Ramsbottom
Four arrested after man fell to death from roof in Ramsbottom
Worker Benjamin Jon Edge, 25, was helping to dismantle a metal structure in Ramsbottom in December last year, when he fell and suffered catastrophic head injuries.
Pete Bainbridge
Four men have been arrested after a young dad plunged to his death from a roof.
He was taken to Salford Royal Hospital but passed away soon after.
Ben's family paid tribute to a 'loved partner and father' who 'brought laughter and joy into the hearts of those he knew'.
He left behind a partner and three-year-old daughter.
Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched an investigation after the death and on Wednesday morning, June 3, detectives made four arrests.
Two men, aged 23 and 30, from Bury, were held on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Two more men, one aged 32, from Burnley, and one aged 35, from Ramsbottom, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
In a statement, Ben's family said: "Ben leaves behind a three year-old daughter, a loving mother and father, twin brother, and partner.
"Ben was taken from us in tragic circumstances aged only 25, and our family and all of his friends are totally grief stricken by his loss.
"We miss him so very, very much. He was a loving, caring son, twin brother and family man. Ben was a much loved partner and father and will always remain a huge part of everyone's lives.
"Ben was a very special person, kind and considerate. He had a beaming smile, a warm, friendly personality and his enthusiasm for life rubbed off on everyone he met. He brought laughter and joy into the hearts of those he knew.
"We are immensely proud of Ben, he was so talented. He was named an outstanding student by Myerscough College while gaining his National Diploma in Land-based Mechanisation and his skills in driving and designing machinery were recognised wherever he worked.
"Ben was fortunate to have many friends and will be remembered by them for his love of life and the special friendship and bond they shared.
"Ben's friends have shown maturity, kindness and compassion beyond their years and our family will be forever grateful that they continue to be a part of our lives and share in so many memories of a son we simply adored.
"Our family, friends and the whole community have been left in a state of disbelief by the loss of Ben, who has left behind so many broken hearts. Our lives will never be the same again.
"We are so grateful to Greater Manchester Police and all of our dear family and friends for their support during this incredibly difficult time."
Det Sgt Lawrence Dixon added: "The death of Ben has left his family and friends completely devastated.
"We are continuing to look into the circumstances that led up to Ben's death, so we can provide his family with the answers of exactly what happened on that day in December."

\section{Introduction}\label{sec:intro}
New generation space missions provide accurate detections of hybrid--type pulsations in a variety of different stars.
Recently, using the data of A stars from the {\it Kepler} Telescope,\cite{RefJ1} reported that six Am stars have been known in the  {\it Kepler} field showing $\delta$ Sct type pulsations.The star, KIC\,9204718 (HD\,176843, A3mF0) was first classified as an Am star by \cite{RefJ2}.
KIC\,9204718 was also listed as a marginal Am type star showing  $\delta$ Sct type pulsations to be a possible candidate of a contact binary system (\cite{RefJ3}).Since Am stars were known as a class of non-pulsating variables this new result makes them very important to test the new diffusion scenario regarding their location in the HR Diagram (\cite{RefJ4}) .

\section{ {\it Kepler} Photometry}\label{sec:sec-1}
The {\it Kepler} time--series of KIC\,9204718  were used to derive pulsational content.The frequencies were extracted from the Long Cadence data by using the software package {\tt SigSpeC} (\cite{RefJ5}). The light curve of KIC\, 9204718  is therefore dominated by two peaks with frequencies $f_{1}$= 0.11421 d$^{-1}$ and $f_{2}$= 0.024384 d$^{-1}$.
\section{Spectroscopic Observations}\label{sec:sec-2}
 Spectroscopic observations have been carried out with ESPERO-a new-commissioned fiber-fed echelle spectrograph attached to the 2-m RCC telescope of Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory. High dispersion spectroscopic data were used to extract the projected rotational velocity and atmospheric parameters.
\section{Conclusion}\label{sec:sec-3}
We have presented preliminary results of both
frequency and spectrum analysis of marginal Am
type star KIC\, 9204718 observed by the {\it Kepler}
satellite.The radial velocity measurements reveal not very significant variations (Table~\ref{tab:tab-1}). The radial velocity is changed in the framework of 5 km/s. A careful check of the obtained spectra does not show any signs of binarity (Figure~\ref{fig:fig-1}) In conclusion, more observations may enable us to identify at least some of modes and our present work will support in future asteroseismic studies of this star.

iPads for Everyone, Part 2
One of the ways in which we plan to offset the cost of a 1:1 deployment of iPads to our students is by acquiring content in a different way than copyrighted textbooks.
Right now, electronic versions of many traditional textbooks cost nearly the same as the paper version. That's because the textbook industry hasn't yet been transformed in the way the music industry has (see my prior article on this subject). Few people pay $20 for a music album any more - we got very tired of albums with maybe two decent songs and a bunch of mediocre stuff. Now we expect the option to buy music by the song, with only a few artists having the market power to demand that their songs be bundled in albums any more.
Will we see something similar with textbooks?
Ask most teachers, and they'll tell you that a significant fraction of the material in their current textbooks is never used. In some cases, there just isn't time to cover every chapter. In other cases, most but not all of the contents match our evolving curriculum. So the teachers use what fits, and have to find other sources for everything else.
An evolving practice is for teachers to assemble much of their material from sources other than textbooks. It may be modules available from online sources, or material written by inhouse staff. And of course teachers have been writing some of their own lesson material for years.
With iPads in the hands of every student, we have a lot more flexibility as to how to assemble course material. What doesn't make sense is for every school district in America to write their own materials for every subject.
What I think will develop is a network of content developers, some embedded within school districts but mostly independent, each specializing on various subjects, or courses, or even particular units within courses. For example, maybe Hilliard schools becomes known as an excellent producer of American History content, and we start selling that to school districts across the country. Maybe Worthington becomes the Trigonometry experts. Maybe Bexley specializes in 17th Century French Literature. A school district in Boston becomes the go-to source for Physics curriculum.
If folks like Prentice Hall, one of the major textbook publishers, are smart, they'll start to nurture and develop these independent content producers. And they'll find a way to package and sell content in a manner like iTunes, where a school district can download a math unit for a couple bucks per student.
The competition will drive content producers to figure out more and more powerful ways to present concepts, using the full audiovisual capabilities of devices like the iPad. We already see some of this with the Khan Academy material for teaching math and science.
I think we'll also see a kind of publishing standardization develop such that a course is say American History can be assembled from modules acquired from many sources without subjecting students and teachers to jarring and distracting differences between authors. That in turn will drive the device manufacturers to build more and more capability into their devices. And drive down the price.
In the process of getting stuff organized for the upcoming move of our household (still within the school district), I came across a document from my 9th grade year explaining to our parents why our school was arranging a three day trip to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Here's an excerpt:
Today, we desperately need more effective science instruction, for international competition is ever increasing. Our scientific and technical knowledge is increasing and changing at at such an accelerating rate, that to cram more facts into the heads of our children is certainly not the answer. Professional scientists tell us that 1/3 of what we are teaching today will be obsolete five years hence, and what replaces this knowledge has not yet been discovered.
I was in the 9th grade in 1968, forty-six years ago. Yet it's remarkable how much this educator's warning sounds like what we hear today. In those days, our personal calculating device was a slide rule, and we produced term papers on manual typewriters (footnotes were a pain!!). We had to find our information by actually going to a building called a library, looking through the card catalog (title, author, subject), checking out several promising books, searching those books for relevant information, and making dozens of note cards. "White-Out" was our best friend.
One of the casualties of our move is a set of very fine encyclopedias and a dictionary that my wife and I bought soon after we were married. Today, it's not worth making shelf space for these expensive books in our new, smaller home. Truthfully, we haven't cracked open one of these volumes for decades.
What does the future look like for today's 6th graders, the first of our students to be issued iPads? We haven't a clue. We know that they'll be expected to locate and synthesize vast amounts of information, and they won't need to be trained on the Dewey Decimal system to find it. They won't be competing with peers who are armed with facts, even though we marvel at Aaron Craft's ability to recite Pi to 60 places.
I remember a physics professor once saying that in our working lives, we wouldn't be expected to pull the differential equations of thermodynamics from our heads, but we'll need to have internalized that there has been a method developed for addressing such problems, so that when we encounter one we'll know it can be solved, and what resources to use to proceed.
That's the kind of knowledge we need to impart to our kids, whether we're talking about science and math, or philosophy and history. They need to be able to call on the great thinkers who came before them and add their own insight (a function of knowledge) and creativity to help solve problems that we today don't know exist. And as much as many like to poo-poo the value of a liberal arts education, teaching kids how to think and reason is just as important as teaching them a trade.
These iPads are both a instructional learning devices, and a portal for access to the incomprehensible amount of information out there. Will they hold up as state-of-the-art for long? No, of course not. The slide rule I mastered in high school was out of date and relegated to a drawer in my first couple of years of college. No one in my workplace used a slide rule - everyone had pocket calculators, expensive as they were.
But that doesn't mean my high school physics teacher shouldn't have taught us how to use a slide rule. In fact, I was at an advantage when I started engineering school at Ohio State - many of my classmates had never used one before.
Likewise, I have no doubt that the students of Hilliard City Schools will be advantaged by the incorporation of these devices into our methods for delivering instruction. Isn't that why most of us moved to Hilliard and continue to financially support our schools - so our kids will have a great start in life?

Paul, is that you? Are you feeling OK? I've always known you to support your positions with facts and reason. Now this, "Isn't that why most of us moved to Hilliard and continue to financially support our schools - so our kids will have a great start in life?" Is that a joke?
I've got to be straight with you. This entire article is nonsense. The foundation of a primary and secondary education have not changed in hundreds of years. I would argue the only change has been that it now serves a wider audience.
About the only thing that I agree with is that the technology can help provide a higher quality, more consistent educational experience. But that's only due to the dismal state of the education profession.
Just drawing from personal experience and using broad generalizations- By about 8th grade, I knew I had more intellectual capacity than all my teachers. In a district like Hilliard, I would guess this is true of the 70th percentile student and up. In college, it was widely acknowledged that education majors had one of the least rigorous programs. What's the expression- they know "how" to teach, but have nothing to teach. Now as an adult, my extended social circle includes several primary and secondary educators. Many of us curiously observe the arrested development the teachers display. It's just so obvious they've never worked in an adult, professional environment. To hear them discuss their students' behavior is true irony.
Please don't shoot the messenger......
Paul March 25, 2014 at 8:58 PM
I'll publish your comment, although I don't agree with your premise. The more time I spend in our classrooms, the more impressed I get with our team of teachers. Sure there's a bell curve, but I think our median is well above most districts. I'd suggest you get your volunteer badge and spend some time in our buildings - your perception might change.
One of my concerns these days is how we get out of the industrial assembly line model of education. One often hears educators complain that "we're aren't making widgets" - and they're right. But then why do we have a system that shoves kids through on an assembly line in age cohorts, like age is the best determinate of ability.
In my own case, my math comprehension was late coming on, but I was always ahead of my peers in science. And I never understood what the girls were talking about in English Literature class.
If we go back hundreds of years as you suggest, the notion of "grades" wasn't part of education - the few kids that got to go to school were in mixed age classrooms or had private tutors, and they progressed at the pace the teacher sensed they could handle. Or the kids just dropped out. There was no expectation that all kids should graduate from high school, and college was a true rarity - right up until WWII and the GI Bill.
I'm willing to take the bet that this move to iPads will have positive consequences, some in ways we've not even thought of yet.
Interesting that no one seems too worked up about the money being spent to refurbish the running tracks at Davidson and Darby...
T March 26, 2014 at 11:37 AM
Like I said, only drawing from personal experience, and none of that has been directly with the HCSD. And I respect that you spend your time in our buildings and also down on the west side. But I cannot use my leadership approach in an "official" capacity. And that's OK; it makes all the more effective to the kids who need it. With my criminal record, I'm not sure it's an option anyways (but with the gym teachers and bus drivers we hire, who knows).
I spend a lot of time with kids of different ages and backgrounds. With many of them, there is such an obvious need for strong male leadership. And they need it from someone who they can relate to, but also acts like an adult. That's why I've seen a lot of churchy-type volunteers struggle to be effective. They simply can't relate to the alcohol, drugs, violence, etc that some of these kids witness on a day to day basis, no matter how empathetic they think they are.
Just recently I was playing basketball with a group of 12-13 yo boys while being observed by an older, inactive, "liberal" (hate using this word, but you know the type), female, man-hating, do-gooder, volunteer type. She was aghast at my authoritarian approach, so she began to root for the kids to beat me. It clearly made the boys uncomfortable b/c they kept shooting my sideways glances and laughing at her. It was obvious to me that she was jealous she could never develop the sort of connection that comes naturally to me. In fact, she reported me for "bullying", without realizing that real bullying can only flourish in an environment that lacks the sort of presence like mine. It's a shame these days that strong male leadership is confused for "bullying".
But these games almost always go the same way. At first they laugh at the goofy old [sometimes "white"] dude. There's a clear us vs him attitude. Then I start beating them and talking trash then they get a little more serious. Inevitably they end up wearing me out and winning. And by the end we're all laughing and high-fiving. They begin to realize even people who look like me can be cool and understanding. And that's when the real leadership opportunities begin.
And I'm not referring to football coach or drill sergeant type leadership. I still get sick to my stomach thinking about the coaches and doctors administering cortisone shots into the knees of my teammates at halftime. Dublin has an athletic hall of fame (of which my wife is a member). It's definitely something to be proud of, but when I saw it I couldn't help but feel like they were re-writing history a bit. A lot of individual achievement on display, but when I was there, there was very little leadership, tradition, or camaraderie. I mean, I came from the same class as the coach who was convicted of "gloving" some freshman on the spring lacrosse trip. Those were the types of kids that the teachers and coaches brought back to be assistant coaches and "carry on the tradition". You'd stop me before I told you a tenth of the sick, perverted stuff that was generally accepted in that culture and the coaches turned a blind eye to, and in some cases encouraged.
I guess my only point is that there is no right and wrong in situations like this. Everyone has there own experiences to draw from. But oftentimes there isn't room for opinions like mine, no matter how valid, because it make people feel uncomfortable. perhaps these experiences shine a little light on why I have such little esteem for some educators.
I've deleted T's comment because it contained criticism of individuals. However, he made some points that deserve to be aired:
Paul, I also want to express my apologies for hijacking your forum here for a bit. And also to all of the excellent teachers that my comments do not apply to.
The district should be rightfully proud of the recognition teachers like Ginny Faulkner receive. But I'm always hyper-aware that there may also be [deleted]
That is why someone like me reacts so strongly to what I perceive as unconditional, emotional cheerleading on behalf of the district. There is so much of that going on that it squelches out any counter-balancing perspectives. Then people like me are forced to resort to using extreme arguments and turning up the volume and looking like the bad guy.
I feel like this is exactly what's going on with the iPad decision- a false consensus b/c no one wants to be the bad guy. Oftentimes it feel like reverse bullying, where going against the group is not permitted.
There is a scene in the moving Training Day where Denzel Washington explains to Ethan Hawke that "it takes a wolf to catch a wolf". Now, all wolves are dangerous, and no wolf can suppress his natural predatory instincts. But there are good wolves and bad wolves. And I'm only prey on the bad wolves...
I appreciate and respect you allowing my opinion...
I vote for a board to hire a leader and run the school. This ipad use is Dr M's approach to deal with making our youth ready for the future. If it works good if not we will see how it is addressed. There is risk with every program. This approach looks good to me. The big risk deals with teachers ability to use this innovative approach to the highest level. In business the use of new tech always leaves some behind. Will be see what happens to the teachers who fail to raise the bar in the use of tech? We will just see how that works.
I have the faith in our leader, period. He is the real deal and has a plan. I feel he believes in accountability starting with himself.
My issue is not where we are going, it is where we are starting from. Our past leader had a focus on brick and mortar our new leader tilts to learning.
I feel we have a new leader so let him lead us in a new levels of education.
T March 27, 2014 at 9:59 AM
Well I'm not sure that simply citing the name of the teacher (a 17 year district employee who had as far back as 1984 been accused of several sexual misconducts as a boy scouts volunteer) that was convicted of distributing child pornography or the janitor who was convicted of statutory rape amounts to criticism so much as just "stating the facts".
Paul, I hope you can respect the fact that I've been lurking around your comments section for almost five years now and although I've often been critical of the district, I have never taken the discourse in this direction before. There wasn't a need to. I've always considered you objective and more importantly thoughtful.
I have serious problem with any organization that lacks the leadership and controls to identify and terminate these sorts of individuals. I mean, if we cant even fire child abusers, I have zero confidence that any of our teachers are held accountable for being just "ineffective".
Buying iPads does nothing to fix that. And as someone who now has a $10k property tax bill, I'm saying enough is enough.
I expect to hear the self-promotion from the HEA; that's their job. And I believe this district does an excellent job for the vast majority of its students. But as a Board member, I expect more of you. It's a slap in the face to people like me who hear all the time about how great and perfect everything is. B/c there is also a segment of your constituency that disagrees and if often too intimidated/embarrassed/ashamed/weak to speak up for themselves. Those are the people who deserve representation.
Paul March 27, 2014 at 10:17 AM
T - I published your comment in its entirety except for the two names. I don't know those individuals, or anything about them, and won't let this blog become a forum for personal attacks.
I'm a life long computer geek, and so have a natural inclination to want to see devices like iPads show up in the classroom. But it also has to make economic sense to me, and in this case it does - there is no doubt that the days of paper textbooks are waning. I rarely buy a book on paper any more, preferring to have access to my growing library of ebooks via my Kindle, my iPhone, and my PC. If iPad minis had existed when I got my Kindle, that's what I have - as the iPad delivers tons more functionality than a first generation Kindle, which I rarely power up any more.
I also have a brother-in-law who is a highly respected public school superintendent in another state. I admire him greatly as both an educator and a fiscally conservative public official. It is from him that I've learned much about Apple's approach to the educational market. In a community of much lower income than ours, suffering the loss of a major industrial employer, they found compelling reasons to be rolling out iPads as well.
Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, had a great response when someone asked him if America was a good place any more. He said that it was his observation that more people were still trying to get in than to get out.
That seems to be the case in Hilliard as well.
We'll have to agree to disagree.
The cost offset is doubtful. The need, at this point, is highly questionable. The "plan" is non-existent. The uses are undefined. And the idea that the taxpayer should foot the bill is outrageous.
This will be one of those lightning rod issues that, once the voters are aware, will kill the next levy by itself. And we'll just be $3M further in the hole...

to check up on ours.
Straightaway, when you use this soap, you will know from the feel and texture this is true wholesome soap like no other.
The construction of One Village Soap is radically different. Here is the way to properly clean and do good for your skin.
Instead of «tallow» (animal fats), instead of SLS or the latest chemical compounds (dare to study the ingredients list on soap made by our competitors), instead of artificial fragrances – choose triple-milled One Village Soap.
Premium soap with more goodness and free from dubious ingredients.
Beautiful soap! Nothing else compares."
I have a passion for really good soap and this gorgeous soap is the best I have had."
Each of our two soaps has a structure unique to itself.
Unlike most soap makers, we do not remove the glycerine that is formed within our good soap-making process. The beneficial glycerine (entirely from non-animal sources) remains in our soap to enhance the moisturizing qualities.
Our soap balances a Ph value between 9.7-10.5 (to ensure effective cleaning), is rich in glycerine (for excellent moisturizing) and has a very high content of beneficial natural vegetable oils (read more about those below).
This soap does not include sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a known skin and eye irritant probably present in most other soaps. And certainly no triclosan, no antibacterial chemicals, no ammonium – and no microbeads (those tiny plastic skin exfoliants that are polluting the rivers, lakes and oceans). As well as avoiding all that, our soap is also entirely free from artificial perfume compounds.
I can't believe how nourished my skin feels!
This is the first winter for as long as I can remember that I have not needed to use hand cream.
I think I prefer the neem soap but it's a tough call as both are superb. You have a customer for life."
My GP recommended this soap for my itchy skin, and I think it is brilliant!"
– G L, Gairloch/Geôrrloch, Scotland The best soap I have ever used.
I must say that your soaps are just unbelievable! Probably one of the best products I've bought in the last years. The two kinds of soap that you sell are both wonderful to my previously dry and very problematic skin. Being them both biodegradable and animal friendly they are just what I've been searching for years."
Without doubt, the best soap in the world: feels wonderful with real sandalwood scent and lasts for ages."
One Village Sandalwood is made by combining 80/20 two nourishing vegetable oils – rice bran and distilled coconut oil. We then add generous helpings of both authentic sandalwood essence and fine sandalwood powder.
Expensive authentic sandalwood powder and oil.
For the skin, real sandalwood's woody, intense scent is soothing and revitalizing, and it is an effective antiseptic and emollient. Holistically, sandalwood fragrance is a natural energizer.
Sandalwood soap ingredients: Rice bran oil (hydrogenated), Coconut oil, Water, Glycerine, Sandalwood oil extract (enhanced), Sandalwood powder. Less than 0.002%: Citric acid, Sodium hydroxide, Zinc oxide, Sodium chloride.
ANDALWOOD has grown in India for at least 2,500 years and the tree is one of the oldest known sources of perfume. It is mentioned in many ancient Indian texts.
Sandalwood trees flourish from sea level up to 1,800 metres, and trees growing on stony or gravel soils are the ones with the best fragrance. Also, the fragrance increases as trees grow older. Our sandalwood comes from Tamilnadu, where the government has encouraged new sandalwood plantations. All our sandalwood comes from government managed sources. Many people depend on sandalwood for their livelihoods. Artificial sandalwood fragrance (from chemicals) is often used in products by commercial companies – but the qualities of artificial sandalwood are not the same as authentic sandalwood used in One Village soap and incense.
We think that it is always better to use authentic sandalwood rather than an artificial chemical that tries merely to imitate the smell of the real thing.
In any case, the aroma is only one part of the bounty this wood shares with us. But because nature never allows two pieces of sandalwood to be precisely identical, it might sometimes be possible to detect variation in colour as well as the intensity of sandalwood fragrance.
I have used vegetable oil soap for many years, usually Body Shop, but your sandalwood soap is a revelation."
All of my friends and family are getting sandalwood soap for Christmas – the most gorgeous soap I've ever experienced!"
market. – Best sandalwood soap we've ever had."
I was pleased as punch to get the package from you the day after I ordered it. It smells divine and I love it. As a frequent traveller to India I am used to neem tree products and the Mysore sandalwood soap – but One Village products are superior by a long chalk! I wash my hair with the neem bar and it lathers up and rinses off very well. To say I am pleased with the product would be an under-statement. Your soap – I use no other!"
I purchased your sandalwood soap in a shop in Edinburgh and fell in love."
– T C, Wakefield I can't find anything comparable here in the States. I LOVE your soap. Great product!"
The two soaps sandalwood and neem are absolutely lovely. They have a wonderful smell and texture and I think the neem is already improving the mild psoriasis on my hands.
I have already recommended them to two of my friends – one a vegan and another with a dislike of 'commercial soaps'. Your organization obviously helps less privileged communities than ours and that sounds like an extremely good idea; long may it continue.
It was my lucky day when I spotted your advertisement."
One Village Neem is almost 50% neem oil from the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica). – Neem: the natural oil known in India as «the village pharmacy» because of its far-reaching benefits for skin and for wellbeing. Neem is one of nature's truly remarkable oils; it has been valued for centuries.
To best retain all its natural qualities, our neem oil is extracted from the seeds by pressing. Our oil is then carefully filtered but it is not refined.
In our neem soap we also add mohua oil (from Bassia latifolia) (more than 12% of the soap).
The healing properties of this natural oil help to restore skin flexibility.
Our careful blend results in a wonderful soap for all skin. Both neem and mohua oils are rich in nourishments and this composition can help protect skin from infections.
The universal soap for everyone.
Neem is especially recommended to work against eczema, acne, and problem dry skin, including situations where other soaps are not normally acceptable. Some describe neem as «the defeater of all ailments»! Neem is nature's comforting moisturizer.
Our neem soap also includes palm and coconut oils, and nearly 2% pure natural citronella – a lemon-scented oil that has anti-bacterial, anti-septic, and other benefits. It is an aromatic energizer. In the tropics, natural citronella is also appreciated as an effective insect repellent.
Palm oil? Yes, palm oil! All our palm oil is grown in India. It comes from Andhra Pradesh: from independently-owned 2-hectare smallholdings belonging to local farmers. Ours is not «rain forest» palm oil but instead helps to sustain very small family farms which struggle with low-grade soil said to be not suitable for much else. Of all vegetable oils, palm gives the highest oil yield per hectare – so growing a different vegetable oil crop would actually need more land. Processing our oil is done in an Andhra Pradesh government plant which buys from and supports the independent growers.
I have been suffering for years with skin problems and have tried all the so-called gentle soaps to no avail. I have been to my doctor, again to no avail. However, since using this neem soap all my problems have disappeared. A real miracle product which should be recommended by all hospitals and doctor's surgeries."
Your neem soap was recommended to me by someone who had suffered from a serious skin rash for many years and found your neem soap cleared all in a very short time. I too have suffered five years from a most painful rash and seen numerous dermatologists who have prescribed all kinds of skin lotions and creams to no avail. By contrast, your neem soap has amazingly freed me from all this unpleasant rash and discomfort. I thoroughly recommend it."
Please send me more One Village Neem soap. I have found it extremely good. The skin on my face has ceased to be dry and flaky. I am very pleased."
The best product I have ever used on my skin. I usually suffer from contact dermatitis with detergents and soaps of any kind – but not with this product."
The neem soap is so good for my mother and granddaughter's eczema."
The neem soap has really helped calm down the rosacea on my face. Each bar lasts ages, and makes my skin feel so clean and healthy. Thank you!"
On holiday I saw this soap in a shop and thought of my sister who for many years has been plagued with psoriasis. She has used the soap and the difference is phenomenal, so I am now buying her more."
Choose clean and good-looking hair without the use of all those chemicals contained in shampoos.
Try One Village Neem Soap instead of liquid shampoo to nurture and clean your hair and scalp.
In the shower, make sure your hair is really wet then simply rub the soap into your hair and scalp to get a hearty lather.
Use One Village Neem soap regularly – instead of shampoo – to reduce and perhaps eliminate dandruff and unwelcome guests in the hair.
Hair «conditioner» is usually recommended to counter some of the harmful effects that your hair suffers from the chemicals in shampoo. But by using our chemical-free soap – instead of that commercial shampoo – conditioner becomes unnecessary.
(which are polluting the planet). Use our solid soap instead of liquid shampoo – we wrap the soap in hand made paper.
Try shaving with neem soap!
I bought this neem soap from a shop and have used it as a shampoo – and it is BRILLIANT!
It gets the hair literally squeaky clean and makes a superb lather. Please send me more."
I love this soap. My skin is not itchy and my hair feels clean and wonderful."
Have used this soap for eczema on my hands and have had excellent results. It also makes the rest of my body feel lovely and worked a treat when I used it for washing my hair. It also put a stop to the midges biting me in the hot weather. I love the smell too!"
I am re-ordering neem soap having purchased some for my daughter and myself. We are absolutely delighted: we both suffer with skin problems and have experienced a noticable improvement in a very short time. It is excellent."
I love your neem soap, my whole family uses it and it's great for my son's eczema. We also wash our hair with it, and it's always left soft and shiny. I even use it to wash my dogs who have skin conditions and it keeps the fleas at bay. Such a great product."
Instead of relying on the smell (most probably artificial anyway), judge soap by its content!
Compare our ingredients with the soap you usually use. Expensive natural ingredients and careful construction results in seriously top-quality soaps consistent with ayurvedic principles. The difference is noticeable in the feel of the soap and the benefits the oils bring to the skin.
Unnatural chemicals, artificial scents and colourings, can all be absorbed by your skin – but these are totally excluded from our soap.
With 125grams per bar, the quantity is generous (125 grams = approx 4.4 ounces).
Wholesome contents are reflected in the extremely good-looking packs. The soap comes in an unusual shape, is contained in a butter paper sleeve then wrapped in hand made colour-coded textured paper.
Excellent soap...really softens the skin.
I will never go back to sickly sweet harsh chemical soaps."
This is the best soap I have ever used!
It doesn't dry your skin. I keep buying it to give as small gifts for my best friends!"
Having nice soap is one of my indulgences – and this soap is very definitely a nice soap. The feel and texture of it is wonderful and the sandalwood scent is divine; I am ordering again."
This neem soap is lovely, so gentle and kind for my skin. It leaves my skin feeling supple. It also helps dry up the red/raw areas of skin and doesn't irritate my skin where it is cracked. I don't have to use prescribed emollients (sticky and rather foul smelling) when I wash with this neem soap. I love the earthy, wholesome smell. I couldn't go back to using any other soap."

Rodeo FX completed 125 shots for Furious 7, the latest of the Fast and Furious movies, and, notably, Paul Walker's final appearance in the franchise. While marked by a certain poignancy, well handled by director James Wan, the film offers up the usual fast-paced action, including lots of breaking glass, explosions, car crashes, and exotic environments enhanced in CG by Rodeo FX. Given the need for franchise films like this to match, if not outdo the energy and impact of previous instalments, the demands on the visual effects work were considerable.
Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) is in a life-or-death struggle with Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) in an office tower in Los Angeles at night. The muscular fight scene has the two tough guys literally fighting through multiple glass panels, shattering every single of them as they move towards the exterior window. The punch-up ends with a grenade explosion that propels Hobbs and Elena (Elsa Pataky) through the office window.
The massive grenade blast is the result of a CG explosion combined with practical elements shot by in-house VFX DP Robert Bock. This spectacular FX required a lot of work, as the team needed to perfectly blend the CG and real elements. The scene was shot with stunt doubles rigged to cables as they flew away from the building, but the live action shot lacked the realism that the director was looking for. To enhance this shot, Rodeo FX swapped in the CG versions of the actors, created from body scans, and animated them to add rotation and body movement.
This is just one of many scenes in the movie that includes glass, which inevitably is shattered in spectacular fashion. On set, Spillemaecker worked with the filmmakers to choose the right material: real glass, SFX glass, or CG glass.
Inevitably, the film is packed with car chase and crash scenes. Some of these shots were done practically, starting with the cars driving at low speed. In these cases Rodeo FX accelerated the motion and enhanced the environments around them. One scene, in an underground parking garage, shows Vin Diesel and Jason Statham playing chicken, except that they end up crashing head-on.
One scene that required extensive work was a shot of a mansion, supposedly in the Dominican Republic, which was taken from a helicopter of a beach in Malibu. The sandy Malibu beach filled with luxury houses was quite different from the desired tropical look of the Dominican Republic, so Rodeo FX ended up recreating the shot almost entirely, keeping only the main central mansion.
Another scene that Rodeo FX augmented was shot from a helicopter in Abu Dhabi, involving the Etihad towers and flying cars. There was a construction site beside the towers during production, which needed to be removed. While painting out the construction site and the cranes was not an issue, the Etihad towers had to be entirely replaced with CG towers in order to re-project the accurate environment reflections in the glass panels.
Since it's release on April 3, Furious 7 has broken a handful of records, becoming the third film to top $1B at the international box office. The popular franchise has already announced the production of the eight instalment of the series, slated for theaters in April 2017.

Dundeel Maurice
Thank you for visiting Arrowfield
Arrowfield was among several Hunter Valley stud farms that opened their gates last weekend to welcome hundreds of clients, guests and other visitors for the annua
Arrowfield was among several Hunter Valley stud farms that opened their gates last weekend to welcome hundreds of clients, guests and other visitors for the annual stallion parades.
Glorious Spring weather, a stunning line-up of stallions, plus the warm hospitality and hard work of Team Arrowfield all helped to make the Stud's 2017 Stallion Open House a resounding success.
Increased numbers of new and returning breeders were a feature of the weekend, so much so that Arrowfield added full parades to the Stud's schedule on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
Described by John Messara as "probably the best collection of stallions we've assembled in Arrowfield's 37-year history", the 2017 roster is shaped around three major themes: the Best of Danehill (Redoute's Choice, Snitzel, Not A Single Doubt, Smart Missile, Panzer Division & Scissor Kick); Japanese Champions (Maurice, Mikki Isle & Real Impact); and Global Superstars (Animal Kingdom, Dundeel & Shalaa).
Japanese Horse of the Year Maurice, dual Group 1-winning sprinter-miler Mikki Isle and Champion British & French 2YO Shalaa are the new boys on Arrowfield's 2017 roster and they all attracted plenty of admiration. Mikki Isle and Maurice join the returning Real Impact to complete a powerful triumvirate offering fresh genetic options for Australian mares.
Newly crowned Champion Sire Snitzel is in fine fettle for his upcoming busy season, and required a little more parade time to review his history-making 2016/17, and the rocketing start he's made this season, with five stakeswinners already on the board.
Perfect Spring weather, a beautiful setting, gorgeous stallions and warm hospitality made for a busy & enjoyable weekend at Arrowfield.
John Messara with New Zealand visitors Sarah & Marc Devcich who cared for Dundeel between his racing campaigns.
Scissor Kick, led by Jarryd Stennett, certainly lived up to his tag as "Australia's top model stallion"…
…and his gorgeous two-week-old son, with his mother Serenade Lily, was an instant hit with the crowd!
Former NSW Premier, now Racing Australia's Barry O'Farrell & his wife Rosemary, and former NSW Minister for Racing George Souris & his wife Vassy were among the guests at the Arrowfield Stallion Open House.
Origami horse decorations celebrated the three Japanese stallions on the 2017 Arrowfield roster.
With Snitzel and Not A Single Doubt now among Australia's most sought-after stallions, Scissor Kick and Panzer Division represent the next cohort of Redoute's Choice sons poised to make their mark at stud. Panzer Division is very much in his celebrated sire's mould, while the top model looks of Scissor Kick and his two lively, lookalike foals, paraded with their mothers, drew "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowds.
Dundeel, whose first crop are 2YOs this season, was frequently mentioned by guests asked for their pick of the parade, and Animal Kingdom's dynamic presence is evident in his first-crop Australian runners, now 3YOs.
A couple of race results from the Saturday meeting at Rosehill were duly noted at Arrowfield's final parade on Sunday morning. The John Thompson-trained Special Missile posted his fifth consecutive win in great style, taking Smart Missile to an early lead on the 3rd Season Sires' table, with 15 wins and more than $400,000 prizemoney.
Three sons in last season's top 10 might signal time to ease up for three-time Champion Sire Redoute's Choice, but he's having none of it. He was represented by 18 winners of 22 stakes races in 2016/17, sired the year's top-priced $2.5 million yearling and a rare Group 1 double by full brothers Mustaaqeem & Rafeef in South Africa.
Redoute's Choice colt Pariah drove the point home with a splendid victory in the ATC San Domenico S. G3, cheered on from the farm by the Arrowfield team whose excitement was caught on video by Paul Messara and posted on Twitter. Pariah, bred, sold and once again part-owned by Arrowfield, which bought into him in April, now heads to the Run to the Rose G2 on 9 September and, all going well, the Golden Rose G1 a fortnight later.

APD Dumfries won their Western Premier League match on Saturday with an assured 42 run victory over Renfrew at Nunholm.
That was largely due to a terrific century from Vice-Captain Chris Bellwood who amassed a score of 141, including 24 hit off one over, and who only perished, stumped, in the last over.
Aided by 68 from opener Drew Dawson, and their 169 run third wicket partnership, that led to a Dumfries total of 271 for 4.
In reply Renfrew were always under the pressure of runs. Niall Alexander took two important top order wickets, including that of professional Said for 24, the second wicket to fall.
Alan Davidson was the leading top wicket taker with three as Renfrew reached 229 for 8 and Bellwood contributed a further four catches behind the stumps to seal the Building Tec Man of the Match award.
APD Dumfries's next league game is against Drumpellier at home on Saturday.
Dumfries 2nds, Eco-Genics Nunholm, lost out by three wickets in a low scoring encounter at Renfrew against Dean Park in the Western Premier Reserve League. Mark Irwin was the Andersons Kilts Nunholm Man of the Match with an aggressive 44 in a total of 127. The Nunholm bowlers made it a struggle with firstly, Jim Patterson taking two wickets, and conceding a mere eight runs, and then Jerry Goodin three before the opposition reached their target with seven wickets down.
On Sunday Dumfries won through to the final of the Murgitroyd Borders 20/20 with wins over Kelso and then St Boswells in the semi-final. At Kelso, Tom McBride and Chris Brockwell put on a century stand in an imposing total of 166. Kelso scored 130 in reply. It was a 63 run win at St Boswells as Dumfries totalled 145 with Campbell Potts the top scorer with 49. Scott Beveridge took nine wickets over the two games for the Dickies Bar Player of the Day.
Also on Sunday Dumfries Women lost their debut Women's National League match at George Watsons. The Edinburgh side's total of 181 for 3 proved too much to chase with Dumfries scoring a creditable 133 for 7 in their 30 overs.
Margaret Miller was the Parkdale Garage Player of the Match for her first fifty and Captain Sue Strachan added a valuable twenty one.

Daredevil was sadly cancelled last month, and though it was a surprise, many had to see it coming with how Netflix cancelled Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Many have speculated it is because Disney is launching their own streaming service next year, and Netflix didn't want any of their content on their platform. Up until this point, we were yet to hear from Charlie Cox, the star of the show, but he's now spoken – and like the rest of us, he's disappointed as well.
Here's hoping he can, and that Daredevil somehow returns in the future – on the big or small screen. At this point, though, it's said that Disney doesn't want the show (or the other cancelled shows) on their platform or to resurrect them.
How do you feel about the show's cancellation? Are you sad the show won't return? Tell us your thoughts below!


Have you ever found your excuses getting in the way? The fear of failure stopping you from starting?
Then you need to hear today's interview with Heather Bestel, founder of Mum's Got A Business and The Happiness Garden. She's sharing with you the 'inside work' she had to do to go from liver failure and surgery to completing the London Marathon, just 3 years later. And she'll explain how you can apply what she learned to your Passionate World-Changer journey.
This episode is for you if you've ever had a goal that you were dreaming of doing, but you were getting in your own way, secretly self-sabotaging, feeling scared you couldn't manage it and you need the courage and determination to see it through and make it happen.
Is there a dream you've been putting off? Have your excuses been getting in the way?
Is there something you've been wishing you could do, but you've been putting it in your 'mañana-bucket'? How about making the commitment to get started – today – and letting me know, via the comments? And I'm curious: which of the four elements of Heather's success strategy would help you most right now?


If you've thought about beekeeping, this video covers some of the basics to think about.
What are some of the benefits of beekeeping? Depending on location, weather and the experience of the individual beekeeper, you may end up with an excess of 100 pounds of pure honey, and there is nothing like honey from your own hive. Royal jelly, beeswax and propolis can be harvested as well.
Pollination is another motivating factor, for those with gardens. Bees do nearly eighty percent of all pollination. This added pollination often means larger harvests. By simply having bees one can expect a garden to produce considerably more than it did before the beehive.
As pointed out in the website for Beekeeping For Dummies: "In many areas, millions of colonies of wild (or feral) honey bees have been wiped out by urbanization, pesticides, and parasitic mites, devastating the wild honey bee population. When gardeners wonder why they now see fewer and fewer honey bees in their gardens, it's because of the dramatic decrease in our wild honey bee population. Backyard beekeeping has become vital in our efforts to reestablish lost colonies of bees and offset the natural decrease in pollination by wild bees."
So beekeeping is beneficial to all living things: you, your garden, and amplifying the extremely vital bee population of the future.

Q: How to synthesize line breaks in GNU Make warnings or errors? When using the built-in $(error text) and $(warning text) functions of GNU Make, how can I get line breaks into the error/warning output without acrobatics?
By acrobatics I mean funny methods such as these two:
$(warning $(shell /bin/echo -e "something\nfoo\nbar\nbaz"))
$(warning $(shell /bin/bash -c 'echo  -e "something\nfoo\nbar\nbaz"'))

which, btw, didn't work for me with GNU Make 3.81 on Ubuntu 10.04.
Rationale: I want to make the error output in conditional parts (ifeq, ifneq) of my GNUmakefile more readable.

The current workaround for me is to use for each line:
$(warning ...)

and finally for the last line:
$(error ...)

A: Define a line break variable using define/endef and use it as $n like this:
define n

endef

$(warning "something$nfoo$nbar$nbaz")

Note the two blank lines between define and endef

Stainless steel cookware is the choice for many cooks.
Alum for pickling is not a specific product. Rather, there are many other uses of alum. Some pickles recipe handed down from your grandmothers call for the usage of alum.
What is alum? Is it a safe chemical to use for pickling? Alum for pickling - safety guideline how to use this chemical is described in more detail in this page. Alum is a salt which results from a chemical reaction between an alkaline metal such as sodium, potassium or ammonia with a trivalent metal like aluminum, iron or chromium.
Potassium-based alum has been used to produce crisp cucumber and watermelon- rind pickles as well as maraschino cherries, where the aluminum ions strengthen the fruits' cell-wall pectins.
Alum powder, usually found amongst spices at grocery stores, is used in pickling recipes as a preservative, to maintain crispness, and as an ingredient in some play dough recipes. It is also commonly recommended as a home remedy or pain relief for canker sores.
Alum for pickling is approved by the U.S. FDA as a food additive, but in large quantities (more than an ounce) it becomes toxic. As a result, efforts are being made to wean us of our alum dependency. If good quality produce and modern canning methods are employed, there is no need to use alum to bolster the crispness of the pickles and cherries. In any event, even if alum is used to soak the pickles, it should not be used in the final pickling liquid.
Traditional ways to make crisp pickles include using alum powder, lime water solution and also adding grape leaves (which contains tanine).
Avoid inhaling the alum powder-water mixture (or limewater solution) while mixing. Soak cucumbers in lime water for 12 hours to 24 hours. You must remove the excess lime absorbed by the cucumbers to make safe pickles. Remove cucumbers from lime solution, rinse and soak for one hour in fresh cold water. Repeat the rinsing and soaking steps in fresh water two more times.
Handle carefully, as slices will be brittle. Drain well.
Potassium alum is the common alum of commerce, although both soda alum and ammonium alum are manufactured.
Shaving alum is a powdered form of alum used as an astringent to prevent bleeding from small shaving cuts. The styptic pencils sold for this purpose contain aluminium sulfate or potassium aluminium sulfate. Similar products are also used on animals to prevent bleeding after nail-clipping. Alum in block form (usually potassium alum) is used as an aftershave, rubbed over the wet freshly shaved face.
Crystal deodorant - Alum was used in the past as a natural underarm deodorant in Europe, Mexico, Thailand, the Far East and in the Philippines where it is called Tawas (also a Malay word). It is now commercially sold for this purpose in many countries, often in a plastic case that protects the crystal and makes it resemble other non-liquid deodorants. Typically potassium alum is used.
Water treatment - Alum (aluminium sulfate) is used in water treatment. The addition of alum to raw water causes small particles and colloids to stick together and form heavier particles (floc) which will settle in water. This process is called coagulation or flocculation. Malay villagers used to use tawas to clear the water taken from their wells.
Above are basic tips to use alum for pickling. Hope you learned some useful information about this basic pickles ingredient.

IMPROVING HEALTH THROUGH BETTER DATA
Abbott leaders at key tech conference explore how data-driven devices can improve healthcare.
Products and Innovation | Feb. 26, 2019
The latest medical devices can improve people's quality of life and help guide us to better ways to live. What if analyzing the data those devices produce could accelerate all those benefits?
At Abbott, we build life-changing technologies — such as the revolutionary FreeStyle Libre system that monitors glucose readings — that have changed how people understand their health and create new ways to interact with their doctors to improve their care.
In many ways, healthcare is just starting to apply the latest artificial intelligence tools to turn data into better health. Translating innovation into technologies will help people predict their risk and treat the world's most serious diseases.
How the future of health care will improve thanks to data-enabled technologies was one of the focus areas at the Wall Street Journal's Tech Health conference in San Francisco. Abbott leaders helped shape discussion around the overlap of data-driven insights and improved health outcomes.
"Using machine learning, we've found that in combination, patient demographics plus hematological measures and blood proteins are much more accurate in diagnosing heart attacks as well as heart disease than current methods," said Dr. David Spindell, divisional vice president of medical and clinical affairs for Abbott's diagnostics business, at a panel focused on how technology tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) will improve medical devices.
"AI helps us gain insights into health care," Spindell continued. "It helps us develop products for unmet needs by finding these key insights. The thing is that we can't stop at that – we have to use machine learning to continue to refine these products."
Abbott's diagnostics platforms – more than 10,000 globally – track over 1 billion anonymized test results a year back to a central database that presents an opportunity to best understand how our products perform.
This performance data is paired with clinical data from healthcare organizations globally and can provide insights such as combining a patients' age and sex with the levels of a protein found in the heart to help healthcare providers diagnose heart attacks.
From heart disease to cancer predictions to understanding hard-to-diagnose mild traumatic brain injury, the major medical problems in all markets are already being changed by AI and the potential from data analysis. "The insights and products developed through Big Data will only be implemented if they deliver health care at improved cost efficiencies or better care for the same costs," Spindell said.
Treating diabetes – with more than 400 million people living with the condition today – presents a rich opportunity for AI technologies. The data coming from a FreeStyle Libre system can be combined with other patient factors such as diet, activity level and medications taken, said Dr. Marc Taub, divisional vice president of product development for Abbott's diabetes business.
"We could then give a more personalized recommendation on how much insulin to take and give a more optimized therapy," Taub discussed. "Diabetes is a condition that's ripe for AI applications – it's generating tremendous amounts of data and patients are at the center of all that data."
In the field, the visualization of glucose reading data that comes from the new generation of connected continuous glucose monitoring devices has changed how Dr. Eden Miller of Bend, Oregon, works with her patients dealing with diabetes. Before these connected devices, relying on people to self-report their own glucose readings that required fingersticks yielded inconsistent data that wasn't particularly helpful in diagnosing the occasionally sudden swings in blood glucose levels experienced by people with diabetes, Miller said.
With just two weeks of readings, a person's distinctive glucose patterns emerge in what she calls a "roadmap" that illuminates how the body processes foods, and that data both empowers patients to better understand their condition and gives healthcare professionals insights into more effective treatments.
"It's not there to say this these readings are good or bad – it's just a roadmap," Miller said to the panel, encouraging doctors to remove emotional stigmas to sugar consumption and effects on the body. But with the glucose data "I can then overlay treatments, medications and lifestyle changes to empower the patient. It's beautiful because all that data is compiled into a snapshot that's a single page - it really provides a resource to the patient as well."
Health technology companies continue to create data-driven connected devices that give new insights into health conditions. How that data gets harnessed in ways that help treat and predict disease represents one of the most interesting areas of technology to watch.

Early childhood technology is as expansive and multifaceted a domain as the field of early childhood itself. Today, nearly every early childhood service agency relies on technology to support families getting needed and appropriate services, including managing assessments, services and payments. The potential to better support families and to understand what's working means integrating data sets across programs and agencies and applying data analytics. Technology decisions are also more complicated, with different products and cloud-technologies available, and need to invest in mobility and self-service.
PCG has supported states and localities apply technology to better support their child care subsidy operations along the full spectrum. This includes streamlining child care eligibility determinations with other programs, such as Medicaid, TANF and SNAP, enhancing parents' ability to locate quality child care using web-based and mobile tools, and modernizing child care time and attendance tracking using mobile tools.
PCG provides case management and billing IT applications to state and local early intervention (IDEA Part C and preschool special education) agencies, supporting services for 10,000s of children nationally.
PCG has assisted states to modernize their child care licensing technology, by supporting a remote workforce in the field through mobile tools and applying data analytics to prioritize high-risk programs for review.
By improving self-service options, PCG has helped states modernize their child care workforce registry systems to allow providers and staff to independently manage their own careers and education programs. PCG has also assisted states to integrate their workforce systems with licensing and background check systems.
PCG assists states and localities to integrate early childhood data across programs and with other programs, such as with K-12 data, workforce, other benefit programs, child welfare, public health, and other administrative data sets.

Brave Day produced this short film for BBC Contains Strong Language festival - to showcase a new piece of contemporary dance inspired by Imtiaz Dharker's poem This Tide of Humber.
The poem was commissioned for the Contains Strong Language festival, and it captures the inexplicable pull of a city where dislocation and separation mix with images of water and sky to create a unique sense of place.
Dharker's evocation of the city of Hull and the River Humber is interpreted by JoinedUp Dance Company to create a wistful, enigmatic performance piece with an original score by composer Joe Roper. We take a look behind the scenes at the creators of this dance piece and speak to Imtiaz about her poem and her reaction to the interpretation.
