NYC show!
Hey guys, just wanted to say that it was great to meet so many of you in NY!
I saw the NYC threads and photos you posted! Thanks for all the kind words. I saw a bunch of readers from the board there, Miss Fumiko, Atomic Steve, and Valter from my board, and Johnny Z (and his dad), and Moonspider, Pornbot2 and more from this board.
Also hung out with IVAN (Ivan Brandon from the upcoming NYC MECH from Image, who was great as always. Thanks for everything Ivan!
We had a great time signing at the Big Apple Con last weekend and enjoyed meeting many of you there. Some of you mentioned that you saw me on the local NY morning news promoting the show It was a lot of fun.
Oeming stopped by, and we met up with him and Ivan Brandon (from Image's NYC MECH), and Jim Lee, and a bunch of artists from Italy that I just met.
After that I stayed in NYC for a while at my friend Vicky Cao's place. If you have Reflections #4 you can see some of my drawings of her.
Andy Lee was at the show and with us afterwards as well, and it was a blast.
It was great to see your responses from the show.
Re: David Mack's Response to the ICON line
That stuff is in full effect. No worries there. Thanks for asking though.
I'd love to post about it but it may sound like bragging. Even though it is really just gratitude. I'm very grateful for this life and the people in my life.
Since this thread is sticky, I figured I'd post my recent statement from the "Important things to remember" thread here in case anyone missed it.
None of that was referring to Kabuki moving. The move was a very recent situation.
The writing of the Marvel project is something else. Something I can't speak of yet until it is announced and scheduled.
Re: Just finished reading Kabuki Metamorphosis
Re: Red, Red Wine
I reccomend having a lot of fine ladies at your house when you are enjoying a bottle. It just seems to taste wonderful that way.
Last night, Anh's friend Vicky from NYC that you met in NYC last week stopped by ur place with one of her girlfriends before she had to catch a plane in the morning, and they popped out the wine like they always do when they visit. And things were just grand.
Re: MACK! Q & A
Sorry, just got back from NYC and been hard at work on KABUKI.
I'll be happy to answer them.
GraveS, Yes, my girlfriend models for Kabuki. And some other friends and family model for some of the other characters. My sister-in-law Hiromi models for Akemi. And Akemi was named after a friend of mine named Akemi from college days.
And in a very sublte way, there is a sort of Powers cross-over with the new Kabuki series. With out announcing it, and only obliquely hinting at it, there is a Powers character that has a few scenes with Kabuki in the new series. If you are on your toes (and already a Powers reader) you'll catch it. But many will not.
Goddard,
I don't think I will be at Philly. I just got the invite from them a couple weeks ago, and my schedule is already pretty full. I have to stay home and make Kabuki.
But I will be at the Pittsburgh Comicon at the end of APRIL.
And I intend to be at the Atlanta Comicon next Sat & Sun.
I'll have to go back from the top and answer the rest, next time I drop in.
Thanks for the interest.
Re: Do you wear work clothes?
Work clothes, lets see:
In summer, I usually wear jockey shorts.
When colder, I often wear a sweater and sweat pants.
Then there is casual Friday...
This doesn't hurt Image at all. Image has survived way bigger changes than this.
Image doesn't make any money on our single issues.
They make a percentage on our collections.
And all our previous collections remain in stock at Image.
We all make our living off of the Kabuki and Powers collections. Those are the books that continue to sell forever.
The trades generate much more income than any single issues. For us and for Image.
Work we did ten years ago (for example Kabuki: Circle of Blood) continues to sell every year, and sells more each year than before. Those collections sell more now than they did when the year they came out.
And all of that is still available ONLY through Image and we are still in business with Image through that. We are still on great terms with Image.
And we will continue being in business with Image.
For our new Kabuki and Powers, something happened and we felt the need to do them elsewhere.
Well, in light of your post, I should clarify some things.
The single issues make it possible for us to do the collections. The collections take a while to recoup their expenses. For creators like us that are building a library with a long term shelf life, we can afford to eat the expenses for a while until the trades pay for themselves. After taking a year or so to pay for the big print run and other pringing expenses, then the years after that, generate income for us and the publisher.
But that works because we continue to do them and have spent years cultivating an audience with the single issues.
Without doing the single issues most creators would not be able to afford the expense to do the collections, or to wait for the collections to recoup their expenses.
You are welcome to buy the format that you prefer. I just wanted to clarify this and to not sell the single issues short. There are some retailers and readers who only buy single issues. And some that only by trades. Some readers only buy hard covers. I try to do all three formats so readers have a choice. But with the current structure of this market, the single issues have been the foundation that enable me to do that.
And sometimes my stories will come out for a couple of years before there is a collection of it (which is the case with my current series). Alchemy is planned to be a pretty long story. It will be a while before it is finished and a collection is released.
Re: what's the rarest/most expensive comic you own ?
I have Amazing Spiderman #129 (first appearance of the Punisher 1974)
and every appearance of the Punisher up until around 1990.
And I have a comic signed by Jack Kirby.
That, and the letters collumn is a big part of the Kabuki issues.
Kabuki always has a very hearty letters collumn with all kinds of interesting people and details.
Re: Cooke's remarks
Good for Cooke and you all for the discussion.
Someone asked if Powers was a super hero book.
It just occured to me that I've never thought of it like that.
It's not a super hero book. It's a cop book. A crime story, a buddy, partner homicide detective story, like like Homicide or Law and order.
About a police division that handle homicides of celibrities. In Powers super heroes stand for the celebrities. In our world, it is actors and musicions. In the Powers world it is the "super powered" beautiful people.
All the stories of Powers I read seem to be about celebrity, with the "costumed heroes" as a thinly veiled metaphor for our culture's preocupation with celebrity.
Hey Ivan,
Was great to do all that stuff in NYC!
Welcome to the Bendis board!
I haven't seen you here before.
Michael is a regular poster on my board. And an artist of his own books.
Re: Kill Bill Comics Books
Rick Mays told me that he was doing some Kill Bill comic stuff for them.
If you haven't seen his stuff in Kabuki: Scarab, check it out.
Re: How big is your pile of comics to read?
Papercuts,
Let me know what you think when you get around to that Kabuki run
Hopefully you will read it all before the new series comes out so you'llb e hooked for the new one
Re: Kabukaki
Thanks for picking up Kabuki: Metamorphois.
Let me know what you think of it when you read it.
Re: Kill Bill Action Figures
Did you see the new Scarab action figure being offered in the next Previews catalogue?
Every bit as cool as the Kabuki figure.
Siamese are next.
I like the Scarab story too.
Glad you dig it Shwicaz.
It ties in with Meta in cool way.
And there are also some references to it in the new KABUKI: Alchemy.
For instance, let me know if you can spot Yukio in the first issue of Alchemy
2004 is indeed the 10th anniversary of Kabuki. The books in Circle of Blood began thier bi-monthly publishing schedule in 1994.
The first published/printed appearance of Kabuki was in 1993 in a card set. Bendis' Zora from Powers was also in the 1993 card set. It was called Comics Future Stars. It was a 90 card set, But our two characters are our names are the only ones I recognize as still in the public today.
The books in Circle of Blood (Fear the Reaper, and COB 1-6) were published in 94-95.
The books in Dreams, and Masks of the Noh were published in 1996.
The books in Skin Deep were published in 96-97.
The books in Meta were published in 97 to early 2001.
The books in Scarab were published in 99 to late 2001.
I did the first DD story during Meta.
Then I did all the other DD stuff and Alias covers after that.
And now new Kabuki- Alchemy will be my project for the next couple of years!
So this is my seventh Kabuki volume, and I did 3 DD volumes. Not bad for 10 yrs work. I have a little history about the early Kabuki stuff in the first issue of KABUKI -Alchemy.
And it shows the early Bendis art in it
I met Bendis in 93 and he was originally going to do the art for Circle of Blood. So I'm going to include some of that never before seen art in the Alchemy.
At this point, I think it is safe to say that it [Kabuki: The Alchemy] will be at least 8 issues, but it could very well end up being 10 or 12.
And I have the next three Kabuki stories after that written out as well.
All of the books have ended up being longer than I originall thought they would be in the scripts or outlines. Some of the characters just start fleshing themselves out more and more space gets devoted to characterization of new characters and thier interactions.
Which is the fun and magical part about it. I always let there be room for improvement on every level of the process.
The story after this one is the Tigerlily story which explores her life as a comic book artist. It features real life stuff with real life characters, such as Bendis, and Oeming as main characters in it, and recounts a lot of actual experiences. Dishing dirt, and all the juicy details behind the scenes of conventions and comic book business.
It's like true documentary biographical stuff, but I added the Tigerlily character in those scenes as another one of the artists there, so she can recount the story from her POV.
Re: How do you read your comics?
First I lick out the creamy center...
Thanks, Guys
I couldn't have done it withour readers like you...
Readers with good taste
Thanks for that. For introducing it to people.
That means everything.
Since Kabuki isn't very mainstream or superhero,
I've had to really depend of work of mouth from readers to be able to stick around so long.
So that is a huge help.
Rangerchic,
Smashtor,
Thanks a lot for that!
Introducing new readers to the book like that means everything for a book like Kabuki.
I really appreciate the kind words.
Really glad you are looking forward to the Alchemy story.
And let me know what you think of Scarab.
It is a unique experiment in point of view, that I haven't seen done before in a comic. It has some tie ins with the other Kabuki books. Especially Meta.
Re: I got my Mile High Order today!
Cool! These are pretty rare too.
If anyone wants the Kabuki gallery they can order them for cover price 2.95 from Anh Tran at
its from 1995 and has 32pags full color Kabuki art from:

Re: Bendis & Mack wrote Raven Chronicles?
doesn't ring a bell...
But we did do Flaxen!

Drive will be further given pace for 100% vaccination – Health Minister
October 21, 2021 • Anil Mathur
Jaipur, October 21.Health Minister Dr. Raghu Sharma said that 6 crore 10 lakh 93 thousand 738 people in the State have been administered the dose of corona vaccine. He said that 4 crore 21 lakh 52 thousand 775 people have been administered the first dose and 1 crore 89 lakh 40 thousand 963 people have been administered both doses. He said that the vaccination drive will be given further pace for cent percent inoculation of the targeted group. He said that the department is fully prepared for the vaccination of people aged less than 17 years.
Dr Sharma said that recently Chief Minister Shri Ashok Gehlot through VC had directed the medical department officers to speed up the vaccination drive. He said that the State is also on the top in the country in vaccination after the corona management. "It would be our effort that vaccination is done in a time-bound manner and at a fast pace so that we can easily cover the targeted group," he added.
The Health Minister said that the targeted group of children up to 17 years in the State is around 1 crore 10 lakh. There is complete preparation for their vaccination. The department has sufficient storage, cold chain and trained manpower. With getting the vaccine doses for children, IEC activities will be carried out and publicity will be done so that they should feel that children will be completely safe with the vaccine. He said that vaccination of children is a common process. Vaccination of children is done from their birth. As soon as the vaccine dose for children is received, the vaccination will be done effectively in the State.
The Health Minister said that the infrastructure of all medical institutions in the State is being strengthened to prevent seasonal diseases and the anticipated third wave of corona. Selected 332 Community Health Centres (CHCs) in the State are being developed. More than 1600 beds are being made here and oxygen generation plants will be set up at 212 CHCs. The number of beds in ICU, NICU, PICU and SNCU is being increased in all the children's hospitals in the State. Rajasthan is alert to face all the challenges.
The Health Minister said that the State faced the maximum problem of medical oxygen during the second wave of corona. Now in this regard, the State is on the path of self-reliance. 545 Oxygen Generation Plants have been sanctioned in the State, of which 285 have been installed and soon the remaining will be established. He said that more than 47 thousand oxygen concentrators have also been supplied. With these oxygen concentrators, 1,000-litre metric tonne medical liquid oxygen will be available.

BART riders wait for their train at the Coliseum BART station in Oakland.
After six months of nasty negotiations, a crippling rail shutdown and two more threatened strikes, BART and its unions are facing another strike deadline this week. But a panel of mediators enlisted by this newspaper is optimistic that the two sides will finally settle this time.
Perhaps the brightest sign came last week when both sides began trading proposals back and forth for the first time during the 60-day cooling-off period and met more often, closing the gap between the competing offers from $112 million to $89 million over four years.
Those initial steps — a far cry from the stonewalling strategy used all summer to try to break the other side — are typically the start of something bigger, the experts said.
"The dynamic is that one side starts to move, and that encourages the other side to move. Movement begets movement in labor negotiations," said Oakland-based Paul Roose, the state's former top mediator who oversaw BART negotiations in 2009.
The graduate students in Arlene Kostant's negotiations class at Hastings College of the Law took on the dispute as a special project and concluded that the biggest problem was that each side was focusing on demonizing the other, a strategy that rarely proves successful. The students suggested "hitting the reset button" to switch from enemies to partners trying to solve a common problem.
Each side seems to be tiptoeing in that direction. After months of blasting the unions, BART on Friday called the labor groups' recent movement "a really big deal," prompting the agency to budge slightly for the first time in two months and back away from threats that supervisors would operate trains to provide limited train service during a strike. And unlike during the summer, the unions representing 2,300 line-level workers have held off on high-profile rallies bashing BART management.
"I think the key here is much more respect," Kostant said.
Sausalito-based Dana Curtis, who has been mediating disputes for 23 years for courts and private parties, points to often-cited research among psychologists about the four common ways people approach disagreements: Give up and let the other side win, collaborate on a common solution, compromise or compete.
She said it's clear that BART and its unions spent the summer fighting, a tactic that almost inevitably leads to failure for any dispute, whether over a labor contract, a budget fight in Congress or between couples bickering over which new restaurant to try.
Since caving and working in harmony seem out of the question in the BART talks, both Kostant and Curtis see compromise as the only solution.
That looks like it's starting to take place. On the biggest issue — wage increases — the opposing sides were offering raises of 10 percent over four years vs. 21.5 percent over three years when the cooling-off period ordered by Gov. Jerry Brown began in August. But in recent days unions moved closer to 15 percent, while management bumped up its offer an undisclosed amount. That reciprocation — you have to give something to get something — is new to the BART talks and is one of the basic principles of successful negotiations, Kostant said.
While the remaining gap is still large, both sides are facing more pressure now than during previous deadlines to reach a deal.
Past strikes by BART, UPS and other workers around the nation have sparked public outcry and spurred managers to capitulate. But as the latest dispute has worn on, Bay Area polls have shown more and more people turning on the BART workers, who already make the highest wages of any transit workers in the state — an average gross pay of $76,500. A poll released last week by pro-business groups found that just 6 percent of respondents thought management should take the unions' offer.
Brand also noted that unlike most labor disputes, the managers — the BART board — are publicly elected officials. A strike now would hit BART at a time when rider counts are up 30 percent compared to the summer, and when freeway traffic peaks.
If both sides start approaching what BART board president Tom Radulovich calls the "settlement zone," Brand and Curtis both said, it will come down to negotiators securing enough "face savers" to seal a deal that will inevitably disappoint some workers and taxpayers.
Even if time runs short to put those finishing touches on a deal, union leaders have indicated a willingness to extend talks and possibly keep working beyond Thursday night's deadline if an agreement is close, as they did when a strike deadline came and went in 2009.

Bengalisches Feuer (bengalisches Licht, bengalische Flamme oder kurz Bengalo) ist ein Effekt der Pyrotechnik unter Benutzung eines weißen oder farbigen pyrotechnischen Satzes. Bengalische Feuer werden zur effektvollen Beleuchtung eingesetzt, zum Beispiel von Büsten, Statuen, Gebäuden und Gärten. Die Flammenfärbung ist abhängig von dem verwendeten Metall, das dem Brennstoff zugemengt ist. Charakteristisch für bengalisches Feuer sind ein greller Lichtschein und eine intensive Rauchentwicklung, wobei es auch möglich ist, Flammen mit wenig Rauchentwicklung zu erzeugen.

Eine Miniaturversion dieses Effekts ist das Bengalische Streichholz. Es gehört zum Kleinstfeuerwerk und ist besonders in Deutschland beliebt.

Begriffsgeschichte
Der Begriff bengalisch ist abgeleitet von dem Namen der historischen Region Bengalen (heute Bangladesch und der indische Bundesstaat Westbengalen). Die dortigen Fürstenhöfe wurden durch bunte Lichter beleuchtet, die durch chemische Reaktionen erzeugt wurden. Ursprünglich verstand man unter dem Begriff bengalisches Feuer nur das Licht zur glänzenden Beleuchtung eines Gegenstandes. Zur Erzeugung des Lichts wurden Schwefel, das Nitrat Salpeter und das Mineral Realgar verwendet.

Bengalische Feuer werden meist in Form von Fackeln – zum Teil in Kombination mit Rauchsätzen – im Barockfeuerwerk, für Lichterbilder, bei pyrotechnischen Beleuchtungen, bei Freiluftkonzerten oder auch als Warnsignal und (See-)Notsignal verwendet.

Gefährdungspotenzial

Bei der Verwendung von Handfackeln wird unter anderem Magnesium verbrannt; dabei entsteht eine Flamme mit einer Temperatur zwischen 1600 und 2500 °C. Verletzungen durch Verbrennung können auch hervorgerufen werden, wenn ein direkter Kontakt mit dem Feuer gar nicht zustande kommt. Die intensive Lichterscheinung kann bei direktem Blickkontakt zu massiven Blendwirkungen führen.

Ersticken der Flamme mit Sand, Löschen mit Wasser oder Feuerlöschern ist oft nicht möglich. Brandschutzhersteller bezeichnen als sicherste Methode die Verwendung eines Löschmittels auf Gelbasis, das durch eine starke Abkühlung Weiterentzündung verhindert. Das Kartongehäuse und die Schlacke – bei Fackeln meist tropfend – sind noch lange Zeit so heiß, dass sie auch bei kurzer Berührung erhebliche Verbrennungen verursachen können.

Die Fackeln entwickeln sehr dichten und intensiven Rauch, der zu Sichtbehinderungen und innerhalb großer Menschenmengen zu panikartigem Verhalten führen kann. Das Einatmen des Rauchs sollte aus Gesundheitsgründen vermieden werden. Jedoch gibt es (Stand 2014) keine belastbaren Studien zur Gesundheitsgefährdung durch den Rauch.

Bengalische Feuer beim Fußball

Etwa seit den 1980er-Jahren werden bengalische Feuer von Fußballfans in Stadien entzündet. Wegen der Verletzungsgefahren hat es in einigen Ländern Verschärfungen der Rechtslage gegeben. Viele Fußballverbände, darunter auch der Weltfußballverband FIFA und der europäische Fußballverband UEFA, verhängen für das Entzünden von Pyrotechnik hohe Geldstrafen gegen die beteiligten Vereine, die etwa in Deutschland auch auf die Verursacher umgelegt werden können.
 Deutschland: In allen Sportstadien ist die Verwendung von bengalischen Feuern durch die Stadionordnung bzw. die Versammlungsstättenverordnung (z. B. in Bayern durch § 35 Abs. 2 VStättV) untersagt. Wer bengalisches Feuer ins Stadion schmuggelt oder entzündet, dem droht ein bundesweites Stadionverbot. Die Verwendung von bengalischen Feuern in Sportstätten stellt zudem eine Ordnungswidrigkeit dar und kann abhängig von den Umständen auch als Straftat wie versuchte gefährliche Körperverletzung verfolgt werden. Die Polizei bildet seit dem Jahr 2012 Spürhunde zum Aufspüren pyrotechnischer Gegenstände aus, um das Schmuggeln von bengalischem Feuer in Stadien zu verhindern. Der Deutsche Fußball-Bund und die Deutsche Fußball Liga lehnen eine Änderung der bestehenden Regeln unter Hinweis auf Sicherheitsaspekte ab.
 Österreich: Am 13. Oktober 2009 beschloss die Bundesregierung mit Blick auf Geschehnisse bei Fußballveranstaltungen eine Novelle des Pyrotechnikgesetzes von 1974. Das Pyrotechnikgesetz 2010 trat am 4. Januar 2010 in Kraft. Betroffen sind pyrotechnische Gegenstände mit Knalleffekten sowie alle Erzeugnisse, die chemische Stoffe beinhalten, welche Bewegungs-, Licht-, Rauch-, Nebel-, Druck- oder Reizwirkungen hervorrufen (also auch bengalisches Feuer). Ausnahmegenehmigungen sind jedoch möglich.
 Schweiz: Am 1. Januar 2010 trat das "Hooligan-Konkordat" in Kraft. Es ermöglicht staatliche Maßnahmen gegen Gewalttäter im Umfeld von Sportveranstaltungen und definiert unter anderem das Mitführen und die Verwendung von Pyrotechnik als Gewalt im Sinne des Konkordats.
In Norwegen und den USA gab es mitunter schon 2005 einzelne Bereiche in Stadien, in welchen nach vorheriger Anmeldung bestimmte Arten von Pyrotechnik kontrolliert abgebrannt werden durften.

Vorschrift
Nach dem UN-Nummernsystem werden pyrotechnische Fackeln als Explosivstoffe der Klasse 1.4 eingestuft.

Q: formally prove or disprove the following statement How would I formally prove or disprove the following statement about integers, if $x|y$ and $x|z$ then $x|(2y+3)z$

A: Hint:
In this type of exercise, you have to write the hypotheses correctly and try to gather all this together. To give you the intuition of the result, you can try on small numbers.
Answer:
Following the hypothesis
$$
\exists (k,k') \in \mathbf{N}^2, y = kx \text{ and } z = k'x
$$
Therefore
$$
(2y+3)z = (2kx + 3)(k'x) = 2kk'x^2 + 3k'x = (2kk'x + 3k')x = K x
$$
with $K = 2kk'x + 3k' \in \mathbf{N}$ so
$$
x|(2y+3)z
$$

A: How about this statement:

If $y$ is an integer and $x|z$ then $x|(2y+3)z$.

The first part ($x|z$) says $z$ is a multiple of $x$; we then take that multiple and multiply it by the integer $2y+3,$ obtaining again a multiple of $x.$
The fact that you are given $x|y$ is a bit of a red herring; you don't need to use that fact in the proof.
Of course if you do know that $x|y$ then you know $y$ is an integer,
so it still follows (from this and from $x|z$) that $x|(2y+3)z.$

A: You have to know 2 things:
if $a|b$ and $a|c$, then a divides any linear combination between b and c (a|b+c)
if $a|b$, then $a|bc$ for all integer c
Here we want to prove that $x$ divides $(2yz + 3z)$, and we have $x|y$ and $x|z$:
$x$ then divides $2yz$ and $3z$ seperately, and their linear combination as well.
So formally:
$x|y \Longrightarrow x|2yz$
$x|z \Longrightarrow x|3z$
$x|2yz$ and $x|3z \Longrightarrow x|(2y+3)z$
Hope it helps

Galloway's JV quiz bowl team captured the Division 5 State Championship held at Ola High School on Saturday, March 10. During round-robin play, the team defeated every other team in the division by over 200 points, winning the championship outright with no need of a tiebreaker.
According to Georgia Academic Team Association (GATA) rules, JV teams are defined by grade level (ninth- and tenth-graders only) rather than ability level. Division 5 is composed of the smallest schools in GATA's membership. This is the first year Galloway has won the State JV Championship.
Team member Charlie Garroway '21 says, "My favorite part of being on the [quiz bowl] team is that it expands my knowledge of various subjects, including ones I was previously not very well versed in. Studying for and participating [in quiz bowl] has broadened the scope of what I know.

Three Years of Kings Place
Peter MillicanSun 4th September 2011
Kings Place brings together commercial office space, art galleries, restaurants and two concert halls
As Kings Place prepares for its fourth festival, its founder reflects on the highs and lows of the launching a new arts space
Property developer Peter Millican is the founder and Chief Executive of London's Kings Place, which brings together commercial office space, art galleries, restaurants and two concert halls featuring artist-curated music series.
When I bought the land in 1999, my idea was to create a building which was part office, part arts and it was also to have a different take on the arts and music. Admittedly, I probably didn't think hard enough about it! But I felt that if we did it well enough we would get it to work in a fashion that we were comfortable with, so we went to a lot of trouble to get the acoustics right and make the public spaces enjoyable.
The brief for the architects was broad: to create a building which worked for the office tenants, but also worked for the community round about. As office buildings become bigger and bigger, as they are in the City of London, I think there's a real risk that if you don't allow people into them, you're closing off large areas of the city which are becoming private zones. That's not an attractive thing to do in a city.
This area was fairly fringe when we first opened, but we came here fundamentally because of transport. This is the most well connected place in London, so it was obvious to me that it was going to become a real hub, and it's developing very quickly. Central St Martins art college are opening across the road in September so there will be 5000 students plus their staff, the French bank BNP Paribas have bought a big site across the road, and in the smaller streets hereabout the shops are changing. I always knew it would take 10 to 15 years for the site to be built out fully, and the recession has probably put that back a couple of years, but recently it's started to gather momentum again and it's gone from a high percentage of sex shops to interesting book shops, nice small cafés.
I think people were sceptical from an office development point of view because it's a very generous amount of space we've given to the arts and not many developers would have done that. In The Music Base, where we have a shared office scheme for people in the arts, it's pretty much full. There's been a steady turnover during the recession because people are either growing or shrinking, but it's been very successful. It's a community, and creating a community is the greatest thing you can do.
There was also scepticism about whether it really was possible to get the artistic programme to fly, but the concept of having curators pull together what interests them has worked well for us, and on our part there's been surprisingly little intervention in programming.
When we started, we were looking very hard to find people who'd like to come but now we get people who bring ideas to us, which is great. You've got to make the choice of who you invite, and then we pretty much leave it to them because these artists know their subject incredibly well, and I think that's how you get the best out of them. Some programmes sell better than others, as is the case everywhere, and of course the riskier you are or the more "interesting", the smaller the audience and the more critical reviews we get, but it was never the aim to put on something that was "vanilla" and we've had very few poor reviews in terms of quality.
As a result, we're building a really great audience who come often, but it's taken slightly longer to build than I'd hoped. I underestimated it, really. What you're trying to create is a sense of place, I think, especially when you're starting from scratch. Once you've got it, that sense of place will stick for a long time but it does take some travelling to get that to work. If you look at all of the established concert halls in London, the youngest is the Barbican and the rest have been going for a very long time, but they would all have taken a long time, too, so looking at it rationally we're doing incredibly well. We're getting steady growth, we're getting audiences who like coming, we're getting good reviews, we're getting a good mix of programming.
At the Kings Place Festival, which is coming up in September, you can have an amazing day sampling poetry, comedy, classical music, jazz so in that sense it's both a celebration and a showcase. It's served us very well in terms of making more people aware of what we're doing, and hopefully people who find us through the festival come back for other things.
Anecdotally, when we opened I think there were some concerns that we might trespass onto other people's patches, but we provide something different from the other venues, and people value us for that. Whether it's trains or airplanes, people will try to get the cheapest ticket they can for that journey or that experience, but once they've had it maybe they're more likely to come back again. We have a range of prices for different things and the earlier people book the more certain they are to get a cheaper ticket.
Of course, you can lose money at any size, but the chances are you'll lose less on a small hall than a big hall and that was one of the determining factors in choosing hall size at Kings Place. But also this was the sort of programme that interested me, and it fitted well into a building this size. It feels perfect to me.
The Kings Place Festival runs September 8-11, 2011

Does Hypnosis Really Work? Or is Everyone Faking it in Hypnosis Shows?
Posted on April 17, 2017 July 27, 2017 by Richard Barker
One of the most asked questions stage hypnotists get in their line of work is, "Does hypnosis really work?" While we're not here to try and make you a devout believer, we do want to help you understand that hypnosis is, in fact, very real. Not only is it real in hypnosis shows, but the science behind hypnosis has been used since prehistoric times to help heal the mind, body and soul.
Are dreams real or is everyone faking it?
Convincing someone hypnosis is real is like convincing someone that dreaming is a phenomenon that truly exists. The thought of your subconscious working while your conscious mind is in a sleep state can be difficult to wrap your brain around.
Let's say someone came up to you and told you that they don't dream and they think that people are making up this nightly activity. How would you explain to this non-dreamer that not only do you dream every night but you also remember your dreams when fully conscious?
For the most part, it's widely accepted that we dream every night. Why we dream and how we dream are still highly debated subjects but we're pretty much all in agreement, dreaming happens. So when pressed to prove that dreaming occurs while we sleep, how would you explain this concept to a non-believer?
There are a few ways you might go about convincing someone that while our conscious minds sleep at night, our unconscious minds are still active and producing brain activity.
The Historical Approach
To convince someone that dreaming exists, you may turn to historical proof that cements the idea that humans have been dreaming and documenting those dreams since the beginning of time.
Ancient Times: "The recorded history of dream interpretation dates back over 5,000 years to 3100 B.C. with the Sumerians in Mesopotamia. Both gods and kings paid close attention to their dreams and recorded them on clay tablets."
Using the historical approach, the use of hypnosis can be traced back over 4,000 years ago to Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians used "Sleep or Dream Temples" to heal people suffering from psychological problems rooted in the brain. In these temples, "the sick person was put in to a trance like sleep; priests and priestesses then interpreted the person's dreams to gain knowledge about the illnesses and to find a cure for the illnesses."
The Scientific Approach
There have been countless scientific studies surrounding dreams and the term for such exploration is categorized as Oneirology aka the scientific study of dreaming. Scientists are in agreement that, "A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep."
Likewise, scientists continue to conduct numerous studies on the effectiveness and benefits of hypnosis. The focus of scientific studies into hypnosis and hypnotherapy varies:
Hypnosis Replacing Anesthesia in Brain Surgery
Dr. Ilyess Zemmoura of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tours and his colleagues have been evaluating the effects of using anesthesia since 2011. Focusing primarily on brain cancer patients, he and his team have been conducting awake operations to remove brain cancer tumors; 37 of the 48 patients studied underwent brain surgery using hypnosis sedation.
Hypnosis Helps Accelerate the Healing of Broken Bones
Harvard Magazine highlights a study performed by Dr. Carol Ginandes that focuses on whether hypnosis could accelerate the healing of broken bones. Her findings concluded that when a radiologist studied the X-rays of patients who received hypnotherapeutic care on top of standard orthopedic care, "The hypnotized patients showed more rapid healing. Six weeks after fracture, the hypnosis group had healed to an extent that would normally take eight and a half weeks."
The Incredible Hypnotist Cures Phobias on Camera
When he's not entertaining, and making spectators laugh out loud during his hypnosis shows, Richard Barker also provides hypnotherapy to individuals looking to overcome a traumatic phobia. These real-life case studies can be seen on his YouTube Channel.
Hypnosis to Cure Fear of Heights

Hypnosis to Cure Fear of Spiders
Click here to watch as Richard Barker hypnotizes a woman on daytime television and helps her tackle her fears of spiders. As you'll see, by the end of the session, the once scared woman holds a tarantula in her hands.
Hypnosis to Cure Fear of Bugs
Click here to watch the hypnotist, Richard Barker, work his science on a woman that is deathly afraid of palmetto bugs. Watch as she runs out of the room when the bugs are placed near her and by the end of her session, she boldly holds them in her hands.
The Religious Approach
If you're a pious person, you may try to convince the non-believer that dreams are real because they're referenced in the Bible. As seen in the New Testament, Joseph receives a message in his dreams that Mary is pregnant:
"But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.'" Matthew 1:20
The Roman Catholic Church has issued statements as early as 1847 that hypnosis, with strict guidelines, is permitted in the religion. The late Pope Pius has even given his approval of hypnosis. He stated that the use of hypnosis by health care professionals for diagnosis and treatment is permitted.
In 1956, in an address from the Vatican on hypnosis in childbirth, the Pope gave these guidelines:
Hypnotism is a serious matter, and not something to be dabbled in.
In its scientific use, the precautions dictated by both science and morality are to be used.
Under the aspect of anesthesia, it is governed by the same principles as other forms of anesthesia.
This is to say that the rules of good medicine apply to the use of hypnosis.
So Does Hypnosis Really Work in Hypnosis Shows?
We hope that this brief article has showcased some of the arguments that show how hypnosis is not only really, but how -over the years- it's been widely adopted, practiced and perfected.
Our hypnotist comedy shows are 100% real and authentic. Watch Barker's Live Hypnosis Videos and decide for yourself if hypnosis if fake. The hypnotist Richard Barker doesn't employ participants or hire actors to appear in his world comedy hypnotist shows. The Incredible Hypnotist has worked with well-respected and trusted media sources and individuals. Take a look at some of the celebrities that have genuinely been hypnotized in this short clip and determine for yourself if "everyone" is faking the effects of hypnosis.
Want to learn more about hypnosis and how it works on a deeper level? Richard Barker has wrote a book, "Selling Hypnotically," that dives deep into the inner workings and modern uses of hypnosis. You can view a sample of the book here on Amazon or just marvel at the phenomenon from afar watching Richard's many publicized hypnotist comedy shows.

One of the reagents that is commonly used for oxidation in organic chemistry is chromic acid. This reagent is straightforward to use once deciphered. However, there are a vast number of different ways that textbooks (and instructors) show it being used in reactions.
Chromic acid, \(H_2CrO_4\), is a strong acid and is a reagent for oxidizing alcohols to ketones and carboxylic acids. For reasons primarily concerning safety and convenience, chromic acid tends to be produced in a reaction vessel as needed (through the addition of acid to a source of chromium), rather than being dispensed from a bottle.
This is where the trouble begins. Choosing a source of chromium to produce \(H_2CrO_4\) is a lot like choosing a favorite brand of bottled water. Beyond the packaging, they're pretty much all the same. Depending on which textbook or instructor you have, however, you might see several different ways to do this, and it can be very confusing.
The key point is that \(Na_2CrO_4\) (sodium chromate), \(Na_2Cr_2O_7\) (sodium dichromate), \(KCrO_4\) (potassium chromate), \(K_2Cr_2O_7\) (potassium dichromate), and \(CrO_3\) (chromium trioxide) are alike in one crucial manner: when they are combined with aqueous acid, each of them forms \(H_2CrO_4\), and ultimately it is \(H_2CrO_4\) that is involved in the important chemistry. Unfortunately I rarely see this point explained in textbooks. I remember this causing some confusion for me when I took the course. The K or Na ions present are just spectators.
Once \(H_2CrO_4\) is formed, its reactions are pretty straightforward: it converts primary alcohols (and aldehydes) to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones.
It does this through the addition of the alcohol oxygen to chromium, which makes it a good leaving group; a base (water being the most likely culprit) can then remove a proton from the carbon, forming a new π bond and breaking the O-Cr bond.
Due to its high toxicity, chromic acid tends to find very little use in the organic chemistry laboratory outside of undergrad labs, and there are far more useful reagents available for performing these transformations.

Robert "Bob" Sullivan
October 3, 1927 - January 13, 2018
Robert "Bob" Sullivan, 90, of Sistersville, WV went to be with his Lord and Savior on January 13, 2018 surrounded by family at his residence. Bob was born October 3, 1927 in Pennsboro, WV, the son of the late C. R. "Pop" and Grace Bengel Sullivan. He was a 1945 graduate of Pennsboro High School where he lettered in three sports, after which he served 15 months in the U.S. Navy prior to the end of WWII. Bob earned his B.S. degree in Physical Education and Mathematics in 1950 from West Virginia Wesleyan College where he lettered in both football and baseball. That same year he was united in marriage to Ramona Minear of Pennsboro, WV. He later received his Masters Degree from West Virginia University. Bob's career in Public Education spanning 33 years included 14 years as a Mathematics teacher and coach holding positions at Gary Junior High School in McDowell County (1950-1952), Parsons High School in Parsons, WV (1952-1956) and Magnolia High School in New Martinsville, WV (1956- 1964). Following his coaching career, he briefly taught Mathematics in Wood County at Parkersburg High School before being appointed Director of the Neighborhood Youth Corps. Bob served as Principal of Williamstown High School from 1966-1971 and Lewis County High School from 1971-1973. He was hired as Assistant Superintendent of Tyler County Schools in 1973 and subsequently served as Superintendent of Tyler County Schools before retiring from that position in 1983. Bob's faith in God was his true foundation leading to his devotion and lifelong commitment to his church. This service included lay speaking, Sunday School teaching, Youth and Men's Ministry and lending his "strong" voice to the choir. His faith also led him to actively serve his respective local communities through his participation in various fraternal and civic organizations. In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 51 years, Ramona, son, Robert Bruce Sullivan, brothers, Carl Rollynn Sullivan, Jr. and David Sullivan, sister, Betty Jo Sullivan, great grandson, Ashton Fink and step grandson, Trevor Batton. Bob was blessed with a second marriage in 2004 to his dear wife, Jane A. (Batton) Sullivan of New Martinsville who survives him. He is also survived by son, Joseph Sullivan (Penny) of Columbus, OH, daughter, Kathryn Hutzler (Chuck) of Parkersburg, WV, brother, Alfred Sullivan (Lou) of Wadsworth, OH, sister-in-law, Norma Sullivan of Berlin, OH, cousin, Carol Mitchell of TX, grandchildren, Alisha Fink (Stephen) of Parkersburg, WV, Matthew Sullivan of Columbus, OH, Joel Sullivan (Missy)of Dayton, OH, Charles Allen Hutzler (Chrissy) of Dahlgren, VA, Laura Sullivan Holmes (Chris) of Columbus, OH, Jonathan Hutzler of Parkersburg, WV and Stephen Hutzler of Morgantown, WV and newly of Saratoga, WY. Also surviving are ten great grandchildren, Anabelle, Genny, Judy, Andrew, Lauren, Mark, Aubrianna, Jude, Teagan and Emelia. Additional survivors are step-sons, Tim Batton (Maura) of Canfield, OH, Jeff Batton (Tina) and Ben Batton (Carolyn) both of Macedonia, OH, and Bill Batton of Salem, OH, 17 step grandchildren, and 14 step great grandchildren, and numerous dear family and friends. Highlights and honors of his professional career include the following: Guiding eight boys' basketball teams at Magnolia High School in New Martinsville from 1956-1964 to a combined 123-67 won-loss record and the school's first State Championship in 1961 in Class AA, leading his basketball teams in 1963 and 1964 to Class AA State Runner-Up titles with the 1964 team achieving a 25-1 record and the first unbeaten regular season in Magnolia school history, coaching the 1960 and 1961 Magnolia Football teams to OVAC titles, a perfect 10-0 record for the 1960 football season, being named the WV All-Sports High School Coach of the Year for 1961 by the WV Sports Writers Association, coaching the WV All-Star team in the Ohio-West Virginia All-Star game in 1962, receiving the Ohio Valley Basketball Coaches' Association Award at 28th Samuel A. Mumley OVAC All-Star Classic in 2005, serving as President of the WV Secondary Schools Principals' Commission from 1971-1972, and the honor of being selected to run for the WV State Senate in 1994. Bob was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend who will be deeply missed. He dearly enjoyed keeping in contact with his former students and his players whom he affectionately referred to as "his boys". He was truly a sports enthusiast and was a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan. He loved fresh fruit cups, popcorn, ice cream and will almost certainly be looking in heaven for tossed salad with Blue Cheese dressing. Visitation will be from 2-8 pm Wednesday, January 17 at Myers Funeral Home, 600 Main St., Sistersville. Celebration service of his life will be held Thursday, January 18 at the Sistersville First United Methodist Church, 610 Main St., Sistersville at 11:00 am with Rev. Brian Seders and Rev.

I wrote about anti-science Vani Hari, AKA the Food Babe a few weeks ago when she pissed me off for being as scientifically literate as a bag of crabs.
Some quick background for those of you not familiar with the topic: Food Babe (FB) is a prominent health activist/lifestyle guru thingy person who reads ingredients on stuff, picks out something she doesn't understand, then orders her army of pitch fork wielding internet goons to the in-boxes and front doors of various super prominent food corporations to get them to remove scary ingredient.
Got it? Great, let's kick on!
Oh nose! Those delocalised electrons are looking totally pissed off!
Hari cites a whole bunch of research about why BHT is all horrible and stuff; and superficially, she has a case. A 1989 paper links BHT with increased tumor promotion in mouse lung and a 2004 paper links it with estrogenic activity. But here's where things begin to go badly wrong for Hari; in the two examples she mentions, the first was conducted using different dosages and modes of administration to anything reflecting human consumption; and the second study bravely "tested the hypothesis that commercial composites … exhibit estrogenic activity in vitro [my emphasis]".
A third study (sorry if this is getting a bit boring) concludes 'The role of BHT in the development of hepatocellular tumours requires further elucidation' i.e concludes fairly inconclusively.
Science and evidence is a curious thing: it's about looking at all the evidence, even the data that flatly contradicts your opinion. So is the evidence that FB lists the whole picture, a balanced appraisal of the peer reviewed data?
A crank like Food Babe cherry picks data. Check this: The National Toxicology Program found no evidence that BHT causes cancer in rats and the European Food Safety Authority even have clear recommendations about safe daily dosages.
And this study even looked at BHT as a possible cancer prevention strategy.
The Food Babe is a wart on the face of science. She has no understanding of toxicology, chemistry…or any other scientific discipline. She presents herself as a champion who is going to save us from evil industry. Unfortunately her arguments have traction with the mostly scientifically uneducated public and industry gives in to her nonsense.
There may well be a logical reason to remove BHT – there may be more cost effective alternatives available, for example – but just because you don't like the sound of something and because you're dishonestly presenting the data, doesn't give you the right to bully anyone and go at it again.
Disagree? Agree? Go to Twitter to tell me.

When's the next Aussie rate cut?
Macro 5 minutes to read
Eleanor Creagh
Australian Market Strategist, Saxo
Summary: The increasingly poor state of the Australian economy and the Reserve Bank's failure to meet its objectives, combine to make another rate cut inevitable. But the market is split on whether this will happen in July or August.
The minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's June 4 policy meeting, where the official cash rate was lowered to a new record low of 1.25%, were released today and clearly outline that further easing is on the cards.
Despite more cuts being widely expected, the Aussie dollar sank to a five-month low , closing in on levels last seen in the January flash crash, and yields on the Australian Government three-year note and 10-year bond slid. With the terminal cash rate likely to land a lot lower than current levels, yields will still have further to fall.
Most of the information conveyed in the minutes has already been covered in the speech by Governor Lowe that followed the June 4 move to lower the cash rate and in other communications from the central bank following the June 4 decision. The key focus now is on how aggressively the RBA will move on further policy easing. The minutes clearly state the expectation that further easing is incoming, saying "more likely than not that a further easing in monetary policy would be appropriate in the period ahead". But what is less clear is the timing of further rate cuts as a certain amount of ambiguity remains in the statement "period ahead".
Source: Minutes of the Monetary Policy Meeting of the Reserve Bank Board
As we've previously outlined, this outcome is inescapable as further stimulus will need to be injected into the Australian economy for the RBA to even come close to meeting its objectives, and unemployment needs to fall by a significant amount before generating inflationary pressures.
And as we highlighted last week, communication from the RBA represented a crucial shift in the its assessment of the labour market which will have a material impact in lowering the bar for further rate cuts. The RBA now estimates the "non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment" (NAIRU), which refers to a theoretical level of unemployment below which inflation would be expected to pick up, is now around 4.5% and could be lower.
This highlighted that the RBA is woefully behind the curve and a long way off meeting its mandate of maintaining full employment given that unemployment is currently at 5.2%, so it will have to move to aggressively cut policy rates. Especially once you factor in the limited ability for the banks to pass on further rate cuts as the official cash rate creeps towards the lower bound.
May labour force data released last week saw unemployment remain at 5.2%, well above the 4.5% needed for the RBA to satisfy its objective of full employment. Another significant hurdle for the RBA is the substantial spare capacity within the labour market, preventing material upward pressure on wages. Underutilisation will need to fall substantially from the current level of 13.7% before seeing a material uptick in wages.
Source:Commonwealth Bank
So, we know the RBA will be ramping up rate cuts, but the timing of a follow up 25 basis points rate cut is still up for debate. The market is currently split on when the RBA will follow up with a second rate cut with the futures market pricing a 50% probability of a cut in July.
Given the glacial pace with which the RBA has woken up to the marked deterioration in economic growth August could be more likely, giving the RBA more time to assess the impact of easing, the economic outlook and the prospect of fiscal stimulus, but July is certainly still an option.
The RBA has materially shifted its assessment of the labour market and level of spare capacity that remains so there may be little to gain from holding off until August. Given that the RBA's communication strategy appears to be shifting with the outlook for policy being much more clearly articulated to market participants in speeches as opposed to post-meeting statements, Governor Lowe's speech on Thursday on The Labour Market and Spare Capacity should be a key indicator of whether the RBA will follow up with a second rate cut in July or August and how aggressively the central bank will move to meet its targets.

Problems with the bladder and urination may indicate cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder that causes a burning sensation when passing urine. Other bladder problems include frequent urination, or its opposite, stagnation or retention of urine in the blad?der, leading to bladder distension. There may be pain in the bladder area while urinating, a condition called strangury. Let's look at each of these.
'Amla' is a rich natural source of vitamin C. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is essential for the formation, growth, and repair of bone, skin, and connective tissue (which binds other tissues and organs together and includes tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels). Vitamin C helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. It helps the body absorb iron, which is needed to make red blood cells. Vitamin C assists in the healing of burns and wounds.?Vitamin C is an antioxidant: It protects cells against damage by free radicals.
Take ice cubes in a cloth and rub over the surface.
Keep the injured area in an elevated portion if it is in the extremities.
Wipe the area clean. Can rub the turmeric with milk in the form of paste and apply over the injury. It will aid in healing of the injury.
Have enough of foods containing vitamin C.
Leaf latex of 'calotropis procera' when applied over fresh cuts, the bleeding stops.
Dosage : - 20 ml thrice daily is recommened?for bleeding conditions which may be due to haemophillea or any other disease.
Gum Care powder: Massage gently over the gums and then rinse with water.
Amla Saar: 15ml with equal quantity of water after meal.
From the Ayurvedic perspective, blood that fails to clot in a timely manner is due to a pitta imbalance. Excess pitta in the blood makes the blood hot, sharp, and penetrating and doesn't allow natural coagulation and clotting to occur. The basic prescription, then, is to follow a pitta-soothing diet, use pitta-soothing herbs, and take specifically hemostatic herbs, herbs that directly help to stop bleeding.
To stop external bleeding, start by applying cold. Use some ice (plain or wrapped in a cloth), which helps to constrict the blood vessels and stop bleeding. A bag of frozen vegetables from the freezer will do the job in an emergency.
If the bleeding is in an extremity, raising the arm or leg higher than the rest of the body.
Another effective approach is to apply some aloe. A pinch of aloe powder mixed into a paste with a pinch of turmeric powder will immediately stop most bleeding. Aloe vera gel will also be effective.
Other astringent herbs are also effective. The Ayurvedic herbs lodhra, kushtha,arjuna and bilva are effective to stop bleeding, either alone or mixed in equal pro. portions into a paste that can be applied directly. They are also effective taken internally for continuing problems with bleeding; use 1/2 teaspoon 2 or 3 times a day.
For external bleeding, you will find this ancient, simple remedy effective! Take a small ball of sterilized cotton, ana I burn it. (Be sure it is real cotton, not the synthetic material often found these days, which, will be totally ineffective.) When the cotton turns to black ash, wait for it to cool down, and then apply it to the bleeding wound ana. press. The ash will stick to the bleeding' point and stop the bleeding instantaneously. Within a couple of days a scab will form, ana the wound will completely heal.
Note: Don't remove the ash; leave it on the wound to form a scab. Otherwise you will open the cut again.
Many times just drink?ing some cold water will stop the bleeding, as coolness constricts blood vessels.

Fight Breaks Out At Arkansas Restaurant Over Social Distancing Rules
KB June 30, 2020 News Leave a comment
A fight broke out at a restaurant in Arkansas over people getting too close, but it appears they got much closer during the brawl.
Video shows four people arguing at the Saltgrass Steak House in Little Rock, Arkansas, Saturday night.
However, according to a police report obtained by TMZ, the fight broke out when one customer complained about others getting too close for comfort and claimed someone had coughed on her.
The black woman in the video claimed a white man, wearing the USA shirt, and his friends were not staying six feet away from her. When she told them to practice social distancing, they began harassing her.
Accounts of what happened vary, but tensions escalated into an all-out brawl involving almost everyone in the restaurant.
A black couple had to defend themselves against 10+ racists while trying to enjoy dinner and following COVID-19 guidelines at Saltgrass in Little Rock, AR! Allegedly the group of people, harassed, spit, cursed, hit, pushed, and poked them multiple times before a fight ensued. pic.twitter.com/zK5A94qxMo

At one point, a man at the bar smashed a bottle over another man's head. Seth Crews was at the restaurant with his brother when they heard screams coming from the bar.
"All the restaurant employees were trying to help; they were just in shock, Iike the rest of us," he said. "The guy came up and was touching in his back and giving him a little shove, and he just wasn't taking it, and that's when it all started."
Two of the men were cited for battery, and everyone else was released without arrest.
"I think if someone is telling you to stay away from them, you probably shouldn't get near them, and maybe if you don't want to get coronavirus, don't go to a restaurant," Crews said.

How good are you at looking after yourself? My guess would be that you have bursts of enthusiasm for good self care and then when the going gets stressful much of it drops by the wayside. Good intentions fade and it's much easier to grab something ready made on the way home from work along with a glass of wine or three. I'm guessing at that scenario because that's exactly what I do. Or at least I did before I got ill with serious gut problems resulting in major (and life saving, thank you NHS) surgery. That does tend to concentrate the mind somewhat. I'm almost a reformed character, although I do fall off the healthy eating wagon from time to time.
For the last few years I have read widely around the subject of good nutrition and the link with health, in particular the biome and research from, among others, Dr Tim Spector. One name was cropping up regularly, that of Jeannette Hyde and her book The Gut Makeover. Jeannette is a 'born again' nutritionist, by which I mean as a successful journalist she was a fully paid up member of the beige eating club, i.e. croissants for breakfast, bought sandwiches for lunch, ready made pasta grabbed on way home, with copious amounts of wine on the side. She was unhealthy and unhappy and made some major life changes, one of which included studying nutrition for 4 years and changing career. Her story is fascinating but I'll say no more as we have an interview in the pipeline.
Last Saturday I did a one day course with Jeanette in London (highly recommended) and it has given me so much food for thought. Not least that we were all women attending although it was open to anyone, and all of us, in one way or another, were recovering from pretty stressful periods in our lives, not all connected with illness, most just the rigours of life and finding a new path. It crystallised for me some thoughts about a brand new course that I have been cogitating on for some time. I'd really like to know what you think. Call this 'product research'.
You know about RenewYou and Speak Up. RenewYou is a one day personal development course for any women needing space and time to think about herself. It's been running for years with a huge success record. Most recently it has been taken on by the University of the West Of England, and by Edinburgh University and there is a network of trainers delivering it, mainly in house, and it's been hugely well received in South Africa. (I know, who knew? It's because there is a really enthusiastic, talented independent trainer based there.) I am running a rather unique version of RenewYou at my home on March 27th. I've just finalised the date and a few of the original women who signed up cannot make it so we have 2, or possibly 3, spaces available. If you're interested please do get in touch. I will be providing lunch and refreshments courtesy of Jeannette's wonderful recipes.
Speak Up is very much aimed at women in careers and looks at gendered styles of communication in the workplace and the impact this can have on women's career development. It's all based on actual research and is very much personal and career development. It's a great day; I love delivering it and women love doing it. We have a lot of fun amongst the serious stuff, too.
Both days end with a plan for participants to follow.
New Course for Women – Any Thoughts?
However, I have been increasingly thinking that maybe it's time to add a third course with a plan optional. I also think that women who have attended either or both of the other courses might really enjoy a day with no pressure to make a plan. A day to simply reflect, de-stress, and relax. That women who have had their careers, or who have stopped working, or just don't want to think about work, will enjoy and find beneficial, life enhancing. It will be very small, an absolute maximum of 6 women and it will be in my home near Bath. We may be sitting around the kitchen table, (how many good things in life have happened around a kitchen table?) or in the garden weather permitting. (That'll make me get on top of the weeds!) We might even end up chilling in the hot tub if you want to. I don't want it to be in an impersonal hotel, however lovely it is. I want to look after you, cook for you, help you relax, and give you some creative exercises that will (forgive me I'm going a bit tree huggy here) feed your soul. I want to send you home refreshed and feeling far less stressed. No pressure, just time out for you.
Have you noticed that there's something in the zeitgeist about women reclaiming their bodies? I have already talked about Lucy-Ann Holmes excellent book (see here for my review Of Don't Hold My Head Down) which came out earlier in February. Some years ago I interviewed Laura Dodsworth (see here) when she produced her book of photos of women's breasts, ordinary breasts, not sexually posed, but simply real women of all ages. Then she brought out one of men's dangly bits, which I also blogged on, and she has done it again. What was left, you may ask? Well, women's vulvas. Most women haven't even seen their vulvas and let's be honest, it's not that easy to get a good look, is it? The Guardian newspaper had a great article on it last week end, complete with pictures, which you can read here. Prepare to have your preconceptions challenged!
Please do get in touch about the special RenewYou course and if the mystery course is of interest. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Changing People licences experienced trainers and organisations to deliver its International RenewYou programme for women.

The widening of FM 1093, and the extension of the Westpark Tollway between the Grand Parkway and the City of Fulshear has opened! We look forward to the widening of the segment of FM 1093 through the City of Fulshear, which is scheduled to be completed toward the end of 2018. These projects serve as significant infrastructure improvements for residents in Fulshear Run.
HEB has acquired a 17-acre tract of land on FM 1093, less than one mile west of Fulshear Run. While no timetable for construction on this major grocery store has been announced, this transaction is another sign of positive, planned commercial development in Fulshear. Heading into 2018, high-quality development of shopping, dining, and services continues in the Fulshear area, providing numerous convenient options for Fulshear Run homeowners.


Ten days or so ago I asked for donations for a charity walk a friend and I were about to do. Normally, in a very English way, we don't ask for donations for this sort of thing, but just make one ourselves and then feel guilty we haven't raised more. This time I decided to ask, and was blown away by the response. With direct donations to the Alzheimer's Society and cash donations we raised close to £550.
And in the beautiful grounds of Hall Barn, once home to Edmund Waller*, last Sunday, we barely exerted ourselves for five whole gentle kilometres. What was very, and rather unexpectedly hard, however, was hearing the stories of other walkers. Dementia affects so many lives in such horrible ways, and this was reflected by the fact that many people who had donated said how they had experienced it in their families.
I said I would run part of it, and I did – all of about three strides. So we didn't get a picture, but if we had it wouldn't have been pretty. I will post another picture, sadly from a few years ago, of someone who would have recognised and been truly grateful, as we are, for the kind, kind donations and support for such an important charity.
