Section 377 Verdict: Google Dedicates Doodle To Its LGBTQ Employees
Written By Diyali Banerjee | Mumbai | Published: September 07, 2018 14:42 IST
India celebrated the Supreme Court of India's verdict of the historic judgment of decriminalisation of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
Google has also joined the celebration and dedicated a doodle to its employees that belong to the LGBTQ community.
As India celebrated the Supreme Court of India's verdict of the historic judgment of decriminalisation of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code., tech giant Google has also joined the celebration. To mark the victory of the LGBTQ Community in India over age-old stereotypes, Google has featured a rainbow-flag doodle on its homepage. Welcoming the landmark ruling by the apex court, the company extended its support through the small rainbow coloured doodle.
Google is known for its features to mark the prominent days, events and activities. It often dedicates doodles of the birthdays of eminent personalities and special days. But this time it moved out of the record to mark the historic ruling of the Supreme Court of India and dedicated the doodle to the LGBTQ Community working under its platform. Reportedly, the company revealed that it shelters an unversed, LGBTQ community of employees called the Gayglers. It further revealed that the term was first used for all LGBTQ employees at the company in 2006.

On Thursday, September 6, the 5 judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India, Dipak Misra ruled in favour of the decriminalisation of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which previously marked homosexuality as a crime in the country.
Announcing its decision the Apex court said that the judgment was passed on the grounds of the biological orientation of the individuals. Being a Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Gay, Transgender or a Queer is not a choice, but it is how they are born. Moreover, it pointed out that the existing law contradicted the right to privacy of an individual.
The court has finally legalised consensual physical relations between consenting adults. The county has welcomed the decision with great joy as rainbow coloured flags and balloons were seen covering the streets across the country. The LGBTQ community arranged Pride Marches in different parts of the country to mark their victory over social inequality. In fact, people have also taken to the social media to voice their opinion in favour of the historic amendment made to the constitution of India.

Suicide prevention needs a new approach

Suicide prevention isn't working.
It's nice to dedicate a month to it. It's kind to send your thoughts and prayers. But when things never change, it's tough to keep the same focus.
Stanford University woman's soccer goalkeeper Katie Meyer, 22, died by suicide March 2. She was a few months from graduating college, and I can't help but feel like I knew her.
I didn't, but this culture of suicide and depression created in the depths of Americanism gave birth to a community struggling with its mental health that I feel a part of.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reported that there were an estimated 1.2 million suicide attempts in 2020. Consequently, the Suicide Prevention Hotline received 27% more calls in 2020 than it did in 2019, a sign that while more are reaching out, just as many, if not more, are suffering.
A lot of this can be attributed to a world-altering pandemic, but not all of it. My battle with depression predated COVID-19. I'm sick of writing about it. I've done this all before, I've pulled similar stats and I've made familiar points. So I'm going to try something new, something more personal.

Stress, spiraling and suicide: 'Mental health' may be a buzzword, but reality isn't as simple
I just can't do it anymore
It's something I've muttered more times than I can count. It goes across my skull like a TV news ticker, bright and present in anything I think of.
Things are going great, though, right? I'm editor-in-chief of this amazing organization filled with brilliant people. I'm at a school I love with roommates I care about. I have a healthy support group and a family that remains my biggest anchor to life. My life, born on Long Island, has not been that hard.
But something's been broken for a while. I can't describe it, but I trust others know the same. There's something that is missing deep in my soul that feels irretrievable. No matter an accomplishment, no matter how great a day can go, it always feels so cold.
The heaviness can just feel too heavy. It's always on my mind that suicide is most prevalent in middle-aged white males, accounting for almost 70% of suicides in the U.S., according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I constantly think, "If it doesn't get me now, it will later. So what's the point? How can I possibly fix this?"
Writing helps, but it also hurts. It serves as a coping mechanism, but it's also a ruthless industry. If I succeed how I hope to, there will be hordes of online comments already telling me what my mind has been pushing for years. One day, my family won't be there to tell me they love me. One day I might just go.
I'm 20 years old, and this is how I think. And I'm not alone.
I have nothing left to give
Feeling empty is all too common. A 2020 study by NORC at the University of Chicago found that just 14% of Americans are "very happy" with their lives.
So what are most people doing more than ever as middle-aged people? Working, of course. A long-standing gripe in the U.S. is the current economic system based around long workdays.
Journalists work on an on-call basis. There are many unappreciated hours for breaking news and coverage that runs longer than a 9-5.
This was my choice, my calling. I'm prepared to take it all on. But each hour adds another weight to my chest. I know every job has its unique stressors that make 40 hours feel like 80.
It's all connected, too much to include in a single article. But we work to our deaths here and all people get are good-intentioned, yet trademark phrases like "I can't believe this" and "I had no idea."
If you're hurting, please seek help
It's the sendoff to every tweet, maybe with a link to a hotline or a source. Those places make a huge difference, offering a last line of defense, so to speak. But they should never be used as much as they are now.
It starts at home and with our educators. Schools of all levels generally don't check in with students unless they self-report or exhibit clear signs that a teacher — who likely is also underpaid and is not suited to handle mental health — brings up with the student or administrators.
I learned the textbook definition of "depression." I sure don't remember it now, but teachers taught me about that and the different illicit drugs that can lead to it. Problem solved, right?
Self-worth comes from within and must matter more than outside sentiments or personal regret. Being happy with yourself is an unbelievable challenge, but that's where the search begins."
— Michael Sicoli, editor-in-chief
Therapy can help. Offloading any day-to-day issues as well as long-term concerns eases that shouldered weight. It's incredibly rare to have unimpeded, open conversations.
However, even therapy has its drawbacks, namely accessibility. Many college students have the luxury of free, on-campus counseling services, but the average session costs $100-$200 each for everyone else, according to a 2019 study by SimplePractice. Some are covered by insurance, but that's another luxury many Americans can't afford.
Going to school to become a therapist takes tons of time and money, hence the exorbitant prices. Now you are talking about the student loan crisis led by overzealous millionaires seeking to gain an extra buck.
It's a constant cycle that leaves Americans of all ages and demographics dead by their own hand. In fact, the AFSP reported that firearms accounted for almost 53% of American suicides in 2020. There are more layers than you can count — it's never as simple as increasing awareness.
Even though I feel empty and lifeless at times, I'm still here. I have friends and family to thank for that, but I want to share a quick sentiment with this community.
For the longest time, I kept myself going on the principle that I'd hurt others if I just gave up. I recently realized that this is an unsustainable mindset. Self-worth comes from within and must matter more than outside sentiments or personal regret. Being happy with yourself is an unbelievable challenge, but that's where the search begins.
What you are feeling is unique to you, and I cannot relate to it. However, you must know you aren't alone. I do not know you or your struggle, but I care for your well-being.
Consider it a fraternity. We have to care for each other because we cannot count on things to change. People will always be suffering, and millions have it much worse than I have.
Convey your thoughts to anyone you care about. It's a step toward a better future mindset with a focus on your own mental health.
I wish I could've met Meyer. In a way, I feel like I let her down, and I don't want that for anyone. All I can do is share a message I believe is worth announcing.
Focus on self-worth. Help others do the same. We only have each other, and sometimes that needs to be enough.

Came here to submit it but have found this old story.
This is a really good summary and is similar to my reaction to the Go Generics proposal - nice to see it being added, but it feels a little obtuse in the current incarnation, and not as simple as other parts of the language. I'd rather see them explore extending interfaces rather than introducing an entirely new metalanguage to describe relations between types.


Wa re lerato ke sefofu, e se lona, e le wene mong!
This poem is unmistakably a love poem. The poet is head over heels and uses his rhythm and rhymes to charm and serenade his love. He promises things only a man in love would dare promise – a love that will quench her appetite for love for good, innumerable kisses, constellations of compliments and endless songs dedicated to her beauty. This poet is on a serious mission!
Aa! Wene a o bolabole mara ditaba bhe!
A o sepele mara mekato bhe!
A o na sefahlego mara bokobo bhe!
A o na pelo mara leshidi bhe!
This poem is a witty commentary on Christmas. The poet speaks to the fact that the meaning of Christmas has been lost in the over indulgence in food, alcohol, and spending. He finds this time of the year nauseating – he hates being a witness to the insanity that engulfs his community. This poem is a plea to go back to the essence of Christmas.
Been trying to download the audio poetry by Jop 'khesimose' but somehow a poem by Adjel gets downloaded on my gadgets,what could be wrong?
Thank you for letting us know – this issue has been fixed.

Comment on Surfing here following the March 11 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami Parts of this coastline were wiped out in the disaster while random areas were spared the destruction - Surfers are back in the water in North Ibaraki in limited numbers and select locations. Now mid August and there are still constant after shocks up to magnitude 6, these shocks are often centered along this coast line both onshore and offshore. Due caution is required, please check with locals before surfing here and be aware there is a lot of tension and trauma in the local population.
Also note this area borders Fukushima prefecture and is less than 100km from the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.
Absolutely loaded with places to surf, Beach Breaks, Reef Breaks, River Mouth Breaks, Protected harbors / fishing ports, Deep Water bombies.
So much to explore........ it could take you years - actually, it has taken me years - however now I surf it as much as I do Chiba and and Shonan and have a 90 + % hit rate for getting good conditions when I go.
Lots of friends in the area so will give you details - without giving away hard kept secrets.
The water starts getting really cold as you go further north and the summer season is short.
Most Tokyo Surfers don't make the trip north very often, even though the highway runs right to the coast and its is faster and easier to access North Ibaraki than it is to go to South Chiba.
This keeps the locals happy, and the lineups empty for much of the year.
There are some strange currents that create upwellings and hence sometimes even on hot 30º days it can be cold in the water.
There are few locals on most of the beach breaks and you are as likely to see foreigners surfing up here as anywhere in close to Tokyo. A couple of the really popular spots have serious locals and a couple of the reefs have protective locals. Even so time it right and its very possible to have an offshore beautiful session with just you and your friends.

Dubai bar aims to break record for world's longest 'domino drop shot'
Written on November 25, 2018 at 00:04, by admin
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The 6,148 whiskey shots perched atop glasses of energy drink waited for the push that might send them tumbling into the record books — just another night in Dubai, and another chance to make a certain kind of history.
Superlatives like "the world's biggest" and "the world's first" are almost as ubiquitous as the skyscrapers and mega-projects that have come to define this city-state on the Arabian Peninsula, home to the tallest building and the busiest international airport on Earth.
With time, this largest-in-life approach has filtered down to more humble and odder pursuits — such as Monday night's attempt at the world's longest domino drop shot.
You probably weren't aware that there was a record to beat in the domino drop shot, or even that there was something called a domino drop shot. Just imagine someone dropping a shot glass into a beer, but before you can guzzle it down, another thousand shots drop into another thousand pints behind it, like dominoes.
The current record holder for the longest drop is the Bahama-based location of the alcohol-soaked chain Señor Frog, which got 4,107 of its 4,109 shot glasses to fall correctly in February 2013.
On Monday, The Huddle Sports Bar & Grill in Bur Dubai sought to break the record. Staffers carefully set up over 6,000 glasses of Camros whiskey and Bazooka energy drink. It was an effort five months in the making, with tests twice a month that took 12 hours to set up.
"When you say Guinness World Record in Dubai, it's something everyone will talk about," said Ahmad Taher, the food and beverage manager at Citymax Hotels, which went for the record.

Such an event would be inconceivable in other Mideast countries like neighbouring Saudi Arabia, where alcohol is illegal and officials are preparing for the annual hajj pilgrimage, required of all able-bodied Muslims once in their life.
But in Dubai, which has a large expatriate population and relatively lax rules on alcohol, the event is unlikely to draw much attention — unless, of course, they make it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Before Monday, the United Arab Emirates held 165 such records, including 129 set in Dubai, according to Guinness.
Among them are the architectural marvels of Dubai, like the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 828 metres (2,716 feet), and the continent-shaped islands of The World, the largest man-made archipelago. The world's longest driverless metro line passes by the twin towers of the J.W. Marriott Marquis, the world's tallest hotel at 355 metres (1,165 feet).

Then there are the stranger feats, like when Indian national Maharoof Decibels won the Operation board game with surgical precision in a world-record 21.87 seconds in 2008. Or when Mohamed Ahmed al-Mulla, an Emirati, typed the fastest blindfolded Arabic text message in 2009. The two-sentences included the phrase: "the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus."
Some records are more infamous. The largest tanker ship ever hijacked? The UAE-based Sirius Star, later released by Somali pirates for a $3 million ransom. The highest shortage of women, according to Guinness? The UAE, with its vast workforce of male, low-paid migrant labourers.
One place the UAE isn't ahead, however, is in the number of overall world records. The United States leads the pack with 6,874. But the UAE and Dubai dominate the Middle East, Guinness spokeswoman Leila Issa said.
"The UAE's initiative to be the first in all industries and their drive for success and to be the best is what drives them to attempt Guinness World Records titles," she said.
The Emirati push for world records corresponds with academic research on social comparison. Studies show that the higher ranked a person becomes in a field, "the more thirsty you are to get to that No. 1 position," said Stephen Garcia, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan.
"Even with adults, if you say, 'First one to the tree is the coolest person in the world,' you're going to get the adults running to the tree," Garcia said. "That's such a childhood game, but people are ready to run with it. Whenever you create a competition, people tend to buy in, even around these trivial dimensions, like this Guinness World Record."
Garcia's lack of enthusiasm was nowhere to be seen at the Huddle on Monday, where the vibration of the speakers in the bar caused a premature drop of some of the shot glasses at around 8:45 p.m., to the horror of onlookers.
The same thing happened again at 10:09 p.m., but was stopped by a nimble-fingered bartender. Five minutes later, another fourth of the shots fell into their glasses before time, sending some workers scrambling to reset the glasses as others asked patrons in the noisy bar to be quiet.
At press time, most of the shot glasses, and the world record set by Señor Frog, had yet to fall.

Wrinkle reduction and skin tightening that combines advanced microneedling with high-intensity focused radiofrequency to achieve outstanding results!
Infini can treat a wide range of conditions associated with aging, including wrinkles and textural issues like acne scarring, as well as skin tightening. The Infini combines advanced microneedling with high intensity focused radiofrequency (RF) energy to volumize tissue and deliver results with just a few treatments.
Energy-based systems like Lutronic's Infini work by stimulating the body's natural healing response to rebuild collagen and internal structure. With Infini, RF energy is delivered via insulated gold-coated microneedles that create precise, fractional Thermal Coagulation Points (TCP) within a specific layer of the dermis. Since the energy is delivered inside the dermis, the outer layers of skin are spared excessive injury, making recovery quicker and more comfortable.
Adjustable depth control allows for customized and reproducible treatments of delicate areas. Infini effectively lowers the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in dark skin types and can be safely used on patients with melasma and other types of pigmented lesions. When seeking this treatment, it is important that appropriate energies and proper depths are used to avoid potential heat-related issues. To ensure your safety, all members of our medical staff have been thoroughly trained by Lutronic and treatments are overseen by our Medical Director. M.D. Laser Studio is one of only a handful of providers in the area authorized to offer Infini treatments.
To determine if you are a good candidate for treatment with Infini, schedule a complimentary consultation with our Medical Director Dr. Alissandro "Andy" Castillo. During your consultation Dr. Castillo will formulate a personalized plan, including pain control, to make the procedure as comfortable and effective as possible. The Infini treatment itself will be performed in 2 to 3 hours, but as with all procedures, we will ask you to arrive early for pretreatment preparations. Immediately following treatment you will have mild to moderate swelling with mild to moderate redness for 3 to 4 days. We recommend that you avoid social obligations for at least 3 days following your Infini treatment. You will be provided with post-treatment instructions and a skin-care kit, and you will need to return for follow-up in one week and again in 30 days.
Two days after your treatment you are encouraged to use the tinted moisturizing sunscreen we provide to protect your skin and reduce the appearance of redness. Your skin will undergo a healing process with the most effect at the dermal level. Two to three treatments each six weeks apart are typically required to achieve the desired outcome. This means that the full impact of your results will be seen in 3 to 4 months after your last treatment.
The Infini provides unparalleled results without surgery! It is an excellent treatment for people of color who must often avoid laser treatments. It also serves as a wonderful complement to other procedures we provide, including Bio-Active Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments and our High-Definition Co2 Fractional Resurfacing. Call 704-664-4247 to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Castillo and find out if Infini should be part of your anti-aging plan!

Electric cars – are you set for the switch?
Home / News / Electric cars – are you set for the switch?
In the aftermath of the government's revelation that new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars will be banned from 2035 and possibly as early as 2032, the realisation is starting to hit home that electric vehicles are the future.
Britain is by no means leading the charge in initiating this policy. Norway has set a much shorter deadline of 2025 for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars and some Chinese cities are discussing a date around 2030.
This means, however, that we have 15 years at most to prepare the UK for the switch and the influx of electric vehicles this will bring to our roads. As qualified and approved installers of EV charging points, NLT is poised and ready to be a part of the drive towards greener transport and we're already exploring the best ways we can help do it.
We believe the changeover will be hugely advantageous in a lot of ways, and not simply in terms of the environmental benefits. Car owners will reap the rewards of cheaper maintenance and running costs once the price point of EVs becomes more manageable, which Bloomberg forecasts will be sooner than you might think. They predict the purchase price of electric vehicles will reach rough parity with fossil fuel cars by the middle of this decade.
The fact is, however, there is still a long road ahead of us to ensure British motorists can keep motoring once we've replaced gas guzzlers with eco-friendly electric cars and vans.
Huge leaps have been made over the last ten years, with electric vehicle charging stations nationwide now outnumbering petrol pumps (As of August 2019, there were 9,199 electric vehicle charging stations across the country compared to 8,396 standard fuel stations). But, there still isn't nearly enough provision to cope with the increase expected in EV car sales.
The National Grid
Sweeping infrastructure improvements are required beyond the installation of charging points. These charging points need to be connected to the national grid's transmission network and upgrades will be necessary to cope with the increased load that rapid chargers in particular will require.
The National Grid's recent report 'Electric vehicle charging – enabling the switch' highlights key areas that will require investment with anticipated costs for grid upgrades reaching £1bn. How this will be funded is another challenge yet to be confronted.
The report states:
A comprehensive network of car chargers will be vital to ensure we are ready for EV uptake, which could come much faster than anticipated. Electric vehicle charging will be needed at five locations, with appropriate charging speeds.
While charging at home will be a convenient option for many, there is also a need to supplement this with local fast charging stations and charging facilities at destination points e.g. place of work, shopping centres etc. In addition, a network of ultra-rapid chargers (up to 350kW) will be needed at strategic points along the motorway network.
Understandably, The National Grid will be prioritising the motorway network and service stations which will have the greatest need for rapid charging. For electric motoring to really work, however, it will require corporates, councils, destination venues and individuals to do their bit.
Homeowners will need to equip their driveways or garages with personal overnight charging points. Companies will need to provide charging points for employees. Logistics companies and fleet operators will have to consider charging of their owned vehicles. Public car parks, town centres and any destination people currently drive to such as shopping centres, stadiums and other venues should also be considering how they can accommodate electric vehicle charging.
There is some financial help available with government grants already accessible to individuals and employers towards the cost of installing a charge point at home or at work.
Grants of up to £500 are available towards the cost of installing a home charge point and the government's workplace charging scheme also provides eligible businesses with support towards workplace charging points.
Our concern, however, is that we'll find ourselves drastically under-powered with potentially chaotic results if the EV revolution takes hold faster than we're prepared for.
Sales figures show that the rise of electric vehicles has already begun, with 37,850 electric vehicles joining the UK's roads last year, up from 15,510 in 2018.
We are advising local authorities, destinations and companies to formulate strategies to facilitate the switch earlier rather than later. Start integrating EV charger installation into budgets and development plans.
We can offer site visits to explore EV infrastructure solutions of any scale, from town planning to homeowner installations. We can assess the most suitable locations, help with advice on products available, design single or volume installation plans and calculate associated costs for both installation and ongoing running and maintenance.
If you would like to learn more about how you can prepare for the switch, call us to arrange a no obligation consultation on 01827 767100.

Dhuhr (Arabisch:ظهر) is binnen de islam het middaggebed dat onderdeel is van de vijfmaaldaagse salat en daarmee onderdeel van de Vijf zuilen van de islam. Het wordt als tweede op een dag verricht.

Dhuhr wordt genoemd in Soera De Nachtreis 78, waar het wordt aangeduid als het gebed bij het verbleken van de zon.

Dhuhr bestaat uit vier verplichte ra'kaat. De leider van de salat, imam genoemd, reciteert niet hardop, maar spreekt onder andere het Allahoe akbar wel hardop uit, zodat de gemeenschap hem kan volgen in zijn handelingen. Vóór de verplichte ra'kaat kan een moslim vier soennah ra'kaat verrichten en ook na het verplichte gebed kunnen twee extra soennah ra'kaat verricht worden. Volgens sommige madhhabs is het een reiziger toegestaan dhuhr in te korten tot twee ra'kaat.

Vrijdags wordt van mannen verwacht dat zij deze salat gezamenlijk in de moskee verrichten, de zogenaamde salat al-djuma; deze bestaat uit twee ra'kaat en verschillende delen, zoals de Koranrecitatie, worden hardop door de imam verricht. Mannen pogen op het tijdstip van de gezamenlijke salat in de moskee te zijn, maar door regen of werk kan men volgens sommige madhhabs verontschuldigen. Voorafgaand wordt een khutbah gelezen.

Dit gebed wordt verricht juist na de hoogste zonnestand van die dag. In principe kan dhuhr tot de volgende salat, asr verricht worden.

One way to look at the abstract factory is to view it as a sort of super-duper-class object. While ordinary class objects know how to create only one type of object (i.e., instances of themselves), the abstract factory knows how to create several different types of objects (i.e., its products). This suggests a way to simplify our Abstract Factory pattern implementation: We can make it a bundle of class objects, with one class for each product. This is exactly the same "classes are just objects" insight that helped us simplify the Factory Method pattern.
This all may seem a bit circular. After all, didn't we originally create the abstract factory to avoid specifying the individual classes? And with our latest abstract factory implementation, aren't we right back to being able to create a pond full of tigers or a jungle overrun by algae? Not really. The important thing about the abstract factory is that it encapsulates the knowledge of which product types go together. You can express that encapsulation with classes and subclasses, or you can get to it by storing the class objects as we did in the code above. Either way, you end up with an object that knows which kind of things belong together.

SWIFF Staff Picks – Festival Director Dave Horsley's top picks
Big changes this year for SWIFF. The Jetty Memorial Theatre has installed a brand new screen and 2k digital projector, just in time for SWIFF 2019. This new setup has opened up film options to a whole new catalogue of cinema, previously unreachable.
This year's line-up has an incredible 60 feature films – if you're looking to see something a little outside of the ordinary, and perhaps adjacent to your comfort zone, then here are my picks to fill up your 12 Film Pass. – Dave Horsley
Kate and I scouted this one together at its New York premiere back in March. Director Lynne Ramsay deserves some serious Best Director Oscar buzz for You Were Never Really Here. It's dark and gritty and utterly immersive. Joaquin Phoenix, well-deserving of his Best Actor gong at Cannes for this performance, drags you into his world – and Jonathan Ames story keeps you there on the edge of your seat until the credits.
You Were Never Really Here Tickets and Info here
Ben Foster is one of my favourite actors. He has gone from strength-to-strength with 3:10 To Yuma and Hell Or High Water, amongst an ever-growing filmography. This time around he plays a hermetic PTSD-suffering ex-soldier that has returned home after war, isolating himself and his daughter – played brilliantly by newcomer Thomasin McKenzie – away from civilisation. Great back-to-back screening in Coffs with You Were Never Really Here.
Leave No Trace Tickets and Info Here
Coffs Harbour's very first World Premiere – and a local story to boot. It's a real honour for filmmakers to find their maiden voyage at your film festival, and Becoming Colleen will be sensational. Many locals will know about Colleen, a woman who transitioned from male to female at 82 years old. The filmmakers will all be here, with veteran journalist Debbie Spillane chairing the panel.
Becoming Colleen Tickets and Info Here
Sisters For Sale
Imagine finding out your overseas friends had been kidnapped and sold off for marriage in a foreign country. For filmmaker/photographer Ben Randall this was a reality. His two female Vietnamese friends had been taken and sold to Chinese men for marriage – and this documentary is about his decision to travel to China and bring them home to their families. Australian Premiere.
Sisters For Sale Tickets and Info Here
A truly unbelievable story. In the same way that David Farrier's Tickled (SWIFF 2017) starts out a light-hearted pop doc, Three Identical Strangers takes an early turn down the rabbit hole, making it one of the most compelling, eye-popping documentaries of 2018. Watch out for this one in the Oscar nods.
Three Identical Strangers Tickets and Info Here
Under The Cover Of Cloud
Ted Wilson's directorial debut is a breath of fresh air for Australian films, that so often have their content tied to finance obligations. His film, in which he has cast his entire family to play themselves in a fictitious story, flips conventions on its head – and it works. Every Australian should see this film.
Under The Cover Of Cloud Tickets and Info Here
One of the reasons I like film fests is that you get to challenge your comfort zone – watch films you might not otherwise see on a big screen. The young French dance troupe, finishing up their final dance assessment for the year, oozes sexuality and unburdened exhibitionism…..and then it all goes pear shaped. Climax manages to delight and excite and make your skin crawl all at the same time.
Climax Tickets and Info Here
I haven't seen this one yet – it's one of Kate's picks. But reading up on The House That Jack Built – and knowing Lars Von Trier's other work – has me excited to see Matt Dillon make a comeback as a deranged serial killer. Let's see if the standing ovation or audience walkouts were more justified.
The House That Jack Built Tickets and Info Here

Fellowship (FFOM)
Election of Members of the Faculty to Fellowship (conferring the postnominals FFOM) is the Faculty's way of recognising those who have made a particularly significant contribution to the practice of occupational medicine, or contributed significantly to the work of the Faculty.
The criteria and application process are determined by the Faculty Board. Members are given the opportunity to apply for Fellowship once in each calendar year. Applications are considered in the first instance by the Fellowship and Recognition Committee which then makes recommendations to the Board. Only Trustees who are Fellows of the Faculty and the lay Trustees may take part in the election of Fellows.
Successful applicants will be invited to attend the Annual General Meeting to be formally presented to the President and receive their Fellowship certificate.
Submissions for Fellowship and Honorary Fellowships for award in 2018 are now closed. Fellows are encouraged to propose and second submissions and to support Members in making their applications in the 2019 round. Notification for when to do this will be sent via the Faculty newsletter at the appropriate time.
Membership (conferring the postnominals MFOM) is available to doctors who have satisfied the Faculty that they meet the criteria to be admitted as Members.
Routes to Membership are:
via specialty training
outwith approved specialty training
ad eundem
Associates of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine are recognised as a key part of the occupational medicine workforce. Associateship offers a professional pathway for doctors who work in occupational medicine but are not in an approved training post.
Associate members receive the same benefits and services as Members and Fellows, including the Occupational and Environmental Medicine journal.
The qualification is gained by passing the Part 2 MFOM, which is the exit examination for specialty training in occupational medicine. Those doctors who sit the examination while not in an approved training post must meet the eligibility criteria. Gaining the AFOM qualification demonstrates a core knowledge in occupational medicine theory and practice.
Associates are not specialist occupational physicians and are not eligible for entry on to the General Medical Council's specialist register for occupational medicine.
For those doctors who wish to proceed further with qualifications, the AFOM can be used as one of the building blocks for an application for entry to the GMC specialist register via the CESR (Certificate of Equivalence for Specialist Registration) route.
Until 2010, Associateship was gained by passing the AFOM examination, which was a mid-point examination during specialty training. Similarly to the new route to Associateship, the qualification was aimed at those pursuing a full-time career in occupational medicine.
Trainee membership (Specialist/Specialty Registrar membership) is available only to those currently on/enrolled in a recognised specialty training scheme. Trainees are automatically eligible for admission to trainee membership on enrolment with the Faculty.
There is a representative of trainees on the Faculty Board who can be contacted via the member login.
Affiliating Diplomates
Holders of any of the Faculty's Diplomas may affiliate to the Faculty.
Affiliating Diplomates have the following benefits:
regular updates on occupational health and medicine issues, through our electronic newsletter
authoritative guidance on occupational medicine-related matters such as ethics and good occupational medical practice
continuing professional development (CPD) through conferences, work groups and briefings
participation in the Faculty's CPD scheme which will provide one part of the evidence required for the revalidation portfolio, and (as from 2013) use of the CPD electronic diary
access to the Faculty's Responsible Officer, for an additional fee, together with updates on revalidation
use of members' room and discounted rate on a meeting room
opportunities to participate in the work and direction of the Faculty in many ways
access to the members' area on the Faculty website
notice of annual prize and fellowship awards
a comprehensive review of the Faculty's work and plans, through the Annual Report
advance notice of new publications and discounted prices
the opportunity to subscribe to Occupational and Environmental Medicine, an international peer reviewed journal concerned with areas of current importance in occupational medicine and environmental health issues throughout the world, which the Faculty has adopted as its official journal, at a reduced rate
Such affiliation to Faculty does not, in itself, confer the right to append any postnominals.
Holders of Faculty Diplomas wishing to affiliate should complete and submit the application form.
Election to Honorary Fellowship (conferring the postnominals Hon FFOM) is the Faculty's way of recognising those outwith the Faculty, and indeed often outwith medicine, who have made an outstanding contribution to the science or practice of occupational medicine.
Lifetime membership is open to Faculty members who have been in continuous membership for at least 20 years and who are either fully retired or earn below a £12k p.a. threshold. In addition to continuing to use post nominals, Lifetime members also get access to FOM events, e-newsletters and to the Members Area of the website. Lifetime membership does not include the monthly posted copy of Occupational Environmental Medicine, although a subscription can be paid to continue to receive it.

Many bacterial pathogens produce extracellular proteases that degrade the extracellular matrix of the host and therefore are involved in disease pathogenesis. Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of ovine footrot, a highly contagious disease that is characterized by the separation of the hoof from the underlying tissue. D. nodosus secretes three subtilisin-like proteases whose analysis forms the basis of diagnostic tests that differentiate between virulent and benign strains and have been postulated to play a role in virulence. We have constructed protease mutants of D. nodosus; their analysis in a sheep virulence model revealed that one of these enzymes, AprV2, was required for virulence. These studies challenge the previous hypothesis that the elastase activity of AprV2 is important for disease progression, since aprV2 mutants were virulent when complemented with aprB2, which encodes a variant that has impaired elastase activity. We have determined the crystal structures of both AprV2 and AprB2 and characterized the biological activity of these enzymes. These data reveal that an unusual extended disulphide-tethered loop functions as an exosite, mediating effective enzyme-substrate interactions. The disulphide bond and Tyr92, which was located at the exposed end of the loop, were functionally important. Bioinformatic analyses suggested that other pathogenic bacteria may have proteases that utilize a similar mechanism. In conclusion, we have used an integrated multidisciplinary combination of bacterial genetics, whole animal virulence trials in the original host, biochemical studies, and comprehensive analysis of crystal structures to provide the first definitive evidence that the extracellular secreted proteases produced by D. nodosus are required for virulence and to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which these proteases bind to their natural substrates. We postulate that this exosite mechanism may be used by proteases produced by other bacterial pathogens of both humans and animals.

Home / Loans / Unsecured Loans / Which Kind of Loan is Right for You?
Which Kind of Loan is Right for You?
If you hear the term 'open ended loan', it refers to a loan that you can borrow over and over again. Simply pay off your balance, and you can use it again whenever you like. This type of loan is used in the form of credit cards. Credit cards can be dangerous though, so make sure you know what you're doing before you take one out.
Mortgage loans, auto loans, and student loans are all kinds of a closed ended loan. They refer to a loan where you pay off the balance, and cannot borrow the money again as you would with an open ended loan. If you wanted to borrow another closed ended loan, you'd need to apply all over again.
If you want to take out a secured loan, you need to put down collateral for it. This could be in the form of your house, or another valued possession. Before you can take out a secured loan, it's essential that you know you can pay the loan back, or you could risk losing something very important to you. You may also need to have your asset appraised before you can put it down as collateral.
An unsecured loan does not demand collateral, but they can be very hard to get. Not only that, their interest rates can be a lot higher than usual. They rely on your credit history to work out whether you're suitable or not.
A pay day loan should only be taken out in an emergency, and only if you know for sure you'll be able to pay it back. As you get the loan in your bank so fast, the interest rates can be high. If you don't pay your loan back on time, you could end up in way more debt than you imagined. A company like Money3 could give you advice on the best thing to do when it comes to pay day loans.
A conventional loan is another term sometimes used for a mortgage. If you hear this term, it more than likely refers to a mortgage loan.
After looking at these loan definitions, you can hopefully now decide which one is right for you. Make sure you weigh up the pros and cons of each option carefully before you decide. If your purchase can wait, then don't take out a loan. If there's a chance you won't be able to pay the loan back, don't take out the loan. Be sensible!
How to Build Your Credit Score When You Don't Have Credit History?


Until April 30 at the Museo Correale in Sorrento more than 350 drawings and paintings by Teodoro Duclère.
Teodoro Duclère (Naples, 1816-1867) was an Italian painter, active as a landscape painter in Naples, Italy.
He was born to French parents in Naples. He is one of the painters considered to belong to the School of Posillipo that arose in Naples associated with the Dutch painter, Anton van Pitloo, who would become Duclère's father-in-law.
The exhibition aims to showcase the distinctive holdings of the museum's library, set up on 10 October 1918.
The library currently owns some 6,000 books and pamphlets, over 400 manuscripts and a significant number of 16th- and 17th-century volumes, as well as an extensive collection of books by Torquato Tasso dating from the 1500s onwards.
Over the years the library has been enriched with mainly 18th- and 19th-century books on the history of the Kingdom of Naples and the Two Sicilies.
The Museo Correale is offering a rare glimpse of its collection of 400 drawings coming from the house of Teodoro Duclère (Naples, 1812-1869), never before shown to the public.
The collection from Duclère's studio was added to the museum's holdings through a private donation left to Count Pompeo Correale.

'Stay away from drugs'
Home / 'Stay away from drugs'
Assistant Minister for Employment, Productivity, Industrial Relations and Youth Sports Honourable Alipate Nagata urged football players to stay away from using drugs in sports.
Speaking while opening the Vodafone Futsal Inter-District at National Hockey Center on Friday Naqata highlighted to the players of the importance of staying away for performance enhancing substances in sports.
"We are all aware of the impact of this dilemma in sports not only in our country but the world over and there is indeed a need to for this problem to be fully understood."
"Recently in the news we have heard of the allegations against Fijian footballers allegedly involving the use of Marijuana. I understand the FFA are exploring avenues for testing facilities where random players will be tested not only for Marijuana but other performance enhancing drug,"said Nagata.
He said government through the Ministry of Youth and Sports had taken a step forward in the National Anti-Doping Policy which was, if passed, will be the first in the pacific region.
"The Ministry's plan does not rest only on the Policy itself but has its sight on having a National Anti-Doping Bill which will assist in the Establishment of Fiji's own National Anti-Doping Organisation and again this will be a first for a Pacific Island Nation."
"As big brothers in the Pacific Region, we have to show our fellow Pacific Islanders on the Best practices in sports and creating a clean sporting environment in the Pacific.
"On that note I wish to share with you all the importance of good governance in sports. Good governance in sports is a foundation for building sports excellence in any country,"said Nagata.
Nagata added that Government through the Ministry of Youth and Sports, promotes values and social cohesion through national sports development.
"Sporting tournament helps bring about a healthy, vibrant and physically active nation and promote health and wellness through partnership- based programs."
"I see a lot of rising stars sitting here and I encourage you to keep on striving for the best.
"Remember 'Practice does not make perfect'. If the old saying were true, there'd be thousands of perfect football stars out there.
"It's "deliberate practice" that allows you to steadily progress with whatever skills you're looking to improve. "Deliberate practice" is one of the key differences between the most successful sports persons and the average ones. You have gone past that and are deliberately prepared now for the FUTSAL Inter District Competition.
"Government regards Sports as a multi tool; it is a career; it keep you fit; it brings us teamwork; discipline; integrity; leadership; will to win; make a healthy nations; and keep you away from Non Communicable Diseases [NCD's].
"I am pleased that FUTSAL football in the nation has been making steadfast progress and I sincerely acknowledge the efforts of the Fiji Football Association in the promotion and creating awareness on the sport."
He encouraged all to behave in a way which brings pride to Fiji Football; be humble in both victory and defeat.
As Nelson Mandela said: "Do not judge me by my successes; judge me by how many times I fell and got back up again".
"Each time you get up again, analyse and apply the lessons learned to your preparation so that you improve and continue to challenge your fellow athletes." "Remember to play fair and to play true. Taking prohibited substances is not only cheating but is bad for your health. We respect the loser who lost on his or her merits more than an athlete who won

At one restaurant, we picked the fennel flowers from the planter next to us and used them on our fried anchovies. Can't do that indoors!

if you're a solo diner, you will probably get seated in the backyard not at a table, but on a bench with a nearby shelf on which you can put your food when you're not eating it. So you will essentially be eating off your lap.
Whoever thought this would fly? I can't even handle ''let's take our Banh Mi to a romantic little park" in Paris.
As you might have noticed, I pretty much think this outdoor dining stuff is mostly a mug's game.
We're getting told it's our responsibility as consumers to "support" the decimated restaurant industry. But nobody's "supporting" us. Why should I pay full restaurant prices -- and then some: now the City is leveraging consumers even more by instituting restaurant "relief" in the form of a permissible 10% surcharge -- to eat off my lap? Relief should come in a coordinated way from the government, not in a slapdash way that's unequally distributed by definition from individual consumers who have their own similar problems. This is an insane way to run a country. It's enough to make you move to Portugal.

Pretty much a maxim of life, isn't it. Cross out go and fill in your blank.
Unfortunately, you approach a point where "tomorrow" and "the end" begin to converge.
Although, honestly, in times like these the imminence of "the end" is comforting.
(Of course, if I don't get out of here and into someone else's system, the suspension of equitable health care is going to make "the end" a lot more imminent than it now is.)
The music is your special friend....
The music is not going to treat me for cancer (god forbid).
Also, whatever "Mother I want to [aaaaaggghhhuuuuughhhhhh]" meant, I don't want to do it.

Okay, this'll sound harsher than I mean it to, but I'm of the mind that the government has, and is gonna have, quite a few more important places to institute relief. And I'd rather they do those things. Frankly, I think that much of the restaurant biz has been a "mug's game" long before COVID or outdoor dining and that we chose to support it & continue to do so. I don't see why taxpayer funds should be prioritized to keep us from putting more into the pot when there won't be enough government funds available to do more important things. We can (& probably will) kick in another 10% just to keep our way of life going, you with lap dining and me with eating dishes in reverse order and smiling thru it (I assume you saw my previous post upthread?). Its what we do (as is bitching and moaning about it). I'm sure they do it in Portugal as well.
In Portugal they never smile.
