Five years ago, Antoinette Nausikaä decided she wanted to observe mountains. In the middle of her frantic urban life she developed a need for stillness and solitude, and she was convinced that mountains were the place to go.
Soon however, she discovered that 'pure' silence and solitude were nowhere to be found. Looking for the timeless spirit of the mountains, she found fleeting traces of human existence everywhere.
She lived and worked on and around eight ancient mountains in Europe and Asia, each one of them a sacred icon and a pilgrimage destination. She travelled to Mount Fuji (JP), Olympus (GR), Ararat (TR) and the five most sacred mountains in China, the Wǔyuè. She observed them, climbed them, photographed, made drawings and dug in the earth for clay to make small sculptures.
And so, almost casually, her quest developed into an investigation and presentation of one of the most pressing philosophical themes of this moment: the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene, as interpreted by many authoritative contemporary philosophers, deals with the idea that man and nature are fundamentally separated. An idea that is a typical product of nineteenth-century Romanticism, but is now considered to be out-of-dates. After all, our human presence is omnipresent, visible even in the geographical layers of the Earth.

Do Addicts Really Think Differently Than Everyone Else?
By Ruth Fowler 07/01/11
Let's face it. Many of us process life differently than so-called "normies." But luckily, we have tools to combat the insanity we live with on a daily basis.
Road warrior: How to fight the garbled thinking drives us Photo via
"I have my own climate—things can seem okay on the outside but inside I've got black clouds hanging low in my sky, and my soul has fallen through my ass," says William, a 63 year-old with 30 years of sobriety who lives in Venice Beach. He's talking about "alcoholic thinking," that nebulous dark cloud, insidious nagging voice and negative mental groove that can lead us back to the booze. The general accepted philosophy is that if you're feeling "restless, irritable and discontent," chances are a little alcoholic thinking is creeping back in. But how are you supposed to distinguish AT from the blues? For "ladybug little," posting on an anonymous recovery forum, alcoholic thinking is: "The feeling that something terrible was going to happen. I didn't know what...but I knew it would be awful and I just had to drink because I couldn't handle it…Anything that was even remotely good in my life, my head managed to turn into some omen of calamities to come." "If only I had a boyfriend, my life would be perfect," the thinking may go. Or: "If only I had more money, I wouldn't be unhappy." And then there's: "If only I had a drink, life would be bearable."
AT is the conviction that something is about to go horribly wrong or that we need external validation to fill a hole deep inside and that in the event that our own impossible demands are not met, we must drink to fill the hole. "If only I had a boyfriend, my life would be perfect," the thinking may go. Or: "If only I had more money, I wouldn't be unhappy." And then there's: "If only I had a drink, life would be bearable." Which all leads to: "I don't have these things and that's evidence that the world is pitted against me. I called my sponsor to complain, but he didn't call back. It's because he—like the world, like God, like the universe— is against me. This is the worst day of my entire existence on this planet! Everyone hates me! I can't stop thinking about my sponsor. Asshole. I want him to die! I also want that person who cut in front of me to die as well, not to mention that kid who nearly walked in front of my car just now even though the lights were green. Shit, he has Downs. There's the universe again, trying to make me feel like a cunt! What did I do? I don't deserve any of this. I'm a victim. It's not enough that I have a job, enough food to eat, a car, a home, family, friends. I NEED MORE!"
In a sense, AT is like being a dry drunk, a condition that has been described as "returning to one's old alcoholic thinking and behavior without actually having taken a drink." If you consider alcoholism is a threefold disease—a disease of the spirit, the mind, and the body—AT is the mental part of it: the complete self-centeredness of our ego-driven negative thinking which we seek to placate or calm with alcohol and drugs. Alcoholics don't have a monopoly on the blues, on feeling "restless, irritable and discontent," or even being grumpy. What seems to distinguish an alcoholic from a regular person is that these feelings are often multiplied by a hundred/thousand/million (depending on the alcoholic in discussion) and that they're often accompanied by a conviction that what's happening now will never end; "I will always feel this way and I can't handle feeling this way" can often equal "Drinking or using is the only escape." Add to that an allergy to drinking or drugs—that is, the fact that we don't have an off button once a substance is put in our system—and you see the issue.
So how do we combat AT? It's often said that following the 12 Steps of AA is basically like embarking upon a course of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Our dysfunctional thinking and mental behavioral patterns are directly addressed in the 12 steps, in much the same way that a CBT therapist might gently highlight negative thinking in a therapy session. "My CBT therapist suggested when I say things like, 'I really needed a drink,' I should stop and rephrase it as something more accurate like, 'I really wanted a drink,'" says James, a 47 year-old alcoholic attending CBT counseling alongside AA meetings. "It reminds me a lot of AA." A prayer, for example, is a simple, effective method of setting a positive intention to counteract a negative AT pattern. Those who find thar prayer isn't for them can do this by simply reciting an affirmative sentence like, "Today I am going to stay calm and not pay any attention to my 'monkey mind.' I am going to practice love and forgiveness, instead of anger and suspicion, to the best of my ability." By pledging to replace obsessive, negative traits with spiritual opposites, we're training our minds to stay alert, to recognize AT, and to calmly take what AA-ers term "contrary action": Feeling lazy? Get your ass to a meeting. Hating the world? Help a newcomer. Sick of your meetings? Take a commitment. This is the method in much of AA's madness.
But when we're alone, trapped in what William termed his "inner climate," reluctant to leave the house, mired in isolation—when we're hating it and simultaneously convinced that nothing will make a difference—what do we do then? Pray, or "set an intention" for willingness, my sponsor always used to say. "White knuckle it" is what I usually did instead. But as I started to work the steps, what began to happen was that I'd discover ways to treat the AT and isolation even before it started so it never developed into the full blown craziness we all know so well.
Many, of course, believe that only a Higher Power outside ourselves can relieve the insanity of alcoholic thinking. Opponents point out that a belief in a Higher Power suggests that the alcoholic has no personal responsibility for their recovery: you're a failure but for the grace of God. But speak to many in AA, and they'll deny this outright. "I'd love it if believing in God made me less responsible for being a jerk-off," laughs William. "But I don't think my sponsor sees it that way." William does pray, and finds it helps to combat the bouts of AT which occur occasionally (in early sobriety, he had "an ass-kicking sponsor" for when he failed to self-motivate). Sarah, a 32-year-old yoga teacher who's been sober for two years, does not believe in prayer or God but still works the program in her way. "Here's how I interpret the 12 steps," she says. "I couldn't get sober on my own without everyone in my meetings and my recovery world. They're my Higher Power. I looked to them to show me what I couldn't see in myself. They're imperfect, they fuck up, they're not gods in any sense of the word. But when I think I can't do this anymore and I have to drink, I call my sponsor; knowing that she hasn't picked up for 10 years gives me faith that I can resist, too."

San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli, right, goes up for a basket as Denver Nuggets forward Mason Plumlee defends in the first half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, April 3, 2019, in Denver.
WASHINGTON - The Spurs' poor long-range shooting performance in their 113-85 loss to Denver on Wednesday was no surprise to LaMarcus Aldridge.
The Spurs, who lead the league in 3-point field goal percentage (39.3), missed 22 of 27 from distance (18.5 percent), with Derrick White, Rudy Gay, Marco Belinelli and Davis Bertans combining for an 0-for-14 showing.
"We had wide-open threes," Aldridge said. "But it's been a season of woes on the road for us shooting the three, and tonight wasn't any different. We had great looks, the ball moved. I tried to find guys. DeMar (DeRozan) tried to find guys. The ball just didn't go in."
The Spurs are shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc at home and 36.5 percent on the road. They will try to rebound tonight against the Wizards.
The Spurs are 45-34 overall and 14-25 on the road. The Wizards are 32-47 overall but 22-17 at home.
Having grown up in nearby Baltimore, Gay always enjoys playing in Washington. But this season's game will be different, he said.
"This is an important one, so I don't think I will have time to enjoy much," he said. "It's all about business and trying to get these wins."
The Spurs could be forced to play without Belinelli, who is questionable with a sore left hip.

Fitness training for Muslim women in Cologne
Emine Aydemir is a devout Muslim woman, living in Cologne. She runs a fitness studio for Muslim women — no men are allowed. The women can train with or without a veil. There are no men around so their husbands generally have no objections to them going there. It's a welcome change of pace from domestic life and many say it's helped boost their confidence. But Aydemir says she doesn't want to run a ghetto: courses are given in German and women can attend whether they are Muslims or not.

French-Algerian writer opposes separate classes for immigrants in Italian schools
Renowned French-Algerian writer Malika Mokeddem has stated that she opposes the Italian government's move to introduce separate classes for immigrant children, saying that it would ghettoize them, and "gives the children a bad self-image" in addition to sending a negative image of Italy. Mokkedem said that the children need to integrate, and do so not by separating – but by urging children to "jump in the deep end and (start) socializing." Mokeddem was in the southern Italian town of Otranto to receive the 2008 Grinzane Terra D'Otranto prize for literature.

Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan calls for 'revolution of trust'
Canada is more tolerant of immigrants than Europe and less afraid of terrorist attacks than the United States, meaning it could be a model for faithful Muslims trying to integrate into Western society, a controversial Islamic scholar says. Tariq Ramadan has two reservations: Canada must stop thinking of itself as peripheral to the debate and it must not knuckle under to U.S. policies. Ramadan spoke to CanWest News Service from his office in London, England, just before leaving for Ottawa, where he will speak to the Islamic Society of North America conference this weekend. About 3,000 Muslims from across Canada and around the world are expected at the event. Ramadan will be speaking with Ingrid Mattson, the first female and first Canadian to become president of the society. The worst thing the Muslim community can do, he says, is isolate itself from the society around it, making itself a ghetto. "We are living in a state of fear, on both sides. You need to promote what I call a revolution of trust." Public policy gets warped by this mistrust until "it's all about control and security. It's wrong. (Muslims) are citizens, they have the same rights." He said the community needs to pool its leaders in all faiths and walks of life, so co-operation is already established before a crisis erupts.

Poll reveals Muslims as model citizens
Contrary to popular stereotypes, Muslims in London have almost twice as much confidence in the Government as the general public and are noticeably more trusting of the judicial system, elections and the police. More than half identify very strongly with Britain, and about four in every five believe that it is important for integration to master the English language, get a better education and find a job. The findings, to be revealed tomorrow, are the result of an independent survey of Muslim attitudes by the Gallup Organisation, and point to a much more hopeful outlook for integration than recent reports of extremism, alienation and a ghetto mentality have suggested.

As a 'flexitarian' I can enjoy the smugness of vegetarianism while still eating meat
By Nikki Hollis
MY NAME'S Nikki and I'm a flexitarian. 'What's that?' I hear you cry, already overwhelmed by how fascinating I am.
Well, it's some made-up bullshit that allows me to eat loads of succulent animal flesh whilst still claiming the moral high ground.
By chucking around phrases like 'fluid approach to eating' and 'sustainable lifestyle' I can bamboozle people into thinking that I'm pretty much Buddha, but hotter and more deep, while holding a burger.
Being a flexitarian allows me to say I eat a 'plant-based' diet, which sounds like I'm a vegetarian when actually the plants I eat are usually lying limply by the side of a massive oozing steak or squashed under a fat slice of yummy, greasy bacon.
It also enables me to give long, sanctimonious lectures to carnivores about how they're killing the planet by eating so much meat and still get a KFC bucket on my way home.
It has been pointed out to me that the term 'flexitarian' is meaningless. But it's a science name, like 'wellness', 'yogic' or 'trans-dimensional sexual energy vortex'. Einstein probably described himself as a flexitarian.
Flexitarianism has boosted my health even more than when I gave up drugs apart from doing coke every other weekend. It turns out you can have your double bacon cheeseburger and eat it! But also not eat it because it's bad. Or something.
Budget to tackle vital issue of slightly cheaper rail travel for 25-to-30-year-olds
THE Conservatives have jumped eight points in the polls after tackling the crucial issue of 25-to-30-year-olds' daytime train fares.
Theresa May lost her majority in June after failing to address the injustice faced by voters aged between 25 and 30 paying up to a third more for off-peak travel than under-25s.
But the shock move in today's budget means that a 28-year-old travelling from Bournemouth to Warwick could save as £14.30 after the initial £30 railcard cost, condemned by Labour as an "outright electoral bribe".
Joanna Kramer, aged 27, said: "I think we just saw an entire generation turn blue.
"This initiative could save me literally a hundred pounds a year, if it's a year when I have a lot of weekday weddings that I can't get lifts to. And that makes tuition fees, the housing crisis, Brexit, rampant inflation, and austerity irrelevant.
"Imagine, saving £11.73 on a return from Didcot Parkway to Bristol Temple Meads. Ker-fucking-ching."


Free parking can be found at Ditchling Beacon, The Upper Lodges and dotted in and around Stanmer Park. At the beacon you have great views across low weald and east towards Lewes whilst you enjoy a Mr Whippy or you have the delicious home-made food and snacks at the quaint and biker friendly Stanmer Tea Rooms down in the Hamlet.
If you are visiting Brighton to do this ride, why not make a day or weekend of it and enjoy the Bohemian sea-side town by train! By train you can warm up from Brighton station via the road or change trains and head for Falmer which drops you off pretty much outside Stanmer Park. As the title suggests this is all about enjoying the South Downs views and the singletrack of Stanmer all within the city limits of one of Britain's most vibrant cities.


Earlier this week I was listed in an article featuring four people you should know. If you want the scoop, it's HERE. But it made me think of all the other people you should know besides me, because let's face it...I'm better in small doses. I can't even stand MYSELF half the time.
So here are the people I think you should know and the reasons why, if I felt like writing them.
This is Nikola Tesla when he was 37 years old. Besides inventing practically EVERYTHING, he's just delightful to look at. Sure he was batshit crazy but he was idiotically smart too, and there's nothing sexier. The fact that he was an avowed virgin just makes me want to travel back in time and break his scientific spirit.
He never patented anything he invented so you probably fancy that other people (like that hipster doofus Edison) invented all the cool stuff. But it was Tesla. And this is why I think you should know him, but not in the Biblical sense. That's just for me.
This is Henrietta Lacks. She's so important to you and you don't even know it. I mean so important it's almost obscene. Her cells have been at the root of nearly all the decent medicine that has been created since Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin...and you should probably know about him too but I'm talking about Henrietta right now. Because no one talked about her for a lot of years and that's super, super wrong. Her cancer cells won't die. They were taken from her without her consent during a surgery and have been used for research ever since. Ever wonder how big pharma got to be so big? Henrietta's cervical cells, that's how.
If you have a baby made via in vitro, thank Henrietta. If you don't have polio, thank Henrietta. In fact, thanks to the 20 tons of cells that her initial cells grew, there are probably a great many ailments you get to live without. So say thanks to Henrietta, okay? And then read a little bit about her and her miraculous HeLa cells.
FINE. Alexander Fleming. He discovered the thing that makes it stop burning when you pee. That's all I'm saying about him.
This is Jane Goodall and I love her so much I can't even tell you. She does everything cool, and awesome and she's so smart and so fantastic and so funny. And she loves animals and she thinks we can save the planet and be good people and .... I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH.
Her work with the chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania is incredible. Her outlook on the world, the way we eat, the way we treat one another and the way it should be going forward is just over the top perfect. Do I have a lady crush here? Yes. Yes I do. She is someone you should know.
And this is Louis C.K. He's hilarious. Despite his Hungarian last name and obvious Irish good looks, he's actually a Mexican American. If you need more than that to decide you want to Youtube everything you can on this guy, then go read a different blog.
So here they are: five people. That's it. That's all I feel like telling you about, plus if you've been around here for a while you understand that when making lists I like a rule of five. Happy Friday from North America!
That's a strong list and I should steal your idea to kickstart my dormant blog.
You should totally do it. Stealing is the highest form of flattery. That's scientific fact.

Ian Paisley, firebrand N. Ireland Protestant leader turned peacemaker, dies
Peter Kenny | Friday, September 12 2014
(Photo: REUTERS / Paul Faith / Pool / Files (NORTHERN IRELAND)File photograph shows Northern Ireland's new first minister Ian Paisley (L) and deputy first minister Martin McGuinness smiling after being sworn in at a ceremony at Stormont, Belfast May 8, 2007. Hardline Protestant cleric and Northern Ireland's former leader Ian Paisley has died, his Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) said on September 12, 2014.
Once hardline Protestant leader, Rev. Ian Paisley, who later in his life opted for an alliance with bitter Catholic rivals helping to bring Northern Ireland peace, died Friday at the age of 88, his family said.

"My beloved husband, Ian, entered his eternal rest this morning," a statement announcing his death from wife Eileen said.
"Although ours is the grand hope of reunion, naturally as a family we are heartbroken. We loved him and he adored us, and our earthly lives are forever changed.
"According to Ian's wishes his funeral will be private and attended only by the immediate family, as will be his burial."
Paisley was born on 6 April 1926, and from 1971 to 2008 he was the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party which seeks to remain part of the United Kingdom and not join with its southern neighbor, the Republic of Ireland.
Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the north-east of the island of Ireland.
For many years Northern Ireland's Protestant and Ireland communities were involved in a bloody conflict with one another.
FREE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Paisley was the founding member of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster. which he belonged to for 57 years.
For many years Paisley was bitterly opposed to making any concessions to the Roman Catholic minority, many of whom favor closer ties with the Irish Republic or even having a united Ireland.
But he made concessions in negotiations and was elected as the First Minister of Northern Ireland alongside former Provisional Irish Republic Army leader and Sinn Féin member Martin McGuinness as deputy First Minister on May 8, 2007.
The two former foes forged a good working relationship and eventually became good friends.
McGuinness paid tribute to Paisley with the following tweet:
"Very sad to learn that Ian Paisley has died. My deepest sympathy to his wife Eileen & family. Once political opponents - I have lost a friend."
McGuinness told RTE, Ireland's national broadcaster, "I think we confounded the world by him, a pro-British, pro-Unionist politician, being able to work in a positive spirit with myself, an Irish Republican.
"A friendship grew out of that, and it's a friendship that lasted to this very day."
Paisley's family did say what caused his death, but he had suffered from heart trouble.
In office, he and McGuinness forged an unlikely friendship.
"Many a man has gone to his grave sticking to his line and never changing. But Ian Paisley did, he held out the arm of friendship," former Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern, who helped negotiate the 1998 deal, told RTE.
"But he paid a huge price for it politically... he did not get the support of a huge amount of people that had been close to him for 40 or 50 years," Ahern added.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who presided over the Good Friday Agreement the deal that clinched peace, said Paisley had been an "uncompromising, even intransigent" opponent.
However he ultimately knew when to compromise.
"Ian was a man of deep convictions. The convictions never changed. But his appreciation of the possibilities of peace, gradually and with much soul searching, did," said Tony Blair.
"He began as the militant. He ended as the peace-maker."

To add to his already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has made her way back to town. This girl might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy trying to destroy the Point but he can't walk away because he needs her—in more ways than one.
i cant pick love them all!!!!


The Batinah Expressway is open for traffic!
A section of the Batinah Expressway has been opened today by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The section starts from Al Aqeer/Al Wajajah road intersections, until the end of the road in Khatmat Milahah in Shinas, reaching a distance of 18 kilometres.
Another 45 kilometres are expected to be opened soon, between Barka/Nakhl intersections, reaching all the way to Al Hazzem in Al Rustaq.
The new Expressway will have 65 box culverts to reduce the risk of flooding during the rainy months; there will also be truck weighing stations, signage, concrete barriers and side fences all along the highway as safety precautions.
In total, more than 80km of the Batinah Expressway out of 272km has been opened for drivers.


← Finally got a run in, w00t!
Wow, it is SO foggy outside – yesterday as well as today! You step out into it and it feels like you've been rained on within 2 minutes. Plus it's a bit hard to see where you're going & all. LOL Anyway – I'm waiting for the sun to come up so I can see a bit better in the fog for my run today. I plan on a 3 miler again today. I'm debating whether I'm going to take Leonardo or not… I'm kind of leaning towards not, actually.
So. I dropped a couple stitches in that freaking scarf. It laddered down too ugly to save. *sigh* Luckily, I only had 6 rows done that I had to rip back. I'm just about caught back up to where I was – this go round actually went much faster than the first pass through. I didn't get to work on it at all last night, as the youngest manlet & I worked on the home computer instead.
It's actually a Tooth Fairy Pillow - you put a pocket in back for the $$ - free pattern!
I just LOVE the googly eyes on these! :D psst - the pattern is free!
Felted backpack - it's really very cute! And the pattern is free, too!
I am really impressed with how many FOs on this pattern state "My first socks!" - this pattern couldn't have been an easy one for someone's first socks! oh, yeah - it's another free one,.
Who would've thought to search for tooth in ravelry of all places???

Opponents of fracking have established a camp near Third Energy's fracking site at Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire.
The action follows the rejection by the High Court yesterday of a legal challenge to the granting of planning permission for fracking in the village by North Yorkshire County Council. DrillOrDrop report
Ian Crane, one of the camp's residents, told BBC Radio York opponents were using land owned by Flamingo Land, the theme park which had previously objected to Third Energy's plans.
Mr Crane, the presenter of the online show Fracking Nightmare and a former oil executive, said the camp did not have the "express permission" of Flamingo Land. He said:
"We are here to support the local community and raise awareness of what this industry will lead to if it is able to get a foothold."

He said there were about a dozen people at the camp this morning and the numbers were expected to increase "fairly significantly" over the next few days. So far, residents have come from places as far apart as Surrey, Cheshire and Lincolnshire.
In a Facebook post, Mr Crane said:
"The Kirby Misperton Protection Camp looks forward to working with the local Community in their quest to protect North Yorkshire from the abomination of Unconventional Gas exploitation."

Another resident, Steven Peers, from Cheshire, was asked by BBC News how long he would stay:
"As long as there's a threat of fracking to Kirby Misperton, this tiny little village, we'll be here. We envisage a few months until the licence expires and then we'll pack up and go."
This afternoon, Sue Gough, a member of the local campaign group, Frack Free Kirby Misperton, said:
"The camp is up and running but there is still lots to do.
"One of the most important things at the moment is to have as many local people as possible on site throughout each day and we would urge as many of you to come down and say hello.
"The occasional home cooked meal is always gratefully received as well. These wonderful protectors are here to stop fracking taking place and have lots of advice about how we can do it.
"So let's show Third Energy that they have not won, we said no and we mean it."
Third Energy's chief executive, Rasik Valand, said after yesterday judgement that the company had an obligation to prove that it could carry out fracking in a safe, discreet and environmentally sensitive way.
"We are confident that we will prove to the local community that their elected representatives were right to grant this permission."
It's not known when Third Energy will start work at Kirby Misperton. The company is continuing to negotiate with North Yorkshire County Council over conditions of the planning permission that must be met before fracking can begin.
A council spokesperson said agreements associated with seven conditions have been approved. Agreements on another two were currently being consulted on and another seven conditions remained outstanding. Decisions are made by council officers under delegated powers.
Also last night, anti-fracking campaigners held a demonstration outside the offices of Ryedale District Council in Malton, where the planning committee was meeting to discuss a new minerals plan for the area.

martin collyer says:
Energy needs can confuse easily. The simple fact is that the vast majority of new houses around me are being built with gas central heating. They may have some solar panels as well but the heating system is gas. I have one son in the building trade and another who was an estate agent.
Great to see low carbon energy stats. in the press yesterday, but they only stack up with nuclear-and very expensive new nuclear at that. And they largely ignore the issue of domestic heating, because they simply do not produce gas.
My own property is insulated to the gills, double glassed, air sourced heat pump supplemented etc. BUT my gas bill was double when my elderly father lived with us and yet such factors seem to be ignored and are masked by the nonsense of "energy efficiency". Greens will say social care can be funded by the rich but forget their mobility, and when the tax take drops will borrow more for my sons to pay back.
I know you feel that the north sea is our answer, and it has been. However, I would suggest Ineos are not economically illiterate and have already found fracked gas from US is worth investing huge money in ships to transport to compete not only from Grangemouth, but also Norway! (See that deluded Jim, who has acquired a few licences in England, has just invested in a conservation project in Iceland.)
I accept you point about current players, and it is quite amusing to hear references to "Big Oil"! I would suspect the larger players are waiting for particular developments and will become more active then. It has frequently been the case with development of such resources and the indications of that are there already. That is, if we research and not assume.
Done my brussels. Off to fill my condiments with a terribly poisonous chemical now-ban it and be damned, perhaps (that I also use to kill the dandelions on my lawn.) Then to pay the £400 bill for the tree surgeons who had to deal with the die back on my oak tree caused by that same toxic material the council spread on the road below. Bit more global warming, and that could save me £400-but then, I suspect the German green economy will destroy that hope via the VW emissions. Answer probably is just to fell the tree, but then we run out of oxygen.
Science, facts and assumptions can be very confusing, can't they.
But then we can have electric cars!
Back to the top of this section-try Googling cobalt (big use in electric cars). You will find some pretty rubbish (but better than the fracking reference) "science" that says it can cause cancer, so that when added as an essential trace element to animal feed it needs a skull and cross-bone symbol. So, you feel it necessary for animal health to supply an essential trace element to their feed, but will probably get sued for huge sums if one of your workers develops cancer many years hence, because bad "science" can still be Googled.
Equally, best source of lithium for Europe is probably found in Finland. Tough for the reindeers.
Better to convert diesel cars to gas, perhaps!
Phil C says:
With a small modification to a standard combustion engine you can run it on water, even salt water.
This was discovered by several innovators in the last hundred years. They either died very soon after and their inventions disappeared, or their invention was confiscated by the military. The one thing that cannot be tolerated is development of non fossil fuel energy. No pollution, no special chemicals or heavy metals, nothing but water vapour in the exhaust. Most engines even as they are and running on petrol or diesel can be made 400% more efficient with almost no exhaust, but these innovations are also squashed as they upset the fossil fuel monopoly.
Look it up, don't take my word for it.
PhilC-surely not suggested we use salt water, are you? Don't you realise how toxic this material is?
Oh dear, do i have to take you back to school? Yeah? OK then, salt water is so toxic that countless trillions of creatures live in it. 80% of your body is salt water, we carry our own oceans with us, our biggest problem when we became amphibious, was osmosis, that is why our skin and cell structure only allow water to pass in one direction. Simple physics, try living without salt water. Lesson over, go and stand in the dumb corner.
PhilC-suggest you chat to a few survivors of being shipwrecked. They will quickly tell you what killed their colleagues. Salt, like most chloride containing compounds is toxic to humans at relatively low levels of consumption. It is the level of intake, and the internal balance that is critical. Many compounds can be consumed by humans at a certain level and may be beneficial but are toxic beyond that. Try vodka.
Why do you think thousands of tonnes of more expensive sodium bicarbonate are utilised in animal feed to replace cheaper sodium chloride? Sodium+potassium-chloride: acid base balance, Pierre Mongin. I am sure you Google fanatics can manage that one.
Why should you break ranks and actually come up with science that is correct?
Dear dear, you are off on one aren't you? The point, my dear chapgetting back to the original subject, is that you can modify any internal combustion engine to run on water. You could, at a pinch, or in an emergency, run it on salt water, you would have to flush the entire fuel system afterwards, but it will do for a while. You have totally ignored that and gone off on your usual irrelevant tangent. It would not be advisable to drink the contents of the tank however, any more than you would drink the contents of a diesel or petrol tank, a far more toxic fluid somewhat terminal and frankly insane exercise!
As for toxicity look at Masuru Emoto's books on water and the necessary water/salt balance that is essential to life. You can immerse yourself in salt water for days on end, but lack of fresh water to drink slowly reduces the bodies natural anti-osmotic defenses and you begin to get salt absorption which leaches out fresh water from your organs and cellular structure. Shipwreck survivors die of exposure, hypothermia, drought and starvation long before salt dehydration, its the lack of fresh water, not the presence of salt water, that kills.
But that is just diversion on your part isn't it? What you will not discuss is that the internal combustion engine can, with modification, be run on water. Like always, I say look it up, don't take my word for it, and don't go on and on about salt water, that is just a diversion on your part.
James Jacknife says:
… Internal combustion engine… run on water… I do hope you are JOKING… I mean… REALLY?!? You just believe everything you read with no knowledge of real life I assume? Internal combustion engine can be run on HYDROGEN, that through Electrolysis can be extracted from H2O… but at a 30% efficiency rating… combined with the engines ~40%… you get a net energy of 12% of what you put into the water to extract the Hydrogen… NOT a very good return… (most batteries are 60-80% efficient just saying)
So, do you believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet? Just because Google comes up with an article about Alien lizards that wear human skin and are controlling the world to make it ready for the invasion of zombie Hitler… does NOT mean that it is true…

Uncertainty still surrounds the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depression. We aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and elevated depressive symptoms in a general Japanese population.
This is a cross-sectional survey of 3,113 community-dwelling individuals aged 40 years or over. MetS was defined according to the joint interim statement. MetS was diagnosed when a subject had three or more of the following components: 1) central obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm for men, ≥80 cm in for women); 2) elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg or current use of antihypertensive medication); 3) hypertriglyceridemia (≥1.7 mmol/L); 4) low HDL cholesterol (< 1.0 mmol/L for men, < 1.3 mmol/L for women); and 5) elevated fasting plasma glucose (≥5.55 mmol/L or current use of antidiabetic medication). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The age- and multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using a logistic regression model.
Elevated depressive symptoms were observed in 4.3% of male and 6.3% of female participants. In men, the age-adjusted prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms was significantly higher in subjects with MetS than in those without (7.1% versus 3.6%, p = 0.04). The prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms rose progressively as the number of MetS components increased (3.5%, 3.6%, 5.8%, and 9.2% in male subjects with 0–1, 2, 3, and ≥4 components, respectively; p = 0.02 for trend). This association remained significant even after adjustment for age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise. In women, on the other hand, there was no clear association between MetS and depressive symptoms.
MetS was associated with elevated depressive symptoms in a general population of Japanese men.
Depression is an important cause of long-term disability and dependency and is responsible for 11.8% of years-lived-with-disability [1, 2]. Effective prevention of the burdens associated with depression will require a strategy based on better knowledge of its risk factors. Recently, a systematic review of observational studies demonstrated a link between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depressive symptoms [3]. However, current knowledge of the association between MetS and depressive symptoms was derived mainly from studies conducted in Western populations; so it is unclear to what extent these findings apply to Asian populations. The present cross-sectional study evaluates the association of MetS with depressive symptoms in a general population of Japanese.
Study population and design
The Hisayama Study is a prospective cohort study of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases in a suburban community, the town of Hisayama, adjacent to of the city of Fukuoka, Japan [4–6]. Based on data from the national census, the age and occupational distributions in Hisayama have been almost identical to those in Japan as a whole since the 1960s [4]. As a part of this study, all 4330 residents of the town of Hisayama aged 40 years or older were invited to participate in a cross-sectional examination in 2007 and 2008. Among them, 3,376 residents consented to participate (participation rate 78.0%). After the exclusion of 263 subjects with missing data on depression or MetS, a total of 3,113 subjects were included in the present analysis.
Information on current use of antihypertensive and antidiabetic medications was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and confirmed using the consumer drug information by trained staff. Blood pressure was measured three times after the subject had rested for at least 5 minutes prior to each measurement using a semiautomatic device (BP-203 RVIIIB; Omron Healthcare) based on the cuff-oscillometric principle with the subject in the sitting position. The mean of the three measurements was used for the analysis. Waist circumference was measured at the umbilical level in a standing position by a trained staff member. Blood samples were collected from an antecubital vein after an overnight fast for the determination of serum lipids and plasma glucose levels. Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations were determined enzymatically. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured by the glucose oxidase method. MetS was defined based on the joint interim statement of the International Diabetes Federation Task Force on Epidemiology and Prevention; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; American Heart Association; World Heart Federation; International Atherosclerosis Society; and International Association for the Study of Obesity [7]. MetS was diagnosed when a subject had three or more of the following components: 1) central obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm for men, ≥80 cm for women); 2) elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg or current use of antihypertensive medication); 3) hypertriglyceridemia (≥1.7 mmol/L); 4) low HDL cholesterol (< 1.0 mmol/L for men, < 1.3 mmol/L for women); and 5) elevated fasting plasma glucose (≥5.55 mmol/L or current use of antidiabetic medication).
Other covariates
Each participant completed a self-administered questionnaire covering marital status, medical history, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and exercise. The questionnaire was checked by trained interviewers. Marital status was classified as either having a spouse on a family register or not (e.g. single, divorced). A history of cardiovascular disease was defined as prior stroke (ICD10 codes I60, I61, I63 and I64) or coronary heart disease (I20 – I25) with or without coronary revascularization (coronary intervention or bypass surgery). A smoking habit was defined as current habitual smoking of 1 or more cigarettes per day. Alcohol intake was defined as current habitual drinking of at least once per month. Subjects who engaged in sports or other forms of exercise ≥3 times a week during their leisure time made up a regular exercise group.
Elevated depressive symptoms
Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Japanese, 20-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) [8, 9], the reliability of which has been validated [10]. Elevated depressive symptoms were defined as a CES-D score of ≥16 or current use of antidepressant medication defined based on the self-administered questionnaire and the consumer drug information.
In the present analysis, the key risk factor was MetS and its components, and the outcome was elevated depressive symptoms. All analyses were conducted separately for men and women. The prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms in each subgroup defined by MetS or its components was standardized for age distribution of the total study subjects by the direct method using 10-year age groupings. The association between components of Mets and elevated depressive symptoms was evaluated using an age-adjusted logistic regression model. The association of Mets and the number of its components with elevated depressive symptoms was evaluated using age- and multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. The multivariable-adjusted models included age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise as covariates. The differences in the association of MetS and the number of its components with elevated depressive symptoms between men and women were evaluated by adding interaction term(s) to the logistic regression models. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in all analyses. The SAS software package, version 9.2 (SAS Institute) was used for statistical analysis.
The study protocol was approved by Kyushu University Institutional Review Board for Clinical Research, and the procedures followed were in accordance with national guidelines. All participants provided written informed consent.
The baseline characteristics of subjects with and without MetS are shown by sex in Table 1. Subjects with MetS had higher values for waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, serum total cholesterol, triglycerides and fasting plasma glucose; they also had lower levels of HDL cholesterol in both men and women. The frequencies of antihypertensive and antidiabetic medications were also higher in MetS subjects of both sexes. Women with MetS were older and less likely to be alcohol drinkers.
Table 1 Characteristics of men and women with and without metabolic syndrome
Elevated depressive symptoms were observed in 58 (4.3%) men and 111 (6.3%) women. Table 2 shows the age-adjusted prevalence and odds ratio [OR] for elevated depressive symptoms according to the presence of MetS components in men and women. The age-adjusted prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms was higher in men with low HDL cholesterol (age-adjusted OR 2.55 [95% CI 1.11-5.86]) and men with elevated fasting plasma glucose (1.90 [95% CI 1.06-3.42]). These associations remained significant even after controlling for age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise (low HDL cholesterol: multivariable-adjusted OR 2.44 [95% CI 1.04-5.69], elevated fasting plasma glucose: 1.93 [95% CI 1.07-3.49]). In women, on the other hand, there were no clear associations between MetS components and depressive symptoms (all p > 0.05).
Table 2 Components of metabolic syndrome and elevated depressive symptoms in men and women
Table 3 shows the association of MetS with depressive symptoms in men and women. The age-adjusted prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms was significantly higher in men with MetS than in those without it (7.1% versus 3.6%; age-adjusted OR 1.78 [95% CI 1.03-3.08]). This association remained significant even after controlling for age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise (multivariable-adjusted OR 1.82 [95% CI 1.05-3.15]). In women, on the other hand, there were no significant associations between MetS and depressive symptoms (p = 0.10; p = 0.006 for homogeneity between men and women).
Table 3 Metabolic syndrome and elevated depressive symptoms in men and women
The age-adjusted prevalence and adjusted OR for elevated depressive symptoms according to the number of MetS components are shown by sex in Table 4. In men, the age-adjusted prevalence rose with the number of MetS components: it was 3.5%, 3.6%, 5.8%, and 9.2% for subjects with 0–1, 2, 3, and ≥4 components, respectively (p = 0.02 for trend). A significant association was observed even after controlling for the aforementioned confounding factors (p = 0.01 for trend). When the number of MetS was used as a continuous variable, an increase in 1 component was associated with a 35% (95% CI 8-67%) increase in elevated depressive symptoms. In contrast to men, women showed no clear associations between the number of MetS components and depressive symptoms (p = 0.17 for trend; OR 0.9 (95% CI 0.76-1.06) per 1 component increase; p = 0.04 for homogeneity between men and women).
Table 4 The number of metabolic syndrome components and elevated depressive symptoms in men and women
The present cross-sectional examination of a general population of Japanese demonstrated a higher prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms in male subjects with MetS compared to those without it. This association remained significant even after controlling for the effects of age, marital status, history of cardiovascular disease, smoking habit, alcohol intake, and regular exercise. Furthermore, the prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms rose with the number of MetS components. In female subjects, on the other hand, there was no clear association between MetS and depressive symptoms.
Although a number of observational studies have investigated the association between MetS and depressive symptoms, their conclusions have been inconsistent [11–29]. With regard to cross-sectional studies, a French study demonstrated elevated depressive symptoms in men and women with MetS [14]. The PPP-Bonita Study also showed close associations of MetS and its components with depressive symptoms in Finnish men and women [29]. With respect to longitudinal design research, the Whitehall II study demonstrated that the presence of MetS was associated with 38% increased risks of future depressive symptoms in men and women in London [16]. The Health in Men Study showed that MetS was a strong predictor of the future development of depression in elderly Australian men [17]. A positive association between MetS and the incidence of depression was also reported in an office-based study of 956 Japanese men [18]. On the other hand, a cohort study from France demonstrated no significant association between MetS and depressive symptoms in elderly subjects aged about 70–90 years old [24]. A recent systematic review and a meta analysis including all these studies, however, demonstrated a clear relationship between MetS and depression. Our findings from the Hisayama Study suggest that the concept of a link between MetS and depression is likely to be applicable to Japanese men.
Several population-based observational studies have reported the association between MetS and depression separately for men and women. A cross-sectional study in France demonstrated that depression and depressive symptoms were associated with MetS, irrespective of gender [14]. A cross-sectional study in Poland showed that MetS was observed more frequently among male subjects with depressive symptoms than those without, while there were no associations among women [12]. A cross-sectional study in the United States reported that women with a history of major depressive episode were twice as likely to have metabolic syndrome compared with those without such a history, but men with history of depression were not significantly more likely to have MetS [11]. A cohort study in Finland found that MetS was not associated with depression or anxiety in either men or women [13]. Therefore, there has been significant inconsistency in gender differences in the link between MetS and depression in Western populations. With regard to Asian populations, on the other hand, a cohort study of Japanese male employees showed a positive relationship between MetS and depression [18]. A cross-sectional study of Japanese subjects in Takarazuka City demonstrated that the mean depression score was higher for men with MetS than those without it, while depression was not associated with MetS in women [25]. In the present study of Japanese subjects, MetS was associated with elevated depressive symptoms in men but not in women. In Asian populations, MetS may be associated with depressive symptoms only in men.
One of the mechanisms underlying the association between MetS and depressive symptoms is thought to be the stress-induced hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is common in depression [30–32] and could lead to metabolic alterations [33–35]. Chronic stress has also been shown to increase the risk of metabolic disorders through elevated sympathetic activity [36]. Another potential mechanism is that cerebral small vessel disease associated with MetS [37] can increase the risk of late-life depression [38, 39]. It is also possible that behavioral factors associated with depressive symptoms, such as physical inactivity and poor diet, contribute to central adiposity and metabolic disorders.
Another important finding from the present analysis is the lack of associations between MetS and depressive symptoms in women. This finding is consistent with a previous cross-sectional study. The SOPKARD project demonstrated clear associations between MetS and depressive symptoms in Polish men but not in Polish women [12]. The reason for this discrepancy has not been clearly resolved, but it may be attributable to heterogeneity in genetic factors, hormonal factors, socio-economic factors and social roles between men and women.
There were several limitations to this study. Because of the cross-sectional nature of the study, we were unable to determine whether or not there was a causal association between MetS and the development of depressive symptoms. In addition, we were unable to address the potential mechanisms underlying the reported associations, the self-reported covariates had somewhat limited accuracy, and the study lacked definite diagnosis of depression based on structured interviews with psychiatrists using standard criteria.
In conclusion, MetS was associated with elevated depressive symptoms in a general population of Japanese men. Screening of depressive symptoms in men with MetS is likely to aid in the early detection and treatment of depression, and might be able to provide additional protection against the enormous burden of mental disorders in Japan.

Home / HEALTH / How Indian nurses battle prejudice daily
How Indian nurses battle prejudice daily
THE BUNT LINE Sunday, May 29, 2016 0
The nurse is your first point of contact in a hospital, and yet usually remains faceless and invisible. Typically, they say, they are either ignored, sidelined or stereotyped; in smaller cities the discrimination can include being barred from doctors' lifts and parking bays.
A recent episode of comedian Kapil Sharma's TV show reiterated some of the worst stereotypes, with one actor playing an obnoxious, loud-mouthed nurse while another trotted about in a tiny white uniform and blow-dried hair.
"This kind of portrayal is rubbish," says Suchita Sawant, principal at the Bombay Hospital College of Nursing. "When have you ever seen a nurse with open hair?"
That may have been just a TV show, but such perceptions, they say, are their biggest bugbear. They're tired of being seen as either a sexist joke or unidimensional and faceless.
"We are all specialising today. Some of us have Masters, MPhils or PhDs in super-specialty courses like cardiology, nephrology, critical care and oncology," says Malathi Rao, deputy director of nursing at Bombay Hospital. "But people don't even seem to notice."


Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain: (Joel McNeely) Before the straight-to-video market for children's movies really began to take off, a project like Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain would be dumped into theatres with typically poor results. This 1995 Universal failure was one of the studio's several attempts to wrestle the "friends and adversity" portion of the live-action children's genre away from Disney, but it was met with only $6 million in domestic returns and has struggled to find a wide avenue of release on DVD in the decades since. The plot of Gold Diggers is frightfully generic, showing the friendship between two young, teenage girls (Christina Ricci and Anna Chlumsky) and how their adventures together in the mountains of Washington help heal their familial situations and own self-doubts. When Ricci's character moves to the small Washington town from Los Angeles, she is immediately an outcast, and she befriends Chlumsky's tomboy, who also suffers from a broken home life and doesn't fit in at school. During their summer vacation, they decide to trek to nearby Bear Mountain in search of mythical treasure left by a tragic female figure of the past, and they eventually find themselves in competition for their loot. The film would have little impactful meaning if not for its supposed lesbian undertones, an implicit part of the production that has apparently made Gold Diggers a champion of "coming of age" gay interests. Addressing none of this topic is the streamlined music for the film, led by the generic light rock song, "The Flying Song," written and performed by Colin Hay for the opening titles. Accompanying the girls on their adventure is Joel McNeely, who was quickly becoming a reliable source of solid orchestral music for this genre in Hollywood. His first widespread recognition came with his Emmy award for "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" in 1993, and his knack for adeptly emulating the style of John Williams earned him several assignments writing music for children's productions of the mid-1990's that would have loved to have Williams music but couldn't afford it. Thus, McNeely became the master of navigating Williams' style through temp track territory for Disney and others, picking up a fair amount of Bruce Broughton along the way. Largely a continuation of this type of work is Gold Diggers, which also throws some James Horner mannerisms for the genre into the mix as well.

A woman and three children were hospitalized after a hit-and-rush crash near the intersection of 35th Avenue and Paxton Avenue in East Oakland.
EAST OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- A 9-year-old child has died and a 25-year-old woman and two other children were injured after their Toyota Corolla was hit by an SUV Tuesday night that was traveling, witnesses say, at high speeds.
The horrific accident happened shortly after 9 p.m. near the intersection of 35th Avenue and Paxton Avenue in East Oakland.
The female driver and the 9-year-old child were listed in critical condition but the 9-year-old passed away, police say. An 8 year old and 10 year old, both females, are said to be stable.
It's not known if alcohol was a contributing factor.
Witnesses told ABC7 News three men in an Infiniti SUV fled the scene after the collision. They say the driver was knocked unconscious after the crash, but ran off after residents revived him.
Police would not say if the female driver of the Toyota is the mother of the three children.
Neighbors told ABC7 News 35th Avenue has become a "highway" where cars speed throughout the day and night, even though there is a flashing light at a passenger crosswalk near a school that says the speed limit is 25 miles an hour.
Oakland City Councilmember Noel Gallo, who represents the area, says the problem is lack of police enforcement of the speed limits there and in other parts of his district which has a high concentration of families and children.
Police are asking the public's help in locating the driver of the SUV.

TV | MST3K MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 OFFICIAL TRAILER ON NETFLIX Joel Hodgson Felicia Day
Finally, Mystery Science Theater is back. After a wildly successful crowd sourced funding campaign the series will be on Netflix April 14, 2017.
In the not too distant future… the new season of MST3K is coming to Netflix. (April 14, AD, to be exact.)
Anticipated Reboot of Fan Favorite Series Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be Available on Netflix in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland in the "Not-Too-Distant Future." Original creator Joel Hodgson will be joined by comedian Jonah Ray ("Jonah Heston") as the new host and Felicia Day (Geek & Sundry) as "Kinga Forrester."
A Kickstarter starter campaign, spearheaded by Hodgson and Shout! Factory, surpassed the goal of funding the production of 14 new episodes and set the world record as the highest-funded film and TV crowdfunding campaign in history.
Mystery Science Theater 3000's national broadcast life began in 1989. Set on the Satellite of Love where a human host is trapped by mad scientists with his two robot sidekicks and forced to watch an endless run of B movies. The format proved to be popular, and during its eleven years and 198 episodes on the Comedy Channel and Sci-Fi Channel, it attained a loyal fan base and critical acclaim, including a Peabody Award and two Emmys® nominations.

Occasionally, I've been asked for an app, or some other method of daily reminders to make using The Everies Book easier.
So, I've created a year's set of bookmarks to help you learn The Everies system and steadily accomplish goals throughout the next financial year: these are The Everies Learning Curve Bookmarks. They can be printed then cut out and used as actual bookmarks in your regular diary or viewed electronically in daily columns. I discovered I can email the PDF to my Kindle account & view the columns day by day on my phone. I even sent The Everies Book to it, with 'Convert' typed in the subject line so I can refresh myself on pages of the Book whenever I want (without having to put my glasses on...). Note that this conversion method doesn't work well for the Bookmarks because it doesn't keep table formatting etc.; but for the Book, it's great that I don't have to scroll back & forth to read each line! I'm going to learn more about formatting for different e-book readers, but that's another project.
Until at least midnight, 30 June 2017, this 160-page companion volume is completely free with your sale-priced Everies Book download. Yes! I want as many people as possible to experience the Everies way so I've reduced the price of The Everies Book to just A$7.99 for this same end-of-financial-year period. If you already have the Book, simply 'purchase' the The Everies Learning Curve Bookmarks download for free on its own.
I know some people may want to try the free book first without buying The Everies Book, and that's okay, but I must warn you that the Bookmarks refer heavily to terms and theory in the Book, without further explanation. It would be foggy-going, but with a little imagination you might be able to get decent results. You could try searching new terms on my blog to see if they've been discussed there.
I'd welcome any feedback about using the raw Bookmarks so daringly! They definitely work better with the Book.
and makes next financial year look more appealing.

The Season 1 end-procuders have been finished, During Season 1 your performance in official VRC competitions has been measured using our Skill level system. With the new calculated skill level for each of the classes you have raced in your Racer level may have changed now starting 2018 Season 2.
You can adjust it upwards say from Club to Sport or Sport to Pro if you prefer to race in a higher racer class in Season 2. You cannot go to a lower racer class than your new racer class indicates.
You should do this before you start your new 2018 Season 2 challange!
On Saturday June 30 2018 Season 2 will kick off.
The events are scheduled with 3 weeks intervals, and we will be racing both Spec and Modified for all classes again. Season 2 ends end of November leaving the month of December for the remaining VRC Worlds events.
Qualifying will be Saturday till Wednesday - finals will be Wednesday till Sunday. Modified classes will be raced with forced rostrum view - spec classes will be raced with free choice of view.
In the last week of June the skill levels will be re-calculated based on your Season 1 performance. You may be promoted to a higher class for Season 2! Make sure to check your actual racer level for all the classes you compete in before you start Season 2.
Following the successful body paintjob project we did for the C7 GT3 body, we now invite our members with advanced Photoshop skills to start working on paintjobs for the Model 11 GT3 body.
You must create an account in order to use this viewer. The 'alpha' (used for holes and wheel arches) and the opacity (windscreens) aren't perfect, you should ignore that and not try to improve that. In the actual model in VRC it will be OK.
When we released VRC Pro back in 2011 we had high hopes that we would see a healthy organic growth of the platform. Despite having added new classes like off-road, short course trucks, RallyX and numerous tracks, this has not happened, much to our big disappointment.
Why are r/c racers who use our platform on a regular basis, so excited about what VRC Pro has to offer in terms of realism, content, competitions and are willing to pay a decent price for it, and other r/c racers don't? There are millions of enthusiastic racers involved in r/c racing worldwide and yet so few join our platform.
We certainly fall short in marketing power, reaching r/c racers worldwide is a massive and expensive challenge, and we need organic growth to keep the VRC Pro platform alive and kicking. Organic growth means growth from within itself, powered by our enthusiastic members.

Chairman John Davey speaking at the 2019 South Wales & West Branch Annual Dinner, held on Friday 31st May at the The Exchange Hotel in Cardiff.
John Gregson Slater MICS
Son of the late Wing Commander E.A. Slater O.B.E and Mrs M E Slater (Babs). Centre is John Slater to his left is the late George Phillips FICS and to John's right Alan Humphries FICS.
Alan Humphries, reflects on the life of John...
I first became acquainted with John in 1960 when I was a trainee shipbroker in Exmouth, we lost touch for a number of years but started to meet again principally at local branch meetings of the ICS. Over the last fifteen or more years this built into a close friendship, we used to meet regularly for pasty evenings, when we talk about the "old times", his face would shine, clearly shipping was his first true love. Whether working in the shipping industry or any of his other career paths John was always a keen supporter of the ICS, right up to the time when he had to give up driving he, at the very least attending the Branch AGM.
