
10. I feel connected to a power larger than myself and feel higher love flowing through me.

Alarming Amounts of ADHD-Causing Artificial Colors Found in Kid-Popular Foods
Home / Science & Medicine / Backwards: Natural Compounds in Grapefruit Removed to Prevent Medication Reactions
Backwards: Natural Compounds in Grapefruit Removed to Prevent Medication Reactions
by Mike BarrettPosted on March 7, 2013
How attached have we become to the pharmaceutical industry? If a negative reaction is triggered while combining certain medications and real foods, do scientists move to alter and fix the medication? Rather than altering the medication in question, scientists are actually removing naturally occurring compounds found in various fruit instead. This is the case with compounds known as furanocoumarins, found in fruit like grapefruits, celery, and lemons.
In an attempt to force nature to coexist with pharmaceutical drugs, researchers from the University of Florida have moved to create a new grapefruit low in compounds that negatively interact with certain medications. For the new creation, researchers had to cross genes between a grapefruit and a pomelo, which are naturally low in furanocoumarins. The resulting fruit is also low in furanocoumarins, allowing patients taking these medications to do so without a negative interaction sparked by consuming the fruit.
"There are certain relatives of grapefruit that we call pummelo, some of which are very, very low or have no furanocoumarins in them at all. And we've crossed these with ordinary grapefruit." Fred Gmitter, a citrus geneticist at the University of Florida.
One of the largest hospital-based research institutes, The Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Canada, is just one organization that has studied the connection between grapefruit consumption and medications' reactions. In 2008, the institute compiled a list of 17 medications that should not be combined with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.
Now, that medication figure has increased to 44. Many of these medications are extremely common – with cholesterol drugs like Lovastatin, Lipitor, and a heart disease medication called Amlodipine in the mix. What's worse, 13 of the added medications could lead to sudden death.
In addition to grapefruits, limes, Seville oranges, Minneolas, and sweeties are also "culprits."
In a nation where pharmaceuticals reign supreme over natural healing, it isn't so surprising to see natural foods being altered over synthetic medications. While some researchers are excited about the new findings, as furanocoumarins could make certain medications 500% stronger, the rest of us are awestruck to say the least.
Check here for a longer list of medications that shouldn't be taken with grapefruit juice. After that, learn how you can replace the medication with natural solutions. But if you're someone not taking any of these medications already, you can always enjoy the health benefits of grapefruit without a scare.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science.

This is madness. It is unlwaful, too, surely? Just a thought… don't take the damn drugs and you won't need to take the soul out of the fruit. Those drugs will kill you anyway. And the fruit is tehre to help if left in its natural state, whichour scientists seem to be incapable of doing. We will all pay a hefty price for attempting to redesign something that evolved and survived over millions of years. Why are these psychopaths allowed to get their own way?
The cross breading of wheat is what caused the gluten leven in wheat to rise to a point were it has such a negitive effect on our bodies. When will they learn that they are not smarter than nature. It is extra sickening that they are not even doing it to improve mankind they are doing it to improve there wallets.
itsonlyausername says:
High gluten is demanded by the mills and the bakeries because it makes bread rise better, lighter in texture and also fluffier. Not stodgy like low gluten wheat bread, which is actually better for you.
Mary ausdahl says:
@ Josh…i believe it was genetic modification not cross breeding that did that…gm is a whole different thing that mixes plant and animal dna inserts dna that has survived nucular waste for the purpose of crops surviving different weather conditions and the harsher chemicals sprayed…crossbreeding around forever…all wheat corn soy gmo's pretty much…
Actually it was cross breeding. GM has not been used on wheat crops because the farmers don't want it. The only place GM wheat is or was grown is in trials in the UK which we have protested about intensely.

UCR: Tinwood Lane
Location: Tinwood Ln, Chichester, West Sussex PO18, UK
Location: Crockerhill, West Sussex.
OS Explorer Map 121, 'Arundel & Pulborough'.
To see: RAF Tangmere & museum, Boxgrove Priory, Devil's Ditch, Boxgrove Pit 4x4 Driving Centre.
Tinwood Lane begins by striking out westbound at a crossroads on the unusually titled road 'Great Ballard School'. Initially on a tarmac surface, the lane passes some equestrian land (and a new house, by the look of it) as far as a wood with another unusual title: 'Van Diemens'. On entering the woodland the tarmac ends, the surface becomes mud and leaf mould intersected by tree roots and the green lane begins to descend downhill slightly. Encroaching foliage is never a real worry. At this point on the Ordnance Survey map it looks as though the UCR branches off and parallels the main track for a short distance, but judging by the number of 'Private' signs and locks on the metal gate this is apparently not the case!
Turning subtly southwards and then climbing back uphill, the byway crosses Boxgrove Common and then follows the boundary of an old quarry called Boxgrove Pit: now an off-road driving centre and the perfect venue to act like a vandal, rather than doing so on the green lanes! Further on still the track turns sharply to the north-west and quickly ends back on the tarmac after passing Keeper's Cottage. Not the most fascinating lane in the area, but worth a drive if you happen to be passing.
Historically, the immediate surrounding area is far more interesting. The legendary RAF Tangmere is situated just over the A27 to the south of this byway, not a huge amount remains other than the control tower and some taxiways, but it's museum is worth a look. Just to the west is Boxgrove Priory, a very pretty, large and old church built on top of an even earlier Anglo-Saxon one. To the north-west can be found part of the extensive Devil's Ditch, which is part of the Chichester Entrenchments dug in the iron age and are believed to be a defensive feature to protect the area from attacks by more northerly tribes. Boxgrove Pit 4x4 Driving Centre is open on the second sunday of every month.

US insurer Anthem is set to pay the government $16 million in settlement fees after suffering the biggest healthcare breach in the country's history.
The settlement is the largest on record under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), though Anthem still claims no wrongdoing.
The privacy violation settlement relates to a cyber-attack between December 2014 and January 2015, which resulted in the personally identifiable information of 79 million people being exposed.
Names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers were among the details stolen in the hack.
A statement from the Department of Health and Human Services blamed Anthem's "inappropriate" security measures.
But a spokesperson from the insurance company said it does not accept any wrongdoing.
Anthem reported the breach to authorities in March 2015. It concluded that a single employee responded to a malicious email sent via a spear-phishing campaign, giving hackers access to company systems.
OCR claims that Anthem failed to identify or respond to security attacks and did not implement adequate minimum access controls.
The insurance firm has agreed to pay the $16 million, and also has agreed to review its practices to comply with HIPAA rules.
A statement posted on the company website reads: "Anthem has reached a settlement to completely resolve the multi-district class action litigation brought against Anthem and other defendants relating to the 2015 cyber-attack.
"Under the settlement, which was preliminarily approved by the court on August 25, 2017, Anthem does not admit any wrongdoing or acknowledge that any individuals were harmed as a result of the cyber-attack.
This latest settlement is another headache for the healthcare company, which agreed last year to pay $115 million to victims in a class action lawsuit.
Of this figure, more than $37 million was allocated to legal fees, $17 million was paid out to Experian, for handling the credit monitoring for victims, and an unknown figure was assigned to government taxes.
Individual victims will have to submit claims for a share of the settlement, not exceeding $15 million.
Anthem has now overtaken Memorial Healthcare Systems as the company paying the biggest HIPAA fine to date.
Back in February 2017, Memorial was charged $5.5 million when a former employee was able to access the records of 115,143 patients due to their user account not having been terminated.
In August 2016, Advocate Health was handed with a $5.5 million penalty for "multiple violations" of HIPAA, including the compromise of four million patients' records.
And in June this year, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was fined $4.35 million for three separate data breaches, after an unencrypted laptop and two unencrypted USB drives were stolen.

Like many middle grade books, the story contains valuable life lessons: Oscar and Lourdes not only learn how to win gracefully, but how to play without fear of losing. VERDICT This sporty science fiction story's suspense, humor, and likeable characters give it broad appeal for middle grade readers."
Lisa Goldstein, BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY
Oscar Indigo: "Teague weaves the tale with gentle expressions of teamwork, friendship, honesty, and compassion. Fantasy feels real, and it all works beautifully. . . .Suspend all disbelief and enjoy."
Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
How did I get started?
This may sound strange, but the whole Oscar Indigo story started when I saw a guy at a baseball game with a stopwatch. Of course, the one sport in which you don't need a watch is baseball, because in baseball, time doesn't matter. You just keep playing until somebody wins, no matter how long it takes. So I started imagining what this guy could possibly be up to. And then it became obvious. He was involved in a plot to destroy the universe! And ps: I modeled Eleanor Ethel Ellington on my grandmother.
Where do I write?
I write at the kitchen table and in the sunroom and on the couch and at the coffee shop. First, I stare into space and dream about things, and then I jot an outline in my notebook, after which I write my chapters in the notebook. Then I type everything into my laptop. And fiddle with it for weeks and months and years.
Do I have any pets?
Yes! Finny and Huxley, Yorkshire Terriers who are brothers. Finn and Hux are very large, tiny dogs, which might seem like an oxymoron, but not to anyone who's ever met them.
What was one of my favorite books?
The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It's about Will Stanton, who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is an Old One, destined to play a crucial part in the struggle between Light and Dark. I read it when I was eleven, and was fascinated to think that a kid my age could be so important in the overall scheme of things!

During a week of camp, a camper will be served 14 meals at Mt. Lou San and various snacks throughout the week. A camper will also be allowed to purchase food items from our snack shop. We are aware that children have various food allergies and sensitivities. Unfortunately, due to time restraints and the volume of food served at each meal, Mt. Lou San does not offer special dietary menus.
If you feel your child needs supplemental or replacement food, you may deliver the food to the camp kitchen on the day of registration during our check-in times (2:00-4:00). Due to health codes and the risk of cross contamination, our food service staff cannot cook individual meals. Everything must be pre-made, pre-cooked, and pre-packaged in serving size containers. We can make a refrigerator, freezer, dry storage, or a microwave available. Please label the containers with camper name, along with the date and the meal the food should be served.
Campers who attend camp at Mt. Lou San with severe food allergies must be very aware of their allergy and what they can and cannot eat. Since the severity of food allergies varies, Mt. Lou San trusts the parent to decide if the camp environment is safe for your child's health. If you feel that it is, we will do what we can to make the week safe for your camper. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding food service, email our administrator.

THERE'S A MEMORABLE SCENE IN THE 2002 FILM FRIDA in which actresses Salma Hayek and Ashley Judd engage in a seductive dance. It was at a party hosted by Judd's character, photographer Tina Modotti, who was a prominent figure in the avant-garde circles of 1920s Mexico. She also photographed the image above.
An Italian immigrant attracted to the performing arts, Modotti worked as an actress and model in California, appearing on stage, as well as in film. She met photographer Edward Weston in Los Angeles, who became her lover and photography mentor. The two opened a portrait studio in Mexico City, where Modotti also photographed many of the murals painted by Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco.
While Weston's photographs were more abstract in style, Modotti's images were influenced by her political views, and her sympathy towards the peasant class. One of her most recognized photographs feature an anonymous worker's hands, resting on a tool. The powerful image captures a pause from hard labor, while suggesting the imminent resumption of work. This particular photograph has been exhibited across Mexico and the United States since 1995, after the re-discovery of Modotti's prints shined a new light on her legacy. In 2013, the photo was shown at London's Royal Academy of Arts.
Beyond photography, Modotti was an activist for the Comintern, spending over a decade entangled in murder investigations and exile. In 1939, she returned to Mexico under a pseudonym, and in 1942, died from heart failure on her way home from a dinner at poet Pablo Neruda's home. He composed her epitaph: Pure your gentle name, pure your fragile life; bees, shadows, fire, snow, silence and foam; combined with steel and wire and pollen to make up your firm and delicate being.
Modotti's body of photographic work reflects two distinct periods in her career, which have been described as romantic, and revolutionary. I personally think photographs from both periods share a certain tranquility. You wouldn't expect it after reading about Modotti's tumultuous involvements, but passion can take many forms across an individual's varied pursuits. As in Neruda's tribute, Modotti was both a firm and delicate being.

Argentine teachers begin school year with a national strike

Tens of thousands of Argentine teachers and supporters marched Monday to the Argentine Congress as part of a 48-hour national strike Monday and Tuesday to initiate the school year. The action was staged in protest against cuts in public education spending and attempts by the government to drastically reduce the real wages of teachers, offering a 15 percent raise when inflation reached 25 percent last year, and is expected to be similar this year.
Coming a month after the right-wing government of President Mauricio Macri brutally repressed protests by hundreds of thousands of youth and workers against pension cuts, the strike expresses the ongoing resistance among workers to the brutal social attacks.
According to estimates of the Argentine government, about 30 to 35 percent of public teachers nationwide participated in the strike, while the Buenos Aires province reports a 47 percent walkout. The major education trade union, the CTERA, which is a branch of the right-wing CTA union confederation, insists that the strike was observed in 85 percent of Argentine public schools.
Significantly, in the provinces of Cordoba and Mendoza, home of some of the most militant workers recently and historically, marked by the uprisings at the height of the Argentine workers' movement known as the Cordobazo in 1969, and Mendozazo in 1972, the numbers were the lowest, with the unions admitting a majority went to work.
A relatively low participation in these areas reflects the sentiment among more and more workers that the trade unions cannot be pressured into leading a struggle that defends their social rights.
Under pressure of the health care workers and other state employees, the CTA was obliged to convoke a one-day strike for these sectors on Tuesday in the province of Buenos Aires, with workers calling for higher salaries and public investment in education and health. The Buenos Aires government of the ruling Cambiemos coalition under María Eugenia Vidal is currently closing dozens of public schools and carrying out mass firings.
However, perhaps the starkest attacks against teachers are being carried out in Santa Cruz province by the Peronist, Alicia Kirchner, sister of the ex-president Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007). After cutting real wages for teachers in 2016 by 7 percent, she sought another massive cut of 20 percent last year, leading workers to strike for over 100 days. Kirchner has avoided making an offer so far this year.
At the national level, real wages measured by the Ministry of Education fell for teachers between 2011 and 2015, during the second term in office of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and are currently more than 5 percent below the 2011 level.
As a means of dividing the workforce, governors of all provinces had agreed last November and December to a "fiscal deal" with the Macri administration, including keeping salary negotiations at a provincial level but abiding by the limits imposed by the Casa Rosada, Macri's presidential palace. In accordance with these dictates, the trade unions and local governments of seven provinces reached back-room, sell-out deals before this week's strike and ordered the workers not to join their colleagues across the country.
"There is no nationwide conflict; the provinces are the ones that have to discuss and settle differences," Macri provocatively declared on Monday. An official declaration also underscored that teachers will not be paid for either day they miss and will lose an ARS$6,000 (US$300) attendance bonus.
On the other hand, trade union leaders have sought to limit the demands of the teachers. The head of the SUTEBA-CTA trade union, Roberto Baradel, who presents himself as more loyal to the teachers, simply called for a "trigger clause" to supposedly compensate teachers if inflation goes beyond the settled increase.
However, a lawyer for the CTA's own "Social Rights" think tank, Luis Campos, commented to the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS) press last June that "in terms of a more political evaluation, I think that it's a necessity to publicly present agreements that don't have a very significant salary increase and, in this way, making them more palatable. What is true is that the ["trigger" or inflation-control] clauses don't protect automatically in any way the salaries of the workers."
Not wanting to harm its close relations with the leaders of a trade union bureaucracy of which it is a part, the Morenoite PTS doesn't comment on such blatant affirmations of the key role that the trade unions play in suppressing opposition and directly imposing the government's austerity measures.
Their coverage of the 48-hour strike simply sought to orient workers fully to the CTA bureaucrats, Sonia Alesso and Hugo Yasky, calling on them and the other right-wing central, the CGT, to present a "plan of struggle" to resist Macri's social attacks. Moreover, they fed into the CTA promises of further mobilizations in April and into the illusions that this demobilization scheme, almost identical to last year's, will result in a broader struggle among workers.
Not only do teachers share the same demands as the rest of the working class—a secure job, decent salaries, benefits and pensions, quality health care and public education, investments in public infrastructure—but teacher negotiations in Argentina have historically been used as a reference point for the rest of the public and private sectors.
Moreover, the defense of public education has become a front line of class struggle internationally, with the ruling class seeking to antagonize teachers as "privileged" and "selfish," while their living standards and those of the majority of workers continue to fall.
On the other hand, the wealth of the financial aristocracy in Argentina and internationally has enjoyed an unprecedented boom amid a stagnating real economy. The South American stock markets saw some of the highest jumps in the world last year—50.5 percent in Buenos Aires, followed by Santiago (44 percent) and Lima (31 percent), all well above the US Dow Jones index (25 percent).
Such financial speculation soars thanks to the most ruthless transfer of wealth from the working class to the bourgeoisie through regressive taxes, public bond speculation, austerity measures and attacks against health benefits, pensions, wages and jobs.
As harbingers of the resurgence of the class struggle currently being experienced internationally, workers in precisely those countries demonstrated an enormous will to fight last year, with two million Chileans marching against the privatized pension system in March, hundreds of thousands of Argentine teachers leading a national strike that month, and more than 200,000 Peruvian teachers carrying out a national strike for two months in July and August.
At the same time, regressive education "reforms" have been implemented in one country after the next, initiated with Mexico's in 2013, imposed through a brutal crackdown epitomized by the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa student teachers in September 2014. Most recently, Washington and Puerto Rican authorities have been seeking to exploit the destruction wrought by Hurricane María to implement a generalized privatization of education on the island, which is virtually certain to be used as an example for the rest of Latin America and the US.
As Latin American governments prepare for challenges from the working class internally and greater competition for markets abroad, they have increased their national security and military spending. Macri has been carrying out a renewal of Argentina's armed forces with a $2 billion package since entering office, while the Obama administration more than tripled its security aid to Argentina in 2016.
Just as in West Virginia, the discussions between the state legislators over the teachers' strike have centered around its impact on Wall Street credit ratings, the Argentine authorities are paying more attention to the demands of the parasites in the global financial centers than to the denunciations by students and teachers of the horrendous conditions in the classrooms and at home imposed by a capitalist system that places above all else the imperative of immediate profits for the capitalist class.
Against the same financial oligarchs, workers in Argentina, West Virginia and internationally need to free themselves from the nationalist shackles and reformist illusions enforced by the capitalist political establishments and their servants in the trade unions by organizing independent rank-and-file committees and unifying their struggle into an international political movement against the capitalist system.

¿How does porn influence technology?
At first sight it may seem that porn and technology are two things that have no direct relationship between them, but we can tell you that porn has been the anchor of most technological supports. In this article we will analyze where in the advance of technology porn has been essential to lay its foundations and we promise you will be surprised.
The Video Home System (VHS)
In the 1970s two formats were struggling to establish themselves as the king of home players: Betamax and VHS. Although Sony's Betamax offered higher quality recordings, a tape could only hold up to 60 minutes of footage while the VHS came in at 3 hours. Thanks to VHS, people could record their favorite movies, including pornographic ones, of course. Sony decided that it did not want films for the over-18s to be recorded on its tapes so the battle was won, effortlessly, by the VHS.
Thus, in the late 1970s, porn accounted for 50% of the VHS tapes sold in the United States, which meant that many people were buying players en masse. If we count on the fact that at that time the price of a VHS player was around 800 euros, we have the reason why the VHS reached every home on the planet.
The Internet Age
This one will be very easy: if in 2001, there were around 70,000 porn pages and today more than 26 million, nobody has the slightest doubt that porn laid the foundations for the development of the Internet. For 12% of Internet websites are pornographic and every second that passes there are approximately 28,528 users connected to the Internet watching youporn. Other studies conducted by major US universities show that 25% of all searches on search engines are related to pornography and 35% of all downloads from the Internet are pornographic.
It is obvious the influence of pornography in the technology industry in these times when it is already possible to see your favorite porn stars in virtual reality thanks to VR display devices, now also haptic technologies are being developed that would be something like virtual reality for the touch. With suits designed for this type of technology we can perceive virtual sensations, as the Huggies diaper brand did, with a belt that allowed men to feel the kicks of a baby during pregnancy. The future its here!
New kind of TikTok porn video apps
Since the beginning of this year new porn video apps have been emerging trying to adapt and copy the major success of TikTok social media app into the porn sector. Swipe porn was one of the first to establish and has been leading the way since then, proposing a multitude of short-term videos staging from well known pornstars to producers.
The timing couldn't be better for this recent move as the new coronavirus pandemic recently obliged around 20% of the world's population to be at home, with numbers being expected to increase in the coming weeks (or months). Whether you are used to watch porn alone in your mobile or together with your partner in a larger screens, short-term porn video apps like Swyp are here to stay and to attract more and more users.
First TikTok porn video apps emerging
Tik.porn leaded the way already in February 2020, followed in a matter of days by Swipe.porn and weeks after by the well-established pornographic website, Youporn. The latest, owned by Mindgeek, the company responsible among others for Pornhub, created a mobile dedicated video app called SWYP, where users can scroll across multiple videos completely for free. Downside and when compared to Swipe.porn, for example, is that if you are willing to watch it in your desktop screen or you are not willing to install the app, you basically can't use it. Swipe.porn, in the other hand let's you ran a kind of web app, whether you are willing to watch it in mobile or in the comfort of your laptop or larger screen computer.
Perhaps that could be one reason why Swipe.porn has been leading the way recently taking the advantage that people are staying more time at home due to this new virus. Whether in a pause break while working or by enjoying some free time alone, the true is that these kind of apps are very user-friendly and quite addictive. You could easily spend some 10 minutes or more after your (supposed) work break.
Artificial Intelligence behind these new apps
The great reason for success of these apps could lie exactly in the fact that an artificial intelligence matches your most liked and viewed kind of videos, exactly similar to what TikTok proposes. By learning from your usage, the more you see, the more it will match and be accurate to your needs. And these new video apps adapted well to this secret into their business and are getting more attention from younger generations but also older ones who are eager to see more and more content delivered to their screens in high quality formats and for free.
It is quite probable that more and more video apps like these emerge in the coming future whether in the sex business or other industries that can take advantage and seduce users that are always willing to swipe and scroll their mobile screens like no other generations have done before. For now, despite of the current limited options, it is quite possible that at least in the pornographic film industry those three apps can lead the way and take advantage of their bold move into this new type of video content.
Are visas required to travel within the European Union?
For those who are interested in knowing whether a visa is required to travel within the European Union, you should know that if you are looking to stay for a short period of time not exceeding three months in a six-month period in a European Union country, this may mean that you do need one according to the nationality of the person and the regulations of that country.
In any case, it must be borne in mind that citizens of certain countries who visit the European Union for a short time can benefit from a particular regulation that now exists of visas or accelerated procedures in which no visa is required.

What to take into account when buying gears?
A gearmotor is a speed reducer with a directly connected motor. A gearmotor does not use a bell and coupling adapter to mount the motor, the motor is in fact part of the speed reducer. A first advantage of the gearmotor compared to another combination of motor and gearbox is the length. Geared motors are compact in size. If you want to buy gears, read this article because it can help a lot.
A geared motor typically has the input gear of the gearbox mounted directly on the motor shaft. Gearmotors are mechanically simpler than other combinations of motors and gears. A gearmotor does not use couplings and has fewer bearings. As a result, installation is simplified and less maintenance is required. There are no belts to be tensioned or shaft alignment requirements. Some belt covers wear and require replacement; because a gear motor does not include these parts, the cost of installation and maintenance will be reduced.

Márquez and Lorenzo, happy couple in Honda?
Marc Márquez's face changed when he learned that Jorge Lorenzo was going to be his new team-mate. The Cervera rider wanted (and let Honda know) Dani Pedrosa to continue at least one more year in Honda.
But Alberto Puig, the team manager, wanted to have two first swords in the garage and, knowing that the relationship between Lorenzo and Ducati was not going through its best and that the Italian team wanted to promote Andrea Dovizioso to the first team category, he went straight for the Mallorcan.

Women increasingly interested in video games
Video games are not men's things, much less children's. A study by the Spanish Association of Video Games indicates that 38.9% of players are adults. As for the gender of the player, 32.8% of women play video games and in the case of men the figure rises to 45.3%. The majority of both sexes play regularly and have nothing to do with the stereotype of player: they have high school and even university studies, and they don't only play dress up games.
Surprising is that there are more young mothers (between 18 and 29 years) who play video games than women without children. They see it as a way of approaching and creating links with the youngest members of the household. In any case, they spend between half an hour and an hour playing for all the members of the family – who knew a few years ago! Surveys also include Facebook games and mobile phones, however, everything points to platforms like Twitch (a platform that serves to see how a person plays in real time), women still prefer to be anonymous for fear of being harassed through comments.

Kingdom of Norway, is a unitary sovereign state in Northwestern Europe whose core territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.
Norway's culinary traditions show the influence of long seafaring and farming traditions, with salmon (fresh and cured), herring (pickled or marinated), trout, codfish, and other seafood, balanced by cheeses (such as brunost), dairy products, and breads (predominantly dark/darker). Lefse is a Norwegian potato flatbread, usually topped with large amounts of butter and sugar, most common around Christmas. Some traditional Norwegian dishes include lutefisk, smalahove, pinnekjøtt, raspeball, and fårikål. Some quirky Norwegian speciality is rakefisk, which is a fermented trout, consumed with thin flatbread (flatbrød, not lefse) and sour cream. And the most popular pastry among all population is vaffel. It is different from Belgian in taste and consistency and is served with sour cream, brown cheese, butter and sugar, or strawberry or raspberry jam, which can all be mixed or eaten separately.

The Westin Turnberry Resort is already gearing up to host the 2009 British Open on the world famous Ailsa golf course. It gets its name from the ominous Ailsa Craig, a volcanic rock set a mile or so out in the nearby sea that can be seen on a clear day. A local saying says "if you can see the Ailsa rock, it's about to rain. If you can't it's raining." On this particular day, Ailsa Craig could be seen faintly, but no rain came along.
The Ailsa was originally built in 1902 but was closed during World War 1 and 2 when the land was plowed over and turned into an airport for the military. Runways replaced fairways and the course didn't reopen until 1951, when Mackenzie Ross restored the course to its former glory, and the Ailsa was once again among the world's elite.
The Ailsa course is most famously known for the Open Championship's 1977 "Duel in the Sun", where Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus had an epic duel coming down to the 72nd hole on the sun-scorched links, where Watson prevailed matching Nicklaus' birdie.

Q: How to avoid repeating lambda boilerplate in python? I find myself writing too many of these:
upper = lambda c   : c.upper()
lower = lambda c   : c.lower()
foo   = lambda a,b : a.foo(b)

How can I avoid or at least minimize such boilerplate?
Wasn't (or shouldn't be) there a PEP to allow passing/calling methods as normal procedures?

A: I don't really see what you're solving. You're just changing your methods from
'abc'.upper()

to
upper('abc')

It doesn't really gain you anything, in fact it's a little less readable. If you're using the lambda's to pass into other methods as key you can just do something like
l = ['ab', 'Aa', 'ca']
sorted(l, key = str.upper)

Note that I can just call str.upper without having to define a lambda

A:
How can I avoid or at least minimize such boilerplate?

Just do not use it! Or, more specifically:

*

*Use c.upper() instead of upper(c)

*Use c.lower() instead of lower(c)

*Use a.foo(b) instead of foo(a, b)

A: You can use unbound methods, rather than creating your own functions.
In your first two examples, you'd probably want str.upper and str.lower. (If you need to support more than str, you could use operator.methodcaller("upper") or similar, but be aware that it is almost certainly a bad design decision to deal with both str and bytes objects with the same code!)
Your third example is more complicated. If you only care about a single type of a object, then you'd specify it and it would work just like the str examples (e.g. A.foo). Similarly, if the value of b is constant and known ahead of time, you could use operator.methodcaller("foo", b) to get a callable that calls a.foo(b) for a given a value, but it doesn't help if b is also variable.
If you don't know a's type or b in advance, you really do need to stick with a function. If you don't like how the lambda expression looks, you can use a regular def statement:
def foo(a, b):
    return a.foo(b)

If it's something you use often, you could write your own variation on methodcaller to produce the functions on demand:
def my_methodcaller(method_name):
    def inner(obj, *args, **kwargs):
        return getattr(obj, method_name)(*args, **kwargs)
    return inner

Then, you'd use foo = my_methodcaller("foo").

Q: Handling dates without a time component Some events don't take place at any specific time and instead are meant to be valid for the whole day irrespective of the time zone the user is at.
For the sake of argument, let's say a system sitting on a server (up in the cloud) runs a job at 5 am and imports data from a different system between this run and the last (24 hours ago). The actual user sitting at his desk doesn't know when the job runs, the user only knows that they go to sleep at night, the server crunches all the entries for the day.
The next morning the user wants to see all the entries from yesterday (what ever the job produced) and they go to the app, pull up a calendar input selector and they pick the 5/26/2022 (today being 5/27/2022).
Assuming the developers followed best practices, the client will transform the date into it's UTC version and send it up through an API. Chances are, depending on where the user is located and the server is, there might be a mismatch.
I could send the date up without it being UTC or I could send a UTC date and try to adjust it back to local time so that I could then compare with the date on record (that exists without an actual time zone).
What I am asking is:
What's the more conventional answer to this particular problem?
Is the idea of a date without time or time zone just ridiculous?

A: Use UNIX Time. It will give you a timestamp that is universal no matter what timezone the user is in. You can then convert it into whatever timezone you want to.

A: The concern you describe is well solved/addressed by the ISO 8601 dates/time presentation protocol.
All modern software can read/write dates in ISO 8601.
In Unix machines, the correct command is date with option -I

   -I[FMT], --iso-8601[=FMT]
          output date/time in ISO 8601 format.  FMT='date' for date
          only (the default), 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds', or 'ns'
          for date and time to the indicated precision.  Example:
          2006-08-14T02:34:56-06:00

The Best Alternative Albums of 2022: Pale Waves, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, and More
Kenly CG December 12, 2022 Tagged albums list, Alternative, best of, best of 2022, best of list, best of lists, fear of the dawn, Jack White, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, kenly cg, l.s. dunes, Learning to Be Happy, Maggie Lindemann, Music & Culture, Pale Waves, past lives, Pop Punk, Punk, Rock, suckerpunch, unwanted
Another year is coming to an end, and it's thankfully been full of great music, especially on the alternative scene. With so many amazing releases, we had no choice but to create a list with some of the best alternative albums of 2022 in no particular order. Check it out below, and happy listening!
Unwanted by Pale Waves
A post shared by PALE WAVES (@palewaves)
Released on August 12, Pale Waves' third studio album, Unwanted, is a tribute to the pop-punk genre. Heavier than their previous work, Unwanted contains 13 songs, and the foursome delivers nothing but powerful performances. The title track is one of the best songs on the album, and it shows Pale Waves in all its glory. Unwanted was produced by none other than Zakk Cervini, and it shows. The record is sonically cohesive, and even the slower songs transmit the same amount of energy as the more aggressive ones. Overall, Unwanted is an excellent album, and Heather Baron-Gracie's lyrics and voice bring it to a new level.
Fear of the Dawn by Jack White
A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)
Jack White released two completely different albums this year. Fear of the Dawn, an industrial rock album, came out on April 8, and Entering Heaven Alive, a folk record, was released on July 22. While the latter is fantastic, Fear of the Dawn is exceptional. If anyone asks you what Jack White sounds like, just show them this record. In Fear of the Dawn, White's first album in four years, the musician takes his originality to new heights and delivers a record for the ages. Including crazy sounds, smooth transitions, and an iconic collaboration with Q-Tip, former A Tribe Called Quest rapper, Jack shows he's more alive than ever.
SUCKERPUNCH by Maggie Lindemann
A post shared by MAGGIE LINDEMANN (@maggielindemann)
After years of expectation, Maggie Lindemann finally released SUCKERPUNCH on September 16, and the wait was definitely worth it. Starting her career as a pop artist, Maggie found herself through the years and began working on music that felt closer to her identity. With the release of 2019's "Friends Go," Lindemann began experimenting with heavier sounds before finally settling in the punk genre. Overall, SUCKERPUNCH is a great body of work. With a variety of themes, Maggie showcases her talent, and she even got to collaborate with Kellin Quinn, lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens, one of Lindemann's favorite bands of all time. "how could you do this to me?" is a great collab and one of the best songs in Maggie's catalog. Also, Lindemann gets to pay tribute to another one of her favorite artists. The music video for "cages" is a direct reference to Avril Lavigne's music videos for "Sk8er Boi" and "Complicated."
Past Lives by L.S. Dunes
A post shared by Tucker Rule (@tuckerrule)
With a superb lineup, L.S. Dunes took the world by surprise. Their debut album, Past Lives, is raw and terrific, and the band's deep songwriting shows their passion for this project. With a versatile tracklist, Past Lives touches on topics like depression and loneliness but also hope and resilience. The creation of L.S. Dunes' first studio album was serendipitous and started out as an experiment between friends. However, they did such an outstanding job that Past Lives earned a spot in this list despite being released only a month ago.
Learning to Be Happy by Kayleigh Goldsworthy
A post shared by Kayleigh Goldsworthy (@kayleighgolds)
Kayleigh Goldsworthy released Learning to Be Happy on May 6. The intimate and introspective album is like Kayleigh giving us permission to read her diary. The songs are very personal, and you can't help but relate to at least one of them. Overall, Learning to Be Happy demonstrates Goldsworthy's musicianship, and even if some of the tracks are sad, this record will make you feel good. The Will Yip-produced album is perfect for any situation. You can listen to it while studying, driving, cleaning your house, or just vibing. A product of the 2020 confinement, Learning to Be Happy takes its name literally. Through well-crafted songs, Kayleigh strives to be a better, stronger person while also accepting her flaws.

Baker's Cottage have been quite innovative. Originally selling cakes, bread and pastries, they have added mooncake in the mix. And few months ago, they started to introduce meal sets- mainly chicken rice in their mix.
Note: This may not be available in all their outlets. If they do provide additional meal offers, they would usually also allocate a few small tables in their outlets to allow their customers to dine in.
I have seen the menu consisting of nasi ayam panggang and ayam masak merah with a drink for RM6.50 in a few of their outlets. They also sell ayam panggang similar to Ayamas.
They also offer a set meal consisting of pastry or cake with a hot drink for a discounted price.
Above are add ons that consist of discounted price with purchase of a value meal or RM9.30 and above. Only a maximum of 3 items are allowed to be added on.
Hence, if I were to buy a set of their nasi lemak ayam panggang/ ayam masak merah, it would cost me RM6.50 with a drink. By adding another RM2.50, I would get myself a muffin too which complete a meal with drink and dessert. The price would still come out cheaper than buying from McD or KFC.

It is with deep sorrow that we inform members of the passing of a highly-valued member of our organisation — NSW Branch Administration Manager Jocelyn (Jojie) Vivar.
Members would be familiar with their officials who they talk to and come across in their workplaces from time to time, but not many would be familiar with the important work undertaken by your Union's administration support teams.
Jojie commenced her employment with the CEPU NSW Postal & Telecommunications Branch (then APTU NSW Branch) administration team in 1989, shortly after migrating from the Philippines — a journey she undertook as a lone, young woman seeking a better future in Australia.
It wasn't long before Jojie, a highly educated and qualified accountant, progressed to leading that team.
In a career spanning almost three decades, she became the backbone of an operation critical to the day to day functioning of the Branch and did so proudly and unwavered in loyalty and dedication to our members.
Jojie loved our Union and was truly passionate about advancing our cause.
She would often correlate our organisation's values with her own Australian story. She would explain her gratitude to the Union in taking a chance on her — providing her with the opportunity of a permanent job and a future in her new home nation.
Sadly, last week Jojie, at the prime age of 56, lost her two-year battle with Breast Cancer. This unfortunate turn of events follows the passing of her younger sister Juvelyn at the age of 54 only four weeks ago and also from a very early Cancer diagnosis.
A significant hole has been left in our organisation with Jojie's passing.
We will grieve the loss of a tremendous woman and a dear friend, however our grief is little compared to what Jojie's family and friends must be confronting and feeling at this moment.
With that our hearts and prayers go out to Jojie's family and friends during this most difficult time.
Rest in Peace Jojie. You are a legend within our CEPU family and will forever be in our hearts and minds.


Here are a few thoughts concerning the atrocity attacks in Paris. I talk about Islam (and "Islamophobia"), Syrian migration into Europe, Original Sin and "low" vs. "high" anthropology, reaction-formations among young men when drones are over their heads and they have no control, let alone "buy-in"; and finally, a threatening experience Mary and I had on Times Square recently. Call this PZ's perspective on a current (big) event.

Glasvegas Vow To Carry On After Label Split
By WENN on 23 August 2011

Glasvegas NME
Picture: Glasvegas performing on the Obelisk Arena stage Latitude Music and Arts Festival held at the Henham Estate in Suffolk - Day 3 Suffolk, England...
Scottish rockers Glasvegas have promised fans they will remain a group despite no longer having a record label.
The band has revealed that they were dropped by Columbia earlier this year (11) after originally signing to the imprint in 2008.
Despite having no backing from the major label, guitarist Rab Allan insists Glasvegas will carry on and sign a new deal in due course.
He tells NME.com, "We're definitely not breaking up. We're thinking about what we want to do, which is probably why people think we're breaking up. People have come in about signing us, but there's no need for us to have a label right now, (lead singer) James (Allan) is writing the third album and when its ready we'll probably sign. The people who want to sign us will still be there in four months time."
It's been a bad few weeks for the rockers - they were forced to scrap their slot at Britain's V Festival at the weekend (20-21Aug11) after revellers pelted them with bottles.

Q: Cannot reference an id because code not yet returned I'm struggling to reference something on my webpage using this:
new Chessboard(document.getElementById('board3')
It is supposed to display the board, but instead I get this error:

Error: container element is null

The first answer in this link says...

This is most likely due to your script running before the page is loaded.

Why my `<div id="terminal-container">` is null?
So, how do I get around this issue where I need to create the board but I cannot do that because the id is in the return portion of the code, and so it is not yet created. I tried adding it after the return () code, but that did nothing!
Any ideas?
export const MyPiece = props => {

  new Chessboard(document.getElementById('board3'), {
    position:
      'rn2k1r1/ppp1pp1p/3p2p1/5bn1/P7/2N2B2/1PPPPP2/2BNK1RR w Gkq - 4 11',
    orientation: COLOR.black,
  });

  return (
    <>
        <DialogContent dividers>
        <Typography paragraph="true">
          Some text
        </Typography>
        <Paper id="board3"></Paper>
      </DialogContent>
    </>
  );
};

A: This document.getElementById('board3') is executed before the first render. The node is not available jet. Also every time the component is updated this function will runs. I assume that you don't want that. I recommend you to move your code to useEffect block:
useEffect(()=> {
  new Chessboard(document.getElementById('board3'), {
    position:
      'rn2k1r1/ppp1pp1p/3p2p1/5bn1/P7/2N2B2/1PPPPP2/2BNK1RR w Gkq - 4 11',
    orientation: COLOR.black,
  });
}, []);

You can replace document.getElementById('board3') with useRef, It is the recommend way.

A: Cause new Chessboard(... run before <Paper id="board3"></Paper> is mounted. Try wrap it in the useEffect
import { useEffect } from 'react'

export const MyPiece = props => {

  useEffect(() => {
    new Chessboard(document.getElementById('board3'), {
      position:
      'rn2k1r1/ppp1pp1p/3p2p1/5bn1/P7/2N2B2/1PPPPP2/2BNK1RR w Gkq - 4 11',
      orientation: COLOR.black,
    });
  }, [])

  return (
    <>
        <DialogContent dividers>
        <Typography paragraph="true">
          Some text
        </Typography>
        <Paper id="board3"></Paper>
      </DialogContent>
    </>
  );
};

Or if you do not use react hooks, It could be
class MyPiece extends React.Component {

  componentDidMount() {
    new Chessboard(document.getElementById('board3'), {
       position:
       'rn2k1r1/ppp1pp1p/3p2p1/5bn1/P7/2N2B2/1PPPPP2/2BNK1RR w Gkq - 4 11',
       orientation: COLOR.black,
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <>
        <DialogContent dividers>
        <Typography paragraph="true">
          Some text
        </Typography>
        <Paper id="board3"></Paper>
        </DialogContent>
      </>
    );
  }
}


Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day. Dinner, on the other hand, gets all of the superstar attention that comes with a primetime meal slot.
But lunch? Lunch means business.
There's limited time, so any eating or conversation needs to fit into about an hour of meticulously scheduled time. Handheld sandwiches and prepackaged portions ensure dining efficiency. At its core, lunch is a meal of necessity, fueling the projects that lay ahead in second half of the day. This brisk pace and routine timing can quickly transform lunch from a satisfying escape into a boring obligation.
That same old sandwich might just taste brand new with fresh company! Whether your lunch hour is a solitary routine or involves a regular group of friends, taking the opportunity to connect with a new variety of coworkers can be invigorating. Reaching out to members of other departments and offices is a great way to learn more about your company, understand the people you work with and build your professional network. After all, every good meal deserves a good conversation!
You've been working at a steady pace since this morning's coffee. Lunch is a fantastic time to slow down and switch gears, even for a short while. However, this downtime can still be used to your advantage! There are tons of convenient ways to learn new information in a small window of time. Between bites, use this opportunity to participate in webinars or watch recorded online sessions. Some companies and professional organizations even offer lunchtime training opportunities, so keep an eye out for these and schedule accordingly. Here's your chance to put brain food to the test!
There is an entire world outside of the office! If you find yourself feeling trapped behind your cubicle walls, grab that picnic basket and head outside for lunch for a change. Changing environments for a short while can help to reset your mind and recharge your attitude for the day ahead. Additionally, you never know where inspiration might strike! Local shops, community events and other lunching professionals might just give you an idea that you can carry with you back to the office.
Lunchtime is often the misunderstood, middle child of meals. Short and speedy, it's easy to overlook the effect that lunch can have on our day. If your afternoon meal is feeling a little bland, spice it up tomorrow! Do you have any other suggestions? Serve them up below!

Warwickshire Wedding Magician Owen Strickland at Holiday Inn.Today saw Warwickshire Wedding Magician Owen Strickland at Holiday Inn. Congratulations to Kerri and Marc.
First off was mix and mingle magic after the Wedding Breakfast. Then it was table magic for the first part of the evening reception.
The couple booked me after seeing me at a previous wedding. This was Gemma and Vlads at Alrewas Hayes in 2015.
Warwickshire Wedding Magician at Warwick House-today it was lovely to be back at Warwick House. I have done so many wonderful weddings here in the last few years. Today as Leigh and Stuarts Wedding. They had an Alice in Wonderland Theme and the room looked fabulous. It was also the first time I have walked into a venue and there was more playing cards there than I brought with me.
Pendrell Hall Magic with Owen Strickland- back at one of my most frequent Venues. This evening's booking was for Serena and Paul. I am pictured below doing my special tricks for the happy couple.This always goes down well and creates wonderful reaction shots.
Moor Hall Wedding Magician Owen Strickland-Today was the wedding of Warren and Emma. This was an evening reception booking as the room was turned around. It was nice that this wedding finally arrived.It was the first booking I took after Moor Hall started to recommend me last year.
Aston Marina Magic with Staffordshire Magician Owen Strickland-today I was back at the lovely Aston marina for the Wedding of Kirsten and Dan. It was one of those weddings where I could have stayed all day!! Everyone was such a laugh it was great. A guest kindly recorded the part where i perform for the bride and groom. I will be making a new showreel with some clips from this. In the meantime here are some stills capturing their reactions.
Kirsten booked me as a surprise for Dan after meeting me at a Wedding fair at Aston Marina last year. This is now quite a common thing that Im getting booked for. I can do a funny little gag where I pretend to be a waiter and approach the couple. I ask what drink they would like, with a notepad in hand. Whatever drink is said, I say that "we have run out". After a few attempts the pad changes into a pack of cards and I say "How about a card trick then". It goes down very well.

Being ready to make rapid decisions regarding the medical care of athletes injured during the course of play is a critical skill for sports medicine professionals. Hesitation or misdiagnosis of an injury can result in severe consequences for the athlete, including career-ending conditions and, in extreme cases, death. Proper planning is required to be able to execute evaluation and sideline treatment and follow up rehabilitation of common injuries such as ortho injuries, wrist injuries, "stingers", head and spine injuries.

Jimmy Case is best remembered for a spectacular FA Cup final goal and a deserved reputation as one of football's genuine hard men. But that does scant justice to a career that covered more than 700 appearances for 7 league clubs and did not end until he retired, through injury, at the age of 41.Raised on Merseyside, Jimmy began at his beloved Liverpool, becoming a key player in the all-conquering team of the late 1970s alongside stars like Kevin Keegan, John Toshack, Ray Clemence, Phil Thompson, Kenny Dalglish and his two great mates, Tommy Smith and Ray Kennedy. At Anfield, where he was signed by Bill Shankly and guided by Bob Paisley, Jimmy won a boxful of medals: four league titles, three European cups plus a host of other domestic honours which tell the truth about Jimmy Case - that he had much more than a tough tackle and a ferocious shot. As Jimmy himself says, you couldn't get in that Liverpool team if you couldn't play.His ambition was to play his entire career at Liverpool but fate sent him on a different route: to Brighton, where he almost won the FA Cup; to Southampton, where he played more than 200 games; to Bournemouth; Halifax; Wrexham; and a single outing for Darlington. Along the way he came up against players like Andy Gray, Graeme Souness, David Speedie, Graeme Sharp and Norman Whiteside, often with painful results.Packed with incident and anecdotes, usually funny - but occasionally sad - this is the story of Jimmy Case, a true football legend.
I said, and then added, 'and the European Cup is even heavier.' He's a good lad is John and he took it in the right spirit… but I'm certain I could hear him swearing under his breath. We had a good night, and nights like that are enjoyable, but to be perfectly honest, I am never happier than when I'm on the banks of the River Test with a fishing rod in my hand. Fishing is something I have done since I was a kid, starting off on Calderstones Park in Liverpool, just a short bike ride from my home.
