So, You Only Live Twice. Or, so they say. But what do they know? Who are you going to trust, me or Nancy Sinatra?
Having saved the world from nuclear based extortion in Thunderball, there must have been some head-scratching going into how the sequel could raise the stakes. It appears that they went for a rather literal approach, raising the opening action literally into orbit as the forces of SPECTRE plot to start a new World War, raising Cold War tensions by space-napping both astro and cosmonauts, leaving the Yanks and the Sovs blaming each other. A very Hot War looms. Oh noes!
The only people not fooled by this, apparently, are the jolly old stiff upper lipped British, who are convinced the craft are landing near Japan. Not believing the Japanese government to be behind the scheme, it's left to James Bond to poke around, see what's going on and put a stop to it. As mentioned, the track leads, through a Japanese manufacturing concern, to those naughty chaps at SPECTRE, the plot this time being headed by the previously incognito Number One, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence).
This pretty much rounds out the Bond trope checklist. Of course, Blofeld's been knocking around for the past few films, partially glimpsed in his oft-parodied pussy-stroking, but this is the first time he's front and centre. Special mention must be made of Pleasence's performance, as despite it being the most imitated villainous performance from anything outside of the Star Wars franchise it remains creepily effective and chilling.
If you want to look at how much the Bond franchise has changed in a relatively short space of time, you don't need to look much further than the use of Monty Norman's Bond theme. In From Russia With Love, unless my memory has failed me entirely, it's heard as Jimmy checks into his hotel room and turns the place over for surveillance devices. In You Only Live Twice, he's buzzing around in a flat-pack helicopter over a secret volcano lair, destroying enemy choppers with flamethrowers, somehow.
This has very firmly crossed over to balls-out action territory, with only the very vaguest hint of actual spycraft to be seen. Well, I say actual spycraft. Actual spycraft going by the movie definitions of it, I mean. I expect actual spying these days involves a lot of sitting at computer terminals and spreadsheets.
Regardless, You Only Live Twice does action as well as anything of the era, and better than most films now. The pacing is exemplary, the screenplay from Roald Dahl (now, there's a tale from the unexpected) rarely lingering and always having the distinct feeling of forward motion. There's a new director to the franchise, with Guy Hamilton making way for Alfie director Lewis Gilbert. There's certainly a very different feel and energy to the piece in comparison with its direct precursor, although a good chunk of that may well come from this being the first of the series to essentially lift only the title from Fleming's novel, and inventing the rest. First, but by no means the last.
If there's a bone to pick with You Only Live Twice it's going to be mainly location based. Yes, everything's completely over the top, from the action to SPECTRE's plan, but the movie does at times appear to be jumping up and down saying "I AM BASED IN JAPAN! LOOK AT ALL THIS JAPANESE STUFF THAT I AM SHOWING TO YOU! HAVE I MENTIONED I AM IN JAPAN!". Understandable, and suitably exotic and intriguing to Western audiences, however by the time Tiger Tanaka has revealed his secret ninja training ground it can feel a little strange and over-egged.
There's further oddness, and admittedly it's perhaps not quite as strange as Doc. No's make-up job, but You Only Live Twice does seem to imply that it's easy to take a Caucasian and turn them into a perfectly disguised Japanese fella by applying a Tommy Sheridan-esque level of fake tan and dodgy haircut. I'm not altogether sure if this is racist, or merely very stupid. At least we've restrained ourselves from having Bond run around talking about making a delicious runch of flied rice at tooth hurty.
These are niggling points. You Only Live Twice stands up to time's challenges far more robustly than Thunderball does, and makes for a far more thrilling watch. It represents the finalisation of the Bond movie formula that it will rely on for decades to come, with a few notable exceptions. In particular, the next in the series, but we'll deal with that when we come to it.

James Drinkwater: the sea calls me by name
30 May 2019 | Chloe Mandryk
In speaking with James Drinkwater ahead of a major survey show at Newcastle Art Gallery we explore his porous approach to painting where an intriguing conceptual and material web is crafted, it's a structure with space for transience, like a dream-catcher. His paintings possess an associative aesthetic that invites the audience to join, or complete an emotional journey.
You very eloquently describe your personal relationship with painting as a 'long eternal conversation with the past'. But, making or creating is generative, so what are you hoping to contribute to this moment, or the future?
I've always believed that a clear contemporary voice has a deep respect and understanding of the past, the lineage of a well-worn track made by people just like me. So many of my peers have powerful and important political voices, my role however has always been to offer the viewer respite, not the comfortable arm chair that Matisse offered but an opportunity to lose oneself in the echo chambers of their own lives. We really are just entering and exiting a series of theatres, some horrific and some very beautiful. These themes are both old and new, eternal even.

You are inspired by a heady combination of memory and intuition. Why do you think this is?
When we are intuitive we are guided by our innate self, an unguarded version of us. When I am 'there' the channels of memory are opened and somehow physical, as malleable as a slab of clay. Whilst in that space memory and intuition can synthesise. It's a powerful mode to enter.
What is the role of the somatic senses, where 'even a smell is very visual' in your painting?
Our senses connect us with the physical and allow us to evaluate and ingest our environment. I'm most certainly a sensory animal, heightened at all times I consume both the divine and the ungodly because it's all happening right in front of us. I'm so thankful for the ancient act of painting because it continues to be paramount as a vehicle for artists to describe the world and their existence within it.
Are you interested in verity and the inaccuracy of memory because your mode is abstraction? How did you come to this?
With memory we can choose how we want to recall the event. Like sculptors we add or subtract weight to the event, pushing and pulling it until we have it recorded in a way, which suits the now. I personally like when we lose all chronology and order of the experience, when an overwhelming feeling overrides the actuality. In this sense I don't see my work as abstract rather as recordings of the interior of my life.

You always start a painting in a new way and sometimes re-orient a canvas to bring a work to fruition. Are you making a choice to bring automatism into your practice, and how does that paradox fit with the free-flow you're trying to achieve?
In doing something foreign to my practice I'm trying to trick and deceive myself in order to arrive at something new. I like to think I'm composing in a free form manner, ad libbing my way through the terrifying halls of painting. I certainly don't try and make pictures, I'm riffing with process and the endlessness of the idea of alchemy in the studio. The end result is an artefact of an exercise. That is why it hurts to see them go, because I have learnt so much from them.
How do you think the imagination of children is imbued into your work? Is this interesting to you because of the subconscious?
Looking at the world through the lens of my children has been so valuable to me and it ricochets back through my own childhood. It forces me to re-enter those spaces. I love seeing children work their way out of boredom, something incredible always happens.
Lastly, can you describe the role of Newcastle in your work?
When British painter Leon Kossoff talks about his London he quotes the great Russian poet Anna Akhmatova 'I know only one city in the world and I can find my way around it by feel in my sleep'. This is the intimacy felt when I think of Newcastle and my life is given value by its proximity to her beaches. The sea calls me by name.

Happy, happy Friday Friends! Another weekend is coming our way in a few hours!
An update on the forever ongoing back issue…I had my MRI on Tuesday, saw the doctor for the results on Wednesday. Not a great back, (thanks for the genes, Dad)…some arthritis and 2 bulging, torn discs between L4-L5 and L5-S1. Recommendation is a cortisone injection that will hopefully leave me pain free for at least 3 months, maybe much longer. How did this happen? One of the discs began bulging about 6 years ago prior to getting fit. A little over a year ago I started some very concentrated exercises to focus on the deep core muscles next to the spine, but had gotten a little lax about doing them regularly. The most recent incident began 2 weeks ago.
I am waiting on the health insurance company to process the procedure approval so that the appointment for the injection can be made. I have not had this done before. Thankfully there is an option for a light sedation…uh, yeah, sign me up for that one no doubt. The thought of a big needle going into my spine is not what I want to be aware of.
The doctor at the pain clinic is hopeful the injection will work. I could potentially get up to 4 a year, delaying a probable need for surgery for 10-15 years.
So, as you can guess, there hasn't been a lot of working out and zero riding this week. What have I occupied my time with?
Remember I promised to have some awesome protein shake recipes for you today? Well I tried, and tried…and tried some combinations out for you. Each time I was reminded I am not a creative cook. Thank goodness my blog is not a food blog, it would fail miserably. My apologies for the lack of shake recipes. I will now resort to trying out other people's recipes and will share the good ones I find next week. Have a favorite? Please share below!
So that my horse doesn't get as out of shape as I am feeling now (not really, but you know how you feel when taking a little time off), I have been free lunging her in the round pin. It gives her the opportunity for a little cardio and exercise. She isn't always thrilled about doing it though.
Online shopping…last week I ventured out to the stores to make a decent attempt to create a welcoming, inviting front porch area and I failed. This week, Amazon has been my best friend. Don't you just love Amazon? I wish I could say I ordered something for the front porch…I didn't. I have ordered something every. single. day. Shhhh, don't tell Andrew…not that he hasn't noticed the new Amazon boxes every day. Just kidding, I'm not a buy and hide type of wife. I haven't even bought anything monumental…just a few things that have been on my mind for a while. A stadium chair for the bleachers at Ian's baseball games, a tens unit (a friend said it is great for back pain and Andrew joins me in that department), face cream (I will be sharing later if it is a winner or not), popcorn seasoning for our theatre room popcorn maker…see, nothing really exciting.
Favorite snack – Pretty boring this week…banana and natural peanut butter.
Favorite show – Much more exciting than the snack…a couple of new ones this week. One totally silly, play in the background while working it doesn't matter if you miss half of the show is Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, aka Mole Woman. The show I started with a bit more storyline is Parenthood. Neither are earth shattering, but they help fill the dead air when I am home alone.
Favorite blog post – One of my favorite past times of the day is getting on the Bloglovin' app to peruse through my favorite blogs…all in one place! This was one of my favorite posts of the week, A Letter to the Woman Who Weighs Herself Every Day.
Favorite Workout to try asap – The Tabata! Have you tried it yet? Let me know what you think!
Okay, as promised on Instagram yesterday…I have big news to announce.
I am going to get my personal trainer certification!
The more I learn about fitness, the more I want to learn. It is not at all where I expected to be a few years ago, but that's often the case in life, right? You find something you like and you grow and develop those skills.
As a personal trainer, I will be able to provide one on one online training help and assistance through videos, phone calls and texts or emails. Everything should be in place in a few short months. I am super excited about broadening my fitness knowledge!
In a nutshell….a larger nutshell than anticipated, that has been my week. Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Choose a fun activity to get moving to burn some serious calories!


This Chenin Blanc and Pinotage blend was made using grapes harvested from 20-year old bush vines grown in the premium wine producing area of Stellenbosch. The light yellow colour is perfected by taking the Pinotage juice of the skins as soon as it is crushed and blending it with the Chenin Blanc. The wine has fresh fruit flavours from the Pinotage and floral aromas from the Chenin Blanc, which ensures a clean, crisp mouth feel with a good acidity. An ideal drink in the summer and best served chilled with seafood and salads.


WASHINGTON: President George W. Bush has seized on the conviction of Saddam Hussein as a "milestone" in Iraq, seeking to rally Republican voters with the issue of national security as some polls suggested his party might be making gains in the final hours of the campaign.
The White House said the timing of the announcement Sunday, two days before Election Day, had nothing to do with politics and had been dictated by the Iraqi court. But Bush moved quickly to put it to use in what has been his central strategic imperative over the past week: rousing Republican voters to turn out.
"Today we witnessed a landmark event in the history of Iraq: Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced to death by the Iraqi high tribunal," Bush said to roars of approval in a hockey auditorium packed with supporters in Grand Island, Nebraska. "Saddam Hussein's trial is a milestone in the Iraqi people's efforts to replace the rule of a tyrant with the rule of law."
With at least 20 House races and three Senate races virtually tied in polls over the past week, Republican officials have looked to the huge voter turnout operation the party has developed as its last-stand defense to prevent Democrats from making big gains on Tuesday.
Many Arabs unconvinced of Saddam trial legitimacyIf Bush was looking to draw Democrats into a debate over national security on Sunday, he did not appear to have succeeded. Across the country, Democrats also hailed the verdict in Baghdad, but argued that it would make no difference in bringing stability to Iraq and would have little bearing on the election.
Representative John Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has become the face of his party's opposition to the war in Iraq, said the verdict was the right one, but predicted it would not make a difference in this campaign. What would matter more, he said, were editorials in military papers being published calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"When the Army Times, the Navy Times, the Marine Corps Times - they have all said that we're not supporting the troops, that they're losing confidence with the administration, that's what's important," Murtha said, campaigning in Croydon, Pennsylvania, outside Philadelphia, for Patrick Murphy, a Democrat seeking to unseat Representative Mike Fitzpatrick.
The announcement of the Saddam verdict came as polls suggested some gains for Republicans. A Pew Research Center Survey released Sunday found that the number of likely voters who said they would vote for the Democrats was now 47 percent, compared with 43 percent who said they would vote for Republicans. Two weeks ago, Democrats had an edge of 50 to 39. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found a similar tightening.
Those kind of polls, about the so- called generic ballot, measure national trends and do not necessarily provide an accurate measure of what is happening in individual House and Senate races. That said, Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Center, said the poll found Republicans were becoming more enthusiastic as Election Day approaches, a sign that the party was making progress in addressing one of its key problems this year: a dispirited base.
A series of Mason-Dixon polls published Sunday suggested a tightening in two Senate races, Rhode Island and Maryland, that Democrats had been confident of winning. Republicans over the past week have spent heavily in Maryland on behalf of Michael Steele, the Republican candidate seeking to fill the seat being vacated by Paul Sarbanes, a Democrat. In Rhode Island, Senator Lincoln Chafee, the Republican, has spent heavily and banked on his family's long history in the state's politics to help him survive in a heavily Democratic state.
Ken Mehlman, the Republican chairman, said polls showed that Republicans and conservatives "were coming home," which he said "is what happens when voters focus on the choice before them."
Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the Democrat leading his party's effort to win control of the House, said, "It's inevitable that there would be some tightening in the end."
But Emanuel, who has been careful to avoid the public expressions of optimism voiced by other Democrats, added: "This is making me nervous."
The fact that Bush spent the last Sunday before Election Day in two of the most Republican states in the nation was testimony to how bleak a year this has been for the Republican Party and the president.
get back to julie on wed. morning, forrest.
Like anybody honestly thought there would be any other outcome?
exactly. but republicans gotta play their little games. do they know how stupid they look?


August came and went in a flash, and I do hate it when September arrives because it means the end of Summer. Luckily the sun is still shining and the weather is still hot, so I'll try and hang onto Summer for as long as possible.
The August Degustabox* is packed full as usual, but with far less snacks and more cooking things and beverages. It isn't the most exciting box but I did have a few surprise favourites involving BBQ sauce and goats cheese, 2 of which I usually wouldn't care for.
Willy Chase's Fit Corn. I'm a nay for goats cheese. The stinkiness of it puts me right off so I was not expecting to like these popcorn but it turned out to be highly addictive. The cheese flavour is nice and salty and actually deliciously pungent. These went really quickly and I was sad to reach the end of the bag. These popcorn come in 4 different flavours, so I'll be looking out for this in the supermarket.
Tabasco sweet and sticky barbecue sauce and marinade. I was expecting this BBQ sauce to be sickly sweet like they usually are, but it had a fantastic smokiness to it along with a mild chilli kick and a savoury note. It's been enhanced with their chipotle sauce so that explains the smokiness. This is how a good BBQ sauce should taste like and not just full of sugar. I used the marinade for some chicken thighs and they made for some tasty wraps.
Oloves. I love olives, especially flavoured ones like this chilli and oregano one. They're in perfect little pouches for taking to work as a snack.
Fentiman's sparkling lime and jasmine. So deliciously refreshing, I loved the floral notes from the jasmine tea combined with the refreshing and zingy lime. Not too sweet either which is perfect for me.
Dorset cereals birchir muesli. I don't usually like muesli but this one is made with finely milled oats which gives it a smoother texture which I liked. The dried fruit in it gives just the right amount of sweetness too.
Rakusen's plain & gluten free crackers. These crackers are less than 1% fat and in diddy sizes. The textures of the plain and gluten free one tastes quite different from each other with the gluten free one being harder and crunchier. They're alright but I won't be repurchasing in a hurry.
Clipper Tea. I never knew that lime and ginger together was so refreshing. A lovely tea to enjoy in the afternoon.
NutriPot. These are high protein meals in a pot that are low in saturated fats, no added sugar, artificial colours or preservatives. I really wanted to like them due to their high nutritional value but I found them quite horrid. Not enough flavour and just boring.
Get More Multivitamin drink. It tasted like a lighter version of 7-up but it has the added goodness of vitamins.
Mahou Cinco Estrellas beer. Made in Madrid with 126 years of history. Our friend enjoyed this very much with his tortilla wraps, since I'm not drinking alcohol.
Geeta's curry pastes and mango chutney. I haven't got round to trying these yet but they'll make a great quick weekday dinner.
If you fancy trying a Degustabox for yourself, you can now get it with a huge discount! For £6.99 every month, Degustabox will send you 9-15 items of great food and drink to be enjoyed over the month, some of which can't be easily found in our supermarkets, so it's a great way to discover new things. Make sure you use the discount code BLDEG15 at checkout and only pay £6.99 instead of the usual £12.99!


Sleep Deprivation Sessions, released in 2009 as part 2 of a double concept album. Part 2: "Sleep Deprivation Sessions" contains two dark ambient tracks that were created while experimenting with sleep deprivation techniques. Click here for part 1: "Sensory Deprivation Sessions".
Both parts of the album are over an hour long. Each part has a shorter ambient track as an introduction and a long atmospheric piece that is a deep exploration of the concept.
The album has received some 15.000 downloads on Mininova.


In this day and age, being Plain Jane is not something that a lot of women aspire for anymore. Women today would rather be something more powerful, dominant and useful to the society. I think it's great that stars and celebrities are not just plain pretty faces but are symbols of independence and empowerment for other women, too. Here are some of the most stylish and influential women to look up to.
EMMA WATSON – Emma is a great role model for all the young ladies who have followed her since her rise to stardom as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. Today, Emma is spearheading advocacies for women left and right and is also supporting other worthy causes. As far as style goes, I love that she always dresses smart but still manages to make it age-appropriate.
KARLIE KLOSS – Victoria's Secret Angel Karlie Kloss made the news headlines a while back when she gave up her wings to pursue her education and I think that's a pretty awesome thing any woman can do for herself and an even more awesome way to empower and inspire women. Karlie's style off duty is very chic, casual and relaxed. Her street style outfits are always on point, too.
ANGELINA JOLIE – ah, the lady who has it all. Angelina supports many causes, foundations, organizations and advocacies and she has showed the world how women can be strong, independent and all and still be a great wife and an amazing mom. Angie's style is very elegant and sophisticated – a perfect style icon for all the classy ladies out there.
BEYONCE – she ain't the Queen for nothing. Beyonce is one of the most influential women in Hollywood and undoubtedly one of the most stylish, too. Her music videos are always filled with fashion inspiration and her looks – from the red carpet to date nights with the hubby Jay-Z – are always ultra chic.
AMAL CLOONEY – a lot of people knew Amal Clooney as one of the strongest, most empowered and inspiring women even before she married Mr. Clooney. She is one of the best power dressers in fashion as well.
TAYLOR SWIFT – anyone who likes good music and fab style is surely a fan of Taylor. Aside from being such a talented lass, Taylor is also one of the many women in Hollywood who are changing the world with one little act of kindness at a time. Tay's style is fresh, young and hip but it's also very chic and sophisticated and, at times, she even pulls off being the queen of retro.

Editors' Notes
The newly revamped Warwick in San Francisco.
Following an $8-million renovation, The Warwick in San Francisco now has a new look. The storied property, located two blocks from Union Square, was originally established in 1913 and designed by renowned architect Arthur J. Brown (creative genius behind landmarks such as Coit Tower and City Hall). Revamped by UXUS Design Firm (with offices in both the Netherlands and New York), the newly appointed 74-room hotel features modern guestrooms and suites layered in soft gray and blue tones, original Baroque-inspired headboards, antique mirrored armoires, and geometric-printed accent pillows and wallpaper. Other hints of the past include historic photographs procured from the San Francisco Public Library peppered throughout the hotel. Guests at the hotel can take advantage of a long list of amenities from a house car for morning meetings in the Financial District, to a pillow and technology menu, and a Kids welcome package. The hotel also offers on-site California-inspired eatery Aveline, headed up by Top Chef contestant and Executive Chef Casey Thompson, and The European Bar, with specialty cocktails such as the Royal Highball with cognac and strawberries and the Can Can crafted with Irish whiskey, maple, lavender, and bitters.

Deciding what movie to watch on a Friday night after a long week of work can be tricky. Comedy? Drama? In the mood to get scared? Flipping through the tabs of streaming services, there are an overwhelming amount of choices. After hovering over a tab that looks interesting, some people notice that it isn't in English. They then click off it to find something else. The perception of "I don't feel like reading" is a sad excuse for not turning on the international film. Great watching opportunities were missed because of the hesitation to not want to glance at the dialogue. It may sound silly, but it shouldn't be thought of as reading. When you're driving down the street and see the traffic signs and road signs, it's not like picking up a book and reading. It's letting the person know what's going on and where they are heading. The subtitles are an aide to the main visual action that is simultaneously occurring on screen.

It only takes one film to get used to subtitles throughout a film. Even in Hollywood films, there are moments where subtitles are used because the characters may be visiting a different country or mouthing something to a person across the room. The main point is that subtitles are not a new thing and it doesn't take much effort to read and watch at the same time.
It isn't news that Hollywood is the heart of the film industry. People fleeing their hometowns to try to make it big in Los Angles and be up on the big screen. It's true that entertainment is constantly getting pumped out of the city and many cities across the country, but it's easy to forget there are other countries' own versions of Hollywood. Though not as prominent, international cinema creates sometimes even more content than Hollywood and phenomenal content, to say the least. Looking into other country's cinema, like France, Korea, Japan, or India; there is so much to explore. Not only the cultural differences that are displayed but how they tell a story. Bollywood is known for its bright colors and fast-paced musical numbers, while France isn't afraid to show the human body and tell a story slowly. There isn't a cookie-cutter way of making a movie that Hollywood invented, so exploring what is outside La La Land can be life-changing.

A multiple academy award winner including Best Picture and Best Director in 2019, Bong Joon-Ho wrote and directed this drama thriller with the perfect amount of comedy. With one of the most shocking plot twists in recent history, 'Parasite' was a box office hit around the world. An international film from South Korea that perfectly shows the class struggle in an entertaining way. Following a low-class family that takes interest in an upscale family and slowly infiltrates until an unexplainable event occurs. This film has been an eye-opener for many people and is the first non-English film they've ever seen and have zero regrets! Still ranked number one on Letterboxd top 250 rated narratives with an average of 4.5 stars!
Available for streaming on Hulu.
If horror is up your alley, then this film is the best introduction to international films. This Sundance selection directed by Julia Ducournau horrified fans in theaters. 'Raw' is a French film that follows a first-year vet student whose whole family are vets and vegetarians. During her first week of intense hazing, she must eat raw meat to show her loyalty. After the intense meal, she begins to learn new things about herself that she never thought was possible. French cinema is known for taking things too far and this film wins with disturbing scenes. As a huge horror fan myself, I had to look away during a specific scene, but an overall thrilling watch.

Translating to hatred, 'La Haine' is a hard-hitting drama that is still extremely relatable today. Another French film directed by Mathieu Kassovitz takes place in Paris. This black and white film was the first international film that I have ever seen and it is the reason I fell in love with non-English films. After an intense night of rioting, a group of friends are waiting for news after one of their friends were injured after confronting the police. There isn't a better time to watch this and again shows that police brutality is a problem across many countries. From the start of the film, it hooks the viewer in and keeps them on their toes.
Available to stream on Amazon.
Now, this selection is not live-action, but one of the most popular anime films. For people who are not big fans of the anime genre, this is not only the perfect introduction to the world of anime but also a good opportunity to have subtitles. Since that it is an animation, there are English dubbed versions of the film, but it is a more authentic experience to watch it how it was intended in Japanese. Famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki has an impressive reel, 'Spirited Away' being the most popular. Telling the story of a young girl who becomes trapped in a new world where her parents are transformed into animals and she must dive into the world to free them. A definite watch and easy transition to international cinema.
Available to stream on HBO Max.

Based on the true story of Ramón Sampedro, a seaman who became quadriplegic after a devastating diving accident at the young age of 25. He spent the rest of his life fighting for his right to have an assisted suicide. 'The Sea Inside' directed by Alejandro Amenabar and stars Javier Bardem, a heartbreaking portrayal of this moving story. Taking place in Spain, this film is completely in Spanish making it stick more closely with the true story. There are many times where it almost feels confusing that characters are speaking English and not their native language, but this story is crucial to be heard and told in Spanish. A tear-jerker, but beautifully told of an issue that is not discussed enough.
There is an overwhelming amount of content on streaming services across all the platforms, but don't skip the international films! Only recognizing international films because they were nominated for an Oscar doesn't cut it anymore. If interested in a film and seeing that it isn't in English shouldn't stop anyone from putting it on. Too many missed opportunities to discover new directors, actors, and writers. These films listed above are only the beginning of a wonderful world of international cinema.

by Mike Evers on February 04, 2021
02/10/21 Update: Bioventus announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 8 million shares at a price of $13.00 per share. The company expects gross proceeds of $104 million, or $119.6 million should the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full. The offering is expected to close on February 16, 2021.
Bioventus announced its second IPO try today with an initial public offering of its Class A common stock targeting $100 million in proceeds. The company offered 7.35 million shares at an expected price between $16 and $18 per share, and will trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol BVS.
This is Bioventus' second attempt at an IPO after the company registered for a $150 million initial public offering in July 2016, only to postpone it a few months later.
Today's announcement comes with Bioventus in a stronger financial position compared to 2016, despite the effects of the pandemic. The company reported $222.6 million in revenue for the first nine months of 2020, -8.3% compared to the prior year. Despite this decline, Bioventus outperformed the overall orthobiologics market, where we projected 2020 declines in the low to mid teens. Additionally, the company reported net earnings of $12.5 million through September 2020.

History of Mount Cotton & Sheldon: Mount Cotton was named by surveyor Robert Dixon, after the commandant of the penal settlement of Moreton Bay, Major Sydney Cotton. Maize was the first crop grown and this was closely followed by sugar. Bananas later became a staple crop and many Chinese people were involved in this industry until the turn of the century. The name Sheldon originated from the village of the same name in Devonshire, United Kingdom. Sheldon and surrounding suburbs form part of South-East Queensland's largest koala protection zones and plays a vital part in the preservation of Queensland's koala population.
Things to Do: Venman Bushland National Park has been a popular Brisbane recreation area for decades. It was originally private property owned by local Jack Burnett Venman (1911–1994). Today, this 415 ha park forms part of the Koala Bushland Coordinated Conservation Area and is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing.
Landmark: In our opinion the Sirromet Winery would have to be the landmark of the Mount Cotton – Sheldon area. Established in 2000, Sirromet is a family owned company proud to present premium Australian wines from the Granite Belt region in South East QLD.
Shopping: Local shops, including Eateries, Chemist, Hairdressers, Bottle Shop and Convenience Stores. The closest major Shopping Centre's are in the nearby suburbs of Victoria Point and Capalaba.
Restaurants & Cafes: Mount Cotton and Sheldon's Restaurant and Café options continue to grow with the area. Our favourite would have to be Sirromet Winery.
Sports and Fitness: There is an abundance of cycle and walkways throughout Mount Cotton to cater for all the family.
Transport: Mount Cotton offers multiple bus stops that link to local shops and or to the City.


Combining contemporary and nation home plans can mean combining rustic materials comparable to slate flooring, uncovered ceiling beams, and kitchens with up to date stainless-steel appliances , plastic laminated cupboards , glass shelving and butcher block countertops. The final result is a contemporary kitchen which is serviceable and has a cozy , rustic feel. Contemporary design is about smooth surfaces equivalent to glass and stainless-steel , and using daring colors.
Before we go down to the precise theme of contemporary house plans, you must know the essential features of a modern household. For starters up to date house plan has large home windows to provide a light and cozy atmosphere, high ceilings, flexible and steady floor plan to accommodate modern furniture and fixtures; and utilization of modern materials, such as glass, steel , vinyl, stone, marble, and so on.
House designs are powerful symbols that you should utilize to create a press release to the world on who you are. Buildings have a long lifespan and will proceed communicating your statement to the world lengthy after your departure. Home designs are also a mark of self-actualization.
Mid-Century Modern house plans are rising in popularity from New York to LA and in all places in between. These plans embody historic Eichler designs from the Sixties, as well as latest home plans inspired by the long-lasting `Case Research ` modern houses in Los Angeles of the late Forties and early 1950s. Led by Dwell magazine , the mid century aesthetic of open plans, large home windows and minimal detailing is rising as one of many key design traits of the early 21st century.

Measuring household stress: Multi-Sector Coping Strategy Index (mCSI) for Afghanistan
MCSI tools and Guidelines 573.34 KB
Measuring household stress: Development of Contextualised multi-Sector Coping Strategy Index (mCSI) for Afghanistan 1.47 MB
Paper author:
Madhu Subedi
Paper publication date:
Humanitarian aid agencies need a multi-sector method for estimating overall levels of household stress for targeting humanitarian assistance, as well as monitoring the effect of material and cash grants and other forms of aid.
However, detailed multi-sectoral assessments can be extremely lengthy (and therefore costly), complicated in generating reliable data, and time-consuming. In addition, emergency assessments need to be done rapidly (and must be repeated and updated frequently). As a result, the use of detailed and comprehensive methodologies is often not possible. Humanitarian aid agencies, therefore, rely largely on proxy-indicators when undertaking needs assessments. In the case of food security, or other abstract concepts that can't be measured directly (such as women's empowerment or governance), the use of proxy indicators is the only option available. Humanitarian aid agencies are therefore increasingly attracted towards using the Coping Strategy Index (CSI), which measures forms of household (or individual) stress through the frequency and severity of behaviours undertaken in response to stresses faced.
Oxfam in Afghanistan with co-funding support from ECHO has developed a multi-sector coping strategies index (mCSI) which aims to assess the need and monitor the impact of diverse and multi-sector humanitarian interventions. The study was done in consultation with different humanitarian clusters and agencies and technical groups, and field studies were conducted in Nangarhar, Herat, Kunduz, Kandahar and Kabul provinces using both qualitative and quantitative methods to verify its validity as a proxy of overall household stress.
The CSI was first developed to assess the household food security situation. A coping strategy is an action taken (strategy adopted) by households/individuals when shocks push them beyond the difficulties faced in "normal" times. The index then is a set of questions about the strategies households adapt to cope with the situation of insufficient food. From this origin, the use and analysis of variations of Coping Strategy Indexes have been expanded to measure responses to stress across several domains. A CSI is composed of indicators designed to assess household practices to mitigate, or respond to, stresses faced.
The tool is especially intended for use in cash, market-based or integrated programming with a potential impact and relevance across a number of sectors in Afghanistan.

By DOUG PADILLA
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Shohei Ohtani hit a homer in the eighth inning to get the Angels' offense started, and Taylor Ward hit a game-ending two-run blast to right-center in the 11th inning as Los Angeles completed a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
It was Ward's second career game-ending home run, and first since the final game of the 2018 season, as the Angels won for the fourth time in five games.
Carlos Correa hit a home and Luis Arraez had three hits for the Twins, who blew a three-run lead in the eighth inning and remained 1 1/2 games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central.
Down to their last strike, the Angels nearly rallied for the victory in the bottom of the ninth against Twins closer Jorge Lopez. Magneuris Sierra's two-out hit down the left-field line scored both Joe Adell and pinch-runner Andrew Velazquez to tie the game at 3. But Sierra was thrown out at home plate in his attempt at a game-winning inside-the-park home run.
"It was really an emotional play right there that saved us the game," Lopez said of the brief respite. "I'm just grateful for that moment to execute the (relay). There was gratitude to have that moment and to have the opportunity (to continue playing). But I should have executed a better pitch and I just let the team down a little bit."
The Angels then blew an opportunity to win the game in the 10th inning with Sierra on third base and Ohtani on first after an intentional walk with one out. Luis Rengifo lined out to center on a diving catch by Byron Buxton. Ohtani was running on the pitch and he was doubled off first base to end the inning.
But Ward won it with his 16th home run of the season, and the Angels had their third walk-off win this year.
"Unbelievable," Ward said. "It feels really good. I was super happy. ... It was huge. You never know what it can do for us."
Correa gave the Twins a 1-0 lead two batters into the game when he lifted a 2-1 fastball from Angels starter Reid Detmers into the seats in right-center field. It was his 14th home run of the season and first since July 30.
The Twins loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth inning and took a 2-0 lead on a Correa sacrifice fly to right field. But Detmers escaped further damage when he struck out Jose Miranda and Jorge Polanco.
Minnesota tacked on a run in the eighth inning for a 3-0 advantage when Gio Urshela's chopper in front of the plate scored Polanco.
In the eighth inning, Ohtani ended the Twins' shutout bid and 17-inning scoreless streak when he hit a home run just out of the reach of Minnesota center fielder Buxton. It was Ohtani's 26th of the season and fourth in his last nine games.
The Angels started their ninth-inning rally against Lopez when Adell singled with one out. Max Stassi worked a two-out walk before he was replaced on the bases by Velazquez. Sierra punched a 1-2 pitch into the left-field corner for a game-tying triple but was unable to score after the ball bounced away from Minnesota left fielder Nick Gordon.
"I always dream about having a walk-off homer," Sierra said through an interpreter about his lack of a home run in 250 career major league games over parts of six seasons. "When I was rounding second, I was thinking, `I'm going to make it. I'm going to make my dream come true.' And then, I couldn't."
Twins starter Dylan Bundy gave up just two hits with one walk and a strikeout in his first start against his former team since pitching for Los Angeles from 2020-21. Emilio Pagan (3-6) gave up Ward's home run in the 11th.
Detmers gave up five hits with three walks and nine strikeouts and now has 28 strikeouts over his last three starts. Six Angels pitchers combined to record 15 strikeouts, with Ryan Tepera (3-2) earning the win.
IN THE SWING
Angels star Mike Trout took batting practice for the first time since he went on the injured list July 18 because of rib cage inflammation. The session came a day after Trout went through on-field running and throwing drills.
There remains no timetable for the return of the three-time AL MVP, with a minor league rehab assignment likely before he is back in the Angels' lineup.
Trout, a career .303 hitter with a 1.000 OPS, has 24 home runs and 51 RBIs in 79 games this season.
Twins: RHP Chris Archer (2-5, 4.02 ERA) takes the mound with a 2.50 ERA against the Angels in 54 innings.
Angels: LHP Tucker Davidson (1-3, 7.91) will make his first home start for his new club after he was acquired from the Braves on Aug. 2.


This 11-year-old male had a 3-year history of a slowly growing painless left leg mass, first noticed after trauma. Physical examination revealed a fixed mass in the left leg with no skin changes or ulceration noted. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lesion revealed a subfascial well-circumscribed lesion with intramuscular extension in the medial gastrocnemius muscle of the left leg. Clinicoradiological findings could not exclude sarcoma.
Excision was performed, and the specimen measured 3×1×0.5 cm. Gross examination showed a multinodular whitish cut surface. Microscopic examination revealed a moderately cellular tumor with focal infiltration of the surrounding muscle and fatty tissue. On low power, the tumor was characterized by multinodular pattern and extensive sclerosis. Most of the cells were arranged in a reticular pattern and were embedded in the abundant myxoid stroma. Characteristic small dark nuclei with narrow rim of eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged in strands and cords were observed. Some foci demonstrating round cells with a more primitive appearance and lesser amounts of myxoid matrix were also observed. In addition, cytoplasmic vacuolization of the tumor cells was focally present. Mitoses were rarely observed, and necrosis was not identified.
Immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), desmin, S100, CD99, CD117, INI-1, and Ki67 was performed. The tumor cells were positive for S100. Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 was positive focally in scattered cells. EMA, desmin, CD99, and CD117 were negative. INI-1 protein was retained in the tumor cells, and Ki67 labeling index reached about 10% in some areas. Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma was the preferred diagnosis. Possible radiotherapy was the further management plan.
Informed written consent was obtained from the patient's family for publication of this case report and accompanying images.

A community portal about Obesity with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and other mammals, is increased to a point where it is a risk factor for certain health conditions or increased mortality. Obesity develops from the interaction of individual biology and the environment. Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health problem.


Diane and I had a fun, crazy day chasing around the fashion & performance art students of Elisava on La Ramba, led by Alex Murray-Leslie from Chicks on Speed, yesterday evening. Afterwards, we retired to the roof of Diane's hotel for a chic supper. The restaurant is called Mimosa and it's designed by Patricia Urquiola.
We loved the deconstructed cheesecake, served with cubes of watermelon topped with tiny marshmallows and an oval scoop of watermelon ice cream.


Finally, it's time to pack your suitcase for some well-earned fun in the sun. After a very long winter, you get to break out those brightly-coloured shorts and your favourite bikini. You're about to set off for the cruise of a lifetime when suddenly you realise that you forgot to wax! Rather than dragging a jar full of wax, fabric strips and a spatula with you, why not opt for some cold wax strips instead? They're a welcome travel companion since all that's needed is a pulling strip containing pre-applied wax. Let's take a quick look at cold waxing. Once you're finished, you'll wonder how you survived the summer without it.
Prepare your skin by exfoliating two days in advance using a loofah or body scrub. Cold wax strips will adhere to the surface of the skin much easier if it's smooth. After you've dried your skin, firmly press the strip down in the direction of hair growth. Next, make the skin above the strip taut before pulling the strip off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Repeat until you've removed all of the hair. Clean off any excess wax with a wipe, or baby oil.
Cold waxing can be a much more comfortable way to wax - especially during warm weather. Wax strips are quick to apply, stick easily to short hair and can be removed after just a few seconds. It's also a less messy option than warm waxing, as the strips can be disposed of easily. Cold waxing is also perfect for smaller hard-to-reach contours of the body such as the bikini line. The strip pieces can be cut to fit a specific area of the body and the same strip can be reused repeatedly until it loses its grip.
When it comes to cold waxing, there's often a sticky residue left behind on the skin after application. Cold wax strips don't always take the hair from the root the first time around and sometimes need re-application.1 This repeated use can be inconvenient, and might mean an increased likelihood of irritation if you have sensitive skin.2 Veet Natural Inspiration Wax Stripsspecially formulated with Aloe Vera, known for its hydrating and skin-soothing qualities. The handy Easy Grip™ tab helps you remove hair from the roots with ease.
As you can tell, cold waxing works wonders if you're pressed for time but want smooth, stubble-free skin. The strips are so convenient that you could even use them on a plane journey if you're brave enough! Cold waxing is the least messy option when compared to warm waxing. Wax strips can also be cut to fit any hard-to-reach areas of the body. So take the hassle out of hair removal and the worry out of waxing by using cold wax. Your suitcase will thank you for it!

14 AUG 2005 Report
Event Report - Women Javelin Throw Final
Menendez wins gold with world record
Maybe there was something in the air, but this was obviously a night for javelin throwing. How appropriate that at last, on the last night – the calmest evening of the entire championships – Finland should finally live up to its name as the land of the javelin.
Not only did Olympic champion Osleidys Menendez regain her world title by breaking her own world record – with a massive first round throw of 71.70 that effectively killed off the competition – but in the very next round Germany's Christina Obergfoll set a new European record of 70.03, making her the second longest thrower of all time. It was five metres longer than she has ever thrown before.
This was already the best javelin competition ever. And it had only just begun.
Germany's Steffi Nerius had laid down an early marker whipping her very first throw out to 65.96. In the end that turned out only to be good enough for bronze.
Finland's Tarvainen got the crowd going by also exceeding 60 metres, throwing a season's best of 62.64 for second place. But it was at the end of the round when the competition's great moment came.
Menendez settled all questions of the Gold medal with her very first effort. Drawn to throw last of the 12 competitors, she took her customary short run-up and launched her spear out beyond the 70 metre mark – way beyond.
After a few moments wait the distance appeared on the in field board, 71.70. Game over. With another five rounds of the competition still to come the battle was already for the minor medals.
Only Britain's Fatima Whitbread in 1987, with a completely different type of javelin, has ever thrown further to win the gold. Menendez ran to the trackside and grabbed a Cuban flag to wave for the eager photographers.
No one else in the world has ever thrown over 70 metres with the current model. No one was going to do it here. Were they?
Obergfoll's unbelievable effort came in the very next round. Now it was her turn to jump in the air and put her hands over her mouth. She passed the next round, overcome with emotion at what she had achieved.
Minutes later Denmark's Christina Scherwin improved her national record by more than half a metre to 62.32. Within just two rounds we'd already had a world record, an area record and a national record.
The only disappointment for the javelin-mad Finns was that at the half way stage their girl – Paula Tarvainen – had been pushed back to fourth place after initially lying second, and their old favourite, the 1995 bronze medallist Mikaela Ingberg, finished ninth and was eliminated.
Scherwin did it again in the fourth round – pushing her Danish record out by another metre to 63.43, good enough for fourth place. Nerius, who'd topped the qualifying competition and taken an early lead in the final was now hanging on to the bronze.
Obergfoll passed rounds four and five while Menendez had two more over 60, one of which was 65.53. But the positions were unchanged at the start of the final round.
Zahra Bani caught the habit in the sixth round, throwing the fifth personal best of the night, 62.75, to push Tarvainen down to sixth. The Finn had one final chance to get a medal but she'd need to throw longer than she ever had before. It didn't happen.
Obergfoll had one last go but it was a half-hearted attempt. Menendez didn't even bother.
It may not have been a good night for Finland; but it was a good night for javelin all right.

El gastrinoma es un tipo de tumor poco frecuente que se origina en las células no - beta del páncreas y se comporta de forma maligna en más de la mitad de los casos. Tienen la particularidad de producir gastrina, sustancia que estimula la secreción de ácido por las células parietales del estómago, lo cual origina la aparición de múltiples úlceras tanto en estómago como en duodeno. Este cuadro clínico se conoce como síndrome de Zollinger-Ellison.

El síndrome de Zollinger-Ellison se caracteriza por la aparición de varias úlceras en el tracto digestivo que pueden localizarse en lugares poco habituales y responden mal al tratamiento. Suele existir asimismo diarrea, pues el exceso de ácido inactiva las enzimas producidas por el páncreas para hacer posible la digestión.

Los gastrinomas son de tamaño muy variable que puede oscilar entre 0.1  y 20 cm, aunque lo más frecuente es que sean pequeños. En muchas ocasiones tienen una localización múltiple y pueden observarse también en estómago, hígado, bazo y ovario. En el 25% de los casos forman parte de una enfermedad más compleja que  se conoce como neoplasia endocrina múltiple.

Signos y síntomas
El gastrinoma en las primeras etapas tendrá signos y síntomas de indigestión o similares a la enfermedad del intestino irritable (EII), como:

Hipergastrinemia
 Úlceras del duodeno, estómago e intestino delgado.
 Diarrea severa .
 Síntomas generalizados de cáncer.
 Dolor y sangrado en las heces.
 Obstrucción del intestino.
 Pérdida de peso/falta de apetito
 Anemia (debido a malabsorción de vitamina B12 y sangrado)
 Hematemesis
 Enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico
 Complicaciones esofágicas ( esófago de Barrett, esofagitis , formación de estenosis) [9]
 vómitos
 Esteatorrea

What's in a name?…Seven Dials…
by exploringlondon April 28, 2014
Standing at the junction of seven streets in London's West End is a pillar topped with six – that's right, six – sundials, giving the intersection and the surrounding area its name.
The layout of the area was originally designed by Thomas Neale, an MP and entrepreneur, in the early 1690s – it was part of the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666 – and initially had the pillar standing at the centre of six streets before it was later increased to seven. The streets which radiate out from the hub include Earlham, Mercer and Monmouth Streets and Shorts Gardens.
While Neale, who designed the street layout to maximise street frontages and thus his return, had hoped the area would attract the well-to-do, it was not be and by the 19th century the area had become one of the cities most notorious slums, considered part of the infamous rookery of St Giles.
That has since changed and today the area is at the heart of a bustling commercial district, the streets which run off it housing stylish shops and offices.
The pillar itself apparently never had seven faces – there is the suggestion that the column itself was the seventh – and while the original column was removed in 1773, apparently by city authorities keen to rid the area of undesirables, it was replaced with a replica column in the late 1980s and unveiled by Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands to commemorate the tercentenary of the reign of King William III and Queen Mary II in June, 1989.
The original column, meanwhile, was apparently first acquired by an architect, James Paine, who kept it at his house in Surrey, before, in 1820, being taken to Weybridge where, in 1820, the column was re-erected as a memorial to Princess Frederica, Duchess of York (who had lived there). The dial-stone, meanwhile, was used as a mounting block before eventually being placed outside the Weybridge Library.

Where's London's oldest…bridge over the Thames?
by exploringlondon October 22, 2012 October 22, 2012
While there's been a bridge over the River Thames near where London Bridge now stands since Roman times, the bridge which is currently there was built in the early 1970s. To find Greater London's oldest surviving bridge across the Thames we have to head to Richmond in the city's west.
The 300 foot long stone arch bridge, made from Portland stone, was built between 1774-77 and replaced a ferry crossing between Richmond to the east and East Twickenham to the west (this had apparently been in operation since shortly after the Norman Conquest and at the time it was discontinued consisted of two vessels – a passenger craft and a 'horse boat').
Designed by James Paine and Kenton Couse and built by Thomas Kerr, the bridge features five arches including a 60 foot wide central span which was big enough for larger watercraft and gave the bridge its rather humpbacked appearance. Its construction was privately funded with the £26,000 required to build the bridge partly raised via tontine schemes under which subscribers paid an agreed sum into a fund after which they each receive an annuity, the value of which increases as members of the fund die off.
Initially a toll bridge (the tolls – which were 1/2d for passengers and up to 2s 6d for coaches drawn by six horses – were ended in 1859 when the last tontine shareholder died), the bridge was widened in the late 1930s but – now a Grade I listed structure – remains essentially true to its original design.
It was the eighth bridge to be built across the the Thames in Greater London but is now the oldest still standing (among those which predated it but have been demolished are London Bridge, Westminster Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge) and has been featured in paintings by the likes of Thomas Rowlandson, John Constable and JMW Turner.

Q: PCL 1.6.0 and Qt 5.5.0 I have an old project that uses Qt (with a mainform.ui) and PCL that I want to reactivate. On my Win7-machine, I have PCL 1.6.0, 32 bit, MSVC 2010 (from the standalone installer), Qt 5.5.0 (not sure what version exactly, the included QtCreator says: 3.4.2, MSVC 2013, 32 bit) and Qt 4.8.5 (I think 32 bit, MSVC 2010) installed. Interestingly, Qt 4.8.5 does not include qtcreator..
Is it possible to use PCL 1.6.0 with my Qt 5.5.0 installation? Because here it says that Qt 4.8.0 is needed and I am afraid to mix up MSVC 2010 and MSVC 2013. Is my fear justified? And if so, why? Or if not, why not?
If I cant use Qt 5.5.0, can I use my Qtcreator from Qt 5.5.0 with my Qt 4.8.5 installation? If so, how?

A: If PCL 1.6.0 requires qt4.8.0 it might not work with qt5.5.0 since the include paths have been modified between the two versions and some functions have been removed/moved/renamed.
See : https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5
If you are using the QTVsAddin and you setup your qt versions properly, you should not have a problem living with both versions (I had both versions on my computer for a while). However, qt 4.8.5 is not directly compiled for VS2013 and qt4 VsAddin is not compatible with VS2013 as far as I know. Though you might not need it :

Having damaged teeth is never ideal. They can be painful, cause other dental problems, and even lead to tooth loss eventually. It's best to address the cause and concern as soon as possible with a quick, effective dental restoration. Thankfully, we offer same day dental restorations because we decided to set ourselves apart from the rest. Here at Smiles in Springfield, you can be confident that your dentist will help you restore the stability and aesthetics of your smile with the investments we've made in our office: modern CEREC technology.
CEREC is an acronym that stands for "Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics." That's quite a mouthful, but the technology actually employs a pretty simple concept. We have an in-house ceramic milling unit in our office, which uses the data we send to it to create your new crown or bridge right away.
Here at Smiles in Springfield, we understand why dental restorations should be quick and convenient to receive. Many practices have used crowns and bridges for years and years to help restore the health of damaged teeth—but using outdated technology can prolong a patient's recovery, causing discomfort and frustration. Although these dental restorations are tried and true, we take pride in our innovative approach to restoring teeth with same day dental restorations.
Not only will you get your crown in a single appointment, but you'll also save the time it would normally take to install and remove a temporary crown. After taking images of your damaged tooth, your new dental crown is milled right here at our Springfield office, and we place it during your same dental appointment!
CEREC porcelain crowns deliver a high level of quality and last just as long as their lab-made counterparts.
Porcelain closely resembles the look of natural teeth, which means you won't have to put up with the unattractiveness of a metal crown. Even the shade of the dental ceramic will be crafted to match the shade of your natural teeth. Your restorations will look and feel like your remaining teeth.
The cost of CEREC crowns is comparable to that of traditional, lab-made crowns. Most insurance companies are willing to help pay for same-day restorations.
If you need a new crown, the first thing we'll have to do is prepare your tooth (or teeth). We might have to file it a bit or fill it in so it is both strong enough and the right shape to support your crown. Then, we'll use an advanced camera to take a digital impression of your teeth — there won't be any messy goop for you to deal with.
The data from the digital impression goes to our CEREC unit, which creates your beautiful, custom crown or bridge. The dentist will then make any necessary final adjustments to it before it gets installed in your mouth. After that, you're free to go off and show the world your restored smile!
Why wait weeks for a crown if you don't have to? If you'd like to learn more about CEREC, please contact us so we can further acquaint you with the marvels of this wonderful technology.

To decide which dental restoration is best for you, the best thing that you can do is visit our office for a consultation with Dr. Tran or Dr. Grimmer. Our friendly office team would be more than happy to schedule an appointment right away—you might just receive your restoration the same day!


In silico diagnosis through microRNA expression profiling experiments is a promising direction in the clinical practices of bioinformatics science. The task is computationally defined as a classification problem where a query experiment is required to be assigned into one of the predefined diseases using a learned model from previously labeled samples. While several powerful machine learning models exist to perform this task, the challenging issue is how to feed these models by effectively encoded samples. This encoding requires a sensible representation of experiment content. In contrast to previous data-driven representations based on observed differential expressions of individual miRNAs, we offer here a network-driven representation scheme that considers the active interactions of miRNAs with other entities in either direction of gene regulation, i.e. regulating or being regulated. We use the enrichment scores of the miRNA sets annotated by corresponding interaction elements to encode the input experiments. We have empirically shown that the new encoding can lead to a higher disease classification accuracy compared with the traditional data-driven approach.


Luke Perry passed away at 52-year-old this week after suffering a major stroke. He left behind worlds of memories and what is going to happen on even a huge show like Riverdale where he had a lead role isn't even a consideration in a time of mourning like this.
Christian paid some huge respects to Perry during E&C's Pod Of Awesomeness. He told a story about how much 90210 meant to him as he started his career in pro wrestling. Captain Charisma was able to tell Perry how much it meant to him years later and it was an encounter that he will never forget.
Christian said when you meet someone that you idolize you can only hope that they turn out to be like Luke Perry.
The world is not even beginning to really understand how much Luke Perry will be missed as he was taken far too soon. During his life, he touched millions of people through his years in the entertainment business. His legacy is just getting started as his son now continues in the pro wrestling business which is a sport that they both loved so much.

Open from all aspects, their concept for Four Frogs lets the aroma of their crepes out, enticing customers in!
Headed up by Alexandra Morris, MorrisCo Design was established in 2008. Alexandra was born into a family of restauranteurs, so it is not surprising that the consultancy is especially known for their work in the hospitality sector. She has applied her passion for food and wine into the numerous restaurants and cafés she has designed, though the consultancy has also designed a number of retail concepts.
Our favourite project is for gourmet butcher and homewares store, 1888 Certified, which with its fine food and retail offer, transcends both sectors. The agricultural vernacular with the use of recycled timber and cobbled flooring gives credibility to the brand's sustainable and ethical 'field to fork' ethos, and their selection of homewares further endorses this. While the letterbox apertures in the grey brick walls at the back of the store, allow clear views into the prep rooms, enabling customers to see the craft of their butchering skills.
Like the client, their concept for Four Frogs, doesn't take itself too seriously. The crêperie which was founded by four French friends, features references to their homeland, without being too overt. The result is an open and welcoming restaurant and take away service.
Working with independents and smaller chains in their home market, MorrisCo Design has also completed hospitality projects for Tap, Espresso and Vine & Grind as well as retail projects for a number of bookstores, opticians, florists and health and beauty brands.
With each of their concepts there is a thoughtful sensitivity to the use of materials, never wanting to appear ersatz, their designs have a simple honesty that is refreshing to see. The clever use of graphics enhance the spaces, giving you a true sense of the brands' character and the integrity of their offer.


Gourmet Cold-Smoked Baby Sole – How to Make Cold-Smoked Sole with Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator.
Gourmet Cold-Smoked Baby Sole - How to Make Cold-Smoked Sole with Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator.
In today's episode we're going to use the Smoke Daddy cold smoke generator to flavor a batch of baby sole. The fish is first cold smoked, then pan-fried to perfection resulting in a truly gourmet fish dish subtly infused with apple wood smoke.
To start, place the butter, garlic powder and dried herbs in a heatproof bowl. Pop this in your microwave oven and melt the butter.
Pat the sole dry with kitchen paper.
Place a rack at an angle across the corners of a roasting pan, and transfer the sole to the rack. Brush both sides of the sole with the butter mixture.
Fire up your cold smoke generator and place the fish in the barbecue. Allow this to smoke for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes remove the sole from the barbecue. Heat a pan over medium high heat and add 30g of butter. Fry the sole for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the sole sole to serving platters and top with a little of the pan butter and lemon or lime wedges before serving with accompaniments of your choice.
Cape Malay Pickled Fish – Traditional Cape Town Kerrievis, a Delicious Summer Meal!!!
Cape Malay Pickled Fish - Traditional Cape Town Kerrievis, a Delicious Summer Meal!!!
Cape Malay Pickled Fish, or Kerrievis, is a traditional South African Malay dish. Served well-chilled, this pickled fish makes and amazing summer meal or starter course.
Combine the all purpose flour, salt, and ground white pepper.
Cut the fish fillets into large blocks then dredge them in the seasoned flour.
Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add 30g of butter. Fry the fish for 3 to 4 minutes, turning halfway. The fish should be crispy and well bronzed.
To make the pickling sauce, cut your onions in half length-ways and slice them into thin half rounds.
Combine the brown vinegar with the water and measure out the bay leaves, sugar, turmeric, curry powder, salt, black pepper corns and whole allspice.
In addition, dissolve the cornflour in a little water to make slurry.
Add the onions, all of the spices and vinegar solution to the pan over medium heat. Bring the pan to a boil, lower the heat and allow this to simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour in the cornflour slurry and continue to simmer for a minute or 2 until the sauce has thickened.
Place the fried fish in a non-reactive pan and pour the pickling sauce over the fish. Allow the pan to cool, cover the pan with cling-wrap and let the fish mature in the refrigerator for one to 2 days before serving.
The pickled fish will last for a few weeks under refrigeration if you can resist the temptation to eat it first. This allows you to process much bigger batches without the risk of spoilage by simply multiplying this recipe out.
