Billy and Lucy Czunys, who bought their first home at Linden Homes' Home @ Heartlands development in Redruth, have welcomed their baby daughter into the world, who is now officially the youngest resident at the development!
Baby Erica was born on 19th September, two days early, at 6.30pm. She was delivered at Helston birthing centre and weighed a healthy seven pounds, 11 ounces.
First time buyers Billy and Lucy Czunys managed to buy their three bedroom house at Home @ Heartlands thanks to the Government's Help to Buy scheme. Billy, from Flushing, is an account manager for a stock brokers and his wife Lucy, 26, is a BT customer services advisor.
Billy, 29, said: "We've had quite a busy year – a new home and a new baby! We're absolutely delighted to have moved in time for Erica's arrival and it's fantastic to have a brand new home for her.
"The whole move has been such a fantastic experience for us - we bought our home off-plan, which enabled us to secure the plot we wanted early on and choose our kitchen.
Billy and Lucy were living in a rented one bedroom cottage in Penryn and were desperate to have a home of their own with their dog Memphis.
Billy added: "We were looking to get on the property ladder for ages and were interested in the Help to Buy scheme but didn't know much about it.
Available to existing homeowners and first time buyers, Help to Buy enables you to move with just a five per cent deposit, owning 100 per cent of the home but taking out just 75 per cent mortgage, with the remaining 20 per cent borrowed as a Government backed loan.
At Home @ Heartlands, the properties are being built to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4, which is much higher than average. This means the homes are more energy efficient and eco friendly which will have a positive impact on their energy bills and carbon footprint.
The homes are being built with increased levels of insulation and triple glazed windows to ensure heat loss is kept to a minimum. Each home is being fitted with a high efficiency boiler with pre-heater water supply, photovoltaic panels, plus smart metering and energy display devices so you can keep track of how much energy you're using. Energy efficient lighting and glazing will improve natural day-light and there is also a natural rainwater collection for garden use.
Currently available is a range of two bedroom apartments and three bedroom homes.
For more details visit the sales and marketing suite at Home @ Heartlands, 3 Fordh An Bal, Pool, Redruth, Cornwall, TR15 3SX, open daily from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively call 0844 644 9997.

Home Elections Uttar Pradesh Swami Prasad Maurya's son Ashok denies deal with Samajwadi Party; 'it is because of..'
Refuting claims of deal with the Samajwadi party, Swami Prasad Maurya's son Ashok on Tuesday said that the former BJP leader has never really bargained for tickets. Speaking to the media, Swami Prasad Maurya's son Ashok highlighted that the saffron party had given a ticket to him in the 2012 and the 2017 assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh and a ticket to his sister in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, but that was not because of Swami.
"It is because of the work of the Samajwadi Party that my father is switching to it, from the Bharatiya Janata Party. Samajwadi Party has always worked for the backward class," said Ashok, adding that a change is sure to be seen in the state.
Swami Prasad Maurya quits BJP, joins SP
In the resignation letter sent to the Governor, Swami Prasad Maurya wrote, "Sir, in the Cabinet of Hon'ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji, as the Minister of Labour, Employment and Coordination, I discharged my responsibilities with utmost attention in spite of adverse circumstances and different ideology. But I am resigning from the Cabinet of Uttar Pradesh due to the gross negligent attitude towards Dalits, backward classes, farmers, unemployed youth and small and medium enterprises traders"

Soon thereafter, Samajwadi Party congratulated and welcomed Swami. Taking to his official Twitter handle, party supremo Akhilesh Yadav wrote, "welcome to the popular leader Shri Swami Prasad Maurya Ji, who fought for social justice and equality and to all the other leaders, workers and supporters who came with him in SP! There will be a revolution in social justice. There will be a change in 2022."

In another tweet, Yadav said that this time all 'the oppressed, downtrodden, oppressed, neglected' will be united, and over BJP's 'exclusive' politics, there is going to be victory of Samajwadi Party's 'inclusive' politics.
इस बार सभी शोषितों, वंचितों, उत्पीड़ितों, उपेक्षितों का 'मेल' होगा और भाजपा की बाँटने व अपमान करनेवाली राजनीति के ख़िलाफ़ सपा की सबको सम्मान देनेवाली राजनीति का इंक़लाब होगा।
बाइस में सबके मेल मिलाप से सकारात्मक राजनीति का 'मेला होबे'!
भाजपा की ऐतिहासिक हार होगी!#भाजपा_ख़त्म

Join us next week, April 28th, for another free Kineo Insights webinar: Aligning eLearning with business goals.
Is your organization contemplating any of the following questions: Is our learning aligned with corporate priorities? Is it having the impact it should? How can we improve its impact?
Many organizations face challenges in getting learning and business goals aligned, and Kineo, the leader in learning solutions, is inviting training professionals to join a free webinar with industry experts to discuss what's worked for them.
Our free Kineo Insights Web Panel is on April 28th at 4pm UK time / 10am CST.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their learning challenges with the group and put questions to the panel in what will be a lively discussion on how to maximize the impact of learning.
Access to the webinar, and to My Kineo is free.
It sounds like an interesting webinar, and I'm signed up. It put me in mind of the Balanced Scorecard*, a framework advocating four perspectives on strategy and performance.
One of the perspectives is, of course, Financial. Perhaps this is what is meant by "Business Goals" in the title of the webinar?
Another perspective is Learning. So in BSC terms, learning has already arrived.
Of the other two perspectives, one relates to Customers, the other to Processes.
Anyway, that's one way - or four ways, one for each perspective - at looking at the webinar topic. I'm looking forward to seeing what else comes up.
* See balancedscorecard.org, among many other web sites, for a primer.

David Bowie unveils four tracks from The Next Day Extra,...
David Bowie unveils four tracks from The Next Day Extra, unveils micro-budget video for James Murphy's 'Love Is Lost' remix
News I 31.10.13 I by FACT
So, no Mercury for Bowie – but life, it appears, goes on.
Next week, David Bowie releases The Next Day Extra – a 3xCD collectors version of his 24th studio album, boasting five previously unheard tracks from the album sessions. Unheard no more, that is: four tracks from the set – 'Atomica', 'The Informer', 'Like A Rocket Man' and 'Born In A UFO' – have now been posted online. Scroll down to stream the offcuts.
Also included on the set is a remix of 'Love Is Lost' from James Murphy. Adding to the pre-release fanfare, Bowie has now released an eerie video for the track. The clip was supposedly filmed on home video camera and edited in Bowie's Manhattan office, resulting in a total production cost of $12.99 – the price of the USB used to upload the footage (pedants note: we're not sure who bankrolled all those puppets, then). Bowie was apparently struck with the idea last week, and has been working hell for leather to turn the video around in time for Monday morning. Again, cast your eyes below to watch (reminds us a bit of this one, incidentally).
Head here to read our rundown of James Murphy's deep cuts – 10 lesser-heard joints from across his long career.

Godwin Okafor
ACCRA – The price of shares in MTN's Ghana unit rose 4 percent to 0.78 cedis on its stock market debut on the Ghana bourse on Wednesday, traders and exchange managers said.
The Ghana unit of Africa's largest mobile telecoms group began trading 1.5 million shares on the local exchange after an initial public offering that yielded about a third of its initial 3.47 billion Ghanaian cedi ($734 million) target.

Belgium's purchase of US F-35 jets 'against European interests': Macron
PTI 26.10.18
PTI 1 min read
Bratislava, Oct 26 (AFP) Belgium's decision to buy US-made F-35 fighter jets instead of a rival European aircraft "strategically goes against European interests," French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday.
Belgium announced on Thursday it will purchase Lockheed Martin's stealth jets in a multi-billion-euro deal to replace its ageing fleet of F-16s in a blow to rival French aircraft maker Rafale.
"I regret this choice. This wasn't just the Rafale offer, it was also the Eurofighter, a real European offer," Macron told reporters in Bratislava.
"The decision is linked to a Belgian procedure, to the political constraints of the country, but strategically goes against European interests."
He said: "Europe must develop a real capacity for a European defence industry, in all the countries that believe in this venture." The F-35 ran against a bid from the Eurofighter Typhoon, developed by a European consortium that also comprises Italy's Finmeccanica and Airbus.
The Belgian government said it would buy 34 radar-evading F-35s to replace its F-16 jets, from 2023.
Prime Minister Charles Michel had attempted to ward off criticism saying Belgium was looking to both Europe and the US for its defence needs. (AFP) KUN KUN 10261952 NNNN.

Leading with Heart
April 21, 2016 By: Marie Pauley Category: SHH News
Leading with heart: Our Board of Directors
Second Harvest Heartland's Board of Directors is a dedicated group that volunteers many hours to oversee and implement our mission of ending hunger through community partnerships. We asked members of the Board of Directions Executive Committee a few questions about their involvement with the Board, and their passion for hunger relief.
How did you get involved with Second Harvest Heartland?
"My passion for Second Harvest Heartland's mission stems from my childhood, growing up on a farm in rural Minnesota. I believe we are uniquely positioned in this area of the nation to solve the hunger crisis and then help other parts of the country do the same," said Jamie Rice, Senior Vice President and Health Plan Operations and Chief Technology Officer of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
"My company did a pro bono assignment for Second Harvest Heartland in 2009. It was a fascinating introduction to a first-class hunger relief organization, and I joined the board shortly after that project," Peter Lawyer, Senior Partner and Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group, said.
In your opinion, what is the impact of Second Harvest Heartland's work in the community?
"Second Harvest Heartland is on the leading edge of new programs like food rescue, produce capture, and the critically important connection between food insecurity and health. Leadership from Second Harvest Heartland is dramatically improving the way we fight hunger in this community," Tom Butterfield, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at TCF Bank, said.
"Second Harvest Heartland harnesses a lot of creative energy and thought leadership around ending hunger. They're not only moving food, but they've moving the conversation along about hunger in general. They want to answer the question, 'How can we transform the process to end hunger?'" William McDonald, Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel and Secretary at Ceridian HCM, Inc., said.
Which of Second Harvest Heartland's strategic priorities excites you most, and why?
"The innovative work that we are doing with farmers and fresh produce. With the use of information technology and by creating a distribution network, Second Harvest Heartland is saving millions of pounds of produce and getting it to thousands of families who otherwise wouldn't be able to get fresh food," Chris Neugent, CEO and President of Post Consumer Brands, said.
"The direct connection we are making to health care, working with health care providers to ensure that nutritious, appropriately selected food is being provided to patients with health challenges. This could be one of the most important initiatives that Second Harvest Heartland has ever undertaken," Sara Gavin, President of Weber Shandwick North America, said.
Leading with values first: Second Harvest Heartland staff
Leadership isn't always about a big idea. Sometimes it's the small deed or gracious action that reveals the heart and mind of a leader. Second Harvest Heartland staff brings those activities to light by nominating colleagues who put our Vision and Values into action. Here are just a few of the more than 250 Vision and Values stories that celebrate staff leadership during the past year:
Jess Swanson, Volunteer Services
Jess's usual role is to manage volunteers. One day last summer, a couple came into Second Harvest Heartland West, and said, "We're hungry." Jess stopped everything to conduct quick research online and found three locations the couple could visit that day for food. Thanks to Jess, they had a meal that night and now know where to turn for help.
Willie Thomas, Production
Willie went out of his way to include a group of volunteers with special needs in a special project to pack rolled oats instead of their usual bag labeling activity. After careful instruction, the volunteers loved the more demanding project and even stayed late to finish up. Willie's patience and clear guidance made the day extra special for our volunteers.
Erin Anderson, Hunger Programs
Erin is continually looking for ways to reach seniors in need of a CSFP food box each month. Recently, Erin sent out 600+ postcards to seniors who are registered for the program but have not picked up food boxes for a few months. Within three days we had calls flooding in from individuals who wanted to restart the program!

Everybody wants to achieve a great and white smile because it could give you lots of benefits and advantages. Aside from the fact that it could improve the way your teeth look, it could also give you lots of self confidence and can make you look younger and more attractive. This is the main reason why teeth whitening procedures have become very popular.
There are lots of people who have tried many different types of tooth whitening procedures like the in house tooth whitening procedure that is performed by the Dentist inside his clinic and the tooth whitening home kits that you can get from your Dentist or from a drugstore near your place.
Aside from these methods, there are some more ways that are not commonly chosen by people but these are also effective in whitening the teeth.
One is the whitening mouthwash. These are mouthwash made specifically with ingredients that could help whiten your teeth. This is recommended for those whose teeth are just slightly discolored. You just have to use like a regular mouthwash you use to rinse your mouth.
Paint-on whitening products are also available in the market today. These products come with small brushes that resemble the brush of a nail polish. You will need a mirror that can give you a good and full view of your teeth when applying the product to make sure that you will be able to coat all the surface of your teeth for even bleaching.
You could also try some teeth whitening strips. These strips also contain bleaching agents and when you put it in your teeth, these agents will start working to whiten your teeth. Teeth whitening strips are small and handy so you can take them anywhere you'you go and you will not need many things to do the procedure like trays, gels, etc.
You could also try some teeth whitening methods that include ingredients that are natural and can easily be found inside your own kitchen.
You can mix baking soda with some salt and water and mix until they form a paste. Use it like you would an ordinary toothpaste but be gentle in brushing your teeth to avoid any damage.
You could also mix some vinegar with water and use it as a mouthwash to rinse your mouth. The acid in the vinegar will help remove any stain and discoloration.
Some fruits and vegetables can also help in whitening your teeth. Just by eating an apple a day, you could maintain the whiteness of your teeth and it could eliminate mild stains and discoloration.
It is also recommended to make eating celery and carrots a habit. They are good stain remover and will make your teeth whiter in a short period of time.
Strawberries are believed to cause stains but that is not true. They actually contain substance that could fight stains and discoloration in teeth. These fruits are used especially in Sweden as great teeth whiteners.
There are many ways you could try to whiten your teeth and you don't have to spend hundreds or even thousand of dollars just to achieve that bright and radiant smile.


Paul Madonna's new book, Close Enough For The Angels, isn't a graphic novel or a compilation of comics like his bestselling series All Over Coffee, which ran in the Chronicle for 12 years.
In creating a story within a story—the main character, Emit Hopper, draws the images, and it is left to readers to discover why—Madonna crafted a narrative that spans two very different places: San Francisco and Thailand.
While the book contains original drawings, it's also a narrative spanning more than 400+ pages and a novel in its own right.
First pages of Close Enough For The Angels.
Madonna's career began as a fine arts student in Pennsylvania, and soon after he became the first intern in the history of Mad Magazine in New York City.
As a child, he described himself as someone with an insatiable interest in comics. "It was a joke in my family because I read newspaper comics fanatically," he said. "If there was a newspaper in the room, I demanded the comics section."
But his interest in comics wasn't defined by mainstream superhero stories; he loved the underground comics coming out of New York and San Francisco between the 70s and 80s, autobiographical works that were simply artists telling their stories.
He arrived in San Francisco in 1994, and over the years spent time as a gallery artist and illustrator in his former Mission apartment and studio on Guerrero Street.
When he was ultimately evicted, the experience informed his book On to the Next Dream. Madonna now lives and works in an apartment in the Excelsior.
For his newest work, Madonna oversaw the tiniest details—from the feel of the book in a reader's hands, the layout of the book, and the India-inked drawings— to make it feel like a kids book for adults, something which has all the magic and pull of child's story but with more mature content.
Inside Close Enough For The Angels.
Madonna isn't just redefining a genre, he's also keenly aware of its history.
After he first visited Southeast Asia in 1999, Madonna vowed to return and work on a project inspired by the region.
He spent the past five years traveling back and forth and began the majority of his drawings onsite, later finishing them in his Excelsior studio or in one of his many favorite local hangouts, including the Mechanics' Institute Library and Mission Pie.
Madonna sketching in Pai, Thailand.
While the book's illustrations prominently feature Southeast Asian landscapes, the narrator lives primarily in California, at first in LA, and later in San Francisco.
Readers follow him around many well-known neighborhoods and landmarks: all the way up to the Transamerica Pyramid, down into BART, or famous venues like The Palace Hotel.
Part of the book's charm is in its familiarity for San Francisco residents. The main character owns the top floor of a three-story Edwardian on Guerrero Street and operates the laundromat on the ground floor.
A two-page drawing of banana leaves.
Although the book releases this Friday, Madonna has already begun work on a second Emit Hopper novel.
"As I was finishing this one up, I realized I knew what the next story was," he says,"I was in Hong Kong, and I took a week and wrote the bones of it down. I think I can do a couple books in this vein. My hope is to do three."
Before the story continues, fans of Madonna's work can look forward to a solo exhibit opening July 2018 at the Legion of Honor.
The exhibit will feature drawings inspired by the art and architecture of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, as well as a deeper dive into Madonna's personal history as an artist arriving in San Francisco 23 years ago. A book of this work will be published at the same time by the de Young Museum.
To learn more about his new novel and celebrate its release, join Madonna at the Bindery this Friday. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase, and a full list of events related to his newest book can be found on his website.

Anime Review Presents – SAMURAI CHAMPLOO
Konnichiwa minna!
Has everyone been indulging liberally in anime while I was gone? Your oujo sama spends a lot of time watching anime and reading manga, and tends to get lost in those worlds – all for you! All so that I have recommendations that people will enjoy. Ready for what I have this week?
Samurai Champloo is an old anime, originally aired in 2004, and ever since it's debut continues to remain one of the classics in the field. Set in the 'Edo' period, the story is centered around Fuu, a 15-year-old girl who works in her uncle's teahouse. A random series of encounters bring her together with two ronin – Jin and Mugen – whose lives she saves, only to insist they help her find 'the samurai who smells of sunflowers'. Though vague initially, the antics of the characters keep you sufficiently entertained, until just enough of the central plot is revealed to make you wonder what's going on.
Don't let the simple "samurai" tag fool you. Every episode has a surprise, coupled with the traditional badass sword fights. What makes Champloo different from your average Shogunate period, katana-wielding samurai anime is the characters. Jin partly plays up to the stereotype of the undefeated sword-master with a dark past. But Mugen is a different kettle of fish altogether. The definition of Samurai only barely applies to this rogue who – in addition to using his sword – bites, kicks and slaps his way through his enemies. And his enemies aren't always the bad guys. He itches to take on anything he comes across that may be remotely stronger than him. Mental? Absolutely.
The most startling factor is probably the inclusion of hip-hop in the series. The very first episode opens with an odd style of rapping which makes the viewer sit up and take notice. After that one comes across myriad references to rap, retro, graffiti and even Van Gogh! Perhaps in any other anime, or as part of another storyline these symbols might not have made sense, but they fit right into the madness that is Samurai Champloo.
My favourite part about the anime is undoubtedly it's soundtrack. With every track beautifully executed, there are some fantastic hip-hop numbers on the album,in addition to the usual and typical anime style themes. Within a few episodes, you'll be left scrambling to find the whole soundtrack and listen to it in one go.
Still not convinced? It's been directed by Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop and Animatrix fame. Do I see you nodding there? Now you see what I'm getting at. Give it a shot. You won't need more than the first episode to get hooked. And you'll find another jewel to add to your collection.
I shall be back next week, with yet another anime to recommend – meanwhile, have a look at our Mumbai Comic Con Express Updates! You don't wanna miss it!

Exploring the X-Men: Season Two
After a long hiatus, Marvel's favourite mutants returned to syndicated television for a season of another 13 episodes.
The Episodes here have better production values, the animation is improved significantly while the cohesiveness and integrity of the episodes – for some time – hits a low. Plenty of new characters are introduced here; practically every one except the ones featured in the theme song are first appearances. Also, old characters are brought back from the dead. Enough hints for everybody, and for those who didn't quite get it, or jumped on right now, read on.
Til Death Do Us Part, Parts 1 & 2
As seen in the end of the previous Season (see review here), Scott Summers and Jean Grey tie the knot. Anti mutant hysteria still prevails, aided by an organization calling themselves the 'Friends Of Humanity', led by Graydon Creed. Wolverine is in a bad mood, aggravated further by the wedding. Mysteriously, Morph who was supposed to have died in Episode 1, Night Of The Sentinels, Parts 1 & 2 is back amongst the living. But he hates the X-Men and blames them for leaving him behind. While Scott & Jean are on their honeymoon, Morph, using his powers creates havoc at the mansion, leaving Beast trapped in the Danger Room against a particularly nasty program, Jubilee alone in a branch of the Friends of Humanity; and Storm and Gambit injured, with Rogue having Gambit's powers. And finally the mastermind behind it all, and the architect of Morph's return is revealed to be a nasty being called Mr Sinister. Mr Sinister and his 'Nasty Boys' reach Scott & Jean and plan to use their child to further their evil ways. And for Professor X and Magneto, the troubles are just beginning. Their trek through the Savage Land beginning here would last the length of the season. In the Savage Land, both mutants lose their powers while Professor X regains the use of his legs, suggesting this has something to do with his powers.
Storm's godson, Missionary has been enthralled by the Shadow King and he wants Storm. Rogue and Storm face the Shadow King on the astral plane, while in the land of the living, Wolverine continues tracking Morph, resulting in an epic confrontation. Though the Shadow King appears for the first time, Rogue behaves as though Professor X has taken on him before.
Colossus comes to the mansion to seek the help of the X-Men against Omega Red; a living weapon who has been revived recently and wants to unite the territories of the Soviet Union, through war and fire. Jubilee and Colossus set out for Russia, with Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men in tow. Wolverine knows Omega from before but by now, the whole concept of Super Soldier weapons seems too cliché.
A summons from Heather, one in a long line of Wolverine sweethearts brings him to Canada where he faces Alpha Flight and realizes that the summons is actually from Vindicator and General Chasen who want to re create Weapon X. First appearance of Alpha Flight. Wolverine's past, after the Adamantium bonding is made clearer here.
X-Ternally Yours
And finally, Gambit gets the spotlight. The kidnapping of his brother brings Gambit back to his hometown as the Guilds of Thieves and Assassins get ready for the renewal of their pact with the Externer. This has to be the most inexplicable episode of the season, with no background information on the Externer and her powers (she took on all of the X-Men) and what the hell is in those yellow boxes that is so important? Then again, I haven't yet reached the parts in the comics where Gambit joins the X-Men so it might be clearer there; but as part of a show audience who came here only to watch the exploits on television, I'm very dissapointed with this episode.
Time Fugitives, Parts 1 & 2
The animated series' take on the Legacy Virus. Cable's present is changing (the future to us) and the only way he can keep it as it is involves sabotaging Bishop's mission to the past. In the X-Men's present, a new virus is being propagated by Graydon Creed and Apocalypse, which infects only mutants. Bishop arrives in time to stop them, but Cable's mission involves stopping them, and indirectly aiding Apocalypse. Cable, Forge, Bishop and Apocalypse all return in this two parter; which, story as well as animation wise, is a one parter screened again with subtle differences.
A Rogue's Tale
Rogue is plagued with visions of a flying girl. On deeper exploring, she remembers events from her past with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants when Mystique had forced her to absorb Ms Marvel's (Carol Danver's) powers permanently, leaving her a vegetable. Rogue being an enemy agent before joining the X-Men is touched on; albeit briefly.
Beast starts having feelings for Carlie, whose blindness he succeeds in curing but Anti mutant hysteria and the Friends of Humanity won't let him near her. Meanwhile, Logan infiltrates the Friends of Humanity headquarters and finds that Graydon Creed is actually related to someone he knows. A somewhat tender episode, amidst more serious concerns.
Mojovision
Mojo is a televison corporation honcho from another dimension. He needs variety on his programming and so he kidnaps the X-Men to perform. Personally, Mojo is my least favourite character from the series.
Reunion, Parts 1 & 2
The Season finale provides for an explanation of sorts. It is a reunion – of Professor X and Magneto with the rest of the team, also of Mr Sinister and his nasty boys with the X-Men as they all gather in the Savage Land with Ka Zar for a final, epic confrontation.
My picks of the season:
Overall, the second season was an improvement to the first with a more cohesive storyline (the Savage Land running story), better animation, character pieces (Storm, Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Beast) and other than a few blemishes (Mojovision, X-Ternally yours), perfect. It also reiterated the comics concept, 'Dead isn't dead'. But more on that in Season 3, when we reach new characters, new heights and all round epic awesomeness! Stay tuned!

The Itch You Can't Scratch – A Re-review
After the Comic Con 2010 ended, we were all on a high. My cousin had won a bundle of free comic as the 2nd prize, and he had left the entire thing at my place for me to consume. For all you foreign readers – It is an age old custom in India that whatever a younger brother wins, he has to share it with his elder brother. For reference, read the wiki about Draupadi. Yes. It is true. That is what we still do in India :P. For the non-American foreign readers, well, it's just this arrangement between my cousin and I. He is the keeper, so I read and then he takes them, reads them and archives them. I am a mess and nothing stays safe with me.
Anyway, I digress. Among the lot, the first book I started reading The Itch You Can't Scratch by Sumit Kumar (one of the writers for Savita Bhabhi, which was ONE of the reasons I picked this one up first) and I must say, it turned out to be a pretty interesting read, contrary to all my apprehension.
Main Cover: The itch you can't scratch
People who claim to have the so-called Indian Values embedded in their spine and those who think sex is a taboo and so is speaking openly about your family and friends… well… You better stay away from this book; it's definitely not for the likes of you. Seriously! Run away. Hush. Shoo, go watch some lowly reality Television show to satisfy that pervert voyeur within you or something, nothing here to interest you. GO! NOW!
Now that the Cult of Ekta Kapoor has vamoosed the hell out of here, let's continue with the review.
Inside cover
It is a book / comic / er… graphic … novel (??), if you may, which describes the life of one Sumit Kumar, born in a middle class family, his father working with SBI making him move a lot because of the transferable nature of the job and with him going through various changes in life, getting stuck in unfortunate and sometimes idiotic and totally dumb situations, trying to get a hold of his life, trying to live up to his personal expectations, trying to materialize his dreams of having a "creative career", getting stung en route, getting wiser, better and finally like any good old Boy Scout Superheroes, He conquers all hurdles to ultimately live his dreams. Well, the dry ones at least. (I am guessing that all the wet ones were utilized for those 3 scripts for Savita Bhabhi)
Personally I loved the content of the book (despite the crappy art, which I kindda liked, but that's mainly because I can't draw to safe my life from a homosexual orgy. The real artists might have a different opinion)
The book is shocking, revealing, funny and totally understandable. It is witty, crude, bitching, abusive, gross, revealing, genius, pathetic and crazy in parts. If I have to use only one adjective– It feels Familiar.
It's one of those books which ANY average North Indian male, born in the 80s can associate with. The life with your typical family, stress on education, especially on becoming an Engineer or a Doctor preparing for IIT, MBBS, IIM, IAS, patronizing attitude of all adults – is all too familiar to me and everyone else who has had the pleasure and torture of growing up in a quintessential Indian Middle Class family.
It's like those Beatles songs, which every teenager in love thinks was written specifically keeping him in mind. To use an example closer to home, it's like Pehla Nasha from Jo Jita Wohi Sikander. Every High School kid in love thinks that the love he is feeling now is the one! That's it. Nothing will ever top it – Until the next love or better still, sex comes along- and that this song was composed totally for him and no one else but him!
You can see the authors' attempt at some honest humor coupled with the bittersweet symphony of the pain entwined with that humor, his success in achieving it, his honesty, his references, his lousy attempts to hide those references all too clearly in this 178 page bundle of fun.
His-story in the making? Sumit Kumar bares it all… (Click image to view full size)
Once I started it, I could not put it down. It reminded me a little of Douglas Adams and Peter Cook and Monty Python and Eddie Izzard for some reason. It has a very non-indian sense of humor (more towards British Humor) despite being an out and out Indian book, complete with grammatical errors (most of them deliberate), a complete potpourri of Hindi, English and part Rajasthani, with fake edits, numerous errors and all that jazz. The forecomic (sic) part is brilliant.
The characters are full of life, so –so familiar, you can instantly associate with them. A Chacha, who was a bitter drunk, another relation who died poor, a matriarch who holds the reins of the family tightly and firmly, the references are countless!
After Savita Bhabhi, I had very high expectations from Sumit Kumar, and he certainly lived upto them by delivering this gem of a book, which every Middle Class Indian fanboy should own. It is worth the price. I have already read it twice, once in its entirety and the second time – in part – some bits which I liked a little more than the other bits.
To be fair, I didn't buy the book, I got it as a part of the prize goodie bag for the Cosplay on Day 1 that my cousin (the Wolverine) won, but I'm going to order one for myself too. I would like to keep one copy for myself.
If you like humor, if you want to seriously enjoy 178 pages of brilliance and craziness all rolled into one, go buy The Itch You Can't Scratch!
Let me finish by saying – He is indeed one of us!
He sure is… Or that's what we want him to believe…
As our good friends at DCP often say… Like It? Buy it!
'nuff said!

Animated Reviews : Young Justice (Episodes 1 & 2)
Young Justice – Independence Day
Episodes 1 & 2
-Review By Manks
Teen sidekicks (Robin/Speedy/Kid Flash/Aqua lad) are invited to the hall of justice thinking they would officially become part of the big league! But soon they realize they still aren't trusted by the league completely yet. Once the League is away, the teenage sidekicks find a mission of their own rebelling against the orders of the JLA and start investigating the fire that broke out at Cadmus, where they find more than they bargained for – mind controlling Genomorphs and a clone of Superman calling himself Superboy.
Comments:-
This series is in Dc comics continuity, based on a parallel earth – Earth 16 (if you are a reader of DC comics , you would understand what this means, else just let it go.), where superheroes are still a recent phenomenon.
PAD's Young Justice
If you thought that this is going to mirror Teen Titans that came out a few years ago on a similar premise you are wrong. Unlike Teen Titans this series has a serious tone to it from the get go. Needless to say the cast of characters is quite different. Its more current Teen Titans cast (which itself started out as the excellent comic series Young Justice by PAD)
What I liked?
– The animation and voice work is top notch. I couldn't find anything to complain about here
– Characters stayed true to their established demeanor. Robin is witty, Kid flash is chirpy and Speedy sulks
– Aqualad: Has to be the breakout character for me. This is a new avatar of aqualad created especially for the show ( which Goeff Johns liked so much that he introduced the new aqualad in DC universe proper in one of his issues of Brightest Day).
– I am one of those who liked the entire Superman death and return saga. Superboy was my favourite character during that period. So reference to Cadmus and seeing Superboy breakout again (although not quite in the same cavalier manner) was great fun. I wanted Superboy to shout his signature "Don't ever call me Superboy", but this Kon-El is a little serious for that.
-Gaurdian! They used the Gaurdian. About time for Mr. Harper to get into the animated action scene
– There is going to be an over-arching plot to the entire series. This will keep the mystery alive and make me want to come back, even if to see whether my suspicions were correct
– Finally , they are using the name Young Justice, which is one of my all time favourite comic series. I only wish it was an adaptation of the same comic, but alas, you cant have everything!
What I did not like?
– You could see the story beats from miles away, hence it wouldnt be amiss to say it was a little predictable.
– I couldn't exactly fathom the reaction of Superman when he meets superboy for the first time. Maybe it's just me, but I would expect Supes to react a little more warmly.
– No Speedy when it came to action time! I Kept expecting speedy to jump in any moment.So I guess in a way, Young Justice did surprise me. I think he just might turn up as Arsenal. We will see..
– I personally would have liked a little more humor in this animated show. Its Young Justice not JLA. Fun and humor should come naturally to teens.
– I found it a little weird that there weren't many people in Cadmus. There were 52 sublevels but hardly any people..
Final word:
I say that the premiere episodes were a little predictable , but there are only a few ways a team can start, so I can let go of the unpredictability factor for this episode. What I am excited about is how speedy would return? I personally think he would come back as Arsenal., but then it wouldnt surprise me if he showed up turned to the darker side especially since the promo doesn't show speedy but arrowette. If that happens I would be a little dissapointed.
Despite its minor faults , its a worthy successor to DC animated Legacy. Time to follow the young guns of Dc universe once again.

Construction Begins on Meriel Marina Bay in Quincy, MA
(BOSTON) – Hines, the international real estate firm, and investment partner MetLife, held a groundbreaking ceremony today celebrating the start of construction on Meriel Marina Bay, a new multifamily complex in Quincy, MA.
Meriel Marina Bay will be situated on 5.83 acres of waterfront and will consist of two four-story apartment buildings with a total of 352 market-rate units, approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space and 500 parking spaces.
The development represents Hines' third for-rent residential project in the Boston area. Hines also has developed Currents on the Charles, a four-story multifamily development containing 200 units in Waltham, MA; and Fuse a six-story multifamily development containing 244 units in Cambridge, MA. This brings the firm's multifamily portfolio in Boston to over 795 units.
For MetLife, the development represents the company's fifth for-rent residential project in the Boston area that includes Lenox Farms in Braintree, Charles River Landing in Needham, Lodge at Foxborough in Foxborough and Lodge at Ames Pond in Tewkesbury. Meriel Marina Bay brings MetLife's multifamily portfolio in Boston to more than 1,650 units.

Hines is pleased to be able to respond to the significant demand for new, high-quality luxury housing in the Quincy area, and we are committed to delivering a superior product with Meriel Marina Bay," stated Hines Senior Managing Director David Perry.
The project will include a significant expansion of the boardwalk, as well as retail and dining offerings at Marina Bay. A waterfront pedestrian connection between the boardwalk and Squantum Point Park will also be created. The project will expand the shuttle service to the nearby North Quincy MBTA station and will have views across Dorchester Bay to downtown Boston, the Back Bay and the Seaport District.
Hines expects occupancy of the first units in spring of 2017.
In January 2011, Hines formed its Multifamily Division, with a focus to expand the firm's multifamily development activity throughout the U.S. by working with Hines' domestic regions on for-rent residential programs.

Back pain is a common issue for many people, and there are numerous causes for it. For example, someone might suffer from back pain because of a lack of movement or the way they sleep at night. Age also plays a huge factor in a variety of pains, especially those in the back. Lastly, several medical conditions are also known to cause both upper and lower back pain. Knowing and understanding your back pain can help you determine the best way to address it.
Without proper and regular stretching, you might find that even daily activities put significant strain on your back. For instance, if you lift something heavy and incorrectly you could feel your back muscles tighten or spasm. Likewise, sudden or awkward movements might do the same. To prevent and minimize strain, stretch regularly and correctly.
Ruptured disks. Small disks help to cushion the vertebra in your spine, and if one of them ruptures, the result is more pressure placed on the nerve, causing back pain.
Bulging disks. A bulging disk causes pressure to be put on nerves which can also cause back pain.
Sciatica. If a bulging or herniated disk puts pressure on a nerve, it can cause a sharp pain to shoot through the buttock and down the leg.
Arthritis. Arthritis can cause pain in the hips, back, and other joints. It can sometimes even cause spinal stenosis; a condition where the spinal cord narrows.
Abnormal curvature. Any abnormal curving in your spine will cause pain.
Osteoporosis. This causes bones to become brittle and can cause compression fractures to occur more often.
Kidney problems. Kidney stones or infections can also cause back pain.
Surprisingly, the way you sleep also impacts the way your back feels. Sleeping on your stomach puts pressure on joints and muscles, resulting in back pain. However, sleeping on your back keeps your spine elongated, and promotes better posture. When sleeping on your stomach, try sleeping with a pillow under your hips to help relieve pressure from disks. Additionally, sleeping on a medium mattress can help reduce the pain in your back regardless of your sleeping position.
There are many causes of back pain, and it's important to recognize the causes. If you are suffering from back pain, it is necessary to see a medical professional as soon as possible. Many conditions are severe and require immediate medical attention. If you or someone you know is suffering from back pain, contact Lake Pointe Chiro and speak with a specialist about finding a treatment option that is right for you. At Lake Pointe Chiro, we have everything you need to live a healthy and pain-free life.

Una mesa de operaciones o también llamada mesa quirúrgica, es la mesa en la que el paciente yace durante una operación quirúrgica. Este equipo generalmente se encuentra dentro del quirófano de un hospital.

Definición
Un sistema de mesas quirúrgicas está compuesto básicamente por tres componentes: una columna de mesas quirúrgicas, la parte superior de la mesa y el transportador. Los sistemas modernos de mesas quirúrgicas están disponibles tanto en unidades estacionarias como móviles. Hay una amplia gama partes superiores para mesas quirúrgicas que pueden usarse tanto para cirugía general como para disciplinas especializadas. Sin embargo, las tablas de operaciones móviles tienden a equiparse teniendo en cuenta una disciplina específica. La base, la columna y la mesa forman una unidad.

Dado que la columna de la mesa para un sistema estacionario está fuertemente anclada al piso, los dispositivos médicos complementarios que se requieran se pueden llevar fácilmente al área de operaciones y posicionarse.

Estos dispositivos incluyen, por ejemplo, equipos de rayos X, que pueden deslizarse fácilmente debajo de la parte superior de la mesa.

Para el personal, el sistema ofrece un mejor espacio para las piernas, ya que la geometría disruptiva del pie ya no está presente.

Los elementos adicionales pueden adaptarse a la mesa de operaciones. Esta flexibilidad es muy importante, ya que permite adaptar la mesa al paciente pertinente o a la disciplina quirúrgica.

La ventaja de la mesa de operaciones móvil, por otra parte, es que la posición de la mesa puede cambiarse dentro del quirófano. Sin embargo, el pie de la mesa limita el espacio de la pierna disponible para el personal quirúrgico.

Los segmentos individuales de la parte superior de la mesa se pueden quitar con facilidad y reemplazarse. También permiten los rayos X y conducen electricidad.

Otra característica especial del sistema de mesa de operaciones es la capacidad de utilizar módulos de interfaz adecuados para establecer comunicación con sistemas de diagnóstico, por ejemplo, angiografía, RM o TAC. Esto solo es posible con columnas estacionarias, ya que los sistemas requieren un punto fijo.

Propiedades y requisitos
Hay una serie de funciones básicas que cada mesa de operaciones debe cumplir para lograr los requisitos establecidos.

Por ejemplo, la altura de una mesa de operaciones debe poder ajustarse. Esta es la única forma en la que un cirujano puede adaptar la mesa a su altura y, por lo tanto, trabajar de manera ergonómica. Además, debe ser posible inclinar la mesa a ambos lados para garantizar una mejor visión general de las cavidades corporales o utilizar la gravedad para mover los órganos (por ejemplo, laparoscopia).

Además, los segmentos individuales de la mesa de operaciones también deben ser ajustables. Esta es la única manera de asegurar las extremidades del cuerpo y permitir que estas se posicionen de manera adecuada para operar. Otra propiedad de la mesa de operaciones es la radiolucencia. La superficie radiolúcida debe ser lo más grande posible para lograr la imagen más grande posible sin interrupción. El acolchado de la mesa también es importante, ya que debe ser suave y radiolúcido. Suave porque debe distribuir la presión de forma óptima, de lo contrario, el paciente puede sufrir úlceras debidas a la presión que pueden ser culpa del personal.

Comparación: Sistema de mesa de operaciones y mesa de operaciones móvil
El sistema de mesa de operaciones tiene varias ventajas. El transporte es más fácil, ya que esta unidad, generalmente, está firmemente asegurada al suelo y, por lo tanto, el pie y la columna de la unidad ya no necesitan ser transportados.

Además, el transportador tiene ruedecitas pequeñas y grandes que no solo ayudan al suelo, sino que toda el área operativa es más higiénica, ya que estas ruedecitas no están adheridas al sistema, como en una mesa de operaciones móvil. Estas son difíciles de limpiar y, por lo tanto, más antihigiénicas.

La columna de la mesa de operaciones se puede rotar 360° y deja espacio suficiente para los pies del equipo. La parte superior de la mesa es, gracias al uso de materiales de rayos X, casi completamente radiolúcida.

El cuadro operativo universal está disponible como unidades estacionarias, móviles y unidades movibles.

Sin embargo, la mesa de operaciones móvil se utiliza como una mesa especial. La parte superior de la mesa no se puede retirar ni reemplazar. La operación puede, según la versión, ser manual, pedal o motorizada.

Posiciones de la mesa de operaciones
Los pacientes pueden sufrir úlceras por la presión como resultado de acostarse incorrectamente sobre una mesa de operaciones o de tumbarse sobre una mesa de operaciones durante demasiado tiempo. El personal de enfermería y los médicos tratan de evitar que esto ocurra.

Las posiciones estándar típicas son, por ejemplo, de espaldas, de estómago, de costado, de Trendelenburg y posición de semisentado.

El paciente siempre debe posicionarse, o al menos intentarlo, de manera óptima en cooperación con el anestesista, el cirujano y el personal de quirófano. La decisión sobre la posición exacta del paciente debe decidirse antes de la operación. Esta decisión no solo tiene en cuenta el tipo de operación, sino también la edad, peso y salud del paciente con respecto al corazón, pulmones, circulación, metabolismo, problemas circulatorios, etc.

Ventajas de un sistema de mesa de operaciones
A diferencia de una mesa de operaciones móvil que normalmente se emplea en hospitales con departamentos de operaciones pequeños, por ejemplo, en salas de operaciones ambulantes, los sistemas modernos de mesa de operaciones se caracterizan por su gran movilidad. También tienen partes superiores diseñadas para una variedad de disciplinas quirúrgicas y, gracias a la posibilidad de cambiar esta parte superior, permiten usar el quirófano de forma versátil. Un sistema de mesa de operaciones con columna estacionaria es más estable y más higiénico. Las mejores opciones de transporte mejoran considerablemente el flujo del paciente desde la unidad de transferencia del paciente al el quirófano. Finalmente, los sistemas de mesa de operaciones con columnas estacionarias permiten integrar elementos de control en procedimientos de imagen, por ejemplo, angiografía, RM o TAC.

FAR EAST HEALTH PRACTICES GAIN POPULARITY
L.A. LOREK Business WriterSUN-SENTINEL
Got a headache? Take a ginseng root, some herbal tea and meditate an hour.
Today, more and more Americans are adopting some of the medical practices of the Far East to cure whatever ails them.
The Morikami Museum in Delray Beach on Wednesday held a two-hour seminar on alternative health care approaches of Japan, China and India. It's the second seminar Helene Buntman, the seminar's coordinator, has held on the subject this year and she plans to do another one in December because of the local strong interest on the subject.
The Asian medical philosophy involves commanding the mind to heal the body and it's catching on in the United States, Buntman said. Altogether, Americans last year spent $13.7 billion on alternative medicines such as massage, acupuncture, yoga and herbal remedies, according to the National Institutes of Health, based in Bethesda, Md.
Last year, the institute created the Office of Alternative Medicine to explore new treatments such as acupuncture, the Chinese art of sticking needles into the skin at specific points to cure pain and disease. This year, the office will finance about $2 million in research into new therapies.
"The mind, the body and spirit are connected," Buntman said. "This is the fundamental belief in Eastern philosophy."
Food and spices are also used to treat various ailments and for wellness, Buntman said. In Asia, ginseng root and bee pollen are often used for energy. Onions are good for older people because they help with blood circulation, Buntman said.
Eastern medicine is also an active "hands-on" experience. The group of 25 attending the Morikami seminar danced to foreign tunes, walked into each other's auras or space and held hands to share their energy. Through these exercises, they were able to experience some ways to heal the body through movement, meditation and touch, Buntman said.
"Healing is as much physical as it is mental," Buntman said.
Sam and Esther Korin of Boynton Beach attended the seminar to learn more about alternative ways of healing.
"We've been interested in alternative medicine and the philosophy," Sam Korin said. "We're not totally satisfied with Western medical concepts. But I'm a pragmatist. We came here to broaden our education about the spiritual and physical connection and medical concepts in different cultures."
Jean Leicht of Delray Beach uses alternative medicine as a complement to Western techniques.
"More and more people today are looking for alternatives," Leicht said.
Slyvie Greene of Delray Beach has taken up the practice of Tai Chi, a Chinese therapy that involves a set of slow-moving hand and leg exercises meant for relaxation.
"It really does release stress and relax the body," Greene said. "I'm for anything that can help the mind and body at the same time."
