Global warming takes a break
By Lorne Gunter, National Post
Imagine if Pope Benedict gave a speech saying the Catholic Church has had it wrong all these centuries; there is no reason priests shouldn't marry. That might generate the odd headline, no? Or if Don Cherry claimed suddenly to like European hockey players who wear visors and float around the ice never body-checking opponents. Or Jack Layton insisted out of the blue that unions are ruining the economy by distorting wages and protecting unproductive workers. Or Stephen Harper began arguing that it makes good economic sense for Ottawa to own a car company. (Oh, wait, that one happened.) But at least, the Tories-buy-GM aberration made all the papers and newscasts. When a leading proponent for one point of view suddenly starts batting for the other side, it's usually newsworthy. So why was a speech last week by Mojib Latif of Germany's Leibniz Institute not give more prominence? Prof. Latif is one of the leading climate modellers in the world. He is the recipient of several international climate-study prizes and a lead author for the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has contributed significantly to the IPCC's last two five-year reports that have stated unequivocally that man-made greenhouse emissions are causing the planet to warm dangerously. Yet last week in Geneva, at the UN's World Climate Conference — an annual gathering of the so-called "scientific consensus" on man-made climate change — Prof. Latif conceded the Earth has not warmed for nearly a decade and that we are likely entering "one or even two decades during which temperatures cool." The global warming theory has been based all along on the idea that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans would absorb much of the greenhouse warming caused by a rise in man-made carbon dioxide, then they would let off that heat and warm the atmosphere and the land. But as Prof. Latif pointed out, the Atlantic, and particularly the North Atlantic, has been cooling instead. And it looks set to continue a cooling phase for 10 to 20 more years. "How much?" he wondered before the assembled delegates. "The jury is still out." But it is increasingly clear that global warming is on hiatus for the time being. And that is not what the UN, the alarmist scientists or environmentalists predicted. For the past dozen years, since the Kyoto accords were signed in 1997, it has been beaten into our heads with the force and repetition of the rowing drum on a slave galley that the Earth is warming and will continue to warm rapidly through this century until we reach deadly temperatures around 2100. While they deny it now, the facts to the contrary are staring them in the face: None of the alarmist drummers every predicted anything like a 30-year pause in their apocalyptic scenario. Prof. Latif says he expects warming to resume in 2020 or 2030. "People will say this is global warming disappearing," he added. According to him, that is not the case. "I am not one of the skeptics," he insisted. "However, we have to ask the nasty questions ourselves or other people will do it." In the past year, two other groups of scientists — one, like Prof. Latif, in Germany, the second in the United States — have come to the same conclusion: Warming is on hold, likely because of a cooling of the Earth's upper oceans. It will resume, though, some day. But how is that knowable? How can Prof. Latif and the others state with certainty that after this long and unforeseen cooling, dangerous man-made heating will resume? They failed to observe the current cooling for years after it had begun, how then can their predictions for the resumption of dangerous warming be trusted? My point is they cannot. It's true the supercomputer models Prof. Latif and other modellers rely on for their dire predictions are becoming more accurate. A major breakthrough last year in the modelling of past ocean currents finally enabled the computers to recreate the climate history of the 20th century (mostly) correctly. But getting the future equally correct is far trickier. Chances are some unforeseen future changes to real-world climate or further modifications to the UN's climate computers will throw the current predictions out of whack long before the forecast resumption of warming.Source

Take a look at the script, it already includes them but here I leave a set of instructions for you.
If you want to translate it to another language, just contact me first.
Okay, the names are working fine.
I just can't figure it out how to use the icons.
I think an example for this would be useful.
Just leave a comment on the event like New Quest for a new quest icon or Rewards for quest rewards icon or Failure for a failed mission. I didn't include more options because I didn't think about it at the time I crafted my script.
I've already uploaded a new version of KEvents XP and it's available in English and Spanish. I don't know if anybody needs a translation to any other language or whether or not a scriptlet deserves so much attention.
The new features are different ways to show or dispose icons and more colors for the existing name label feature. I didn't include a bold font type because I found normal weight fonts look kind of awkward even while mimicking the VX Ace outline color feature. Besides I don't think a bigger font size would benefit people at all IMHO.
Great! Next time don't forget to fetch me a couple of burritos and french fries! Or should I be asking for date syrup or coconut beverages?
BTW you can split the name so it shows up in two different lines or rows.
This only happens on maps that have an event using the script.
Well, it might happen because you could be using characters as battlers, something I didn't care about while crafting the script, so I guess I should add a preemptive measure just in case.
New version available in English and Spanish!
To Bump You or To Bump Them, that is the question.
New Versions of KEvents XP and optionally KMessage XP are available now, both in English and Spanish. Just pick the one that best suits your Maker needs.
BTW, there are changes in the way the script works so pay attention to the script comments and observations.

We all run on Chemicals/Chemistry
Posted on January 16, 2020 by medicalquestionsandanswers.info
We all run on Chemicals/Chemistry.
(A post put together with one of our readers, a retired General Practioner.)
We all run on chemicals – hormones, endorphins, neurotransmitters, enzymes and thousands more chemicals. How well we feel, perform, our health and our quality of life all depend very much on our brain and body chemistry. To have a good life we need to develop habits that keep our chemicals/chemistry normal, which isn't difficult if you get a simple understanding of how we each make our own chemistry.
Our chemistry is mostly made from what we put in our mouth. The foods and drinks we put in our mouth are broken down and then made into chemicals/chemistry, firstly by our stomach acid and other digestive juices, secondly by billions of helpful bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in our intestines, and thirdly by our genes in every cell in our body.
Our gut and genes come down to us from our ancestors, through our parents, very little changed in the last 150,000 years. But what we put in our mouth today is drastically different to what our ancestors ate and drank. Today it's from farms, market gardens, factory farms and factories, not from the uncultivated virgin nature our ancestors got their foods and drinks from. These greatly changed foods and drinks are very difficult for our unchanged ancient gut and genes to create normal chemicals/chemistry systems from. So many people now have high sugar, salt, fat and cholesterol in their food, and so suffer from obesity, blocked arteries, high blood pressure, heart diseases, strokes, diabetes and dementia. Also, altered brain chemistry causes mental disturbances and chemical cravings that can cause substance abuse and addictions.
The three most damaging changes to what we put in our mouths today are, (1) the great amounts of sugar and white flour products, (2) the lack of fibre from fruit, vegetables, berries, nuts and seeds that our helpful gut bugs need to thrive, which has changed our gut flora, and, (3) the increased saturated fats and cholesterol in meat, dairy and eggs from caged, cramped, inactive grain fed fat factory farm animals that eat no greens. High saturated fat is very different from the small amounts of unsaturated fats and cholesterol in the diets of our ancestors' diets that came from the lean meat and the small eggs of free wild active lean grass and plant eating animals.
The changed foods and drinks changes the type of bacteria, viruses and fungi that thrive in our gut, which further changes the raw materials passed through our genes to make our chemistry from.
We need to get raw materials through to our genes that they are used to and adapted to making into our chemicals/chemistry from over a period of 150,000 years. The more our foods and drinks come direct from nature and are like our ancestors' foods and drinks, and the less they are changed by factories, factory farms and cooking with lots of sugar, white flour, saturated fat and cholesterol, the more normal our chemistry is. And then the better we feel and perform and the longer we stay healthy.
Our chemistry is also changed for many of us by a lack of daily physical activity and exertion in sunlight and fresh air, and a lack of nightly rest and sleep in quiet darkness that humans adapted to over thousands of years. Our chemistry is also changed by water, air and noise pollution.
So American health and life expectancy have got worse each year for the last 3 years despite largely beating the starvation, infections, physical injuries and childbirth problems that killed most of our ancestors. And despite Americans tripling spending on health care from 5% of their GDP in 1965 to !8.5% in 2018, which has produced far better knowledge, laboratory tests, imaging, thousands of new medicines, and many new surgical operations, devices, facilities and hospitals, average life expectancy is falling.
And the zeitgeist of our times has deteriorated because so many products and so much marketing hype today have upset the very important balance between the brain effects of the chemicals, dopamine and serotonin. We need a balance between two kinds of happiness – dopamine based pleasure and excitement and serotonin based satisfaction and contentment. Too much dopamine based pleasure and excitement is giving excessive restless quickly discontented consumerism, waste and pollution, and is crowding out the calmer serotonin based satisfaction and contentment that we all need.
The books, "How Not to Die," (See this review, and other reviews.) "The LDN Book," "The Disordered Mind," and "The Inflamed Mind," are excellent source of information on physical and mental chemistry, health and addictions.

The Australian Health Care Systems generally
Posted on January 9, 2020 by medicalquestionsandanswers.info
We've mentioned this before, but we think of it so often. One of our readers reports that someone he'd been at university with in Australia, who'd ended up as a University Professor in the US, recently wrote this in an email to him – "I'm 73, and should have retired years ago, but here in the US, any nest eggs we may have built up for our retirement can be gone in a flash if we have any sort of medical problems, and so we all keep working – it's a strange culture we live in." So, a Univestity Professor, no less, working past his normal retirement age in fear of the possibility that he may not be able to afford proper care if he has any medical problems!
This, on top of what one of our other readers has told us, and that is that pills that can be bought in India for $5 are sold for $1,200 in the US?
So what about those who don't have the incomes that University Professors have?
Our point, of course, is that we very much fear that, in relation to these matters, Australia is heading in the same direction.
One of our Australian readers has recently claimed that erectile disfunction tablets that he can get from India for $1 cost him $26 each if he buys them from an Australian pharmacy, (so $104 gets him 4 tablets in Australia and 104 tablets form India!!!) and anything he has to pay to get the prescription he needs to get them comes on top of this – and each prescription he gets gets him only 4 tablets, there are no repeats.
It's claimed that Americans were spending 5% of their GDP on health care in 1965, and that this had increased to 18.5% by 2018 – you can imagine how happy these developments make the pharmaceutical companies, the private hospitals, and so on. But, oops!, their life expectancy has declined in each of the last three years!
Dr Andrew James Brooks – Sydney Urologist 18
As you can see, this is our 18th post on the Dr Brooks story – some might even suggest we're obsessed with it, and perhaps we are. But, in the past, all we've ever talked about is claims by one of our readers that Brooks charged him $3,200 for less than an hour's work to carry out on operation on him which didn't work, which was never going to work, and which damaged him for life, it can't be reversed.
And it's only recently that it's started to dawn on us that there may be an aspect to the story which is many times more serious, (why has it taken us so long? why have we been so dumb?) And that is that under the "reward system" that operates under the Berejiklian government, aided and abetted by Sue Dawson, the NSW Health Care Complaints Commissioner, Brooks is probably doing far better than two other Urologists we've since come to know about who come over to us as perhaps 2 of the 4 or 5 best doctors we've come across in more than 11 years. It raises the question, perhaps doctors are better off being crooks???
Our reader reports that, after his experience with Brooks, in a conversation with the GP, Dr Chris Grant, who'd referred him to Brooks, he said to him, "I think he, (Brooks,) is just trying to build up a nest egg for his retirement," and that Grant's response was just to laugh and say, "I would think he'd have lots of nest eggs already!" Was he suggesting he was filthy rich already?
And to complete the picture!
As we've mentioned, we've been contacted at various times by 4 different people acting on behalf of Brooks, (including a Jack Wilson,) making threats against us for what we've been putting up on our blogs, and demanding apologies etc. etc., when all we've ever done is put up our reader's side of the story, at the same time inviting Brooks to tell his side of the story – invitations he's always completely ignored. And that one of these 4 mentioned in passing that Brooks, from time to time, makes "contributions" to GPs to help them in running their practices, and that he described the making of such "contributions" as "a norm for the industry." (We bet this bloke wishes, in hindsight, that he hadn't mentioned this, and that Brooks certainly wishes he hadn't mentioned it!) because, of course, most people would describe these "contributions" as "bribes." And presumably these contributions would only be made to GPs who were referring patients to him – not to those who were not referring patients to him. When we emailed Grant asking him if he'd ever received one of Brook's "contributions," not only did he not respond, he blocked his email addresses so we can't send him any more emails, and neither can our reader. Fortunately, we can pass a copy of this post on to him in another way.
So there you have it readers. Brooks, perhaps charging enormous fees to carry out operations which don't work for patients and were never going to work, referred to him by GPs to whom he makes "contributions" from time to time, and building up lots and lots of nest eggs along the way. So is Brooks laughing all the way to the bank, as the old saying goes?
And, if so, does Premier Berejiklian care? Does Health Minister Hazzard care? Does Sue Dawson Care? Does Jack Wilson care? Do the people in the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand care? – they've always told us in the past that Brooks is one of their highly respected members? Perhaps we'll send out some emails to try and find out?
A 9 Jan. 2020 update: A copy of this post was sent today to the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand. We'll let you know if we get a reply.
A 16 Jan. 2020 update: Nothing yet from the Urological Society – you can imagine that they wouldn't be too concerned about one of their members laughing all the way to the bank.

A contribution put together with one of our readers.
The Low Dose Naltrexone story 4
We believe that, in hundreds of cases around the world every day, the failure of doctors to prescribe Low Dose Naltrexone for patients, to recommend to them that they "give it a go," amounts to CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!
Readers need to understand that this is how the world works.
When a new drug is discovered, one of the pharmaceutical companies takes patents out on it, then has extensive tests carried out on it, which can be VERY expensive, to the point where the FDA, (the Food and Drug Administration in the US,) grants approval for it to be used in certain situations, which puts the pharmaceutical company in a position where it often makes huge profits, as it has a monopoly to manufacture and sell the drug until the patents on it run out, in about 20 years, in a world in which doctors seldom prescribe anything for patients that doesn't have FDA approval.
Naltrexone went through this process. It was discovered in about 1965, and eventually, by about 1985, FDA approval was granted for it to be prescribed to treat certain addictions with 50mg tablets. And it was after about 1985, when the patents on it had run out, in a quite extraordinary development, it was discovered that, taken in small doses, often about 5mg, (hence the term, "Low Dose Naltrexone,") it often brought about almost miraculous health benefits.
As a result of this history, no pharmaceutical company is ever going to pay for extensive tests to be carried out to see if these claims are justified, as it's never going to be possible for it to get a 20 year monopoly on it's manufacture and sale. And, in any case, Naltrexone is so cheap, and with the claims for how many different health benefits taking it in low doses being so numerous, it seems the pharmaceutical companies are happy to just rely on the likelihood that doctors won't prescribe Low Dose Naltrexone, because it doesn't have FDA approval, but will prescribe only their medications, which are more expensive and less effective, because they have FDA approval – which clearly seems to be what is happening.
We've referred to the fact that Low Dose Naltrexone is being widely talked about as one of the five great medical breakthroughs in history, along with Antidepressants, Anti-Inflammatories, Immunisation and Antibiotics – perhaps the greatest of them all! But, EITHER, this talk is total rubbish, OR, doctors not prescribing it in lots of situations is CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. Whichever is right, the other is wrong.
As far as we know, it's never been suggested that being on LDN does harm. And it's so cheap and easy to take – why aren't more doctors recommending to patients that they give it a go? All the feedback is that if patients are on it for 6 to 8 weeks, that they will experience at least one health benefit which will make them want to be on it for the rest of their lives, with the fact that, the longer they're on it, the more health benefits they will experience, and that, it will prevent them from developing other health problems, (by far the biggest claim for it,) being bonuses.
Doctors and other Health Professionals – dealing with generally 3
To us there are 4 types of doctors.
(1) Those who have an ordinary email address, or, at the very least, an email form, and who are prepared to provide medical help and information in emails.
(2) Those who have an ordinary email address, or, at the very least, an email form, who aren't prepared to provide responses to emails sent to them seeking medical help and information, but who are prepared to respond to those who've had a face-to-face consultation with them, who've sent them an email along these lines – "In my recent face-to-face consultation with you, I understood you to have said blah blah blah, blah blah blah – is there anything important that I've left out?" even if it's just with a "Yes and no."
(3) Those who, in the circumstances described in (2) are not prepared to respond in any way.
(4) Those who don't have an ordinary email address, or, at the very least, an email form.
In more than 11 years of searching, we've only found one who's as we've described in (1) – we've sent him 2 or 3 emails and his responses have been really helpful, obviously saving us lots of time, and, less significantly, some money. (He's refused to accept any money, which we think is madness.) We're not prepare to give out his name for two reasons. Firstly, because we're afraid that if what he's doing became widely known, he could be attacked by doctors and doctors' organisations that are fighting tooth and nail to keep things as they have been for hundreds of years, in which the people, you and I, have to line up for face-to-face consultations if we want medical help and information. Secondly, because, if he became widely known, he might become too busy to answer our emails!
To us, it's madness not to make it a rule only to deal with the doctors described in (1) and (2) – other things being equal. Not sticking to this rule has cost us SO dearly. Life and death matters can be involved.
To us, the doctors described in (3) and (4) are going to be replaced by people who are experts on what's on the internet, because everything we want to know about medical matters, (and everything,) is going to be on the internet, if it isn't already, and so up-to-date – it's just a matter of finding it. As a young doctor told us once, "After 3 years, what I learnt in Med School started to be out of date." And that was 50 years ago!
We received this in an email a couple of days ago.
This is a link to the MedInsight Research Institute website, and this is a link to the LDNscience website.
We've just, (on 21 Dec. 2019,) used the email form on the LDNscience website to ask – "Is the method of taking LDN by dissolving Naltrexone tablets in distilled water recommended at all?" That it might be, fascinates us.
We'll let you know if we get a reply.
If you do a Google search on "Low Dose Naltrexone Wikipedia," you are taken to a result which is the most one-sided Wikipedia article we've ever come across, telling only one side of a story – in fact, it's the only Wikipedia article we've come across that comes over to us in this way.
All it talks about is, "unproven," "unsupported by rigorous clinical research," "no peer-reviewed studies," "evidence for recommending such use is lacking," and so on and so on, all coming over to us as typical propaganda by the big pharmaceutical companies. And while all of these things may be true, they're scarcely the point.
The other side of the story, and the point is, that, as far as we know, no one has ever suggested that going onto Low Dose Naltrexone does harm, (if any of our readers knows otherwise, we would be grateful if they could let us know so we could share it with other readers,) and that it can be so easy and cheap to give it, say, an 8 week trial, and the feedback is that if anyone does this, they will experience at least one health benefit which will make them feel it worthwhile to continue being on it – with any further health benefits they may experience later on, and they can be many, together with it preventing them from experiencing any other health problems, as it's claimed for it, being bonuses.
While, in a sense, we can understand why doctors are always wanting to just advise on and prescribe medications that have been "rigorously tested," there are reasons why taking Naltrexone in low/smaller doses may never be rigorously tested, which we've set out elsewhere. But that's no reason why we, the people, you and I, should miss out on what's being talked about as the fifth, and perhaps the greatest medical breakthrough in human history – up there, and perhaps greater than Antidepressants, Anti-inflammatories, Immunisation and Antibiotics.
Obviously, for obvious reasons, there's a great deal out there, trying to discourage the people, you and I, from giving it a try
Patient and Family Experience Units in NSW government hospitals???
An email just sent, (on Thu. 19 Dec. 2019,) to Brad Hazzard, the NSW Minister for Health.
We are SO excited to learn that such a unit exists, at least for the Royal North Shore government hospital, and, particularly if other NSW government hospitals have them – to us it's a highly significant GAME CHANGER!!!
This almost makes us laugh – perhaps even Brad Hazzard doesn't realise how much it's a game changer! Because, amongst other things such units would involve the government in employing experienced and highly intelligent, (and, almost certainly highly paid,) people to carry out investigations and to provide high quality responses to emails from patients – you would hardly think that low quality responses could be got away with. This when, (and we speak from a lot of experience, especially with the Westmead government hospital,) we've never got the slightest indication in the past that there are people like this in government hospitals. And would undoubtedly lead to lots of the doctors in government hospitals having to be sacked for shere incompetence.
It wouldn't surprise us if Brad Hazzard and the Berejiklian government in general suddenly thought, "Oops, we hadn't thought of these things," and backs off somewhat from having such units. But if they don't, the people of NSW are going to be SO much better off.
Come to think of it, we've never got the slightest indication in the past that there are people like this in private hospitals, particularly in the Ramsay Health Care organisation.
It's going to be SO interesting to see how things develop from here on.
We'll let readers know, if and when, a response is received from Minister Hazzard to the email set out above. Hopefully, for our readers, such a unit exists for the government hospital nearest to them. And we'll be particularly interested to know whether one exists for the Westmead government hospital.
If doctors and other health care professionals are not prepared to put anything in writing, especially when, these days, emails make it so easy and convenient to do so, as far as we're concerned, they may as well have up in big red letters somewhere, "I'M NOT PREPARED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING I DO OR SAY."
And, as far as we're concerned, doctors who are not prepared to be accountable are to be avoided like the plague.
AND, in our experience, doctors who work in government hospitals, at least under the Berejiklian government, are ALL like this. If any of our readers has ever encountered even one doctor in a government hospital who's prepared to put anything in writing, we'd LOVE to hear about it. It can be life and death stuff, but they are not prepared to put anything in writing!!!!????
As we've mentioned, one of our readers claims to have been given advice, in a 4 or 5 minute face-to-face consultation with Dr Aravinda Thiagalingam, which would seem to be absolute rubbish, almost farcical! Our reader's story is that, after he'd had such a bad case of dizziness that he'd had an ambulance take him to the hospital, that, after he'd had two sessions carrying out extensive tests on his heart, Dr Thiagalingam announced, almost with pride in his voice, "We've found the cause!" And the cause he suggested was that it had been found that his heart paused for 1 second on an average every 12 minutes, and very occasionally, during 24 hours, for 2 seconds!!!!????
Various other opinions have been, firstly, that it was incredibly unlikely that a severe dizziness attack would be related to his heart in any way in the first place, and secondly, even if it was, that it would be caused by pauses in his heart for one or two seconds, was also incredibly unlikely. But, of course, Dr Thiagalingam has refused to put anything in writing, despite a number of requests being made for him to do so, both by email and "snail mail." Getting second opinions would be so much easier to get if doctors, in such circumstances, provided anything in writing.
One of the things that fascinates us is this. Quite apart from the fact that Dr Thiagalingam has refused to put anything in writing to our reader, and undoubtedly would do the same if any of his relatives and friends asked him to do it, if the CEO of the Westmead Government hospital, where Dr Thiagalingham was seen, emailed him asking him to put his advices in writing, (not that he'd be likely to do it,) Dr Thiagalingham almost certainly wouldn't do it. (Hopefully he'd get the sack if he did.) And if Health Minister Hazzard emailed Dr Thiagalingham asking him to put his advices in writing, (not that he'd be likely to do it,) he almost certainly wouldn't do it. And if Health Care Complaints Commissioner Dawson emailed Dr Thiagalingham asking him to put his advices in writing, (not that she'd be likely to do it,) he almost certainly wouldn't do it. And even if Premier Berejiklian emailed Dr Thiagalingham asking him to put his advices in writing, (not that she'd be likely to do it,) he almost certainly wouldn't do it. It seems that, in the NSW health care systems, doctors like Dr Thiagalingam are not accountable to anyone about anything.
As we keep saying, the solution to all this is simple, well sort of. Readers, don't continue to deal with doctors who won't put anything in writing. Of course, this doesn't help those who need to go to hospital, and can't afford to go anywhere other than to a government hospital. And it seems virtually impossible to find GPs who will put anything in writing – at least in Sydney.


Unilever's iconic Clear anti-dandruff shampoo brand presented its stunning new face with an immersive press event in Hong Kong, with Pure stationing a dedicated team of event mavens in the city to ensureeverything went without a hitch. Multiple press conference and interview sessions were combined with a series of experiential behind-the-scenes R&D arenas in which visitors could experience the technology and key messages first-hand. Superstar spokesperson Xiao S was present to take part in a dynamic product reveal scene, one of many happenings put on to leave attendees with a deeply memorable impression.
To celebrate the opening of their brand new teaching facility above the luxury fashion destination of Plaza 66, world-famous school of fashion and design Instituto Marangoni brought in Pure to make sure the opening properly represented the prestigious new campus. The teaching areas were given a make-over in tasteful hues of red and black to reflect the brand alongside refined Italian antipasti for guests to enjoy.
To launch Adidas Originals' next generation ZX FLUX line, Pure gutted the Nanjing Lu flagship store before unveiling it reborn as an edgy, minimalistic space to properly show off the design and form of the new products. Jagged product installations cut through the store, with a circular conveyor adding perpetual motion to the new-tech collection. A custom felt bag and a fluxing good array of takeaway stickers were on hand for all guests to experiment with.


With an aim to tap the burgeoning ethnic wear demand in India, apparel maker BIBA has collaborated with the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, and announced the launch of India Handloom Brand garments at all its stores. BIBA, through this initiative, will promote India Handloom Brand fabric at their stores.
The brand's new Spring Summer Collection will have pieces with an additional tag of 'India Handloom Brand' to certify that the product is made using the quality fabric. This initiative will provide BIBA an opportunity to popularize Indian handloom products, which will in turn help the weavers and local artisans' showcase their works on a wider platform and help provide a fashionable outlook to the product.
Since its inception in 1988, BIBA has witness a tremendous shift in preferences and taste of consumers and a shift in demand from unorganised to organised players.
Even Technopak's resonates the thought of Bindra. The report titled 'Understanding India's Ethnicwear Market' says, the size of the Indian ethnic wear market was estimated at Rs 82,220 crore in 2014 and is expected to touch Rs 126,210 crore by 2019.
"The market is dominated by women's ethnic wear which contributes 83 per cent to the total market followed by kids ethnic wear and men's ethnic wear with shares of 9 per cent and 8 per cent," according to the report.
With the prime objective of providing trend setting and fashionable Indian attire at an affordable price, BIBA products are available in all three categories of SKD (salwar kameez dupatta), M&M (mix and match) and unstitched fabric.
Apart from collaborating with designer Rohit Bal, BIBA also holds a minority stake in designer label Anju Modi and a 51 per cent stake in designer Manish Arora's label Indian. BIBA Apparels also operates a separate brand Rangriti to cater to tier-II and tier-III markets.
"Our value fashion brand Rangriti has really picked up fast. We opened our first store 6-7 months back and since then we have already opened 15 stores and looking forward to add another 100 stores in next 12-18 months," revealed Bindra.
Buoyed by the success of its kidswear collection, BIBA has recently opened their first standalone kidswear store in Bengaluru. Garments at this store are priced between Rs 499 and Rs 5,999 and caters to girls between the age group of 2-13 years.
"Our standalone kids store has been a phenomenal success and it has been performing far better than we anticipated. We have now realised the underlined demand for kidswear and we are looking for more opportunities to open more kidswear stores. We are opening our second store in Marketcity Kurla next week," revealed Bindra.
BIBA today has over 221 exclusive stores present in over 103 cities pan India. It is also available in large format stores such as Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Pantaloons and Central to name a few.
The company, which is planning to open 20-25 more stores this fiscal, is expecting to close 2016-17 with a turnover of Rs 700 crore.
"We are looking forward to open 200 more stores in next 2-3 years. Most probably they all will be flagship stores where the entire range can be displayed," said Bindra.
"For expanding and building the brand further, we will be spending around Rs 250-300 crore over next two to three years where Rs 100 crore will be dedicated to store expansion, Rs 100 crore on brand presence and Rs 50 crore on other support areas to achieve the goals," he concluded.

Q: System of equations: $x^2+y=7, y^2+x=11$
Possible Duplicate:
Steps to solve  this system of equations

During the flight from Moscow to Yerevan my neighbor gave me the following problem:
Solve the system:
$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}x^2+y=7 \\ y^2+x=11. \end{array}\right.$$
It is easy to find 1 of the 4 solutions. Is there a beautiful way to find the other three?

A: This is maybe a half solution, maybe less. I tried several things and maybe these ideas inspire someone to write a complete solution.
Note that the intersection points lie on the circle of the form
$$\left(x+\frac12\right)^2+\left(y+\frac12\right)^2=\frac{37}{2}$$
This follows from a general theorem on the intersections of two parabolas with orthogonal axes of symmetry.
Now there are so many theorems on cyclic quadrilaterals and even some statements on a parabola passing through the four corners. Then the given point $(2,3)$ should give some additional information. But I couldn't find a concise way of finishing this.

A: Every solution of the given system
$$\left\{
\begin{array}{c}
x^{2}+y=7 \\
y^{2}+x=11
\end{array}
\right. \tag{0}$$
is a solution of
$$\left\{
\begin{array}{c}
\left( y-3\right) \left( y^{3}+3y^{2}-13y-38\right) =0 \\
x^{2}=121-22y^{2}+y^{4}.
\end{array}\tag{1}
\right. $$
The same applies to the system
$$\left\{
\begin{array}{c}
y^{2}=49-14x^{2}+x^{4} \\
\left( x-2\right) \left( x^{3}+2x^{2}-10x-19\right) =0.
\end{array}\tag{2}
\right. $$
The integral solution of $(0)$ is $\left( x_{0},y_{0}\right) =\left( 2,3\right) $. Simple ways to find the remaining solutions are only possible in particular cases, as far as I know. The standard way to solve a cubic equation such as
$$y^{3}+3y^{2}-13y-38=0\tag{3}$$
is to make the change of variables $$y=s-\dfrac{3}{3\cdot 1}=s-1\tag{3a}$$ to get the reduced cubic equation
$$s^{3}-16s-23=0.\tag{4}$$
If the discriminant $q^{2}+\frac{4p^{3}}{27}$ of an equation of the form $s^3+px+q=0$ is negative, its three solutions are real numbers. In this case we have $q^{2}+\frac{4p^{3}}{27}=23^{2}-\frac{4\times 16^{3}}{27}<0$ and the solutions of $(4)$ can be written in the trigonometric form$^{1}$
$$s_{k}=2\sqrt{\frac{16}{3}}\cos \left( \frac{1}{3}\arccos \left( \frac{23}{2}\sqrt{\frac{27}{16^{3}}}\right) +\frac{2\left( k-1\right) \pi }{3}\right),\tag{5}$$
with $k=1,2,3$. So $$y_{k}=s_{k}-1\tag{6}$$ and
$$x_{k}=11-y_{k}^2.\tag{7}$$
For $k=1$, we get $\left( x_{1},y_{1}\right) \approx \left(
-1.8479,3.5844\right) $. And similarly for $k=2$ and $k=3$.
--
$^{1}$A deduction can be found in this Portuguese post of mine.
Added. If $\Delta =q^{2}+\frac{4p^{3}}{27}<0$ the three real solutions of the following reduced cubic equation
$$t^{3}+pt+q=0\tag{A}$$
are given by
$$t_{k}=2\sqrt{-\frac{p}{3}}\cos \left( \frac{1}{3}\arccos \left( -\frac{q}{2}\sqrt{-\frac{27}{p^{3}}}\right) +\frac{2\left( k-1\right) \pi }{3}\right) \tag{B},$$
with $k=1,2,3$.
PS. I do not find trigonometric functions nor radicals ugly. But this is just an opinion.

The government's plans to allow first home buyers to salary sacrifice up to $30,000 into superannuation accounts looks set to do little to make houses more affordable.
"Under this plan, most first home savers will be able to accelerate their savings by at least 30 per cent," Treasurer Scott Morrison said in his budget speech.
From July 1, 2017, people can contribute up to $15,000 a year, taxed at 15 per cent, into their superannuation accounts for a home deposit.
Withdrawals will be allowed from July 1, 2018, and will be taxed at marginal tax rates minus 30 percentage points.
Dr Sam Tsiaplias, economist at Melbourne University, said the measure would not improve housing affordability "in any substantive way" because it favoured the well-off.
"Most of the people who might take this up will be able to afford a deposit anyway," he told The New Daily.
Because the money will be deposited in Australians' super funds, it has been suggested the funds would need to adjust their programs. But Dr Tsiaplias said the accounts would probably be so unpopular that they wouldn't affect the super funds "in any way".
Superfund Partners director Mark Beveridge said the government's "30 per cent" sales pitch would simply leave super funds offside trying to accommodate the new funding arrangements.
The new schemes do not rely on Australians to open new bank accounts. Instead, the government will allow deposit savers to salary sacrifice into their superannuation accounts.
Bill Watson, CEO of First Super, said people who use the new scheme need to be wary of the risks that come with investments.
Saving schemes like this have been tried in the past. The first Rudd government introduced First Home Saver Accounts in 2007. Savers were taxed at 15 per cent on the first $5000 they deposited each year, while interest was taxed at 15 per cent. The government also kicked in a 17 per cent contribution a year on the first $6000.
However, Labor's scheme saw little uptake. Only 48,000 accounts were opened, compared to the projected 730,000. It was abolished in 2015 under the Abbott government.
Wayne Swan, treasurer during the first Rudd government, speaking on CNBC on Wednesday, said his scheme would have shown its impact if it had not been abolished.
"It was a far more generous proposal than the one they announced last night," Mr Swan said.
First Home Buyers Australia co-founder Daniel Cohen said he supported the scheme, but wanted more to be done to address affordability.
"It doesn't single handily solve the property crisis," he said.
Negative gearing came in for only minor changes in the budget, with some tightening around travel expenses and depreciation deductions.
The government expects its home buyers grant to cost $250 million and its changes to negative gearing to save $540 million over the next four years.

Modern mock-ups of Padres uniforms in retro colors
Share All sharing options for: Modern mock-ups of Padres uniforms in retro colors
Of those that want to Bring Back the Brown and gold, I'm in the minority. I don't want a modern take on the old uniforms. I'd prefer if the Padres would just choose any retro uniform from 1969-1989 and wear the hell out of them, but that's not going to happen and I realize that. The important thing is that we first agree to return the team to its true colors and then worry about the uniform design.
Part of the reason I don't like the the idea of the modern uniform is that the fan created uniforms that I've seen floating around the internet just aren't my cup of tea. I've been sent several over the past couple of months and I'll share them with you now.
I met Geoff L. from Soulcake at a Christmas party this past year and he enthusiastically showed me his uniform ideas. I told him then that I'm not crazy about the name change to Los Padres or the new logo font, but respect the drastic and daring changes. I see a lot of fans wearing a similar jersey to the one pictured that looks like the current alternate except in brown. I'm not sure where they're getting these, but I wish they'd stop.

San Diego Padres Refresh | Soulcake Creative
Soulcake's evolution of the Padres' identity brings modernity and strength to the brand in a way that communicates area demographics and San Diego's distinctive style of Southern California baseball.

John B. sent me a uniform set that he designed. I'm sure you've seen it, it's been making the rounds in the last few months. I like the that he's using a retro Padres font, because I think the current one is hideous. I'm not a fan of the gray away or alternate jerseys either; again they look too much like the current away and alternate that I can't stand. I think a better solid brown jersey can be made and has been in the early 80s.

The Bring Back the Brown crew designed a modern mock-up in 2011. It's basically one of the PCL Padres uniform with a color swap.
I didn't like this one at first glance but as I'm looking at it now I can't point to something that I specifically don't like. I tend to think that the uniform needs a third accent color though, which in our case would have to be orange. Just as long as they don't mix brown and blue, I think I can be appeased. I must say that as far as pinstripes go, I like the 85-89 uniforms the best.

One more set that was just sent to me. It looks like it's a straight color swap of the current uniforms, which is definitely an improvement as far as I'm concerned.
San Diego Padres Jersey History: Made-Up Stuff
I'm officially throwing in my hat with the "Bring Back the Brown" crowd. The below set incorporates most of the current logo set, but switches the colors to Brown and Gold. Orange is used sparingly as an accent color. I feel this gives this uniform set some originality and flair, while keeping it tasteful and commercially viable in the modern world.
via caglaze.cts.com
Anyway, these are just my opinions and they don't matter much in the big scheme of things. I know a lot of you like these alternatives and let's be honest, almost anything is better than the uniforms the Padres have worn for the past 14 years. Like I said, I think the important decision now is to agree to return to brown and gold and we'll sort the rest out later, but that's me.

3 Free Agents the Bengals Need to Sign to Win the Super Bowl Next Season
Aaron Rodgers Isn't As Clutch of a Comeback Artist as You Think
Mike Esposito 28 Nov 2018
Cover Photo: Adam Bettcher/Getty Images
One of the first things that comes to mind when someone mentions Aaron Rodgers is his insane ability to bring the Packers back from the brink of defeat. Or need we remind you of all the Hail Mary's he's completed the last couple of years.
However, while his ability to stage comebacks may be the case against some teams, he may not be as clutch as everyone thinks against good ones.
Sure, Rodgers has plenty of fourth-quarter comebacks to his name, but surprisingly, none of them have come against a winning team. In fact, after Green Bay's loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday night, Rodgers now owns 0-37 career record when he enters the fourth quarter trailing a team with a winning record.
Aaron Rodgers is now 0-37 when he enters the 4th quarter trailing vs a team with a winning record.
— uSTADIUM (@uSTADIUM) November 26, 2018
Not exactly what you'd expect from a $134 million quarterback, right? Turns out he's human after all.
Rodgers' inability to come back against winning teams is concerning, but he's not to blame for the Packers' lost season. Green Bay has failed to surround their franchise signal-caller with the right talent to succeed in 2018 and will seriously have to evaluate their roster once the season wraps up.
Tom Brady (8-3)
3,031 Yards 19 TDs 7 INTs
Aaron Rodgers (4-6-1)
3,271 Yards 20 TDs 1 INT
It's Bill Belichick > Mike McCarthy
— Eric Rosenthal (@ericsports) November 28, 2018
Maybe, if they give him the right pieces, Rodgers just might get one or two in the win column.

You are here: Home / Editor's Pick / Empowering Students Community: Necessity of events like Hello Hacker!
Empowering Students Community is a vital issue & for that necessity of Tech Events like Hello Hacker is unquestionable!
In my previous article I had thoroughly covered upcoming Hello Hacker, 2016 at Bangalore. Not only that I had also discussed why this event is going to be so significant for all upcoming engineering grads.
So, from there one thing has become very clear, the importance of this kind of event/ initiative for empowering students. Preparing them for the future.
Because we are living in a country where getting resources (engineering) is not a problem at all but the main problem is getting quality resources who are really employable.
According to a report of Aspiring Minds it clearly shows that around 80% of total students who passed out in 2015 from various engineering colleges of India are unemployable!
Shocking right? May be to you but not me! Why?
I am tracking this scenario from a long time & being an engineer by qualification I can understand this situation very well. Where is it lagging or how can it be solved?
I am not saying that initiatives are not being taken but the main problem is, except a segment of top-tier colleges it's not getting affected.
& it is also true that the way number of Engineering colleges are cropping up across the country, applying a standard protocol is quite tough. Especially tracking/ monitoring them!
As an outcome of it we are seeing the result. Ultimately data speaks & from that you have already got the picture!
Otherwise why the ratio between employable & unemployable resources will be like this? If there doesn't have any loopholes in our engineering education system.
But without blaming each other or our education system, as a responsible & educated citizen of our country if we take the initiative of empowering students community, that will be the best approach.
That's why I liked the idea of Hello Hacker from the very beginning! Because, these type of events can be a great step towards empowering the students and making them more employable.
From the Socio-economic perspective it's a great initiative too. A country which suffers from the shortage of quality human resources then time has come to take some corrective measures.
So let's have a thorough look at how these kinds of initiatives can really help!
You can argue with me regarding in this age of internet, is this a problem at all to get information about what's trending/ on demand for career? No not at all! Then?
But in student life how many of us have the eagerness to learn these things from our own? Think practically considering the general scenario.
At that phase we all (mostly) need a bit push & a proper direction to which we will head!
So in this phase of life this kind of interactive workshops/ events can be highly effective for every student. These will give you a clear idea on which will be better as a career option/ for future.
#2. What actually organisations want from a new recruit?
Until & unless you will interact to anyone who belongs from any organisation, you will never know what a company really wants from a new recruit?
You may be thinking you are good enough in your study but do you know what exact skill sets you need which will increase the probability of getting job or flourishing in career?
Now you can tell I have a huge connection on Social Media, so leveraging that medium I can sort out this issue. But tell me one thing?
Following someone on social media and when the same person is in front of you, are both the situation same?
I think no & you will also agree with me that there is a difference. From the perspective of direct communication, inter-activeness & personal relation building the importance of these events is huge.
In student life we gain knowledge in bits & pieces but when we dive into the real world then our knowledge gets completed.
So when you are still a student how will you enrich yourself with a holistic perspective on your field?
So to have such a perspective, what you should do or footsteps you should follow that you can learn from these events.
You have heard this term many times but do you know what it is, how Personal Branding can really help you or how to create a strong personal brand?
Just like we, as a consumer rely on different brands for different products in our day-to-day life, in your career also you have to create your own brand such a way on which employers will rely!
So Personal Branding is vital! Just having knowledge isn't enough today beside that you have to create such a persona to which people will get attracted.
In today's market you can't neglect the potential of networking. Whichever field you are if you are not well-connected to your community then you may have to face different hurdles.
It matters a lot. If you have a very strong network with like-minded people then it's benefit is in manifold. From getting a new prospect to find a whole new way, the benefit of networking is undeniable.
So I think you got my point? What's your opinion on this?

In a new survey, about half of adults did not recognize the lesser-known symptoms of adult-onset asthma.
If you're having trouble sleeping or struggling with chest pain, the cause might not be what you expect.
A new survey by National Jewish Health found about half of adults don't know chest pain and trouble sleeping could be symptoms of adult-onset asthma.
Dr. David Beuther from National Jewish Health said: "Roughly about 1 in 10 adults has asthma, and some of those have carried it through from childhood. But many of them developed it new as an adult."
Children usually develop asthma symptoms before turning 5, but developing asthma as an adult isn't unheard of.
Other symptoms, like shortness of breath, wheezing and persistent cough, were more frequently recognized as indications of adult asthma.
Doctors warn that if symptoms go undetected and untreated, the condition could cause a loss of lung function. But once diagnosed, adult asthma can be treated with prescription medication, allowing patients to live full, active lives.


Home of the AFL Peace Team.
Following the highly successful inaugural Peace Team in 2008, we are now working on the 2011 AFL Peace Team for this year's AFL International Cup.
By way of brief background the 2008 Peace Team consisted of 13 Israeli and 13 Palestinians that competed as a united Peace Team, making Australian sporting history. The AFL International Cup is an AFL high-profile major event that takes place every three years, and in 2011 will feature prominently during the Final's season. The event will be staged in Melbourne and Western Sydney over a two-week period from 12 – 27 August. It is expected that 24 countries will compete, including a number of countries for the first time.
The Peres Centre is organizing this project, together with its Palestinian counterpart, the Al Qads Association for Democracy and Dialogue, based in the Palestinian Territories. It is the most high profile Middle East peace activity in Australia with strong resonance for Australian multicultural activity and diversity initiatives.
We are excited to announce that AFL Legend Robert 'Dipper' DiPierdomenico will lead an Australian delegation to Israel Wednesday 15 June 2011 to step up preparations for the Peace Team's return to Australia for this year's AFL International Cup 12-27 August 2011.
The delegation will spend time in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bethlehem & Beersheba, soaking up the culture of Israel in addition to attending a Peace Team training camp and making a visit to the Peres Centre.
You can follow our journey via the official Peace Team blog 'We're Integrated' or connect with us via Facebook and Twitter.


I know you have tried making this relationship work. I know you have compromised a lot just to hold it together. I know it's been some months now that everything has changed and you still can't imagine this happening: not to you. I know how bad you feel; you wish this would not happen; you wish it could be as beautiful as it was from the start. I know your friends think you two are having the best of time; hmm, I wish they knew! It never started this way: he was everything you ever wished for in a man, yeah I know: she was the kind of lady mama won't say no to. Friend, I feel your pain, but I won't sympathize with you. Too many times we give up on our relationships when there are valid options untouched. We quickly assume meeting new people is a potent way of discarding the old folks. The point is: getting into a new relationship is a true evidence of you wasting a good part of your life and months with the wrong person. It's also good you know that it's more difficult to build a new relationship than saving an existing one if all options are still valid. Most times in a dying relationship, whoever wants to take-a-bow is the same person to save the relationship. At the point of displeasure, anger or regular misunderstanding, there will always be a million-plus-one reason to leave our partners. But from experience, sensitive decisions should NOT be taken in such moods: they aren't always the best. I'm aware that you have made moves to keep that relationship alive yet it looks like you are burning the oceans. Now, it's time you rest your mind and let's have a discussion on what you should do.
Every man or woman in a relationship sure has a standard even before getting into it. It could be the nature of his job or what should be her highest educational certificate or his marital status or even her physical attributes; height, shape, size etc. Maybe you still don't understand, I'm actually making references to what you want and who you want as a partner. Despite that, there are some people we grow in love with; those people we never gave a chance but sure make a wonderful partner. In all honesty, you can NOT have all you desire in your partner. If you've heard ladies say – I've got the best man in the world! Or men say – my wife is awesome! It's not like the man or woman has no fault, those words are just making imperfect people perfect. You just can't have all your desires, there will always be a minus somewhere, and if it's not a critical part of your relationship: something related to domestic violence and whatnot, you should lower the bar.
Nagging is always the end-point of this. She goes to work just as you do, you came back expecting your food to be hot and ready, but she just started cooking, young man, expect less! He just got his salary and there are 1001 home needs demanding attention, young woman, expect less! Get this clear, any relationship with too many expectations from both partners will get boring. Maybe, you're in the kitchen doing the cleaning and cooking and you think he should come over and help with the dishes, but there he is, glued to the TV set . . . LOL. It could be tiring but expect less! In a relationship where expectations are not met, it could be better communicated but NOT emphasized upon, hence, it would be seen as a subject to discuss at every time – now, that's trouble!
Yeah, sometimes we need to allow our partners go clubbing with friends. You don't have to be around him except he insists. Sometimes, allow her hang out with her friends too. Seeing you both hanging around each other all the time sometimes isn't attraction but being clueless of a better romantic way to get at it. To save a dying relationship, once-a-while, you both could practice 'married-but-doing-single' if you trust each other so well.
Let me be blunt here! A dying relationship sure has a boring routine. It could be a change of vacation spot, eatery, wears, hair-do, weekend plans and lots more. These things come with a good measure of freshness. It might be the same thing you do but a different location, a different way, or you could make a complete change just to try something entirely different. Be aware that regular things could be boring and if I know that what I'm going to be seeing on your hair; as your hair-do, every weekend is the same style, now that's boredom! Discuss with your spouse/partner, try out varieties; something not usual and that could be what your relationship needs to survive.
Go in the same car while she drives, and let her drop you off.
In a relationship, there are some mistakes you can't just explain, read 14 regular mistakes singles make, hence, the relationship begins to lose value. As important as the above-listed are, they could be easily ignored. No doubt, they are powerful, powerful enough to save any dying relationship. Please reflect on them, make the right adjustment and watch your relationship survive. Watch it grow stronger than the first day you-both met. Hence, you got me to thank later. LOL.


My sleeping pattern has been non-existent recently, but I'm hoping to get it fixed soon. Missed the evening carer for over a week by being asleep so not had any big things done. I woke up at 6am today so I'm hoping to manage to stay awake for the evening call, but I'm already getting tired and it's only early afternoon. Silly body.
Johan's day service thing is going well. He's really enjoying it, and it's nice for him to have something to do that's not looking after me. We've not sorted out care for me yet, so I've been mostly sleeping while he's there (cause of broken sleeping pattern, along with needing cyclizine a lot) but they'll bring him back in an emergency. The new care agency isn't starting until the end of September now, so hopefully we'll get things sorted before then, as I'll need to be reassessed due to having the hoist anyway (most agencies insist on two carers for hoisting).
My ability to cope with sensory stuff is improving, to the point where I'm actually thinking my room is dark sometimes 😛 Have bought a light shade for my ceiling light to see if I can cope with having it on (main problem at the moment is it shining in my eyes above my bed). If not then I'll get another lamp to put somewhere else in the room to increase the light levels when I can cope with it. Apart from 30 minutes in the morning, my bedroom doesn't get direct sunlight and is sheltered by trees so it never gets that bright in here even with the blind up (my blind only reduces the light rather than blocking it).
I've managed to read a few books the last couple of weeks, which has meant I've caught up to where I'm meant to be for reading 50 this year. Mostly children's books, but a couple of adult ones a well. I'm managing my computer several times a week so I'm going to start planning what I want to do on there when I get on, as sometimes I'm on but not really doing anything and then I kick myself when I've come off for not doing what I wanted. World of Warcraft is still my main game, and I've been working on reputations in Warlords and pet battles mostly.
I also installed Windows 10 on my computer and a different rom on my tablet. Windows 10 seems to be working well for me, as I mostly use my computer for games and web stuff now and they all work fine. I like the new start menu (finally removed Start 8) and it seems to run faster. My new rom for my tablet is CyanogenMod based, so I'm able to customise it more and it no longer has TouchWiz. Still got to work on it but it's running faster and I'm on 5.1, which isn't available officially yet.
Apart from my nausea and digestion issues (which are getting worse) I've been mostly stable recently. Still occasionally do too much and end up with payback, but I've mostly figured out my limits. The digestion issues are not good though, and I've still not managed to see my GP (with Johan being out 3 times a week and me being asleep during the day it's been hard to arrange). Cyclizine is amazing even if it does put me to sleep, as it means I can at least keep my food down. My portion sizes are decreasing as I get full after less food now, so I'm a bit worried about weight loss (it's hard to tell when I can't be weighed, but my bones in my bum and hips are sticking out more). I'm going to buy some meal replacement bars since milkshakes are really not agreeing with me right now.
Otherwise I've just been doing normal stuff. Playing silly games on my tablet, bossing Johan around, arguing about wanting to do things for myself 😛 I did get new bodies for Nicky and Penelope (we used penguin magic to transfer them) as their old bodies were dropping bits everywhere. Penguin is now demanding a new body but as they don't sell his anymore it's being a bit harder to track one down. I also got a new blue Trabasack to use when I'm on puter or in my wheelchair (which will be happening soon! Yay!). I discovered part of the reason I struggled with being on my computer was the weight of the keyboard, so I bought a lightweight one with purple leds (as it can be dark in here) and it's making it much easier.


Check out this free WordPress Plugin from Bring The Blog. The Real Estate Chart of the Day embeds a new chart (I'm guessing every day right?) on your sidebar. This is a pretty simple way to add dynamic content to your blog. I'll leave it running here on this site for today. Here's a screenshot if you come along later.
Dan Green, who wrote this plugin is speaking at Real Estate WordCamp. We're still ironing out the details on his topic, but this is just another example of the great talent attending the event!
The venue for Real Estate WordCamp is the Denver PPA Event Center. This is the same venue used for RE BarCamp last May. I found a great set of pictures from that event over on flickr. Check it out.

Engine supplier to Norwegian spy ship bought by Russian-controlled company
Bergen Engines, now bought by Russian-controlled TMH International, is in charge of maintenance and service for the spy ship Marjata.
Rolls-Royce earlier in February signed an agreement to sell the Bergen Engines medium-speed gas and diesel engines business to TMH International, the international branch of TMH Group, for €150 million.
The engineering plant on Norway's southwestern coast has built the engines for Marjata, a spy ship operated by the intelligence service in charge of surveillance of Russian naval activities in northern waters.
Marjata is believed to keep an extra good eye on the Northern Fleet's nuclear submarines sailing out from the Kola Peninsula for patrols and exercises in the Barents Sea and North-Atlantic.
Business online E24 was first to report about the possible security challenge linked with the future maintenance of the spy ship's engines.
TMH International is headquartered in Switzerland, but controlled by Transmasholding (TMH), a Moscow-based company own 80% by Iskander Makhmudov, Andrei Bokarev, Dmitry Komissarov and Kirill Lip.
The company has Russian Railways as the biggest customer, manufacturing diesel locomotives, diesel engines, freight cars and subway cars. TMH is also a supplier of marine diesel engines.
Some of Transmashholding's products are used for military purposes, according to a report about transborder corruption by EU-Russia Civil Society Forum.
One example is the engines to the Krasnodar diesel-electric submarine launched in 2015 which is produced by the Kolomensky Zavod, also known as Kolomna Locomotive Works, a factory own by TMH.
In 2018, Kolomensky Zavod debuted at Russia's Army forum with new diesel engines for, among others, the navy's surface warships and submarines, according to Mil.Press.
Over 700 engines made by the Kolomensky Zavod is delivered to Russian and foreign ships, the company could tell at the Army-2018 exhibitions.
Experts of the company have for instance produced special power-plants for Project 20380 corvettes, Project 22350 frigates and the Project 11711 landing ships, all among the newest and most powerful warships in the Baltic Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and Northern Fleet.
Norway's Defense Minister, Frank Bakke-Jensen, said to NTB that the security for Marjata is taken care of, despite the sale of Bergen Engines to Russian owners.
He makes clear that TMH is not currently doing maintenance on the Norwegian spy ship.
Bergen Engines has also service- and maintenance agreements for the engines to several of Norway's coast guard ships, Teknisk Ukeblad reported.

Ryssnäs är ett naturreservat och Natura 2000-område på Fårö, Gotland. Naturreservatet är beläget på Ryssnäs. Här fanns tidigare ett av de batterier som uppfördes till skydd för Fårösund 1885–1886. Området var tidigare militärt övningsområde.

Näsets spets består av ett klapperstensfält. Norr därom följer en låg klint av revkalksten med raukartade partier. Området betas och de enda växter som klarar sig här är tulkört och fårsvingel. I öster mäter Graunkullamyr, en av Gotlands få högmossar. Graunkullamyr är Gotlands enda växtplats för hjortron. Här och var genomkorsas mossen av torvgravar efter torvtäkt. Högmossen omges av en ring av lägre liggande våtmarker, främst agmyrar.

En kilometer norr om Ryssnäs spets ligger Engelska kyrkogården, en kolerakyrkogård för de brittiska sjömän som var förlagda här under Krimkriget.
