Further to my previous post on 'What's the Most Beautiful Car of All Time?', The (London) Telegraph has finally published the results of its survey. Click HERE to read, and view their Top 100.
Oddly, the bottom end of their Top 100 'Most Beautiful' seem to be in reverse alphabetical order, so I suspect a lot of lumping together rather than actual counting of votes.
Needless to say I am devastated and disappointed that NO HONDAS made it into the top 100! Pah! Or that Renault Floride.
Still, it's good to see many of the ones I fancied, including Facel Vega, Cord 810, and various iconic Aston Martins.
Plus the Lancia Stratos, a little gem I'd forgotten about.
And at Number One… the E-type Jaguar! Of course. What else?
pictures stolen from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ and various other unackowledged sources — sorry!
Thanks to an invitation from my bro, today I ventured across south London to Kew Gardens, where 28 of Henry Moore's massive sculptures have been installed, scattered throughout the gardens to form a vast outdoor exhibition (which closes next week!). Dodging the vagaries of the weather – which changed with amazing rapidity from bright sun to heavy cloud, howling gale to warm sunshine – we enjoyed a happy afternoon among these monsters (and the burgeoning daffodils, magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias – not to mention the restaurants and teashops, gift shops and loos…).
In our youth, as I recall, it used to cost one penny (at a turnstile) to enter the gardens. (I used to wonder idly whether professional gardeners or horticulturalists could claim their dally penny against income tax, as a business expense.) It now costs £12.25… If that was one old (pre-decimal) penny, at 240 to the pound, this represents an increase in admission charge by a factor of 2940, or 294,000 % ! Hmmm.
The name of Henry Moore (1898-1986) is synonymous with 'modern sculpture' (as Picasso is synonymous with 'modern art') even for people who would profess to know nothing about it. So these gigantic but mostly gentle and friendly figures are already icons of our collective consciousness.
The logistics and practical difficulties of borrowing (from all over the world) and installing these mighty objects, mostly of bronze and weighing many tons, do not bear thinking about. But Moore expressed an affinity for gardens and landscapes, and in this outdoor setting they looked completely at home.
They acted as a magnet to the passing crowds (especially children), who ignored the 'DO NOT CLIMB ON THE SCULPTURES' signs and flocked all over them, scrambling, exploring, touching, knocking and stroking – particularly fascinated by anything with holes in it!
A wonderful experience, blowing away the familiar grumbles about the inaccessibility of 'modern art' and confirming Henry Moore as one of the great artistic creators of the twentieth century.
Down-to-earth and practical scientist and inventor, visionary prophet, inspirational writer — we owe him our thanks for opening our eyes (and directing them skywards) to so many unexplored possibilities.
The Southbank Sinfonia is a brilliant idea – a 'semi-professional' orchestra employing young instrumentalists between college and a professional career. To judge by their list of alumni now in orchestral positions, it works.
The orchestra is the brainchild of conductor Simon Over. It has no state funding (surprise surprise!) and is maintained by a large roster of generous supporters and huge amounts of goodwill, particularly through partnerships with 'grown up' orchestras such as the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, who provide coaching, playing opportunities and 'sit-ins' alongside professional players. And imaginative sponsors like accompanist Malcolm Martineau who provides free refreshments at concerts – hooray!
It began with a Vivaldi Concerto for Two Trumpets, bravely performed without a conductor. The soloists (Christopher Seddon and Rob Wallace) were two cool dudes to whom evidently nothing was a problem – they enjoyed every minute and played faultlessly, stationing themselves antiphonally either side of the band.
Two quibbles: how could anyone think it's OK to perform any kind of baroque concerto without a keyboard continuo?? Just because it 'sort of' works to have just a cello and bass accompanying the soloists, that doesn't make it right. And no, the slow movement is not just 'a mere six bars long… a passage of modulation played by the strings alone' – which is how they played it, earnestly and meaninglessly: no, it's the basis for something – keyboard improvisation? Violin improvisation? (Probably not the trumpets, as they need the rest.) Something has to happen, and somebody has to take a decision about what. Awful sinking feeling that STILL nobody in the music colleges is taught anything beyond the received nineteenth-century ways of playing things.
The orchestra was joined by Australian soprano Anita Watson, a rising star in the ROH's firmament and a radiant smiling presence (I previously enjoyed hearing her in Donizetti's Rita – read more here). Her choice of arias – Mozart's 'Nehmt meinen Dank' and the 'Et incarnatus' from the C minor Mass, and Richard Strauss's 'Morgen' – suited her to perfection. Lovely violin solo in the Strauss, from leader Tatiana Byesheva.
In between Anita Watson's items, Graham Sheen conducted his arrangement of five Danzas Gitanas by Joaquin Turina. The rather vague programme note did not describe the individual movements or even tell us what forces Graham had arranged them for. As far as I could see, it was a wind decet (flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns) with extras – piccolo, cor anglais – plus two trumpets and a double bass. Smashing arrangements, full of vivid colours and rhythmic life. I slightly felt that the clarinets had a raw deal – perhaps because the trumpets had grabbed their share of the melodic interest? Very nice anyway, and must have been great fun to play. I hope they'll be published.
And a definitely rum item to finish – Manuel de Falla's Seven Spanish Popular Songs, but with no singer! Hamlet without the Prince? I am reliably informed that it was never intended that Anita Watson should sing these. But they sounded distinctly 'so-what'-ish in their orchestral guise. Ah well.
A: The body is consisted into three parts – the brainium, the borax and the abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain; the borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels, A, E, I, O, and U.


Is the toot of your own horn more like a sad trombone? Here's how to self-promote in a way that doesn't sound selfish.
From our earliest years, we learn to love stories and to tell them. Stories inform and inspire and entertain. They are among our most important connection tools.
I've asked for and received a lot of advice over the course of my career. Some advice has been long-standing and helpful. Other advice purely comical.

Get ready for the best low buy in tournament in Europe! November 2nd sees the Battle of Malta begin.
Hands down, any poker enthusiast and pro would say that the Battle Of Malta (BOM) is the best standalone event in Europe. Not only does it bring poker players from all over the globe, but it is taking place on island of Malta, a real gem in the mediterranean. Even registered players that go out of the tournament early will enjoy the fantastic climate and its rich historical culture. Online poker players love to qualify for this event!
Every poker operator of note will be represented with their respective teams of poker pros when the battle kicks off in a month's time at the Portomaso Casino in St. Julians on the 2nd november climaxing with the final table of the main event on the 7th november 2016. It is a tournament that poker players really look forward to. The low buy in and the 500.000 EUR guaranteed prize pool is just part of the attraction. Online poker for real money sites such as Guts.com Poker will be holding poker satellites that allow some of their players to qualify for the event and will be following their poker pro's closely whilst Malta transforms into a poker party festival.
Hosted again by female poker pro Maria Ho, poker player and television personality we may only wait and see if the record breaking 2015 event with over 1800 registered players can bettered this year. The 550 EUR Buy In allows amateurs to chance their hand as well as creating a great backdrop to the names of the established pro who pop up when you least expect to see them. BOM is a staple in many a pro's diary.
Pokerlistings are hosting this marvellous tournament and there is no end to fun and relaxation. Attending players will have a buffet dinner every day they play and be treated to not one, not two, not three, but 4 exclusive VIP parties. The BOM parties have become quite legendary over the last 5 years.
Voted best Poker Event last year at the PokerAwards, The Battle of Malta is quite the event on the small island of Malta. Malta is summer, sun and sea. The island has always been at the centre of various historical events due to its strategic location. "All" have been here and left their mark over the years and created a diverse community rich in architecture, language, food and people.
Surrounded by the Mediterranean at its clearest and bluest mixed with sand coloured buildings built in the Baroque style. The capital city of Valletta is a favorite photo subject. Built after the great siege of Malta in 1565 to prevent the Ottoman Empire trying to conquer Malta again. The steep limestone walls plunge into the sea, creating a dramatic contrast. Malta is small, barren and sparse yet beautiful.
This authour might be a little biased, as she lives in Malta, however she has a feeling that this year's Battle of Malta (BOM) may be the best one yet!

Today I went to the Bay to buy a pair of men's gloves and toque for Moses because he is to fly to Mainland China to film "The Land of Wealth." I also went to Carlton Cards to buy a Christmas card and went to A Buck or Two for a gift bag. I put everything into a box and I called FedEx to come and pick the package up.
FedEx called today and they told me that there was no suite number on the address for the package. Okay, the thing was that I was supposed to send the package to Yan, a fan of Moses' that lives in Hong Kong. She had forgotten to give me her suite number for her building. Luckily, I had received an e-mail from her informing all of the members of MC Hall (Moses fan site) that they would be sending Moses to the airport on December 12, 2005 at 10:00 a.m... She had listed 2 other contact members' phone numbers plus herself. So, I told FedEx what Yan's phone number was and Yan was able to receive the package in time to give to Moses. Yan e-mailed me and told me that she had received the package and told me to calculate time difference and call her cell phone so I would be able to talk to Moses.
At 8:00 p.m. I tried to call Yan's cell phone but it didn't work. So I tried again and it still didn't work. Then my sister, Sarah found out that I needed to dial 011 in order to make a call to HK. It started to ring and I had gotten through. A female voice answered and the background was very noisy and loud. I asked for Yan an explained that I'm Ivy calling from Canada. Yan was very surprised and excited to hear that I was calling. She told me that Moses was doing an interview at that moment and she told me to wait. I asked her if she had received the package and she told me that she had already given it to Moses. Then I asked her if Moses liked the gifts? She told me that Moses forgot to bring gloves. When he saw the gloves he was very happy and had put them on right away.
Then I thanked her for helping me out. She said it was no problem. Then she told me that Moses was done his interview. She handed the phone over to him and said, "Its Ivy calling".
I heard Moses say, "Oh" in the background. He took the phone and said, "Hello Ivy ah! Thank you ah". I asked him if he liked the gifts, he said, "I like them". I ask him, "Do they fit?" He replied, "They fit, and they fit really well". I can hear him laugh. I tell him to keep warm and take care. He said he will and I then said bye bye and so did he. Yan was back on the phone and told me that Moses was getting ready to board the airplane soon. She told me that she would e-mail me. I thanked her once again and hung up.
I was so excited to speak to Moses on the phone. I was also very nervous. There was a moment of silence when I was talking to him because I was so happy that I was thinking, "Oh my god! Ah!!!" I was shaking and my heart was pounding very fast. I sounded weird when I told him to keep warm. It seemed as if I didn't know how to speak Cantonese. Ha ha ha!
In this picture, Moses is wearing the gloves that I got him, holding the Christmas card in his left hand, holding the gift bag in his right hand, and bitting onto the toque that I also got for him.

The gloves are strapped onto his backpack.
This is how Moses looked when he was talking to me on the phone.

*A special thanks to Fun Yan for taking the pictures for me.
Here is the news from that day:
陳豪、馬浚偉、楊怡、郭羨妮及李永豪等一班《匯通天下》的演員,昨早出發到橫店拍一個月外景,由於橫店天氣寒冷,大部分演員都帶備數個大行李箱,以致行李超重。
昨日不少fans前往送行,其中以楊怡和陳豪的fans佔最多,陳豪更拿出獲贊助的新型號數碼相機為記者及fans拍照留念,並打趣謂要充當狗仔隊呢!期間陳豪邊笑邊傾電話,他解釋只是跟fans傾幾句,相對於其他演員,他的行李不算多,只得一個大行李箱及一件手提行李。問到緋聞女友廖碧兒可會去探班?他笑道:「橫店不容易去的,要付出努力呀!」他又謂今次不會去蒲,只會留在房內聽歌及吟詩。
馬浚偉帶了兩箱行李出發,包括慣用的成藥、海味及一對啞鈴,帶啞鈴是為保持適當運動量,帶海味是準備冬至那天煲湯跟大家慶祝。問到可擔心被「爆房」?他相信之前發生的只是個別事件,自己最緊張反而是分房間,為免惹緋聞,已聲明寧可跟工作人員同層,也堅持不與演員做「鄰居」,以免被傳媒借位偷拍,指他入誰人房間。馬仔又透露出發前高層曾勵珍曾下令不准任何人夜間外出,所以他笑言要跟住姜大衛,因他最乖。
與豪對話 II Phone Conversation with Moses Chan II
Fans of Moses Chan would know that he was born on the 16th of April in 1971. Every year, for the last five years, his Hong Kong fans have been holding birthday gatherings for him. It was confirmed that this year's party be held on Saturday, April 21, 2007 from 8 pm - 11 pm (HKT). Ever since giving Moses his Christmas present in 2005, I have been keeping in touch with MC Hall's, Yan.
Thursday, April 12, 2007 around 4 pm
I went and purchased a pair of sunglasses for Moses. Since he is busy filming for TVB's "The Gem of Life" and will be flying out to Africa to film sometime soon, I figure a pair of sunglasses to protect his eyes would be the perfect gift. Later, I went to Staples and used their FedEx service and had the parcel shipped out the next day. When I went home, I still managed to catch that week's episode of CSI. Hehehe...
Using FedEx's tracking system on-line, the parcel arrived in HK on Monday, April 16th. Plus, Yan had informed me through e-mail that she had received the parcel. She also told me that she will call me when Moses unwraps the present.
Since the tram party was held at night between the hours of 8-11, I knew around 6 am - 11 am, I would be receiving a phone call.
Yan called me and informed me that Moses is unwrapping my present. In detail form, she told me exactly what was going on at that moment. "He is unwrapping it right now. Oh, there's a box within a box!" (Actually, it was just the sunglasses case within that box.) Then, I heard "Wah!" and other voices from the background. She told me that Moses was wearing the sunglasses and everybody was taking pictures with him. Later I heard, "ho ying ah!" (Very cool!) Then she handed her cellphone to Moses.
M: Hello, Ivy ah? Ivy...
I: Hi Moses!
M: Thank you for your gift.
I: I hope you like it.
M: I like it! It's very nice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I: You can wear it when you film in Africa. It will protect your eyes.
M: I will, I'm wearing it right now... Thank you. I'm sorry, the reception is bad. I can't really hear you... Wah! There's a red pocket (hung bau) Thank you!
I: It's for MC Hall.
M: The hung bau is for MC Hall. Thank you! ( I believe he gave the red pocket to a member from MC Hall because it sounded like he turned around away from the phone.) I hope I will have a chance to meet with you.
I: Actually, I met you last year when I went to HK.
M: Oh yes, that's right, then I hope we'll see each other again.
The phone reception was really bad, so Moses handed the phone back to Yan. Yan thanked me for the little gift and said she will contact me and send me pictures.
The end time was 8:05 am.
After thought: So, this time I was on the phone with Moses for at least a full two minutes. It was crazy! You can so tell Moses is Taishanese because he said "hung bau" instead of "lai si". No wonder he spoke a little Taishanese in "Heart of Greed".

The 2017 Draft Class by the Numbers
Randy Lange
NYJets.com Contributor
We couldn't let the Jets' just completed draft slip into the history books without a few more observations on the Class of '17 by the numbers:
Top-Heavy with DBs
With the drafting of Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye in the first two rounds, that marked not only the first time the Jets took safeties with their first two picks in a draft but also the first time they took two defensive backs with their first two picks.
The closest the Green & White have come to taking two DBs with their first two picks:
2014 — S Calvin Pryor (first pick, Round 1) and CB Dexter McDougle (third pick, Round 3)
1998 — S Scott Frost (second pick, Round 3) and CB Kevin Williams (third pick, Round 3)
1988 — CB Terry Williams (second pick, Round 2) and S Erik McMillan (third pick, Round 3) (and CB James Hasty the fourth pick, also in Round 3)
1985 — S Lester Lyles (second pick, Round 2) and CB Donnie Elder (third pick, Round 3)
Of that foursome, the biggest impact was made in 1988. Williams, out of Bethune-Cookman, managed 11 games, no starts and two seasons for the Jets. But McMillian, from Missouri, had a too brief but very bright five-year career in the deep middle, earning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in '88 and two Pro Bowl appearances and notching a franchise-record seven return touchdowns, five on interceptions and two on fumbles.
This personal message to Adams and Maye: "Show me" you both can equal or top McMillan's impact on the Jets defense, beginning with this weekend's rookie minicamp at the Atlantic Health Training Center.
The picks of Adams (LSU), Maye (Florida) and WR ArDarius Stewart (Alabama) with their top three selections and CB Derrick Jones (Mississippi) with their last gave the Jets four Southeastern Conference additions to their roster.
The last time the Green & White went to one particular conference's well four times was 11 years ago. In the 2006 draft they brought in four players from the Big Ten — C Nick Mangold (1B, Ohio State), LB Anthony Schlegel (3A, Ohio State), S Eric Smith (3B, Michigan State) and TE Jason Pociask (5, Wisconsin). Mangold, of course, started 164 games and played in seven Pro Bowls through the 2016 season, and Smith played in 95 with 36 starts.
The one-conference fourpack-plus was executed nine times before that, with seven picks coming from the SEC in 1974 and the Titans/Jets Big Ten scout living large by tabbing 26 conference players in the four AFL drafts from 1961-64.
Before Stewart and Chad Hansen out of Cal in Round 4, it had been 17 years since the Jets had taken wide receivers with back-to-back picks. In 2000, after they were done with "the Four Aces," they tabbed Laveranues Coles (Round 3, Florida State) and Windrell Hayes (Round 5, Southern Cal). ... Jordan Leggett (Round 5, Clemson) is only the second tight end ever selected by the Jets out of the ACC. The first was Billy Griggs (Round 8, 1984, Virginia). ... The youngest of this year's nine picks: Adams (21 years, 197 days). The oldest: LB Dylan Donahue (24 years, 255 days).

Last month I got a nice surprise in the mail - a package from LUSH with a sample of their exfoliating cleanser Let the Good Times Roll. The "popcorn-inspired" cleanser promises to be "smoothing, soothing, and ever so slightly warming on the skin." and I was excited to try it out.
Sometimes I shy away from LUSH products because the scents can be too strong, so I was happy when I opened the cute container (love LUSH packaging) and found a subtle delicious smell that reminded me of my favorite pumpkin scones - perfect for the Fall/Winter season! The cleanser has only a few ingredients - all natural and recognizable, and uses corn meal and cinnamon to smooth and stimulate skin.
I really love the gentleness of this scrub and the invigorating feeling after I wash it off. My skin feels soft and doesn't get dried out - a problem I've had with some other products. Because I have dry/sensitive skin, I've been using Let the Good Times Roll 2-3 times a week as a smoothing treatment - rather than a day to day cleanser - and follow-up with a moisturizing mask for a nice fresh glow.
At first I found the scrub a bit challenging to apply: the instructions suggest mixing it with water in your hand to get the perfect consistency, but I would always end up with a drippy mess or something way too thick! I've since figured out that if I wet my hands and my face before massaging it into my skin, it turns out just right. My advice is to experiment with what feels best for you and you won't be disappointed - with the seasons changing and the weather getting cooler, our skin deserves a special treat!

Two years on, Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway Line Carries 275,000 tons of Freight
by Giorgi
The railway line connecting Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, establishing a freight and passenger link between Europe and China, has carried 275,000 tons of freight since it was launched in October 2017, Turkey's transport and infrastructure minister said.
Cahit Turhan's remarks come on the occasion of the second anniversary of the inauguration of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway line, which was launched by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, his Azerbaijani counterpart İlham Aliyev and then-Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili in Alyat, Azerbaijan.
Officials from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan also attended the inauguration ceremony.
Providing the shortest rail link between Europe and Asia, BTK plays an important role in the implementation of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the North-South Transport Corridor.
Starting in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, trains stop in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, pass through gauge-changing facilities in the Georgian town of Akhalkalaki and end their journey in the eastern Turkish town of Kars.
This project connects not only three countries, but also the U.K., France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and China. The 826-kilometer railway line, extending from Baku to Kars, complements a major part of the Middle Corridor with the Caspian Pass line.

The surrender came after months of bombing raids across the Japanese countryside, two atomic bombs, and the Soviet Union's declaration of war on the island nation.
The iron resolve of the Japanese was a major factor the US anticipated while planning the invasion of mainland Japan. The culture known for literally putting death before dishonor with practices such as hara-kiri would not, by any stretch of the imagination, go softly into surrender.
This iconic photo was taken August 14, 1945, "Victory over Japan Day," during a parade in Times Square.
By the time the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, 500,000 Japanese had already died during bombing raids, not just in Tokyo, but in smaller towns too.
But despite several bombing raids a week in the beginning of 1945, and the resulting displacement of 5 million people, the Japanese remained resolute.
And as US forces prepared a ground invasion, they were acutely aware of the challenges they faced against an iron-willed Japanese population.
More than half of Tokyo was destroyed during bombing raids.
Nevertheless, the Allied forces prepared to send 42 aircraft carriers, 24 battleships, and 400 destroyer ships and escorts to Japan's coast. The Allies expected 456,000 deaths in the invasion of Japan's military stronghold at the island of Kyushu alone.
In preparation for what everyone expected to be a bloody, prolonged clash, the US government manufactured 500,000 Purple Hearts to be awarded to troops wounded in the invasion.
At the same time, 32 million Japanese braced for war. That figure includes all men ages 15 to 60, and all women ages 17 to 45. The US anticipated them to bear whatever weapons they could muster, from bamboo spears, to antique cannons, to machine guns.
Children had even been trained to act as suicide bombers, strapping explosives to themselves and rolling under Allied tank treads.
But on July 16, 1945, the US secretly and successfully carried out the world's first atomic-bomb detonation, giving the US another option in the war against Japan.
An aerial view of the aftermath of the first atomic explosion at Trinity Test Site, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. It left a half-mile-wide crater, 10 feet deep at the vent. The sand within the crater had been burned and boiled into a highly radioactive, jade-green, glassy crust.
After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, where 140,000 lost their lives, on August 8, the USSR then declared war on Japan as well, and on the next day they attacked Japanese-occupied Manchuria, China. On that same day, an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing another 40,000 instantly.
Japan had previously been presented the Potsdam Declaration, or terms for an unconditional surrender, but the country had refused it.
Even after the two atomic bombs, Japan would not surrender for fear of how Emperor Hirohito would be treated after the war.
Emperor Hirohito was not merely a constitutional monarch, but a living god in the eyes of the Japanese. They would not see him treated as a war criminal by Allied forces — and after Pearl Harbor and 20 million or so Asian lives lost to Japanese imperialism, the Allies would accept nothing less than an unconditional surrender.
Japan and the Allies spent mid-August arguing over the exact language of the surrender, but on August 15, Emperor Hirohito addressed his nation via radio for the first time ever to announce the country's surrender. Because of a difference in time zones, this anniversary is remembered on August 14 in the US.

Switch's Sports Story Is A Sequel To Golf Story, And It Sounds Wild
Nintendo Switch exclusive Golf Story is getting a sequel: Sports Story. Announced via a trailer during Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase, Sports Story expands on Golf Story's wacky take on a golf-centered game to tell an even more wild story that sees you play a wide variety of different sports.
The new Sports Story trailer, embedded below, showcases a return of Golf Story's golf mechanics and the addition of tennis, soccer, baseball, and fishing too. Like its predecessor, Sports Story will use these sports to create unique interpretations of classic RPG missions and tropes, such as dungeons, spy missions, and more. Also, like Golf Story, Sports Story will be a Switch exclusive, releasing for Nintendo's hybrid console in mid-2020.
For those who haven't played it, Golf Story is one of the best RPGs of 2017, following a man who decides to quit his job and leave his long-time girlfriend to go pursue profession golfing after having not played the sport in 20 years. The graphics, storytelling, and characters are all reminiscent of Earthbound–but instead of engaging in typical RPG turn-based battles, all of your problems are solved through golfing. And I do mean all of your problems, ranging from battling the undead to solving a Who Dunnit-style murder mystery. It's a very fun game, with excellent writing and a wonderfully humorous story.

Hypoparthyroidism is having too little parathyroid hormone, which causes abnormal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus.
Calcium and phosphorus are important body minerals. They form the mineral component of bones, and they exist as charged particles called ions in the blood and inside cells.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in bone and blood. PTH is made by four small parathyroid glands located in the neck, behind the thyroid gland.
Hypoparathyroidism is the disease caused by a lack of PTH. Blood calcium levels fall, and phosphorus levels rise. Low blood calcium levels may cause symptoms such as tingling in the lips, fingers, and toes. It may also cause muscle cramps or spasms.
The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is injury to the parathyroid glands during head and neck surgery. Rarely, hypoparathyroidism is a side effect of radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism. PTH secretion also may be impaired when blood levels of magnesium are low, or when blood pH is too high, a condition called metabolic alkalosis.
DiGeorge syndrome is a childhood disease in which hypoparathyroidism occurs due to a total absence of the parathyroid glands at birth. Familial hypoparathyroidism occurs with other endocrine diseases, such as adrenal insufficiency, in a syndrome called type I polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I).
The risk factors for hypoparathyroidism include recent thyroid or neck surgery, a family history of parathyroid disorder, or certain autoimmune endocrine diseases such as Addison's disease.
The goal of treatment is to restore the calcium and mineral balance within the body.
Oral calcium carbonate and vitamin D supplements are usually life-long therapy. Blood levels are measured regularly to make sure that the dose is correct. A high-calcium, low-phosphorous diet is recommended.
In the event of a life-threatening attack of low calcium levels or tetany (prolonged muscle contractions), calcium is administered by intravenous (IV) infusion. Precautions are taken to prevent seizures or larynx spasms. The heart is monitored for abnormal rhythms until the person is stable. When the life-threatening attack has been controlled, treatment continues with medicine taken by mouth.
The probable outcome is good if the diagnosis is made early. However, dental changes, cataracts, and brain calcifications are irreversible.
Tetany can lead to a blocked airway, requiring a tracheostomy.
Stunted growth, malformed teeth, and slow mental development can occur if hypoparathyroidism develops in childhood.
Overtreatment with vitamin D and calcium can cause hypercalcemia (high blood calcium) and sometimes interfere with kidney function.
There is an increased risk of pernicious anemia, Addison's disease, cataract development, and Parkinson's disease.
Call your health care provider if any symptoms of hypoparathyroidism develop.
Emergency symptoms include seizures and difficulty breathing.
If you undergo thyroid or neck surgery, watch for early signs of hypoparathyroidism so that treatment with calcium and vitamin D supplements can be started promptly.

"I can't tell you how moved I am today to see that nothing can keep me from my friends in Canada." – Paul Robeson
We welcome you to join us for an evening of poetry and music to commemorate Paul Robeson's vibrant, heroic voice raised in artful resistance. Orchestrated by the collaboration of trade-unionists and artists, the Peace Arch Concert of May 18, 1952, straddled borders by outmaneuvering state-sanctioned harassment, violence and silencing. This evening of poetry and music is a tribute to Paul Robeson's contribution to that internationalism, and a celebration of Black History Month.

Daniela's research is a real-world inquiry into the potential of urban metabolism theory and models to inform the planning and design of resource-efficient and climate-resilient cities. Her work positions itself distinctively in the landscape of research into urban metabolism applications in environmental planning and design by operating across two main areas.
The first area relates to the integration of ecosystem service frameworks into urban metabolism modelling approaches to inform green infrastructure planning and design. This includes investigation into nature-based solutions and green infrastructure options to reduce the demand on natural resources and mitigate the environmental pressure resulting from urbanization.
The second focuses on the process of knowledge transfer between research and practice for the design of advanced urban metabolism assessment tools that can better assist policy making and urban planning practice. This includes retrospective evaluations of previously conducted research, as well as a set of pilot projects on the co-design of new urban metabolism models and decision support systems involving researchers and public/industry stakeholders.
Over the last few years, Daniela has served as Principal Investigator and co-Investigator for several research projects on integrated green infrastructure and urban metabolism modelling approaches, in collaboration with public/industry partners across Europe and South-America. These include research partnerships in Brazil (Municipality of Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso, and Goiânia, Goiás), the UK (Reading Borough Council, Directorate of Environment and Neighbourhood Services – Sustainability), Finland (Helsinki City Planning Department), the Netherlands (Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions), France (Etablissement Public Paris-Saclay, and French Government Debate on Energy Transition), and Italy (Alta Murgia National Park Authority and Italian Ministry for the Environment).
Daniela is also founding partner and scientific co-director of the international network Sustainable Urban Metabolisms (SUMs), bringing together leading academics as well as practitioners and decision-makers in Finland, Spain, UK, Estonia, and the Netherlands. Among other activities, SUMs is implementing the first edition of an itinerant International Summer School series on Urban Metabolism for Early-Career Researchers in top-ranked Schools of Architecture and Landscape Architecture in Europe.

Perspective > Medscape Psychiatry
Don't Equate Mass Shootings With Mental Illness
Dinah Miller, MD
Here we go, again, and again, and again.
There just aren't enough tears, and before the bodies of 19 small children are identified, the political noise starts up. Mass shootings are a part of the American landscape, but when they happen at schools, we all feel a distinct sense of violation and gaping grief. Those children are so innocent, so deserving of a right to live their lives, hold their place with their families, create their own legacies, and die of natural causes at a ripe old age. And those children could have been our children. There was nothing special about them; they were just sent to school that day like every child who is sent to school every day.
Here is how the politics goes: The Republicans will blame the Democrats and the Democrats will blame the Republicans. Is Rachel Maddow at fault, or is it Tucker Carlson? Social media accounts blamed both of them for the racially motivated mass murder in a Buffalo grocery store earlier this month.
Mass murders were previously defined as a shooting where four or more victims are killed, excluding the shooter, in a public place that is not related to the commission of another crime. In 2012, the definition was changed to include events with three victims. This definition excludes gang violence and the murder of family members.
When it comes to explaining mass murder, the camps divide: They are the result of some combination of mental illness, easy access to firearms, and terrorism and hate. For psychiatry, there is a unique place in the argument — half of all mass shooters have exhibited signs or symptoms of psychiatric illness, and for those who want to deflect the issue away from issues related to the regulation of firearms, it becomes easy to blame "mental illness," as though that explains it all. Either the gunman "snapped" in such a way that no one could have predicted, or the mental health system is at fault for not preventing it.
There are many ways to be emotionally disturbed; mental illness is only one of them, and there is no psychiatric diagnosis that includes the symptom of shooting strangers, or shooting children. The vast majority of people, including nearly all psychiatrists, will never know someone who perpetrates a mass shooting.
Can mental illness give us any insight into these senseless killings? Sometimes, but rarely. Take John Hinckley, who shot President Reagan as a means to impress actress Jodie Foster. Sometimes these killings are motivated by delusional beliefs. But the planning and preparation that goes into most mass shootings involves a degree of organization and forethought that we don't typically see in those with severe psychotic disorders.
The other psychological explanation that satisfies some of a nonmedical population is that these killers "just snap." This, too, is a term that is not included in our diagnostic vocabulary, but it remains a way for some to explain that which can't be explained. If mental illness, however, is the cause of mass murders, then more stringent gun control is unnecessary. Every state already has a mechanism to prevent those with criminal and specified psychiatric histories from buying legal firearms, and it may be inevitable that these screens are not perfect.
The next line of political thinking moves to the psychiatric "if only." If only there were more state hospital beds and if only it were easier to compel people with psychiatric disorders to get treatment against their will, then we could eliminate these crimes. The Virginia tech shooter was mandated to get outpatient psychiatric treatment after a brief hospitalization, yet he never went and there was no mechanism in place to track him.
In cases where a person with a psychotic illness has a history of repeated violent episodes after stopping medications, it does make sense to mandate treatment, not because they are likely to shoot strangers, but because some people do become violent when they are ill and mental illness is believed to play a role in 10% of murders.
Mass murders remain rare, and while advocates for legislation that would make it easier to mandate involuntary care have cited violence prevention as a reason, it is hard to imagine that we would force people to get care because they "might" commit such a crime — unless there was convincing evidence that someone was at risk of committing such a heinous act.
For those who oppose stronger gun control laws, the "what if" may circulate around the need for even more firearms. What if teachers carried guns? What if schools were more heavily policed? What if the criminals were made to be afraid?
We are left with the fact that other countries do not see these numbers of mass shooting events, yet mental illness is ubiquitous. While the presence of psychiatric disorders does little to explain school shootings, we still have no understanding of what motivated the Sandy Hook killer, and it remains to be seen what we will come to understand about the gunman in Uvalde.
Mental illness is not unique to the United States; however, the number of available firearms is. In a country of 323 million people (including children and people who live in institutions where they have no access to firearms), there are estimated to be over 400 million guns in the US, 98% of which are owned by civilians.
Hate crimes and terrorism are another explanation for mass murders. In these instances, the gunman makes his motive obvious: there are social media announcements, or the site of the shooting is a synagogue, a mosque, or a location where the victims are a specific race or religion. But hate may come out of a psychotic illness, and easy access to firearms allows for these crimes to continue.
Firearms are now the number one cause of mortality in children. Very few of these deaths are the result of mass murders. Many more are from accidental deaths, targeted crime, or suicide. Still, school shootings rip at our hearts. Neither the victims or their grieving families have any role in the act, and suffering leaves its mark on families, communities, and all of us.

In many states, physicians can now request emergency removal of firearms from the home of someone who is both mentally ill and threatening either suicide or homicide. During the era when high-capacity firearms were banned, from 1994 to 2004, mass murders decreased in our country. While most gunmen use legal firearms they have purchased, I would contend that "smart guns" — firearms that allow only the legal owner to operate them based on biometrics – would prevent some mass shootings and many accidents, crimes, and suicides. Universal background checks and tracking gun purchases in the way we monitor controlled medications, or even Sudafed, might allow authorities to predict who might be at risk of committing these heinous acts.
In his newly released book, Trigger Points: Inside the Mission to Stop Mass Murders in America, journalist Mark Follman argues for a proactive community approach using threat assessment methods and providing wraparound services to those who are deemed to be at risk for violent acts. Follman's voice is one of the few out there saying that these events are not random and are, in fact, preventable.
In psychiatry, we struggle with school shootings such as the one we just saw in Uvalde. Our own hearts ache as we hold our children close and empathize with the loss of strangers who have been through the unthinkable. We help our patients as they process their emotions. And we wonder whether any of our patients might ever do anything so horrific. The feelings get complicated, the sadness and anger intermingle while the frustration builds, and we are left with our fears and the hope that if that very rare person were to walk through our office door, we would know what to do.

Welcome to Medtele Inc. As a health specialist, I believe that health is a person's most valuable asset. My mom and dad taught me that fundamental value since I was a child. My mother, Sally, was diagnosed with cancer in 1973. There was no Internet to consult; there was a doctor, who fortuitously was just the sort to partner with a patient and be open to the the latest clinical research.
While I'm all health/care all-the-time in my profession, I try to lead a balanced life. I am passionate about my family and home life. We are devoted adherents of the Slow Food movement, and you can find us over a pot of something slowly cooking or roasting on most Sunday's. I love art (from Botticelli and Fra Angelico to Picasso and Miro), theater and music, big Tuscan reds, my friends, and playing with paper and LEGOs.
Medtele Inc. is currently looking for experienced, highly motivated professionals with proven track records in sales or early stage growth companies for the positions listed below.
Proven "doers" who have successfully done "it" themselves and self-driven.
Are unwavering committed to integrity, quality and compliance.
MedTele Inc. offers highly competitive commissions and bonuses.

I don't often do Tweet tastings, but recently I not only did, but subsequently deleted my tasting notes for the whisky in question before I could save them for posterity. With 24 days of drams to fill, it seems that I now have an excuse to have another taste.
So, for day #11 of my advent calendar – Paul John Bold.
Paul John are a relative newcomer on the international whisky scene, although as the second Indian single malt maker on the general market, their corner isn't all that full. Back in India they are (or at least were when I wrote about them at work a while back) number three in the spirits business, but their single malts only landed in early 2013. They launched with Brilliance – unpeated – and Edited – a mix of peated and unpeated spirit – and the promise of a future release that would be just their smoky whisky. It's taken a couple of years, but it's here – Bold.
Bold is made using Indian barley, with Scottish peat thrown into the mix to provide the smoky dimension. They peat to around 20-25ppm – some randomness being thrown into the mix due to peated malt not being something that local maltsters are used to making – but as yet, other than in a couple of single casks, we've not had a chance to try their take on whisky completely made with peated Indian barley.
Unfortunately, it's not got as far as the shops yet, despite the Tweet tasting being back in October, but it should be appearing soon.
#PaulJohnWhisky Nose: Honeysuckle, porridge (with brown sugar), Cinnamon Grahams, fresh bandages and sweet earthiness – chocolate soil?
#PaulJohnWhisky It's got some almost Japanese-style sweet gluey notes on the nose – almost but not quite fruity. A sign of a misspent youth?
Nose: Concentrated sweetness – and a bit of fruity vinegar shrub that dies away quickly – with vanilla sauce, toffee, candied lemons, model glue and floral syrup. It's also grainy, with swirls of melting white sugar stirred into hot porridge. The sweetness calms down, either as my nose gets desensitised or it actually blows off, to reveal a combination of white chocolate and charcoal. Some leathery notes and wood smoke sit underneath, as well as stewed rhubarb and gooseberry.
Palate: Very sweet, with a strangely minty taste – virulently green mint choc chip ice cream? The sweetness doesn't die down, and with the mint comes boiled sweets and peppery spice. There is some char hiding at the back, along with some leafy greenness.
Finish: Earthy, with soft smoke and lingering mint chocolate.
This second try was very different to my first. This time, while the nose was similar, the flavour was very different. I suspect it's a couple of months in an open sample with a loose cap rather than just my tastebuds, but instead of the unexpressive palate I found during the Tweet tasting, there's a lot more going on. The confected sweetness is still there, but the mintiness was unexpected and the intensity has grown enough to cover the youthful notes I remember from the first time around. There's still not that much smoke, but it's definitely interesting. I'm not sure if I'm a fan, but will definitely be looking to try the whisky from a production bottle when it finally hits the market to see what the finished product is like.

Q: Scrape hyperlinks from an html page I am trying to extract the latitudes and longitudes for the places listed on the right side of this page. I want to create a table like the following:
Place  Latitude Longitude
Agarda 23.12604 87.19869
Ahanda 23.13099 87.18501
.....
.....
West-Sanabandh 23.24876 86.99941

Is it possible to do this in R without calling up the individual hyperlinks for "Agarda:, "Ahanda"... etc. one at a time?

A: The data appears on different pages. You can't get that data without requesting each page.
If R supports threads then you can call them up in parallel rather than one at a time.

A: It's possible to use RCurl to scrape each page in some type of loop or sapply. If you combine it with some regex and/or readHTMLTable (to identify the hyperlinks) then it's a relatively straightforward function.
Within RCurl, it's possible to create a multicurl which will do this in parallel, although given the number of queries involved, it might be just as easy to serialise it and put a small system sleep between queries.

OlliOlli 2 is one of the most satisfying games I've played in a long time, with the way it feels, flows and moves combining with the immediate feedback and constant drive to push you through. Start an ollie into a grind, complete a manual, down a slope, perfect launch, keep it going, reach the end. Level long combo. High score. Completed objectives. Next level. Ollie into NO DON'T PRESS A, STUPID HANDS! Crash.
OlliOlli 2 is also one of the most frustrating games I've ever played for that exact reason. The game immediately gets me into a state of oh-so-ecstatic endorphin-releasing flow and I ride so high on it. The pulsing of the music on the excellent soundtrack and the sounds of the board as I hit the tricks just brings me in. One of those games where I forget to blink.
And then when I'm brought down from that it's a huge shift and it's frustrating and I'm just more upset with myself than I've ever been with almost anything else. I groan in frustration, cursing myself, my controller, my damn human hands, even as I hit retry and start again.
All of which is to say that OlliOlli 2 is superbly designed. The original game was already great, but we're talking Tony Hawk 1 to Tony Hawk 2 levels of improvement here. The original, for its excellent work and the amount of excitement it generated, was good. OlliOlli 2 evolves it, adds more modes, more tricks, more reward and a greater ability to just chain everything together.
And for the exact same reason as Tony Hawk 2: manuals. You can now combo an entire level together through a series of tricks, something the game often challenges you to do, something that just grows more challenging and more rewarding as time goes by.
Whatever you feel about endless runners, it's important to consider what's good about these games. OlliOlli isn't an endless runner, but it's a game of a similar breed. Perhaps something more akin to Guitar Hero is more your speed? They all tap into one thing: the thrill of execution, of knowing your hands on the controller are getting you through this challenge, getting better the further you go. It's what makes events like EVO, AGDQ, or The International so fun to watch: games being executed excellently. Watching someone know how to use a controller and make the game perform exactly how they want.
You and I? We're not speedrunners. We're not world class players who are on their way to winning jackpot sums of money. But I feel like OlliOlli and games like this are the closest average gamers like you and I are going to get to knowing that sublime feeling those people get on the world stage. I don't have the skills to beat Duke Nukem 3D in 25 minutes. But I can get through the latter levels of OlliOlli 2 without breaking my combo AND putting in a revert manual and grind switch, and that feels excellent to me.
Your main goals in each level are to a) complete it and b) finish the 5 objectives, and this is where OlliOlli 2 starts to run into the same issue that plagued the original: our hands can only do so much, and so can the sensitivity of an analog stick. At some point, asking for specific tricks with hyper precise inputs just winds up blocking progress, the difficulty of those inputs gate your progress. You don't know what to be more upset about: the controller not reading what you think you're putting in, yourself for not putting it in right, or the game for even asking for something so precise. It's a lot to ask that I'm able to put in a correct half- or full-circle motion and get this trick down, and it's even worse when it asks you to put it into a full-level combo. In the end with challenges like this you feel more like you get it by luck than by skill.
However, I do also appreciate the game's switching from just a generic background to taking you through a bunch of movie sets. It doesn't make a difference to the gameplay – you still grind and flip and all that – but it brings a nice change of venue. Does it make sense you're skating through an Aztec temple? No. But does it have to?
After five years, a wealth of console ports, and a 2015 sequel, OlliOlli is back, and it's bringing its zany, high-octane action to the Nintendo Switch in the form of OlliOlli: Switch Stance. Aside from its wonderfully punny title, Switch Stance – published by Gambitious – bundles both OlliOlli and OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood into one convenient, consumer-friendly package.
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood was a great surprise for me. It has the nice touch of being difficult but not absurdly hard. It gives you the tools and skills to be the sickest skateboarder you never were. The best real world comparison would be those little skateboards you could buy for your hands. You can go big and all out for the greatest trick ever, without the worry of ending up in the hospital.
OlliOlli ultimately provided me a solid five hours of fun and frustration in equal measure.

Talks: Rhiannon Adam & Amak Mahmoodian at The School of Miniclick – Sun 19th June
For one long weekend this June, from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th, Miniclick are taking over the Eranda Studio at The Photographers' Gallery, turning the space into a secondary school of photography. The faculty at The School of Miniclick will present their curriculum – a series of talks, workshops, fun and games from a wide range of guest teachers, including David Fathi, Lumine's Lab, Amak Mahmoodian, Rhiannon Adam, Kevin Meredith and many more.
You can read all about it here.
Our Geography Department have been working on a couple of events. The first is a growing photo map of London called GeoClick that we'll be creating over the course of the weekend at The Photographer's Gallery and we need YOUR work for, and the second is our Field Trip: talks from two photographers whose work focuses on travel and journeys with Amak Mahmoodian and Rhiannon Adam. You can read more about Geoclick at this link.
Sun June 19th, 2016 – 4pm
The Eranda Studio at The Photographers' Gallery, London
Amak Mahmoodian
"My name in Amak , and I was born in Shiraz (Iran), started university in Tehran and finished it in UK. My photography is inspired by questions on my own identity. My work represents something personal but it pertains to a general issue in Iran.
Using a structure that evokes the classic Middle Eastern collection oriental stories, my work explores the subtleties of specific codes of conduct that influence a person's relationships, sense of self and identity."
Amak will also be launching her new book, Shenasnameh after the talk.
www.amakmahmoodian.co.uk
Rhiannon Adam
Rhiannon Adam is a London based photographer specialising in instant photography, her passion since the age of 14. Rhiannon's work is primarily concerned with time, uniqueness, and place told though the degradation and physicality of expired films.
Her work has been published internationally – including on the BBC, in Le Monde, New York Times, Vice, Le Cool, It's Nice That, COLORS, and Dazed and Confused. Her first book, Dreamlands Wastelands, was published by Jane and Jeremy in 2014.
As well as her own work, Rhiannon freelances as a photographic producer and publishes photography books under the name Lost Cat. The first title, Kevin Griffin's "Omey Island: Last Man Standing" was released in 2013. Rhiannon also curates exhibitions, and collaborates with artists wishing to develop their projects for exhibition. Previous curated exhibitions include Laura Pannack's Young British Naturists, Kevin Griffin's Omey Island, and Robert Wilson's Helmand Return.
In 2015, with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign and the Journey of a Lifetime grant from the BBC and Royal Geographical Society, she was able to travel to remote Pitcairn Island, Britain's last remaining overseas territory in the Pacific, to create a body of work exploring the fragility of this unique place and its people. Home to just 42 residents, it is officially the worl's least populous country. Pitcairn is also one of the world's most difficult places to reach, and the people are notoriously unwelcoming to outsiders following the sexual abuse trials that took place on the island a decade ago. Rhiannon lived on Pitcairn for 3 months in 2015, and created a Radio documentary for BBC Radio 4 (available on iPlayer here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06j144b) Rhiannon's Pitcairn pictures have not yet been shown to the public, so this is a first glimpse at the project.
After many years of leading instant photography workshops, Rhiannon's guide to creative techniques with instant photography will be published by Thames and Hudson in 2017.
Rhiannon was born in Co. Cork, Ireland. She was educated at Central Saint Martins college of Art and Design (London), and at the University of Cambridge.

Most crises are followed by a bunch of people proclaiming that they didn't know about it. Of course they would have saved the situation if they just had known. Well, in some cases this might be true. In some it might not.
Get the information you didn't know - instead of simulating knowledge.
Ask someone, read, think - just find out how you can get the answer easily. Delete the phrase "I don't know" from your brain and replace it by inquisitiveness.
And as a nice side effect you will win the next quiz show...!

Home » Wave Length
The horizontal distance between similar points on two successive waves measured perpendicularly to the crest.
Soil Classification (Size)
An arbitrary division of a continuous scale of grain sizes such that each scale unit or grade may serve as a convenient class interval for conducting the analysis or for expressing the results of an analysis.
Sediment Transport
The main agencies by which sedimentary materials are moved are: gravity (gravity transport); running water (rivers and streams); ice (glaciers); wind; the sea (currents and longshore drift). Running water and wind are the most widespread transporting agents. In both cases, three mechanisms operate, although the particle size of the transported material involved is very different, owing to the differences in density and viscosity of air and water. The three processes are: rolling or traction, in which the particle moves along the bed but is too heavy to be lifted from it; saltation; and suspension, in which particles remain permanently above the bed, sustained there by the turbulent flow of the air or water.
The number of grams of salt per thousand grams of sea water, usually expressed in parts per thousand.
The living organisms and the nonliving environment interacting in a given area, encompassing the relationships between biological, geochemical, and geophysical systems.
A community or several communities of organisms together with their physical environment. A conceptual view of interaction within and independence among species and communities emphasizing the nature of the flow of material and energy among these parts and the feedback loops from one part to another.
Salinity Gradient
Change in salinity which can be expressed in parts per thousand per foot.
Inshore (zone)
In beach terminology, the zone of variable width extending from the low water line through the breaker zone.
