Chiropractic treatment will correct any misalignment within the body. A subluxation or restriction describes what goes on when the spinal bones lose their regular movement or position; this might cause the nerves to become twisted or stretched and interfere with the connection between the rest of the body and the brain. For instance, restrictions might happen in the neck, because it compensates for the modifications in the spine by moving in the forward direction and this can result in throat pain, headaches, queasiness, and/or sleeplessness among other things. A chiropractor is an expert in detecting as well as fixing these limitations.
The feminine body goes through significant postural and also hormonal alterations during and after maternity. Chiropractic treatment can help to alleviate any accompanied pains and aches and make a simpler changeover from being pregnant to motherhood. Lots of women are, obviously, scared to do anything physically demanding throughout their pregnancy and the very thought of obtaining manual therapy like chiropractic is challenging, at the very least. But be guaranteed that so long as you have made the chiropractor informed that you're pregnant, chiropractic care will be safe and might be extremely helpful during this nerve-racking period.
While being pregnant, many physiological, as well as hormonal changes, occur in the body. Imbalances in hormones result in the loosening of the joints and ligaments all through the body, which enhances the possibility of strains and stresses; expecting mothers might also hear more regular "pops" plus "clicks" at various phases of pregnancy. The internal structures, as well as the breasts, increase in size and with the ever enlarging belly the pelvis begins to progressively tilt triggering an increase in her back's curvature, causing public as well as lower back pain. Moreover, this combined effect does shift the center of gravity in the forward direction and might result in alterations in one's perception of balance maximizing the chance of trips as well as falls.
A subluxation or restriction describes what goes on when the spinal bones do lose their regular movement or position; this might result in nerves to become extended or twisted and hinder the interaction between the human brain and the remaining portion of the body. Studies have proven that ladies who obtained chiropractic adjustments throughout their pregnancy had the ability to carry and also deliver their little ones with more ease and comfort and painkillers were reduced significantly during delivery. If you are looking for a "pregnancy chiropractor" we are located in the Memphis area and are accepting new patients.
The delivery procedure is probably the riskiest journey one will ever make in his or her lifetime. Even under normal conditions, without any type of intervention, the delivery process could affect a baby's spine and is potentially distressing for both the mom as well as the baby. Throughout the pushing phase of labor, force is applied to the newborn's spine as he or she is pressurized and moves down the birth canal. Twisting, pulling and the usage of instruments, for example, suction cups and forceps, during the time of delivery could cause additional spinal problems. Other aspects to take into account are the adjustments in environmental forces to which the baby is actually exposed as he or she leaves a close-packed, buoyant environment to enter one having gravitational and weight-bearing forces. Spinal distress typically happens during this process.
Initial studies indicate that colic, abnormal crying, ear infections, poor appetite or inconsistent sleeping behavior can all be indications of spinal problems. Issues with sucking or feeding, restlessness, misshaped head, as well as irritability, can also be helped.

Rio may well have been a high for the pontiff, but appears clearly to have been a downer for Dolan.
I can't believe the media. If you get all your news about what the Catholic Church teaches through the media, you must have a completely warped view of what Catholics believe. The Church has always had the same stance towards gays: one of peace. The Pope's words are nothing new.
You do give evidence, Joe, of one rather consistent aspect of Catholic response here, and that is duplicity.
""Catholics know that the pope, like all of us, is a servant of the truth of the Gospel, not a crafter. Doctrine is a given; it is settled, inherited, faithfully passed on. That's his duty, and he's sure doing it well.""
If I am not very much mistaken, there is, even now, a major body within the highest levels of the vatican devoted to deciding just what is and is not doctrine at any given time.
Your quran and your "messenger don't offer you an attonment for your sin. You will stand befor your Maker na/ked in your sins. Your works don't count, because your righteousness can not be attonment for your sin. You need God's righteousness. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, who came to be a propit/iation for sins of mankind. Only through Him you can be saved. If you are really sincere, why don't you ask God to show you? And then BE QUIET and let HIM speak!
Lame. Jesus was allegedly sent by an alleged god, to save people from the original sin committed by their ancestors, Adam and Eve. but since genetics has proven that we all did not come from one genetic set, Adam and Eve are nothing but a lie, and therefore, christianity is a lie.
Seriously, how gullible are you people?
Dawkins sound bite #103 is false but go ahead and keep pushing it.
First off, I have never read or heard anything by Dawkins. Second, "no it isn"t" is hardly an argument. Do you have anything to say that comes from your own mind?
Yes, I wonder what you motive is in taking down the Bible.
I wonder why you adopt Saul of Tarsus position on Adam and Eve when he was trained under strict Jewish tradition from 753 BC. based upon the books of Moses which you yourself claim to a lie and not trust worthy. It is not trust worthy for Christians but trustworthy as your Strawman.
We do all share a common ancestry though, so technically we do come from one genetic set in terms of the h.omo genus.
I do not take down the bible. Reality does. Beleiving in it is denying reality.
Taking those small points and thinking it accounts for all of genetics is akin to seeing one grain of sand and saying you understand all of the beaches throughout the world. What you point to, does not make your point, or any point for that matter.
It does make a point, that everybody alive today shares a common ancestry and that alone was the point I was making. If you read anything else into my statement then you are either paranoid or retarded.
God formed man out of the dust of the Earth. How is it that you know what this means while theologians continue to argue about it? Does it mean man is product of natural processes of the Earth which does not exclude evolution. Does it meant the Popes position that the physical properties of man could be evolved is acceptable.? Adam was the first to be give a soul and all mankind since Adam have a soul. Genetics does not address soul. The Bible stands.
Mitochondrial DNA supports all modern man had a common ancestor 2,000 to 6,000 years ago. That does not dispute the Bibles position either.
Our female common ancestor lived about 200,000 years ago and our male common ancestor lived between 237,000 and 581,000 years ago.
Matriarchal and patriarchal are more apt terms than male and female.
I do not disagree with you as to the first women being 200,000 years ago. I was speaking of most recent common ancestor which was less than 5,000 years ago which all known humans today share common DNA with.
Good point , well stated. Take a few classes in genetics and then re-read your statement. You do not comprehend how far from understanding you are. It is like a 2nd grader explaining calculus.
What ad hominem? I said if you read any subtext into my comment, you're either paranoid or retarded. That's not an insult directed at you, it's an observation which applies to anybody.
I know enough about genetics to know that humanity shares common ancestry. H.omo sapien should have been stated instead of h.omo genus perhaps, but apart from that, I believe I made a valid point.
"Our spe-cies is an African one: Africa is where we first ev-olved, and where we have spent the majority of our time on Earth. The earliest fos-sils of recognizably modern Ho-mo sapiens appear in the fossil record at Omo Kibish in Ethiopia, around 200,000 years ago. Although earlier fossils may be found over the coming years, this is our best understanding of when and approximately where we originated.
Once the climate started to improve, after 70,000 years ago, we came back from this near-extinction event. The population expanded, and some intrepid explorers ventured beyond Africa. The earliest people to colonize the Eurasian landma-ss likely did so across the Bab-al-Mandab Strait separating present-day Yemen from Djibouti. These early beachcombers expanded rapidly along the coast to India, and reached Southeast Asia and Australia by 50,000 years ago. The first great foray of our species beyond Africa had led us all the way across the globe."
"Unlike his Biblical namesake, this Adam was not the only man alive in his era. Rather, he is unique because his descendents are the only ones to survive.
It is important to note that Adam does not literally represent the first human. He is the coalescence point of all the genetic diversity."
"Included in the markers we will test for is a subset that scientists have recently determined to be from our hominin cousins, Neanderthals and the newly discovered Denisovans, who split from our lineage around 500,000 years ago. As modern humans were first migrating out of Africa more than 60,000 years ago, Neanderthals and Denisovans were still alive and well in Eurasia. It seems that our ancestors met, leaving a small genetic trace of these ancient relatives in our DNA. With Geno 2.0, you will learn if you have any Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA in your genome."


Recently Natasha Ednan-Laperouse passed away due to from the allergic reaction is known as anaphylaxis. It caused after eating at the Pret A Manger baguette, which contained sesame. This is leading to change the labeling methods under numerous rules. This recent investigation found some unknown allergens present in a quarter of foods.
The investigators have found the sudden boom in the number of people suffering from allergies due to food. It is a new part of medicine and considered different from other allergies. Earlier, food allergy was considered part of allergies, after major controversies, it is now different.
In the recent case of ananaphylactic reaction, food was identified as guilty. This sudden reaction in case of food allergy is rare. Food allergy experts are focusing on people whose reaction are delayed and are in light after 48 hours. These allergies are difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat people suffering from allergies. These people showed symptoms such as diarrhea, migraine, eczema, asthma, and other psychiatric problems.
Many doctors and food allergy experts are worried that food allergy was accountable for much chronic illness.Some doctors said that they convinced people that they should refer these people to send to psychiatrists. Research is ongoing to find a potential cure and treatment on the allergies.
The key suggestion is hygiene that suggests that children have a habit of living in the excessively clean environment. This means that children's bodies are not the habit of pathogens and harmless proteins. Another factor is cooking techniques, which shows that allergy is very common.

This session goes into locked state and remains locked till Session 1 completes.
Session 3: Select data from 3rd table (with 10 rows) which is involved in the procedure.
This session goes into locked state and remains locked till session 1 is finished and session 2 is done with at least one iteration.
Our system is totally dependent on stored procedures and functions for back-end processing.  Data processing comes to a grinding halt whenever a procedure goes into locked state.
it is not a deadlock, but a lock wait.
Stored procedures with MyISAM tables work this way: before starting they set a table lock on every table that is accessed in the stored procedure.
InnoDB type tables do not have this table locking problem. They use row-level locking.
We are seeing this behavior with InnoDb tables.  All the tables involved in my test case were InnoDB tables.
do you use also triggers?
The fix is in upcoming 5.0.19.
Can you post SHOW INNODB STATUS\G during those lock waits?
getting the chance to downgrade the locks.
This is very bad for concurrency as it effectively makes InnoDB locking the same as MyISAM.
You'll see that the function will not begin until the it gets it's requested write lock.
You can also substitute select * from t1; instead of the create table statement.
does set S-locks on all rows of t1. Maybe you are seeing just a normal lock wait on a row lock? What does SHOW INNODB STATUS\G show?
On the other hand, a plain SELECT should be a 'consistent read'. It should not lock anything in InnoDB, unless you have specified the isolation level as SERIALIZABLE.
Dinesh, are you running on the SERIALIZABLE level? What exact SELECT queries do you perform?
Does SHOW CREATE TABLE show that your tables are indeed InnoDB type?
create table select to finish along with the select * from t1 it appears.
We got rid of all the triggers and don't use them any more..
The reason why the table lock is NOT downgraded is that it is a stored FUNCTION, not a stored procedure. Then thd->lex->sql_command = SQLCOM_SELECT, and the code below does not downgrade the table lock.
Jan, please also update the comment in the code to reflect this change.
I assume you used stored FUNCTIONs?
The workaround is to use stored PROCEDUREs. I do not know if this bug fix makes it to 5.0.19, since it was branched off last week.
We use stored functions.  We wrote functions so that we can use them in SELECT statement.  It is not possible for us to convert them to stored procedures at this time.
The business impact of this bug is very very severe.  We would really appreciate if this gets into 5.0.19.
please apply this patch to 5.0 and 5.1.
The fix will be in 5.0.20 and 5.1.8.
Noted in 5.0.20, 5.1.8 changelogs.
Looking at history, this was set to closed without going through documenting state, so setting back to Documenting. Fixed in InnoDB snapshot368; fixes are in 5.0.20.
was noted in the 5.0.20, 5.1.8 changelogs.
Thank you all for fixing this.  It has been driving me nuts since we converted from oracle 3 weeks ago.  We use stored functions heavily in select statements and I had to wait until 5 was available to make the switch.
After testing, this doesn't appear to be fixed for functions in 5.0.24.
Are functions still supposed to take table level locks?
Reopening this bug report after Harrison's inquiry.
I seem to be having no problem since setting with my functions and causing backups and locks since Marko told me to try setting innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1 (http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?22,87292,109725#msg-109725). I've also set innodb_table_locks = 0.
It's only been a week though, but everyone has noticed the performance increase.
Perhaps this is a replication issue butting heads with SF locks?
I am able to reproduce this bug in our production environment which runs 5.0.24 using your test case.  I was also able to reproduce it on 5.0.21.
This is very very critical for us since we use stored functions in select statements heavily.
Can you please provide us ETA on this?
Sorry. My previous post got a bit garbled.  I meant to say that setting innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1 seems to have helped with the locking and backup issues we were having.
We use Stored functions in select statements heavily as well.
Any update on this bug?  Is this going to be fixed in 5.0.25 at least?  This is really very very critical for us.
I doubt the patch that Jan and I put in the code in March 2006 ever fixed the bug at all.
The code itself there is ok, because we want to make the execution of a stored procedure in 5.0 as deterministic as possible, and using prebuilt->select_lock_type = LOCK_S is then good.
Assigning this to Marko. Please also test that LOCK TABLES READ LOCAL really has SQLCOM_LOCK_TABLES as the code.
Attachment: bug18077-5.0.patch (text/x-patch), 1.36 KiB.
I didn't experience any wait in Matt's test case with or without Heikki's proposed patch (see the files attached to this bug report). But the patch does seem to fix Harrison Fisk's test case.
I also set a breakpoint to ha_innobase::store_lock() and verified that thd->lex->sql_command == SQLCOM_LOCK_TABLES for the statement "lock tables t1 read local;". So, it would seem to me that Heikki's patch is safe to apply.
I was able to repeat the lock wait with Harrison's test case.
The old code in 5.0 is clearly broken. The patch probably fixes it.
Patch queued to -maint trees (5.0 and 5.1).  Will be merged to global trees when possible.
moved the 5.1.8 entry to 5.1.13.

Do We Need to Teach Algebra?
The 6th Annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, will again bring together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing the gap between mathematicians and teachers of mathematics, and between those who do and enjoy mathematics and those who don't believe they could. This year's conference will focus on transitions from secondary to post-secondary mathematics classrooms. What are the issues?
People teaching first year courses at universities and colleges feel that students are not prepared for the experience. Parents are looking for tutors for their children, concerned about their chances at passing UBC (SFU, UVic, ...) calculus course. Does the new curriculum prepare students for the university/college experience? Or, is it that the high school curricula have been changing faster than the university calculus courses, and the students arrive not knowing enough about algebra to satisfy university expectations? Are these expectations realistic?
Do we need to teach Algebra? What Algebra? For Whom?
These are just some of the questions this year's Changing the Culture conference will attempt to answer.
Click on lecture title for streamed video filed. For more information, including technical requirements, please click here.
Abstract: Technology has had a great impact on high school mathematics curricula, providing tools to help students build intuition through visualization among other benefits. Have such gains been accompanied by a loss in the ability to "speak the language of mathematics" - algebra?
16:00-17:00	Public Lecture Hollywood Perceptions of Mathematics: Cultural Truth or Mathematical Fiction?
Abstract: We live in a society that has infinite tolerance for innumeracy. It is accepted (and even expected) that our children are going to struggle with mathematics. It has become a cultural norm. Hollywood doesn't help. Its portrayal of mathematics and mathematical activity serves only to malign public perception. But is it creating the image or merely representing it? In this plenary we will use movie excerpts to examine the question of what mathematics do people really know (or don't know).
2. Can Algebra be made Lively?

Goldhawk Road tube station
Revision as of 12:29, 30 June 2015 by Ingo Eigen (Talk | contribs) (Automatischer Import durch Python-Skript)
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox London station Goldhawk Road station is a London Underground station located in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, on the south side of Goldhawk Road, about Template:Convert west of Shepherd's Bush Green. It is served by the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines in Travelcard Zone 2.
File:Underground Stations in Shepherd's Bush.svg
Map of stations in Shepherd's Bush area showing Latimer Road and the closed connection to Uxbridge Road station
Although the line here was opened in 1864 a station was not opened at this location until 1 April 1914 when Shepherd's Bush station (now Shepherd's Bush Market) was moved from its original location between Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road to a location on the north side of Uxbridge Road.

Station Amenities
The station currently benefits from a ticket office and two Passenger Operated Machines (or POM's). The larger POM, called a Multi Fare Machine (MFM) accepts UK Sterling notes, up to the value of £20 and gives change consisting of 10p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins. The smaller machine known as an Advance Fare Machine (AFM) does not give change and accepts overpayment up to 30p. Both machines accept most major Credit and Debit cards, however to help combat fraud, individual cards can only be used once a day. These machines are the standard London Underground installation at all LU operated stations.
The station also benefits from the use of Electric Service Update Boards or ESUBS. These large screen advertise service information which is updated from the Network Operations Centre, located at London Underground's head office above St James Park Tube station.
London bus routes 94 and 237 operate from outside the station from Bus stops Y and Z. Shepherd's Bush Market station is a 7-minute walk through the market and it is a 13-minute walk to Shepherds Bush Central line and London Overground stations.
There are currently two businesses operating on the station premises: a flower shop called Josie's, which has operated on the station premises for 65 years, and a cafe.
Directly across Goldhawk road is the south entrance to Shepherds Bush Market. A traditional pie and mash shop operates almost opposite the station on the other side of the Goldhawk road, as do various other eating and drinking establishments.
The station is a short walk to and from Queens Park Rangers Football club on Loftus Road.
The historic music venue currently known as the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire is a short walk from the station, originally opened in 1903 for impresario Oswald Stoll, designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham.

Katehi has served for three years as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, the chief academic and budget officer for the campus.
Tuesday Katehi reasserted that she had no knowledge of the special list of admissions referred to as Category I.
A review of 1,800 pages of documents related to the case and released to the Tribune shows Katehi's name about 50 times. The bulk of the e-mails are from the office of Chancellor Richard Herman to members of Katehi's staff.
Katehi couldn't recall the January 2008 e-mail Tuesday but said she most likely thought Sperling was referring to the school's waiting list.
In another e-mail, Herman relayed a trustee's interest in a student's transfer to the school of business. "He will be writing for confirmation. Would like this done by the next board meeting, " Herman wrote.
Katehi told The Bee she simply was passing on a request to the dean of the business school for his consideration.
The e-mail string includes a missive from the girl's parent thanking Sperling for having lunch with him and asking about his daughter's transfer application.
Katehi said Tuesday that a lot of inquiries are from parents of students with excellent records who would have been admitted in any case.
She said that during her three years as provost nothing unusual attracted her attention in any of the e-mails that came to her. She said she believed the e-mails were standard requests to check the status of applications for admission.
The documents obtained by the Tribune show that Watkins, Kincaid, Marshall and others in the provost's office, including an administrative assistant, handled Category I requests on a regular basis. All worked for Katehi.
She clarified that statement during an interview Tuesday, saying that Marshall and others dealing with Category I admissions reported to people above her.
"I was totally out of the loop, " Katehi said.
She said the admissions process was in place before she arrived at the school.
"I never questioned it because I never knew it existed, " she said.
On Tuesday, according to a Tribune report, Associate Provost Marshall testified that decisions about applicants often were overruled by higher-ups, particularly Chancellor Herman. Marshall said he took his directions from Herman, the Tribune reported.
Marshall was testifying before the Admissions Review Commission convened in Chicago by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. Katehi said she is not on the list of people being called to testify.
She said her decision to leave the University of Illinois has nothing to do with the scandal. "I decided to come to UC Davis because it's a great school, " she said.
Monday Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, called for an investigation into Katehi's role in the controversy. But UC officials said they won't be doing one.
Before working at Urbana-Champaign, Katehi was the dean of engineering and a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University. Before that she was associate dean for academic affairs and graduate education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
King said Katehi's $400,000 salary is 25 percent less than what is earned by chancellors at similar universities. The chancellor also will be provided with housing, a $9,000 annual car allowance and a $100,000 relocation allowance, as well as moving expenses, among other benefits.
Her husband, Spyros Tseregounis, who holds an adjunct faculty position at the University of Illinois, will be considered for a similar appointment at Davis, said university officials.
Katehi, a 55-year-old native of Greece, will start her new job on Aug. 17.


Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! reveals the undeniable icons of the classic car scene.
The book features a selection of models that go far beyond mere technical stats and gleaming chrome. Rather, they all offer something far more valuable: compelling stories. These include the rare and uniquely configured Lamborghini Miura SV Coupe purchased by rock star Rod Stewart. Or the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Coupe from 1937 that, after the owner's death, was rediscovered by his family sitting exactly as he left it nearly a half-century earlier. All the big names are included, but the focus is on what can be found behind the logos and the polished surfaces.


Spike (Town Mouse) is a city slicker. He loves the fast pace of life, the bright lights and the noise and bustle of the town. Dandelion (Country Mouse) prefers the open spaces, the quiet and the simpler life of the country. What happens when they suddenly find themselves in the unfamiliar surroundings of each other's very different worlds?
Based on Aesop's fable, Town Mouse, Country Mouse takes the audiences on a magical journey into the world of the mischievous mice, while gently exploring themes of culture, diversity and understanding.

In de natuurkunde wordt het continuüm gebruikt als een geïdealiseerd model van veel grootheden; zie continuümmechanica. Op de macroscopische schaal van het alledaagse leven is dit de manier waarop mensen naar objecten, zoals een stuk glas, metaal of water kijken: als een ding dat je met het blote oog kunt zien. Dit is in feite ook hoe wetenschappers, zoals Gauss, Stokes en Maxwell, tot het einde van de 19de eeuw keken naar materie voordat het atoom was ontdekt.

Materie bestaat op kleine schaal uit  moleculen. Continuümbeschrijvingen zien echter niet op de bewegingen van ieder individueel molecule, maar op de gemiddelden van een groot aantal moleculen samen. De grootheden die wij waarnemen op macroscopische schaal zijn bijvoorbeeld dichtheid, snelheid en temperatuur. Deze grootheden bevinden zich op een veel grotere lengte- en tijdschaal dan de individuele moleculen en kunnen daarom worden gezien als continue functies van plaats en tijd.

WORCESTER OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY
For the best in amateur productions
Our next show
Great entertainment on your doorstep
Worcester Operatic & Dramatic Society (WODS) was formed in 1892. We perform several musical shows each year usually at the Swan Theatre in Worcester. Anyone from 16 to 116 is welcome to join whether you're a dancer, singer or actor, or want to help out backstage, we're always on the look out for new members.
We also have 2 youth groups – WODYS & WODAC. Formed in 1982 WODYS now perform a musical show at the Swan Theatre, Worcester every year. Youngsters between the ages of 8 and 18 are trained in all aspects of theatre work, including singing, dancing, acting and general stagecraft.
Tickets for WODS productions can be purchased either from the Swan Theatre box office or from WODS directly. Click here for more.
The majority of our productions are staged at the Swan Theatre Worcester. Some of our smaller productions take place at our rehearsal venue in Worcester.
Do you enjoy singing, dancing or acting? Would you like to improve your performance skills? Maybe you would like to be involved with the numerous backstage roles vital for a smooth running and successful production? Are you interested in becoming part of a friendly and well respected organisation with over 200 dedicated members and over 100 years of performance history?
For infomation about joining Worcester Operatic & Dramatic Society, click here. For how to find us, click here.
On 17th February 1892 at a meeting in the High Street, Worcester, the Worcester Operatic & Dramatic Society was founded. The first production, HMS Pinafore, was presented at the Public Hall in Worcester to capacity houses. The second production, Patience, was moved to the Theatre Royal in Angel Street. A surplus of £60 was donated to the Royal Infirmary. At the Annual General meeting at the Star Hotel in 1893, the membership subscription was fixed at one guinea (£1.05) per year, to include six free seats! Since these inaugural days, a considerable sum has been donated to many local charities. Recent decades have seen many changes in the work of the Society, moving on to more ambitious productions, including most of the modern full scale musicals. In 1954 we lost the Theatre Royal due to redevelopment, but happily moved to the Festival Theatre Malvern, where we performed our Autumn shows for many years.
Conscious of being a Worcester Society, we consider ourselves fortunate in having the Swan Theatre in Worcester, where, since 1966 we started staging our Spring shows. The theatre is now run by Worcester Live and since 2007 has become our main venue for our bi-yearly large scale musical productions. In 1981 with the support of members and friends, the society purchased its own home at St Mary's Hall, Northfield Street, Worcester, where we rehearse and stage our smaller productions.

Everybody Has Ideas for Kohl's…Except How to Make It a Better Retailer
Photo by Markus Spiske on Pexels.com
We haven't seen a retail dogfight like this one in a long, long time…maybe never.
Last time I checked there were perhaps three or four serious suitors trying to take over Kohl's – and as many as 20 companies kicking the tires and snooping around.
Their ideas about what to do with the company if they get their way are all over the spectrum: sell it, go private, break it up, sell the real estate, kick out the current management and board, go larger, go smaller and generally financially engineer the hell out of the retailer to make more money for those potential new owners.
Hey, listen, making money is a good thing. I'm a huge fan of the concept. But when you listen to their plans or read between the lines on what their intentions might be, you discover a very curious fact: it doesn't seem like any of them have even the faintest idea how to make Kohl's a better retailer…and ultimately a better business.
Kohl's is not a bad retailer. Under CEO Michelle Gass they are doing many good things. The deal to accept Amazon returns, which I suspect may not be quite the traffic builder they say, is still a nice tie-in. Stealing Sephora from JCPenney was a very impressive move, because that in fact is a brand that will bring in the buying bodies. Kohl's has also snared a couple of real name brands, like Under Armour and Draper James, in its efforts to reach new Millennial-aged shoppers.
Other initiatives, like subletting some of its floor space to third-party retailers like Aldi and Planet Fitness, are less impactful, seemingly more about making headlines than money. And Kohl's recent announcement that it would open 100 small-scale stores is really an unknown since it currently only has one such location in operation.
No, Kohl's is far from a basket case. There are plenty of other retailers in far worse shape. But the fact remains that its revenues have been flat for years and the vultures are circling their wagons ever tighter and tighter around Menomonee Falls. But here's the thing: it seems that all the ideas being floated by these takeover guys are all about delivering more profits for owners and investors. That's a great short-term solution that, yes, will make whoever gets Kohl's a bunch of money. But once those checks are cashed then what? They still haven't fixed whatever is wrong with the company.
And what exactly is wrong? It's not such an easy answer. Kohl's sells into the middle market and that is a distinct liability these days. It's also one that can't be easily fixed. Go lower and you bump into Walmart and Target. Trade up and you go up against Macy's, not to mention the thousands of apparel specialty chains. Kohl's, for better or worse, is stuck in the middle.
It's not a real estate issue either. Its stores are the right size, not giant behemoths like legacy department stores. They are generally located in the right locations, off the mall and easily accessible for quick shopping trips. (One of the most underrated aspects of Kohl's success was the fact that most stores had two entrances off the parking lot, making it easier to get in and out faster.)
Maybe there are some merchandising fixes though they are not readily apparent. Back in its prime Kohl's sweet spot was the young family, with clothing and footwear for kids and their parents. Maybe they can work on that. Maybe they can beef up their e-commerce, though from the outside it's not bad and not really behind the competition.
I think there are opportunities in the home area, which is underdeveloped, particularly in hard goods like housewares and décor accessories. But apparel, which is by far the largest category in the merchandise mix, is the driving factor and that's what needs to be examined to see where the holes are. Gass is talking about evolving the store into "a more focused lifestyle concept centered around the active and casual lifestyle." OK, that's a good customer to go after, but it will need more than the Lululemon crowd to make 1,100 stores work. I'm still thinking there are lot more families out there than people running 5Ks.
But I don't know about you, I'm not hearing any of these people who want to get their hands on Kohl's talking about any of this. We've seen this act before, where guys come in and focus on the finances rather than the business itself. It's an ugly story with too much retail strategy tragedy to count. Short-term is by definition not a long-term plan.
Kohl's is fighting off all of these guys as best as they can but it just looks like there's too many out there for something not to happen. Shareholders need to lay out all the plans on the table and see which ones makes the most sense for the long-term success of the company and we'll see who wins.
Current management may not have all the answers but at least they know what the questions are.

OSSREA recognises the need for upgrading the research skills of its members so as to build the teaching and research capacity of the institutions in Eastern and Southern African countries where it has its chapters. To this end, OSSREA's Research Methodology Institute has started offering short-term training in social science research methodology. The training focuses on emerging thinking in social science research, ethical issues in social science research, mainstreaming gender and environmental issues, developing research proposals, choosing study approaches and designs, planning and managing social science research and writing a research report.
Major Objective
The major objective of the training program is to upgrade the research skills of its members so as to build the teaching and research capacity of the institutions in Eastern and Southern African countries.
Specific Objective
Expose researchers to skills specific to particular methodologies, e.g. quantitative and qualitative approaches;
Expose researchers to analytical skills needed to evaluate policies; analyse and assess research orientations, strategies and diffusion; evaluate programmes and projects;
Expose researchers to computer skills in research;
Expose researchers to training in methods relevant to issues such as environment and development, and gender sensitive research.
The Role of OSSREA
OSSREA disseminates the announcement for applications through its website, newsletter, posters and brochures. The posters and brochures are distributed through the liaison officers of OSSREA located in various universities in eastern and southern Africa. A jury will examine the applications and select successful candidates. Priority is given to applicants based in educational and research institutions. OSSREA usually covers the cost of training for such successful candidates. Other eligible candidates can be asked to find sponsors and pay for the training cost. The training cost ranges from 1500-2000 USD. The resource persons for the training are recruited by OSSREA.
Beginning 2011 OSSREA has embarked on advanced programmes of capacity development. Instead of concentrating on only training young scholars at Masters or Bachelors level, a function which the universities are carrying out efficiently, it has targeted trainers and PhD students based in universities, think tanks and other research organizations. Capacity development for research is a cross cutting activity in all the five clusters of the OSSREA research programme. The capacity development activities are delivered through three modalities. The first modality involves the regional research methodology training courses for PhD students from various universities in the two sub-regions and the second one involves the national research methodology training courses for PhD students in OSSREA's RESSESA partner universities. The third modality involves a research methodology refresher training courses for trainers. The trainings are advanced research methodology courses based on a mixed -method approach that seeks to remove the traditional divide between qualitative and quantitative methods. It also introduce social scientists to statistical and mathematical methods which are normally avoided in the social sciences and humanities.
The Research Methodology Training is conducted depending upon the availability of fund. A call for application is posted on the home page of OSSREA's website and applicants should be based in Eastern and Southern Africa and fulfill the requirement stated in the call. Please keep on visiting the website for the call or register on OSSREA's website and we will send you a notification whenever a new call or any other relevant content is posted.

Meet: Nat Johnson
It's not often I taken notice of a drummer. In general, drummers hang about with drummers, talking about cymbals and other stuff mere musicians don't understand (probably like unintentionally slowing down, and wrist injuries. and that) but this particular drummer, let's call him Carl, for the purposes this article, and the fact that that's his name, gave me a cd of songs that he thought I ought to know about. That cd introduced me to what has become over the years, one of my favourite ever songs, Sheffield Shanty by Monkey Swallows the Universe.
The singer of Monkey Swallows the Universe is Nat Johnson. I didn't to admit to Carl he had introduced me to a gem, so I went out and bought both of the albums, and kept a close eye on it main protagonist ever since, in her various guises. What remains entrancing about her music is its folky-quirky beauty, and the strength of its melodies and writing. So when we had the chance of an article, I jumped at the chance. If we can keep all this from Carl, then all the better.
Growing up, was music important in your house?
No one in my family was musical (though my little brother turned out to be pretty good on the guitar later on) and listening wasn't a serious pastime in our house when I was young. All my dad's records from when he was younger were in the attic; stuff like Kid Creole and Grandmaster Flash and I remember the cover of a Dire Straits album. My mum listened to Motown in the kitchen; Diana Ross, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson. When we went on long car journeys we listened to The Carpenters. We went on a family trip to see Michael Jackson on his Bad Tour in 1988 in Leeds.
I asked for a keyboard when I was about seven and got a little Casio – I wrote my first song on that. Also when I was seven, I started playing the violin at school; it was the only instrument offered for free tuition and all the kids were put through weird ability tests to decide which handful of pupils would be suitable for teaching. I was one of them. I kept it up til I was twelve, but it wasn't the instrument for me. My dad had a neglected acoustic guitar in the attic too; down to the bottom two strings and then just the E string. I taught myself the bass line for Wipeout.
I watched Top of the Pops and spent my pocket money on 7" singles. When I got to my teens, I listened to Nirvana and the Manics and Cypress Hill with my friends. At 16 we were listening to the Beatles and Blur and I found Nina Simone and the Doors. At 17 I stumbled on John Peel's show and the Delgados and Belle and Sebastian. I asked for a guitar for my 17th birthday and I taught myself to play.
So no, music wasn't really that important to anyone else in my house, but it was crucial to me and I was supported by my family in seeking it out. It would be another few years though before I'd find the Pixies, and Offbeat at Sheffield Uni, and finally find what I'd been looking for.
You've always sung, though?
I've always enjoyed singing; but it used to be very quietly, to myself. I never dared sing in front of any grown ups when I was little. It was a hugely embarrassing thing to me. I was shy. If I did sing in front of friends, they didn't seem to like it very much, though it's probably because I could be bossy and was trying to instruct them to sing backing vocals to my Kylie Minogue. I joined a choir in secondary school but I was part of the crowd, I stayed quiet, just enjoying the arrangements and the harmonies. The music teacher didn't like me much. I don't think she liked anybody.
I had my first go at singing audibly when I joined a band in sixth form. I even took a couple of singing lessons to help my confidence. It was ok, but I was only allowed to sing lead on one song. It wasn't my band. I enjoyed performing but I didn't like being the 'bit of fluff' backing singer/extra guitarist.
It wasn't until I met Kev (Gori) at uni and we formed Monkey Swallows the Universe that I really started singing. It took a while even then to believe that people liked it. I've always been – and continue to be – more proud of my songwriting than my singing though. Almost anyone can sing and I'm very happy that I can, but I work much harder at writing songs.
And what were your influences when you were starting out?
When I was 17 and teaching myself to play guitar, it was the Delgados and PJ Harvey I was mostly listening to and I think they were a definite influence on my early style. When I started writing again at uni, for MSTU, it was probably still those two, but then they'd been joined by the Pixies, Pavement, the Moldy Peaches, The Kinks, Bright Eyes, Weezer – all the hundreds of bands I'd been looking for and never found until then; then the Decemberists, the Apples in Stereo, Nick Drake, Neil Young, The Shins, The Strokes, Le Tigre, Bearsuit, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
And now? Who's work do you always go back to?
Right now, it's Connie Converse, Nick Drake, Joanna Newsom…people who create seemingly impossibly beautiful wonders that make you feel a little more understood and remind you to stop and look around.
I find it harder to discover new music these days. Gideon Coe on 6music is always a good place to start though, I often think we must have identical taste.
How would you describe your music to people who have never heard it?
It depends which project you mean. I've got a range of sounds in my portfolio; Monkey Swallows the Universe started out as quite a dark, acoustic folk thing, but we also had bouncy little pop songs and country numbers. The Figureheads had more of that too, but being a bit of an escape for me as well I was then able to make a bit more noise after being understated and frustrated for so long. Now I'm going back to what I started with, so it's gone full circle but with a lot more experience and inspiration to guide me this time.
So how did you come to start Monkey Swallows the Universe?
Kev and I started MSTU when we were at uni. I'd found someone to help me find all that music I'd been searching for and we'd go to Offbeat at the uni and there was so much music to listen to, old and new. I knew there'd been something missing in my life til then and suddenly I found it all. That made me pick up my own guitar again and start writing for the first time since I was 17. I knew that had been missing too. I'd get drunk and say that we should form our own band. So we did.
We started playing at parties, opening for friends' bands at pub gigs, the usual way to start out. Kev wore a hat in those days. We sat down on stage. Then Thee SPC (RIP) gave us a bit more of a leg up and we decided to recruit, expanding to a 5-piece with Andy (cello), Rob (drums) and Cate (violin). We went on tour with The Long Blondes, we started playing bigger venues, we put an album out and I started writing another. Things happened quite fast for us really and we never had anyone to tell us how to do things, or how not to do things. We were having some great times, playing at big festivals, going abroad, all kinds of parties. But we were also all trying to hold down jobs and constantly tour at the same time. It was exhausting, we never made more than enough to cover our costs, I was having disagreements with our label (Loose) and we'd end up getting ratty with each other, as anyone would. I was acting as manager and booking agent as well as being the songwriter and lead singer; I was knackered. In the end, I felt I needed to do something else – I didn't feel happy, and MSTU was a happy band. You can't keep that kind of band going with an unhappy frontperson. I'm fiercely proud of our two albums and everything we achieved.
After that finished, you did things solo and as part of the Figureheads?
I put a solo single out after MSTU split – Dirty Rotten Soul – and wrote an album. I recruited some friends to play on it and by the time it came out (on Damaged Goods in 2010) we'd become Nat Johnson & the Figureheads.
I write all the time; it's just something I do. If I didn't, I'd be miserable. When I try to ignore the need, I am denying a part of myself. It's more about the writing and the recording for me than it ever has been about performing. I enjoy performing but I've never been confident with the old stage banter and a lot of people expect that. The reason I am on stage is to sing, not to talk. I'm not a stand up comedian (though I am VERY funny).
You've been performing as Nat, John & Son. Can you tell us about that?
Kev (guitar) moved to Cambridge over a year ago, just after we finished recording I'm Across, I'm Ashore. We were asked to play in Sheffield Cathedral for Tramlines last summer and Kev and Neil (drums) weren't around, which meant there wasn't much point in Chris (bass) playing either. So us girls in the band – me, Emma (Standard Fare, RIP) and Katherine – performed as a trio. We really enjoyed it, so we've done a couple more gigs like that recently. We named this trio version of the Figureheads 'Nat, John & Son'. It's nice to be able to play around with three-part harmonies.
You've played with some great people, What was that like? You toured with Richard Hawley, right?
When MSTU played with Richard Hawley, it was our first taste of a proper professional tour and in all honesty, we weren't ready for it! I was in tears on the first night because the stage manager shouted at me for having too many names on the guest list (as per my prior instructions) and we were hurried on and off the stage like we weren't supposed to be there. At Salford Lowry, poor Andy got his foot got caught in his lead and he knocked his cello over during our set. As we left the stage I heard a middle-aged man snigger 'well that was interesting' and I looked up and saw him kind of laughing at me. I glared at him and to this day wish I'd made a rude gesture. We were doing our best and were out of our depth. Richard, luckily, was lovely to us and it was a pleasure to see him doing his thing every night. I remember he said to me 'You're green now but you'll not be green for long'.
Low are a favourite of mine so that one was a dream come true.
So tell us your plans for the Figureheads. Any album news?
We're about to share a new song and some live footage from our Lantern Theatre gig in December., so keep an eye out for that. I'm working on a solo album this year though so no further Figureheads plans at the moment.
You had the lovely album I'm Across, I'm Ashore out just over a year ago. Is it because you have so many projects on the go at one time?
Are you calling me lazy?! I take my time, I get things right, I don't just churn stuff out. As well as music I paint, draw, work and sometimes write, so I have plenty to keep my attention!
And your solo work? How's that going?
It's going great. I'm constantly writing at the moment and I'm enjoying that as much as I enjoyed writing I'm Across, I'm Ashore, which was a lot. I'm going back to the way I used to play guitar when I first started, as if I'm getting to know it all over again. I'm trying to slow down – in my life, and in my music – and I think this record will reflect that.
What process do you go through when you're writing? Do you record everything at home, or go into a studio?
I write at home, I record in a studio. I keep a notebook. I pick up my guitar when it tells me to. I record snippets of melodies or chords onto my phone. I sometimes demo things on Garageband so that I can think more clearly about instrumentation, arrangements and structure. I used to use a tape recorder for this; I've got tons of tapes full of ten second bursts of songs that sometimes never were and sometimes became whole.
Any tips of new artists for us to look out for?
Public School Battalion. It's Chris' (from the Figureheads) new band. Chris was in Fury of the Headteachers at the same time that MSTU were around. There's also Warren, from Urgent Talk and [Heart] Yeah! and James from Rotary Ten. All dead but not forgotten Sheffield bands.
Where can we see you in the next few months?
I'm hoping to do a few small solo sets so I can test out my new material – I'll be supporting Neil McSweeney at his EP launch in May for one. Emma, Katherine and I are keen to do some more 'Nat, John & Son' gigs. I'm also collaborating with Emma and Rory McVicar in our 'Without Feathers' project. We're touring end of April/early May – we'll be at the Red House on Sunday 28 April supported by Public School Batallion.
Sheffield is……..?
Home. And I'm from Nottingham! I moved to Sheffield in 2000. It's also somewhere I've written three songs about so far (Sheffield Shanty / The Scottish Song / The Harebell) so that should give you an idea of how much it means to me.
Thanks so much! You're welcome!
I hate to admit it, but Carl was right. Nat Johnson in any of her guises makes beautiful, memorable and melodic music, and needs to be both better appreciated and cherished. I might have to start listening to drummers, and what they say. Could be worse, could have to listen to what they play.

Recent breakthroughs in pathogen sequencing technology – both at the hardware and software level – enable the combination of rapid deep sequencing of patient samples with subsequent sequence mapping to a custom, continuously updated reference database to provide near-real-time pathogen detection. Yet, these advancements alone have not been sufficient to provide metagenomic sequencing to patients in low- and middle-resource settings that could benefit the most, largely due to limitations in access or availability of the following essential components: a) expensive equipment/reagents, b) specialized biochemical training, c) accurate reference pathogen sequence databases, d) and advanced computational analytics.
Recognizing barriers for adoption of next-generation sequencing in global health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has partnered with the Chan Zuckerberg (CZ) Biohub and the CZ Initiative to enable patients in low- and middle-resource settings to benefit from cutting-edge pathogen detection and discovery. This partnership will provide highly specialized training in biosample preparation and sequencing to technical staff from awardee global health centers. Trainees will learn to use the open-source, open-access IDseq software developed by CZ-Biohub for the global health community to upload and analyze patient sequencing data. The BMGF-CZ-Biohub partnership will therefore aim to provide selected applicants the benefits of onsite next generation sequencing and rapid pathogen detection to better understand their local pathogen landscape. This initiative is specifically seeking projects that endeavor to build upon their initial locally-focused effort to contribute to future data-informed decision-making at the population level via data sharing and pathogen data comparison across sites.
Through this award, BMGF will support travel and accommodation of grantees for pilot analysis of samples from their home region during hands-on, intensive mentoring provided by the CZ-Biohub in San Francisco. This 2-week instructional period will include both biochemical sample preparation for sequencing and bioinformatic analysis using the IDseq software platform. Specifically, the hands-on training for bench scientists will include best practices and standards for sample processing, DNA & RNA extraction, library preparation, and data analysis on the Global IDseq software platform. Upon completion of training at CZ-Biohub, laboratory teams are expected to use the remaining GCE award primarily on the following items: 1) a sequencer suitable for the global health environment, 2) a dedicated sequencing technician, and 3) sequencing reagents for the duration of the award. The combination of intensive training with molecular, capital equipment, reagent, and personnel support is intended to maximize the potential for sustainable, prospective, onsite analysis of patient samples upon return to the home site. A list of compatible sequencers appropriate for global health use is listed here.
Amount: Phase I grants will be for $100,000 for a grant period of 18 months. Phase I projects that show promise will be eligible to apply for a follow-on grant of up to $1,000,000.
Eligibility: Anyone from any country and in any discipline, from student to tenured professor, and from any organization – colleges and universities, government laboratories, research institutions, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies can submit their ideas for the challenge.


This article analyses the role of the so-called private examinations in our South African insolvency law and deals with the question of whether or not section 417 of the Insolvency Act (Act 24 of 1936) is adequately and effectively framed in order to fulfil its intended purpose in South African law. The contribution also points out that although the scrutiny of private examinations is not novel; it is argued that further exploration of the subject is justified by virtue of the fact that robust and innovative legislative changes have been experienced in the South African corporate landscape. Although the section has already passed the test of lawfulness and constitutionality, the aim is to ascertain whether the section serves a legitimate purpose and is essential and relevant in a democratic society. This is done by considering the South African law relating to South African private examinations and includes academic texts and judicial interpretation. Both section 417 of the Companies Act (Act 61 of 1973) and the matter of Kebble v Gainsford in particular are discussed. A brief comparative analysis of a similar provision in the Insolvency Act of the United Kingdom (UK), namely section 236 of the Insolvency Act 1986 is also included. Finally recommendations are made on aspects where the section may be enhanced by reform which in part relies on the premise that South African insolvency law in toto is desperately in need of an overhaul. The article concludes that it is vital that section 417 be retained in a new insolvency regime as there is a greater awareness of the interdependence between companies and the society in which they function, and it is submitted that there should be an increased responsibility in the insolvency process on the reasons why companies have failed. The accessibility of the section to practitioners, the inquisitorial nature of the proceedings, the wide scope of the section and the effective sanctions should examinees not comply together combine to make a formula that has over the years proved impervious to circumvention and it therefore fulfils its function with prudent efficiency.
