Home News Chemist uproar ends in court
Chemist uproar ends in court
A CHEMIST was threatened by a man who didn't want to wait to get his prescription.
Daniel Sykes, of St Matthew Road in Dewsbury, became agitated after hearing that his medication wasn't ready. He then became verbally agressive towards Zoe Hudson, who worked at Davison Chemists on High Street, Westtown, on February 24.
Despite customers and children being in the shop, Prosecutor Vanessa Jones said Sykes "called Ms Hudson a f*****g cow and was warned to stop swearing. Then he said: 'I want my meds, I'll find out which is your f*****g car and I'll f*****g trash it'."
Sykes repeated the threat and was given his medication in an attempt to get him to leave, Kirklees Magistrates' Court heard. But he continued to shout and swear and police were called. Sykes pleaded guilty to using threatening words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Paul Blanchard, mitigating, admitted his client reacted badly and that he accepts that.
Magistrates gave Sykes a 12-month conditional discharge and he must pay a victim surcharge of £20.

Mr. Cranky
Andy Rooney, the scintillating, bluntly honest 60 Minutes commentator with the moderately cranky manner, has died "of complications following a minor surgery." He led a rich and storied and distinguished life, and 92 years is a long run by anyone's standard. Most people depart a few years earlier on average so Rooney was doing something right, or he had good genes or whatever.
But it's interesting, I think, that he died only 33 days after his final 60 Minutes commentary was broadcast.
For some people (like myself) work is the engine and the sustenance of life, and when that stops the body senses this absence — no more wood being thrown onto the fire — and it starts looking around for an excuse, any excuse, to shut down. Stanley Kubrick dying only a short while after finishing Eyes Wide Shut was another example of this syndrome. This is one of the reasons why the word "retirement" was banished from my vocabulary years ago.
My favorite Rooney commentary (which he was slammed for) was about the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain. "A lot of people would like to have the years left that he threw away," Rooney said. "What's all this nonsense about how terrible life is?" he asked, adding rhetorically to a young woman who had wept at the suicide, "I'd love to relieve the pain you're going through by switching my age for yours."

Q: Low Curie Point PTC Thermistor For a self regulating heater powered by a 12 V battery, I'm hoping to find a ~35 C Curie Point thermistor with a low "cold" resistance (for winter time, << 150 ohms). Most of these PTC thermistors are used for much higher temperatures and those I've found for my range have had higher resistance values than I've wanted.  Any help with the search would be appreciated, but what technology could I replace this with if I can't find an appropriate thermistor?
2-5 W is around what is needed.

A: Here's a 12 watt heater with a thermostat that you can adjust to get the temp you want:
Updated graphic:

RTH1 is an NTC thermistor with a resistance of 10k ohms at 25C, R7 is the heater; a 12 ohm resistor which'll  dissipate 12 watts with 12 volts across it, and R2 is the temperature control, which should be set to about the half-way point (5k) to start with.
Once connected to the 12 volt supply, R7 will start getting hot, and it'll heat up the space until the temperature increases to the point where the resistance of the thermistor decreases enough to cause the voltage on the inverting (-) input of U2 to become more positive than the voltage on U2's non-inverting input.
When that happens, U2's output will fall, turning OFF M1, which will allow R7 to cool.
As R7 cools, the resistance of RTH1 will increase, lowering the voltage on U2- until it falls below the voltage on U2+ , starting the cycle anew.
To adjust the temperature, measure it once it's stable and if it's too low increase R2's resistance.  If it's too high, lower the resistance.
You should use a power wirewound resistor for R7, and a couple of the types available are the vitreous enameled and the anodized aluminum housed, shown below.

I'm partial to the anodized ones because they're easy to mount to a heat spreader/heat sink and they can dissipate a lot of power for their size.  For example, the vitreous enameled one shown above is rated for 25 watts, while the housed one is rated for 50.

"Having It All": Hilary Apfelstadt on Music and Motherhood
The most-requested topics people ask me to speak about often fall under the category of work/life balance. Throughout my career, gender has seemingly been more important to others than to me. Maybe naively, I pursued a career in music and academia, while expecting to raise a family and find ways to "have it all." I did not make allowances for myself as a mother who worked; forty years ago, no one else did either!
When the children were small, my university students wanted to know how to balance raising them with working fulltime; younger academics wanted to know how to climb the tenure ladder with children in the picture. As I moved through the ranks, post-tenure, and the children got older, the questions continued. My graduate students wondered if and how they could be successful as conductors and music educators and have relationships and raise families, so they sought advice. As a senior faculty member, I moved into a mentorship role where mentees sought far more than musical guidance; indeed, they asked probing questions about finding their way in the profession, navigating academia, working with community ensemble boards, getting involved in professional organizations, making an impact as musicians while still having a personal life. Often, they would suggest that they were modeling after me.
There was no magic path, I told them, but hard work, perseverance and good fortune had been my companions. At the end of my doctoral degree, I was sharing with my mother worries about working fulltime with two young children: should I step out for a time and then come back? Or should I take the opportunity being offered to accept a full-time job with a newborn and a one year old? My mother said, "You did not earn a PhD to stay at home." Coming from a woman who gave up a potential career to be a minister's wife, that was strong advice. I felt a sense of relief to be honest; she was giving me permission to do both. From then on, I knew there would be no changing my mind – it was going to be a complex life, but it was a very rich one.
As Ruth Watson Henderson shared stories of her life as a mother and musician, raising four children and serving as professional pianist and composer, she inspired me. To complicate things further, she was married to a minister whose congregations expected her to take a visible role in the church, and she was often traveling for work or performing in the evenings or on weekends. Far from playing the role of the "minister's wife," attending events with her husband and being present in the church much of the time, she was an independent woman with an identity of her own. Her children knew her as a musician as well as their mother, and as adults, express their great pride in her. In her own right, she was a trail blazer.

Description of creative work. Please indicate date and place of exhibition; number of works; media; if relevant, title of exhibition; brief descriptive statement; and other relevant data. This is not the exhibition catalogue.
Abstract of research paper. The abstract forms part of the Summary, and simply states the problem or project addressed and a brief description of the method used in undertaking this project (a condensed summary or synopsis of the sequence and conclusions of the study).
A foreword is optional and is generally to be avoided. It may be a statement about personal aspects of candidate's project (i.e. why the candidate undertook it), about special assistance received, the context (social, political, etc) of the candidate's work or other matters. It ought to be brief, less than one page.
The following notes on the Introduction are adapted from Anderson, Durston and Poole, "Thesis and Assignment Writing":
"An introduction should be written with considerable care, with two major aims in view: introducing the problem in a suitable context, and stimulating the reader's interest. If introductions are dull, rambling, and lacking in precision, direction and specificity, there is little incentive for the reader to continue reading. An introduction may be chapter length and usually contains the following:
a complete and concise statement of the subject being investigated for the general purpose of the study;
a justification for the study, establishing the importance of the topic or material. It is appropriate at this juncture to indicate the limitations of the project and to define terms used in the study that have a special meaning or significance for the investigation;
a preview of the organisation of the rest of the paper to assist the reader in grasping the relationship between the various parts of the paper;
a clear indication of the methodology of the paper that is, whether it is a documentation of studio works, an essay, some combination of these, or some other. An introduction is usually written early, then completely rewritten after the main text has been finalised."
Main body of text
Because of the diversity of research topics occurring within separate disciplines, it is not possible to specify directions for organising the main body of a research paper or thesis. However, there are certain general principles, which should be followed:
organise the presentation of the documentation or findings in a logical and sequential way, developing the project aims stated in the introduction.
substantiate arguments or findings.
be accurate in documentation.
every effort should be made to write clearly and within a logical framework. This organisation may be assisted by a division of the material into chapters with headings and subheadings and a sequential organisation and development of material.
Examples and sequence of end papers
The following notes on the Conclusion are adapted from Anderson, Durston and Poole, "Thesis and Assignment Writing":
"The conclusion serves the important function of bringing together the whole report. In summary form, the developments of the previous chapters should be succinctly restated, important findings discussed and conclusions drawn from the whole study. In addition, the writer may list unanswered questions that have occurred in the course of the study and which require further research. The conclusion should leave the reader with the impression of completeness and of positive gain. As with the introduction, the conclusion usually forms a separate chapter."
These are placed at the foot of each page or each chapter; or as a group after the Conclusion as endnotes.
This may be divided into 'Books' and 'Periodicals' sections, or may be integrated.
Optional. Includes material (possibly by another author), which is of importance to the preceding text. Should be brief. Highly relevant material included here only because it cannot be integrated into the main text.
Optional. The candidate's professional resume may be included giving information on exhibitions, publications, collections, and awards in standard form. Should be brief.
A record of all images and other visual documentation materials as a typed list of works, presenting such information as the title, media and dimensions of work (height X width X depth)
Catalogue of work presented for examination.
Where possible include a full visual documentary record of the work presented for examination. If not all work presented in the exhibition cab be fully documented prior to submission of the examination copy, include images of work created during the candidature and process documentation of the work in the exhibition.
Final lodgement
After receiving notification that you may proceed to final lodgment, you must provide the University with a digital copy of the final, awarded version of your thesis. You will need to choose the appropriate level of access, and convert their thesis and any supporting files into the appropriate file format. The digital format for text is PDF. Formats for other thesis components (such as moving image files) will be outlined in guidelines.
The final copy of a research paper shall contain:
a full visual documentary record of the work presented for examination. This documentation should be included in the thesis as an appendix. All work presented in the exhibition should be fully documented, including images of the installation of each work, details of major works (as required) and several views of three-dimensional works. If the final exhibition included moving image of time-based components, video documentation must also be provided. In addition to the documentary record of work presented for examination, a candidate may also present other material generated in the course.
a catalogue of work presented for examination as a typed list of the works, presenting such information as the title, media and dimensions of work (height before width before depth). This should also be included in the thesis as an appendix.
The Student Guide for formatting your final thesis is available from the HDR Administration Centre.


Marriage Monday: Remember and Celebrate!
Will and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary two days ago. Since we are on vacation in Florida, the boys were with us for our anniversary dinner. And I think their presence added to the magic of the night. We went to a restaurant in Islamorada called Morada Bay. It is on the bayside of the island and sits on acres of sand — as pictured above. There was a live band playing Marley and other festive, beachy tunes. And even though it was the 29th of December, it was almost 80 degrees at five p.m. Kids who love the spotlight, like Sam, danced around. Sporty types like Will and Nate threw the football on the sandy perimeter. Will and I had drinks in the Adirondack chairs and watched the sky change colors as the sun went down. We waited for a table for over an hour, and this is the kind of place where you are thankful to wait. It would be a shame to rush.
When we did sit down, we were all ravenously hungry. We ordered lots of seafood: from conch chowder to conch fritters, from fresh mahi mahi to ceviche (which, for me, is the pinnacle of food). Everything was fabulous. Almost right when we sat down little Will, who is reliably thoughtful, started a great conversation.
Totally delightful night: celebrating and remembering.
After all, what is there to celebrate without remembering? People may go out tonight and mindlessly party it up, but without the intention to remember what they are thankful for, the celebration is empty. One of the overarching themes of the Bible is to remember — the word "remember" appears hundreds of times.
One verse says, "May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you" (Psalm 137:6). What a picture! Put your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Now try to talk. You can't. In other words, the Psalmist is saying if I don't remember you, Lord, may I never utter another word!
Think about how marriages would change, my own included, if we adopted this attitude about remembering. What if I was so intent on remembering Will's goodness that I would rather never speak again than to forget how good he's been to me? And we always have the option to be grateful. For example, Denver Moore, a homeless man had the practice of gratefully acknowledging, "I woke up!" each morning (Same Kind of Different As Me). Convicting. I will never be without something to be grateful for in my life and in my marriage. May the Lord help me to be grateful, and may I carve out time to celebrate.
So on this last day of 2012, I'm praying that God richly blesses you and your marriage in the New Year!
I rode with the three boys, all screaming happy screams, laughing and exhilarated. As we got off and walked to the exit, the big boys decided to get right back in line, and Sam was still grinning his unhinged grin over the experience.
"Do you want to go again?" I asked.
"No, thanks," Sam answered, still smiling.
Then we went over to Boating School, where you steer the boat along a little manmade river. Admiral Sam caused the biggest boating tie-up in the history of Legoland (pictured above), and was totally nonplussed about commanding his own ship.
On Christmas morning, we had to practically drag him out of bed.
In May of 2010 I had a graduation party for Will. Some friends brought their adorable daughter who, at that time, was about ten. She chased Sammy around the whole night. If you want a three-year-old to fall in love with you, chasing is the secret. Ever since that day, Sam has madly loved this girl. He smiles all over himself every time he lays eyes on her, which is often. When we opened their Christmas card this year, he was mesmerized by her picture. So I said something like, "Oh is she just one of your favorites, Sam?" And he answered, decidedly, "No, she is," pointing to the mom.
Whatever the conforming answer or action is, Sam ain't giving it to you!
I'm not sure what this means. What will his nonconformism look like in the years ahead? I hope it protects him from negative peer pressure, and helps him to be his own man.
After all, Jesus was a nonconformist too. He was totally impervious to the expectations of others. He came to love, to fulfill prophesy, to model for us how to live, and to die and pay the price for our sins. And best of all he came to defeat death. Praise God that Jesus has victory even over death.
No matter how Sam's nonconformism serves him in life, I am glad to know the ultimate nonconformist as Lord and Savior. I hope YOU know Him too.
Giving and getting a few gifts at Christmas is great, but it is my aim that gifts in my family be more and more experiential. Very few in America need more stuff and needy we are not. But keeping Christ in Christmas — honoring that Jesus is indeed the Reason for the Season — is not merely about downplaying commercialism, but savoring the coming of our Savior. And I never feel completely satisfied that I've made good on this annual intention. We attended some very sweet services — Lessons and Carols at school, a mini-Christmas concert by a brass quintet, and a lovely, traditional, organ-laden Christmas Eve service. We read the Christmas story from Luke 2 before the opening of any presents on Christmas Eve (a tradition from my Papa, Wayne Cummins). We listened to tons of traditional and contemporary Christmas music at home and in the car in the weeks leading up to Christmas. And we counted down the days on our Advent calendar.
Yet Christmas Day snuck up again before I felt like I have truly pondered the wonder of Jesus — the Creator of the Universe, the All-Knowing, Timeless Being that took on human flesh. Human flesh! In the form of a helpless little baby, born in a lowly manger. Even though he was sinless, loving and humble, he was mistreated, hated, ridiculed and killed. But as is always the case, God redeemed what was meant for ill. Satan is never the victor; he only thinks he is. In the end, Love always wins.
Jesus' death meant that His blessing, His redemptive work could flow "as far as the curse is found" (lyrics from Joy to the World by Isaac Watts). Far as the curse is found! Where is the curse found in your life? May the blessings of Jesus flow even there. Peace and Joy to you and yours this Christmas. In fact, Joy to the world, for the Lord has come.
Joseph's role in the Christmas story is sometimes downplayed, but if we stop to think about it, Joseph was a pretty incredible man. On this Marriage Monday, I'd like to look at Joseph as a husband.
Joseph and Mary were engaged and the Jewish people of the day took commitments seriously. In order to not follow through with the marriage, Joseph would need to divorce Mary. But when Joseph found out that his sweet, beloved little Mary was pregnant, he resolved to divorce her quietly, as not to humiliate her. What a contrast to today! An attitude of "getting what I deserve" and "I'll show her," which we would find totally normal today, seem to play no part in Joseph's response. His fiance was pregnant and he knew he wasn't the father! We'd certainly allow him a little righteous indignation. Even in the face of what he naturally perceived as betrayal, Joseph showed great concern and respect for Mary (See Matthew 1: 18-25).
Now you could argue that Joseph did get a rather personal message from the Lord! But let us not think that we would be more committed to our spouses (even in circumstances where we've been wronged or think we've been wronged) if the Lord sent us an angel. Because if you are married, then you promised before God to love your spouse till death do you part. I better not need an angel to remind me of my own promise.
None of us are going to face Joseph's challenge of marrying a pregnant virgin, or trying to be the leader of a household that includes God in human flesh. But we can still model Joseph's commitment and humility in our own marriages. We can adopt his loving heart and his lack of concern for self. A revolutionary idea! Imagine the impact: spouses everywhere who are committed, humble, loving and selfless.
Lord Jesus, help me each day to be like Joseph: committed, humble, loving, and selfless.
Not long ago Sam was on a kick, where compulsively, every night right before bed, we had to have the same exact eschatological conversation.
I've wondered where "this last day" came from. He is not highly skilled with units of time. When he is referring to "today" he says something akin to "a-day." Sometimes when he is referring to something we did yesterday, he'll say, "last year we…" One time after swim practice last summer (and they practice every day), Sam said goodbye to some friends by yelling, "See ya next year!" This cracked da brudders up. So sometimes it's hard to tell if Sam's misstatements are for comedic effect, or if he really doesn't know.
But "this last day" business has been a mystery. He has never heard of the Mayans or Nostradamus. But I believe I've sniffed out its derivation just this morning. The children's Bible that Will reads with the boys does end with a little chapter on Revelation. It is called "The New Jerusalem." And my guys did all finish a read-through a few months back. So the puzzle is coming together!
The chapter tells about John's vision of "the new heaven and the new earth" (John 21:1). It says, "At last God will live with men and they with him, and there shall be no more death or weeping nor pain" (21:4).
What an incredible promise. What a timely promise.
No more death. No more tears. No more pain.
Setting dates is nonsense, but believing on the promise is wisdom. May we take comfort in the fact that this horribly fallen world, will be set right!
There are some people who believe that Elton John's lyrics about Norma Jean are correct — that the candle that is our life simply goes out. But in all my experiences with death, I've never heard anything like that. No one has ever said to me, "Kristie, I'm sorry to hear Craig's candle went out." But part of me wonders why not. Why do people say things like "He's in a better place," if candle-snuffing is more their belief system?
I have two theories about why people do this. First, people are terribly uncomfortable with death. And that's interesting because death happens all the time, and it's going to happen to you, to me, and to every single person we know. The summer between my second and third year of law school I worked at a DC firm. Then after I graduated, I joined that firm. The problem was that I wasn't really the same person as I had been as a summer associate, because in that third year my dad died of a heart attack on a plane coming to see me. So that first day of being a real associate, they took me out to lunch. One fellow attorney asked with enthusiasm, "So how was your third year?" Since it was undeniably the worst year of my life, it was hard to come up with any kind of a pat answer. So I told him it was a hard year, that my dad had died. The attorney fumbled a few awkward words and never spoke to me again. But he is far from alone in his inability to grapple with death.
My husband is a critical care physician. He does less and less bedside medicine, but for years a large part of his job would be to talk with families about "end of life" issues. He was good at this because he would be honest with people, and even doctors have a very hard time doing this. They witness death in the ICU on a regular basis, but they still live in denial. I'm confident that Will's compassion and willingness to be forthright were a comfort to many.
But there is a second reason people say nebulous things like, "he's in a better place," even when they are more aligned with candle-snuffing than Jesus. My theory is that they just don't think. They don't let their minds go there. I read recently somewhere (and unfortunately I don't remember where) that freedom to think is our first freedom. I've been pondering that. You have the freedom to not think about death. You can walk away when someone is hurting. You can avoid hard conversations. You can even go outside and watch stars fall from the heaven, and choose not to be awed, not to let the wonder of God's creation shake you. You can just not think about it, but we are what we think. So if you never go deep, if you never let yourself really grapple with life's enormous questions, you get stuck on "a better place," and nebulous, meaningless candle-snuffing.
But what happens if we use our freedom to think? What happens if we spend time really grappling with where we came from, why we are here, what explains evil, why we long for love and forgiveness and justice? We find that the best answers to all our deepest questions are found in Jesus.
But His promise is not of a nebulous "better place," it's eternity with Him. This life isn't all there is. This is not the end. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me" (Matthew 19:14). None of those precious little children from Sandy Hook Elementary were old enough to reject God, but you probably are. I hope you acknowledge the longings of your heart, that you are willing to do the heavy mental lifting of searching for answers that make sense, and I hope in the end you are willing to accept the simple answer that Jesus gives.
He said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
On Friday during lunch, I was volunteering at school, oblivious to the horrific, unfathomable news in Connecticut. It wasn't until later that afternoon that I saw the headline on my phone. It took my breath away, as I'm sure it did yours. I cannot imagine how much it would hurt to lose a child, and to such evil, such senseless violence. On Saturday when I woke up, I thought about how hard it was for those parents who, if they slept at all, were waking up for the first time to their new reality. No, it wasn't a bad dream. Their darling, beloved little one was truly gone. I'm praying for the families. May they know the special measure of grace God offers to those who suffer.
And I'm praying for their marriages as well. Grief can be isolating; it often takes a long, long time before the dense fog lifts at all. May these mothers and fathers cling to one another in their grief. May they somehow be ministers of God's peace and comfort to each other in these dark days, where heartache is not merely an expression but a physical reality.
The Psalmist wrote that God "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (147:3). He didn't write that it would be instantaneous. It won't be. He didn't write that the scar won't be visible. It will be.
May I be faithful in praying for these families, these marriages, these brokenhearted people in the months and years to come.

L'advocació de la Mare de Déu o advocació mariana és, en el cristianisme, un títol afegit al nom de Verge que posa en relleu alguna prerrogativa o circumstància important o n'indica un lloc geogràfic amb el qual té relació. Dit d'una altra manera, és una al·lusió mística relativa a aparicions, dons o atributs de la Mare de Déu. L'Església Catòlica reconeix innombrables advocacions que signifiquen la figura de la mare de Jesús o alguna de les seves qualitats, a les quals es ret culte de diverses maneres.

Les advocacions es poden dividir en dos tipus: les de caràcter místic, relatives a dons, misteris, actes sobrenaturals o fenòmens taumatúrgics de la Mare de Déu, com l'Anunciació, l'Assumpció, la Presentació, etc; i les aparicions terrenals (a vegades associades amb escultures, és a dir, "marededéus trobades"), i que en molts casos han donat lloc a la construcció de santuaris dedicats a la Mare de Déu, com el de Lorda a França, el de Fàtima a Portugal, el de Guadalupe a Mèxic, etc, o monestirs o abadies com el de Montserrat a Catalunya. Aquestes advocacions sovint donen lloc a molts patrocinis (com a Verge protectora) de pobles, ciutats o països.

Les advocacions marianes se solen anomenar amb les fórmules "Santa Maria de", "Verge de", "Nostra Senyora de", "Mare de Déu de", etc. Així doncs, les advocacions també donen lloc en molts casos a noms propis femenins, compostos del nom Maria i la seva advocació: Maria Carme, Maria Dolors, Maria de Lourdes... Encara que el nom sigui diferent quant a l'atribut relatiu a la Verge Maria, sempre es refereix únicament a Ella, així es faci menció de diversos noms en un mateix moment, la instància en qualsevol cas és sempre la Verge Maria, Mare de Jesús.

La seva celebració, en la majoria dels casos, es fa de forma conjunta el dia 8 de setembre o el primer diumenge de setembre, el dia en què l'Església celebra les "Aparicions de la Santíssima Verge en els més cèlebres santuaris".

DIY Disco Molam
06/06/19Bangkok's Zudrangma Records Releases Exceptional Compilation Of Khaen Sang Rarities
Say what?! We were instantly captivated by the sounds of this new compilation on Bangkok's Zudrangma Records, once again expertly put together by Chris Menist and Nattapon Siangsukon, aka Maft Sai, of Paradise Bangkok fame. "DIY Disco Molam" presents an exceptional collection of catchy experimental molam tunes by Thai producer Soonthorn Chairatanachot, "previously only released as a short run of 45s on his private label Khaen Sang and featuring only members of his family."
Instantly intrigued by his music, Chris Menist and Maft Sai decided to pick their favourites and put them back into circulation with another stunning record (make sure you also check out their recently released "Suphanburi Soul" compilation): "The sparse production style immediately marked it out from other molam we had unearthed through hours of searching. [...] The records felt so ahead of their time, though whether this was intentional or not is hard to pinpoint."
Soonthorn Chairatanachot was born in 1938 in Sarakham, a town in the north-eastern district of Isan. Both his paernets were famous molam singers and he was trained from a young age, while also learning to play the khaen mouth organ. His talent showed early on and he began to perform publicly at age twelve. During his military service in 1957 he performed on a military radio station and thereby became known "to an even wider audience."
After a brief stint as a monk, "he joined Sun Thirat Pirom, one of Thailand's longest running music collectives," and continued to hone his skills. "Whilst he had a huge following as a live musician he'd never released any music, and through a friend, who had a recording studio and a tape echo, he embarked on what would ultimately be his only recordings, using family members on instrument and vocal duties. It is here that an unanswered mystery begins - no one is sure when the recordings were made, or what inspired their unique sound."
Soonthorn Chairatanachot passed away in 2004, but his musical legacy remains and sounds as modern as ever. You can stream/buy the full "DIY Disco Molam" release on the Zudrangma Records Bandcamp page and we strongly advise you do.

En offermose er i arkæologisk betydning en mose, hvor der i forhistorisk tid blev lagt gaver til guderne. Måske som tak for en sejr. Genstandene blev ødelagt symbolsk og ofret i mosen (eller søen).
Over hele Europa har det været almindeligt at ofre til guderne ved at kaste genstande i moser eller søer, der senere er blevet til moser. Det formodes at være sejrherren, som har ofret krigsbyttet fra fjenden i form af mennesker, dyr, våben, både og andet udstyr.

Offermoser er kendt i Skandinavien, Tyskland, Holland, Storbritannien og Irland. Fundstederne i Nordvest- og Nordeuropa har forbindelse til de germanske kulturer, men enkelte har forbindelse til den yngre jernalder. Den arkæologiske betegnelse for disse pladser skyldes, at de fundne genstande vidner om en bevidst offerhandling.

Ofringerne var for de germanske stammer en måde til at få kontakt med guderne. Igennem det grundliggende princip blev der ved siden af offergaverne fundet snittede pæle, som formodentlig forestiller de germanske guder. Der er fundet mange genstande fra dagligkulturen som kunsthåndværk og madrester. Der er nedlagt hele dyr eller dele af dem, og de kan være spist som en del af offerhandlingen.

Ofre som våben og rustningsdele som hjelme blev som regel først ødelagt og delvis forsynet med korte runeindskrifter. Da byttegodset åbenbart bevidst er blevet nedlagt i mosen, blev det formodentlig ofret for at takke guderne for en vundet sejr eller for at fejre den. Det er kun få af de ca. 500 moselig, som kan betegnes som menneskeofringer. Det var almindeligt at sænke krigsfanger og slaver i moserne.

For arkæologien er de mange velbevarede mosefund en vigtig informationskilde. Da de fleste af offermoserne har været i brug over et længere tidsrum, er det relativt let at tidsbestemme objekterne efter deres placering i lagene.

Kendte offermoser

Hjortspring Mose

Hjortspring Mose ligger ved Hjortspringkobbel på øen Als. De fundne objekter er fra 350 f.Kr. (Før-romersk jernalder).

Betydelige dele af Hjortspringbåden og af våbnene blev optaget ved tørvegravning omkring 1880, uden at det dengang kom til arkæologernes kendskab. I 1921-22 blev der gennemført en totalundersøgelse af den lille mose på ca. 45 x 50 m, beliggende 42 m over havet og 3–4 km fra kysten. Der blev fundet store mængder af våben af jern og ben samt skjolde og andet udstyr af træ. I 1922 koncentreredes arbejdet om båden, der var stærkt beskadiget ved tørvegravning, men hvoraf der dog var bevaret betydelige partier over en længde på ca. 14 m med dele af begge stævne, orienteret nord-syd. Udgravningen afsluttedes i september 1922.

Fundet er udstillet på Nationalmuseet i København, hvor de skrøbelige fragmenter af båden er monteret på et metalstativ, som viser den slanke båds oprindelige form.

Nydam mose

Nydam Mose på 12 hektar ved Øster Sottrup nordvest for Sønderborg, var oprindelig den inderste del af en vig ud til Als Sund. Mosen har rummet og stadig indeholder mange oldsager fra store våbenofringer i jernalderen. Der er fundet tre både, men kun Nydambåden er bevaret, mange våben og flere andre genstande. Offersøen, hvor genstandene blev ofret, havde et vandspejl på ca. 4 m og en dybde på 1 – 1,5 m. Mange af genstandene blev som en symbolsk handling bevidst ødelagt ved ofringen og bærer mærker af hug, stød og stik med skarpe våben. Hesteskeletterne er groft mishandlede.

De fleste af fundene findes i dag på arkæologisk museum på Gottorp Slot i Slesvig by samt på Nationalmuseet i København. Desuden er der genstande i Flensborg Kunstindustrimuseum, Berlin, Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Frankrig) og på Moesgård i Århus. Nydambåden er i dag opstillet på Gottorp Slot.
Der er en parkeringsplads og et info-hus ved Nydamvej. Herfra er der ca. 10 minutters gang ud ad Nydamstien ind til Nydamselskabets lille hvide hus, Nydamhuset, som ligger ud for fundområdet for oldsagerne.

Illerup Ådal

Illerup Ådal mellem Stilling og Skanderborg er kendt for fund af store mængder våben, der i jernalderen blev ofret i den sø, der dengang dækkede 10 hektar. De første fund afdækkedes under dræningsarbejde i 1950, og området blev udgravet i 1950'erne og igen i 1975-1985. Der er fundet mere end 15.000 genstande; det er først og fremmest våben og personligt udstyr fra forskellige perioder af jernalderen.

Offermoser og den norrøne mytologi

Stenalder-, bronzealder- og jernaldersamfundene ofrede genstande, dyr og mennesker i søer og moser efter de kultiske og rituelle krav som mytologien og folketroen i disse samfund satte til det rigtige fremfærd i forskellige situationer. Hvilken slags mytologi som rådede i sten- og bronzealderen, kan vi i dag ikke tyde ud fra andre kilder end de arkæologiske fund, og meget kan være hypotetisk. Den norrøne mytologi, som vi kender fra digtsamlingen den Ældre Edda, Snorri Sturlusons Edda og andre middelalderskrifter, kan kun give nogenlunde pålidelige oplysninger når det gælder jernalderen. Men mellem den tidsperiode hvor de store krigsbytteofringer fandt sted i de danske indsøer og moser i ældre jernalder, og den tid da den nordiske førkristne mytologi blev nedskrevet i middelalderen i den form den fik gennem overleveringer i afskrift af afskrift i forskellige versioner gennem flere hundrede år, og meget kan have ændret sig i den lange tidsperiode. Desuden er der sandsynligvis gjort ændringer og tilpasninger i disse middelalderfremstillinger for at harmonisere hele den hedenske fortids mytologi, kult og samfundsordning til den kristne tro på at ingen anden guddom end den kristne Gud var verdens skaber og alt det som var i den.

The first time I watched Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" I didn't get it, it took a gap of several years before I found it entertaining. And I have to say having only watched "Corpse Bride" the once I just don't get it, or at least see why so many rate it so highly. Yes it's clever, amusing in a quirky sort of way and different to so many other movies but it just didn't entertain me as much as I had hoped and expected.
Along time ago in an old Victorian Village, Victor Van Dort is betrothed to Victoria Everglot because the Van Dort's are wealthy and the Everglot's are edging towards being poor. But during the wedding rehearsal Victor messes up his lines and leaves in humiliation where upon walking home through an old graveyard finds himself reciting his lines in the hope of getting them right. The trouble is in doing so he accidentally wakens the dead and marries a corpse bride. With Victoria waiting on the surface and Victor dragged down into the world of dead he must try and sort things out before Victoria gets palmed off on a rich newcomer.
It would be fair to say that with "Corpse Bride" you get exactly what you expect from Tim Burton. He takes us into this strange world of stop motion animation, weird characters and a very strange storyline. But it is also a remarkably simple storyline, a romance where we watch Victor accidentally marrying a corpse and taken into the peculiar world of the dead whilst his true love on the surface finds herself being palmed off with another suitor. But the simple storyline works because it makes "Corpse Bride" very easy to follow but keeps you a little unsure whether there will be a happy ever after ending.
What is the selling point to "Corpse Bride" is Tim Burton's wonder imagination. We get the strange storyline of a young man accidentally marrying a corpse, the weird inhabitants of the underworld, in fact the weird creations on the surface as well and the olde style storyline of marriage dowry's and a well to do society where people get married into wealth instead of love. It's all wonderfully vivid and the stop motion creatures as well as the wonderful backdrops are spectacular.
But the thing is it didn't wow me, it didn't make me sit up and think that "Corpse Bride" was special. Yes the imaginative land and people are special but the storyline didn't really keep me interested. And where as I loved the rhyming songs in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" this time around, those musical numbers failed to really capture my attention and within the hour of watching "Corpse Bride" I had forgotten them.
The same issue about being unmemorable comes from the various actors voicing the wonderful creations. Yes the list of stars who lent their voices is impressive and the likes of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter create wonderful voices but you don't remember them. So despite have the likes of Emily Watson, Tracey Ullman, Paul Whitehouse, Albert Finney, Christopher Lee and well to be honest the list goes on, you don't remember them once the movie is over.
What this all boils down to is that "Corpse Bride" is very much what you expect from Tim Burton, it is strange and visually impressive. But for some strange reason it struggled to entertain me with the simple storyline and to be frank I found it for the most quite forgettable. Yes the characters sort of stayed with me, but there was nothing special no amazing scene which really impressed.

The WV Mining Disaster That Killed Hundreds of Italian Men and Boys
Oct 27, 2021 487

As Italian Heritage Month approached this year, I began to think about the events in our nation's history that played a seminal role in shaping both my identity as an Italian American and my understanding of Italian American history:
In elementary school it was the Great Arrival, the period during which millions of our ancestors came to the United States. Images of early Italian enclaves and immigrant ships stirred powerful emotions within me, foreshadowing what would become my vocation.

NIH-funded study discovers gene involved in male infertility
Mutation in a single gene appears to account for a form of male infertility in which men fail to produce sperm, according to an international study funded in part by the National Institutes of Health. Males with the condition, known as non-obstructive azoospermia, fail to produce any sperm, even though they do not have any obstruction in the ducts through which sperm are released. The gene, PNLDC1, codes for an enzyme that processes a class of non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNA) so they can function. These non-coding RNAs are not involved in making proteins but are believed to be involved in various functions that occur during spermatogenesis — the process by which cells in the testes produce sperm cells. The findings may provide insight into how sperm is produced and may one day lead to information helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia. Similarly, greater understanding of the gene's function may contribute to the development of new methods of male contraception.
The study was conducted by an international team of researchers and appears in The New England Journal of Medicine. Funding from NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) was provided to two authors' institutions, the University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City (Kenneth I. Aston, Ph.D.) and Oregon Health and Science University, Portland (Donald F. Conrad, Ph.D.).
In the search for the genetic foundations of the condition, the researchers sequenced the exomes — protein coding regions of the genome — of 924 men with non-obstructive azoospermia. They found that four of the men had mutations in the PNLDC1 gene. Analysis of testicular tissue from the men showed that spermatagonia (sperm producing cells) failed to complete meiotic cell division and develop sperm cells. The authors theorized that other genes coding for enzymes involved in processing non-coding RNAs also might be involved in infertility due to azoospermia.

Phobias are probably the most difficult behavioural disorders to solve. Often, the most we can do is try to handle them in the best way possible and reduce their consequences.
The fear felt by the animal relates to stimuli that do not involve real dangers, but nevertheless, if the stimulus persists, fear becomes more and more intense, even causing very extreme and harmful reactions for the animal and its environment. The dog may suffer greatly for something that will not hurt it, but it does not know this.
The most common phobias in dogs are in response to loud sounds (thunder, fireworks, gunshots, sirens), persons, foreign objects, children, and, in general, anything the dog has not been exposed to when it was a puppy. Other less common phobias are related to some odours (like the smell of veterinary centres) or people who use special mechanisms to move: bicycles, wheelchairs, crutches, etc.
One of the causes of phobias to loud noises can be the great hearing ability of dogs, which can make some sound stimuli more unpleasant for them than for us and they can even be painful. Another cause may be that the dog associates a stimulus with some type of trauma experienced when it was a very small puppy.
Phobia symptoms are very characteristic and easy to identify but may vary from one dog to another. They range from the desperate search for a safe place to hide inside the house to scratching the door to try to run from it or seeking contact with the owner. We will also observe that the animal experiences intense shaking, howling, whining, pants, urinates or defecates and may even throw up in extreme cases.
The procedure that is usually most successful in alleviating the effects of phobias is to undergo behavioural therapy, but it involves a lot of patience, time and perseverance. It consists of two different patterns of training: desensitisation and counter-conditioning.
Desensitisation consists of accustoming the dog to the stimulus, exposing it to it slowly and progressively increasing the time or the intensity of the stimulus gradually, thus allowing the dog to assimilate it.
Counter-conditioning consists of teaching it a different behaviour to the one the dog shows in the problematic situation, such as fleeing or hiding. Therefore, in a relaxing situation and by using rewards, we teach the dog the exercise of sitting still, for example, and we then practice this exercise after playing a recording of thunder, rewarding the dog for performing the exercise correctly. This way, when the dog hears thunder or another annoying sound, we can get it to listen to us when we say "still".
In conclusion, it is very important to detect strange behaviours on the part of our canine companions in response to certain stimuli to try to alleviate them and improve their quality of life.

An Evening with Andrea Ramolo
www.andrearamolo.com/
November 7, 2018 marked the second anniversary of Leonard Cohen's death, and the passage of time has only added to the significance of his words and music. Cohen's legacy will be celebrated that day with the release of Andrea Ramolo's Homage, a 10-song collection of some of Cohen's best-loved works interpreted by the acclaimed Toronto singer/songwriter and produced by Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies.
Although—like virtually all songwriters—Ramolo has long been a passionate Cohen devotee, the idea to make Homage developed gradually in the wake of a stunning rendition of "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" she performed with The Wooden Sky's Gavin Gardiner at a Last Waltz tribute concert staged in Montreal days after Cohen's passing. Ramolo made the song a staple of her live repertoire from then on, and seemingly constant requests for a recording of her rendition eventually expanded to what ultimately became Homage.
Ramolo turned to Timmins—who also produced her 2017 Polaris Prize long-listed NUDA—to oversee the recording, which features Ramolo on baritone guitar and vocals, Tom Juhas on lead guitar, Derek Giberson on keyboards, David Goncalves Gouveia on drums, and special guest Sahra Featherstone on harp. In all, Homage has been a true labour of love for Ramolo, underscored by it being a fully independent release.
In addition to being a lifelong Cohen fan, Andrea had worked briefly alongside Leonard's son Adam for a show with him and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, during which she had the honour of staying in the Cohen family home in Montreal. It all inspired her process of selecting the songs for the album. "I spent two months listening in depth to every single album of Leonard's from top to bottom. I wasn't as leery about ruling out the famous songs as I was about making sure I didn't repeat the same 'colours.' I included my personal favourites, like 'Famous Blue Raincoat' and 'Suzanne,' but I wanted to make sure the others I chose were a mix of newer and older songs to best represent his massive catalogue."
It has been said that Cohen's songs truly take flight when sung by others, and that argument can certainly be made with Homage. The blending of Ramolo's mesmerizing vocals within delicate musical settings creates a haunting atmosphere unique to other Cohen tributes. Like Timmins' own revered work with Cowboy Junkies, restraint is the key to the overall sound, offering stunning beauty and brooding tension in equal measure.
"Homage was the first time I've gone this deep into someone else's material, so that presented a challenge in itself because you want to ensure that you are honouring the original artist while at the same time making the songs your own" Ramolo says. "I tried to focus on aspects of the songs that spoke to me, while also infusing my own life and character into them. As a female artist, there was something exciting about covering songs by a very powerful, iconic man, especially when time-travelling through the older tunes. During the process I often wondered if Leonard had been a woman, would the world still have come to know the songs in the same way?"
Indeed, part of Cohen's poetic genius has always been a celebration of female empowerment, and Andrea admits she wore a pantsuit on Homage's throwback-inspired cover to symbolize this. At the same time Ramolo didn't shy away from some of his later, more politically charged songs such as "The Future" and "Everybody Knows." Ramolo explains that she wanted to include a message that speaks to our times, beyond the themes of love and all that surrounds it.
"I chose 'The Future' specifically because of its apocalyptic theme and how it expresses the complete loss of our private lives, private spaces, and structure. Our modern world thrives on invasiveness and public approval. It proves that Cohen was prophetic in this regard, foreshadowing the world as we now know it back in the '90s. I love how raw and crass it is at certain points—I'm pretty sure I'd never write a song with the words 'anal sex' in it—but there is something in interpreting someone else's songs that gifts you with this extra sense of freedom and boldness."
Ramolo, in fact, captured a lot of that spirit on NUDA, so in some ways Homage is a natural progression. Longtime fans of Ramolo will also acknowledge that she has given all she has to her work since she first began performing and recording in her early twenties. After spending over three years from 2008 to 2011 living in a van and touring all parts of Canada in support of her first two solo albums, Ramolo teamed up with Cindy Doire to form the duo Scarlett Jane whose two albums released under Warner Music Canada were hailed by critics coast to coast and recognized with multiple Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Ramolo was also nominated for a CFMA award on her own in 2011.
Following that, Ramolo contributed to projects by Lee Harvey Osmond (where she crossed paths with Timmins), leading to the creation of NUDA, which she describes now as a "huge growth spurt, both spiritually and artistically." But above all, she says the experience of making that album instilled a sense of confidence and willingness to experiment that she had never felt before, and Homage stands as an important next step in her journey.

Dr Webb talked about my Diabetes and ordered blood test and follow up in one month. For some reason my blood pressure was elevated during this visit and that is not normal. He increased the dose of Lisinopril which was prescribed for kidney function not high blood pressure. Dr Webb did not seem to care or have time to discuss anything else. My main concern was the sudden onset of peripheral edema which has me concerned about Kidney Failure or Congestive Heart Failure. I mentioned I was concerned about that and he did not care. I have many other medical issues that he did not want to talk about during this visit. It appeared he did not care or believe what I was saying.
Competent, kind and friendly doctor.

Well the next return may become both telephonic interview, personal interview or any various other depending upon you're able to send verification method. Personal Interview PreparationsPersonal interview is the primary step up the screening course. Prospects will need to be in proper apparel to create a very good impression in the interviewer.

Following my interview at the bulge bracket bank and going through some of my own personal mistakes, I have decided to become very serious about changing and improving myself. I have grown too comfortable and complacent with myself as always and that is not very impressive. I used to think that I will be an impressive candidate for any bulge bracket banks but my interview experience has proved otherwise. For one, I did not even knew the industry that I was covering very well. I am clueless about the specific industry that I am studying and choosing to put this experience into my resume though got me the interview, has ruined the first impression that I could have otherwise built had I been more prepared. Moreover, now that I think about it, I was actually very stupid in the sense that I bid the director farewell by back facing him. There is clearly some big behavioral mistakes that I am making, not very wise for someone who is planning to get into one of the most competitive division in the banking sector.
My realization has led to an epiphany within myself. I have to study up on the oil and gas sector. I need to know the in and the out of the oil and gas sector. From the biggest oil firm in the world to the different markets in the world, I have to research and understand everything including the major players, oil refining process, oil exploration and production requirements and more.
I will also need to know everything about all the publicly listed firms in the Singapore Stock Exchange and their respective counter codes, their revenues. I am going to use one month after my exams to make sure that when I return to school, I will be a completely different man. I will become someone who is able to relate to any oil and gas professional, even if the professional is an engineer. I will be able to talk to them about some of the latest development in this sector. This is what I am going to strive to become. My resume as of now is ready to get me some interviews, all that is left is to continue building up on my own personal attributes such that eventually, I will be able to impress, and maybe become the next Rockefeller. Ok thats a joke but yea, I will be posting more oil and gas related news as well here. I will also be finishing up the forex tutorials hopefully by next month as well. I am going to churn out articles like a human robot. This starts now.
I will end off this post with a quote by George Bernard Shaw: "Youth is often wasted on the young."


I never understood the whole thing with fathers not being able to give their daughters a kiss in public. That always been super ridiculous to me. I think one reason is there so much media on what a predator is supposed to "look like" and people are just hyper aware nowadays.

Quick! Install that Mac printer now!
Does your friend or significant other have a Mac from work that is locked down so that changes can't be made? Any attempt to make a chance in System Preferences asks for the admin password, which you don't have. Maybe they are a teacher at a school with overly-zealous sysadmins? Maybe they work at an insurance company that... just kidding, no insurance company supports Macs.
Someone Who Isn't Me knows someone that has a Mac laptop and can't print to the home printers for exactly this reason. To print at home, they generate a PDF, copy the file to a USB stick, and walk it over to another computer that can print. That is ludicrous.
Now is your chance to fix this.
In macOS High Sierra, anyone can login as "root" with empty password. When asked for the admin username and password enter "root" as the user, then leave the password blank. Two this a second time and you'll unlock admin access.
Now is your chance to install that printer, change the screen saver settings, enable Time Machine, or whatever you have been wanting to do.
Apple will surely fix this soon. You probably only have hours or days to install all the printers and VPNs and other things you've been meaning to fix.
Oh, but don't break any laws or company policies. Certainly don't create an account with admin privs, or give the primary user admin privs. That is probably against policy and could lead to productivity.
Ryn Daniels has written an excellent piece about time management and productivity when you are burned out. The advice is spot on. I also do these things when I'm not feeling my best too.
"It's one thing to talk about productivity when you're already feeling motivated and productive, but how do you get things done when it's hard to even make it through the day?"

Anti-scam website saved by MEP
Politician walks walk, doesn't talk talk
By John Oates 25 Jan 2006 at 15:53
A Member of the European Parliament, Richard Corbett, has stepped in to save the anti-scam website www.stopecg.org - which was forced offline by legal threats to its service provider.
Server Centre, and its upstream supplier RapidSwitch, decided to pull the website after a flurry of legal notices from Birmingham solicitors Wragge & Co.
But Richard Corbett, Labour MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, is prepared to host the site for as long as necessary. Corbett has campaigned against Novachannel and European City Guides - both named on stopecg.org - for several years after complaints from his constituents.
A spokesman for Corbett, who's hard at work in the European Parliament today, said: "Richard has campaigned for three years against these kind of scammers and the website is a useful resource for people in Yorkshire. He has mirrored the site for the last two days and is happy to do so for as long as necessary." The spokesman said he thought it was less likely that lawyers would try and target an MEP.
Wragge and Co represent Novachannel AG - a Swiss-based company which is under investigation by Swiss authorities. The London Swiss embassy website mentions Novachannel on a page called "Unfair practices via Switzerland". The page advises companies on how to cancel contracts with the firm and says it is collecting evidence for an ongoing investigation by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
The SECO website, here. here, explains how NovaChannel operates: "Several Swiss companies exercise dubious business practices relating to business directory entries from bases in Switzerland. The forms in question usually give the impression that the entry is free. In actual fact, by completing and signing the form the persons concerned are concluding a contract running for several years."
UK businesses believe they are updating their contact details for a free directory rather than signing a contract to pay for as long as three years. The website - www.stopecg.org - has been running since 2001. The original campaign was against directory firm European City Guides but now covers several similar scams.
Many thanks to several Reg readers who offered to host the site.®
