MIDLIFE CRISIS COMING TO AN END...FAITH NO MORE WORKING ON NEW MUSIC>
In an interview with Chandler Sorrells, Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum has revealed that he and bandmates Billy Gould (Bass) and Mike Bordin (Drums) have been steadily working on new music. This comes three years after the release of the bands comeback album "Sol Invictus." In the interview, Bottum was asked if there was anything that he could share regarding the current status of the band and where they may be going in the future and this was his statement:
"The last record was a real struggle to make. It felt really good and it was a really great exercise in taking us and our inner family creative process to the next level. It was a place that we kind of needed to go to make 'Sol Invictus'. We had spent a lot of time sort of coming back together and getting to know each other again and making music again and playing old songs, and then it kind of reached a point where it felt kind of dirty to just do what we were doing, just [playing] these shows of old songs. So we took it to the next level [by making an album] and that felt really good. I think we all walked away from that- even though it was like a really hard process to get through that record- I think we all walked away from it with really positive and optimistic sort of perspectives." He then went on to say, "I will periodically go to San Francisco and make music with those guys. What we do is a really special, unique thing that we kind of share- especially like me and Mike Bordin and Billy...We were super young - we were, like, 18 or 19 years old-when we started making music, so we kind of get in the room and we have a language that speaks really loud and really clear, at least to the three of us. I mean, where it goes is questionable, but we have sort of a language that's kind of undeniable in a really sort of family sense. And I think we all acknowledge that its not something that any of us want to turn our backs on, and its kind of fun to do. So in hopes of pushing things forward and making new music, we continue to do that, to get together and make new sounds and just have dialogue about prospects and songs and where we go in the future." Sorrells asked if that means he and the band have been jamming and producing new musical ideas with no set goal, and Roddy stated "Yeah, that's fair to say. Yes. Absolutely."
It was just last year that Faith No More front man Mike Patton told Full Metal Jackie that the band was on an "extended break." He then went on to say that "if something happens, it'll happen organically and naturally. But I kind of don't think it will. I kind of feel we've tipped these scales a little bit. But we'll see. Who knows? I've learned my lesson not to say no." Patton also stressed that he would never rule out performing future shows with the band. At any rate, this is great news to hear that Faith No More is making progress towards new material.
In 2015, 'Sol Invictus' put Faith No More back on the map. It was an instant classic that reminded fans and critics alike just how amazing the band can be. It even won Best Album of 2015 for the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards as well as best Alternative Metal Album for the Metal Storm Awards. The album received positive reception from all professional critics. Metacritic rated the album 79 out of 100 based on reviews from 25 critics. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it the #2 on their top 20 Metal Albums of 2015. Faith No More is a band that has always been light years ahead of its time. To hear that the band is even contemplating new music is octaves to our ears. Whenever I hear Faith No More mentioned, I cant help but go back to the days of MTV videos in 1989 and watching the video for the song "Epic." Lets just hope that Faith No More's new release will be even more epic. I cannot wait to hear Mike Patton's level 6 octaves blaring out metal carnage. Until next time folks, this is Jason Voorhees signing off.

Epic Midlife Crisis A Small Victory Angel Dust Falling To Pieces Easy Last Cup Of Sorrow Superhero
BROAD STREET FOOLIES
On Monday the Philadelphia Flyers fired General Manager Ron Hextall. Ironically, Hextall was relieved of his duties by the same guy that he replaced back on May 17, 2014, Paul Holmgren. When Holmgren was replaced that season he actually received a promotion to the position of President. Now maybe I am naïve, but usually when an executive does not have success in a lower level position they generally don't get promoted. During Holmgren's eight seasons as the general manager, the Flyers had six playoff appearances, one division title, one conference title, and one Stanley Cup appearance (2010). One would argue that these results were not terrible, but the ultimate truth is that it was more of the same mediocre product on the ice (in a large market organization) that is starving for a championship. And the name of the game is to win a championship and the Flyers are still searching for that title 43 years later.
43 years of Failure. 43 years of inconsistency. 43 years of blood, sweat, and tears from loyal passionate fans that are dying to hold Lord Stanley's Cup once again. 43 years of fans getting their hopes up only to be let down like a hot air balloon. Ed Snider built this organization with the idea that they would be perennial contenders on a yearly basis and that they would be the most feared team in the NHL. Well those days are way long gone. NO ONE...I repeat...NO ONE is scared of the Flyers these days. In fact, teams are licking their chops when they see the Flyers on the schedule. No more BROAD STREET BULLIES. These days its the Broad Street Foolies. It has been one dysfunctional rollercoaster ride through the years. And the main failure of this franchise has been the inability to adapt to the changing NHL landscape.
In this instance, Ron Hextall is just a scapegoat; Paul Holmgren choosing to make a change at a higher level which just masks his own ineptitude. The easy way out would have been to fire coach Dave Hakstol, although that would have been totally justified as well. Holmgren cited Hextall's lack of aggressiveness and a philosophical impasse as the reason for making the decision. Flyers CEO David Scott stated that Hextall was "very confident in his plan and his vision, and he wasn't going to waver from that plan." Scott explained that the organization believes that the team can be better now rather than two or three years from now. This suggests that ownership is feeling pressure from the fans and the dip in attendance to improve now; and not continue on the slow gradual incline that the team has been following under Hextall's leadership.
As a die hard fan, I am not buying what Scott and Holmgren are putting out there. In my opinion, this Is a classic coup d'état by Holmgren to bring in someone that will be a "yes" man. Holmgren is the main problem in my opinion and he should have been the one to get the axe. Holmgren created a cap hell during his tenure as the GM and he never brought this team any success. At least Ron Hextall was able to build a great farm system and bring in multiple prospects that could blossom into superstars. Paul Holmgren was a horrible coach, he was a horrible GM, and now he is a horrible President. This organization needs a total overhaul starting at the TOP. We need fresh eyes at the wheel and this means Holmgren has to go.
The long term success of this team hangs in the balance and unless Ed Snider can come back from the dead this team is destined for 43 more years of failure. Please do the right thing Dave Scott, terminate Paul Holmgren and bring in someone with zero ties to the Flyer organization. Also, revamp the roster starting with the captain Giroux. Its time to rebuild. Giroux comes up small in the playoffs and is not getting any younger. And for God's sake...please get an NHL quality goaltender. Enough of the rant...in conclusion...
the Flyers need to blow up the team starting with Holmgren. Hakstol needs to go as well. One year the Flyers will finally get things right. Let's hope that ownership gets their head out of their ass and realize the mistakes of the past. Keeping the old boys network (Holmgren, Clarke, Smith) in key positions in the organization is not fixing the problem. So either do something about it or keep drinking the KOOL AID! More to Come.
As the song says I really have been away for too long. It feels like eternity since the pen last met paper (or in this case that the finger graced its presence with the keyboard.) At any rate, I would like to thank the Philly Rock Radio Team (Kevin and Johnny E) for talking me out of retirement. Hopefully this wont be another KISS reunion tour. This past year has been a roller coaster ride for me personally and I am looking forward to being able to do what I love again; and that is write about the two most passionate things in my life: heavy metal music and professional sports. The best part about writing is that it enables the author to connect with its fans in ways that are beyond measure. I enjoy being able to educate people and bring interesting topics to the table. Writing is a special type of entertainment because it enables the reader to form their own opinion and interpretation of the writers point of view. Right, wrong, or indifference are not in play when it comes to a blog. That is what makes blogging so much fun in my opinion; the fact that we all have a spoke in the wheel so to speak. Anyways, enough jargon for the evening. I just want you all to know that I am happy to be back and thankful to be apart of Philly Rock Radio once again. I look forward to bringing the Sports N Metal Blog to the next level and maybe eventually having my own radio show to support it as well.
Some quick sports tidbits...The Flyers gave Ron Hextall the axe today. I can't say I saw this coming but I am also not surprised. Scapegoat some would say. I say its the coach and the players. Claude Giroux has been an extreme disappointment in the playoffs as has Simmonds and Voracek. Time will tell...hopefully they take their time and get someone who can change the culture of the franchise.
Meanwhile, the Phillies have been linked to virtually every free agent and would be trade candidate in the league: Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Jean Segura, Craig Kimbrell, Patrick Corbin, Paul Goldshmidt, Edwin Diaz, Andrew Miller, JA Happ, and the list goes on and on. One name you can cross off the list is Josh Donaldson who signed with the Atlanta Braves today. I actually have a funny story that will blow your mind. This past summer I purchased MLB 2018 and played the franchise mode where you take a team through season after season as the GM and make trades, sign free agents, etc. Well, of course it was the off season and this is how I made my play: Signed Manny Machado and Bryce Harper to 10 year $300 million dollar contracts. Signed Patrick Corbin to a 10 year $125 million dollar contract. Traded for Paul Goldshmidt. Signed Craig Kimbrell to a 4 year $54 million dollar contract. And traded for Jean Segura. The lineup was Jean Segura, Paul Goldshmidt, Manny Machado, Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins, Carlos Santana, Odubel Herera, JP Crawford, and Alfaro. Lol...what a pipe dream right. Dreamers can dream. But hey...this really could happen if the Phillies spend the "stupid" money that they are reportedly looking to spend...stay tuned.
And yay, the Eagles are finally back in the win column and are one win away from taking over the NFC East lead...who would have thought. And finally, Markell Fultz is getting his shoulder looked at once again. What are the odds of him being a sixer any time after this season...not looking good. Well, if nothing else, 2019 is gonna be one wild ride for philly sports one way or another. Well this concludes my first day back at the wheel...its great to be back and you will be seeing a lot more of MR VOORHEES going forward so you better watch your back...the red coats are coming.

A fusion of bharatanatyam and Shakespeare's female characters
A unique bharatanatyam performance portraying eight famous female characters from Shakespeare's plays was showcased for a charity show at the Avila Convent Matriculation Higher Secondary School.
The mesmerising dance, named Ashtanayikas in Shakespeare, performed by Shreya Kallingal and her team was for a fund raising programme organised by the Avila alumni for its Golden Jubilee charity event.
Sreejaya N.V, the host, alumni of Avila convent and Shreya's mother said, "The amount collected from the show will go into building 10 houses for homeless people."
The concept, choreography and costume for the show was done by Shreya. "Being a feminist, with an interest in literature and bharatanatyam made me think about how I could bring together the female characters of Shakespeare and the classical dance on one platform, and Ashtanayikas is the result of that," she said.

Following on from my last blog post, there are two observations I believe warrant making in this platform. The first is welcome to our world and please stay with us.
I will deal with the latter in a later blog post.
With some of the observations that our ratepayers have made on this years draft budget I say welcome to our world. You are experiencing what we (the councillors) experience each year.
Elected members historically focus only on new initiatives in our budget deliberations. New initiatives in the operating projects amount this year to $ 1.2 m. This is very small compared to our general rates income of some $ 38 m.
Ongoing operating programs are reviewed regularly by elected members during what is known as regular service reviews. They are therefore not addressed at budget time . This includes a number of initiatives in our environment strategy.
Things like maintaining our parks and gardens. That includes the Village Green. So while we have been criticised by some for not allowing maintenance of the Village green in our budget we have. It just is not highlighted. Showing the maintenance of every one of our parks and gardens woudl make for a very complex budget and therefore not shown.
Then there are new initiatives such as the Brownhill Creek flood mitigation project, funded through capital works and loan funding. The biggest single environmental project I suggest we have ever done.
Talking roads, rates and rubbish which some have asked us to focus on. We have been asked to spend more in this area. After a service review we will actually be spending some $ 1.0 m pa more on reactive footpath repair. Requests to resurface Kenilworth Road. It is in the budget.
Yes. Welcome to our world.
We elected members focus on just 1/40th of the overall budget. You get to comment on that too.
This is not easy for sure but please stay with us. If you do you will become more intimate with the budget and it's real depth.
Yes the decisions are pending on Brownhill Creek with West Torrens supporting Option D, Burnside Council delaying a decision on Brownhill Creek on Tuesday night, Unley next Monday night and the other two councils later this month. So over the next 3 weeks we will know where the Councils all stand.
For my part and as demonstrated in my series of blog posts on the subject I come into this months marathon of meetings not happy with with the information we have to make a qualified decision. Readers of this blog page would realise this.
Whether we are talking option D or option B2 we don't in my opinion have the information we need to make not only a qualified decision but an ergonomically and financially responsible. A decision that IS THE best solution not driven by ideology.
I have canvassed a number of issues in the last week or two on this platform. In this blog post I aim to bring them to a head and acknowledge a couple of other equally importation issues.
2 A lack of logic with both options pursuing a quick discharge of stormwater through the system rather than the community wide local government understanding that retention and allowing a slow feed over time.
3 Dispelling myths from all groups that have been promoting a self interest cause, including the Project.
4 Enlightening the uninformed on what a dam might look it.
5 Questioning why we cant incorporate a stormwater harvesting component to the solution.
So as decisions are pending on Brownhill Creek my head is in addressing the need for more detail for better clarity and costing and addressing the the sensible approach of stormwater harvesting. The motion on the table does not provide this and I am not convinced the B2 option does either.
If Option D falls over as I suspect it will on Monday night, and Jennies advertised B2 motion also struggles I am drafting a motion that allows more work to be done on both options to allow a more qualified decision.
Why not a Brownhill Creek stormwater harvesting opportunity.
As we close in on our decision on the way to go I ask Why not a Brownhill Creek stormwater harvesting opportunity?
I refer to our resolution of August 2012 calling for "other methods not currently in use (to) diminish local flooding" to be explored. I am disappointed that no more stormwater harvesting opportunities have been identified than previously reported in the 2012 stormwater management plan. I say this particularly in relation to the potential offered by collecting stormwater for reuse in a flood control dam in Ellisons Gully, recognising that the economic benefits during drought of such an opportunity could make Option B2 more attractive.
Back in 2012 the City Unley called on the project to explore more stormwater harvesting opportunities. This was no idle request. We had taken the lead with the detention dam we recently completed up at Ridge Park in Myrtle Bank. This is a project that incorporated an aquifer recharge.
The Project was well aware of this project, having provided the design work for it. It is a project that achieve water harvesting outcomes on Glen Osmond Creek, noting the increase from 20 ML per annum to 60 ML per annum found for both flood control and water harvesting. This is contributing to the watering of Unley's parks and gardens, saving our rate payers the cost of paying for water from other sources.
We have been told access into that aquifer is not possible in Ellisons Gully but my memory is we were told the same thing about Ridge Park. We pursued investigating this and found not only was it possible but we did it.
So Option D may yet have stormwater harvesting opportunities. The same can be said I suggest for Option B2.
So why not a Brownhill Creek stormwater harvesting opportunity? Why not explore if there is an ecologically and financially responsible solution.
Sooner or later it comes down to this. Brownhill Creek Am I any closer to a decision?
I have tried to decipher for my own benefit what the factors re that go to making the correct decision. This has not been easy having said that.
An interesting challenge for someone who sees himself not as a politician but more of a pragmatist. I have to make a decision and I am trying hard to get the balanced view.
A politician I am I recognise however. And I recognise the politics of the situation I find myself in.
The "No Dam" case which gained momentum in 2102 put their political case well and captured the hearts of the state. Back then and isolated the City of Mitcham, alone amongst the 5 councils, fought hard to promote a no dam case.
Unley, too (amongst the councils) were the pragmatists, worked to ensure all possible options were explored.
As other options were explored including options that never in my mind had any credence including the high flow culverts an option emerged only as a result of revised hydrology being provided courtesy of the BOM.
Throughout this process however I have learnt how politics plays such a factor in public decision making. I have continuously been lobbied. By special interest groups, by my fellow councillors, by City of Mitcham Councillors. I have the same people plus City of West Torrens councillors, and of course the press query what my position is.
You know what. As we speak I still have one or two unanswered questions and/or concerns that remain unresolved. So whichever way you think I might be leaning (and I am leaning one way) I have yet to make my final decision. I expect that I will swing one way or the other as the deputations we are likely to receive on the night and the debate around the table occur.
For those who think they can still lobby me I want to remain a pragmatist and any argument provided by a self interest group I will treat as opinion only. Please don't you may lose me.


As an online student, your child is aware of the worth of utilizing the net to socialize. Social abilities activities are available a variety of forms however all of them have the same goal – to assist your child change into a better communicator and study to work with others. Games are an exquisite strategy to introduce social ideas to youngsters of varying developmental levels, as a result of play is the first method during which children receive and course of information.
Playing something with your children and truly having a very good time with them increases their shallowness, gives you enjoyable family reminiscences, and provides your kids with numerous studying opportunities to grow. These children do not appear socially hesitant, although; sly grins and good-natured teasing dominate.
The teens, who are right here by selection, don't play just any sport; the group emphasizes those games that require teamwork, dialogue and an understanding of hidden feelings, as a substitute of video games or particular person pursuits. Here are six ways you'll be able to help children practice social consciousness and relationship skills during recess.
That is especially true with the list beneath; these games could be learn like a digital textual content, interpreted equally to how film or books are critiqued. Many dad and mom will agree, I think, that when you try to ban one thing from the home, youngsters will somehow handle to get maintain of or do it elsewhere.
When Trip Hawkins left Apple to begin Digital Arts in 1982, he wanted to make the type of games that he and other younger grownup males appreciated to play. These actions are egg-cellent as a result of youngsters get to make good use of plastic Easter eggs to finish them. Make The Statue Giggle: Children freeze like statues, then one child-who is it"-must try to get them to interrupt character and snort. I don't imagine in refusing my youngsters pc games which are widespread so long as they are not harmful.
Youngsters have been eligible to participate after they have been between 7 and eleven years previous, participated in common education, have been proficient within the English language, had access to a pc with internet connection at house, and were vulnerable to behavioral and/or emotional issues based mostly on the survey mother and father accomplished.
Social emotional actions for preschoolers is progressing in your neighborhood related to social and also psychological development Discover out what social means and also behaviors your son or daughter will probably need to show to make the most helpful change to kindergarten.
I imagine struggle games do not straight map to violent actions because there's a diploma of separation. I believe conflict video games at their worst might influence gamers to lean in direction of extra violent resolutions but largely aren't educating gamers to be violent.
The Cooney Center's understanding of social influence video games dates back to 2009, when the nonprofit research group issued a paper entitled Recreation Changer. Children who lack proper social expertise typically tend to have difficulties in sustaining significant relationships as adults.


Contents Up to date, in vitro maturation (IVM) rates of oocytes are highly variable between individual cats. This study was carried out to investigate the predictive value of age and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) concentration in relation to capacity for IVM of cat oocytes. Ovaries were collected from 33 cats, which were divided into three age groups: (i) 0-3months (pre-pubertal); (ii) 3-12months (peripubertal); and (iii) older than 12months (pubertal). The cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured and subsequently stained to check nuclear maturation status, and blood was taken for AMH analysis. Increasing age was significantly associated with decreasing AMH levels, and mean AMH levels differed significantly between all age categories: group 1: mean AMH 18.71g/L; group 2: mean AMH 9.27g/L; and group 3: mean AMH 4.13g/L. Moreover, the probability of maturation was more likely in groups 2 and 3 compared to group 1. Between categories 2 and 3, no significant difference in maturation probability was found (p=.31). Finally, the probability of oocyte maturation decreased significantly with increasing AMH levels. In age group 2, oocytes with a higher AMH level were less likely to mature. In age groups 1 and 3, no significant association between the AMH level and the proportion of maturated COC was found. We can conclude that if a higher probability of nuclear maturation is required, it is preferable to use cats with lower AMH levels and older than 3months of age to improve cat IVM.

Investigation of Antimicrobial Activity of the Extracts of the Leaves, Stembark and Root of Allanblackia floribunda: An Alternative Paradigm Shift Outcome.

Over the years, plants have been a major source of medicines, especially in the rural areas of the developing communities, with probably lack of functional health care facilities and trained health care personnel on hand for emergency medical response. However, with the dynamics and improvement in science and medicine, chemically synthesized drugs were being introduced and used to treat myriad of critical illnesses across board. Nonetheless, these were further strengthened owing to the increasing trend of drug resistance outcome, especially by the emerging and re-emerging infectious microorganisms. Thus, in the light of the above, there is a gradual but increasing steady return to the use of plants as sources of medicine and treatment of antibiotic resistance pathogens and illness across the globe. This study therefore, explores the use of antimicrobial activity of the leaves, stembark and root of Allanblackia floribunda on four bacterial isolates namely Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. Methylated spirit, ethanol and distilled water were used as the extraction solvents differently. Ethanol extracts proved to be a better solvent compared with the other two while the extracts from distilled water were not active against any of the isolates. However, all the three ethanol extracts were more active against S. aureus while Pseudomonas sp. showed a higher level of resistance to the extracts. The leaves and root of the plant were more active on most of the isolates compared with the stembark as shown in the results section.

The use of plants as a source of drugs has for a long time been recognized and appreciated, thus has resulted in the discovery of plants with the tendency of strong potency to cure illnesses 1. Nonetheless, WHO survey report show that about 80% of persons living in developing countries depend on traditional medicines; most of which are obtained from plants 2. Nevertheless, in Africa specifically, interests in plant exploration as source of medicine have increased geometrically, over the recent years when compared with the past or dark ages. This interest stems from the fact that microorganisms are developing resistance to most drugs, as such most of the cheap and broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs have become less, or non-effective against a good number of fastidious and emerging pathogens of medical importance. Nevertheless, the ineffectiveness of these drugs could probably stem from the frequent use of drugs by self-medication, consumption of under dose or overdose, as well as the acquisition of resistant genes by these microorganisms probably, through their frequent contact and interaction with the contaminated environment, even as the increasing upsurge of climate change variation index, cannot be left out as one of the seemingly promoter of high prevalence cases of antibiotic resistance issues across the globe. Sadly, this has become a public health issue, and so the need to explore alternatives approach for the treatment of infections and diseases cannot be over emphasized at this point. Studies on plants have continued to grow from strength to strength, as most of the drugs obtained from plants are secondary metabolites which are not necessarily needed by plants but however needed by humans as potent therapeutic substances 3.
In recent times, some plants and fungi have been found to also have antioxidant activity, not just antimicrobial activity alone. These antioxidants and antimicrobials are useful in food industries as natural additives, thus replacing the synthetic (chemically synthesized) antioxidants and antimicrobials 4. An example is that from the mushroom Pleurotuspulmonarius and Pleurotusostreatuswhich demonstrated promising antimicrobial activity against some pathogenic microorganisms 5. Nevertheless, these discoveries have thus, created a huge milestone of achievement in the invention of new effective drugs, due to their relatively low cost and less side effects in practical terms of application 6.
In Western Africa, medicinal plants have been used severally in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections 7. In Nigeria, especially in the rural areas, most families rely on the different parts of bitter leaf, scent leaf and sour sop not only as spices or in cooking but also in the treatment of different illnesses such as gastroenteritis and fever. Spices and herbs have been useful in treating pathological infections 8. Wounds and chronic skin ulcers have been treated using herbs prepared locally and other substances that occur naturally in the environment for many years now 9; even in the failure of antibiotics, these plants and herbs have proved to be effective 10. Plants such as Vernonia amygdalina(bitter leaf) has been studied and found to be able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans 11 respectively.
The Allanblackiagenus is of the Guttiferae family and Clusiodeae subfamily. It is found in Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania, Angola and Sierra Leone 12. The seeds from the trees are used in preparing food, soap and cooking oil. Its oil has a higher melting point and is able to congeal even when the cooked food is consumed. Although it is native to the wild, in recent times, it has been domesticated due to the high demand of its oil which serves as a means of income for farmers in Africa. This is because the renowned Unilever Company has found out that the oil from this plant is useful in the production of ice creams, spreads and vegetable-based dairy products. The oil is highly nutritive and needed by cosmetic industries as source of raw materials 12, 13.
Furthermore, both the seeds and fruits are edible; its bitter seedcake is used as animal feed, while vegetable oil is produced from its seeds. During the First World War, the seeds were majorly used as a substitute for butter and in chocolate production. The bark is pounded and used as toothache pain reliever and in the treatment of diarrhoea in Ghana. Its generic name was named after Allan Black who was a 19th century Kew botanist while the specific name floribunda explains the abundant flowers this species has 14.
However, in the extraction of active substances from plants, the choice of solvent has been found to determine the efficacy of the extract. Ethanol is most often used for extraction and in some cases methanol; nevertheless, both are usually more effective when compared with the use of water (distilled water) as an extraction solvent. The method of extraction also differs as methods such as maceration, Soxhlet, Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) and Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) may be used in the extraction of bioactive substances from plants. This study was thus aimed at determining the effectiveness of extracts of different parts of Allanblackia floribunda on some pathogenic microorganisms. It is therefore strongly believed that this investigation would provide a robust data on the parts of the plant which are endowed with the large amount of deposition of the therapeutic substances, as well as elucidate the best and effective solvent medium for the extraction of the antimicrobial component of the plant parts. It is finally our firm expectation that the information generated from the study, would certainly promote the use of medicinal plant extract for treatment of infections among the weak and vulnerable subjects in the developing communities, especially in the era of multi-drug resistance circumstances and high cost of broad spectrum antibiotics with high index of efficacy, even as these has remains a massive challenge towards solving health problems, especially in remote villages of developing nations
The mature plant Allanblackia floribunda used in this study was obtained from Mgbere village, Ibaa Community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State. This is one of the remote communities in Rivers State and the occupations of the inhabitants of the community are fishing, farming and petty trading. Furthermore, the plant was identified by a plant taxonomist in the Biological Science Department of Rivers State University.
The test microorganisms used were obtained from the Microbiology unit of the University of Port Teaching Hospital in Port Harcourt, they were sub-cultured and thereafter sustained in nutrient broth prior to use. The organisms used were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. Gram's test and some biochemical tests such as coagulase, catalase, sugar fermentation, urease, motility and citrate were carried out to confirm and validate the identity of the collected isolates as described by Cheesbrough 15
Ethanol and methylated spirit were used as extraction solvents while distilled water was used as a control extraction solvent and the maceration method was used also. The plant parts (leaves, stembark and roots) to be used were washed with distilled water to remove debris and after which, air dried for two weeks. The dried leaves were crushed using pre-washed and sterilized mortar and pistol into powdery form. 5 g, 8 g and 10 g of the leaves, roots and stembark respectively were weighed into sterile conical flasks differently. 100 ml of each of the extraction solvents were added to the weighed powders, shaken vigorously for some time and allowed to stand undisturbed for 72 hours. After 72 hours, the extracts were separated using Whatman No 1 filter paper into sterile beakers; the recovered liquid extracts were evaporated till they were aqueous and preserved for further use. After extraction, 4.3 g, 8 g and 6.5 g of the leaves, stembark and root aqueous extracts were obtained respectively.
Screening of Extracts for Antimicrobial Actions Using Agar Well Diffusion Method
From a 24 hour old broth culture of each organism, 0.1 ml was seeded on prepared Mueller Hinton agar plates, spread evenly using a glass rod spreader and allowed to stand for 2 minutes. Using a 9 mm sterile cork borer, four wells were bored on the plate and 0.1 ml of the test extracts were dispensed into each well; the extraction solvents were used as control and put into the fourth well. The plates were allowed to stand for 30 minutes and thereafter incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours. This procedure was repeated for each of the isolates. After 24 hours, the plates were examined for zones of inhibition determined by measuring the area where the growth of the organism was inhibited.
Screening of Extracts for Antimicrobial Actions Using Disc Diffusion Method
Isolates were suspended in distilled water and adjusted to 0.5 Macfarland's standard which is equivalent to about 108 Cfu/ml 15. 0.1 ml of the suspension was seeded on prepared Muller Hinton agar, spread using a sterile glass rod spreader and allowed to stand for 2 minutes. Filter papers were cut into small pieces of 9 mm, sterilized in a hot air oven at 200 °C for an hour and then impregnated with the extracts. The impregnated filter papers were then placed on the inoculated plates aseptically. Four impregnated filter papers were placed on each plate. The fourth disc was impregnated with the extraction solvent. The set up was allowed to stand for 30 minutes and thereafter incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the zones of inhibition was measured and recorded in millimeters.
Determination of Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
Four test tubes were set up for each extract to which 9 ml of the nutrient broth was added, the mouth plugged with a cotton wool and sterilized at 121 °C for 15 minutes. After cooling, into the first tube labeled 10-1, 1 ml of the test extract was added and then it was serially diluted to 10-4. This process was repeated for the other extracts. 0.1 ml of a 24 hour old broth culture of the test organism was then introduced into each of the tubes having varying concentrations of the test extract, shaken thoroughly and incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours. Positive controls had 9ml of nutrient broth and the organism alone while negative control had 9 ml of nutrient broth and the test extract alone. The test tube showing no visible growth (growth is evidenced by turbidity) was taken as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
To determine the MBC, 0.1 ml from the different MIC tubes was inoculated on nutrient agar plates and spread evenly using a sterile glass rod. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours and the plates with no growth were taken as the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC).
Ethanol, distilled water and methylated spirit were used as solvents in obtaining the leaf, root and stembark extracts of Allanblackia floribunda. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was thereafter tested against four pathogenic isolates. Table 1 shows the activity of the various extracts on the test isolates. From the table, all three parts of the ethanol extract showed activity against S. aureus and Bacillus sp. while none of the distilled water extracts showed activity against the isolates. Ethanol extract of the bark showed no activity against Pseudomonas sp. and Escherichia coli but the other parts showed activity against them. (Figure 1) Methylated spirit extracts however showed varied activity against the isolates. Table 2 shows that at a concentration of 10-1, ethanol extract of the three parts inhibited the growth of the isolates while at a concentration of 10-3 none of the extracts were effective against the isolates. Table 3 shows that the methylated spirit extracts were only active at a concentration of 10-1 while lower concentrations were ineffective. Table 4 shows the minimum bactericidal concentration of the extracts.

The incidences of antimicrobial and especially antibacterial resistance outcome globally, have been on the increase even with the production of improved antimicrobial agents with broad spectrum insights and capacities. This has led to constant presence and high prevalence of infectious diseases, especially in the remote villages with visible lack of functional health care facilities, to manage the sick and possibly the increasing trends of epidemic outbreaks. Sequel to this, there is continuous search for novel drugs with better antimicrobial activities especially among plants that should be effective and at the same time environmental friendly. The potency of drugs from natural sources such as plants stems from the presence of bioactive substances in the plants. However, there is therefore a gradual shift from the use of synthetic drugs to formulated drugs from natural sources as therapeutic agents. This study thus tested the efficacy of parts of Allanblackia floribunda on four pathogenic bacteria.
The leaves of plants such as bitter leaf, scent leaf, Bryophyllumpinnatum and Aspiliaafricana have been studied and found to be active against microorganisms such as S. aureus, Pseudomonas aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus sp. 11, 16. Some strains of S. aureus have been exhibiting resistance to antibiotics such as methicillin which has been the drug of choice in the treatment of Staphylococcal infections. Although studies on the antimicrobial effect of Allanblackia floribunda on bacterial isolates are scarce, nonetheless, extracts of ginger, mushroom, garlic and other plants have been tested on some bacteria of medical importance 17.
However, in a study carried out by Udi-Ibiam, hot and cold water extracts of mushroom, ginger and garlic tested against S. pyogenes, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus and Salmonella typhi demonstrated antimicrobial activity against all the test isolates except E. coli. In this present study, the distilled water extract of all the three parts of the leaves were inactive against the test isolates. This is in consonance with a previous study 16 where hot water extracts of Bryophyllumpinnatumand Aspiliaafricanashowed no activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa from wound samples. Cold water extract of the fresh leaves of Moringa have however demonstrated activity against S. shinga, P. aeruginosa, S. sonnei, Pseudomonas spp. and S. aureus, B. cereus, Streptococcus hemolytica, B. subtilis, S. lutea and B. megaterium while the ethanol extract of its fresh leaves exhibited a high antibacterial activity compared with the former 18.
The ethanol extract from the leaves and roots demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity against all four test isolates. The ethanol extract of the plant bark showed zero activity against P. aeruginosa and E. coli. In a related study, the ethanol extracts of Bryophyllumpinnatumand Aspiliaafricana were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 16. Also, in a similar study by Azuonwu et al.19, methanolic extract of the bark of Moringaoleifera showed activity against Escherichia coli. However, in another study by Babota et al., both the methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Helichrysumarenarium and Antennariadioica demonstrated antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus 20.
Methylated spirit extracts of the plant root demonstrated activity against all isolates except E. coli; the methylated spirit extract of the bark also demonstrated activity against S. aureus and Bacillus sp. while the leaf extract from methylated spirit only demonstrated activity against Bacillus sp. These further prove the fact that for every sample to be extracted and tested for its antimicrobial activity, the solvent for extraction could probably play a huge roll towards determining the efficacy and overall potency of the extract.
More often, S. aureus isolated from hospitals are resistant to several antibiotics 11. The ability of S. aureus to cause septicemia, pneumonia and even bone and joint infections makes it a microorganism of clinical importance. Also, over time, P. aeruginosa has been known as an opportunistic pathogen as it has been seen as a major cause of pneumonia, nosocomial infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs) and subsequently drug resistance outcome 21. E. coli on the other hand has been largely implicated in UTIs as well as gastrointestinal infections. Bacillus sp. has been a major cause of bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia and further still one of its species has been implicated in food poisoning outbreaks in our communities. These infections caused by these microorganisms thus, make it necessary that alternative drugs that exhibit high therapeutic index activity against them be developed, even with much devoted interest focused towards the non-environmental distortive capabilities from the end products or residues of such drugs. The ability of these extracts to act against these microorganisms selectively is thus, very critical; this novel strategy and effective drug discovery outcome, should be sustained and encouraged globally as an alternative approach towards tackling the increasing trend of muti-drug resistance issues in our communities/health facilities across the globe.
The root, bark and leaves of Allanblackia floribunda demonstrated antibacterial activity against Staphylococcusaureus, Escherichiacoli, Bacillus sp and Pseudomonas sp. The results obtained from this study to a reasonable extent, supports claims that this plant parts can be used in the treatment of animal and human diseases. The effectiveness of the plant in vivo was not determined; therefore further studies on this can be carried out to determine its effectiveness in vivo as well as the safe dosage in practical terms. This will help determine the effective dosage with no side effects. The more efficient and robust extraction methods other than maceration are very expensive to acquire, hence this has enhanced their reduced use to improve health of the subjects through the production of these medicinal plants in large quantities. However, it will be plausible if this equipment will be made available for further research to determine the best method for the extraction of bioactive substances from natural sources without denaturing them and not polluting the ecosystem in the same vain.

Certain Songs #1309: New Order – "Dreams Never End"
August 31, 2018 by Jim Connelly
Album: Movement
It took a little over a year from when I purchased Joy Division's Still in late 1981 to get fully caught up on all the music that Joy Divsion / New Order had released.
And since I had started with Still, I didn't buy any of this music in any kind of order, meaning for awhile, it was all jumbled up in my head, especially since the last thing I bought in that period was the most radical — the singles that were collected as the 1981-1982 EP (more on that tomorrow) — it took me a while to process New Order as their own thing.
Right in the middle of all of that was Movement, New Order's debut album, recorded during the spring of 1981, but not released until November of that year. I got it in March of 1982, and whether or not that was before or after I bought the "Ceremony" twelve-inch, I simply don't know or remember.
I do remember this: I listened to Movement a lot, trying to suss it all out, especially because it was relatively short — though there weren't any song times or even song titles on the record label — and my favorite songs on the record were the opener, "Dreams Never End" and the closer "Denial."
Opening with another high-end Peter Hook bass riff that could easily be mistaken for a guitar, dueling with Stephen Morris' stellar hi-hat work, building into a full-blown guitar-driven rock and roll song featuring a rare Peter Hook vocal lead.
Normally, this is where I would quote you some lyrics, but honestly, I've never been able to understand a single word that Hooky has ever song on this tune — or actually a single word on the whole album. And I think the issue was Martin Hannett's obscurantist production. A singer as powerful and unique as Ian Curtis could cut through all of the gauze and FX Hannett specialized in, but not so much Hook or Sumner.
So while the steady beat and long loping guitar leads of "Dreams Never End" made it a great, attention-getting opener, especially for a transitional album, after that, it was mostly mush. And indeed, the band realized it to: when they next convened in a recording studio to recorded their true breakthrough (more on that tomorrow), Hannett was nowhere to be found.
So I kinda think of Movement as perhaps the only debut album that was also simultaneously a transitional album and a final album to boot. Because what was coming next was going to be revolutionary.

Certain Songs #1555: Pink Floyd – "Arnold Layne"


Early in the twentieth century, Leslie Spier and Erna Gunther, graduate students trained by anthropologist Franz Boas, hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to learn about Havasupai culture. In the process, they asked two Havasupai leaders and elders for every story they could remember. These were translated by native speakers and transcribed by Spier and, later, Gunther. Yet for unknown reasons Spier never published the whole collection of forty-eight stories, one of the earliest, most complete translations of an entire Native American oral tradition. Passed from Spier to anthropologist and Havasupai scholar Dr. Robert C. Euler, the stories, published here for the first time in book form with the permission of the Havasupai Tribal Council, are a cultural library and a cultural treasure that reflect an ancient Yuman-language mythological tradition. Publication restores them to the People (Pai/Pa/Pah) from whom they arose.
In addition to the forty-eight stories, the volume includes essays on the cultural prehistory of the Grand Canyon and the cultural life of the Havasupai, as well as an overview of Havasupai history, leadership, and language, and an introduction to scientific thought on sacred story and mythology.
Frank D. Tikalsky, Ed.D., is a clinical psychologist. He lives in Bayfield, Colorado.
Catherine A. Euler, Ph.D., is a historian currently teaching at the University of Arizona.
John Nagel, M.D., is a psychiatrist in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The more you focus on your customers' needs, the easier selling gets.
1. Forget what you sell. When you first meet a prospect, start thinking of questions that will uncover his hot buttons. What does that person do, and does he have goals for the next year or three years? What are his top three priorities or objectives? What challenges and changes does he face in his industry? How can you help him generate more business? Once you focus on the customer, it becomes easier to think of ways your product or service can fit into their overall goals. If you realize right away that it's not a good fit, you can walk away and work on other, more qualified prospects.
3. Maintain your passion for learning about the people you serve. How well do you know your prospects and customers? How much more business could you get if you spent more time uncovering their inner workings? When I take a tour of a customer's business, I interview people in various departments and research who their customers are; this always pays off. Your ability to serve is enhanced by knowledge. When you ask a customer for resources in their organisation that you can use to understand the bigger picture, your relationship and the trust with your customer improves, you're much more aware of their needs and how best to serve them, and the results you bring them will provide you with repeat business and referrals.
I often travel with some of my customers' top reps. On a recent trip with one, a manager we met with said he'd like to have weekly updates and inventory status on every order. The rep took copious notes and addressed the issue immediately. But that's not all – the rep also remembers clients' birthdays and their kids' birthdays. He's familiar with their personal lives. He has an amazing rapport with everyone because he knows how to serve. And he knows how to serve because he knows how to listen.
Hello, I found this information for you: "It's Not About You, Focus on Customer Needs". Here is the website link: https://www.entrepreneurmag.co.za/advice/sales/sales-confidence/its-not-about-you-focus-on-customer-needs/. Thank you.


WebM was launched in 2010 as an open source format, which is basically designed for the modern web instead of any other local use. So, it allows users to easily and smoothly access the web with any kind of device, including smart phone, tablet, PC and more. WebM video files are encoded via the VP8 video codec and the Vorbis audio codec. So, it is extremely easy to get video converters that converts various file formats into WebM. Here we collect 5 widely-used FLV to WebM converters for your information.
Since you are in need of converting FLV to WebM, let us see how it's done. Using video converters is perhaps the best way to achieve this. Basically, there are some simple steps to be followed for this. First of all, you will be required to download the video converter that you would like to use and install it. Then, you launch the converter, add or drag & drop the files you want converted to the video converter and press the Ok or Convert button. Another method is to do directly do the conversion on an online website. The second option is considerably slow and moreover, none of the online converters offer any additional features such as editing the file etc.
In the case of this Wondershare product, converting FLV to WebM is just one of the many things that this software can do. Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) has a lot more to offer. It is, no doubt, one of the best video converters I have come across in a long time. The good thing here is that unlike other video converters, this one takes utmost care of the quality of output video. In addition, there is next to no chance that the converted video will have any missing segments, crashes, or redraw issues.
Furthermore, users can also enjoy 4K UHD support and can stream it on big media screens like that of your smart TV. You can convert your video to virtually any format, get a flawless DVD experience, and you can do all of this with just the click of a button. Last but not the least, it is compatible with devices irrespective of the many popular brands in the market like Samsung, Apple, Windows, etc. along gaming consoles, common video media, etc. Now, let us see how to use Wondershare to convert FLV to WebM.
Firstly, download the UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) software and install it on your computer. Now, follow the below given steps to convert FLV to WebM with Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate). The procedure is same for both Windows as well as Mac users.
Step 1 Once launched, you'll see at the upper-left corner of UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate)'s interface. Click on it to add the FLV file that you want to convert to WebM. You can also simply drag and drop the file onto the software interface.
Step 2 Having done that, find the suitable output format. Just click the icon beside Convert all files to:, then you'd get a output format list as the screenshot shows. Choose WebM under Video tab and select your desired video resolution in the right.
Step 3 Now, just click on Convert and the process of converting FLV to WebM will start immediately. Wait for a few seconds and you'll get the converted .WebM file from the Output folder.
So, we saw that although many FLV to WebM converters are available, most of them lack features and are incomplete. Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) on the other hand is a complete tool kit offering you much more than just the benefit of conversion.
Free WebM Video Convertor is also one of the popular video converters of today. So, if you are looking to convert FLV to WebM, then this one is certainly a suitable option for you to consider. However, it is more compatible for converting to video formats, such as, 3GP, MP4 and AVI.
Another one in this list is Miro Video Converter. Users confirm that it can convert various types of video file formats. So, you could easily use it for converting FLV to WebM. There is one advantage here and that is you can carry out bulk video conversion with Miro Video Converter. However, it needs a good amount of time to complete the conversions, even if it is just a single conversion. Selecting low-quality output doesn't seem to make much of a difference in the time taken. So, you may want to consider that.
The next video converter that you can use for converting FLV to WebM is Hewbo Video Converter. The good thing with Hewbo is that it converts one format to the other quite easily and works with multiple file formats during video conversion. It is one of the better video converters as compared to the rest of the list, except for the one that we'll be looking at next now.
While many use this software for converting FLV to WebM, this program is better known for editing subtitles. Although, it is a very convenient video converter to use and supports conversion of many video formats, it lacks extra tools and features. The only extra feature you would get is the option for additional text conversion.

Early July Roundup.
Justin Levinson-Yes Man. 10 years. That's how long Absolute Powerpop has been around, and that's also how long it's been since Justin Levinson debuted on the power pop scene with 1175 Boylston. The debut was Ben Folds-styled piano pop and since then he's veered into alt-country and most recently a bit of light soul-inflected singer-songwriter pop with 2012's This Side of Me, This Side of You. Now with Yes Man, Levinson has come full circle with his most straight-up pop album since his debut. Opener "Together Forever" is a bouncy confection that's well-timed for summer; the title track is a Beatlesque romp, and the waltz-time baroque pop of "Safety in the Rain" recalls Jellyfish. Elsewhere, "Broken Heart Running" is the type of piano-based pop found on the debut, and closer "Colleen Compassion" evokes a lost Ben Folds track in both sound and title. In all this is one of 2016's best so far as even the tracks not noted here are worthy of note. The tenth anniversary truly can be the sweetest.
Sample and buy at Amazon
Ken Sharp-New Mourning. Speaking of 10-year anniversaries, it's almost been that long since Ken Sharp's last album, 2007's Sonic Crayons, which at that time was his first album in seven years and which came in at #13 on my best-of-2007 list. So it's a bit of an understatement to say this album was long-awaited, and it doesn't disappoint. Of course Sharp has an excuse for the delays between albums - when he's not recording, he's writing and writing prolifically about music with 18 published books to his credit including a series titled "Play On! Power Pop Heroes" which chronicles the leading lights and forerunners of the genre. And if Sharp's going to keep putting out albums (however infrequently) like New Mourning, he's going to be worthy of a chapter of his own as his latest is his best and most consistent. From the classic power pop of "Dynamite & Kerosene" and "Let's Be Friends" to the Motown-influenced "Solid Ground" through the 70s MOR balladry of "L.A. Can Be Such a Lonely Town" and the string-laden closing power ballad "Loser", New Mourning is 14 tracks of solid gold and also a clear contender for Best of 2016.
New Mourning by Ken Sharp
The Loved-The Loved EP. The Loved are a three-piece band from Portland, Oregon who push all the right retro buttons on their debut EP, right up to the album artwork. Dense guitars and a languid melody make for a great combination on the first single "How Do You Fall in Love", while the midtempo "Sun Moon Stars" features a hypnotic vibe and "Lost at Sea" rocks with "three chords and the truth", as the band described itself in their Facebook bio. Give it a listen below, and it'll be Loved by you as well.

Главная » Signs » Sign: to bring down a cat by car
Sign: to bring down a cat by car
Sign: knocked the cat on the car
Since the time of the ancient Egyptians, the cat tribe was perceived by man, almost as a representative of otherworldly forces. Mysticism and all sorts of omens surrounded these graceful animals, it was believed that the human body and soul can be properly healed only with the help of feline «therapy.»
There were ancient texts that claimed that these mammals can move in both worlds, living in parallel.
Even in Russian folk tales, the legendary Baba Yaga always had a black cat in her hut on chicken legs. Based on such serious beliefs, it is clear that the omen to knock down a cat in a car does not promise the unlucky driver anything good, even if he has no doubt that everything happened by chance.
Do not harm the sacred animal
If a cat was credited with tremendous power in suppressing the negative energy of any home, what to speak of the heavenly punishment for someone who directly or indirectly wanted to take away her life:
there is a sign that a dying cat needs a few moments before dying, to send evil forces on the driver, who himself or by chance took her life;
according to various documents that have come down to us such a punishment was valid for a period of 3 to 7 years, during this time, the driver had serious problems, a black line was advancing in his life;
among drivers there is a very persistent sign, everyone knows her who at least once sat behind the wheel of a car — if you knock down a cat, then the dog will be knocked down by you, and then the person will turn;
it is clear that such terrible consequences will not be in vain for the culprit of an accident with an animal, so motorists are always closely watching the road, trying to skip ahead not only cats, but also dogs.
Such a sign has its justification, mobilizes the driver, who may not be attentive at the wheel, chat on the phone, look at billboards with advertising at the curb or be not particularly mobilized before the «zebra».
From the sex of the animal depends — from which side to wait for the misfortune
There is a great variety of signs that strictly share the consequences of the most different nuances in the process of knocking down an unfortunate animal with a driver who is being harassed:
if crushed cat — it means that the motorist is waiting for serious disappointments from his beloved woman or simply from the fair sex;
in the case when the asphalt is cat — Disorders, with all the ensuing consequences, should be expected from a man from your inner circle.
In general, knocking down a mammal on the road should, at a minimum, alert the driver because now it is necessary to closely monitor the phenomena occurring around you.
Other signs refer us to cases where a woman or a wedding procession turns out to be the cause of the accident:
beautiful avtoledi at the wheel, but here's the annoyance, an innocent animal dies under the wheels — it means that a motorist is on the way an insidious and malicious rival, and even a candidate for the position she occupies if she is a successful business woman. After such a characteristic accident, it is necessary to pay more attention to the beloved man — what the hell is not joking;
in the accident is the car where the bride and groom — The sign is even worse, because in this case the young family has only a few days left to be.
Of course, the interpreters do not get tired of reminding about this, a sign is like a weather forecast: it may or may not come true. And if a young family will be careful and attentive to each other, live in peace and understanding, then they will not be afraid of any black sign!
What color is the color of the cat — such is the sign waiting
As a rule, interpreters and the majority will accept not particularly picky in numerous colors of the animal, only white or black prevail — with all the predictions that follow:
black knocked down a cat on the road, there are no more spots and "tan" on the animal's body — someone from your closest circle has attracted a woman, and tries, thus, to manipulate you;
white the animal is not so dangerous, some special signs are not foreseen here, however, no matter how insignificant the accident may seem, it is necessary to go to church and put a candle to the keeper, after that you can be calm;
Another sign associated with the cat "advises" the motorist if he does not feel guilty, just stop and think about your life;
spread animal on asphalt — Sign of Destiny that something is not quite right in your life, as the Almighty wants, so he sends a sign, and if you are going to meet with a friend — cancel the meeting, if you are going to make a purchase — wait, or even leave this venture;
Many interpreters agree that the sign of fate is not an accident, it is always a reason review their views on life, their plans for the near future;
One of the most radical ways offered by all sorts of magic books is to early sale of a car, burning a driver's license and spending the remaining days in prayer, it is clear that an adequate person would hardly like such a scenario.
The most interesting way of "atonement for sins" in front of an undeservedly beaten animal was thought up by motorists themselves. After all, they, especially such professionals as taxi drivers or truckers, have in their sad experience not one or two ruined souls of animals.
Their advice is to buy a big stick of good sausage from time to time (favorite cat treat) and feed it to homeless four-legged people wandering around.
Judging by the allegations of quite serious «sources», this method works flawlessly.
There are also some more practical advice. Christians offer, without further ado, to carry out the rite of consecration of the car, which is important in connection with the abundance in the cabin of almost every car of all kinds of icons and amulets-amulets.
Motorists advise after an accident to stop immediately, go to the unfortunate cat and listen — maybe the luckless animal breathes.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Marti and Gabor. they gave us a good tour of the grand market, bought all the ingredients for our cooking class and then drove us to their place of business In a private apartment. We were welcomed as promised with the Hungarian specialty, fruit brandy, Palinka. We learned quite a bit in prepping and preparing soup, stuffed peppers, and two strudels for dessert. It's a hands on experience in a relaxed kitchen. We learned lots about Budapest and Hungary we would not have learned any other way. They speak great English. They are very charming, sophisticated people.We had a lot of laughs. This experience adds a unique and memorable day to our vacation.
Thank you so much to Marti and Gabor for this amazing experience. We were picked up from our apartment by Gabor and taken to the apartment where the cooking class was taking place. It was a private class for myself and my friend and the menu was had been accommodated so well for our dietary requirements. The whole cooking experience was so much fun and Marti was an excellent teacher and both Marti and Gabor had a very friendly and fun personalities making the whole experience so much better. The food we made was delicious - I cant wait to throw my own Hungarian dinner party! Thank you co much once more to Mart iand Gabor for this amazing experince during our visit to Budapest.
Wonderful Introduction to Hungarian Cuisine and Hospitality!
This was an amazing experience. I scheduled it for the day I arrived in Budapest, and I am so glad I did! Not only was the food fantastic and the company friendly, I was able to talk about my plans during my Budapest visit and get some great ideas and recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do. I will definitely take this class again on my next trip and learn to cook more delicious Hungarian food.
It was the evening we will never forget!
We visited this great place on the 16th of November. And since the first seconds we were enveloped in the atmosphere of home, sweet home. The hosts became our friends. They are so great - Marti, Peter and Gabor. These are the people who really love what they do. The cooking class was excellent. We were the group of English learning students from Russia and the fact is that we got everything from the meeting - English practice, because the hosts have perfect English skills, wonderful cooking practice (we cooked real national Hungarian dishes) and also eating practice, because at the end of the evening we had to eat everything we had cooked)))Moreover we got to know a lot about Hungarian culture, people, history and modern affairs. It was more than perfect, we have now only sweet and warm memories about that evening and we are sure to visit these great people one more time when we come back to Budapest.
This was one of our best experiences in Budapest! There are several menus to choose from. We chose option "C" which included Goulash soup, Savoury pancake Hortobágy, Gerbeaud layer cake. During the class I mentioned that I would have liked to try the cold fruit soup and found we could have "mixed and matched". Everything was delicious and seemed so easy to make as Marta guided us step by step through the recipes.
The fee includes not only the class itself, but pick up and drop off from your hotel, a welcome drink of homemade palinka (much better than the commercial ones we tried), appetizers and homemade sodas during the cooking, as well as wine to accompany lunch at the end.
What made this class special over what you would get in a commercial cooking class was the discussions we had with our hosts regarding life in Hungary and tips on Budapest while we cooking and during lunch. Something you would never experience is a large group setting. My only regret was not having done this class at the beginning of our trip vs. our last day as we could not take advantage of their sightseeing suggestions.

Last night the stars of the film, which included Potter star Rupert Grint alongside Shia LaBeouf and Evan Rachel Wood, were out in force to support and promote the movie.
Rupert was also present at the press conference held earlier in the day and streamed live for fans worldwide. When asked about Potter, Grint commented that it was 'refreshing to be on a new set' and that 'the film and role ticked every box for [him]. It [was] completely the opposite of Ron.' He also talked of his time spent filming in Romania.
"I loved Romania, though I didn't know what to expect at first. It didn't take me long to fall in love with the country but it did take a while to settle in. Shortly after I got there I was chased by wild dogs!"
The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman previously premiered at the Sundance Festival in January and is now currently being offered to buyers.
What do you think of Rupert's post-Potter film choices? What would you like to see him do next?
Thanks to RupertGrint.net for the tip.
