Coolsculpting is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction that removes fat from areas on the body by utilising controlled cooling to remove fat. This is an FDA and TGA cleared procedure that has no downtime, so regular activities may be performed after the procedure has taken place. The Coolsculupting treatment is ideal for those who want to get rid of stubborn unwanted fat from their body which exercise and dieting has not been able to help. Typically, this applies to those that are within 5 to 10 kilograms of their targeted weight goal. This procedure was not designed for those that are excessively overweight. It should not be performed on anyone that suffers from Cryoglobulinemia or Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria. It was created by scientist at Harvard for persons looking to lose stomach fat. Over 1.5 million treatments have been performed worldwide.
Cooling technology is used to effectively and gently target fat in specific areas on the body. The fat will be eliminated with no incisions or anesthesia. An applicator will be applied to the skin's surface, delivering controlled cooling to the treatment area. The fat cells will be eliminated through the body's natural metabolic process. None of the fat cells will be burned or shattered, nor will the cells be extracted. The skin cells will remain healthy as only the fat cells will be frozen to the point of elimination.
After one session of Coolsculpting, results of fat loss can be seen. It will take the body a few months to produce the full effect, as it will take the body this long to eliminate the fat cells. Within a period of 4 months, the treated area will decrease in size. After 4 months, another session may be performed.
What areas on the body can Coolsculpting be used?
Coolsculpting can be used on the abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, flanks, and the arms.
Is there pain associated with Coolsculpting?
Intense cold and pressure can be felt during a session. This does not last very long. The procedure may cause tingling to the skin. Some patients have reported not feeling anything at all. Anesthetic or medications before and after the treatment can be offered.
Are there any side effects? What are the benefits?
Side effects include redness of the treatment area, tingling, stinging, a little pain, swelling, and bruising. These are only seen for a short amount of time.
Convenient- The procedure will be based off the area that is being treated, so treatment may take 1 hour or more. It is often performed during lunch hours, so the patient can return back to work. Napping, reading a book or magazine, or doing work on a laptop is often done during the procedure, as the patient is allowed to either sit up or lay down.
Visible results- Results are seen in as little as 4 weeks after the treatment.
No surgery or downtime- Unlike the tummy tuck or liposuction, Coolsculpting does not involve any knives or surgical time. Exercising and daily activities can be performed immediately after treatment.
How does Coolsculpting compare to liposuction and tummy tucks?
Coolsculpting does not have as fast of results as liposuction or a tummy tuck. Coolsculpting will remove between 25 to 30% of fat in the desired treatment area, while liposuction can remove 60 to 75% fat. More treatments will be needed to remove the same amount of fat from the Coolsculpting procedure, and not all areas of the body can be done, such as the chin. Tummy tucks do not have limits on how much fat is removed from the tummy.
I have had a tummy tuck before, but have gained some of my weight back. It is hard for me to lose it. I want to know, if I have had a tummy tuck done, can I have Coolsculpting done on my tummy? Are there any dangers associated with having both of them done? I had the tummy tuck done about 5 years ago.
I have been contemplating having something done for my fat that I can not get rid of. I have never heard of Coolsculpting before, only liposuction. I really do not want to have to go under the knife for this, as I have never had surgery before and the whole thought just scares me. Plus I have heard a few horror stories about liposuction. This article has helped me see that there are other options for me besides being put under to help me get rid of my excessive fat. Very informative in nature and really sways me into looking more into this option.
Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my results with tummy tucks. I had one done two years ago and would not recommend it to anyone. I am now scarred because of it, which really bothers me. I also got an infection in the wound, which was not really fun to deal with. But at the time I did not know anything about this Coolsculpting procedure, or else I might have opted to go this route. I would really urge anyone that wants or is considering a tummy tuck to carefully weigh their options. The tummy tuck cost wound up being a lot more than just money to me.
I have done a session of Coolsculpting. I did not feel much pain at all. I had my love handles done as they were stubborn and I was not finding a way to lose them. My treatment took about 70 minutes. During the procedure, I got caught up on my reading. I noticed results in about 3 weeks. I am happy with the procedure and would recommend it to anyone. If you want something that is fast, easy and convenient, without having the downtime associated with it, then Coolsculpting could be for you.
I wish I would have known about Coolsculpting last year. I had liposuction done on my stomach. While the results were good, I did not like having the downtime and recovery associated with it. I would much rather have a procedure done that did not involve going under the knife. If I ever need a treatment again on my stomach, I will have to look more into this technique.
I've been interested in learning more about Coolsculpting since hearing it over the radio. I have been looking online for options on how to lose stomach fat. I have had 4 children and put on some weight with each of them. I am not obese in any way, but am having trouble losing a few kilos. I exercise daily, and eat right, but no matter how many crunches I do, the fat is still there. I can't afford surgery and frankly I'm afraid of it. I am wondering how effective this cool sculpting treatment really is, has anyone done it? Any places in Sydney you can recommend? I'm based in the inner west.
I went to a clinic in Bondi Junction for a Coolsculpting consultation but I was quoted a huge amount of money, which i simply could not afford. I then came across Advanced Dermatology doing my Christmas shopping at the Bondi Westfield and they offer the same treatment for half the price. It's been a couple months now and just after 1 treatment I am seeing amazing results. I highly recommend contacting these guys to try out their Cool Lipo treatment. It worked wonders for me and it's literally half the price I was quoted for Coolsulpting.. which is the same treatment!
What's the difference between Coolsculpting and Clatuu? There seems to be a lot of buzz around Coolsculpting but I wonder if clatuu is the same treatment for much less?
I had clatuu and I'm really impressed with the results I've seen so far (it's only been a month post 1st treatment). I'm not sure if coolsculpting is as effective, but from my understanding they use the same technology.

Computer Science Classes Degrees: Utah Colleges
Looking for accredited career colleges, technical schools, and universities in Utah offering Computer Science degrees. Computer science or computing science, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and their implementation and application in computer systems.
The Golden Spike linking the eastern and western segments of the Great Transcontinental Railway was driven into the railroad ties in Promontory Summit, Utah, linking East and West on May 10, 1869. And that's just one of the historic facts that will make your days at a Utah college or university interesting. Utah has a long and vibrant history, starting with tens of thousands of years of Native American settlement. The long wagon trains moving Americans west in the Gold Rush and beyond crossed Utah, and perhaps its most celebrated settlers were the Mormons, who found sanctuary at last in 1846, after many years of continued exile and oppression as they wandered across the country.
Today, the strong influence of the significant Mormon population makes Utah an industrious and self-reliant state, where neighbors look out for neighbors, and everyone does their best to make strangers feel welcome. Attending college in Utah is likely to be a memorable and valuable experience.
Utah Colleges: Computer Science Degrees
Computer science, or computing science, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. As a computer science degree candidates you can use your knowledge and creativity to write new video games or websites, design computer animation, or even create original software for businesses and other organizations that tell computers what to do. For instance you could write a program that helps a business track the sales of certain types of products.
Learning computer programming will prepare you to write and design computer software as well as design programs that can perform specific tasks. In any computer programming program, you will learn various computer languages as well as software installation and maintenance. In addition you will learn about database management and computer networks, and how to ?debug? your programs, meaning that you will learn how to test them for errors before they go into use. Programs in computer science also usually require you to take several courses in computer science.
Most community colleges, technical colleges and vocational schools offer programs in computer science programming ranging from one to two years. These programs are designed to prepare you for jobs as entry-level computer programmers. It is common, however, for employers to require you to have at least a bachelor's degree in computer programming to gain entry-level positions in the field. Because of this, most two-year degrees can be transferred to four-year colleges and universities that offer bachelor's degree programs in computer science. These programs focus on programming methods for collecting, organizing, processing and disseminating information. Certificate programs in computer programming are also often available. These are usually for people who already have a bachelor's degree in a related field or who have professional computer experience. In addition, several colleges offer graduate degrees in computer science. Typically these take two to five years after you finish your bachelor's degree. Most people with graduate degrees in computer programming become high-level administrators or professors. As a graduate of one of any of these programs you will have a broad base of knowledge in computer languages that will enable you to apply in business activities.

AutoComplete: BMW pulls the wraps off the new 3 Series in Paris
Notification on
Notification off
Here's what making news on Road Show. A while ago, our man, Steven Ewing, went to Germany to drive a camouflage version of the new three series. And when he got back, he had some good things to say about how well it performed. Well, now that BMW pulled the wraps off the G20 series in Paris. We kind of get what he was talking about. It's good looking. And while we're bummed it won't be available with a manual transmission for the first time ever, we're still looking forward to getting some seat time. Remember that scene in Independence Day when the government tries to talk to the aliens with the flashing lights on a helicopter, and then it gets blown up? Yeah, apparently Ford remembers that too, becuase that's exactly what it's proposing. Is a means of allowing autonomous cars to signal their intentions to pedestrians and other cars. Hopefully it works better for the blue oval than it did for the helicopter. Mazda is, in car company terms, pretty small. This means that developing things like electric vehicles and hybrid tech are prohibitively expensive for them. But despite that, Mazda has committed to 5% of its sales being electric by 2030. That's cool and all, but the best part of it's electrification plans is the return of the rotary engine as a range extender for EVs. But that must be right around the corner from seeing a new RX model right? Right? Find more on these stories on theroadshow.com, and we'll talk to you tomorrow.

← Who has Nietzsche got in his bracket?
What if… adversarial relations are good in their own right?
So far in this blog we've had a lot of discussion about the ethical nature of adversarial interactions, and much of it has revolved around the moral acceptability of certain potentially shady practices – whether in business, law, sports, or politics. The easiest way to justify some of these dubious practices is to point out how the entire system, or "game," in which they operate has better overall consequences than its non-adversarial alternatives.
The 19th-century German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, was no fan of such philistine Anglo-Saxon consequentialism. He turned the stone tablets upside down and asks an entirely different question: could adversarial institutions be morally justified solely on the grounds that their competitive nature is something of intrinsic moral value?
In addition to Nietzsche, perhaps we could look to Hegel for a moral foundation for conflict and argument as well. I haven't studied his work in any real depth but the idea of the dialectic seems to fit the bill. The very basic idea of the dialectic is there is inherent moral value in argument or discussion between two points of view because there will eventually be a synthesis that is closer to the meta-idea of ultimate truth (or God as they used to say). This makes intuitive sense as well. If two open minded people are discussing an idea that they have different views on and come to a new conception of that idea, whether that is one of the original ideas or a hybrid of the two, the process seems to ensure that there is a greater value to the resulting idea than the original ones in terms of truth.
Arguably most people aren't all that open minded and debate in the real world and the dialectic may seem like more of an idealized kumbaya type evaluation. Nonetheless I think its widely applicable and defensible both empirically and theoretically and can contribute to our conception of inherent moral value in adversarial institutions.
When trying to maneuver the liminality of adversarial ethics, it is difficult to remain oblivious of Adam Smith's notion the self-serving nature of competition. Thus, I do not believe the question is whether adversarial ethics should be looked at as moral because they are inevitable, but instead will humans be able to cope with the idea that no hope for true morality exists? Instead, we should accept the unacceptable that has become a major part of competition, despite its affects on the many realms of society: politics, markets, and games.


The work shadow experience was extremely beneficial and prompted me to carry out additional research to narrow my future focus in the digital world. I would certainly recommend the experience and encourage future students to grab all these opportunities offered through Tech Partnership Degrees.
James Weston is studying the BSc IT Management for Business (ITMB) degree course at the University of Chichester, accredited by industry through Tech Partnership Degrees. The Tech Industry Gold degree course has given him the opportunity to work shadow Andy Cripps, Technical Services Director, at Quicksilva.
As the summer drew to an end and a new term began, we caught up with James to find out what he had learned. Here is his story.
'During the summer I had the pleasure of work shadowing the team at Quicksilva, an organisation that provides a diverse range of services and solutions, from integration and managed services to bespoke software solutions, with a large proportion of their work focussing on the NHS.
I was given the opportunity of spending a day work shadowing at Quicksilva after attending the Tech Partnership Degrees student/employer event when my degree team from The University of Chichester presented a project idea, on smart cities, to a panel of industry judges. We secured the second place against some tough competition. It was shortly after the presentation when I discovered I had won an individual prize to work shadow an industry leader. The reason why I had been selected was based on impressing the panel of judges on my knowledge and use of data science and analytics.
Prior to the visit at Quicksilva, I was immediately impressed with the excellent level of communication and support I received. They had thoroughly planned the day to ensure that I got the very most from the experience. The plan was based on a discussion with the director which focused on specific areas of interest to me.
On arrival I was greeted by Andy Cripps, Technical Services Director, followed by an introduction, meeting the team and discussing the day's plans. I also met with Gayna Hart, Managing Director. I was given the opportunity to observe a scrum meeting which was based on Agile methodologies. I was impressed by the inter-organisational collaboration and partnership working. It was good to see how a small, focused team of differing specialities was able to openly discuss progress, challenges and bounce ideas off each other with support from the leadership team.
It was insightful to experience other meetings too, such as an update meeting with the service manager, a customer update meeting and a project progress meeting. It was interesting to see how different management techniques were utilised and how the company faced internal and external challenges and reflected on successes. I was particularly pleased that the team sought my input and thoughts and provided plenty of scope for questions.
Aside from the structured meetings, I was able to speak with the team between schedules, having one-to-one discussions with developers, engineers, and project managers. I really gained valuable insights into the specialist skills required providing such an array of solutions and services. I found it especially beneficial to learn about the relationships between hardware, software, legislation and current infrastructure, as well as DevOps, upcoming popular development languages, platforms, and network architectures.
The experience was extremely beneficial and prompted me to carry out additional research to narrow my future focus in the digital world. I would certainly recommend the experience and encourage future students to grab all these opportunities offered through Tech Partnership Degrees.
The work shadowing experience was made possible by Tech Partnership Degrees and Quicksilva.

Hobby Shop: Arent Fox Lawyers Show Life Beyond the Law
At Arent Fox, lawyers have a "life outside the law." Or at least that's what a new section on the firm's Web site boasts.
By Emma Schwartz | December 19, 2005 at 12:00 AM | The original version of this story was published on Legal Times
Pinstripe suits. Briefcases. Long hours in a stuffy conference room. If these are the types of images that come to mind when you think about a law firm, think again. At Arent Fox, lawyers have a "life outside the law." Or at least that's what a new section on the firm's Web site boasts. Who knew, for instance, that estate planning partner Holly Bastian is an instrument-rated private pilot? That labor and employment partner Stephen Yohay has played keyboard in a local "oldies" rock �n' roll band for more than 25 years? Or that IP partner William Marames is one of only a small number of individuals who speak Vlach, the language of a people who lived mainly in the Balkan Mountains of what is today Greece and Albania? "All of us feel that we are more than just a r�sum� with our practice areas on it," says Marc Fleischaker, firm chair. Not every attorney posts hobbies. And Fleischaker is the first to concede that his hobbies — golfing, running, and watching the Washington Wizards — are rather mundane. Still, he says, even if it doesn't bring extra business, "it gives you a better sense of the person." But at least one partner, Alan Reider, chair of the firm's health care practice, makes no bones about his lawyerly lifestyle. "Alan," his bio states, "has no life beyond the law."

Jack Kocher
Jack Kocher spent his life celebrating music!
After attending Bowling Green State University, Kocher served with the Army Band in Europe during World War II and studied piano at the Paris Conservatory of Music.
He taught clarinet, saxophone and flute and was credited as orchestrating the music programs at the Berea, OH schools during the 1960s and 70s — making sure that students were offered a balanced curriculum of choral and instrument music.
Kocher's "spare" time was filled with being a church choir director, director-accompanist for the West Shore Pops Chorale, and musical director for Berea Summer Theatre productions and the Beck Center Teen and Children's Theatre School in Lakewood, OH. It was there that Kocher co-wrote Pioneer's musical version of The Princess and the Pea. Jack was proud that the script had been performed throughout the United States.
Just when others his age were settling down, Kocher opened his own piano tuning and repair business, often giving impromptu concerts to demonstrate that his job was done and done well.
Jack Kocher passed away in 1999.

Sand castle competition is an event that is enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Atlantic City hosted second annual sand castle competition in early July 2014. It is known as sand sculpting world cup and runs under the slogan "DO AC". Many sand sculpture artists from around the world came to Atlantic City Beach. AC has perfect venue for this – great sandy beach and beautiful Atlantic City boardwalk for easy access.
Many sand artists compete in sand sculpture competitions every year and this was a good opportunity for them to exhibit their sand art to a large audience. There were sculpture artists from USA, Canada, India, Russia, Netherlands, Italy etc. The sand castle competition was free for visitors and was centrally located near Steel Pier and in front of Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino.
It is worth mentioning too that Atlantic City beach is the only free beach in New Jersey and therefore it is very popular summer destination for both visitors and locals. AC sand castle competition was a great occasion to enjoy Atlantic city beach, take great beach pictures. These summer pictures will be excellent addition to any photo gallery and will remind us about summer.
Sand Sculpting toolbox. regular forks and spoons are popular among sand artists.


As aging in place professionals, we know there is a growing interest in people wanting to remain in their homes over time. We also know that many of those homes need some modifications to make them safer and more enjoyable for those who live in them.
One of our challenges is keeping consumers from being unduly influenced by articles and news releases that scare them into thinking that the work needed to enhance their living space is too expensive and too intense for them to consider. As a result, they are inclined to do nothing or they end up moving – both contrary to the objective we seek.
The articles are probably not intended to be scary but they illustrate improvements that may not be necessary or advisable for many people. Also, they present budgets that are out of context. Telling people that they need to plan on spending up to $40,000 for a bathroom remodel – without ever seeing what they have now, the relative condition and age of it, what they require in terms of a viable space, and what their physical needs are – is both unrealistic and irresponsible.
Remember that we want to refrain from giving high estimates when we don't know exactly what needs to be done. This is precisely what is being done in these articles that are becoming more prevalent online and in-print. While the thought might be that people want an indication of what a remodel might entail, a large 5-figure number will do nothing but frighten them into inaction unless they are living in a large, fairly expensive home already and have a significant income or savings account.
While it is true that a $40,000 or more investment, when compared to upwards of $100,000 annually to move into a retirement center or nursing home, is a bargain, it still has to be framed properly and make sense. Just presented as a supposedly authoritative number that someone might spend on a renovation is a major disconnect with consumers that need our services and have a more modest budget in mind (if they have even given any thought about what something might cost). They might only need to spend a tenth of that. We'd have to evaluate each case to determine what is needed and how extensive it is.
Seeing big numbers like this is a little like someone reading that they need to plan on spending $30,000 for a new car. Do new cars run this much? Yes, and even more. Can a new car be obtained for less? Yes to that also. How about a well-maintained used car? Even less. So, that number means nothing until we know what our customers want to achieve and actually need – in purchasing a car or in contemplating a renovation.
The real danger is not in telling someone that a potential renovation might cost that much – when it really could, based on our assessment and evaluation – it's that there is no way for someone to make intelligent plans for their future well-being based on a number just floated out there without any context.
When consumers who need our services, but may be quite budget-conscious about undertaking them, read that a large expenditure might be required – without ever comparing or relating that number to what they actually need or require – they may just shut down and determine not to make any changes – or to even make the effort to reach out to us to learn what really will help them and for how much. They rationalize that they can't afford to do anything and that they have been managing OK so far.
Consumers have a lot to process when it comes to changes they might need or require and then who to use to make it happen and how to pay for it. There might be some price reluctance, and when there is, we need to know how to shift gears and get the absolute minimum done with people. We can't let price be a reason for people coping with unsafe or unhealthy conditions.

Henriette Marie von der Pfalz (* 17. Juli 1626 in Den Haag; † 18. September 1651 in Sárospatak) war eine Prinzessin von der Pfalz, Titular-Pfalzgräfin bei Rhein und durch Heirat Gräfin von Mongatsch.

Leben
Henriette Marie war eine Tochter des Kurfürsten Friedrich V. von der Pfalz (1596–1632) aus dessen Ehe mit Elisabeth Stuart (1596–1662), Tochter des Königs Jakob I. von England. Die als vielseitig begabt beschriebene Prinzessin wuchs zunächst in Leiden, dann am Hof ihrer Mutter in Den Haag auf. Später wurde Henriette Marie an den Hof ihrer Tante, der Kurfürstin Elisabeth Charlotte von Brandenburg nach Crossen an der Oder gegeben.

Sie heiratete am 26. Juni 1651 in Sárospatak den Prinzen Sigismund Rákóczi (1622–1652), Graf von Mongatsch (Munkatsch), einem jüngeren Sohn des Fürsten Georg I. Rákóczi von Siebenbürgen. Henriette Marie hatte sich heftig gegen diese Ehe gewehrt und in zahlreichen Briefen an ihren Bruder um Hilfe ersucht, wo sie versprach alles zu tun, um ihren "Dienst an den Geschwistern" zu leisten, und bezweifelte, ob dieses Eheprojekt wirklich dynastisch zweckdienlich sei. Henriette soll seinerzeit "krank vor Betrübnis" gewesen sein und permanent geweint haben. Aber schließlich setzte sich die brandenburgische Kurfürstin durch, deren wesentliche Argumente darin bestanden, dass der Siebenbürger über 200 Diener und 50 Höflinge sowie zahlreiche Festungen verfüge, außerdem lasse er sein ganzes Haus von Silbergeschirr speisen; unter den evangelischen Fürsten sei er die beste Partie.

Henriette Marie starb plötzlich, erst 25-jährig, nur wenige Monate nach der Vermählung und gerade in Siebenbürgen angekommen, ohne Kinder geboren zu haben. Auf ihrer Reise von Krossen über Schlesien, Polen und Ungarn nach Siebenbürgen wurde sie von dem brandenburgischen Kammerherren Ulrich Wenzel begleitet. Ihrem Bruder, dem Kurfürsten Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz hatte sie noch in einem Brief berichtet: "Die gutte leütt haben wohl grosse sorg undt wolten es wol gerren alles gar gutt machen und muss ich sagen, das sie von mich bis auff den geringsten meiner diener sorg vordragen, das sie mit allem versehen mögen sein, ich beken das ich bei der nation, welche mich allezeit wie eine barbarische ist beschrieben worden, so vill sivilite nicht gesugt hatte, als ich hie bey ihnen sehe."

Henriette Marie wurde in der Kathedrale St. Michael in Weißenburg bestattet.

Mental health and spiritual power
A Christian Science perspective: Why love is particularly needed in the treatment of mental illness.
By Margaret Rogers
The good news in this week's cover story is that there's some progress in destigmatizing mental illness as someone's fault. It's also encouraging to see that mental health care that emphasizes the dignity of each individual has a positive effect beyond what medication can do. Considering the whole person rather than simply focusing on treating the disease, having a nonjudgmental attitude, and giving people as much freedom as possible to make their own decisions are expressions of love that evoke good response in any type of health care.
It's useful to probe a bit deeper into why love is particularly needed in the treatment of mental illness. No matter how disturbed people's ability to reason may be, they relate to love on a different level from reason. Even in the middle of tragedy, people are grateful when a stranger hugs them. Love calms and comforts naturally.
Still, when no amount of human love is adequate to deal with serious mental disorder, there's a stronger love to call on. Spiritually considered, love is the very core of existence, the intelligence and power that causes everything to be. We can define Love as the universal Mind, the reality many call God. Divine Love is independent of the brain. It expresses itself constantly throughout creation. Everyone's true identity is in fact the expression of infinite Love.
These insights can't be confirmed by conventional scientific methodology. One grasps them in a different way from human reason. But knowledge of them is practical in healing oneself and others, and this knowledge can be gained through the study and practice of spiritual teaching. When Jesus said, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do" (John 5:19), this can be understood to mean each of us is inseparable from the perfect Mind, the loving Father and Mother of all. This relationship gives the ability to act reasonably and lovingly, an ability that can't be lost.
As a Christian Science practitioner who treats people through prayer, I've found that these spiritual truths have strengthened my conviction that healing, not just managing, mental disorders is possible. Labeling a disease and grading its curability can make people feel like victims of something beyond their control. But the knowledge that divine Love creates us perfectly and loves us unfailingly puts a rock of assurance under efforts to heal disease. It has helped me and many colleagues over the years to put down fear and blame for the afflicted and their families and to persist in bringing out the health that's God-ordained.
The mental health care system needs help. Good care should be the norm, not the exception. When Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21), could he have been pointing to the ability to heal ourselves and others spiritually that is always accessible? Referring to that statement, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, wrote: "Know, then, that you possess sovereign power to think and act rightly, and that nothing can dispossess you of this heritage and trespass on Love" ("Pulpit and Press," p. 3).

Students Say Room Scans During Online Tests Are Invasive. Now a Judge Agrees.
By Taylor Swaak
Harry Haysom for The Chronicle
A federal district-court judge ruled on Monday that room scans — a component of many online-proctoring services — violate the Constitution.
Judge J. Philip Calabrese of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio sided with the plaintiff in a ruling that's been described by some legal observers as injecting a note of caution about the use of the controversial softwares, which exploded during the pandemic. The plaintiff, a Cleveland State University student, was asked to perform a brief scan of his bedroom in early 2021 before taking a remote test. That student argued that the request violated his Fourth Amendment rights, which include protections from "unreasonable searches."
Many colleges and universities have asserted that online-proctoring software is necessary to safeguard academic integrity and curb cheating among students who are taking tests remotely. While acknowledging Cleveland State's "legitimate purpose" in doing so, the judge maintained that the student's "expectation of privacy [at home] is one that society views as reasonable and that lies at the core of the Fourth Amendment's protections against governmental intrusion."
The decision challenged the university's arguments, which included statements that room scans are "standard industrywide practice," and that students "frequently acquiesce in their use."
Colleges nationwide should be paying close attention to this ruling, as it could be relevant to different learning modalities and ways of delivering instruction, said Joshua D. Nolan, a higher-education attorney and partner at Bricker & Eckler LLP.
"It's maybe the first case that deals with proctoring software and this Fourth Amendment issue," he said. And it relates to "both hybrid-learning environments and online-learning environments. It's important for a lot of different audiences."
What the decision itself means to colleges nationally, said lawyers contacted by The Chronicle, has less to do with regulations and more with the unspoken message it carries: "Slow down." Institutions that use proctoring software, they said, should refer to this court ruling as an "instructional" tool as they evaluate their existing policies and approaches: How, and why, are they using online-proctoring tools and requiring certain functions?
"If your prior thinking was, 'We think we need it and we think there's a good reason for needing it, therefore we can do it' — there is now at least one federal court that says, 'Nuh uh, that's not the standard,'" said Chad Marlow, senior policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The big message from it is that just because a student is enrolled at your university does not mean that they have surrendered their privacy rights."
This is especially the case, he added, in the absence of data proving proctoring measures such as room scans curtail cheating — something the judge addressed in his ruling. "The reasonableness of the intrusion is going to be sharply reduced if you cannot submit proof that the surveillance actually works," Marlow said.
The judge also wrote that online proctoring wasn't the only way for the university to protect academic integrity. "Without question, other procedural safeguards would advance the same purposes — indeed, Cleveland State employs some of them," he wrote. They include alternatives to tests, like assigning a final project or paper, which "might minimize or eliminate the need for remote scans." Privacy advocates have also suggested open-book exams and honor codes.
Another takeaway from the ruling is that it offers students more tangible support for their complaints.
While the use of online-proctoring companies like ProctorU, Honorlock, and Proctorio exploded during the pandemic, they've since come under fire for a host of reasons, including allegations of racial bias and cybersecurity risks. There are dozens of student-led petitions on Change.org that have called for their removal in the past, including those from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and Washington State University.
"Does [the ruling] increase the risk that students who are concerned about this could point to this case? Absolutely," Nolan said. "Does it create a circumstance where we now have some Fourth Amendment case law tied to this type of service? Yes."
Still, lawyers noted that it'd be premature to make assumptions about any broad legal applications.
For one, any ruling drawing on the Constitution and Fourth Amendment applies only to public colleges, because they are considered part of the government. Nolan said the court decision is also very "fact specific" to the student's particular case; for example, for health reasons, the student, Aaron Ogletree, was not able to test in person and therefore didn't have alternative options available. Nolan did point out, though, that the judge's focus on the home as a private place invites further discussion, as it's become a more common learning environment for students.
Cleveland State has not signaled whether it will appeal the decision. According to Monday's ruling, the parties have until September 12 to submit a "short joint status report" on the status of proposed remediation to the judge.
The university wrote in a statement that its counsel "will confer with [the plaintiff's] counsel on appropriate next steps. Ensuring academic integrity is essential to our mission and will guide us as we move forward. While this matter remains in active litigation, we are unable to comment further."

Home Entertainment Top 5 Netflix Original Movies of All Time
Top 5 Netflix Original Movies of All Time
Netflix is one of the OTT platforms that no one can bet against when it comes to the collection of shows and movies. They were the first enterprise to involve themselves in making big-budgeted Netflix Original Movies.
Over the past couple of years, they have been consistent with their content which has been liked and maintained an audience globally. But there are some of the gems produced by Netflix which are still one of the best of all times, both critically and through viewers' perspective.
Some of the best Netflix Original movies are as follows:
The Irishmen
The Irishmen is one of the longest movies not only on Netflix but on the whole cinema platform. The three hours and thirty-minute movie is a crime drama and will take you through the life of a simple truck driver who turned into a top hit man, the king of Mafias, and how his life alters with all that.
A must watch for those who like good storylines and can wait longer for the story is not compromise here at all due to being short on time.
Bird Box is Sandra Bullock's masterpiece and it is one of the most critically acclaimed films on Netflix's platform.
Now the storyline will take you into a universe where something strange is decapitating everyone and the only option you have is to avoid it and go in hiding while making sure, that even if you come face to face, you seldom not see the thing in their eyes or…
Well! the story is great and they deserve an A+ for the cinematography as well.
The platform is a Netflix original movie that is a metaphorical depiction of the class system or capitalism spread globally.
In the movie, you'll get to see jail chambers which are built vertically upwards and when the food arrives, it goes first to the one's present above, and then what's left is thrown down to the other.
A classic watch which might make you move internally from the level of hidden metaphors they've used throughout the movie, upon which you cannot do anything but relate it with some real-world scenarios.

Extraction might be one of the most popular movies on Netflix's platform as it features the hunk, Chris Hemsworth. The action-packed movie is based on the life of a black market mercenary who's on a mission to extract an important kid from another country and take him back safely to his homeplace.
Now, being a Chris Hemsworth movie you can expect a great deal of blood, gore, mess, and well! a lot of fistfights, which are in a nutshell, quite awesome.
If you want to watch something funny Netflix original movies then this must be your choice as it has the two very famous duos who shared screens for a comedic role, Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler. They are actually real-life friends and share a deep connection which actually showed when you'll see their chemistry in this movie.
The movie will take you on a journey into the life of a cop and his wife who moved out to Europe for vacation but were allegedly caught for the murder of an elderly billionaire. Now they have to solve the mystery of who actually killed the guy before being caught by the police themselves.

Guns N' Roses have recently re-incorporated "Estranged" back into their live set -- perhaps spurred on by our readers choosing it as their favorite Use Your Illusion song -- and video has surfaced of the band performing it live in Argentina last month. You can check out the footage below.
Guns N' Roses are currently on their first U.S. tour since 2006.
The band have also recently garnered a nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, with many fans waiting to see if the original lineup of the band will appear together if the band is indeed given the nod.

Toxic Myth
William Tucker | From the September 1984 issue
The Apocalyptics: Cancer and the Big Lie, by Edith Efron, New York: Simon & Schuster, 512 pp., $19.95
This is a story that has to be told. It is one of the most extraordinary scientific scandals in decades. Years from now, our descendants may look at it in the same way we look back at the Salem witch trials.
It begins in the early 1960s when a diligent British scientist named John Higginson surveyed world disease patterns to see how cancer occurs. His object was to settle the dispute about whether cancer is a "hereditary" disease, carried in our genes, or whether it is initiated by factors in the environment.
After completing his study, Higginson came down emphatically on the side of environmental causation. All around the world, he noted, cancer patterns could be traced to local conditions and customs. In Southeast Asia, for example, those who chewed betel nuts suffered very high rates of mouth and throat cancer. Chinese peasants who often ate food "garnished" with bacterial molds suffered high rates of stomach cancer. A common cancer in Africa, called Burkitt's lymphoma, was obviously tied to the incidence of malaria.
Cancer, Higginson announced, is 90 percent an "environmental disease," meaning that about 90 percent of the initiating agents come from outside our body (the other 10 percent are probably caused by our own hormones). The genetic argument had been thoroughly refuted.
Fine and good. What Higginson could not anticipate, however, was that the United States was about to be overrun with a social movement called "environmentalism," which was to concern itself with air and water pollution, toxic chemicals, and the by-products of industry.
And try as they would, Higginson and others could not prevent these same "environmentalists" from claiming that it was what they meant by "the environment"—the products of an industrial society—that was causing "90 percent of all cancers." Thus, by 1976, Newsweek magazine was declaring that "it's now generally accepted that 60 to 90 percent of all human cancer is caused by man-made toxic chemicals" (emphasis added)—a proposition essentially made up out of thin air.
In The Apocalyptics, Edith Efron has undertaken the monumental task of tracing through the entire process by which false environmental alarms have become faulty legislation, faulty legislation has become "regulatory science," and regulatory science has turned into the hysterical "carcinogen-of-the-month" syndrome. Her effort is utterly comprehensive. She has assembled mountains of information. Unfortunately, the book is also of a barely readable length. Efron rarely misses an opportunity to go into lengthy biographical detail, to quote multiple sources, or to give us three paragraphs of congressional testimony where one sentence probably would do.
Like many critics of environmentalism, Efron expresses deep resentment about Rachel Carson's success in combining bad science with felicitous, accessible prose in Silent Spring, Carson's classic on the environment. Unfortunately, Efron does not seem to realize that a book as encyclopedic as her own cannot hope to have a very wide readership.
I would suggest that anyone put off by the length of The Apocalyptics skip the first three chapters and go right to chapter 4, where Efron has assembled a landmark inventory of information, "The Earth's Carcinogens: A Survey." The entire flavor of the book is conveyed right here.
Did you know, for example, that dinosaur fossils show ample evidence of cancer of the bone and blood vessels? Did you know that oxygen regularly shows up as a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) in the bacterial assays that are commonly used to take sugar substitutes and food additives off the shelves? Did you know that 20 percent of the earth's elements are carcinogenic (and not because of their radioactivity)? Did you know that many essential nutrients, such as selenium, zinc, and manganese, are carcinogenic—and some of the same (selenium is the most notable) have also been shown to be anticarcinogenic?
As Efron so effectively demonstrates, the one thing that scientists have been able to prove about cancer over the last 15 years is that it is not the result of some simple-minded process of "one-time exposure to a known carcinogen." There are obviously layers of defense mechanisms in our bodies that separate us from the "sea of carcinogens" in which we live.
Yet this same simple-minded assumption—that we can drive all the "known carcinogens" out of the environment—has been the basis of the entire federal regulatory effort of the last 10 years. We wring our hands and cry "scandal" about a few parts-per-billion of some food preservative in our diet, while we regularly ingest much larger amounts of natural carcinogens with every meal. In this light, the nation's hysteria over "industrial carcinogens" looks more and more like the efforts of the medieval Flaggelants to cure themselves of the plague by stripping their own flesh to shreds.
As Efron also notes, the most obvious fact about cancer in the United States is that it is not increasing. Far from the public hysteria, scientists are quietly wondering about the "Paradox of Rehn": why has the increased use of industrial chemicals not caused an "epidemic" of cancers, as a Swiss doctor named Rehn had predicted in 1895?
America ranks far down the scale of industrial nations in cancer incidence. Some of the highest rates of cancer in the world are recorded in India, Africa, Southeast Asia, and rural Canada. Without the big increase in lung cancer—which is obviously tied to smoking—American cancers would be notably declining. Yet still, Dan Rather intones that "America leads the world in cancer," which he calls the "disease of the century."
The Apocalyptics is a truly heroic effort—the attempt by one lone individual to stem the tide of irrationality that has gripped the nation over the last 10 years on the cancer issue. Most remarkable is Efron's report that, out of the dozens of academic scientists who have praised the book in manuscript form, every one of them has requested anonymity! The peer pressure within the scientific community to "go with the flow" and blame industry for the mythical "epidemic of cancer"—instead of acknowledging the disease's obvious worldwide incidence and correlation with nonindustrial factors in our environments—has apparently reached the point where it can torpedo reputations and sink applications for government grants.
My advice to author Edith Efron and to publisher Simon and Schuster right now would be to take this monumental work and distill from it 120 pages of readable prose that could easily slip into the hands of secretaries as they ride home from work on the bus. Then this book will take on the dimensions of another Silent Spring, which it so richly deserves.
My advice to anyone who can't wait for that is to read this book now.

Korean Students in Boston push the Voter Registration Rate to top in U.S.
By HyunCheon Kim
Translated SeungYeon Woo
While the rate of voter registration for the overseas Korean election is incredibly low; Boston ranked the highest rate throughout the U.S. Currently, 3 days before the registration deadline, the rate of voter registration in Boston has reached 12%, higher than expected. Up to now, the total voter registration rate in the U.S. was 2.74%.
According to the Boston Korean Consulate General, presently, 1,550 out of 12,891 estimated voters in Boston have registered, and if about 300 applicants who still need to submit a copy of their passport are completely registered, then the rate will increase up to 14%.
91% of the total registrants are mostly young Korean students who are very interested in South Korean politics; this trend raised the registration rate to the top in the U.S. Among the 1,550 registrants, 1,410 are overseas Koreans and international students and 140 are permanent residents.
According to, Yang-ho Seo, the official of the Korean National Election Commission, the fact that Boston has a lot of Korean students actually has helped to improve the voter registration rate. During the last few days, even around 200 college students from Rhode Island have been registered.
However, despite the fact that Boston has a relatively high rate, the total rate of the U.S., 2.74%, is well below expectation. Out of the estimated 1 million voters, only 28,268 have registered. The world's registration rate is 4.4%, which means 99,163 out of about 2,300,000 voters.
Seo said, "I believe that the results are due to the systemic problems of the current overseas election, which values fairness and safety over ease to vote. In order to vote in the election, one first has to visit the office to register as a voter. However, since it's hard to do in the U.S. where jurisdiction is way too broad, the election committees allow registering at temporary places." He added, "Also, another obstacle is the fact that permanent residents must visit the office to register since their resident registrations in Korea are cancelled."
"However, the jurisdiction of the Boston Korean Consulate General is relatively smaller than others'; thus, it was easier to receive registration through canvassing. Also, the cooperation of the Consulate General staff and the National Election Commission, as well as finding a systematic and effective approach both contributed to increasing the registration rate," said Seo.
Nevertheless, the low global registration rate will mean that "overseas Koreans' votes would not greatly influence" the general election this coming April. Moreover, it will raise controversy about the effectiveness of the overseas election. Since the registration rate is low, the actual voting rate will be much lower. Some are pointing out that it is wasting Koreans' tax money.
Currently, the total budget for the overseas election is about $29,300,000. If the voters are roughly100,000, then about $250 of tax money, which is 20 times more than in Korea, is used per vote.
Seo also indicated that, "Discussing about effectiveness of oversea election is too hasty. 100,000 registrants mean a lot when the registration is quite difficult.
The situation of the domestic and overseas elections cannot be the same. Thus, it is unfair to compare and comment about the budgets of the two differently situated elections."Seo strongly emphasized that the improvement of the application rate will have an important effect on future politics.
The registration deadline is Saturday the 11th and the Boston Korean Consulate General will be accepting final registrations during their business hours (9 A.M.-5 P.M.).

There are soldiers seated on the ground in front of the vehicles. The bottom left of the image includes the name Captain A. A. Mitten. In the background on the right side of the image is a tent with several women in hats. There might have been some sort of public event occurring. There is an rock outcropping and evergreen trees behind the vehicles. The photographer was Garret and Ruud from Madison, Wisconsin but the location is unknown.
This photograph is an exterior view of an Excelsior motorcycle dealership in Lyons, Kansas. The façade of the dealership building is in the background, while the foreground includes two Excelsior motorcycles and several shipping crates containing additional machines. The motorcycle on the left is equipped with a Miller Triplex Side Seat to accommodate more than one rider. A photographer's imprint in the lower right-hand corner indicates that the image was made by Jones Studio.
This fair bulletin lists the entertainment, activities, and exhibits that will be available at the Miami County fair in Paola, Kansas. Attractions include a mechanical department, a ladies' department, livestock exhibit, horse races, a poultry exhibit, live music, and fruit, floral, and vegetable displays. Fair officers are J. F. Donahoe, president, and G. P. Leavitt, secretary.
This is an interview with Gilbert Herrman, part of an oral history project entitled "Patchwork of Dependency: The Effects of WWII on Edwards County, Kansas" conducted by the Kinsley Public Library. The project was supported by a Kansas Humanities Council Heritage Grant. Gilbert talks of his family, education, military career, and the home front during WWII.
This photograph shows six motorcyclists who participated in a Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club tour, possibly in 1913. The motorcyclist on the far left is believed to be Phil Zimmerman, the Short Grass club's Secretary-Treasurer. Third from the left is Inez Patterson, daughter of the club's founder, Dr. Benjamin J. Patterson. Inez was an active participant in the club, serving as captain of the Girls' Division. The others in the photo cannot be identified. The motorcycles pictured are from the following manufacturers (left to right): Pope, Excelsior, unknown, Harley Davidson, Indian, Indian. The Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club was founded in Rexford in the summer of 1910 under Dr. Patterson's leadership. It achieved national attention and acclaim, largely because of its well-publicized, long-distance motorcycle tours into Colorado and Wyoming. The Short Grass club was most active between 1910 and 1915, sponsoring tours each of those years except 1914. During its heyday, the club described itself as "the most famous motorcycle club in the world."
This postcard shows Howard Morgan seated on an Indian Motorcycle near Park, Gove County, Kansas.
This black and white photograph shows the store front of Jackson's garage in Clay Center, Kansas. In the doorway of the business, a gentlemen informal stands before the camera while a second man poses with an Indian (Motocycle). To the left of the men, a wooden sign reads "LIKE A FLASH" Indian (Motocycle). The Indian (Motocycle) Company was founded as the Hendee Manufacturing Company in the early 1900s by George M. Hendee and Carl Oscar Hedstrom in Springfield Massachusetts. The dark red motorcycle, a company trademark, was purchased by customers from all walks of life.
In this photograph, two riders pose on their Indian motorcycles, ready to leave Pratt on a pathfinding mission in advance of the Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club's annual tour. Plans called for the tour to originate in Garden City, and extend into Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. The pathfinders' job was to select the routes, make arrangements for fuel, supplies, and campground locations, and attend to other logistical details. The tour itself departed from Garden City on August 11, 1912, with one of the main itinerary attractions being Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming. A handwritten note beneath the image identifies the two pathfinders as Cross and Bennett. The latter is Wells Bennett, a Wichita native who was one of the state's leading dirt-track racers at the time. He would later establish himself as a premier national competitor in several motorcycle event categories. Bennett was inducted into the national Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000, and is described by the Hall of Fame as "one of the pioneers of motorcycle racing," and "one of the greatest cross-country riders of all time." The Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club was founded in Rexford in 1910 under the leadership of Dr. Benjamin J. Patterson. It achieved national attention and acclaim, largely because of its well-publicized, long-distance motorcycle tours into Colorado and Wyoming. The Short Grass club was most active between 1910 and 1915, sponsoring tours each year except 1914. During its heyday, the club described itself as "the most famous motorcycle club in the world."
This photograph, taken in Dodge City, is a scene from the Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club's annual tour in 1913. Approximately 100 motorcyclists from eleven states gathered in Hutchinson on July 14 to embark on a nine-day journey to Denver, host city for the 1913 national convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. The tour group spent its first night in Larned, and arrived in Dodge City mid-day on July 15. The Short Grass tour followed a detailed itinerary, with events scheduled at designated points along the way. In Dodge City, amateur and professional motorcycle races were held on a two-mile track northeast of town that had been constructed specifically for the occasion. The races were marred somewhat by hot temperatures, wind, and dust, but the event still drew 1,000 spectators. In the evening, Dodge Citians entertained their guests with a bronco busting demonstration, a "parade of the suffragette band," and a reception featuring storytelling by some of the town's old-timers. After Dodge City, the tour's remaining overnight stops were all in Colorado, including the cities of Holly, Las Animas, Pueblo, Canon City, and Colorado Springs.

Participants in the Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club's annual tour are preparing to leave Larned in this photograph made on July 15, 1913. Larned was the first overnight stop on the 1913 tour, which originated in Hutchinson the day before. Approximately 100 motorcyclists came from eleven states to make the nine-day journey to Denver, host city for the 1913 national convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. The Short Grass tour followed a detailed itinerary, with events scheduled at designated points along the way. In Larned, the group's stay featured a series of six professional and amateur motorcycle races at the fairgrounds. Evening events included a band concert and a social gathering. Other overnight stops on the 1913 tour included Dodge City and the following cities in Colorado: Holly, Las Animas, Pueblo, Canon City, and Colorado Springs.

This is a photo of an unidentified man and woman sitting on a motorcycle at an unknown location.
The man standing by an early motorcycle is not identified in the photo taken by Captain Hughes. The location and date are not mentioned either. James Clark Hughes was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1888, and served in the Mexican Border Conflict, World War I, and World War II. He used an autographic camera to take pictures of friends, family, and places in the United States and Europe during World War I. After the Armistice was signed November 11, 1918, Captain Hughes became part of the Army of Occupation. He finally returned to the U. S. arriving July 31, 1919 as part of the 13th Field Artillery, 4th Division. He was assigned to Camp Dodge, Iowa until August, 1920. Then Captain Hughes was assigned to the Motor Transport School, Camp Holabird, Maryland for training in Army vehicles for six months. From there Hughes and the 13th F.A. went to Fort Lewis, Washington. Hughes was the Battery Commander of the 13th F.A. During this time he had applied for enlistment in the Regular Army. On September 7, 1920 he was discharged from the National Guard and appoint to the Regular Army. It was then that Captain Hughes and his family moved to Schofield Barracks, Hawaiian Territory where they stayed until September, 1923. His next appointment was as Battery Commander of the 15th Field Artillery at Fort Sam Houston. In September 1924, Hughes attended the Battery Officers Course in the School of Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for nine months. From 1924 until 1933 the Hughes family continued to be moved frequently from Ft. Sill to Houston, to Waco, back to Hawaii and eventually to Long Beach. It was here in 1935 that Hughes was promoted to Major. By August of 1940 he had been promoted to Lt. Colonel. In 1941, he commanded a Philippine regiment (Filipino soldiers led by American officers), which surrendered in 1942 on the Bataan peninsula. Hughes spent the next 41 months in various Japanese P.O.W. camps. He was liberated by Russian forces at Camp Hoten, Manchuria, in 1945. He was assigned permanent limited duty status and April 1, 1946 was promoted to Colonel. He retired from the Army March 20, 1948. Hughes died in 1964 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Bizarre yet funky combination of orchestra, percussion and bass guitar. Cartoon-like with a dark twist, in the style of offbeat composers like Danny Elfman (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands). Maybe someone has taken a strange substance and is experiencing an altered state of mind, having bizarre visions.

Phillip Austin: parole hearing set for infamous Northampton triple-murderer
The family of his victims are pleading for Austin not to be released
Will Jefford
Phillip Austin
A parole hearing for a man who brutally killed his wife and two children 20 years ago has been set for April.
Phillip Austin was given three life sentences after pleading guilty to killing his wife, Claire, 31, and his two children, Keiren, eight and Jade, aged seven, at their Northampton home in July 2000.
A judge ordered Austin to serve the three life sentences concurrently meaning he is now eligible for parole 20 years after the horrific crimes.
The 51-year-old is set to go before a panel in April, who will decide whether he is eligible for release.
With the hearing just two months away, the devastated family of the three victims have appealed for the board to prevent his release.
Carol Quinn, mother to Claire and grandmother to Keiren and Jade, has also started a petition to call for life sentences to really mean life.
She said: "Back in July 2000, in Northampton, my family was destroyed when I discovered the bodies of my beautiful daughter, Claire aged 31, grandson Keiren, 8 and granddaughter Jade, 7.
"The bodies of the family's two pet poodles Dandy and Sooty were also there. They had been cruelly taken away from us by the man who should have loved and protected them, Philip Geoffrey Austin.
"Austin is now due for parole. He is just 51 years old and has time to meet another woman and start his life over again.
(Image: Carol Quinn)
"My fear is that he will repeat his murderous actions and destroy another innocent family.
"We may or may not be able to prevent his release and we may never have justice served but I would ask you to sign this petition to stop multiple murderers from being released from prison and to prevent them from killing again.
"Let's make a stand together and make sure that life does mean life in prison."
A parole board spokesman said that the panel will explore a range of evidence with "extreme care" before a decision is made.
The spokesman said: "An oral hearing has been listed for the parole review of Phillip Austin and is scheduled to take place in April.
"Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.
Young man stabbed in Northampton street is in serious condition
Tributes paid to 'beautiful' mum-of-two who died in eight-car crash on M1 in Northamptonshire
"The panel will carefully examine a whole range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as understand the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims.
"Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority."
Once the hearing has taken place, Austin will either remain in custody or be released under certain conditions.
Anyone wishing to sign the petition is asked to sign here.

Gifting the Love and Life of the Sport With GripShift [From 19/July-2019]
This is a game that is more liked for its attachment to a particular moment or event, though the game itself is still a good one. Since 1999, I'd been a spectator at every British Transplant Games event, supporting my dad who would be taking part. But for those who don't know, what are the Transplant Games?
Transplantation is the process of replacing an organ within your body that is no longer working thanks to a donor giving one of theirs. It's an operation that brings new life to those who receive it, and the Transplant Games are a celebration of that new life. They also help raise awareness of the need for transplantation and give thanks to those donor families who have supported it.
In 1999, my Dad had his first operation to replace a kidney, which had been a great success. And in that year, the Games were held in Birmingham. Every year, the Games move to a different city, which offers plenty of opportunities for seeing the sights around the UK.
We as a family had travelled to many cities throughout the years and been to many sights within those areas, watching my Dad competing in snooker, darts, and other sports during the event.
It came to a temporary halt in 2011, though, when that kidney started failing and he started on dialysis – which is where a person has to remove waste products and excess fluid to replace with clean fluids owing to kidney failure. Since he was doing peritoneal dialysis, he was doing this manually four times a day.
We were waiting for the call which would say a new kidney had been found, and that eventually happened in 2015. That was a memorable moment for many reasons, but he had been gifted life once more. And he's continued to go to the Games and is now manager for the Birmingham team.
As I said, GripShift is a game liked more for its attachment to a particular moment or event, and it was in 2007 – during a memorable Transplant Games in Edinburgh – that I first got my hands on this game for the PSP.
Preowned from Game, while exploring the city centre during an off day from events. I enjoyed seeing the sights and watching the sports happen (friendly competition is advised, but everyone competing is a winner here), but on downtime I'd be playing games on that PSP, and GripShift was the game I'd chosen.
Different from a regular racer, it featured a more puzzle/platformer type experience with courses floating in the air. No resemblance of the real world here. There are three objectives to complete and many levels to complete them on during the challenge mode.
Race mode only had two objectives, but they were made harder thanks to opponents racing alongside you and being able to mess things up with items.
For me, none of that really mattered. There was a track editor, and that was all I cared about. I'd be in that editor creating and playing plenty of my own tracks, not even touching those within the game.
In fact, I probably got more out of the extra games than the main modes. Forever will I have only progressed to the easy levels on both modes.
I'd bought the Xbox 360 version of this in 2013, and probably because there was no level editor I'd retired it very quickly. Now, six years later, I'm returning to it and having fun with it, despite most of the extras not being there. It gives me a chance to progress through the main modes that for so long I had put off.
I still own the PSP version of GripShift – that same one from Edinburgh – and while I no longer play that version, it's a reminder of the fun time I have had through the Transplant Games and the people I have met.
While I won't be going to the Games being held in Newport this year, I'm still happy that my Dad continues to live thanks to the gift he's twice been given, and maybe I'll be going again next year.

We empower people in the Himalaya region.
their hygiene
have begun
A new discovery
Chinserve staff find miserable hygiene situation in the resettlement villages of former nomads: Missing sanitary facilities and sicknesses are expressions of a multi-level poverty.
A great triumph in Yan's life
Since the death of her father and brother, the young Yanhaizhan (Yan) has lived quite a difficult life taking care of her mother who suffers from a physical handicap. Thanks to support from Switzerland, Chinserve facilitated the means for the maturing, young woman to attend secondary school and now university.
Cutural
Development can't be bought
Chinserve visits regularly a primary school in order to encourage socially disadvantaged children in their learning. Half of the children live only with their grandparents. Their parents work far away on a construction site or a factory and come home only once a year. These left-behind kids have a less than ideal learning condition.
Thus we understand Development Cooperation
Chinserve empowers people in the Himalaya region in the areas of Health and Education.
The goal of Chinserve ist to enable individuals from the native people groups for work. This happens through schooling, vocational training, and coaching.
Chinserve works in teams, bridges cultures, and contributes to peace-building transformation in individuals and society.
Chinserve encourages individuals and families to personal responsibility and shows paths towards problem solving. In this way people come out of the loop of poverty and gain perspective for the future. Through the impartation of occupational competencies (knowledge and skills), our investments are multiplied.
Only healthy people can learn
Homevisits are important in the daily life of Chinserve's work. The first question ist always: "What do you want us to help you with?" Ill members are binding one working relative to the house which means the person can't earn money outside. This is one reason for poverty in this region. That's why the focus is on health and prevention for the whole population.
A better future - thanks to training
In the remote regions of the Himalayas, there are still today families with children who cannot practically read or write. Their parents did not have or had very little opportunity for an education in school. Their possibilities in the job market are therefore very limited.
Rapid help in times of distress
Chinserve helps immediately in emergency situations, so that through a quick response, effects of the hardship do not worsen.
A few examples:
A patient in the hospital has run out of money, and as a result, his medical treatments have to be discontinued. Chinserve pays the bill so that the therapy can proceed, and the distress is minimised.
The washing machine of a large family which hosts orphans broke down. Within the Chinserve network of friends and supporters, a donor stepped forward to pay for a new machine so that the mountain of laundry could be reduced.
The school for nomadic peoples had no more coal to heat their facility in winter. Within a week Chinserve organised the remaining finances so that the teachers could purchase the coal. In the following week a delivery truck left the city and brought the coal for the whole winter to the school (1000km away).
Chinserve stands ready in emergency situations to help directly, simply, and without expectation.
Chinserve is a nonprofit organisation. Your investment is transferred directly and promotes sustainability among the people in the Himalaya region. The western staff members are supported by private donations.

You can get to know the work of Chinserve on-site. By arrangement, Chinserve staff will introduce you to the life and culture of the Himalaya Plateau. Your collaboration as well as encounters with the peoples of the country are all part of the adventure.
From people to help people learn to help themselves
About six staff members are committed to the endeavours of Chinserve in the Himalaya region. Experienced, educated, and competent project leaders from Switzerland are available to and consult with on-site staff members.
Together Chinserve engages with the peoples of the Himalaja region eye-to-eye: from people to people we aim to empower and equip people. In Switzerland the endeavours of Chinserve association are carried through voluntary participation.
The Swiss board of trustees account for the strategic orientation of Chinserve.
Chinserve empowers people in the Himalaya region in the area of health and education.
