Olimp Pure Whey Isolate 95 is a top-quality whey protein isolate. It is a comfortable and tasty way to increase protein supply in the diet.
Protein – constitutes an extremely important macroelement. It provides amino acids, which are needed by the human organism as "bricks" to form new tissues. Proteins are also essential for the synthesis of many enzymes and hormones. Their proper supply is particularly important for athletes, as their bodies require more intensive regenerative processes. Each training unit is a significant stimulus that leads to microdamage within muscle fibres. It initiates reactions that can result in the formation of new fibres. For the process to go smoothly, it is necessary to provide the organism with the right amount of proteins.
Stimulation of muscle anabolism
A high protein supply is thought to be one of the main conditions that must be fulfilled for an anabolic environment to occur in the organism. It makes it possible to achieve a positive nitrogen balance, which is a marker of the prevalence of formation processes over breakdown reactions within the body.
High content of leucine, essential for anabolism
Apart from the general structural function, amino acids also have their own autonomous functions. In terms of anabolism, the most important one for humans is leucine, one of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Its proper supply helps to reach the so-called leucine threshold, that is the minimum amount that must be provided for anabolic reactions to take place in the organism. This product is characterised by a high content of the amino acid, amounting to about 2.7 g per portion, which is enough to cross the leucine threshold in most cases.
Optimal form of protein
An extremely important advantage of whey protein isolate that makes it more valuable than concentrate is its better quality, which can be observed in a few aspects. First of all, whey protein isolate contains a higher percentage of pure protein. This product contains as much as 85/100 g. Secondly, WPI is characterised by much faster absorbability than WPC. Thanks to that, it is possible to provide the organism with necessary amino acids faster and begin anabolic processes, which is particularly important, for example, in the post-workout period. Thirdly, whey protein isolate is characterised by radically reduced carbohydrate content, thanks to which it is possible to maintain strict control over the supply of macroelements and calories in the diet.
Pharmaceutical conditions of production
Undoubtedly, the conditions in which the product is manufactured are a positive feature. The company Olimp is known for production technology comparable with pharmaceutical standards, which guarantees that the composition of the product on the label is the same as the factual contents. It also ensures that no undesirable contaminants are present in the product.
To sum up, Olimp Pure Whey Isolate 95 is a protein supplement designed for athletes looking for top-quality products. In that way, you can supplement your protein supply, providing a quick injection of amino acids without the need to consume too much of other macroelements. It is easy to prepare and tastes good, thanks to which it is a pleasant addition to everyday diet.

Fat is an essential nutrient plant and animal organisms. Because of the nutritional value and composition of fats are divided into: saturated (mono-saturated and multi-saturated fatty acids) and unsaturated fatty acids (including essential fatty acids - EFA). The group of lipids include lipids (triacylglycerols, waxes), complex fats (glycolipids, phospholipids), sterols and isoprenoids. Saturated fatty acids is a group of fatty acids having different carbon chain lengths, in which except for the carboxyl group, each of the carbon atoms is bound by a single bond. May adversely affect the lipid profile, so they can be used in limited quantities. Fats are a concentrated source of energy, with different flavours, facilitating the consumption and swallowing of food. They have building functions (part of cell membranes and co-create the white matter of the brain). EFAs are precursors of tissue hormones and biologically active compounds. The unsaturated fatty acids include fatty acids from the group Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 (the last digit indicates, on which, counting of the end of the chain, there is a double bond in the appropriate carbon chain. The essential fatty acids include: acids, medium-Omega-3 [n-3 ] included in EFAs [essential fatty acids], and long chain (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) Omega-6 and Omega-9. the number indicates that the last double bond in the carbon chain is on the third from the end carbon atom. The acids from the omega 3 group are essential components of cell membranes, they are precursors of eicosanoids and biological activators. They must be combined with ingestion in suitable proportions of Omega-6 acids.
Dosage: Depending on demand and applied diet. It is generally accepted that fats should constitute 20-30% of the energy (calorie) of meals daily.
Saturated fatty acids
Saturated fatty acids are a group of fatty acid having different carbon chain lengths, in which except for the carboxyl group, each of the carbon atoms is linked by a single bond. Saturated fatty acids are commonly known as bad fat, which might adversely affect the cholesterol level, in particular by the action of acids: lauric, myristic, palmitic, and therefore their consumption should be reduced. Research carried out in this matter do not confirm entirely the prevailing beliefs.
Carbohydrates are an essential nutrient. They are divided into: simple sugars (monosaccharides), disaccharides and polysaccharides. In terms of the human bioavailability of carbohydrates is divided into: digestabe, those which are digested in the gastrointestinal tract by transferring energy to the tissues or cells (such as starch, fructose) and indigestable, resistant to digestive enzymes (e.g. cellulose) . Affects blood glucose levels (glycemic index) and the metabolism of insulin (insulin index). The greatest demand for carbohydrates occurs before physical activity or in the middle of it, because they increase the exercise capacity, consumed after exercise provide regeneration. In the sports diet the absorption rate it is important of carbohydrates and reactions of the organism. Available in mono-preparation supplements and part of the energetic supplements, creatine stacks, nitrogen boosters.
Dosage: according to the statistics of the Institute of Food and Nutrition, carbohydrates should comprise about 50% of daily energy intake. In some diets, used residual carbohydrate consumption, not exceeding 30g / 24h.
Sugars - is the term used to refer to the crystal structure of the carbohydrate (sugar), characterized by a sweet taste. This group includes: sucrose (obtained from sugar cane and sugar beets and natural foods), fruit sugars (fructose) and glucose. Carbohydrate intake should not exceed 10% of the energy consumed during the day meals. Excess intake of sugars leading to diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis and obesity. Particular caution should be performed carbohydrate intake by athletes of sculpting disciplines and people on a diet. A greater need for carbohydrates, due being easily accessible sources of energy, may be in the periods before and after workouts and before and after the fight. Preparations available at www.muscle-zone.pl
Dietary fibre is a mixture of undigested substances and not absorbed by the human body. Due to the properties divided into: insoluble fibre (e.g. cellulose [polysaccharide] found in fruits and vegetables), partially soluble fibre (including hemicellulose occurring with cereal grains and soluble fibre (including pectin, gums, mucilages [polysaccharides]). Dietary fibre affects the digestive system and gastrointestinal system regulating its operation. By filling the stomach (satiety) reduces appetite, lowers triglycerides and cholesterol and consequently can support the weight loss process and maintain a slim body. It also affects blood glucose levels and cleansing the body of toxins. Available in powder formulations (capsules, and powders), mainly containing the soluble fraction (pectin, gums and mucilages) diet and meal replacements.
Dosage: 10-20 grams per day, before or during meals with some water.
Proteins (proteins, polypeptides) is a polymer, of which the basic units (monomers) are amino acids. Protein is composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulfur, and is an elementary nutrient necessary for the proper functioning of the body, an ingredient and a component of tissues, part of the hormones and enzymes and other bioactive substances. Protein determines the proper metabolism and energy processes, as well as all other life processes. The sources of natural proteins are foods of animal origin (including meat, fish, eggs, dairy products) and plant origin (legumes, soy). Deficiency of protein leads to protein malnutrition and a significant weakening of the body. It can lead to anaemia, reduced immunity, muscle relaxation, disorders of the digestive system. Also, overdose protein is undesirable because it can lead to acidification of the body, and interfere with the digestive system and an increase in the concentration of homocysteine in the blood. It is a component of many supplements and nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the body, both showing a low physical activity, or training the strength and endurance competitions.
Dosage: strength athletes: approx. 1.7 - 2.5 g / 1 kg of body weight; endurance athletes and strength -endurance athletes approx. 1.3 - 2 g / 1 kg of body weight, people with low activity approx. 0.8 - 1.1 g / 1 kg of body weight / 24h. In estimating the amount of protein, you should take into account the intake of other nutrients (carbohydrates and fats)
Salt (sodium chloride, or table salt), natural source of electrolytes (chlorine and potassium), regulating water and electrolyte and acid-base balance of the body, affecting the nervous system and blood pressure. Sodium is an essential element for the proper growth. The proper dose of salt prevents overheating of the body and solar stroke. It provides the proper functioning of muscles and nerves the body. Chlorine in combination with sodium, is involved in the digestive process and maintains acid-base balance in the body, as antitoxin removes toxic products of metabolism in the liver. Salt is a flavour component and preservative of many foods, nutritional supplements and mixtures of electrolytes, available at www.muscle-zone.pl
Dosage: no specific standards of consumption, used so as to provide sufficient amount of electrolytes to the body (sodium and chloride).
Vitamin A (retinol) is present in foods of animal origin (fish of the sea, fish, eels, liver, pork and beef, eggs, butter). In the plant products it is present as provitamin A (b-carotene), a powerful antioxidant. The food products containing pro-vitamin A are fruits in yellow and red, including apricots, tomatoes. Necessary in process of building and assimilation of proteins, affects the normal growth of bones and helps the treatment of eye diseases.Iinhibits the excessive action of the thyroid hormone - thyroxine, which simultaneously prevents the deposition of excess vitamin A. Necessary in the sports diet of in the form of food, such as dietary supplements and nutritional supplements.
Vitamin A deficiency causes growth inhibition, flaking and dryness of the skin, impaired night vision (i.e. Night blindness).
Excess of vitamin A leads to calcification of the bones and some soft tissues, and abnormalities in the functioning of glomerulonephritis
Dosage: Specified in IU and it is 5000 IU per day.
Vitamin D belongs to fat soluble vitamins, occurs in three forms: calciferol (vitamin D1) ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), it is formed under the action of sunlight for at least 15 minutes per day. In the absence of sunlight it should be administered in the diet in the form of fish oil (Vitamin A + D3) and fish oils. It is responsible for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is the building substance of bone tissue particularly necessary during pregnancy, childhood, and for athletes. It is a component of dietary supplements and nutrients among competetive athletes. Deficiency of vitamin D causes children growth inhibition, and rickets.
For adults - deficiency causes osteomalacia.
Excess of vitamin D causes headaches, alopecia, nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, pain in the long bones, the deposition of calcium deposits.
Dosage: 400 IU units during the day.
Cholecalciferol
Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, is an organic chemical that belongs to the family of D vitamins. It is naturally found in fatty fish, fish oil, egg yolks, milk and dairy products. It is also synthesized in the human body. It is formed from 7-dehydrocholesterol present in the keratinocytes of the spinous and the basal layers of the epidermis, and a pre-requisite for initiating this process is the action of 290-315 nm wavelength UVB radiation on the skin.
Cholecalciferol is a biologically inactive compound. In the body, it undergoes enzymatic hydroxylation – first in the liver, with the participation of 25-hydroxylase, when calcidiol is formed and secondly in the kidneys, where under the influence of 1-α-hydroxylase, calcidiol is converted into the final active form – calcitriol.
The most important role of vitamin D3 in the body is the regulation of calcium-phosphate metabolism, which directly affects normal skeletal mineralization. In addition, it is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, insulin secretion, as well as in some functions of the nervous, endocrine and immune systems.
Cholecalciferol is the most popular form of vitamin D used in dietary supplements. Studies show that supplementation with vitamin D in this form most effectively and rapidly raises the level of 25 (OH) D3 – a metabolite that is a marker of the level of vitamin D in the body.
Dosage: according to RDI standards for individual age groups.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat soluble. Due to its antioxidant action, it is a protection of other vitamins (e.g. Vitamins A). Protects the body against free radicals, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and its capacity, causing their dilation and dissolution of blood clots. With the reduction of coagulation, it is used as an antiatherogenic medicine, it allows for the proper course of pregnancy. In cooperation with selenium it slows the ageing process of cells, strengthening connective tissue. In the food it is present in whole-grain bread, sprout and grains, vegetable oils (soybean, sunflower), soya beans and sunflower seeds, vegetable fat and hen egg yolks. Also it is used in sports medicine in the form of nutrients and supplements.
Vitamin E deficiency reduces building of red blood cells, results in changes in muscle and disorders of pregnancies.
Dosage: for children, 0.5 mg / 1 kg of weight; for adults 10-30 mg per day.
Vitamin B1 (thiamin, vitamin B) improves mental alertness and strengthens the nervous system ensuring the proper functioning of the brain. It improves cardiac and muscular system. It is suportive in the treatment of shingles. Involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Natural source of vitamin B1 are brown bread, yeast, eggs, raw vegetables, meat, milk, legumes, cheese.
Vitamin B1 deficiency hinders the processes of decomposition of sugars (catabolism), causes a loss of appetite and disorders in the functioning of the digestive tract, can cause polyneuritis and disease beriberi.
Dosage: Recommended daily intake is 1-2 mg.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is soluble in liquids, is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Required for growth of the organism. Takes part in the production of erythrocytes (red blood cells). It is located in natural foods, such as yeast, meat (especially liver, kidney, heart), milk, fish and green leafy vegetables.
A deficiency of vitamin B2 inhibits the growth, diseases of the mouth, loss and greasy hair, seborrhea and stratification of nails. Increases skin roughness and susceptibility to acne and oily skin.
Dosage: 1-2 mg per day.
Vitamin B3 (vitamin PP, niacin, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide) is niacinamide niacin. It is used in interaction with vitamins B1, B2 and B6 in the synthesis of hormones during lactation. It provides proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. It is helpful in inflammatory conditions of the skin. Required for synthesis of sex hormone, estrogen, testosterone, cortisone, and insulin. It does not lose its properties in the manufacturing and storage. The source of acquiring vitamins PP are both products of animal origin (the lean meat, eggs, fish) and vegetable origin (dates, figs, hazelnuts, plums).
Dosage: 2-12 mg / day for children, 14 mg / day for women, 16 mg / day for men and 17-18 mg / day for pregnant or nursing women.
Nicotinic acid amide (Nicotinamide)
Nicotinic acid amide – also known as nicotinamide, belongs to a group of compounds referred to as vitamin B3, along with nicotinic acid and inositol hexanicotinate. It exerts its main biological activity as a precursor to two key coenzymes for efficient energy metabolism of the body: nicotinamide adenine dinucletodide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. They are responsible for carrying hydrogen and electrons in the respiratory chain and thus facilitate efficient energy production by the human body.
Nicotinamide supplementation is recommended for active persons not only because of its ability to promote the body's energy efficiency. It has also a beneficial impact on mind, increases tolerance to stressors and may reduce symptoms of depression. It is pointed out that niacin supplementation correlates positively with sleep quality.
Unlike nicotinic acid, nicotinamide does not show the ability to produce a "flush effect", namely redness in the face caused by taking large doses of niacin. It has been also shown to influence partly cardiovascular function.
Nicotinamide is also indicated to influence beneficially the absorption of other B vitamins and vitamin D. This compound should be taken with caution by diabetics because it can increase the body's demand for insulin.
Vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate, pantothenic acid, pantotenol) is part of a complex of B vitamins affects the development of the central nervous system, is the building substance of cells. In the body synthesized by the intestinal bacteria. It occurs in animal products (meat, kidneys, liver) and plants (wheat germ, wheat bran, nuts, grains, green vegetables). Prevents fatigue and excessive stress, accelerates the healing of cuts and wounds, acts as a stimulant for the side effects of the use of antibiotics. Deficiency causes skin changes, and difficulty in blood clotting.
Calcium (element chem. symbol Ca, atomic no. 20, the group of alkaline earth metals) is the basic building substance of bones and teeth, in which stored is 99% of the element, in the form of hydroxylapatite. When building bones and teeth, phosphorus is very important in the right proportion. It is a base-forming element and activator of many enzymes (ATPase) necessary to release the energy of ATP. It has a significant effect on blood clotting and regulates blood pressure and neuromuscular conductivity. Thanks to the reduced permeability of cell membranes, it soothes the symptoms of food allergies. Calcium is actively involved in the metabolism of iron interacts with vitamins A, C and D and phosphorus, magnesium. Natural source of calcium are animal products (dairy products, sardines, salmon, sprats eaten with bones) and plant products (nuts, soybeans, sunflower seeds). Absorption takes place in the small intestine (less in the colon), it has an effect on the level of lactose, insoluble fibre, organic acids, alkalinity (low pH). The best absorption have organic compounds (lactates, amino acid chelates etc.). Obstructing the absorption of calcium is caused by: phytic acid and oxalic acid as well as excess fat. Scientific studies have confirmed that the combination of calcium, magnesium, boron and vitamin D in dose 3 mg / 24h effectively prevent osteoporosis. Supplements on the market are both mono-preparation supplements (enriched with vitamin D3) and multi-component supplements, available at www.muscle-zone.pl.
Calcium deficiency disorders manifested in the construction of the bones (osteoporosis) and iron metabolism. The symptoms are: rickets, cramps and muscle tremor, osteoporosis.
Excess resulting from an overdose of calcium supplements containing vitamin D3 for children and adults overdose of calcium (hypercalcemia). Symptoms of hypercalcemia are: lack of appetite, vomiting and constipation.
The dosage administered in various publications are inconsistent: 800 - 1000 mg / 24 h (100 - 500 mg / 24h)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine) is soluble in the liquid. It participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. By reducing the amount of fat in the blood do not enable deposition of the body. It helps the absorption of magnesium and vitamin B12 (cobalamin). It works on the muscle antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory pain in the joints. It acts anti. It provides efficient operation of the brain. It increases energy increasing vigor of a man. The demand for vitamin B6 increases during pregnancy and breast-feeding infants. The natural product is: yeast, eggs, wheat germ, meat (liver), wheat bran, nuts, peanuts peanuts, soybeans. There is a hypothesis that can be synthesized by intestinal bacteria.
Deficiency of vitamin B6 causes abnormal metabolism of proteins, decrease in lymphocytes in the blood, causes a feeling of lethargy and fatigue intensifies.
Dosage: 1.5-2.5 mg daily (increased demand during pregnancy and lactation).
What is pyridoxine hydrochloride?
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a basic, the most commonly used form of vitamin B6 in supplements and fortified foods. It is a vitamin soluble in water. It converts to the active form of the vitamin - pyridoxal phosphate.
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in many enzymatic reactions. It takes part in the production of many neurotransmitters, such as GABA, serotonin and catecholamines and it takes part in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates and lipids. It is an important factor for the process of the creation of red cells and hemoglobin and its deficit may be one of the factors causing anemia. This vitamin contributes to maintaining proper energy metabolism and is important for maintaining well-being and good psychological condition. Its presence supports the breakdown of pro-inflammatory homocysteine to cysteine and further metabolites, thanks to which it may decrease the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiological incidents.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride may be found in many vitamin B complexes and vitamin-mineral preparations available in the offer of muscle-zone.pl.
Folic acid - also known as vitamin B9, is a synthetic form of naturally occurring folates. It needs to be transformed to folates in order to be biologically active also in the human organism. Therefore, its supplementation is recommended to people who do not have problems with methylation processes.
The majority of people associate folic acid with the period of pregnancy. It is definitely a justified association. Proper supply of vitamin B9 conditions correct development of the fetus and prevents disorders of neural tube defects in a baby.
Supplementation with folic acid also demonstrates positive influence on the functions of the nervous system of adults. Some sources say that it is conducive to maintaining beneficial emotional states. Moreover, folic acid takes part in the process of erythropoiesis, thanks to which it enables efficient production of red cells.
Supplementation with folic acid should be also considered by men who deal with low sperm quality. It was proven that complementing the level of vitamin B9 is conducive to increasing reproductive abilities of men.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin, cyanocobalamin) is a vitamin soluble in liquids. Participates in the production of red blood cells and is essential in the absorption of iron by the body. It calming effect, a positive effect on concentration and memory. Intensifies its action in cooperation with folic acid (vitamin M). Usually occurs in animal products, fish and dairy products. It contains trace elements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anaemia, general and immunity weakness, inhibiting of growth and damage to the myelin sheath of nerves.
What is cyanocobalamin?
Cyanocobalamin is a basic, the most commonly met form of vitamin B12 in vitamin B complexes and multivitamins available on the market.
Vitamin B12 is the most known for its influence on neurology. It takes part in building and regenerating myelin sheaths of neurons, thanks to which it contributes to the protection of the nervous system against damages. Because of the ability to increase the level of S-Adenosyl methionine, vitamin B12 may contribute to more efficient synthesis of many neurotransmitters, thanks to which it positively influences well-being and psychical condition.
This vitamin is also engaged in the process of blood production and its deficiencies contribute to the creation of megaloblastic anemia. Its deficits may also concern vegetarians and vegans, elderly people, people with absorption disorders and those using drugs neutralizing gastric acid.
Cyanocobalamin is included in the composition of many complex vitamin supplements that may be found in the offer of muscle-zone.pl.
Biotin (vitamin H, co-enzyme R) is in a group of B vitamins, due to the presence of sulphur compounds it is involved in the synthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Also synthesized in the intestines. It enhances the production of hormones and regulates cholesterol levels. It reduces muscle pain. It prevents hair loss and graying of hair. It soothes the skin inflammations. No toxic effects. Often combined with other B group vitamins and vitamin A. The natural sources of biotin are: whole grain bread, yeast, eggs (yolk), milk, brown rice and cheese.
Daily demand: 100-300 mg per day
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) it is a vitamin soluble in body fluids, can be taken from foods (fruits and vegetables), or as drug derived synthetically. The largest of its resources can be found in broccoli, Brussels sprout, kale, black currant fruit and hawthorn, citrus fruits, tomatoes, Savoy cabbage, potatoes. In fact, intake of vitamin C of the food products does not limit the absorbed quantity. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a potent antioxidant, it is an antitoxic, increasing the immune system due to the elimination of risk of bacterial contamination. Vitamin C prevents rupture of blood vessels, affects the blood cholesterol level. It substantially increases the absorption of iron. Inhibits the growth of cancer cells. Lowers stress levels.
Vitamin C deficiency causes abnormal development of connective tissue, cracking capillaries, abnormal calcification of bone tissue, impaired absorption of iron, scorbutus. With the lack of vitamin C, all kinds of injuries do not heal up properly. Vitamin C deficiency can be caused by smoking; each cigarette is destroying up to 100 mg of vitamin C.
Dosage: The demand is 60-80 mg daily. It does not limit the ability to consume higher doses. Some side effects may occur only with longer taking of synthetic vitamin C.
Ascorbic acid – vitamin C. Its biologically active form is the L-isomer, which negatively rotates the polarised light, so that it is a dextroisomer (laevorotatory vitamin C does not exist). It is a strong antioxidant; it reduces the amounts of free radicals, which reduces oxidative stress, a factor leading to cell apoptosis, which is why it is indicated to be a cause for premature ageing.
It supports the immune system functions and increases body system immunity. It is an essential element of the collagen synthesis path, which is why it positively affects the condition of connective tissue. Hence, it promotes also wound healing and increases the durability of capillary vessel. It is involved in transformations of tyrosine and carnitine as well as of some nutrients, so that it affects metabolism. It can also have an impact on the nervous system functions, as it reduces mental fatigue.
Higher supply of vitamin C is especially recommended in the periods of more intensive body system burden, after infections and in order to accelerate regeneration. The indications for increased supply of the vitamin are also hard physical work or intensive trainings.

Her job is to safeguard the rights of children, and when it comes to education she would like to see lawmakers "promoting shared education over segregated education and integrated over everything else".
The Commissioner wants young people's voices to be heard in the education debate and she will call leaders to account "when they get it wrong".
The right to education is enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child "no matter who they are, regardless of race, gender or disability".
This edition of VIEW seeks to give an insight into how a so-called 'post-conflict' society educates its children, with insights from Northern Ireland and Bosnia.
In particular, we investigate 'shared' and 'integrated' education models in Northern Ireland; we look at Omagh, Co Tyrone, where in August 1998 the town centre was devastated by a bomb which killed 29 people.
The spotlight on education also moves to Bosnia, where last year a group of pupils in the town of Jajce raised their voices against segregation by protesting in the streets, jointly displaying Bosnian and Croatian flags. We asked a local reporter for an update.
Teachers, as well as politicians, academics and campaigners have given us their views on educating children in Northern Ireland today. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this edition of VIEW.

If you thought Burning Man was just a steampunk renaissance fair for filthy hippies, like I did, you too may be surprised to learn that this $10 million helicopter is doing taxi service for (rich) people who want to go to the party.
The event's organizers describe Burning Man as "a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance." So who are we to judge if your expression includes arriving like the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a glossy black Sikorsky S76?
That S76 truly is a thing of beauty. Active in various forms since the 1980's, some can cruise at over 150 MPH and top out at a blistering 175+. And you can see from the interior shots in that clip, Black Rock really spread some magic throughout the substantial passenger cabin. No tent is going to be as nice as one of those seats.
Burning man is actually going on right now through September 5th, by the way. And this year's theme is da Vinci's Workshop. So actually, riding in with a helicopter might be appropriate after all.

Record Store Day: Interview with Beach Day
" I just want to keep feeding a place that feeds my record addiction: it's a mutual relationship."
(Kimmy Drake - Beach Day)
Retro rockers Beach Day rake themselves away from Floridian sands to tell The G-Man about their favourite record stores and what Record Store Day means to them...
Hollyweird trio Beach Day's Ronnie Spector-on-a-surfboard styled sunshine pop is as infectious as the want for ice-cream on an August bank holiday Monday. The release of début long-player Trip Trap Attack may be a few months away (June 18th), but lead singer Kimmy Drake - with a little input here and there from Beach Day bandmates Skyler and Natalie - is still available to chat about April 20th and all things record-y.
The G-Man: What is your favourite record store, where is it located and why does it hold a special place in your heart?
Kimmy Drake (Beach Day): Our favourite record store is Radio-Active Records. It's located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I've been collecting records for years and they always have what I want. If they don't have it, they can always get it for me.
In January, HMV Ireland closed its doors yet independent record stores such as Plugd Records (Cork) and Tower (Dublin) live on. What role do you feel local independent record stores play in the community as opposed to large chains?
Local record stores are at the heart of local music scenes in every town. It's a place that anyone can go and become excited about new and old music. And you can always find people that are into the same freaky stuff that you're into. You won't find that at Best Buy or whatever. Also, they cater to the lonely, the freaky and the music obsessives. Great places!
What is the first record you have ever bought?
Kimmy: Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Skyler: Jackson 5 - ABC
Nat: Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah
Do you visit record stores when on tour? What is the weirdest (or simply most original) record store that you have ever visited?
When we get to a town early, we always wanna go and check out the town's record store! The most original and one of our favourite record stores is Grimey's in Nashville, Tennessee. We played there last summer and it was awesome! They have such an amazing selection of records and they have a venue downstairs and a beautiful park across the street. Awesome shop!
Being as truthful as you possibly can, what record is your guiltiest pleasure?
Kimmy: Shakira - Laundry Service. So embarrassing...
Skyler: Toby Keith - Greatest Hits Volume 2.
Nat: Katy Perry - One Of The Boys.
What would you say to a young music lover who has never visited a record store before?
I would say open the door slowly, walk inside, look around, take it all in. You'll want to remember your first visit. You'll be coming back for the rest of your life.
Describe your last record shopping trip?
My last record shopping trip was great because I was looking for a present for one of my friends. I really love buying records for people. I was looking for something specific and I found it at Radio-Active Records: a special 7" release by Third Man Records of a White Stripes song from their third record.
What does Record Store Day mean for you?
Record Store Day is always such a super fun day. To me it means supporting my community and keeping one of my favourite places to go alive. I just want to keep feeding a place that feeds my record addiction: it's a mutual relationship. Record Store Day is a celebration of the personal relationship that each music lover has with their favourite record store. Buy, buy, buy and keep them alive!
April 20th 2013 will be the sixth annual record store day. Any fond memories from previous Record Store Days that you would like to share?
I've been going to Record Store Day consecutively for the last 4 years. It just keep growing. Every year it gets bigger and bigger! Record Store Day 2010 was really fantastic, I couldn't believe how much bigger it was from the year before. I discovered a great local band there that year. Record Store Day 2012 was so amazing because our band got to play at Radio-Active Records. It was a huge party with lots of great bands, hundreds of people, vendors and our favourite food trucks.
Describe what it felt like the first time you saw one of your releases in a record store.
It was really exciting to see our first 7" (Beach Day) in a record store. It's just a feeling of pride and accomplishment. And it's really humbling. I felt so grateful - like the universe was on my side for a moment.
If you owned a record store, what would you name it and would you be a good record store owner?
Beach Freak Out Records! I'd be an awesome record store owner because I love all kinds of music and would make sure I was stocked up with the best stuff at all times. I'd also be bad because I'd want to stock mostly 60's vinyls and I wouldn't want to stock the mainstream stuff! (laughs)

For much of its existence St Cuthbert's was a country kirk, outwith the city wall and in the county of Lothian and Tweeddale. In the reign of King David I of Scotland (1124 – 1153), Edinburgh was clustered on the ridge which runs eastwards from the Castle. All along the foot of the northern slope of the Castle rock was a morass or marsh and from there northwards it was all countryside until one came to Newhaven and Leith on the coast.
The Kirk below the Castle of Edinburgh has a claim to great, but imprecise, antiquity. One theory about its origins is that St Cuthbert journeyed from Melrose and stayed awhile in the sheltered hollow below the Castle rock. Another view is that the Church came into being only fifty years before the 1127 Charter. Simeon of Durham, in 1130, wrote of a church in Edwin's Burgh in 854 but whilst some believe it was St Cuthbert's others think St Giles.
1127: King David I granted a Charter giving all the land below the Castle to St Cuthbert's. This is the oldest document in the Scottish Records Office, Register House, Edinburgh.
1128: Foundations laid for the Abbey of Holyrood. A few years later, King David gave the Church and Parish of St Cuthbert to the new Abbey. St Cuthbert's parish was very extensive in the 12th century with considerable revenues but the transfer to the Abbey meant a material lessening of status. The new Augustinian Abbey employed vicars to care for the souls of the parish but it also pocketed the surplus revenue!
Very little is known of the life of the Church during the Roman Catholic period – the 12th to the mid-16th century – but an occasional reference to St Cuthbert's appears in Vatican documents.
1242: 16th March, St Cuthbert's-under-the-Castle rededicated by the Bishop of St Andrews.
1314: An English Knight, St Giles de Argentine, fought and died at Bannockburn. Sir Walter Scott would later describe in his "Tales of a Grandfather" and "Lord of the Isles", how the Knight's body was brought to a quiet resting place "in Sanct Cuthbertis Kirk beside Edinburgh". Scottish Independence was restored after Robert the Bruce's defeat of the English army.
1385: Richard II led an army north and burned Holyrood and Edinburgh. It is possible St Cuthbert's was damaged or even destroyed at that time.
1450: Large marshy area beside the Church used to form the Nor' Loch.
1544: The Earl of Hertford was sent by King Henry VIII to enforce marriage between Mary, Queen of Scots and Henry's son, Edward. Mary had become Queen at one week old in 1542. The Scots refused this "Rough Wooing" and so Leith was captured, Border Abbeys destroyed, Holyrood and Edinburgh burned and St Cuthbert's suffered severely.
1550: In "Cosmographie", published in Basle, Alexander Alesius wrote that "Under the rock of the Maiden Castle is the new parish Church of St Cuthbert".
1559: John Knox became leader of the Reforming Party and drew up the Scottish Confession of Faith. The Reformation sought to restore Christianity to its early purity.
1560: Scottish Confession of Faith adopted by the Scottish Parliament.
20th December, William Harlow, first Protestant Minister of St Cuthbert's, attended the first General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (held in the Church of St Mary Magdalene). Originally a tailor in the Canongate, Harlow became a noted leader in the new Kirk of Scotland. He conducted the first reformed service in St Cuthbert's. Previously a priestly exercise watched by the people, this service – in their own tongue – invited participation. Each parish appointed a Kirk Session of lay-elders. Any wrong-doers, be they rich or poor, were brought before the Session. One of the elders' duties was to go out into the parish on Sundays and find out what the absentees were doing!
1573: English artillery sent to end the siege of Edinburgh Castle, held for Mary, Queen of Scots (reign 1542-67, executed 1587). A battery, set up near the Church by the English, attracted gunfire from the Castle and the thatched roof of St Cuthbert's Church was set ablaze.
1574: Rev. William Harlow gained a distinguished colleague named Robert Pont. Under their ministries, the West Kirk, as it was now called, had "ane greit congregatioun". King James VI (reign 1567 – 1625) had grown to hate the Presbyterian Church, especially when it became extreme and calvinist. He appointed bishops and forbade the Assembly to meet. Robert Pont was the second minister of St Cuthbert's after the Reformation. He was one of the most eminent of its Ministers and was born in Culross and educated at St Andrew's University. Learned in law, he was, at various times, a senator of the College of Justice, Provost of Trinity College, Commissioner of Orkney and five times Moderator of the General Assembly. He strongly opposed James VI's attempts to introduce Episcopacy but he and others had to flee to England. On his return he was briefly imprisoned. Nicol Dalgleish was appointed in Robert Pont's absence, and he too was arrested for sympathising with his exiled brethern.
1583: Kirk Session issued begging permits for use by the parish poor.
1584: During Robert Pont's absence, William Aird became Minister of the West Kirk. This able and fearless man was chosen by the Presbytery to excommunicate the wild Earl of Bothwell, a great favourite of the King!
1585: Robert Pont welcomed back to St Cuthbert's.
1592: Being near the City, the Church had many aged, helpless, infirm and vagrant people to provide for. The list of the poor recorded 80 names.
1593: Badge system introduced to help each parish identify its own poor.
1594: Extensive church repairs left no money for a Manse. Robert Pont agreed to pay for one himself and it was later bought from his heirs. By the end of the 16th Century, the Kirk also had a small cemetery which – in over a century's time – would have the unwelcome attention of grave-robbers. The main thoroughfare we now call Princes Street was then a straight country road called the Lang Dykes and, to the north, was a bleak common called Bearford's Parks. A road called Kirk Loan ran from the Church to Stockbridge and, because of this, the Princes Street gate of St Cuthbert's is still known as the Stockbridge Gate.
1596: First reference made to a school, run by the Session Clerk
1606: After much loyal service to St Cuthbert's, Rev Robert Pont died. His body was originally interred in the Church but was later moved to the churchyard. At the Reformation, the parish population was 2000 but, by 1606, congregation size had increased considerably so lofts were added inside the Church and new parts were built on.
1612: Samuel West applied to run a school at West Port and others followed in different parts of the Parish.
1621: Parliament disjoined several parts of the burgh of Edinburgh which lay within St Cuthbert's parish. These transferred to Kirks within the city.
1627: Another Act led to more lands being annexed and so began the gradual reduction in size of St Cuthbert's Parish.
1633: King Charles I (reign 1625 – 49) visited Scotland and tried to establish Episcopacy. He appointed a bishop in Edinburgh and introduced an English style Prayer Book but the West Kirk refused to conform.
1638: Opposition to the rule of the King led to the drawing up and signing of the National Covenant in Greyfriars Churchyard (it disavowed the Divine Rights of Kings in favour of man's duty to God). The General Assembly met, deposed the bishops and rejected the Service Book. Charles I sent an army but it was defeated by the Covenanters.
1640: St Cuthbert's Church and Churchyard used by the Covenanters.
1650: After defeating the Scots at Dunbar, Oliver Cromwell (rule 1653 – 1658), his troops and their horses, occupied the Church. The result was described thus: "The Church was altogider spoyled; naither pulpit, laft, nor seat left therein and full of filth; and also the roof ruinous by shotts of canone and muskett"!
1661: In this year, King Charles II (reign 1660 – 85) re-instated bishops, and banned the Assembly. Reverends Reid and Williamson of the West Kirk were amongst about 350 non-conforming ministers deprived of their charges. David Williamson, probably the most romantic of St Cuthbert's Ministers, prophesied he would "return and die minister of this Church". He served the persecuted Covenanters over many years, preaching in the hills and fields. His most famous narrow escape took place at the house of a Lady Cherrytrees near Edinburgh. Troopers arrived suddenly, but the astute Lady Cherrytrees gave Williamson a night-gown and put him into bed with her daughter, Jean Kerr. That escapade may have earned him the sobriquet of "Dainty Davy" but he may also have been dainty in person. He was probably a lady's man because he married seven times, including the girl in the bed! As he prophesied, he returned in happier days as Minister of St Cuthbert's.
1688: The "Glorious Revolution" replaced James VII (also James II of England, reign 1685-1688) with William and Mary and the Presbyterian Church was restored in Scotland. Rev Williamson and Rev Anderson substantially increased St Cuthbert's congregation. This was reflected in collections for the poor whose numbers had continued to grow.
1706: Reverend David Williamson died aged about 72 years. He was buried next to his predecessor, Robert Pont but his widow erected no headstone – perhaps because her six predecessors would have had to be listed!
1707: The Union of Parliaments. There was much opposition to this, particularly in Scotland, where people felt they would lose more than they would gain. Rev Neil McVicar was appointed to the collegiate charge of St Cuthbert's. Courage and a muscular Christianity marked the Rev Neil McVicar, a Highlander and previously an army chaplain at Fort William. He spoke Gaelic and so was appointed to take charge of the Highlanders in and around the city. He strenuously upheld the Government position during the two Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745 – the Jacobites being those who remained loyal to James VII after he was deposed by his son-in-law, William of Orange. This Minister feared God but feared no man. Once he was threatened by a fellow who said he would have thrashed McVicar but for his clerical coat. In a moment the coat was on the ground and the Minister cried: "There lies the Minister of the West Kirk and here stands Neil McVicar, and by Yea and by Nay, sir, come on". The man wisely fled!
1721: Act of Parliament restored patronage, that is the congregation lost the right to choose their own Ministers. Ministers and congregation strongly opposed the Act but did so in vain.
1732: Edinburgh was notorious for its riots and St Cuthbert's experienced this around the Church doors. A new Minister was presented to the congregation but he was not acceptable to some of them and so a riot began. The City Guard, commanded by Captain Porteous, was called for, to quell the disturbance. Musket shots were fired and several rioters injured. Four years later, the same Captain Porteous and his Guards fired at rioters in the city, killing six of them. The mob took their revenge then and hanged Porteous in the Grassmarket.
1743: Rev Neil McVicar produced a survey of the Parish population – 9,493 people living throughout 26 area divisions.
1745: September, news reached Edinburgh that the Highland Army was approaching. The Gaelic-speaking horde had a fearsome reputation and so great excitement and terror was roused in the population. Prince Charles Edward Stuart seized the city. Several hundred in Edinburgh actively supported him and attended the Ball at Holyrood House after the Jacobite victory at Prestonpans but the Ministers of St Cuthbert's Church – Rev Pitcairn and Rev McVicar – opposed him. Apart from one service held at the Tron Church, there was no public worship in the city itself during this time and many people sought refuge in the countryside. The Ministers of St Cuthbert's, however, continued to hold normal services which were well attended despite the political and military upheaval happening all around.
1747: After nearly forty years serving St Cuthbert's, Neil McVicar died aged 75. He was buried in the Churchyard.
1753: Parish population over 12,000 and Church accommodation quite inadequate. The Little Kirk, as it was known, was almost a ruin.
1754: Proposal made and approved by the Kirk Session to build a Chapel of Ease on the south side of the parish. Funds were duly raised.
1756: The Chapel of Ease opened. It accommodated 1200 people and cost £640 and 10 shillings.
1758: Proposal made to build a Charity Work-house for the parish. It was in Riding School Lane to the west of the Church. 84 people were there the first year and it was enlarged as the need arose.
1759: In this year, the draining of the Nor' Loch (Princes Street Gardens area) was begun.
1763: The Little Kirk's bell was hung in the Chapel of Ease.
1772: Sunday 27th September, the imminent collapse of the Church was feared. Tradesmen gave their verdict that it was beyond repair and should be replaced.
1773: Workmen, digging in the foundations of the pre-Reformation St Cuthbert's Church, found a leaden coffin containing bones and a leaden urn. They opened the urn and a fragrant smell issued forth. It was found to contain an embalmed human heart. This most likely belonged to a Crusader killed in the Holy Land because the custom was to send the embalmed heart home to the Crusader's family.
1775: 31st July, the new St Cuthbert's Church was opened. Unusually, it had no steeple or bell but was fitted with a sundial !
1789: A steeple was added to the tower of 1775.
Ninteenth Century
1822: Parish population in the southern division was recorded as 20,250 and half of them had no place of worship. The northern division situation was similar and so the Kirk Session resolved to build two more Chapels of Ease.
1823: Stockbridge Chapel opened. This later became part of Kirk O' Field.
1824: Hope Park Chapel in Clerk Street opened. This is now the Queen's Hall.
1831: An existing Chapel in Gardiner's Crescent bought for £2,500. It was named St David's out of respect for Dr David Dickson, the senior Minister at St Cuthbert's, and it served a local population of 2000. As the number of parish residents increased, many new churches were formed as Chapels of Ease.
1837: The Charity Work-house now had 539 people working at various trades. There was a school attached for nearly 200 pauper children and also a sewing school. Out-of-door poor also received payments.
1867: Charity Work-house removed when the Caledonian Railway was built.The poor were taken to a mansion about a mile and a half from St Cuthbert's. This building is now the oldest part of the Western General Hospital
1883: At this time, Dr James MacGregor was the Minister, respected and loved by his congregation. His colleague, Andrew Wallace Williamson, was a "prodigy" of 26 years old. The two men were of different generations and tastes. One was a Highlander and the other a Lowlander; one full of humour, the other serious and solemn but together "they pedalled the bike of St Cuthbert's for 27 years and remained friendly".
1893: Both men later became Moderators of the General Assembly. They created an immense and lively congregation which threw itself into the project of a new Church building. Parish population recorded as 65,243.
1894: 11th July. Day of dedication for the new Church. The architect was Mr Hippolyte J. Blanc. His building retained the 1775 tower and the 1789 steeple. Mr Blanc's Church building is the present day Parish Church of St Cuthbert, the 'Kirk below the Castle'. He was also the architect responsible for the designs used during the 1887-91 renovation of Edinburgh Castle's Great Hall.
Twentieth Century and Beyond
1906: An alabaster frieze, representing Leonardo da Vinci's 'Last Supper', was erected in the Apse. The minister of the time, Rev Dr James MacGregor, had to defend the beauty of the Apse and its decorations against some who thought it too richly adorned.
1908: The Font was installed. The mother and child sculpture set on the middle raised considerable controversy because some considered it a representation of the Madonna and Child.
1912: As reported in 'The Scotsman' newspaper of 31st July, the Font sculpture issue was discussed at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It became something of a national issue, the pros and cons debated from the theological and aesthetic viewpoints both in committee and in the press!
1928: The internal fabric of the church was redecorated and the church organ was restored.
1942: On 15th November the church bells rang out to celebrate the victory at El Alamein (site of the decisive British battle in the North Africa campaign). They were broadcast with bells from across the UK. Up until then, the bell clappers had been 'tied' for three years because of the war.
1956-57: The church organ was completely re-designed and rebuilt, with a number of tonal additions. It was dedicated on Palm Sunday 1957 by the Very Reverend Charles L. Warr, Dean of the Chapel Royal and the Order of the Thistle, the opening recital being given by W. O. Minay.
1988: St Cuthbert's 'The Kirk below the Castle' Exhibition was held. The Change-ringers rang the church bells for 3 hours on Saturday 28th May as the Exhibition drew to a close.
1989-91: The church interior was altered to the design of Stewart Tod & Partners, Architects of Edinburgh to provide hall accommodation on two floors. The new west wall was given splendid plasterwork to match the existing interior of the church.
1994: Centenary year of the present church building, believed to be the 7th on the site. As part of the celebrations, a booklet was published telling the story of St Cuthbert's Church and Parish. Much research had already been skillfully carried out by Congregation members and friends for the 1988 Exhibition, and this was built upon for the booklet (references).
1997-98: Thanks to generous bequests from Elders John Shepherd and Janet Lusk, the organ was extensively restored, reconstructed and improved upon. Care was taken to retain the romantic tonal qualities of the instrument and the original organ cases were retained.
1999: St Cuthbert's Church first web site developed.

Corvara, 2 February 2019 – On Saturday evening the first winners were determined at the Ice Climbing World Cup in Corvara. In the Speed category Russians Anton Nemov and Ekaterina Feoktistova celebrated the stage victory. Thus the Russians continued to dominate in this discipline at the foot of the snow-covered Passo Rombo. The most challenging artificial ice climbing facility in the world also hosted the qualification in the Lead category. The finals will take place on Sunday.
When the World Cup ice climbing challenge is about climbing the 15.50 meter high vertical ice wall as fast as possible, it is clear that the Russian national anthem can be prepared for the subsequent award ceremony.For years, athletes from the geographically largest country in the world have been comprehensively dominating this discipline. This was no different on Saturday in Corvara. Four Russian athletes each qualified for the semi-finals in both the men's and women's race.
The big favourite among the men was Anton Nemov, who is ahead in the speed ranking. He fulfilled his promise. At first, Nemov beat Vladimir Kartashev in the semi-finals. In the final he lost 0.07 seconds against his compatriot Anton Sukharev in the first run, but made a come-back in the re-run and eventually won the stage victory. Third place went to Nikolai Kuzovlev, the reigning World Champion in the Combination and leader in the Lead World Cup.
The women's competition was won by Ekaterina Feoktistova. She won the duel against Combination World Champion Maria Tolokonina in the semi-finals and the final run against Valeriia Bogdan. The ice tower in Corvara suits Feoktistova from Russia, who in 2017 already won the South Tyrolean World Cup stage in Speed climbing and who finished second in 2015 and 2018. The final place on the podium in this year's Speed competition went to Ekaterina Koshcheeva, who is first in the discipline ranking and who will continue to wear the yellow jersey.
Although there had been plenty of fresh snow on Friday night in Corvara – an in the whole of South Tyrol – the competitions in the ice climbing Mecca in Val Passiria started on time. Before the Speed competition, the qualification in the Lead category, the supreme discipline, took place early in the morning. Among the men only last year's winner Mohammadreza Safdarian Korouyeh (Iran) and Aleksei Marshalov from Russia reached the top in both runs. Among the women, a total of eight athletes achieved this feat: Koreans Woonseon Shin and Han Na Rai Song, Russians Maryam Filippova and Maria Tolokonina, Sina Götz and Vivien Labarile from Switzerland, Eimir McSwiggan from Ireland, and Enni Bertling from Finland.
A total of 18 ice climbers qualified for the semi-finals, which will take place on Sunday morning from 8:15 am. The final starts at 1:00 pm.
Those who cannot make it to Corvara can experience the ice climbing World Cup live. The international association UIAA and the organisers offer a high-quality live stream on the official UIAA YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/uiaabern) and on the Eisturm Rabenstein website (www.eisklettern.it).

She runs marathons, reads at rapid speed, and has devoured the New York Times in a more literal way than one might expect. Welcome to the wonderful Linda Romano, Agave Magazine's new Contributing Editor: Literature.
AGAVE MAGAZINE: You've been reading Agave Magazine from the very first issue. What made you want to join the team?
LINDA ROMANO: Quite simply, because it's beautiful. The visual impact of the cover attracted me and what was inside was equally stunning. I also do so much writing, reading, and editing of marketing and sales content, and rarely get to immerse myself in literature and creative writing. Being involved in Agave was exciting to me because it's like a literary sorbet that cleanses my palate. Now that I'm involved, I see that the beauty I was initially attracted to reflects the entire Agave process — the way everyone comes together to create a beautiful finished product is inspiring to me.
What do you think makes a piece of literature special?
When it makes you feel something — anything. Even if it's a feeling that doesn't quite sit right or is uncomfortable. Anything that stops you in your tracks, causes a disruption to your equilibrium, that's the literary sweet spot for me.
What books or poems could you read over and over again?
Truth & Beauty and Bel Canto (both by Ann Patchett), The Art of Fielding, Unaccustomed Earth, Four Quartets, Dry Loaf, The Aeneid, Gulls.
What do you hope to bring to Agave Magazine?
Enthusiasm, a love of writing, social media savvy, and the ability to read exceptionally quickly!
What advice would you like to give writers who are thinking of submitting work to Agave Magazine?
Before you hit "submit," try editing your piece by taking out what you would consider to be the "best" part of it. I got that advice from a writing teacher once, and it completely repelled me at first. But she was right, because that exercise reveals the core, the foundation of your work and if the foundation is strong, the piece will withstand such a severe edit. You can put it back if you want to, but at least try the exercise; it will teach you something about what you've written that regular reads/edits/critiques can't.
Register to give out books on World Book Night here.
Every year across the UK and Ireland, The Reading Agency celebrates UNESCO's International Day of the Book with World Book Night, in which volunteers give out books to individuals who do not read for pleasure or own books.
While Nikesh Shula praised World Book Night and its efforts to include a range of different genres, he also criticised its list for being completely homogenous in terms of minorities: it does not contain even a single Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic writer. While bringing people closer to the wonderful world of books is a laudable initiative, failing to offer diversity of genres or authors falls short of swinging the door open to a lifetime of reading for the 36% of the UK who aren't inspired to read regularly.
The good news is, this was not a thoughtless oversight on the part of World Book Night. As project manager Rose Goddard explained, she and her colleagues "have been struggling" with the issue, and "[i]t is with great shame, and with huge regret" that there are no books by BAME authors on the list this year.
The bad news is that the homogeneity of the list is the result of a pervasive lack of diversity in the UK's publishing industry, as recently documented by Spread the Word. This will require much more work than simply tacking some names on a list, but Spread the Word has some recommendations for a diverse workforce within a decade, including banning unpaid internships, forging strategic partnerships, and learning from best practice within the media industry.
World Book Night also has a plea: "Let's keep talking and work together to make [diversity in the publishing industry] happen."

Watching the cow at calving. What for?
The body condition of cows at calving time we can provide valuable information to prevent reproductive failure in the rodeo and thus increase the number of calves per year.
Most of these failures can be associated with poor nutrition. If the wombs do not have adequate body reserves amount, most likely will not come into heat energy because they will have to keep the fetus in the future.
Body condition at the time of delivery is closely related to the time it takes the cow to come into heat after calving. It is also a health index that will take the calf and the amount of milk your mother can provide.
It is important to ensure the nutrition during the 50-60 days before calving. But basically give us very good information about the rodeo is ready for the next service.
With this in mind we can take steps to improve the nutritional status of the cows, depending on your needs. This process, which has very low cost and even in some cases to save money on supplementation, will allow us to improve the pregnancy rate in the future and therefore have more calves. Course, requires monitoring and acting on time and orderly.
Do you also for the service have to watch the cows?
Yes, because the body condition at this point will tell us what is going to impregnate cows and what not. Also at this time we will be able to make decisions that reduce unnecessary costs.
What about Body Condition Weaning?
Not the wisest use this observation at weaning, because it is very likely to give much milk cows have mobilized many nutrients from your body, but in turn gave larger calves and probably have a higher maternal ability. That's why we can be misleading to make us take action unwise.


When I set out to create my central protagonist, I wanted to put little bits of all my favorite characters — Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Tenjou Utena, and Elphaba — into the character. She's tough, headstrong, and determined. She's naive sometimes, but she has a plan (even a bad plan) and she's sticking to it. Her design is also very strongly influenced by two priestly characters I played, one Serenity character (whose name escapes me at the moment), and my D&D cleric Elric Darme.
Edit: Here's what I wrote about the Shepherd, one of the characters I played who influenced the character of Elysia.


While the United States currently has a substantial debt, it does not face the risk of default due to insolvency. The U.S. is a unique country given its outsized military power and economic strength, which makes it difficult to draw conclusions about its debt based purely on economic analyses of other countries. However, the U.S. will experience consequences if its debt burden continues to grow.
Interest expense will grow as the debt grows, and interest expense has a more immediate impact on government finances than the total debt size.
There are several components to consider regarding both debt and the U.S. federal budget, some of which are easier to change than others.
There is an inverse relationship between interest expense and discretionary spending; since mandatory spending is politically difficult to change, increases in interest expense will put pressure on the discretionary budget – and, therefore, the defense budget.


Sometimes progress seems to happen very slowly…and then all at once. Such is the case with treatments for the potentially lethal hepatitis C virus.
For years, Americans with hepatitis C suffered through grueling therapies requiring as many as 18 pills a day, as well as injections of the medication interferon, known for dreadful side effects such as extreme fatigue, rashes, muscle aches, anemia, anxiety and depression. During this time, hepatitis C killed more Americans than any other infectious disease.
A new era: The dismal track record for hepatitis C therapies began reversing five or so years ago with a variety of much more effective antiviral medications…but with a catch. The first-generation antivirals were genotype specific, which means different treatment regimens were required depending on the specific genotype of the patient's infection. Hepatitis C genotypes are strains that represent the genetic variation of the virus. People can be infected with one of six major genotypes of hepatitis C, which include multiple subtypes of each genotype.
The first round of game-changing drugs treated genotypes 1 to 6. The first pill to treat all six genotypes of hepatitis C was FDA-approved in 2016. Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa) is a 12-week regimen for patients with or without cirrhosis.
The cure rate for the latest two drugs is about 98% in many populations. For the 2% who fail the first round of therapy, there is a three-medication antiviral combination of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (Vosevi), and this cures 96% of the remaining 2% who failed the first-line therapy. All told, this leaves only one in 1,000 hepatitis C patients uncured.
Along with the new medications, there's no longer a need for needle biopsy. Doctors have traditionally relied on a liver biopsy, which involves extracting a small piece of tissue with a needle, to determine the extent of a hepatitis C patient's liver damage. Now the FibroScan, a painless, noninvasive test that measures the amount of liver scarring, is the preferred way to determine the presence or absence of cirrhosis. If your doctor does not advise FibroScan testing, ask for it! Insurance typically covers the cost.
Hepatitis C patients who have liver cirrhosis before successful treatment are at higher risk of developing liver cancer, as cirrhosis is a risk factor for cancer. If you have cirrhosis, you should receive twice-yearly screening via a blood test and ultrasound. The extra caution is well worth it, since small liver tumors can be removed surgically, treated locally or with a liver transplant, while large cancers tend to be life-threatening.
Hepatitis C is often present for decades before symptoms (such as fatigue, nausea and/or jaundice) or complications occur, suggesting a weakening liver or development of liver cancer. Speak to your doctor about testing for hepatitis C.
*Impressive cure rates can be achieved only if the treatment course is completed.
