PVC – Best Value for money option for standard signage. Comes in a rigid 1.5mm white substrate and is best suited for the smaller sign sizes.
Aluminium Composite Material – This material is best suited for signs that will be located outside (as this product has high UV resistance) and for the larger sign sizes as it is strong enough that it does not require any support.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl – This is for labels that can be used to stick onto existing sign subrates, walls, whiteboards, posts, foreheads etc.


As I sat on the plane on my way back to Boston from the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Scottsdale, AZ, the things I did right and wrong washed over my brain. Why did I spend too much time sitting in the second general session? Should I have spent more time in the dining area? Why didn't I set up more meetings before I left for the conference?
Sales teams come to conferences with one goal in mind: pitch as many people as you can. The restaurant industry, like many others, is a tight-knit group that needs to see a company's representatives face-to-face for multiple years to have confidence the company will be around and innovating for many more. The first year, you attend, shake hands, and collect business cards. The second year you get a booth, reconnect with the industry, and close a couple deals. The third year you lead a panel and close the early majority. The best way to ensure you get to speak with as many potential clients as possible is to build a cohesive strategy weeks before landing at the conference site.
1. Get an Attendee List – If you're a sponsor of the conference or getting a booth, ask for a list of attendees. Once you get that list, Google their email addresses using the most common email structures: John@thelevelup.com, JValentine@thelevelup.com, John.Valentine@thelevelup.com, John@thelevelup.com, Valentine@thelevelup.com. One of those email structures will hit the Google jackpot about 80% of the time. Shoot these attendees an email letting them know what your booth number is. Tell them to stop by. Ask for their cell number so you can text them if you miss the prospect's booth visit. Let everyone know you simply want to shake their hand and meet them in person. There is no better sales driver than face-to-face meetings.
1. Send Prospects an Email Mid-Conference – Half the conference has passed and you still haven't connected with a bunch of your prospects? Send them a 2-line email letting them know you want to shake their hand and say hi. You'll be surprised by the quick, positive responses you get back. Even the biggest industry stars have downtime, and some conferences are a bore. Email them right before a scheduled break.
2. Do NOT Sit Through Educational Sessions – The biggest mistake any salesperson can make at a conference is to sit through entire sessions. Let's be honest, over 90% of them are not even tangentially related to your business. The only sessions you should completely attend are those of your competition. Competitive intel is always important to know for prospect objections. Walk into the session 10 minutes before it is scheduled to start, sit down next to a potential prospect, and have a short conversation to learn more about them and their business. When the session is about to begin, politely excuse yourself to the bathroom and head out.
3. Eat Twice During Every Meal Period – Dining areas are the #1 place to start a good conversation. Why waste a meal period with one just one conversation? Fill up your plate with half the food you would normally eat, sit down and chat up your table-mates, exchange business cards, excuse yourself, grab a clean plate, fill it up half way again, sit down at another table, and commence conversation number two. If you're eating dinner, you can squeeze in a third conversation with desert.
4. Always Have a Pen On-Hand – You MUST write notes on every business card you receive. Suggested notes are as follows: location you met the prospect, date, interesting tidbits, names of other decision-makers in the company, where her daughter is attending college, and anything that could bring a positive memory to mind. Trust me, you'll quickly forget who most of the people in your card stack are by the end of the conference. Don't get caught without material for a follow-up email.
5. Bring More Business Cards Than you Think You Need – Business cards are like money in the conference industry. Without a thick stack of your own, you won't get anything back. Oh, and have a business card that stands out. Square cards, metal cards, and cards with creative fonts tend to be memorable.
6. Hang out at Meeting Places During Downtime – If I'm not supposed to be anywhere for a while, I'll hang out in the lobby or at the lobby bar (if the conference takes place in a hotel). These locations and other landmarks are where people gather for meetings. One person will inevitably arrive before the other, and they don't like to appear lonely so they'll make small talk with whomever is around. You. Take advantage.
7. Remember, Your Product Comes Second – You will get absolutely nowhere if you pitch the product before introducing yourself and sharing something interesting about yourself. Business owners are in [insert exotic/awesome location here] to kick back, learn a couple things, and connect with their industry friends. You want to become a friend rather than another sales guy at the conference. I sometimes spend 10 minutes befriending owners and let them ask what company I work for without prompting. That way, you know they're truly interested.
1. 2-Day Rule – Don't send emails or make calls to conference prospects until a couple days have passed. Let the amateurs bombard the prospects with emails as they hit 'delete' without ever opening them. A well-crafted email a few days after the conference with an eye-catching header will elicit a read. That's all you can ask for.

Veronica Charlesworth
Veronica Charlesworth was born in London, England in 1952. Her family were not in the least artistic but from an early age Veronica developed a love of and a skill at drawing and painting. Her foundation studies at Hampton Art School provided her with excellent tuition in drawing and design and at the London College of Printing she learned the techniques of printmaking and obtained a BA in Graphic Design.
In 1974 Veronica began her career as a professional artist and became the manager of a printmaking workshop in London producing silk screen prints and lithographs by herself and fellow artists. In 1979 she married the artist, Michael MacDonagh Wood and together they set up a printmaking studio in Stroud Gloucestershire printing their etchings and silk screen prints.
During the late 80s Veronica began painting in watercolours. "I had enjoyed drawing plants at art school but watercolour was a new medium for me. It is perfectly suited to working in the open air and I used it to paint my favourite flowers, peonies, poppies and particularly irises." Veronica's vibrant paintings capture the delicate fragility and intense colours of these spectacular flowers which she exhibited annually at the Chelsea Flower show and the Hampton Court Flower Show.
In 2003 Michael and Veronica bought a house in the idyllic Lot region of France resulting in many scenes of ancient villages and farms.
More recently, Veronica organised an exhibition to celebrate Stroud's award winning farmers market. "I aimed to show the beauty and variety of our local produce throughout the 4 seasons. The project was great fun. I loved searching for the most visually exciting fruit and vegetables and then arranging an interesting composition for each month of the year."
Veronica and Michael moved to South Devon in 2016 and she has found a new source of inspiration. Slapton Ley at Start Bay and the River Dart are her present subjects. "I am fascinated by the relationship between the trees and the water and spend a long time studying their reflections. The shore line is my territory."
Whether still life, floral or landscape, Veronica's watercolours and acrylics celebrate the beauty and drama of the natural world.

Because most boat galleys are small and most anchorages aren't close to Whole Foods, preparing a good meal on a boat is quite unlike doing so ashore. Carolyn Shearlock and Jan Irons learned this when they and their husbands made the jump from racing small one-designs to a charter in the BVI and subsequent cruising boat ownership.
With more than 20,000 cruising miles between them, they've co-written a comprehensive guide to shipboard cooking that will give even "non-cooks" enough confidence to produce tasty meals out of an icebox, without prepared foods, and on a one-burner stove in a tiny, moving kitchen.
Included are hundreds of boat-friendly recipes that can be made from readily obtainable ingredients with hand utensils, and step-by-step instructions on such things as making yogurt and bread, grilling virtually every food imaginable, preparing and cooking freshly-caught fish and seafood, cutting up and boning meat, cooking in a Thermos and baking on a stove top. There's also a host of practical tips on everything from substitutions, provisioning and food storage to troubleshooting oven hot spots and more.
Carolyn Shearlock's articles have appeared in Cruising World and SAIL and she writes TheBoatGalley.com, where you'll find over 400 articles about provisioning, food storage and galley cooking. Jan Irons' articles have been published in Cruising World, SAIL and Blue Water Sailing, and she produces commuterCRUISER.com, featuring more than 400 articles with practical tips and information for part-time cruisers.
A well-fed crew is a happy one, and whether your sailing plans include a family weekend, the Marion Bermuda Race or a 'round the world voyage, you need to own The Boat Galley Cookbook. The print edition and several e-book formats are available at amazon.com.

Are the times changing in Singapore? Two types of change are in the air – one is lapses daunting our image as a place where things work and, as a result, a current mini outbreak of self-questioning.
So there you are – gahmen getting whacked by (gahment) MSM. And if you have been following forum page letters in the mainstream press, you will also notice mosquitoes biting the establishment, approved potshots curated to allow some letting off of steam.
And, once in a while, some bigger mosquitoes will rear their heads to offer some stinging advice – such as asking the authorities to listen more – to solve a problem, like ensuring safety during military training. Brave would these souls be because you never know just who you might offend or who would push you to a corner with a window view (if you are that lucky) but where you would be doing practically nothing useful.
This is my five dollars worth of crystal-ball gazing at some of the consequences of some of the more recent lapses in Singapore.
The Health Ministry will continue to struggle with its problems the way it has been lurching from one crisis after another. It is pretty much damage control for the awful HIV data breach. But the damage to Health Minister Gan Kim Yong's career may not be so easy to control. For all the good he and his team have done to strengthen the country's healthcare system and they have done a lot, the data leak involving 14,200 patients and a love affair between Ler Teck Siang, former head of the Health Ministry's National Public Health Unit, and his American partner Mikhy Farrera Brochez to whom the former allegedly leaked the confidential information, may just be too hard to overlook.
The case of the SingPost worker who dumped letters he was suppossed to deliver may be easier to deal with. Errant workers can be found in any organisation. SingPost was quick to say sorry, promising to do better. As correspondence and banking are done online these days, the impact of lost letters is not like what it would have been years ago.
It is the Singapore Armed Forces which will be under greater scrutiny from here on. CFC Aloysius Pang's death has brought home the fact that ours is, after all, a civilian army. Families have been supporting the system since 1967. National service has been generally accepted as a way of life for Singapore males and their families. Without true-blue Singaporeans' participation, there can be no credible armed forces.
I think it is time for a complete review of the whole NS system beyond the issue of safety, first, to make sure Singaporeans are not short-changed in the process, and, second, to have a more level playing field when it comes to jobs (that they do not lose out to foreigners or even their female cohorts who do not have to serve national service for that number of years).
Our true-blue males must never be multiply penalised – not getting places in universities and having to go abroad to pursue a degree at great cost to their parents while foreign students occupy places in our own universities and are subsidised by scholarships funded by local taxpayers' money. How did our Singapore males end up in such a disadvantaged situation?
We need to look at the NS concept very closely and update it. Can the initial basic training and development of the conventional fighting units be done in one year or one and a half years? If our doctrine is not to occupy but to deter (bloody the nose of anyone who threatens us), then our emphasis ought to be on precision destruction through modern weaponry. Smart Nation, Smarter Army.
The reservist years should be spent refining this capability while continuing with the IPPTs.
This country needs a lot of shaking up and a touch of the refresh button. Complacency has seeped into many facets of life here – military, public services, administrative systems, politics.
Talking about politics, so what was Lee Hsien Yang doing? His second breakfast in public with Dr Tan Cheng Bock – first, three months ago in West Coast and on Saturday (Feb 2) in Ang Mo Kio – seemed to be signalling something. He shall not play by his elder brother Lee Hsien Loong's agenda. He would have his own plans.
The sons of Lee Kuan Yew are taking different paths on a journey of no return to the old days. Where it will end is very much up in the air. This may well be the mother of all changes in Singapore.

Andy Ng learned about hard work early on.
While other students were participating in extracurricular activities, Andy held a full-time job to help support his family. From this experience, he developed a strong work ethic. It paid off when he was selected as a Gates Millennium Scholar as a student at New York University.
Andy spent his first year of college in London and since then he has worked with nonprofits, traveled the world and even helped co-found a startup. He says that he has come a long way from the shy kid that he once was.
We talked with Andy to learn about his eclectic past, his mission to make his parents proud, and the brighter future ahead of him.
I've had a really eclectic mix of life experiences. I grew up in a beautiful beach town in Florida where I was lucky to attend two performing arts schools. There I studied ballet, theatre, creating writing and film. My family didn't have much so I had to work full-time while I went to school. Those years were tough and taxing, but it paid off when I was selected as a Gates Millennium Scholar and accepted into NYU's first year away program. I packed my bags, moved to London and placed a lot of faith in the future.
I've always believed that good things will happen with the right preparation and by surrounding yourself with the right people. I spent the summer after my first year of college in Rome to study leadership then moved to New York with the biggest appetite for success.
I've since worked with nonprofits and schools, co-founded a startup, and had a stint in finance and still fit in time to travel the world. It's been an unbelievable journey and every moment and person I've met is special to me because I feel so privileged. Privileged to have had the freedom to think and explore critically and openly, to engage with others in a meaningful way. I've come a long way from the shy, poor kid that I was to where I am today.
What's something that not many people know about you that has defined who you are today?
I grew up with enormous expectations to be the best, particularly from my parents. Traditional, conservative Chinese parents, my mom and dad didn't shower me with congratulatory remarks – it's simply not in our culture.
Balancing my traditional Chinese upbringing with my American education and social life was tough. I wondered why my parents weren't as supportive as my friends' parents, and became obsessed with the idea of winning my parents' attention. Even though I understand the circumstances that led to why my relationship with my parents is the way it is, I am still fueled by the desire to make them proud.
Last year I heard Ted Gonder, CEO of Moneythink, say, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." When I think about those people in my life (my roommate, best friends, co-workers, mentors) I'm enamored by their talent, generosity and worldview. They're each different from me, yet the ferocity with which they tackle every part of their life, whether it's leaving a legacy in education or maintaining relationships, motivates me to get up each morning and go in hard just as much as them.
What lead you to choose to attend your college?
Have you ever met someone who hasn't been infatuated with the idea of moving to New York at some point in his or her life? As great as it was to grow up with the beach in my backyard, I craved a city with energy and I wanted a school that would challenge me academically and socially. NYU is a large school and you have to work hard, work passionately to stand out both at school and in the city, and that was a task that excited me.
What's been your favorite experience as a college student thus far?
NYU prides itself on being the global network university and I got a firsthand experience of what that meant from the first day of school. My first year in London is something I think about almost every day.
To study English where the greatest writers once walked made my learning come alive in an unbelievable way – I lived down the street from Charles Dickens' house for crying out loud! Moving across the world alone was obviously scary, but doing so tested my maturity and living with three other guys for the first time also tested my patience. But I'm incredibly thankful for the people I met that year – I've never bonded with a group of people so quickly and I can still call those people my best friends today.
…a test you don't really need to study for, but can still pass.
What will make college worth it for you?
Getting a smile or some tears out of my parents at my graduation.
You get to invite 5 influential people (currently living) to a dinner party. Who are they and why?

Bravo Team Review (PS4)
Squad goals
Version Reviewed: PS4 Pro / North American
review by Sammy Barker Tue 13th Mar 2018
The elite squad of United States hotshots Bravo Team think they're home and hosed: they've successfully escorted the president of a fictional Eastern Europe country safely back to her destination, and all that's left is a pat on the back and a rousing round of 'Oorah'. But a sudden coup sees the dignitary snatched away, and much of the titular team wiped out. Left stranded with your buddy, you're tasked with pushing your way through the foreign nation, and exfiltrating with your appendages still attached.
Designed with the PlayStation VR Aim Controller in mind, it's no surprise that the title plays best with the plastic assault rifle in hand. While you can use the DualShock 4 or PlayStation Move if you prefer, neither option quite excels like Sony's faux firearm. Just like in Farpoint, you're able to physically bring the weapon up to your face in order to aim down the sights of your in-game gun, and you can also reach out or over to fire from cover.
In fact, this added layer of physicality is one of the best things about the first-person shooter. There's no free movement, with the developer instead utilising a series of cover-points that you "snap" to. Unlike in other games, however, PlayStation VR gives you freedom of movement from your static position, so you can peek out to get a view of what's unfolding around you – or even crouch lower to ensure you're fully protected from incoming shots.
While the campaign is split into distinct chapters, it's framed as one continuous journey through a vaguely Russian city. We really liked the way the scenes segued into each other, and there's actually some good variety to the backdrops; you start out on a bridge before working your way into a police station and across the metropolis' rooftops. The visuals are rarely ever outstanding, but there are a few memorable locations.
The action is intense, and surprisingly comfortable. Supermassive Games' smart locomotion solution may limit your movement options, but it makes for a virtual reality experience that can be enjoyed in long sessions without causing too much fatigue. The highlight of this is the way movement is handled; as opposed to replicating the head-bob of your sprinting soldier, it pulls out to a third-person perspective during transitions, keeping you in the action without prompting you to puke.
But there are a catalogue of issues that detract from the combat. The skewed perspective – which makes everything seem comically large – was a problem in The Inpatient, and it's revived here. More frustrating are the swimmy controls and lack of variety. The former is irritating because the title demands precision, but it never ever feels as tight as Farpoint with any of its available control options.
Meanwhile, the game reveals the sum of its ambition within its first five minutes, and never really does much else. There are some sections geared towards a lacklustre stealth mechanic – though timing these attacks as a team can be fun – and other areas where you'll need to use a sniper or a shotgun, but mostly you'll be pushing through waves of faceless foes. The level design allows for flanking, and on higher difficulties it's pretty tactical, but it feels like there should be more here.
Worse still, the combat just isn't quite as satisfying as it should be. Physically leaning and poking around cover is, as alluded earlier, entertaining – but the hit reaction from enemies makes the shooting feel rather unsatisfying. In a game like this, which is all about the moment-to-moment gunfights, the act of actually shooting people is bland at best. In fact, the gunplay is arguably at its best in the supplementary score attack mode, where points multipliers and silly sound effects add a little extra satisfaction to popping heads.
All of the content, be it the standard campaign or the aforementioned arcade mode, can be played in online co-op. In fact, this is where the title is at its best. You can play with an AI companion, and you can even command the computer around using a series of gestures, but it's when you're in constant communication with a friend or stranger that the title feels truly at home. As always with PlayStation VR, you feel a profound connection with your partner that just can't be replicated on standard screens.
But it's not enough to elevate the experience out of the doldrums of mediocrity. Bravo Team has a handful of likeable components, but its sloppy shooting and limited variety let it down. It is better when enjoyed alongside a real person, but it's still barely average, and we expect the online community to bounce off it pretty quick.
Bravo Team's tactical combat is a good fit for virtual reality, and it's exciting peeking out of cover in order to take pot shots. But for a title focused squarely on its action, the shooting rarely feels satisfying – even when you're armed with the excellent PSVR Aim Controller. Though the visuals are never outstanding, we like the way the title takes you on a continuous journey through a war-torn city, but limited variety means the release shows its hand within its first few minutes. And, frankly, not even online co-op will help you to care for the fate of the titular team.

I gotta say, I absolutely love the amount of support Supermassive has been throwing towards PSVR. It'd be better if there were more consistent quality (I thoroughly enjoyed Rush of Blood, but honestly hated The Inpatient), but keep it coming either way! Great review @get2sammyb !
RoyalGuard
I'll probably buy it regardless of score.
Ahhh pretty gutted to hear the faults. 😥

Does anyone know if it supports a left handed mode? My friend is getting it, and was gutted when he found out that DOOM VFR didn't have it for his Aim Controller.
@sajoey It does, yes.
@Dan_ozzzy189 Just read that review. I agree with all of the complaints he has, but it's a bit harsh for me. I think it's distinctly average personally, but we'll see how co-op fares.
This game looks dreadful with some very dodgy design choices, pressing a button to duck behind cover in VR? third person running? conveyor belt enemies?
London Heist is still easily the best PSVR game I've played and probably still the best looking. Looking back at VR Worlds its amazing how polished it is for such an early title (even the menu is fun bouncing diamonds on the controller), granted most of the games weren't great but London Heist was and that shark thing was good fun too, a more interactive version of that'd be nice. Thankfully they look like they are back with a bang with Blood and Truth and if I were Sony I'd be keeping them on VR duty
@carlos82 I don't mind the movement in this. In fact, I think Blood & Truth uses a similar solution. But I do agree, London Heist is an incredible proof of concept.
AdamNovice
I'm beginning to wonder if Supermassive have stretched themselves thin now. It's their 3rd game within 6 months now, I think they need to focus on just the one title because that's why they've been at their best.
@get2sammyb until we get some kind of room space it'll never be perfect but the big thing in VR for me is believing you're there and things like this really pull me out of the experience
NathanUC
Aw nuts I was worried about this.... considering the issues in The Impatient still haven't been addressed, I think I'll have to pass
PS_Nation
@Dan_ozzzy189 I prefer to avoid eurogamer.
A lot of the PSVR titles that are meant to be good are now seriously missing the mark. I would have expected by now the games to be getting steadily better.
@dryrain That's not true at all. We just had two recent PSVR games in our Game of the Month award: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/03/game_of_the_month_top_4_playstation_games_of_february_2018

As always it's great shooting stuff with the aim controller but I absolutely hate the fact it Makes you a spectator when moving between cover.! Completely ruins the game, destroys the emersion. Why not have an option for it??
Level design is so dull and boring and after 5 mins nothing feels different.
Supermassive need to give us Rush of blood 2. Still the go to game for PSVR

Q: PulseAudio: Get current volume of source (microphone) I need a way to get the current "loudness" of a microphone via PulseAudio (via bash). And I mean the volume of the sound that is picked up by the mircophone.
I want to replicate a volume meter, like you see it in pavucontrol.

A: search on github for the raspberry-vu project as it can help you with this. i changed src/impulse.c to use the device alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo, you may need to change this for your setup.
i then linked the GNU GSL lib to analyze the FFT array returned by im_getSnapshot() using gsl_stats_sd() and gsl_stats_mean() both of which return a double. you can then react to the value returned.

Home » Destinations » Peru » Lima
The City of Kings, it's been called, and with good reason. For 300 years, Lima stood as the seat of Spanish power in South America, a stronghold from which a king's decrees ruled an entire continent. In those days, the Viceroyalty of Peru extended from modern-day Colombia to Argentina, and the silver and gold flowing into its coffers from the mines at Potosí made Lima one of the richest cities in the world.
Today, that colonial opulence is still on display in Lima's baroque architecture, which is among the finest in Latin America. You'll marvel at its complexity in visits to the Iglesia de San Francisco, with its eerie catacombs, or stunning mansions like Casa Aliaga, the oldest private house in the Americas. Above all, you'll experience it in horse-drawn tours of the splendid plaza de armas, whose cathedral and municipal buildings positively shimmer after nightfall.
Nor is Lima's colonial heritage all. Those who dig deeper will find a fascinating indigenous past, full of warring tribes, technological achievement, and human sacrifice. This legacy is still alive, not just in museums such as the Museo Larco and Museo Nacional de Arqueología, but in the countless huacas or sacred sites that dot Lima's cityscape. The greatest are the Huaca Pucllana—home of one of the city's finest restaurants—and the massive pre-Inca temple of Pachacamac, further down the coast.
Lima's charm isn't only historic. Seaside districts like Miraflores and Barranco offer glimpses of the dynamic, vibrant modern capital that has lately undergone a renaissance. Here superstar chefs such as Gastón Acurio and Virgilio Martínez prepare dishes like cebiche and lomo saltado in restaurants widely ranked among the world's best. Afterwards, you can savor a pisco sour in one of the upscale bars, or stroll along the ocean, listening to the waves.
Lima is more than just a stopover on the way to Machu Picchu. Those who take time to explore this City of Kings won't fail to discover just how regal it can be.

LUCI smart powerchair tech hailed one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2020
Sarah Sarsby 2nd December 2020 LUCI smart powerchair tech hailed one of TIME's Best Inventions of 20202020-12-02T10:53:48+00:00 Awards & Achievements, Newsroom, Supplier News, Trade News
Credit: LUCI
LUCI, an innovative mobility device that enables powerchairs to analyse and safely navigate environments, as well as provide advanced levels of connectivity and protection, has been named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2020 under the Accessibility category.
The smart device, which launched earlier this year in the US, can be retrofitted to powered wheelchairs to help users avoid collisions and dangerous drop-offs while maintaining personalised driving control.
According to TIME Magazine, it assembled its 2020 best inventions list by soliciting nominations from its editors and correspondents globally and through an online application process. It then evaluated each contender on key factors, including originality, creativity, effectiveness, ambition and impact.
TIME notes the often-overlooked issue of powerchairs being prone to tipping and collisions, with some mobility devices weighing over 180kg, which can lead to serious injuries like broken bones.
Helping overcome this issue, the LUCI mobility accessory attaches to powered wheelchairs and uses sensors to monitor the chair's environment.
As riders steer their chair with a joystick, LUCI collects data that determines safe paths and modifies the chair's response, like slowing down before an unexpected drop-off or halting to prevent a collision. An associated app, the MyLUCI portal, allows users to track and share data such as their chair's charging status and location.
The invention is the brainchild of Grammy-nominated songwriter Barry Dean, LUCI's Founder and CEO, whose 19-year-old daughter Katherine has cerebral palsy and has used a wheelchair her entire life.

The Adonis Cabaret is probably the most famous ladies' night in the UK and has continued to expand its audience over the past three years. It is a music, comedy and men show aimed exclusively at women, with a large proportion of its audience celebrating hen nights. The Cabaret currently appears weekly at venues in Brighton and Bournemouth and will be starting a London show in March 2004. Due to high demand, two more weekly venues are being added in Brighton and Bournemouth , from June to September 2004. The Adonis Cabaret also tours extensively in the UK and internationally, including San Francisco , Miami and most of Europe . If available, the team is bookable for events inclusive of performers, lighting, sound, stage effects, music, posters and tickets.
The Adonis Cabaret shows last for around two hours and consist of two male hunks with a drag queen/comic compare. Although there is full monty, the emphasis is on comedy and entertainment, with dance routines, impressions and, even, a fire-breathing act. No-one in the audience gets humiliated in any, nor do the guys manhandle any of the women. Entrance is typically reasonable and includes a buffet, free cocktail, party games/prizes, photos and VIP entry to a local nightclub. Current special offers include free admission for the "hen" for parties of 20 or more. Audiences are typically around 300 per show in the high season, which lasts from May to September.
The Adonis Cabaret is one of the best known adult acts in the UK and has been widely reviewed in the national press, including the Evening Standard, Cosmopolitan and Bliss for Brides. In addition, there have been a number of TV appearances from the performers, including the Graham Norton Show, Holby City and Eastenders. The company is expanding all the time and is planning a weekly show in Nottingham. Other popular hen night spots, such as Blackpool and Newcastle , are also due to be targeted in the future.

Open Access Articles On Insulin Resistance Associated With HIV-Disease
Multi-drug regimens called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have changed HIV disease from a life-threatening, terminal illness to a chronic disease. Unfortunately, prolonged survival is accompanied by metabolic abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism, including an increased incidence of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and increased waist-to-hip ratio, a compilation of abnormalities now known as the metabolic syndrome and overt diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of insulin resistance among HIV infected individuals is high, with estimates of up to 46% reported by Behrens et al. with 13% classified as diabetic based on an oral glucose tolerance test. (McNurlan M, Chromium Therapy for Insulin Resistance Associated with HIV-Disease). Open access to the scientific literature means the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel "roads" towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are immediately, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is "self-archiving" (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (including so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals. Open Access raises practical and policy questions for scholars, publishers, funders, and policymakers alike, including what the return on investment is when paying an article processing fee to publish in an Open Access articles, or whether investments into institutional repositories should be made and whether self-archiving should be made mandatory, as contemplated by some funders.

Jack Lowe and The Lifeboat Station Project
Jack has loved the RNLI since he was a little boy. He is now devoting his working life to visiting all 238 RNLI lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland to photograph our volunteer crews along with the view from each station. It's a project that will take him 8 years to complete. He also makes portraits of the RNLI's Coxswains, Helms, mechanics and women crew.

Jack Lowe
Why did you decide to embark on this project with the RNLI?
My early childhood was spent on a Victorian schooner in Ramsgate harbour and on the Thames. My dad is an experienced seafarer and introduced me to the wonders of lifeboats – these wonderful, powerful pieces of kit designed for heroic, lifesaving missions on stormy seas.
From an early age, I knew that I wanted to be either a photographer or a lifeboat crew member when I grew up. Now I'm following my heart and uniting the two dreams.
What photographic method are you using?
I'm using a photographic technique developed in the 1850s, around the time that the RNLI was incorporated under Royal Charter. The photographs are made directly onto glass plates known as 'ambrotypes'.
The word photography means drawing with light and that is how I think about it still. I adore photography in this very raw, basic form – light falling on chemicals. It really is magical – the final image is always a surprise, even to me.'
What sort of support do you get from the crews?
The project now enjoys an incredible extra dimension as everyone is so involved and engaged with it – the Coxswain and crew can step into my mobile darkroom – a converted ambulance called Neena - and watch a portrait of themselves developing. They are entranced, often rendered speechless and sometimes moved to tears!
It's a real labour of love – even for a dedicated RNLI fan – but Jack always looks forward to his next station visit. You'll find further information about The Lifeboat Station Project at lifeboatstationproject.com.

Wouldn't you like to wake up every morning knowing that you're doing your part to preserve important bird habitat?
We think it's such an important choice that we've organized a Golden Gate Audubon Coffee Club to make buying and enjoying the right bird-friendly coffee a breeze. And if you're not already drinking shade-grown organic coffee, you'll be thrilled by the rich, clean flavor of Birds & Beans coffees. Birds & Beans coffees are certified as bird-friendly by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.
Birds & Beans is offering a great incentive by waiving the shipping charges for GGAS Coffee Club members. Golden Gate Audubon is not charging any markup on these orders—you are getting the coffee at cost.
Take a look at the options below and join the club today. See the instructions below to send an email with your selections or complete this PDF and then email or FAX the form.
Note: All orders are shipped whole bean unless specified.
Ground coffee options include: Coarse, Extra Fine (Kingbird Espresso Only), Fine, or Medium grind.
Espresso coffee option: Extra Fine.
There is no additional charge for grinding.
Place your order and mail your check (made out to Birds and Beans Coffee) to Erica by the last day of the month for delivery during the third week of the following month.
Pick up your coffee either at the Speaker Series in Berkeley (every other month), Oakland location or at the GGAS office.
Let Erica know if you want your orders to be renewed on a recurring monthly basis.
Contact Erica to make alternate payment arrangements such as e-check for recurring monthly orders.
Erica will email all coffee club members upon delivery.
GGAS office hours for coffee pick-up are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9 am to noon and other times by appointment.
The address is 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Suite G (at Blake) in Berkeley, phone: (510) 843-2222.
Many of the warbler, oriole, and flycatcher species that we love winter in the tropics and depend on forest habitat.
There aren't laws that regulate which coffee can be labeled as shade-grown. Without careful shopping, your good intentions might be for naught.
Next to tobacco, conventionally grown (non-organic) coffee is sprayed with more chemicals than any other product consumed by humans.
Coffee-producing countries have some of the highest numbers of threatened bird species due to deforestation and loss of habitat.
Coffee is the largest US food import. Some 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed in the world daily.

Here's how your body responds after weeks, months and years sticking to a vegan diet.
For those who have pursued a diet rich in meat and dairy for most of their lives, embarking on a vegan diet can lead to significant changes within the body.
If a doctor hasn't instructed you to take vitamin D tablets, then you may be taking pills you don't really need.
A vitamin B12 deficiency would negate the benefits of a vegan diet for heart disease and stroke risk and can cause permanent nerve and brain damage.
You won't be getting your calcium from dairy on a vegan diet, so it's important to look into supplements and fortified foods.
It might sound good for you – but is it actually?
Explore more than 300 vegan recipes, from pumpkin porridge and tofu scrambles for breakfast to main meals and a world of baking, including indulgent cakes and easy biscuits.

The Best & Worst Arsenal Kits Ever
Admin October 30, 2016 November 10, 2016 Premier League Heroes Posts
Most football clubs have had made one or two rather unfashionable and regrettable decisions when it comes to redesigning a new kit for their players and Arsenal are no exception.
Thankfully however the Gunners have also pulled out of the bag some fantastically stylish and popular kit designs.
We dip into this mixed bag of striking, shocking and least of all surprising kit choices that have ever graced East London.
AWAY SHIRT 1991-1993
This yellow eyesore was the sickening sight that every Premier League ground around the country had to endure as the visiting Arsenal side walked out on to the pitch.
There's no other way to describe this overly complicated design other than an ill-thought-out atrocity.
A splurge of black chevrons patterned the shirt entirely almost blotting out the clubs badge and red JVC logo.
HOME SHIRT – 1998-99
Off the back of the success of their previous season, thanks to winning the double and picking up both the Premier League title as well as lifting the FA Cup, the Gunners switched out their home shirt once more.
This particular Arsenal home kit was significant in the fact that it would be the final time we would see the JVC logo plastered across the chest as the club's partnership with the Japanese company would come to an end after 20 long years.
The darker blue edging gave it some style it's a shirt that gone on to become a true club classic.
AWAY SHIRT – 1993-94
Another bright yellow entry here that has often divided opinion is the 1993-94 Arsenal away shirt.
It's not the most disastrous design we've seen to date however with its triple black Adidas stripes stretching diagonally down from the neckline to the base it did seem a little overkill especially as the vastly prominent stripes had little to do with the club itself other than for sponsorship purposes. Thankfully it only lasted for a single season.
This almost experimental kit design was unveiled under the pretext that it was in some way related to the club's first season at Highbury.
No matter what the reason this redcurrant and gold shirt was still striking and quite far removed from past offerings and worn as a tribute to mark the Gunners final season at their Highbury home before they would be moving in to the Emirates.

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.
Separate 2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated original biscuits into 16 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces; press out each piece until flat.
In small bowl, stir together 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut 4 oz cream cheese (half of 8-oz package) into 48 small pieces. Roll each piece of cream cheese in brown sugar mixture; place 1 piece in center of 48 flattened biscuits. Place 1 pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs in center of each of the remaining 16 flattened biscuits. Pull up sides of each flattened biscuit; pinch seams to seal.
Dip each dough ball in 1/2 cup melted butter; roll around in remaining brown sugar mixture. Layer coated dough balls in pan, scattering chocolate egg-filled ones throughout.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Place heatproof plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan.
In small bowl, beat 1 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon water with whisk until smooth. Drizzle icing over slightly cooled monkey bread. Decorate top with additional pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs.
To make the icing creamier, mix with 1 tablespoon whipping cream instead of water.
You can substitute chocolate-covered peanut butter eggs for the pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs.

Cash for Clunkers: Did It Work?
Posted on September 6, 2010 by mollie
NPR reported a study that tried to assess the impact of the Cash for Clunkers program, an incentive program offered by the federal government to stimulate car sales. The study concluded that: "The program didn't bring new buyers into the market. But it encouraged people who would have bought a car anyway to make their purchase a few months sooner." From a research perspective, the challenge is to determine what impact the program had. The reporter noted, "The only way to answer the question definitively would be to find a parallel universe exactly like ours, except for one thing: no cash for clunkers program. The economists behind the new study — Amir Sufi of the University of Chicago and Atif Mian of the University of California, Berkeley — think they found a passable substitute for a parallel universe: parts of the U.S. where, for one reason or another, there were almost no clunkers on the road when the program took effect." In jargon, this would be a quasi-experimental design using statistical controls to create a comparison group. From a research perspective, one question that should spring to mind is exactly how could they determine where clunkers existed and where they did not. Assuming they could find way to measure clunkers in communities in so they could be compared, the next question would be whether there were other systematic differences in the community that might help explain why they did or did not buy cars after the program ended. Lastly, was there other external factors that might have impacted car buying behavior after the program ended–like whether the economy was worse? The program, however, was not intended to help consumers–although they did benefit by paying about $4,000 less for a new car with their clunker trade-in. The beneficiaries of actual dollars were car dealerships and ultimately, car manufacturers, who received some portion of the $2.5 billion spent on this program. The same question could be asked of the stimulus money that went to first-time home buyers. They too received "money" that would reduce the price of the purchased home. In this case, the mortgage

companies were the real beneficiaries–who now had a new crop of interest-paying buyers who perhaps offset foreclosure losses. And were the results similar? Did home sales drop dramatically after the program ended? That appears to be the case. The larger question, then, is whether these type of incentive programs designed to spur short-term market activity can help turn-around the recession and restore long-term economic growth.
