Seniors 65+ Now Eligible to Receive COVID-19 Vaccine to Effectively
and Efficiently Increase Vaccine Distribution, Reduce Hospitalizations and Save Lives
New Tool to Notify People of Vaccine Eligibility to Launch Next Week
SACRAMENTO – The Governor announced a new system to let people know if they are eligible to receive a vaccine, and if not yet eligible, to register for a notification via email or text when they are eligible. That system is expected to launch next week. A second phase of that system will help counties, cities and others run mass vaccination events. This will include a way for eligible members of the public to schedule their vaccination appointments at those events. Community vaccination events are only one way for eligible Californians to receive their vaccines. When available, the public can also go to their doctor or pharmacy to receive the vaccine.
For more information on the state's efforts to distribute a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine in a fair way to everyone who wants it, visit the Vaccinate All 58 webpage.

Foundation Awards $10 Million to Establish Ida Institute
Wed Mar 5, 2008 12:00 pm
William Demant and Wife Ida Emilie Foundation announced that it has designated a grant of $10 million to establish an independent educational institute to support hearing care professionals. The Ida Institute, named in honor of Ida Emilie Demant, will assist hearing care professionals in helping hearing impaired people address the physical, psychological and social challenges of hearing loss.
"The Ida Institute will work through a process of professional collaboration to support new angles of inquiry on hearing loss and its impact," stated Lise Lotte Bundesen, director of the new institute. "The Ida Institute will serve as a catalyst for knowledge sharing and the development of innovative and practical tools that will be shared freely."
The Ida Institute will look at the process people with hearing loss experience from the realization of possible hearing loss to acceptance to finding the right solution and learning to live a full life with their hearing impairment. Bundesen noted, "We will consider the many physical, psychological and social barriers an individual encounters on this 'patient journey' and develop new tools, guidelines and recommendations to enable hearing care professionals to provide better patient care and counsel."
The William Demant and Wife Ida Emilie Foundation statutes mandate that income, which is derived through its ownership of the majority of shares in William Demant Holding, be used to support the needs of hearing-impaired individuals and organizations.
The Foundation is also known as the Oticon Foundation. In accordance with Foundation directives, the Ida Institute will not represent any commercial or company interests but will focus on topics and areas of study that deliver maximum benefit for hearing professionals and the field of hearing care as a whole.
"It is important to point out that the Institute is an independent, collaborative educational forum," explained Bundesen. "We will engage experts in diverse disciplines and from a variety of organizations, including academia and industry. The Foundation grant gives us tremendous freedom to engage the experts needed – whatever their affiliation -- to truly assist hearing professionals in serving people with hearing loss."

Kidney Transplantation From Unrelated Donor: Things You Need to Know
Section 1: Qualifying Criteria for Unrelated Kidney Transplantation
Section 2: Ethics Committee Meeting and its Purpose
Section 3: Tests Required
Section 4: Documentation Required
Section 5: Cost Implications
Kidney disease kills millions of people around the world. It is estimated that 31 million people in the US alone are suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which accounts for almost 10 percent of the adult population. Kidney Transplantation From Unrelated Donor is a reality in today's world.
Patients suffering from CKD often need dialysis or kidney transplantation to survive. However, it is estimated that only half of the people across the world who need hemodialysis or kidney transplantation actually end up receiving treatment. Nearly 2 million people die prematurely every year because of the absence of treatment for kidney failure.
Kidney Transplant: Conditions, Procedure and Recovery
One of the main reasons why so many people die is the unavailability of donors in the immediate family. Additionally, the quality of life of people who wish to remain of dialysis for the rest of their lives and not go for a transplant also continues to deteriorate.
However, another major problem is ignorance about the laws pertaining to kidney donation and kidney transplant across the world. When people do not have a suitable donor in their family, they usually think that there is no way to undergo a transplant. This is because most of the countries only allow kidney transplant from a blood relative. However, this is not true about all countries.
Patients who do not have a blood-relative and who can donate a kidney can still get transplantation done. This is possible through an unrelated, yet emotionally attached donor. However, there are only a handful of countries that allow that and Singapore and Turkey are two of them.
Kidney transplantation in Turkey is available at some of the best JCI-certified hospitals in the country. Kidney transplantation in Singapore is equally popular among renal patients.
Patients and families who know that it is possible to get kidney transplantation done from an unrelated yet known donor are often confused about the procedure, how things work out in this case, the documents they need, and the legal implications. The purpose of this blog is to empower the end-stage renal patients by imparting them knowledge about unrelated kidney transplantation.
Check out the Top Hospitals in Singapore for Kidney Transplant
The most important thing that matters in the case of unrelated kidney transplantation is that the donor and the patient should be known to each other for years. However, it is equally important for them to be emotionally attached.
It is important to have a donor who is known and emotionally attached but not someone who is:
Known to the patient but is willing to donate in return of financial help
Known to the patient but has any other interests in return
Not mentally stable
Is not an adult
Not independent enough to make his or her decision
The donor in the case of unrelated kidney transplantation should also fulfill the following criteria:
Within the age group of 18 and 50
No history of any surgery before
No history of any disease or underlying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes
Know about the Legal Formalities for Kidney Transplant
Yes! I want to Know
All the case of unrelated kidney transplantation has to undergo Ethics Committee Interview for the final approval on the surgery. The purpose of the Ethics Committee Meeting is to identify that the donor is genuine or whether he or she is actually known to the patient and his family or not.
The Ethics Committee Meeting is usually held twice a month in the country that allows kidney transplantation from an unrelated donor. The committee comprises of police offers, psychologists, and doctors.
During the meeting, the patient and the donor are asked distinctive questions. Based on their answers, body language, attitude, and the level of confidence with which they answer, the committee decided whether the case is genuine or if there is organ trafficking involved.
For this reason, the patient and the donor should not try to hide any information from them. If any discrepancy is found or if the committee gets to know that it is a case of paid organ donation or organ trafficking, then there can be serious penalties or even imprisonment under the law of that particular country.
Before the Ethics Committee Meeting takes place, the concerned hospital gets all the investigations done for the patient and the donor. A copy of the reports is submitted to them along with other documentation mentioned later in this article.
In case of patients from a different country who are not comfortable in the local language, a translator is given to facilitate the Q&A session. The patient and the donor are given different translators (approved by the Ministry) to maintain transparency and to rule out a foul play during the entire process.
There are no set questions that the Ethics Committee asks every patient and that totally depends on the patient and the donor and their comfort level in responding to questions. However, as per our previous patients, the following are some of the areas that the Ethics Committee asks questions around:
Names of the immediate children, siblings, or family members
Family background, residential location etc.
How do you know each other and since when?
How is their house, number of rooms, number of family members etc?
Why are you donating the kidney?
Are you aware of the risks of kidney donation?
Are you under any stress of donating your kidney?
You can also check the Patient testimonial of a patient who had undergone a Kidney Transplantation in Turkey. He explains to you how the process of Kidney Transplant takes place, what kind of questions are asked in the Ethics Committee and his review of the same process in a Foreign Medical Destination.
For a technical approval on the case, the following reports of the patient and the donor must be submitted for review before the case proceeds any further:
Blood group and other work-up
Serology tests (HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C)
Renal ultrasound
Whole abdomen ultrasound
Doppler ultrasound of the kidney vessels
Tissue compatibility tests (HLA mapping)
The concerned hospital may or may not decide to repeat all the tests when the patient arrives. In addition to these tests, a cardiac and psychiatric evaluation is also carried out. Once everything is done and approved, all reports are submitted to the Ethics Committee for their review, a few days in advance of the meeting.
Hospitals that conduct kidney transplantation in Turkey from an unrelated donor usually require the following set of documentation:
Birth certificate for the patient and the donor
Family records and proof of relationship (old photographs, documented records etc.)
Passport copies of the patient and donor
Written notary verified consent of the husband/wife if the donor is married
All of these documents must have Apostille authorization and later are translated into the Turkish language for submission to the Ethics Committee. Hospitals that conduct kidney transplant in Singapore from an unrelated donor require an extra set of documentation. Some of the documents include the following:
Family tree of the recipient along with name, age, blood group, and health status
Family tree of the donor along with name, age, and occupation
Official proof explaining why can't a blood relative donate a kidney
Donor's consent in the presence of The Commissioner of Oath in Singapore
Financially independent donors to submit bank passbook or statement for the last 6 months, educational certificates, income tax return, appointment letter, and/or a copy of health or life insurance among other documents
Kidney transplant in Turkey can be done from a donor who is aged above 18. But kidney transplant in Singapore is usually done from a donor aged above 21.
The cost of kidney transplantation in Turkey at a JCI-certified hospital starts at around $15000 (pre-investigations excluded). The cost of kidney transplantation in Singapore at a JCI-certified hospital starts at about $40000 (pre-investigations excluded).
Looking for a Cost Estimate for Kidney Transplant
Get me the Best Quotes
The overall kidney transplantation cost in either of these countries, however, may depend on several factors, including the following:
Pre-surgical investigations for the patient and donor
Food expenses
Cost of document translation
Follow-up cost after discharge
Cost of flights

Primal food/life. Strength. The mind/body connection. Balance.
"She said, 'You wanna go for a ride?'" -- Live Review: The Afghan Whigs, Philly and NYC, 9/12/17 and 9/15/17
"It's a really good band, man. We're playing great shows. Even on an off night, we're better than most. And if we're on, no one's better."
-- Greg Dulli
If a band leader is going to talk like that, his band better deliver the goods.
On Tuesday night at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, and again on Friday in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom, the Afghan Whigs validated all of Greg Dulli's claims -- in spades.
The number of bands that have successfully come back after a long layoff and released great new albums is small. Mission of Burma certainly did that. Sleater-Kinney did too. So did Superchunk. But it's a short list of successes in that regard. (And no, I'm not going to name the failures, but their ranks are legion). The Afghan Whigs, two albums into a career restart after their 2001 split, are breathing the rarefied air of bands that have truly done a reunion right.
My reaction to 2014's Do to the Beast album -- their first after the layoff -- was something along the lines of: "Very good, gentlemen, but I feel like you can do even better next time." It was a solid effort, but not up to their very best. When your previous output includes a three-album run with the brilliance of Congregation (1992), Gentlemen (1993), and Black Love (1996), standards are high. But on their latest album, the Afghan Whigs stepped up their game to meet higher expectations. In Spades is not only a collection of ten great songs; it has cohesion. It's truly an album -- a record that sounds its best when played in order. Sure, "Demon in Profile" is a menacing/soulful single unto itself, but In Spades is no collection of random songs. It flows.
I wondered how the new album would translate to the live setting. It's a little quieter on the whole than most AW albums.
I shouldn't have wondered.
Tuesday night in Philly, we got the more typical tour setlist. It looked like this. The set was heavy on the new album, but it also spanned the Whigs' career. And, as always, it did so with a little extra power than the studio albums.
This band has made its living delivering brilliant albums full of soul/funk influenced rock, but nothing on those records fully prepares you for their live show. It's James Brown fronting the Who with more than a small dose of punk rock. It's why you started listening to rock music in the first place: the sweat, the grime, the dynamics, the groove. That Dulli quote that led this article? Fuck yes. That's the thing with this band: a "normal" AW show is better than most bands can offer; an "on fire" one is the product of one of the very best live bands in the world.
In both Philly and New York, I witnessed the "on fire" version of the band.
Philly highlights mostly came from the "pin your ears to the back wall" version of the Whigs -- the band that thunders and grooves with metallic precision ("Debonair," Light As a Feather," "Honky's Ladder," "John the Baptist," "Amphetamines and Coffee"). But it wasn't only the big/loud/funky Afghan Whigs that ruled the roost that evening. The quiet hush of "Can Rova" -- complete with a gorgeous tribute to recently-deceased guitarist Dave Rosser -- left no dry eyes in the house, and the lighter "slight return" take on "Going to Town" was unexpectedly powerful amidst its deep smolder. Additionally, somehow -- fucking somehow -- the band figured out how to make "Demon in Profile" even more soulful: have opener Har Mar Superstar (he's the guy lip-synching in the above video) actually sing the song while the Whigs backed him. It was devastating. And then there were the final two songs -- the Who-ish "Summer's Kiss" where drummer Patrick Keeler added Keith Moon-ish fills that the original cried out for, but never had, and the classic Whigs closer, "Faded," which featured a foray into "How Deep is Your Love" before heading back into its own Who-ish finale.
I was spent by the end of it. "These are the end times, Philadelphia. It's time to make some noise," Dulli had exhorted us. We made the noise. They made the bigger noise. It was a goddamn cathartic roar of a gig.
"How could they top that?" I wondered.
"Hold my beer, dude," the band replied.
Friday night's show at the Bowery Ballroom was intended to be something special right off the bat. It was announced later than the rest of the tour and the format was preordained: the band would play a first set consisting entirely of the In Spades album start-to-finish, and then there would be a second set. Yes, Har Mar came out and sang "Demon In Profile" and it was even tighter than in Philly. The full-album format also meant that the three lesser-played songs on In Spades would get a full airing. Of those, both "Copernicus" and "The Spell" were played perfectly, but, wow.... "I Got Lost."
Greg Dulli spoke to the crowd just before the band launched into "I Got Lost." He told us that, live, it was the least-played song on the record, but that it also held a special place in his heart because it was the one he wrote after he learned of Dave Rosser's terminal cancer diagnosis. Then he told us something that hit my punk-rock heart hard. He spoke of Grant Hart's death and told us: "If I hadn't seen Husker Du back in 1984, I wouldn't be up on this stage." I have no doubt that that statement is true, because Husker Du changed a lot of lives, mine included. Then Dulli said that he hung out twice with Harry Dean Stanton, and a smile crossed his face. "I Got Lost" felt like a New Orleans funeral for the honor roll of the recently-deceased: a triumphant mix of sorrow and celebration.
The song that closed the first set -- "Into the Floor" -- continued that theme. "I remember you always this way," Dulli sang, before letting the band thunder for the last minute of the song and bring it to a close. It was a brilliant move playing the album from beginning to end like that. All of its studio track-to-track cohesion shone through amidst that extra BOOM that the live Whigs bring to everything.
And then there was set number two. That second set was a mix of the familiar from the tour -- four from Do To the Beast that made frequent, if not nightly, appearances in the setlist --and then the surprises. There were some covers: Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover (which had also been played in Philly), "Dear Prudence" (which, despite being a straight take on a Beatles song, really was a hell of a version) and Sinead O'Connor's "Mandinka."
It's 48 hours later and I am still singing "Mandinka" because of how great the Afghan Whigs' version of that one was.
Dulli joked right after that one: "That vocal was so high my balls are way up in my body." Judging by what followed, he recovered quickly.
The surprises didn't end there. One of my favorite songs from the '90s run by this band was "My Enemy." They haven't played it much on the current tour, so in the spirit of "why not?" they whipped it out on Friday night. The fact that it sounded like it had been played every night was a testament to just how tight this band is live. It was just like this one, which I give you because Dave Rosser is in it:
There were two other highlights to the second set at Bowery Ballroom: a "Debonair" that was somehow just a little more menacing and savage than the one in Philly, and a version of the Twilight Singers' "Teenage Wristband" that was the sort of life-affirming take on a crowd singing along to a balls-out rock song that still has me flying high a couple days later. I don't have a video of Friday night's version, so, in keeping with the theme of giving you a version with Dave Rosser, there's this:
The Afghan Whigs are a force of nature live. They played, by my count, 32 different songs over these two nights and left me wondering how anyone else can match them live. Many will try -- I see a lot of bands -- but I wonder if any will succeed. Greg Dulli's self-assessment of his band is dead-on.

I play drums. I eat real food, mostly primal/paleo. Most recently, the drumming has been in an early-R.E.M cover band called Lower Wolves, and in various indie, garage-punk and Americana bands in Philadelphia. Playing in a band is more fun than most people my age are having. But anything I say here is my own point of view, not the view of any band that I am in or have been in. As for the real-food/primal/paleo angle, I get a lot of mileage out of that and working out in a local strength/conditioning gym, all in an effort to keep the ravages of time at bay, and to keep having fun. Oh yeah...I'm a lawyer too, but we don't talk about that very much here. You can reach me by email at thepaleodrummer@gmail.com.

Sens. Lindsay Graham and Bill Cassidy originally introduced their plan in mid-July while the Better Care Reconciliation Act held the national spotlight.
After the failures of the BCRA, Obamacare Repeal and Reconciliation Act and the skinny repeal… all bets are now riding on the Graham-Cassidy plan in a last ditch effort to replace Obamacare.
The plan would:
End the Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid expansion funding, replacing them with a block grant fund (which is $26 billion less than current spending). States would determine how the fund is spent. The grant funding ENDS IN 2026.
End Medicaid as an open-ended program.
End Obamacare's individual and employer mandate.
Block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding for one year (essentially defunding the health care provider).
Allow states to determine what essential health benefits are (not a good sign for those suffering with addiction).
Allow Insurers to charge older customers up to five times more than younger customers (under current law, the limit is three times more).
Under the Graham-Cassidy plan, Bloomberg's Steven Dennis points out insurers can also charge you more if you or your child gets sick.
The bill essentially becomes 'repeal and delay' which the CBO found would result in 32 million Americans without insurance. In comparison, the CBO found 22 million fewer Americans would have insurance under the BCRA.
Credit: Jacquelyn Martin/AP
According to Cassidy, they have 48 to 49 votes supporting the bill.
If you feel assured the three amigos of Sens. Murkowski, Collins and McCain will ride into town to save your health care from El Guapo (as they did in July against the skinny repeal), you shouldn't be. John McCain has already voiced support for the Graham-Cassidy plan.
However, Senator Rand Paul has said he would not support the bill. Paul's state of Kentucky and Murkowski's Alaska are both among the list of states estimated to experience the harshest cuts in federal support. Susan Collins' Maine is not.
While Obamacare is under attack, Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation for a single-payer health care system. It's also an incredible waste of time.
Sanders' bill will never happen under this Congress and what infuriates me is that he fucking knows it:
"Look, I have no illusions that under a Republican Senate and a very right-wing House and extremely right-wing president of the Untied States, that suddenly we're going to see a Medicare-for-all, single-payer passed. You're not going to see it. That's obvious."
It's as if you called AAA for a flat tire and they arrived only to hand you a brochure on electric cars.
This is not helping the American citizens who are dangerously close to losing their health care coverage. This is Sanders (disgustingly) maintaining his brand.
It's incredibly frustrating watching as Democratic Senators climb on to this pipe dream like it's the last life boat shipping off from the Titanic (which seems more like a desperate attempt to not shun progressive voters in 2018).
Credit: Twentieth Century Fox
This is the time for Democrats to mobilize with a solution to an immediate issue facing our nation, the destruction of our health care system.
House Majority leader Mitch McConnell said in July if the GOP fails to pass legislation repealing Obamacare; then they will have no choice but to assist the markets. Where is the legislation holding him to this?
Rather than chase a unicorn, Bernie Sanders should have introduced a policy which:
Assists the markets by reinstating the ACA's reinsurance program (protecting against premium increases). The program expired last year.
Guarantees funding for cost-sharing subsidies beyond 2019 (a major factor contributing to the current instability of the markets).
Include a similar stabilization fund as presented in the Senate BCRA bill. However, remove the portion of the Lee-Cruz Amendment which allows insurers access to the funding for non-compliant ACA plans. This funding could also be used to increase credits for younger customers, enticing them to join the marketplace exchanges.
It was public outcry which contributed to ending the GOP's previous attempts at repealing Obamacare, and it will require the same passion and perseverance to save it again.
Although I posted this link in my previous piece, you cannot only find contact info for your state's senator here; but also your governor (especially if you have a Republican governor).
The last thing I want to see is another Rose Garden kegger as these chuckleheads celebrate ending health care for millions of Americans.
And somebody please send Sanders on a vacation.
Update 9/18/17: From the Twitter account of Bloomberg's Sahil Kapur:
McCAIN on Graham-Cassidy: "I am not supportive of the bill yet."
He emphasizes he wants regular order, says CBO non-score affects his view.
— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) September 18, 2017
The CBO has announced it will publish a preliminary assessment of the Graham-Cassidy bill "early next week."
Update 9/22/17: Sen. John McCain has announced he will vote "no."

Reviewed by: Peter Reed
Reviewed: 26 October, 2019
Venue: Southbank Centre, London – Royal Festival Hall
Performance-wise, Sir Edward Elgar's oratorios are honoured more in the breach than in the observance, with only The Dream of Gerontius mainstream choral repertoire on a par with, say, the Requiem settings by Verdi and Britten. The Southbank publicity talked up The Apostles as "the closest Elgar ever got to writing an opera" with the six soloists a team of "top operatic talent", but, rightly, the conductor Martyn Brabbins (replacing Sir Mark Elder) got under the meditative skin of a score that reveals, probably more so than the earlier Gerontius, Elgar as a mystic who could express his Catholic faith in music of visionary and technical adventurousness. Not only that, he also had a deep knowledge of The Bible and theology, which enabled him to create his own text about the earliest days of Christianity as defined by the humanity and, crucially, the failings of three of Christ's entourage: Mary Magdalene, Saint Peter and Judas Iscariot. Arguably, the cod-orientalisms and Mary Magdalene's repentant Fantasy are uneasy, but otherwise the score's level of inspiration and, in the solo roles, characterisation are consistently high, and, despite the music's moments of anguished chromaticism, Brabbins was particularly skillful in suggesting a Parsifal-like piercing masochism without indulging it.
The London Philharmonic Choir and BBC Symphony Chorus were magnificent, not just in the bigger choral episodes – the 'Turn you to the stronghold' conclusion of Part One and the whole of the 'Ascension' were very powerful – but also in the bulk of the work where they worked with orchestra and soloists with incredible finesse and fluency. The nine-strong Apostles Chorus (all from the Royal College of Music) was luxury casting, and they solidified the perspective between soloists and main chorus.
Roderick Williams understands clearly how the part of Jesus is at the centre of things without having a huge amount to do, and his singing radiated otherworldly authority. Elizabeth Watts was in full, pure voice as the Virgin Mary, deploying a sinuous pianissimo to hair-raising effect, and Allan Clayton as the Narrator, guiding us through the Beatitudes, Christ's walking on water, Mary Magdalene's foot-washing, and Peter as the rock of the church, was on superbly urgent form. The trio of Alice Coote, David Stout and Brindley Sherratt brought the drama centre-stage in strikingly animated portraits. Stout made the most of Peter (a role that goes on to dominate The Kingdom) with his decisive singing and stage presence. Coote, a mezzo rather than the contralto specified by Elgar, is a seasoned Magdalene and brought her customary gravitas to the role of repentant sinner. Her lower range has a spread that doesn't always chime with her light, pliant middle and high voice (which her current Orpheus at ENO alerted me to), but she still brought a faltering anguish to a role that doesn't quite fly.
That did not apply to Brindley Sherratt's Judas, a part that he has made his own. It helps, that, after the episodic nature of Part One, the Second Part is much more of a whole as the work ventures into familiar Passion territory, with the concluding Ascension capping some of Sir Edward's greatest music. Sherratt's performance revealed a man of the world motivated by what he thought was right but wasn't, a sympathetic, misguided, complex man with whom Elgar must have identified to create such a fascinating, flawed character. Sherratt caught every facet of Judas's bitterness and failure in the astonishing 'Our life is short and tedious' passage, where he piled insight upon insight to devastating effect.
He also made me realise that, while Elgar set out to steer The Apostles away from the overt Catholicism of The Dream of Gerontius to be more Church of England-friendly, the second part has a burgeoning mysticism very much in the Roman area, as Mary's desolation at Golgotha – Allan Clayton and Elizabeth Watts were wonderful in this section – dissolves into the Angels' chorus of Alleluias and the radiant vision of the Ascension.
With a measured pace that allowed the orchestral detail to make its mark, Martyn Brabbins forged the ideal circumstances to allow The Apostles to grow and then recede, the essence of visionary achieved through Brabbins's highly perceptive pragmatism, and the LPO's playing, were exemplary. From the precisely imagined quiet accompaniments to the relatively few blockbuster moments, and the otherworldly tuning of the shofar (played from one of the Hall's boxes), the LPO clinched something remarkable.


Did you ever go rockpooling as a kid?
Peering into sea-filled pools in rocks near the beach, lifting stones to see the wonders hiding there: crabs, sea anemones, small fish and, if you were especially lucky, starfish?
I had the absolute pleasure of doing this last month on the north-west Atlantic coast of Ireland.
Chris was doing a photography job with Voya: their amazing Seaweed Baths draw people to Strandhill, County Sligo, from far and wide!
They also do a luxurious range of seaweed cosmetics and that was why we were there; the seaweed is harvested from the surrounding pristine coastline, a naturally organic product that's packed with nutrients.
We went out harvesting with the guys one overcast morning and it was incredibly interesting. Mick showed us what they were harvesting and talked us through the sustainable methods used.
The tide was far out and there were many rock pools, fringed with the glossy fingers of laminaria digitata seaweed.
I don't know how he spotted it but Mick plunged his hand into one a presented us with a fish!
We based ourselves at Strandhill, on the large campsite, the Thundertruck raising a few curious glances from the other campers.
Strandhill is pretty small but it has some great bars and restaurants and it's very popular with surfers who come for the excellent waves at Strandhill beach.
Hunting for WiFi brought us to Mammy Johnston's Ice Cream Parlour, which, I can tell you now, it is exactly what you want an Ice Cream Parlour to be, oh my!
We may have consumed ice cream there on more than one occasion, it was for the WiFi, honest!
A girl's got to get her blog posts up!
Voya's lovely Gretta came with us to the harvesting then took us on a little tour of the area, showing Chris ideal places for photographing.
We then spent the next couple of days exploring these spots a different times of day and weathers.
Quite a lot of time was spent around Mullaghmore with its pretty harbour, beautiful beach and dramatic coastline.
And a little north of Sligo we spent some time at Rosses Point with its interesting stretch of coastline.
There are houses and a pub on Coney Island in the photograph below (not the one with the little lighthouse on it, the bigger one behind that), only reachable by car at low tide.
The 'road' follows a series of stone markers for 5 km across the strand to the island where the deserted beaches are apparently well worth the restrictive travel times.
County Sligo is definitely an area I want to come back to, we were given so many cool tips of what to see and do yet we never got chance to do them.
Gretta told us about walking up Knocknarea, this striking hill looks over Strandhill and there is a neolithic passage tomb on top, this is just my cup of tea!
I didn't even have a seaweed bath due to over indulging on Stout and feeling a touch too queasy for seaweed!
I also would love to visit the Carrowmore Neolithic Cemetery, because, well, as I've said, that's something I'm into!
For our last night in County Sligo, we left the campsite and found a quiet lay-by overlooking the ocean, it was a perfect spot.
The sun set like fire under a heavy blanket of rain clouds and I fell asleep to the sound of the waves lapping the rocks below.
We woke to a bright blue morning; I made banana pancakes then we drove across the country to Dublin.

Boiler manufacturer in hot water as ex-employee is diagnosed with fatal cancer
Diagnosed with mesothelioma
A 73 year old ex-employee of a major UK boiler manufacturer has secured significant compensation after it emerged he contracted an incurable cancer linked to asbestos during his time working at a Worcester factory.
Frederick Penn, from Worcester, was employed by the engineering company for over 25 years, five of which were spent working in an environment thick with asbestos dust without any protection.
The married father-of-two spent a number of years assembling wall-mounted boilers during the 1970s, a role which included handling sheets of asbestos on a regular basis.
He began to display symptoms of poor health in 2012 and was diagnosed with mesothelioma – an incurable cancer which affects the lining of the lungs – in May of that year.
Industrial disease specialists Thompsons Solicitors
Frederick contacted industrial disease specialists Thompsons Solicitors who were successful in settling the case out of court.
Mr Penn said: "I worked for the firm for almost thirty years so when I was diagnosed with mesothelioma I knew that I'd been exposed to the stuff during my career there. When I thought back over my work history I remembered spending five years working with the asbestos boards. I wasn't given any protective equipment and nobody warned me that years later it would affect my health the way it has.
"I worked hard for many years to ensure financial security for my wife and family and to be diagnosed with cancer as a result of my job is a bitter blow. It was very important to me to claim compensation, not for me but for my wife. I had to make sure she would be cared for in the future."
Dave Fisher from Thompsons Solicitors who represented Mr Penn said: "The legacy of asbestos in the Midlands has meant that too many people have been left suffering from asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. We know how important it is for sufferers to claim compensation during their lifetime so they can make provisions for their family, and are pleased we've been able to achieve this outcome for Mr Penn."
Asbestos disease diagnosis? Talk to us for advice and support on how to secure compensation.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, we can support you with advice on how to make a claim.
The process will be explained in plain English and with no obligation – our priority is to provide you with the best, expert advice on whether you have a valid case for compensation, and to signpost you to further sources of support.
There are strict time limits applied to making a claim – usually three years from the date of diagnosis. It doesn't matter if the exposure to asbestos took place – as it often does – decades ago, the three year time limit applies to the date of knowledge of diagnosis or date of death.

Gooooooood mornnnnninggggg from Santa Barbara!!
Yet again... because apparently we're gypsies and can't seem to stay in one place these days. It's been a crazy past few months, but we're finally settling into life here in paradise. Since getting married to Jake, we've moved about six times in four years. It's definitely not a dull life, but I wouldn't mind settling down somewhere soon!
You might be wondering how we ended up in Santa Barbara?
We moved to Scottsdale, Arizona for a new job opportunity for Jake. While we were there, we finally became adults (in a sense). We endured trial after trial and after two years, we decided to break up with Arizona somewhat abruptly. It just wasn't for us and as you may have read in this post, if you don't like something, change it.
So we packed up everything in our 750 square foot apartment in Scottsdale, and moved to California without a single clue as to what we were going to do next. As someone who enjoys making lists and checking them twice, I was surprisingly calm about everything and we started the job hunt. Fast forward two months later, we still don't have jobs.
Commence the official freak out period. You guys, it's seriously like as soon as you think you can't go lower, GOD FINDS A WAY TO PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE. We questioned everything. I won't go into much detail because it's far too depressing and personal, but life is full of ebbs and flows and often times we just have to roll with the changes.
Then opportunity knocked on our door. Jake received a job offer very quickly from a company in Santa Barbara. We initially moved to California to be close to my family, but Santa Barbara is about two hours away from where my parents live. We hadn't considered moving so far away but when we visited Santa Barbara for Jake's interview, we fell in love fast and hard. The day after we got back from Santa Barbara after interviewing (Jake had already received a job offer), everything happened with my dad. We weren't sure if moving away would be the right choice, but our parents urged us not to pass up this opportunity. Plus, it's an easy drive when we go visit on the weekends. Within two weeks, we moved into our new little bungalow where we've been living for about a month now! Everyday I find myself thinking how I can't believe I get to live in such a stunning city. I've realized that we have to experience the lowest of lows to recognize the beauty in our everyday lives. So dang grateful to have made it through with this guy by my side. I'll never understand what I did to deserve such a thoroughly good, hard-working, handsome man who makes me laugh every single freaking day.
I love Santa Barbara and you two are darling!!!
You two are the cutest!!! Congrats on the move!!
hehe thanks girl! we're excited for this new chapter!

The Asia Pacific Fuel Industry Forum is the definitive event for businesses that participate in the fuel retail and fuel wholesale markets in the Australasian Region. This year's event is being held at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland, 4 and 6 September 2018.
Designed by the fuel industry, for the fuel industry, the APFIF provides an annual opportunity for industry participants and other stakeholders to discuss issues that are both internal and external to the fuel industry – as considered from the perspective of industry, consumers and policy makers.
As fuel retailers grapple with an increasingly uncertain outlook that is being shaped by more fuel-efficient vehicle technologies and changing consumer behaviours, questions are rightly being asked about how fuel retailers might transform their business to remain future relevant.
Most retailers in our Region are betting on substantial commercial benefits being realised by a greater investment in the provision of convenience products and services, and have begun transforming their business from a fuel outlet selling 'chips, chocolates and drinks to one that offers a broad range of food items and convenience services that are matched to the needs of their local market.
"While this strategy is on trend with similar developments in Europe and North America, the practical realisation of this potential in the less population dense markets of New Zealand and Australia will likely prove challenging", said Mark.
Accordingly, the 2018 event seeks to expose delegates to a broad a range views from experts in the areas of community trends, retail consumer behaviours, and the likely impact of changing vehicle technologies on future fuel demand.
These sessions, together with regular annual updates on the changing face of industry regulation and societal expectations about fuel price transparency, points to a highly informative conference that will be wide reaching and thought provoking.
This year's conference programme includes two break-out sessions that will run in parallel with the main conference plenary.
This includes a series of presentations about how our industry can develop formal skills qualifications for petroleum contractors. This half-day session has been designed to address this longstanding debate and will seek to develop a blueprint for the development of skill sets that are formally recognised under the umbrella of Australian Training Standards.
This session brings together a series of speakers to discuss the current state of the AutoGas market in Australia and incorporates an open forum discussion about the challenges of maintaining infrastructure in the face of declining market demand.
In addition to the conference program, the trade hall exhibition provides the opportunities for fuel retailers to connect with major industry suppliers and service providers from Australia and New Zealand.
But the 2018 APFIF is not all thought-provoking discussion and hard work. The forum also incorporates two elements that are designed to provide a break from intensive conference discussions in some of Auckland's best venues.
Supported by United Convenience Buyers and Coca Cola Amatil, this event will be held at the beautiful Maungakiekie Golf Course on Tuesday 4 September and brings together all sides of the petroleum industry.
This year, the annual industry favourite and important networking dinner will be held in the surrounds of the stunning aviation display hall of the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT). Quality New Zealand wines, combined with a delicious menu and engaging entertainment, the dinner is the social highlight of the forum.
All delegate passes include a seat at the dinner and an opportunity to participate in the ACAPMA Classic Golf Day. Space is still available, so book now to reserve your space now.

Cameel Halim pauses at precisely 11 a.m. Clocks bong and chime around him as objects spin and figurines dance in ornate syncopation. The cacophony raises the decibel level in the ground-floor salons of Halim's mansion, drowning out his voice. For the moment, there is no point in speaking.
When the bells fall silent, Halim resumes, talking excitedly about the 600 or so antique timepieces he has collected for more than a decade. He plans to display them in an old Victorian house in Evanston, Ill., that he is converting into a museum. The pieces include an 18th century tall case clock once owned by a Japanese ruler, an early 17th century elephant clock from Augsburg, Germany, and a French Breguet pocket watch built for a blind man.
"Clocks have a magnificent history in civilization," Halim, 63, said amid the relatively quiet ticktock of the more than two dozen clocks and watches displayed in his home's main salon. "Today we look in our cellphones and know the time, but if you look at what the world went through to find the time, it's an amazing story."
Halim's collection tells part of that story through the gem-studded clocks and chiseled watches that were once on exhibition in Rockford, Ill., at Seth Atwood's Time Museum, which closed in 1999. Halim, an engineer who made his fortune in real estate, paid about $5 million to buy about 200 of the timepieces, including most of the European clocks from his favorite era in the science of timekeeping, called horology: 1500 to 1800, an epoch that began with the first attempts to mechanize timekeeping and ended with the Industrial Revolution.
Halim also bought Atwood's collection of American pocket watches and his 2,700-volume horology library. Those artifacts, plus 70 Tiffany and other stained-glass windows that Halim collected separately over the years, also will be on exhibition in the Evanston museum.
The vast purchase means Evanston -- which gave Halim the OK to move forward with his museum project -- will get a slice of a stunning collection that Chicago tried to get for years. Shortly after the Time Museum closed, Mayor Richard M. Daley, an avowed timepiece enthusiast, offered Atwood $25 million for his entire 1,551-piece collection, then appraised at $33 million. But the city failed to raise more than $5.6 million, including a paltry $761,000 from private donors. In the end, the city bought just 492 pieces in the collection and gave up its quest for the remainder.
Those timepieces and dozens more were sold to the highest bidders at Sotheby's on three different occasions from 1999 to 2004. Buyers from London, New York, Switzerland and elsewhere flocked to the New York auction house to bid on clocks once owned by kings and princes, emperors and American entrepreneurs. In all, 953 timepieces sold for nearly $58 million, a Sotheby's spokeswoman said.
Halim's sliver of the collection includes some rare pieces: the elephant clock, which displays a man tied to a tree who is circled by a lion and leopard every 60 minutes to signal the "death of the hour"; a precision long case clock that kept time at Princeton College observatory from 1817 to 1867; and the 18th century case clock owned by the 10th Japanese shogun, who ruled from 1760 to 1786.
"The clock must be wound every four to five hours," Halim said of the Japanese timepiece. The shogun "had a full-time clock-winder."
Halim plans to display the Atwood pieces -- plus most of the 400 clocks and watches he had already collected -- in the museum. He plans to sink an additional $4 million into an elaborate renovation of the Evanston house, including constructing a three-story building in the backyard to house the Tiffany windows, mosaics and artifacts such as inkwells.
Among the pieces Halim already owned that will be on display is an English skeleton clock encased in a glass dome that was broken when the Germans bombed London during World War II. The force of an air raid shattered the clock's glass case, which Halim painstakingly glued back together. There is also an English table clock that keeps time as a marble rolls along a zigzagging track every 30 seconds.
"Our museum will be world-class," Halim said. "People will come from all over the world to see our collection."
Evanston officials are betting the museum will attract thousands of visitors when it opens in summer 2008. Thousands trekked annually to the Time Museum in Rockford, many from abroad.
"This is really a unique type of museum to have," Alderman Melissa Wynne said. "It'll bring people to Evanston."
Halim, too, hopes thousands will patronize the museum, which will operate as a corporation rather than a nonprofit and will not rely on public money. But making money is not his motivation, Halim said. He wants people to enjoy a discipline that has fascinated him since he was a child in Egypt.
As a boy, he once smashed open a clock to see what made it tick, he said. Later, he found himself drawn to the art and evolution of clock making.
"I was always fascinated by history and art," Halim said. He found that timepieces merged those passions with his chosen area of study, engineering. "Clocks combine art, history and mechanics," he said.
He bought his first timepiece -- a tall case English music clock -- in New Orleans as a "consolation prize," he said, after the wedding of his eldest daughter about 10 years ago. Since then, he has patronized timepiece auctions in New York, Hong Kong and even Iowa, where he discovered and bought five large Atwood clocks not included in the Sotheby's auction.
He's not worried he'll pine for the clocks that fill his salons when they are moved to the museum; he plans to keep adding to his collection. He's too used to the sound of bells, chimes and music, even at night, to empty his mansion of timepieces.
Especially the peal of sounds on the hour. As the cacophony began again at noon, he plugged his ears and smiled. "Just remember to do like this," he said, "or you'll lose your hearing."

Q: Using pipes: read in child and write in parent or vice versa In this simple program, the child process is reading from the pipe and the parent process writes to it.
int main()
{
    int fd[2];
    pipe(fd);

    pid_t pid = fork();
    switch (pid)
    {
        case 0:
        {
            close(fd[1]);
            char buf[16];
            ssize_t ret = read(fd[0], buf, sizeof buf);

            printf("[%d] read() returned %ld bytes: '%s'\n", getpid(), ret, buf);
            close(fd[0]);
        }
        break;

        default:
        {
            close(fd[0]);
            ssize_t ret = write(fd[1], "text", 5);

            printf("[%d] write() returned %ld bytes\n", getpid(), ret);
            close(fd[1]);
            while(wait(NULL) > 0);
            break;
        }
    }
}

Everything works as expected and the output looks something like this:
[1738] write() returned 5 bytes
[1739] read() returned 5 bytes: 'text'

Now, the problem starts when I reverse the roles here -- let the parent read from the pipe and let the child write to it:
int main()
{
    int fd[2];
    pipe(fd);

    pid_t pid = fork();
    switch(pid)
    {
        case 0:
        {
            close(fd[0]);
            ssize_t ret = write(fd[1], "text", 5);
            printf("[%d] write() returned %ld bytes\n", getpid(), ret);
            close(fd[1]);
        }
        break;
        default:
        {
            close(fd[1]);
            char buf[16];
            ssize_t ret = read(fd[0], buf, sizeof buf);

            printf("[%d] read() returned %ld bytes: '%s'\n", getpid(), ret, buf);

            close(fd[0]);
            while (wait(NULL))
                ;
        }
        break;
    }

}

and the output is
[1752] read() returned 5 bytes: 'text'
[1753] write() returned 5 bytes
^C

This looks fine except I have to send a SIGINT to terminate the process (I guess the parent one). Why do I get this behavior?

A: wait() returns -1 in the event of an error, including when the calling process has no (more) child processes to wait for.  It returns the PID of the child that was collected on success.  Valid PIDs are all greater than 0, so wait() never returns 0.  As a result, your ...
            while(wait(NULL))
                ;

... never terminates.
The ...
            while(wait(NULL) > 0);

... of the first code makes more sense, though it's a bit obscure.  It makes one more call to wait() than is needed.  Since you know how many children to wait for (one), it would be clearer to get the status code that wait() can provide, and interrogate it to determine whether to wait() again.
