Why science matters
Sans Basnet
In the United Kingdom on the evening of Oct. 14, 2009, conservative member of Parliament for Bosworth David Tredinnick stood in the House of Commons to an open debate in the chamber for a health threat that worried him.
"At certain phases of the moon, there are more accidents," he claimed and questioned the health minister of Britain, if he had overlooked the threat. "Surgeons will not operate because blood clotting is not effective, and the police have to put more people on the streets."
Tredinnick's debate in the Commons outraged the British scientific community, but he is not the first MP to argue without any scientific evidence. It is almost routine for the leaders to claim that fails basic understanding of science.
At a gathering, ask if anybody has read, to any depth, the work of Shakespeare. Then ask if anyone understands again, to any depth, the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
I guarantee, it is almost none. So, why is there such a hatred toward science? Why do people not value science to the same level as Shakespeare? Disliking science is okay in our culture, but why? Is it because the scientists lack the ability to communicate properly with the public?
Scientific evidence is an intellectual honesty that cannot stay covered by the Westminster or Washington. The American people have no proper figure on how much NASA actually costs. Or, the economic benefits of the Large Hadron Collider, but they do not hesitate to question the necessity to send a rover on Mars.
Scientific credentials weaken in politics. The 2010 survey found that there are 55 U.S. senators with law degrees and none with a Ph.D. in the natural sciences except Chris Coons of Delaware, who has an undergraduate degree in science.
Of the 650 MPs of the UK, only four hold PhD degrees. "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking," according to Carl Sagan, a famous American astronomer. There should be more politicians with the science background, for we want unbiased, evidence-based leadership.
It is true that one cannot study prions by a controlled experiment in a lab, but neither can one recreate the Big Bang nor rerun human evolution. Politics asks tough questions, but science is a great tool for answering them.
Former British prime minster David Cameron took 18 months after becoming the prime minister to make a speech about science. Obama made little of science on the campaign trial. John McCain did not even reply to a science debate at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Politicians simply do not take science seriously.
Homeopathic research is still funded through the government. Astrology manages to get a column (horoscope) in the newspaper. Psychics are still prevalent in the western societies.
Does the society not care about the science anymore? Is wearing green, on a certain day, going to change my behavior? Are sugar pills capable of curing cancer? I beg to differ.
Americans love to take their wisdom teeth, quickly as possible, despite being hurtful. Jonathan Shepard, the professor of maxillofacial surgery at Cardiff University, after reading thousands of prophylactic operations, concluded that there was no evidence for removing impacted teeth in the absence of symptoms led to better outcomes — in fact, it raises the risks of infection and nerve damaging than doing any good.
The UK health system, then defunded any such practices that are unnecessary. This was the moment when an evidence-based medicine was taken into consideration. This is how policy and science should work: science testing hypotheses and policy makers making laws built upon those evidences.

Nick & Sophie
Domenices-
Del Grande
NICK and SOPHIE DEL GRANDE-DOMENICES are best remembered in Camden as the proprietors of Nick and Sophie's Tavern, at 699 Central Avenue, in the Centerville section of Camden. The bar still bears their name, as does Central Avenue between South 7th and South 9th Streets in Camden.
Nicholas Del Grande-Domenices was born in Pennsylvania in 1908. The 1930 census shows him as living at 322 Walnut Street in Camden with his mother Maria and sister, Edith Del Grande. He was then working as a manger of a restaurant.
Sophie was born in New Jersey February 7, 1914 to Peter and Kathryn Koszarecki, who had both emigrated to America from Poland as teenagers. Besides Sophie, there were at least two older daughters, Viola and Clara, and a younger brother, Alexander. By 1930 Peter Koszarecki and his family were renting the bar and building at 2001 Broadway, where they operated a cafe. In later years this bar was known as the Belleview Inn. It appears the Peter Koszarecki soon became the owner of the Belleview Inn, and shortly thereafter acquired an interest in 699 Central Avenue.
According to Sophie's obituary, it appears that Peter Koszarecki acquired the bar at 699 Central Avenue in 1934, and that Sophie worked the bar, as soon as she was of age. In 1947 the bar appears in the Camden City Directory as Nick's Cafe, and in the New Jersey Bell Telephone Directories of the 1950s and 1960s as Domenice's Tavern. Since the 1970s the listing has been as Nick and Sophie's Tavern.
Nick and Sophie had a son, Peter Del Grande, who was a prominent Republican politician in Camden County in the 1960s and 1970s. Sophie was a Republican 8th Ward Committee Woman during the 1960's. She was a member of the Lindenwold Moose Lodge and an avid bowler at Westbrook Lanes for 40 years. Nick and Sophie were members of the Church of the Sacred Heart at Broadway and Ferry Avenue in Camden.
Nicholas Del Grande-Domenices passed away on July 25, 2001. Sophie joined him in on February 15, 2002. The rest together at New St. Mary's Cemetery in Bellmawr NJ.

It could be allergies. Yorkies are often allergic to corn and/or wheat in their food. Sometimes it is the shampoo you're using.
Mitzi had that too and after changing food and shampoo she's doing just fine.
It might help to put a cotton shirt on him to prevent him to scratch and cause inflamation and irritation.
Hope your baby is getting better really soon!
Ohhh... and WELCOME TO YT!!!!!

Reuger is also treated with frontline plus, but under his arms and on his chest he's got little red bumps that are red and itchy. I think that it's chiggers. We're all having trouble with them right now. I would think that any anti-itch medicine would be alright to use.

I highly suggest Using Oatmeal shampoo and rinsing it very well and then follow up with a oatmeal conditioner. Tigger used to have dandruff and then I started using gold Medals Puppy Shampoo with Fresh N' Cleans Oatmeal and Baking Soda conditioner. Fresh N' Clean also makes a Oatmeal and Baking soda Shampoo. Not only do they work well but they also smell Fantastic!!! And I've noticed Tigger smells good even a day or two later. He no longer has Dry skin and he looks great.
I, too, agree with the possibilty that it could be Food allergies. or even Atmospheric allergies. I would first start out with changing his batheing routine and if that doesn't work then have him allergy tested.
Also.. did he have this skin condition before you put on the flea meds? If not maybe that's what is irritating it.

My 21/2 yr old yorkie has developed allergies of some sort.
As per my vet, I put her on a home cooked food regimen of lamb and potatoe for 10 wks. without any results. Her skin is extremely pink, as well as her ears, which I was told has yeast in them, and am now using Otomax for 10 dys. She is on Vanectil-P since the month of May, and wae are weaning her off it, to 1/4 pill every second day. I also
I am finishing my reply to you, I am now giving her Benadryl and changed her food to Natural Balance Duck and Potatoe, and have not seen any change in her as yet.
Have you seen a vet with your yorkie, and can you tell me what he has advised you, re her skin condition. I am at my wits end, and feel terrible that she is so itchy. Besides the cost to date, without any results.
Mom loves Gucci
Gucci had itchy and flaky skin when she was younger. I switch her food because it had corn and started bathing her with oatmeal shampoo. I also used Missing Link. I don't know what did the trick but she doesn't itch or have flaky skin. Your pup can have food allergies or it can be something else. If the scratching is very bad I will take her to the vet. Good luck. I hope your pup have some relieve soon.

I know Canidae is a great food for dogs. It's all natural and doesn't have corn in it. They also recently came out with a new formula made espically for dogs who have allergies.
The link is http://www.canidae.com/dogs/chicken_and_rice/dry.html.
I hope this helps you out some.

My 21/2 yr old Yorkie, her name is Lexee, a darling dog.
She has delveloped an allergy, which we do not know as yet to what. As per my vet, had her on a lamb and potatoe diet for 10 wks, and he told me not a food allergy, but will do a skin test after the summer to determine the allergy. She has been on prednisone since May (called Vancetyl-P) and am now weaning her off to 1/4 pill every other day. Also put her on Benadryl and a new food called Natural Balance duck and potatoe. Am so depressed to see her itchy and chewing on her paws, where they become sores on them. Her skin is very pink, and her ears where I was told she has yeast in them. Putting Otomax in them twice a day of 5 drops each time. Need help!!

Evergreen Playhouse
Senior Interests
226 W Center St, Centralia, WA 98531
Evergreen Playhouse was established in 1959 by a group of area citizens with a strong commitment to the theatre arts. This group of people led to the first Board of Directors of The Evergreen Playhouse. It has operated continuously since that time, presenting a variety of live theatre experiences to the community and providing many opportunities for people to share their talents on stage and off.
At its inception, Playhouse founders made a decision that the theatre group would not undertake any production without funds to cover production costs. This policy has been maintained throughout the fifty-plus years of Evergreen Playhouse's existence. Unlike many theatre companies, professional as well as non-profit, Evergreen has never operated "in the red." Five dollar bonds were sold to finance its first play, Sabrina Fair, and were redeemed, as promised, following the production. Since that time, money to finance every play has been available before the play was produced.

Day of Giving FAQ Challenges Stories Give Now
Day of Giving Stories
"I give to Lycoming so that the College can continue to provide life-changing experiences for its students, and so Lycoming can maintain a level of excellence in the quality of students, professors, staff, facilities, and technology.
My four years at Lycoming had a significant impact on my life, allowing me the chance to become well rounded in both social and academic ventures. By investing in Lycoming, I am helping preserve the opportunity for other students to have the same experiences I did.
When I think of Lycoming, I feel like I am going back to my roots, my family, where I grew into the person I am today. I ask all alumni to look at where they are in life, what they have accomplished, and how they are viewed by their peers, and ask themselves, 'Where would I be today without my experience at Lycoming College?'"
Every little bit counts — it is not about making the largest donations. The contribution itself, no matter the amount, shows an appreciation for an experience Lycoming made possible and the desire to ensure that future generations of Warriors will have an equally great experience."
Bob Martin '95
President, Alumni Association Executive Board
"Margaret and I have degrees from six different institutions of higher education, public and private, well known and not so well known. We prize them all. Each has shaped our lives and are part of who we have become. Neither of us attended Lycoming. We began here as faculty; I was full time in 1969 and a little later Margaret part time, and then as staff for a couple of years. We hope we have helped shape the College and we are certain it has helped shape us.
Lycoming offers to its students a first class education in the liberal arts and sciences. It also offers faculty and staff a multitude of opportunities to work with and share in the lives of its students and one another. Some years ago we decided to support its efforts, beginning with a scholarship in honor of our parents, and then with contributions to the most recent building programs.
We see Lycoming as a community. In our early years at the College we were often amazed at how our recent students stepped into important roles in their communities and launched creative careers. As the years have rolled by we have begun to expect that of our graduates, understanding that the College has continued to move forward, preparing its students for the changing future."
Margaret Piper &
John Piper, Ph.D.
Emeritus Professor of History
College Historian
"For over 200 years, Lycoming College has continued to grow — both in size and vision — and now, for the first time, we can celebrate a significant international presence on campus, as well as a more substantial representation of students from throughout the United States. It is partly this gathering of diversity, brought together in one vibrant location, which will allow the College to blossom all the more in the coming years. We have, one might say, stretched our arms that much wider in order to embrace the possibilities of cultural experience.
In that same spirit, widespread contributions (with no gift being too small) will pool together so that we can sustain the College's ambitious goals. But this depends, of course, on our Lycoming community to celebrate our past, present, and future by acting on this challenge. Collectively, we can ensure that our students graduate with the opportunity to enrich their communities around the globe."

Franchising – Plan for Success
By Eric Calero
Dec. 21, 2022 Reading Time Created with Sketch. 5 min. read SHARE
Utilizing a franchise has become a well-established means of starting a business, especially for those without prior experience. While success is never guaranteed, franchising allows individuals to use a system's proven record and established brand to mitigate some of the inherent risk that goes with establishing a new enterprise. Understanding the internal workings of a franchise and developing an informed strategy can further reduce this risk while positioning the franchise to become profitable.
The purpose of a franchise is to provide a uniform and consistent vehicle through which multiple locations can be established that expands the Franchisor's footprint. Franchisees facilitate this expansion. The typical Franchise Agreement, which provides the terms of the legal relationship, contains language that is very Franchisor-oriented, limiting a potential Franchisee's ability to negotiate different terms. The terms that are negotiable should be pursued at the beginning of the legally binding relationship. While the relevant issues are expansive, below are a few thoughts and suggestions for use in those negotiations, beginning with understanding the Franchisor's position.
Review available information: Prior to any formal franchise purchase, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires a Franchisor to disclose, in plain English, basic information on the franchise. This disclosure is provided through a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Included in the FDD is a wealth of information about the franchise system and its operators. Potential Franchisees should take advantage of this unique opportunity to educate themselves on the specific franchise. Understanding the franchise system and its requirements to starting a franchise is an essential starting point in this process. Attached to the FDD is the Franchise Agreement which will provide an opportunity to negotiate terms, several of which are discussed below.
Seek Installment Payments of Initial Franchise Fee: It is commonly known that the majority of small businesses fail within the first five years of existence. One of the main reasons is lack of sufficient working capital as new business owners tend to underestimate their cash flow requirements. This issue stands true for Franchisees as well. The benefit of using a Franchisor's established brand and resources comes at a cost of the initial franchise fee. There are also other ongoing fees such as royalty, advertising, marketing, and software licensing fees which create additional burdens on a Franchisee's cash flow when beginning the business venture. For this reason, a Franchisee may benefit by negotiating payment terms that are set up as installment payments. It is important that the Franchisee be realistic about his/her budget with how much he/she can reasonably afford to pay, and whether installment payments will help meet the business's financial goals.
Utilize Available Support: Starting a franchise, or attempting to navigate an unfamiliar industry, can be a daunting task, even in the best of circumstances. Especially to new entrepreneurs, the Franchise Agreement's provision on industry specific training could be beneficial. Generally, the Franchisee must learn the ins and outs of the new business, while also being able to make managerial decisions. To avoid making irrevocable mistakes and burning through available cash, it is important that the Franchisee understand his/her own strengths and weaknesses when running a franchise. For example, if a Franchisee does not understand supply chain logistics, it may be important that he/she request additional training on this matter during preliminary discussions with the Franchisor.
Without proper forethought and planning, the timing for training the Franchisee, managers, and employees can take longer than expected, especially when the Franchisee is unfamiliar with the operation of this, or any, business. For these reasons, training should be considered in preliminary negotiations to help the new business owner and his/her team get support to fill skill gaps in a timely fashion.
Look to develop and expand your Territory: Often, a Franchisee is developing his/her business in a new area where there may be few, if any, other franchisees in the adjacent territories. Should a Franchisee wish, there are several opportunities available to protect expansion opportunities, such as a Development Agreement which provides a contractual right to open new units or develop new territories in the future. Another protective mechanism comes from obtaining a right of first refusal over adjacent territories.
Sometimes a Franchisor will receive an offer from a third party to open a new territory near the Franchisee's. Under a right of first refusal, the Franchisor must provide the Franchisee with an opportunity to match that offer. These approaches can help protect adjacent territories for the Franchisee while maximizing the use of his/her efforts and resources in developing the Franchisor's brand. They inevitably come with reciprocal financial obligations, but if one can be successfully negotiated, it can help maximize the Franchisee's opportunities to further expand the business venture.
Anticipate Transfers: Transferring the business before it has even started will not be at the top of a Franchisee's "must have" list of negotiable terms. But many times, Franchisees invest in a business opportunity with the idea that it may eventually be passed down to his/her family as generational wealth. Such desires conflict with the Franchisor's need to control how and to whom the franchise can be transferred. Specific conditions on and limitations to transfers are standard and necessary in Franchise Agreements in order to protect the system. Restrictions such as Franchisor consent to potential transferees and signing the "then current" Franchise Agreement can be very limiting. For example, consider the negative effect on the business's profitability and value if the Franchisee's royalty rate is five (5%) percent, but the new Franchise Agreement being transferred has a royalty rate of seven (7%) percent. Each of these provisions should be reviewed and considered at the beginning of the relationship as part of the long-term planning process.
Review sale restrictions. As noted above, Franchise Agreements will almost always include restrictions governing the sale of the business, including limitations on permitted transferees. But in extreme situations, these provisions can be dramatically more damaging to the Franchisee. Sometimes, Franchisors will reserve the right to buy the business assets at a depreciated or depressed value, or worse the agreement will provide that the Franchisor is entitled to a portion of the sales proceeds paid by a third party. These provisions should be negotiated in the Franchise Agreement. Efforts should be made to significantly modify or delete this provision to protect the franchisee's hard work.
Request advanced waivers or consents: Franchisors often cite anti-discrimination laws, meant to protect franchisees, as the basis for refusal to negotiate any change to the standard Franchise Agreement. One means of dealing with this issue is to seek simultaneous consents or waivers in connection with signing the Franchise Agreement. For example, the franchisee may have a child participating in the franchise, and while the Franchisee would like him/her to own the business one day, the transfer provisions of the Franchise Agreement require the Franchisor to consent to any new franchisee. In this situation, the Franchisee would ask the Franchisor to consent in advance to the child being a permitted transferee, thus avoiding an "amendment" of the Franchise Agreement. While this approach may not be acceptable to the Franchisor, every effort should be made to incorporate desired provisions in the Franchise Agreement or its accompanying documents.
Every business venture has its fair share of risk and uncertainty. Even though franchises mitigate some of this risk through an established brand and abundant resources, Franchisees should thoroughly understand the inner workings of their business and agreement with the Franchisor. Taking the initiative to understand and plan maximizes the use of the selected franchise system to improve the odds of success and permit a Franchisee a greater chance of ultimately enjoying the results of his/her efforts.

Sometimes you are just looking for a recipe with a difference, or a crazy combination of ingredients, or something that just sounds yummy. Well I came across this one here, Apple Nachos with caramel sauce, drizzled melted chocolate, and a few other ingredients. I tried it with the boys and my lovely husband sitting at our table on the patio and picking at it, we loved it..let me know what you think!
By the way I am sharing the recipe from www.nutmegnanny.com - thank you!
Slice apples thinly and toss in the lemon juice to stop them going brown. Arrange on a platter.
Gently warm the caramel and the Nutella seperately and drizzle on top, I used the caramel cold and warmed the nutella - lovely!
Sprinkle the rest of the toppings on top.

Congratulations to Daniele Nestola, Winner of the LAPT Grand Final (R$289,300)!
It only took approximately four of play at today's final table and start-of-the-day chip leader Daniele Nestola has emerged victorious! Due to a deal made when play got down to heads up, Nestola earned himself R$289,300 and the coveted Latin American Poker Tour title.
The final table was filled with excitement and included one of the biggest names in poker, Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu. He wound up with a six-place finish worth R$48,730 after falling to eventual third-place finisher Carlos Ibarra.
After the elimination of Ibarra in third place, Nestola and Nicolas struck a deal. At the time of the deal, Nestola had 4.405 million in chips to Nicolas' 2.78 million. They both agreed to take R$250,000 each and leave the title along with R$39,300 to play for. From there, things didn't last long at all.
On the final hand of the tournament, Nestola raised all in on the turn with the nut straight. Nicolas made the call for all of his chips holding top pair and was drawing stone dead. Nestola knew it and began celebrating with his group of friends.

Well, the Anacortes Art Fair has come and gone. I spent more money than I made but was proud to sell this tug not a day after completion. It was still wet and unframed. Saturday and Sunday we did not see the sun because of fog and smoke in the air. That created an interesting color in the sky which was sort of gray/orange. The boat builders were not at work yet when I started this but it wasn't long before the cranes and materials started moving all over the place. This was a fun painting to put together and a pleasure to sell.

He also works with Hip Hop Education South Africa. In this interview, DJ Azuhl talks about the early years of Hip-Hop in Cape Town, especially during the years that South Africa was under apartheid rule. DJ Azuhl also shares his perspective on DJing and Hip-Hop culture in South Africa, and the art form of the Hip-Hop DJ. Cape Town's old-school artists are often heavily involved in mentoring young Hip-Hop heads, and DJ Azuhl talks about the importance of reaching back and giving back to the culture.

HHAP EPISODE 53: Hip Hop Palaver, v.1
This is a special episode of the Hip Hop African Podcast. It is a collaboration between the HHA Podcast and the Global Hip Hop Exchange (GHHE), which is an online network/community of hip hop creatives who are primarily from, or based in, Africa.
In the first discussion, or palaver, several hip hop creatives from around the continent came together to talk about the impacts of the Corona virus on our lives, personally and creatively. The discussion also centered on income security for artists, how artists are finding ways to get through these difficult times, and how folks are feeding their creativity.
The discussion included members of the GHHE, all of whom have been involved in hip hop culture in their respective countries for several years. The roster of this, the first of what will hopefully be several, palaver is:

Coverage of the 2015 election
With two months until the election, the Liberal Democrat story is already written
March 3, 2015 11.33pm EST

Where did it all go wrong? John Giles/PA
By the measure of current polling, the Liberal Democrats are set for a terrible night on May 7, securing only around 8% of the vote. Their grand gamble with the Conservatives in 2010 has simply not paid off.
When the Liberal Democrats entered into coalition with the Tories, they were digesting a strangely disappointing moment, after faring much worse than predicted in a promising campaign. Nevertheless, Nick Clegg's party held the balance of power and took the opportunity to enter government.
This, it was argued, was the moment to demonstrate that coalition government could work, that the two-party system was no longer fit for purpose, and that politics could be done in a different way – ideas at the core of the party's ethos.
Those early days of the coalition indeed held great promise, and at first it seemed that the Liberal Democrats had done well out of the post-election negotiations. The coalition agreement, for example, seemed to reflect the Liberal Democrats' ideological position at least as much as it did the Conservatives'. The party secured agreement on key manifesto pledges around tax cuts, a pupil premium, political reform and a sustainable economy.
In addition, the party was well-represented in government – securing five out of 22 ministerial posts, 12 junior ministerial posts and about 30% of cabinet committee places.
But in practice, the Liberal Democrats' taste of power has been somewhat bitter.
The only way is down
Within months of assuming office, the Conservatives had taken full control of the agenda, rolling out ambitious reform programmes in health, education and welfare. In comparison, Liberal Democrat victories on taxation and the pupil premium seemed marginal gains, and many key pledges were not successfully implemented.
In the case of electoral reform, they were humiliated at the ballot box, as the alternative vote system was rejected by 67.9% to 32.1%.
The party's reputation also took a battering. For signing up to the Conservative's austerity agenda and reneging on its pledge to scrap university tuition fees, the party saw its poll ratings plummet, routinely struggling to hit 10% – this after the halcyon days of the 2010 campaign, during which some polls even had them in the lead.
Not packing them in like they used to. John Stillwell/PA
In material terms, since 2010, the Liberal Democrats have also lost hundreds of council seats, and they now have fewer than 3,000 councillors for the first time in their history. At the 2014 European elections, they lost seats in every region apart from the South East of England, attracting just 6.9% of the vote compared to 13.7% in 2009. The party's membership also fell by 35% between 2010 and 2012.
This story already appears to have been written: the Liberal Democrats took a gamble that being in power would pay off, and aside from some small consolation prizes, they appear to have lost.
The true extent of this miscalculation will only be apparent at the polls on May 7, and after any negotiations that ensue in the event of a hung parliament. As the heady campaign of 2010 showed, there's no predicting what can happen once the campaign proper gets underway.

Leatherhead is a town in Surrey. Situated just south of the M25, it is conveniently located for London, Gatwick Airport and the south coast.
Unfortunately we do not have any van hire companies listed in Leatherhead, but we probably have one nearby.
Our independent price comparison engine can compare van hire prices in Leatherhead to help you find the cheapest van rental deal out there.
The Surrey town of Leatherhead is home to around 10,000 people. Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, Leatherhead's recorded history starts around 880AD. One reason for its growth was probably its location on an important north-south route and at a crossing on the River Mole, alongside which the town sits.
Although home to several light industrial concerns in the past, Leatherhead's largest employers today are mostly large companies, several of whom have UK or European headquarters in the area. Leatherhead's location by junction 9 of the M25 makes it central and accessible, as does its proximity to Gatwick Airport.
Attractions for visitors include the nearby Chessington World of Adventures and Bocketts Farm - both of which are ideally suited to families with young children. Older visitors might prefer to take in the natural beauty of the Surrey Hills area, including visits to the historic Norbury Park, Ashtead Park and Polesden Lacey.

Rachel catches the slow train into central London each morning. She's come to look forward to the moment it pauses at a signal overlooking a row of back gardens to check whether the couple from number fifteen are out on the terrace. The cans of ready-mixed gin-and-tonic that she consumes on the homeward journey and the fantasy she has built up around the lives of this seemingly idyllic couple are all that are keeping her going at the moment so, when she sees something that contradicts her notion of their charmed lives, she's thrown into chaos. Partly shocked, partly scared and partly exhilarated by the chance to be in on the action, Rachel's efforts to help appear to make the situation worse. Why should the police, or anyone else for that matter, listen to a deceitful alcoholic? Subject to periodic memory losses and blackouts, Rachel isn't even sure she can trust herself.
I wasn't expecting to be disturbed by a futuristic novel about a sinister epidemic of which children are the only carriers, causing anyone who comes near them a barrage of symptoms including dizziness, severe headaches, and nausea. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the darker side of the relationship between old and young, and the devastating impact of parental distance on children's development, is familiar territory for me, and I looked forward to seeing how this would be explored. The back-cover blurb did nothing to discourage me, but perhaps I ought to have paid more attention to the phrase "part postmodern puzzle", post-modernism being a concept I've consistently failed to understand.
Seven-year-old Millie has been studying Dead Things since the death of her dog, Rambo. Number twenty-eight on her list takes up two pages of her exercise book: MY DAD. Still, at least she's got her mum, until even she leaves her to wait beside the Ginormous Women's Underwear stand at the department store and doesn't come back. Eighty-seven-year-old Karl, who once typed love letters with his fingers on his deceased wife's skin, has fled the old people's home to fulfil their shared dream of camping out in the department store overnight. Eighty-two-year-old Agatha has not left her house since the death of her husband seven years before, her days following a strict timetable which includes analysing her aged body and writing angry letters of complaint. When the three meet up, they embark on a road and rail trip across Australia in search of Millie's mum.
Arthur Friedland, unpublished novelist and general layabout, has three sons from his two marriages: Martin, the eldest by two years, and identical twins, Eric and Ivan, who even themselves aren't always sure where one ends and the other begins. One afternoon, after taking the three teenagers to a hypnotist stage show, Arthur drives right out of their lives. He doesn't see them again until about twenty years later, when he has achieved fame as the author of My Name Is No One, a novel so nihilistic it drives its readers to suicide.
The conventions of psychotherapeutic practice have evolved to ensure the physical and psychological safety of both therapist and recipient and not for the creation of a page-turning novel. While some aspects, such as supervision and personal therapy for the therapist, have the potential to enhance character and plot development, others serve to minimise the jeopardy and tension that is often required for a good story. As I've discovered through my reviews of novels in this series some writers blur the boundaries through lack of knowledge, but even a former psychotherapist and a practising clinical psychologist have relaxed the rules of therapy when turning to fiction. Having discussed the limitations of the fictional therapist and how to overcome them with former psychotherapeutic counsellor, Kate Evans, on Twitter, I was intrigued to see how she had tackled the issue in her own debut novel.
Andrew appears to be particularly accident prone, everywhere he goes he brings disaster, especially to those he loves. After one marriage has ended in divorce and the death of a baby, his second has left him as the hapless father of a motherless baby girl. In a purported conversation with his therapist, he reviews his life story, and the extent of his responsibility for the tragedies that have occurred.
Andrew is a "cognitive scientist" with a strong belief in the impact of brain biology on our actions as opposed to the more nebulous mind. Although not necessarily a likeable character, his voice is lively and appealing. At first the novel comes across as a parody of therapy, with the therapist's questions and largely unhelpful interjections generally ignored. But as the novel progresses, we find ourselves embroiled in a far darker story of not only the wrongs unwittingly triggered by this one individual, but, via Andrew's college-day friendship with a war-mongering president, of political shenanigans of the worst kind. By the end of the novel the dreams, "soundless voices" and speculation about how far studies of the human brain can take us, that have preoccupied Andrew from the early pages, and even the identity of the seemingly neutral therapist take on a more sinister significance, in which his only note of hope is in the science supposedly underlying his experience, along with his insistence on his inability to feel.
I was a little disturbed by this novel, not so much in respect of the unsettling subject matter, but in the way that subject was handled. I've wondered how much of that is me, and how much the writer, and have come to the unbiased or sitting-on-the-fence conclusion (depending on the way you choose to look at it) that it's a bit of both. It raises a question I've considered before on Annecdotal, especially in my review of Jemma Wayne's After Before, as to whether a novel is weakened by drawing parallels between extreme and milder transgressions or acts of injustice. It also forces me to confront the limits of my openness as a reader to alternative treatments of controversial issues.
Bernadine Bishop, who died in 2013, has an interesting history: the youngest witness in the Lady Chatterley trial, she published two novels in her twenties, taught for ten years in a London comprehensive, before retraining as a psychotherapist. On retirement in 2010, she returned to writing fiction, with her first later novel, Unexpected Lessons in Love, which drew on her experience as a mother undergoing cancer treatment, shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award in 2013. If you've followed my series on fictional therapists, you'll appreciate that I was intrigued when I read that Hidden Knowledge stems from her experience as a therapist.
It was no doubt a combination of tussles with my current WIP, Charli Mills's post on her horror of perfectionism and reaching the end of Shelley Harris' second novel that reminded me of this feedback from a colleague over twenty years ago. Tasked with resettling longstay psychiatric patients into more ordinary lives within the community (incidentally, the subject of my current WIP), youthful idealism made me susceptible to setting unrealistic goals, both for myself and the service. Not recognising my misguided heroics, my colleague's comment helped me to take a step back. However much I might have wished to, I couldn't save the world!
So, although I've never been tempted to don a cape and mask and strut about my home town righting wrongs, I don't find it too difficult to identify with the protagonist of Vigilante, who does exactly that. Jenny Pepper has abandoned her career as an actor to become a mother; now she finds herself increasingly marginal in her teenage daughter's life and unstimulated in her work as the manager of a charity bookshop, the spark long having gone from her marriage. Rendered virtually invisible by dint of her age, unglamorous job and gender, tidying-up has become her life's purpose until, en route to a fancy dress party, she witnesses a woman being attacked. Although lacking the skills of a comic-book superhero, Jenny does manage to rescue the woman from her assailant. Soon, her secret identity has become an addiction, threatening her marriage, friendship and her own safety. When a masked villain stalks the town, preying on girls the age of Jenny's daughter, her alter ego is tested to the limit.
Having enjoyed Shelley Harris' debut, Jubilee, and explored it with her here, I was interested to see where her imagination would take her next. When I came across her YouTube trailer, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. It's such an appealing premise, but does it live up to the hype?
St Petersburg, March 1914: Avrom Rozental has travelled to the city to take part in the World Chess Championship. Due to the fragility of his mental state, his minders have referred him to Dr Otto Spethmann, a renowned psychoanalyst. A widower with an adolescent daughter, Dr Spethmann is becoming overly involved with a new patient, Anna Petrovna, a society beauty and daughter of the powerful Zinnurov, nicknamed The Mountain. The psychoanalyst is also a chess player, engaged in a remote game with his friend and celebrated musician, Reuven Kopelzon, who he has never yet defeated. He considers himself one step removed from politics, until his office is raided and he and his daughter imprisoned on suspicion of concealing information in relation to a dual murder.
Zugzwang is a term used in chess to refer to the state in which a player is reduced to utter helplessness, obliged to move, yet every move is guaranteed to make his position worse. Replete with parallels between the logic of the game, the practice of psychoanalysis and the sociopolitical shenanigans of a country on the brink of revolution, there are many zugzwangs in the novel, leading to a climax in which Dr Spethmann is faced with an impossible choice between different kinds of love.

Is it ok to use the Heatsink (Official one) without the paste or Thermal Heatsink Copper Pad ?
Just seems a little permanent thats all ?
No it is not ok.
You MUST put something in between to ensure good contact.
The disadvantage is of course that you can't reach the eMMC when the heatsink is on.
Not can't, but it is tricky. I use a very small flathead screwdriver to lift up EMMC module and to push it down on the contacts. If careful you can do this successfully. It is a pain though and it would be nice to have easier access to the EMMC section.
You can reuse thermal pads. But they work a lot worse than good thermal paste. Difference can be up to 10°C.
The reason why you better not do it without a thermal pad or thermal paste is because then it's possible that only a few small places make contact, what will make other spots a lot hotter(hotspots), and so it can burn your SoC.
So better not to use a heatsink than if you're not using something in between. That's less harm.
"So If I ever needed remove the sink would it just pull apart and then do i clean it and reapply ? Clean with what or how … " ??
I would take isopropyl alcohol 90% to rub off the last remnants of the thermal paste.
Once the M.2 adapter is installed for the NVMe SSD, the eMMC is no longer accessible w/o removing the heatsink AND M.2 adapter. The M.2 adapter sits on ~1/3 of the eMMC module.
Lesson learned: Don't assemble M.2 adapter nor heatsink (especially compound) until the eMMC has successfully booted… like I did.
Someday, I may attempt OTG transfer, as others have suggested. But, I need more Linux experience and will settle for uSD boot in the meantime.

UK Indymedia | Police attack on Parliament Square Peace Campaign.
11 Police have just attacked the Parliament Square Peace Campaigners, fraudulently claiming power under s17 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE).
At about 1455hrs this afternoon, 11 police in a van and two cars (one of the cars being from the diplomatic protection group), blocked off the road between parliament and the peace campaigners in the square while the 11 criminals, apparently led by a sergeant steele, leapt into the tents despite continued protests from the campaigners that section 17 was only a power of entry for the purpose of arrest.
During the assault on the campaign, Brian Haw, Barbara Tucker and The Ninja Ant valiantly tried to prevent the continuing crimes by the police and eventually managed to force them to run away after Brian and Barbara arrested sergeant steele. steele, who appears to be the senior criminal at the scene, escaped with the aid of the other criminals and is currently unlawfully at large in the area around westminster.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of this man should 'inform the police'! (are you kidding?). He should not be approached as he is part of a much larger organised crime syndicate based at new scotland yard, and may be considered armed and dangerous, his mental capacity has not yet been fully established but his criminal intent has been established during this incident.
This form of illegal harassment will be well known to most protesters, and has continued on the Parliament Square Peace Campaigners over many years.
(Unusually, the bbc webcam recorded the incident, and more, with refreshes at 4-5 minute intervals rather than the more common 20 minute updates).
Police return to arrest Barbara - the victimisation continues.
CCTV Shots - first police attack.
At around 1610hrs the criminal police returned to the square, clearly not satisfied with their failed earlier attempt to incite trouble, and are now attempting to arrest Barbara Tucker.
More information will follow when possible. The cctv pics are from the earlier incident.
Barbara has been arrested, Brian is currently filming for evidence. Brian has confirmed that he was assaulted by the police trying to prevent him from filming. Barbara was arrested and handcuffed in rear cuffs, it seems for reporting the crime to other police officers (this is not a new one). Barbara's 'arresting' officer said that "i'd like to kill the c*nt, Ant" referring to The Ninja Ant while he was putting Barbara in the back of the police van. Brian has reported this to the Inspector in charge.
Brian and Ant remain in the square, but to let them get down to belgravia police station, if you can help out by coming down and lending your support and protection it would be much appreciated.


Environmental Effects of Sand and Gravel Mining on Land and Soil .The increase in the demand for sand and gravel for construction and other purposes such as flood control has placed immense pressure on the environment where sand and gravel resources occur. This study was carried out to determine the environmental effects of sand and gravel mining in Luku, North central Nigeria,.sand and gravel mining,Gravel pit - WikipediaOld, abandoned gravel pits are normally used either as nature reserves, or as amenity areas for water sports, landfills and walking. In addition, many gravel pits in the United Kingdom have been stocked with freshwater fish such as the common carp to create coarse fishing locations. Gravel and sand are mined for concrete,.
Sand and gravel deposits found on beaches or in rivers and streams, are mostly quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO2) grains. Weathering of rocks . Relation to Mining. Industrial sand mining methods are contingent on deposit type. Unconsolidated deposits are mined using front-end loaders, scrapers, or bulldozers. Material is dug.

Sand and Gravel Mining Industry | Additional Information | TPCP .
When rocks erode out of the Rocky Mountains and are carried downstream by streams and rivers, they break apart making sand and gravel. The sand and gravel settles out of the water and form the river bed. As the river channel moves across the landscape, the sand and gravel (aggregate) deposits are left behind.
SAND AND GRAVEL MINING for AGGREGATE Sand and gravel are crucial resources to economic development activities, such as road building and concrete production. Construction of one mile of four-lane interstate highway requires 85,000 tons of aggregate; the average six room house requires 90 tons. "Aggregate" is.
Sand and gravel mining impact on the surface water quality: a case .
The water resources in Turkey are under immense pressure due to various kinds of anthropogenic activities among which sand and gravel mining is the most disastrous one due to its adverse.
This sand and gravel are mined world-wide and account for the largest volume of solid material extracted globally and the highest volume of raw material used on earth after water (about 70-80% of the 50 billion tons material mined/year). Formed by erosive processes over thousands of years, they are now being extracted.
Abstract.--The extent and general areas of sand and gravel mining in riparian habitats along Colorado streams and rivers is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the Colorado Front Range mines, but Western Colorado sand and gravel mining is also discussed. The similarities and differences between the areas are presented.
