Share your popcorn with your Kitty and she will tell you more about Catnip for humans!
Cat-gardeners are those who talk more than plant cuttings or weed and if you expect them to dig out slugs and snails, think again! But we can share some secrets about catnip so dear to us, with humans.
Did you know that catnip has been reported to work well in treatment of iron-deficiency anemia, menstrual and uterine disorders and dyspepsia in humans? They also use it as a gentle calming medicine.
According to Weiner's Herbal it has been given to patients in the form of an infusion, injection, and even as a bath medicine! Humans have drunk it to treat chronic cough, and chewed it to heal toothache!
Even better, it has been used to heal colic in babies! This is how it is used by herbal doctors: about half ounce of catnip leaves to one pint of water. Water boiled separately and poured over the plant material and steeped 5-10 minutes. Drunk hot or warm. One to two cups per day, at bedtime and upon awakening.
We gobble up the powdered leaves quickly before the other one grabs our share! Then there are a few cats who walk away from it as if it is a vegetable that someone is trying to make them have!
Catnip bores me! What's all the fuss about that?!!!
This herbal also gives us this lesser known old remedy of using rose buds and petals (which are a rich source of vitamin C) as a tonic. How to use: take half an ounce of buds and petals to one pint of water.
Boil water separately and pour over the plant material and steep for around 20 minutes. Drunk hot or warm.One to 2 cups or more per day, at bedtime and upon awakening.
The papaya is a delicious fruit for humans and grows almost on its own in any garden. Its leaves were used medicinally as a dressing for wounds by the American Indians. They also wrapped meat in them to make the flesh more tender. Eat up one ripe papaya to deal with constipation! Everyone knows that right?
Here is a mysterious treat for your cat using catnip!
And add the anchovy paste. Stir to mix thoroughly. Put the popcorn in a large bowl and toss it with the butter mixture. Your hands are the best tool for this job. Sprinkle the cheese and brewer's yeast over the popcorn and toss. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Serve at room temperature.

Sorry it's been a while : everything's starting to kick in now with school about to start and all my birthday celebrations about to occur so I've been very busy I promise I'm not neglecting this blog!
First off, the packaging was gorgeous and when I opened the delivery box I found it was full of confetti and this sleek white box showing the logo with a lovely purple ribbon tied in a bow holding the box together!
I had seen this company before as many love islanders had been promoting their products on social media so I feel very privileged to have been sent these products!
Also inside the box was a leaflet which showed all of the companies products one of which was their signature chocolate Oreos which I very luckily received.
The Oreos came in a box of 6 all with different designs and coloured chocolate on. My favourite was the white unicorn Oreo as it was so creative and a lot of fun to look at which made the product even more appealing!
Some of the Oreos were different flavours too: strawberry, mint and the usual which made it really interesting as to what flavour you would get but the colour of the Oreo usually gave you a hint.
Personally I loved the taste of these as much as I adored the presentation however due to the chocolate coating the whole Oreo one of these at a time was enough as they were quite sweet and would be quite sickly if you had too many!
This is also one of my favourites sprays and is very topical for this time of the year! You can get this from Superdrug for around £6 I believe and it comes in a 100ml bottle. I love the packaging as it is so cute and pink (my favourite colour!) If you haven't heard of the brand bubble t before I would seriously recommend checking them out as they sell some seriously cool bathing products for great prices.
This was a spin off spray after soap and glory received great feedback from their original body spray 'mist you madly' but this time they decided to use the scent from one of their signature ranges 'sugar crush'. This one of my favourite scents of theirs and is described as a 'fruity lime twist ' and is packed with lemon oil, vanilla musk, lime, ginger and brown sugar. For £4 this is the cheapest spray I will show you and is great for the price you pay. The packaging is also really cute (pink again! Whoops can you see a recurring colour pattern 😏).
This is the original soap and glory spray that will always hold a special place in my heart. This is a floral and fruity fragrance which seems perfectly suiting for summer time and in my opinion wakes me up and leaves me ready and raring for the day ahead. Again at £4 it is at a very reasonable price and pink again😉!
Those are my favourite summer sprays! What are yours?
Today's post will consist of me nattering on about one of my favourite skin care brands: Mario Badescu. Warning- I love them!!
Yes I only have 3 products from their brand but I used to have another one however it ran out and I'm not made of money :(.
The facial spray with aloe,cucumber and green tea.
And surprise surprise they're all sensational!!!
I have 2 of the facial sprays however I believe they have a third scent too. My favourite is the pink however both smell great (very relaxing ) and are full of natural ingredients which are amazing for the skin. I use these just to give my skin a boost of minerals and glow or to set my makeup in place depending on the situation and they always leave me feeling smooth and fresh.
This is my favourite of the Mario Badescu products I have as you basically apply it on any blemishes or under the skin spots (a bit of the liquid and a bit of the pink powder) and leave it for several hours to sink into the skin. After a few days of applying this , you should see the spots start to go down and eventually disappear and for me this has worked wonders. I hardly have any bad blemishes due to this and if I do they are gone in the next day or two.
Overall I love this brand to pieces and will definitely be purchasing a few more of their products in the near future.
You can buy any of these products either from urban outfitters or beauty bay in the U.K.!
This bronzer is actually talked about quite a lot but I can see why as it's amazing! Being a more expensive bronzer at around £26, it can be costly but it is easily blend able and buildable too. It only comes in one shade which isn't too dark as my pale face can use it however if you are looking for a lighter option, benefit also do the 'hoola lite' bronzer too!
Compared to the hoola bronzer, I would say this is a more natural and lighter shade of bronzer. It blends really nicely once applied leaving no harsh lines and is great for pale skinned people like me! Also kiko being a drugstore sort of brand this product is fairly cheap too and it is super portable to take with you due to its size!
Yes I know this is technically meant to be a foundation but I bought a shade too dark for me and being a powder substance I thought it would only be suitable to make use of it as a bronzer instead and it actually works surprisingly well! This is particularly good for after I've been on holiday as it is a better colour for my skin but it blends like a dream despite being in the pricier range.
This is actually a duo by collection with a bronzer and a highlighter in and I love both parts so much! The bronzer is the perfect shade to compliment and sculpt my face and works surprisingly well despite the cheap price of £4. If you're looking for a bronzer on a budget I would definitely recommend this as you get a highlighter too!!
And those are some of my favourites bronzers! If you have any you would like to share with me leave a comment below as I'm always looking for new products to add to my collection.
Today I have the highly requested summer morning routine post for you all: I hope you enjoy!
When I wake up I will stay I bed for an hour or so just checking on all my social media handles on my phone and reading my book which is currently letters to the lost and I am loving!
After that I will get out of bed, go downstairs and make myself breakfast which is normally toast unless my dad treats me and makes a bacon sandwich (yum!). Brushing my teeth is next and then I will look at my planner and check my schedule and goals for the day.
Being a good child, I then make my bed which has an awful lot of teddies on it and get changed and do my makeup (if I feel like doing my makeup that is).
However if I don't use makeup I will go downstairs to the bathroom and use a facial wash instead. At the moment I am loving the boots essentials face wash.
Next I do some blog work which could involve commenting on other bloggers posts or writing and scheduling my own posts for the future!
Then at about 11ish if I am doing anything I will get ready to go out for the day.
Very simple I know but that is my morning routine of summer 2018 (it probably won't change much😂).
What do you do in the mornings? Let me know below.
My go to summer lippies!
Since summer is still very much upon us and we want to make the most out of the sun and its rays, I thought i would share with you all my favourite lip products for the summer months! I find they are all so cheerful and bright enough to add a little sparkle to your day.
This lipstick was my first ever mac lipstick nearly 3 years ago and i still adore this shade! A cremesheen finish, this light peachy pink has a gloss like finish making the lips look really fresh and moisturised and the lasting power is amazing. It sits on the lips really nicely and doesn't feel heavy at all! This shade is also really buildable so it can be really subtle or dramatic depending on what you want.
I love this vibrant red based pink shade from makeup revolutions i heart makeup range. This feels really comfortable on and is a bit of a brighter shade compared to the mac lipstick which is perfect for things such as festivals and days out with friends. This lipstick is so pigmented and glides onto the lips easily. If you want a cheaper summer lipstick, this is definitely a good one to purchase as it is currently £1 on the makeup revolution website.
This has a different formula to any other lip product i've tried! Its exremely smooth and moisturising and almost acts as a lip balm but with a colour to it! The shade of this lip butter is similar to that of the mac lipstick in the sense of being a light pink shade however it is more vibrant and would definitely make your makeup 'pop'!
This is the first gloss that i have mentioned and may not be one for everyone due to the tingling sensation that takes place on the lips once when applied however I quite liked this. The colour is very natural and isn't too buildable but is perfect for everyday use as it is not too dramatic. It's a gorgeous peachy pink with silver and gold shimmers and looks gorgeous in the daylight.
I'm afraid this lipgloss doesn't have a shade name to it but it's a beautiful coral pink shade which looks really thick in the packaging but comes out really opaque on the lips. On the lips it feels prehaps a bit too sticky but nothing a bit of blotting can't fix. Silver shimmers run throughout which really adds to the product and this gloss lasts for ages. In addition, being from missguided the packaging of this gloss is really aesthetic and gorgeous!
p.s. Sorry about my stubby little nails now I've taken my acrylics off. I'm trying to grow them i promise!
I hope you all found this useful and I would love to hear your reccomendations of good summer lip products.
Today's post will be a short but sweet tutorial on the smoothies I made when I slept over my friends house recently. They were so delicious and easy to make and smoothies are an excellent way of eating healthy without even thinking about it too much!
To start wash the fruit and chop the bananas and strawberries up a bit. Then chuck all the fruit into your blender.
Afterwards add as much orange juice as sufficient and finish by including some Greek yogurt before firmly securing the lid and blending until ready!

A Dove, A Lion, A Coast, A Pirate
Luke Howard Trio
Cibi - Luke Howard Trio
Luke Howard – piano
Jonathan Zion – double bass
Daniel Farrugia – drums
Recorded at Oslo's Rainbow Studio with legendary engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug, A Dove, A Lion, A Coast, A Pirate features works by both leader/pianist Luke Howard and bassist Jonathan Zion (Anton Delecca Quartet, Lior, Ian Moss). Joined by drummer Daniel Farrugia (Tin Pan Orange, Julia Stone, Magnolia), the trio's minimalist aesthetic blends elements of improvised and popular music.
"The new disc is very reflective and introspective," says Luke, "and the particular sound created in this studio and engineer suits our music perfectly. The ambience of the piano is particularly beautiful and sparse".
This recording has the unique qualities of clarity, warmth and refinement particular to so many of the classic European jazz releases on the ECM label of the past 40 years, many of which were recorded at Rainbow Studio. These are the same qualities heard on Howard's award-winning release Open Road (the track Spir won 'Australian Jazz Song of the Year' at the 2012 Bell Awards).
"The tunes were inspired by world events, infatuation and quiet places," says Luke, "but they quickly take on a life and character of their own, beyond their starting point".
Luke and Jonathan's compositions have the intangible quality of sounding immediately familiar. Their reflective and introspective nature belies a deeper harmonic structure.

A brief history of the Church of St. Nicholas
In Domesday Book it is recorded that "Ronmore" (as Ringmore was then known) was one of the Devon Manors. Another was Haccombe some four miles west of Ronmore . In 1233 Stephen de Haccombe, the Lord of the Manor of Haccombe, returned from a Crusade and as a thanksgiving offering built a Chapel close to his Manor house. This was intended to be a Chantry Chapel in which prayers might be said for Stephen and his family and all necessary ecclesiastical functions performed. He installed a Priest at his own expense, but did not consult the Bishop.
Later, about 1280 according to reliable evidence, Stephen and his successors built two more Chapels, St. Michael at Combehall near Drewsteignton, and St. Nicholas at "Ronmore".Only small fragments of a ruin now exist at St. Michael's. Church architects are agreed St. Nicholas is of 13th Century origin. The whole of the east end, with its lancet windows, is accepted as such, and this is further borne out in a proclamation by Sir John Lerchedeckne (the third successor of Stephen) in 1384. In 1445 John Carnell, Archpriest, of Haccombe, died and left in his will "a light to be placed before the image of St. Nicholas in Ringmore".
The Register of Baptisms recorded at St. Nicholas starts in 1616 but a note states that prior to 1621 baptisms had been performed at Haccombe. It may be assumed that marriage and burial ceremonies were also performed at Haccombe before 1621. About this time the Carews, now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out extensive repairs to the fabric of St. Nicholas. Fortunately the stone, size and architectural features were retained. Until this time clergy from Haccombe and other Churches officiated at St. Nicholas but in 1621 the Baptism Register is signed by Elezeus Coke, "First Professor of Christ's Gospel in this Church…".
Burial Registers were started at St. Nicholas in 1622 and in 1628 Marriage Registers were started. In 1671 Lord Clifford bought several estates in this area, including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel's second Visitation in 1768 states there was serious deterioration in the administration at St. Nicholas.
His report seems to have achieved results as, by 1790, a very big extension had been added. This involved removing a large portion of the north wall and building out some 32 feet towards the river. A gallery was built on the south wall, partly for the choir which entered it by an external staircase. Another gallery was built on the west wall for the congregation with access by a covered stairway. An organ was mentioned in 1827 but this was replaced by a "seraphine" in 1847 (precursor of the Harmonium). In 1839 a gallery was added to the north wall for the Sunday School. A new roof with a domed skylight and a square wooden bell tower was built in 1841.
The original font had been disposed of and replaced by the present Saxon or early Norman one. About this time it was decided to create a more normal design of Parish Church. The original part was to be used as a kind of south aisle, but stripped of galleries, altar, pulpit, etc. Plans were submitted by the Vicar, the Reverend William Henry Wrenford, but he died before the work could be started.
The next Vicar, the Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn, cancelled these plans, having decided to build a new Church nearer to the greater population of Shaldon. This was consecrated and dedicated to St. Peter in 1902 and became the new Parish Church of St. Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St. Nicholas Church was renovated at the expense of a generous benefactor and was officially designated as a Chapel of Ease. This is the present state.

During the development of the new Square One website I wanted to replicate the way Dribbble lets you paginate through shots. If you checkout a user on Dribbble there are two shots or thumbnails listed on the right hand side that will paginate the previous or next shot uploaded by the user. So I started to think about how I would go about this in WordPress, obviously over thinking how to create a function to get the next and previous page. As per usual the best place to start looking how to go about things in WordPress is the WordPress bible, Codex!
So before long I found there is already a core function that does this, say hello to get_previous_post and get_next_post. As its says in the Codex "Retrieve previous post that is adjacent to current post" Sweet, this is just what I needed! There are a couple of parameters but I won't go into those for now, if you want to find out more go checkout the codex yourself.
All being well you should now have something that you can use as I have done in our own portfolio. If you get any issues or questions please do leave a comment below.
This is exactly what I need to get started on paginating a gallery – cheers Square one!

Women progress in FA Cup
Wolves Women continued their fine start to the season as they progressed into the next round of the SSE Women's FA Cup after a 6-0 win over Kingfisher FC.
Wolves Women 6 (Haynes 14, Walker 26, 29, Criddle 37, Wilkie 68, Morphet 83)
Kingfisher FC 0
Report by Elliott Jackson, photograph by Simon Faulkner
First-half goals from Billie Haynes, Charlotte Criddle and a brace from Lowri Walker put Wolves in complete control at half-time. They then added to that lead in the second 45, with substitute Charlotte Wilkie and Anna Morphet sealing the rout.
After a confident start to the game, Wolves took the lead with 14 minutes on the clock. Haynes raced through on goal after a lovely through ball by Criddle and fired Wolves ahead.
It didn't take for Wolves long to extend their advantage. After a short goal-kick, the hosts won the ball high, allowing Walker to fire into the top corner from the edge of the area.
Moments later it was three. Walker doubled her tally, sweeping the ball home to give Wolves a three-goal lead after just 30 minutes.
It was soon four, with Criddle getting in on the act as she headed home Morphet's corner eight minutes before the interval.
The second half brought more Wolves pressure, but they had to wait until the 68th minute to add to their lead. Substitute Wilkie fired the ball home from close range after it ricocheted in the area, to grab her second goal in as many games.
With six minutes remaining Wolves scored their sixth and final goal as Morphet's cross found its way into the net after neat play from a short corner.
That proved to be the final action of the match, with Wolves claiming a deserved win to move safely into the next round of the competition.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
With Kingfisher defending in numbers, the first goal was always going to prove crucial in getting Wolves on their way. It took a fine piece of skill and vision from Criddle to open up the Kingfisher backline, with Haynes providing the telling finish
Wolves manager Dan McNamara was delighted with his side's showing. Speaking after the game, he said: "A clean sheet and into the next round of the FA Cup – that was one of the massive positives to take from today.
"As a player, I always loved to play in the FA Cup and as a manager, it's no different, it's a special competition."
Wolves return to league action with back to back home games. They face Nettleham Town at 2pm on Sunday 30th September, and The New Saints at 7.45pm on Wednesday 26th. Both games will be played at Bilston Town FC. Admission is £2; concessions and Wolves season ticket holders £1.
30/9 – Nettleham Town (H)
3/10 – The New Saints (H)
4/11 – Bedworth (A)
18/11 – Long Eaton (H)
16/12 – West Bromwich Albion Women (A)
Wolves | Clarke, Widdal (C), Mumford, Morphet, Jones (Wilkie 64), Dickinson, Barnett (Cross 74), Haynes, Walker (George 61), Criddle, Jennings.
Kingfisher FC | Bott, Pearson, Ankcorn, Smith, Dovey, Edwards, Higgins, Fidelak, (Barnett 67), Lingham, Christopher, Russell.

Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle was a French army officer and statesman who led Free France against Nazi Germany in World War II and chaired the Provisional Government of the French Republic from 1944 to 1946 in order to restore democracy in France. In 1958, he came out of retirement when appointed President of the Council of Ministers by President René Coty. He rewrote the Constitution of France and founded the Fifth Republic after approval by referendum. He was elected President of France later that year, a position to which he was reelected in 1965 and held until his resignation in 1969.

The St. Hippolit de Polini (France) College Church was built in the 15th century, largely thanks to donations from the town's bourgeoisie, Jean Josate, a member of the Grand Council of Burgundy, and enriched by Jean Schevroth, Bishop of Tournay and president of Philippe Le Bang Council. In less than half a century, it has been built so quickly that it has extraordinary architectural unity.

Family Movies Continue Popularity in 2017

Last edited on: January 12, 2017.
The new year is almost two weeks old already! Redemptive and family movies continue to dominate at the box office for this week in 2017. SCH Editor At Large Dr. Diane Howard reports her weekly top picks.
During the second week of January 2017, Hidden Figures remains at the top of the box office. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is second at the box office. Sing is number four. Moana and Sully remain in theaters at the top of the box office. Fandango reports that Deepwater Horizon and Queen of Katwe are still in theaters.
Hidden Figures is based on a wonderful, true story about an amazing team of African-American women during the American Civil Rights Movement and Space Race of the 1960's. It is primarily about these brilliant women who provide NASA with important mathematical data needed to launch the program's first successful space mission.
As the United States races against Russia to put a man in space, NASA finds incredible talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians who serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Hidden Figures is based on the incredible true life stories of three of these women, known as "human computers."
These women–as they wisely, boldly, and quickly rise in the ranks of NASA, alongside many of history's greatest minds–are specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit and guaranteeing his safe return.
Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer), Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), and Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) cross all gender, race, and professional boundaries, as their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly places them in U.S. history as true American heroes.

Hidden Figures has many outstanding elements: amazing true story set in fascinating and sad history; good acting; effective use of humor and romance; character role models (of perseverance, humility, determination, and faith); inspiring Christian church, family, and community support, and more.
The three female leads are engaging, captivating, and delightful in their performances. Hidden Figures features Kevin Costner as Al Harrison, Kirsten Dunst as Vivian Mitchell, and other notable actors.
Hidden Figures, which is PG rated, is most appropriate for teens through adults due to its subject matter. Unfortunately, the hard-core administrator, Al Harrison, has one line early in the movie in which he takes our Lord's name in vain. There are also honest, historic depictions of harsh treatment to African-Americans.
However, the movie focuses on the gracious, strong, and overcoming spirits of the women at NASA and those who support them. This movie is inspirational, redemptive, and hopeful.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (PG-13) has no immoral language or behavior, and is most appropriate for teens and adults due to battle violence, monsters, and evil villains, as well as some New Age elements. It has worthwhile themes: repentance, redemption, sacrificial love, hope, doing what is right, and finding a greater purpose. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a prequel that precedes the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope when rebels stole plans for the Death Star from the Imperial Empire.
Sing (PG, all ages), an animated musical comedy, is about a Koala Bear named Buster Moons who puts on a singing competition at his failing theater. Sing is appropriate for all ages. It has positive themes that include the value of hard work, perseverance, using one's passions and gifts, positive family relationships, and overcoming fear. (It has a few light crass elements.)

Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana continues at the top of the box office this week. It is an amazing animated, action-packed movie with realistically fast-moving water in an ocean adventure story. Most importantly, Moana is also about love for and commitment to family, friends, and community. A significant theme is about social responsibility. Moana is a good role model for young people.
The sweeping CG-animated fantasy adventure based on Polynesian folklore and legends, follows the heroic journey of a Polynesian teenage girl to save Polynesian life and culture from annihilation.
Drawn to the ocean (which guides and protects her as an anthropomorphic character), Moana (voiced by Auli'i Cravalho) convinces the comedic demigod (half god, half human) Maui (voiced by Dwayne Johnson-Fast and Furious 6, San Andreas) to join her with her comedic sidekick on her mission.
Reluctantly Maui helps Moana on her quest to be a master wayfinder as they voyage across the open ocean encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds to save the Polynesian Islands.
This is a delightful, entertaining movie for older children through adults. Read the interview with key animator, Mark Henn, on Sonoma Christian Home about the latest in the meticulous animation process Disney uses for this movie.
Sully (PG-13, teens through adults), is about the "Miracle on the Hudson" in which Captain Sullenberger saved the lives of all on his flight by landing in the Hudson River. Tom Hanks performs skillfully the everyman heroic captain, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. Sonoma Christian Home presents another exclusive interview with the screenwriter for Sully in which he tells about relying on prayer to write the winning screenplay. This is another movie about sacrificial love and service for others.

Disney presents Queen of Katwe. It has received many good reviews. It follows a Ugandan slum girl's rise from a hopeless future to that of an international chess player. David Oyelowo (Selma) plays Robert Katende, a missionary and refugee of Uganda's civil war who as a chess teacher sees potential in 9-year-old Phiona Mutesi. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave) plays her mother. It is about love for family and young people. This movie is rated PG and is appropriate for older children through adults.
Sonoma Christian Home provides an interview with a real Christian survivor of Deepwater Horizon who is depicted as a key character in the movie. This gripping film is about the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded during April 2010 and created the worst oil spill in U.S. history. This redemptive movie focuses on the real-life heroes and heroines in this disaster and includes prayer and divine provisions in the midst of danger. It is about sacrificial love and service for colleagues. This movie is rated PG-13 and is appropriate for teens through adults.
Many good movies for various ages continue in movie theaters for the second week of January. The top pick redemptive movies for teens through adults are Hidden Figures and Deepwater Horizon. The top pick redemptive movie for older children through adults is Queen of Katwe. The top pick family movie for teens through adults is A Star Wars Story: Rogue One. The top pick movies for children through adults are Sing and Moana.
Checking out movies before seeing them remains important. There are many good movies but some that may seem family-friendly on first inspection, are not upon closer inspection. Choose carefully and have a wonderful New Year full of everlasting hope.

De Missa in tempore belli (Hob. XXII:9) in C (Mis in tijd van oorlog), bekend als Paukenmesse, Paukenmis of Kriegsmesse, is een mis gecomponeerd door Joseph Haydn voor de priesterwijding van Joseph Franz von Hofmann in de Piaristenkirche Maria Treu te Wenen.

Haydn schreef in totaal 14 missen (zie Missen van Joseph Haydn); de Paukenmis is de negende mis die hij componeerde en behoort tot de zes zogenaamd grote symfonische missen die Haydn aan het eind van zijn carrière componeerde en die algemeen als een samenhangende collectie worden beschouwd. De zes symfonische missen zijn gecomponeerd of – zoals in het geval van de Paukenmis – later gebruikt voor de vieringen rond de naamdag van de echtgenote van Nicolaas II, prinses Maria Josepha Hermengilde Esterházy.

Datering en bijnaam

Eind 1796, een jaar voor het eind van de Eerste Coalitieoorlog, het militair treffen tussen de coalitie van staten waar Oostenrijk deel van uitmaakte en Frankrijk, behaalde Napoleon Bonaparte overwinningen op de Oostenrijkers die hij uiteindelijk in november versloeg in de Slag bij de brug van Arcole bij Verona. In het westen vocht Oostenrijk met Frankrijk om de controle over Zuid-Duitsland. In deze bedreigende oorlogssfeer en tegen deze achtergrond ontstond de Paukenmis. Voor het eerst sinds 1683, toen een zeer groot Ottomaanse Rijk leger Wenen twee maanden belegerde maar uiteindelijk werd verslagen, was er sprake van reëel gevaar van een invasie van het kerngebied van het Oostenrijkse rijk. De verdrijving van de Turken was voor de Oostenrijkers een belangrijke gebeurtenis die jaarlijks tijdens de Heilige Naam van Maria op 12 september werd herdacht. Met processies en speciale missen werd de overwinning levend gehouden en met kerkmuziek, met name missen en toonzettingen van het Te Deum met ongebruikelijk prominente partijen voor trompetten en pauken die de dreiging van en de overwinning in de oorlog moesten oproepen. Haydns Paukenmis, maar ook zijn Nelsonmis, zijn voorbeelden van deze menging van strijdlustige en religieus triomfantelijke sentimenten
.

De Paukenmis werd op 26 december 1796 onder leiding van de componist voor het eerst uitgevoerd in de Piaristenkirche Maria Treu in Wenen als onderdeel van de plechte wijding van Joseph Franz von Hofmann, hoogstwaarschijnlijk op bestelling van diens vader, de keizerlijke en koninklijke algemene betaalmeester. Op vrijdag 29 september 1797 leidde Haydn in Eisenstadt opnieuw een uitvoering als onderdeel van de activiteiten – met kerkdiensten, concerten, toneelstukken en banketten – rond de naamdag van prinses Maria Josepha Hermengilde; voor de feitelijke naamdag – 10 september – was een nieuwe mis van Johann Fuchs uitgevoerd.

De bijnaam Paukenmis komt van de paukensolo in het Agnus Dei. De diplomaat Georg August Griesinger, bevriend met Haydn, schreef over de mis: "1796, als die Franzosen in der Steyermark standen, setzte Haydn eine Messe, welcher er den Titel 'in tempore belli' gab. In dieser Messe sind die Worte 'Agnus Dei', qui tollis peccata mundi' auf eigene Art mit Begleitung von Pauken vorgetragen, als hörte man den Feind schon in der Ferne kommen".

Compositie
De Paukenmis is geschreven voor twee hobo's, twee klarinetten, twee fagotten, twee hoorns, twee trompetten, pauken, strijkers en orgel; later breidde Haydn de partijen voor de klarinetten uit voor alle delen, voegde een partij voor een fluit in het 'Qui tollis' toe en versterkte de trompetten door hoorns.
 Het Kyrie begint met een plechtige inleiding waarbij de pauken eerst rustig en dan zeer luid roffelen, waarmee de aard van de mis wordt getoonzet. Het Kyrie is een snel deel in sonatevorm. Het thema wordt door de sopraan ingezet, overgenomen door het koor in steeds dwingender toon, terwijl de solisten met korte partijen interveniëren.
 Het Gloria is in drie delen. Het middendeel is zeer langzaam, beginnend met een lieflijk duet voor bas en solocello in het 'Qui tollis' in A, maar met het inzetten van het koor wordt een dreigende toon gezet. De twee buitendelen zijn thematisch verwant, met fanfares van koperblazers en pauken.
 Ook het Credo is driedelig met een eveneens langzaam middendeel met een klarinetsolo voor het 'Et incarnatus est'. Het in tweeën gedeelde laatste deel eindigt met een dubbelfuga op de woorden 'Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen'.
 Het Sanctus is in twee delen, een statig openingsdeel gevolgd door een donderend snel deel op de woorden 'Pleni sunt coeli', begeleid wederom door de trompetten en de pauken. Overeenkomstig het liturgisch gebruik is het Sanctus kort.
 Het Benedictus is een andante met een onheilspellend kararakter dat begint in c klein en langzaam naar C groot gaat op de woorden 'Osanna in excelsis'.
 Het Agnus Dei bevat het deel dat de mis zijn bijnaam heeft gegeven: onverwachts komt na de eenvoudige melodie voor koor en strijkers in maat 10 de paukensolo, waar de triomfantelijke partij van de trompetten op aansluit. Syncopen op de violen en aangehouden noten op de hobo's begeleiden de pauken. Volgens Haydns biograaf Giuseppe Carpani moesten de pauken geslagen worden op de Franse manier, waardoor de dreiging wordt versterkt. De mis eindigt met een fanfareachtig 'Allegro con spirito' met een bijna dwingend gezongen 'Dona nobis pacem'

He uses intense light sources, and a very selective color palette of mostly warm tones in his paintings to help portray heavy narrations. While focusing on structures and landscapes as main subjects, Matt's creatures and characters are often abandoned inhabitants. He keeps the 'meanings' of his illustrations mostly a mystery for others to speculate and create.


Who are your ancestors? Make a family tree to find out. Ask questions and tape the answers or write them down. A good way to jog the memories of relatives is to show them an old quilt and ask for the story of its making. Other things work well, too: a treasured piece of furniture that's been in the family a long time, an old dish lovingly stored in the corner cupboard, a faded photograph. Along the way collect the family stories you hear from your parents, your grandparents, or favorite uncle or aunt. Polish one up and share it with your classmates. The class could put their family stories together in a book.

2020 Stock Watch – S Jordan Dangerfield – Stock Down
Now that the 2020 offseason has begun, following a second consecutive season in which they failed to even reach the playoffs, it's time to take stock of where the Pittsburgh Steelers stand. Specifically where Steelers players stand individually based on what we have seen happen over the course of the past season, and with notice to anything that happens going forward.
A stock evaluation can take a couple of different approaches and I'll try to make clear my reasonings. In some cases it will be based on more long-term trends, such as an accumulation of offseason activity. In other instances it will be a direct response to something that just happened. So we can see a player more than once over the course of the summer as we move forward.
Player: S Jordan Dangerfield
Stock Value: Down
In comes one potential special teams star at the safety position. out goes another? While I'm not about to write Jordan Dangerfield off—he's literally been here longer than everyone on defense shy of Heyward, Williams, and Tuitt—a guy like him is always going to be on the fringe.
And the drafting of Antoine Brooks doesn't do him any favors, a guy whom the Steelers already strongly believe will be a positive asset on special teams as a sixth-round pick and a heavy hitter who was already around the ball during his college career.
The thing that plays into his favor, of course, is the fact that the Steelers' depth at safety in general is weak. Behind Brooks and Dangerfield, the most significant name within the depth is Marcus Allen, who would have spent all of last season on the practice squad had Kameron Kelly—an AAF castaway who came out of nowhere—not gotten arrested during the season.
Still, there are some interesting names as potential sleepers who could also threaten Dangerfield's position with the team, such as John Battle, who was signed to a futures deal after the 2019 season came to an end. Tyree Kinnel is another intriguing prospect who came over from the XFL, and there are some other versatile defensive backs on the roster who could also challenge him.
Special teams is the feather in his cap, though. He is good for 300-plus snaps in all four phases every year, and he does a good enough job at it to keep getting a roster spot year after year, now heading into his fourth season.
But it's not like they gave him a restricted free agent tender. The Steelers very much know who Dangerfield at this point, and who he isn't. The player he's not could be the one who sees him land elsewhere than the 53-man roster this Fall.

Day: August 5th, 2007
Six ways to Sunday
Sunday, August 5th, 2007 | All Things, Eats, Events, Travel
Over the Ohio River into Cincy. Aside from the pair of office buildings we spied in Lexington, KY this was our first glimpse of an urban setting in almost a week.
Cincinnati has one of the largest collections of 19th-century Italianate architecture in the United States, primarily concentrated in Over-the-Rhine, just north of downtown Cincinnati; at the time of their construction, Over-the-Rhine was one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the Midwest. We saw none of those buildings, though, as the Garmin led us through the desolate, rather seedy-feeling landscapes of downtown to our hotel — more on this later.
After dropping off our bags, we went out in search of some famous Cincinnati chili. According to renowned foodies Jane and Michael Stern, who compiled a book on the nation's chili recipes, "Cincinnati is a city bewitched by chili; there are at least a hundred joints in town that make a specialty of serving it. And we do mean joints, for chili, Cincinnati-style, tends to be one rude plate of food, best eaten off a Formica counter under humming fluorescent lights after midnight in the company of other chiliheads."
Back in 1922, Empress Chili became the first chain to serve Cincinnati chili. Just three of their parlors remain, but numerous spin-offs and battlers for chili supremacy abound in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky – most run by Greek immigrants as was the original.
We decamped from downtown Cincinnati in favor of the greener, more friendly streets of Newport, Kentucky across the river to try one of Empress's first followers: Dixie Chili. Dixie's was started by a former Empress employee Nicholas Sarakatsannis in 1929.
We pulled up to the joint, and one glance at the menu underscored the sense that aside from also being called "chili," this had very little in common with Texas red. Dixie's Cincinnati chili is thin, brown, sweet, and (though I'm sure there are variants) scented with cinnamon. (The actual recipe is a family secret.) A "bowl of plain" is how locals refer to the chili alone, but more commonly, it is served over spaghetti(!) – a.k.a. a "two-way" – plus any number of toppings : "three-way," i.e., a two-way with shredded American cheese; "four-way" – a three-way with sweet onions; "five-way" – a four-way with kidney beans, up to a "six-way" (for chili connoisseurs only), which is topped with chopped, raw garlic cloves. Ay! All bowls are accompanied by oyster crackers.
The wonderful Calvin Trillin, in American Fried: Adventures of a Happy Eater (1974) (excerpted in his Tummy Trilogy), devoted a section to Cincinnati chili which I just happened to read the following morning. In it, he claims that Dixie's once offered a "seven-way,"(!) which included an egg (fried or scrambled), and chopped frankfurters. The chain has since abandoned their egg-cooking operations. (They do, however, still offer a "Coney," which is a hot dog with chili, topped with onion and/or shredded cheese.)
After dinner, we strolled along the Newport Riverfront Levee with its 10-acre pedestrian walk and shopping mall. The annual Glier's Goettafest was taking place on the waterfront. (Insert obvious "sausagefest" joke here.)
Great bridge-filled view, but very strange: an entire event devoted to German breakfast sausage. There was live entertainment (a pretty mediocre cover band and assorted clog dancers), cooling stations, food vendors serving an almost staggering variety of Goetta-inspired offerings and the "World's Only Goetta Vending Machine" — being reloaded as we watched — dispensing one pound rolls of Glier's Goetta for $2.
Check out flickr for the rest of the fest.

Packing it in
Sunday, August 5th, 2007 | All Things, Travel
Last night's stay had given us a rosier outlook on Kentucky, and we set out to do a bit of exploring along this last segment of our route.
Unfortunately, we were thwarted – twice – in our side trips this morning. First, at Lovers Leap Vineyard, which was a picturesque, if ultimately pointless detour. Then at the Four Roses Bourbon distillery, where we were turned away by the one person wandering the premises on a Sunday morning: an unfailingly genteel, elderly Southern gentleman. We probably should have anticipated as much; although 90-95% of the world's bourbon-style whisky is produced in Kentucky, about half of the state's 120 counties are completely dry, one quarter are wet, and the rest are managed under a prescribed set of specific rules (.pdf), e.g., no alcohol at all on Sundays, or individual drink sales allowed only on golf courses (seriously) or in restaurants with seating over 100.
Tobacco fields. Kentucky is the second biggest tobacco-producing state (.pdf), after North Carolina:
As we made our way north towards Ohio, we learned that just as the sales began earlier than advertised, they ended earlier, too. By 4PM most vendors were already packing up for the long drives home. After days and days of living on outdoor lots in makeshift tents and trailer parks, I don't blame them.
Thanks to J's eagle eye, I still managed to score not one – but two – of the vintage crocks I'd been coveting all week, so even though I never found my desk, I still felt the sale a success.

Our dining choices were limited on the road, and as the dinner hour grew late (in Kentucky time, that's 7:30PM) we finally settled for a lackluster meal at Village Restaurant in Liberty, KY where I was introduced to red-eye gravy – a thin gravy, made from the drippings (i.e., fat) from pan-fried country ham, mixed with black coffee or water (or according to J: Coca-Cola.)
We arrived in Danville a little before 8:30 and noticed a marked change in our surroundings: fields gave way to strip malls, and then to expansive Southern mansions.
The Chambers Bed and Breakfast is located on North Third Street, a.k.a. "Beaten Biscuit Row" — so named in the 1800s when it was said that one could walk down the street and hear the sound of cooks in the back kitchens, beating biscuits for breakfast.
After a long and hot, discouraging day, the clean and beautifully appointed home of innkeepers/partners Wynne Creekmore and Carolyn Hogwood was an oasis of gentility. Their Greek Revival home was actually fashioned from the combination of two 19th century homes — a main house and the servants quarters behind it — and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
We were assigned "The Cottage Chamber" with its adjoining bathroom, featuring a refurbished original claw-foot bath tub/shower and iron lavatory sink in which to soak and rinse away the grit and grime of the day.
Early the next morning, we were greeted with fresh, hot coffee set out on a silver tray outside our room, to ease us into the morning until the hearty breakfast prepared by Carolyn would be served in the dining room. Fresh fruit salad topped with real whipped cream, eggs — or is that "aigs"? — and bacon, a homemade apple turnover, and a currant scone, but disappointingly, no beaten biscuits. In their stead, we got what turned out to be (after J just had to ask) a round cut-out of cake, buttered and pan-toasted. Now that's brilliant.


The Weld County Sheriff's Office say 28-year-old Rachel Einspahr went to the bank's drive-up window Friday and sent a note to the teller saying there was a man in the back of her SUV who wanted money and was threatening to hurt the children. Investigators say the teller gave her $500.
The Greeley Tribune reports that an arrest affidavit says she wanted to rob the bank to pay back $15,000 under a possible plea agreement in the previous theft cases. Lawyers who have represented her didn't return calls seeking comment.

Холандия () е историческа област, част от Нидерландия. Граничи на запад със Северно море и на изток с Ейселмер.

История
Името Holland е споменато първо през 866 г. като Holtland ("Дървена страна" или "Горска страна") за местността около Хаарлем. Дълго време Холандия е наричана Графство Холандия. От 1840 г. е разделена на провинциите Северна Холандия и Южна Холандия. В региона се намират големите градове Хага, Ротердам и Амстердам.

Територията е позната по времето на Август като Germania Magna, част на Римската империя. Става част от Франкската империя и последвалата я Свещена Римска империя.

През 1384 г. попада под френско влияние и се казва Бургундска Нидерландия. През 1430 г. Графство Холандия чрез наследство отива към Династия Валоа Бургундия. След смъртта на последния бургундски херцог Карл Дръзки през 1477 г. е към Хабсбургите, по-късно е към испанската линия на Хабсбургите (Испанска Нидерландия).

От 1581 г. Графство Холандия е водеща провинция на Републиката на седемте обединени провинции на Нидерладния. По времето на Наполеон съществува Кралство Холандия (1806 – 1810), което обхваща днешните Нидерландия и Фландрия. Разделена е на провинциите Северна Холандия и Южна Холандия през 1840 г.

Crush Porn, Animal Cruelty, and US v. Stevens: Opinion Analysis
Congressional enactment of 18 U.S.C. § 48 (1999) was motivated by a concern about so-called "crush porn." As the House Committee Report explained it, crush porn videos
feature the intentional torture and killing of helpless animals, including cats, dogs, monkeys, mice, and hamsters. Crush videos often depict women slowly crushing animals to death "with their bare feet or while wearing high heeled shoes," sometimes while "talking to the animals in a kind of dominatrix patter" over "[t]he cries and squeals of the animals, obviously in great pain." Apparently these depictions "appeal to persons with a very specific sexual fetish who find them sexually arousing or otherwise exciting."
H. R. Rep. No. 106–397, p. 2 (1999). Robert Stevens was not a crush porn aficiando, but the purveyor of videos of pit bulls engaging in dogfights through his business, "Dogs of Velvet and Steel." Roberts' conviction was reversed by the Third Circuit.
Except for Justice Alito, the Justices of the United States Supreme Court this morning concluded that the Congressional expression of that concern by criminalizing the creation, possession, or distribution of " a depiction of animal cruelty" does not withstand a constitutional challenge.
In a relatively brief 8-1 opinion authored by CJ Roberts, the Court declined to "carve out" an animal cruelty exception (similar to the child pornography exception) to obscenity analysis under the First Amendment. The Court found § 48 to be of "alarming breadth." It also noted that the criminal law could operate to criminalize popular hunting television programs, a topic that was explored during the oral argument. Alito's dissent, with Appendix of state animal cruelty statutes, argues that the "animal" in animal cruelty statutes specifically excludes wildlife or lawful hunting.
The Court also had an interesting observation regarding prosecutorial discretion:
Not to worry, the Government says: The Executive Branch construes §48 to reach only "extreme" cruelty,Brief for United States 8, and it "neither has brought nor will bring a prosecution for anything less," The Government hits this theme hard, invoking its prosecutorial discretion several times. But the First Amendment protects against the Government; it does not leave us at the mercy of noblesse oblige. We would not uphold an unconstitutional statute merely because the Government promised to use it responsibly. This prosecution is itself evidence of the danger in putting faith in government representations of prosecutorial restraint. When this legislation was enacted, the Executive Branch announced that it would interpret §48 as covering only depictions "of wanton cruelty to animals designed to appeal to a prurient interest in sex." No one suggests that the videos in this case fit that description.
(Opinion at 18, citations omitted).
The Court's 8-1 affirmance of the Third Circuit opinion does give one pause after yesterday's oral argument in CLS v. Martinez, discussed here. Given the Court's decreased caseload, it seems the Court should be expending its energies a bit differently.

A great day indeed for freedom and the first amendment. The HSUS and other greedy animal rights solicitors should take notice that the people are getting wise to their exthortion schemes, and their days on the gravy train are near an end.

Torturing any life form when you have been a life form and know what pain is is beyond comprehension for a 'Human', but there it is.
What is also beyond comprehension are laws, 'Laws' that are 'not' laws, but ''prosecutorial discretions'', beyond comprehension and also terrifying.
(And please Mr. Roberts do not explain yourself with philosophic babble about interfering with the business progression of the society such a society's movements are backwards.)
Posted by: carol budro | Apr 21, 2010 4:41:06 AM
I find this decision to be very interesting. In my mind it has nothing to do with animal rights whatsoever. The real question is whether someone who captures and distributes images of a crime should also be culpable for said crime.
Under my (admittedly limited) reading of this decision, if you happen upon a dogfight, video it and post in on YouTube, you are fine. So what if you happen upon a rape, videotape and post that?
The 1st Amendment part of may gives me pause, as does the possibility that by not taping the event should de facto require the witness to step in to prevent the crime.
However, there is a double-standard here. Animal cruelty is a crime. The question should be: how do we deal with people who record and post videos of crimes, against animals or otherwise.
Slippery slope is a term I am loathe to use, but it may be appropriate in this situation.
Not all people who oppose crush videos are animal rights extremists. Many of us are companion pet owners. I agree with the statement that "Real animals will suffer and die in horrific ways because the Court has declared that animal cruelty and suffering can be sold as entertainment. This case is a huge step backward for the evolution of a humane society." Please support HR 5092.
Urge Congress to Crack Down on Crush Videos
An HSUS investigation uncovered Internet traffic on a large scale involving "crush" videos, where women in high-heeled shoes impale, crush, stomp, or smother small mammals and birds for the sexual titillation of viewers.
Public disgust over this horrifying subculture prompted Congress to take action. But, the U.S. Supreme Court has invalidated the 1999 federal law banning the commercial sale of videos depicting animal cruelty.
Outrage over the Supreme Court's decision has spurred Congress to act again—the day after the Court issued its ruling, U.S. Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) and a bipartisan group of 55 other Representatives introduced H.R. 5092 to ban the distribution and sale of grotesque crush videos.
Posted by: Mary Appleton | Jun 8, 2010 9:19:15 PM
Our veterinary clinic staff has sent correspondence to our representatives asking them to back legislation to ban crush videos under the premise that crush videos promote and glorify the CRIME of animal cruelty. Surely if someone posted videos depicting a human infant being crushed in the same fashion as these helpless animals (many of which are just "babies" themselves), there would be a huge outcry and a rush to legislate this sort of video-- First Amendment be deuced. There WOULD be no First Amendment protection. Many types of "speech" and "self-expression" are already outside the protection of the First Amendment-- sedition, child porn and "panic speech/yelling fire in the crowded theatre" for instance. The First Amendment also doesn't protect certain types of otherwise-criminal activity under the umbrella of "religious" activity, either. So this is no different.

New 3D-printed device could help treat spinal cord injuries
Research combines cutting-edge cell bioengineering and unique 3D-printing techniques
9-Aug-2018 7:00 AM EDT
University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering
University of Minnesota engineers and medical researchers have created a groundbreaking 3D-printed device that could help patients with long-term spinal cord injuries regain some function. Neuronal stem cells derived from adult human cells were 3-D printed on a 3D-printed guide and the cells differentiated into active nerve cells in the lab.

University of Minnesota researchers developed a prototype of a 3D-printed device with living cells that could help spinal cord patients restore some function. The size of the device could be custom-printed to fit each patient's spinal cord. The patient's own cells would be printed on the guide to avoid rejection in the body.

Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (08/09/2018) — Engineers and medical researchers at the University of Minnesota have teamed up to create a groundbreaking 3D-printed device that could someday help patients with long-term spinal cord injuries regain some function.
A 3D-printed guide, made of silicone, serves as a platform for specialized cells that are then 3D printed on top of it. The guide would be surgically implanted into the injured area of the spinal cord where it would serve as a type of "bridge" between living nerve cells above and below the area of injury. The hope is that this would help patients alleviate pain as well as regain some functions like control of muscles, bowel and bladder.
The research is published online today in Advanced Functional Materials, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
"This is the first time anyone has been able to directly 3D print neuronal stem cells derived from adult human cells on a 3D-printed guide and have the cells differentiate into active nerve cells in the lab," said Michael McAlpine, Ph.D., a co-author of the study and University of Minnesota Benjamin Mayhugh Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the University's College of Science and Engineering.
"This is a very exciting first step in developing a treatment to help people with spinal cord injuries," said Ann Parr, M.D., Ph.D., a co-author of the study and University of Minnesota Medical School Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery and Stem Cell Institute. "Currently, there aren't any good, precise treatments for those with long-term spinal cord injuries."
There are currently about 285,000 people in the United States who suffer from spinal cord injuries, with about 17,000 new spinal cord injuries nationwide each year.
In this new process developed at the University of Minnesota over the last two years, researchers start with any kind of cell from an adult, such as a skin cell or blood cell. Using new bioengineering techniques, the medical researchers are able to reprogram the cells into neuronal stem cells. The engineers print these cells onto a silicone guide using a unique 3D-printing technology in which the same 3D printer is used to print both the guide and the cells. The guide keeps the cells alive and allows them to change into neurons. The team developed a prototype guide that would be surgically implanted into the damaged part of the spinal cord and help connect living cells on each side of the injury.
"Everything came together at the right time," Parr said. "We were able to use the latest cell bioengineering techniques developed in just the last few years and combine that with cutting-edge 3D-printing techniques."
Even with the latest technology, developing the prototype guides wasn't easy.
"3D printing such delicate cells was very difficult," McAlpine said. "The hard part is keeping the cells happy and alive. We tested several different recipes in the printing process. The fact that we were able to keep about 75 percent of the cells alive during the 3D-printing process and then have them turn into healthy neurons is pretty amazing."
If the next steps are successful, the payoff for this research could be life-changing for those who suffer from spinal cord injuries.
"We've found that relaying any signals across the injury could improve functions for the patients," Parr said. "There's a perception that people with spinal cord injuries will only be happy if they can walk again. In reality, most want simple things like bladder control or to be able to stop uncontrollable movements of their legs. These simple improvements in function could greatly improve their lives."
In addition to McAlpine and Parr, the University of Minnesota research team includes Department of Mechanical Engineering staff and students Daeha Joung, Shuang-Zhuang Guo, Joseph R. Monat, Fanben Meng, and Sung Hyun Park; Department of Neurosurgery and Stem Cell Institute staff and students Vincent Truong, Colin C. Neitzke, and Patrick J. Walsh; and Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Development and Stem Cell Institute Assistant Professor James R. Dutton.
The research was funded primarily by Conquer Paralysis Now, a global project of the Sam Schmidt Foundation; the Minnesota Spinal Cord Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury Research Grant Program; the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering of the National Institutes of Health; the University of Minnesota Clinical and Translational Science Institute; and an anonymous donor.

Ducati Would Be The Provider For Motoe Starting In 2023
Sep, Sun, 2022
Newest News
Talking at the press conference at the MotoGP round in Misano, Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali wasn't bashful that the corporate's electrical racing program will lead to a manufacturing motorbike for the road, but cautioned that such a thing would arrive till after 2025. The details of the Ducati electrical grand prix bike are surely going to take a while to flush, as we get nearer to the 2023 season, however the benchmark will surely be the outgoing Energica Ego Corsa. With Ducati providing the MotoE equipment by way of the 2026 season, there is the chance that what we see on the monitor might be an in depth-preview to what is going to come for the street. Talking additional, the biggest limiting issue for a production electrical superbike, according to Domenicali, is the state of battery know-how, which will need to see a brand new technology come onboard to replace the current lithium options. The information is a little bit of shock, firstly as a result of it involves a longtime motorbike model, and never a startup outfit, and secondly as Borgo Panigale model has largely been proof against the electrical motorcycle development. All press releases could be found on our new merchandise page sorted by section.

A three year Degree, or an equivalent academic qualification from a foreign university is required for enrolment on the Second Level degree in Marine Biology and Ecology.
Since its foundation, the Faculty of Science of the, Università Politecnica delle Marche has been, first in Italy, characterized as a center of scientific and didactic training on the marine environment issues examined in all its components. In 2000-2001, after the activation of the new structure of the Italian University studies that provides degrees of two levels, the University Politecnica delle Marche activated one first level degree in Biological Sciences including the teaching of Marine Biology, and three second level degree including the Marine Biology one. The attractiveness of the course is in the growing awareness that the rapid deterioration of the environment is due to a short-sighted attitude of man towards nature. This trend is likely to become of no return if we do not urgently obtain the required knowledge to implement a sustainable environmental development. Thankfully, the new generations increasingly feel this strong sense of responsibility so the Marine Biology course of the Università Politecnica delle Marche is structured to provide the necessary skills to achieve this goal. The teaching staff is involved in numerous national and international projects, in temperate, tropical and polar environments ensuring updated and innovative methodological approaches. In this context, students from all over Italy and from abroad, have the opportunity to immediately find a very stimulating learning environment, not only theoretical but also of practical application, making the course a true international laboratory. From the educational point of view, the courses provides many field and laboratory activities, such as practical activities for all the teachings, a period of training at public institutions or companies and a thesis of at least one year in order to achieve the degree. The availability of a research boat equipped for the main types of oceanographic sampling, underwater activities planned during the course of study and two tropical laboratories (Maldives and Indonesia), where the dissertation can be prepared or a period of internship can be carried out. All this represents a concrete response to the need to acquire the main practical skills typically requested by the research world and the labor market.
Graduates in Marine Biology are biologists who are experts in the study of the marine environment with particular reference to: biodiversity, interaction between living organisms and the environment, evaluation, management and increase of biological resources, methodologies for environmental impact assessment consequent to different human activities, recovery systems for degraded marine environments, protection of biodiversity, conservation of marine ecosystems.
To acquire these skills, this course not only extends the basic knowledge of biology and its applications (with particular regard to ecological and marine applications) but also teaches useful techniques for the study and understanding of marine ecosystems and sampling techniques in order to gain expertise in the field of marine biology. Aspects of research, health monitoring and environmental quality of marine ecosystems, as well as those related to the conservation and management of marine resources are also taken into account. The training activities involve biological and ecological methodologies, the assessment of marine resources, the human impact on the marine environment and the processing of ecological and environmental data. At least 30 credits (240 hours) are set aside for laboratory activities including activities on boats or research vessels, underwater activities for scientific sampling (diving certification will be issued by the University to students who attend the training course). Field trips to different marine protected areas in Italy and abroad are part of the activities.
Many practical and research laboratory activities will be carried out within the "core facility" of our "Marine Research Laboratory".
The course in Marine Biology and Ecology provides graduates with professional skills for activities at executive-level, typical of technical professions concerning the health and life sciences and specialists in research and training, as defined by the ISTAT classification. The professional openings expected for graduates include research at universities and public institutions that deal with environmental issues (OGS, CNR, Ispra, ENEA-National Agency for Alternative Energy, Environment Departments, Regional Agencies for Environmental Protection, Marine Protected Areas), science teachers, activities in private firms and companies that deal with the environment, with particular reference to the sea, public and private aquariums.
Research at universities and public institutions: setting of experimental designs, use of laboratory analytical techniques, data analysis, sampling procedures.
Environmental manager at institutional agencies: national and international standards for the territory protection.
Aquarist at public or private facilities: knowledge of the species of aquariological interest.
Nature guide: knowledge of key habitats and species protected by national and international standards.
Manager of marine protected areas: knowledge of the management major issues in related legislation.
Environmental consultant: characterization and environmental impact assessments.
Aquaculturist: knowledge of the main aquaculture techniques applied to the species of interest.
The profession of marine biologist offers a wide range of job opportunities in the international context. Scientific diving operations are undoubtedly some of the most important skills that a marine biologist can acquire.
Students enrolled on the Second Level degree course in Marine Biology and Ecology can attend a free diving course for beginners (optional on request). In this way, students with a diving license will be able to fully exploit the opportunities offered by our training programs and take part in practical activities which apply some of the main methods of underwater sampling. It will be possible to do scuba diving to acquire expertise in various techniques, such as the observation of the morphological profiles of the seabed, sampling photography and the use of specific surveying and/or sampling tools in order to carry out investigations of various plant and animal organisms, recognition of species and visual biodiversity surveys.
"Actea" is a boat equipped to carry out studies and research in the coastal marine environment. It provides scientific support for scuba diving and is fitted with a winch to lower into the sea scientific instrumentation such as sensors for the measurement of the main environmental parameters, samplers for marine sediments, a grab bucket, box corer, multi corer, hydrological bottles to collect water samples at depth. It hosts up to six people and is used on various courses of study for practical training. Students also have the opportunity to be involved (for example during internships or thesis preparation) in specific activities that include scientific expeditions at sea with other research vessels.


Music, hedonism and sustainability are regular fare at Wonderfruit, the annual music and lifestyle fest that takes place in Pattaya, Thailand. But organisers want to show they take fun seriously too, with the launch of invite-only business networking event Ethos at the fifth edition of the festival.
The half-day programme took place on 13 December, on a grassy terraced knoll where the event's 50 attendees sat in the shade of red cotton umbrellas hand-made by local artisans, dubbed the Eco-Pavilion.
Miniwiz founder and chief executive officer Arthur Huang addresses the audience.
It featured presentations, a brainstorming session, a tour of the expansive festival grounds, and lunch by renowned chefs "Bo" Duangporn Songvisava and Dylan Jones from Michelin-starred restaurant Bo.lan and Netflix's Chef's Table fame.
Speaking to Eco-Business, Ethos organiser Sara Soulier said the aim was to make Wonderfruit a rallying point for responsible business and organisations to come together to find solutions and drive positive environmental change in the face of the "gloom and doom cast in the state of the environment and world today".
The turn-out included representatives from festival sponsors including alcoholic beverage maker Singha, as well as corporates, artists, and representatives from non-governmental organisations and media, many of whom were attending Wonderfruit for the first time.
While a business networking event and a festival seem like an unlikely match, Wonderfruit is the "one of the most natural places" to convene and discuss sustainability, said Soulier, who is the project lead for Plastic Pollution Coalition, a partner to Wonderfruit.

Attendees at Ethos 2018 sit down for a brainstorming session.
Attendees heard from Arthur Huang, a National Geographic Explorer and founder and chief executive officer of Miniwiz, a Taiwanese company that has made headlines for circular economy design and solutions, about his vision for recycling. The presentation by David Galipeau, chief impact officer, Asia Pacific, United Nations Development Program's SDG Impact Finance, talked about the intersection of global megatrends and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the impact for Thailand and Asia.
Soulier said that Ethos marked the start of Wonderfruit's engagement with the business community, and the team is in discussions to hold two more events in the year ahead. This includes workshops on the SDGs or strategic sessions to develop sustainable solutions that can be showcased at Ethos in 2019.
