With a number of different events all occurring on Sunday 23rd September there was a relatively light turn-out for WADAC at the Solent Half Marathon with just 9 gents and 10 ladies braving the rain and the wind in the New Forest.
Luckily the appalling weather first thing in the morning had eased somewhat by the time the race started at 10am, leaving little more than a light drizzle, a gusty breeze and a few big puddles.
Our first lady to finish was Sonia Rushby who came first in the F45 age category. Natalia Muska was next with a PB and third in the F35 category and Karen Hazlitt completed our A-team by finishing first in the F50 group.
Emma Carter ran a PB, headed up our ladies' B-team and was also third F45. Fiona Bolton (PB) was next and Jo Curtis rounded off the B-team with an excellent first in the F60 vets category.
Carrie Oliver was third F55 and was joined by Jackie Ducker and Sally Easton in our ladies C-team.
Alex Whiting was our first gent home with a great Half Marathon PB, followed by Chris Setters, Colin McManus and Saul Duck (PB) to make up gents' A-team.
Steve Goodwin came second in the M60 category and was joined in the B-team by Richard Munro (PB), Rob Porter and Dave Walker.
Unfortunately Jonathan Kane had nobody else to join him to make a gents' C-team but he was suitably compensated by winning the first prize in the M75 vets category.
So another win for our ladies' A-team sees them stay at the top of their division in the league and start to gain a bit of a lead even at this early stage in the season. Similarly our ladies' B-team remain top of the table having come first of the teams in their division and the C-team slip to third in that same table.
Our gents' teams suffered a little from the relatively small WADAC turn-out (frankly if I'm in the A-team it's not a good sign) so the A-team slip down to seventh in their table and the B and C teams settle at sixth and twelfth respectively in their division.
A huge thank you to everyone that took part and came out in the less than favourable conditions.
Please sign up ASAP for Gosport Half (18th Nov), Victory 5 (2nd Dec) and Stubbington 10k (13th Jan) – all of which are on the verge of selling out.

WASHINGTON -- Carriers will have until Oct. 15 to offer ships for the new Maritime Security Program, the Maritime Administration announced on Tuesday.
The MSP that begins on Oct. 1, 2005 is essentially an extension of the current program that began on the same date in 1996, although the fleet will expand to 60 ships from the current 47.
The first five MSP contracts are set aside for product tankers, with the intent that the vessels will be new-built in U.S. shipyards. Existing MSP vessels that meet the age requirement will have second priority at new contracts. Operators that meet the U.S. citizenship requirement of the 1916 Shipping Act will be given third priority.
Operators in the program will receive annual subsidies that begin at $2.6 million, with biennial increases to $3.1 million for fiscal years 2012 to 2015.
Marad will receive comments on the interim rules until Aug. 19.

Welcome to Unleash Education. I founded this company because I believe it is time for change; deep, sustained change. Our vision is to create a great place for all — a world where each and every individual is valued for his or her unique contribution. Our mission is to unleash the potential of individuals and organizations…online, in real time!
Unleash is the solution we've been waiting for. We've been talking about diversity, the learning organization, leadership development, and the voice of the people for years. But let's face it technology, training, and culture change initiatives have failed to deliver a solution that creates a great place for all. Unleash Education fills this critical void.
Instead of just nice words on the page, Unleash teaches, reinforces, and embeds leadership values and behaviors into the learning process. It guides individuals and organizations to think, to plan, to take action, and to reflect on how their actions impact results. These behaviors become how we live and work and they are reinforced on a daily basis in all we do. Finally, there is a solution that takes the intangible yet essential behaviors of success and turns them into visible, demonstrable action.
The system takes each person through a process of personal discovery, planning, and reflection. It ensures individuals take ownership for their own personal and professional development. But with Unleash people are never alone; stranded with no-one to talk to. Each person can be supported by a network of mentors – teachers, parents, subject matter experts, peers, and other professionals – who teach, guide, and support them.
Since we are all part of many organizations, Unleash brings all our Knowledge Centers together for us in an organized, structured manner. On one screen, we can access all our learning opportunities: our school, our work, our volunteer work, our associations, our hobbies, our community, etc.
Unleash Education provides rich, real time quantitative and qualitative feedback that flows up, down, and across. This level of visibility turns any organization into a dynamic Knowledge Center. With Unleash, leaders have the data they need to make timely, strategic decisions with confidence. They have the information they need to let creativity and innovation flourish.
Unleash Education concurrently develops the Individual and Knowledge Center. It creates learning individuals and learning organizations, all at the same time. The system promotes fully engaged individuals who support the Center's shared vision and take accountability for delivering remarkable results both personally and collectively. It produces a group of capable individuals who come together with shared purpose and passion.
Please join me in this exciting journey. We need deep, sustained change. Let's build networks of vibrant Knowledge Centers around the world where each and every person has the opportunity to develop the skills they need to succeed. Unleash definitely will change the world. It's time to build a society that is full of growth, self-sufficiency, and prosperity for all. Unleash really is the solution we've been waiting for and the wait is finally over. Let's create a great place for all. Let's change the world together.

They are seeking key words or expressions that will catch their interest. If the resume is too wordy or as well long, it's probably headed for the "no" pile.
Make good use of bullet indicate summarize your work experience as well as success. Not only does the employer discover this much easier to read, however it will assist maintain your resume at one or two pages. DO NOT send a three web page resume, unless it is definitely essential. Even then, do refrain from doing it.
Additionally, do not make use of a generic resume to simply send out to every possible task listing.

Vertically ordered arrays of silicon nanoneedles (Si NNs), due to their nanoscale dimension and low cytotoxicity, could enable minimally invasive nanoinjection of biomolecules into living biological systems such as cells and tissues. Although production of these Si NNs on a bulk Si wafer has been achieved through standard nanofabrication technology, there exists a large mismatch at the interface between the rigid, flat, and opaque Si wafer and soft, curvilinear, and optically transparent biological systems. Here, we report a unique methodology that is capable of constructing vertically ordered Si NNs on a thin layer of elastomer patch to flexibly and transparently interface with biological systems. The resulting outcome provides important capabilities to form a mechanically elastic interface between Si NNs and biological systems, and simultaneously enables direct imaging of their real-time interactions under the transparent condition. We demonstrate its utility in intracellular, intradermal, and intramuscular nanoinjection of biomolecules into various kinds of biological cells and tissues at their length scales.


The Objective: To install a Linux distro with the minimum of fuss and fiddling and to be able , with some degree of confidence, to start to "sell" Linux to the unconverted.
The target: A Compaq Presario SR1250NX desktop – 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4, 512Mb memory, 150Gb SATA drive, Intel 3d graphics accelerator, DVD R/W drive, CD ROM drive, 6 USB ports, Viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a 1280x1024 resolution, and a memory card reader (all formats) . The Compaq SR series is pretty standard for the low end of the range, the major variations seemingly being in just speed and make of CPU, amount of memory, type and number of CD/DVD drives and size of the hard drive. I suspect the motherboard is also shared with the HP Pavilion range of computers. As such, the SR1250NX is representative of a large part of the branded market at the lower end/entry point level: therefore one would think that it would be fairly easy to install Linux.
In order to establish its suitability at purchase, Knoppix 4.0 live was tried, and seemed to function well. Having SuSe 10.0 already installed on the laptop, I decided to first try SuSe 10.0 on the desktop.
SuSe 10.0: Having used SuSe 8.1 and SuSe 9.0 for quite a while on my laptop, and only abandoning SuSe at 9.1 and 9.2 (because they forgot about including any form of PCMCIA support) in favour of Simply MEPIS 2004, I was extremely pleased with SuSe 10.0 on my laptop,especially as the Linuxant Winmodem driver installed and worked. Here I thought I could comfortably say that the time of the perfect disto had come. Full of confidence, I decided SuSe 10.0 should be installed on the Compaq desktop. In normal mode the installation froze before even reaching the GUI install stage. Install in safe mode had mixed results. Twice it froze at the "packages to install selection", and twice it froze during the copying of packages to the hard disc. Trying all the workarounds I could find in the user community, including Linuxforums.org, I was still unable to get SuSe 10.0 to install.
Update: OpenSuSeSlick:I just received a disc with OpenSuSeSlick – a stripped down fork of Open SuSe 10.0. It installed, in safe mode, problem free and is up and running. A high speed connection is required in order obtain all the packages required to bring it up to desktop standards and there seem to be problems installing the recommended security updates.
PCLinuxOS 9: Another distro that worked well on the laptop, it worked in the "live" mode on the desktop, although there was the minor inconvenience of having to instruct it to recognize the monitor as 1280x1024. To offset this, there was automatic detection and configuration of the attached HP deskjet printer. PCLinuxOS installed without problems, but when trying to boot from the HD install, froze and gave the following message - " Kernel panic – not syncing: No init found Try passing init=option to kernel". Referring to the PCLinuxOS Forum (www.pclinuxos.com) indicated this problem may be related to LILO (why it is used it in preference to GRUB is a mystery to me – but, after all, Linux is about choice), or the failure to load required drivers. Appropriate workaround suggestions are given, but were not tried at this time. PCLinuxOS is a terrific live CD (I voted for it in the Linuxquestions poll) but as a problem free hard drive installation, this distro didn't work either.
Kubuntu 5.11: It ran in the "live" mode well, but the partitioner seemed to be weak (and confusing).I only proceeded to the HD installation after having pre-partitioned the drive (in Windows). Coupled with the fact that Ubuntu/Kubuntu ignores the basic UNIX structure of root and user accounts, didn't encourage me to pursue use of this distro. However, in its defence, it did install problem free and the update packaging is excellent.
Simply MEPIS 3.4: Previous versions of MEPIS have always impressed me, especially the hardware detection and probably the best partitioner/installer of all the distros. I used Simply Mepis 2004 for over a year on my laptop and loved it with only two reservations (1) The kernel headers were not present to allow the use of the Linuxant Winmodem drivers and (2) USB support was poor to non-existent. Simply MEPIS 3.4 installed easily on my laptop but I opted for SuSe 10.0 on it because even though USB support is now terrific there is still (1) dependencies missing for the Linuxant drivers and it was necessary to reload the bootloader twice – a problem referred to much too often in the Mepis forums. Not needing the modem on the Compaq desktop, I felt Simply MEPIS 3.4 would be an ideal candidate for desktop installation. It did eventually install, but using "Safe mode" only, and no matter how much I tried, I was not able to get the display to be satisfactory. With the setup configured to 1280x1024 still left the display about 1" too wide for the actual monitor. Manually adjusting the monitor resolved this problem.
Fedora Core 4: In default install mode caused a kernel panic, too fast scrolling did not permit it to be read. In "Linux Noprobe" mode, got to the "language","Keyboard" and "options for Install" menu. This menu had options for CD, HD, HTP, HTTP but no DVD. It opened the empty CD drive and refused to recognize the DVD drive, so no further progress was possible.
Madriva 2006: Attempting an install with the Alt0 option, the message " Fatal error giving hand to second stage" was given, followed by "Exited Abnormally" message. The log displayed the cryptic message "/sysroot/tmp/stage2/etc/init: I/O error – pivot_rooting unsetting automatic. The whole system then froze. Mandriva 2006 was then discounted as a candidate.
Slackware 10: Couldn't get past the initial crude screen before freezing.
Debian 3.1. In default installer mode, went through initial menus – language choice etc – to the scan CD stage, followed by the message " There was a failure reading data from CD ROM (Load installer components from CD)" and then froze. The DVD itself is not defective as I subsequently installed from this DVD on another computer.
Knoppix 4.0: As mentioned above, ran well in "live"mode. Also installed easily – but only after I had pre-partitioned the hard drive. (The lack of a decent partitioner seems to be the one ongoing weakness with Knoppix). Everything configured and worked, except for the 3D acceleration, but that I don't really need.
Of course, fans of the above distros will immediately comment on, and readily provide, suggestions and workarounds that would probably permit most of the above "failures" to be installed. This, however, was not the purpose of the exercise. Whereas there is a reasonable expectation that Windows will install, trouble free, on all newer machines, Linux has to do the same if we want to get more people to try an alternative OS.
great post, indeed!!!! very unique...and informative..


So we are talking here about the LTE versions of the popular Apple iPad Mini and iPad 4 tablets. Right as we speak Sprint has them on the shelves ready to meet the customers. A while ago we talked about these same two devices but they were Wi-Fi only versions so for those of you uninterested back then, now you might be pleased. If you decide that you want a LTE iPad mini then a total of $459.99 must be paid in order to own it.
The iPad 4 is slightly more requiring $629.99 so if you can afford it, don't let anything stop you. I hear that they provide data plans going from 300 MB all the way up to 12 GB. Of course the price will be depending of your choosing, the minimum being $15. iPad Mini comes with a screen having a 7.9 inches diagonal while the iPad 4 has a 9.70 inches one. After a look under the hood I see that iPad 4 is slightly more powerful having a 1.4 GHz dual core CPU.
iPad Mini has a dual core CPU at 1 GHz so you can see the difference. The common element on these two devices is that 5 megapixels camera from the back side which comes with geo tagging, touch to focus, BSI, auto focus and 1080p HD video recording capability at 30fps.

The Road: Distilled Despair, With A Hope Chaser
It's as if someone had taken every human moment out of 2012 - Roland Emmerich's apocalyptic disasterfest - and put them into this movie, another end-of-times story, this one penned originally by Cormac McCarthy, which focuses so intensely on how one man and child deal with a world dying by inches at the end of an apocalyptic event, that it lacks even a single CGI disaster scene.
Which isn't to say that the movie doesn't have its own cinematic moments of gray-on-gray beauty: a broken freeway spanning an abyss, a business tower in flames, a mall in destruction. What haunts these scenes are their little familiarities, carefully composed and delicately photographed, as our ordinary world is painted black: a washed out billboard, tilted telephone poles along a residential street, an ATM sign in a vandalized movie theater. But where 2012 gave us an irrepressible orgy of irrelevant specifics, The Road is a lazy, meandering journey of desperate vagueness: we're never told what caused the apocalypse and why only a few survivors remain. All we're told is that if they want to live, they need to be ever vigilant, looking out for scraps of food and wary of bands of ruthless, roving cannibals. Their main asset seems to be stupid luck. And how they got here seems to be irrelevant: whatever's caused this condition of complete despair and has put this father and son on a road of survival is merely the human condition, and our own human failing.
The Road starts us in medias res: a disheveled old man and a young boy wake up in rags along the road; they are obviously running from something in a desolate landscape of burned trees and destroyed cars. Through flashback we're filled in with some of the missing pieces, though not all - the young boy is the man's son, who was born soon after some apocalyptic event destroyed most of the exterior world: killed the animals and vegetation and scorched the earth. The man and his wife lived on scraps, holed up in their home, for several years after - but eventually, as life became too tough, as neighbors turned menacing in their search for what little food remained, the wife decided it was better to leave this world than to continue suffering its cruelties. But the man refused: and now, faced with nothing but evil and despair, he must protect his son from roving bands of cannibals, and try to keep them both alive in a dying world.
That's heady stuff, and this isn't necessarily a film for those looking for some holiday cheer. There isn't far one can go with complete destruction, but McCarthy isn't after the entertaining nihilism of say, a Mad Max movie, or the clever spiritualism of M. Night Shyamalan. Instead, this is a religious metaphor about a test of faith: when everything is stripped from him - not only his own life, but the entirety of humanity - can our hero continue on - does he have the strength not to take his own life? There is even a Hieronymus Bosch-like scene of hell, in the basement of a house (that a man like this should have known better than to enter), where cannibals are keeping their naked captives to gnaw on for supper at their leisure. Meanwhile, the man and his son roam the empty world that's become a kind of purgatory - a mere waiting place between the memory of their former life, and death. (So maybe it is a holiday movie after all?)
This is truly a movie carried by the sets and the acting - both of which are superb, with Vitto Mortensen drawing us into the character from the first few scenes. Most of the movie is spent wandering, simply trying to survive and find food, and the man is haunted by dreams of his former life. The true inheritor of this world, however, is the son, not the man - the son who confesses to his father that it's really he that has to worry about everything. Despite the man's wariness, the son hasn't lost his basic sense of human kindness, and eventually, one realizes that even in this desolate half of a life, the son will be the one to create a new civilization.
It's only when we get to the end of the movie - which is too rushed to fully tie everything together that it's trying to - that we find out where those elements of civilization come from: from the hope of human kindness kept alive inside, even in the most dire of circumstances. The irony is that the father must extinguish his ability to trust, if he's to keep himself and his son alive, even if his son's only hope is to maintain his ability to judge human nature, and know who to trust. At the end, we realize that if only the father had been able to risk trusting someone as well, they might have both been saved.
This movie, which was slated for release last year, and then pushed back, is clearly meant to be Oscar bait. It's a dark horse, to be sure, but what it has going for it is a very Christian moral, laid out simply and starkly. I'm not convinced (the movie does too neat a job delineating between the opposing forces, when I believe the reality would be the dynamics of the shades of gray), but it sure is effective story telling. When I left the theater, even the big men in the audience weren't afraid to admit they'd been crying.

How much money is spent on global transport systems? And where is this money coming from?
These are critical questions: The world's cities will add 274,000 people every day for the next 30 years, and urban leaders are currently grappling with how to invest in solutions that will allow this growing population to safely live, commute, and carry out their livelihoods. This requires significant investment from governments and business in transport networks. Yet global public and private transport investments have never been comprehensively calculated—until now.
New analysis from the World Resources Institute's (WRI) EMBARQ and Climate programs quantifies the total annual transport capital investment around the world. Drawing on data from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and others, The Trillion Dollar Question finds that the global transport investment is between US$1.4 and US$2.1 trillion each year, enough to fund the capital budget of New York's subway 88 times. That figure is also somewhere between the GDP of Mexico and the United Kingdom. Any way you look at it, the amount is enormous. The majority of this investment comes from the private sector and goes to major economies like the United States and Japan.
These findings have significant implications—both for the cities of today and for investing in the future cities we want.
It's well documented that the transport sector has a major impact on the economic and environmental outlook for cities in both the developed and developing worlds. Investments in transport infrastructure are particularly influential, as the roads, rails, and stations we build today will stick around for decades.
More importantly, these capital investments will dictate long-term urban development and resource consumption patterns. For example, if present infrastructure and economic growth rates continue, China alone will boast more cars in 2050 than there are in the entire world today. This car explosion would generate more air pollution, fuel climate change, and pose safety concerns for both drivers and pedestrians. To reverse this car-centric trend, we need to change the kinds of transport assets we finance. The first step toward influencing global transport development is to follow the money and identify how to get finance flowing in the right directions.
On that front, WRI research offers some early insights—particularly on the role of the private sector.
WRI research finds that the private sector is a major player in global transport finance. While public investment accounts for US$569 to US$905 billion a year, the private sector directs between $814 billion and $1.2 trillion. Three-quarters of this investment occurs in high-income countries.
The private sector's larger role in transport investment is also more pronounced in wealthier countries, where the investment climate is more favorable (i.e. less risky). About 62 percent of investment in high-income countries comes from private sources, compared with about 44 percent in low- and middle-income countries. Investments from within the European Union, United States, and Japan account for 80 percent of total global private investment. Public finance comes almost exclusively from domestic budgets (98 percent), with the rest from international aid (about $14 billion) and climate funds (fewer than $2 billion).
Estimated Private Investment in Transport by Site of Investment. Graph by EMBARQ.
However, private investment in emerging economies' transport networks may not be modest for much longer. World Bank data reveals that private participation in transport in low- and middle-income countries grew 400 percent between 2000 and 2012, suggesting that the opportunities for return on investment in transport in the developing world are viewed more positively than in the past.
As the world's massive urbanization continues, there are high expectations and big opportunities for the ongoing role of private enterprise in the transport sector—in both developed and developing nations. This week, for example, the Transforming Transportation 2014 (#TTDC14) conference, co-organized by EMBARQ and the World Bank, will focus on the theme of "Better Cities, Better Business." Mayors, business leaders, and transport experts from around the world will convene to examine opportunities for the private sector to advance the sustainable urban mobility agenda for cities.
While identifying the amount invested in transport overall is an important starting point, quantifying the volume of investment in sustainable transport—such as public transit, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian walkways— is a crucial next step. Currently, investment in developing countries favors carbon-intensive transport, putting these countries on the path toward unsustainable, auto-centric development already embedded in many parts of the developed world. Roughly 80 percent of the Asian Development Bank's transport portfolio and the majority of private investment across all sectors in developing countries support roads and highways rather than sustainable transport systems.
In order to catalyze investment in sustainable transport modes that reduce human impact on the environment and improve quality of life in cities, we need more detail. Tracking investment flows from public and private sources provides a springboard from which to track to investments in sustainable transport specifically. More importantly, it lays the foundation for developing strategies to increase investments in transport infrastructure that serves people, not cars.

La Douma (en ukrainien : дума, doumy au pluriel mais également doumas) est un poème épique chanté qui a pris naissance en Ukraine à l'époque des cosaques Hetmanate au , basé sur des formes épiques antérieures de Kyivan ). Historiquement, les doumy étaient interprétés par des bardes cosaques itinérants appelés kobzari, qui s'accompagnaient sur un kobza, mais après l'abolition du régime Hetmanate par l'impératrice Catherine II de Russie. Par la suite, le chant épique est devenu le domaine des musiciens ambulants aveugles qui ont conservé l'appellation kobzar en accompagnant leur chant d'un instrument de musique ukrainien, le bandoura (rarement un kobza ) ou d'une vielle à roue.

Historique
Les spécialistes établissent un lien entre la douma et les formes poétiques qui existaient en Ukraine au 12ème siècle. La douma serait le résultat de la synthèse du chant folklorique, fondement du genre, avec l'influence "livresque" (plus intellectuelle) qui apparut aux 16è et 17è siècles. On y trouve beaucoup de vocabulaire archaïque ainsi que des termes issus du vieux slavon d'église (langue liturgique). Les éléments de nature livresque auraient été introduits par des musiciens colporteurs au , dont l'inspiration individuelle est venue enrichir la créativité d'origine populaire.

La douma se distingue des autres poèmes du même type par le fait que la structure n'obéit pas à des règles établies et varie en fonction du récit, en utilisant des phrases syntaxiquement complètes, véhiculant chacune une idée bien déterminée. Le vers se compose de 4 à 40 syllabes, et la rime joue un grand rôle en établissant des liens entre les différentes strophes. La douma n'est pas vraiment chantée, mais plutôt psalmodiée, avec une mélodie ressemblant à une lamentation et soutenue par l'accompagnement d'un instrument tel que la bandoura, la kobza ou la lyra (vielle à roue).

Les doumy étaient des chansons construites autour d'événements historiques, dont beaucoup traitaient des actions militaires sous diverses formes.  Enchâssés dans ces événements historiques se trouvaient des éléments religieux et moralistes. Il y a des thèmes de la lutte des cosaques contre des ennemis de différentes confessions ou des événements survenus les jours de fête religieuse. Bien que les récits des doumas tournent principalement autour de la guerre, la douma elle-même ne favorise pas le courage au combat. La douma donne un message moral dans lequel on doit se conduire correctement dans les relations avec la famille, la communauté et l'église.

Ostap Veressaï, ménestrel kobzar célèbre, et Taras Chevtchenko, écrivain et âme de l'Ukraine, sont notamment les représentants de cette forme chanté du poème épique.

Hairspray! My Reviews 19 SEP 2007
So Chantelle and I finally got around to watching Hairspray at last, a movie shes wanted to see for some time now. The film is an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning 2002 Broadway musical of the same name, itself adapted from John Waters' 1988 comedy film.
This version of Hairspray is directed and choreographed by Adam Shankman and stars John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Allison Janney, and introduces newcomer Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad.
Note to all guys: this movie is a musical, so if you couldnt stomach Grease, Moulin Rouge or even Chicago, remember to take a comfy pillow to the theatre with you. Just remember that you partner will more than likely disown you.
Set in 1962 Baltimore, the film follows a "pleasantly-plump" teen named Tracy Turnblad as she simultaneously pursues stardom as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against racial segregation. The local TV show in question is non other that the Corny Collins Show, a dance show that is hugely popular amongst all the local teenagers. Tracy and her best friend Penny Pingleton don't miss a single broadcast, and when the opportunity arises to audition for the show, Tracy has no hesitation in applying, despite her rather unattractive (though comical) build. Of course, Tracys overweight, shut-in mother (John Travolta) is against it from the start, but her joke shop running dad (Christopher Walken) is behind his daughter every step of the way.
Despite the machinations of the shows producer, Tracy does manage to get hired in the end, causing a major headache for the shows director and sponsor thanks to her very short and rather stout appearance, but an even bigger headache when it her firm belief in racial integration becomes apparent. Not afraid to say what she thinks or how she feels, Tracy quickly becomes a headache for the station.
Just to set the background, the USA is on the verge of a racial revolution, but for now it is strictly whites for whites and blacks for blacks, highlighted by the fact that the Corny Collins Show dedicates a special show once a month for blacks, namely Negro Day – where the white and black kids dance on the same floor – but separated by a length of rope.
However when the cancellation of Negro Day gets announced, Tracy takes it in her own hands to rally support from the black community and take things further, even at the cost of her own security.
By now, you are thinking that this sounds like a rather serious movie, don't be alarmed. Though the underlying story may be serious, the film is best described as a light, feel-good comedy that will have you smiling throughout the movie, be it at the wonderfully crafted lyrical content of the songs or at the plentiful humorous scenes about in the movie.
Nikki Blonsky is terrific in the role of Tracy Turnblad, portraying a truly likeable girl that anyone would find difficult to fault. Her hair and mannerisms make for most of the humour and feel-good atmosphere of the movie, and she does a really great job in her first big acting role. John Travolta and Christopher are equally as brilliant and humorous in their roles as you would expect these stars to be and Michelle Pfeiffer puts in a great performance as the evil station manager.
Actually the whole cast puts on a great show, with both the singing and acting being equally good. Of course, this being a musical, almost all the actors needed to do their fair bit of singing, and it comes off highly polished and professional.
The rewritten and touched up soundtrack for Hairspray is a piece of brilliance, with the songs retaining a light, catchy feel to them, with just a hint of irony or humour edged into them. And because this is a musical, you can instantly tell where most of the films attention to detail was spent. That said, the visuals are just as sumptuous, with the movie following the 1960s setting and vibe perfectly.
In fact, apart from it being a musical, there is nothing bad I can say about it at all. You cant help but enjoy this movie, which to me feels very much like a spiritual successor to Grease, and I admit to thoroughly enjoying it.
If you love musicals in the vein of Grease or are looking for a great date movie, then Hairspray is definitely the one for you!

What Is the Success Rate of Pain Management Injections in NJ?
Success rates for interventional therapeutic injections vary depending on a patient's condition and the severity of pain. Therapeutic injection pain management in NJ can provide relief from pain, and the effects may last from one week to up to 12 months.
When we place injections in the proper place through the aid of radiographic confirmation, many patients receive sustained pain relief. The pain injections used are highly effective in cases where the patient experienced leg pain. With the relief provided by steroid injections in NJ, a patient's quality of life and mood can be dramatically improved.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Injections?
When you are suffering from debilitating pain and your painful symptoms persist despite conservative measures, interventional pain management such as therapeutic injections may be recommended. The goals of these injections are to reduce and relieve pain and/or manage disabling symptoms while improving a patient's overall quality of life. These injections also help the physician pinpoint the pain generator and target a therapeutic solution. Learn more about this interventional pain management technique below.
Lumbar Facet Joint Injection: The lumbar facet joint or medial branch injection can pinpoint the root cause diagnosis of back pain and provide significant relief from pain and inflammation.
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection: Steroid and lidocaine anesthetic can be injected under fluoroscopy x-ray with you under conscious sedation. If your pain diminishes dramatically after the injection, your doctor will know that level is where your pain is originating.
Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Block: A physician who has suspected a possible abnormality on an x-ray or MRI may try a nerve block to confirm your source of pain and the affected area of your spine. The physician usually uses a numbing medicine or anesthetic like lidocaine.
Cervical Facet Joint Injection: This injection is used to diagnose pain that's occurring in the neck, upper back, and shoulders as well as some headache pain. It is an outpatient procedure.
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection: This is an epidural steroid injection delivered into the cervical epidural space around spinal cord where it can exit nerve roots to relieve inflammation and pain. The injection can reduce and pain and swelling in the neck, shoulders, and arms.
Cervical Sympathetic Nerve Block: This procedure is used to discover whether or not your sympathetic nerves are the cause of pain happening in your shoulders, neck, or arms. If you are experiencing pain in your hands, shoulders, or arms, your doctor may recommend a stellate ganglion block test.
Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection: A caudal epidural steroid injection involves injecting a steroid and anesthetic like lidocaine through the spine, into the epidural space, where inflamed and irritated spinal nerves are located. The injection is used to treat neck and back pain. Sacroiliac Joint Injection: Also called a sacroiliac joint block, SI joint injection is primarily used to diagnose and provide therapeutic pain relief from low back pain and sometimes sciatica symptoms.
Trigger Point Injection: This is an injection into common trigger points of spasms and inflammation in your muscles. Common trigger point locations include the trapezius and rhomboid muscles in your back.
Discography: Discography is a diagnostic injection technique. A doctor uses this injection to determine what discs in the patient's spine are the cause of their pain.

Texas posts mortgage delinquency rate of 0.89%, study finds
December 14th, 2020 Bethany Blankley
Among Texas homeowners, 0.89 percent of them are late in paying their mortgages, the 26th highest percentage among the 50 states, according to a new study by the website Construction Coverage.
The average mortgage per household in the state is $176,827, the analysis by ConstructionCoverage.com concluded. The company employs technical and financial experts who work to help construction businesses, according to its website.
In Texas, the annual median income for those households with mortgages came in at $100,584, researchers found. And the April unemployment rate in the state was reported at 13.1 percent.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act temporarily suspended home foreclosures for federally backed loans until the end of this year. As a result of the CARES protections and loan forbearance, the total U.S. mortgage debt is at a 15-year low, according to the analysis. But that could quickly change when foreclosures resume in 2021, the study based on New York Federal Reserve data said.
Nationwide, the average mortgage debt is close to $200,000 per household, according to Construction Coverage. Delinquency rates tend to be highest in the Northeast and parts of the South, including Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, the study reported.

"At its core, the filibuster is not about stopping a nominee or a bill, it's about compromise and moderation. The nuclear option extinguishes the power of independents and moderates.… Moderates are important if you need to get to 60 votes to satisfy cloture; they are much less so if you only need 50 votes. Let's set the historical record straight. Never has the Senate provided for a certainty that 51 votes could put someone on the bench or pass legislation." - Joe Biden, March 2005

Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and devastating consequences. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: "Madame Bovary, c'est moi." One of the greatest novels of the 19th century, Flaubert's torrid debut lives on in Geoffrey Wall's brilliant translation. This edition features an introduction by Wall, and a preface on Emma Bovary's femininity and modernity by novelist Michèle Roberts.

EUROPIZZI S.r.l. has passed the in-depth inspection of the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) auditors with flying colours, aimed at ensuring that the ennobling operations and the marketed Chemical Products are fully-compliant to standards and certified.
The internal audit, which is aimed at ascertaining: the actual compliance of the products to the GOTS criteria; the proper organisation and management of manufacturing processes and internal procedures that are likely to jeopardise the compliance of the product itself with the requirements defined by the standard; the compliance of the pertinent environmental and social criteria.
The issuing of the Certificate of Conformity based on the information and data collected during the assessment and inspection process.
EUROPIZZI S.r.l. has had to tackle different yet parallel paths, given its two characterising divisions.
Today, the Dyeing and Finishing Department presents its GOTS Certification regarding the textile ennobling of natural fabrics, more specifically, concerning the relative pre-treating, dyeing and finishing operations.
While, the Textile Auxiliary Division obtained the GOTS Certification where we can find the list of manufactured, used and sold Chemical Products.
This provides an additional guarantee of the quality proving that EUROPIZZI S.r.l. always pays painstaking attention to the pre-requisites dictated by sector-related standards and legislation currently in force.


Photography 139 is the dream of Christopher D. Bennett.
Christopher D. Bennett has spent many a day and night reading photography manuals, playing with toxic dark room chemicals, and cruising around looking for (and creating) what he feels is a prime photo opportunity. He does not do this for fame, fortune or some conglomeration of fame and fortune. He does this to hone his craft and record his adventures, and the adventures of the people he loves dearly. He does this so he can share what he feels is the everyday beauty in life that most people either take for granted, or don't even notice.
The challenge that Christopher D. Bennett and his art give the rest of humanity isn't to "merely Stop and smell the roses", but to stop and admire the beauty in everything that God has made beautiful in this world. Do not stop admiring that beauty when it is no longer in your presence, but place it in your heart and remember it forever.
It is a dream that Christopher D. Bennett began to dream the first time he touched a Minolta over ten years ago and, it is a dream that he continues to dream every new day. A dream that he hopes to share with you while you are within the walls of the Photography 139 website.
