The Fourth China-Kazakhstan Economic and Social Research Forum Held at ZUFE
Time:November 29, 2021 clicks:
On November 27, the Fourth China-Kazakhstan Economic and Social Research Forum (the forum) was held online. The theme of the forum was "China-Kazakhstan Economic and Social Cooperation in the Post-Epidemic Era: Complementary Advantages and Innovative Development." The main venue of the forum was the Xiasha Campus of ZUFE. Experts and scholars from government agencies, research institutes, universities, news and publication agencies of China and Kazakhstan, as well as business leaders, conducted extensive and in-depth discussions on the theme of the forum. The forum was respectively hosted by Vice President Zhanyong Li, Prof. Muhong Yu, Director of the Kazakhstan Center for Economic and Social Research, and Zhixian Chai, Vice President of the School of International Education and Studies.
ZUFE President Xiaomin Zhong delivered a speech on behalf of the university. He said that ZUFE has been actively practicing the spirit of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, continuously deepening international exchanges, and doing a lot of fruitful work to promote China-Kazakhstan cooperation in areas like scientific research, personnel training, and cultural exchange. He stressed that ZUFE will explore new models, areas, and methods for China-Kazakhstan cooperation in the post-epidemic era, further promote the construction of the first academic platform focusing on Kazakhstan economic and social researches in China, and strive to usher in a new era in the development of a permanent strategic partnership between China and Kazakhstan.
Chinese Ambassador to Kazakhstan Mr. Xiao Zhang said that China and Kazakhstan are to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. And at a new starting point in history in the post-pandemic era, the two countries will enjoy various opportunities of cooperation in areas like building the Digital Silk Road, the Innovation Silk Road, the Green Silk Road, and the Health Silk Road. He hoped that experts and scholars will continue to conduct in-depth studies on Kazakhstan's economy and society from the perspective of serving China's "dual circulation" economic strategy and promoting the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and serve as the messenger and bridge for effective communication between the people of the two countries.
Mr. Baglan, Director of the Political Office of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in China, pointed out that the top areas of cooperation between Kazakhstan and China include jointly addressing global climate issues, developing green energy, and expanding cooperation in the field of transportation and logistics. He hoped that the participating experts and scholars will propose countermeasures and share their wisdom on how the two countries can overcome the difficulties brought about by the COVID-19 epidemic and make more effective use of the potential of cooperation between the two countries.

Marcel Mestdagh, (1926-1990) was a Belgian historian whose curiosity was sparked by a discovery of unusual street patterns in the Belgian city of Ghent. This led to a lifelong interest in the Viking culture that had settled on both sides of the English Channel. It was this study of the Vikings that led him to realise that they had knowledge, now forgotten, of the purpose of many of the megalithic monuments which Mestdagh identified as a form of road system, laid out in giant ovals with radials. At the centre of these ovals was the ancient city of Sens where the greatest concentration of megalithic monuments in France existed.
Philip Coppens informs us[1275.184] that a further strange discovery by Mestdagh was that the ancient road network he identified, centred on Sens, was mirrored by a similar network of roads in England centred on Nottingham!
In the course of his investigations Mestdagh discovered an aspect of the Stonehenge-Avebury complex that had been overlooked, namely that the two sites were situated on the circumference of a huge oval. He further discovered that this oval was on a scale 1/10th of the ovals that he had discovered in France.
A Dutch website(a) give a brief overview of Mestdagh's theory. Mestdagh's Atlantis ideas were published posthumously by Coppens in two books, Atlantis  and Pre-Atlantis, both in Dutch.
A YouTube clip(b) also gives some idea of Mestdagh's theory.


On Saturday morning we packed the girls in the car and drove out to pick up a very special bundle of fluff. Want to see what we got?
The girls are very excited.
The dog is super excited and would like nothing more for us to simply look the other way while a chick is in reach.
And when they flap their little wings? Yeah, it's all she can do to not put her mouth on the little things. So far so good but we are being very careful when she's around them.
But waking up to the soft little sound of ten chicks saying "peep" is awesome. I'm going to be a little sad when they get too big to sleep in a box in our bedroom. Although by then, they may be a bit louder and more obnoxious.
We're currently working on a garden plan, have a huge pile of concrete rubble that we're building retaining walls from and tree branches ready to cut for more landscaping projects. Next we're thinking about getting a goat. Thoughts?

Blood cancer rates and mortality in Australia much worse than previously thought, study finds
By Yvette Gray and Yara Murray-Atfield Sun 1 Sep 2019, 7:39 AM AEST
Brett Conley is now living "a relatively normal" life but the effects of her blood cancer will always be with her.
ABC News: Dylan Anderson
When she went to the doctor with a blood nose and symptoms of fatigue, Brett Conley had no idea she would be rushed straight to hospital with an aggressive form of blood cancer.
Blood cancer could be the leading form of cancer deaths by 2035, according to new research
The Leukemia Foundation report found the true impact of the disease in Australia has been underestimated
A new taskforce has been established to tackle the high rates of blood cancer
"We were a bit stunned … I thought it was a death sentence, to be honest," she said.
Ms Conley, now 28, is one of thousands of Australians who has experienced blood cancer, but a new report has found the true size, scale and impact of the disease in Australia has previously been underestimated.
The Leukaemia Foundation's State of the Nation report found when compared to the high incidence and mortality of breast, lung and colorectal cancers, blood cancer is now the second-deadliest cancer in Australia, after lung cancer.
"Right now, every day, 41 Australian children, adults, parents and grandparents will be told they have blood cancer," Leukaemia Foundation CEO Bill Petch said.
"And unfortunately 20 people will lose their life to blood cancer, making these cancers some of the most common and deadly in the country."
If current rates continue, it is expected more than 186,000 Australians will lose their life to blood cancer between now and 2035, making it the leading cause of cancer death in the country.
The research found blood cancers like leukemia are the most commonly diagnosed children's cancer, with about 400 children currently diagnosed each year.
For Ms Conley, the high rates in children were all she knew about when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in February 2018, at 26 years old.
"I didn't know anything about blood cancer, specifically leukemia, other than children got it and when I was a young child, a lot didn't survive. So for me that just sent off alarm bells," she said.
Photo Brett Conley and her boyfriend Ken spent months in and out of hospital for Ms Conley's treatment.
But the research shows more than 5,200 adults between the ages of 25 and 65 are diagnosed each year and about 500 adolescents and young adults receive a blood cancer diagnosis.
Ms Conley underwent intensive rounds of chemotherapy and full-body radiation in Melbourne, and had to search around the globe to find a candidate for a stem cell transplant.
The highly risky procedure helped in her fight against the leukemia and she is now living "like a relatively normal person", but has not been without complications.
"I will have to live a life with long-term health ramifications, so that's early menopause, infertility and recently diagnosed with osteoporosis at 28."
'It's a lottery whether you're going to survive'
Photo Deborah Sims is now cancer-free.
The first-of-its-kind nationwide report, released today, identifies four priority areas to tackle blood cancer, including empowering patients, ensuring equity of access, accelerating research and catalysing health service reform.
Mr Petch said the cost to the health system of treating and caring for people with blood cancer is expected to increase to over $10.9 billion in 2035, up from $3.4 billion dollars today, unless changes are made.
The alarming figures have prompted the Federal Government to set up a national Blood Cancer Taskforce, which will bring together researchers and patients for the first time to develop a national action plan.
One of the members is patient advocate Deborah Sims, who was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia eight years ago.
The Melbourne mother of three was terminally ill, with 81 per cent of her bone marrow filled with leukemia, when she discovered an experimental trial in London for a new drug.
Using her UK passport, she was able to get on the trial — but had to use all of her superannuation in order to afford to access the treatment.

"The inequalities in Australia … it is a lottery whether you're going to survive if you live in a regional area," she said.
"If you do not see the best consultants, if you do not have access to clinical trials and if you do not have access, more importantly, to information and be able to advocate for yourself, your chances of surviving compared to someone who is living a stone's throw from the [Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre] can be much lower, as much as 8 per cent lower."
She said the new taskforce would be "tremendously important" in tackling differences in treatment outcomes across Australia.
"This has never been done before. It's incredible. I'm on a taskforce with the most brilliant minds in Australia, most brilliant doctors, scientists and people from Government who can make a difference," Ms Sims said.

Cancer mortality rates continue to drop, according to national report
Written by Ana Sandoiu on April 1, 2017
The latest Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer finds that, with the exception of two forms of cancer, 5-year survival rates for almost all cancer types have increased significantly.
The latest Annual Report to the Nation shows that cancer death rates continue to drop.
Since 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) – both parts of the Department of Health and Human Services – together with the American Cancer Society and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) have collaborated to create the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer.
The document offers information on the incidence and mortality trends in the United States. The previous report – published in March 2016 – gathered data between 1975 and 2012, and it revealed an increase in the incidence of liver cancer.
This latest report – published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute – examines clinical data collected between 1975 and 2014, and it shows a significant decrease in the number of deaths caused by nearly all types of cancer, with the exception of two.
The study – led by Ahmedin Jemal, Ph.D., of the American Cancer Society – also looks at survival rates as a way of evaluating the progress made in the fight against cancer. As Jemal explains, "while trends in death rates are the most commonly used measure to assess progress against cancer, survival trends are also an important measure to evaluate progress in improvement of cancer outcomes."
Survival rates increase for nearly all types of cancer
Jemal and colleagues compared the 5-year survival rates for cancers diagnosed from 1975 to 1977 with those diagnosed between 2006 and 2012.
Overall, the findings revealed a marked increase in 5-year survival rates during the latter period for almost all types of cancer. The only two exceptions were cervical and uterine cancer.
The largest increase in survival rates was noted in leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloma (or cancer of the bone marrow), and prostate and kidney cancers. The numbers of patients who survived these forms of cancer increased by 25 percent or more.
Other cancers with the greatest survival rate were thyroid cancer, melanoma, and breast cancer in women.
By contrast, the cancers diagnosed between 2006 and 2012 that had the lowest survival rates were cancer of the pancreas, liver, stomach, esophagus, and brain.
"We last included a special section on cancer survival in 2004, and as we found then, survival improved over time for almost all cancers at every stage of diagnosis," says the lead author of the study. "But survival remains very low for some types of cancer and for most types of cancers diagnosed at an advanced stage."
More preventive measures needed, authors say
Although the reported trends can be seen as encouraging, the authors underscore the need for more preventive measures and resources for identifying risk factors that could help to stave off cancer.
Dr. Lisa C. Richardson, director of CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, further details the findings, and she calls for a collaborative and focused effort to stop preventable cancers:
"This report found that tobacco-related cancers have low survival rates, which underscores the importance of continuing to do what we know works to significantly reduce tobacco use.
With obesity as a risk factor for cancer, we need to continue to support communities and families in prevention approaches that can help reverse the nation's obesity epidemic. We need to come together to create interventions aimed at increasing the uptake of recommended, effective cancer screening tests, and access to timely cancer care."
The executive director of NAACCR, Betsy A. Kohler, also weighs in on the findings:
"The continued drops in overall cancer death rates in the United States are welcome news, reflecting improvements in prevention, early detection, and treatment," she says. "But this report also shows us that progress has been limited for several cancers, which should compel us to renew our commitment to efforts to discover new strategies for prevention, early detection, and treatment, and to apply proven interventions broadly and equitably."

I checked this post again after discovering that I'm apparently not going enough. I thought my once per day was regular but two of my vegan friends said it isn't. I'm at my wits end about what else to do. I have no idea how to get more fiber or if that will even change anything. I think I might just be a once-daily pooper!
First, let me say I love the site and the helpful tips!
I started with the green drink a couple months ago and LOVE (l-o-v-e) it! I drink it every morning. It's the same drink Dr. Oz (loved around these parts :)) made on Oprah a while back. She deemed it "a glass of fresh" (or something like that). It really is refreshing – and full of fiber.
I put it in the juicer (a little too cold for smoothies for me) and it is a morning (or lunch or afternoon snack) delight – spinach, parsley, celery, apples, ginger, cucumber, lemon and lime. Yummy! Really, I think you should give it a try. It will change your mind completely and because it's juiced, there's no gritty-ness.
Wow I was just talking about this with my sister. I have been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and trying my best to go at least once a day. I have increased my fiber intake with whole grains, beans, fruits, and veggies but I still struggle. I really need to add green Smoothies and flaxseed. its also good to know that im not the only one who needs to go more lol.
Thanks for the post. I've always been pretty regular going once a day and I notice if for some reason I've skipped a day. 1 thing I've noticed since eating more clean is not going more often, but the 1 time I go there is more of it. A lot more!
not getting enough water your body pulls it from your intestines causing harder stools resulting in constipation. 25-35 grams of fiber per day is ideal.
I was once questioned about how much I "go" because of the way I eat (vegetarian). I explained that over time, your body adjusts to the healthier eating and it is not a big deal … they were not hearing me at all and thought they were right & "cleaner"/neater in their minimal go frequencies….
I'm so glad I went back and reread this post. I've been looking to find out if I'm normal. I started clean eating and I've dropped 6 pounds in a week, my stomach is flatter than it's ever been, and my bathroom time is…..
I went from going once a day with the help of fiber pills…otherwise every 2 or 3 days..to going 2-3 times every day. Clean eating has changed my life!
ooooh i didnt know that 'added fiber' didnt necessarily work as well as natural fiber. i was always a little suspicious of paying more for things because one iota of fiber was 'added', but that's just me. and u def need more more water if u eat more fiber.
i'm not sure what to do with flax. i've read that you have to grind up the seeds in order to get the oil or you get no benefit from them. i've eaten them whole and uhhhh…wont type where i have seen them:((( they are fiber for sure omg!
I haven't tried a green smoothie yet, but I have been drinking the green juice that I saw on "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"; I started this week and I have had one every morning for breakfast. It has kale, cucumber, celery, apples, lemon and ginger.
I watched that documentary last night. I am looking online for a juicer as I am typing.
I love this ESP the talk about going more to the bathroom than 2 to 3 times a week I will up my fiber and try these green smoothies! My husband loves smoothies with cactus! Thank YOU!


Brain Awareness Week is here! The campaign to spread the word about the wonders of the brain and nervous system is not just here in the United States. BAW is a global campaign, and we are proud to report that awareness is being raised on every continent but Antarctica (clearly the penguins are out of touch). This week, we will be highlighting events on one continent per day, starting today with Africa and finishing with Europe on Saturday.
Efforts to increase brain awareness in Africa continue to grow! Six nations participated in BAW 2012; this year, eight nations are taking part. BAW 2013 participation includes partners in: Algeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria and South Africa.
Nigeria leads the way in Africa, with two-thirds of the continent's 30 BAW events. Many events in Nigeria focus on deterring drug use and abuse amongst secondary school students. Universities across the nation will head into schools to teach students about the brain, and the detrimental effects of drug use on it. One particularly interesting event in Nigeria aims to educate people on the facts about epilepsy in hopes of refuting local hearsay that voodooism is the cause of the disorder.
Here at the Dana Foundation we love the Brain Bee competition, and we are proud to say that the competition has now found its way to Africa via Nigeria and Kenya; we hope the competition continues to grow. A Florida based foundation will be educating the people of Accra, Ghana, on signs and symptons of acute brain hemorrhage. This kind of intercontinental Brain Awareness Week exchange is fantastic and we hope to see more of it the future. What better way to bring nations and people together than through the brain we all share?

Heavy Snow And Budget Woes: What It Could Mean For Our Roads?
| Bradshaw & Bryant PLLC
The continued budget issues and the heavy snow may be leading to bigger problems for Minnesota roads. One of the responses was especially concerning for all drivers:
Mike Kennedy, the Minneapolis longtime street maintenance and repair director, said that primary snow removal is proceeding as usual despite the cuts but that some secondary post-snow emergency clearing will be delayed, or may not happen.
The city's revamping of snow removal involves cutting costs by reducing its full-time staff of drivers, heavy equipment operators and laborers from 134 workers to 80, then setting up a force of reserve workers for snow emergencies and calling in qualified drivers from the city's public works roster to plow. The city also is renting less removal equipment.
There's been all sorts of discussion that cuts to local governments (aid to the cities has been cut twice) have lead to reduced municipal and county jobs. Less police, fireman, road workers, and plow drivers. All of these are vital losses for Minnesotan drivers.
It's clear that the money has got to come from somewhere, but when the Governor comes to the table with his hands already tied by old campaign promises, there really is no real negotiation. Minnesota has always been great at clearing the roads, in part because of a lot of practice, but also because it's important. It's one thing to read about southern states shutting down with a inch of snow, we simply can't have that happen here.


Well, evidently most of you did not heed my plea to buy a lot of sweet corn in your local grocery stores. It looked like we had a perfect set-up for a profitable marketing season on our sweet corn. South Florida finished up earlier than normal, and shipped all of their corn out by Memorial Day weekend. The boys in south Georgia began harvesting corn with good movement and prices.
And THEN along came Riverview to harvest our first planting on May 28th. That was the very day we were placed on restricted harvest and falling prices due to weak demand. In some ways, it is nice to know that we have enough power to single handedly move the market. I tend to think that we are a jinx, and have offered to my two partners to cease planting sweet corn if they will pay me a substantial insurance fee to stay out of the market , and allow them to sell at higher prices. They did not seem interested in my deal.
We never begin planting our sweet corn as early as most folks here because to do so would require us to begin planting shortly after Valentine's Day. We are still way too busy harvesting Yankees at that time to think about planting sweet corn. On the bright side, we are experiencing tremendous yields and great quality on the first three plantings that we have been allowed to nibble at picking each day. On the negative side, we figure that we are losing about 12 cents per crate on each harvested crate through today; so you folks really need to begin buying more corn. This is strictly a supply/demand business with no forward pricing and no safety net.
In closing this blog, I find it an interesting observation that for half of the year, I deal with the wealthiest and brightest folks in the world. At this time of the year, I am dealing with the other end of the spectrum. My problem is remembering which group I am talking to when trying to get our corn harvested. The only Haitian word that I understand is "Boss". They also call me by another name that I understand, but can't write in a public forum.


The motor nerves that activate the muscular fibers by transmitting the nerve impulses.
The neuromuscular junctions in transmiting the nerve impulses of the motor nervse for muscular fibers (more common in the motor units of rapid contraction muscular fibers - type II).
The proper contractile mechanism in generating strength due to depletion of the reserves of ATP, phosphate and creatina, depletion of the reserves of muscular glycogen, lack of local oxygenation and the accumulation of lactate.
Lactate is the main metabolite responsible for the onset of the local muscular fatigue and it is produced by the glycolic anaerobic system, a result of the absence of oxygen.
The carbohydrates are transformed into our organism into simple sugar (GLUCOSE), and that blood sugar can then be used immediately to generate energy (by glucolise), or it is stored in the muscle as muscular glycogen and in the liver as hepatic glycogen through the process of glucogenese.
During glucolise molecules of ATP and piruvic acid are produced by the absence of oxygen, and transformed into lactate, which when accumulated in excess, along with other variables results local muscular fatigue.
This system has duration of approximately 1 � minutes, being characterized by activities of high intensity that demand force and speed.
The blood lactate concentration during the exercise is related to the intensity of the exercise, but it also is influenced by the duration of this exercise. However, the presence of this metabolite does not have to be understood as the great cause of the fatigue, and yes as a new source of energy supply since blood lactate through the oxidation and removal of the muscle, is transformed in the liver into glucose.
The capacity of oxidation and removal of the blood lactate is related to the level and specificity of the training, but it can be optimized with a good active recovery (through continuous exercises with low of intensity).

INSAIT JOY
INSAIT PRO
GenGee Sports Shines in "Football Market" Expo
05-12-2017Jose Galiano
Via Xinhua Sports
MOSCOW, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — The 15th international exhibition for football industry specialists known as the "Football Market" has closed at the CEC "Expocenter" at Krasnaya Presnya in Moscow.
This is one of the most influential events in the field held in Russia and Eastern Europe, and this year it was held against the backdrop of the official drawing ceremony for the finals of the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. Hundreds of pieces of football equipment and technology from companies around the world were showcased to professionals from around the football industry during the three-day expo.
Only one Chinese sports tech company took part in the Football Market this year: GenGee Sports. The firm has brought its proprietary INSAIT series of products to the exhibition. GenGee's booth has attracted a great many professionals in the field to try out its products. The president of the "Football Market" company and the organizer of the exhibition, Yuri Belous, visited the booth of GenGee Sports right after the opening ceremony. After listening to the product introduction from GenGee's CEO Luo Xiangwang, Belous praised GenGee for its strong focus on R&D.
"The INSAIT series of products have distinct characteristics. Such professional sports-tech products will help athletes to better improve their performance on the fields," he remarked after visiting the booth. In particular, he believes there will be a wide range of applications for youth football teams in Russia.
A senior reporter of Russian public sports channel Match TV, who is himself a former professional footballer, Stanislav Cherchesov, was pretty amazed at how a company from China could take the leading position in field of football technology.
"INSAIT K1 is more accessible to youth football teams with reasonable price compared to other analysis systems, it has some really powerful functions that coaches might need the simultaneous use of multiple systems to have. This should be widely promoted in Russian youth football teams," Cherchesov said.
He also said that he will do everything in his power to facilitate GenGee's cooperation with the Russian Football Union.
Representatives from Russian enterprises were also quick to praise the technology showcased by the Chinese firm. VAR Video is the largest video distribution equipment provider in Russia: almost all Russian television stations are using their products. Sales director for the company, Aleksey Poroykov, said he was very interested in INSAIT C1. He believes that this product will have great potential in the Russian market.
Exhibiting a different response than did the professionals, two local internet celebrities were so obsessed with INSAIT S2 smart football that they could hardly put it down. Although they repeatedly asked the staff to give them a INSAIT S2 smart football on opening day, they failed to get the ball at the beginning due to it not yet being officially on sale. But they got their wish eventually.
To express their excitement, they shared a group photo with GenGee staff on Instagram and made a comment on the S2 smart football system the next day, saying "this is great progress in football history", which aroused lots of their followers' interests and attentions on the unique smart football.
The continuous stream of visitors from the football industry that filed into GenGee's booth during three-day expo attests to just how big of an impact China's ongoing transformation into a sports manufacturing powerhouse is having on the industry writ large.
Last month, Adidas unveiled Telestar 18 as the official match ball for the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. It is embedded with an NFC chip which allows football fans to interact with the ball over a smart phone.
The INSAIT K1 smart football developed by GenGee features unprecedented levels of accuracy and long-lasting wireless charging technology. In addition to this flagship product, it owns more than 40 patented industry-leading technologies.
The "smart football" is a breakthrough part of the system and an integral part of what makes it unique. It generates trajectory data precisely, and allows coaches to monitor the performance data of their team or individual players in real time during training or match and make informed decisions on tactics by analyzing visualized statistics.
The future of the world's favorite sport will soon arrive as a result of FIFA's incorporation of integrated technology into football matches at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. A wave of sports innovation is expected to sweep the globe as kick-off approaches, and the work of GenGee is a testament to the fact that China is at the forefront of efforts to upgrade the beautiful game with the latest, most cutting-edge technology on earth.

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. It has been an interesting year and I wish to reflect upon all the good and bad as they are equal in the eyes of the Universe. I am thankful for all the lessons I've learned and all the ones I've taught simply by being there.
Now is the time of Harvest, so I am asking Universe to provide me with more insight into myself, to give me more abundance and to give the same for others as well. Wonder what everyone else's reflections are? Please feel free to comment below!
We are just walking each other home.

Sun girl Jennifer visits Britain's most haunted house
By Nadia Vella
TUCKING myself into bed, I flash the torch under each piece of furniture before turning out the light.
Within seconds of being plunged into darkness, a cold breeze sends a shiver down my spine and I flick the dusty lamp back on.
Quivering, I tell myself it is just a draught from the large open fireplace.
Then there is a series of loud creaks from outside the door and a shadow forms in the antique mirror.
Leaping to my feet, I make a run for the spiral staircase — the quickest route out of there.
Because far from a relaxing break in the Gloucestershire countryside, I am attempting to spend the night at Britain's most haunted house.
However, as a self-confessed scaredy cat I couldn't make it past midnight at the Ancient Ram Inn. And I am not the only one…
The Sun revealed last week how owner John Humphries' historic home is so haunted that his daughter Caroline Humphries had to arrange a special care package for her dad because his current carers are too scared to enter alone.
Among the terrifying testimonials from visitors to the Ancient Ram in Wotton-under-Edge are claims of screams from an invisible child and furniture being flung across the room.
One carer complained that her clothes were being tugged at by a ghost while she was working.
Caroline, 53, says: "Gloucestershire council signed off having two carers after dark and told me I wouldn't have to contribute towards the cost.
"Thankfully, we have been granted non-residential social care for John at the council's expense and it's all because of the ghosts."
Sitting with disabled John, who is 87, it is clear he has had some pretty hair-raising experiences since moving into the Ram 50 years ago. But he has no intention of moving out.
Pointing at the spot where I am perched, he says: "You are sitting in the most haunted place in the whole house, dear.
"Under that bench is a 5,000-year-old pagan grave, and sometimes the incubus — a lustful demon — will come along during the night in that exact place and try to take your clothes off.
"It is frightening but the only way to deal with it is to speak with authority — and it leaves me alone."
It is pitch-dark outside and because the property is so vast, John lives in a single room. A light flashes outside and we flinch before realising it is just the security lamp on the drive as ghost-finder Barri Ghai arrives with his paranormal detector equipment.
John tells Barri: "The ghosts are everywhere. We've had guests ju
"Dogs turn on their owners when they are in the vicinity and many have described a feeling of being 'held down' on the beds by a heavy force.
"I am a religious man and have been a Christian all my life. I wouldn't lie — it's a haunted house."
Barri and I walk through the winding, dark corridors and the chill in the air makes us zip up our coats.
Just as we enter the front room, Barri's EMF reader, which senses electromagnetic fields associated with ghostly presences, starts beeping.
Turning on the light reveals an open grave marked with a wooden cross and the reader flat-lines.
Rigid with fear, I ask John what happened in this spot.
He says: "When I was renovating the property, back when I bought it, I discovered small bones and encased daggers under the earth. We can't be certain but I believe that children had been sacrificed there to pagan gods.
"Now I realise that the property stands on one of the biggest graveyards in England. But once we had disturbed one grave, we didn't want to go digging any further.
Spirit? … ghostly image caught on camera
"If you really want to get the ghosts stirred up, the best way is to disturb them by moving stuff around . . . they don't like it."
On entering the Bishop Room, the most haunted bedroom in the property, I wondered if I would survive the night.
John says: "Some people say a monk haunts this room, others say it is the ghost of a centurion on horseback.
"The stab marks on the bedding are from ghostly goings-on."
Barri echoes John's spooky tales, adding: "I have heard of people being unable to get out of this room once they get inside. People definitely don't 'sleep' in the room."
John instructs me to rap on the crooked door with the wooden cane he hands to me.
After each knock, I call out to ask: "Is anybody there?"
Flash … staircase spook photographed again
I am not sure I want to know the answer but apparently showing respect is the way to prevent being spooked.
Caroline, who spent her childhood in the Ancient Ram, says: "I have only ever slept in this room once — and I wouldn't again.
"The carers have said they hear things moving around when they are in the upstairs part of the house and are too scared to use the toilet alone.
"When we first got carers in to help with my dad, five months ago when he broke his leg, they would come for 15 minutes three times daily. But with them being too frightened to come, I've put CCTV cameras all over the property to keep an eye on everything and make sure Dad is OK.
"Despite it all working out well, I am afraid of angering the spirits by messing with their environment."
Not afraid … Ancient Ram Inn owner John Humphries
The empty stare of the taxidermy and religious paraphernalia in the house do nothing to ease my concerns and there are rumours of guests needing to be exorcised after a night's stay.
Caroline says: "The first clear written record we have of the inn is in 1145. It is even in the Domesday Book. But it's listed as going back to time immemorial, so it could actually be a lot older. It was once used by priests to keep their slaves and workers who helped construct the St Mary Church.
"In 1930, the inn was bought by Maurice de Bathe and it's had a few private owners since then. Dad bought it for just over £2,600 in 1968.
"It's also built on the intersection of two ley lines, which people believe have high spiritual energy.
"We've traced the lines back and they go all the way through the centre of Stonehenge."
Some local people tell me they cross the road to walk as far away from the property as possible.
And despite my initial scepticism, the legend of the Ancient Ram Inn seems more than just hocus-pocus.
Before we leave, I pick up John's copy of the Bible for reassurance. He warns: "You be careful driving out of here. Many visitors say they have problems with their cars after a night at the Ram."
I check my brakes before turning out of the drive. But on the main road, a sack of potatoes flies off the back of a truck and lands in front of my car. I swerve and just miss it.
It has been a weird 24 hours and I am feeling shaken and left wondering if I did annoy the ghosts at The Ancient Ram Inn.
One thing I know for sure, though, is that I am not going to stay any longer to find out.
Gloucestershire and Stroud councils and Network Health Care were contacted for a response. All refused to comment on individual cases.
'TV crew man was dragged off his feet'
Hunter … Yvette Fielding
"GHOSTS walking through walls, demonic entities getting into bed with you and open graves in the front room. The Ancient Ram Inn is my kind of place to spend the night," writes Most Haunted TV presenter YVETTE FIELDING.
"In 2005 I took the team from Most Haunted to this allegedly haunted inn. When we arrived we were met by the owner John who told us, in no uncertain terms, that as we crossed the threshold we were to say 'Hello' and to show no disrespect.
"One of the crew, Stuart, forgot to say 'hello' and lived to regret his mistake.
"When the lights were turned off in the house we all went into a room that housed a lot of junk and boxes.
"Within seconds Stuart was dragged off his feet and seemingly pulled on to the floor. He lay curled up in the foetal position and just screamed. Something was hitting him and wouldn't stop.
"The next morning Stuart showed us his bruises. They were all over his torso.
"A couple of weeks later his hair started falling out and he handed in his resignation."

Unicef says that Scottish mothers are 'failing dismally' to breastfeed their babies successfully for the recommended time. Only 2% of mothers in Scotland are solely breastfeeding their babies for the recommended six months, says Unicef, and less than 50% of Scottish mothers breastfeed their newborns, compared to 99% In Norway.
The latest figures show that there has been no significant increase in breastfeeding rates since 2001 despite the Government plans to increase breatfeeding rates. In 2008 only 36.1% of Scottish mothers were still breastfeeding at their six-to-eight-week review.
Formula feeding became popular in the 1970s when manufacturers promoted it as the safe alternative to breastfeeding.

When Men's Vogue suggested to Redstone Studios - makers of one-of-a-kind maps that resurrect the cartography of bygone ages - that they work in 3-D for the first time, they took inspiration from a pair of giant globes, one terrestrial and one celestial, that Louis XIV commissioned from cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli in 1680. The Sun King's beloved globes, which recently went back on display in Paris's newly restored Grand Palais, are about fifteen feet in diameter, with space inside for 30 awed visitors. Redstone's version is a more desk-friendly size (diameter: 18.7 inches) but it's no less striking, thanks to a painstakingly hand-painted surface that pays homage to Coronelli with whimsical ships and sea monsters, as well as the nonexistent Frisland - a North Atlantic isle "discovered" by two Venetian adventurers who claimed to have found the New World. "Cartography was like gossip back then," explains Redstone's Connie Brown. "One mapmaker did it and the others followed." Mapmakers wanting to follow Redstone will have their work cut out for them.

There's nothing I can tell you about Glenfiddich that you already don't know. It is unquestionably the most popular single malt whisky in the world. They are by and large one of the most consistently above average whiskies produced given their staggering levels of output.
In fact I recently read they're scaling up production to meet demand and more Glenfiddich in the world is, in my opinion, a good thing!
I was invited by our local distributor for an evening of tasting the classic Glenfiddich range which was quite nice. It's quite common to give these expressions a pass just because they're the most drunk whisky in the world. And you kind of forget why they're No1. It's because they are pretty damn good.
This is half decent though I feel that the palate was a touch over-oaked and a bit thin. The general consensus among the group was that it felt like it was made to order. And by that I probably mean that all the flavors that are supposed to please me were there but for some reason didn't work so well together. It's not a bad whisky. It's not awesome either.
The final two statements in your review sum up 'Fiddich, if you ask me. Many 'snobs' will turn their noses up at this over-marketed malt, but it is perfectly fine whisky. It's just like the eternal C+ student in the class... don't expect it to give you anything more than the norm.
The 21 Year Old Gran Reserva from Glenfiddich can be considered to be the top of the core range from this distillery. I tried it several times (even before it was renamed Gran Reserva), but will now try the new edition that is bottled at 43,2% ABV. The whisky got a finish on Cuban rum casks.
The nose is creamy and sweet on apples, pears and loads of honey. Hint of Fanta. Caramel and some demerara sugar (must be from the rum cask). I also get a nice trace of woodsmoke.
The arrival is a little less creamy, but punchy. The oak speaks first. Loads of spices like cinnamon and ginger, but also licquorice and a hint of pepper. Then the sweetness kicks in: sugared oranges, apple sauce and some pear syrup. The oranges turn slightly bitter Midpalate.
The finish is fairly long with a lot of bitter oranges, green herbs and oak.
Very fruity Glenfiddich, but a touch too bitter, which began softly on the nose, became bigger on the palate, but exploded in the finish, totally overpowering the sweetness.
Now here's another distillery that is owed a lot by single malt snobs all over the world. Thanks to Glenfiddich, and their enormous marketing budgets, the world has some idea of what single malts are.
This interest keeps the industry alive and allows nerds like me to savor the fruits (or should I say nectar?) of this labour of love.
Now I'm not saying Glenfiddich are only popular on the back of the marketing dollar (unlike other distilleries). No. In fact they are one of the only mass produced whiskies with a truly remarkable level of quality and craftsmanship. Their core range and recent experiments are all extremely competent.
Which brings me to this 21 Year Old Caribbean Rum Cask finish. Had at a tasting recently this is a wonderfully crafted expression. After spending close to 20 years in bourbon barrels it has been finished in rum casks from Sancti Spiritus in Cuba for period of 5 to 9 months.
The result is pure toffee.
Nose: Toffee. Lots of it. A lot of bananas, apricots and blood oranges. All smeared with toffee. Chocolate fudge cake with dates sealed in a box of Quality Street. Hint of salt with a touch of ginger.
Palate: Smooth and creamy delivery of dates and cherry liqueur. The ginger is back and it's grated on top of the toffee bananas. Finally black pepper on Quality Street with a hint of mint. This is a super robust delivery.
Finish: The woody chocolate peppers are long and true.
A fantastic dram that holds aloft the brightly burning torch that is Glenfiddich.
Introducing Glenfiddich would be somewhat silly, no? It is only one of the best known whiskies in the world. So let us get straight down to tasting this 21 Year Old. After maturing for over two decades on bourbon casks, it was finished for a period of 5 to 9 months on rum casks from Sancti Spiritus near the Sierra del Escambray in Cuba. You will pay a little over 100 EUR for a bottle. I tried the older version already, which was then replaced by the Gran Reserva, but by now is again simply labelled 21 Year Old. I scored this sample at the Whisky Festival in Ghent.
It sports a very sweet nose (hey, what did you expect?) with juicy fruit. Banana, pineapple, oranges, litchee, plums and apricots. Wow, this is very fruity. Hints of flowers, vanilla and cedar wood.
Very creamy and spicy (ginger, pepper, but also some cinnamon) with a lot of drying oak on the palate. Not too dry, though. Gingerbread. Oranges and pear. Banana again. Touch of leather. Some mint gives it a fresh touch.
On the finish, the oak does get a bit loud.
Despite the somewhat drying finish, this is better than the 2010 release that I tried before. The rum did its job, without being too prominent.
I was given a bottle last Christmas by my stepson and really enjoyed its deep fruity flavor through the winter. I'm still saving the last half for this winter, as he told me to "not knock it back". Really appreciate his thoughtfulness, as I know it wasn't cheap. Probably the best present I've had in a while, as I'm usually Santa, and not the receiver.
21 Years in a variety of casks (of-course most notably the last 4 months in ex-Caribbean Rum) has made the Gran Reserva by Glenfiddich an interesting and complicated whisky. The nose is elegant, blowing wafts of roast almonds, brown sugar toffee and mixed spice, with a firm backbone of sweet rum, while to taste there is a bitter flavour similar to pine-needles (the things I ate as a kid hey…) balanced by sweet over-ripe fruit and more mixed spice (cinnamon is definitely present). Not the longest finish around, but decent nonetheless.
Definitely worth a look if you are hunting for something different.
First vapor: Leather and cherry with clove.
Nose: Yes sugarcane, in a stewed mixture of pitted fruits (mostly plum) and vanilla. Plus orange rind and a light freshness like laundry with white fruit pulp.
Palate: Orange nutmeg and sweet vanilla, becoming a faint ginger powder on underripe pear pulp. Feels like a freshly sliced almond sitting on the tongue. Clean.
Finish: Short, of nutmeg and ginger, perhaps over white peach. A creamy sensation lingers.
This exhibits the lightness I've found in most of the Glenfiddich samples: Despite any dark packaging, most of the experience feels "white". What I find special about this, compared to e.g. the 14 and 19, is the silky smoothness. The 14 had bitterness in nose and finish, and sourness in the palate. The 19 also had these but less so. The 21 seems to have tempered these, perhaps sacrificing some flavor or character in the palate-- The result is just balanced levity. Out of the "light shades" of Scotch I have tried so far, this is the one I would most like to pull out on a warm summer evening.
The Glenfiddich 21 Year Old got an extra finish in rum casks from the Caribbean. So I expect a whole lot of sweetness. This is the older bottling, by the way. Glenfiddich recently relaunched this 21 Year Old as Gran Reserva.
Yep, the expectations of the nose are fulfilled. While rather closed, a bit of patience reveals a whole panoply of sweet aromas. Vanilla and sugar cane, immediately followed by dried fruits. Hints of plums and apricots. Something grassy. Strawberry jam. Dark chocolate. Some banana and even mango guarantee an exotic twist. Soft, but very inviting.
Unfortunately, the first sip is very watery. But after the initial and very sweet start on pears and oranges, it reveals a spiciness on ginger and pepper, that makes up for a lot. The rum influence becomes obvious. Demarara. Midpalate, I get more citrus, which lifts the malt and prevents the sweetness from going out of control.
The medium long finish on nuts and dried fruits dies on woodspice.
This whisky goes crescendo. It started off soft, but midpalate it opened up to reveal a big, grown-up Glenfiddich, that is not overpowered by the rum.
Havana Rum Barrel Finish, 21 year, thanks to ygtbsm94. Phenolic, estery nose with hot alcohol coming through. Taste is powerfully fruity, loads of black cherries and baked raspberry. Finish is very relaxed, smooth, no burning or alcohol heat. Hints of tropical complexities. Very delicious. Quite the treat. Thanks Brad!
Super-smooth and great depth and complexity.
Overall: I thought the rum would dominate but it dosen't. Its delicate and refined for a Glenfiddich. A great present to receive but for the hefty price tag there are better drams out there.
Nose: Rich , thick, a lot of the rum influence, with chocolate, rum,brown sugar.
Palate: Thick, and rich with chocolate, spice, quite buttery and mouth coating.
Finish :Long, coffee, cocoa, and milk chocolate.
A rich and very well made Rum finish. Not lacking complexity and very rewarding.
it was a very nice opportunity to sample a few Gfs, i had the 21 for the first time, and really liked it. If i had to pick one, I'd go with the 15 year old, which offers great value at ,£32 and a very sweet and delicious profile.
Glenfiddich may not be the sexiest brand around, but they do offer an interesting and a well made core line of whiskies.
I had a few glasses of this Glenfiddich over the Christmas break and what a treat. A lovely golden Whisky with an array of aromas from rich-chocolate orange to maple-Bourbon, long legs in the glass with just a touch of water, smooth and buttery on the palate with a mature citrus tang and light smoky and warming finish. Am looking forward to getting a bottle of this and making it last.
This was the third bottle opened today and I must say it was nice to change from a Blend (Chivas 12) to an Islay (Ardbeg 10) and finally onto a Speyside (The above bottle). 3 Distinct and different bottles, and all with something to say.
Well rounded and sweet chocolaty body with a hint of the Caribbean and some lovely fruity undertones.
Finishes off with an orange peel inkling and maintains the chocolaty flow. Warm and lingering.
Overall impression: Warm, soft, and well balanced dram highly complimented by the rum casks. an excellent choice in the Glenfiddich line although slightly on the high price tag side.
Yeah, this is a genuinely good whisky. Not sure it is worth it's price tag, but very nice with a lot going on.
The nose is quite rich - chocolate, toffee and hints of the smell I associate with a new leather couch.
The taste continues the chocolate and toffee, and adds a taste that reminds me of the smell of secondhand smoke from quality pipe tobacco. Very smooth and a little dry. I'm no expert, but this tastes very mature to me.
The finish is gentle, but nicely warm and quite long. Some more chocolate and hints of fruit.
Overall, this dram is gentle, easy and smooth, but very fulfilling. I'm not sure it's quite worth the price tag, but it's certainly not too far off. By far the best Glenfiddich I've tasted, and amongst the top double handful of everything I'v tried.

Q: C++ class that replaces itself? I have been writing a simple C++ class for drawing PPM images. I got to functions where I flip or rotate the image, or copy pixels from one place to another. It occured to me that one way I could do this would be to "replace" the instance from within itself, because rotation is giving me more trouble than I thought it would. My image class stores a pointer to an array of pixels on the heap, and has member variables for width and height. I can rotate the image by creating a new image instance where width and height are swapped, and the new instance's pixel array is filled in using data from the previous image's array ( applying the right rotation math of course ) However, instead of returning the new instance, I'd like the previous instance to reassign its "this" pointer to the new instance. That way, I could use the function like so: image.rotate(90) instead of image = image.rotate(90); I know that's a minor inconvenience, but it's inconsistent with how all the other functions are called.
Here is pseudocode for how I envision the rotation function working:
void image::rotate(int angle){ // 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees only
    // if image is rotated 90 or 270 degrees, swap width and height
    if(angle == 90 || angle == 270){
        image * new_image = new image(height, width);
    }else{
        image * new_image = new image(width, height);
    }

    for(int y = 0; y < height; y++){
        for(int x = 0; x < width; x++){
            // do rotation code here to copy pixel data to new image
        }
    }

    // assign the new image to this instance
    image * old_image = this;
    this = new_image;             // LVALUE REQUIRED AS LEFT OPERAND OF ASSIGNMENT
    delete old_image;

}

However, when I attempt this, I get compile error that says the this = new_image line is bad. I'm trying to find better ways to do the rotation that doesn't need to replace the instance, such as creating a new pixel array and redirecting the pointer, but for some reason swapping the width and height is interfering is the save function when I go to write the data to the file so I still have work to do there. This problem has me thinking about the general problem of an instance creating a new instance and replacing itself.

A: You cannot assign to this because it is constant. Because it is a special kind of pointer you cannot also declare it.
The type of the this pointer for a member function of a class type X, is X* const. If the member function is declared with the const qualifier, the type of the this pointer for that member function for class X, is const X* const.
You can assign to *this, so to the object pointed to by this pointer.
It seems like possible solution to your problem might be
*this = *new_image;

This of course assumes that operator= is defined for image.

Cardiomyopathy is the medical term for a weak heart muscle. With this diagnosis, it is important to find out what is causing it to begin treatment immediately.
People with cardiomyopathy seek medical attention because they are having trouble breathing, retaining fluid, exercising, extremely fatigued and cannot lie flat easily. Doctors perform an echocardiogram to determine if the heart muscle is weak. If it is, they start tests to determine the cause.
leaky, that forces the heart to work much harder.
Chemotherapy – Cancer treatments can weaken the heart muscle.
Uncontrolled blood pressure – Bad blood pressure forces the heart to work harder.
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. With coronary artery disease, the patient will need either a stent or coronary bypass surgery to open up the artery. If it's the valve, the patient will need a valve repair or replacement.
Nguyen recommends patients with cardiomyopathy undergo cardiac rehabilitation at the Saint Francis Medical Center Heart Hospital, where they also learn about nutrition and heart-healthy lifestyle changes they should make.

Top-tier New York-bred short yearlings find success in Book 1 at Keeneland January
Hip 478 (Keeneland Photo)
By Sarah Mace
A quartet of New York-bred short yearlings brought sale prices of $150,000 and up in Book 1 of the five-day Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale, which runs from Jan. 13-17. All four changed hands on the second of two sessions comprising the opening book. The topper was a $280,000 Candy Ride colt bred by Dr. Jerry Bilinski who was snapped up by team Clement for an undisclosed client to become the fourth top-priced yearling of the session.
The immediate family of the top-selling Candy Ride colt, who sold as Hip 478, is familiar. Out of Sweet Aloha (Western Cat), the colt is a half-brother to New York-bred multiple stakes winners Filibustin (Bustin Stones) and Indy's Lady (Take Charge Indy). Sweet Aloha, a winner in her own right, has produced four winners from four foals to start. The colt's third dam is a half-sister to champion 2-year-old Capote, multiple Grade 1 winner Exceller and four more stakes winners.
Foaled on April 6, 2019, the colt was consigned by Stuart Morris on behalf of Bilinski's Waldorf Farm. Signing the ticket was Miguel Clement, assistant to trainer Christophe Clement, his father. The younger Clement praised the yearling first as an individual in his own right. "I thought this was probably the best colt here in the sale, so it was a no-brainer for us. He's a very exciting horse and we're very lucky to get him. Hopefully he goes to the stable and Christophe will take it from there."
Clement then explained that the colt's New York-bred status made him worth the premium price-tag. "We bid more, without a doubt, because it was a New York-bred… As you know, the stable is very much into the New York-bred program. So, it's exciting and hopefully we can see him on the racecourse. We actually think (being a New York-bred) is very appealing. The New York-bred program is a great program. We strongly advise many of our owners if they breed, to make them (eligible), for our sake it makes it beneficial for them to be New York-breds. It's a great state-bred program."
Consigner Stuart Morris said, "The colt was very, very well received. He sold well past his reserve. I thought he could be in that price range but it's hard to get any horse into that price range in the market. He's a lovely colt. And he's in great hands with Christophe, but there were bidders all over the house on him; he was a very well-received colt."
Another pair of colts, one by Constitution and one by Mastery, also brought strong final bids on Tuesday.
Hip 405, a bay by Constitution bred by Questroyal Stable, Inc and Hidden Lake Farm, LLC, went to Empire Bloodstock from the consignment of Mulholland Springs, Agent XXI, for $175,000. Foaled on April 4, 2019, he was a $97,000 buyback as a weanling at the Fasig-Tipton fall mixed sale in Saratoga.
The colt's dam is multiple winner Personal Sunset (Belong to Me), who has produced two winners from two foals to race. She is a half-sister to stakes winner Dancingall Theway and full-sister to stake-placed Christies Treasure. The colt's second dam Roses at Sunset is a sister to Valid Wager, a multiple graded stakes winner and sire; this is also the family of Purge and Namaste's Wish. Questroyal Stable bought Personal Sunset a year ago a the Keeneland January sale for $22,000.
