biotikur is neither a product nor a technique. It's a series of beliefs shared by a passionate and motivated community.
1. You have the right to be the protagonist of your health journey
If you make the effort to understand your health and actively improve it, you should be encouraged, guided and supported.
Health and wellness should be more than "sick care." We're part of a growing movement against a broken system that only treats acute illness at the surface and discourages patient involvement.
Everyone should be empowered to take proactive health and wellness measures with a reasonable logical basis - even if the medical mainstream hasn't accepted them yet.
2. Evidence and sound science advance and guide our health journeys
Too many businesses take advantage of our desire for better health by selling poorly-supported products with irresponsible claims.
We can improve health outcomes as well as safety by promoting science literacy in our community. We believe in products that facilitate better health as well as inform our customers, so we can all make healthier decisions in over time.
3. Your gut biome may be as important to your everyday well-being as your DNA - maybe even more
Scientists are constantly making new discoveries about the critical role of the human microbiome in the human experience.
By some estimates, up to 90% of serotonin, a critical neurotransmitter that regulates mood and well-being, is produced in the gastrointestinal tract.
Emerging evidence suggests the gut biome plays a determining role in metabolism and body composition.
Studies have demonstrated a relationship between gut biome composition and various psychiatric illnesses such as anxiety, mood disorders and autism.
Though research into the gut biome is ongoing, its contribution to health and disease is far greater than we currently know. Its composition and modification could be therapeutic for any number of illnesses and facilitate better health.
Openness and Humility:
Everyone is on their own health journey. People who ask questions, try to improve their own health and wellness, and help others in good faith are part of the solution. Some things that work for others might not work for us and vice versa. The body is a series of complex systems we are only beginning to understand. But we remain non-judgmental, keep an open mind, and try to learn from everyone.
Empowering and enabling others:
It isn't about us. We believe in enabling human potential - not only by helping our customers build, strengthen and maintain their microbiome, but also doing the same for our team and communities.
Honesty, transparency and integrity:
We always act in an honest, direct and transparent way. If we say it, we believe it. If we sell it, we stand behind it.
Boldness:
Our product innovations come from science, logic, daring, and respect for the human spirit. We think for ourselves, call out the medical-pharmaceutical complex when it falls short, and maintain openness to emerging therapies.
We're driven by a hunger to improve people's lives and do meaningful and impactful work. This means following the evidence where it leads and sharing the latest beneficial ideas and therapies with our community.
We refuse to accept a world where effective health and wellness innovations take ages to get into people's hands, or remain the exclusive domain of the wealthy.

Project Proposal 1964-238: "The Eater of Worlds"
Groups Of Interest » Are We Cool Yet? Hub » Project Proposal 1964-238: "The Eater of Worlds"
Title: The Eater of Worlds
Material Requirements:
Schematics and components for an implosion-type fission bomb
6.2 kg of weapons-grade plutonium lead
One pair of Hi-Fi stereo speakers
Live brain tissue surgically extracted from Edward Teller, Robert Oppenheimer, Eugene Wigner, Leo Chazdwick, Ernst Goldberg, and/or any living US or Soviet head of state or national defense director
One transistorized positronic cognition matrix (consult with I.A.)
Solenoids salvaged from pinball machines constructed after July 16th, 1945
Acrylic paint and brushes
Abstract: The Eater of Worlds is a functional replica of the "Fat Man" atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan near the end of World War II. Per the safety guidelines established after the incident at the 1954 Expo and the recommendations of the Submission Committee, the exploding-bridgewire detonators and plutonium core in the version to be displayed at the 1964 Expo will be replaced with inert analogues. The trigger and other internal mechanisms remain active but are incapable of producing an explosion.
A positronic matrix based on the latest developments in synthetic consciousness has been integrated into the bomb's casing, rendering the device self-aware and capable of seeing and hearing events occuring around it. Brain tissue from several leading scientific and political figures involved in the development and deployment of nuclear weaponry have been used as the seed material for the bomb's artificial mind, effectively producing a gestalt consciousness representing the very concept of atomic warfare personified.
Once functional, The Eater of Worlds should be displayed on its own in an isolated room with a laboratory motif for contextual purposes. Visitors are to be encouraged to speak to and question the bomb, thus allowing the bomb's responses to reflect its opinions as a weapon on the growing danger of global nuclear war, and allowing the visitor to be confronted with the reality of global annihilation and to challenge their own preconceptions about the matter.
Intent: It was a muggy summer night when I first met Leo Chazdwick in a bar in Greenwich Village. I never thought to ask how one of the fathers of the atomic bomb found his way into that dive, but there he was - pushing sixty, acting seventy, deeply intoxicated, and looking like he was one ill-timed comment away from bursting into tears. He was shocked that I recognized his face (you can thank my Intro to Atomic Energy professor at MIT for that), and we chatted for awhile, the scientific genius and the second-year dropout, over a few pints of Genesee. He was a proud man - but the emptier his glass got, the more that pride changed to guilt and regret.
"We won the war," he told me towards the end of our conversation, "but we damned the human race. We gave Uncle Sam a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world - of course he wasn't going to just use it once and throw away the plans! Now we've got thousands of them just ready to go, and so do the Reds. It's not a matter of if; it's a matter of when."
I reflected on that conversation for a long time, and I had to admit I found it perplexing how differently people were looking at the Bomb. Chazdwick wished he'd never made that fatal discovery in '42 that set the Manhattan Project on its path to success, but men like Teller wanted to nuke half the world as an engineering project, and politicians were more than willing to threaten human extinction over petty international disputes. I wondered - what if we could ask the Bomb itself what it thought about the matter?
Getting a nuclear bomb was the easy part - a couple phone calls, a quick stop by 231 East 47th Street, and they hauled one up from the basement and loaded it in the back of my rented Studebaker. The hard part was getting it to answer me when I talked to it. Chazdwick's brain was too pickled from his addictions to provide a usable sample, and the piece of Einstein's cerebellum that I got in the mail wasn't fresh enough. I definitely needed material from a living person to stabilize it (so Fermi, unfortunately, was out of the question,) but the slices I could come by weren't enough on their own. It took another year and a half and about a dozen samples before the bomb had a stable consciousness that could hold a conversation, but I had to switch it off for fear that it'd trigger itself and instantaneously open up the entire west side to urban redevelopment.
I worry that taking the core out will compromise the project. It's supposed to be the Bomb in living form - what good is a bomb that can't explode? But the 1964 Expo opens in a few weeks, and there's no other way I'm going to get this thing up and running, and safe enough to satisfy the Critics, if I want to have it on display this decade. Perhaps the existential crisis the bomb will find itself in will make for an interesting look at the psychology of one who is completely unable to do the one thing they feel like they were put on this Earth to do?

"My assessment is you have written an excellent program of studies dealing with the fundamentals of performance in instrumental music particularly in the area of rhythmic training."
"I teach band in Texas and regularly perform grade 4 music with my students; we recently performed at the "Music For All" National Festival. I very much enjoy using your Band Fundamentals Book. Your books provide great materials for students to truly master the fundamentals. The limited ranges and rhythmic repetition are of great value to anyone interested in teaching beginning students at a higher level."
"As an educator for over thirty years, I am a strong believer in giving my students a solid basis of musical fundamentals. Steve Hedrick's "Band Fundamentals Scale Book" is a fantastic way to teach scales to either individual instrument groupings or the entire band. Its systematic methodical approach of teaching scale construction is a blessing to my students. As a middle school band director, I can say I have never found an easier, more efficient way of teaching scales to all my students. Bravo!"
"My students used books 1 and 2 this year on a daily basis. In twelve years of teaching, I have never had a band that reads this well. Unlike other books, these books give students a topic and an adequate number of practice lines on that topic. Simply put, my band is a better reading band because of the Band Fundamentals Series."
"Both my 7th and 6th graders reading ability has grown and their tone quality has really started to become more centered and true. I believe this method has changed the way my students play and process because of the constant reinforcement throughout each exercise. I especially like the percussion writing in the book. Thanks for a job well done!"
"I wanted to let you know how much I love your books! The practical and methodical reinforcement your book provides is something I think will benefit my students greatly and will allow them to learn faster, making my job easier and allowing them to have more fun by achieving success."
"Thank you for putting these books together. I LOVE THEM!"
"I just wanted to write and let you know that we are loving your books. 7th grade just finished book 2 and 6th grade is just about finished with book 1. We have more kids this year who actually "get it" when it comes to reading the music. I usually have several that want to guess at how things go and this year seems to be different. Thanks for a great product."
"Simplicity…that's the beauty of this book. Don't be fooled when you first look at Band Fundamentals. You will say, "So what! It looks like any other band method." It isn't, and once you have your students play through the first few pages you'll see the difference, but most importantly, hear the difference. What makes a great athlete, artist, or musician? Fundamentals! And that is what this book is all about. Simply put, try it…you'll like it! It works!"
"It's incredible. My kids have sight-read five to ten times more music than in the regular method book."
"Steve, we received your books and love them. I would like to order the following..."

The Book of Stories for the Storyteller
by Fanny E. Coe
Previous Part 1 2 3 4
Meanwhile a more important customer had come in with whom the assistant was busy, so Molly went over to her and handed her the sixpence.
"We will have two dips," she said.
"Thank you. Did you say you would have three yards, madam?" she asked, turning to the lady customer.
Molly's Purchases
"You dip first," said Julia.
Molly looked from the flat parcels to the three-cornered ones and could not decide which to choose.
"I think I will shut my eyes," she said, and she put in her hand at random and pulled out a small, flat parcel. She opened it eagerly, and took out a block of black paper, to be used as a slate, and a pencil with which to write on it. She was sadly disappointed, and felt very much like crying.
"It is a horrid thing," said Julia. "We don't want a paper slate when you have that nice blackboard. You were very silly to shut your eyes. I shall choose with my eyes open. I am going to take that package that looks as if it might be a doll."
She took out the enticing-looking package and began to untie the string, and presently drew forth a pink-and-white-and-green china vase of a hideous shape. It was too large for dolls, and too small for people, and too ugly to please either.
"That dip is perfectly horrid," said Julia.
Molly was sure that she had never been so unhappy. She knew, now that it was too late, that she wanted the paper doll furniture more than anything in the whole world. The little girls were very sober all the way home. When they reached Molly's gate, Julia handed over the vase.
"Take the old thing," she said. "You have got something to remember Priscilla by always now, and you can send the paper slate to her."
"Well, what did you buy, dear?" her mamma asked cheerfully, as Molly came into the parlour.
The little girl found it hard to keep back her tears. Her Aunt Mary and her brother Fred were sitting there, too. She felt it would have been easier to confess her folly to her mother alone.
She held up the vase and the paper block silently.
"The block was a sensible choice," said her mamma, "but I don't see why you chose the vase."
"I didn't choose either of them," Molly burst out. "We dipped and we got them."
"In short, they chose you," said Fred.
Then the little girl told the whole story. "I did want the paper doll furniture so much," she ended.
"Why didn't you buy it, then?" asked her aunt.
"Because we thought it would be more fun to dip."
"This will be a very good lesson for you, Molly," said her aunt. "It is never well to spend money unless you are sure what you are spending it for. I am sorry for you, but you will never be so foolish again."
"There will be time to go to Fletcher's again before tea," said Fred. "I will go with you, and we will pretend the sixpence I have was Priscilla's and you shall choose what you want all over again."
Molly danced up and down with pleasure, and she and Fred went to Fletcher's together. This time she made her choice very quickly, for she knew just what she wanted. She bought the bedroom set and the kitchen furniture. She remembered Julia's words: "I should keep them both. If Priscilla chose to spend her money on fireworks, that is her lookout."
But now she herself had spent her money foolishly. If Fred had thought as Julia did, that nobody who had made an unwise investment ought to have anything given her, she would never have had the dear paper doll furniture. So she kept the kitchen set and sent the bedroom set to Priscilla.
Hans and his Dog
MAUD LINDSAY
The Golden Coin
Far away across the sea, in a country called Switzerland, there once lived a little boy whose name was Hans.
Switzerland is a wonderful country, full of beautiful snowy mountains, where gleaming ice-fields shine, and dark pine forests grow.
Hans lived with his aunt and his uncle in a village up among these mountains. He could not remember any other home, for his father and his mother had died when he was a little baby, and his aunt and his uncle, who had not a child of their own, had taken care of him ever since.
Han's uncle was a guide. He showed the safest ways and best paths to travellers, who came from all over the world to see the mountains.
Every summer the little town where Hans lived was full of strangers. Some of them came in carriages, some on foot; some were rich, some were poor; but all of them wanted to climb to the mountain-tops, where the snows are always white and dazzling against the blue sky.
The paths over the mountains are slippery and dangerous, leading across the ice-fields by cracks and chasms most fearful to see. The travellers dared not climb them without someone to show the way, and nobody in the village knew the way so well as Hans's uncle.
The uncle was so brave and trusty that he was known throughout the whole country, and everybody who came to the mountains wanted him as guide.
One day a Prince came, and no sooner had he rested from his journey than he sent for Hans's uncle.
That very day Hans was five years old, and so his uncle told him that because it was his birthday, he, too, might go to see the Prince.
This was a great treat for Hans, and his aunt made haste to dress him in his best clothes.
"You must be good," she told him a dozen times before he set out with his uncle to the hotel where the Prince was staying.
When they got there they found everything in a bustle, for the place was full of fine ladies and gentlemen who had come with the Prince, and the servants were hurrying here and there to wait on them.
Nobody even saw the little boy, in holiday clothes, who tiptoed so quietly over the beautiful carpets. Nobody, I should say, but the Prince; for after the Prince had finished his business with Hans's uncle, he smiled at Hans and asked his name and how old he was. Hans was very proud to say that he was five years old that very day; and when the Prince heard this he took a gold-piece from his purse and gave it to Hans.
"This is for a birthday present," he said, "and you must buy what you want most."
The Silver Chain
Hans could scarcely believe his own eyes. He ran every step of the way home, to show the gold-piece to his aunt; and, when she saw it, she was almost as pleased as he was.
"You must buy something that you can keep always," she said. "What shall it be?—a silver chain!" she cried, clasping her hands at the thought of it. "A silver chain to wear upon your coat when you are a man, and have, perhaps, a watch to hang upon it! 'Twill be a fine thing to show—a silver chain that a Prince gave you!"
Hans was not certain that he wanted a chain more than anything else, but his aunt was very sure about it; so she gave the gold-piece to a soldier cousin, who bought the chain in a city where he went to drill before the very Prince who had given Hans the money.
When the chain came, the aunt called all the neighbours to see it. "The Prince himself gave the child the money that bought it," she said again and again.
Hans thought the chain very fine; but after he had looked at it a while he was quite willing that his aunt should put it away in the great chest where she kept the holiday clothes and the best tablecloths.
The chain lay there so long that Hans felt sorry for it, and wondered if it did not get lonely. He got lonely often himself, for there was nobody to play with him at his own home, and his aunt did not encourage him to play with other children. She liked a quiet house, she said, and she supposed that everybody else did.
Hans made no more noise than a mouse. He stayed a great deal in the stable with the cows. The cows and he were good friends. One of them, the oldest of all, had given milk for him when he was a baby, and he never forgot to carry her a handful of salt at milking-time.
He often thought that he would rather have bought a cow with the gold-piece than a silver chain; but he did not tell anybody, for fear of being laughed at.
Once he asked his aunt to let him play with the silver chain; but she held up her hands in amazement at the thought of such a thing. So the chain lay in the dark chest, as I have said, for a long time—nearly a year.
Then there was a great festival in the town, and the aunt took the chain from its wrappings and fastened it about Hans's neck with a ribbon.
She and Hans had on their best clothes, and all the village was prepared for a holiday.
Flags were flying, fiddlers were playing gay tunes on their fiddles, and the drummer boy kept time on his drum and made a great noise.
In the middle of the village square was a merry-go-round, which Hans and the other children liked best of all.
"If you are good, you shall ride," said Hans's aunt, as she hurried him on to the place where the strong men of the village were lifting great stones to show their strength. Then the swift runners ran races, and the skilful marksmen shot at targets.
The Saint Bernard Dog
Oh! Hans was tired before he saw half the sights; and he wished that his aunt would remember about the merry-go-round. He did not like to worry her, though, so he sat down on a doorstep to rest, while she talked to her friends in the crowd.
By-and-by a man with a covered basket came and sat down beside him. He put the basket down on the step, and Hans heard a queer little grumbling sound inside. "Oh yes," said the man, "you want to get out."
"Row, row!" said the thing in the basket.
When the man saw how surprised Hans looked, he lifted the lid of the basket and let him peep in. What do you think was in the basket? The dearest baby puppy that Hans had ever seen.
"There," said the man, shutting down the lid, "there is the finest Saint Bernard dog in Switzerland. Do you know anybody who might want to buy him?"
"Are you going to sell him?" asked Hans.
"Yes, indeed," said the man. "How would you like to buy him yourself?"
"I!" said Hans. "Oh! I would rather have him than anything else in the world; but I haven't any money. I haven't anything of my own but this silver chain."
"Is that yours?" asked the man. "It is a very fine chain."
"Oh yes," cried Hans. "But I would a thousand times rather have a dog."
"Well, then," said the man, "if you are sure that the chain is yours, and if you want the dog so much, I'll let you have him for it, although he's worth a fortune."
And so, in less time than I take to tell it, the chain was off Hans's neck and the dog was in his arms.
Then he ran to find his aunt. "Oh, aunt!" he called, even before he reached her, "look at this beautiful dog. He is my very own. The man let me have him for my silver chain."
"Your silver chain!" cried his aunt angrily, coming to meet him in haste. "Your silver chain! What do you mean, you stupid child? Not the silver chain that was bought for your birthday? Not the silver chain that the Prince gave you? A nice bargain, indeed! Where is the man?" And, catching the child by the hand, she hurried back through the crowd so fast that he almost had to run to keep up with her. The great tears ran down Hans's cheeks and on to the dog's back, but his aunt did not notice them. She scolded and scolded as she made her way back to the doorstep.
When they got there the man was nowhere to be seen, and nobody could tell them which way he had gone. So, although they looked for him until almost dark, they had to go home without finding him.
Hans still carried the dog in his arms, and all the neighbours they met stopped to ask if silly Hans had really given his silver chain for a dog, as they had heard.
His aunt had a great deal to say to them, but Hans said nothing at all. He only hugged the dog the closer, and wondered how long it would be before he would have to give him up.
But Hans's aunt let him keep the dog in spite of her scolding. "A dog is better than nothing," she said.
Hans named him Prince, for, after all, the dog was the Prince's birthday present.
At first Prince did nothing but sleep and eat. Then he began to grow, oh! so fast.
By the time he had lived two years in the house he was a great, fine dog, with long, thick hair and soft, loving eyes. He was very beautiful. All the travellers who came in the summer to see the mountains said so, and even Hans's aunt thought so, although she did not love the dog.
Hans was never lonely after Prince came. Even at night they stayed together; and in the winter Hans would put his arms about his friend's shaggy neck and sleep close beside him to keep warm.
The winters are very cold in the country where Hans lived. The winds whistle through the pine-trees, and the snow comes down for days, till the valleys are as white as the mountain-tops.
Few travellers go to the mountains then. They are afraid of the bad roads, and of the snow, which sometimes slides in great masses, burying everything in its way.
Hans's uncle knew many stories of travellers who had been lost in the snow, and he told, too, of some good men, living in the mountains, who sent their dogs out to find and help people who were lost—"dogs like our Prince here," he would say; and Hans would hug Prince and say: "Do you hear? Your uncles and cousins and brothers save people out of the cold snow."
Prince would bark sharply whenever Hans told him this, just as if he were proud. He knew all about travellers, and snow, for, often, Hans's uncle took him on short trips over the mountains.
Hans always let him go, willingly, with his good uncle; but one day when his soldier cousin (the one who had bought the silver chain in the city) asked if he might take the dog with him for a day, Hans was very sorry to let Prince go.
"Fie!" said his aunt, when she saw his sorrowful face. "What harm could come to a great dog like that?"
But Hans was not satisfied. All day long his heart was heavy, and when, in the afternoon, the little white snowflakes came flying down he watched for the return of his soldier cousin and the dog with anxious eyes.
After a long while he heard great laughing and talking on the road, and he ran out to see who was coming.
It was the soldier cousin with a party of friends, and they laughed still more when they saw Hans.
"Little Hans! Little Hans!" cried one of them, "this fine cousin of yours has forgotten your dog."
"Forgotten my dog!" said Hans. "What do you mean?"
"He was asleep behind the stove at the inn," said the soldier cousin, who looked very much ashamed of himself.
"And he never missed him until now," cried the friends. "Think of that—a great dog like Prince!"
Hans looked from one to another with tears in his eyes; but they were all too busy with their joking to notice him. Only the soldier cousin, who was really sorry for his carelessness, tried to comfort him.
"He'll be here," he said, patting Hans on the head, "by milking-time, I warrant; for he is wise enough to take care of himself anywhere."
"Wiser than you," laughed the rest; and they all went off merrily, leaving the little boy standing in the road.
He scarcely saw them go, for he was thinking of the night so near at hand, and the winds and the snow-slides. How could the dear dog find his way through the darkness alone?
"I will go for him in the morning, if he does not come home to-night," called the soldier cousin.
But morning seemed very far away to the dog's anxious little master, and the big tears began to roll down his cheeks.
Just then a thought sprang into his mind, as thoughts will. "Why not go yourself for him now?" was the thought.
Hans clapped his hands joyfully. Of course he could go. He knew the way, for he had been to the inn only the summer before with his uncle.
The loud winds whistled, and the snowflakes kissed his cheeks and his nose; but he thought of his playmate and started out bravely.
"Moo! moo!" called the old cow from the stable. Hans knew her voice. "Bring me my salt," she seemed to say.
"When I come back," he answered, as he struggled up the frozen road.
He was very cold, for he had even forgotten his cap in his haste; but the snowflakes powdered his hair till he looked as if he wore a white one.
He could scarcely pucker up his mouth to whistle. His feet were numb and his fingers tingled, and the wind sang in his ears till he was as sleepy as sleepy could be.
"I'll sit down and rest," said Hans to himself, "and then I can go faster." But when he sat down he could not keep his eyes open, and before many minutes he was fast asleep and lay in a little dark heap on the white snow.
"Let's cover him up," said the snowflakes, hurrying down; but before they had time to whiten his clothes a great big beautiful Saint Bernard dog came bounding down the road.
It was Prince. He had waked up from his nap behind the stove, and hastened after the soldier cousin as fast as his four feet could carry him. He was not afraid of the night or the snow, and he was as warm as toast in his shaggy coat.
He was thinking of Hans as he hurried along—when, suddenly, he spied him lying there so still by the roadside.
In an instant the good dog sprang to the child's side, barking furiously, for every dog in Switzerland knows that those who sleep on snow pillows seldom wake up.
"Bow-wow! Bow-wow!" he barked, loud and long, "Bow-wow! Bow-wow!" which meant in his language, "Little master, wake up!"
But Hans was dreaming of the mountains where the travellers went, and did not hear.
"Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Wake up! Wake up!" called the dog; and he licked Hans's face and tugged at his coat, pulling him along with his strong teeth.
"You can't wake him up," said the wind.
"Bow-wow! I can," barked Prince; and he ran down the road and called for help: "Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Come here! Come here!"
The sound of his voice reached the village, where everything was as quiet as the snow itself. The cows heard it first and mooed in their stalls. The soldier cousin heard it, on his way to Hans's house, where he was going to find out whether Prince had come back. Hans's uncle and aunt heard it as they searched through the house for their little boy. The neighbours heard it, and opened their doors to listen.
"Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Come here! Come here!"
"Something is wrong," said the people; and they all hurried out of their houses, away from their fires and their suppers, up the mountain-side, till they came to the spot where the faithful dog kept guard over his little master.
Hans's uncle never tired of telling how Prince saved Hans. He tells it on the long winter evenings when the winds whistle through the pines and he tells it in the summer to the travellers as they climb the mountains.
Hans thinks it is more beautiful than a fairy story, and so does his aunt; for ever since that snowy night she has been ready to agree that the dear dog is better than all the silver chains in the world.

FUNdamentals of Finance was born out of frustration… On one hand from staff in businesses who see accountants as boring, virtually humourless people obsessed by numbers and difficult to communicate with… And on the other frustration from accountants sometimes exasperated at the decisions of non-finance trained staff and how this lack of understanding of the financial consequences of decisions affected the profitability of the company … and the desire to find a solution.
At the core of this frustration is a fundamental difference in learning styles. Most accountants are left-brain dominant: analytical, sequential, detail oriented, comfortable with numbers.
And many staff? Not trained accountants and right brained to boot, meaning they are more creative, generally better with words than numbers and not as detail oriented.
In addition to the differences in learning styles, the reality is many staff, having worked their way up the corporate ladder, now run multi-million dollar budgets and do so with little formal financial training.
The power of FUNdamentals of Finance is it starts from scratch and assumes no knowledge. It builds from the baseline of personal finance, concepts everyone is familiar with.
Using colour and form, and a hands-on approach, it makes it easy for non-finance people to make connections between abstract financial concepts and how their decisions impact on the company's bottom line.
FUNdamentals of Finance uses the Bonanza learning system. Bonanza is the Swedish learning organisation that pioneered the experiential and hands-on rather than lecture approach to adult training.
Bonanza provides the world's finest finance training and over 300,000 people in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Holland, Germany, Turkey, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, USA and Canada have benefited from this practical, fun and easy to understand training.
Our Managing Director, Cherry Birch holds the exclusive Australian rights to the Bonanza system; you will not find it anywhere else except in FUNdamentals of Finance.
Cherry Birch began her career as an accountant in the UK and was quickly drawn to helping others without finance training and began tutoring others in the skills of finance.
She has worked in south-east Asia in the areas of management, leadership and financial skills development and in the late 90s took up a position in Australia. Based in Melbourne, she has consulted to the Australian Institute of Management and now runs FUNdamentals of Finance exclusively for the Australian corporate market.

Package sling is a Go HTTP client library for creating and sending API requests.

Slings store HTTP Request properties to simplify sending requests and decoding
responses. Check the examples to learn how to compose a Sling into your API
client.

Usage

Use a Sling to create an http.Request with a chained API for setting properties
(path, method, queries, body, etc.).

	type Params struct {
	    Count int `url:"count,omitempty"`
	}
	params := &Params{Count: 5}

	req, err := sling.New().Get("https://example.com").QueryStruct(params).Request()
	client.Do(req)

Path

Use Path to set or extend the URL for created Requests. Extension means the
path will be resolved relative to the existing URL.

	// sends a GET request to http://example.com/foo/bar
	req, err := sling.New().Base("http://example.com/").Path("foo/").Path("bar").Request()

Use Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete, or Head which are exactly the same as Path
except they set the HTTP method too.

	req, err := sling.New().Post("http://upload.com/gophers")

Headers

Add or Set headers which should be applied to the Requests created by a Sling.

	base := sling.New().Base(baseUrl).Set("User-Agent", "Gophergram API Client")
	req, err := base.New().Get("gophergram/list").Request()

QueryStruct

Define url parameter structs (https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-querystring/query)
and use QueryStruct to encode query parameters.

	// Github Issue Parameters
	type IssueParams struct {
	    Filter    string `url:"filter,omitempty"`
	    State     string `url:"state,omitempty"`
	    Labels    string `url:"labels,omitempty"`
	    Sort      string `url:"sort,omitempty"`
	    Direction string `url:"direction,omitempty"`
	    Since     string `url:"since,omitempty"`
	}

	githubBase := sling.New().Base("https://api.github.com/").Client(httpClient)
	path := fmt.Sprintf("repos/%s/%s/issues", owner, repo)

	params := &IssueParams{Sort: "updated", State: "open"}
	req, err := githubBase.New().Get(path).QueryStruct(params).Request()

Json Body

Make a Sling include JSON in the Body of its Requests using BodyJSON.

	type IssueRequest struct {
	    Title     string   `json:"title,omitempty"`
	    Body      string   `json:"body,omitempty"`
	    Assignee  string   `json:"assignee,omitempty"`
	    Milestone int      `json:"milestone,omitempty"`
	    Labels    []string `json:"labels,omitempty"`
	}

	githubBase := sling.New().Base("https://api.github.com/").Client(httpClient)
	path := fmt.Sprintf("repos/%s/%s/issues", owner, repo)

	body := &IssueRequest{
	    Title: "Test title",
	    Body:  "Some issue",
	}
	req, err := githubBase.New().Post(path).BodyJSON(body).Request()

Requests will include an "application/json" Content-Type header.

Form Body

Make a Sling include a url-tagged struct as a url-encoded form in the Body of
its Requests using BodyForm.

	type StatusUpdateParams struct {
	    Status             string   `url:"status,omitempty"`
	    InReplyToStatusId  int64    `url:"in_reply_to_status_id,omitempty"`
	    MediaIds           []int64  `url:"media_ids,omitempty,comma"`
	}

	tweetParams := &StatusUpdateParams{Status: "writing some Go"}
	req, err := twitterBase.New().Post(path).BodyForm(tweetParams).Request()

Requests will include an "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Content-Type
header.

Extend a Sling

Each distinct Sling generates an http.Request (say with some path and query
params) each time Request() is called, based on its state. When creating
different kinds of requests using distinct Slings, you may wish to extend
an existing Sling to minimize duplication (e.g. a common client).

Each Sling instance provides a New() method which creates an independent copy,
so setting properties on the child won't mutate the parent Sling.

	const twitterApi = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/"
	base := sling.New().Base(twitterApi).Client(httpAuthClient)

	// statuses/show.json Sling
	tweetShowSling := base.New().Get("statuses/show.json").QueryStruct(params)
	req, err := tweetShowSling.Request()

	// statuses/update.json Sling
	tweetPostSling := base.New().Post("statuses/update.json").BodyForm(params)
	req, err := tweetPostSling.Request()

Without the calls to base.New(), tweetShowSling and tweetPostSling reference
the base Sling and POST to
"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json/statuses/update.json", which
is undesired.

Recap: If you wish to extend a Sling, create a new child copy with New().

Receive

Define a JSON struct to decode a type from 2XX success responses. Use
ReceiveSuccess(successV interface{}) to send a new Request and decode the
response body into successV if it succeeds.

	// Github Issue (abbreviated)
	type Issue struct {
	    Title  string `json:"title"`
	    Body   string `json:"body"`
	}

	issues := new([]Issue)
	resp, err := githubBase.New().Get(path).QueryStruct(params).ReceiveSuccess(issues)
	fmt.Println(issues, resp, err)

Most APIs return failure responses with JSON error details. To decode these,
define success and failure JSON structs. Use
Receive(successV, failureV interface{}) to send a new Request that will
automatically decode the response into the successV for 2XX responses or into
failureV for non-2XX responses.

	type GithubError struct {
	    Message string `json:"message"`
	    Errors  []struct {
	        Resource string `json:"resource"`
	        Field    string `json:"field"`
	        Code     string `json:"code"`
	    } `json:"errors"`
	    DocumentationURL string `json:"documentation_url"`
	}

	issues := new([]Issue)
	githubError := new(GithubError)
	resp, err := githubBase.New().Get(path).QueryStruct(params).Receive(issues, githubError)
	fmt.Println(issues, githubError, resp, err)

Pass a nil successV or failureV argument to skip JSON decoding into that value.

Save Wimbledon Police Station
My Latest Community Email
Breaking News on Wimbledon Police Station
Tuesday, 21 July, 2020
Important News – Wimbledon Police Station
I have been informed by Chief Superintendent Sally Benatar, the South West London BCU Commander, that from Wednesday 29 July, a staged move will begin to create a single parade site located at Wimbledon Police Station. This means that local response teams will be based at Wimbledon, highlighting its importance to our community, and will not lead to any increase in response times.
This is positive step forward in our long campaign to Save Wimbledon Police Station. It supports our arguments that our Police Station is the best site for our share of the 20,000 new police officers the Government have funded to operate from,
Wimbledon Police Station is still under threat
In 2017 the Labour Mayor of London announced his plans to close Wimbledon Police Station. In response, Merton Conservatives launched a local petition which was signed by thousands of you, which was delivered to the Mayor. On numerous occasions, including in meetings with the Deputy Mayor and local Police, I made it clear that the Mayor's plans were unjustified and unacceptable, and outlined the case to keep our Police Station open.
Whilst the courts found that the Mayor's original consultation ahead of his announcement was flawed, it did not stop the Mayor from closing our police station. It is still at risk because the Mayor could still close our police station as he only had to consider the 'impact of new technology', not to re-run the consultation or alter his decision.
I will continue fighting to Save Wimbledon Police Station
I am delighted that the Met Police have acknowledged the operational importance of Wimbledon Police Station – this is the exact point I have been making over the last three years. While this news does not confirm that Wimbledon Police Station is definitely safe from the threat of closure, it is a further demonstration of the operational importance of our police station and how crucial it is to keep our community safe, and huge step to ensuring we keep our Police Station.
MOPAC and the Met are still conducting their Estates Review in light of the Government's recruitment of 20,000 extra police officers across the UK. With Wimbledon becoming the local parade centre, this proves our point about the operational importance of Wimbledon Police Station and why the Mayor must change his mind and reverse his decision to close it.
I shall continue make it clear to the Mayor that the best option, both to keep our community safe and for the Police operationally, is to keep Wimbledon Police Station open.
McPartland Smith Amendment - Fire Safety Bill
I can confirm I have signed the McPartland Smith amendment to the Fire Safety Bill, which provides that the owner of a building may not pass the costs of any remedial work attributable to the provisions of this Act on to leaseholders or tenants of that building.

drop dead
+ By the early 60s, classic radio had pretty much disappeared from the airwaves, except for a couple of shows hanging on by a thread. Television was now the home entertainment medium of choice. Interest in what we would consider Old Time Radio, however, was far from dead: transcription discs, wire recordings and tape recordings of the old shows were traded, and treasured, by OTR fans. With the introduction of the LP record in the 50s, dramatic readings with sound effects that resembled old time radio gained some popularity. Eventually these recordings led to the release of actual radio shows on LP and the growth of interest in OTR (the LP collections were superseded by the advent of the cassette). An anamoly from this period is the Arch Oboler LP Drop Dead!, released in 1962. It featured newly recorded vignettes done in the style of OTR—all of them written and directed by one of the pioneers of radio drama. Unfortunately, there is next to no information about the hows and whys of the recording. At the time it was produced, Oboler had been working in film for nearly 20 years as both a writer and director, having started in film work while he was still active in radio and leaving the radio field in the late 40s, so the "why" of his return to radio-style drama does present a bit of a mystery. Was his return motivated by the chance to return to his roots with a cast of radio veterans? Did the chance to experiment with better recording techniques and the (then) new possibilities of stereo pique his interest? Or, was Oboler, often ahead of his time, testing the waters to see if the burgeoning audience for OTR would embrace new radio-style dramas (albeit, delivered not by radio but via turntable)? What ever the reasons, the fact remains that Drop Dead! was released with Oboler's name featured prominently on the cover and within the liner notes on the back cover. Drop Dead! has been the source of some confusion over the years. The album itself, as mentioned above, is a series of short pieces ranging in length from around two and half minutes to just over 8 minutes (keep in mind that Lights Out was a 30 minute program during most of its run). Contrary to what some believe, a search of radio logs shows that of the 8 selections on the LP, only two are remakes of earlier episodes written and directed by Oboler for the Lights Out program: "The Dark" and "Chicken Heart." The rest, assumedly, were newly written for the project (the album can be heard in its entirety on the KWTNL home page). "The Dark" was originally presented on 12/29/37, but all recordings of the original broadcast seem to be lost and, unlike many Lights Out episodes, it was never repeated. After listening to a number of the examples that claim to be the original broadcast, it becomes clear that they are just speeded up and distorted versions of the Drop Dead! version—the scenes in the story are exactly the same and the running times between the different versions are nearly identical. The same is true of "Chicken Heart." The program was originally broadcast 3 times: on 03/10/37, 02/23/38 and 11/24/42, yet, out of the three broadcasts, the version that crops up on the Internet is nearly identical in length to the Drop Dead! recreation and features the same scenes. Clearly, if these lost shows were available as fragments (as many claim) something would have to appear in them that was different from the Drop Dead! remakes, whether it be the order or content of scenes or a difference in the running times, and both these shows can probably be considered lost (Note: it is possible that a portion of the original "Chicken Heart" does indeed exist, as I have a dim memory of hearing a snippet around Halloween of last year, but I have been unsuccessful in tracking it down.).

What size and model computer monitor do you like? And is a touch screen option helpful?
From my experience with it I'd say "whatever you have lying around". So much of the power of that platform is in the iOS app and I ended up spending very little time interacting with the host computer.
So I guess the real answer to your question is: the best model computer monitor for Wavetool is an iPad.


This is J Dogg Phair's original, traditional BBQ sauce (compared to the eclectic bacon, port wine, chipotle symphony of Thought Yo Knew!) with a lot of positives for me: great packaging, bottle, cooked flavor, and high quality ingredients.
The aroma and taste of the sauce were tangy tomato (like Stubbs or even Open Pit) – strong on vinegar, garlic, molasses, and onion. Uncooked I found the sauce a little strong on chicken which limits it's applicability to some forms of usage – it's not the kind of sauce I'd pool up on the side of the plate for chicken but would probably work really well for red meats.
The consistency is on the thin side, but is loaded with specks of flavor from real chunks of onion, pepper, and sesame seeds.
Cooked, I found it to be a nice flavorful sauce with a lot of complexity from ingredients like beer, garlic, brown sugar, cider vinegar, molasses, mirin, (a rice wine like Sake), soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, green onion, Chile Pequin, Worcestershire.
It has a fair amount of heat – a 2 out of 5 on the heat scale for me – enough to warm up the mouth while not burning it.
All in all, this is a good grilling sauce with some complex and fun flavors – with a kick!
When I created this sauce I had in mind something that would deliver a kick to a mouth watering brisket or beef ribs or (short ribs). I do think it's a little much for chicken. The reason for the thinness is for mopping it on a brisket over a good long smoking. I just thought I'd let you know also that if you mix a couple of tablespoons in a Meatloaf mixture and then put a slim coating on the top with a couple strips of bacon and then throw it in the smoker or in the oven it's incredible.
Ingrediant list looks excellent! Love to try it.

JP Maxees MK3 restored and ready...
redfernmowers
Last seen: 8 years 10 months ago
Well... at last... After a while of other work on...... and.... a buyer for My JP Maxees MK3, I finally had the fime over the last few days to rebuild and restore the JP to her full running glory...
Rather than posting photos and faffing around, please visit my website at http://redfernmowers.wordpress.com and go to Undertaking restorations. You'll see a job in that's about to have my full attention but go further down and you'll find photos of the JP taken by my P.A (mum) who I'm extremely proud of.
Let's just say. the last 2 days have been the worst with one major problem. the wooden rollers. The originals were long grass rolers and were poor quality, ruining the finish, so I decided to use a fellow engineer's lathe (total wreck) to turn some rollers with. So I finished some solid 4" rollers and spacers, fitted them to the shaft and then installed to the completed JP unit. well... There was me thinking the rollers were absolutely fine... WRONG... Too small. leaving the bed knife 1/4" from ground at top setting. So today, I've been in his workshop again on an emergency visit to make newer rollers. it took 3-1/2 hours to make 3 4" long x 2-3/4" diameter rollers. At last... sorted.
Off to southport very early tomorrow to avoid hassle, get parts in for another client's work (for reference, a qualcast Super Colt from a member of this site). so rushed off my feet and about to cause mayhem.. just like the manah manah song on the muppets.... Yes... It's for you..... MANAH MANAH...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Baylor heard all week about Syracuse's vaunted zone, how long the Orange are, how difficult it is to find openings.
The Bears solved it by going over the top - after getting it inside.
The Orange have the nation's tallest team - topped by 7-foot-2 Pascal Chukwu - and a history of success in March. The defensive scheme helped Syracuse reach at least the third round of the NCAA Tournament in its eight previous trips, and it made the Final Four as a 10 seed in 2016.


To keep an eye on the planet, China has successfully launched a new earth observation satellite Gaofen-6, which will be used for monitoring agricultural resources as well as disaster monitoring and prediction.
Advancing into space research and making its presence felt in nothingness, beyond Earth, China has successfully launched its environmental research and experimental earth imaging nano-satellite called Gaofen-6. The launch was monitored by China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Gaofen-6 satellite was carried by a Long March-2D rocket that was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China on Saturday. During the launch, another scientifically experimental satellite named Luojia-1 was sent into space on the 2D rocket. Besides being an important experimental mission, the launch marked 276th mission of the Long March rocket series.
The Gaofen 6 Earth observation payload is the upgraded version of the Gaofen 1 satellite that was launched by China in 2013 – adding to the Gaofen family, which is a series of civilian-operated remote sensing observatories used for monitoring and imaging Earth. Geofen 6, launched for an eight year space mission, will be used in agricultural resources research and disaster monitoring – similar to Europe's Sentinel environmental satellites which takes images of the planet from the top to research and analyse the anatomy of Earth.
Gaofen 6, specifically, is equipped with sensors that can measure the nutrient content of vegetation and help estimate the yields of crops, such as corn, rice, soybeans, cotton and peanuts, etc. The nano-satellite is also capable of surveying wetlands, forests and agricultural disasters such as floods and droughts – that will better help the meteorological department of China to understand and forecast weather conditions. While on the other hand, the smaller satellite Luojia 1 will be used for experimental remote sensing mission in the space – first of its series for China to help it advance in civilian space research.

– datowany na VII wiek kurhan (kofun), znajdujący się w miejscowości Asuka w prefekturze Nara w Japonii.

Wysoki na 5 metrów kurhan ma średnicę 18 metrów. Jego wnętrze przebadane zostało w 1972 roku. Znajduje się w nim niewielka komora grobowa o długości 2,6 m, szerokości 1 m i wysokości 1,1 m. W komorze złożono przedmioty pochodzenia chińskiego oraz kości około 40-letniego mężczyzny, umieszczone w drewnianej skrzyni. Tożsamość mężczyzny pozostaje nieznana, był to najprawdopodobniej jakiś członek rodu panującego lub arystokrata. Zdaniem części badaczy szczątki mogą należeć do księcia Takechi (654-696), syna cesarza Temmu.

Ściany komory grobowej ozdobiono malowidłem ściennym przedstawiającym usytuowane naprzeciw siebie dwie grupy liczące po 4 kobiety i 4 mężczyzn, oddzielone od siebie wizerunkami czterech bóstw (Seiryū, Genbu, Byakko, Suzaku). Na suficie znajdują się namalowane czerwoną farbą 72 punkty, przedstawiające 28 konstelacji niebieskich. Autor malowidła najprawdopodobniej był cudzoziemcem – dekoracje malarskie przypominają te znane z grobowców koreańskiego państwa Goguryeo.

Bill Murray And Dan Aykroyd Are Rumored To Appear In 'Zombieland 2'
Posted January 2nd, 2019 by Jax Motes
Rumor has it that Bill Murray will return for a cameo in 'Zombieland 2' and he won't be alone. He's bringing is 'Ghostbusters' co-star Dan Aykroyd with him.
'Zombieland' was an under-the-radar hit in 2009 and has retained a strong cult following, but an attempt to turn it into a TV series on Amazon Prime Video in 2013 failed. But original director, Ruben Fleischer, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and stars Woody Harrelson ("Tallahassee"), Emma Stone ("Witchita"), Jesse Eisenberg ("Columbus"), and Abigail Breslin ("Little Rock") will come together in January to film a much-anticipated sequel.
Bill Murray appeared in the first film as himself, a survivor of the zombie apocalypse who disguises himself as a zombie so that he can move around unharmed. However after a prank goes wrong, Murray is killed by Eisenberg's character, Columbus. Will he return as a zombie in the new movie?
Reportedly 'Zombieland 2' will take place years later, after most of the zombies have died out, only to be replaced by "super zombies." Is it possible that Murray will be one of these creatures? And how does Aykroyd enter the equation? We'll probably have to wait until the film's release to find out.
In addition to Murray and Aykroyd, Zoey Deutch and Avan Jogia have also signed on to appear. Jogia's character's name is Berekley, but Deutch's hasn't been revealed.
Director Fleischer is coming off another surprise hit, Sony's 'Venom'. Production on 'Zombieland 2' is expected to begin in January, as the film is already locked into a release date– October 11, 2019– in honor of the ten-year anniversary of the release of the first 'Zombieland'. That's a tight schedule, but hopefully these old pros can pull it off.
Are you excited that, at long last, a sequel to 'Zombieland' is finally on its way? Do you have enough Twinkies to get you through until its release in October?

As we approach the three year anniversary of Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists, we thought you might be interested to know about how we got our name.
Three years ago three doctors dreamed of a medical practice where we could care for patients with compassion, integrity and the best of our professional abilities. We (Drs. Duey, Nilsson and Ritchie) were already good friends. We had worked together. Our wives and kids were friends. We frequently met for family gatherings, dinners together and to pray. When we saw the opportunity to establish an orthopedic practice together, we knew God was leading us to something special. While brainstorming for a name, Trinity was suggested.
The symbolism of the word Trinity quickly became clear: Three doctors worshipping one God in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). But also sharing a philosophy of healing that believes true healing requires three parts- a well trained doctor, a cooperative patient and the blessings of a loving and merciful God. Knowing that Religious Liberty is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, we were hopeful that we could establish a work place where doctors, patients and employees could feel comfortable talking about their faith and encouraging each other in excellence and goodness.
Starting any new business is loaded with challenges and corrections. But we are amazed at how the Lord has directed, protected and provided for Trinity. We have a fantastic team, many wonderful patients, and more blessings then we can count. Three is a significant number in the Bible. We are amazed by the many ways we see significance in this number at Trinity Orthopedics too.


One of the first commands, if not the first one, when diagnosing a network failure or intermittence. The ping tool will help us determine if there is a connection in the network, be it local or the Internet.
PING www.linuxandubuntu.com (173.274.34.38) 56 (84) bytes of data.
This command allows us to see the jumps that are needed to reach a destination. In this case, we see the jumps that are required to reach our website. This test was done from a laptop with Linux. In the example, we make a traceroute to our website, www.linuxandubuntu.com.
This command allows us to see the route that our Linux team uses to connect to the network, in this case. Our equipment leaves through router 192.168.1.1.
This command allows us to verify if the DNS is working correctly, before that, we must verify which DNS we have in the network configuration. In this example, we want to see the IP address of our website, www.linuxandubuntu.com which returns us 173.274.34.38.
This tool is a replacement for mii-tool. It comes from CentOS6 onwards and allows to see if the network card is physically connected to the network, that is. We can diagnose if the network cable is actually connected to the switch.
Another of the specific tools of Linux that allows us to list the network cards and their respective IP addresses. This tool is very useful when you have several IP addresses configured.
As essential as the previous ones, ifconfig allows us to see the network configuration of the cards installed in our team. In this case, 1 physical network card disconnected in p37s0, the local network card or localhost lo and the wireless network card wlo1 which is connected to the network is shown. We intentionally highlight the installed cards and the assigned IP addresses.
Another one of our favorite tools MTR or My Traceroute allows us to see the router jumps and ping each one. This is very useful to determine which of these routers are those that have delays in network traffic.
Another tool to know the IP address of the host we want to reach. In this case, we want to know the IP of our website, www.linuxandubuntu.com.
Network Manager Text User Interface (nmtui or Network Manager based on command line). It uses ncurses and allows us to easily configure from the terminal and without additional dependencies. It offers a graphical interface, based on text, so that the user makes those modifications.
With these networking commands, we will have the opportunity to perform a much more direct and precise management on the various parameters of the network in Linux environments. Also With the mtr command as we mention above, we can have a simpler control over the state of our network and check in a much more central way its different aspects focused on its optimization. Thanks for reading.


Wilson Fox (2 November 1831 – 3 May 1887) was an English physician.
Fox was the son of a manufacturer belonging to a well-known Quaker family in the west of England. He was born at Tone Dale House in Wellington, Somerset; he did not live at Tone Dale but he did often visit on several occasions. He was educated at Bruce Castle School, Tottenham, and University College, London, graduating B.A. in 1850, M.B. in 1854, and M.D. in 1855, at London University. After a year spent as house physician at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, he passed several years in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, being for two years in the last city a pupil of the great pathologist Virchow. Here he made important observations on the degeneration of the gastric glands.
In 1859, he married Miss Emily Doyle, and settled at Newcastle-under-Lyme, where he became physician to the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary. In 1861, supported by Virchow's strong recommendation, he was appointed professor of pathological anatomy at University College, London, and soon afterwards assistant physician to University College Hospital. In 1866 he became fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and in 1867 full physician to his hospital and Holme Professor of Clinical Medicine. In 1870, he was appointed physician extraordinary to the Queen, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He afterwards became physician in ordinary, and frequently attended the queen while in Scotland. He acquired a large practice, and was an active member of the leading medical societies and of the College of Physicians.
In personal appearance, Fox was tall, spare, and erect, with a refined expression. Although he was somewhat reserved in manner, his sincerity and earnestness gave him a strong hold on those with whom he came in contact. He was a man of great benevolence, and was in the habit of placing his house at Rydal at the disposal of the Bishop of Bedford during the summer months for the use of invalided East-end clergymen and their families.
Equally as a teacher and as an investigator and writer Fox ranked high. His cases were thoroughly studied, with special attention to the mental and emotional state of his patients, in whom he inspired great confidence. He was the first physician to save life in cases of rheumatic fever where the temperature was excessively high, by placing the patient in baths of iced water. His lectures were highly valued by the students, and the characteristic of his teaching was the ability with which the facts of pathology were made the basis of practical diagnosis and treatment. All his writings manifested great research and labour, and are encyclopædic on their subjects. Besides the works enumerated below, he had been for many years preparing a treatise on diseases of the lungs and an atlas of their pathological anatomy, works that were nearly complete at his death.
In April 1887, he was suddenly summoned to the deathbed of his eldest brother at Wellington. Thence he went northwards towards his home at Rydal for a rest, but was seized with pneumonia on the way and died on 3 May at Preston, Lancashire. He was buried at Taunton on 6 May 1887. A bust in the Shire Hall, Taunton, was unveiled on 25 October 1888. His first wife died in 1870; by her he left three sons and three daughters. In 1874 he married Evelyn, daughter of Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, and widow of Captain Burgoyne, who was capsized off Cape Finisterre during a gale on 7 September 1870.
His second son was Henry Wilson-Fox (1863–1921), who became a director of many companies in Rhodesia, and a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP).

The movie I Am Mother: trailer, clips, photos, soundtrack, news and much more!
"The film tells the story of a lonely teenage girl, 'Daughter' (Clara Rugaard), who is the first of a new generation of humans raised by 'Mother' – a kindly robot designed to repopulate the earth following the extinction of mankind. But their unique bond is threatened when a blood-drenched woman (Hilary Swank) inexplicably arrives, calling into question everything Daughter has been told about the outside world – and her Mother's intentions.
Love the feeding bottle, and the little stickers on the robot are a nice touch, lol.
Anyway, am definitely impatient to see how the whole thing will turn out! And you?
Stay tuned with us for more details about the movie I am Mother.

Is Mars Hiding Life Under the Surface? – Live Science
December 18, 2018 by scott
To find life on Mars, scientists may need to give up surface exploration and "go deep."
Typically, Mars missions searching for signs of life target the planet's surface, at sites where there are signs of ancient water (a reliable indicator of where life is found on Earth). But while no life has turned up yet on Mars' surface, there may be an abundance of microbial Martians congregating underground, according to research presented Dec. 11 here at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
In recent decades, explorations underground on Earth have revealed the so-called deep biosphere — a subsurface environment teeming with microorganisms. And scientists suspect that a similarly biologically-rich zone may be thriving under Mars' surface, too.
In fact, perhaps there was never an evolutionary push to inhabit the surface of Mars at all, Joseph Michalski, an associate professor with the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, said at the presentation. The expectation that life evolved on the Martian surface may reflect a bias established by what we know about life on our home planet, Michalski said.

Nichols wrote some of the biggest hits of the 20th century and his songs were recorded by such illustrious names as Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, The Monkees, and many more. Before he made a name for himself as a songwriter, he recorded a disc of his own for the ultra-hip A&M label in 1968, the legendary Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends album. The friends in the title were siblings Melinda and Murray MacLeod, joined by a veritable who's who of the Californian music scene. Alas, not even the presence of sound engineer Bruce Botnick, fresh from the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds production (1966), Van Dyke Parks and A&M in-house producer Tommy LiPuma could rescue the album from its fate as a flop. The sales figures may have been disappointing, but Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends ultimately attained classic status as a lost masterpiece of Californian pop, earning its rightful place in discerning record collections alongside Pet Sounds, Forever Changes (1967), and Head (1968). Possibly the most important LP of the soft-pop/sunshine-pop era has been reissued on more than one occasion over the years, yet has been unavailable in recent times, unless you are willing to part with vast sums of money on typical online platforms.
