4 Must-See Places In Sardinia, Italy (and 15 Amazing Photos)
Arbatax's Rocce Rosse Sardinia, Italy
The second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and home to luxuriant vegetation, Sardinia, Italy, is a true miracle of nature.
Something particularly striking is the island's aspect in itself: mainly consisting of rocky coasts covered in plants in the most vibrant shades of green, it is surrounded from all sides by the emerald waters of the Mediterranean Sea, as if it were waiting to be drowned in them.
If you have decided to travel to the sunny lands of Sardinia, then here are four places you absolutely have to see:
1. Santuario e Basilica di Nostra Signora di Bonaria
Once you are in the capital of the island, Cagliari, if you go about one kilometer, approximately three-quarters of a mile, southeast of Via Roma, the Bonaria hill, home to the sanctuary built in honor of the Virgin Mary, will welcome you with its arms open.
The main attraction is Nostra Signora di Bonaria, the patroness of Sardinia, Italy, a wooden statue representing the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms that dates back to at least the 14th century. According to tradition, it miraculously landed on the beach in front of the Bonaria hill.
Legend has it that on 25 March 1370 a ship coming from Catalonia was caught in a storm and so the sailors decided to throw all cargo overboard. As soon as they threw the heavy box containing the statue into the sea, the storm suddenly abated.
Since then, devotion to Our Lady of Bonaria quickly spread over Sardinia, especially among seaman and fishermen who invoked her as their protector.
2. Archaelogical Site Su Nuraxi
A nuraghe is a Sardinian megalithic edifice dating back to more than 1000 BCE, and is nowadays regarded as one of the island's main symbols. Abandoned and inhabited for centuries in a row, the structure was excavated relatively late, in the 1950s'. The process took little over six years. Today, the tourists interested in its architecture can thoroughly inspect it, as it is the only completely excavated nuraghe in Sardinia.
3. Cattedrale di Santa Maria
Piazza Palazzo, the main square of Castello, one of Cagliari's main neighborhoods, is the place to go if you want to see the Cagliari Cathedral, also known as the Cattedrale di Santa Maria e Santa Cecilia.
Built in the 13th century in the clean Pisan-Romanesque style, it was modified several times across the ages, mainly due to the new conquerors and their native architectural designs. Today, the structure has a bit of them all: the Gothic columns —renovated in the 1930s', a Neo-Romanesque façade which aimed to resemble the old one, and the interior décor, enriched with baroque elements.
4. Museo Archeologico Nazionale
Imbued with tradition and a vibe of the past like no other, the archeological Museum in Sardinia is easily one of the most sought-after out there. Here, you can find everything a history buff would want to see, from the Nuraghic Bronze statues, to more recent Iron structures, as well as Phoenician and Roman artifacts.
For most visitors, Sardinia will feel like love at first sight. Goddesses standing tall alongside the thin layer of mosaic, memories of a yet to understand nuraghic period and gorgeous shores bathed in sun rays are just a few of the things that will lock your heart to this place.

Sometimes animal and bird names make complete sense. For example, red-headed woodpeckers have very red heads. In other cases you have to wonder what someone was thinking when they named that bird. One of the best examples we have here at Black Bayou is a Prothonotary Warbler.
People more commonly call them swamp warblers or, since these small birds are bright yellow, swamp canaries. For those of you who are curious, a prothonotary refers to an official in the Catholic Church who wore a bright yellow hood. There's a random fact for you trivia buffs.
More importantly for us though is that Louisiana supports approximately 25% of the entire world population of these little birds. Their numbers have been declining due to the loss of habitat. They don't spend all their life here – they come back in the spring, spend the summer here, and then head back south for the winter. Last year they tracked the first Louisiana prothonotary warbler on his migration, and he traveled over 5,000 miles and visited 7 countries before returning here to the state. A pretty amazing journey for such a small bird!
This Saturday, April 4th, Black Bayou Lake NWR will be co-hosting a workshop with Louisiana Audubon on these birds. We will be making nesting boxes for them that you can bring home with you. Even if you don't have these birds, other small birds like chickadees may use them. You will also have a chance to learn more about them and we will take a walk and hopefully spot some or at least hear them call. They have their own ideas so we never guarantee that.
The workshop will be from 9 – noon and is free. It's a busy day at Black Bayou. The Friends of Black Bayou will be hosting an open house from noon-4 and 7:00 PM we will be having a full moon walk/scavenger hunt. Come on out and enjoy nature! For questions you can call 387-1114.

Brenda specializes in representational paintings of people, animals, places and objects, with side trips into fantasy and imagination.
A native of Mer Rouge, LA who traveled over much of the world complements of a military husband, Brenda gained knowledge that is reflected in her wide range of interest and subjects. Besides independent studies, private lessons and attending several universities around the country she considers herself primarily a self-taught artist. Before deciding to paint full time she was a commercial artist employed in the advertising field where she received numerous local and national awards. Brenda has commissions of homes, portraits of people and pets, landscapes and still lifes hanging in private and corporate collections in the U.S.A., Europe, and The United Kingdom.
Brenda helped organize and open the Ouachita River Art Gallery, which is now the oldest, and possibly largest, co-op art gallery in the state. The gallery is open to the public free of charge Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM. A large and varied membership offers paintings in all media, jewelry, photos, woodworks and pottery.

Epigenetic biomarkers of aging
3r3188. 3r3-31. The history of epigenetic biomarkers began in 2013. Then the pioneer in this direction, an expert in the field of genetics and biostatistics, an employee of the University of California at Los Angeles, Steve Horvath, presented his new revolutionary method for determining the biological age, called the "epigenetic clock." As the name implies, this method is based on changes in the epigenome, namely DNA methylation. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression regulation. During the methylation, the methyl group CH3-with special enzymes is attached to one of the bases of DNA, cytosine. As a result, 5-methylcytosine is formed and gene expression is inactivated - the transcription process is blocked. As is known today, DNA methylation is a dynamic process. It can change under the influence of external factors, is associated with the development of a number of pathologies and can be inherited by the next generations. Methylation plays a key role in the deactivation of foreign DNA, as well as in the processes of development and aging. Age-related changes in methylation, known as "epigenetic drift", are described. Thus, hypomethylation (demethylation) and the associated chromosomal instability are observed with age. In addition, the reverse process occurs during aging - hypermethylation of some promoter regions, including certain tumor suppressor genes, which is associated with the development of pathologies[1]. In general, today it is believed that a change in methylation plays a key role in aging. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188.
3r311. Based on the fact that the chronological age is associated with predictable changes in the epigenome, hypo- and hypermethylation in many regions throughout the genome, the first generation of epigenetic biomarkers of aging based on DNA methylation was developed. In 201? the first article by scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles, entitled "Epigenetic Age Predictor", showed that DNA methylation has a clear correlation with age. In 210? Steve Horvath identified 353 methylation sites using computer-aided learning techniques that had a high correlation with the chronological age of a person, which formed the basis of the first "epigenetic hours" or "Horvat hours"[2]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. The importance of this discovery is difficult to overestimate. I must say that the success story of S. Horvat is full of not invented drama. According to the memoirs of Horvat himself, his article on the new epigenetic method of age measurement at first did not want to be accepted not in one of the journals. He constantly had to hear from the reviewers the same phrase, that "this is too good to be true." But Horvath did not give up and devoted all his time to finalizing the new method: "I wrote in every free time, as if it was the last time to complete my article." Just before the end of the work in the family of Horvat, a misfortune happened - his recently born daughter died. But this is not out of the rut of a stubborn scientist. The latest edition of his article was again not accepted in Genome Biology. And having received another critical comment from reviewers, Horvath, in his recollection, did three things that should not be done: "After reading the reviewers' comments, I spent the next 10 minutes doing three things that should never be done. First, I went to the fridge and drank three bottles of beer as quickly as I could. Secondly, I went back to the computer and composed a letter to the editor. Third, I sent it. " And this time the fortune smiled at him, his article was accepted. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. How can an "epigenetic clock" be useful? According to the author of the discovery, this method can play a large role in evaluating the effectiveness of anti-aging interventions, as it allows to significantly reduce the waiting time for results. In addition, it is assumed that the sites of methylation identified by Croatian are not just markers, but also active participants in aging (at least some). What gives researchers a potential therapeutic target in the fight against aging and age-related pathologies. Also, this new method can be useful in criminal proceedings when it is necessary to establish an age by tissue samples. But, of course, the most important "epigenetic clock" later acquired in predicting diseases and increasing the risk of mortality. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. As it turned out, the "epigenetic clock" showed the value "zero" in embryonic stem and induced pluripotent cells, spermatozoa, egg cells and placental cells. And during the first 5 years of life - an accelerated course associated with the development of the organism. By the year 2? the "epigenetic clock" gradually slowed down its course, and then went at a more or less uniform speed, changing its indicators under the influence of external factors. Moreover, it turned out that different tissues age at different speeds. The most susceptible to the aging process was the breast tissue in women. From the point of view of epigenetics, the brain is aging most slowly, and the blood and bone cells show a slightly accelerated aging of[3]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. In the same 201? an article by Chinese and American scientists was published, representing another version of the "epigenetic clock" - "Hannum clock". Bioengineer of the University of California at San Diego Gregory Hannum and colleagues studied DNA methylation profiles of 45?000 CpG dinucleotides from human blood cells between the ages of 19 and 10? highlighting the 71 methylation sites most correlated with[4]. The main difference between the "Hannum clock" and the "Horvath clock" is in their specificity: DNA samples are taken from blood cells, and not from any tissue, as in the Croat method. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. The main value of the "epigenetic clock" became clear soon enough. Comparing their progress with chronological age has great predictive value for estimating the risk of all-cause mortality and the development of many pathologies. If the "epigenetic clock" is in a hurry, diseases arise, accelerated aging and shortening of the life span. If they are slower than chronological age, there are good chances for longevity. Studies have shown that the "epigenetic hours" have a high correlation with all-cause mortality and age-related diseases. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. In 201? Horvath and his colleagues conducted research to determine the relationship between the occurrence of lung cancer and indicators of epigenetic age. After analyzing the data of ?029 people, it was found that the acceleration of epigenetic age was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, and this relationship was stronger in smokers and those over 70 years old: "The results showed that standardized rates of acceleration of epigenetic age (IEAA) were in significantly associated with the incidence of lung cancer (HR: 1.5? P = 3.4 × 10 -3). In addition, we have shown that the association can be even stronger among older people (70 years or older) or those who are currently smokers. Overall, our results suggest that IEAA may be a useful biomarker for assessing susceptibility to lung cancer in terms of biological aging. "W2w2w24. . 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. In the same year, another group of researchers established a relationship between the "epigenetic age" and the risk of all-cause mortality in people over 60 years of age. For the analysis, data were taken from four studies (?658 people in total), whose average age of participants was 79.? 69.? 66.3 and 72.9 years, respectively. The epigenetic age was determined by two methods: "Horvat clock" (based on 353 CpG methylation sites) and "Hannum clock" (based on 71 CpG methylation site). Both methods showed a strong correlation with each other, although the basic sets had matches only for 6 CpGs sites. The results of the study showed that the acceleration of the "epigenetic age" compared to the chronological one by 5 years increased the risk of mortality in humans by 16%. The authors concluded: "Accelerated aging indicators derived from DNA methylation are inherited factors that predict mortality regardless of health status, lifestyle factors, and known genetic factors. Therefore, it can be assumed that the predicted age of DNA methylation is an "epigenetic clock," which measures the biological age that goes together, but not always in parallel with the chronological age, and can provide predictions of life expectancy "[6]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. In 201? German oncologists conducted a study that described the relationship between accelerated epigenetic aging and mortality from cancer and cardiovascular diseases and all other causes. For their work, they used the "epigenetic clock" of Horvat and Hannum. The age of DNA methylation was assessed in a cohort of ?863 elderly people in the ESTHER study, whose average age was 62.5 years. The results showed that the epigenetic age, exceeding the chronological age, was associated with a higher mortality. Acceleration by 5 years of "epigenetic age", determined by the method of Horvat, gave an increase in mortality by 22%, and by 16% - using the method of Hannum[7]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. In 201? a large international team of researchers led by Steve Horvath conducted a large-scale meta-analysis in which data from 1?089 people from three racial /ethnic groups: whites, Hispanics and African Americans were investigated. The epigenetic age here was also determined by two methods: "the clock of Horvath" and "the clock of Hannum". This work showed that the acceleration of the "epigenetic hours" by 1 year (compared to chronological age) increased the risk of all-cause mortality by up to 4%. Moreover, the opposite effect was observed: slowing down of the "epigenetic hours" led to a decrease in the risk of mortality. In addition, the researchers recorded an interesting phenomenon: "We found that 5 percent of people have a faster course of biological age, which leads to a shorter lifespan. Accelerated aging increases the risk of death for these people by 50 percent in any adult age. "[8, 9]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. Also already known are a number of external factors affecting the course of the "epigenetic clock". In 201? Horvath and his colleagues described the relationship of diet, alcohol use, education and exercise with the course of epigenetic time. According to the authors themselves, their work confirmed a long-known truth: a diet with vegetables, fish and lean meat, moderate alcohol consumption, physical activity and education slow down the epigenetic time and contribute to the prolongation of life. Epigenome aging increased levels of insulin and glucose, C-reactive protein and triglycerides, as well as overweight and increased blood pressure. In the same study, the scientists did not find a positive effect of the anti-diabetic drug metformin on the course of the epigenetic time[10]. In the same year, Finnish researchers once again demonstrated the relationship of obesity with accelerated epigenetic aging[11]3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. Factors affecting the epigenetic age of [/b] (from[10]). 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r33132. Blue and red arrows show the factors that slow down and accelerate aging, respectively. The clock symbolizes the outer epigenetic clock (extrinsic epigenetic clock, the extended version of the Hannum method) and the inner epigenetic clock (intrinsic epigenetic clock, Horvath clock). Positively affect the course of epigenetic time (slow): fish, poultry, vegetables and fruits, high density lipoproteins, moderate alcohol, education and physical activity. Negatively affect the course of epigenetic time (accelerate): elevated levels of insulin, glucose, C-reactive protein, triglycerides, increased blood pressure, increased body weight and the wrong ratio of waist and hips. [/i] 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. Different teams of researchers conducted work that described the relationship between epigenetic time and physical and cognitive functions, Down and Werner syndromes, HIV infection, Alzheimer's disease, and menopause[12-17]. A clear relationship was also demonstrated between longevity and the slowing down of the "epigenetic hours" using the example of the Italian 100-year-old centenarians[18]. For a long time, Steve Croat did not succeed in predicting the accelerated course of biological age with the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria using his method. But this year this problem was solved: they and his colleagues created special "epigenetic clocks" based on fibroblasts, consisting of 391 CpG sites called "skin-blood clock"[19]. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. The next stage of S. Horvat's work was to develop a more efficient biomarker of aging, with improved diagnostic capabilities that predict the risk of mortality from various causes and the development of age-related diseases. The disadvantage of the previous "epigenetic hours", according to Horvat, was that the use of chronological age as a reference for determining age-related deviations may exclude CpG sites, whose methylation profiles do not exhibit strong, time-dependent changes. Instead, they show only the discrepancy between biological and chronological age. Thus, it is important not only to capture CpG, which reflect the difference with chronological time, but also those that demonstrate differences in risk and physiological status among persons of the same chronological age. In 210? a new biomarker, called DNAm PhenoAge, was created. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. At the first stage, the team of S. Horvat analyzed on a large sample of people, 9926 people from the NHANES III study, the relationship of 42 clinical biomarkers and chronological age with the risk of mortality. As a result, 9 biomarkers were identified for predicting phenotypic age:

Then they validated selected biomarkers — they tested their model of phenotypic age on a different sample of people (6209 people). The audit showed an increase in phenotypic age with an increase in the risk of all-cause mortality: a one-year increase in the phenotypic age was associated with a 9% increase in the risk of all-cause mortality, a 9% increase in the risk of death from aging-related diseases, a 10% increase in the risk of death from heart disease. vascular diseases, a 7% increase in the risk of death from cancer, a 20% increase in the risk of death from diabetes, and a 9% increase in the risk of death from respiratory diseases. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. At the second stage of the study, the authors associated DNA methylation with a phenotypic age. Scientists have determined exactly which methylated GpC sites are associated with these 9 clinical biomarkers, predicting phenotypic age. They identified 513 CpG sites that predicted phenotypic age. A new epigenetic marker was named DNAm PhenoAge. The test showed a fairly high accuracy of the new biomarker: between 1998 and 200? the average change in DNAm PhenoAge was ??? years, while the average change in clinical phenotypic age was ??? years. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. After that, the researchers conducted a run-in of their new biomarker marker using data from 4 large studies, the Women's Health Initiative (n = 4207), the Framingham Heart Study (n = 2553), the Normative Aging Study (n = 657) and the Jackson Heart Study (n = 1747) The results showed that DNAm PhenoAge was significantly associated with the subsequent risk of mortality in all studies (regardless of chronological age): the one-year increase in DNAm PhenoAge is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality of 4.5%. 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. Genetic analysis of DNAm PhenoAge showed that the 513 CpG sites used in it have the same 41 CpGs with the Horvat clock and the same 6 CpGs with the Hannum clock. Five identical CpG were detected in all three epigenetic methods. 149 CpG from DNAm PhenoAge are located in areas of CpG dinucleotide clusters (CpG islands). 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188. All obtained during the study by Steve Horvatom and his team data showed that the new biomarker has great predictive value in determining the risks of the occurrence of age-related diseases and the risk of mortality. "3r3-33132. Using an innovative two-step process, we developed a new epigenetic biomarker of aging, DNAm PhenoAge, which greatly exceeded previous biomarkers in relation to predictions for various aging factors, including all-cause mortality, cancer, general health, physical functioning and Alzheimer's disease. Although this biomarker was developed using data from whole blood, it strongly correlates with age in each tissue and cell under test. Based on in-depth transcriptional analysis in sorted cells, we found that increased epigenetic age relative to chronological age is associated with an increase in the activation of pro-inflammatory and interferon pathways and a decrease in the activation of transcriptional /translational mechanisms, response to DNA damage and mitochondrial signatures. In general, this single epigenetic biomarker of aging can encompass risks for a wide variety of results in different tissues and cells and provide an insight into important aging pathways. »W2w2w214. . 3r3176. 3r3188. 3r3176. 3r3188.

It should have been done 30 years before. Carl Perkins and Scotty Moore had been friends all those years, but they performed together only once--in 1975, on a single, "EP Express," cut for Polygram.
In 1989, they met at a presentation for Carl of an award for a number one song he had written for the Judds, "Let Me Tell You About Love." David Conrad, head of Almo-Irving Music, who published the song, knew Scotty and Carl had been friends for a long time and he invited Scotty to attend. They talked for an hour or so about doing "something" together, but then went back to their respective careers. Carl was busy writing and performing; Scotty, who had not played on stage since 1968, owned two business.
Some time later, Carl's career was interrupted by illness. By then, Scotty had sold one of his businesses. This left both of them with the additional time they needed.
Scotty called Carl to check on his health and the subject of the record came up again. They both had doubts about performing again--Carl, after his illness, and Scotty after not performing in 24 years!
But, immediately, it became a labor of love. As soon as Carl could sing again, they headed to the old Sun Studio in Memphis. They cut this album the way music should be done--they selected the songs and recorded them on the spot!
In addition to the music tracks the album contains dialog tracks of Carl and Scotty reminiscing about the history, the music and recording making it truly "A Sentimental Journey"

Fab five is the greatest college team ever assembled. @ me.
Some interesting points here. Experience was certainly the key for this year's Final Four teams. With that being said, all 4 Elite Eight games were fantastic games. Looking forward to the games next weekend!
I'm from Michigan huge fab 5 fan Go blue.
Rather than let guys go to the draft right out of high school I think maybe requiring at least two years of college ball could be valid. I think there's validity to the growth and development that occurs at the college level.
The one and done situation for the NCAA seems to work well for NBA teams as student-athletes prove themselves against other collegiate players on a higher level than kids in high school.
As to why the NCAA agreed – money, I assume. Had Zion went straight to the NBA, as he should have, the ratings wouldn't be as high, and sponsorship dollars would dwindle.

Some everyday mechanical engineering tasks that may be noticed regularly are HVAC units, kitchen or bath exhausts, cooling and heating air systems and equipment and systems that handle improving the energy productivity.
The electrical part of construction is focused on the electrical safety, functions, components, and above all, the wiring for any building. Engineers with this unit try very hard to make sure that the layout of a building are made to deliver adequate electricity to every component in a safe manner ensuring that all of the electrical codes are met. Some common electrical engineering tasks may be found in the lighting design, regulating the voltage and allocating the electricity to each component within the structure which takes a supply.
plumbing, there is certainly a variety of plumbing components that constitute the final model of any building. Plumbing engineering goes deeper than only toilets, faucets, and sinks, and contains many behind the scene devices. These being the sewage and drainage lines plus the buildings local water supply and how it flows.

Design not only deals in looks but the groundwork of a building also its workings. That is just another solid logic why hiring an MEP engineering firm is going to be helpful to any project.
Think about all the pipes and plumbing. Consider the cooling and heating systems and how important it is to get all of its mechanics in the exact places. Energy saving was discussed, however energy competence is an additional significant term to discuss. Energy efficiency concerns your HVAC system, and it plays a huge part in energy saving overall.
Think of your building's foundation. Consider setting up home security systems and also the safety and security measures set up through the entire structure.

Zara's Eleventh Month ~ Mommy Meowmeow!
Ho ho ho..belated Merry Christmas! Oh our December was a blur..but Christmas has never been so full of meaning and life for us. Daddy A was busy with work, finishing major items with the clients, Mommy is busy as well preparing for her teaching assignment (and also seriously considering if she should return to PhD studies next term) and Z our baby is busy being as cute and as smart as can be!
"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." --> Well she beat me to it. The little lady has almost a mouthful of teeth! Well, she got her four front ones, alright. She eats better now, I guess we're quite lucky to find baby recipes that she loves! She's also waaaay more talkative and taking after mommy with the singing bit. She can follow her fave songs to tune and tempo, Twinkle twinkle little star, especially.
Less fussy, more funny..mommy likey! :) This one's definitely a charmer, never fails to put a smile to our faces (or even a hearty laugh!) at the breakfast table. Makes me think now why we did not have a baby sooner?!?

Falling branch killed golf course manager
A jury inquest into the death of Hinckley Golf Club head greenkeeper Douglas Johnstone heard the branch hit the 56-year-old, killing him instantly

A popular golf course manager died in a freak accident after a 17ft tree branch fell on his head as he cleared up storm debris.
A jury inquest into the death of Hinckley Golf Club head greenkeeper Douglas Johnstone heard the branch hit the 56-year-old causing "blunt force trauma" and bleeding on the brain.
Pathologist Dr Frances Hollingbury, speaking at the hearing at Loughborough Coronor's Court, said the injury was consistent with a heavy branch falling on his head and he would have died almost immediately.
The jury recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Mr Johnstone, known as Dougie, who had previously been a greenkeeper at Wentworth, was last seen by two colleagues at about 3.45pm on Friday December 27.
They were all working to clear branches which had fallen from a large poplar tree blown down in gales near the 14th hole.
Storm force winds of up to 53mph had battered the 18 hole course on Thursday and Friday and caused the mature poplar to sever mid-trunk and topple with the top half hanging in smaller trees nearby.
Workmate John Cross was cutting away branches with a chainsaw while Mr Johnstone and another colleague David Owen were clearing them away.
The 56-year-old stayed on to do more work when Mr Cross and Mr Owen left for the day and when Mr Owen arrived at around 7am the next morning he became concerned because Mr Johnstone's car had not been moved and the windscreen was frozen over.
The door of the maintenance shed was also still open.
Fearing something had happened Mr Cross went to the fairway off the 14th green where they had all been working the previous afternoon and saw Mr Johnstone lying on the ground.
A chainsaw with a broken casing was found nearby and there were blood stains on a large branch a few feet away from Mr Johnstone's head.
The police and ambulance were called and the 56-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The death shocked all at the golf club, where Mr Johnstone had worked since 2011.
At the time golf club member and former honorary secretary, Alan Millhouse, affectionately referred to him as a "burly Scotsman" and said: "He had big plans for developing the course - to make it the course to play on in Leicestershire. He worked his socks off. He was a really nice bloke."


Empress shows are about competition and measuring your improvement for year to year. One of the ways to measure your progress and herd improvement is to show a few of some of your best animals each year. Another important component of Empress shows is the competitive camaraderie with your peers. Many producers will tell you that they have formed lifelong friendships with their fellow chinchilla producers. This was an unexpected huge plus about getting into the chinchilla business. Competing in Empress Chinchilla Shows has greatly improved the quality of the animal as well. Chinchillas of yesterday were small wedge-shaped loosely furred animals. Today's chinchilla is a large, robust, densely furred animal with bright eyes. Empress Shows have played a role in this progress.
Below is a list of the most recent shows. Shows are listed in order of occurrence.

Montreal Fringe Festival: Crazy About Cabaret l'Amour Fou!
Pat Donnelly, Montreal Gazette
Cabaret l'Amour Fou is impossible to resist. This nautical romp with a laid-back attitude is being presented at the Montreal Fringe Festival by a gang of loose-limbed cabaret performers from Vancouver who call themselves The Ancient Rugged Revival. The troupe includes musicians, shadow-puppet players, dancers, and a talk-singer who does a rambling spoken word thing. But they're really all clowns, at heart. They create special effects by waving a sea-blue sheet or shining a light through a crystal bowl.
It all starts out with a banjo-strumming pirate enticing the audience to make waves like the sea. Atmosphere, anarchy and poetry happen on deck. Yes, there's a mast and sails. A sea siren sets out to seduce. A sailor breaks into a tap dance. A lonely guy goes fishing for true love. A pure heart gets painted red, green and blue then scrubbed white again. Make of it what you will. Not a lot of story here, just love as a theme. But don't miss this loopy show.
Cabaret l'Amour Fou, an English-language show in spite of its French title, plays again Thurs. June 18th at 8:15 p.m., Fri. at 3:15 p.m. and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. at the Cabaret Juste Pour Rire.

Home » Blog » How are bedsores treated?
There are many treatments for bedsores. The type of treatment provided will often depend on the severity of the bedsore. In other words, what might be helpful for a Stage 1 bedsore will not be enough to heal a Stage 4 bedsore.
With Stage 1 and Stage 2 bedsores, the most common treatment is simple: take pressure off of the wound. By relieving the weight of the body on the wound, the skin, underlying tissue, and bone are no longer compressed. This allows the blood to move freely about the affected area and kick start the healing process. Nursing home residents are routinely repositioned to keep the pressure off of a wound. So for example, if the bedsore is at the sacrum or tailbone, nursing home staff may place the resident on his or her left side. Then, usually on a schedule of once every two hours, the staff will rotate the resident to the right side, and so on.
Further, special devices may be employed to reduce pressure or the effects of sheer. For example, air mattresses, foam cushions, and items to lift body parts.
Cleaning and dressing an early stage bedsore is essential. Applying topical foams and creams may be required, depending on the severity. However, "airing out" the wound may also be effective.
For later stages, such as Stage 3 and Stage 4, the above remedies will need to be supplemented with more proactive treatment.
Debridement is the process by which dead tissue is removed from the wound area. This procedure often requires surgical removal. The wound specialist will use scalpels and scissors, and can be quite painful to the patient. Debridement can also be accomplished through enzymes and other medications. Removing dead tissue helps to reduce the risk of infection and stimulate healing.
Keeping the wound dry is essential. Unfortunately, depending on the location, urine, feces, sweat, blood, and other discharge may make keeping the wound clean and dry difficult.
Nutrition is important to treating a later stage bedsore. Patients are often prescribed zinc and vitamin c, and are directed to eat more protein.

Stars add to defensive foundation by signing Esa Lindell to 6-year contract extension: 'He's a warrior'
Dallas Stars defenseman Esa Lindell (23) is introduced during the season-opening game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Thursday, October 4, 2018. The Stars were facing the Arizona Coyotes. (Tom Fox/The Dallas Morning News)(Tom Fox / Staff Photographer)
By Matthew DeFranks
3:04 PM on May 16, 2019
The Stars made Esa Lindell their highest-paid defenseman Thursday by signing him to a six-year contract extension annually worth $5.8 million annually. Lindell would have been a restricted free agent this summer but instead is signed in Dallas through 2024-25.
Lindell, who turns 25 next week, set career highs in goals (11), assists (21), points (32) and ice time (24:20 per game) this season. He averaged a team-high 3:14 per game on the penalty kill and was second leaguewide in total time short-handed. During the playoffs, Lindell averaged 26:58 of ice time per game and also played on the second power-play unit.
"We've known how good he is over the years, but I think now, he's starting to get recognized around the league," general manager Jim Nill said. "These playoffs showed who he is. We're excited. I think there's still room for more growth. I think he's going to become more of a leader on our team. He's just a big part of our team moving forward."
The contract buys out four seasons of Lindell's unrestricted free agency and includes a full no-movement clause in its final four years.
With a $5.8 million cap hit next season, Lindell's contract will be the 26th-most expensive among NHL defensemen. Of the 25 players ahead of him, only Florida's Aaron Ekblad and Minnesota's Matt Dumba are younger than Lindell.
The deal was one of the biggest summer tasks for Nill and the Stars (along with re-signing winger Mats Zuccarello) and could have taken a number of different shapes. The sides could have opted for a shorter deal that got Lindell to unrestricted free agency more quickly but instead landed on a six-year deal.
"You start doing comparables," Nill said. "He wants some security. We want some security. In the end, you start working on what he's comfortable with. He's only 24, so he's still going to have another contract coming up."
RELATED: The biggest issues and questions facing the Stars this offseason
Lindell's contract falls in line with similarly aged players Dumba, 24 (five years, $6 million AAV), Colton Parayko, 26 (five years, $5.5 million AAV), Brady Skjei, 25 (six years, $5.25 million AAV) and Jaccob Slavin, 25 (seven years, $5.3 million AAV).
When asked why Lindell was worth $5.8 million annually, Nill said "that's the market."
"There's a market out there, and he fits right into that market," Nill said. "Between how many years you buy of UFA and what players are making, that was the market for him. It's a number that they're comfortable with and a number that we're comfortable with. The comparable players, that's where he lined up."
Before the Lindell contract, in the last three years, 12 defensemen signed deals of at least six years with an annual cap hit of at least $5.8 million. The list includes Norris Trophy winners Drew Doughty, Brent Burns and Victor Hedman. Only three players on that list (Ryan Ellis, Nate Schmidt and Marc-Edouard Vlasic) have never been to an All-Star Game.
By securing Lindell's future in Dallas, the Stars solidified a defensive corps that could be one of the best in the league.
John Klingberg is signed for three more seasons at a bargain rate of $4.25 million, and Miro Heiskanen has two more seasons left on his entry-level contract before he is eligible for restricted free agency. This season, Lindell, Klingberg and Heiskanen each scored double-figure goals, making the Stars one of just two teams with at least three defensemen with at least 10 goals.
Nill said the Stars are trending to have "one of the elite blue lines in the league."
"You start talking John Klingberg, who's an elite defensive player," Nill said. "Esa Lindell, who is your consummate does-everything type of player. He's one of the top penalty-killers in the NHL. He's a warrior. He can log big minutes. And then you add in Miro Heiskanen, who just turned pro and in his first year showed that he's going to be an elite defenseman. That gives you a core of defensemen for the next six to 10 years, pretty good foundation for your defense."
Lindell was selected in the third round of the 2012 draft and played three seasons in Finland before transitioning to North America full time. He spent one season with AHL affiliate Texas in 2015-16 before solidifying himself as an NHL player and eventual top-pair option alongside Klingberg.
"We talked a little bit during the year, and then we picked it up again when the season was over," Nill said. "He's a priority for us. He's one of our top players. One of our top young guys and is going to be a core of our team for many years going forward."

The Green Knight Review: Chivalry Isn't Dead
By Dominic Griffin/July 29, 2021 9:27 am EST
With over a year of hype behind the film due to its Covid-related release delay and the undefeated power of A24's marketing machine, it wouldn't have been a big surprise for "The Green Knight" to disappoint audiences. Towering expectations are often a film's worst enemy, as the film's evocative trailer, posters and social media teasers have all been crafted to make it feel timely, unique and something you, the viewer, must see, regardless of whether stories set before there were cars make you break out in hives. But if anyone was going to find a way to make this epic Arthurian tale not just palatable to new audiences but positively mesmerizing, it would be writer/director David Lowery, an imaginative filmmaker as nimble stylistically as he is refreshingly thoughtful.
His adaptation, starring Dev Patel in a career-best turn as Sir Gawain, achieves something very few post-millennial period pieces or fantasy excursions are capable of accomplishing. "The Green Knight" feels urgent and lively without having to betray its presentation of a world so far from our own. Watching the film, it's difficult not to think about the way future "Game of Thrones" showrunner David Benioff tried to imbue an anachronistic flavor to his script for Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 film "Troy," or the deconstructionist bent of Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman's work on Robert Zemeckis' "Beowulf." But where so many modern adaptations of historical fiction or old mythology feel, even at their best, like very expensive cosplay from recognizable actors playing make believe, "The Green Knight," with its excellent production design and inventive craft, truly breathes and writhes on screen like a storybook coming to life — not just in front of our eyes, but in the depths of our imagination.
Upon first viewing its pacing may prove more deliberate than the A24 branding might have otherwise suggested, but despite very much being its own beast, it, like the studios' other beloved throwbacks "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse," is a rich and lived-in tapestry that is sure to reward repeat watches and thorough rumination.
Losing my head
Adapted by Lowery from the enduring, anonymously penned poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," the film takes an enviable approach to finding new perspective on such a well-worn tale. In the film, Patel stars as Gawain, the nephew of King Arthur (Sean Harris) who is not yet a knight and is, in fact, not yet much of anything. We meet him on Christmas Day, at the foot of his king and uncle, lamenting his inability to provide the one merry gift asked of him — to tell a tale of his own that may help to illuminate his personhood. But before he can truly grapple with why his life has no stories from which to share, he finds himself the protagonist of a new one, just beginning.
A haunting and otherworldly figure, the Green Knight (voiced by Ralph Ineson) arrives in Camelot seeking a worthy adversary to play a game with. The Green Knight challenges any man to try to strike him with a blow with the promise that they will win his weapon, but will have to seek him out, one year hence, to receive a blow back in kind. None of the knights of the Round Table want anything to do with this, the ailing Arthur among them, so Gawain sees this as an opportunity to prove his worth, to make his name, to finally have a story to tell.
With Excalibur itself, Gawain lops the Green Knight's head from his shoulders, only for the fearsome creature to lift it up off the ground and say, basically, "see ya next year."
While Gawain's story spreads like wildfire and his name becomes ever-present on the lips of his neighbors, he himself remains unprepared for the fate that awaits him in that green chapel. The year between Christmases passes quickly and he must go on a journey that, as far as he can surmise, can only end with his own beheading. But his fear and trepidation are outweighed just enough by his eagerness to prove himself worthy, so the film takes the viewer on Gawain's journey as he seeks out his final judgement from the Green Knight.
Lowery builds palpable, stomach-churning dread from this quest, as the film's pervasive tenor of doom envelops every passing moment, not unlike the leafy tendrils draped around the Green Knight's earthy abode. But the film's real drama is less about that destination, as its main event is less important than the undercard of forced personal growth Gawain dodges and parries throughout his trip.
At every turn, his legend, and the fictionalized version propagated to the masses from the telling of his incomplete tale, becomes challenged by reality. Gawain, time after time, must confront moral quandaries beyond the ability to be cut down by a sword. Yet he remains convinced that it is his final faceoff with the titular threat that will somehow magically transform him into the man he is meant to be, forcefully unaware that it is these interceding trials that are his true concern.
Ego death
To make this largely internal struggle within the film's protagonist engrossing, Lowery and his collaborators create a gorgeous, rustic epic filled with all the majestical elements that elevate this sort of story. Everyone involved should be absolutely commended for the sterling work on display in making "The Green Knight" feel magical in a way many modern films fail to execute. But even though the talking foxes, fleeting glimpses of giants, and bone-chilling depictions of supernatural knights may get butts in seats, it's the stirring way Lowery updates the source material that will leave the film swirling around your subconscious long after the closing credits.
While one need not be a scholar of Arthurian legend to be enchanted by "The Green Knight," a cursory understanding of the poem and the key changes Lowery made from it help illuminate why this adaptation works as well as it does here in 2021. Where the Gawain of the original text is noble, Lowery paints our Gawain as something of a scoundrel. He is, essentially, a spoiled rich kid coasting off his royal uncle's stature and disappointing his mother on the daily instead of ever doing a single, solitary thing with his immense potential.
Lowery has said that casting Patel was key to making this interpretation work, because the actor possesses such indisputable charisma and warmth that they could push their depiction as far into certified scoundrel territory as the story required, knowing Patel's face and presence would be enough to endear the audience to him regardless of his character's considerable faults. Patel's inherent vulnerability and the open way his face projects fallibility and inner turmoil gloss over his overt failings long enough to make him easy to root for on this difficult journey.
The other change, casting Morgana Le Fey Gawain (Sarita Choudhury) as Gawain's mother and not his aunt, allows for her trademark witchy meddling to suggest an alternate reading of the Green Knight's challenge. Rather than happenstance turned to fatalist myth, Gawain's journey more closely resembles a mother's love transcending this earthly realm to finally rouse her man-child of a son out of a self-satisfied, slacker fog that stifles any chance of him becoming a good man, much less a decent one.
It's a brilliant way to make a story about chivalry, an outdated concept to be sure, feel primal and vital. Patel makes Gawain's inner conflict the beating heart of this hypnotic adventure story. Sure, his supporting cast is more than game, with Price's Arthur, Alicia Vikander in a fascinating dual role, and Joel Edgerton stealing the show as a lord who tests Gawain's honor. But it's Patel's turn that truly stuns.
"The Green Knight" is an enrapturing showcase for an actor so adept at exploring the ever-shifting status of masculinity in society. The way Lowery surrounds Gawain with nesting narratives amplifying the push and pull of wanting to be known and wanting to be true, of wanting to be famous versus wanting to be genuine. Watching him shrink in combat or scurry through the woods in fear are nothing compared to the disappointment of watching him fail the women in his life — and in doing so, his very self.
Patel's bravery as a performer makes for such sharp contrast with Gawain's uncharacteristic cowardice, allowing his flawed hero to sink to the lowest of lows so that finally succumbing not to death, but the death of his persistent ego, feels like one of the most satisfying conclusions to any film you're likely to see this year.
"The Green Knight" is a stunner, every bit the must-see event A24's often exaggerated PR promised it would be.

Q: Iterating Attendance List in jsp and spring mvc I am trying to display sutdent name , father name from student table and a boolean flag from attendance table.
I am able to get required list from below query:
 List<AttendanceCommandName> studentsList = (List<AttendanceCommandName>) session.createQuery("select     a.studentId,s.studentName,s.fatherName,a.presentFlag from Attendance a,Student s where a.studentId = s.studentId and s.departmentId="+classid+" group By a.studentId").list();

Here AttendanceCommandName class contains both Student and Attendance Entity
my jsp iteration looks like this,
<c:if test="${!empty studentsList}">
      <c:forEach items="${studentsList}" var="student">

            ${student.studentId}
            ${student.studentName}
            ${student.fatherName}
             <input type="checkbox" path="student.presentFlagList" value="${student.studentId}" />
      </c:forEach>
</c:if>

I am able to get object in [[Ljava.lang.Object;@6d987577 but with this format
I am unable to iterate in jsp.
Can any body please suggest me in this regard?

A: In your Hibernate query it returns List of Object array not student list of custom objects so change it to
List<Object[]> objList= (List<Object[]>) session.createQuery("select a.studentId,s.studentName,s.fatherName,a.presentFlag from Attendance a,Student s where a.studentId = s.studentId and s.departmentId="+classid+" group By a.studentId").list();

iterate this object array list in java and create student list
List<AttendanceCommandName> list=new ArrayList<>;
for(Object[] o:objList){
    AttendanceCommandName s=new AttendanceCommandName();
    s.setId=o[0];
    s.setstudentName=o[1];
    s.setfatherName=o[2];
    s.setpresentFlag=o[3];
//type cast above attribute as per your variables
list.add(s);
}

now iterate this list in jsp

A: It should be <c:if test="${not empty studentsList}"> instead of <c:if test="${!empty studentsList}">
