It is true that in the past, I, miserable and wretched, have fallen into sin because I did not have recourse to you. But I know that with your help I shall be able to overcome myself. I know, too, that you will help me, if I commend myself to you. But I fear that in the occasions of sin, I may neglect to call upon you and thus run the risk of being lost.
This grace, then, I seek of you; for this I implore you as much as I know how and as much as I can: that in all the attacks of hell I may ever have recourse to you and say to you: "0 Mary, help me. O Mother of Perpetual Help, do not let me lose my God."
Mother of Perpetual Help, aid me ever to call upon your powerful name, since your name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that your name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, do not delay in coming to help me when I call upon you, for in all the temptations that trouble me, in all the needs of my life, I will ever call upon you, repeating: "Mary, Mary."
What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what consolation fills my soul at the sound of your name, at the very thought of you!
I give thanks to our Lord, Who for my sake has given you a name so sweet, so lovable, and so mighty. But I am not content only to speak your name. I want that love to remind me always to call you Mother of Perpetual Help.
Mother of Perpetual Help, you are the dispenser of every grace that God grants us in our misery. For this reason he has made you so powerful, so rich and so kind that you might help us in our needs You are the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners, if they but come to you. Come to my aid, for I commend myself to you.
In your hands I place my eternal salvation; to you I entrust my soul. Count me among your most faithful servants. Take me under your protection; that is enough for me. If you protect me, I shall fear nothing. I shall not fear my sins, because you will obtain for me their pardon and remission. Neither shall I fear the evil spirits, because you are mightier than the powers of hell.
I fear only that through my own negligence I may forget to recommend myself to you and so lose my soul. My dear lady, obtain for me the forgiveness of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance and the grace to have recourse in you at all times, Mother of Perpetual Help.

To clean our oceans, fight land pollution
13 August 2019 | by Françoise Jacob
Global efforts have focused on cleaning the world's oceans. To ensure real, long-term impact, we must tackle the problem of marine litter at its source.
This Insights article was originally published in Le Soir.
We continue to treat oceans, rivers, streams and other water resources as little more than a dumping ground for our waste.
We think there's plenty of room for our trash. We assume that we can continue to increase our consumption and simply dump the rapidly rising amount of excess waste without consequences. But we simply can't.
The effect of water pollution is far-reaching. Polluted marine waters threaten the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on the world's oceans for their jobs. Polluted freshwater affects human health and forces people to look for new, unpolluted sources of food. The struggle to find clean water – and the fight to hold on to such a precious, dwindling resource – can ultimately threaten peace.
The fight against water pollution must become a top priority for all of us. And to do that, we can't just focus on cleaning. We must stop the pollution at its source: On land.
Ocean pollution and plastic
Plastic comprises up to 80 per cent of all ocean litter. By one estimate, the world's oceans hold more than 150 million tonnes of plastics – nearly 15 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower.
Land-based trash often ends up in our streams, rivers and lakes – and ultimately the world's oceans. About 80 per cent of the pollution found in marine environments comes from land-based activities. It's critical to stop more trash from flowing into oceans.
Improper waste management is not just a development issue. It's a global threat that goes hand-in-hand with protecting the environment.
In many countries, waste management systems still don't function properly. Trash is simply dumped in forests, on unused land or in streams and lagoons. Sometimes trash ends up in basic dumpsites and poorly designed landfills, where it decomposes and leaks liquids into the ground and groundwater. Winds, rain and river currents transport trash further into oceans.
An integrated waste management system is the best way to keep land-based waste from entering waterways in the first place. Although seemingly simple and straightforward, this approach requires identifying the most adequate technological, institutional and financial models, adapted to local contexts.
This means taking into account the type and volume of waste, existing and potential financial sources for supporting the services, as well as cultural and environmental considerations. All individual, community and institutional stakeholders must be actively involved in the process, to ensure that the solution meets local needs, is adequately financed and is sustainable in the long term.
Cleaning up for good
Kattankudy in the Batticaloa District of Sri Lanka faced overwhelming amounts of garbage and no place to dispose of it. With EU funding, UNOPS is implementing a sustainable waste management programme benefitting 80,000 residents.
In Sri Lanka, for example, coastal areas, beaches and lagoons are particularly vulnerable to inland trash ending up on the country's shores and trash returning from the sea. Plastic debris and discarded fishing nets choke coral reefs and mangrove areas. Garbage blocks drains, contributing to increased urban flooding during monsoon season. Livestock and other animals ingest various types of garbage, including plastics that block their digestive systems, causing them to slowly starve to death.
UNOPS – in partnership with the European Union – worked with communities, local authorities and national authorities in Sri Lanka to develop sustainable waste disposal solutions that wouldn't harm the environment.
Responsibility for each phase of waste management (collecting, transporting, sorting, recycling, composting, waste-to-energy production and disposal) was carefully allocated to relevant stakeholders. Truck collection routes and maintenance schedules were developed, staffing needs were planned, load impact on roads was analyzed and operation plans for landfills were formulated.
We partnered with a mobile service provider to establish a tracking system, monitor the waste collection fleet and improve the overall efficiency of the collection process. Extensive work on sewerage and drainage networks complemented the project.
Efforts like the ones implemented in Sri Lanka need to be encouraged and sustained around the world until they are solidly rooted in the routine of institutions, communities and people – to ensure our world is a healthier and cleaner place to live for the generations to come.

With friendly, expert dental care for you and your family.
Drs. Catherine Wong and John Smolnicky welcome you and your family to Heritage Lake Dental, with convenient locations serving Valparaiso, Merrillville, and the surrounding Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana communities. At our practice, you can expect quality, conservative dentistry, including general oral exams, teeth cleanings, composite fillings, crowns, veneers, root canal therapy, TMJ diagnosis, and dental implant restorations. Our dentists are warm, friendly, compassionate, and skilled — caring professionals who are great listeners and have your and your family's best interests in mind.
We know that searching for a family dentist you can trust can be difficult, and we hope to make your selection easier by explaining our unique, whole-body approach to family dentistry.
Your mouth is part of a complex biological system that influences the health of the rest of your body. For example, the infection that causes gum disease can lead to a higher risk of stroke and heart disease.
Your body's internal systems are intertwined in intricate ways, which is why it's so important to take a whole-body approach to family dentistry. In short, family dentistry is about more than just taking care of a patient's teeth.
At Heritage Lake Dental, we also believe that great oral health can only be achieved if you're giving your body the right ingredients to heal and repair itself. Next time you visit our practice, ask about the line of nutraceuticals we recommend and hear what they can do for your oral and total body health.
bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
any signs of oral cancer.
A gum disease evaluation, wherein the dentist will check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
An examination of existing restorations, including current fillings and crowns.
the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums and is the start of periodontal disease.
Teeth polishing, to remove stains and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.
Your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend necessary x-rays based on your medical and dental history, dental exam, signs and symptoms, age consideration, and risk for disease. For new patients, we recommend a full-mouth series of dental X-rays. A full series is usually good for three to five years. Bite-wing X-rays (X-rays of top and bottom teeth biting together) are taken at check-up visits and are recommended once or twice a year to detect any new dental problems.
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Detecting and treating dental problems at an early stage can save you time, money and unnecessary discomfort. X-rays may reveal abcesses or cysts, bone loss, cancerous or non-cancerous tumors, decay between the teeth, developmental abnormalities, poor tooth and root positions, and problems inside a tooth or below the gum line.
Dental X-rays produce a low level of radiation and are considered safe. Dentists take necessary precautions to limit the patient's exposure to radiation when taking dental X-rays. These precautions include using lead apron shields to protect the body and modern, fast film that cuts down the exposure time of each X-ray.
A beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime is our ultimate goal when treating our family dentistry patients. Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving that goal, including: eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly using the various dental aids that help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease.
Electric toothbrushes are generally recommended by dentists because they are much more effective than manual brushes. The vibrating or rotary motion helps to easily dislodge plaque and remove food particles from around the gums and teeth. The same results can be obtained using a manual brush, but much more effort is needed to do so. If you choose to use a manual toothbrush, they should be replaced every three months because worn bristles become ineffective over time. Soft bristle toothbrushes are far less damaging to gum tissue than the medium and hard bristle varieties.
Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone. Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss.
Take 12-16 inches of dental floss and wrap it around your middle fingers,leaving about 2 inches of floss between the hands.
It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing and after meals if you are unable to brush. If you are using an over-the-counter product for rinsing, it's a good idea to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist on its suitability for you. There are two basic types of mouth rinse available: cosmetic rinses which are sold over the counter and temporarily suppress bad breath, and therapeutic rinses which may or may not require a prescription. Most dentists are skeptical about the benefits of cosmetic rinses because several studies have shown that their effectiveness against plaque is minimal. Therapeutic rinses however, are regulated by the FDA and contain active ingredients that can help reduce bad breath, plaque, and cavities.
For more information about our practice, dental treatment options, payment options, or any of the services we provide, call our Valparaiso office at 219-464-1141 or our Merrillville office at 219-769-8788. We look forward to serving your dental care needs.
With late afternoon and early evening hours, we can work with your busy schedule.

NEFSC Surveys Join Global Alliance
CPR of a Different Sort
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) started continuous plankton recorder or CPR surveys in the early 1970s when they took over operations on a route across the Gulf of Maine from the predecessor to SAHFOS, the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science. This change in operation was enabled by a 1972 Aide-Memoire between the U.S. and the U.K. Natural Environment Research Council.
Currently the NEFSC's Oceanography Branch conducts two monthly continuous plankton recorder transects off the east coast of the US, one across the Gulf of Maine and the other across the Mid-Atlantic Bight. It is the second longest running CPR program, after that of SAHFOS, and the longest running plankton time-series in the Northwest Atlantic.
Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP) transect surveys have been conducted monthly aboard cooperating commercial vessels during their routine transits across the Gulf of Maine since 1961 (see map), and from New York towards Bermuda across the Mid-Atlantic Bight since 1971.
The vessel currently used on the Gulf of Maine route is the 416-foot M/V Reykjafoss, made available for oceanographic research by EIMSKIP. The Icelandic company operates four shipping routes in the North Atlantic and tows CPRs for both SAHFOS and NEFSC. Sampling on the Mid-Atlantic Bight route is conducted from the 389-foot M/V Oleander operated by Bermuda Container Line between Hamilton, Bermuda and New York (via Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal in New Jersey).
The Gulf of Maine transect was originally established in 1961 by the Oceanographic Laboratory at Edinburgh, Scotland. Responsibility for operating the route between Boston, Mass. and Halifax, Nova Scotia, about 425 kilometers (265 miles), was later transferred to NOAA and NEFSC in 1974. Between 1974 and October 2011, NEFSC conducted 421 CPR tows on the Gulf of Maine transect.
Chris Melrose, a research oceanographer at NEFSC's Narragansett, R.I. , Laboratory and head of the Center's long-term SOOP, knows firsthand what is involved, having sailed several times as a rider on the New York to Bermuda route, most recently in November 2011. Tows are usually put in the water right after the ship leaves port and extend about 450-500 km (roughly 280-310 miles) from New York off the edge of the Continental Shelf and just past the Gulf Stream. In 2011 a second tow was added by the Oceanography Branch where the first left off to extend the survey all the way to Bermuda across the Sargasso Sea.
"I'm new to this project and am learning a lot from colleagues around the world, many of whom have been involved in CPR surveys and plankton research for decades," Melrose said. "It is great to be a part of a global scientific effort like GACS, and to be able to collaborate with the diverse group of people and organizations that worked together to make GACS happen."
The collaboration and cooperation of the shipping companies and the vessel crews has been another key to the success of the Ship of Opportunity Program, given the limited resources available to conduct research at sea aboard dedicated scientific vessels and especially for consistent monthly time-series spanning decades along the same routes.
Basic equipment, maintenance and ship rider training are provided by NEFSC. Daniel E. Smith of the Narragansett Laboratory has been transporting riders and equipment to vessels and working with the ship's crews since the beginning of NEFSC's CPR program. Smith also maintains all of the program's CPR equipment and makes sure the samples get to the lab for analysis each month.
"These CPR studies have become part of a broader ship of opportunity (SOOP) program in NOAA," Melrose said. "We collect a variety of oceanographic and environmental data along the established track lines and maintain equipment on the vessels, some of it on behalf of NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami. In addition to the CPR tows, the time series includes XBT (expendable bathythermograph, which measures temperature versus depth) casts, thermosalinograph (TSG, which measure sea surface temperature and salinity), and dissolved carbon dioxide for ocean acidification studies. The New York to Bermuda route also includes an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) operated by the University of Rhode Island and Stony Brook University.
The CPR surveys supplement other oceanographic sampling efforts, which can be more intensive but less frequent, by research vessels dedicated to a specific program or project, including NOAA ships and those operated by other agencies and organizations. NEFSC, for example, has conducted a long-term ecosystem monitoring program in the Northwest Atlantic called EcoMon. In 2010 NASA and Old Dominion University joined with NEFSC to measure carbon distributions and primary productivity in the Northwest Atlantic to help scientists worldwide determine the impacts of a changing climate on ocean biology and biogeochemistry. The study, Climate Variability on the East Coast (CliVEC), will also help validate ocean color satellite measurements and refine biogeochemistry models of ocean processes.
NOAA Fisheries Service is dedicated to protecting and preserving our nation's living marine resources and their habitat through scientific research, management and enforcement. NOAA Fisheries Service provides effective stewardship of these resources for the benefit of the nation, supporting coastal communities that depend upon them, and helping to provide safe and healthy seafood to consumers and recreational opportunities for the American public.

Two London clubs who could be this seasons surprise package in the Premier League
Tom Smith 28 July 2021
The 2021/22 Premier League campaign is just around the corner and we've picked two London clubs who could be this campaign's surprise package.
The title is expected to once again be contested by defending champions Manchester City and Liverpool while Chelsea and Manchester United are also tipped to put-in solid challenges at the top of the table. Most online casinos and bookmakers have the quartet as the heavy favourites to finish in the top four so it's going to be difficult to see any other team breaking into the Champions League qualification spots.
Arsenal to surprise people
Arsenal used to be top four regulars but they've fallen away in recent years and have finished eighth in the last two seasons. However, we think Mikel Arteta's men may surprise a few people this coming campaign.
The Gunners were the second best team in the league during the final 27 games of last season so there is clear progress being made under Arteta. The Spaniard has signed left-back Nuno Tavares and midfielder Albert Lokonga while Ben White is set to join in a big money deal from Brighton. Arsenal are also expected to sign a No.10 with James Maddison heavily linked with Chelsea's Tammy Abraham could be brought in to offer another threat in attack so Arteta is certainly building a decent squad in north London.
They are unlikely to challenge for the top two or three positions, and the casino real money lines have Arsenal at huge 40/1 odds just to make the top four with many pundits backing them to finish outside the to six again. However, they should be far more solid this season and we think they may surprise a few people. If they can sign Maddison and Abraham as well as replacing Granit Xhaka with a top class midfielder, then fourth or fifth could be a realistic aim.
Vieira building at Palace
After years of consistent finishes in the Premier League under Roy Hodgson, a new era has been ushered in at Palace after the great man left the club this summer.
Patrick Vieira's appointment at Crystal Palace raised a few eyebrows but the Frenchman has been quietly building an impressive squad at Selhurst Park. Highly-rated defender Marc Geuhi has arrived from Chelsea in a £20m deal while attacking midfielder Michael Olise has been signed from Reading. Both players should be excellent additions and there is more to come from the ambitious Londoners.
Wilfried Zaha will once again be the creative spark going forward and Palace have always be tough to beat in front of the passionate home support so they could surprise a few people next season. If some of the bigger clubs have poor seasons like last year, Palace could be a good outside bet to break into the top six.

Eva Peron - powerful women who were ahead of their time interest me. She also had an amazing sense of style.
1. Visiting French and Italian wine regions. The experience involves a bike, a loaf of bread, a wheel of cheese and a bottle of wine.
3. Designing and building my dream home on a country estate where I can foster & care for homeless animals.
The day I win my Academy Award.
I have had many great days, marriage, births...but I'm going to keep this light and say my favourite day was just a few months ago. It was a group of days actually. My husband surprised me with a trip to Philadelphia, home of my beloved Eagles football team. He made it all so special and of course being at the game itself was out of this world. I actually said to him, "I'm sure I've been this happy before but right now, I can't remember when."
My proudest accomplishment is and always will be my daughters. At 13 and 15 they are growing into incredible women. They are each unique, so different from each other in personality. I am in awe that I helped create these amazing creatures. Ava and Audrey teach me new lessons every day. I love them fiercely.
The Hotel Eldorado. I love summer meals lakeside, on the dock; it's a true reflection of Okanagan Life.
Wine Festival (need I say more?).
We sell amazing women's fashions at affordable prices.
To show women they can be fashionable at any age. Women should know you don't have to spend a fortune on designer clothing to look and feel great.
To convince women it is ok to be a bit daring when it comes to fashion, it's clothing, it should reflect your personality, don't be afraid to shine!
In five years I would like Influence to be the first place women think of when they need that perfect outfit for any occasion.
1- We provide exceptional customer service. I'm very proud of my team.
2- We offer a wide range of fashion options for women of all ages.
3- We treat our team like family. When employees feel valued they put their best foot forward.
We support a number of local charities throughout the year. We also make Okanagan women look and feel amazing!
I would love for them to be business/retail experts. I would pick their brains about the pros and cons of expansion. Are two stores better than one? How about three or four? What are the best and most effective ways to create brand recognition? I would also ask them if they'd like to invest in an Influence expansion.
The mentality that you have to go to Vancouver to shop. If every woman spent a portion of their shopping dollars locally think how healthy the Okanagan market would be. I am saddened every time a small store closes its doors. It was somebody's dream. We need to support local businesses; it's what ultimately drives our economy.
I love the collective energy in Kelowna. People love living here and it shows. The beauty of nature that surrounds us attracts so many different people. I feel like we are evolving and I'm so excited about the growth that's happening and the leadership that's pushing us forward.
I stumbled into the retail field. I came to Kelowna when I was 20 years old. I spent 10 years with CHBC/Global Okanagan as a News Anchor/Reporter. After having children I wanted a more flexible work schedule and so left the news business and 'bought' myself a job in retail. That was in 2006. It's been such fun watching Influence grow up. I did return to Global in 2011 and managed to juggle that and the store for a few years, but ultimately my heart is with Influence and my family. I still do some contract work for the TV station but can be found most days on the retail floor at Influence in Orchard Park Mall. What a great way to bring awareness to local businesses and the people behind them. Thank you for including me.

Recommended. By Jules Verne. From the "father of science fiction," his third novel. Wonderfully illustrated by the excellent Gerald McCann, I can still distinctly remember being fascinated by this incredible story when I first read it in the early 1960s. Also here's the iconic cover, by an unknown artist, that captured CI reader's imaginations.

From Floor Trends Magazine-- The International Surface Event (TISE) was held in its familiar home of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, but with the 350,000 square-foot expansion of the convention center TISE for the first time showcased the industry's latest products all on one floor.
To tackle the expansive show floor, appointments and everything else in between, retailer David Arita, president of American Carpet One in Honolulu, brought a team of five employees to Surfaces to see what is trending in the industry and reconnect with industry partners along the way.
For Arita, attending the show is a fun opportunity to meet with the suppliers he enjoys doing business with—some for over 40 years. A World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) Gold Standard Award recipient for excellence in retailing, Arita and the American Carpet One staff know first-hand the importance of offering a wide variety of products to meet consumers' demands and needs.
"We are always looking for new products, including new products from our present manufacturers and maybe finding new suppliers and manufacturers to work with," said Arita.
In addition to TISE veterans, this year's show welcomed many first-time attendees, as well as some who had taken a hiatus.
"I haven't been to Surfaces in years," admitted Shelly Versteeg-Smit of Fishtrap Creek Interiors in Lynden, Wash. For Versteeg-Smit, her absence from the show, like many others, was due greatly to 2008's economic crisis, which slowed down business for several industries.
But as the economy continues on a steady uphill climb, service providers are once again in demand and design industry professionals like Versteeg-Smit are eager to hit the ground running and get back to business as usual. "Now it's time to get back with it, and see what's happening in the industry for the store," she said.
Accompanying Versteeg-Smit was interior designer and first-time attendee Kathy Jansen, also from Lynden, Wash. For Jansen, attending Surfaces provided the opportunity to see what's trending in the industry. However, she wished there were more tile and stone products on display.
Be it vinyl, tile or stone, innovation was not lacking at booths as manufacturers showcased their products in eye-catching, elaborate ways. From aerial acrobatics and string quartets, to a Great Dane and a magician, manufacturers pulled out all the stops to display their products in unforgettable ways befitting of the Vegas location.
A regular attendee, Thomas and her team enjoy attending Surfaces to connect with manufacturers and distributors outside of an everyday setting—and to make sure Corona is on the right track with the products it carries.
"Seeing new products laid out in the booths and the excitement the booths create gives us confidence about the products we carry," she said.
There was no shortage of buzz and excitement at this year's show; excitement about what's happening in the industry and excitement about what's to come.

BRITISH SCHOLARSHIP TRUST
The British Scholarship Trust offers funding for from 1 to 3 months. Applicants should be registered for a Masters or Doctorate in their home country and must be under 30 years of age on 30th September of the year for which they are applying.
The grant for the current year is £900 per month for universities outside London and £1000 for institutions in London, where living costs are higher. The grant is intended to cover living expenses. The grants are modest but students can be expected to live reasonably comfortably on the grant. Tuition fees are NOT covered but some other fees charged by the host institution (bench fees, library use, etc.) may be met by the Trust. Travel expenses to and from the host institution are covered by the candidates themselves or by their home institutions.
Main Research Grants
These grants are for students engaged on research projects in their home countries who wish to spend a period of time at a UK university with expertise in their area of interest. This may involve being attached to a group carrying out research in that area. Applicants are asked to make contact with the main researcher at that university. Their teachers at their home university may be able to offer assistance and advice in facilitating these contacts.
Library grants
These grants are for a visit of 4 weeks only, and are intended to support candidates whose home institutions may not have the library resources needed for the student's research. UK university libraries do not normally charge for visiting students, but visitors cannot borrow books.
"I was a research fellow at the Doctoral School for Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow. During my stay there, I have improved my programming skills, and also I have learned a lot from my mentor Brian Barrett. I am very grateful for this opportunity because I have improved my doctoral thesis during my stay in the UK, and I met a lot of new people with whom I am still in touch."

"I would like to express my gratitude to the British Scholarship Trust for the unique opportunity I had. The students at our Department in Tuzla will also benefit as I shall be able to pass on my newly-acquired knowledge to them. Establishing contacts with esteemed colleagues from other parts of Europe is of invaluable benefit for me personally as well."

Art Comes First and Fred Perry recently linked up again for a 2017 spring/summer collection. In their second season of collaboration, the two labels drew from Rudeboy styling which originated from 1960s Jamaican street culture. The collection mixes modern tailoring and classic sharp details while building upon Fred Perry's signature looks. With the collection, Art Comes First and Fred Perry aims to look back at tradition and heritage and reimagine it for the present and future. Fred Perry x Art Comes First 2017 spring/summer collection will be available online and at select stockist February 4. Directed by Liam Saint Pierre at My Accomplice.


Opposition councillors have warned Camden Council against any plans to save money by changing residents' rubbish collection from weekly to fortnightly, claiming it will lead to more urban foxes, pigeons and rats on the streets.
Conservative members urged the Labour-led council on Monday to back a motion that would protect weekly collections of general refuse from a proposed £3million cut to the borough's street cleaning and waste collection service.
The motion was, however, dismissed by the Labour-led administration.
Cllr Roger Robinson, the Labour representative for St Pancras and Somers Town, suggested a fortnightly collection was necessary to save money and increase recycling rates.
He said: "Thanks to this government, we've had to face a public funding cut of £70million.
Further work is expected to take place on how the £3million cuts will be carried out.
In March 2012, Haringey saw its own general refuse collection go from weekly to fortnightly.
Recycling refuse is still collected once a week and since the changes the council says residents' recycling rates have risen "significantly". It has, however, seen many residents complain of overflowing bins cluttering the streets and being infested with maggots.


SERP stands for search engine results page that shows the best webpages in Google for any keyword. With SERP tracking, you enter your website URL and target keyword to track which position your webpage shows up (#1, #2, etc).
2 What is SERP tracking?
SerpBook is my personal favorite bulk serp check tool that tracks well over 5,000 keywords. Read my Serpbook review for more details.
WhatsMySerp is a free bulk serp checker that tracks up to 300 keywords in Google only. Read my WhatsMySerp Review for more details.
Serplab is a free bulk serp checker that tracks hundreds of keywords in Google only.
Serpfox is a paid bulk serp checker that tracks up to 5,000 keywords. Read my Serpfox review for more details.
Serpbuddy is a paid bulk serp checker that tracks up to 1,500 keywords.
The 3 big major SERPs are Google, Yahoo! and Bing. Google is the largest search engine in the world and most SEO's and business owners focus their efforts on obtaining page 1 and #1 Google rankings.
If you're a small business owner, then you need to check and track keywords for your own business websites. The perfect tool for you is WhatsMySerp. It allows you to track a large amount of keywords for free. Google search engine is only supported but that's probably all you need.
If you need a good tool and don't have much money to spend, then I recommend any of the free alternatives such as SerpLab or WhatsmySerp. Each of these are good Google site ranking checker options.
Serpbook is the best bulk SERP rank checker and saves you hours of time automated serp checking and cool tracking features like PDF/Excel reporting, real time updates and daily, weekly and monthly serp changes.
If you plan to improve your Google rankings, then you need to check your SERP position for each keyword and track your Google SERP using automated tools. You could check your keyword position manually but this is time consuming and nearly impossible if you have a big list of keywords to monitor. If you own an SEO firm, then it's very unprofessional and it will cost you business and clients.

Q: Disk Usage in kubernetes pod I am trying to debug the storage usage in my kubernetes pod. I have seen the pod is evicted because of Disk Pressure.  When i login to running pod, the see the following

As we can see 21G is consumed, but when i try to run du -sh it just returns 227M. I would like to find out who(which directory) is consuming the space

A: According to the docs Node Conditions, DiskPressure has to do with conditions on the node causing kubelet to evict the pod. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the pod that caused the conditions.

DiskPressure
Available disk space and inodes on either the node's root filesystem
  or image filesystem has satisfied an eviction threshold

You may want to investigate what's happening on the node instead.

A: Looks like the process 1142 is still running and holding file descriptors and/or perhaps some space (You may have other processes and other file descriptors too not being released) Is it the kubelet?. To alleviate the problem you can verify that it's running and then kill it:
$ ps -Af | grep 1142
$ kill -9 1142

P.D. You need to provide more information about the processes and what's running on that node.

John Janick took over for Jimmy Iovine as CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records in 2014. Iovine hand picked Janick as his successor, and Janick then spent months learning the business from the music legend.
Janick launched himself into the music industry when he started a record company out of his college dorm room called Fueled by Ramen. Its artists included Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy and eventually Panic! at the Disco and Paramore.
As the CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, Janick thinks a lot about music streaming and how it'll keep changing the industry, finding new ways for his artists to innovate. Janick talked to Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal about that and the soundtrack to "La La Land," nominated for an Academy Award. Below is an edited version of their conversation.
Kai Ryssdal: You've been in music a long time. Like back to college days. Yes? Tell me about Fueled by Ramen, that first label.
John Janick: I started my first label in high school when I was 17 because I just love music. So I started a label, and I put out one release. And then, going into college, I met somebody who was in a band that I was a fan of and decided to start Fueled by Ramen. So I did that for 16 years prior to coming to Interscope.
Ryssdal: How do you listen to music today? I imagine you're drowning in music.
Janick: I listen to it. I listen just whenever I can find free time. I mean, I constantly listen; whether I'm in my car or working out, I love it. I mean, I think that if I made it feel like it's work, then I don't think I'd be very good at it. So I just listen to all different types of music, sometimes I listen to things that aren't our own, and just do it because I love it.
Ryssdal: How did you get the gig at Interscope? What, four years ago now, right?
Janick: Yeah. I had met Jimmy Iovine, who started Interscope. And I was coming in to meet him just to talk about music, and he'd shown me the Beats headphones. And I didn't understand what he was doing.
Ryssdal: You know a lot of people had the same outlook.
Janick: Yes. Exactly. So I just kept in touch with them a little bit. And one day, Jimmy called me up and said, "I need somebody to run the company. You're going to have the keys to the car. It's going to be you or your company. I'm going to be here, and I'll help you through everything." Yeah. And I was taken aback. I said, "With all due respect...." People say things like that all the time, you know? But then I spent the next nine months with him, and not many people knew about this, but he wanted to launch a streaming company, and I thought it was brilliant.
Ryssdal: What do you make of where music is today with trying to figure out the streaming thing? I mean, Chance the Rapper won a Grammy the other day without ever selling a physical record or signing or anything. It's a tricky spot for you, I imagine.
Janick: Right, you know when I started my label Fueled by Ramen, it was a time where the barriers of entry were coming down. You didn't you have to put CDs in stores. You didn't have to get on MTV. But we were able to take advantage of what was happening early on in MP3.com and then into Friendster and MySpace and then into YouTube.
Ryssdal: So, it's funny, because you're not that old. I mean, you know, I'm just — that goes back quite a ways.
Janick: Yeah. You know, I've been doing this a long time. I started in '96.
Ryssdal: So what's the nut you have to crack now?
Janick: I think the world of music is changing every day. Obviously streaming is taking hold. But it's still in its infancy stages.
Ryssdal: Really? Because it seems like it's been around for such a long time.
Janick: Yeah. I mean us living in L.A. and probably in major cities— you know, I mean, I've been with my wife since I was 20 years old. I've tried to explain streaming to her and you know, probably just a year ago. You know, we're sitting in a car. My son, he's 4 at the time, says, "Daddy, I want to hear this song" and you know, I just pull it up and play it. My wife is sitting in the car and says, "Oh, you can just do that, you just open something, you click a button," and I was like, "Yeah, I've been telling you this for three years." But I think that's really the word.
Ryssdal: Talk to me for a second about the decision to release the "La La Land" soundtrack and how you came to that.
Ryssdal: It stands to reason, because this is true in all enterprises, but hearing you tell me that story makes it even more clear that, especially in this business, it's who you know.
Janick: Exactly. You know, you bump into things which is interesting, because when I was a guy in Florida starting a record label, I knew nobody. I had no mentors, no nothing, and it was just me kind of just trying to figure it out. Now, I have all this access. I didn't believe in luck before. Now I know, it's a lot of hard work, and then there's also positioning yourself.
Ryssdal: But the other thing is, you are one of the people now who people want to bump into, right?
Janick: Yeah, yeah. I guess.
Janick: Yeah, totally. You know, I never really look at it that way, but whenever I'm walking into an event, like, "Am I going to know somebody?" And then, fortunately there's a lot of people there that we work with every day.
Ryssdal: In five years, what is Interscope, given the pace of change in music and audio.
Janick: I think the sky's the limit when you think about it the way that streaming is taking over. There's going to be so many more opportunities for people to discover new acts. I think that's exciting. But also, I think what we can do in entertainment now, between visual content, and you know, especially when we're working with artists like Selena or Lady Gaga, who was in "American Horror Story," and she's going to go do "A Star Is Born." Finding new ways to connect with audiences I think is going to be really interesting.
Ryssdal: John, thanks a lot.

We bought him a Dreamies mouse the other day and since then, all we've heard is the click-clack of the blasted thing in the kitchen where the cat is bouncing it off the walls. We took it away this morning because the sound was proving distracting whilst I was, how to put this delicately… checking Paul's oil. The cat has taken great umbrage and taken to dying at random opportunities all round the house – he came into the bathroom and collapsed (much like I do after Paul has been there), he died again on the television stand and then he chose to die once more in front of our lovely see-through toaster. You know, I don't know where he gets this dramatic side from. Don't worry though – he immediately springs back to life if he hears Paul straining to take the lid off the dry cat food box.
If you're wondering where we got the gorgeous see-through toaster from, it's right here. I know, I know.
Hasn't it been a lovely bank holiday? We had my family over for a BBQ yesterday. I didn't think my mother would catch but once we'd applied enough petrol, she was away (must have caught up with all the Jim Beam in her blood) Boom. No, despite both Paul and I absolutely hating having anyone in our house aside from ourselves – and even then that's sometimes more a chore than you'd expect – we gamely invited everyone over for food and drinks. With everyone arriving at 4, we realised at 2.30 that we had a) no meat b) no normal alcohol and c) no charcoal. No chance, you might think, but Paul leapt into his Smart car, broke both axles, gingerly got into my car and sped off to ASDA. £90 later, he returned. I mean for goodness sake, we have a freezer full of meat, a bookcase full of liquor and all manner of nonsense we could have burnt, but with nothing defrosted and no alcohol that you don't ordinarily stick a sprinkler and paper umbrella in, we had no choice.
It was lovely, though. My nephew in particular was in good form, not least because he's stopped bursting into racking sobs whenever he sees my face. We went through almost two years of bawling, screaming, red-faced anger before he finally mellowed. Now he's always laughing and chortling and although I still can't get past my phobia of being near children because they're a) so fragile and b) so loud, it was pleasant enough to see him (and all). In the one minute that I allowed him to sit next to me on the outside table he immediately tumbled backwards onto the brick patio and was saved from his brain being turned to scrambled egg only by the quick reactions of my sister's charming friend. Oops! Anyway, such a roaring success was it (no-one had the merry shites from undercooked meat, no family arguments erupted and no emergency services were called) that we've all agreed we must meet up and be eat together more often, which means I'll see them again in 2017 and that's that. Similarly, we've decided to go down to see Paul's parents next week, which I'm incredibly enthusiastic about.
We had a quieter day today, doing very little other than picking tomatoes, tidying up and breaking up the day with a visit to Boundary Mills. For those lucky enough not to know, Boundary Mills is a giant shop up near the coast that is advertised regularly on the TV up here with some loud nonsense and lots of smiling people milling about. I've managed to avoid it for thirty years but see, a friend from work recommended it so highly that I thought, why not.
Well, here's why not. It was what you'd get if you combined the waiting room at Dignitas with a village jumble sale. I've never seen so much tat and nonsense under one roof. What stressed me out more than anything was the total lack of a coherent theme – a Yankee Candle section sits next to a cookery book stand which sits next to towels which sits next to reduced skirts with a display of shortbread balanced on the top. Why? Who has ever clutched their heart in anguish and bemoaned the fact they can't buy their scented candles, valance sheets and tin openers under one roof? Paul took a cursory glance at the Yankee Candle section and informed me that they didn't have anything he didn't already have in a drawer at home. We pushed on at the speed of a melting ice-cap thanks to the bundles of tiny old ladies milling about sucking their teeth and complaining, then made hastily for the exit. I've never been so relieved to see Paul's matchbox excuse of a car.
I understand from their website that they actually organise bus tours for the old folk to come and have a day out – I don't know how they dare, to be honest – they're already close to the grave and the tedium would surely push them over. Well, honestly. It would be quicker and kinder to seal the doors, put a brick on the accelerator and let the bus drive into the sea.
Aside from that, it's been a perfectly pleasant weekend, and to celebrate, let's get to the tomato and ricotta toast.
I think Paul's actually got that tie, though god knows how I haven't managed to set it on fire yet.
Right, the recipe, which really doesn't need a recipe at all.
Easy! If you love tomatoes, do yourself a favour and keep them out of the fridge. Put them on a window sill to sit in the sun – it'll improve the flavour tenfold. Luckily, we've got more tomatoes than we know what to do with (and expect a few tomato recipes coming up) because we planted ten plants of the fuckers at the start of the year and they've all come good. BUGGER.

I have a quite a few home grown toms all waiting to be eaten. This breakfast treat will definitely be on the books this week. Thanks!
Please tell me where you get the see through toaster from!!!!
Hi James and Paul! I never usually comment on blogs (I'm far more of a lurker than a poster) but I just wanted to say how much I love your blog! Your posts are hilarious and your food always looks lovely (far better than mine ever looks, haha!) I'm starting back on Slimming World on 2nd September, and I've already been through and added some of your meals to my first 6 week meal plan.
Have you considered moon blush tomatoes (semi dried in the oven) keeps in the fridge for a week and can be preserved in (gasp)oil. Love you blog.
Not only have we considered them, we've done a recipe with them too! We love them! http://twochubbycubs.com/2015/04/13/chicken-orzo-and-tomato-risnotto/ thank you!
£135 for a toaster? Wow! It had better make the tea and mop the kitchen floor for that kind of price! Since starting SW our toaster has been consigned to the cupboard, as we're hardly eating any bread any more. I get my fibre from Scanbran (not everyone's poison I know) and the misses noshes down on those hifi bars.
But it is so pretty ?
Hello! I love your blog, it's great to hear that there are some people out there enjoying having fun with SW, some get very serious about it all. Just wondering what bread do you use for your healthy extra?
Wonderful blog as always! It's always good to have a super simple, but equally delicious, recipe like this one. As I only have access to less than flavourful shop-bought tomatoes, what do you think about roasting them with salt, thyme and balsamic , to enhance the flavour, then putting on the ricotta toast?

Q: Is locking access to a bool required or is it Overkill I have a class that is designed primarily as a POCO class, with various Threads and Tasks could read its values, and only others only occasionally updating these values. This seems to be an ideal scenario for ReaderWriterLockSlim.
The question is, in the class, if the property that needs to be thread-safe, if the property is a bool, is that overkill? what happens if it is an int? DateTime?
public class MyClass
{
  private bool _theValue = false;
  private ReaderWriterLockSlim _theValueLock = new ReaderWriterLockSlim();

  public bool TheValue
  {
    get
    {
      bool returnVal = false;
      try
      {
        _theValueLock.EnterReadLock();
        returnVal = _theValue;
      }
      finally
      { _theValueLock.ExitReadLock(); }
      return returnVal;
    }
    set
    {
      try
      {
        _theValueLock.EnterWriteLock();
        _theValue = value;
      }
      finally
      { _theValueLock.ExitWriteLock(); }
    }
  }
}

Is all this code overkill, and a simple...
public bool TheValue { get; set; }

...would be sufficient?
Because the Type is bool, is it safe? if so, when does it become not safe?
byte? int? DateTime?
edit
My basic architecture is to have this class store state. Maybe have one service in charge of doing the writes to this class. All the other classes can read and perform their logic based on this state data. I will do my best to make sure all data is consistent, but as stated below, my main concern was the atomicity and splinching of data.
Conclusion
Thanks everyone for their response, all were valuable. My main concern was of atomicity of the writes/reads (i.e. worried about splinching). For the .NET platform, if the variable in question is a built-in value type that is less than 4 bytes, then the read and write is atomic (ex. short and int are fine, long and double are not).

A: Depending on how this is being used, you may need to mark the boolean volatile.  This will require a backing field to your property.
You should not need to handle this with the ReaderWriterLockSlim as you're doing now, since it's less than 32bits (assuming you're using AutoLayout, for details, see this post or, for the most detail, the section titled The Atomicity of Memory Accesses in the ECMA 335 spec).  If you're using a type larger than this, then some form of synchronization will be required.
I would recommend:
public class MyClass
{
    private volatile bool _theValue = false;
    public bool TheValue
    {
        get { return _theValue; }
        set { _theValue = value; }
    }
 }

A: No type is truly safe!
More precisely, the C# specifications assure you that reading or assignation of structure types less than 4 bytes or references are atomic. if your operating system is 64 bits, the CLR does a little better by assuring the same thing for structures less than 8 bytes.
But anything more complicated than an assignation or a read of a value can potentially be interrupted by another competing thread if you are not careful.
Even something as simple as this:
myBool = !myBool

can get an unexpected result if a competing thread modify the value of myBool.
Use of locks is advised if you want to be sure something like that does not happen. Use of the volatile keyword is strongly discouraged unless you know exactly what your doing. Check these blog posts for additionnal information.
However in your example where the property does not do anything else than a single write or a single read, locking is useless. But it would not be if there was any additionnal treatment.

A: You have a few options.

*

*Do nothing.

*Make the class immutable.

*Use a plain old lock.

*Mark the fields as volatile.

*Use the Interlocked set of methods.

Since reads and writes to a bool are guaranteed to be atomic then you may not need to do anything. This will very much depend on the nature of the way your class is going to be used. Atomicity does not equal thread-safety. It is only one aspect of it.
The ideal solution is to make your class immutable. Immutable classes are generally thread-safe because they cannot be modified by other threads (or at all for that matter). Sometimes this just is not feasible though.
My next preference on the list is a plain old lock. The overhead of acquiring and releasing is very minimal. In fact, I think you will find that a lock will beat out a ReaderWriterLockSlim in most situations especially if all you are doing is reading/writing a variable. My own personal tests indicate that the overhead of RWLS is about 5x slower than a lock. So unless the read operations are unusually long and that they significantly outnumber write operations then RWLS will not help.
If you are concerned about lock overhead then by all means mark the fields as volatile. Just remember that volatile is not a magic bullet that solves all concurrency issues. It is not intended as a replacement for lock.
