1st European boat show on the water
A star attraction for boat fans!
With 100,000 visitors expected over 6 days, 800 international brands and 750 boats on display (300 of which are on the water), Grand Pavois La Rochelle is in the top 5 international boat shows on the water. With sea trials, world premières, and meet and greets with the professionals, the show created in 1973 by the Grand Pavois Organisation is a main event in the yachting calender and a must-see for all boat fans and professionals working in the field.
In the Minimes district, in La Rochelle's Port de Plaisance and along its pontoons, boat lovers can be found looking for new developments and exclusive insights, as they are always on the lookout for the latest technology and progress in boating.
But it's also the ideal place for anyone who dreams of travelling across the sea. If you take a walk along La Rochelle's Grand Pavois it's like you have already set sail because you discover the most incredible boats that rock to the lullaby of the halyards and the flapping of the coloured flags in the wind.
Every year the show offers several thematic areas with the exhibition covering more than 100,000 square metres. Among them, are three areas to expand your nautical knowledge.
The "Heritage and tradition" area is the chance to showcase local boats from Nouvelle-Aquitaine where some of them are classified as historical monuments. They are owned privately, by the community or are exhibited by museums. Every boat is presented alongside an explanatory fact sheet so you can better understand the naval heritage and why we have to protect it.
Since the 2000s, La Rochelle's Grand Pavois presents all kinds of water sports: dinghy sailing, kayaks, sliding sports, windsurfing, kite-surfing, wake-boarding, paddle-boarding... at the heart of its "Beach" area. Split between the showroom and Plage des Minimes, it offers one or several docks with more than 1500 trials, christenings and demonstrations carried out in a sporting and festive atmosphere.
The "Fishing and Grand Pavois" area is a unique concept in the boat show world. Today it has become a real open forum for discussion between fans, visitors and brands along with their competitors. In this area there is a stage with lots of different things happening, a demonstration pool, a selling area, a gallery of fishing boats and the marina, not to mention one of the main highlights: a fishing tournament!
Head back to the exhibition room by boat!
The sea bus
Leaving from Cours des Dames, the sea bus takes you directly to Port de Plaisance des Minimes. It's really practical and the sea bus will drop off you at the door of the boat show in 15 minutes!
A country to (re)discover
The guest of honour
Every year in a 750m² hall, Grand Pavois Organisation honours a country with a big exhibition carried out in partnership with the local tourist institutions. A real journey through the tourist, cultural, nautical and gastronomical assets of the country, the show piques your curiosity and transports you to a far away place.
The edition 2019 of Grand Pavois of La Rochellewill be in the 18 of 23 september 2019 !

Ikea promises to dispose of single-use plastic products by 2020
Category: #world By Pankaj Singh Date: 2018-06-09
Amid growing concerns of the impact that plastic has on the environment, Swedish furniture company Ikea announced the decision to phase out all single-use plastic products from outlets and restaurants by the year 2020. The move emphasizes the awareness of plastic pollution in the world's oceans where aquatic life is being fatally affected, claim reports.
A source at Ikea said that the company is working with its suppliers to find more eco-friendly solutions that will benefit the customer and the planet overall. It will replace items like plastic straws, cups, plates, freezer bags, bin bags with suitable alternatives. The company is aiming to warrant that all plastic products be made up of recycled materials by August 2020.
Ikea has more than 363 stores globally and through them wants to help consumers live a more sustainable life, by offering products such as tap nozzles which help to reduce water wastage. It also offers solar panels in 5 markets at present with plans to reach 29 markets by 2025. It will even introduce more vegetarian food into its cafes. As per records, the company has in recent times invested in windfarms and installed solar panels on its stores intending to rely on renewable energy and heat for its stores by 2020.
Commenting on the company's strategy, the CEO of the Inter Ikea group, Torbjörn Lööf stated that a change will be possible only if they can collaborate with others and promote entrepreneurship. They want to take the lead in working together with raw material suppliers, customers and partners.
Ikea's commitment on the plastic issue comes after the grocery chain Iceland said it will stop using plastic packaging on its brands by 2023, according to reports. Supermarkets in UK such as Tesco and Waitrose have also declared their intentions to stop using non-recyclable plastic packaging and products. A report by the U.N. indicated dozens of countries taking actions to eliminate plastic use, for instance plastic ban in Kenya, ban on styrofoam use in Sri Lanka and propagation of biodegradable bags in China.

Edward Hopper's New York
1 month ago Leave a Comment by Mary Manfredi Uncategorized
Merry Christmas museum lovers! Looking for something to do over the holiday break in New York? Locals and art enthusiasts should head to the Whitney Museum of American Art to view the temporary exhibition "Edward Hopper's New York" which will remain open until March 5, 2023.
The Whitney is the ideal setting to be introduced to Edward Hopper as they have over 3,100 pieces by the artist in their collection. This exhibition boasts hallmark works on loan from the artist's oeuvre and others are on display in the museum's permanent collection.
A stroll through the Edward Hopper exhibit at the Whitney enables viewers to see the urban landscape of New York City morph and evolve throughout the twentieth century. Hopper (1882-1967), an American artist, called the city home and painted storefronts, city dwellers, and documented his lived experience in a multitude of sketches, watercolors, and paintings. His mesmerizing scenes embody an indistinguishable New York charm, so that a nameless storefront window or an undisclosed rooftop find themselves in harmony with the 200 objects on display.
Whether you have called New York home for decades or just moved to the big apple, everyone can find something to ponder throughout this exhibition. For me, I enjoyed the gallery that explored the artist's relationship with his wife, Josephine Hopper. Archival documents, sketches, paintings, and some exhibit labels tell the story of the pair and their apartment in Washington Square that they called home for over four decades. Jo's vital role in her husband's career ranged from serving as a model for her husband and maintaining the meticulous ledgers that documented the sale of his art. The ledgers contain a distilled sketch of a sold work, the buyer, and a brief description penned by Jo. The propped open ledger page I viewed recorded that Hopper sold an oil on canvas, Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth to the Montclair Art Museum. Through my research, I discovered that the painting is still in the museum's collection and is entitled, Coast Guard Station (1927), executed during the Hopper's summer vacations in Maine.
Before my visit, I only knew Hopper as the hand behind the Art Institute of Chicago's Nighthawks (1942). After strolling through the Whitney, I gained a newfound appreciation for his film noir works. Their deep shadows, ambiguity, and radiating warmth draw in the viewer. I spent a great deal of time with Automat (1927), on loan from the Des Moines Art Center in Iowa. It made its public debut at one of Hopper's solo New York City shows on Valentine's Day that year. Jo posed for this scene, but her husband ultimately altered the composition to make the subject appear more youthful. It depicts a young, well dressed customer at an automat in the dead of night. She stares blankly into her coffee, wearing one glove and exposing her hand to the handle of the cup. Perhaps she has just sat down in an attempt to warm up from the cold outside world that her coat suggests. Dark hues consume the painting, making the window to her back a deep void only broken up by the glowing reflection of the ceiling lights. Splashes of warm umbers break up the composition through the bright yellow hat, the delicately posed display of fruit, and the swatch of lipstick on the sitter. In this scene, much like other Hopper noir paintings, time is frozen and beckons the museum goer to stop and spend some a moment with the wok.
I couldn't help but think of some lyrics by one of my favorite bands, the Gaslight Anthem, as I gazed at this piece.
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
Goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
Praying she won't cancel again tonight.
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
You remind Anna, if she asks why.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to "hop" over to the Whitney, and I would encourage you to do the same.

New Students Phorm Phresh Band
Jack Lane
Over its years of corporate dominance, DEFeatures has seen a lot of bands, groups, DJ's, hipsters, mobsters and singers rise from the proletariat to take to the studio and bang out some tunes. Well, Music Lovers, we're here to tell you that the hip new band, The Phreshmen, is really something for the History-100 books. This freshmen-exclusive sensation started back in the fall of '12 as just a couple of rebellious kids trying to make it in a big academy. They met in the little known Music-215, a class made for people who attempted the placement test but dropped it like a beat, and so they instantly bonded. When the lead singer Shnam-Zizzle (Howard Jacobs '16) suggested that they meet during Conference period to work on a group composition, the other members, Supah-Crispy (Matt Phillips '16), Mega-Powah (James Wallace '16), and Bob (Bob '16) leapt forth like a group of monkeys who had listened to too much K-pop. And so, the stage was set. The only thing the band needed was a hit single to launch them into stardom. Supah described the moment of conception of their first song in a recent interview: "It was crazy. I was attempting to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the sitar, Shnam was reciting a Shakespeare poem to the tune of some dubstep, and Mega was to trying sound out the national anthem on a recorder. I honestly don't know what Bob was doing; he normally just sits there and moves his head back and forth. Anyways, when we heard those three music forms clash together, coupled with some others students plugging their ears and screaming as they ran from us, we realized that a song was there." The band's definition of "song" has not yet been confirmed to be correct. The band claims to not have had an easy ride, though every single upperclassman has told them to stop complaining because they are freshmen and have no work. According to Mega, "I think the upperclassmen are jealous of our success or something. They seem to mind it when we set up in Lower Right and gave them a free sample of our jingles during every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Who doesn't like a taste of "the Phresh?" Clearly, the sky is the limit for these young rockers.


DNA test kits have exploded in popularity over the course of the past few years. In fact, a discounted DNA test was one of Amazon's five best-selling products during last year's Black Friday shopping event. Everyone wants to know about their ancestry and about what their DNA says about their health, and at-home DNA test kits make it so easy. Of course, good kits can be a bit pricey, so some people like to wait for a good sale. Well, bargain hunters, today is the day to pull trigger. Amazon is offering the popular $150 Vitagene DNA Test Kit: Ancestry + Health Personal Genetic Reports for just $79, today only. That's the same price as the killer Black Friday DNA test deal that everyone went crazy over!

Relationship of mammographic densities to breast cancer risk
Engy A. Ali ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0003-3120-01201 &
Mariam Raafat1
Our goal was to find out the relation between mammographic densities and cancer of the breast according to the recent ACR classification. From the medical records of Kasereliny Hospital, 49,409 women were subjected to digital mammography for screening, of which 1500 breast cancer cases were collected. The mammographic categories of breast density were ACR-A, B, C, and D, which were detected by two senior radiologists. All radiological classifications were made using both standard mammographic views bilaterally. Two-sided tests of statistical significance were represented by all the P values.
From 2014 to 2019, 49,409 women came for digital mammographic screening, their age ranges between 40 and 65, and all of them are included in the study. One thousand cases of breast cancer cases were radiologically and pathologically diagnosed. Different densities were arranged in descending pattern depending on the frequency of positive cases: D (13.7%), C (3.3%), B (2.7%), A (2.2%). There is positive significant risk ratio among every higher mammographic density in comparison to the lower density.
Our study results show that the risk of breast cancer is in close relation to the mammographic breast density.
Screening in breast cancer is of great value in detecting asymptomatic cancer resulting in less invasive treatments and better outcome too as it will be discovered in its early stage before tumor progresses. Rules for the category of women which should be screened, how often, and by which imaging modality should be well-known [1].
Mammography is still the best recommended imaging tool for screening of breast cancer in all women which in turn depends on a common decision between the female and her clinician depending on the risk factors and competing co-morbidities [1].
Breast cancer risk is in close relation with increasing mammographic breast density. Breast in the mammogram appears as a reflection of both the amount of fat and epithelial and connective tissues together. On mammogram, fat is represented by radiolucent areas, and the non-radiolucent areas related to the glandular and fibrous tissues. Women who have increased breast cancer risk by 4–6-fold with breast density are of 75% breast density [1].
Annual mammography as well as dynamic MRI is recommended in screening high-risk breast cancer women; ultrasound is recommended only when there are contraindications to MRI. Those with intermediate risk should do annual screening mammography while dynamic MRI is recommended in some cases only. For those with average risk, annual mammography is enough [2].
The current work had presented an update analysis of the frequency of breast cancer in correlation to the type of breast density in the Egyptian female population. The study involved a large proportion of women (n=49,409) whether subjected to screening or diagnostic mammograms. To our knowledge, there was no comparable study with the inclusion of such large sample size and discussed the risk of breast cancer in Egypt.
Our study included 49,409 women outreached for screening by digital mammography. Their data were collected from the medical records of Kasereliny Hospital radiology department in the period from January 2014 to December 2019.
Asymptomatic females above the age of 40 years who are eligible for screening mammography
Mammographic contradiction, e.g., pregnant women
Women under 40 years, where US is the modality of choice
All patients were submitted to the following:
Demographic and clinical data collection
Including patient's age, name, phone number, marital status, number of offsprings, residence, diagnosis, duration of illness, family history, and past history
Imaging procedure
All cases did digital mammography.
Mammographic examination was performed using the digital mammography system (Senographe 2000 D, GE, USA).
Technique of full-field digital mammography
Standard views of craniocaudal and mediolateral-oblique and craniocaudal were taken for all patients.
Image analysis and interpretation of mammography
Mammograms were classified into four categories of density (MD), ACR-A, ACR-B, ACR-C, and ACR-D according to ACR BI-RADS atlas fifth edition 2013.
The breast are almost entirely fatty.
There are scattered areas of fibroglandular density.
The breasts are heterogeneously dense.
The breasts are extremely dense.
All radiological classifications were made using both standard CC and MLO views of both breasts.
This study included 49,409 women outreached for screening by digital mammography from 2014 to 2019. Their data were collected from the medical records of Kasereliny Hospital Radiology department.
The age in our study ranged between 40 and 65 years.
Among the collected cases, 11,569 were ACR-A (23%), 24,135 were ACR-B (49%), 12,250 were ACR-C (25%), and 1455 were ACR-D (3%) (Fig. 1).
Percentage distribution of ACR density among all studied cases
One thousand five hundred cases of breast cancer were depicted radiologically and confirmed by histopathology.
Two hundred fifty breast cancer cases were detected in ACR-A class, 650 cases in ACR-B class, 400 cases in the ACR-C class, and 200 in the ACR-D class (Table 1).
Table 1 Breast density and increased breast cancer risk
The frequency of all the positive breast cancer cases in ACR-A density group was 2.2, ACR-B group was 2.7, 3.3 in ACR-C group, and 13.7 in ACR-D group (Fig. 2).
Frequency of breast cancer as regards different mammographic densities
Densities were arranged in a descending order according to the frequency of positive cases:
D (13.7%), C (3.3%), B (2.7%), A (2.2%)
There was a significant increased risk of breast cancer with high breast densities collectively: ACR-C and ACR-D (Fig. 3).
Sixty-year-old female for screening ACR C. Right UOQ irregular shape speculated outline dense lesion
There are many reasons behind the increasing rates of breast cancer in developing countries including Egypt; among these reasons is increasing breast density in women above age of 40 years [3]. So, in women over 40 years of age, breast cancer remains one of the main reasons of death [4].
Increasing breast cancer survival rate with a possibility of complete cure is mostly the result of early detection that is why annual screening mammography is a must [5].
Annual screening for breast cancer is important in detecting women with asymptomatic breast cancer and as result better outcomes [1].
Mammogram films are usually a combination of both non-radiolucent areas and radiolucent areas representing a mixture of both fibroglandular tissue and fat, so ladies with increasing percent of fibroglandular tissue of 75% or more usually show more risk of developing breast cancer by 4 to 6 folds in comparison to those with increasing fatty component in mammogram [6].
Some of the studies used Wolfe classification instead of BI-RADS density classification in explaining the relation between the risk for breast density and breast cancer risk. Use of the BI-RADS classification has resulted in a similar but milder relation of risk with respect to breast density [7]. One study of the Vermont population from the BCSC registry that implied the BI-RADS density classifications stated that extremely dense breasts in women have increased breast cancer relative risk ratio in premenopausal than in post-menopausal females [8].
Ahmadinjad et al. showed that the occurrence of malignancy in dense breast patients (61.2%) is more than in those with low breast densities (37.3%) (P= 0.007) as stated in our study that the frequency of breast cancer in groups ACR C and ACR D is more than the frequency rate in groups ACR A and ACR B [9].
According to the BI-RADS edition 2013, cases were classified into the following: 11,569 were ACR-A (23%), 24,135 were ACR-B (49%), 12,250 were ACR-C (25%), and 1455 were ACR-D (3%).
Our study included 49,409 women, 1500 cases were pathologically proven with breast cancer out of the total. Out of the 1500 breast cancer cases, 250 were depicted in ACR-A class and 650 in ACR-B class, 400 cases in the ACR-C class, and 200 in the ACR-D class.
Cases were ordered in a descending pattern depending on the frequency of carcinoma positive cases:
The positive relationship between increasing the risk of breast cancer in women with increasing breast mammographic density has been reported in many cohort studies [10]. Byrne et al. stated that women with breast density of 75% or more showed four-fold increase in the risk affection with breast cancer than those with mammographic density of 0% [11].
As stated in our study, Maskarinec et al. also discovered that the risk for breast cancer affection increases by 3.6 times in women with breast density more than 50% than women with density less than 10% [12].
Some studies reported that the relative cancer risk for breasts that were 50–74% dense was 2.92 and 4.64 for breasts that were 75% or more dense; as a result, there is a linear increasing trend between the relation of the breast cancer relative risk and increasing tissue breast density which was also reported in our study [7].
In our study, we found that women with ACR mammographic density class D and C have statistically increase frequency of positive carcinoma patients than class A and B.
We finally concluded that there is a significant positive relation between increase in the risk of breast cancer in our population with increasing mammographic breast tissue density.

Exhibition to celebrate history and culture of Indian block printing
The contemporary use of one of India's most historic crafts will form the basis of an art exhibition at the Bonington Gallery.
Imprints of Culture, from 26 February to 24 March, will explore how block printed textiles became part of the very fabric of India's history, culture and visual identity.
Exhibits from three regions – western India (Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh), northern Indian (Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh) and south-east India (Andhra Pradesh) – will go on show and include traditional designs and innovations.
The exhibition has been curated by Dr Eiluned Edwards, of the University's School of Art & Design, in collaboration with block printers and block makers in India, and Delhi-based fashion designer Aneeth Arora of Péro.
It is supported by the British Academy (International Partnership and Mobility Scheme, 2014-17) while the research underpinning it was funded by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2012-14).
Dr Edwards, who has been researching the material culture of India for 25 years, said: "This exhibition will not only be a display of incredible craftsmanship and skill, but it will allow people to experience a significant aspect of India's cultural heritage.
"Until recently, block prints were key components of caste dress, reflecting regional affiliation, occupational and religious identity, social and even economic status. They embody centuries of trade, conquest and colonisation, technological innovation and entrepreneurship.
"Eco-friendly block prints dyed with natural colours have found a niche in the global fashion industry. Designers in India and other countries are using them for garments and accessories on the catwalk, as well as on the high street. They have become part of the 'slow clothes' movement which values sustainable production and holds craftsmanship in high esteem."
The exhibition is free and open to members of the public between 10am and 5pm Monday to Friday. It will also be open on Saturday 19 March from 10am to 4pm.

Leah Shaw vs Astolfo Cambarga - Standard Hentai Match
Anime Female Wrestling :: Tension :: The Ring
by Yori on Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:43 am
Leah Shaw VS Astolfo Cambarga
Match Type: Standard Hentai
Victory Conditions: Pinfall can only be obtained after a forced orgasm.
Leah's Theme:
Leah Shaw:
A newer face brushed past the curtains onto the stage, she was smiling just to be here as she looked out over the crowd. She threw her arms wide, striking a pose for the audience, twirling on the ball of her bare feel on the ramp. her small skirt fluttered around her waist. She didn't have any fancy entrance yet, just her music and her body. The crowd didn't even know her past the fact she was another pretty face... which got plenty of cheers on that merit alone.
She took her time heading down the ramp, throwing up the V sign or blowing kisses to newly minted fans who didn't even know her name. Edgar had tried to talk her out of doing a Hentai match, but she had heard from plenty of the other girls it was one of the best ways to get yourself known. Besides, if what she heard was true, they tended to be pretty fun! She didn't know who her opponent was. They had only just confirmed that tonight, to her at least. She was excited though, to face anyone from the Tension locker room really. She needed to rub elbows with more people... granted she would be rubbing more than elbows here tonight.
She rolled herself into the ring, skipping her way to the turnbuckle. She climbed to the middle ropes, throwing her arms up in a cheer. She did the same in each corner before settling back into the middle of the ring. She adjusted her top, bouncing in place as she looked to the ramp to see who she was up against. "Alright Leah, time to show Tension what you can do."
Feel free to toss me a PM or IM on Trillian to chat.
Back after some irl stuff as of 10/14 will be working on catching up again.

Astolfo Theme:
Astolfo Cambarga:
It had been a while since Astolfo had stepped in the ring. He had encountered some problems with his agent and his wrestling career had to be placed on hold but now he had managed to get it all cleared up and was ready to get back into the ring. Though he was a bit nervous, for two different reasons. The first reason is it had been a while since he was in the ring, he had kept up with his training but training only took you so far, you needed to do real matches. The second issue is that he would be taking part in a hentai match, this was a first for him. Usually, he did not want to take part in such matches in order to keep his secret hidden. But the amount of money his new manager had offered him was something he could not pass up and it was only a matter of time before people found out, so in the end, it could not be helped. Though if he won, it was possible he could still keep his secret hidden from everyone.
Once his opponent music stop playing, Astolfo theme would soon start to play. The pink hair wrestler would then come down, nothing wearing too much. He wanted to tease his opponent and confuse them and wearing this kind of clothing was the best way to do so. Astolfo would skip his way towards the ring, giving a few high fives to nearby fans. As Astolfo got close to the ring, he would climb up the stairs before grabbing onto the ropes. He would then stretch one leg and sent it between the middle and top rope before having the rest of his body follow and enter.
Once he was inside the ring, he would take a second to look at his opponent. She was cute and was wearing a really nice outfit, it was a shame he was going to have to tear it off due to the conditions of the match. He would then make his way towards the center of the ring. "Greetings, I am Astolfo, a pleasure to meet you. Let us have a good match." he stated with a bright smile on his face as he then offered his hand to be shaken.

Leah's eyes lit up a bit as she laid eyes on Astolfo. She couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of the other girl's hair. The pink shade, the long braid. It was gorgeous. The girl wearing it was pretty cute as well, but slender and small. She almost worried she was going to hurt the poor thing if she went too rough. Though, she didn't really need to play too rough in this sort of match, which was a mixed blessing. She smiled and waved to Astolfo as they entered the ring.
She jogged up to the girl who she had no idea was a boy, and took hold of their hand to give a firm and friendly handshake. "I'm Leah! This is my first time doing one of these, so don't go too hard on me." She poked her tongue out as if to point out it was a joke and not an actual request. "Lets have fun though. That's what wrestling is all about!" Assuming there was no funny business, she'd pull her hand back, taking a second away from her opponent as she waited for the bell.
She wasn't too worried about being prepared and waiting in a grappling stance. Astolfo was smaller than her, in height at least. Slender and cute. She didn't expect too much of a fight out of her. It would be fine though. They could do a bit of grappling before exploring the real meat of the match. She wanted to get a feel for their style.

It seemed that Astolfo had a nice opponent, as she even smiled and waved towards him as he entered the ring. Once he got to the center and offered his hand to be shaken after introducing himself, his opponent would jog towards him and shake his hand and introduce herself as well. Astolfo would give a bit of a laugh when he heard that this was his opponent first time in the ring. "Don't worry about it Leah, I haven't stepped in the ring for a long time, so I am pretty rusty." stated Astolfo in his usual cheerful tone. "Yes, that is what wrestling is all about, having fun and cosplaying!" stated the pink hair wrestler as he would then step back.
Like his opponent, the pink hair wrestler would also enter into a grappling stance as the bell rang. He would start to inch closer to her, both arms extended before then suddenly charging forward and attempting to enter a collar and elbow tie up. He wanted to get a good feel for his opponent overpower if he could over power her and send her towards the turnbuckle.

"I meant one of these types of matches! I have been in the ring, just not here, a few times... So don't you think about going easy on me, alright?" She gave Astolfo a first nod as she backed away from their handshake. She looked serious, determine. She wanted to make sure if she managed to win it was because she earned it. She was a bundle of nerves and energy being in front of a crowd this large though. Nothing really prepared you for the arena crowd.
As the bell rang she charged, meeting Astolfo head on. She clapped down her palms on his collar and another on the inside crook of his elbow, matching his form. She was surprised to find the slender wrestler was much stronger than she expected, finding it difficult to gain any real ground. She slowly circled in their hold, trying to break through and force them down. They remained deadly however.
Her arms shook and strained. She was sure he shifted at one point to make a move, but she managed to hold on tight lying enough to prevent it. "You're way stronger than you look..." She admitted begrudgingly. Leah had expected she should just steamroll though her opponent but that wasn't the case. Her heart was racing now, she was in for a real fight for sure.
She suddenly twisted her upper body, trying to slip around in their hold. Yanking down at his arm while hooking her arm around behind her foes neck, trying to yank him down into a fairly standard side headlock. If she managed to do that, her back would be to him as she cinched in the hold.

He would hear his opponent saying it was the first time in this kind of match but not the ring. To be fair, he was in the exact same situation, never having done a single hentai match before. Well, he decided not to say anything and get into his corner until the bell would ring.
Once the match started the two would lock in the typical collar and elbow tie up. Both of them were trying to overpower each other. Neither of them could really gain an advantage over each other and his opponent even made a comment about how much stronger he was then he looked. "Thanks but that doesn't mean I will let you off easy." stated Astolfo as he would continue to try to overpower her. His current plan was not working, he needed to do something in order to change the flow of the match to his advantage and break the deadlock.
Yet before he could figure out a plan, he would suddenly find himself being placed in a side headlock. "Gah!" stated the pink hair wrestler as he would then use a single hand to try and pry her arm off him. His other hand would attempt to start pushing on Leah back, trying to push her off him. He wasn't sure if it was going to work but he needed to try something to get out of the hold.

She seemed rather proud of herself having turned the early grapple around in her favor, giving a small cheer. So long in the moment she nearly lost it all when Astolfo gave her a shove. She stumbled, dragging him along with her. She managed to catch her footing, giving his head a wrench for the trouble of nearly costing her the headlock. "I don't think so!" She didn't intend to hold it for long to begin with. She trudged towards the ropes, bringing her prisoner along for the ride as she picked up pace to a near run.
Charging forward, she leapt up at the last minute, hurdling towards the ropes. Her weight sunk in as her bare feet made contact, pushing the ropes to their limits. The cables snapped back allowing her to jump off of them, spinning the two of them the way she had come. She attempted to bring them both to the mat with her springboard bulldog.
She'd try to maintain the hold after slamming into the ground, but there was a brief window upon impact where she lost her grip, potentially allowing her foe to slip free before she had a chance to lock it back in.
by Serpon on Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:42 am
Astolfo attempted to get out of the headlock but he was unable to do so. He would feel the two of them getting closer and closer to the ropes. Then his opponent would suddenly jump on the ropes before spinning the two of them. He knew what was coming next but if his opponent did everything right, there wouldn't be any way for him to escape. Though it seemed that Leah lost her grip for a bit, which Astolfo would use to his advantage. He would push his opponent off him and let her crash into the ground.
by Yori on Tue Jan 23, 2018 10:32 am
Springboarding off the ropes are far harder to do barefoot as it turns out. She wasn't exactly the most gifted girl when it came to rope play to begin with, so this bold move of flash and daring was a risk she hoped would pay off. As she jumped from the ropes however, it seemed as though he grip had faltered.
Her opponent had slipped his head free, giving her a solid shove int the air to speed her decent. She hit the mat hard on her backside, bouncing once than twice before coming to a stop to a groan as she sat on the canvas, bent down over her own legs. At least she was flexible enough to touch her toes if she wanted.
"Owowow!" She leaned forward, rubbing at her rump as she tried to get up onto her knees, apparently she caught a bit of ring burn with her skidding along the ground like a skipped stone across a pond.
by Serpon on Thu Jan 25, 2018 7:21 am
Astolfo seemed to have gotten lucky again, with his opponent losing her grip on him. This resulted in her landing on her back while Astolfo gave a smirk. But he needed to act quickly and seize this opportunity that had presented itself to him. The match had started and his opponent would not stay down unless he made sure. As his opponent started to get up, the pink hair wrestler would attempt to get behind Leah her and attempt to wrap his legs around her waist and one of his arm around her neck and the other around her head, trying to place her in a sleeper hold.

Txas area regulated on account of this insect, permit requirements covering the interstate movement therefrom of regulated citrus fruits have been ordered resumed on February 9, 1948. These permit requirements were temporarily suspended at the beginning of the harvest season on September 1, 1947, pending reappearancecf alt Infestation. Grove inspection and sanitation procedures and the requirements for packing-house operation have continued while permit requirements were suspended.
to assure against spread of the Mexican fruitfly when it is present in adult form and likely to lay eggs on citrus fruit of the current season's crop. Restoration of the requirements is therefore necessary as soon as surveys or traps disclose the first appearance of adults of this insect. The first few adults of the season were observed recently. To accomplish the purpose for which they are intended these requirements must be restored immediately. For the reasons stated, it is found upon good cause, pursuant to the provisions of section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act (60 Stat. 238), that notice and public procedure on this order are necessary, impracticable, and contrary to the public interest, and good cae is found for issuing the order effective bess than thirty days after publication.
301.64-3f Administrative instructions ordering the resumption of permit uirements for interstate movement of citrus fruits from the regulated area.-The Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, having determined that natural conditions exist with respect toth area regulated by Notice of Quarantine No 64 on account of the Mexican fruitfly (7 CFR 1945 supp. 301.64 to 301.64-7, incl.) which make it necessary to resume all permit requirements relative to intertate movent of regulated citrus fruits from the regulated area to prevent dissemination of this insect, hereby restores all permit requirements for the laturtate movement of such fruits from such regulated areas, effective 12:01 a.m., February 9, 19148, until due notice of the lifting of such permit requirements shall have been given.
These administrative instructions cancel and supersede B.E.P.Q. 565, effective september 1, 1947 (12 F.R. 5833).
Done at Washington, D. C., this 4th day of February 1948.


For many years, most of Duval County's lowest-scoring schools have been the elementary, middle and high schools in the Ribault, Raines, and Jackson high school regions.
Those 36 schools struggled with high teacher turnover, falling enrollment, frustratingly poor report card grades. Their principals often struggled to fill open positions with high-quality teachers.
Now, these schools are being called "transformation" schools.
About 90 percent of the 200 open positions in those schools are filled, many by some of the district's highest-scoring teachers, Duval Superintendent Nikolai Vitti told parents last week. He expects all the teachers in place by the first day of school, Aug. 18.

A funny, emotional novel full of southern charm about a mother and daughter ready to start over.
"Liz Talley delivers. Her dialogue is crisp and smart, her characters are vivid and real, her stories are unputdownable." —Robyn Carr, New York Times bestselling author
For a good part of Daphne Witt's life, she was a supportive wife and dutiful mother. Now that she's divorced and her daughter, Ellery, is all grown up, Daphne's celebrating the best part of her life, a successful career, and a flirtation with an attentive hunk fifteen years her junior…who happens to be her daughter's ex-boyfriend.
Ellery is starting over, too. She's fresh out of college. Her job prospects are dim. And to support her fiancé in med school, she's returned home as her mother's new assistant. Ellery never expected her own life plan to take such a detour. With no outlet for her frustration, she lets an online flirtation go a little too far, especially considering her pen pal thinks he's corresponding with her mother.
As love lives tangle, secrets spill, and indiscretions are betrayed, mother and daughter will have a lot to learn—not only about the mistakes they've made but also about the men in their lives and the women they are each hoping to become.

★ Have participated previously in Simply Nourished Like a Mother.
★ Currently have fifteen or more pounds to lose.
★ Not be in the midst of a race training cycle. The Metabolic Reset protocol allows for minimal cardio for four weeks; if you have a half-marathon or marathon in the next five months, it's best to focus on training. After your race, we'd love for you to participate in Metabolic Reset.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will receive a detailed email upon your registration, letting you know exactly what you need to do in preparation for Metabolic Reset. Ellie will review your materials; if you are not a proper fit for Metabolic Reset, we will refund your registration fee.
In order to maximize personalized attention, we are limiting Metabolic Reset to 15 people. If you are not able to get in this round, please email us and we will put you on a waiting list and notify you if a slot for this round frees up or when the next round opens.
Who designed the Metabolic Reset protocol?
The brains—and smile—behind Metabolic Reset is Ellie Kempton, founder of Simply Nourished. At her very core, she is a lifestyle architect focused on functional nutrition therapy.
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a master's degree in Functional Nutrition from Bastyr University, Ellie can understand your situation, think critically to find solutions for your biggest challenges, and ground everything in the best of traditional techniques. Ellie's services utilize real food and lifestyle design to help you find wellness and balance.
• The printed materials for each phase—Rest; Rebuild; Reignite—encompass instructions + recipes + meal plans + shopping lists. In other words, everything you need to thrive outside of our weekly meetings.
• Over the course of the week, we encourage you to integrate the practices that are the focus that week. On the private Facebook page, you'll share tips and recipes that are working—or not working—for you, creating group momentum and Metabolic Reset team that will help you stay accountable and motivated.
I've worked with Ellie one-on-one previously. Will I still get something out of Metabolic Reset?
Yes, especially if she has recommended you join this program.
I'm really nervous about doing a group weight loss program, especially when Ellie is so good one-on-one. What are your thoughts?
We agree: Ellie is a ROCK STAR one-on-one. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind when considering doing the group Metabolic Reset vs. working with her one-on-one. The most important? During the previous two rounds of group Metabolic Reset, Ellie commented multiple times on how great it was to have everybody on the same program at once; she noted how integral the shared experience + community support was to both momentum and success.
If you have a significant medical or hormonal condition that requires focused personalization, then one-on-one is likely right for you. Otherwise, the group program is a great way to go, and if need be, you can follow up with a short one-on-one with Ellie after you've laid a solid, six-week foundation of Metabolic Reset.
I'm a vegetarian or vegan. Will Metabolic Reset work for me?
While Ellie fully supports vegetarian + vegan lifestyles, this program is currently tailored to at least partial consumption of animal protein. (We're working on a 100% vegetarian program but do not have it available just yet.) If you are open to eating 1-2 servings daily of animal protein—it can be solely seafood—Metabolic Reset will suit your needs well. Make it clear in your intake form (received upon registration) that you'd prefer to follow a mostly vegetarian diet while participating in the program and Ellie will make sure to offer modifications to make this plausible.
I have <15 pounds to lose. Can I still participate?
Metabolic efficiency is of utmost importance to Ellie. Whether you have 5, 10 or 15 pounds to lose, it's possible to reach those goals without the structure + rigidity of the Metabolic Reset. Instead, focusing on sustainable eating patterns + holistic lifestyle design will help you accomplish your goals. Simply Nourished Like a Mother does just that, and is a great place to land.
Please note: Upon registration, you will fill out an intake form as well as submit your labs. If Ellie doesn't feel like you are a good fit for Metabolic Reset, we will notify you and issue you a refund.
What if I don't have all the labs you require?
Ideally, you have had, within the last six months, the following items tested: TSH; free T4; free T3; rT3; all 3 estrogens; testosterone; progesterone; HBA1C; CRP; Complete Metabolic Panel. That said, we realize insurance may not cover them all or you may not have had the chance to have them all tested recently.
Upon registration, you will receive instructions on how to submit what recent labs you do have. Ellie will take a look at those, and let you know if she needs more information.
I *really* need to run regularly. I know I can't be training for a race, but is it cool if I just run?
No. Truly—or at least if you want to maximize the Reset. The first few weeks of Metabolic Reset allow for 15 minutes of a moderate walk or strength session. That's it. Exercise allotment incrementally builds from there, but it's far from an hour sweat-session daily. If this feels too restricting, Simply Nourished Like a Mother will be a better fit.
Why are you limiting enrollment to 15?
Because we are adamant that each person gets the personal attention they need in order to succeed at Metabolic Reset—and sustain their weight loss. If you are unable to get into this round, please email us and we'll put you on a waiting list and let you know if a spot opens up.
We strongly encourage you to take a look at the next six weeks and make sure you have the bandwidth (schedule-wise, mentality-wise, life-wise) to focus on the Metabolic Reset. It is a significant commitment, and to get the most out of it, you will best served if you can attend the weekly meetings and follow the detailed protocol.
That said, because Metabolic Reset is thoughtfully structured and you have support in myriad ways, you'll be able to follow parts of the program on your own occasionally if necessary.
We will be unable to issue refunds or do-overs for Metabolic Reset, so please check your calendar and motivation fully before you register.

The Sachs Elan was an epicyclic internal hub gear for bicycles, developed and manufactured by the bicycle division of the German company Fichtel & Sachs. It was considered heavy and production units were plagued with quality issues. The gear hub was discontinued before the turn of the 2000 millennium.

History
The Elan was introduced in 1995 and manufactured until 1998. With its 12 speeds and an overall range of 339% it was the most advanced epicyclic hub gear at the time, and the first hub gear commercially available with more than 7 speeds.

After SRAM Corporation took over ownership of the German bicycle component manufacturer, the Elan was sold under the name Spectro E12.

The Elan received a blow with the introduction of the Speedhub 500/14 by the then small family-owned company Rohloff AG of Hessen, Germany, a technically more advanced product, and was discontinued before the turn of the 2000 millennium.

Specifications
Weight was a full 3.4 kg (7 1/2 pounds) and 4 kg with an integrated coaster brake.

Gear ratios

Versions
MH 12110 with coaster brake
MH 12010 without coaster brake

5 of Heartland's 8 Winning Playwrights Coming to Bloomington-Normal
Heartland Theatre Artistic Director Mike Dobbins has announced that five of the eight winning playwrights in Heartland's annual 10-minute Play Festival, this year on the theme "Playing Games," are planning trips to Bloomington-Normal to see their plays on stage and to attend a reception hosted by the 10-Minute Play Festival's sponsors, Deanna Frautschi and Alan Bedell.
So far, John Poling from Clinton, Illinois, will be traveling the shortest distance among the playwrights, and he will be joined by Meny Beriro (Queens NY), Jerry McGee (Brooklyn NY), Marj O'Neill-Butler (Miami Beach FL) and Austin Steinmetz (Columbus OH).
Here is the Who's Who of playwrights coming to Bloomington–Normal:
Meny Beriro says that he learned quickly from his students that if you don't keep the story moving, a hand goes up and asks for the bathroom pass. Meny is a Social Studies teacher at Newtown High School in Queens, New York, one of the most culturally diverse schools in the country. He has written short and long plays about many topics ranging from pigeons to Papua New Guinea. His most recent work is called CHANGE, and it's about Neanderthals and politics, not necessarily in that order.
A retired actor, Jerry McGee is now an avid playwright. He was a 2012 Finalist for Firehouse Theatre's Festival of New Plays (QUIET SIDE OF TOWN) and 2010 Playwright-In-Residence at Woodstock Fringe Festival. His plays have been produced at ShortPlayFEST in Bellerica, MA (THIS IS ME TODAY), Wintergreen Arts Center, VA (THE LADY ELGIN), Ruskin Theatre, Santa Monica (DO YOU SMOKE AFTER SEX?), and Collision Festival, NY (JEANNIE WITH THE LIGHT BROWN HAIR). He is a member of Dramatists Guild. He grew up in Nebraska, misses the Midwest and is very happy to be back at Heartland after last year's HOW TO WEED YOUR GARDEN.
Marj O'Neill-Butler, a member of the Dramatists Guild and the International Center for Women Playwrights, is a produced playwright of TRUE BLUE at The Women's Theatre Project, eight Theatre for Children scripts, the short plays WHAT IF? and now MISSED CONNECTIONS and a reader's theatre script called THE WOMEN OF THE BEAT GENERATION. A proud member of Equity, SAG, and AFTRA, she has worked as a professional actor, director and stage manager for over 30 years. Visit her online at www.marjorieoneill-butler.com.
John D. Poling tells us that he is honored to have his play selected for this year's festival. This is his first foray into playwriting. Most of his theatre experience has come in the realm of acting and directing, with past roles including John Wilkes Booth in ASSASSINS, Rulon Stacey in THE LARAMIE PROJECT and David Sabin in Heartland Theatre's THE END OF THE TOUR in April 2011. John directed Ken Ludwig's LEADING LADIES in 2010 and will be directing the comedy MARRYING TERRY in 2013. When not satiating his theatre addiction, John is a history instructor at Parkland College in Champaign.
Austin Steinmetz of Columbus Ohio, is thrilled that his play WORD PLAY was chosen as a winner of Heartland Theatre Company's National 10-Minute Play Contest! Recent accomplishments include winning spots in the 2011 and 2012 Theatre Oxford National 10-Minute Play Contests, 2012 Evolution Theatre's Columbus Bicentenial Playwright Festival, and 2011's MadLab Theatre's 6-in-60 Greatest Hits, among others. He earned his BA in Creative Writing in 2005 at Ohio Wesleyan University. He thanks his wife, Cara, for her editing eye and enduring what he coins brain farts.
And here are bios for the other three winning playwrights, who have not as yet confirmed:
Erin Moughon is a NYC-based playwright, by way of Georgia and several other states. She has an MFA from Columbia University. Other works aside from IN MEMORY OF CALVINBALL, the play to be performed at Heartland in June, include SURVIVED BY, SLIP HER A MICKEY and PRETEND THAT YOU OWE ME… as well as the short plays [death]match.com and WHAT IF…? She has been a semi-finalist for both the Princess Grace award and the National Playwrights Conference. In 2007, she was one of the U.S. representatives to World Interplay, an international young playwrights conference in Australia. She works as a 7th and 8th grade public school science and health teacher in Manhattan.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Mike Poblete has lived in Ireland, Canada and the Netherlands. His full length plays include ANTENORA (Robert Moss Theatre); TREADING WATER (The New Theatre – Ireland); THE NEW YORK MONOLOGUES (Theatre For The New City, Smock Alley – Ireland, J Lounge – Vancouver); FLACCID PENIS SEEKS VAGINAL DRYNESS (Dixon Place) and STOKER (The New Theatre – Ireland). One acts staged in 2012 include DATING SUCKS and McRIB McFLURRY. Mike is currently studying playwriting at Trinity College Dublin. www.mikepoblete.wordpress.com
Alexis Roblan is a Brooklyn-based playwright and independent theatre producer. She grew up in Coos Bay, Oregon, and is a graduate of the University of Southern California's MFA in Dramatic Writing program. In 2007, Alexis was one of three American delegates to the World Interplay Festival for young playwrights in Townsville, Australia. Her play, GENESIS, has been developed at The Inkwell in Washington, D.C., and was a Semi-Finalist for the Princess Grace Playwriting Fellowship in 2011. With Rachel Kerry, Alexis co-founded Brain Melt Consortium, a theatre/media arts group based in New York City, in October 2010. She is a member of the New Perspectives Theatre Company's Women's Work Project Short Play Lab, and her play, DAUGHTERS OF LOT, performed as part of the 2012 FRIGID New York Festival, and will be performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland this summer.

To find out more about Coolcarrigan House & Garden call, +353 45 863 527.
Coolcarrigan House & Gardens is a hidden oasis on the edge of the Bog of Allen near Coill Dubh, with a fantastic 15 acre garden full of rare and unusual trees and a small church in a woodland setting, surrounded by a moat.
Coolcarrigan House is an attractive Georgian house built in the 1830's and originally used as a shooting lodge. The house which has been added to and modernised over the years, was built by Robert Mackay Wilson. The church, built by the same architect, has some very interesting stained glass windows and Gaelic scripts on the walls chosen by Douglas Hyde, the first President of Ireland.
The gardens underwent a major renovation program in the 1970's after a windstorm. During this renovation major replanting took place with the assistance of Sir Harold Hillier, the eminent English plantsman. What was created is a very unusual collection of trees and shrubs, many of which will not be found elsewhere in Ireland. It is open to visitors and is visited by many worldwide gardening groups and international dendrologists.
Paths meander through the eight acre garden and create surprises and vistas around every corner. The arboretum was extended by an additional seven acres in 2003 with many new rarities, and a special wild flower meadow.

Atomic Weight of Some Elements Important in Medicine
Centigrade–Fahrenheit Equivalents*
In the US, most laboratory test results are reported in what are termed conventional units; the rest of the world reports results in Système International d'Unités (SI) or international units (IU). The unit basis for SI is updated periodically by a panel.
Many SI units are the same as units used in the US system; however, SI units for concentrations are not. SI concentrations are reported as moles (mol) or decimal fractions of a mole (eg, millimole, micromole) per unit volume in liters (L). Conventional units are reported as mass (eg, grams, milligrams) or chemical equivalency (eg, milliequivalents) per unit volume, which may be in liters or decimal fractions of liters (eg, deciliters, milliliters). Results reported in amount per 100 mL (1 dL) are sometimes expressed as percent (eg, 10 mg/dL may be written as 10 mg%).
Moles, milligrams, and milliequivalents: A mole is an Avogadro's number (6.023 × 1023) of elementary entities (eg, atoms, ions, molecules); the mass of 1 mole of a substance is its atomic weight in grams (eg, 1 mole of sodium = 23 g, 1 mole of calcium = 40 g). Similarly, the mass of a given quantity of substance divided by its atomic weight gives the number of moles (eg, 20 g sodium = 20/23, or 0.87, mol).
An equivalent is a unit that integrates charge and moles; 1 equivalent represents one mole of charges and is calculated by multiplying the number of moles of charged particles in a substance times the valence of that substance. Thus, for ions with a +1 or −1 charge (eg, Na+, K+, Cl−), 1 mole is 1 equivalent (1 × 1 = 1); for ions with a +2 or −2 charge (eg, Ca2+), ½ mole is 1 equivalent (½ × 2 = 1), and so forth for other valence values. A milliequivalent (mEq) is 1/1000 of an equivalent.
The following can be used to convert between mEq, mg, and mmol:
mEq = mg/formula wt × valence = mmol × valence
mg = mEq × formula wt /valence = mmol × formula wt
mmol = mg/formula wt = mEq/valence
(Note: Formula wt = atomic or molecular wt.)
Alternatively, conversion tables are available in print and on the Internet.
